Never should we forget by Khristine McGuire
Never should we forget the holocaust.
Do you know about the holocaust?
Old men were killed, elderly women gassed, children taken away,
Indecently tortured, treated as animals.
Thousands murdered raided in the night, not a Jew in sight.
Never should we forget the holocaust.
Not a Jew here, is there a Jew there?
Never should we forget when the terror started.
The glass flew and diamonds were trodden into the dirt.
When the ghetto wall was built and the starvation started.
When the people were herded like cattle onto trains;
"Leave the ill, leave the elderly and leave the children.
Look lively if you want to live.
Women to the left. Men to the right."
Fewer and fewer, weaker and weaker.
Never should we forget Auschwitz and all the other concentration camps;
The cold; the hunger; the darkness.
Working all day and small amounts of food afterwards.
Nameless faces.
Fewer and fewer, weaker and weaker.
Never should we forget the deaths.
When the gas started in shower blocks and trucks.
When gold teeth were counted and boots piled high in silent rooms.
Never should we forget the survivors.
They were the witnesses, they are the legacy.
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time - just like a birthday cake.
Seeing the tanks covered in pink paper
The coloured Easter egg in her hand.
To her, it was a symbol of hope,
And finally knowing what day it was.
Never should we forget that I do not have a number on my arm
And whole generations lost to me.
The things they possessed were no more.
But in the end, that did not matter.
Because all those people to the Nazis,
They did not matter.

Great Planes "Super" Slinger
A Great Planes Slinger is an inexpensive 47.4" ARF wing that comes with a Speed 400 motor and two props for astonishing stunts at a wide range of speeds. The only things required to make the Slinger ARF flight-ready are 6-minute epoxy and about an hour of easy assembly. All-foam parts make it a snap to assemble and tough to damage.
Formed plastic parts, factory-applied heat-shrink film and all necessary hardware are supplied along with a Speed 400 motor and two props
A Super Slinger uses the new Kontronik Brushless 400 Set instead of the stock Speed 400 motor.
Although similar in size, the Kontronik Brushless 400 motor provides significantly more power!
The Kontronik Brushless Sets combine matched components to eliminate the guesswork
The Kontronik Brushless Set 400 includes a Fun 400-23 brushless motor and a matched Smile 30-6-12 ESC. The power set is meant for direct drive applications up to 12 cells NiCd or 3 cells Lithium. Both the motor and controller can handle currents up to 30amps which make it significantly more powerful than the stock Speed 400 motor. It is also a perfect plug-n-play replacement fit for fast and easy assembly!
The new 15C Kokam 2AH packs can provide almost 3 times the current of the 1500mAh pack
To power my "Super" Slinger wing, I'm using the new Kokam (15C) 2AH 3-cell Lithium pack. Not only is the 30amp continuous current delivery a perfect match for my Kontronik Brushless 400 set but the 6oz. pack size fits perfectly into the stock Slinger battery bay.
Connectors are provided for both motor and controller
Before installing the motor, you need to solder the connectors onto the motor and ESC wires. The Kontronik Brushless 400 Set includes plugs, connectors, and pre-cut shrink tubing. I soldered the male plugs onto the motor wires.
The antenna position shown above did not work well due to ESC interference
I'm using an M-72-6 antenna from E Cubed R/C that I tucked under the center plastic tray. It will keep from having a long antenna flopping around during high-speed maneuvers. Note that during the flight testing, I had significant radio interference, due to the orientation of the antenna to the ESC, so my placement of the M-72-6 antenna was not optimal.
Normally, the servo is held in place by tape
and some balsa wedges, if needed. I decided it best to epoxy my HS-81 servo in
place to provide a more solid hold for the higher-powered Super Slinger.
Two metal bars slide into tubes to connect the wing halves
The wings are attached by two metal bars that slide into pre-installed tubes. Again, for added strength, I glued the wing halves together using thick, white craft glue. At this time, you can add the new plywood skid, if desired, for easier launching. Note that the wing centers and tips have plywood plates for easy gluing.
Strapping tape and white shipping tape are used to strengthen the assembly
I used three different tapes to strengthen my Super Slinger. The clear cellophane tape is included in the kit but makes for a rather weak joint on large areas. I used the nylon-reinforced strapping tape as a first layer to hold my battery tray onto the wing. I then covered it in some areas with the white shipping tape for a better finished look. Be certain to tape every surface of the plastic tray where it meets the wing using long pieces of strapping tape from top to bottom.
The elevons are reinforced with clear cellophane tape on both sides at each end
The 3-cell Kokam (15C) 2AH Lithium pack fit perfectly in the battery tray
The Kontronik 400 brushless motor mounted perfectly in the stock position although I used a heavier tywrap than provided in the kit for the Speed 400 motor. I used a Graupner 5.5x4.5 CAM Speed prop and Graupner 6053.31 prop adapter for 3.2mm shafts. Both parts were obtained at Hobby Lobby. Note that the prop front faces forward and will spin clockwise when viewed from behind the wing. If the motor spins the wrong way, reverse any two of the three motor wires going to the ESC.
Great Planes supplied a Product Improvement Sheet and additional parts in the kit

Sheet with the Slinger as an addendum to the manual. Also included were some new
parts for providing alternate methods to launch the plane and attach the
The plastic wingtip was epoxied to the plywood end plate after removing a section of the decal
The bottom view reveals the slight cutout in the foam needed for prop clearance
My Slinger balanced perfectly at the recommended 8" distance from the tip using the Great Planes CG Machine
My Super Slinger was Ready-To-Fly at 27.1oz using the 6oz. Kokam 3-cell (15C) 2AH Lithium pack.
My Super Slinger was Ready-To-Fly at 27.1oz using the 6oz.
Kokam 3-cell (15C) 2AH Lithium pack.
The power system drew 21amps using the
Graupner 5.5x4.5 CAM Speed prop.
Test Flying:
My first opportunity to test fly the Slinger was in very windy conditions. The wind was gusting from 15-20mph and this is something that I would never recommend to anyone regardless of their experience. We call this scenario, "do as I say, not as I do!" It was interesting to see the plane perform in these conditions because it clearly demonstrated the upgrade in power level from the stock Speed 400 motor to the Kontronik Brushless 400 Set. Although the flights were a bit intense, they were very successful and I walked away without any damage.
The "Super" Slinger had plenty of power, even at half-throttle! My CG seemed a bit too aft as the elevator was over-sensitive. After the flight, I realized that I had experienced many glitches in the control surfaces and throttle setting so I replaced the M-72-6 Micro antenna with a normal wire antenna that I taped along the bottom of the wing. Since I had sealed the micro antenna under the plastic tray, I cut the wire near the receiver and soldered the original antenna wire back in place. The wire is held in place using white shipping tape. The next flight worked perfectly without a glitch! Additionally, I filled the nose under the plastic tray with some modeling clay since the Lithium battery pack was as far forward as possible. The additional clay weighed about half an ounce.
The new antenna wire was routed around to the wing bottom and taped in place
Our next flights during the week were in much
calmer conditions. The dynamic range of flight on the "Super" Slinger now encompasses thermaling to perhaps 80-90mph!
I saw no structural problems and flew most of the flight at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle.
When the flight was over, the Slinger gracefully glided without any power to a
slow, soft landing in the grass. Notice the Met Life
blimp in the background for the LPGA tournament that week in Rochester, NY.
The introduction of the new Kontronik Brushless 400 Set to the Great Planes Slinger wing increased the dynamic range of flight on an already great design to nothing short of spectacular! Without detracting from the slow gliding and thermalling characteristics on the original lightweight design, the substantial increase in power level allows a new top end performance that can be used in almost any weather conditions.
A perfect power supply for the Kontronik 400 motor is the new 6oz, 3-cell Kokam (15C) 2AH pack. It can provide a continuous 30 amp current delivery to match the needs of the Kontronik Brushless 400 Set. Even at full-throttle on my "Super" Slinger setup, the Kontronik Brushless 400 motor, Smile 30-amp ESC, and Kokam (15C) 2AH Lithium pack are only using 2/3 capacity so nothing is getting stressed in the power system when delivering spectacular performance! The built-in air scoop of the Slinger keeps everything operating at a cool temperature.
This wing flies awesome! The flights are about 15 minutes with mixed hard and easy flying. Unlike the Speed 400 motors, the Kontronik Brushless 400 power system will never wear out.
If you have already mastered your Speed 400 wing and are looking for a performance upgrade, the new Kontronik Brushless 400 Set can turn your Great Planes Slinger into a real "Super" Slinger!

Nutella Hazelnut Pots de Creme
Any excuse to make a decadent dessert and I'm in. Valentine's Day no exception. As much as I love to have someone cook for me, I have to admit I don't like to venture out for a romantic meal on Valentine's Day. Why? Because in my experience, restaurants are over-crowded, over-priced and the service is typically slow on the love-iest dove-iest night of the year. Plus I can make a very special meal at home for our whole family for a fraction of the price. THEN we plan on a date night the following week when it's safe to exit the house again. Win. Win.
We typically make a very nice surf and turf dinner and then a dessert. This year we'll be serving Nutella hazelnut pots de creme. French for pot of cream/custard. I translate it to wicked good. And made in the blender means easy peasy. This recipe is incredibly rich so the small portion is perfect. You can top it with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, berries and nuts for a little extra pizzazz. You can make it the day before and have them at the ready. More time to put on lip gloss and fix your hair. A girl has to look good.
This Valentine's Day, share the love with recipes and homemade gift ideas! Don't miss the International Delight Valentine's Day Twitter Giveaway. Enter by following International Delight on Twitter and by tweeting your favorite ID flavor with the hashtag #IDLove. Winners will be contacted on February 15th and will receive ID Valentine's Day Sampler Packages!
Whatever you're doing this Valentine's I hope you're surrounded by those you hold near and dear, along with a spoon and these Nutella hazelnut pots de creme.

Target: Latin American Coalition and other counter-protesters
Goal: Thank counter-protesters for taking a stand against hate at a white supremacist rally
The National Socialist Movement held a rally to bring attention to illegal immigration; instead, the overpowering chants were messages against hate by a group of people gathered to protest the protest. The counter-protesters were the only thing that could be heard.
The National Socialist Movement is described on its website as the largest and most active National Socialist party in America. The core beliefs include: defending the rights of white people everywhere, preservation of European culture and heritage, strengthening family values, economic self-sufficiency, reform of illegal immigration policies, and promotion of white separation.
The Latin American Coalition was one of the main organizers of the counter-protest. The group is a community of Latin Americans, immigrants, and allies promoting full and equal participation of all people in the civic, economic, and cultural life of North Carolina through education, celebration, and advocacy. The organization has made, and will continue to make, great strides in justice and equality. Anarchists and members of the Occupy movement were also present opposing the white power rally.
The rally drew hundreds of people, the majority of which turned out to be counter-protesters. In numbers nearing 250, the counter-protesters set out on a mission to show the National Socialist Movement how ridiculous and outdated its exclusive thinking is.
The counter-protesters dressed in clown outfits and blew whistles and squeaky toys to outshine the National Socialist Movement's message of hate. When they would chant "white power," the counter-protesters would shout "wife power" or "white flour." Outnumbering the white supremacists five to one, it was a clear demonstration of how messages of white power will not be tolerated. It became visually clear how many more people were in favor of equality and human rights than those who were not. Sign the petition to thank these counter-protests for proving that equality can prevail.
Dear counter-protesters,
Instead of the National Socialist Movement being highlighted in the media, it was the counter-protesters challenging the ideals of the white supremacist group. The only thing covered in the media from the recent rally in North Carolina was your message of equality and inclusion. Your tactics in pointing out the ridiculousness of the National Socialist Movement's intolerant thinking were pivotal. Dressing up in clown costumes and surpassing the hate sent a powerful message that equality will be the only thing tolerated.
Thank you for being brave enough to stand up to groups like the National Socialist Movement who believe only their way of thinking is right. You set a great example of how influential a protest against hate can be.

After his first practice with the Syracuse Crunch Tuesday, Henri Ikonen spent some extra time on the ice working with fellow rookies.
Ikonen, who signed an entry level contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday and will finish the season on an amateur tryout with Syracuse, liked the brisk, energetic pace at practice. The 2013 sixth-round draft pick admits he may not be the most skilled player, but prides himself on the effort he puts in.
"I'm a good skater, so I bring some speed," the 5-11, 184-pound winger said. "I can battle in the corners, win battles and take the puck to the net, and hopefully score some goals from there."

comfortabe - clean - good breakfast - inside shoping centre - near our buseness in chis nola comercial centre nothing
Situated inside the shopping center complex Vulcano Buono, covered parking space (garage), nice buffet breakfast, nice design of the hotel lobby, rooms and impressive shopping center in the shape of vulcano with "crater" event space in the middle. Wireless is available only in the lobby - they do not provide wireless in the rooms and charges are applicable.
very comfortable room. Ideal foe business in cis nola
Great architecture:mall, gardens,hotel,gim No shower curtain in the bathroom.Sound of the TV of our neighbor room
Very nice modern hotel, well equiped, clean, staff is friendly, perfect breakfast It was hard to find the hotel because all the guide signs are for Holiday inn, there is no mentioning of the name Idea Hotel Nola
Spacious and clean Room lighting poor
This is a good and quiet hotel. Very friendly staff, but it was a little bit difficult to talk with them - they mainly speak Italian, but not English. The room was clean. Very poor breakfast for 4 star hotel.
The kindness of the staff.
The. Food in the restaurant was poor quality for a 'so called' 4 star hotel!!!
The staff was very helpful and courteous! They were able to communicate with us even though we speak very little Italian! The food at their restuarant was wonderful and reasonably priced! To be honest I don't remember reading hotel guest reviews. I booked primarily due to its location to Contrada where my wife's grandfather was originally from in Italy. So I left the review part blank.
Nothing There were many things I didn't like. The breakfast in the morning was very poor. Only four slices of bread left, and rather dried out and sad looking bread. The butter tasted like it had gone off and the milk for cereal was warm. The laundry service was very poor also, and some of our clothes came back smelling of smoke. Not happy and would not stay there again.
Hotel is very well positioned, and easily accessible. Staff is very helpful. The bathroom facilities were lacking. Shower was without a curtain and hairdryer did not function.
We liked the fact that the hotel was clean quiet and very near to our destination.Very good and tasty breakfast and dinner and very helpful staff.Finally we liked that it had private parking and very warm rooms. It had a little cold in the reception and breakfast area in the morning.
I needed somewhere convenient late in the evening close to Naples and on the road to Bari and this fitted the bill very nicely! It was close to the motorway, clean, comfortable and good value for money. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the welcome they extended was warm and relaxed. The breakfast was not great, the selection was below average and the atmosphere was lacking in a sense of service!
Parking, internet, restaurant.
The hotel offers a great stay for the business people who enjoy comfort, good meal in breakfast and free internet connection the internet connection was really bad, this can be improved, at least you can check your email, but no more then this (can not download attachments)
Very good breakfast. Excellent rooms. Location far from city center. No Bus services or metro services to the hotel.
Very helpfull staff. Nice, clean and quiet room. Comfortable bed and bathroom. Easy to find from highway. I will choose this hotel again, next time.
Breakfast was very poor. Definately not a 4 star hotel
Size of room, friendly staff Location, toilet in room had a sewer smell all three days even though it looked clean, every evening we would get a smokey smell in our room, was told it was from outside burning in the area.
The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The location is good with lovely views
Every thing was spot on made really welcome and treated as kings and queens Only bad thing was the shower was really small
We were struggling to find lost luggage. We spoke no Italian and the staff no English. In spite of all that they were extremely helpdful. We communicated using an online translater and that worked. Place and brand new and emaculate. The views are wonderful. It helped to have a GPS to find the place.
wonderful newly built (2007) Hotel, that looks and feels like a historic Grand Hotel. Perfect service, maybe even too caring.... Rooms would need an upgrade, and the bathroom one more shelf.
nothing there was not a buffet breakfast, on the table 1 basket with 2 crossants, 2 toast envelope, coffee, every day we need to ask juice,fruits. dinner service bad the last night dinner the cook did the waiter service to us
Staff made us feel very welcome.
The hotel is quiet, clean, and comfortable. The staff tried very hard to please. The staff was very friendly. The staff was, at times, slightly overly attentive.
Staff is very attentive to the needs of the clients. Dinner served at the hotel restaurant was very good and very reasonably priced; however, we cannot comment on the free breakfast since we were too rushed in the morning to take it. Hotel offers modern amenities in rooms. Hotel room was very reasonably priced.
The staff were very attentive and the hotel was in a great location and suited our needs. Not applicable
Big, nice looking place, food was pretty good. Price was good. A little creepy, as I was one of only a few guests in the huge hotel. No English spoken at all by staff. One guy was almost too nice.
Very nice pool, and nice food very cheap, thanks !!!
staff helpful and friendly
The staff were universally friendly and helpful. The pool was a welcome facility in extremely hot weather.
Room that matched description and provided for all our needs. Good breakfast that even catered for our fussy kids. Well located for our needs i.e. travel in and around Apollosa and Benevento.
This is an excellent hotel, truely deserving the 4 stars that it has, has ample easy parking, great hotel for motorists. There was a minor insect problem in the room.
The location in town, the country setting of the hotel. Good restaurant and good wine selection. The receptionist did not speak English which made it difficult to communicate.
The rooms were spacious. The breakfast was good and they had a nice pool.
Friendly and helpfull staff Swimming Pool out of use due to pre booked functions,this should have been pointed out at time of booking.
Everything worked very well, clean, comfort, good quality and very kind personnel. Special thanks for the Director for his hospitality. Maybe, us as nordic people, would like a few variety of breadth (pane)
Poor breakfast for a 4 stars hotel
Attentive and helpful staff.
The staff were very helpful. The room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was average but sufficient.
Hotel staff and cleanliness. Breakfast very limited
Parking lot available even if the hotel was in the city center. Confortable beds No insulation betewen the rooms, noise from the other rooms. Breakfast could be improved
Staff no tea making kettle
good breakfast. nice room.off road parking
the staff were very helpful and friendly shower a little small
Excellent restaurant None
The stay was wonderful from the moment we arrived to leaving its not often i leave a hotel with a tear in my eye but we where treated really well by your staff,we found you on the net and still cannot believe our luck and will come back again for sure one day. Nothing to not like
Quite good little far from any majior shopping(avellino) very relaxing
All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was very good.

TAMPA -- Mitt Romney will lay out his vision for American renewal tonight, contrasting his ideas for boosting the economy with what he calls the failure of the Obama presidency.
"I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division," Romney will say as he accepts the GOP presidential nomination. "This isn't something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we can do something. With your help we will do something."
According to speech excerpts released by the Romney campaign, the Republican plans to discuss his record at Bain Capital, his days leading the state of Massachusetts, his work turning around the 2002 Winter Olympics, and provide a glimpse into his family life and faith as he prepares for the homestretch of the presidential campaign.
"President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet," Romney will say. "My promise is ... to help you and your family."
Romney is expected to speak in the 10 p.m. ET hour, after remarks by actor-director Clint Eastwood and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Some highlights from the speech excerpts:
Romney's vow for the future:
If I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it. And with your help we will deliver it. Let us begin that future together tonight."
Every family in America wanted this to be a time when they could get ahead a little more, put aside a little more for college, do more for their elderly mom who's living alone now or give a little more to their church or charity.
The "hope and change" expected under Obama:
Every small business wanted these to be their best years ever, when they could hire more, do more for those who had stuck with them through the hard times, open a new store or sponsor that Little League team.
Every new college graduate thought they'd have a good job by now, a place of their own, and that they could start paying back some of their loans and build for the future.
This is when our nation was supposed to start paying down the national debt and rolling back those massive deficits.
This was the hope and change America voted for.
The influence of his parents, George and Lenore:
My mom and dad were true partners, a life lesson that shaped me by everyday example. When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, "Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?"
The role his Mormon faith has played in his life:
Like a lot of families in a new place with no family, we found kinship with a wide circle of friends through our church. When we were new to the community it was welcoming and as the years went by, it was a joy to help others who had just moved to town or just joined our church. We had remarkably vibrant and diverse congregations of all walks of life and many who were new to America. We prayed together, our kids played together and we always stood ready to help each other out in different ways.
And that's how it is in America. We look to our communities, our faiths, our families for our joy, our support, in good times and bad. It is both how we live our lives and why we live our lives. The strength and power and goodness of America has always been based on the strength and power and goodness of our communities, our families, our faiths.

RTX Sunday Video — Eli Young Band 'Even if it Breaks Your Heart'

Sarawak Report:
We are a group of citizens and onlookers deeply concerned by the situation in Sarawak, East Malaysia.
In the league table of corrupt countries robbed by greedy rulers, Sarawak's name must come very near the top in terms of the sheer magnitude of theft. And for nearly thirty years the reason has lain with one man, the billionaire Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud.
As the Mahmud family and their associates bask in extraordinary riches, with assets and properties strewn across the world, the ordinary people of Sarawak, Malaysia's richest state, remain amongst its poorest inhabitants. The profits from timber, oil and now oil palm (much of it grown on land illegally sequestered from the indigenous communities) have gone straight into the pockets of the BN party cronies, who have run the country like a personal business and plundered it indiscriminately for the past four decades of continuous rule.
The once unparalleled tropical rainforests have been denuded – scarcely 3% remain uncut – and the tribal peoples who depended on the forests for their food are now deprived of their means of subsistence and starving. Development has been restricted to the coastal towns, home to the BN elites.
In Taib's Sarawak there is no platform allowed for those who wish to bring this corruption to light and no voice given to the opposition parties, who are denied access to the state-controlled media. With an election looming, Sarawak Report exists to provide that platform and to offer an alternative vision of justice, transparency and a fairer future in Sarawak.

How to Sell Your Music Here
If you are an unsigned or independent band or artist and you have
released an album, we'll help you sell it.
We'll stock your CD at CD Unsigned, with its own webpage and sell via digital downloads.
And unlike other music stores, you'll get paid each time a copy of your album is sold.
what do I have to do?
- You fill out our submission form with your artist/band and album details.
- You tell us how you'd like to get paid for your sales.
- If selling CDs send us 5 copies for now. We'll ask for more if they sell.
- You DON'T have to edit info or upload songs. We do it all for you!
what will you do for me?
- We build you a permanent 24/7 online album page on CD Unsigned, complete with your album and artist information, song clips, biography, etc. (or separate pages for each album if you have released more than one)
- We will make your tracks available for digital purchase if you want.
- We upload your music and material and do all the work.
- We change/update your page(s) at your request at any time.
- We deal with all CD sales and ship them out to customers for you.
what about the money?
- You set your own selling price for your CD.
- We keep only £2.00 GBP commission per CD sale on CDs priced £10 and below, and 20% on CDs priced over £10. You get the rest!
- We pay you each time your CD is sold. Payment is made to you at the end of each month.
- There is no waiting to reach a certain threshold amount before being paid.
what if I am already signed with a label?
As long as you have permission to sell your material then thats fine, we don't require exclusivity. We also offer discounted rates for music labels to sell through CD Unsigned.
what if I don't want to sell CDs just downloads?
No problem, all we ask is you send us one master uncompressed CD per album which we can use to encode digital copies from.
how many albums will I sell here?
How long is a piece of string? Different bands will appeal to different people. Sales are not set in stone and customers can be very fickle! Some bands may sell a few copies a month, whereas others sell more.
Some bands do sell a lot of albumss. These are bands who have good looking CDs with good production, gig a lot, have their own websites, promote their music thoroughly through email newsletters, word of mouth, etc and, most importantly, have links to their CD Unsigned pages on their websites, so their fans know where to buy their CDs.
Self-promotion and giving your band a good image is the key here! Let's face it! We are NOT Universal or Sony. You will NOT sell 1000s of CDs a week here, but CD Unsigned is here for making sure that unsigned or independent bands can sell copies of their CDs to anyone in the world at any time!
A lot of bands have sold a lot of albums over the years at CD Unsigned who would not have had that opportunity if they hadn't joined us.
how much will this cost me?
- There is a ONE TIME Band Registration Fee of: £19.99
- Apart from this initial fee, there is nothing else to pay.
- If you have released more than one CD, you can sell them all here with ONE registration fee (as long as its by the same artist/band), each album has its own separate page.
- You can also add more albums at a later date, free of charge.
why do I have to pay to register?
Yeah, okay, so you've already spent a fortune on recording and manufacturing your CD and then you're going to have to pay postage costs to send us the CDs, but the ONE TIME registration fee goes towards things like these:
- Creating your artist page.
- Providing a permanent 24/7 online presence for your album.
- Providing a 24/7 checkout system to sell your music.
- Providing sales and despatch of your album to customers.
- Hosting, storage and streaming of your song clips.
- Funds for website maintenance and advertising.
It also weeds out the freeloaders and naff amateurs. We don't want cr*p on our website. We want serious bands who play quality music!
And don't forget! Unlike other online CD stores, we don't charge a fee for every CD you release. You can sell ALL your CD releases here with ONE registration! We will update your artist page for you at your request at any time and you also can add more CD releases for free at a later date.
and, before you ask...
- We will NOT discontinue your CD if it doesn't sell. We will always be happy to stock it!
- Your CDs do NOT have to be barcoded or shrinkwrapped.
- You can sell home made CDRs here as long as they have good-looking printed sleeves and labels.
- There is NO contract to sign.
- We do all the work. All you do is fill out the submission form and send us your material.
OK, I'd like to sell my CD here!

In this thread:
the last "//" of the second code block appears inside the code block, even though I put the finishing [/CODE] before that line.
I can't subscribe to a forum...only to a thread. I can't delete forum subscriptions either.
I dunno if this bug has been posted and this thread is far too lengthy to go through post by post.
I'm using the WYSIWYG editor version and everthing works, until I try to edit my post. For some strange reason when I edit my post everything inside of the code tags loses it's indentation. I normally indent all lines by 1 tab or 2 spaces inside of a function. When I see something wrong in my post or overlooked something in the preview and try to edit, all the indentation is gone. Everything is at the exact left margin.
Quite annoying.
I have to second Bubba on the same intendation issue, although i am using Borland Compiler 4.52 (rather old but still working neatly :d ).
Experienced same as Bubba yesterday when posting some code ;).
The WYSIWYG editor is horrible.
Yes, I posted this problem a while ago (although I'm not sure if it was in this thread... anyhow, it was ignored). It's a particular problem for me, because I tend to do my proofreading AFTER I've already posted, which means I almost always have to re-indent my code several times on each post.
Stop using tab characters.
I hate it when they say "it's happening because you're stupid"... Codeplug, I don't use tabs. It does the same thing no matter what I use; the indentation gets shot when I hit edit..
Also, it's weird because when you use spaces, sometimes the editor will convert a string of them into a tab or something and everything will be indented extra.
Hunter is right. We are not talking about cutting and pasting code. Compose some code in the full WYSIWYG (yeah right) editor. Sumbit it. Now edit it and watch all the indentations - they are just magically removed. Very annoying.
And if you read the post, it's kind of hard to use TAB characters when TAB changes the focus of the current window on the board? There are several other bugs with the code sections that I'm just not going to get into. Needless to say it takes quite some time to get your nice looking code to look the same here on the board. Anymore I just post it and/or compose it and say the heck with it.
I dont know what was going on but yesterday and today troughout i couldnt get onto the cboard, my browser was telling me it could not retrieve any data from www. and so on...
I asked some friends to check the site, and they couldnt even get onto it as well.
I suppose it was just the server which was down for some time right?
I agree. cprogramming.com and anything below it would not work on any computer under any situation.
I'm curious.
Probably the server was just down for maintenance or something. It's happened before, for a couple of weeks on one occasion.
Is this something that has reared its head before?
Are you talking about his posts? That's just something in his profile.
Yeah, I was talking about the posts. Did not know if that was something screwy or not.

In search of the perfect pizza: Hup's
I honestly cannot remember how or when I heard about Hup's Pizza, 5400 W. Hampton Ave., but the name kept popping up online and among a few friends, so I thought it was time to try it.
I called in my order, which was a challenge. I don't know if it was the phone or the guy on the other end, but everything he said was mumbled, so I had to ask him to repeat everything. Eventually, I ordered my usual sausage and pepperoni pie.
When I arrived, the building looked a little smaller than I expected from the picture I saw online. It was about the size of my garage, painted in green and red. It certainly had a historic look to it. I later learned from the staff that Hup's Pizza has been in business for 45 years, and I'm guessing they've been in the same building.
I entered the lobby and was surprised at how small it was, but I guess you don't need much space for carry-out orders. It must have been 6 feet by 6 feet. There were two of us in the lobby, and it felt crowded.
There was a menu board on the wall next to the pick-up window. The menu was hand-written and listed the pizza sizes and prices by number of toppings, along with a few other items such as garlic bread and cheese bread. The window was about 12 inches by 18 inches in the middle of the wall. There were no doors in the lobby that led to the kitchen. The employees entered through a back door.
I walked up to the window and looked to the right into the kitchen to try and make eye contact with one of the employees to let them know I was there. A young man greeted me and told me my pizza would be up in a couple of minutes. I slid my payment under the window and waited patiently. So far, this was an interesting experience.
Eventually I arrived home ready to eat my pizza. I appreciated that it was wrapped in two pizza bags to help protect my car and clothes from stains.
The first thing I noticed was that the toppings were loaded on. There was so much pepperoni, it almost completely covered the thick layer of cheese. The chunks of Italian sausage were also plentiful. Hup's clearly does not skimp on toppings.
The crust was very thin throughout. It was crispy around the outer edge and softer toward the center. Slices were cut in squares of various sizes. The sauce had a subtle spiciness to it, but the seasoning created a great flavor. (Well done, Hup's!)
Hup's pizzas are thin crust, and come in 12-inch or 14-inch sizes with prices starting at $10.99. There weren't any specialty pizzas listed, and the menu was simple. Low overhead has proven to be a good strategy for a successful business. I'm sure this also allows Hup's to focus on what they do best.
The flavorful sauce and abundance of toppings certainly make Hup's worthy of another visit someday, and maybe I'll get to meet the owner, Bobby Rogers. I'd love to learn about the history of Hup's and its recipes, as well as how many generations of family have been involved.
Unfortunately, he was not in the day of my visit, nor another day that I called and asked for him. All I was able to get was his name. With 45 years in business, there has to be a great story, or two, to share.
Observer | Nov. 15, 2012 at 6:57 p.m. (report)
A most unique pizza. If you grew up with it, you might consider the best in town.

Sice Hub's does not make thick crust pizzas i will not be eating any of their pizzas. I refuse to spend good money on paper thin crusts--Just like paying money for little to eat. I eat thick crust pizza. Great store ones available! But, would rather support local businessees that make pizzas from scratch. Pizza Man had the best thick crust pizzas. Too bad they did not re-locate after the fire. So miss Pizza Man eat in and take out!

My parents have been going to Hup's for probably close to 40 years now. Especially since my grandparents lived right around the corner. It's one of those places where it is a neighborhood speciality. And like the author stated, it only gets attention because of word of mouth, but is always mentioned. Still my favorite place for pizza, followed by a close second to Mama's (78th & Burleigh)

That nice spicy flavor you mention is a big part of why I like Hup's. It may not get the accolades of some of Milwaukee's best pizza joints, but it certainly deserves to be in the conversation.

Financial Software
Financial Software Questions? Ask IT Support for Answers ASAP
I recomend AGAINST using the quicken online backup. It is over priced and very difficult to use especially if you are trying to restore from it after a major computer failure. My advice is to take half the money that it costs and buy a couple of flash drives and backup to those. It is faster, easier and a lot more convenient to restore from.
If you do want to use it i will be happy to help. Exactly what message are you getting ?
The most common reasons for having a problem with it are
A. You havent paid for it or the credit card that you paid with expired.
You can give them a new credit card at this link
B. the online backup software itself is not installed. You can download and install it from this link
I assume that you got that when you ran the online backup install program in the second link.
Temporarily turn off any anti virus or security software that you are running
download that again. Select save rather than run
then rather than double clicking it to run it
right click on it and select "run as administrator"

That's why we asked TSB Partners to share their top Christmas tips. Each one has been selected to help you make the most of every penny this festive season. Because it's not about spending more. It's about friends, family and those personal touches that bring Christmas to life.Tip 1. Guarantee greeting cards get there in timeView this video on YouTube"878 million greeting cards were sent in 2014, but you don't have to spend money on first class stamps to ensure your cards get there on time. Just send them before December 19. This is the Royal Mail's cut off date for 2nd class mail." For all other dates, including international see their website: http://www.royalmail.com/greetingsAdam, Local Banker, Gainsborough BranchTip 2. Affordable (and tasty) Christmas decorationsView this video on YouTube"The average British household spends £43 pounds on Christmas trees, cards and decorations.

A smart way to make the kid's presents even betterView this video on YouTube"The first thing kids want to do when they rip open their presents is play. I suggest cutting those tough ties, and pre-filling the gift with batteries. Then they can play straight away, and you'll avoid any tantrums!"Chris, Bank Manager, Gainsborough Branch Tip 4. How to (financially) prepare for Christmas View this video on YouTube"Christmas is all about great preparation. It's true about the turkey. It's also true about your finances. And with 1 in 8 expected to experience a Christmas financial hangover, I suggest you pop into a TSB (or your bank) to talk about setting up text alerts and an agreed overdraft. This will help you manage your finances over the Christmas period, and save you from any surprises."Emma, Local Banker, Rutherglen BranchTip 5. How to freshen up your Christmas vegetablesView this video on YouTube"This is my top tip to revitalise any vegetables that are starting to get a little soft. Put them in cold water just before cooking. This can give them the drink they need to become crisp and delicious again."Fiona, Bank Manager, Holborn BranchTip 6. How to give presents that personal touchView this video on YouTube"My kids love to draw so we end up with stacks and stacks of paper. Rather than throwing it out, wrap your presents in them. The grandparents love it, it gets the kids involved and you'll save on expensive wrapping paper."Kai, Bank Manager, Chelmsford BranchTip 7. Make Christmas dinner go even furtherView this video on YouTube "Britons send over £64 million worth of Christmas food to the bin.

Quick and easy gifts the kids can makeView this video on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbhYcB60oc8"Kids love to give gifts but it can be costly to get something for all their teachers and friends. My tip is to run down to a pound shop, pick up a frame, some decorations and glue. Then supervise the kids as they decorate them. This is a great way to keep the kids busy and make some personal gifts."Lauren, Digital Team, TSB Head OfficeTip 10. A little tip to minimise that financial hangoverView this video on YouTube"14 million British people are expected to put Christmas on credit. If you think you'll have to it's important to think ahead so you can save as much as pos¬sible. You could consolidate any debt onto a low-rate card. This will save on interest in the long run and help to soothe that Christmas hangover."Nicola, Local Banker, St Vincent Street, Glasgow BranchTip 11. Keep unwanted gifts from staying unwantedView this video on YouTube"Each year £2.4 billion is spent on unwanted gifts. My tip is a simple one: keep the receipt in case they want to return the gift. Also, ask if the store does gift receipts, or if they can write 'gift' on their copy. This will help when returning a gift without the credit card that was used to purchase it."Ashton, Local Banker, Fountainbridge, Edinburgh BranchTip 12. Make opening gifts even more fun for kidsView this video on YouTube"Kids love to play with wrapping paper. Sometimes even more than the presents you spent ages finding! My tip is to wrap your gifts in kid-friendly tissue paper. It's fun and makes it easy for the little ones to rip up."Jo, Local Banker, Hessle BranchIf you are affected by serious financial difficulty this Christmas - or at any other time - talk to a TSB Partner in one of our branches or contact us .

Heather Sullivan of Waynesville and Paul Graham of Franklin examine clay tiles collected during a recent research program at Western focusing on the preservation of Cherokee heritage and culture. Among the activities during the project, students sampled local clays to test traditional methods of clay processing, pottery manufacture and use.
CULLOWHEE A group of Western Carolina University students spent much of the summer studying the diversity and preservation of Cherokee lands and heritage, a project that had them getting their hands dirty in an archaeological dig, conducting DNA studies of soil samples and examining microorganisms in elk droppings.
The seven undergraduate students were taking part in a 10-week interdisciplinary summer research project funded by a $40,000 grant from the National Conferences on Undergraduate Research. The program, designed to build upon Western's long-standing relationship with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, included students and faculty members from chemistry, anthropology, geosciences, natural resource management, Cherokee studies, environmental health and biology.
Cherokee heritage is an integral part of what makes the mountains of Western North Carolina so unique, and our students are in a wonderful position to learn about this place and learn from the people who have developed a way of life that had its origin here, said Jane M. Eastman, assistant professor in the department of anthropology and sociology and director of the Cherokee Studies Program at Western.
Even more than simply learning about Cherokee heritage and the Smoky Mountains, however, I hope our students may be able to contribute in some way to the exciting revitalization efforts in Cherokee, Eastman said. By taking a multidisciplinary approach, we hope to better understand aspects of Cherokee culture and their historic lands as they were in the past and as they are today.
The research program began in May as undergraduate students participated in an archaeological dig at a site on the Western campus, excavating materials from a Cherokee village. Students went on to conduct individual research projects focusing on local environmental diversity or cultural heritage. These projects included sampling local clays to test traditional methods of clay processing, pottery manufacture and use; sampling elk dung to study microbes in the reintroduced herd in the Cataloochee area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park; and attending powwows to observe dance competitions and exhibitions.
Students also utilized microbiological techniques, including DNA sequencing, to compare bacteria present in artifacts and soil samples taken from the archaeological dig, as they searched for floral and faunal evidence to help reconstruct past environmental conditions and cultural uses of natural resources at different times in the past.
Student participants presented posters on their projects in public sessions in Cherokee, and will report on their findings at the annual National Conferences on Undergraduate Research meeting in April 2006. Western will be eligible for another grant of $22,500 next year upon successful completion of the first year of the program.
Out of 30 proposals submitted nationally, Western's program is one of only two proposals selected for NCUR funding through a program supported by the Alice and Leslie E. Lancy Foundation.
NCUR is a not-for-profit organization committed to the promotion of undergraduate research and creative activity in all academic disciplines and at all institutions of higher learning. The NCUR/Lancy program encourages colleges and universities to devote more attention and resources to undergraduates who show promise of exceptional achievement. The program focus is on helping build communities of student and faculty scholars spanning the academic disciplines but working on a unifying theme.
The Lancy initiative is named in honor of Leslie Lancy, a successful electrochemist and businessman whose estate provides the funds and whose memory inspires the effort to launch this program. After putting himself through school, he founded Lancy Laboratories, which earned an international reputation for technical innovation. Throughout his life, Lancy hired a legion of bright, young students with limited financial resources who, like himself years earlier, were working their way through school.

Ratt: Stephen Pearcy
Monday, May 21, 6 p.m. ET
Ratt was one of the most best known heavy metal glam bands to emerge from the Los Angeles scene of the 1980s. Radio-friendly songs like Round and Round and Lay It Down became hits on the radio and MTV as the band rode the wave of fame. The '90s, however, were a different story, for all too familiar reasons: Grunge. Infighting. Drugs. On June 5th, Ratt lead singer Stephen Pearcy will face off in court with former bandmates Warren DeMartini and Bobby Blotzer to settle a long-running dispute over use-of-name rights to "Ratt" and wrongful termination. Talk to Stephen Pearcy about his past, present and future.

Volume 10, Issue 1: Childer
Douglas Wilson
So. What do Christian parents do when their eldest son wants an eyebrow ring? Generally, when these things
happen, parents don't have any problem going sideways in some fashion, but they usually do so on the basis of some
traditional value or other. However, the disintegration of the culture we see around us should have taught us a long time
ago that our traditional values are really nothing but a mud fence built to withstand a tidal wave.

Five Palestinians, including baby and women, killed by Israeli fire; U.S. demands Israel to withdraw from Hebron
Two Palestinians who tried early Sunday to attack a Jewish settlement on the Gaza Strip border were shot dead by Israeli forces. Three soldiers were wounded in this incident.
"Two armed Palestinian terrorists trying to penetrate the community of Yevul bumped into Israeli soldiers. In an exchange of fire, both of the terrorists were killed," a military source told Reuters.
In the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian was shot dead when a convoy of Israeli tanks and a bulldozer moved into the town of Rafah, Palestinian medical and security sources said.
Ibrahim Muhamed al-Ghuti, 26, died after being hit in the abdomen by gunfire from Israeli tanks early on Sunday, they said, according to AFP. About 15 Israeli tanks and a bulldozer entered the western side of Rafah taking over two buildings, they said.
The Palestinians reported that a three-year-old baby was also killed in the city. Witnesses and medics said that the toddler was killed in his bed when troops blew up a house next door. Palestinian medics identified the toddler as Tawfiq Brakeh and said his mother and a sister were wounded along with 25 other Palestinians in neighbouring homes.
The Palestinians said the soldiers blew up five houses, while Israeli army officials said one house was blown up and other houses were damaged when the troops came in and destroyed the tunnels.
West Bank
Palestinian sources said Sunday that a 40-year-old woman was killed and two of her children were wounded by Israeli tank fire in the West Bank city of Jenin. The sources said that the woman and her children were traveling in a taxi when it was targeted by a tank shell.
The children were taken to a hospital in Jenin
On Saturday, a Palestinian teenager was shot dead by Israeli bullets in the northern West Bank town of Tulkarem, Palestinian medical sources and witnesses said.
Taher Abu Haatu, 19, died after being hit in the chest by machine-gun fire from Israeli tanks which entered the town in the evening, medical sources said. Haatu was standing outside his house during the hours of curfew when three Israeli tanks entered the city and began shooting into the streets, they added. Israel Radio reported that two soldiers were injured in Tulkarem.
The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Daniel Kurtzer, sent a strongly worded message to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office over the weekend, saying Israel had not met promises to ease tough restrictions imposed on the Palestinians, a diplomatic source said.
Washington is also demanding that Israel move forward on the Palestinian track, and withdraw - soon - from one or two cities on the West Bank.
Ahead of Sharon's departure for a meeting in Washington with President George W. Bush, the Americans have delivered messages to Sharon, calling on Israel to turn security over to the Palestinian Authority in Hebron, or some other West Bank city; to lessen pressures on residents of the territories; and to create mechanisms for the transfer of tax revenue from the Finance Ministry to PA coffers, Haaretz reported.
Sharon departs Monday night for the U.S..
Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer said Israel was intending to implement a new security plan which would see Israeli troops pulling out of Hebron.
"We've tried the Gaza and Bethlehem First (plan) but in Gaza it didn't work, so we want to implement the Bethlehem model in Hebron", the minister told reporters Sunday while en route to a 48-hour visit to Paris. Ben Eliezer did not elaborate further on the proposal, nor was there any indication of when it might take place.
PA Cabinet
On the political front, Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat was to name a new Cabinet soon to replace one that resigned.
Arafat's aides said Saturday the new Cabinet would be named within 10 days. Nabil Abu Rudeinah, Arafat spokesman said Arafat's Cabinet "will be appointed within the coming 10 days" and said it was "expected to include new faces."
"The new government will exert efforts to end the occupation, prepare for the elections and to continue the process of reform," Abu Rudeinah conveyed.
Another senior Palestinian official said Arafat might announce a new cabinet even sooner. (Albawaba.com)

Psalms 100:
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
Know the Lord is God!
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
For the Lord is good:
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say, Rejoice. Let all know your forebearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18:
"Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
What are your thanks and praises?
I'm thankful to be back in college after doing the work thing for a number of
years. Completing a college has been a life-long dream of mine. I'm also
thankful for my health, and for God sending encouragement and help my way
when I'm feeling down. Oh, and I'm very thankful for Candace's hard work in
creating and maintaining this excellent site! Candace, may God renew your
strength like the eagles and send you help so you don't have to do it all by
I am dating a non-Christian and I finally got him to go with me
to church he loved how enthusiastic I was and he was raised Catholic. He
had never been to a Baptist church before but I saw God opening him up to
me and that next day I dropped to my knees and thanked God that He gave me
such a wonderful man to share my life with. I am not the most extraverted
person on earth but with him I feel I can say or do anything something I
can't say about anyone else. What I'm trying to say is that God is both
working in my life and his and He is bringing us closer together meanwhile
God and I are becoming closer also because I know God provided someone I
can talk to when everyone else does not want to listen and I am proud to
call myself a Christian, because God knew what I needed and provided
it. Too often we forget that God does care.
Praise the Lord Our God for leading me out of strife...that I might regain life!
He led me out of the darkest part of my life and allowed me to rebuild
my life and relationships (one in particular).
I am thankful this year that I found a church home after over 10 years, at Broadway United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, IN. Broadway is very sincere about their mission statement of being "A multi-cultural Christian community that seeks, welcomes, and values all people." There are many gay and lesbian people at Broadway as well as many straight folks, but it's never an "us-and-them" feeling there--gay or straight, at Broadway it truly doesn't matter. We are all there for the same reason--to praise God.

Perhaps it was just me, but I thought I detected a note of regret at this morning's session of the House of Representatives financial services committee about the House's rush last week to tax 90 per cent of bonuses at institutions that have taken public funding.
The main business of the session was to grill Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, and Tim Geithner, Treasury secretary, on matters including the AIG bonuses and their request to be granted more authority to seize and wind down insolvent non-banks. Read more

Brand Name(s): Diovan
CAS nº: 137862-53-4
What is Valsartan?
Valsartan belongs to the class of medicines called angiotensin II inhibitors. It is used to treat high blood pressure.
This medicine is also used to treat heart failure, lower the need for hospitalization that happens from heart failure, and even treat left ventricular dysfunction after a heart attack.
Valsartan works by blocking the action of a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, valsartan relaxes blood vessels which in turn lowers the blood pressure.

Social engineering involves deceiving victims into unwittingly disclosing confidential information or pursuing a fraudulent action. Social engineering is often used in phishing schemes. Cybercriminals rely on most people's natural inclination to be helpful and use this to convince those with network access or other important secret information to disclose it. Looking over someone's shoulder and quickly memorizing their passwords is one of the most basic tactics, as is dumpster diving, in which garbage is sorted through in order to find information that could be useful in breaking into a network. Eavesdropping as well as appeals to people's vanity or their authority are additional ways in which information can be obtained from unwitting sources. Most importantly, however, is the social engineer's ability to take advantage of the fact that people are often ignorant of how valuable certain information is and how closely it should be guarded. In this respect, security experts warn that because we are becoming more and more dependent on technology, social engineering will remain the biggest threat to security systems. In order to protect you and your organization from social engineering, one should never give out or write down their passwords, choose passwords that are not common and therefore difficult to guess, be aware of what information is to be protected and always shred documents with sensitive information.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will make his first public speech since the 2012 election at a noteworthy gathering of conservatives next month.
Romney plans to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on March 15, offering his first extended remarks about national affairs and the conservative movement since losing the November election to President Barack Obama.
The former Massachusetts governor has maintained a low profile since the election, spending time at his Southern California home and rarely venturing into Washington fights over taxes, spending and Cabinet nominees. He met with supporters in Washington after the election and joined Obama for lunch at the White House but has yet to offer a public critique of Obama's second term or advice on a way forward for Republicans.
Romney's speech will come as many Republicans offer prescriptions for the party's disappointing 2012 election and look to a new generation of leaders to compete with Democrats. A Romney adviser said the CPAC speech would give Romney an opportunity to express his appreciation to friends and supporters of his campaign.
Romney has a long history at the conference, which draws some of the leading voices in the Republican party every year. He has won several CPAC straw polls and announced he was ending his 2008 presidential campaign at the conference.
Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, which organizes CPAC, said they were looking forward to hearing Romney's views on the current state of affairs in the nation and around the world and "the future of the conservative movement."
Other speakers at the March 14-16 conference include: Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Romney's speech was first reported by the National Review.

Self Taught Piano
Self taught piano is something you can do if you don't have the option of going to lessons. It's also great if you want to try out the piano before deciding to do it more seriously and finding a teacher; there are also people who have learnt the piano to a very high standard without having a lesson in their life, and for many, this is a great way to learn.
There are a couple of paths that you can take when self teaching; totally on your own, playing along with piano recordings and trying to imitate what you hear and see, or with the help of books, DVDs, articles, anything that you can get your hands on to help you learn and improve your playing. The second path is probably the fastest and best way to transform yourself into that amazing pianist that you've always wanted to become.
It can be great being your own teacher, learning what you want when you want and for how long, so get together some resources, books, DVDs etc, anything that interests you and start learning at your own pace. Start with the beginner levels and work your way up until you reach the level that you're happy with.
If you're serious about self learning
Self taught piano is great for people that have teachers as well, it's so rewarding going to your piano lesson and showing your piano teacher something that you've learnt all on your own.
Piano teachers are fantastic for helping you to learn and improve your playing, but remember; you are your best teacher, you're the one that decides how to use the information that you get, be it from a DVD, book or even your piano teacher, so keep learning, practicing and have some fun along the way.

The degrees and courses offered through our college are crucial to students' understanding connections between the past, present and future, connections between their own experiences and the world they live in, and connections between their education and leadership opportunities.
The discovery of new knowledge
Courses in the humanities and social sciences serve an important role in the general education of students because they promote intellectual engagement and effective communication, encourage critical thinking, support the discovery of new knowledge and promote an understanding and appreciation of diversity.
Degrees in humanities and social science disciplines prepare students for graduate degrees or professional schools, provide career opportunities in diverse professions, and teach students how to actively participate in our global society. Today, more than ever, courses and degrees in the liberal arts remain at the central core of what it means to be educated.
Dr. Justin Castro, assistant professor of history, recently published an article, "Sounding the Mexican Nation: Intellectuals, Radio Broadcasting, and the Revolutionary State in the 1920s" in The Latin Americanist, a peer-reviewed journal. The essay examines the works of intellectuals who were involved in shaping Mexico City broadcasting, which became essential in politics and business following the Mexican Revolution. The article is available online. Castro also was interviewed by KAIT-TV about the impact of easing travel restrictions to Cuba.
Linda Brady, instructor in criminology and sociology, received the National Society of Collegiate Scholars distinguished member award for exemplifying NSCS's goals of service, leadership and pursuit of academic achievement through her service as a faculty member. Students who nominated Brady cited her continuous dedication to the those she serves and making sure that they understand the classroom material she presents.

The Very Best of Cher [Warner Bros #1] (2003)
by Cher

Show synopsis Since it's a cross-licensed, 21-track collection, it stands to reason that Warner Strategic Marketing's 2003 The Very Best of Cher is finally the Cher collection that gets it right, presenting a fully rounded portrait of her long, winding, multi-label career. It's not, but it's closer than any previous collection, eclipsing Hip-O's 2001 The Ultimate Collection by containing hits from every aspect of her career, from Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" to her 1999 comeback, "Believe" and beyond to the new, Rodney Jerkins-produced "A Different Kind of Love Song" (yes, it does feature heavy vocoder work). Where other collections emphasized her '70s hits, this focuses on the Geffen work, which may be appropriate since they rarely appeared on hits compilations before this, along with the late-'90s comeback on Warner. This is all pushed toward the front, taking up the first 11 songs, which, frankly, is infuriating sequencing, especially since it bounces between the Geffen album rock and the post-house, neo-disco of the Warner years. Also, there is simply too much Warner material, given that apart from "Believe" it was entirely too generic and also not big hits. They nearly knock the collection off track by providing a dead stretch in the middle of the record before it regains momentum with 1979's "Take Me Home" and then more or less works its way back to her beginning. This is a bewildering choice in sequencing, and it hurts the general listenablity of the record; even if all periods are represented and all the big hits are here, the lack of logic leads to a herky-jerky sequencing that is tiring on the ear. That said, this does have all the big hits -- "Believe," "If I Could Turn Back Time," "Just Like Jesse James," "After All," "I Found Someone," "The Shoop Shoop Song," "All I Really Want to Do," "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)," "Half-Breed," "Gypsies Tramps & Thieves," among them. And even if the presentation leaves a lot to be desired, it's still nice to have all these in one place. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Do you think that if the rules on celibacy were loosened, this would change things considerably?
First undergo a rectal exam, celibacy lecture, and waiting period.
I had decided that celibacy was the way to go when I met a fellow combat arms officer, who was gay.
The most eminent of the early Fathers commended asceticism, particularly fasting and celibacy, and many likewise practised it.
The merit of celibacy is a very old religious idea in Hindostan.
Paul's teaching is strongly in favour of celibacy, and marriage is only advised to avoid a greater evil.
"celibacy has no place in our idea or our system of religion, depend on it," said Carlton.
celibacy and abstinence are rarely observed in their monasteries but these are by no means of low repute.
It does not consist in celibacy, or in begging, or in vile apparel.
No person who has taken holy orders which involve a solemn vow to celibacy can contract a valid marriage.
1660s, formed in English, with -cy + Latin caelibatus "state of being unmarried," from caelebs "unmarried," probably from PIE root *kaiwelo- "alone" + lib(h)s- "living."

I am going bleary-eyed reading about stuffing and the whys and whats of stuffing the bird or just baking separately.
Please tell me why or why not, as I'm in charge of the turkey. FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
I'm probably going to go with a basic, traditional stuffing since my family is a group of the pickiest eaters ever. (Which makes me sad since if I had my druthers I'd make a cornbread oyster stuffing. Que sera.)

Supermodel Lara Stone Stars in The Black Keys' 'Weight of Love' Video
WARNING: NSFW/Brief Nudity (Note that anytime a music video is uploaded to Vimeo instead of YouTube, there's a good chance this is the reason)
The Black Keys have released a music video (more of a short film) for Weight of Love. The song is the first track from their Turn Blue album.
Previously, the band released a video for Fever from Turn Blue. A clip of that video is played at the beginning of Weight of Love. Throughout the film we see clips of the Fever video. There is a reason for this, but we do not know what it is.
Supermodel Lara Stone stars in the video as the leader of a cult of women. The women perform rituals, live, and work on the beach. The video was directed by Theo Warner.
While Fever was a mock infomercial of a televangelist, Weight of Love is a beautifully shot semi-NSFW masterpiece.

Mood Board : Gold
Mood Board : Gold
We have 2 fantastic mood boards to share with you today from Bijoux Bride and PocketfulofDreams
It seems that gold as a theme is becoming popular and we think (as do the ladies that made the boards) that it's going to be a big trend for 2012. Although classic colours are still very much evident in the themes the choice of gold as a main or accent colour is becoming more popular with brides looking to get married next year. Being such a strong statement it's important that elements are combined to create a look that is both beautiful, classic and striking whilst not going over the top into opulent extravagance.
Having said that gold isn't a colour to shy away from either so at the other end of the scale if you want to go big….GO BIG and ensure that your gold pieces are amazing!
Bijoux Bride Green and Gold Mood Board
PocketfulofDreams Gold Mood Board
Our Flowers
Gold is a difficult colour to match flowers to so it's often the best policy to ensure the flowers choices compliment rather than clash with the golden theme. As can be seen above the use of white, creams and greens is a perfect match as the white & creams allow the gold to shine whilst the green gives a natural balance that stops the gold getting carried away with itself. As gold is a very strong choice and makes a fantastic statement we don't need to over elaborate our flowers or colours as simple and classic is definately the best choice here.
The flowers below (roses and chrysanthemums) are quintessentially classic and depending on the dress we feel match gold perfectly as they are strong full flowers that can stand on their own as a piece and by adding golden thread or ribbon would be perfect for the mood boards above.
