Nissan's subcompact Versa sedan is unimpressive, with a noisy and cheap interior. The engine drones as the car gathers speed, and the continuously variable transmission exacerbates engine noise. Handling, though secure, lacks precision, and the car feels clumsy as a result. The ride is compliant and has good isolation from bumps and ruts, but the short, quick pitches make it feel jumpy on the highway. To its credit, the rear cabin is relatively roomy and fuel economy is commendable at 32 mpg overall. Running changes include new interior refinements and some styling details, but much of the interior still feels low rent. Most controls are straightforward.

The barrack conditions were unbearable, being located very close to the crematorium and the overwhelming stench of prison atrocities. Add to this the hours that the prisoners were forced to stand at attention in freezing temperatures and their cramped, flea infested quarters.
When being admitted to the camp, Corrie had miraculously smuggled in a Bible under her cotton dress. This enabled the ladies to conduct Bible studies, made easier by the fact that the soldier's rarely made visits. At one point, Betsie suggested that the prisoners give thanks to the Lord for their situation. Betsie quoted I Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJ), "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Corrie struggled with this, especially since she could not fathom the idea of thanking the Lord for fleas! Betsie reminded Corrie that God didn't limit thanksgiving to perfect situations, but that gratitude was all inclusive.
It is interesting to note that the scripture states, "In everything," not for everything. This makes a notable difference in our approach because an "attitude of gratitude" basically acknowledges that God is continuously in control and working behind the scenes. There is always something to be thankful for, even if it's simply to rehearse what God has already accomplished for us and what His Word promises in present circumstances.
It was later that the ladies learned of why the soldiers were so scarce. The reason? Fleas!
[Corrie Ten Boom is the author of The Hiding Place. Through the efforts of the Ten Boom family and their many friends, it is estimated that 800 Jewish lives were saved. In Jewish tradition, only very blessed people are allowed to die on their Birthdays. Corrie passed away on her 91st Birthday on April 15th, 1983.]

K-12 Education:
Characteristics of the Investing in Innovation Fund
GAO-14-211R: Published: Feb 7, 2014. Publicly Released: Feb 7, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7215
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
From fiscal years 2010 to 2012, Education awarded over half ($493 million of $937 million) of Investing in Innovation (i3) grants funds as validation grants, and most awards went to partnerships involving nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit organizations partnering with school consortia accounted for a large portion of i3 funds largely because they have won four ($170 million) of the five scale-up grants that Education made in competitions through 2012.
Education has the flexibility to change the selection criteria for any given i3 competition; however, four criteria have been included in each i3 competition. Education relies on outside peer reviewers to rate each application based on the selection criteria. Peer reviewers apply the same selection criteria to each type of i3 grant, but the maximum number of points peer reviewers may give for each criterion may differ depending on the type of grant. Education officials said they make final awards based on peer reviewers' scores and other factors.
i3 projects most often support one of four of the priority areas that Education identified for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 competitions and use methods that often rely on teacher and principal development. i3 projects most often address one of four priorities: (1) supporting effective teachers and principals; (2) using high quality standards and assessments; (3) turning around low-performing schools; and (4) improving science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. Through 2012, 62 i3 projects include teacher or principal professional development as a means to achieve their project goals.
Education supports i3 grantees through monitoring and technical assistance. According to Education officials and i3 monitoring protocols, i3 program officers communicate regularly with grantees to ensure that projects comply with Education's regulations, funds are spent appropriately, and progress is being made. Education hired contractors to provide technical assistance and to support implementation and evaluation of projects. According to Education officials, the technical assistance provided for project evaluations helps maximize the strength of the project evaluations.
Why GAO Did This Study
The i3 program provides competitive grants to expand the use of innovative practices that improve student achievement and attainment. The i3 program provides grants to three types of groups: local educational agencies (LEAs), nonprofit organizations partnering with LEAs, and nonprofit organizations joining with school consortia. The program awards 3 types of grants: scale-up, validation, and development, which differ based on the level of prior evidence required to demonstrate an innovation's effectiveness and its readiness to expand in scale. For example, scale-up grants require applicants to show strong evidence that the innovation works and can be scaled to a national level. From FY2010 to FY2012, the Department of Education (Education) awarded 92 grants totaling about $937 million.
This report was prepared in response to a mandate in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This report describes (1) the distribution of i3 awards across grant and recipient types; (2) the criteria Education has used to make awards; (3) the distribution of i3 funds among the priorities that Education specified for the program; and (4) how Education supports grantees in implementing and evaluating their projects.
GAO reviewed relevant federal laws, regulations, and guidance; analyzed publicly available data on grantees; and interviewed Education officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making any recommendations.

How long does it take for scabies to go away?
My puppy is about to recieve his 3rd shot for treating scabies(not sure what the shot is but it is given by the vet), but he hasn't shown any signs of getting any better! We bath him with a anti-microbial wash (2) a week and he is on an antibiotic (twice a day) and hydrox (3 times a day) for the itching, but he is still itching himself until he bleeds. How long can we expect this to last? And is there anything else we can do to relieve the itching, we feel so helpless!

Lead Poisoning of Waterfowl by Contaminated Sediment in the Coeur d'Alene River
DOI: 10.1007/s002440010260

The Coeur d'Alene River basin in Idaho has been contaminated by mine tailings that have impaired the health of wildlife since the early 1900s. In other parts of the world, virtually all lead poisoning of waterfowl is caused by the ingestion of manmade lead artifacts, primarily spent lead shotshell pellets or, occasionally, fishing sinkers. However, in the Coeur d'Alene River basin in Idaho, nonartifactual lead poisoning was the ultimate cause of death of most of 219 (77%) of 285 waterfowl carcasses that had been found sick or dead from 1992 through 1997. The majority of these 219 waterfowl (172 tundra swans [Cygnus columbianus], 33 Canada geese [Branta canadensis], and 14 other species) were poisoned by ingesting river sediment that was contaminated with lead. The next most common cause of death (20 instances, 7%) was lead poisoning accompanied by ingested shotshell pellets. The remaining 46 waterfowl succumbed to trauma, infectious diseases (aspergillosis, avian cholera, tuberculosis), or miscellaneous problems, or the cause of death was not determined.

Southwest Fares ONLY Available On Southwest.com
Posted by Vidya Drego on October 22, 2010

Many you have probably read that Forrester believes that online experiences of the future will be: customized by the end user, aggregated at the point of use, relevant to the device and to the moment, and social as a rule (CARS). We've been seeing a number of companies — Avis, eBay, USAA, Weather.com, and many others — developing experiences that demonstrate attributes of our CARS model today. And we expect to see more and more given trends in consumer behavior, technology development, and the number of potential competitive threats companies face.
All that said, yesterday, I saw a commercial that was decidedly un-CARS-like. One of the things several of us who are thinking about CARS have found is that the A (standing for aggregated) is really a critical attribute. Not only are consumers getting more savvy about the online research they do (using multiple sources), but also the availability of data is allowing them to comparison shop more than ever before and the number of competitors that enable this type of comparison shopping is growing too. What we think this means is that companies' Web sites are no longer going to be the only go-to places to experience their brand — instead, they're going to have to be creative about how their content (or product) is aggregated elsewhere. But I digress . . .
So this commercial from Southwest Airlines wants consumers to know that its fares are ONLY available on its site. In fact, Southwest is so jazzed up about it, it filmed a musical of sorts to convey this idea.
So despite the large and growing number of sites allowing consumers to search for the best flight for a specific set of travel criteria, Southwest expects its consumers to go to its Web site to find their flights. Interesting brand play for a brand trying to be a cost leader. What do you think?
Comment from Nancy Wichmann (not verified) on Fri, 10/22/2010 - 18:56
How much are consumers will to pay for aggregation? One of the ways Southwest can keep their fares low is to not pay the aggregators for the privilege of comparing their prices. This is a holdover from face-to-face time with a travel agent. Southwest didn't pay them either.
That said, I suspect that the aggregators (Priceline, Expedia, etc) could easily add Southwest to their pricing look up if they were willing to do it for free.
The bottom line is that nothing is free. The consumer pays for the company presence, one way or another. Southwest is letting them know that if they want to save money, they have to work a tiny bit harder.
Comment from Vidya Drego on Tue, 10/26/2010 - 12:10
Nancy - great point. My personal feeling (and this is not something I've researched but others like Chris Andersen have) is that consumers are not willing to pay (at least overtly) for services like aggregation meant more to make their lives easier than to provide overt product value.
That said though, cost leaders like Southwest rely on volume to make their profits so it still seems odd to me that they wouldn't consider it important to be in all of the relevant places that people who search for low cost flights would be looking for those flights. Southwest is also aggressively expanding the routes they fly so as they compete more and more on longer routes, they need to capture bargain hunters who might not even be aware that they fly those routes. They do some awareness through traditional and digital advertising but I don't know whether that's as effective as capturing consumers at the point or research or decision making.
I agree that nothing is free and things like advertising and marketing costs eventually come right back into the prices we as consumer pay - it's the choice and effectiveness of traditional channels and how they're combining with digital that I question.
Very interesting
Comment from Julie-Ann Amos (not verified) on Fri, 10/29/2010 - 22:16
Great post and fantastic insights! Southwest most certainly has the right to do what it's doing, but it could backfire on them in the end. If they want to gain the exposure flight search sites offer, this move might hurt them. Still, if they are trying to push people away from those sites and directly to theirs, they could be on the right track. Here's hoping that budget-conscious flyers realize where to go to get the best fares. Otherwise Southwest might need to have its customer service reps read this article (http://www.upyourservice.com/learning-library/customer-service-recovery/...) on managing complaints!

About Me
Hello world! My name is Greg Washington II, and I am a runway/print model from Chicago. I am also a fulltime college student and football player. I am looking to expand my portfolio in many different ways. I love to collaborate with other artistic people like myself. My skin tone is dark and I have a very athletic body. I'm interested in urban fashion, high fashion, casual, athletic, and pretty much anything that can be put together with a creative/artistic flare. I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. I'm my parent's only child. Growing up wasn't easy, but at the same time my parents made sure I had anything possible that they could supply me with. So everything I do in life is geared toward paying them back for all the sacrifices they made for me. Seeing my parents work so hard to maintain our "lower middle class" status has always been fuel to my fire. I have a very keen sense of what hard work really is. I also have the drive and determination to be successful in this industry and whatever else I decide to do. So with all that being said, I'm eager to get out and see the world and expand my horizons.
**Also. I am looking to expand my portfolio ASAP. So any ARTISTIC photographers willing to do TFC, please contact me.

Plus size clothing highlight: Fine Gauge Pointelle Cardigan
Dressing for spring can be difficult. When temperatures vary wildly from day to day, it's tough to know whether to grab a jacket or a t-shirt as you head out the door. This is the time of year when you really appreciate the versatility of a good, midweight layering piece like our Fine Gauge Pointelle Cardigan.
The fine-gauge cotton of this sweater-style top is endlessly soft and smooth to the touch, with a lovely, intricate pointelle knit pattern on the shawl collar. Textured ruffles down the center front and hem create an elegant look, and handy front pockets make this cardigan as functional as it is fashionable. This versatile piece makes a perfect complement to a semi-dressy outfit or a quick throw-on for a chilly morning stroll.

Ask Junonia: What's the secret to your comfy plus size fleece styles?
Dear Ms. Kelly,
Just got an order from Junonia and included were several Regal Fleece items. I bought two styles and they are a very nice, heavy, quality fleece. This is the third order I have made this winter to various companies to buy sweatshirts and I have had to return all of them because they were so puny. I needed winter-weight clothes, and it appears that these may do the trick. These are thick and luxurious. I am hoping that they hold up well after washing too. I'm excited.
It is also lovely to have some fun and brighter colors. I am sick to death of all the large size clothes that only come in teal, fuchsia and plum! I hope you will continue to carry this product and add a couple of dark colors to go with some snappy new colors for next winter. Thank you!
Best wishes,
Hi Irene,
Thanks for your kind words. I'm very glad that you're so impressed with our Regal Fleece! Fleece apparel is always one of our most popular items in the fall and winter seasons, and we think this collection is our warmest and comfiest yet. In my thinking, ideal fleece apparel should be warm enough to wear outdoors in cold temperatures but not too warm to leave on in the house.
Plus size fleece can be especially tricky, because some companies just assume bigger is better when it comes to sweatshirts and the like. We know that our customers want fleece clothing that really fits without being too baggy or bulky, and we keep that idea in mind with all of our outerwear designs.
Thanks also for your color requests. We always like to hear those suggestions from our customers, as we strive to offer colors and styles that can't be found just anywhere. I can't guarantee just yet that we'll have the dark colors you're looking for, but I'll add your idea to our workbook for our next collection.
Many thanks, and keep the questions coming,
Anne Kelly
Founder and Chair

Complete Stats: Through 10/18/09
|Jackie Carron
|Holly Hein
|Amy Klippert
|Haley Kopmeyer
|Kristen Keane
Ms. 6000 -- Just before halftime against Minnesota, senior Amy Klippert (Newport Beach, Calif./Newport Harbor) will become the sixth player in program history to spend 6,000 minutes on the field. Katelin Spencer (2003-06) holds the program record for field players with 7,130 minutes to her credit. Klippert, who has started all 70 games in her career, needs two more starts to match Therese Heaton (72, 2002-05) for 15th place on the all-time starts list.
Defence! -- The Michigan backline has been stout over the last seven games, allowing just four goals since Sept. 16. During the span, which has featured three ranked opponents, the Wolverines are 2-2-3 with four shutouts. It is the best seven-game string defensively since the 2006 NCAA Tournament-bound Wolverines started the season allowing four goals in eight games. The Maize and Blue has faced five of the top 10 scorers in the conference and held each of them out of the goal column. Michigan's next target, Minnesota's Katie Bethke, leads the Big Ten with 11 goals this season.
Zero G and I Feel Fine III -- Sophomore/freshman Haley Kopmeyer (Troy, Mich./Lahser) recorded her fourth shutout of the season against then-No. 22-ranked Indiana (Oct. 18), matching Carissa Stewart (4, 1997) for second on the U-M rookies list. Kopmeyer needs to post one more zero to tie Megan Tuura (5, 2003) for the program record in shutouts by a freshman goalkeeper. Her shutout total is also tied for seventh place on the U-M single-season list.
Home Cooking -- Goalkeeper Haley Kopmeyer is undefeated at home this season, going 3-0-2 with a 0.92 goals-against average. Nine of junior Jackie Carron's (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester) team-leading 10 points have come at the U-M Soccer Complex. Freshman Holly Hein (Castaic, Calif./West Ranch) and Amy Klippert share the team lead with three goals each, all of which have come in the friendly confines. Additionally, Michigan has outscored opponents 14-8 at home this season.
Welcoming an Old Friend to the New House -- Head coach Greg Ryan and associate head coach Dean Duerst will look to exact revenge on the Badgers after their return to Madison was spoiled last season with a 3-1 U-M loss on Oct. 17, 2008. Ryan coached the Badgers to a 108-32-7 record from 1986-93 and reached the NCAA Finals in 1991. Duerst, the UW program leader with 151 wins, succeeded Ryan as head coach from 1994-2006. Ryan is 1-2-0 when facing Wisconsin as an opposing head coach.
Break The Habit -- Michigan is currently embattled in the longest scoring drought of the Greg Ryan era. The Wolverines have not scored in 371:19, dating back to sophomore Meaghan Hennessy's (Westlake, Ohio/Magnificat) second-half goal against Northwestern (Oct. 4). There may be light at the end of the tunnel, however. During the 2007 season, U-M went 469:40, between Sept. 30 and Oct. 20, without a goal before Sarah Banco (2004-07) broke the scoreless streak against Wisconsin in a 2-1 U-M victory.
Help Me, Jackie -- Junior Jackie Carron (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester) needs to add one assist to her six helpers this season to jump on the U-M single-season leaderboard. Four players have tallied seven assists in a season; Amy Sullivant (2001), Jessica Limauro (1998), Mari Hoff (1997) and Debbie Flaherty (1997). Carron's total is the most by a Wolverine since Melissa Dobbyn (2004-07) notched six to lead the Maize and Blue during the 2006 season. Amber Berendowsky (1996-99) owns the program record with 17 helpers during the 1997 season.
On the Big Ten Radar -- Jackie Carron continues to lead the conference in assists with six this season. Holly Hein is one of seven Big Ten players to tally three game-winning goals this season, giving her a share of the league lead. Haley Kopmeyer continued to lead the Big Ten in saves-per-game with 5.45 while jumping up to second in the Big Ten with a .833 save percentage and remained in fifth with 60 stops. [ Complete Big Ten Statistics ]
Let's Build a Stadium -- Michigan's game with Wisconsin will mark the last on the central competition field this season. The team will move back to the west practice field for the final game of the season to allow construction of the new U-M Soccer Stadium to get underway. The competition field has proved a home-field advantage for the Wolverines, who are 4-1-2 on it this season. U-M went 1-1 on the west practice field to end the 2008 season.
Michigan's defense starred as the Wolverines gave up one goal against a pair of ranked opponents last weekend. The Wolverines hammered out a 0-0 tie with No. 22-ranked Indiana on Sunday (Oct. 18) in front of a national television audience on the Big Ten Network. Haley Kopmeyer made five saves in her fourth shutout of the season. Michigan moved the ball well against No. 18-ranked Purdue but fell, 1-0, on Thursday (Oct. 15). Kopmeyer made three saves in the loss.
Every Tuesday, head women's soccer coach Greg Ryan will offer insider access to his program in the rapid-fire Ryan:90 audio podcast.

Pennzoil and Sludge!
Pennzoil and Sludge!
Now I'm trying to find out as much as I can about this old time reputation that Pennzoil was renown for Slugging engines.
I want to collect info from both sides of the fence, the technical info to back up that they don't / or do sludge, and real life experiences from engines builders and the general public.
Of cause, if your one of these people that only change your oil once a year then I would expect it to have a sludge problem over time, but I would like to hear as much as I can from the people that do regular changes and there comments and experiences.
I know there are many people that say, this is imposable with the current standards that oil has to pass and so on, but I'm trying to find out where this myth started form, and if anyone has any first hand experiences, past or present.
So I would be so appreciative of any info at all I can get.
Just out of interest, the first comment I have received:
(I recently spoke with one very well know retired engine builder in the states that is apparently well known among Hot Roders, who told me , that over the years of rebuilding engines, he noticed a common sludge issue with customers that were using Pennzoil oils)
The worst sludged engine I ever tore down was using Pennzoil.
But that was in the 70s
If you don't make mistakes. your not doing anything.

69 ss rs bb camaro wifes driver
66 Elcamino 350/all dz parts,ac,windows,loaded,my driver
69 ss chevelle bb conv.fresh frame off
26 T sedan street rod
Well this isn't very technical but my mom also has an 85 Caprice, hers has 170,000 miles, the last 140,000 she put on it are Pennzoil miles and there is no sludge build up, and that motor runs great, but to be fair the oil gets changed every 3,000-3,200 miles.
I wouldn't be surprised if Pennzoil was more likely to cause sludge build up when driven past normal change intervals, it appears to have more impurities in it than most oils.
Check this forum out, they are dedicated to motor oil.
Any oil will sludge whan it is not changed out on a regular long term basis. My experience is Pennzoil does not sludge any more than any other oil that is abused.
I have never had any sludge problems and I run pennzoil.
from what i know, which is alot more than 36willys on this subject, that reputation came about back when penzoil came from pennsylvania, which it no longer does, because there isnt any oil there anymore.
Pennzoil doesn't cause sludge......................laziness (not changing the oil) does..............................
On the Pennzoil issue. Yrs ago around 72,I got started working on fuel cars.Everyone used Pennzoil,and I noticed that when the oil came out of the engine,it looked like baby you know what when it came out in the drain pan.Also the #3 and #4 Main had to be changed every pass. Now this was when we still had iron blocks with forged cranks,but I noticed that another racer used Valvoline and never had the pan off.the oil looked like oil coming out. I queried him and he said didnt have any probs with mains,unless he got his tune off of course.Now the weights were 60 pennzoil,70 Valvoline.I got 12 qts and put em in and the mains looked gd the next pass.this was with the old pennsylvania based crude.Convinced me!
Bull is partially right. It used to be that if you used PennZoil you needed to stick with Pennzoil, Quaker State, and a couple of other brands that came from that area. The same went with the oils from the Texas / West Coast area. If you stayed with those brands and changed oil on a regular basis you would not have sludge. The biggest factor was changing oil on a regular basis though. The majority of owners would put on twice or more miles than the recommended oil change. Then it was alway said that the Texas based oils were a petroleum base oil and the Pennsylvania oils were a parrafin based oil. The combining of these two oils was not completely compatable and would produce a thicker sludge like base. That combined with past due oil changes only added to the factor. PennZoil got a bad rap around here because it was so popular. People started sswitching to Texas based oils but would throw in some Penn because it was more convenient and on the shelf so when things happened..... But cars have changed drastically, the refinement of oils have changed drastically, and there are very few refineries although there are still a multitude of brands of oil. The largest factor is change oil every three thousand, change the filter at the same time, and your cars engine will last. For just a few bucks every three months you can't ask for better protection.
I have been a Honda Tech for about 10 years.You can always tell when the people have been useing Pennzoil.After taking the valve cover off to adjust the valves.The rocker arms will have a redish color to it.I have seen engines sludged,but as already stated it is always from lack of maintance.
I have to run Pennzoil - have their decal on my Willys - goes with my paint job.
yes cause we would disown you if you had the sticker and didn't use pennzoil
I always heard it was quaker state that caused sludge. I could always tell an engine that used quaker state by the smell.
most any oil will leave sludge thats why i use synthetics last longer, better thermal protection, no sludge buildup
No doubt. I worked with a guy who traveled constantly in a Chevy full sized Van with a 350. Last time I talked with him he had 350k on his original stock engine running Mobile synthetics.

The Green Bay Packers received three field goals from Mason Crosby and took advantage of three turnovers by the New York Jets en route to a 9-0 win at the New Meadowlands on Sunday.
It was the first shutout on the road for Green Bay since it blanked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1991. The Packers shut out the Detroit Lions at Green Bay last year.
Crosby provided all the offense. He hit a 20-yard field goal in the first quarter, a kick which capped a short drive following an unsuccessful fake punt in New York territory.
Crosby also missed a 45-yard field goal late in the first half.
New York's Nick Folk missed a potential game-tying field goal from 37 yards away with 3:44 left in the third quarter and Crosby followed with field goals of 41 and 40 yards in the fourth quarter to seal the contest.
New York turned the ball over three times in the game and all three occurred in Green Bay territory.
The Jets (5-2) outgained the Packers (5-3) by a 360-237 margin in yards.
Mark Sanchez completed 16 of 38 passes for 256 yards with two interceptions. Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers was 15 for 34 for 170 yards.

Hedge fund faces challenge in Tim Hortons shakeup bid
By Euan Rocha and Jessica Toonkel
TORONTO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Highfields Capital, a U.S. hedge fund agitating for change at Tim Hortons Inc, may have a hard time convincing institutional investors that the chain that says it sells eight out of every 10 cups of coffee in Canada needs a wake-up call.
The Boston-based activist investor, with an about 4 percent stake in the company, wants Tim Hortons to boost shareholder returns by taking on new debt to buy back its stock.
It is also pushing Tim Hortons to scale back its U.S. expansion and focus more closely on its thriving Canadian business. The fund, which also outlined a second tier list of demands, wants Tims to spin off or sell its distribution business, create a real estate investment trust to house its property assets and bring in new directors with more financial experience.
On Wednesday, Highfields confirmed an earlier exclusive Reuters report about the proposals, and said it currently owns 6.1 million shares of Tim Hortons. The fund said the company is studying its proposals and it looks forward to continuing a dialogue with Tim Hortons.
But the proposals may not be so easy to sell to long-term investors, according to some money managers and investors.
"This business ain't broke and needs no fixin'," said Barry Schwartz, a portfolio manager at Baskin Financial, which owns roughly 130,000 shares in Tim Hortons, according to Thomson Reuters data.
"The company is shareholder-friendly and has rewarded long-term investors with rising dividends and share buybacks, plus the stock performance since the IPO has been terrific," he said.
The shares have more than doubled in value since an IPO in March 2006, when Wendy's Co spun off Tim Hortons. Continued...

Wild type neocaridina mated with Amano shrimp
I keep diff.types of shrimps.
A few tanks have two types of shrimps that require nearly same water parameters but do not mate.
Yesterday I fed diff.tank inhabitants frozen blood worms (thawed before feeding-its a weekly treat).
Half an hour after feeding this particular shrimp tank which has Wild type neocaridina with Amano shrimps I noticed the ritual mating dance. The neo males were circling crazily.
The amano is a young female who has never carried eggs before had a small egg sack on her back!
Suddenly one of them landed on an Amano female shrimp and mated.:icon_eek:
She's larger compared to the male neo and tried to get him off her but wasn't successful.
I saw him mating with her for a few seconds.
I will wait and see if she has eggs under her swimerette's. Coz if she does get pregnant it will be interesting to see if the baby shrimp/larva survive and how a cross breed bet.amano and wild type neo will turn out!
Has anyone seen or heard about such interbreeding?
I will check today to see if she carries eggs from this mating.
Do you have male Amano shrimp in the tank as well? Amano and neo car. are too different in species to mate. Neos carry the eggs until the tiny fully developed shrimp hatch while Amano shrimp hatch as larvae that have to go through a larval stage in salt water in order to morph into shrimp. I don't see any way the two species could possibly cross breed. That would be like an elephant and a kangaroo crossbreeding.
I have 5 amano shrimps but I'm not sure if there is a male amano as all are young. Only one female developed an egg sack a week ago.
I have wild type neo's above 30 mostly males and they swim quicker than amano's.
May be I'll get a cross bet.elephant and a kangaroo! May be nothing will happen!
Lets wait and watch coz if she gets pregnant I'll see it within 24 hours.
I surely want to see the outcome!
I know there have been crosses with cards and neos, but I think these species would be too different.
Either way, it will be interesting to see how it turns out.
All of my shrimps swim when my female amano molts, tigers, neos, babaultis, other amanos. None have every mated with her though. And seeing as how they have to connect belly to belly I have a real hard time seeing an amano not being able to just take one of her legs and scrape a neo off due to the size difference. And that's what you saw when you say 'mated' right? Belly to belly contact? Cause I've had juveniles attempt to mate many shrimp by landing on their back and hanging on and digging in, for lack of a better phrase. Sadly they didn't get the memo that ain't how mating works.
there is no way for an amano and a neo could breed together, they are 2 different types a low order breeder (larva stage) and high order (mini adult shrimp)
I have to rethink having my dog and cat in the same house... JK
I don't think they will reproduce anything.... not to say successfully raising amano in aquarium is hard to start with.
Meanwhile the Amano female is not carrying eggs under her belly. The egg sack on her back is intack.
Shrimp don't make "egg sacks on their backs".
I think he means saddle. ;)

General Question,
If anyone can please help me out here.
Down past Glouester on Rt 17, in West Point does anyone know when Stripbass Season is in?
I usually fish of the West Point Pier close to the Boat ramp or under the Bridge.
They require a Freshwater Lis.there.
Can anyone tell me when can I catch them and what are the size limits?
Start out with this:
"Spawning reaches" means sections within the spawning rivers as follows:
1. James River from a line connecting Dancing Point and New Sunken Meadow Creek upstream to a line connecting City Point and Packs Point.
2. Pamunkey River from the Route 33 Bridge at West Point upstream to a line connecting Liberty Hall and the opposite shore.
3. Mattaponi River from the Route 33 Bridge at West Point upstream to the Route 360 bridge at Aylett.
4. Rappahannock River from the Route 360 Bridge at Tappahannock upstream to the Route 1 Falmouth Bridge.
OK now for the license line:
Freshwater/Saltwater License Lines on Tidal Rivers
Persons fishing upstream of the designated lines on the following waters must have a valid freshwater fishing license while those fishing below the lines must have a valid saltwater fishing license:
..Potomac River: Route 301 Bridge
..Rappahannock River: Route 360 Bridge
..Piankatank River/Dragon Run: The 1st set of power lines immediately upriver of Anderson Point
..York River System (including the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers): Route 33 Bridges
..James River: A line connecting Hog Point and the downstream point of the mouth of College Creek
Below these designated lines a freshwater or saltwater license will be valid on any tidal portion of any tributary entering the above mainstem waters.
Virginia Trophy Season......................................................................May 1 through June 15
........................................Minimum Size Limit................................................32 inches
........................................Possession Limit.....................................................1 per person
Additional Trophy Season Regulations: Catch Report Required; no possession of 32" or greater striped bass in the Spawning Reaches May 1 through June 15. Trophy Season regulations apply in Virginia's Territorial Sea and the Chesapeake Bay and its Virginia tributary rivers, except for the tributary rivers emptying into the Potomac River (see note below for more information on Potomac River striper regulations).
And Starting Friday.
hesapeake Bay Spring Season .................................................May 16 through June 15
........................................Minimum Size Limit.............................................. 18 inches
........................................Maximum Size Limit * ......................................... 28 inches
........................................Possession Limit.................................................. 2 per person
* 1 fish of the 2 fish possession limit may be larger than 32 inches ( catch report required if striped bass 32" or greater is kept ); No possession of 32" or greater striped bass in the Spawning Reaches May 1 through June 15.
Saltwater limits apply below the fall line. I do not have that location right now. If you really need that let me know and I will try and figure it out.
Thanks, Tom...

High-priced divorce lawyer Jody Stahancyk flounced into Ray's Ragtime on Southwest Morrison last week and plunked down for $1,300 worth of '50s and '60s outfits Ñ which, any way you look at it, is a lot of retro duds. É Could it be that the family law business, as the divorce lawyers would like us to think of it, does especially well during hard economic times? 'No comment,' says Jody. É Too late now, sports fans. But the hotel of choice for most visiting NBA teams this season was the 5th Avenue Suites, downtown at Fifth and Washington.

Yes, our local heroes fell just that short of making NBA history Sunday. But look at the bright side: If they'd won, no one would ever have been able to convince them that marijuana is not a performance-enhancing drug. É 'Betcha can't think of another bar whose name is also a sobriety test,' says local comic Susan Rice, musing on the near impossibility of pronouncing 'McMenamins,' as in the McMenamins pub empire, correctly. 'Only problem is, you could flunk it and still be sober.' É John Callahan's cartoon in the current Willie Week may become a modern classic: The usual walleyed hermit with a placard over his shoulder that says 'The End Is Near' Ñ followed this time by a little guy with his own sign: 'Duh!!' É Well, at least we can laugh about it, can't we?

Co-owners of Nervy Girl, the locally published feminist magazine, have called it quits over what they can only describe as a 'difference in philosophy' between publisher Kristin Schuchman and business manager Letha Tawney. This month's issue will be the last for the engaging publication, which Schuchman started almost three years ago. É And here I thought it was only guys who're willing to go down in flames just to prove a point. É Careful reader Stephen Sasser says that that was a light-rail bridge over the tiny Columbia Slough, not the mighty Columbia River, that Bill Sizemore said would be built only over his dead body. Mr. Sizemore and I both stand corrected, though not for exactly the same reasons.

Next week, when the matter comes before the City Council, it'll be the first time since approximately the invention of the horseless carriage that anyone besides the Portland Business Alliance has had a shot at managing the city-owned SmartPark lots. É 'It was so wired before,' says one knowledgeable insider. 'No one else even tried.' É Count on Vera Katz and Erik Sten to support the upstart Alliance of Minority Chambers against the PBA Ñ which means they're still one vote shy of breaking the longtime monopoly. É Logger Terry Lang, who's injured his back and could use the money, is willing to part with his pet alligator, Elvis Ñ and he's not too proud to let me give him a plug in this column. É When he bought him six years ago, says Terry, Elvis could fit in a little goldfish bowl. Now he's 6 1/2 feet long. É 'Doesn't eat much, though,' says Terry. 'Just two or three pieces of chicken a day. Wintertimes he doesn't eat anything at all.' Hey, just think of all the money you'll save.

CMU Student Found Dead
A student, a senior, reportedly was found dead in his off-campus apartment in the afternoon.
The student newspaper CM Life says the man is not publicly identified, not until his next of kin are notified.
While there is no apparent cause for the death, the newspaper quotes Isabella's County Sheriff as saying "It was not a homicide."

Like i said im new to the forums so please bare with me if any of you gurus could please point me into the right direction i would greatly appreciate it! i know im prob leaving out some info that might help but like i said im not really sure wats going on so please ask me any questions.

Andersen Introduces Architectural Collection
Bringing together its two upper premium product lines, Andersen Windows is introducing the Andersen Architectural Collection of windows and doors. Said to put "the perfect balance of architectural style and imagination in the hands of architects and homeowners," the collection brings together the manufacturer's A-Series and E-Series/Eagle windows and doors.
"The Andersen Architectural Collection of windows and doors is the result of years of research and strategic acquisitions to bring the right products together for our dealers and homeowners," says Jay Lund, president and CEO of the Bayport, Minn.-based company. "Enhancing the buying experience for our customers is a key driver of this with the right tools and fully compatible options."
A-Series products are said to be ideal for those who see themselves in a home with a defined architectural style–whether it's a stately Queen Anne, a bold Modernist design or anything in between. E-Series/Eagle windows and doors, providing nearly infinite options, are targeted at homeowners committed to pushing style to the limit, the manufacturer explains.
"Customers know exactly the kind of house they want to build and live in, but not always how to create it," Lund states. "Our Architectural Collection makes it easier to realize that vision. It helps everyone involved in bringing that dream to life to create a place the customer has always wanted to call home."
The launch of the new collection marks the beginning of the transition of Eagle window and doors to Andersen E-Series/Eagle products, officials note. Andersen acquired Dubuque, Iowa-based Eagle Windows & Doors in 2005. The Eagle product line now will gradually migrate to the new E-Series name.
The company recently launched a YouTube video to introduce the new initiative:

His long, two-run shot into the left-field bleachers tied the score in the eighth inning, and the Cubs scored three more runs to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 Wednesday and end a five-game losing streak. Chicago had dropped nine straight at Wrigley Field.
"It's a huge relief," manager Dusty Baker said. "Now you see what it means to have D-Lee back, to have that big bat in the lineup."
Lee, who came off the disabled list Sunday after missing 59 games with a broken wrist, hit his first homer since April 8, a shot off Dan Kolb (2-2) that started the comeback.
Obviously, after missing so much time, the defending NL batting champ is still feeling his way around the plate and the field. He is 4-for-17 since being activated.
"I don't feel great, honestly, at the plate," Lee said. "But you just keep working and you don't know when good things can happen. I'll keep fighting until I get that rhythm down and get in a groove."
Kolb struck out the next two batters before Jacque Jones singled to left. Ronny Cedeno then blooped a double into shallow right just out of the reach of diving second baseman Rickie Weeks.
Milwaukee right fielder Geoff Jenkins picked up the ball and threw to the plate, but catcher Chad Moeller couldn't come up with it as Jones slid in with the go-ahead run. Henry Blanco followed with a run-scoring triple, and pinch-hitter John Mabry added an RBI double.
"I made a couple of bad pitches and they hit them," Kolb said. Of Cedeno's bloop, he added: "That's the way it's been going for me. Everything went downhill after that."
Milwaukee took a 3-1 lead in the eighth on Bill Hall's 16th homer, a two-out, two-run drive off Bob Howry (3-2).
The Brewers won the first two games of the four-game series, including an 8-5 comeback win in the ninth Tuesday night when two Chicago errors helped them score four runs.
"You can't expect to beat them every day," Hall said. "We got out to a good start. ... We still have a chance to win the series tomorrow."
Ryan Dempster, who blew the save Tuesday night when he and Cedeno made errors, got one this time - his 12th in 16 chances - by pitching a scoreless ninth.
"It's been a struggle for everybody, and me lately, to get in the groove," Dempster said. "I'm still wondering why I didn't do that last night."
Cubs rookie Carlos Marmol allowed just one hit in the first six innings and took a 1-0 lead into the seventh on Juan Pierre's first homer of the season.
Marmol allowed a leadoff double to Carlos Lee in the second and no other hits until Jenkins and Lee hit back-to-back singles with one out in the seventh. After he hit Prince Fielder with a pitch to load the bases, Marmol was replaced by Scott Eyre, who gave up a tying single to Corey Koskie on a 3-2 pitch and then got Moeller to hit into a double play.
In his fourth major league start, Marmol walked two and struck out eight.
Milwaukee starter Dave Bush gave up seven hits and a run in 6 2/3 innings. The lone run came on a rare homer by Pierre in the third.
The Brewers got out of a jam in the seventh after Jenkins lost Jones' high fly in the sun as the ball fell for a double. After Cedeno grounded out and Blanco struck out, pinch-hitter Matt Murton beat out an infield single, putting runners at the corners and chasing Bush. Brian Shouse then struck out Pierre.
Pierre had gone 643 at-bats without a homer -- his previous one came on July 7, 2005, against the Brewers. It was the second-longest homerless streak in the majors behind Houston's Willy Taveras, who hasn't homered in 657 at-bats.
When Lee returned to the dugout after his homer, he had something to say to his friend and former Florida Marlins teammate Pierre: "First thing he said after he hit his home run, `That's how the big boys hit them,"' Pierre said.
Pierre then asked how many at-bats had gone by since his last one.
"640? Wow," he said. "I usually get one every 500, so I got to pick up the pace a little bit."
It was the 10th homer of Pierre's career, including two last season with the Marlins.
- Milwaukee reliever Matt Wise was hoping to pitch soon after being unavailable for two games following a freak accident. Wise got a cut on the middle finger of his right hand when he reached into a bowl Sunday and caught his finger on salad tongs. "I was going after a salad," Wise said.

The breakfast and the service at breakfast.
The hotel was very clean and fresh, the staff was very friendly, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great! The only thing that needs some work is the breakfast food. The breakfast food could be better and another walfle maker would be great as the line was very long.
Anyone with small kids know the value of room to move in a hotel breakfast area. This place has it!
The price was good The first room smelled like smoke. The second room they moved us to smelled like nasty chemicals. Not a great place to stay.
The room was clean and truly smoke free. I wish that they would have a better comforter set on the bed.
Everything seemed fine and clean. The staff was very nice. very hard beds
Lady that worked in kitchen was great!!
Draft coming through steel door that was leading to outside.door was locked up so it should be bricked in to stop draft .rooms need to be remodeled
Found condom wrappers under bed. Breakfast buffet consisted of scrambled eggs, tater tots, & then the regular cereals, bagels, &donuts.
I like everything. It was nice.. Thare Wasent anything I didn't like..
A very comfortable stay! Surprised when installed in at the elegance and furnishings. The outward appearance doesn't due it justice. May need an update to the beds as the mattress was not the most comfortable bit was good.
The staff are very hospitable! Bed was comfortable but pillows too bulky. Temperature was perfect. Very quiet HVAC unit. Short-staffed. Not enough bathroom for the amount of conference attendees. Conference food and water weren't replenished quickly. Conference chairs were uncomfortable. Seating was too crammed and crowded. Too small space for a large group. Need tables to sit stuff down. My quiet room isn't so quiet. There's a family with baby near by, but didn't keep us up ay night. Building seems old but remodeled interiors.
Room was clean Having to park on the other side of the Hotel due to the fact that your snow removal was sub par!
The beds were soft and the tv was nice and big. The bathroom had been redone recently. By far the best water pressure in a shower I have ever had in a hotel. Silly I know but I was so nice! The pool wasn't really for adults but my daughters Loved it and I felt comfortable knowing they could touch the bottom every where in the pool. It only went up to 3'6. The lady a check in was very rude. She was more worried about rushing me threw check in to actually take time to nicely explain where my room was and what not. I was the only guest at the counter at the time so her Rush was unnecessary. The door in our room was hung crooked and had a large gap at the top so I could hear everything that went on in the hallway threw out the night which woke my kids and dogs up quite a few times!
I think when they finish their remodel it will be nicer . I would stay here as last resort. Or press on to Rawlings or stay in Gillette,Wy I didn't link the hammering until 10 at night, and didn't rumble and shaking vibrations of my room until 11 at night. I was told to park in the back then they blocked it off to replace the parking lot surrounded my truck in piles of black top. Just didn't feel like there was good counication between the company and the construction workers in what they are doing and what areas are affected.
Painfully uncomfortable beds and pillows. Insufficient bedding without cranking the thermostat.
No pool for adults.
Friendly, helpful staff Bed was not comfortable and the card keys didn't work for either room the second night.
I felt for the money it work out for us very well. . The Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choices. it was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again. The location and the parking
Friendly staff Dirty. Smelled like smoke
Great front desk help along with great advice on where to get a good beer and burger. Thinner walls allowed a little noise but for great price rooms were clean and decent.
The staff The room was filthy (carpet was dirty, room was non smoking, but you could cut the smoke smell with a knife. Limited eating facilities in the are. Too many pets on premises. The walls between rooms were paper thin.
The pictures online are not what the hotel was. I guess they are remodeling so they used pictures of the new parts of the hotel but said nothing about the remodel on the website. Our room looked like it was out of the seventies and it smelled like that too. The spa was closed the entire time we were there and the pool was freezing cold. The receptionist was rude. And I figured being such a nice hotel there would have been continental breakfast. I should have read the reviews.
Location and price Old and run down. Smelled bad
Not a thing Key cards did not work. I had to go back to the desk three times. They tried to overcharge me by $35. The room was gross. The bathroom was even more disgusting. There was a TV from the 1980s. In fact everything was way out of date. In a scummy location. Grossed out never coming back.
I didn't Like it !! The roads were closed due to weather so I could not get there and I could not cancel my room and get a refund
We arrived late so the young lady was a little unfriendly but the rooms were great.
The breakfasts were amazing and there were a lot of amenities: free wifi, free bottled water, and a free snack bag. The breakfasts changed everyday and were very great. They had a wide variety of food. I would rate this hotel much higher. The carpet was wild colors, but that is very small.
It was clean with lots of extras-teas and hot chocolate, four bath towels without having to ask, a lovely seating area in the lobby, and a great breakfast!
Clean and consistent. The breakfast food and area were also better than expected. The hot tub was out of service
Large room, friendly staff, and good breakfast.
The breakfast was the best ever and they even cooked bacon just because our daughter asked for it, extremely nice front desk help. We will stay her again The pull out couch bed was extremely thin and uncomfortable. They need to replace the mattresses as our daughter found it impossible to sleep.
room was very nice, clean, and staff was good. Excellent breakfast. Our room was right above the entrance and I could hear people coming in during the late evening. The room was a handicap room and needed shower chair.
The complimentary hot breakfast was really good. A great selection and the quality was terrific. Not a thing. I highly recommend this hotel!
My room was clean, comfortable, and very attractive. Loved the shower! It was so great after a day of traveling! The staff was nice, parking was good. Beds were excellent! We did not do breakfast at the hotel. I would have preferred a contental breakfast, but there was only a bistro in the lobby....to purchase breakfast.
Clean, friendly, comfortable and a reasonable value for your money. The Bistro / Bar was only OK stocked and the staff was limited somewhat in what they could prepare for your "after a hard days travel cocktail". Again, nothing that would send you away screaming. While the new Denny's was open next door for a real meal it would have been nice to have had something available in the morning complimentary. Nothing big just the usual fare you find in other establishments of the same caliber.
Location No breakfast bar
Staff was friendly and efficient Hotel is busy due to oilfield crews. Normal noise, disruptions and behavior accompany these types of people. Room smelled of smoke. Price was very high due to the influx of oilfield workers and the ability of the hotels to charge much higher rates. Best advice that I can give is to keep driving and avoid these areas below Buffalo, Wyoming past Wheatland, Wyoming or prepare to pay twice as much for a fair to mediocre hotel room. If you absolutely HAVE to get stuck there, you had better book early or you may find yourself sleeping in your car!
I did like anything it smelt like melee in the room and rotten Eggs and there was mold stains in the room it was horrible
Rooms were clean and priced right No complaints, considering the price.
Clean and comfortable No shampoo,1 washcloth for 2 people. Was told that the only way the prices could be kept low was ro charge guests for wi-fi and if I wanted it free I should have stayed at the Hilton.
Beds are super comfortable!
We went to casper to shop but didn't have any money left in the checking acct. after the holiday express double charged our credit card!! When we talked to the clerk she just said I can't do anything about it you'll have to call back monday. I told her we needed the money so we could go shopping as that is we were in casper for. She didn't even apologize or try to appease us in any way. We called back monday only to have the general manager, X tell us that we should contact our bank and that we just didn't understand how debit cards worked! She continued to try to say it was just the way debit cards worked. I have never had such a bad experience with a hotel EVER!! I still haven't been credited for the two extra charges! DON'T GO!!!! \n \n
The staff that I talked to on the phone about my pills was very helpful in trying to track down my pills and I am very grateful. I left two weeks of medicine in packs, unfortunately, I didn't realize it until 2 days later but there was no record of anyone finding them. There were no drugs that most drugies use mostly diabetic, blood pressure, & colesteral.
This hotel is fully up to HI Express standards that are excellent. Convenient to a wide variety of restaurants, and other services. Everything worked perfectly.
I did not know what to expect when I booked my reservation includung air fare and hotel, other than I had often stayed at Holiday Inn Express facilites in other cities and had, for the most part, been satisfied. But this location is a jewel. It is nearly new, in a very convenient location near the main highways, as well as with easy access to the city of Casper. It is a great hotel and would be perfect for all travelers! I'd definetly return.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Good llocation. Friendly staff. Quick check in No
The bed was wonderfully comfortable. I loved the mattress, as well as the comforter and all the pillows. I didn't much care for the sausage (?) patty at breakfast on Sunday morning. Otherwise the breakfasts were very good.
Room was great, breakfast was awesome! The manager chatted with us for almost ten minutes to determine the quality of our visit and express her interest in our experience.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Friendly staff. Good breakfast selection. Alarm click provided. Not enough towels,wash cloths, complementary shampoo or plug ins
This Hotel offered value for money on our way to Yellowstone NP. It was clean, comfortable,and had everything you might need like a fridge and decent TV. The bed was comfortable too!
The shower was great and the bed real comfy It was loud. I could hear people loudly talking outside and was worried something would happen to my car. People were yelling in the hall and pounding on doors.
Comfortable bed, good wifi, clean room, great value and quick check-in. Everything was fine for the price.
Very friendly staff and pretty decent breakfast
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The free breakfast and afternoon snacks were awesome. The entire atmosphere was very welcoming.
Good breakfast Beds were just ok
Location, breakfast, price Some areas are worn but not a big deal

Sun Tiger Coarse Shaping Stone, Grit 240
Shaping stone with good sharpening qualities. Green silicon carbide abrasive.
King/Sun Tiger
Matsunaga is one of the largest manufacturers of sharpening stones in Japan. In the West, these stones are usually known as King stones or Sun Tiger stones. The stones of the King or Sun Tiger series have a relatively soft bond, which allows the abrasives to be continually exposed during use, making the stone highly effective. These stones are particularly suitable for extremely hard, low-alloy carbon steels (White and Blue Paper Steel). Before use, soak the stones in water for at least 15 minutes. They can also be stored in water permanently. Green silicon carbide abrasive is used for 180 grit. For all other grits aluminium oxide is used.

Whitney Houston's Last Performance
WHITNEY HOUSTON'S final performance wasn't really a performance, per se. On Thursday night, Whitney hit up a Grammy party thrown by Gospel singer KELLY PRICE. And Whitney jumped onstage with her to sing a little bit of "Jesus Loves Me".
(Check out video here.)
Whitney's voice was about as good as it's been the last few years . . . which means not too good. And the rest of the night reportedly didn't go well, either.
RadarOnline.com says Whitney was there with her "supposed" boyfriend RAY J and she was drinking lots of tequila.
Ray J talking to 42-year-old "X Factor" contestant STACY FRANCIS, and Whitney overreacted. "She ran over to them and began screaming, 'This is my man! I'm a cougar!
Kelly Price actually had to help calm Whitney down.
Check out some photos from the night. (Socialite Life)
In 2009, the Guinness World Records cited her as the most-awarded female act of all time.
Her awards include two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards in her lifetime. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide.[
Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits ("Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know", "Greatest Love of All", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go").
She is the second artist behind Elton John and the only female artist to have two number-one Billboard 200 Album awards (formerly "Top Pop Album") on the Billboard magazine year-end charts.
What we Know:
Whitney was found dead in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton on Saturday afternoon. She was only 48 years old. The cause of death hasn't been determined yet.
An autopsy was performed yesterday, the results of toxicology tests won't be available for several weeks. Even the preliminary results are being kept under wraps.
TMZ reports that Whitney was discovered in the bathtub with her face underwater and her legs up, as if she had slid down while sitting back in the tub.
A stylist, a hairdresser and two bodyguards were in Whitney's room at the time. They started becoming suspicious when they realized Whitney had been in the bathroom for over an hour.
There's early speculation that Whitney overly-sedated herself by mixing Alcohol with Xanax and drowned. Sources say Whitney was drinking pretty heavily on Friday, the night BEFORE her death.
Sources also claim that police found the sedatives Lorazepam, Valium and some kind of sleep medication in Whitney's room. Sources say Beverly Hills police found several prescription pill bottles in Whitney's hotel room. But there was no evidence of illegal drugs.
Sources say that Whitney's mom, singer CISSY HOUSTON, spoke with Whitney on the phone just a half an hour before her death, and didn't think anything was wrong. Her cousin DIONNE WARWICK also spoke with her that day.
Her music is selling:
As of last night, Whitney's "Greatest Hits" album was the top seller on both iTunes and Amazon .
The official sales week ends on Sunday . . . and there are estimates that the album may have sold around 50,000 copies from the time of Whitney's death. Meanwhile, Whitney's single "I Will Always Love You" hit #1 on iTunes . . . and 41 of her songs were among the top 200 sellers on iTunes last night.

Aspen digs out from storm
February 22, 2010
ASPEN – Three straight powder days on local slopes have inspired various powder deals for roughly the next two weeks, the Aspen Skiing Co. announced Monday, as the resort began digging out from beneath the bounty.
The weekend storm deposited some 2 feet of snow at Aspen-Snowmass and snow continued to fall off and on Monday in Aspen. Snow shovelers and city plows were out in full force Monday morning under clearing skies before another squall moved in during the afternoon.
The storm, which rolled into the Colorado mountains Friday and brought wave after wave of snow throughout the weekend, apparently saved the best for last, at least in Aspen.
Aspen Mountain reported 11 inches of new snow over the past 24 hours early Monday, while Aspen Highlands picked up another 10 inches. Snowmass had 9 inches and Buttermilk reported 7.
Elsewhere around the state, Powderhorn also reported 10 inches over the past 24 hours. The other big numbers were posted by southwest Colorado resorts that were hammered all weekend. Silverton Mountain reported 18 inches, Wolf Creek reported 17 inches and Telluride picked up another 11 inches.
The freshies may return later in the week, according to the National Weather Service, which is calling for partly sunny skies Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs of 25 to 35. A chance of snow returns to the forecast Wednesday night. There is a 30 to 40 percent chance of snow throughout the rest of the week in the Aspen area, according to the weather service.
To entice locals to take advantage of the snowfall, the Skico is rolling out discounts for Flex Pass holders, offering extra days of skiing for $29 instead of $49, and to Classic Pass holders, who can pay $49 instead of $79 for extra days of skiing or riding. The discounts are being offered from Feb. 23 to March 7 and the days must be used by March 7. Premier Pass holders can get a free equipment demo at any Four Mountain Sports shop during the promotion.
In addition, one restaurant at each local mountain is offering the "Powder Hound Special" to all season pass holders – $8 for a burger and a Budweiser or soda at the Sundeck on Aspen Mountain, Ullrhof at Snowmass, Merry-Go-Round at Highlands and Cliffhouse at Buttermilk.
Finally, the Skico will again offer vouchers to pass holders that are good for 50 percent off the price of a lift ticket. The promotion begins March 1, about three weeks earlier than it did last season. Premier Pass holders can collect four vouchers; those who have other ski passes are eligible for two vouchers. Pass holders can use the vouchers to get family members and friends a discounted lift ticket.

Album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' Arctic Monkeys 2006
Wake up to this album and I'm sure you will have a great morning or a sore head!
So the day after Wireless I went to Feastival at Clapham Common, and saw Jamie Oliver in action. Yes that is Johnny Vaughan looking slightly nervous about helping Jamie cook courgette flowers, also joined by greedy Italian Gennaro Contaldo. These guys were so much fun to watch, they were just having a laugh on stage, taking nothing too seriously.
Jamie talks to you like you are cooking with him and that's why he has so many followers, what you see is what you get. A down to earth guy with easy and honest recipes you can cook.
The restaurant stalls that were there served amazing dishes and I had to walk around a few times before I made up my mind. Jamie supports all of them and the staff at behind every table were happy and passionate about what they were doing.
So all in all a great weekend...
Good food
Good music
Good friends
Oh this is what I had for lunch on Saturday, a chicken korma pie with berry compote.
By Benares Restaurant, chef Atul Kochhar was in the background and I got a smile from him :)
Have a great day

text: Johannesburg - New Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund is adamant the national team will play an exciting brand of football with him in charge. Igesund was appointed as Pitso Mosimane's successor last month, but has been accused of enforcing 'skop and donner' styled football over the years. However, the coach believes his tactics have been misinterpreted, and says he has only ever played to the strengths of the players at his disposal during his tenure as a coach. "Unfortunately people have said over the years that 'Gordon plays skop and donner football' and according to them that's how I won the league championships, but to be fair I have always played to the strength of my players," Igesund, who has earned four PSL titles with four different teams, told Football411. So what can we expect from the South African national team with the former Moroka Swallows boss in charge? "We need to play a little differently from the past years. We must identify a style of play for South African football," he said. "We got into a situation, using Carlos Alberto Parreira as an example, and he wanted to play the Brazilian style of football without wingers and using the full-backs to attack. But we haven't got those type of players. We don't have the players Brazil have got so we've got to play to our strengths; we have to go wide. "I think our strength is keeping possession, so any type of system you use you've got to keep possession. We need to get wide and attack, not sit back and play counter-attack football. We have to identify our style and stick to it. We can't keep changing." Bafana had been on a dour run of results prior to former coach Mosimane's sacking, but the 56-year-old Igesund is confident he can turn around the fortunes and return the team to a respectable standing in Africa. "I'm well aware of the challenges that lie ahead, but I'm confident we can achieve a lot with the people I will work with in the Bafana team," he added "Bafana need to start winning games; we need to start qualifying for competitions." Meanwhile, Igesund has apparently identified Andre Arendse, Augusto Palacios and Neil Tovey to serve in the technical team, with Orlando Pirates coach Palacios and Thanda Royal Zulu tactician Tovey earmarked for part-time roles.

Congressman Thompson Votes to Pass the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
Today, U.S. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (MS-02), made the following statement regarding his vote for H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus Package), to create good-paying jobs; make investments in America's future; and cut taxes for working families.
"This stimulus package is a first step towards addressing our national economic woes and in Mississippi, an unemployment that has climbed to more than 8 percent. This bill is specifically designed to help workers train and find jobs, and help struggling families make ends meet. Like any bill, it is imperfect - but it is desperately needed to pull America out of this recession.
The stimulus effort will make large investments to repair and modernize thousands of miles of roadways in Mississippi, and invest in water infrastructure. For Mississippi, this will provide $415,257,720 to invest in these key infrastructure projects that are ready to go and will begin to create jobs for Mississippians right away.
As a down-payment on permanent middle-class tax cuts promised by President Obama, the plan includes tax cuts that will jumpstart the economy by returning money to the hands of 95% of American workers, including 1,000,000 families in Mississippi with the "Making Work Pay" Tax Credit. Expanding the Child Tax Credit will help the families of 210,000 children in Mississippi.
In Mississippi, the Stimulus Bill means $637,062,000 to prevent teacher layoffs and other cutbacks and $248,665,000 to modernize our schools and colleges, which will create good- paying jobs.
It will take time to turn this economy around, but we are confident that if Americans work together, we can overcome the economic crisis, just as we have tackled other great challenges in our nation's past."

text: MIDDLETOWN, Pa., Jan. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Lottery's Millionaire Raffle has created four new millionaires. The selection of four $1 million raffle ticket numbers and four $100,000 raffle ticket numbers was televised live on the Lottery's drawing show earlier this evening. The four $1 million top-prize raffle ticket numbers selected were 00158528, 00023446, 00075876, and 00222718. The four $100,000 second-tier prize raffle ticket numbers selected were 00312400, 00055244, 00441075, and 00025999. The remaining 5,992 winning raffle ticket numbers for third- and fourth-tier prizes were selected, but were not televised due to time constraints. Players may check winning numbers beginning tonight at palottery.com and at retailers. Winning raffle ticket numbers will be listed on the Lottery website by prize category in ascending order. In addition, every Lottery retailer has a ticket checker that permits players to scan their own tickets and find out if they are winners. To be considered a winning ticket, the eight-digit number on a Millionaire Raffle ticket must exactly match a winning number selected in the raffle drawing, and all digits must appear in the same sequence as the winning number.
