- Accessibility: Online and some retailers in pill form
- Diet Type: Dietary supplement
- Gender: Male and female
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
Just the mention of a product coming from the Amazon has the overtones of possessing mysterious health benefits. Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Its nutritional benefits are so powerful, Dr. Nicholas Perricone lists it as one of his top 10 Super Foods at Oprah's Web site.
Studies have shown that the Acai berry is one of the more nutritious and powerful foods on the planet. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Acai tastes like a mix of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its purple pigment is what makes it the perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. You probably won't find it in your local supermarket, but you may have better luck at health food stores, or from the many products springing up online.
The benefits of Acai are purported to be good for detoxing and maintaining optimal health for balancing your pH level. Proper pH balance is vital to our immune health and for disease prevention and correction. Other benefits you'll enjoy:
- Acai has a high concentration of antioxidants that combat premature aging. It has 10 times the antioxidants that red grapes have, and as much as 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. Anthocyanins may have antioxidant effects, possibly fighting cancer, diabetes, and bacterial infections, to name a few.
- Healthy monounsaturated fats, dietary fiber and phytosterols together help promote cardiovascular and digestive health.
- An amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, help with muscular health.
- Research concludes that there appear to be significant benefits to Acai
- On Dr. Perricone's list of Super Foods
- Natural ingredients have disease-fighting qualities
- Increases energy
- Offers antioxidants and amino acids
- Good source of fiber
- Organic products available
- Many juices and other products available in major grocers
- Like other exotic products, Acai can be pricey
- Many imposters
Each Acai product will vary in its ingredients. Be sure to look for Acai products that are all-natural, and do not include a long list of other ingredients. Acai in its purest form is most effective.
Acai comes in many forms, including the whole berry, juices, powders, capsules and pills, food items and more.EXERCISE
Like any weight loss product, you should commit to a consistent exercise regimen. Be sure to look for Acai products that support a balanced and active lifestyle.CONCLUSION
Exotic health foods, like the Acai berry, can provide untapped health benefits, if you can afford it. For whatever reason, these organic products are often on the steep side. But what else is more important than your health? If you can find room in your budget, a product like Acai is worth exploring.Common Misspellings

I signed up for one of the free trial offers and didn't they ended up charging me for 3 separate orders... Needless to say it was an unpleasant big hassle to get it all fixed. It took 3 months!!! I really did like the Acai Cleanse stuff as it I did loose weight. I just did some searching and found a site that apparently trys the different programs and reviews them. I ended up signing up again about a month ago and the company I used actually called me to offer a flat fee month to month program instead of auto billing me. I hope, for those who want to use try the different acai diets, you can find something that works for you.
- Peri
ive been on the pill for a couple days now. i feel more alert and able to sleep. but heard from the customer service rep that sold it to me that it does not aid in weight loss.
I too got messed up in the free trial offer. I read the terms to the auto program. I received my free offer and then cancelled in plenty of time to stop any future auto shipments. Got charged in January and February. I was told to report my card stolen and a new one reissued. What a pain!! If anyone wants to try this product, I'd recommend going to GNC or a local health food store. Product works the same and is MUCH more reasonable cost wise. I love this stuff, and would only purchase through a store now.
There are a lot of scams out there, and if you are one of the poor people that got scammed, why not do your part to put them out of business?
My suggestion: Google "Acai diet" - when the results come up, start clicking on the ad ("Sponsored Links") results in the right hand column. I'll click on each ad about 10-15 times.
Why do this? Google ads can cost advertisers a lot of money. If everyone starts clicking on their ads (but obviously not buying anything), the scammer is going to have one HUGE Google ad bill.
Have fun!
I loved this product. I have lost 18 pounds so far on it. I cancelled the day i ordered and i never got charged anything. They were happy to cancel my order because i just told them that i was not satisfied. I love it and now i am going to GNC or any other store to get it for a lot cheaper =)
Hey guys, dont buy it online, unfortunately, lots of people already have, thinking it was free. Instead, go to gnc or another health store and buy it there, like I did. I bought it and I noticed a difference! I sleep better and have more control with appetite, even my skin looks better. I've only been on it a week. I have high blood pressure and anxiety, and have to be careful when I take new products, but so far, my blood pressure has been fine, and no anxiety espisodes. It's seems safe to me.
Thank you all for letting me know the actuall facts.. I was almost there but thanks to all of you who posted your experience. I guess what I am doing now, which is excersising and the green tea pil, is good!! Thanks again!!!
THIS IS HOW I HOPEFULLY TOOK CARE OF THIS::: I got caught up in the Acai Berry - Colon Cleanse scam as well. I had three $83.00+ charges on my credit card before I realized what was happening. The following is what I did and so far it is has been successful. I started with contacting the Better Business Bureau in Florida for FWM Laboratories. Then I contacted my credit card company and submitted fraud alerts for the three charges. I also had my credit card company issue me a new number (as if I had lost my credit card) I then called the numbers listed on my credit card statement for each company (2 charges were same company and one charge was the other company) and was able to get through to a person on each of the two numbers and received a cancellation number on the one (from a very foreign sounding person) and was told I would receive an email confirmation on the other one. Never received it - ended up calling back and getting an email address. I emailed the company to confirm my cancellation and to get a return address to return the product. After getting a lecture by email on how I had agreed to the auto delivery program they told me they would reimburse me half of the 80 something charge and I could keep the product. (Yeah like I would ever take any of those pills now!!!). To date, my credit card company had deducted the three charges. However, I am still going to check my credit card online daily just in case. That's how I did it. I covered as many bases as I could. Good luck to all. FYI - The two numbers I called ((Acaiberry&lifecleans 866-949-0138)) and ((Ids*max Colon 866-8707042 Ca))
I like it and it is my first time trying it,
Please do not send me any more of your product. It may be a great product, but I can not afford to pay $79.95, I called and ask not to be sent any more product and there is another charge on the 18th of Feb.. When contacted regarding this product, I agreed to pay s& h for the sample only. the next thing I found all of these charges on my account. I just lost my husband and Iam grieving. Please leave me alone. Thank you
I ordered it last week! When does it come in??
DON'T DO IT!! THIS IS A RIP-OFF and a SCAM!! Not only did I not lose weight but it mademe feel ill.
To add insult to injury, the big ad of 30-day free trail is reduced to 15 days in fine print. THEN, after I cancelled and stopped in future shipments, I was still billed $82.22 -- for nothing since I never received another shipment. AND they refuse to credit my account. I have filed a dispute with the credit card company. DON'T DO IT -- Don't get ripped off like I did!!
I love acai!
Ever since I got my two free trials of acai and probiotic from I have felt great and I lost 15 pounds
I really got upset of not having any changes in 3 weeks, and when I called
to cancell my account you already charged my credit card which is not
agreable. If that is free trial send my money back.
Have been using Acai Berry diet for a little over a week and have gotten much more energy, and don't feel as hungry; which was something I thought would never happen with me. I decided to check my weight just to see if I had been losing any pounds and found in only 9 days have lost 8 pounds! Very happy with this!
I wish to have my 78.81 refunded. The trial pills did me no good. they only constipated me and i had to stop taking them. pls send cancellation# to my email address. I called 2/16/09 and was promised a cancellation # but have not rec'd it.
you people who have tried this free trial should learn and keep in mind that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH which means that NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS FREE....you will end up paying for it sooner or later.....
I went to the website for the "free trial". At the VERY bottom of the screen there is a link for "terms and conditions". This is where you will find the information about being billed for the next shipment after the "free trial". I'm with you guys, something that is free should be exactly that, not free for now, but we'll charge you later.
I was going to order it but as I scrolled down to the bottom of the website I did see the fine print and closed out the web page. Better off buying at a local vitamin or nutrional store! The products ARE Good for your health - just not your wallet online!! !
I see many of you, have done as I have, these acai berry 'free sample' ads, are deceiving. I have learned this the hard way. If you have ordered the free sample, only to find your credit card billed for some large amount a month down the line, I urge you to go to this website, and report it. Free Samples, should be just that, Free, no auto billing down the line. There are many, many sites like this, if we all complain, the laws will be changed. Please go to this link, if you thought you were getting a free sample, only to be billed at a later date, for a 'refill'. This is the only way to this. Whether or not it works, it is still deceiving, and it should be up to us to decide, if we want to re-order, not theirs.

% IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links
I have 2611-XM. I have a FastEthernet Module connected on it with 16 ports.
Everytime i try to configure the IP address on the FastEthernet , i keep getting this error % IP addresses may not be configured on L2 links".
When i do "show vlan-switch" i do see all the FastEthernet's are under VLAN-1. I do not want these ports to be under VLAN-1. Is there a way i can individually configure the IP addresses on these FastEthernets. I removed the VLAN-'s but still didn't work. Any ideas, help or documentation would be appreciated.

ORDER K.K. Agarwal, Member (T)
1. The dispute in the present appeal relates to valuation of goods manufactured by the appellant on job work basis out of the raw materials supplied by M/s TISCO. The brief facts of the case are that the appellant has entered into contract with M/s TISCO for conversion of steel blooms/billets supplied by M/s TISCO into rounds/bars and after such conversion return the same to M/s TISCO. The yield from the raw material to final product was considered as 87% in the case of double rolling and 91% in the case of single rolling. M/s TISCO has allowed the appellant to retain the scrap at their end. The conversion charges ranged from Rs. 4,000/- per MT to Rs. 5,500/- per MT depending upon the nature and quality of the material received from M/s TISCO. In addition to the same the appellants was also receiving documentation charges Rs. 10/- per MT from M/s TISCO.
2. During the course of scrutiny it was found that the appellant was paying duty at the price declared by M/s TISCO which was much less than the cost of the raw material + conversion charges and the cost of scrap retained by the appellant, M/s TISCO were submitting two sets of price, one indicating the actual cost of raw material of blooms/billets and the other price at which duty should be paid by the appellants. Since the goods were being returned back to M/s TISCO as stock transfer, there was no sale of the goods and accordingly the value was to be arrived as per the then Rule 7 of the Central Excise Valuation Rules, 1975 and the appellants were required to file price declaration under Rule 173C(1). The appellant however did not file any price declaration and paid duty at a price which was much less than the cost of raw material + conversion charges etc. They were therefore issued two show cause notices for the period January 1996 to February 2000 and March 2000 to November 2000 demanding duty amounting to Rs. 79,29,777/- in respect of the clearances affected during the period. The price was arrived at on the basis of cost of raw material + conversion charges + documentation charges to Rs. 10/-per MT. The same was confirmed alongwith interest by the Commissioner, who also imposed penalty of Rs. 78,48,652/- under Section 11AC of the Central Excise Act, 1944 and Rs. 17,00,000/- under Rule 173Q of the Central Excise Rules, 1944.
3. Learned advocate for the appellants submitted that the appellants were paying duty at the price declared by M/s TISCO and the same was inconformity with the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Ujagar Prints v. Union of India reported at 1989 (39) E.L.T. 493 (S.C.). In this case the Apex Court has clearly held that if the trader would give a declaration to the processor as to what would be the price at which he would be selling the processed goods in the market, that would be taken by the Excise authorities as the assessable value of the processed fabric and excise duty would be charged to the processor on that basis provided that the declaration as to the price at which he would be selling the processed goods in the market, would include only the price or deemed price at which the processed fabric would leave the processor's factory plus his profit. It was submitted that in their case also the appellants have cleared the goods at the sale price declared by M/s TISCO and therefore this was inconformity with the decision of the Apex Court in Ujagar Prints case. It was submitted that the above principle has been followed by the Tribunal in the case of Sangam Processors (Bhilwara) Ltd. v. Commissioner of Central Excise, Jaipur and Loharu Steal Industries Ltd. v. Commissioner of Central Excise, Bangalore wherein it has been clearly held that when the trader gives value as his selling price of the processed fabric, that price given by the trader must be accepted by the job worker for the purpose of payment of duty. The excise authorities cannot go beyond that declared value.
4. Reference was also invited to the circular issued by the Board vide Circular No. 21/8/9CX dated 14th October 1996 wherein it was clarified that in those cases where after processing the goods are not returned but sold by the independent processor itself, then the assessable value will depend upon the sale price at the "place of removal" from where the goods are sold. It was submitted that since in this case the goods were removed from the factory to M/s TISCO it has to be considered as deemed sale and therefore the price which M/s TISCO has declared should be considered as the assessable value.
5. In the alternate it was submitted that the demand is time barred as they have been filing RT 12 return declaring the assessable value and the fact that they were paying duty at the price declared by M/s TISCO and not on the cost of raw material plus job charges was in the knowledge of the department in as much as this matter was raised by the Jurisdictional Superintendent vide his letter dated 15.12.1995 wherein he has referred to the two sets of price being declared by M/s TISCO and further CERA audit has in its audit report in February 1947 referred to the incorrect method of arriving at the assessable value as the same was lower than the cost of raw material. In view of this demand was time barred. They were under the bonafide belief that the goods were required to be assessed at the value as declared by N/s TISCO as per decision in the Sangam Processor's case and the other cases.
6. Reference was also invited to the decision of Commissioner of Central Excise, Indore v. S. Kumars Ltd. wherein it was held that the decision of Ujagar Prints will be applicable in all those cases, where the goods are manufactured on job work basis except in the cases where the job worker is a related person. It was submitted that the law has been clarified only by the above decision and earlier they were guided by the Tribunal decision in Sangam Processor's case and therefore the matter should be considered as that of bonafide mistake and accordingly extended period cannot be invoked.
7. Lastly it was submitted that if he plea regarding non-maintainability of demand on merits as well as time bar is not accepted, the computation of the duty has not been correctly done as the cost of raw material has been increased on the basis of 91% or 87% as the case may be of the yield which is incorrect as the cost of the raw material cannot go if certain wastages and scrap arise in the process of manufacture. He however agreed that the cost of scrap allowed to be retained by the appellants needs to be included in the assessable value.
8. Learned D.R. however submits that as per the Ujagar Prints decision, in case of goods manufactured on job work basis the assessable value is required to be determined on the basis of landed cost of raw material + job work charges including the profit of the job worker and other expenses and since the appellant in the present case has manufactured the goods on job work basis, price should have been determined on the basis cost of raw material + job charges + other expenses recovered from supplier and not on the prices declared by M/s TISCO and therefore the demand cannot be faulted with. The appellants have never disclosed that the assessable value was less than the cost of raw material and reference to the Superintendent's letter goes in favour of the department as the appellants have in their reply misstated that the duty was being paid on a higher price when actually they were paying duty at a lower price.
9. We have considered the submissions. We find that the appellants case is squarely covered by the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Ujagar Prints (cited supra). The relevant portion of the Supreme Court decision has also been reproduced in the Sangam Processor's case cited by the appellants which reads as under:
If the trader, who entrusts cotton or man-made fabrics to the processor for processing on job work basis, would give a declaration to the processor as to what would be the price at which he would be selling the processed goods in the market, that would be taken by the Excise authorities as the assessable value of the processed fabric and excise duty would be charged to the processor on that basis provided that the declaration as to the include only the price or deemed price at which the processed fabric would leave the processors factory plus his profit. Rule 174 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944 enjoins that when goods owned by one person are manufactured by another the information is required relating to the price at which the said manufacturer is selling the said goods and the person so authorized a gives to discharge all the liabilities under the said Act and the rules made thereunder. The price at which he is selling the goods must be the value of the grey-cloth or fabric plus the value of the job work done plus the manufacturing profit and the manufacturing expenses but not any other subsequent profit or expenses. It is necessary to include the processor's expenses, costs and charges plus profit, but it is not necessary to include the trader's profits who gets the fabric processed, because those would be post-manufacturing profits.
10. The apex court has very clearly held that the price at which the traders sells the goods must be the value of the grey cloth or fabric plus the value of the job work done plus the manufacturing profit; and the manufacturing expenses. The Tribunal in the case of Sangam Processors and other have only held that if the cost of grey fabric (raw material) in incorrectly given by the trader which is not in the knowledge of the job worker, the job worker cannot be held liable for the incorrect declaration of price by the trader. In the present case the correct price of the raw material was being intimated by M/s TISCO as they were giving two sets of prices and therefore the appellants cannot take a stand that the duty was to be paid by some arbitrary price declared by M/s TISCO. We further note that Larger Bench of the Tribunal has in the case of Commissioner of Central Excise, Jaipur v. Bhilwara Processors Ltd. 2002 (146) E.L.T. 155 (Tri.-LB) held that in case of fabrics processed on job work the assessable value is to be arrived at by adding. Value of raw material in the hands of the processor plus the value of job work plus manufacturing profit and manufacturing expenses. Value of grey cloth is essential component of the deemed price and it is to be correctly computed. Tribunal has held that there is no observation in the clarificatory order of the Supreme Court in Ujagar Prints v. Union of India 1989 (39) E.L.T. 493 (S.C.) that the revenue cannot go behind the value of grey cloth declared by the trader. It has overruled the decision in the case of Sangam Processors. We therefore hold that the duty has been correctly demanded on the basis of the value of raw material plus job charges plus documentation charges as a miscellaneous expenses.
11. We also do not accept the plea of time bar as the appellants have not filed the price list as required and in spite of having two sets of price from M/s TISCO were wrongly declaring the incorrect price and in reply to the Superintendent letter regarding existence of two prices have misstated that the duty was being paid at a higher price. As regards the matter being pointed out CERA in 1997, the appellants were asked by Bench to produce all correspondence with department regarding the objection for which they sought time but later expressed their inability to do so. We are also not convinced by the plea of bonafide belief as the law was laid down by the Supreme Court in 1989 in Ujagar Print's case and was followed through out and the decisions in the case of M/s Sangam Processors has been twisted by the appellants. Even otherwise this decision was delivered in 2000, whereas demand is for year 1996 to 2000 and therefore they could not have been guided by it. The Board's circular referred to by them is also very categorical that in case the goods are manufactured on job work basis and returned to the supplier, the assessable value is to be determined on the basis of formula prescribed in the Ujagar case. The plea of time bar is therefore rejected.
12. As regards computation of demand we are in agreement with the plea of the appellant that the cost of raw material cannot be enhanced on account of wastage and cannot be determined on the basis of 91% yield or 87% yield as the case may be. If 100 tonne of billets produced 91 tonne of rounds and 9 tonne of scrap or waste including burning losses, it cannot be said that the cost of raw material for 91 MT should be increased by 9%. All that is required to be done is to take the value of billets/blooms as the case may be plus conversion charges plus value realised by the job worker in respect of the scrap generated during the course of conversion and allowed to be retained by M/s TISCO and the documentation charges paid by M/s TISCO. The demand of duty is therefore required to be re-worked out and the matter is accordingly remanded to Commissioner to re-work out to duty in the matter suggested now. As regards penalty, we find that same is excessive and accordingly reduce the penalty imposed under Section 11AC from Rs. 78,48,652/- to Rs. 10 Lakhs and penalty under Rule 173Q from Rs. 17,00,000/- to Rs. 5 00,000/- only.
13. Appeal is disposed of in above terms.
(Pronounced in Court)

In my opinion, Huey is definitely ready to be adopted out -- to the right home-- and I'm going to try to see that he's officially cleared up for adoption ASAP.
Over the past couple months he's definitely started to show a lot more affection, seeking my lap within moments of me sitting down on a couch or chair, and soliciting affection by rolling onto his back, inviting me to rub his belly.
His adoptive home will just have to understand that he's going to be somewhat timid at first, so they shouldn't plan on trying to handle him much until he adjusts (which should take a couple days or a week). I think he may have been carried & dropped by a human at some point in his life, so he still doesn't like to be carried around unless he's bonded with & is trusting of the human wanting to handle him. Some dogs/breeds can just be placed into a new environment & instantly be calm, trusting & friendly with everybody -- Huey (as with many small dogs) will NOT be like that, but the wonderful thing is that over a period of time, you will see him relax & become more trusting & affectionate.
He is housebroken, not very vocal, and could get along fine with other small or medium-sized dogs in the household, maybe even a cat. He probably should not live in a household with children under about 10 years of age.
I've just uploaded two videos I've taken of Huey so you can see him in 'action.'
If you're interested in adopting Huey, please contact me now with any specific questions you may have. Obviously, you need to be in or plan on coming to the San Francisco Bay area to meet him in-person.
Here's a long-overdue update regarding my foster-dog Huey.
Huey is not yet officially up for adoption, but based on my experience & knowledge of him, he could be adopted out now to the right home.
Huey is pretty much a quiet, calm little couch-potato and is perfectly content with hanging out inside a fairly quiet home (with or without other pets), with potty breaks in a (fenced) back yard, and then sleeping in the same bed as his human(s). Every once in a while I'll see Huey playing with a chew toy, but I have yet to see him running around & acting like a crazy little doggy. I take Huey for walks around the block occasionally & he is starting to enjoy the new sights & sounds, but he's always very happy to get back home & nestle up on the couch. When it comes to leashing him, I have to hide the leash as I approach him, or he'll trot off from me -- he's that much of a homebody. He's good in the car -- usually just snoozing on a blanket in the back seat, and he's been very good when I've had friends come over -- sometimes disappearing to a quiet room until they've left, other times just sitting on the couch & snoozing, as long as they don't bother him.
Obviously, the goal is to make Huey more sociable, to where he's happy to leave the home, meet strangers, etc. & I'm slowly working on that. Huey does go to the animal shelter with me & hangs out there in an office area with other people while I'm working with dogs, & once a week Huey attends a class there & has someone else work with him.
But if anyone is looking for a small dog that loves affection (especially belly-rubs) from the person(s) he's bonded with but otherwise doesn't need nor want a lot of commotion in the home or a lot of exercise, please do contact me via this web page immediately (assuming you're in the local area).
Huey is doing great!
It took him a while (about two weeks) to really start to get comfortable in his new home, but I'm finally seeing some happy & playful behavior from him, plus he now loves it when I rub his belly.
When I'm in the kitchen making him his breakfast or dinner, he starts doing this little 'happy dance' which I'll have to try to catch on video. He gets along fine with the other dogs, though he isn't really playful with them.
Huey isn't very physically-active at all. Perhaps this will change over time, but in the couple weeks I've had him living with me, he seems very content to just hang out on or under his blanket on the couch or bed for most of the day, so he'd probably be perfect with someone who lives a pretty slow lifestyle, or at least someone who is looking for that in a dog...
I haven't started to expose him to other people yet, but will start doing so soon, and his reaction to them will determine how soon little Huey is ready for adoption.
Meanwhile, if you are seriously interested in possibly adopting Huey, feel free to send me email telling me about yourself & your home, or just keep checking this web page for updates.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Give a community of artists free range over a 2,400-square-foot exhibition space split into three levels, housed within the live/work loft facility where they also live, and you're bound to end up with an abundant stream of some really great art. That's what ArtSpace must have had in mind when it created the Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts, where downtown Fort Lauderdale's 1310 Gallery makes its home. With new exhibitions rotating through the gallery monthly as well as strong ties to the surrounding Sailboat Bend and FAT Village arts districts, 1310 Gallery is a pillar in the burgeoning Fort Lauderdale art scene. As each resident takes his or her turn curating a show, 1310 Gallery has featured a diverse range of media, from painting, photography, and sculpture to spoken word, video, and performance art. In the past year alone, exhibitions included "Re:Vision: See and Shift," an art collaboration to provoke thoughtful dialogue and transform the way onlookers view ordinary things; as well as "Appropriated Gender," a group show exploring the malleability and changing notions of gender identity. The gallery is open by appointment in addition to the opening and closing receptions.
When Mike and Pete Campbell perform their mind-boggling, hypnotic prog-metal, it's a difficult phenomenon to ignore. Not only does the complexity of the musical arrangements crack open heads like calculus on acid but it's executed with joy and a flair so furious that audience members are often too happily captivated to notice that their brains are being rewired. Indeed, it could be the case that the twin-brother duo are up to something secretive and scientific as Mike does finger acrobatics up and down the neck of his ten-string guitar, smiling and shouting with excitement while Pete enters into a bug-eyed shamanic trance while working his 30-piece drum kit — featuring a razor-sharp saw blade and other oddities — in impossible ways. The nonstop, 45-minute ride may feature a salsa bit, a trip through fiery hell, and an extended homage to Zelda. Or maybe none of the above. The duo is constantly at work composing new, brilliantly orchestrated sets for their live shows. It's what they do. And it's quite puzzling, in a wonderful way.
Paul Wilson's music stains the mind like tobacco, rusty-gold. His voice hangs in the air like smoke. He carries on the tradition of the old singin' cowboy with the authenticity of a passing train. A cool, seasoned character with long white hair and beard to match, he's just the guy you want to have singing to you about riding the rails, chasing women (and catching a few), and running from the law. He does so with simple dignity, like it's his job and his joy. As he puts it: "I just want to say thank you to God for the talent to make up songs and to you for listening." As beautifully lonesome as his tunes can be, he doesn't work alone. He is continuously getting together with friends and family to write and perform, hence the name of his project. His 2012 debut release, Trains and Fools, features collaborations with a handful of fellow songwriters, including T.J. Howard and Lydia Milan, his niece. The song he wrote with Howard, "Lost in Texas," recently earned the pair co-Songwriter of the Year awards from North American Country Music Association International. Vintage, timeless, and trusty, Wilson and his band of friends offer something that will always have a place in American music, and it's great to have it here in South Florida.
The phrase "breath of fresh air" does not provide the oomph needed to describe just how special the Resolvers are. The Resolvers are like a ganja-tinged hurricane wind from the deep lungs of a giant Rastaman ripping out the end of a scorching-hot brass horn as just the funk the doctor ordered. Their unique sound, which the 11-piece calls "big band reggae," is a marriage between roots reggae and New Orleans-style funk, and its powerful vibes have spread out far beyond this peninsula. The band has uplifted audiences throughout the Southeast, as well as in California and Jamaica. And its 2012 EP, Big Band Reggae, debuted at number five on the Billboard reggae charts, establishing the band's presence in the reggae world at large. While the positive influence makes its way around the globe, it is certainly most concentrated here in South Florida. The band regularly, along with its ever-growing posse of sun-kissed fans, blows the roof off of local venues. And once a month, the Resolvers "fam" hits the beach for a day of service — picking up litter for hours. Driven by a group heart and a work ethic as powerful as their music, the Resolvers are getting bigger all the time. And with an album release and U.S. tour scheduled for 2013, they're showing no signs of stopping.
Unity Rise is a cast of radicals more likely to belt out their riotous folk-punk songs in the trenches of an anti-imperialist protest than on a proper stage. In either case, they require no amplification. They are loud. They sound like a tightly clenched fist being raised into the polluted air of an unjust society. They hold nothing back. For an audience of three in a parking lot outside of a building they just played in, they will play all of their songs again, a few times over, each time with even greater passion. And each time, bassist Tyler Lewis will lay his double bass on its side without missing a beat, so that his bandmates may use it as a platform to shout out union-praising lyrics, new and old. When playing "The Ballad of John Henry," the band works like it's driving steel and sounds like a pissed-off locomotive. And the originals come across as being just as authentic as that timeless anthem of yore. It's good to have these guys on the streets.
After winning a contest to play Aura Fest 2012 in Central Florida, the Funky Nuggets were not invited back to play Aura Fest 2013. This was quite a bummer for Frankie Sensimilla, the band's charismatic, guitar-shredding leader, who got naked (except for an Aura wristband, which he is still wearing) for the band's 2012 Aura performance, and for the rest of the band and its ever-growing tribe of fans as well. How did the band respond? Exactly as one would hope a playful young jam band would: They smuggled a silent disco rig into the fest, set it up in the woods along with a pro light rig courtesy of Orange Blossom Jamboree, and jammed from 3 to 9 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights without making a peep, except for into the wireless headphones worn by the hundred or so grinning folks surrounding them. This glorious act of peaceful rebellion was the talk of the festival, won the Boca Raton band hundreds of new fans, and is but one episode in the Nuggets' fun-filled musical journey. And, as fun as their approach is, it is grounded in serious dedication to the music. This coupling of fun times and quality musicianship is what makes a good jam band, and the Nuggets have it as well as any band on the circuit.

U.S. Thanksgiving turkey dinner to be easy on the wallet
By P.J. Huffstutter
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Americans will be able to enjoy relatively cheap Thanksgiving turkeys this year, thanks to many retailers locking in their costs before a drought this year drove up U.S. feed prices.
And retailers are determined to keep prices for the traditional Thanksgiving main course as low as possible, even though sky-high corn prices have nearly doubled the cost of producing a pound of turkey meat this year.
Offering attractive prices for turkey can help retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Supervalu Inc lure customers into their stores for other Thanksgiving staples such as turkey stuffing, cranberries and sweet potatoes, industry sources said.
"Like the rest of the industry, we're seeing an increase in the prices on turkeys," said Mike Siemienas, spokesman for Supervalu Inc, the third-largest U.S. grocery store operator. "We continue to work with suppliers to ensure we're getting the best price possible for our customers."
Retail prices for frozen turkeys have barely moved in recent weeks. Whole frozen turkeys were selling for $1.62 a lb in September, up from $1.57 a lb at the same time two years ago, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service.
One reason for that is many producers' contractual prices with retailers were set this spring when feed was far cheaper as U.S. farmers began planting what looked like would be a record corn crop.
The expectations for a bumper autumn harvest evaporated as the worst drought in half a century devastated crops and sent corn and soybean prices to record highs this summer.
The impact of higher feed costs are beginning to show up at some supermarkets that did not lock in pre-drought prices. Continued...

Motorized scooter
A motorized scooter or gas scooter is a small scooter designed to have the rider primarily in the standing position with a small motor attached.[1] These scooters are generally designed with a large "deck" in the center on which the operator may stand. Gas powered stand-up scooters use a small utility engine (often designed for use in industrial power equipment) attached to the rear of the scooter. The first production scooter, the "Sport," was released by Go-Ped in 1985. Since then, the industry has exploded with the creation of many new brands and technologies.
- 1915: Autoped introduces its stand-up scooter. Pulling back on the handlebar disengaged the clutch and applied the brake. Autoped continued production until 1921; Krupp of Germany built the Autoped under licence from 1919 to 1922.[2][3]
- 1986: Go-Ped introduces the first production stand-up scooter, the "Roadster", quickly followed by the "Sport"
- May 2001: Go-Ped introduces the first full suspension stand-up electric scooter, the "Hoverboard."
- 2004: Evo Powerboards introduces the first scooter with a two-speed transmission, the "2x."
- November 2009: Go-ped introduces their first completely propane powered scooter and go-kart, the "GSR Pro-Ped" and the "GSR Pro-Quad"
- 2013-2014: light electric folding scooters such as E-Twow and EcoReco, based on lithium batteries and brushless hub motors become available.
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2012)
In addition to its usage for transportation, motorized stand-up scooters may be used in law enforcement, security, or patrolling.[4][5]
Wheels and tires[edit]
There are two general categories of tires on which stand-up scooters travel—hard tires and air tires. Hard tires are generally six inches in diameter and constructed of a hard-plastic insert surrounded by a solid rubber tire. Air tires are most often 10 inches in diameter. They are constructed of a steel or aluminum split rim, an inner tube and rubber tire. Other, less common wheel and tire types include 8 inch and 13 inch air tires.
The most simplistic drive mechanism of stand-up scooters is the "spindle" drive. This drive mechanism puts an extension of the engine's output shaft, the spindle, in direct contact with the rear tire of the scooter. In order to function correctly, the tire must have a clean, dry surface which the spindle will be able to effectively interact with. Scooters with this type of direct transmission can be pull started with the rear wheel off of the ground or "bump" started by forcefully pushing the scooter with the rear tire in contact with the ground.
Simple chain reduction drives are also used to transfer energy to the rear wheel from the engine. These generally incorporate a type of centrifugal clutch to allow the engine to idle independently.
Belt reduction drives use the combination of wide flat "cog" belts and pulleys to transfer power to the rear wheel. Like chain drives, belt drives include a centrifugal clutch. Belt drives are more susceptible to breakage in off-road conditions.
The suspension systems of stand-up scooters range from simplistic spring based fork systems to the complicated, dampened cam-link and C.I.D.L.I[6] suspension mechanisms.
- The United States
In many areas in the United States motorized scooters are not street legal, as they cannot be tagged, titled, insured, and do not meet simple federal requirements for lights or mirrors. Particular localitites may have further ordinances that limit the use of motorized scooters. The top speed of the average motorized scooters is around 20 miles per hour. Due to their small wheels motorized scooters are not typically safe for street use as even the smallest bumps can cause an accident.
For example, the state of California requires that a person riding a motorized scooter on a street must be 16 years of age or older, have a valid driver's license, be wearing a bicycle helmet, have no passengers, and otherwise follow the sames rules of the road the same as cars do. The motorized scooter must have brakes, may not have handlebars raised above the operator's shoulders, and if ridden at night must have a headlight, a taillight, and side reflectors. A motorized scooter may not be operated on sidewalks or on streets if the posted speed limit is over 25 mph, unless in a Class II bicycle lane.[7]

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim seem to be a team of bad luck lately. On Monday night in Dan Haren's debut, the righty was forced to leave the game early after a line drive hit his pitching forearm. The bullpen pitched well but was taxed, and the Red Sox won.
Wednesday afternoon, the Red Sox were going for a sweep and were sending a rusty Josh Beckett to the hill. The Angels countered with former Sox reliever Joel Pineiro…oh wait…never mind. Pineiro was scratched right before gametime with a strained muscle in his side, knocking him out for 6-8 weeks. In his place was Scot Shields, who lasted only 1.2 innings after allowing two home runs, one to Adrian Beltre and one to Bill Hall.
Josh Beckett, meanwhile, had a strong second outing in his return from the disabled list. He went seven innings and allowed three runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts, lowering his season ERA to 6.33. He went pitch-for-pitch with a slew of Angels relievers, and the game was tied 3-3 when he stepped off the mound to end the bottom half of the seventh inning.
In the top of the eighth, Fernando Rodney came on to preserve the tie for the Angels. He promptly allowed two walks and a bunt single to load the bases with no outs. Marco Scutaro, of all people, then slugged a grand slam to left to give the Red Sox the 7-3 lead. Surprising scoreless innings by Manny Delcarmen and Ramon Ramirez helped the Sox win it by that score, improving to 7-0 against LAA this season.
The win also marked the first time since 2007 that the Angels were swept in a series at home, a stretch of 80 series.
Scutaro has done everything asked of him this season, including stay healthy. He could have a slicker glove at shortstop, but he gets to more balls than most, so that can explain some of his errors. His 3-4 effort with a grand slam in Wednesday brought his season average to .281.
Tough to pick on anybody when every Sox player reached base, but I suppose McDonald could have had a better day. He finished 0-5 with a walk out of the No. 2 hole in the order. Not good.
W: Josh Beckett (2-1)
L: Fernando Rodney (4-1)

Basement Stairwell Storage Project.
My access to our basement is just off the kitchen. I wanted more
storage space for extra cleaning products and extra food, as my
food pantry in the kitchen is not big enough.
Here is a clever idea that we came with (I think it's clever anyhow :yes:)
Note: The stairs to the second floor is over this stair well and that's why the stairwell is sloped.
The head knot wanted raised paneled doors, so that's what we made.
Also, we used all scraps from our workshop, poplar, oak, pine, whatever we could scurry up...
The knobs, are from a yard sale, I bought a bag full of these white knobs.
The sloped wall is old paneling -- we used the other side.
I originally planned on painting everything white, however, after seeing it
finished, I said, lets just leave it all natural and just use poly, so that we
never have to paint it. The head knot loved that idea.
The grab bar on the ceiling was the head knots idea for extra safety.
I have to go through lots of pics to give you a full overview.
Also, all cabs are screwed in and can be removed just in case
something big has to be bought up or down.
I left open a spot for my iron
It's deeper than I pictured it in my mind.

I got tired looking through the archives, so I just took a couple
of new ones.

I like that it holds cleaning products, we have a total
of three cabs that hold cleaning products...I actually was
surprised that by just going between 2 x 4's the shelves
as so spacious. :yes:
Wish I could say "wow, you had a great idea", but I have seen many old farm houses in New England with the same thing, (usually no doors). It worked then and still does I see, when you are clever. Another one I have seen is about a 6" or 8" section of a sapling, flattened on the back, with a branch stub opposite, screwed to the wall or stud, that makes a great hanger peg. Curved branch, or angled branch upwards. Remember, the old Yankees were in this country before most of the rest of it was civilized.
already been invented! I come up with a lot of them! Really. :yes:
Non the less, I like the extra storage room close to the kitchen
and like the finished look as well....
So, Duckweather...I'll try and grant your wish, and think of
another great idea that I came up with...:laughing:
