" Artist: Aly and Aj / Audio CD released 2007-10-22 at Angel "
I can honestly say that I have no idea why I came across this Californian duo. For some irregular reason, I can remember I was watching the ridiculous American disaster known as 'My Super Sweet 16'. I simply do not know what came over me, so please do not hold this against me, I am open to repent my sins. For those who have been blessed with no knowledge of this show, it is basically a documentary about Americas most spoiled children as they spend literally thousands of dollars on parties for their sixteenth birthday. Each of the tantrum fuelled acne advertisements always get what they want, with money never being an option, due to their mega rich parents. Due to its repeated playing on MTV, I do wonder if it is just me, but surely not, it's pathetic!
Anyway, the episode I happened to catch featured a song from a rather pleasant sounding teenage voice, followed by another, singing a song which, for me, I was quite amazed that I like. With some of my favourite bands including The Prodigy, Pendulum, Maximo Park, Avenged Sevenfold, and No Doubt, not for one minute did I think I could be entertained by such a duo of teenage sisters.
I decided that miracles do happen, so checked out their Wikipedia page and was amazed to see that, at the time, they had released three albums! I certainly had never heard of them, and neither had any of my friends, most of whom still do not know of them. I was therefore not surprised to see that I had to request dooyoo make this a reviewable product, but I wanted to make it available, so I could write and hopefully spread the magic of what I heard.
I got the album a few days after I heard them, as I felt this was the best way to reach a sufficient analysis, and having already listened to and enjoyed a couple of songs from youtube, I thought it would be money well spent. It was.
At nearly 43 minutes, it is an averaged size album, but each of the songs brings something to the disc, and collectively, is a really good production that I find myself listening to quite a lot.
The first song is a pop tune with an interesting backing. Potential Break Up Song is arguably their most famous song which is worthy of such a role. Intelligent drum work makes for an exciting backing which can be followed throughout, and the voices can be heard as instruments rather than just noises. It is a lively and upbeat song that will get you going and eagerly anticipating the rest of the album. I like the chorus, but love the verses, as they seem to offer an aspect not often seen in pop, almost rock sounding if you will.
Bullseye has a great opening with guitar and voice only. Actually, looking back, this is quite a rock sounding tune, and although their voices send this to the pop category, it could be enjoyed by people who usually find themselves listening to rock music. Again, I enjoy the fast pace of the song, and also the addition of the break shortly after half way. For a few bars, the lines are repeated in a talking tone, and followed by more heavy guitar work, both of which seem to contrast yet actually make for a great song.
Closure is a tune which is a little more down to earth. This is what you would see as a light pop song, though it does have some excellently catchy lyrics throughout. The music does not blow me away, nor does the way they offer their singing talents, but you seriously will have the lyrics stuck in your head for days after hearing. A particular favourite line of mine is 'I used to wear your shirt to bed, but now it's in the trash instead', don't know why, it just seems to amuse me in some way. Strange that.
Division, or ÷, to give it its proper title, is sadly not one of the greatest songs to come from the girls. Far too slow for my liking, it does not have the astonishment of lyrical genius to pull the song up from the bargain buckets. I guess most albums have one track which is enjoyed less than the others, so it seems that this is such song.
Like it or Leave it has a very catchy and bouncy opening that I enjoy rather much. Fast paced, and electric, I would say I am entertained by a track of this quality, especially as it hosts a brilliant chorus, which is one of the greatest pop choruses around. I think one of the reasons I love this track is that you cannot help yourself from 'bouncing' to it, no matter where you are! After about 2 minutes, the girls seem to sing in hyper speed, no - not in a rave way, but just very quickly, which is a great addition to the song and helps offer a different angle from the piece.
Like Whoa is a song I find myself not bowled over by. Too slow for any brilliance really, to begin with, it is not greeted with the same quality of chorus that could have rescued it somewhat. I like the interesting sounding electronic feel to the music, but that is about it really.
Insomniatic, the title track, is slow, yet I find myself under enjoyment from it. I love the guitar participant, and though slowly sung, the lyrics are quite entertaining. This is not a song I would recommend as one to introduce the sisters to somebody, but is a great little number for those who have already decided they enjoy the music by them.
Silence, starts with an interesting sound that reminds me of O.M.D or A-Ha, musically anyway. When the singing is introduced, I can hear some strange sounds, which remind me of something a whale would listen to, and the singing has not a lot of backing throughout, probably having something to do with the name of the track. It's a good addition to counter balance the fast paced music of some of the other songs on the album. I think it could lend itself to being classed as a relaxing tune if ever there was one.
Talented yes, but not my favourite by any means.
If I could Have You Back brings back the upbeat rockiness sounding music we heard towards the start of the album. I like the music, and love the lyrics. This is one of the songs which display the girls' singing talents. Again, I find myself readily admiring the chorus, which is obviously not a bad thing. I enjoy how it seems to have almost an electronic feel to the voices, great song!
Flattery. Not the most played song on my iPod, but skilful in its own right. Not one of my sacred few songs, but this rendition would be liked by somebody who enjoys depth and meaning to lyrical content.
I'm Here, has a relaxing, slow piano played opening, which (bar the bonus track) ends the album in style and etiquette. Rather like the above song, in the way that it shows no speedy pace, or heavy instrumentals, sadly which, are two of the main things I look for. A song you will enjoy if you prefer the above over some of the others.
My version of the album ended with track 12, and a remix of the song called Chemicals React. This just happens to be a fantastic masterpiece, and definitely one of the better songs to come from these two teenagers. I generally love the music, and the lyrics, both of which are of high quality and go together like nothing else! Very fast paced and electric, it adds a few ounces of rock, and mixes them with good pop, before twirling them together to introduce some brilliantly talented voices. A fantastic way to end the album!
Should you get this far into the review, you will undoubtedly feel my bias towards the greatness of this whole album, and I am not just saying it for the sake of speech (and typing skills). I really do feel it is a great album, and can be enjoyed by an open mind, as long as you give it a fair chance.

The senior attacker leads the nation in points with 120. DePompeo's illustrious career has been one for the record books, as she's saved her best for last this spring. Her ability to find the back of the net for Coach Timchall has been extraordinary, but it is her team-leading 65 assists that have been the difference for Navy this spring.
Caroline Rehfuss, Princeton, Defense (Sr.)
The senior defender was a First Team All-Ivy selection this spring and has been an instrumental part of the Tigers defense since her freshman year. Rehfuss, Princeton's top 1v1 defender, leads the team in caused turnovers with 18.

Winner vs. No. 3 North Carolina (Sunday, 1 p.m.)
The Breakdown
Loyola (10-8) travels to Chapel Hill this weekend to face-off with the Big South champion, High Point, this evening. High Point, also 10-8 on the season, earned the automatic bid into tournament play while Loyola received one of the 13 at-large bids during Sunday's NCAA selection show. The winner of this evening's contest will advance to take on another at-large selection Sunday afternoon.

Winner vs. No. 1 Maryland (Sunday, 12 noon)
The Breakdown
CAA champion Towson and America East winner Stony Brook will square off this evening in College Park in one of the most anticipated first round games of the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers, 10-8, earned the automatic bid in last weekend's CAA Tournament behind a strong defensive effort over Hofstra University. Stony Brook (16-2), the America East Tournament winner, is coming off a dominating offensive performance against Albany. The victor of this evening's first round game will face the tournaments No. 1 seed, undefeated Maryland.
Players To Watch
Alexa Demski, Towson, Defense (Sr.)

The freshman standout is off to quite the start in College Park for head coach Cathy Reese. Cummings has 48 points (39 G, 20 A) on the season and currently leads Maryland's draw control charge with 81. Maryland has become notorious with developing some of the nation's top midfielders and Cummings has emerged as the player to lead the Terp charge in the post-Katie Schwarzmann era.
Notre Dame vs. Stanford (Friday, 8 p.m.)
Winner vs. No. 2 Northwestern (Sunday, 2 p.m.)
The Breakdown

The winner of this New England showdown will face Syracuse on Sunday afternoon.
Players To Watch
Hana Bowers, Dartmouth, Attack (Sr.)

Players To Watch
Maggie McCormick, Penn State, Attack (So.)

Lauren Terracciano, UMass, Attack (Sr.)
The senior attacker has played a key role for this UMass team during her final season in Amherst. A lethal left-handed scorer, Terracciano's boasts a very balanced 57 points (34 G, 23 A) on the year.
Penn vs. Virginia (Friday, 3 p.m.)
Winner vs. No. 6 Georgetown (Sunday, 1 p.m.)
The Breakdown
Two teams that have battled their way through the 2013 regular season, Virginia (9-9) earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament this spring and Penn (11-5) has won 11 of their last 13 games, including an undefeated stretch through the Ivy League and an Ivy Tournament title.

Players To Watch
Meg Markham, Penn, Defense (So.)
The Quakers defensive leader, Markham was a First Team All-Ivy selection this spring. The sophomore plays a fundamental role in Penn's tough defensive scheme and has been key in their draw control (32 DC) game, as well. A defender who has been instrumental in Penn's Ivy title run, Markham is the Quakers top matchup defender.
Caroline Tarzian, Georgetown, Attack (So.)
The sophomore leader for Georgetown had a quiet weekend in the BIG EAST Tournament, but she's been instrumental in the Hoyas success this spring. Her team-leading 34 goals and 47 points earned her BIG EAST conference accolade this year. Shooting at nearly 60% accuracy, Tarzian's ability to finish will be key this weekend.

American economy bounces back from brutal winter
WASHINGTON — The American economy shrugged off the end of a brutal winter last month, rebounding with the biggest hiring surge in two years and suggesting that the job market's gains could endure.
Employers added 288,000 jobs across industries from manufacturing to construction to accounting. Even local governments hired. The unemployment rate sank to 6.3 percent, its lowest point since 2008, from 6.7 percent.
But the rate fell that far because many fewer people began looking for work in April, thereby reducing the number of unemployed. The proportion of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one dropped to a three-decade low.
And the monthly employment report the government released Friday showed that worker pay has yet to pick up — evidence that the job market has not fully recovered.
Yet April's robust hiring gains suggested that the economy is returning to the solid pace of growth it achieved in the second half of 2013, before it was hammered by a harsh winter. Job growth has averaged 203,000 a month in the past six months, similar to last year's average of 194,000.
Analysts said the economy is facing fewer hurdles now. In addition to better weather, growth is no longer held back by steep government spending cuts, which slowed growth in 2013. Many companies had also stockpiled too many goods last fall, forcing them to cut back in the first quarter to clear their shelves.
"The absence of these factors is finally allowing the economy's underlying strength to come to the surface," said Bart Van Ark, chief economist at the Conference Board. "The result is not just a relatively strong gain in jobs in April but probably more of the same in May and June."
Explorys, a health-care data provider, has ramped up hiring in the past six months as more hospitals have used its services to limit their costs. Explorys' software can analyze patient data to predict which ones are most likely to need follow-up visits at home to prevent any complications.
The Cleveland-based company has added about 30 people in the past six months, bringing its staff to about 140.
"We need more software developers, data analysts and data scientists," says CEO Steve McHale. "The economy's improvement has served us well."
April's solid job growth wasn't enough to boost stock prices. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 48 points in afternoon trading.
The unemployment rate is now at the lowest level in 5½ years. It's fallen far enough that economists are anticipating the key next step in an improving job market: higher pay. In the past, when employers have had to draw from a smaller pool of unemployed people, they've typically been forced to offer higher pay.
That hasn't happened yet. And analysts differ about when pay might pick up.
Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, noted that the unemployment rate is near its seven-decade average of 6.1 percent. At that point, "you've typically seen wage and inflation pressures build," LaVorgna said. "And I see no reason why it won't happen this time as well."
Higher prices and rising incomes could also eventually force the Federal Reserve to more quickly withdraw its efforts to spur borrowing, spending and growth by holding down interest rates.
Economists note that one-third of the unemployed have been out of work for six months or longer, and recent research suggests that many of them aren't being seriously considered by employers. If so, that would mean employers are competing for a smaller pool of available workers than the unemployment rate suggests and might have to raise pay soon.
Many of the long-term jobless stopped looking for work last month. Their ranks fell 300,000 — the sharpest drop in 2½ years — to 3.5 million.
But many other economists, likely including Fed Chair Janet Yellen, point to factors suggesting that there are still a huge number of Americans desperate for full-time work. The number of people working part-time jobs who would prefer full-time positions, for example, rose by 50,000 last month to 7.5 million.
These economists aren't as willing to count out the long-term jobless. They argue that faster economic growth would encourage more employers to hire them.
"It's amazing what good labor markets can do to pull people out of the woodwork and back into jobs," said Diane Swonk, an economist at Mesirow Financial.
Average hourly wage growth was flat in April, suggesting that unemployment is still too high to force pay up.
Hiring last month was broad-based and included some higher-paying jobs: Manufacturing gained 12,000, construction 32,000. Professional and technical services, which include accounting and engineering positions, added 25,100 jobs. The number of government jobs grew 15,000, mostly at the local level.
The jump in hiring comes after a spate of other data showed that the economy is improving. Consumers are ramping up spending, businesses are ordering more goods and manufacturers are expanding. The strengthening numbers show that harsh snowstorms and frigid cold in January and February were largely to blame for the economy's scant growth at the start of the year.
The economy barely expanded from January through March, eking out an annual growth rate of just 0.1 percent, down from a 2.6 percent rate in the final three months of 2013.
Other data indicate that the economy was already rebounding in March and probably improved further in April. Consumers bought more cars and spent more at shopping malls. Overall consumer spending soared in March by the most in 4½ years.
All told, the positive news has led most economists to forecast a strong rebound in economic growth — to a 3.5 percent annual rate in the current April-June quarter. And growth should reach nearly 3 percent for the full year, up from 1.9 percent in 2013, they expect.
The increased hiring provided a personal victory for Christopher Dickey, 41, who received a job offer just this week from Comcast. This month, he'll begin work as a sales executive in Savannah, Georgia.
It will be Dickey's first job with benefits in more than four years. He had lost a position at Merrill Lynch in 2008 after the financial crisis erupted. Since then, he's worked as a self-employed insurance salesman, earning only commissions.
The new job pays less than his previous positions in financial services. But "it's the best offer I've had in the past 4½ years," Dickey said.

Baccarat is a table game that originated in Italy in the 14th Century.
Baccarat is the casino game that offers you the chance to bet on all possible outcomes, making it not only fun to play but profitable too. During the game you have the option to bet on either the "Player," the "Banker" or on the possibility of a "Tie" between the two.
The terms "Player" and "Banker" do not refer to the house or actual player which gives you the choice of wagering on either to profit. The game is based on a simple system of scoring and the winning hand is the one with the highest score (9 is the highest possible combination of cards).
|A hand is calculated by adding the value of the cards dealt as below:
|Cards 2-9: face value
|Face cards (J, Q, K): 0
|Aces: 1 point
All hands worth more than 10 are subject to modulo (remainder) of 10. For example a hand of 5 + A = 6 but a hand of 4 + 6 = 0 (modulo 10). This is the lowest hand possible and gives the game its name: Baccarat. All hands will automatically be scored in-play as each card is dealt making it easy to follow the action. Practise playing and the scoring quickly becomes second nature.
All winning hands pay out at 2:1 and a bet on a Tie will reap odds of 8:1. Baccarat is well known as the casino game with one of the lowest House advantages, giving you the opportunity to reap big potential rewards. Start playing today and discover why players around the world have made Baccarat their casino game of choice.

Ummm I see your point, Sorry I have no clue really about Javascript.
Have you tried on a site like Phpfreaks.com, there usually very quick in helping with things like this.
a brother from another mother!
Do you know when you hover over the "Texte" link in the navigation it changes to "text"?
ah… it might be easier using PHP .
Try: http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/PHP-MySQL-database-search/416
I sent me friend my referral link to ThemeForest, so he went there and added $20 credit to his account.
However if I look on my statement there has been nothign added to my account?
Do I need to activate the referral system? Is there a waiting period?
I have contacted ticket support a few days ago about this issue, however I have had no reply as of yet. I just want to make sure I have not done anythigng wrong.
Thanks Sean
The design I am doing at the moment is this….
Is this good enough to be a "PSD only" design or would it need to be coded with its Javascript banner scroller (in the main block at the top) and CSS ?
Thank you again. Sean
Thank you everyone for your reply.
I think I will give PSD a shot again once my design is complete.
Thanks Sean
I recently submitted a PSD template, I have seen other designs on TF that are far worse, however it was declined.
I have since done some research into current designs in the directory, and it seems your more likely to be accepted if you code and complete your design.
Am I correct?
Of course it still needs to be of a good quality and in my and many others opinion it was. Please don't see this as a complaint.
I'm doign a new design at the moment, however is it best to submit it as a PSD to confirm its quality first or wait untill its fully coded?
Sean P.S sorry for the spelling mistake in the thread title

Eberhard Mock. He's a bit of a character. Epicure, classicist, bon viveur, hedonist, not exactly the ideal husband, equally at home in the underworld as in the ranks of authority, he is without doubt the most outrageous and original detective in the wide world of crime fiction. And he's back . . .
Marek Krajewski, his creator, was born in Wroclaw and worked for many years as a lecturer in Classical Studies at the city's university, before turning to crime writing with the Eberhard Mock Investigations. He draw on the city's rich and dark recent history in framing his larger than life detective: Wroclaw was known as Breslau and was part of Germany until 1945, when it was given to Poland under the terms of the Potsdam Conference.
The first Eberhard Mock Investigation to be published in English was Death in Breslau, set in 1933, the year the Nazis swept to power. Breslau was known as a stronghold of left-wing liberalism in the pre-war days of the German Empire, but by 1932 it had become a key supporter of Hitler's upstart party.
The End of the World in Breslau, published in English a year later, is set in 1927, the licentious heyday of the short-lived Weimar Republic, before the Wall Street Crash put a stop to the American loans that had funded the hedonism.
Phantoms of Breslau (2010) takes us to 1919, with Germany still numbed by defeat, influenza and the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Eberhard Mock, at this stage but a lowly Criminal Assistant, finds himself quite literally haunted by his wartime sins.
The Minotaur's Head is a departure from the three previous novels. For one thing, the title does not include "Breslau", which is quite fitting as it is the only novel of the four not to be set there. A particularly vicious murder leads Mock (now in 1939 an Abwehr Captain) to Lwów – now Lviv and part of Ukraine, then a Polish city – where a number of similar cases have been reported. In Poland it is his privilege to work with Commissioner Popielski, a fellow classicist who relies on a particularly unorthodox method of deduction. But by the end of the whole affair, a particularly sordid case even by Mock's standards, it is his underworld connections that get the job done.
All the artwork for the Eberhard Mock Investigations comes courtesy of Andrzej Klimowski, a graphic artist who lectures at the Royal College of Art. His work includes the amazing graphic novel version of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. We are planning to give away one full set of Eberhard Mock hardbacks, the last in captivity, signed by the author himself, and, now that I think of it, perhaps the artist too. The details will be announced in our next newsletter. Sign up to be in it to win it.
The Minotaur's Head is available in Hardback

Myanmar state media details new foreign investment law
By Aung Hla Tun
YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar's new foreign investment law allows overseas firms to fully own ventures and offers tax breaks and lengthy land leases, state media said on Saturday, releasing details of legislation passed by parliament this week after a long delay.
The law, approved by President Thein Sein on Friday, had gone back and forth between the legislative and executive branches since March in a tussle involving a government eager to attract foreign investment, tycoons determined to protect their monopolies, and small businesses keen not to be shut out.
Thein Sein took office in March 2011 at the head of a quasi-civilian government that brought almost 50 years of military rule to an end.
He has undertaken economic and political reforms that have persuaded Western countries to suspend sanctions and prompted an upsurge of interest in the country from multinational firms, which see potential in Myanmar's abundant resources and a primitive, low-cost economy bordering India and China.
Most major firms have been waiting to see the new law before committing significant funds.
The details in Myanmar-language state newspapers said joint ventures between foreigners and Myanmar citizens or the government would be permitted with any stake ratio agreed between the partners.
Foreigners can still own 100 percent of businesses without the need for a local partner, as in the previous law dating from 1988. But there could be restrictions in some areas.
A previous draft had said foreigners would only be able to hold a maximum 50 percent of a firm in certain sectors deemed sensitive, including agriculture, and that foreigners would have to hold at least 35 percent of any start-up joint venture. Continued...

Actor Jude Law and musician Damon Albarn condemned charges of piracy against 30 Greenpeace activists following an Arctic oil rig protest as "ludicrous" as they joined worried relatives in a vigil outside the Russian Embassy.
Both men, along with Paul Simonon of the band The Clash, said the arrests were an international disgrace and a personal blow as they are friends with detainee Frank Hewetson.
Law said he was "exercising my right to peacefully protest" as he joined around 800 people at the central London vigil.
It is part of several being held across Britain and in 47 countries in support of the 30 people, including six Britons, who are now in Russian custody. The aim is to keep the pressure on the Russian authorities.
The Russian coast guard seized the ship Arctic Sunrise and everyone on board following the September 18 protest at the offshore platform owned by Russia's state-controlled energy giant Gazprom in the Pechora Sea.
The activists are now in custody in the northern city of Murmansk.
Law, whose children went to school with Mr Hewetson's, said: "I am just adding my face and body to the mass of support.
"The fact that there is a threat of conviction did not put them off.
"What is ludicrous is that they have been charged with piracy which has a threat of 15 years in prison.
"Of course I am worried about Frank because I care about his family and I care about him but I know that he is incredibly durable.
"I think that it is very interesting that the people over there probably knew there would be an arrest involved and the threat of a conviction is probably part and parcel of the act of drawing attention to the drilling in the Arctic which we all know is an international problem which needs confronting."
Protesters stood quietly behind banners declaring "Free the Climate Defenders", "Journalist and Not Pirate" and "Free The Arctic 30".
British freelance videographer Kieron Bryan and UK activists Mr Hewetson, Philip Ball, Alexandra Harris, Anthony Perrett and Iain Rogers have been charged over the protest.
To charge them with piracy is "ridiculous", Albarn said.
"It does seem to be a slightly different idea in Russia's collective head about what activism actually represents.
"Nine times out of 10 people who protest peacefully, whether it is through music or through trying to scale oil rigs, are doing it because they believe they are saying something that will ultimately benefit society as a whole.
"You have to remember that when the Russian government talks with this kind of rhetoric, it is actually being anti-humanitarian. And that is a shame because we put people in power to look after us presumably, but unfortunately rarely do they."
He went on: "I want to express my support for Frank, his family and all the other families because at the end of the day this is a very human thing.
"There are people who are terribly worried about their loved ones.
"Everyone is concerned because it is Russia and they have a very bad record of bowing to international pressure.
"They need to understand that these people are not a threat. This is something that is very human. It is not a political issue."
Simonon said: "This is a protest to show support. There is no reason why it could have been called piracy. "I am here to show my support to Greenpeace and the families."

Preparing Mars Science Laboratory Heat ShieldTechnicians at Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, prepare the heat shield for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, in this April 2011 photo. With a diameter of 4.5 meters (nearly 15 feet), this heat shield is the largest ever built for a planetary mission.
The heat shield was delivered to NASA Kennedy Space Center, Fla., on May 12, 2011, together with the mission's back shell and cruise stage.
Mars Science Laboratory will launch in late 2011. The mission's rover, Curiosity, will land on Mars in August 2012. It will study whether an intriguing area of Mars has offered environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life and for preserving evidence of whether life existed there.
The heat shield and back shell together form the aeroshell, which will encapsulate and protect Curiosity from intense heat and friction generated during descent through the Martian atmosphere.
This view shows the inner surface of the heat shield, where technicians are installing electronics of an instrument for collecting data about temperature and pressure during descent through the atmosphere. This instrument is the Mars Science Laboratory Entry, Descent and Landing Instrument (MEDLI). It was developed by NASA's Langley Research Center, Hampton, Va., in partnership with NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif.
The white area below the center of the heat shield in this view will serve for calibration of the mission's Mars Descent Imager as the heat shield drops away from the rover during descent. The camera will then record a high-definition color video of the ground until moments after touch down.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

text: OAKLAND, Calif., June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Matson Navigation Company, Inc. ("Matson") has been honored with the U.S. Coast Guard's 2012 Rear Admiral William M. Benkert Marine Environmental Award for Excellence. The Benkert Award was created to recognize outstanding achievements in marine environmental protection that go beyond mere compliance with industrial and regulatory standards. Matson first received this biennial award in 2006. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120605/SF19690LOGO) "For our industry partners, the Rear Admiral William Benkert Award provides the ideal venue to strive for and recognize environmental excellence," said Capt. Eric Christensen, chief of the office for commercial vessel compliance. "The commandant's guiding principle of strengthening our partnerships is a valuable tenet to honor industry's efforts in continual pollution prevention, safety management and environmental stewardship." "As a company that has a long history of serving some of the most pristine environments in the world – including Hawaii, Guam and California -- Matson has quite naturally evolved into a carrier focused on setting a high bar when it comes to environmental stewardship," said Matt Cox, president, Matson. "For example, Matson is the only carrier in the world to have a zero discharge policy – this means that nothing is discharged into the ocean, with the exception of food scraps. Our philosophical approach to environmental and most other regulatory issues is to meet or exceed federal, state and local legislative and regulatory requirements. We also believe that where existing laws and regulations do not provide adequate controls to ensure the protection of the environment, we establish and adhere to our own more stringent standards." Besides the prestige associated with the Benkert Award, the award application process offers a venue for the creative exchange of ideas and innovations, and heightens awareness, underscoring the innovation required to achieve environmental excellence.

Yes, it is very promising, it promises "Coming soon" all the time. Nice

hide all dead captions, and not show them before there is content. When the

A study being released today shows the United States may be on top when it comes to acquiring wealth, but it doesn't measure up as well when it comes to happiness and life span, MSNBC is reporting.
The study of well being, known as the Your Better Life Index, was conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which promotes economic and social satisfaction, according to MSNBC. The index looks at areas such as income, education, work-life balance and life satisfaction, the news organization reports.
Among the 34 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia included in the study, the United States ranks first in average household wealth, at $102,000, according to MSNBC. Switzerland is the only country that comes close to that, at $95,000, MSNBC reports.
When it comes to life satisfaction, the study shows that 76% of people in the USA report that they have more positive than negative experiences in a typical day, but many countries -- including Denmark, Norway and Switzerland -- reported higher scores, according to MSNBC.
The study measured the average life expectancy in the United States to be 79, lower than the organization's average of 80, MSNBC reported.

WBC webcast Saturday
WBCBoxing.tv will present a live world championship webcast – free of charge – on Saturday at 10:30PM CT. Everyone is invited to watch. Please note: the webcast is not available in Mexico or the United States. In the main event – scheduled for 12 rounds from Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico – WBC lightweight world champion Humberto "Zorrita" Soto, 52-7-2 with 32 knockouts, of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, will make his second defense of the title against Fidel Monterrosa, 23-1 with 18 knockouts, of Barranquilla, Columbia.
Soto, now 30 years old, won the vacant title with a 12 round decision against former WBC lightweight world champion David Diaz on March 13. He made his first title defense on May 15 and won a 12 round decision against Ricardo Dominguez.

With the arrival of spring and warmer temperatures, the first thing I could do on the farm is tap the maple trees and make some maple syrup. I've never made maple syrup before, but like most people in Eastern Canada and the northeastern US, I was introduced to maple syrup
The first place to start now that we've been introduced should be what I intend to do on this little farm and what kind of goals I want to accomplish. This project is more than a "postage stamp" garden, there will be some attempt in the future to sell what
This is Yokel. The word yokel is often used to describe a country simpleton or hillbilly type character. A Yokelet is a small farm, so called as requiring but one yoke of oxen to till it. I don't own an ox, nor am I a farmer, but I do live

Ugh. My sister's dogs.
This past weekend was the first time that my sister, her husband and their two chihuahuas got to meet Doyle. The two of them are more used to my golden Myles who has to be awarded the most patient dog on the planet award. He is so very good with other dogs, and so tolerant of things that he shouldn't be. Doyle is different however. He's a puppy. One that has been around dogs, and isn't used to me really patrolling his interactions with them.
To her credit, my sister's little female, who should be coming up on a year old soon was bowled over this past summer during a fear period by two boxers. While they didn't physically hurt her (Chloe is 3 lbs now and Cooper is 4), it scared her to where she was even afraid of a dog smaller than her! We had a toy poodle start boarding with us this past summer and she was even afraid of her when she was a puppy. It's been a long road, but I see signs that Chloe is getting more relaxed than my sister realizes.
We had gone on a really long hike in the rain/slush before coming over so I knew both of the boys were tired. However the excitement of going to grandma and grandpa's house always remains. Plus Cooper and Chloe start barking and flipping out the instant that we walk in. Doyle didn't know what to think about that, so I ended up sitting on the floor near him, trying to get him interested in the bully stick my mother had really kindly bought for him (Myles had his own too).
Doyle was curious about these two new dogs. He hasn't shown signs of being bad with little dogs. We have encountered many between the hiking group and our outings, plus the dogs who board here. He is a puppy, so he is a bit of an idiot, but for a baby, he knows dog language pretty well. He was curious about Chloe because she was curious about him. But my sister freaked out and kept trying to shoo him away when they were showing signs of trying to interact.
I would just get him settled when one of them would come nearby and be sniffing at him. The time when Chloe got pretty close, Doyle went from watching her to getting up and taking a few playful bounds at her. His paws were spread wide and he never tried to snap or anything. Que Chloe running for my brother-in-law, Cooper barking and my sister getting upset. Get Doyle back and settled again. This time Cooper decides to come over. Again, Doyle tries to engage in play, more barking and freaking out.
It was obviously confusing him. He was standing near the couch where my sister was sitting. She has encouraged Cooper to bark/snap at other dogs and people who come near. She thinks it is cute and refers to it as "protect the mama". He tried pulling that at Doyle's face and he went from standing and looking a bit perplexed to snapping once, a few inches away from where the little dogs were. He pulls this all the time at Myles, but again, my golden is one of the most patient dogs on the planet and he simply stays still or turns his head a little to the side. Plus Cooper grew up with Myles always around.
Thankfully at that point, my sister decided to put them away. I have called, maneuvered Doyle so he was sitting next to me. I didn't yell at him or discipline him in any way. It was clear he was confused, not certain what to think of the matter. Soon as they were gone, he easily settled down and started to chew on the bully stick.
Later when my sister gathered her dogs to go, Doyle was laying under the dining room table with Myles, facing where my sister stood with full access to get up if he wanted to. He just laid there and watched her with little interest. Thankfully her dogs weren't making any more noise but ugh.
Hopefully I handled that okay, and honestly Doyle for the most part is a pretty good little guy. He has his puppy moments still, but he is perceptive, smart and he likes to be where I am. I just am hoping that my sister doesn't use that as a reason to bar me from bringing Doyle to things. My boys go everywhere with me. And I know my parents like having them around, especially my dad. So just blah lol.
Mostly guess I wanted to rant and hoped for some ideas or the like. I don't think that how he acted was something to be super crazy concerned about. I'm mostly figuring my sister will just be my sister and make life **** lol.

The CW's superhero TV series Arrow has brought in a new actor to fill out its expanding gallery of heroes and villains. According to Entertainment Weekly, Brandon Routh is set to take on the character of Ray Palmer, also known as The Atom, in a recurring role in the series' third season.
TV Line writes: "An unparalleled scientist and inventor, Ray will play an unexpected role in the lives of Oliver and (rumored love interest) Felicity as the new owner of Queen Consolidated. Palmer's plans for Queen Consolidated's Applied Sciences Division will be shrouded in mystery."
Created by Gardner Fox and Gil Kane, The Atom first appeared in 1961 and was one of the first superheroes of the Silver Age of comic books. As a physics professor at Ivy University, Ray Palmer was able to develop equipment that allowed him to shrink himself down to subatomic levels while maintaining regular mass. He is one of the few superheroes in the DC Universe who has complete control over his body on the molecular level, making him one of the most powerful DC superheroes.
For Routh, the role represents a return to the DC Comics universe for which he portrayed Superman in 2006′s Superman Returns, directed by Bryan Singer. Originally cast in 2004, the high profile role made Routh an instant celebrity as Superman Returns became one of the most anticipated movies of the decade. But despite reasonably good reviews from critics, the film wasn't a hit with movie-goers, making only $200 million in the U.S. on a budget of $270 million. As a result, the two potential sequel films that Routh was signed on for would never materialize.

He just gets real cranky around other dogs. Great around people.

Purdue 66, Ball State 56: A.J. Hammons scored 15 points to lead four players in double figures as the Boilermakers snapped a two-game losing streak while holding off the visiting Cardinals.
Trailing 47-45 with 8:37 remaining, Purdue (5-6) used a 13-2 run to assume a 58-49 lead with 3:53 left as the Boilermakers knocked off Ball State (5-5) for the seventh straight time in West Lafayette. Terone Johnson, who tallied 14 for Purdue, scored five in the decisive run while Hammons had four.
D.J. Byrd and Ronnie Johnson, Terone's younger brother, each scored 11 while Jacob Lawson added six points and a career-high 11 rebounds.
Ball State took its first lead of the second half at 45-43 with 9:29 left on a 3-pointer by Lafayette native Jesse Berry, but the Cardinals could not hold on as they saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
Berry led Ball State with a game-high 22 points, including 4 three-pointers and Marcus Posley added 12.
NOTEBOOK: Purdue freshman Rapheal Davis, who scored 21 points in the second half last Saturday in a loss to No. 22 Notre Dame, did not score. ... Hammons' added three blocks. ... Ball State F Majok Majok, who has four double-doubles this season, grabbed 12 rebounds but scored only six points on 1-for-4 shooting from the field.

Street Performers Create Clean Comedy Success
David Fee and Jim Hedrick have been friends and business partners for over three decades. The duo first met in 1980 at Magic World in Pigeon Forge, TN. From Tennessee, they headed to New York and juggled in the streets for tips while auditioning for various shows. While in New York, they performed at the Village Gate Theater, as well as road shows in New York and Connecticut.
When the snow starting falling in New York, the two moved to Las Vegas and were guest performers at the Sahara Hotel and Casino.
In 1982, the World's Fair was held in Knoxville, Tennessee, which was the perfect venue for David Fee to perform his Houdini-style escapes. Afterwards, both Fee and Hedrick traveled across the nation executing magic and thrill escapes. They perfected the upside down straightjacket escape while the suspension rope burned, performed the table of death, and Fee was even buried alive for 48 hours to raise money for St. Jude's hospital.
During the next decade, the duo amazed the guests of Carnival Cruise Lines where Fee was Senior Cruise Director.
In 1995, the two chose to settle down on dry ground and start their own families. They decided the Great Smoky Mountains was the place to be. It was there that they found the former Archie Campbell's Hee Haw Theater, which had recently closed and was available. It was here the team first opened The Comedy Barn Theater.
The original Hee Haw Theater was in the shape of a barn, which is how Fee and Hedrick came up with the unique name "The Comedy Barn Theater." On April 28th, 1995, the Comedy Barn held its very first show. It was a success right from the start. Hedrick remarked, "I knew we had a winner when I came across a couple in Gatlinburg. I recognized them from the show. They had been sitting in the audience three nights in a row. As we were chatting, the man took me aside and told me that his wife had suffered a stroke two years before, and her visit to our theater was the first time she had laughed since the stroke."
That first year, the Comedy Barn troupe performed for sold out -- or nearly sold out -- houses every night . Due to the phenomenal response from the guests, in 1996, Fee and Hedrick took a leap of faith by beginning construction on a brand new state-of-the-art theater.
Fee and Hedrick were a little apprehensive at first, wondering if a clean comedy venue would be embraced by the public. The local residents as well as the tourists soon put their minds at ease with their overwhelming support.
Now The Comedy Barn Theater is celebrating its 20th anniversary, having performed over 9,000 shows for over 5 million guests.

Calling all curly girls: Your beauty routine is getting a touch of Revenge. Last month, we announced that Ashley Madekwe teamed up with Joico and the brand's artistic director Damien Carney for the "Drab to Fab" hair makeover web series, where she gave real girls style tips to match their recently made-over hair, and now we're revealing the first installment exclusively on InStyle.com. To kick off the series, Carney and Madekwe gave their model buoyant ringlets with a retro edge. Although the dynamic texture makes a big statement, it was done sans curling irons. Rather, Carney formed the defined curls using just Joico's K-Pak Color Therapy Oil ($16), the K-Pak Protect and Shine Serum ($14; joico.com for locations), and a dryer with a diffuser attachment. Get the complete step-by-step breakdown in the video above.

95% of the time you are looking at a bad wiper motor on this model. What happens is that copper contacts get worn out and does not allow the wiper motor to return to park. Because it does not see the park position it overrides and will not allow the intermittent wipers to work. Sometimes you can pop the plastic cover off the motor and clean or bend these contacts over and the motor will continue to work a little longer this is a common failure. Click the link below and save the picture of the plastic cowling and wiper motor. Ideally you need to do extensive testing of the wiper motor and switch if you want to do that and need information let me know.
If you buy a used wiper motor for $35 that is a good price the problem is you don't how long it will last. Once you get the wiper motor out take the cover off the round section of the wiper motor and see if you can bend and clean up the contact wipers inside the motor you will see when talking about when you get the cover off. This is not a difficult job someone with average mechanical skills can do this in 45 minutes to an hour. To get the wiper arms off simply take the nuts loose and push down on the wiper arm and this will break the taper fit of the pivot. When you are reinstalling the wiper arms onto the pivot make sure that the wiper motor itself has run through a couple cycles and has been returned to the park position then install your wiper arms. Like I said purchasing a used part you never know what you're going to get kinda like a box of chocolates.

Fayette courthouse artists of month return with something new
Combining their talents, creativity and skill, the Wilsons of Washington are an impressive pair who humbly call their works of art a hobby.
Judy and Tom Wilson are the May artists of the month and will have their various types of art displayed in the Law Library of the Fayette County Courthouse.
The pair first displayed their fused glass pieces in September 2012 and are back with more items and different types of artwork.
"We were first interested in stained glass," Judy Wilson said of the pair who have been working with different types of art for 20 years.
Wilson said that they became aware of classes that were being offered in fused glassmaking and decided to try a new art form.
"We bought a little kiln and decided to try it," Judy Wilson said.
The Wilsons now apply the technique to create lovely items such as various jewelry pieces, purse hooks, plates, key holders, pendants and sun catchers, but their most popular items are glass bottles that have been "flattened" while being fired that they make into cheese trays.
"Those are pretty popular," Tom Wilson said of the "cheese plates" that are made with a hook to hang them and come complete with a little cheese knife. "I saw them one day and just figured out how to do it."
The cheese plates are a great way to utilize a special bottle of wine or champagne that may have sentimental value. Tom Wilson said that once he would receive a bottle, it would only take a few weeks to complete.
While the Wilsons have been creating traditional fused glass products for several years, the pair just recently began making fused glass jewelry that has requires etching to create patterns on the surface.
This etched form requires a double firing at the kiln compared to the other form that creates a more three-dimensional effect.
"The glass is placed in the kiln that is then heated to 1,465 degrees," Judy Wilson said. "It usually takes about 12 hours for it to melt and fuse."
Always looking for even more ways to use their creative talents, the retired math teachers said that they are constantly looking at other ways to express their talents, with Judy Wilson now also creating greeting cards out of original photographs that she has taken.
"They are mostly of flowers and birds and animals, but I have a few scenic ones as well," she said of her cards that display images of photographs that she has taken in such places as Nemocolin Woodlands and Phipps Conservatory.
All of the items brought to the law library, with the exception of one framed bear window, are for sale.
"I think that this is awesome," Judy Wilson said of the law library's artist of the month program. "It's such a nice opportunity for artists to come here and have the chance to display and that is what it is really all about, getting your things out so people can see."
The artist program was established by assistant law librarian Barbara Pasqua back in 2007 when she thought that the facility could serve as a nice venue for area artists.
"I am amazed by what the Wilsons have done, and I am amazed every month when I see the wonderful things that are created by artists in the Fayette County area," Pasqua said.
The law library is open during regular courthouse hours.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
