Paris (Jun. 15)
Mr. Nahum Sokolov, the President of the Zionist World Organisation and the Jewish Agency for Palestine, was received to-day by the President of the Republic, M. Lebrun, who is a member of the French Pro-Palestine Committee, and was before his recent election as head of the State.
Mr. Sokolov has also seen M. Justin Godart, the Minister of Health, who is President of the French Pro-Palestine Committee, and M. Leon Blum, the Leader of the French Socialist Party, who is a member of the Jewish Agency Council.
The reception which was to have been given in honour of Mr. Sokolov at the Hotel Majestic to-night, at which M. Justin Godart was to have presided, has been abandoned because Mr. Sokolov is leaving this evening for London.

Haifa (Dec. 18)
An interesting land dispute will be revived before the Land Court here on December 21, when the court hears the complaint of a Turkish lady, Geuzide Hanoum, daughter of Hairi Bey, who was Kaimakam of Haifa forty-five years ago, against the Carmelite Convent on Mount Carmel.
The lady, who is married to an Englishman, Mr. Lermitte, employed with the Iraq Petroleum Company, entered suit in 1931, against the Convent and 28 persons, contending that the land bequeathed to her by her father included that on which the Convent stood. She claims about 70 dunams, whose value is estimated at £20,000, Proof of the claim is a Turkish title-deed made out in her father's name to an area of 3 dunams. She asserts that the land on which the Convent stands and the other land come within the scope of this deed since in Turkish times areas were registered for smaller sizes than they actually were owing to the desire to evade payment of taxes, against the Convent only.
At the first sitting of the Court early in 1932, it decided that as each of the 29 respondents had separate title-deeds, suits should be brought against each. The complainant abandoned the cases against the 28 others and brought suit against the Convent only.
The Convent produced in court an earlier deed than that of the complainant's and for a larger area, namely 750 dunams.

GlobeSpan, Centillium speed upgrades wrinkle G.Lite protocol
Post a comment
SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Just when protocol issues have been settled in the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) market, two chip makers have thrown the industry into confusion by possibly driving yet another new, high-speed standard for the technology.
The move could push out the mass deployment and market acceptance of consumer-oriented ADSL technology even further, according to analysts.
The two ADSL chip makers, Centillium Communications Inc. and GlobeSpan Inc., have created new wrinkles in the consumer-oriented G.Lite space by separately announcing products that double the data-throughput rates of this technology from 1.5 Mbits/sec. to 3 or 4 Mbits/sec.
But by doubling the data rates of G.Lite, the two companies have strayed from this standard to some degree, reportedly driving a new, higher-speed version of the technology, which is being referred to as G.Lite Plus.
Saying that they are not forging a new standard, Centillium and GlobeSpan claim they are giving carriers and OEMs the option to deploy a more competitive version of G.Lite technology. To date, major carriers have not deployed G.Lite due to its lackluster performance rates and interoperability issues, analysts said.
Although G.Lite Plus sounds promising, the technology will put the ADSL industry in further chaos and could push out the overall acceptance of G.Lite, according to Kim Funasaki, an analyst at International Data Corp. in Mountain View, Calif.
The G.Lite Plus concept "creates more confusion in the market," Funasaki said. "It could also force OEMs and carriers to delay their overall [G.Lite] deployments. What the industry should do is decide on a single standard and stick to it."
Competitive ADSL chip suppliers agreed. "I'm not sure what [G.Lite Plus] really gives you," said Dan DeGuzman, senior manager of ADSL products at Lucent Technologies Inc.'s Microelectronics Group, Allentown, Pa. "What [Centillium and GlobeSpan] are saying is: 'Forget the G.Lite standard. It really doesn't matter.'"
Others also dismissed G.Lite Plus, saying the technology has already bombed in the industry.
"It's old news," said Brian Gillings, vice president of marketing at ADSL chip maker Integrated Telecom Express Inc. (ITeX). "We tried the same thing last year, but the telecom companies are saying that G.Lite is not the right way to go. They want a technology that is scalable."
For its part, however, GlobeSpan believes that the market is ripe for a higher-speed G.Lite technology, which still falls under the specifications of the so-called G.dmt standard.
"There has been some talk in the industry about G.Lite Plus, but I would not say that we're pushing a new standard," said Andrew Weitzner, product manager at GlobeSpan, located in Red Bank, N.J. "We're just giving customers the option to deploy their systems at higher speeds."
Instead of pushing G.Lite, ITeX Inc. this week announced a multirate ADSL chip set based on a software-modem technology. The company's so-called SAM (Scalable ADSL Modem) product provides full-rate-ADSL capabilities at half the cost and power of traditional chip set solutions, according to the Santa Clara, Calif., company.
"ITeX is bringing ADSL technology to the masses," said Rich Forte, president and chief executive of ITeX. "We have announced a full-rate software-modem technology for sub-$1,000 PCs."
The product is now available for $25 in quantities of 1,000. In high volume, the product is less than $18.
GlobeSpan meanwhile is offering a software upgrade to its Titanium Fourte family of multirate, DSL-based chipset lines, which would drive the speed of G.Lite technology from 1.5 Mbits/sec. to 4 Mbits/sec. The Titanium Fourte chipset, now available, supports G.Lite, full-rate ADSL, rate-adaptive ADSL (RADSL), and Japan's ADSL standard.
Also raising the bar was Centillium. The company announced an eight-port chip for central-office applications that it said boosts G.Lite speeds from 1.5 to 3 Mbits/sec.
However, a spokeswoman for Centillium, Fremont, Calif., said, "We are not driving a new standard."

very tasty
This makes an excellent dry curry - I usually use cauliflower, potatoes and spinach with fresh, skinned tomatoes. Makes a very tasty side dish or a main with the addition of chickpeas.

Very tasty
Never made Bombay Potatoes before, but this was really easy and very tasty. Could give my local take-away a run for its money anyday. Will def be buying again.

nice ........ but
This may seem a tad unfair giving one star as the product was quite nice and actually does the job for the completely lazy or naive cook.. The 'but' comes in when you consider what is in the packet and at what price. Look at the ingredients. You can do this yourself for 10p if you hVe the five ingredients already and with adequate research also give them a little taste boost too.

Nicely Spicy
My family love Bombay Potatoes as part of any Indian meal and this is the first time I have made my own. It was so much nicer than the ready meal and not too much effort that I will definitely be making this again.

The entire family fell on this - it is easy to make, and sufficient spice mix to make a larger portion which we did, chilled the leftovers and had them later in the week with a slightly different dish!!! Amazing.

"but was beaten to the cab by another passenger"
beaten???????????????????? HUH????????
According to a recent article in The Beijing Evening News and translated here, 50 new Chery A5 hybrid taxis are now in service across Beijing. The Beijinger photographer Simon Lim caught this photo of one of the new cabs over at Jiaodaokou earlier this morning, but was beaten to the cab by another passenger.
Seven of Beijing's various taxi companies have been running the taxis, the first batch of "weak-hybrid" vehicles to enter China's taxi market, since late June. The taxi's have
Hybird Electric Vehicle (混合动力汽车 Hunhe Dongli Qiche) written across the door. According to the article:
The 'weak-hybrid' model uses gasoline as its main power, and its working engine will recharge a special cell in the vehicle. The electric power will start to work for the vehicle at idle or initial speed. When the speed reaches 5km/h and above, the power program will switch back to gasoline. This power system, which is suitable for cars on the often-congested Beijing roads and streets, can reduce a vehicle's fuel consumption by 15%.
In other taxi news:
Due to a recent rise in petrol prices, the subsidy paid out to Beijing's taxi drivers has been increased by 525 kuai to RMB 1,305 a month. Despite this, there have been anecdotal reports of an increase in late night cab fares and the price rate jumping once the meter passes 50 kuai.
Special taxis that are able to transport passengers in wheelchairs were also unveiled this week. The new cabs resemble the shape of a black London cab but come in Beijing's own distinctive two tone color scheme. The cabs can be booked by calling 961001. Only 15 of the 70 cabs on order have been released so far. Non-disabled passengers will also be able to ride in the spacious cabs, which cost the same as a regular cab and can sit 5 people in the rear.
Beijing's traffic police have announced that they'll be cracking down on the city's cabbies for the rest of the month. They'll be making sure that drivers, among other things, keep their cab clean, only accept passengers in designated taxi zones and are also threatening drivers with a fine of up to RMB 2000 if they deliberately take passengers on a longer route than is necessary.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/2/2014 (1285 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonleyhearts: I just met a sweet guy on an airplane and we had so much fun together, we actually kissed each other goodbye. What a kiss! It went on and on. Neither of us are married, but he lives in South America and I live here in Manitoba. What, if anything, can we do now? -- Missing Him, East Kildonan
Dear Missing Him: Enjoy the memory of that kiss and the things you chatted about on the plane -- where people seem to express themselves more freely. That'd be the best end result. Doesn't seem like much, does it? But,trying to make something out of a few hours of flight experience when this guy lives on another continent is too much work for too little reward. If you like to be held and kissed and hugged and made love to, this man doesn't have long enough arms or legs to stretch across the miles. But, if you both want each other, there's always the Internet, and trips -- and some people have gotten together and made it work.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My boyfriend went cold as ice when I got sick. I had the flu a couple of weeks ago and he ignored me, except to throw me clean bedding and magazines and to run out of the kitchen if I went in there to make myself food and drinks.
He brought me nothing, not one Kleenex! He said nothing comforting, absolutely no sympathy. He just stayed out of my way. And how did he justify sleeping on the couch and not talking to me at all? "I know you wouldn't want to make me sick, too," he said. "That would be selfish of you."
Well, antibiotics may have killed the bug in me, but they can't kill the terrible way I feel about him now. This morning I found myself thinking about him and then I got out a big suitcase and started throwing things into it. He said, "What the heck do you think you're doing? We have a lease together!" He didn't say, "I love you, I'm sorry. I've been such a mean jerk." He just mentioned the lease. What should I do? I'm young. I want to go home to my parents. -- Stunned By the Deep Freeze, Westwood
Dear Stunned: You are with a young man who treats you like you're a germ and doesn't help you when you're sick and need his love, attention and help. Fair-weather friends do not make good mates. If he was so afraid of catching what you had -- but still wanted to look after you -- he could have worn a mask but still brought you food, love, conversation and comfort.
Tell him you were stunned and deeply hurt by his coldness when you were ill. Say this: "We have to talk to the landlord and get a sublet." They may already have a lineup for suites and let you out of the lease. Tell your boyfriend he can sign on to take over your half of the lease as well, if he wants to stay. He may want to bring in one of his friends. There are many ways to do this but DO NOT go for a verbal agreement only. See your landlord and everybody involved signs.
Please send your questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg R2X 3B6

CLEARWATER — There was an air of inevitability to the Class 5A, District 11 championship match. The bracket was set up for it. Fans wanted it. Players expected it.
And they all got the final they wanted.
A championship matchup between Clearwater and East Lake, anticipated since the season began, became a reality when both teams won semifinals Wednesday.
The county powers will meet at 7 Friday night at Clearwater.
The Tornadoes, the No. 2 seed, advanced by beating Tarpon Springs 25-20, 25-17, 25-17. It was the third time this season Clearwater (19-7) swept the Spongers.
"Tarpon Springs has a lot of talent and they're getting better," Tornadoes coach Kara Betourne said. "I felt like we played well, but it was a tough match."
Betourne praised the play of setter Kahley Patrick, who distributed the ball well. The biggest benefactor of Patrick's crisp passes was Jen Opper, who controlled the middle.
In the second semifinal, the top-seeded Eagles swept Seminole for the fourth time this season, 25-14, 25-16, 25-15.
East Lake (23-2) was led by Brittnay Estes (10 kills) and Jackie Wegner (eight kills, seven aces).
"This was a tuneup for us," Eagles coach Terry Small said. "We wanted to stay focused and not look past anything."
The showdown Friday marks the fifth time East Lake and Clearwater have met this season.
The Eagles have won all four with the first match going five games and the last three each ending in three, including last week's Pinellas County Athletic Conference semifinal.
"We all hoped to get to this point and play each other again," Betourne said. "We know what we have to do."

Little Cocoa Liege Waffles
Maybe it's because I'm a late February baby, but I've always had a thing for Valentine's Day. Abundance of twee notwithstanding, I just sort of love the idea of a Love Day. Granted, there have been years when I was Valentine-less, but even then I guess it was the hope that one day I would have a Permanent Valentine that buoyed me, along with a legit excuse to get chocolate wasted. These days, I still get chocolate wasted on Valentine's Day, and this year in particular I'm pretty excited about celebrating some Big Love with our Little Family. There's a lot that's happened in the past several months, plenty of ups and downs and stressing until I think I might lose it (and on a couple of occasions I totally have). But we might (maybe? Please, universe?) be entering a bit of sweet spot right now, a little calm before the next inevitable storm. And so I say, bust out the chocolate. Turn dessert into breakfast, or vice versa. And good grief, don't forget the Champagne.
Homemade Müesli
People, my cabinets are an unholy disaster. And I don't mean that in a humblebraggy, Pinterest-y "Oh, my kitchen is so MESSY! Look at how crooked my Weck jars are on my sparkling clean refrigerator shelves!" kind of way. I'm talking about half-opened boxes and bags of every ingredient imaginable, shoved haphazardly into any available square inch of real estate. Pulling anything out is like a game of Cellophane Wraps and Cardboard Box Jenga. It's not cute. I mean, I do actually own Weck jars, purchased long ago with the intention of having a Pinterest-worthy pantry situation going on, but now they're shoved into the back of the hoarder's lair, probably surrounded by some spilled jasmine rice from that week in 2011 when I was very into trying to cook more exotic dinners, and then realized I had a kid who wouldn't eat anything but buttered noodles. Gah.
The situation kind of reached a new level of insanity after the holidays, though. With all the new recipe development I've had going on, plus holiday baking, the amount of edible odds and ends has multiplied at an alarming rate. Every time I step into the kitchen I get very Joan Crawford, flapping my arms and shouting things like, "I simply cannot WORK under these conditions!!" and then pouring myself a Weck jar full of vodka before retiring to my chaise lounge.
Let's Do Brunch!
It's New Year's Eve, y'all! Wowza. As I type this, I have a huge, almost 10-month-old baby in my lap and a 5-year-old in the living room, who is on (a rather unnecessarily long, really) winter break from Big Kid School. Unreal! 2013, you were a crazy one. I'm not even going to get into the ups and downs and utter confusion that marked this year for me–does the internet really need more year-end oversharing? So I'll just say that like a lot of you, I'm looking forward to a new year, new projects, and an all-around new attitude. Not to mention more full nights of sleep, which I finally started getting around here during the past week. (Hey, it only took 10 months! Blergh.)
I hope everyone has lovely plan to ring in 2014, whether that means some fancy gala that calls for hair and makeup and something sparkly to wear (Ooh! Tell me, what is that like?) or if you're doing something more our speed, which is to say a celebration involving comfy pants, (spiked) hot chocolate, popcorn, and the East Coast feed of the ball drop because seriously, I can't do midnight anymore. Whatever you do, I hope it's full of fun and love and hope and promise. Really, truly. We all deserve a great 2014. Can you hear me, universe?!
But first, priorities. Brunch planning! New Year's Brunch, to be specific. Let's do this year up right by starting with some epic eats. And I don't mean a whole homemade spread, although if you're doing that, I'd love to come over. For me, it's about one great dish or a special side thing to make the first day of the year a little extra special. Bonus points if said thing has make-ahead elements to gently massage you into the morning. No need to be bursting out of a cannon on Day One and making the rest of us look bad. Let's save that action for some especially warm, sunny day in early June.
First up? Bacon and Caramelized Onion Tart. (See top photo) Because if you're going to have bacon and eggs, why not repackage the whole thing and blow minds?
Gingerbread Caramel Corn
Is anyone else feeling like a total Grown Up Cliche this holiday season? I don't know if it's because I'm actually older, or that I have two kids now and they've sucked everything from me including my brain cells and my metabolism or WHAT, but I don't think I've ever felt the craziness of the holidays quite like this year. Oof. And who has two thumbs and hasn't even started thinking about shopping for gifts? This lady. Fa-la-la-la-la!!!
Top of the Grown Up Cliche list is three holiday parties in the same weekend, and no idea how we're going to fit them all in. You too? Excellent. So let's talk hostess gifts. Maybe my Midwestern-ness is showing, but I do think it's nice to show up with a little something for folks insane enough to throw a big holiday gathering, especially considering how much effort that entails–shopping, running, organizing, obsessing, cleaning, and then re-cleaning once its all over. I'd say that kind of effort calls something thoughtful, festive, and preferably edible, so that the host/hostess doesn't have to find a place to put another freaking scented candle that they'll probably never use, in addition to having to re-scrub the bathroom once all the guests leave. So how about a big bag of Gingerbread Caramel Corn? Oh, and bourbon. Lots.
Quirk DIY Book Club & A Major 'Pure Vanilla' Giveaway!
Ohhh, the food hangover. I'm writing this from my hometown of Chicago, which is basically the best place in the entire universe to celebrate Thanksgiving (I may be a bit biased). We've had fantastic late fall weather (very cold for these now-Californian bones, but very little wind, which really is what kills ya out here), great food, and lots of much-needed family time. I hope wherever you are, even if you're not in a Thanksgiving-celebrating place, you're doing the same.
But let's get real.
Now that November is on its way out, we're about to get into some hardcore crazy holiday times. Shopping and decorating and baking and holding empty threats over our children's heads so they'll behave or finish their dinners, lest they get nothing but coal. Fun times! Might I suggest a little something to kickstart your holiday shopping?
Quirk Books, the wonderful publisher of my first two books, knows how to get folks into a holiday gift-giving frenzy. Through their Quirk DIY Book Club, they offer all kinds of creative titles that are perfect for the crafty types on your holiday shopping list. This month, their featured title is Pure Vanilla, woo-hoo! What this means is that for the month of December you can buy the eBook of PV for a mere $3.99. Hot! And because the Quirk people love my people (read: you), they're offering up TEN free copies for me to give away. Heck yes!
To win one, just enter below using the Rafflecopter (note that you'll get extra entries for following on Twitter, Facebook, etc.). Winners will be notified by e-mail after December 8th!
Honeyed Hot Chocolate
Ooh-whee, are you feelin' the Fall, people? We are, even in San Francisco. As per usual, the sunshine and blue skies have finally joined us just in time for temperature to drop, which I can never quite get used to. You know what else I can't get used to? Daylight savings time. Before children, this used to mean an extra hour of sleep, and feeling even cozier in the late afternoon as the sun dropped out of the sky earlier and earlier. Kind of dreamy. But all this means now is that my kids' sleeping schedules are even more terrible than usual, and I have less hours in the day to try and get a decent photograph of some really great hot chocolate for you (I give up; see above). Bah. Luckily I've had a few fun things going on that have buoyed my mood and kept me from jumping off the roof in a premature Seasonal Affective Disorder tirade:
1. Our big Kindergarten girl has really started reading and writing and generally blowing us away with her hilarity. She's started lamenting the fact that she can't walk to and from school alone like all the "collegers". "Collegers" meaning the older kids in her school. Invented, earnestly delivered words are the best words.
2. My baby boy is still very much a baby, but is now eight (!) months old. Which means that we are officially in the Very Best Stage with him, the stage that makes people have babies in the first place: squidgy, babbling, present, funny, lovable, crawling, sitting up, and getting into things that I didn't even know were in my house. Never mind that I still haven't had a full night's sleep since February, right?
3. Honeyed Hot Chocolate, which I will get to in a bit.
4. I'm actually back to work–teaching a class here and there, doing all kinds of recipe development with exciting new ingredients (more on that soon), and realizing that the importance of having some kind of creative project going can't be overstated, especially for moms. Even within the madness of mothering two small people, making my own creative life a priority has supercharged me in a whole new way. I feel like a better version of myself, a better mother, generally just more excited to be in the world. I can't help but wonder what the world might be like if every mother took the time to nuture her creative self as much as she does her children. With the way we mothers can multitask, can you imagine the results? We could start a revolution! And here is where I get a little Oprah on you for a sec.
Baking Booster: Bittersweet Chocolate
So here we are, careening towards the holidays. Please stop the train, I need to get off.
Fortunately, there is something to look forward to in all this calendar-flipping madness. The good part is that the best of high baking season is coming up soon! Let's make it great this year, friends. Let's break out our best tried-and-true recipes and magazine clippings that we shoved away and haven't gotten to yet. Stock up on flours and sugars and pounds of butter. Finally buy a dang candy thermometer and get to some old-fashioned confectionery magic (you can do it!!). Wrestle the baking sheets out from under the everyday pots and pans and fire up the oven. And hey, even let your kids get into the fray! (I'm speaking for my Type A self here–it's not my favorite thing to bake with little ones underfoot and under armpit; there I said it.)
But here's a top tip that I think has changed my baking for the better: Reach for the bittersweet chocolate this year, even if your recipe calls for semi-sweet or milk. I'm talking at least 60 to 70% cacao, nice and dark. Because nothing balances out a sea of sweet quite like it. In the same way that a good hit of salt or acid (like lemon juice or buttermilk) makes sweet things all the more craveworthy, a slight bitter edge can also add the kind of balance that makes you unable to resist taking just one. More. Bite. Tastebud trickery! Plus, if you really love chocolate, bittersweet is just that much more chocolaty, because it's got more cacao power AND it has less fat and sugar, both of which can coat and confuse the tongue and keep you from getting the ultimate chocolate experience.

TAMPA — The bulletin-board battle between North Carolina State and USF added another chapter Tuesday as defensive coordinator Wally Burnham fired back at the Wolfpack for a comment made last week.
USF's defense took a shot from N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien, who told reporters he saw no reason to consult with the Bulls about stopping the spread offense, as Ohio State and Colorado coaches did in the offseason after USF beat West Virginia for the second year in a row.
"Did you watch them against Oregon?" O'Brien asked, referencing the Ducks' 56-21 trouncing of the Bulls in the Sun Bowl. "Go look at that game. That was the spread that they were defending. I'm not saying anything about South Florida's defense, but if they're the gurus, we'd better go somewhere else."
Burnham, asked about the quote Tuesday, laughed for a moment and said he agreed with O'Brien's statement, though he questioned the need for it.
"Here's the way I feel about it: He's right. We're not gurus," Burnham said. "On the other hand, we try to handle things professionally and not say anything … with class, not say anything about anyone else's coaching staff. He can say what he wants to. The other thing, I forget what bowl game they were in. That's all I've got to say."
N.C. State lost its last two games last season to finish 5-7.
HAPPY FOR THEM: Coach Jim Leavitt has been following the success of the playoff-bound Rays and is excited for them.
"To me, it's not really any individuals, it's a team, chemistry," said Leavitt, who won a Big Eight batting title when he played at Missouri. "I don't see any reason why they can't win it all. They probably don't want to hear that, but if they keep the chemistry and keep battling … I love watching them. It's pretty neat."
Leavitt said he's seen the fan interest in the Rays each week when he broadcasts his weekly radio show Thursday nights from Moe's Southwest Grill on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard and hears wild applause during his comments.
"I'm watching as I do the show there. … All the screaming and yelling and cheering, it isn't about my radio show," he said. "It's because somebody hit a home run or made a big play."
BASEBALL: Six weeks of fall drills begin Sunday, and coach Lelo Prado already has found new starters at key positions.
Senior right-hander Andrew Salgueiro, who sat out last season after transferring from Louisville, will be the closer, Prado said. Salgueiro played for Prado at Louisville and recorded the final out when Louisville clinched a trip to the College World Series in 2006.
Prado said freshman Sam Mende of Clearwater will start at shortstop, and junior Peter Brotons, a junior college transfer, is likely the starter at second, with last year's starter, Jesuit's Jonathan Koscso, moving to third. Another Jesuit alumnus, Stephen Hunt, a designated hitter and first baseman as a freshman, will move to the outfield.
Freshman OF/P Alex Mendez of Orlando had Tommy John surgery on his elbow and will be sidelined for the season, Prado said.
THIS AND THAT: An incentive program that gives students who attend other USF sporting events a better chance at landing football tickets continues to spark attendance in soccer and volleyball. Volleyball's average home crowd has more than doubled to 780, and women's and men's soccer are up as well. … Former USF baseball player Nick Cardieri is following in his father Eddie's footsteps. Just two years from his playing days with the Bulls, he's the interim head coach at Freedom High. Two other former Bulls new to the coaching ranks are former football players Jeremy Burnett and Josh Balloon, now on the defensive coaching staff at Jefferson High.

|The Guitar Lord
|Created by:
|Zeus the Guitar Lord
|Music show
|Fab and Fancy
|Squidward Chat
|Bikini Bottom Public Access
The Guitar Lord was a show that was on the Bikini Bottom Public Access. It was held by Zeus. This show had lots and lots of fans like Squidward's House Party. Squidward hates it. Until now, The Guitar Lord has been canceled for unknown reasons. It was replaced by Squidward Chat. It was only shown in the episode, "Tentacle-Vision."
Cast and Crew
The intro lasts approximately twenty seconds, and starts with a loud, nearly deafening metal guitar solo, with a closeup shown of Zeus playing his guitar. It then cuts to a mountain of decomposing fish corpses, and pans up to reveal Zeus on top of them. He plays his guitar for a while, but he suddenly lights on fire and explodes, and the name of the show zooms in from the center of the screen in purple.
It replaced Fab and Fancy. He later came on a new show called Squidward's House Party. It is unknown if it replaced this show. It had a segment which would take viewers' phone calls. Squidward was the first one, and he asked how Zeus got the show. He then called Bikini Bottom Public Access and got his own show.

Like most of his team-mates Chris Read was anticipating a few days on the continent when he saw the draw for this season's Yorkshire Bank 40 competition.
"We saw we were playing the Netherlands and assumed we'd be off to Amsterdam for a few days," said the Notts Outlaws captain.
"But a week or so later we were told the match was being played in Truro. Most of the guys were a little surprised but are now looking forward to it very much."
Read was brought up over the border in Devon so has an idea of what this week might entail.
"I know what it's like playing cricket in Cornwall. Everyone is very passionate about the game in that part of the world so we're really looking forward to being a part of the Cornish Cricket Festival.
"There was always a traditional hard-fought rivalry between Devon and Cornwall but there is also a bonding partnership between the two counties because we're all part of the south west together.
"I'm honestly not sure if I ever played at Truro. I can't remember doing so but I'd be surprised if I haven't played there at some point in my youth.
"I'll probably get down to the ground the day before and realise 'oh yes, I've played here a number of times before' but off the top of my head I can't remember doing so but if I did it would have been a long time ago."
Given his heritage, the 34-year-old is looking to catch up with a few familiar faces this week.
"I would imagine my parents will pop down from Devon and I imagine and hope that it will be a very well-supported event and will attract people from all over the south west."
Nevertheless, Read is keen to emphasise that this will be a business trip for him and the rest of the Notts squad.
"Ultimately this is another cricket match for us to try and win and get two points from, that's how we'll be viewing it - but if the weather's kind to us it'll be a nice place to go and somewhere different from the usual grounds we play at.
"The Netherlands surprised a lot of people last year with the performances they put in - and the wins they managed to generate in their group - so we certainly won't be taking them lightly."
Notts came up against one of their former players recently, when they defeated Kent Spitfires at home and Read remembers how fondly Charlie Shreck used to talk about his hometown during his Trent Bridge days.
"Charlie is very proud of his Truro heritage and proud to be a Cornishman and obviously there was always a bit of banter in the dressing room between us over the years about the Devon and Cornwall rivalry. I'm sure he would have relished the opportunity of being part of this festival."
The Notts wicketkeeper has collected a couple of county championship titles in his career and played for England in Tests, One-Day and T20 Internationals but still has a yearning to lead his side out in a domestic final.
"I've been playing this game for a good number of years now and I've never been to Lord's for a white-ball final.
"It would be a lovely thing to experience - but even though we've made a decent start in the group that is still a long way off and for now we're focussing only on the next match.

Can you please explain what ViziLite treatment is? I used smokeless tobacco for five years, and my dentist wants me to do this treatment.
ViziLite system is designed to improve visualization and early detection of oral cancers. The system uses a dilute acetic acid oral rinse followed by a special heat-free light that is designed to enhance the features of early cancers.
In theory, this should allow your doctor or dentist to visualize precancerous areas in your mouth that are not visible by standard methods. Recent studies, however, have not demonstrated an appreciable increase in detection rates of precancerous lesions using the ViziLite system. So the decision whether or not to add this to your evaluation should be discussed with your doctor or dentist.
Using smokeless tobacco is a known risk factor for developing precancerous and cancerous lesions in the lining of your mouth, so you should quit the chew! In many ways, smokeless tobacco is just as dangerous — if not more dangerous — to your oral health as cigarette smoking. If you are currently using or have used smokeless tobacco in the past, you should have regular checkups with your doctor or dentist.

An adorable new video clip of a young fan of Broadway's biggest recent hit, the 2013 Tony Award-winning Best Musical KINKY BOOTS, is now available to view.
A six-year-old fan expresses her extreme enthusiasm for the empowering new musical in the clip.
KINKY BOOTS is a screen-to-stage adaptation of the 2005 British indie film featuring a score by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, who took home a 2013 Best Score Tony Award for her efforts on the musical collaboration with playwright, actor and activist Harvey Fierstein and director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell.
The official description of Kinky Boots is as follows: "Charlie Price (Tony nominee Stark Sands) has suddenly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola (Tony winner Billy Porter). A fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he's meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discovers that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world. Featuring direction and Tony-winning choreography by Jerry Mitchell and a spectacularly uplifting book by four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein, KINKY BOOTS is the must-see new musical that proves that sometimes, the best way to fit in is to stand out!"
KINKY BOOTS is now playing on Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. More information is available at the official site here.

Bill Ford: Mobility is Becoming a Human Rights Issue
What is fascinating is how this family scion is taking his family's company back to its roots. When Henry Ford first dabbled in automobiles, his earliest models ran on diesel derived from peanut oil. Soybean-based plastic parts could be found in Ford automobiles during the 1930s, and at one point, Ford Motor's founder even pounded a bumper made out of a soybean-based resin with a sledgehammer to prove its resilience. Like other automakers, Ford drifted away from plant-derived fuels and materials, but now the company is embracing everything from soy-based foam to fabrics made out of recycled plastic bottles. The result is a renewed company that is not just an automobile manufacturer: Ford Motor is a technology, lifestyle and mobility company, and on that last point, it has to be if it is to stay relevant in this era of emerging "smart cities." And that lifestyle, dependent on mobility includes sustainability at its core. So what happened? Bill Ford talked about his first days with the company during the late 1980s when environmentalist just was not discussed at Ford's headquarters in Dearborn. He realized that he did not want his company or industry to become like the tobacco companies, leaving him to have to apologize for what they did. He eventually become the first industrialist to speak at a Greenpeace conference in 2000, and noted that he was not sure who was freaked out more: him or the Greenpeace organizers. The result has been a company that has accomplished huge improvements on the environmental stewardship front. The company has slashed its consumption of energy and water, sharply cut back on waste, and as Bill Ford mentioned, now 85 percent of a Ford vehicle is recyclable. Its factories are safer, the cars and trucks they are churning out are far more efficient and its employees are thriving--Ford estimated that 95 percent of the company's moves towards sustainability came from Ford Motor's employees. But as Ford reminded the audience at Ford Field, if the purpose of a company is making people's lives better, than it has got to make their lives easier and offer more options to help them move as urbanization rapidly increases this century. The idea of two cars in every garage is not just sustainable in the long run, so Ford is working with such shared car providers as Zipcar and established a "BluePrint for Mobility" to alleviate gridlock through the use of smarter and autonomous technologies. Ideas like Ford's Traffic Jam Assist software that once seemed dreamy are now close to a reality. And it is important that these new technologies scale because a society plagued by gridlock will only fail. Hence mobility is not just about convenience, but in Ford's words, is becoming a human right. Automobile companies were set in their ways for decades, and their refusal to change with the times almost led to their death kneel a few years ago. But now Detroit is roaring back with Ford Motor leading the way. Like Nike, Microsoft and Marks and Spencer, Ford Motor is turning the idea of what it means to be a more sustainable business on its head. The results, quite simply, are exciting to watch. Published on Triple Pundit earlier this morning. You can follow Leon Kaye on Twitter. Photos courtesy Wikipedia and Leon Kaye. Full disclosure: Ford Motor Co. covered Leon Kaye's expenses to travel to Michigan.
- Ford Motor Chairman Bill Ford opened his company's meeting of journalists and bloggers last night with an inspirational talk about Ford's evolution in recent years from a stodgy rust belt giant to a 21st century technology company. In an interview with David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect, Henry Ford's great-grandson talked about his journey as he pushed Ford to embed sustainability within the company's entire operations.

Train of Thought: De La Soul's "Stakes Is High" 15 Years Later [July/August Outtakes]
De La Soul "Stakes Is High," Stakes Is High (1996)
[Editor's Note: Posdnuos and Dave of De La Soul spoke on the 15-year anniversary of their classic song "Stakes Is High" in XXL's July/August issue. Here are some outtakes that didn't make the magazine.]
"The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs/Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough/Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it/I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets/Gun control means using both hands in my land/Where it's all about the cautious livin'/Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments/Of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable/Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable"—Posdnuos
"I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses/I'm sick of talkin' about blunts/Sick of Versace glasses/Sick of slang/Sick of half-ass awards shows/Sick of name brand clothes/Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks/
Cocaine and crack/Which brings sickness to blacks/Sick of swoll' head rappers/With their sicker-than raps/Clappers and gats/Makin' the whole sick world collapse/The facts are gettin' sick/Even sicker perhaps/Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse"—Dave
XXL: What were some of the things going on at the time that made you wanna write "Stakes Is High?
Posdnuos: For me personally that's just kinda where I was where I would kind of reflect on what was going on in the world or life. 'Cause when you really listen to my verses, that's what I'm doin'. And then Dave really touched more with his iconic verse on what he's sick of in the industry. It was like we were lookin' at our own life as De La Soul. What do we mean to the world? Does what we've accomplished even matter anymore? There was a lot of great other artists comin' up. Big was doin' it, Wu-Tang was doin' it. We saw that on Buhloone Mindstate. So when we started recording [Stakes Is High], it was like, "Yo, what's our place in this? We still tryin' to make music? You know, the stakes is high for us."
The song came out 10 years before Nas's Hip-Hop Is Dead and it seems that you were saying that hip-hop was headed towards a state of emergency.
Dave: [It] definitely was a state of emergency for us. That's what it felt like. It just felt like something was going awry. It didn't seem like it was about skills or sayin' somethin' or in even regards to production it just didn't seem right. It wasn't about hip-hop anymore. It seemed like more in the direction of, "let's get this money, let's exhaust this train, exhaust this vehicle as much as we can". I'm all about learning from this thing, but at the same time it was almost like, "Are we actually exchanging cash for something that we love?"
There wasn't nearly as much ass shaking in 1996 as in the 2000s. What was your reaction when the video girl phenomenon got out of control?
Dave: I definitely was like, "Wow, this is exactly what I was thinking about." I mean, who doesn't like a fat ass? But I think when we begin to lose control, when we begin to lose some respectable moral fiber — And I hate to sound like I'm some sort of priest or anything — it's a little bit like, "Yo, this isn't what hip-hop is about." It's one of those things when you open the curtains and you want to take a snapshot of what's going on in hip-hop and you know staring at those open curtains is a brand new audience or a generation that really don't know. What are they gonna see? What are they gonna [think]: this is the definition of what hip-hop is?
How do you think gun control in America has changed in the last 15 years?
Pos: I mean, honestly I don't think it's changed that much. You can have more policy on it where you can see even people, unfortunately, like a Ja Rule and all these other people gettin' sentenced and punished for havin' a gun and all that, but the actual level of someone stoppin' you from gettin' it in the first place, that ain't there. It's all big business. It's the business running guns, bringing guns into the country, it's the business of a prison being able to have prisoners to be able to make money. They're not doing the true education, or re-educating children to feel like, "I can have a self-esteem high enough to not wanna hurt anyone, to not even involve myself in that with someone." They need to protect themselves in the first place and the people that try to protect themselves are the ones that get busted and go to jail in a system that is really not trying to change.
On the song you say the Native Tongues have been reinstated. What's the status of the crew now?
Pos: Man, we still got our nonsense in terms of doin' business, but honestly what I had meant by it was the feel. For the longest I didn't feel like Native Tongues were like a word that I wanted to associate myself with. I just felt like we as friends fell apart. But if it's gonna be business it's fine as business too. At that point, basically, what I'm tryin' to say within history when you look back at Buhlloone Mindstate when I said in "I Am I Be" I was disassociatin' myself with certain things within that particular record and things that I went through with certain members of the Native Tongues clique. It was just my way of just sayin', "You know what the feeling of native tongues for me is reinstated," 'cause I know I had even spoke to Tip during the Buhloone Mindstate phase goin' into Stakes Is High and there were things that even he felt we should do, but I just felt like I wasn't really there. At that time when I was writin' that, I felt like the things that we as Native Tongues group talked about were very prevalent and that energy needed to be reinstated. That's why you see Tip in the ["Stakes Is High"] video. But even to this day, the majority of us are really still cool. There's no problem with none of us as friends. Dres is always on the road with us. I talk to Tip all the time. Me and Sham [of the Jungle Brothers] is out here in Atlanta. We all really deal with each other. We all talk to each other, but I guess as individual groups we just kinda have this individual path that we reached.
Would you say stakes are still high in 2011?
Dave: Oh yea, they definitely are. I think every now and then there should be checks and balances and I think in 2011 we've rounded a period where stakes have been high for a couple of years. I enjoy all of it, but just as much as there is a Rick Ross there needs to be and Odd Future. Just as much as there was a Jay-Z there needed to be a Common. Just as much as there was a Big Daddy Kane and LL Cool J there needed to be a De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. And I think throughout the years the stakes will always get high, but it doesn't necessarily mean we need one of the elements over the other. There just has to be a balance.

I very much doubt it. My understanding is that the Japanese PW has different firmware to the US version, and that firmware almost certainly won't be able to access amazon.com.
I bought a Kindle Touch from the US when it was first released, because it wasn't available in the UK at the time. Although it worked fine in the UK (I was able to register it to my Amazon UK account, download all my books from the Archive, etc) the one thing it wouldn't do was access the Amazon UK bookstore. It only gained the ability to do so once the Touch was officially released in the UK and there was a firmware update which added access to the various national Amazon stores.
So no, I would not expect a Japanese PW to be able to access the US bookstore.

SOUTH HILLS – When St. Louis traded postseason hero David Freese to the Angels for center fielder Peter Bourjos they immediately improved at three defensive positions.
Bourjos is so good in center, that he pushed Mike Trout to left field in LA.
Matt Carpenter is expected to shift to his natural third base position and prospect Kolten Wong will likely occupy second base. Those are two more defensive upgrades.
This is a big deal for the Pirates and the Reds because they held a considerable defensive advantage over the Cardinals last season.
The Reds led baseball in defensive efficiency, the measure of how many batted balls are turned into outs. Thanks to their defensive plan (shifting, groundballs and an athletic outfield) the Pirates ranked 5th in defensive efficiency.
The Cardinals ranked 21st.
The Cardinals are going to improve on that number.
#STLCards Peter Bourjos can fly. #Angels will miss his speed in outfield with Mike Trout. Peter will be healthy and will really help Cards.
— Bernie Pleskoff (@BerniePleskoff) November 22, 2013
The Cardinals closed the defensive divide in the NL Central on Friday and that means they widened the gap in the division.
This trade will allow the Cardinals to improve defensively, and it could be a dramatic improvement if manager Mike Matheny buys into more defensive shifting in 2014. Matheny said in Oct. the Cardinals didn't shift as much because the staff wasn't comfortable with it.
Of course if Matheny is not open minded to shifting, and he just singed a three-year extension, the Cardinals will not close the gap with their division rivals.
Now trading Freese for Bourjos weakens a lineup to a degree, and Carlos Beltran is a free agent, but Oscar Taveras is the top hitting prospect in baseball and figures to shift into right field.
The Cardinals' lineup might take a slight hit but Adam Wainwright, Michael Wacha, Shelby Miller, Carlos Martinez and Trevor Rosenthal all got a little better Friday. That's scary for the NL Central.
So can the Pirates respond by addressing their biggest liabilities: right side of the power field power, specifically first base?
Remember when Michael Bourn received a qualifying offer last year from the Braves and languished on the free agent market until small-market Cleveland signed him on Feb. 12?
I wonder if free agent first baseman Kendrys Morales is this year's Bourn.
The qualifying offer hurts Morales because every contending team would have to give up their 2014 first-round draft pick to sign him, also by turning down a one-year $14 million deal his asking price is probably a bit optimistic.
At the moment there doesn't seem to be much of a market for Morales. I wonder if this could drive down the 30-year-old's asking price and if he might find himself still unsigned after the New Year.
Morales might not be what he was in 2009, but he put up respectable numbers in an awful hitting environment last season.
His career triple-slash line: .280/.333/.480
He's a rare switch hitter with power who doesn't require a platoon partner.
It's a long shot, but perhaps he could be on the Pirates' radar in January/February of 2014.
Maybe the Pirates weren't willing to go 2y/$18 on Marlon Byrd. But what about similar dollars for Morales if his number comes down? Unlikely but plausible perhaps.

2 Thumbs Up!
By Annie
from Oceanside, CA
We took it out of the box and our daughter jumped with excitment! We were impressed with the life like size and excellent graphic. Only flaw was that it came folded up in three sections adding creases to the stand up. We will have to mount it from the top to keep it from folding over.

I am just getting started in trying to branch out and start a cake business after having many requests from outside people for me to make them a cake. I only made for my family. I feel very blessed being asked and also have recently been asked to make a wedding cake. This would only be my fourth. I am looking for any guidance that anyone is willing to offer. I would love to have a contract and any tips you have learned along the way.
Thank you for your knowledge!
AMy biggest advice is to make a 2 part contract. I separate min as "policies & procedures" & "cake contract."
I require clients to sign a copy of the policies & procedures when they reserve the date. sometimes, the details of the cake are not yet finalized. The policies contract ensures try understand cancellation, stand rental, & hurricane policies.
Once the cake details are finalized, I complete the cake contract. It outlines the flavors, fillings, etc. I'm always amazed when people don't include a sketch. I think it's important. When I send it to the bride or approval, I remind them to review it carefully & to ask questions if anything is confusin or missing. I it's not on the contract, it won't be on the cake.
ASorry about the typos. I'm replying by phone.
Thank you.

What Are You Cooking This Weekend?by Michelle Buffardi in View All Posts, May 28th, 2010
We love asking you what you're cooking and we never tire of reading your responses. Many of you are grilling for Memorial Day weekend, and not just burgers and 'dogs — over on Facebook you're talking about hickory grilled spareribs, whole butterflied chicken injected with jalapeno butter, bacon-wrapped shrimp, sweet potatoes, grilled pizza, Coca-Cola baby back ribs, corn on the cob, peaches and pineapple (served with ice cream, we presume).
And to our fans who report broken grills or thunderstorms in the forecast, we're truly sorry! The weekend's not lost though, you can still grill inside like Bobby.
We also shared Food Network Mag's 50 bonus burger recipes on Facebook and you topped our ideas with dozens of your own — feta-stuffed burgers, seafood burgers, burgers topped with mango and jack cheese and turkey burgers with pesto. But major props go to Missi H. who made 5 of the 50 burgers so far. Let us know when you get to 50!
Twitter talk on Thursday was all about lemons, and it turns out you love lemon bars as much as we do. We shared our favorite tips, like rolling lemons on the counter before squeezing for more juice, and you offered a suggestion back: microwaving them for 5 seconds to soften them for even more juice.
Care to share more of your weekend food plans with us?

Time for a run through the morning headlines from around the division:
In this radio interview, Asante Samuel defends his claim he's the best cornerback in the league. You have to admire his confidence. Samuel might be nearing the end of his career, but he's going to have to play very well this season as rookie Desmond Trufant makes the transition to the NFL.
Daniel Cox points out that, at 6-foot-8, rookie Levine Toilolo currently is the tallest tight end on an NFL roster. The Falcons already have one power forward at the position in Tony Gonzalez. It can't hurt to have another big target.
Steve Smith came in at No. 84 on the NFL Network's list of the top 100 players. That's not a bad accomplishment for an aging wide receiver. But, knowing the way Smith thinks, I think he'll use the fact that 83 players are rated ahead of him as motivation.
Mike Triplett writes that several analysts are high on third-round picks Terron Armstead and John Jenkins. Armstead is going to get a chance to compete with Charles Brown and Jason Smith for the starting spot at left tackle. Jenkins is likely to get some immediate playing time at defensive tackle.
Kicker Nate Kaeding decided to retire due to a chronic groin injury. Kaeding had been signed to provide competition for Connor Barth in training camp. But Barth was the odds-on favorite to keep the job. With Kaeding out of the picture, the Bucs still may bring in another kicker to share the work in training camp.

Default routing setting
Default routing is one of multiple options on the "Email settings" page for managing mail routing and delivery. This feature enables you to set up a domain-wide routing policy that includes one or more settings. The settings apply only to inbound messages.
To set up routing settings, you specify recipient addresses, and then specify an action to perform on mail intended for those recipients. If you set up multiple routing settings, you can arrange the rules in order of priority (see Ordering your routing settings).
An important use for Default routing is for setting up split delivery to route unregistered G Suite users to your on-premise mail server. This is useful when transitioning users from your legacy mail server to G Suite. You can also use Default routing to designate an existing user account as a catch-all address to receive messages that are addressed to non-existent users in your domain.
After you configure an advanced Gmail setting, it may take up to one hour for that configuration to propagate to individual user accounts. You can track prior changes under Admin console audit log
For more information about configuring split delivery, catch-all addresses, and other routing options, see Managing mail routing and delivery: Guidelines and best practices.
Configuring a Default routing setting for a domain
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Click Apps, then click G Suite > Gmail.
- Click Default routing.
- Click Add setting.
- From the drop-down list, specify the envelope recipients to match. Select one of the following:
- Single recipient—Specify a single user by typing an email address; for example, email@example.com.
- Pattern match—Type a regular expression to specify a set of recipients in your domain.
- Group membership—Select from one or more groups in the list. (Note: Create your groups from the Groups tab).
- All recipients—Specify all recipients in your domain. By default, this only affects unrecognized addresses.
- In the If the envelope recipient matches the above, do the following section, specify what action to perform on a message when the conditions are met for the routing setting. You have two options in the drop-down list: Reject message or Modify message.
Reject message
This option rejects the message before it reaches the intended recipient. You can enter customized text for the rejection notice. Note: Any routing settings with this action specified are automatically placed at the top of the Default routing priority list (see Ordering your routing settings).
Modify message
This option enables you to modify messages by adding headers, changing the route, changing the envelope recipient, adding more recipients (additional, or secondary routes), and removing attachments.
See the following descriptions for more details about routing controls:Add X-Gm-Original-To header
By checking this box, a header tag is added in case the recipient is changed so that the downstream server can know the original envelope recipient; for example, X-Gm-Original-To: email@example.com.
Adding the X-Gm-Original-To header is useful if you're rerouting a copy of the message to another recipient. In this case, you're changing the recipient address, but the new recipient wants to know the address of the original envelope recipient. The new recipient can see the original envelope recipient by checking the X-Gm-Original-To header box in the message.
Messages that are routed through Gmail are automatically filtered for spam and phishing. Selecting Add X-Gm-Spam header and X-Gm-Phishy header adds the following headers to indicate the spam and phishing status of the message:
For spam
0 indicates that a message is not spam: X-Gm-Spam: 0
1 indicates that a message is spam: X-Gm-Spam: 1
For phishing
0 indicates that a message is not phishing: X-Gm-Phishy: 0
1 indicates that a message is phishing: X-Gm-Phishy: 1Note: Any message marked as phishy is automatically marked as spam.
Selecting the Add X-Gm-Spam header and X-Gm-Phishy header option enables an administrator at a downstream server to set up rules that handle spam and phishing differently from clean mail.
You can add one or more custom headers to messages that are affected by a Receiving routing setting, Sending routing setting, or other setting. For example, you can add a header that matches the description that you entered for the setting. This can be helpful for analyzing why a message was routed in a certain way, or why a filter was triggered.
You can enter a string to prepend to the subject of messages. For example, if you enter Confidential, message recipients might see the following subject: [Confidential] Monthly report.
Change route
The Change route option enables you to change the destination of the message. By default, the Gmail mail server is the primary delivery location. However, you can change the delivery location; for example, by routing mail to an on-premise mail server such as Microsoft Exchange.
Before you can change the delivery location, you must first add mail routes with the Hosts tab. The routes that you add on the Hosts tab are then visible in the route drop-down list.
Reroute spam
The Reroute spam option is visible when you check the Change route box. Reroute spam enables you to route all mail that matches the criteria of the setting, including mail that has been marked as spam. If you check the Change route box but do not check the Reroute spam box, then normal mail is rerouted but spam mail is not rerouted (spam messages are stored in the G Suite platform for 30 days).
- Whether you check the Reroute spam box or not, blatant spam is not rerouted since it's dropped instantly at delivery time.
- If mail is classified as spam but one of the G Suite email settings overrides that (for example, due to a sender whitelist), then the mail is not considered to be spam for this purpose and will be rerouted as normal mail.
To change the envelope recipient, click the option next to the Replace recipient field, and enter the user's email address; for example, email@example.com.
Changing the envelope recipient for a message on the primary delivery is equivalent to forwarding a message to a different recipient. You can also change the envelope recipient on the additional (secondary) delivery, which is equivalent to a "bcc".
Select this option to deliver incoming messages to recipients even if the spam filter identifies these messages as spam.
Select this option to remove any attachments from messages. Optionally, you can append text to notify recipients that attachments were removed.
Check the Add more recipients box to set up additional (or secondary) deliveries for dual delivery or multiple delivery.
Select Basic from the drop-down list to add individual email addresses, and then click Save. You can add multiple recipient addresses by clicking Add.
Select Advanced from the drop-down list to choose advanced options for your secondary delivery. Similar to the settings that you modified for the primary delivery, you can change the envelope recipient, add headers, prepend a custom subject, and remove attachments for the secondary deliveries.Note:
Any settings that you configure for the primary delivery also affect the secondary deliveries. For example, if you change the envelope recipient, prepend a custom subject, and add custom headers to the primary delivery, the same configuration is applied to the secondary deliveries.
For secondary deliveries, the Do not deliver spam to this recipient and Suppress bounces from this recipient boxes are checked by default. Suppress bounces from this recipient prevents bounces from going back to the original sender.
- In the Options section, choose whether or not to perform the action only on unrecognized addresses. You can also choose both recognized and unrecognized addresses.
Note: Suspended users are considered unrecognized users.
- Click Save > Save changes at the bottom of the "Email settings" page.
The Default routing tab enables you to configure multiple routing settings for your domain. Each routing setting specifies a recipient (or recipients) and an action to perform on any mail intended for the recipients.
The "Default routing" page displays a list of settings. To adjust a setting, click Edit. To delete the setting, highlight the check box in the left column, and click Delete. You can also adjust the order (or priority) of the settings on this page.
- To assign first (highest) priority to a routing setting, in the Order column, type 1 adjacent to the setting.
- Click anywhere on the Default routing page to save the change.
- Repeat these steps for assigning other priority numbers, such as 2 or 3.

I didn't even hear about this
I didn't even hear about this in St Jamestown, and I live at 280. Would have been nice because my bike is a POS that needs work and I have no tools or money. Plus I need a tip because my crank is causing something else to clank very loudly against my chain every 360 degree revolution.
I didn't hear about Critical Mass either until a week after it was done with, I saw nothing in person to indicate CM at the time it was occuring, and I'm in the heart of downtown daily. Plus their site was unaccessible the past several times I checked it, with nothing more than a front page with one JPEG.
Glad I found Bike Toronto though because I plan to be apart of future bike events downtown, despite lack of pre-event publicity via handbills, or in the local media as a whole, including the weekly spam rags like NOW and EYE.
Toronto is too silent when it comes to pre-planned community events. Maybe it's because some overshadow others, as there is always something happening in the city, often simultaneously. I blame the dead internet and consolidation of 90% of all active web-traffic into just 1-2 social networking hubs, which I want no part of.


text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Have you entered TheStreet's first-ever FDA Drug Approval Contest yet? Eleven new drugs are vying for FDA approval in October, which makes the month a perfect time to see which of the Biotech Stock Mailbag readers can best predict how many of these new drugs cross the FDA finish line and how many are left standing on the sidelines. Please visit TheStreet's FDA Drug Approval Contest web page and submit your entry quickly. The FDA may issue the first of October's drug approval decisions tonight, so don't dawdle. Good luck! Moving on to this week's Mailbag. Larry G. writes, "Hey Adam, what are your thoughts on Anna getting knocked out of the way over at Generex Biotechnology ( GNBT)?" Anna is Anna Gluskin, the now former chairman and CEO of Generex. On Wednesday night, Generex said the board relieved Gluskin of her executive duties although she will remain a director. "Generex has reached a stage in its maturation where new senior management leadership is now needed for the company to capitalize more effectively on the opportunities that we believe are available to the company. We believe that a tighter focus on the company's core business is needed and we have determined that this can only be achieved under a new President and CEO," said John Barratt, a Generex independent director who was named the company's new chairman, in a statement. Mark Fletcher, Generex's general counsel, was appointed interim CEO while a search for a permanent chief executive is conducted. My thoughts: Gluskin was a terrible CEO, so her departure is a positive. However, I've never believed Generex to be an investable company for many reasons beyond Gluskin's lack of leadership. Gluskin's exit minus any other fundamental changes or improvements at Generex doesn't change my view. I'm happy to see Generex's board do something smart for once. It's a step in the right direction; however, Gluskin remains tied to the company as a director. Why? Won't that hamper more positive change? Will Generex be able to attract a well-qualified CEO when the company's old, ousted CEO still sits on the board? And why did the board act now to remove Gluskin? Are there other facts that investors don't know about? Generex's statement regarding the changes in the company's executive team is rather vague. Let's see if any more detail or disclosure is provided that can shed light on the situation when Generex files its annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 10-K is usually released in mid-October.
