By Tenagne Mekonnen, ChildFund Africa Regional Communications Manager
Jumbe Sebunya, ChildFund's regional director for east and southern Africa, recently reflected on ChildFund's commitment to children's rights and the Day of the African Child, celebrated annually on June 16.
What are ChildFund's current strategies in Africa?
We currently work in 11 African countries, reaching a total of 8.5 million children and families. ChildFund focuses on engaging children, families and communities in an effort to improve outcomes for children both at the micro level within their immediate communities but also on a macro level, within their countries and regions. Thus, our approach is two-pronged: hands-on at the community level, and also at national and regional levels in terms of policy advocacy efforts on children's issues.
We have had good success with a number of our program strategies, such as ChildFund's work on early childhood development (ECD), which focuses on parent-child-community relationships that are central in creating a healthy beginning for a child. Through ECD programs, we are able to ensure that the first experiences of a child begin with an informed ECD caregiver and a supportive community. We have seen that such an environment has a lifelong impact on the children's development and success in life.
The Day of African Child is one of the main events celebrated in Africa. How is the event helping promote the rights of children in Africa?
The event should remind us all of our duty as citizens of Africa and its friends to promote the rights of the child on this continent. It does indeed commemorate children rising up against [South Africa's] apartheid government that was bent on denying children their equal rights to education, health, etc. In Africa today, there has been some progress achieved for children in education, gender equity, HIV and AIDS and other areas. However, with children making up a significant portion of our populations (in some countries more than 50 percent), governments, civil society organizations and other key development partners have to keep children's well-being and rights central to any and all sustainable development efforts on the continent.
How are you planning to celebrate the Day of the African Child, and what will that mean to the children you serve?
In Ethiopia, we are joining with the African Union Commission and others to organize a forum that will highlight African achievements and the plight of children in the continent. We are also bringing children from other countries where ChildFund works to share their stories and have their voices heard on issues affecting children in Africa. We are also participating in various events within countries in which we operate.
The theme this year is "Eliminating Harmful and Social Practices Against Children: Our Responsibility." What is ChildFund doing along these lines?
In almost all the countries where ChildFund operates, children experience some form of physical violence before the age of 8! This is unacceptable, and in a number of countries ChildFund works with children, families, local communities, as well as governments, to address harmful social practices as well as violence and exploitation against children.
What are your expectations as you join other organizations and the African Union to celebrate the Day of the African Child?
I have many expectations for the Day of the African Child, especially to urge all African citizens and governments in renewing our commitments: To significantly reduce the number of children that are subjected to sexual violence and abuse of any form; to reduce the number of children living outside family care; to end harmful social practices against children like early marriage and genital mutilation; to eliminate any form of child labor on the continent; and to support birth registration for all children without discrimination in Africa.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the African Union, ChildFund, Save the Children, Plan International and the African Child Policy Forum (ACPF) gathered last week to focus on the future of children across Africa. The meeting culminated with the drafting of an open letter to the chairperson of the African Union Commission, urging renewed support for the rights of children, who will become tomorrow's leaders. We wanted to also share that letter with you.
23 May 2013
Her Excellency, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma
Chairperson of the African Union Commission
As civil society organisations working to secure a better future for children in Africa, we would like to congratulate the OAU/AU on its 50th anniversary. We would particularly like to commend the great strides that have been made for children in Africa over the last 50 years, including improved primary school enrolment, impressive reductions in child mortality and increased access to essential maternal and child health services, and the establishment of mechanisms to protect and promote children's rights set forth in the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
However, despite this progress, much remains to be done to ensure every child grows up healthy, well-educated and able to enjoy the full rights to which they are entitled. Ensuring we maintain and increase the gains we have made for children will require political leadership, strengthening of institutions and targeted investment. It will take concerted effort from us all – governments, regional bodies, business, international partners and the civil society.
We believe the 50th anniversary of the AU and the 21st Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union represent important opportunities to place children at the centre of Africa's vision for the next 50 years, through reflecting their needs and interests in the African Common Position on Post-2015 Development Agenda.
We urge Your Excellency to use your Chairmanship to encourage and influence African Governments to:
1. Meet the commitments they have made to children under the regional and international child rights instruments and relevant declarations such as the Dakar Declaration and the Abuja target to allocate 9% of their GDP to education and 15% of their national budgets to health, respectively.
2. Address with the same commitment and vigour the issues of violence and exploitation against children, with clear and measurable targets for protection.
3. Honour their reporting obligations as Member States to the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child
Investing in children and putting their rights and best interests at the centre of Africa's development will not only help ensure that every child grows up to meet their full potential, but it is also a viable economic strategy to drive and accelerate Africa's economic growth.
Today, Africa's prospects are bright with booming economies, a burgeoning middle class and a youthful population. It is now feasible to imagine that in the coming decades no child in Africa will die from preventable causes, every child will go to school and learn, every child will have adequate protection from violence and exploitation and we will break the intergenerational poverty from the continent.
The African Union has demonstrated its commitment to children on many occasions. Under your leadership, we remain committed to working with you and the African Union Commission to ensure that children are at the heart of Africa's renaissance.

By Tenagne Mekonnen, ChildFund Africa Regional Communications Manager
The 50th anniversary of the Organization of Africa Unity is being celebrated this week in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia.
The official anniversary on May 25 marks a significant milestone in the journey of Africans since the OAU charter was signed in 1963 by representatives of 32 governments. The aim was to promote the unity and solidarity of the African states and achieve a better life for Africa's people. South Africa became the 53rd member in 1994, and in 2002, the OAU's successor, the African Union, was formed.
Anniversary celebrations will draw on African narratives of the past and present, while looking to the future. The anniversary is expected to motivate and energize denizens across the African continent to accelerate a forward-looking Pan-African agenda and a 21st-century renaissance.
Against this historical backdrop, ChildFund International's Africa regional office, Save the Children, Plan International and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Children are staging a one-day conference to shine the spotlight on Africa's children.
Today's event, "Children's Rights in Africa 50 Years of the OAU/AU" reflects on challenges and progress during the past five decades, while seeking even greater protection and promotion of children's rights by leaders across Africa in the future.
By Isam Ghanim, ChildFund Executive Vice President, Programs
As ChildFund prepares to celebrate the Day of the African Child on June 16, we recognize the sacrifice of the children who lost their lives in the uprising in Soweto, South Africa, in 1976. On that day, 10,000 students marched in protest of South Africa's requirement that children be educated in English and Afrikaans rather than their native languages. Hundreds died and thousands were injured as security forces charged the peaceful demonstrators.
The Day of the African Child reminds us of a child's right to use their voice to express aspirations, concerns and perspectives about their current situation and the future.
ChildFund applauds the African Union's continued attention to children and encourage all governments and development circles to put children at the center of their policy and practice. Africa has made excellent strides to support the well-being of children, but significant effort is needed to sustain the gains and fill the gaps in access to health assistance, education and protection of children.
For more than 70 years, ChildFund has focused on the well-being of children. In cooperation with the ChildFund Alliance, we work in 59 countries and have succeeded in mobilizing billions of dollars in programs to support children. We see the celebration of the Day of the African Child as a chance to continue that support.
In collaboration with our partners and the African Union, ChildFund is bringing children from Angola, Kenya, The Gambia and Ethiopia to participate in events taking place June 14-16 in Addis Ababa. These children represent the millions of children and families in 11 countries receiving support from ChildFund in Africa. Their participation fills us with joy and reminds us of our responsibility to all children.
The theme of this year's Day of the African Child—"The Rights of Children with Disabilities: The Duty to Protect, Respect, Promote and Fulfill"—is also an important focus for ChildFund. We have worked hard for many years to support environments conducive for children with disabilities. Our goal is to assist in all children's healthy transition from infancy to childhood and beyond. ChildFund believes that being disabled cannot and shall not be a barrier to success in life, and we are committed to promoting, respecting and protecting children's rights across Africa and the world at large.

I'm looking to possible lift it alittle and add some wheels and tires. Any recommendations on the lift height or tire sizes with say a 6 inch lift? Will the 6.0L with those gears be able to push larger tires with a lift? I'm just looking for a proportionate look without modifying any of the drivetrain. Any ideas? I also have the gm running boards, so I'm going to need some mud flaps... any ideas of a company that provides a durable and nice looking mud flap? Any thoughts on upgrading from the standard mirrors to the towing mirrors with built in blinkers? Thanks

Listers, Opus Dei Father C.J. McCloskey, a Church historian and research fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute in Washington, referred to Robert Spencer as "perhaps the foremost Catholic expert on Islam in our country."1 According to his website, Jihad Watch, "Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and the author of twelve books, including two New York Times bestsellers, The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) (both Regnery). His latest books are Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry Into Islam's Obscure Origins (ISI) and Not Peace But A Sword: The Great Chasm Between Christianity and Islam (Catholic Answers)."
"Spencer has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the U.S. intelligence community."2 Jihad Watch - a site from which SPL often shares otherwise unreported accounts of Islamic terrorism - answers the question Why Jihad Watch? by stating, "Because non-Muslims in the West, as well as in India, China, Russia, and the world over, are facing a concerted effort by Islamic jihadists, the motives and goals of whom are largely ignored by the Western media, to destroy their societies and impose Islamic law upon them — and to commit violence to that end even while their overall goal remains out of reach. That effort goes under the general rubric of jihad."3 Robert Spencer is also available on Twitter at the handle @JihadWatchRS.4
1. Not Peace but a Sword: The Great Chasm between Christianity and Islam
Islam…Is it a religion of peace?…Are Muslims an easy ally in the fight against global secularization and the culture of death?…Are their beliefs really so different than our own? Some Christians view Islam as a sister religion, a branch of the same Abrahamic tree—lacking the fullness of revelation but nonetheless a religion of peace. Others are more critical of Islamic teachings but still see Muslims as valuable partners in the global fight against secularization and the Culture of Death.
In Not Peace but a Sword, Robert Spencer argues they're both wrong—and warns Christians against the danger of thinking that Islam is an easy ally. Many Christian groups, including the Catholic Church, do recognize whatever is good and true in Islam, and their leaders rightly pursue peaceful accord and common ground with all religions. Spencer argues, however, that real peace can come only from truth. Where there is falsehood in Islamic doctrine, morals, and practice, papering over the truth actually hurts the cause of peace.
And so Spencer, the New York Times best-selling author of more than a dozen books dealing with Islam and the West, shines the light of truth on areas where Christians and Muslims don't just quibble over small details but fundamentally disagree, including:
- The character of God, Jesus, and divine revelation
- The nature of truth and the source of moral law
- Religious freedom and other basic human rights
- Life issues, marriage, and sexual morality
The rights and dignity of women
He demonstrates how these differences are not academic but real-world. They are critical and drive Muslim behavior toward Christians and others. If we fail to open our eyes to these differences, we do so at our peril. He demonstrates how these differences are not academic but real-world. They are critical and drive Muslim behavior toward Christians and others. If we fail to open our eyes to these differences, we do so at our peril.
"Robert Spencer is a careful observer of Islam and a courageous voice on behalf of Christians. In Not Peace But a Sword he shows us how to take Islam seriously without falling into alarmism, hatred, or bigotry, and provides a needed corrective to media disinformation." - Scott Hahn, Fr. Scanlan Chair of Biblical Theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville
"A great many Catholics know only a Disney-fied version of Islam, and still cling to the dangerous illusion that Muslims and Christians share much in common. But as Robert Spencer ably demonstrates, beneath the surface similarities lies a deep and possibly unbridgeable gulf. This is must reading not only for Catholics but for all Christians." - William Kilpatrick, author of Christianity, Islam, and Atheism: The Struggle for the Soul of the West
Robert Spencer carefully examines the challenge posed to Christianity by an increasingly militant Islam. His case is calm, lucid, accurate, and uncompromising in its presentation of the facts of history. He provides an honest and unflinching account of the roots of Christian/Muslim tensions, a robust defense of Jesus Christ and Christianity in response to Muslim claims, and a sobering wake-up call to all Christians. - Patrick Madrid, author of Envoy for Christ: 25 Years as a Catholic Apologist and host of the Right Here, Right Now radio show
2._ Did Muhammad Exist?: An Inquiry into Islam's Obscure Origins_
Are jihadists dying for a fiction? Everything you thought you knew about Islam is about to change. Did Muhammad exist? It is a question that few have thought—or dared—to ask. Virtually everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, takes for granted that the prophet of Islam lived and led in seventh-century Arabia. But this widely accepted story begins to crumble on close examination, as Robert Spencer shows in his eye-opening new book.
In his blockbuster bestseller The Truth about Muhammad, Spencer revealed the shocking contents of the earliest Islamic biographical material about the prophet of Islam. Now, in Did Muhammad Exist?, he uncovers that material's surprisingly shaky historical foundations. Spencer meticulously examines historical records, archaeological findings, and pioneering new scholarship to reconstruct what we can know about Muhammad, the Qur'an, and the early days of Islam. The evidence he presents challenges the most fundamental assumptions about Islam's origins.
Did Muhammad Exist? reveals:
- How the earliest biographical material about Muhammad dates from at least 125 years after his reported death
- How six decades passed before the Arabian conquerors—or the people they conquered—even mentioned Muhammad, the Qur'an, or Islam
- The startling evidence that the Qur'an was constructed from existing materials—including pre-Islamic Christian texts
- How even Muslim scholars acknowledge that countless reports of Muhammad's deeds were fabricated
- Why a famous mosque inscription may refer not to Muhammad but, astonishingly, to Jesus
- How the oldest records referring to a man named Muhammad bear little resemblance to the now-standard Islamic account of the life of the prophet
The many indications that Arabian leaders fashioned Islam for political reasons
Far from an anti-Islamic polemic, Did Muhammad Exist? is a sober but unflinching look at the origins of one of the world's major religions. While Judaism and Christianity have been subjected to searching historical criticism for more than two centuries, Islam has never received the same treatment on any significant scale. The real story of Muhammad and early Islam has long remained in the shadows. Robert Spencer brings it into the light at long last.
"[Spencer] has engaged in concerted detective work of a scholarly nature. His book is no polemic. It is a serious quest for facts… . Well-written and moves right along." — Washington Times
"Robert Spencer has displayed brilliant scholarship and fierce courage in his previous books. In this one he perseveres and confronts with deep erudition the most topical problem of our century." — Bat Ye'or, author of The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam
3. Inside Islam: A Guide for Catholics: 100 Questions and Answers
Inside Islam: A Guide for Catholics utilizes a popular question-and-answer format so that all Catholics – both the theological novice and the well-catechized – can learn the basics of Islam. Co-authors Robert Spencer and Daniel Ali, a convert from Islam, give you a solid understanding of Islam's unique teachings including:
- The Islamic view of God
- The role of Jesus in Islamic theology
- Islam's controversial theology of jihad, or "holy war"
- Why Islam's strong beliefs are so attractive to secularized Western societies
- The role of women in Islam
Inside Islam is an essential resource for anyone who wants to know more about this historic religion from the Middle East. After reading this book, you will have a better understanding of the issues discussed every day in the news.5
4. The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran
The Koran: It may be the most controversial book in the world. Some see it as a paean to peace, others call it a violent mandate for worldwide Islamic supremacy. How can one book lead to such dramatically different conclusions? New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer reveals the truth in The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran: not many Westerners know what's in the Koran, since so few have actually read it — even among the legions of politicians, diplomats, analysts, and editorial writers who vehemently insist that the Koran preaches tolerance.
Now, Spencer unveils the mysteries lying behind this powerful book, guiding readers through the controversies surrounding the Koran's origins and its most contentious passages. Stripping out the obsolete debates, Spencer focuses on the Koran's decrees toward Jews, Christians, and other Infidels, explaining how they were viewed in Muhammad's time, what they've supposedly done wrong, and most important, what the Koran has in store for them.
"Meticulous, comprehensive, indispensable. `I read the Koran so you don't have to,' Spencer writes—but even for those of us who have read the Koran, this is a richly illuminating work." - Bruce Bawer, author of Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom and While Europe Slept
"Governing officials and media spokesmen may ignore Spencer's warnings, but they do so at their own risk, because Islamic jihadists are not ignoring what's in the Koran, and are working to destroy our freedoms in obedience to Koranic dictates. In illuminating for Westerners exactly what the Koran teaches, Spencer has performed a valuable service in the defense of Western civilization against the Islamic jihad." - Geert Wilders, Member of Parliament and Chairman of the Party for Freedom (PVV), the Netherlands
"Unlike most of today's self-styled experts, Robert Spencer won't tell you
slay the idolaters wherever you find them' really meanslove your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you.' In The Complete Infidel's Guide to the
Koran, Spencer shows once again that he is America's most informed, fearless,
and compelling voice on modern jihadism, insisting that we come to grips with
the words behind the ideology that fuels international terror." - Andrew
C. McCarthy, senior fellow at the National Review Institute and author of Willful
Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad
5. Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs
Does America face a jihadist threat that's even bigger than terrorism?
While our homeland security efforts are focused on preventing terrorist attacks, another jihadist threat is growing right here in America—in plain sight.
In Stealth Jihad, Islam expert and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer blows the whistle on a long-term plot by Islamic jihadists to undermine the United States. This effort aims not to bring America to its knees through attacks with guns or bombs, but to subvert the country from within—by gradually Islamizing America. The ultimate goal, the stealth jihadists themselves declare, is nothing less than the adoption of Islamic law in the United States.
Describing the disturbing ease with which stealth jihadists have already become ensconced in the American political and media landscapes, Spencer exposes the full modus operandi of the movement as revealed in a stunning document unveiled in a recent terrorism funding trial. In this unsettling book, he explains:
- Which Islamic fundamentalist organization is behind the stealth jihad
- How stealth jihadists have reinvented themselves as mainstream civil rights activists—despite their many past declarations of Islamic supremacism
- How stealth jihadists played a key role in formulating U.S. government guidelines for the War on Terror
- How insistence on "accommodating" Islamic cultural and religious practices in America is part of a calculated strategy to achieve a dangerous larger agenda
- The effort by stealth jihadists to whitewash the teaching of Islam in schools
What can be done to defeat the stealth jihad and preserve America's liberty
America, Spencer demonstrates, is all but oblivious to a new kind of threat presented by a loosely organized movement whose activists are well funded, highly motivated, and relentless in pursuit of their agenda. This book is a wake-up call for a country so focused on foreign threats that it has left itself vulnerable to a growing danger much closer to home.
6. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)
_Back Cover_: Everything (well, almost everything) you know about Islam and the Crusades is wrong because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academics and Islamic apologists who justify their contemporary political agendas with contrived historical "facts." But fear not: Robert Spencer (author of the bestseller Islam Unveiled) refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). Spencer reveals facts that you won't be taught in school and will never hear on the evening news, supplies a revealing list of "Books You Must Not Read" (as far as the PC left is concerned), and takes you on a fast-paced politically incorrect tour of Islamic teaching and Crusades history that will give you all the information you need to understand the true nature of the global conflict America faces today.
"A clarion call for the defense of the West before it is too late." - Ibn Warraq, author
"A much-needed antidote to the poisonous propaganda that compromises our current battle against jihadist murder." - Bruce Thornton, historian
"An enormous amount of well-researched material. Throws the ball back into the camp of Arabist historians." - Walid Phares, terror analyst
"Assails, with much erudition, the taboos imposed by the Politically Correct League." - Bat Ye'or, historian
"The courageous Robert Spencer busts myths and tells truths about jihadists that no one else will tell." - Michelle Malkin, bestselling author and columnist

A Caution: On his Twitter account, Robert Spencer tends to retweet some of the vulgarities Muslims tweet at him and retweet many of their threats. While the purpose is most probably to reveal what is being said to him, it can make for a very brutal or vulgar statement appearing in your Twitter feed. ↩

Go East, Young Man

I fly across the Atlantic in just a few short hours, and expect to return in 11 days with no shortage of stories, photographs, and completely unnecessary souvenirs. Here we go!

Wapping Woodswritten by neja on 2011-03-18 #places
Wapping was originally a Saxon settlement. This area was known as a marshland until the 16th century when it was drained. It then became a rich meadow and garden ground until it was acquired for the London Docks. By 1969, the docks at Wapping were empty. Trees were planted and it was optimistically called Wapping Woods. However, the trees could not survive and the result is the small park we have today.10 Share Tweet

Station 55 probationary Fire Fighter Trinity Brown was awarded the prestigious Milan "Spike" Baran Toms River Fire Academy Leadership Award at the Academy's graduation held on Monday evening, January 7. Trinity was selected from amongst his 14 other classmates in the Fire Fighter I training program. Candidates are put to the test both physically and mentally as they learn the elements of safe and effective fire fighting techniques and technical subject awareness. Candidates must satisfactorily complete a written and practical examination in order to graduate. It is a requirement that all fire fighters attain their level I state certification within one year of joining the department.
Trinity was chosen from candidates from several other departments including Toms River and Jackson. The award is given to the person that demonstrates the best leadership and high scores on quizzes, tests and the practical exam. The award is named in honor of one of the now deceased founders of the Academy who was instrumental in its development.
"We are extremely proud of probationary Fire Fighter Brown and his accomplishment" stated Chief Mike Waters. "He is off to an exceptional start and is a strong role model for our members — especially those that are newer to the department."

Arsenal will face Wigan Athletic in the semi-finals of the FA Cup as they bid to end their nine-year wait for silverware, while Hull City will play Sheffield United in the other match at Wembley.
The Gunners' most recent trophy came in 2005 when they defeated Manchester United on penalties at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium to lift the FA Cup and they booked their place in the last four after thrashing Everton 4-1 on Saturday.
Hull earned their place at Wembley with a 3-0 victory over Sunderland on Sunday to line up an all-Yorkshire clash against League One side Sheffield United.
In beating Charlton 2-0, the Blades became the first club from the third tier to reach the semi-finals of the competition since Wycombe in 2001.
United's manager Nigel Clough was a losing finalist at Wembley in the 1991 FA Cup final as a player with Nottingham Forest and he will be aiming to take his side all the way to the final, with a Yorkshire team now guaranteed a place.

It is tradition based upon manners and common decency that at the end of candidate debates or forums that each candidate will shake one another's hand as a show of good sport.
Apparently, Democrat candidate for Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam missed that memo.
Not to worry, GOP LG candidate E.W. Jackson extended his hand to Northam in such a gesture, so you would expect it to be reciprocated.
So, Jackson extended his hand EVEN FURTHER, practically into Northam's hand.
Still nothing.
Finally, Jackson just gives up.
Why wouldn't Northam shake Jackson's hand?
Is Northam oblivious, clueless or racist?
Why wouldn't Northam shake the hand of a black man?

No or Little Signal?
I've been having that lately but that is because I moved to an area that my phone doesn't expect me to be. This can always be a problem when it comes to having a MVNO like Straight Talk But lately with my HTC Inspire I've been having problems with the signal strength due to my location. I have searched long and high and thou I've been look around at the Signal Boosters that I could use on my phone. You could even try zBoost YX545 SOHO Dual-Band Cell Phone Signal Booster but I've yet to find out if it would help.
Called Straight Talk!
I did call Straight Talk to see what we could try to improve my cell phone signal. They suggested two options, changing my ZIP code of where I am, but I have yet to see much of a difference! I think I might have to do option two, but that would mean I've need to get a new number. I really don't care about that because I give out my Google Voice number so it isn't a big deal on my part. It isn't a big process to change the number but my family likes to use my actual number to get a hold of me. They think the Google Voice number is too troublesome for them! So if I change my number my family would have to get used to the new number!
I've look around!
I've check on the Google Marketplace to find anything that would help increase my cellular signal but have yet to find. Some of the ones that look promising are:
- Opensignalmaps — The ultimate wifi and signal finding tool. Supports GSM, CDMA, 4G, 3G, 2G. Now you can refresh network! Boost your bars at the touch of a button.
- Network signal speed booster — Network Speed Booster gives you better signal by connecting you to the best available cell site tower around you!
- Signal Finder —App showing where the nearest towers are for the best cell phone reception. This application provides the opportunity never to lose reception, showing where the nearest towers are for the best cell phone reception available as well as the strength the towers have at that location.
- Signal Booster Pro — Signal Booster Pro uses sophisticated technologies to dynamically assign your phone to the closest, or highest signal cell tower in your area!
These are just a few apps that look promising but I am quite certain that it will reduce my battery life to half unless I am constantly plugged in all the time. So I am going to ask others if there is something else I could do to improve my Cell Signal strength? If you know, you can contact me or leave a comment. I'd love to hear your opinions on how to increase signal strength and how you did it.

critique request - 13month WGSL female
Wondering if this stack is good enough for a critique, it's really hard to get it perfect O:
the wind was blowing and messed up her hair in some places
I'm by no means an expert with GSD conformation, but I'll give my honest opinion.
I like her topline. It's not extreme, but it has that "elegant" slope that I like in WGSL.
Her pigment is nice; has a lot of red.
She's very beautiful. :)
You can tell she is young because her head looks a bit too big for her body. The angle of the photo doesn't help. :)
Flat withers, good topline, good placement of a croup that should be longer. Good underline. Very good angulation front and rear, but the way her front leg is set under her I am guessing she probably lifts in front when she moves. She could use a bit more leg. Good pasterns and feet. Excellent secondary sex characteristics with a nice rich color.
Just going to say very pretty puppy!

Thank you for the comments and critique!!!
I also think her head looks too big sometimes ;) I don't have any movement pics unfortunately, they always come out blurry because this pic is from my phone, my phone doesnt capture motion very well O:
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
She looks very nice. One of the nicest coaties on the site IMO. I see she still has that wavy/curly hair on her rump like Lisl had. She has since lost that fur, but at the time it sure messed up her top line.
already have a critique above just figured I'd put an updated pic on here :) too bad she has her front right paw turned out a bit andddd she turned her head at the last second. So hard to take these by myself!
I am getting a new camera probably next week so some more pics shall follow :)
(also Neko is trying to convince me to bring Lara to the Sieger show in a few months) :P
it's been 2 months and she's probably (and shockingly) gained 5 lbs since that last picture, she filled out a little more
Also @MichaelE, that curly rump hair is starting to leave too!

1995 Chevy Z71 Project
What I have is a project I started about 5 years ago and just never finished. Since I started, I have graduated from school, got a house, got a wife and got a ton of bills. On top of that, I have pretty much lost interest in building the rig. Plus, I live approximetly 70 miles from where the truck is located, so getting time to work on it is tough.
Basic Info:
As you can see, it's a 95 chevy 1500 z71 1/2 ton short bed truck with a 350. The truck has around 100K miles (can get an exact number later) and ran great when it was parked. The 4l60E had a fresh rebuild with about 200 miles on it when I began the work about 2 years ago. Since then, the truck has gone approximetly 1 year without running at all For the last two years, the truck has been on jackstands. The ORU straight axle kit is installed and springs hung. The exhaust has been removed (but still have it) from the manifold to make room for the new driveshaft. The ABS computer has been removed and a Wildwood proportining valve has been put in its place.
Goodies that come with the truck:
Rear shackle flip with zero rates to correct the offset (all grade 8 hardware used)
Full Floating 14 Bolt with 5.13's and a detroit locker (not installed, but the gears are basically brand new, locker is not)
Disc brake conversion with caddy calipers
ORU straight axle conversion brackets up front with a set of springs (all grade 8 hardware used)
Steering pump has been drilled and taped for hydro assist
79 HP Dana 60 (has never been installed on this truck)
5.13 gears and a loc rite installed (but not broken in)
Warn 35 Spline locking hubs
Yukon 35 spline outers
1 new 35 spline inner shaft (from Alloy USA I think)
Solid Axleworks diff. cover
Disk brake kit to allow for 15 inch wheel
All the necessary parts (TYE's, crossover allams, tubing) to setup crossover steering
2 new TSL sx's - 38.3x14.5x15
2 1/2 tread TSL SX's - 38.5x14.5x15
4 Eaton 32 bolt beadlocks
I'm sure there are some things I am forgetting, as I haven't really messed with the truck in the last 6-8 months. I have pretty much lost interest and my loss is your gain. The truck does not have a front axle on it, so moving it will need some creativity. If you would like, you pay a portion and pick up the axle, put everything toghether and then mount it to the truck later to make loading it up easier.
Here are some pictures:
Not looking to part this thing out, want to just sell it all at once. Starting price is $3500 OBO. PM me here or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions. The truck is located in Lawrenceville, GA and the 60 is located in Acworth, GA.

Hot TV Spot: 'Iron Man 3'

I say Ben Kingsley blinks only a maximum of 10 times from the beginning to the end of this. That makes twice as many blinks as his annual movie average. He airs from the Michael Caine school of acting and has learned well the demands of the closeup. In fact, the no blinking school when supported by good makeup and costume can accommodate a very wide variety of roles. Hypnosis afterall is the essence of film.
What an absurd comment, go to your corner please and stop.
Did buddhabob not dumb it down enough for you? Is that why you're so pissy?
That clip kind of falls under the should have been a surprise moment in the theater, spoilery territory.
Spoiler teaser. Watch this at your own risk! The Deadline Team has failed to warn us.
Marvel definitely didn't need to reveal that… Especially this early in the campaign… It smacks of desperation and this movie is obviously going to make bank so WTF!

The Days of Mohammed: A Biography
€ 14,99
Sofort lieferbar
Januar 2006
BeschreibungIn "The Days of Mohammed," one aim of the author has been to bring out the fact that it is possible to begin the heaven-life on earth. It is hoped that a few helpful thoughts as to the means of attaining this life may be exemplified in the career of the various characters depicted.
An attempt has been made, by constant reference to the best works on Mohammed and Arabia, to render the historical basis strictly correct. Especial indebtedness is acknowledged to the writings of Irving, Burton, and the Rev. Geo. Bush; also to the travels of Burckhardt, Joseph Pitts, Ludovico Bartema and Giovanni Finati, each of whom undertook a pilgrimage to the cities of Medina and Mecca; also to the excellent synopsis of the life and times of Mohammed as given by Prof. Max Müller in the introduction to Palmer's translation of the Koran.

Pablove Benefit Concert
6:30 p.m.
1034 N. 4th St., Milwaukee, WI, 53203
Since losing his son Pablo to a Wilms' tumor, Milwaukee native Jeff Castelaz has used his Pablove Foundation to increase awareness about childhood cancer and raise money for Children's Hospital Los Angeles, where Pablo underwent treatment. A one-time staple of the Milwaukee music scene who managed the city's most successful acts from the '90s, including The Gufs, Citizen King and The Promise Ring, Castelaz assembles a litany of big names from the Milwaukee music scene (both past and present) for his annual Pablove benefit shows at Turner Hall Ballroom. Past years have seen reunions from bands like Pet Engine and Northern Room; this year's bill will include a trio of reunited punk acts: Alligator Gun, The Benjamins and Subside. Those blasts from the past will be joined by two current local mainstays: Vic & Gab and Field Report's Chris Porterfield.

<title>1 USD = CAD (1.124512)</title>
* * *
so. what is returned from getCurrency("CAD") ?
I don't see anything glaringly wrong with the function. Nothing obvious anyways.
debugging tip: inject little debugging one-liner commands into your script and echo out variables to see what their values are.
for instance, echo out "objItem.childNodes( 0 ).text" and see if it is what you expect.
Then echo out "Mid( objItem.childNodes( 0 ).text, 1, 11 )". Take the code in little chunks and verify that it's doing everything right from top to bottom.
It may be something as simple as a bad boundary limit in the Mid() or Left() string functions.
Also, you may consider using a regular expression to extract the data instead of awkwardly nested substring functions.
sBasePrice = "USD"
objXML.Load( "http://currencysource.com/RSS/" & sBasePrice & ".xml" )
thus the URL being requested is actually
really I think the problem is something subtle in the way the data is being parsed. Or maybe it's a syntax error somewhere? I don't have the right machinery running to try your code sample out myself, and I'm very rusty on my VBScript syntax.
Debugging is a tough job, and it's a skill that takes practice. Start by "tracing [en.wikipedia.org]" values to see what they are during the execution of the code. Fixing this function should take a few minutes, not several days.
Tracing is probably the most important debugging technique you must learn, and it's much simpler than, say, bug discovery by systematic amputation, or dissecting the call stack.
The key here is to learn some debugging techniques so you can find out what the problem is. I'm guessing that once you figure out the problem, the solution will be immediately obvious.

The last two decades increasingly have challenged the field of management by confronting it with rapidly growing levels of dynamism, inter-connectedness, and complexity. Systems-based management approaches, their promise already proven, offer great potentials for influencing and coping with this development. This collection of essays offers ideas and exemplary case studies from experts in systemic management, organiza-tional cybernetics, and system dynamics for meeting the challenges in so-cio-economic systems. This book was compiled to honor the academic achievement of Markus Schwaninger, a leading protagonist in developing the field of systemic management and organizational cybernetics. His stature in the field is demonstrated in the forewords by Raul Espejo and John Sterman. The efforts of 18 researchers and practitioners, all closely related to Markus Schwaninger, offer conceptual and empirical approaches that will allow managers and advanced students of the management profession to analyze, understand, and design intelligent organizations. The book weaves its content from both theory and practice and offers hints for improving a variety of organizations, both private and public, profit and non-profit, and large and small.

Well last night was not fun at all! Mommy had to take me to the emergency hospital last night! Mommy can't figure out what happened but when she was going to bed last night around 2am she noticed my eye was really, really, REALLY swollen. So much so that you could only see the pupil of my eye. Mommy thinks I might have been wrestling with Alex. Mommy has never seen anything like this she said and she called the Kitty ER to see if they thought I should come in. They said most definitely so in the carrier I went. Thank goodness the shelter from Conneticut sent Mommy her new carrier just 3 days ago. (They lost hers when she sent it along on a trnasport.) I was the very first one to poop in it. Hey, you never know what can happen when a guy gets nervous. Those car rides are stressful. To add the cherry to the cake, it was snowing lots and lots and lots. There was 6 inches on the ground so far and the plow trucks didn't plow any of the roads yet so Mommy had to drive real slow. Dr. Smith said that my eyelids are too swollen to do any real tests and tell what is wrong so he gave me eye medicine and medicine to put in my mouth. Mommy says it will make all the swelling go down so that my regular vet can look in my eye in a day or two and see if it is scratched. Mommy says thank God for small miracles because since her and Daddy lost their jobs, things have been really tough with money and my whole visit including seeing the vet, a shot of sub Q anti-biotic, a tube of eye goo, and three syringes of anti-biotic for Mommy to give me, the whole thing only cost $146. She thinks that was pretty good considering it is an emergency clinic. So we got home around 4:30am and Mommy and Daddy crashed in bed. I am fine in every other way. Mommy says the whole eye thing probably bothers her a lot more than it does me. :) Well I am off to nap in a sun beam. I had a late night you know! ;)

4) I don't associate with the other cats in my house unless it is to chase and hiss at my big sister.
5) I love fresh water and I will stand at a water dish and meow until Mommy comes and changes the water and gives me fresh water. (I especially love icecubes in my dish!!!)
6) I lived outside for 3 years, but since Mommy took me in 8 months ago I have only tried to get out once.

Groovy Art! Enrique Montserrat's "The Look of Love!" - My Love #12 (July 1971)
Hey! How's your week going? Today I have for you one of the most delightfully illustrated romance tales of the '70s Marvel books, "The Look of Love!" from My Love #12 (July 1971). Don't get me wrong, the usual Buscema, Heck, Colan, etc. stories are great, but this one is outta sight! Definitely along the lines of Steranko's "My Heart Broke in Hollywood" on the uniqueness front.
I came across this story when I was browsing some original art and saw the original cover page (above). Previously, I wasn't quite sure who was responsible for the cover, but as it turns out it is from the hands of none other than John Romita, Sr. Notice the bottom of the page is signed by him and reads, "Done in the French romance style." Though the art on the story itself is very similar to the cover, the interior is actually by a Catalan artist named Enrique Montserrat (whose surname appears to be misspelled on the splash page). I own a copy of the book, but since mine is a CGC copy, Nick Caputo was kind enough to help me out with scans so that I could share the story with you!
Let's begin! Derek is a fashion designer, and a good one at that. Jill is one lucky lady -- she is showered not only by Derek's affection, but by his fashionable separates!
Their relationship is great in so many ways. Derek even wants to marry Jill. There is just one problem -- Jill's father disapproves of Derek and his line of work.
Jill's mother has her back, but Dad on the other hand just sees Derek as a good-for-nothing loafer who refuses to adhere to the 9 to 5.
Perhaps his own business troubles have Jill's dad in a tizzy? Well, that's what Jill's mom seems to think anyway. Meanwhile, Derek has found a job working at Saks Fifth Avenue. But to Jill's distress, he has turned it down. Before he can explain himself, Jill takes off.
Jill begins to doubt the romantic and freewheelin' nature of Derek's creative endeavors.
Just as Jill begins to sort things out, her mom comes to tell her the news that the family is not doing well financially due to the decline in advertising revenue from Jill's father's job. Jill vows to get a job to help the family. She also contemplates what life would be like without Derek in it. But just as Jill starts to sink further into her thoughts, Derek shows up in a fancy sports car.
Derek explains what he originally tried to when he broke the news to Jill that he turned down the department store job. He signed a deal to open a franchise of boutiques across the country! Not only that, but he has also given all the advertising work for the company to Jill's father. The two marry and live (most likely anyhow) happily ever after!
Wow! What a visual treat, don't you agree?! I do have to admit, despite the breathtaking art the story is a little simplistic and fantastical. But... even though the pieces seem to magically fall into place for all characters involved a little too perfectly, it is easy on this one for me to look past the plot flaws and revel in the gorgeous art! What do you think? Is the art or the story more important for you when it comes to comic books?

Miss Peeping Tom!
After the club's overwhelmingly unwelcoming response to Tina, Wendy convinces her to go see the principal the next day. They do, and the principal agrees to do something after Wendy threatens to sic "Women's Lib" on him if he doesn't.
The principal speaks with the faculty advisor of the club. He agrees to give Tina a chance, but reminds her and the principal, "...she can't be given special treatment either -- just because she's a girl! She must qualify --" And so, Tina is given a list of tasks to make it into the club. She must take candid shots of a number of the school's male athletes, including Steve Anderson -- her crush.
Tina succeeds in photographing all her subjects, with the exception of Steve. He wants nothing to do with her. Wendy convinces Tina to take to Steve's roof in an effort to get a shot. The camera lens isn't sufficient though, and Tina must get closer!
Before departing, Wendy tells her to go up to the roof and hide behind one of the chimneys to get the shot. Tina obeys her friend's advice and gets some good shots, but when she goes to change her film roll, Steve catches her!
In a rage, Steve rips the film out of the camera as Tina begs him to let her explain. He refuses to listen and instead, grabs her and kisses her violently. When he releases her from his grip, he yells at her that all women are worthless and to get out of his sight. Yeesh!!!
Tina is confused about what went down with Steve on the roof, and questions whether she should turn in the pictures of him from the roll that she saved. Wendy is ecstatic Tina has completed the assignment, and turns the photos in for her. Days later, Tina is notified that she has won first place in the camera club's contest. Tina enjoys a new found respect from the guys in the club. Suddenly, she is swamped with not only compliments over her technique and form, but with dates as well. Problem is -- Tina doesn't dig anyone else but Steve. But the even bigger problem is that Steve doesn't dig hurling insults at anyone other than Tina.
Who's the Peeping Tom now, Steve?!
Wendy explains to Tina that love and hate are like "two sides of the same coin" and that Steve is most likely fighting his feelings for her. But, the only way she will truly know according to Wendy, is to go see him up on the roof again. And whaddya know? After hurling insults at her again and accusing her of trespassing, Steve breaks down and admits to Tina that he really just has been scared all along.
Kind of a strange story, don't you think? I have to admit, I was completely drawn in initially by the kooky title. In the end, I would have liked to have seen a good explanation for Steve's fear. Something more concrete was needed to redeem him a bit more in the eyes of the reader. Not the most likeable romance love-interest, that's for sure!

Gene Colan Romance Page Identified!
Well howdy there! I have to apologize for things being pretty quiet over here at Sequential Crush lately. Between work and everything, I am a little behind! But! I am gonna do my best to get caught up, and continue on in bringing romance comic book gems to you!
Last week, fellow romance comic book enthusiast -- Darci, brought a piece of original art to my attention -- a Gene Colan page that had been featured on the blog, Jon's Random Acts of Geekery a few years ago. In the post Jon posed the question, "Does anyone know which issue of which Marvel romance comic this Gene Colan page came from?"
Darci provided me with a list of stories that were possible matches, and after flipping through pages of the Marvel romance issues I have in my collection, I was able to figure it out!
The page comes from the story, "A Boy to Marry!" that appeared in Our Love Story #8 (December 1970). The Gene Colan penciled/Dick Ayers inked story was subsequently reprinted in Our Love Story #24 (August 1973). Thanks Darci for the fun little challenge and the great excuse to look at lots of gorgeous Colan romance art -- more of which I will share with you next week!

DC Serial Romance Story - Alex Toth's "20 Miles to Heartbreak" Part Two
Part two originally published in
Secret Hearts #141 (January 1970)*
Cover image from the Grand Comics Database
Secret Hearts #141 (January 1970)*
Cover image from the Grand Comics Database
Ready for the second installment of the four-part DC serial romance story, "20 Miles to Heartbreak?" Get caught up here on the first episode of the Alex Toth/Vince Colletta illustrated story and then read on to find out what happens next!
Part two begins with Melanie accepting a ride from Juan (the bandleader) after deciding to run away from home. It so happens that he too is trying to make his way to New York. Melanie worries that he is leaving because of the incident at the club, but Juan assures her that he has a job set up there and all is cool. As he drives, Juan tells Melanie that the incident wasn't the first time he had felt the sting of prejudice.
As they continue to make their way down the road, Melanie dozes off and begins to think about all the troubles that caused her to leave... her "arranged" marriage to Bill... her mother's overbearing pushiness... her intense romantic feelings for her stepfather...
Juan snaps Melanie out of it when he stops the car at a restaurant for some eats. Juan is very much aware of the fact that upon their entrance, they are looked over by their fellow diners.
Melanie eases Juan's mind by telling him that their stares are inconsequential to her. With a new sense of confidence, Juan asks Melanie out on the dance floor.
The two dance and as Juan stares into Melanie's eyes he utters melancholy words, "Funny, eh, Chicquita [sic], that we had to meet the way we did... on a lonely highway... leaving town...?" Melanie answers that it is sad that it was the only way they even could meet. The two lament over their star-crossed romance, doomed from the start just because they come from different ethnic backgrounds. Things come to a head when the couple is confronted by an older man and woman who threaten to tell Melanie's mother about her liaisons with a "foreigner." As Melanie makes a run for it, she is hit by a car. As Juan rushes to Melanie's side, the bigoted couple cite the accident as punishment for her sins.
Melanie has been rendered unconscious. In her unaware state, the faces of her stepfather, Bill, and Juan fill her head, silently tormenting her. When Melanie comes to, she realizes she is back at home -- the place that is the source of all her troubles. Her mother informs her that Juan has been put in jail and they will try to convince a judge that he lured her into running off from the start. As Melanie protests, an unknown visitor enters, visibly shaking Melanie's mother to her core.
Ohhhh! Who could it be???
I guess you will just have to wait
until next time to find out!

I just wanted to get some questions answered. I bought this gun on sunday in florida and i got passed the phone call with a three day waiting period.
Is that a good sign as far as approval (getting past the phone call)?
I go to pick up the gun tomorrow morning and i guess i am just nervous that they are going to say i have been denied. do most people that get throuh the phone call get approved? i have an Affray ajudacation withhold that has been sealed and nothing else is on my record exept for speeding tickets. I havnt gotten a bad phone call from the gun shop saying that i have been denied. just nervous im going to drive another 50 miles to the gun shop and there going to say tough luck and give me a 25% restocking fee.
Is this a good first gun? a pt740 slim? i am qurious to how the DA/SA works? is it mainly double action or single?
Thank You,

Korean Won Tumbles on Suspected InterventionJiyeun Lee
South Korea's won slumped the most since February, after reversing earlier gains, amid speculation the authorities intervened.
The currency has strengthened 3.6 percent against the dollar this quarter, the second-best performance among 31 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg, and trade minister Yoon Sang Jick said today that appreciation was hurting the nation's smaller exporters. Finance Minister Hyun Oh Seok said the government would help protect these companies against volatile swings in the exchange rate.
The won sank as much as 0.6 percent to 1,028.40 per dollar in Seoul, the weakest level since May 6, having been 0.1 percent stronger on the day four minutes before the level was reached. Bank of Korea Director General Ryoo Sang Dai declined to comment on whether there had been intervention. The currency closed at 1,027.80 in Seoul, down 0.6 percent from yesterday in the biggest decline since Feb. 20. It touched 1,020.97 on May 9, the strongest since August 2008.
"The authorities seemed to have been waiting for a good time to intervene, and they know that intervention has to be big to be effective," said Jeon Seung Ji, a Seoul-based currency analyst for Samsung Futures Inc. "Today's actions show the government is determined to prevent the won from strengthening beyond 1,000."
Policy makers are watching out for possible herd behavior in the currency market as excessive volatility is not desirable, Vice Finance Minister Choo Kyung Ho said yesterday. The break-even exchange rate for manufacturers selling goods overseas is 1,045 won per dollar, according to a survey of 340 companies by the Korea International Trade Association cited in a government statement today.
Bonds Rise
South Korea's sovereign bonds rose as signs that recoveries in the local and U.S. economies aren't strong enough bolstered demand for the safest assets.
The unemployment rate in South Korea increased to 3.7 percent in April, official data showed today, more than the 3.4 percent median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. Prices of the nation's imports and exports fell 2.5 percent from March, the central bank said today. U.S. retail sales rose 0.1 percent in April, according to a report yesterday, below the 0.4 percent gain forecast in a separate poll.
The yield on South Korea's 3.125 percent bonds due March 2019 fell one basis point to 3.11 percent, according to Korea Exchange data. The yield on the 3.5 percent notes due March 2024 declined one basis point to 3.45 percent. Overseas investors sold more three- and 10-year debt futures than they bought today.
"U.S. retail sales trailed estimates quite a bit, and the higher local unemployment rate is also supporting bonds," said Kong Dong Rak, a Seoul-based fixed-income strategist at Hanwha Investment & Securities Co. "I had expected bond gains to be bigger but it seems foreigners selling bond futures is limiting increases."

Packer Dads Celebrate The Super Bowl Win With Their Kids! Say Cheese!
No better way to celebrate a huge title than with your little mini-mes — and that's just what these Cheeseheads did!
The cheese(heads) stood alone last night as the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers and took the Vince Lombardi Trophy home to Wisconsin! And to ring in the win, the kids of Cheesehead Nation made their way to the field and celebrated alongside their footballing dads!
It's a girl for soccer star, David Beckham!
Wide receiver Greg Jennings, 27, and two of his three daughters celebrated the win along with linebacker A.J. Hawk, 27, and his 2-month-old son Lennon and Matt Wilhelm and his tiny tot Mason, 2.
A-Rod's little girls miss Kate Hudson!
And although earning the title of Super Bowl champion is a huge deal, defensive end Jarius Wynn, 24, had something else equally as exciting to celebrate yesterday. His wife Martavia gave birth to their second child, a baby boy named Jarius Jr, just hours before the big game! And the new parents are thinking about giving their new guy a very special middle name. "Might be Dallas, might be Aaron," he says. "I'm thinking about Super, but I'm not sure yet."
Jarius Super Wynn, sounds pretty awesome to us!
Watch Jarius celebrate the win below —

Please tell me somebody recorded this afternoon's Kristi Yamaguchi Friends & Family on NBC on DVD. Our DirecTV DVR stopped working right in the middle of it before we had a chance to burn it to a DVD and my wife is near tears.
If any of you had a chance to burn it to DVD and is interested in trading for a copy of another show or something else, please let me know. She has pretty much every single skating event -- including the Olympics -- that has run since 2001.
I know the Style Network is going to re-run it in December, but she's afraid it's going to be all chopped up when it does.
Thank you,

Most Creative Cellphone Advertisement
Being in the music program at UL I always enjoy seeing some classical pieces being used in media today.
This advertisement for a "Touch Wood SH-08C" uses Bach's Cantata 147, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. The name might not ring a bell, but once you give it a listen, i'm sure you'll recognize it!
Subscribe to 97.3 The Dawg on
The song is played on hundreds of individual pieces of wood. The pieces were cut and placed to make different pitches as a ball rolled down the track and struck each piece of wood.
Just seeing this, and the amount of effort they put into this, makes me really geeked up! Maybe it's just cause i'm a band nerd.

Friends of Kanye's reveal he is getting very close with girlfriend Kim Kardashian's mom!
Kim Kardashian's mom Kris Jenner and Kanye West may have gotten off to a rocky start but now they are closer than ever, say Kanye's friends. "Kris and Kanye have become really close, she is low-key putting her mom moves on him and grilling him to ensure he's the right guy for Kim," a source reveals.
Another insider confirms this adding that Kris didn't grill Kris Humphries nearly as much as she does Kanye and this is "more than likely because Kris didn't like Humphries as much as she likes Kanye."
Guess the way Kris shows her appreciation for her daughters' boyfriends is by getting Mama Bear on them!
Are you happy to hear Kris approves of Kanye more than she did of Kim's second ex-husband? Sound off below!

The Punjab and Haryana high court has granted six months' time to the Punjab government to take appropriate action against culprits involved in the illegal sale of 2,596 acres of nazul (government) land in the districts of Kapurthala, Patiala, Mohali and Fatehgarh Sahib.
The directions came from the division bench headed by chief justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul on Friday.
Rajpura resident Soma Singh had alleged in his petition that a large chunk of nazul land had been sold illegally to various influential persons in Punjab with the connivance of revenue department officials.
The petitioner, while stating that nazul land can only be allotted to cooperative societies of Scheduled Castes as per rules, had requested the court to constitute a special investigation team to probe the entire case in all districts of Punjab.
The state government had accepted that 2,433 acres of nazul land had been illegally sold in Phagwara and Bholath tehsils of Kapurthala district. Around 115 acres of nazul land had been illegally sold in Rajpura tehsil of Patiala district, 39 acres in Fatehgarh Sahib district and around 6 acres in Mohali district. However, there were no reports from other districts regarding sale of nazul land, the court was informed.

Using Pergo on Stairs
I have a carpeted staircase that is sorely in need of a facelift. I don't believe the floor underneath is in good shape. I was thinking about using Pergo/laminate flooring. I've used this before (in the kitchen) and I was happy with the results.
I know they sell a stair nose molding, which is used at the lip of the stair, and a quarter round used where the step meets the riser. However, I know that laminate flooring is supposed to float, so I'm worried that it might not be a good solution for the stairs.
If anyone has any experience or thoughts about putting laminated flooring over stairs, I'd appreciate your insights. Also, if you know where I can get a step-by-step DIY guide for the stair installation that would be helpful, too. Thank you.
Google 'pergo on stairs', at the top will be the pergo site with all of the info. There is too much info to transfer here. Have any questions not answered there, come on back. I've done all kinds of stairs.
Wilsonart has the "one step stairtreads"
worth looking into.
