You may not want to hear this, but if you are going to juice make it organic! When you juice conventional vegetables you are likely absorbing all the pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or genetically modified organism (GMO) stored in them. Because juices are so concentrated your body will soak up those chemicals immediately. Especially if you are doing a cleanse, this is crucial! I know you may be thinking, isn't just drinking juice in general better than no juice at all? Well, there is something to be said about that, as it's better than what most people are drinking daily (soda, sugared coffees and pasteurized juice). However if you are making the effort to enhance your health, then you may as well go the full length and do it right!
Problems with buying store bought juices:
•Juice in bottles is often pasteurized. This means it is heated to at least 145*F/62*C to make it shelf stable, thus deactivating the beneficial enzymes.
•Plastic packaging contains "leachables" or some sort of chemical component that ends up in the juice.
•Plastic is harmful to the environment as it contributes to pollution, affects wildlife, and ultimately ends up in the food chain.
Juice delivery cleanses:
In terms of juice delivery services, you need to ask yourself a few questions. How fresh is the juice? Are these companies adding any preservatives to make the juice last longer? Are they using completely organic ingredients? Or is the juice being store in plastic bottles? It is hard to know. That is why it is best to juice your own fruits and vegetables. If you can't get organic produce, make sure to wash it thoroughly with a vegetable wash, peel anything that is known to be heavily sprayed (including bell peppers) and avoid anything that cannot be peeled (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries). There are some companies that do adhere to strict principles and ensure that the juice is from high quality organic ingredients and stored in glass bottles. So be sure to do your research.
If you're not sold on juicing yet, here are some of the main benefits...
1. It helps your body absorb the nutrients from the vegetables/fruits. Many individuals have difficulty digesting certain foods. As a result, the body doesn't absorb all of the nutrients that the food provides. Juicing helps to "pre-digest" the food for you, making it easier for your body to receive and absorb all of the nutrients.
2. Juicing helps you increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables. Many individuals do not get enough fruits and vegetables throughout the day. Juicing allows you to obtain all of the beneficial nutrients in a quick and timely fashion.
3. Juicing helps to broaden your intake of various fruits and vegetables. It is easy to stick to the same fruits and vegetables day in and day out. But it is important to rotate your intake of various foods to get the full spectrum of nutrients.
4. It helps to improve your health and sustain a nutritious raw lifestyle. Eating a high percentage of raw fruits and vegetables contributes to high energy levels and faster recovery from illness...as well as a slower aging process.
5. You are able to obtain all of the beneficial enzymes found in the produce, which is important for metabolism.
6. The body receives a sufficient amount of phytochemicals, which helps it fight disease.
7. Juicing provides the body with a high concentration of antioxidants, which helps combat free radicals.
8. They are rich in vitamins and minerals and helps hydrate the body.
9. Juicing is a live liquid supplementation and provides greater benefits than taking synthetic supplementation.
10. There are lots of options when it comes to juice, allowing you to enjoy different combinations!

The Pard Letters
Book by: thatgirlanna
Status: Finished
Genre: Memoir
Chapter2 (v.1) - A Week and One Day
January 22, 2011
A week and one day
My dearest, sweetest boy,
I have cried many times this week. Most of it done at night, when no one can hear. Sometimes driving in the car. Sometimes just sitting watching the TV. I've kept busy this week, working, helping Macady with her homework, going out for meals, cooking meals, being sick, eating ungodly amounts of cough drops, taking Star to adoption days. I chased a loose dog at the shelter all over, hitched a ride with a stranger because I couldn't breathe in any more cold air and was heaving, caught the damn dog and took her back to the shelter. I watched a couple bring in a bitch with 8 puppies. He literally DRUG her to the back room. She was so scared to death and the petrified look on her face has haunted me all day. I had to help catch her and push her forward. It was disgusting to witness. I walked out into the shelter foyer and watched another family dropping off 8 more puppies. 16 dogs in 10 minutes. Sickening. I don't like the shelter, I don't like adoption days. I don't like the idea of marketing a dog to sell, or 'adopt' out. I don't really want Star, he fits in with us because we care for him, feed him, shelter and love him. He loves snuggling, but he doesn't stay at your heels like you heelers do. He's a sweetheart, but he doesn't like little kids in his bubble. He put up with being pulled in and out of his kennel by strangers, sat nicely, shook hands, lolled his tongue about and generally looked adorable, but when it was time to go, he got surrounded by about 5 kids and growled at one standing in front of him. Does that make him a bad dog? I don't know. I don't really care, isn't that awful? If he was like you, I'd think about keeping him forever. I spent $18 and microchipped him today, but I'd be just as happy if he settled in with another family. Not the deaf lesbians that wanted him, but a good family with understanding parents and non-crowding kids. An inside home with a fenced yard. I miss you P.
This cough is kicking my butt by the way. My ribs and chest hurt. I put your collar and baggie on my bedside cabinet the other day. I touch it every night before I go to sleep and tell you goodnight. I shouldn't reach out to pet you when I lay down, but I still do. It's hard reaching out to nothingness but I do it anyway, on the off-chance that I just might feel your ears under my hand. I still feel your spirit in the living room, and I am glad of it. I know you'll leave when I am ready, and until then, I am happy knowing you are near. Selfish and bizarre as that all is, I take a small measure of comfort in it. I've only been out to the chickens once to get eggs this week, and I couldn't bear to look at the turned-over earth under the trees. I am glad the deck is in the way so I don't have to see it from the house, and I am happy when it snows because it turns brown to white and makes the sight of earth easier to ignore. I try not to think about the 14th, but it is always burning in the back of my mind. If I stop being busy, or lay awake too long at night, I think of you and start to cry. If I don't think about you buried in the ground, if I don't imagine the weight of earth pressing you down, if I just don't think....then it's ok. I can't allow myself to think of you that way, but the ground reminds me and I hope Spring takes her time, so I don't have to deal with seeing the earth there. I am grieving Pard, and I have no idea how to do it properly. There is nothing that can prepare a person for this. I do try to stay busy, to not listen to slow or sad songs, but it doesn't help. Sadness and ache come in overwhelming brutality and I can't help but sink to it until it ebbs and I can get up and keep moving. I miss my old boy. I miss seeing you on the living room floor. Stripes misses you like crazy. I try to give her extra loves, but I can tell she misses you. She comes in at the same time every night and I know she is looking for you, just like she always has. Maybe you can visit when I am not here, and give her lots of kisses because she needs them. She doesn't understand where you went and I can't explain it in terms she'll ever know. I don't know what the rules are there, but she would love to see you again. As for me, I will wait until it's my time and when it comes, I will hold you and love you and never, ever, ever let you go.

The 60th National Film Awards will be held at the Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi on May 3. Coincidentally, the day also marks Indian cinema's centenary. And this year the event will be hosted by actor R Madhavan who excitedly tells us, "This is the first time that I have got the opportunity to host an award function as prestigious as the National Awards. Some amazing films and artistes have been recognised this year and I am really looking forward to the evening." Reportedly, actor Huma Qureshi will be co-hosting the show with him today.
The recipients for this year include names like Tigmanshu Dhulia for Paan Singh Tomaar in the Best Film category, Shoojit Sircar and John Abraham for Vicky Donor in the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment category and Nawazuddin Siddiqui for his performance in Kahaani, Gangs of Wasseypur II, Dekh Indian Circus and Talaash in the Special Jury Award category.
This year actor-producer Javed Jaffery is bagging an award for the second time in a row. "We made Inshallah Football and it won the National Award last year. Then we made Inshallah Kashmir — a film on the Kashmir conflict. Nobody makes films with an intention to win awards but, of course, winning the National Award for two consecutive years is a very happy feeling," says Javed.

When I was recently talking to a woman who does a lot of regular baking, she asked how I make a gluten-free angel food cake. "Well, um, I don't." I tried it a couple of times over the years and was not pleased with the results, and I never got back to trying it again.
However, that question got my mind rolling, and I knew I had to give it another try. I think the problem was that I didn't know enough about making angel food cake. It was a dessert I enjoyed before I went gluten free, but I don't think I ever made one of the cakes myself.
I looked at numerous recipes online and in cookbooks and determined that the ingredients were almost identical in every recipe. And those ingredients only included one cup of flour, so how hard could it be to convert the recipe to gluten free?
There were a few variations in how the ingredients were combined. I went with what made sense to me.
You need a tube pan (not a bundt pan) to make angel food cake. One with "legs" sticking out the top of the pan is nice because the cake cools inverted in the pan. If it doesn't have legs, you can invert the pan onto a bottle. The pan should not be non stick. If it is, the cake may fall out when you turn it over to cool. Mine looks like this:
It's also nice to have a two-piece pan where the metal tube and pan bottom fit into the round part of the pan. Because the cake sticks to the pan, this allows you to loosen the sides after it cools, remove the tube part, then run a knife along the bottom to loosen that.
I completely expected that I would not be perfectly happy with the results of my first trial. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! The cake rose beautifully, and the taste and texture were just as they should be. I think this is going to be my new favorite dessert for serving to company.
My husband was wishing for some lemon curd to put on his cake, so I made another cake for Father's Day and served it with berries and lemon curd. I didn't get a picture of that cake, but it turned out just as nice.
Angel Food Cake
Yield 12
- 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup potato starch
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch or flour
- 1/4 cup millet flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 large egg whites (1 1/2 cup), room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon almond extract)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Separate the eggs and let the whites sit in your mixing bowl (glass or metal, not plastic) for about 30 minutes so they come to room temperature.
- Be sure your bowl is very clean and there is absolutely no yolk in the whites. It is best to separate each egg into a small bowl, then add it to the rest of the whites. That way if a bit of yolk gets in with the white, you can save the egg for another purpose and not ruin the whole batch.
- Preheat oven to 350°
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, potato starch, tapioca starch, millet flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract until foamy. I used my KitchenAid whisk attachment.
- Slowly add the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Do not over beat.
- Fold in the flour mixture about one fourth at a time, making sure you scrape the bottom of the bowl when you fold. Do not mix, just gently fold until all the flour mixture is moistened.
- Spoon the mixture into an ungreased angel food cake pan (one without a non stick coating) and smooth the top.
- Remove air pockets by gently cutting through the center of the batter with a thin metal spatula (icing spreader) or knife.
- Bake for 35 minutes, then check for doneness. A wooden skewer inserted in the center should come out dry. Also, the cracks in the top of the cake should be dry and the top should spring back when touched. Mine took 45 minutes.
- Turn the cake upside down and cool for at least an hour in the pan. Most tube pans have legs to keep the top of the cake off the counter. If yours does not, invert onto a bottle inserted into the tube.
- When cool, run your metal spatula or a knife around the sides to loosen. Remove the outer part of the pan. Run your spatula under the cake to loosen it from the bottom and remove to a cake plate.

We love Alice for its blend of great qualities—she's sweet and dainty yet strong and substantive, traditional and timeless but still feels young and fresh. Here, some Alices who've made a name for themselves.
Alice Munro

Ripoff Report
Carol WrightPO Box 7823 Edison, New Jersey United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My mother died in late December 2010. As executor, I'm now receiving her bills. Her credit card statement just arrived with a $14.99 charge from "DLH*PTS Carol Wright." The charge was dated the day before Mom died. I called the phone number associated with the transaction to inquire about the charge and got an automated system. It let me cancel the charge and get a refund, automatically, but there was no way to contact a human being to find out what the charge was for. So I went online. That's when I saw all of the scam complaints about Carol Wright and monthly charges.
Worried that this had happened to mom, I got online access to her past credit card statements. She made a $14 purchase in February 2009. In early March '09, $2.99 showed up on her statement. In late March there was a charge for $14.99. And there was a $14.99 charge every month for the next 21 months! That totals nearly $333!!
So I called the Carol Wright customer service number, spent several minutes on hold, then spoke with a guy named Dave. I told him about the charge and the complaints I'd seen online. I asked what their "Passport to Service" was. He said it offers discounts on all kinds of items. Every item he mentioned -- lawn mowers, TV sets, various services -- are not items or services my mother used.
He then told me that mom purchased a microwave egg cooker in early February 2009 and the offer was "attached" to that purchase. According to his records, someone then talked with mom on 20 February 2009 and she agreed to look at the information and consider a 30-day trial service. He said, "If they don't call and cancel the service, then they're automatically billed for it." That apparently is what happened. Then he said, "And then they don't remember, and they go online and call it a scam."
So here is a woman who, at the time, was 92, living alone and independently. Her short-term memory wasn't good. Her only son, my only sibling, was dying. Her own health was deteriorating. She obviously was not checking her monthly credit card statements carefully. And, like many 90-somethings, she was living really close to the bone on a small social security check. So she ended up paying $347 for a frigging $14 microwave EGG cooker!
Needless to say, I am FURIOUS that companies can get away with this kind of practice. I don't doubt that mom got the phone call. And I can hear her saying, "Yea, whatever" to a nice telemarketer whose feelings she didn't want to hurt ... and not understanding or even HEARING all of the words the person was saying.
So SHAME ON CAROL WRIGHT for preying on people like the elderly, who either do not understand what they're getting into or cannot understand because of hearing or memory problems.
As a professional speaker and executive coach, I typically use stories to illustrate important points for audiences. Most of those stories are about stellar customer service organizations. But every once in a while, I encounter practices that are so egregious, I hold them up as models of what NOT to aspire to. Carol Wright just soared to the top of that list. I will make a point, every time I step in front of an audience, of drawing attention to this company's sleazy practice for making money at the expense of unwitting and naive customers like my elderly mother.

The team at Decollage have just released this brand new video for German producer and DJ Dominik Eulberg. Made up of Diane Karner and Roland Lindner, they describe themselves as architects and visual designers by day, visual artists and VJs by night.
The music video was inspired by the cover of Dominik Eulberg's forthcoming 'Ein Stueckchen Urstoff' release, which consisted of a microscopic image of crystallised vitamin B6.
Sheet music
The textures created in the video are based on the 'Bubblesheet' photographs by Matthias Lindner which depict colourful LED lights reflected by thin sheets of industrial aluminium. These sheets are an industry by-product, distorted by heat from being used as a separation material between layers of blazing hot aluminium panels.
Visuals are projected onto a wavy sheet of industrial aluminium,
filmed and then digitally projected onto 3D metaballs and bubbles.
The final textures are a result of the projected source visuals, the imperfection and waviness of the sheets, the compression of the HDV camera used for the shoot, the distortion on the metaballs and some grading and love in the post production.

If your church's leader has been killed by a poisonous snake he handled, what's the best way for his followers to celebrate his life? By handling some poisonous snakes, of course.
Days after Jamie Coots, pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name church died from being bitten by a poisonous snake, his followers returned to his church after his funeral and continued their tradition.
The theory is that God will protect the snake handlers from being bitten if their faith is strong enough. While it may appear that Coots made an error in his calculations, his son said that dying this way was what he had planned all along.
"How many people can pray that that's how they wanted to die and got exactly what they prayed for? Not Many," said Cody Coots. "His next request was 'when you come to my funeral, pack my snakes, and handle them over my corpse.'"
So, that's exactly what pastor Coot's flock of serpent-juggling, hillbillies did.
The practice of snake handling for Jesus comes from an interpretation of a passage in the Gospel of Mark which says "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Coot's church also spoke in tongues but there is no evidence that any of its parishioners drank poison.

UPTON, NY -- Dopamine, a brain chemical associated with addiction to cocaine, alcohol, and other drugs, may also play an important role inobesity. According to a study by scientists at the U.S. Department ofEnergy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, obese people have fewerreceptors for dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps producefeelings of satisfaction and pleasure. The findings, which willappear in the February 3, 2001 issue of The Lancet, imply that obesepeople may eat more to try to stimulate the dopamine "pleasure"circuits in their brains, just as addicts do by taking drugs. "The results from this study suggest that strategies aimed atimproving dopamine function might be beneficial in the treatment ofobese individuals," says physician Gene-Jack Wang, the lead scientiston the study.
Brookhaven scientists have done extensive research showing thatdopamine plays an important role in drug addiction. Among otherthings, they¹ve found that addictive drugs increase the level ofdopamine in the brain, and that addicts have fewer dopamine receptorsthan normal subjects.
"Since eating, like the use of addictive drugs, is a highlyreinforcing behavior, inducing feelings of gratification andpleasure, we suspected that obese people might have abnormalities inbrain dopamine activity as well," says psychiatrist Nora Volkow, whowas also involved in the study.
To test this hypothesis, the scientists measured the number ofdopamine receptors in the brains of ten severely obese individualsand ten normal controls. Their method consisted ofgiving each volunteer subject an injection containing a radiotracer,a radioactive chemical "tag" designed to bind to dopamine receptorsin the brain. Then, the researchers scanned the subjects' brainsusing a positron emission tomography (PET ) camera. The PET camerapicks up the radioactive signal of the tracer and shows where it isbound to dopamine receptors in the brain. The strength of the signalindicates the number of receptors.
Obese individuals, the scientists found, had fewer dopamine receptorsthan normal-weight subjects. And within the obese group, the numberof dopamine receptors decreased as the subjects' body mass index, anindicator of obesity, increased. That is, the more obese theindividual, the lower the number of receptors.
"It's possible that obese people have fewer dopamine receptorsbecause their brains are trying to compensate for having chronicallyhigh dopamine levels, which are triggered by chronic overeating,"says Wang. "However, it's also possible that these people have lownumbers of dopamine receptors to begin with, making them morevulnerable to addictive behaviors including compulsive food intake."
The researchers note that, based on this study alone, they cannotconclude whether the brain changes they've detected are a consequenceor a cause of obesity. They also acknowledge that the regulation ofbody weight is extremely complex, involving many physiologicalmechanisms and neurotransmitters. But they do suggest that addressingthe dopamine receptor deficiency or finding other ways to regulatedopamine in obese people might help reduce their tendency to overeat.
Unfortunately, many of the drugs that have been shown to alterdopamine levels are highly addictive. But exercise, which has otherobvious benefits in weight control, is another way obese subjectsmight be able to stimulate their dopamine pleasure and satisfactioncircuits, the researchers suggest. "In animal studies conductedelsewhere, exercise has been found to increase dopamine release andto raise the number of dopamine receptors," Volkow says. Thissuggests that obese people might be able to boost their dopamineresponse through exercise instead of eating - just one more reason toexercise if you're trying to lose weight.

AP, Covering ACORN La. Raid, Acts As If Only One Office Was Videotaped by O'Keefe and Giles
Did you know that activist filmmaker James O'Keefe and partner Hannah Giles made only one undercover video showing ACORN employees willing to assist them in illegal and human rights-violating activities?
Absent prior knowledge, that's the impression you would have upon reading the Associated Press's coverage of the latest development in the ACORN saga, namely the raid on the organization's New Orleans office by Louisiana state investigators.
AP writer Cain Burdeau only mentions O'Keefe's and Giles's videotaping efforts in Baltimore. The fact is that the pair have thus far presented the results of their efforts in five other locations, and may have more episodes in inventory for other opportune times.
Here are the first five paragraphs of Budreau's coverage (bold is mine):
Computers, records seized at ACORN offices in La.
State investigators raided ACORN offices on Friday, taking away computer hard drives and documents as part of a probe into alleged embezzlement and tax fraud when the organization's national headquarters was based in New Orleans.
"This is an investigation of everything - ACORN, the national organization, the local organization and all of its affiliated entities, specifically as it relates to any potential violations of Louisiana law," Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell said.
ACORN staff on the scene declined to comment, but an attorney for the group said in a statement the raid was prompted by allegations that former ACORN employees had removed or altered electronic documents and may do so in the future.
Attorney Pamela Marple said ACORN was cooperating and called the raid exhaustive, saying investigators wanted "virtually every document in the possession of ACORN and any related entity."
The raid was the latest development for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Videotapes released recently showed ACORN employees offering tax advice to two people in Baltimore posing as a prostitute and her pimp. The videos led Congress and state governments to cut funding for ACORN.
For the record, the other locations besides Baltimore where O'Keefe and Giles have shown results of their undercover visits are Washington DC, New York/Brooklyn, San Bernardino CA, San Diego, and Philadelphia.
In an article of over 400 words, Burdeau clearly could have included "and five other cities" in his paragraph that mentioned Baltimore. But he didn't. There's no good explanation for this failure other than a conscious effort to minimize the comprehensive nationwide significance of the O'Keefe's and Giles's work. It would appear that the AP would rather that as few readers as possible know that the intrepid pair have exposed and organization that from all appearances is corrupt to its very core, from sea to shining sea.

KARA's Kang Jiyoung is apparently a certified fan of modern rock band Nell!
On April 10th, the youngest KARA member wrote on Twitter, "Nell sunbae's album... has finally released! Yes!", and posted a photo of herself hanging outside a car window, enjoying the night air.
Jiyoung wrote the tweet shortly after Nell released their 5th full album 'Slip Away' on April 10th. The band last released an album back in 2008 and went into hiatus due to the members' mandatory military service. It seems as though Jiyoung has been patiently awaiting the comeback like any other Nell fan would.
Followers commented, "I'm also definitely going to take a listen to their album," "You're making me want to listen now," "I didn't know you were a fan of Nell," and "When is KARA releasing their album?"
Check out Nell's MV for their title song "The Day Before" here.

(Updates with Apple statement to Silicon Alley Insider)
Apple told Google in July that it would reject Google Voice app for the iPhone, the search giant contends in a letter to the FCC that was re-released Friday with portions that had been redacted now revealed.
The revelation calls into question the truthfulness of Apple's statement to the FCC that it had never rejected Google's app.
The rejection, Google contends, came in a discussion between its engineering VP Alan Eustace and Phil Schiller, Apple's VP of product marketing and a senior member of CEO Steve Jobs management team.
"On July 7, Mr. Eustace and Mr. Schiller spoke over the phone," Google wrote. "It was during this call that Mr. Schiller informed Mr. Eustace that Apple was rejecting the Google Voice application…."
In its own letter, Apple denied to the FCC that it rejected Google's apps, saying it was still reviewing them.
Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application, and continues to study it. The application has not been approved because, as submitted for review, it appears to alter the iPhone's distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone's core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail…
AT&T, for its part, said it had no hand in the rejection, but admitted it had an agreement with Apple that it should not help customers use VOIP services like Skype.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Silicon Alley Insider reports that Apple disputes Google's claim. "We do not agree with all of the statements made by Google in their FCC letter," SAI quoted an Apple spokesperson as saying. "Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application. and we continue to discuss it with Google."
It was Apple's seeming denial of Google Voice — and its sudden withdrawal from the iTunes store of previously-approved third-party apps store that leveraged Google's — led federal regulators to launch an inquiry into possible anti-competitive behavior on behalf of AT&T and Apple, according to documents made public today by the FCC..
Google's unredacted letter asserts that Schilling presided over high-level discussions with Google over the rejection of two Google-created iPhone apps, including Google Voice.
The previously redacted letter (.pdf) became completely public Friday after Google chose not to fight separate open government requests from Wired.com and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. That led the FCC to release on Friday the full text of its response to government regulators about Apple's controversial rejection of Google's Voice iPhone app.
In August, the FCC asked Google, Apple and AT&T to explain why Apple rejected the Google Voice app, which lets users make calls and send SMSes through a Google-provided number.
Apple's lucrative iPhone app marketplace is the only way for iPhone users to get applications onto their phones without voiding their warranty, but Apple's curation has been notoriously capricious — leading many to believe the company has been protecting its exclusive U.S. carrier AT&T from competition from the likes of Skype.
Google was the only one of the three companies to file a portion of its answer confidentially, using a section of FCC rules that lets businesses protect very sensitive documents from public disclosure, though the public can request that the veil be lifted via a Freedom of Information Act request.
Google told the FCC that the "internet service industry is highly competitive, and the redacted material relates to the business and operations of Google, warranting protection from disclosure under the Commission's Rules.
Wired.com filed just such a request, arguing that the rules said Google had to say in detail how the potential damage could be significant and that it failed to specify when the data would stop being sensitive. The EFF filed a similar request.
Google decided not to challenge the sunshine requests. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Surrey wrestler pins down his dream job
Sean Neligan has become a 'heel' in the ring 22 years after he first grew to love pro wrestling at Cloverdale Fairgrounds
Sean Neligan was five years old when his dad took him to his first wrestling show at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds in 1992. Since he could remember, he'd wanted to be a professional wrestler – and watching legendary wrestler Michelle Starr at a live show solidified that desire.
Starr (Surrey's Mark Vellios) would go on to coach Neligan as a wrestler when he was so fresh out of high school that his mom had to sign a release to allow him to train.
"You know when you're in kindergarten you have to paint what you want to be when you grow up?" asks Neligan, a 26-yearold Surrey native. "Other kids would paint Superman or a cop or a firefighter – I painted Hulk Hogan. So yeah, my entire life that's what I said I was going to do, but no one believed me."
Twenty-two years after Neligan's inaugural introduction to live wrestling, he's realized his dream of becoming Hulk Hogan – or at least pretty close to it. Performing as part of the Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) crew under as his alter-ego Sid Sylum, Neligan is a pro-wrestling "heel" who has collected as many fans as enemies. In the world of wrestling, there are good guys and bad guys; or, in their own lexicon, faces and heels. Sylum, irrefutably, is the latter.
"I'm a heel. It's much, much more fun," he says, being sure to add in that it's all an act.
By day, Neligan is the goodnatured uncle who babysits his one-year-old niece; it's only as Sid Sylum that people are rooting for him to get knocked on his ass.
"I'm just naturally better at being the bad guy. It's a lot more fun. I've been a good guy, and it's good when the fans are chanting your name when you come out, but I get the same rush from them booing me…. It's fun to be bad. You get to go out there and be a jerk. You get to be a cartoon-y villain, you know, the type that kicks a chair out before someone sits on it. You have to be not afraid to look like an idiot 'cause at the end of the day, people want to see the bad guy get beat and the good guy triumph. I get the same rush and the same feel out of losing a match and having them cheer as I do winning a match. You get the reaction."
For the most part, he says, people get that it's a facade – but at times, fans can forget that they're real people, too. Neligan says that's most highlighted during bouts like Fans Bring the Weapons matches, in which incredibly dangerous items get thrown into the ring.
"People bring some really weird stuff (to the FBTW matches). Like, someone brought a two-by-four with two-inch nails and so that's why we kind of screen stuff. I don't think people realize we're real people. It's a show, but when people get hit with that they're gonna die," he says earnestly. "I got hit with a SpongeBob piñata and it exploded with thumbtacks. When we did this in October, someone brought a car door and a painting of one of our wrestlers, Scotty Mac."
Instead of bashing the painting over someone's head, Mac admits to taking the painting home and hanging it in his garage. Among other weapons contributed to the matches are computer keyboards, ironing boards, crutches, baseball bats, trash cans and, in one instance, even a live lobster. These are the kinds of things the ECCW will accept into those matches, but they have to draw the line somewhere.
"Something like broken glass or nails, you can't really do anything with that without maiming or killing somebody," Neligan says.
The ECCW's next show, dubbed "Hello Ladies…", takes place in Surrey on Saturday, May 3, and celebrates the ECCW's 18th anniversary. Commemorating the organization's 18 years, head organizer Scotty Mac says the show will include a couple special features, starring WWE porn-star turned-wrestler Val Venis (where the "Hello Ladies…" tagline comes from) and a "Throwback Throwdown" match featuring former WWE wrestlers Ladies Choice and Buddy Wayne.
The show includes eight different types of wrestling matches, including a Seven-Man Gauntlet for the Gold, a War Games Style Elimination Cage Match and a Fans Bring the Weapons Match. Mac assures that the event, taking place at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds – the same place Neligan watched his first live wrestling show 22 years ago – is a family-friendly event. It could just be the event that spawns a new generation of Sid Sylums.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit ECCW. com.

2013 Nerdy Non-Fiction Reading Challenge
This challenge is hosted by Bookmark to Blog and runs from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. The rules are as follows:
Geek: 4-6 books in at least 2-3 different categories
Dork: 7-10 books in at least 4-5 different categories
Dweeb: 11- 14 books in at least 6-7 different categories
Nerd: 15+ books in at least 8+ different categories
* Health, Medicine, Fitness, Wellness
* History- US, World, European, etc
* Religion, Spirituality, Philosophy
* Technology, Engineering, Computers, etc
* Business, Finance, Management
* Sports, Adventure
* Food- Cookbooks, Cooks, Vegan Vegetarianism, etc
* Autobiography, Biography, Memoir
* Art, Photography, Architecture
* Music, Film, TV

* Crime, Law
* Poetry, Theatre
* Politics, Government, Current Affairs
* Literary Criticism/Theory
* Cultural Studies
* Travel
* Crafts
* It is not necessary to pick your categories ahead of time, but try not to read more than two books in each category so you can broaden your horizons.
I'll be participating at the Dweeb level (11-14 books) with my target being to read one nonfiction book per month. I'm challenging myself to read specific books that have been languishing on my TBR pile for longer than I'd care to think about. Those books are:
Packing for Mars: The Curious History of Life in the Void by Mary Roach
The Mental Floss History of the World: An Irreverent Romp Through History's Best Bits
Maphead by Ken Jennings
Eating for Autism by Elizabeth Strickland
Autism's False Prophets by Paul A. Offit
Millionaire Teacher: Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School by Andrew Hallam
I'm adding another level to my personal approach to the challenge- I have a ton of articles from my ABA classes waiting to be read, it's kind of sad. I'm challenging myself to read at least two articles per month from my backlist of articles.
This should be fun! I've been saying for a long time that I want to read more nonfiction for a long time and this challenge is the perfect way to go about it.

There was a stock SRT-4, 04 with the LSD up front and the factory free mods.. well it had a Mopar stage 2 kit from the factory, which is a factory retuned ECU and bigger injectors, that ran my friend in his TXS DP and GT spec header STi.Originally posted by FIL129
I don't think the STI has to worry about a SRT-4, the wrx might, but not the STI. I have a wrx and i know SRT-4 are hard to beat but i know the STI will have no problems with it off a role or launch. My friend has a STi and it can kill the SRT-4 with no problem. The SRT-4 is a good bang for the buck car just like the wrx but handling department on that car needs to be worked on.
The STi lost by 3 cars.

Commack Multiplex Cinemas
100 Long Island Expressway,
2 people favorited this theater
Showing 76 - 98 of 98 comments
Yes Bway I would agree, however, circumstances I can not go into here will not allow it. The new building, which will be an improved Cinema Delux, will be state of the art.
Vito, so they are actually going to tear the old theater down before they build the new one? It would seem to make more sense to build the new one in the parking lot, and then later tear down the old one when the new one is built. Although I guess that would cause parking problems.
I never liked working at this theatre. We had several complaints about an odor and the ripped carpeting and the kids that came out on Friday night (we use to call Friday night "fight night" and would place bets about when, where and who would fight). The odor has been a mystery, we tried everything from deodorizers, changing the air filters more frequently to keeping the AC on all night in certain theaters (worst ones) to keep air circulating. Nothing worked (temp at best). As for the remodel it has been put on hold for another year due to poor sales last year. It is scheduled to be a delux like the one in holtsville one day.
Bway, my sources tell me the details are not completly worked out, but the current plan is to tear down the exsisting theatre and then build a Cinema Delux, perhaps later this year or early next.
Very musty smell in here a lot of times.
IINM, NA is planning to build a new multiplex in the parking lot of the current one, and then tear the old building down.
I used to love going to this theater. I stopped going once National Amusements opened the new theater in Farmingdale during the mid 90s. The Farmingdale's auditoriums were so much better with the cup holders and better seats. I remember Commack had one or two auditoriums similar to Farmingdale's, they should have renovated more of their auditoriums to be like theirs.
I live about 3 minutes away from the Commack Multiplex but since I got my driver's license in 1991 I have only been there once. It's a pit. Now I drive 20 minutes to get to the Island 16 or sometimes Regal Ronkonkoma or Loews Stony Brook. If NA is going to tear it down and open another De Luxe, that would be a welcome change indeed.
I think i read build first take down 2nd
Will they fist build the new theater in the parking lot while continuing to operate the old building, or will they shut the theater down completely while construction takes place (which could be quite a while with the time of demolition to the end of new construction).
If it's anything like the Island 16 in Holtsville, it will be quite nice.
The architect for this theater, as well as Boston's Pi Alley, and almost if not all of the Sack Cinemas, and Sonny and Eddy's Cinemas, and many independently owned cinemas, was Burt W. Federman. His office was in Park Square and he designed or "twinned" literally thousands of cinemas in the New England area. By the 1980's, he designed many of the Showcase cinemas located in New England and the central atlantic states. He passed away in 1987. He had also developed a soundproofing system for cinemas which had been first used in a mutiplex he had designed in the Bronx.
Soon to be torn down to make room for a new mega plex like island 16
The projection room here, as with the Sunrise in Valley Stream, is extremely long and narrow. It is like being in a submarine. If at one end or the other, you cannot see the other end of the booth. It is that far away. Only one projectionist is on duty at a time. To get from one end to the other at both places, a projectionist has to use a two-wheel foot scooter to thread projectors, start shows, raise and lower volume, check focus, etc. It is insane…
The Commack Cinemas is not closed yet, unless you mean the Multiplex Cinemas in Brookhaven linked above.
If this theater is torn down, does anyone know what's going to happen to the neon signs in the lobby? I'd be willing to plunk down some cash for that "Rick's Cafe Americain" sign.
i HAVE SUBMITTED THE RKO COMMACK TWIN AS A NEW THEATER
The operation of this theatre has suffered in the past 8 years or so due to poor management and a facility in which cleanliness was not a priority. If money had been spent on the auditoriums, just to clean them up instead of the two remodels of the lobby and concession stands, this place would still have good numbers today. When I was there, this theatre was grossing over $150,000 a week and over $200,000 a week in the summer weeks. The concession was also huge topping over $50,000 a week in the summer with a concession payroll at below the 10% of the concession gross. If we only got commission then as they do now, there would be no excuae to have a theatre in this condition. Today it is the concession area and not the "movies" and their surroundings that are i9mportant to theatre owners. "It's a shame, you know" as one of National Amusements' district managers use to say.
Thanks for the info, longislandmovies. I always thought that the Multiplex ran it out of business. Do you know when it closed and what the last movie was?
I also remember seeing "Grease" and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" there.
Here's a photo of the Commack Cinemas' sister theater, the Brookhaven Multiplex, which now sits abandoned because NA replaced it with the Island 16 Cinema de Lux in Holtsville nearby.
Click on my October 4th Message in the Brookhaven's section linked below for a photo of the Brookhaven. Commack's building was almost identical, and had a similar history.
Great web site, I remember the RKO twin buit not the Mayfair.
It was actually both, lostmemory. You're thinking of the Commack RKO Twin and Drive-In Theater (right next to it). In fact, that was where my father took me to see "Star Wars" for the first time on a rainy Saturday afternoon. To say it blew my little six-year-old mind is an understatement. The funny thing was, I didn't want to see it because I thought it was a war movie— with soldiers and tanks and stuff like that. I still remember every detail about that day. I was watching "Super Friends" and after the movie, my Dad lost his keys at King Kullen.
Both the RKO Twin and the Drive-In shut down sometime in the mid-80's, a few years after the Commack Multiplex ran them out of business (and now THAT is rumored to be coming down as well). The buildings (and that of the Long Island Arena) stood vacant for well over a decade, until they were demolished and turned into a shopping center anchored by Target.
For pictures of the RKO Twin and Drive-In, check these out:
I opened this theatre as the first managing director. It opened in November of 1983. I left in 1985 and at the time this was the second largest grossing theatre in the country behind the Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas in Valley Stream.
There is rumors that this theatre is going to be closed and demolished in the next 6 months to make way for the new Cinema de Lux that National Amusements plans to build in it's parking lot

April 19th, 2012
Joyent has brought its cloud to Europe to meet demand from local companies, using a Dutch datacentre to cut latency on services previously provided by its US facilities.
The European expansion, launched on Thursday, comes after the San Francisco-based company closed a £54m round of funding to give it the resources to expand globally and take on cloud incumbent Amazon Web Services. Joyent also plans to open datacentres in Singapore and Tokyo to meet demand there, Steven Tuck, general manager of Joyent Cloud, told ZDNet UK.
"Our European public cloud will give European businesses customers the opportunity to deliver a higher-quality experience to their end users," Tuck said in a statement. "As they expand into Europe, [Joyent Cloud customers] want the same level of real-time computing performance as in the US to ensure that their European user base gets only the best."

I am having cravings for something really gooey and sweet. Anyone have a good recipe?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am having cravings for something really gooey and sweet. Anyone have a good recipe?
If you want something with no effort ..... open one cup of ready-made pudding and mix with equal amount of cool whip. Gives you kind of a faux mouse dessert.
Easy Peasy ... and if you want to use it for company, use a few cups and mix. Put into dessert dishes, and sprinkle some graham wafer or chocolate crumb on top.
And don't give them the recipe!!! :)
awesome. I love a no fuss recipee and I have all of the ingredients
Ooooh, glad I looked at this post. I love easy peasy recipes too. That's a good one for something real quick.
It's somewhat dangerously quick!! :)Originally Posted by luvstitches
And any flavours!!!!!!!
yea but when that urge hits its nice to have a plan
The bonus to me is the single portion ... if I had to make a pudding mix first, then add the cool whip, well, I'd probably eat it all!!!!!!! :)Originally Posted by JSNOMORE
oooooooooooooooo portion control...... and an easy yummy!! thanks..

Hands-on with Stealth, where you're a ninja quietly shanking bad dudes
Metal Gear. Tenchu. Assassin's Creed. Splinter Cell. These are all great examples of stealth action games, and Stealth reminds me a great deal of the first two titles. Stealth is top-down, slow-paced, your inventory can be quite limited, and to succeed you'll need to figure out the patterns of the patrols of the guards. Here's a sneaky early look.…
Hands-on with Duke Dashington, the smashing puzzle platformer wot wot
In Duke Dashington you attempt to guide the daring and handsome titular character through maze after maze of tricky platforming, using only dashes. It's reminiscent of the Wario Land platformers in a lot of ways. The constant dashing from area to area, the sense of comic peril, and the detailed pixel art all combine to hint at this being a port of some long-forgotten Game Boy classic. Here's what the game looks like in motion.…
EXCLUSIVE: World of Tanks Blitz on Android 'a few weeks away', cross-platform multiplayer details confirmed, new update now available
We get a lot of questions from our viewers here at AppSpy about World of Tanks Blitz, so I dropped Wargaming.net a message to see if they could answer some of the ones we hear most often. Though the developer is still cagey over how it will be expanding the multiplayer aspects of the game - clan support, for example, would be very welcome, but details were not forthcoming - it did confirm to me that cross-platform multiplayer with the Android version of the game is coming. Android gamers can expect to see World of Tanks Blitz on their device shortly: according to the representative from Wargaming.net I spoke with, "the Android version is a few weeks away". Personally I think this is great…

Dragon Quest I is coming to western mobiles this September, rest of the series to follow shortly
Let's not bury the lead here: Dragon Quest I is headed to English-speaking territories, and the other Dragon Quest games will join it soon after. In an interview with Siliconera, the producer of the Dragon Quest mobile series Noriyoshi Fujimoto stated that; "We are going to be releasing (in order) from Dragon Quest I, starting sometime in September, and then we'll be releasing subsequent games like Dragon Quest II and Dragon Quest III every month, maybe every two months" "In terms of pricing, it's still yet to be determined - but because these are classic games, the cost will probably be lower than Dragon Quest VIII and Dragon Quest IV" Fujimoto also went on to explain that these…
Transformers NES game returns as Q Transformers: Mystery of the Returned Convoy on iOS and Android
Hardcore Transformers fans will know that us lot here in the west missed out on a couple of NES / Famicom games based on the much-loved licence. The Transformers: Mystery of Convoy is one such game, and was, in truth, a slightly cynical cash-in that tried to bridge the gap between the events of two TV seasons - as the Transformers movie that fulfilled this role in the west was not shown in Japan for quite some time. The game follows Ultra Magnus as he attempts to find the killer of Autobot leader Optimus Prime, and has gone down in Transformers history as being completely apocryphal to the canon of the series. It's also known for being difficult. Really really really difficult. So lege…
First gameplay footage of Angry Birds Stella surfaces
The first gameplay footage of Angry Birds Stella has surfaced online. Rovio has been promoting this newest (and pinkest) addition to the Angry Birds family through US bookstore Barnes & Noble ahead of the game's release this Thursday. Handily for those of us stuck in the UK, a member of AngryBirdsNest was on hand to play through the first seven levels of Angry Birds Stella, and record the results on their phone. A quick glance at the video confirms that unlike the RPG-themed Angry Birds Epic, this game sticks far closer to the traditional swipe-and-fling Angry Birds formula. There are some differences, of course. Early levels are structured more like mazes, built…

10 mind-blowingly awesome fan-made Bad Piggies contraptions
Over the past few days, I've been on the hunt for the most spectacular, over-the-top, completely ridiculous video replays of Bad Piggies that I could find on Everyplay.

Unfortunately though, that's not the case... This combo allows you to flip the machine you've built and stick to the roof of caves. Ingenious! I literally can't begin to describe how awesome this video is. Just... honestly just hit play. This might be my personal favourite. These classic aircraft look cool, but they also fly be…
Bioshock Review
BioShock is great.

Leveling base cabinets
..Installing new cabinets this weekend, getting ready for the granite installers next week. I know that they need to be plumb and level, and that the face frames all need to line up to look good.
I have started setting my base cabinets in place, starting with the corner. Getting it all lined up sure is not as easy as I had hoped. I think it kind of odd, because ther were NO shims at all on the old cabinets I removed. (go figure)
So my questions are regarding getting the new cabinets all aligned and leveled.....
>Is it more important to get the face frames aligned? or the tops of the boxes? I have one box, where the face is perfectly lined up, but one of the box sides seems to be ~1/16" lower that it's adjacent box.
>How much 'tolerance' is there when leveling these cabinets? Even with precision machine work, there are acceptable tolerances that give you some working parameters. So, if I am within a 1/16" in a 3' run..... is that ok? I am working towards perfection, but how close is 'good enough' ?
>Will the granite installer be prepared to correct for small imperfections in the mounting surface? Do they shim up the granite, if needed?
Thanks again!!
i will be installing new cabs in a few weeks.
imo, the faces should be as perfect as possible. after all, that is what you SEE. if the tops are a little off, you could shave or shim what is needed.
my last granite install. the installers had shims to fill the little gaps. i think 1/16th is nothing to them.
My experience was similar to FixnIt. I built my own cabinets for my kitchen, and had a granite installer put in the top. I forced the cabinets to line up along the face by screwing the cabinets together through the face frame. That is how the old cabinets were done, seems pretty common. Of course the floor was out of level, so I shimmed the cabinets underneath as necessary to achieve level cabinets along the top. Even at that, the cabinets were not perfectly aligned along the top, but the granite installers put in shims as needed, and never said a word, it seems like this is standard. Maximum shim was about 1/4 inch for the granite. In the end, the granite top was perfectly level.
You start by finding the high spot in the floor and checking out any corners with the 3, 4, 5, method to see if they are square. And yeah, shim, shim, shim! The plastic ones that are non compressible are preferred to the wooden ones. And don't forget to shim from two directions, not just one. >< You want things fully supported on those little point loads. Then go back and add even more shims to be sure that it's better supported.
Shimming granite also creates point loads, which puts stress on your stone, cabinets, and floor. Sometimes, it's unavoidable, but if you have shims under your granite, and that aligns with an invisible internal fissure, then you can potentially have a crack. And it won't be the granite people's fault.

Help me!!
06 WRX only reading 5 and a half pounds of boost at full throttle on Accesport :( stage 1 tune, cat-back exhaust, greedy stage 2 clutch, act light weight flywheel, go fast bits hybrid bypass valve.
[color=gray]Sent from [url=http://www.autoguide.com/mobile]AutoGuide.com Free App[/url][/color]
its time for a boost leak test, check all the couplers and fittings/compression rings from your turbo to your intercooler and from your intercooler to your intake manifold. also check for split or broken vaccum hoses.
If you cant find anything out of the ordinary you can have it fogged, they hook up a machine that makes smoke and they pressurize your intake path, that way they can see where the leak is.
I can't seem to find anything out of the norm...do you know of any shops that fog the system?
[color=gray]Sent from [url=http://www.autoguide.com/mobile]AutoGuide.com Free App[/url][/color]
Many do, just use google as a tool to find one in your area or ask around on Facebook.
Ive got one but they're out here in SoCal, for a virginia driver i would just run a quick google search for Subaru Tuners / Import Tuners. Boost leak detection is kinda over the heads of most chain automotive places. It shouldnt cost you more than a hundred dollars to have them diagnose and repair the issue so long as the leak isnt coming from something major like an inter-cooler or a compressor.
Some folks make their own boost leak testers by putting a tire valve stem on a PVC cap, attaching it to their intake plumbing and pressurizing the system with a compressor set to low pressure. If your going the DIY route dont go to fast and dont go over your cars max boost pressure (14-18PSI). then its just a matter of using soapy water to find the leak. If you handle it yourself also make sure you pop the oil cap just to make sure you aren't pressurizing any oil systems.
Either way DIY or professional good luck finding that leak, Im crossing my fingers for you that its something silly like a cracked vaccum hose
Sounds like what happened to me a few months back. Everyone kept saying "boost leak test"over and over. As it turned out the C-clip on the wastegate actuator arm was missing and the arm had come completely off. Give it a look-see. It's right under your heat shield for the turbo.
