Speaking on behalf of Evanescence, Amy Lee exposed that the video for "Sweet Sacrifice" will not be as crazy as their other videos.
Evanescence recently completed the shooting of their new video "Sweet Sacrifice". Unlike the previous videos, vocalist Amy Lee said, it's a non-crazy one where wolves, tricks and stuffs will not be present.
Directed by Paul Brown who has worked with Audioslave, this video suits the band's favor. "It's mostly live performance," she said in a statement "It's more really just about the song, and that is unique for us." Going a bit metaphoric, the video took the set of a four-wall room which is inspired by Jennifer Lopez's movie "The Cell" (2000). "Like we're in the walls of our minds, sort of," she continued.
Claiming that the single is her favorite in the album "The Open Door", Amy said that this is indeed a heavy song compared to the previously released single "Lithium". "I think it's very strong and empowering and sort of saying goodbye to all the times in my life that I've been a victim."
Along with the other tracks from "The Open Door", "Sweet Sacrifice" is promoted through a jaunt across US that will run until April 5 in Glens Falls, New York. The US leg will be stretched to South America, South Africa, Europe before returning to the States again.

Recommendation Letters
This year, I'm going to be on the other side of the job hunting process. And from this perspective, I thought it would be useful to post a reminder to letter-writers and letter-readers about letters about women candidates.
This article is a couple of years old, but the message is still valid. (And as with most online articles exposing gender bias, it does not pay to delve into the comment section.) The upshot is that in an analysis of hundreds of letters of recommendation, "Female candidates were described in more communal (social or emotive) terms and male candidates in more agentic (active or assertive) terms." Moreover, "The more communal characteristics mentioned, the lower the evaluation of the candidate." In addition, "letter writers included more doubt raisers when recommending women, using phrases such as 'She might make an excellent leader' versus what they used for male candidates, 'He is already an established leader.'"
So, if you are writing letters for women, be aware of the language you use. And if you are reading letters for women candidates, look out for the language used to describe her and avoid letting it color your judgement. Rather, look at more objective criteria, such as publications and experience.
Happy hunting!

Recommendation letter is an important supportive document if a candidate is applying for the job.Who should be the recommender? A person who knows your professional skills and abilities, the areas of your strengths and weaknesses is the correct person to recommend you. See more letter of recommendation service

THE 7th annual Graham Baker Trophy in memorial of the late and popular Overton darts player was again a roaring success.
Held at The Stute in the village the event brings the local darts community together to remember Mr Baker and take part in friendly competition.
On the night it was Andy Saunders who took the trophy, presented to him by Graham's father David while Lee Heaver was the runner up.
Money was also raised for the British Heart Foundation and overall £240 was donated to the heart charity.
Steve Ralph of Overton Darts said: "We all had a fantastic evening at The Stute, Andy and Lee played well however the real winner on the night was the British Heart Foundation who we managed to raise £256 for.
"We all had a great night meeting up with some old friends we had not seen for a while as the Overton Dart League folded this year after many years due to a lack of teams."
A raffle was held and well supported by local businesses and groups including Clock and Thyme, Ikebana Floral Design, the Overton Gallery, Old House at Home, Overton Memorial Institute and Overton United Football Club.


text: Buckcherry enjoyed an amazing run of good luck during a late-'90s commercial rise that culminated in "Lit Up," a swaggering hit homage to cocaine. The L.A. band's raunchy, giddily excessive hard rock straddled the thin line separating '70s Aerosmithian debauchery from '80s Poisonian hedonistic cheese, but came at a time when either seemed refreshing compared to humorless grunge and joyless new-metal. Consequently, Buckcherry's resolutely juvenile actnothing but unironic sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, tattoos, and guitar soloscould be defended by critics as a canny throwback that somehow transcended the cartoony theatrics of its hair-metal predecessors/brethren. With Time Bomb, Buckcherry still makes the unfashionable seem fashionable, but that doesn't make it any less dumb. The title track pretty much says it all: "Nothing to lose, nothing for free / Can't stop now, I got bitches and money." The song is an anthemic speedball that's typical of the raunchy, retarded material that dominates Time Bomb's first half, but once Buckcherry arrives at "Underneath" midway through, it's clear just how savvy this stuff is. That track and "Slit My Wrists" are surprisingly nuanced, slowing the pace while injecting a bit of subtlety that's nothing if not commercially accessible. The calculated would-be hits that arrive late in the album are almost jarring by comparison to the balls-out rock that opens Time Bomb: "You" is a mortal lock to be the first pure power ballad (complete with guitar solo) to top the charts since Candlebox's execrable "Far Behind." But it's a radical improvement on the model, and drastically superior to the unlisted insurance ballad that closes the album just in case. But where Buckcherry goes out of its way to ensure its bawdy act's continued success, another overheated rock band seems to possess almost the opposite instincts. Toadies, which scored a left-field hit in 1995 with the abrasively rocking "Possum Kingdom," waited an astounding six years to release a follow-up. After hundreds of one-hit ponies have come and gone, who remembers the Toadies? The Texas group isn't exactly knocking at immortality's door with Hell Below / Stars Above, a collection of mostly samey, outsized rock songs distinguished primarily by Todd Lewis' adenoidal whine and the omnipresent layers of thick, crunchy, repetitive guitar riffing. Hell Below doesn't bother with many flourishes or accouterments, especially during its one-note first half. Instead, it careens along at a furious pace that will be exhausting but rewarding to duplicate live. On record, however, it feels arbitrary and monotonous, especially when compared to Buckcherry's similarly raucous but far more charismatic and cannily timed Time Bomb.

How difficult will it be to hit the 50 percent target?
Bloomberg New Energy Finance projects (paywall) that without new incentives or regulations, North America's power will be 46 percent carbon-free by 2025. So unless costs decline even more quickly than anticipated, that extra 4 percent might require some policy action – particularly in the United States, which generates about 75 percent of the continent's electricity. To date, renewable energy, including hydropower, supplies 13 percent and nuclear power 20 percent of America's electricity needs. But many nuclear power plants, no longer economically viable, have been decommissioned in recent years, with more major plant closures expected in California and Illinois. So in order for the continent to reach its target, renewables will have to replace some nuclear power in addition to carbon-fired plants at a faster-than-expected rate.
Given the steep declines in solar and wind prices, as well as rapid advancements in energy storage and geothermal technologies, that scenario is certainly plausible. The Energy Information Administration projects renewables to produce more electricity than coal before 2030, even with no further political action beyond the Clean Power Plan. But state and federal regulators can both speed up and smooth that transition through renewable-friendly policies.
In Mexico, renewable energy provides for 22 percent of electricity generation, and the country aims to boost that figure to 35 percent by 2024. Mexico has become a major hub for clean energy investors after the country abolished its state-owned electricity monopoly in 2013, and as a result its renewable capacity has grown astronomically over the past few years. Solar in Mexico grew by over 500 percent in 2016, and its wind and geothermal industries are developing quickly as well. But given its ambitious internal clean-energy target and its rapidly transforming electricity market, it's not likely that Mexico will change its behavior too much as a result of last week's announcement.
Canada, for its part, has already far exceeded its expected contribution to the continent-wide agreement. The country already generates 75 percent of its electricity from carbon-free resources – 59 percent from hydropower and 16 percent from nuclear plants. Nevertheless, Trudeau has encouraged the development of renewable power, particularly in the solar and wind sectors, so the industry's footprint in Canada should continue to grow.
What else is interesting about the agreement?
As a corollary to their carbon-reduction objective, the three leaders promised to continue exploring grid integration across national boundaries. That bodes well for renewable energy deployment across the continent.
When grids are connected over large geographic areas, renewable power becomes both cheaper and more reliable. That's because, even if there isn't enough sunshine or wind or water flow in one region at a given time, the odds that renewable electricity is being generated somewhere along the grid increase as the grid gets larger. And the reverse is also true: on a large grid, an area that's overproducing renewable power will be able to offload the excess into places that actually need it.
A few of these grid connections already exist between the U.S. and Canada, but they could go a lot further in bringing, for example, Quebecois wind to New England and Californian solar power to British Columbia. And now that Mexico has privatized portions of its electricity markets, there are more opportunities than ever before to create new cross-border power exchanges.
Building new transmission lines is complicated and challenging, even domestically. It's encouraging, then, that North America's political leaders are interested in making the process a little easier. In conjunction with each country's aggressive domestic carbon-reduction goals, their renewed emphasis on international collaboration can both speed up the transition to renewable power and serve as a model for energy diplomacy the world over.

Much has been discussed over exactly what is an optimal water heater temperature level setting. Many sources, consisting of ENERGY STAR, offer the energy conserving elements of temperature levels of 120 degrees or lower. And yes, there are cost savings to be had, however realistically for those whose current setting is closer to the standard factory preset temperature of 140 degrees.…

I just put together a new infographic on the best two maintenance tasks homeowners can do with their water heaters. The best part is that they only take about ten minutes or so to perform! By checking these two things at least once a year will help with getting the full life out of ones water heater, as well as making it as energy efficient as possible.

Episode: NY Outer Boroughs
Tony and Carlos, executive chef at Les Halles, venture out to Bushwick for an authentic Mexican experience. The tortillas are wonderful -- thick, slightly chewy and fragrant.
Tortillas, made right there in the adjacent factory, are available by the bag to take home.
Wash down your tacos with a Mexican Coke (sweetened with natural cane sugar) or one of the many different flavors of Jarritos sodas.
While tacos are the most popular menu item, fillings are also available in tostadas, tortas and taquitos.
No cubed chicken or orange cheese here... just shockingly simple, unpretentious and delicious street style Mexican food. - Anthony Bourdain, host of No Reservations
Try the chorizo taco at this Bushwick tortilla factory. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos!
Go to the tortilleria and order 3 tacos or a torta
Fucking amazing. Freshly sliced avocado on the quesadilla. Yummy
Eat anything chorizo. It's their best meat. This is and feels as authentic as it gets
Los Hermanos restores my faith in humanity.
Tres Hermanos produces and sells fresh tortillas, but the small factory also has a sit-down eatery that's garnered its fair share of praise, so be sure to stick around for a quick bite.
They serve cheap, tasty tacos and the like out of their tiny cantina, which opens up to a bigger eatery in the warehouse where they regularly roll out fresh tortillas. It's also BYOB and cash only.
Tostadaaaaaaaas. Omg. Chorizo or Carnitas is always good.
There is something special about eating very cheap, very good tacos in a garage. I get the chicken. Remember to write your order on the note cards.

m. ABT 1754
m. 27 SEP 1810
Facts and Events
37. James Fulton (John 2 , James 1 ), who was born 10 August 1755 and died the 14 February 1834, was married the 27 September 1810 to Elizabeth Mitchel, who was born 1 March 1766, died 11 Sept, 1850. (30) James Fulton is buried in the Bethel Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Augusta County, Virginia. There is no marker on his grave, but his burial is recorded in the church register which begins in 1817. Elizabeth is buried at the Old Providence Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. James Fulton was taxed under John Fulton's name as still living in the home of his father in 1790, shortly before his father's death. Elizabeth Mitchell was the daughter of Thomas Mitchel and Elizabeth McClahan Moor, widow of Samuel Moor who was accidently killed in 1752. Elizabeth McClahan Moor died the 1 August 1779 in her 49th year. The family Bible of Thomas Mitchel is now owned by M. T. McClure. This Bible provides information on Elizabeth's family. Thomas Mitchel was born 23 September 1732 and died the 30 December 1806.
Another Bible in the possession of Vance McClure of Greenville, Virginia gives birth, death, and marriage records of James Fulton and his wife Elizabeth Mitchell and Elizabeth's parents.
Since James was 55 and Elizabeth was 44 when they were married, there are no children noted. James Fulton sold land to John McClure a few years before his death and the balance of James and Elizabeth's estate was inherited by John McClure, the grandson of Elizabeth's sister in 1834. Elizabeth was living in the John McClure household in the 1850 census prior to her death in September 1850..
Eleanor Mitchel, a widow, and her son, John, settled in Augusta County, 1747. Their farm cornered John Tate and David Doak. John Mitchel died testate, 1771, leaving a wife Elizabeth and six children, Thomas; Robert, born 1734, surveyor 1774; John, died 1783 leaving his property to the children of Andrew Russell, Jr. and Elizabeth Turk, daughter of Thomas; James, born circa 1740, died 1806, was a Revolutionary Soldier who served in Captain Tate's Company with Major Hugh Fulton; Eleanor who married Mathew Willson, Sr. and Mary who married a Wright.
38. Andrew Steele Fulton (John2 , James 1) born circa 1756, was married in 1783 (31) to Elizabeth Hall, daughter of Edward and Eleanor Stuart (33) Hall and a sister to Sarah Hall Tate Fulton, who married Major Hugh Fulton. Andrew died between 1816 and 1819, but for some reason, his son did not file the administrator's bond until 1835. (34) Andrew was not an officer in the Revolution as some sources have reported. He was a private according to his Revolutionary War papers and did not become an officer until after the Revolutionary War while serving in the Augusta County militia.
The 1810 census indicates that there were two young females besides the mother living in this household. One was under 16 years of age and one was under 26 years of age. Three sons were listed in the 1810 census. The eldest son, John H., had already left home by 1810. The following children have been identified through the Grantor-Grantee indexes and the settlement of Andrew's estate:
84. iii. Sarah Fulton born circa 1796, married 4 May 1815 to Dr. Elijah L. Williams of Nelson County, Kentucky, by the Reverend John McCue. Marriage bond was dated 2 May 1815.
+ 85. iv. Andrew Stuart Fulton born 29 September 1800.
86. v. Elizabeth Fulton born circa 1800, unmarried.
87. vi. Dr. James Fulton born circa 1802 (48 years old in 1850 census), a physician who lived in Waynesboro. His wife Evaline, and his sisters Elizabeth Fulton and Sarah (Sally) Williams were living in his household in 1850.

FLOOD-hit Christchurch residents who have been embroiled in a row with the council have taken delivery of 250 donated sandbags.
Two lorries of sandbags were delivered to residents in Conifer Close to help them protect themselves from any future flooding.
The sandbags were funded by UKIP and delivery was arranged by prospective Parliamentary candidate Robin Grey, following a week in which Christchurch council's stance on sandbags made national news.
Green Watch members from Christchurch fire station then visited and built the sandbags into walls.
The 250 sandbags donated by UKIP are in addition to 300 bags purchased by residents themselves.
Last week, under-fire Christchurch councillors said they would refund residents for the sandbags they had bought and would provide them with further sandbags.
- UPDATE: Christchurch council forced into U-turn and pledge to refund flood-hit residents for sandbags
- VIDEO: 'Give us more flood defences' plead families flooded out of homes on Christmas Day
- VIDEO: "We're like the land that time forgot", say residents of flood-hit block of flats
- UPDATE: Christchurch residents forced to buy own sandbags to protect homes- £30 for pack of four
- Downing Street intervenes over people charged for sandbags - as UKIP have 'whip-round' for affected Christchurch residents
But residents, many of whom are elderly, were unable to collect these from the council depot at Furzehill.
Resident Paul Richards said: "We're feeling better now the sandbags are in place but nonetheless aggrieved at the trouble we've had.
"The people who have helped us are not the people you would expect to help. We're very grateful to them.
"We do feel we've got a first line of emergency defence now, it's only a first line and could well be breached, but it's better than nothing."
He said residents would be making a donation to Green Watch's charity of choice to thank them for their help.

Skill, danger, injury? Just part of being a Nuclear Cowboy
The Nuclear Cowboyz aren't poised to detonate, and don't give off radiation.
They're mostly nice kids from normal middle-class families, who just happen to be able to turn off the parts of their brains that are supposed to say, "Hey, don't do that. That's dangerous. You could get hurt."
Not everybody has that particular quirk, so being a Nuclear Cowboy is kind of a specialized field.
"When I started when I was 14, 15, I never thought about getting hurt, or crashing never crossed my mind at all," says freestyle motocross rider and Nuclear Cowboy Brody Wilson. "Now, when I'm 27, yeah, I think about it more."
So, that "avoid danger" part of your brain can grow as you get older, at least a little.
Still, Wilson is paid to thrill audiences with death-defying jumps. Plus, he really enjoys it. A broken wrist or two is just the cost of doing business.
"My worst (crash) was my wrists — I broke and dislocated both of them at different times," says Wilson, whose Nuclear Cowboyz will be at the Consol Energy Center this weekend. "I was in casts for four months, five months off the bike. That sucks. It takes so long to rehab it."
Freestyle motocross is a sport, and quite competitive at the top levels, which would include the X Games. Wilson rode in the 2010 X Games, and hopes to get invited back. The Nuclear Cowboyz is more of a show. It's kind of like the Ice Capades — but with fire.
There's a story about two rival post-apocalyptic biker gangs in a future Los Angeles, and a nefarious Cyborg Army. Plus, dancers, loud rock music and plenty of pyrotechnics.
Really, it's just an excuse for these riders to try their most difficult jumps and tricks, sometimes at the same time. Of course, those that require the most concentration tend to coincide with flaming fireballs and explosions going off all around you.
"All week at rehearsals, we go over the pyro — where they're going to be blowing up things and shooting flames," Wilson says. "After the first few, you get used to it. You hit the jump and see a fireball and it startles you, at first. Then, you kind of don't even notice it anymore."
This weekend at the Consol Energy Center, there will be plenty of teenage and preteen boys, thinking, "I can do that." Their parents, equally amazed, will fervently hope that another fantasy/hobby/obsession gets moving, and quickly. "Anything else, really."
A select few will say "Sure, go for it." And perhaps another Brody Wilson, somewhere, will get started jumping off a backyard ramp.
Wilson's parents were more than sympathetic.
"They got me my first bike," Wilson says. "I raced for five years, and my dad would take me to every race. My mom was (supportive), too — she just doesn't like to watch it as much. She gets nervous. My dad is always building ramps and jumps in the backyard. He has some construction equipment — a loader and bulldozer and dump truck.
"A new bike costs so much money, around $8,000, for a kid to try to get into it. Then you've got to find a ramp or build one. You've got to be pretty lucky. Then learn the tricks. To learn the flip, you have to have a foam pit. And they're still pretty rare."

3 Upcoming Webinars Home Performance Pros Should Attend
In case you haven't figured it out, there's a ton of great information on the web for aspiring home performance professionals and seasoned veterans alike. Whether you're a recent college grad looking to get into the energy auditing business, an HVAC contractor looking to expand into home performance, or an established expert looking to expand your reputation and take your business to the next level, resources abound.
And, while the big national conferences like ACI are amazing, you don't necessarily have to fly across the country to take advantage of the expertise that's out there. Webinars are a good way to connect with experts, gain valuable business insights and even get some BPI CEU's.
This week alone, there are three webinars that will be worth attending for home performance professionals of every stripe:
Wednesday, October 2: The latest in online reviews for local SEO (Energy Circle PRO)
In basic terms, local SEO refers to efforts to get your business found in search results for terms that have a geographic modifier (e.g. "energy audits Minneapolis"). For small and medium sized businesses like those in the home performance industry, the vast majority of which are inherently local businesses, local SEO can be a crucial component of a successful business.
One of the most important and most-talked-about components of an effective local SEO strategy is online reviews, and much misinformaton abounds about the best way to get online reviews for your business. How do you ask for them? How should you not ask for them? Why do they matter? We'll cover each of these questions and more in this free webinar for Energy Circle PRO customers. (We do reserve a few spots in each of our webinars for non EC Pro customers, too, so if you're interested in sitting in, let us know).
Thursday, October 3: Women in Home Performance (ACI)
Women have played a critical role in the development of the home performance industry since its beginnings several decades ago. In an industry somewhat dominated by males, female figures have nonetheless been instrumental to the success of the industry.
In this ACI webinar, which costs $49, you can expect great content that will be useful for women and men alike.
Sign up for ACI's Women in Home Performance webinar here.
Tuesday, October 8: Creating a Home Performance Business Plan (Efficiency First)
So you've got your BPI certifications, you've trained in the field, you have your blower door in hand and you're ready to embark on a new career in the home performance industry. But you're missing one critical piece of the puzzle... you don't know how to run a business.
This webinar from Efficiency First covers all of the basics of setting up a business plan for your new home performance business, with a particular emphasis on preparing for the winter months. The webinar is free for Build It Green Energy Upgrade Participating Contractors, free for Efficiency First members, and $50 for non-members.

text: Shortly after Subaru launched its newest vehicle named the "Crosstrek," Trek Bicycle filed suit for trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and unfair competition of its "Trek" and numerous "Trek-formative" trademarks. Trek and Subaru had been long-standing partners in a professional mountain bike team. As such, in addition to its assertions of trademark infringement and dilution, Trek also alleged that Subaru's "Crosstrek" name breached the existing sponsorship agreement. Trek moved for a preliminary injunction. Faced with the possibility of rebranding its new vehicle, Subaru turned to Finnegan. Finnegan put together a team that could handle expedited discovery (which was virtually case-comprehensive and involved extensive ESI document discovery and many fact and Rule 30(b)(6) depositions), working with experts to conduct likelihood of confusion and dilution surveys, calculate harm and damages, and study linguistic usage of the word "trek," as well as obtaining and managing documents produced from dozens of third-party subpoenas. Finnegan uncovered facts leading to a counterclaim for genericness, abandonment, and fraud, as well important facts undermining the alleged strength of the Trek brand. Prior to the preliminary injunction hearing date, the case was favourably settled with Subaru's ownership, use, and registration of its "Crosstrek" trademark unfettered and unchanged.

We just opened a new checking account at Capital One 360 (formerly ING Direct). We not only got a $50 bonus, but we earn interest on our balance. This experience got me to wondering just how many great checking account promotions are available.
With a little bit of research, we came up with what I believe are the 20 best checking account deals and promotions you'll find anywhere. We've divided the deals between those offering cash bonuses and those offering other rewards. If you know of others, please leave a comment below with the details.
Deal of the Day: Earn 1.20% APY on an FDIC-insured savings account at Synchrony Bank.
Cash or APY Bonuses
1. CIT Savings
With the CIT Savings account, you can earn one of the best interest rates available + a $100 bonus. The savings account currently pays 1.30% APY on balances up to $100,000. To qualify for the bonus, the account must be opened with Promotional Code "PREMIER" by September 8, 2017. There are additional requirements which you'll find at the CIT website.
2. Chase Total Checking® account – $200 Cash Bonus
You can earn a $200 bonus with a Chase Total Checking® account. To receive the $200 checking bonus: 1) Open a new Chase Total Checking account, which is subject to approval; 2) Deposit $25 or more at account opening; AND 3) Have your direct deposit made to this account within 60 days of account opening. Minimums to avoid monthly service charge are much lower with this account.
3. Chase Total Checking® + Chase SavingsSM – $350 Cash Bonus
If you are looking for both a checking and savings account, you can combine the above $200 cash bonus with a $100 deal on a Chase savings account. The terms of the $200 checking are the same as above. As for the savings account, you can earn a $150 bonus when you open a Chase SavingsSM account, deposit a total of $10,000 or more in new money within 10 business days, and maintain a $10,000 balance for 90 days.

5. FNBO Direct – 0.65%
With cash bonuses, you usually get a very low interest rate. That's why I included Everbank's bonus APY above. With FNBO Direct you get 0.65%. While it can change as interest rates change (they'll probably go up!), this is NOT a bonus rate. It's FNBO's current rate on its checking account. There are no monthly fees and no minimum balance requirements.

Just open a U.S. Bank Package Checking Account, enroll in the S.T.A.R.T. program, and set up your account to automatically transfer money to savings. When you save $1,000, you get a $50 rewards card. If you keep that $1,000 for a year, you'll get another $50 rewards card.
7. Bank of the West – Up to $300 Cash Back
Open an Easy Checking or Choice Interest Checking with Bank of the West and get up to $300 back. Bank of West offers three different checking accounts. The Premier Checking account offers a $300 bonus, but requires a $50,000 deposit, among other requirements. Signature and Easy checking accounts offer up to a $150 cash bonus. To receive a $100 bonus, you must have a direct deposit of at least $250 (two or more direct deposits that add up to $250 do not qualify) posted to the Checking account by 08/26/16. Direct deposit must be payroll, Social Security, pension or other government benefits.

Overview of Oro Valley
Oro Valley is a small suburban city located just outside of Tucson in Southern Arizona. The town has been recognized by a number of lists like "Top Towns for Families" and "Best Places to Live and Launch a Business." Add top-class outdoor activities, excellent schools, great weather and low crime rates, and you've got the perfect place for an apartment in sunny Arizona.
Living in Oro Valley
The town developed during the population boom in Southern Arizona in the years after World War II. With a population of 1,200 people, the town incorporated in 1974 in order to retain its local character.
One of the fastest growing municipalities in the 1990s, Oro Valley continues to grow commercially and residentially. The cost of living is well below the national average at 91.4, making it very affordable for anyone looking to rent in one of the town's many neighborhoods. Just over 41,000 people now call this small city home.
Oro Valley is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. The high desert climate means lots of sun, and the higher elevation makes temperatures a bit cooler.

If you have a family with kids and are looking to rent, you'll enjoy lots of parks, playgrounds, sports facilities, and biking and walking trails in many neighborhoods. The Aquatic Center has swimming pools, a giant water slide, and a splash pad for tons of fun. Family-friendly events like the Oro Valley Festival of the Arts will inspire your creativity, and lots of other activities like Musical Magic for Kids means there's always something cool going on.
Like much of the Southwest, there's lots of space, and that means having a car is the best way to get around. Nice weather means you can bike and walk, too, and there are some great walkable neighborhoods. The Sun Tran bus line from Oro Valley into Tucson provides another transportation option.
Apartments in Oro Valley-Study
There a number of colleges and universities a short drive away for students renting in the area and seeking higher education.

FCC Warns Against Delaying Analog Shutoff
LAS VEGAS -- Postponing the turnoff of analog TV broadcasts beyond the scheduled date, Feb. 17, could confuse consumers, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission warned Saturday.
President-elect Barack Obama's transition team asked Congress on Thursday to delay the shut-off, citing the Commerce Department's running out of money for coupons that subsidize the cost of converter boxes, which allow analog TVs to receive digital signals.
FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin said at the International Consumer Electronics Show that it is important to make sure that the converter box subsidy program gets back on track, but that it does not mean delaying the analog turnoff is necessary.
"I'm concerned about a delay in the sense that if you can solve that issue other ways, a delay has actually the potential to confuse consumers," said Martin, a Republican. "All of our messaging has been about Feb. 17 -- not just ours -- the industry's."
The Feb. 17 date has been widely advertised by local TV stations.
The date of the transition and the terms of the coupon program were set by Congress. The FCC, as the broadcast regulator, has an important role in administering the transition.Mass E-Mails by Envoys May Bring Punishment
American diplomats have been told that they may be punished for sending mass responses, after an e-mail storm nearly knocked out one of the State Department's main electronic communications systems.
A cable sent last week to all employees at the department's Washington headquarters and overseas missions warns of unspecified "disciplinary actions" for using the "reply to all" function on e-mail with large distribution lists.
The cable was prompted by a major interruption in departmental e-mail caused by numerous diplomats hitting "reply all" to an errant message inadvertently addressed and copied to several thousand recipients.
"Department staff hitting 'reply to all' on an e-mail with a large distribution list is causing an e-mail storm on the department's OpenNet e-mail system," says the unclassified cable that was sent Thursday by Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick F. Kennedy.
He said the result was "effectively a denial of service as e-mail queues, especially between posts, back up while processing the extra volume of e-mails."
Ohio, New England Set for Snow
CLEVELAND -- Authorities from the Ohio Valley to the Northeast warned motorists to stay off roads as a weekend snowstorm moved into the region. The National Weather Service forecast as much as 10 inches of snow in parts of Ohio and Massachusetts. The Weather Service posted winter warnings and advisories from northern Illinois to New England.

BUENOS AIRES (Dec. 6)
A delegation of the DAIA, representative organization of Argentine Jewry, has been received in audience by President Juan Peron and has presented the General with a booklet entitled "President Peron's Thoughts On The Jewish People." The booklet, which contains excerpts from the President's speeches friendly toward Jews, was published by the Jewish community.
Dr. Israel Novick, former president of the DAIA, speaking for the delegation, expressed the sentiments of the Argentine Jews in relation to President Peron's repeated statements which have set a policy in the country. Dr. Novick characterized the President's sentiments as humanitarian and leading to tolerance and understanding. President Peron, who received the booklet with expressions of thanks, expressed again his warm feelings for his Jewish fellow citizens.

1/4 {Ask Liz} Jumpstarting Your Wedding & A Few Words About Bridal Shower Etiquette
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. By clicking on the links and making a purchase, you're helping to support the site so we can keep bringing you badass ideas.
Got a question for Liz? Go to the Contact page and let us know what's up!
Dear Liz,
My brother is getting married in May and his bride-to-be has asked for my help with planning the wedding. We will have to travel about four hours to where it is taking place. There will more than likely be 50 (or less) guests in attendance, which is what they want. She doesn't feel terrible about leaving a lot of people out on her special day especially since she knows a lot of them wouldn't want to make the trip. I was just wondering is it acceptable to invite uninvited guests to a huge bridal shower in her honor??
Shower Struggle
Dear Struggle,
Yeah…no. You really can't invite people to the shower who haven't been invited to the wedding. Showers = gifts and money. So basically you're telling them that even though they weren't important enough to watch her get married, they can still travel X amount of hours to give her a blender. Plus, you'll be positioning your future sister-in-law – publicly – as "the woman that didn't invite them to her wedding". At some point, to someone, she will have to explain why, and probably have to do so over and over again. Trust me, someone will mention it or ask for details. Awkward. Awkward, awkward. If you are worried about a low turnout, invite the guys, too.
Dear Liz,
I just got engaged! Is there some type of simple check list, for starting to plan a wedding? Like…
1- Budget
2 – Guest list
3 – Dress??
I'm so overwhelmed by the whole process!
In the Deep End
Dear Deep,
Welcome to Wedding World! First of all, bonus points for putting your dress third. That sort of practical thinking will get you far around here. Start with your guest list – his list, your list, and your parents' lists. And, yeah, if your budget is a consideration, figure that out while you're getting your guests together. You should reserve half of your budget for your ceremony and reception site, and your catering. A little perspective – a comparable wedding dinner at Olive Garden for 100 guests would be around $5,000. Those are also the first three things you need to pay for. Once you got that done, I give you permission to start shopping for your dress. You should probably book a photographer first, but there's no reason to be a saint. Have fun!
Who did you invite to your bridal shower? How long did you resist shopping for your dress? Just engaged, and got questions? Let me know below! And, you can find out more about me and my slice of Wedding World at silvercharmevents.com.
See you at the end of the aisle,

On your CyBook go to Menu/Advanced.../About... The CyBook's Mobipocket PID will be displayed there.
You'll have to add this PID to Mobipocket reader, or perhaps to the ebook store preferences where you bought your ebooks, and then do whatever Mobipocket Reader does to add a PID to a file, or re-download them all from the ebook store.
And you'll need to do that all again with the next Mobipocket device you add.
Or you could strip the DRM from the Mobipocket files, and never have to worry about Mobipocket PIDs again.
But stripping the DRM might be illegal where you are. And telling you how to get it and use it might be illegal for some people, depending on where they live.
Sigh - DRM, only inconveniencing those who pay for ebooks.

Can I set this PID info up in Calibre as I am buggered if I can find out where (this can be done simply in Mobipocket reader but was hoping to use Calibre instead)
Many thanks for any help and I apologise if it ends up with me being stupied

92 F3d 1194 Stanwood v. J Burch
92 F.3d 1194
Orvin C. STANWOOD, Plaintiff-Appellant,
Robert J. BURCH; Linda Carol Laird Smith; Jerry C. Smith,
No. 95-35464.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted July 29, 1996.*
Decided Aug. 5, 1996.
NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.
Before: HUG, Chief Judge, SCHROEDER and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.
Orvin C. Stanwood appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to comply with a district court ordering Stanwood to file a joint status report or to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for failure to file a joint status report. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we vacate and remand.
Stanwood contends that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing his action for failure to comply with an order to show cause. This contention has merit. A review of the record reveals that Stanwood filed a motion for summary judgment, which was in effect a response to the district court's order to show cause. The district court subsequently dismissed the action, erroneously stating that Stanwood had failed to answer the order to show cause.
Accordingly, we find that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing Stanwood's action for failure to comply with a court order. Cf. West Coast Theater Corp. v. City of Portland, 897 F.2d 1519, 1523 (9th Cir.1990). We therefore vacate the district court's dismissal and remand for further proceedings.
VACATED and REMANDED.

|The Marvelous Moto-Cruise
| Part
2: The Hudson was spectacular: cobalt skies, golden marshes, lime-green hillsides.
By Capt. Bill Pike — February 2001
"How about
dinner at the River Street Café in Troy?" Mallory yelled.
Sally and I piled into the rumble seat, and B.J. hit the gas. The drive
south instantly validated the whole moto-cruise idea. Without the Plymouth
we'd have had to wait for a cab or settle for far less than a truly
great restaurant. Moreover, Sally and I would have missed rumble-seating
down the interstate, an experience roughly akin to riding in the cockpit
of a throttled-out Gold Cup mahogany racer. And B.J. would have missed
the boost she got from blasting past slow pokes. The cornmeal-crusted
red grouper at the Café was excellent.

Facts and Events
The Allied landings in Gallipoli commenced on 25th April 1915. The 5th (Service) Battalion were asembled by 1st July at Whitley Camp near Godalming in Surrey. On 2nd July the Battalion entrained for Liverpool and embarked on the "Aquitania", sailing at 1.30pm the following day for the Mediterranean. On 4th July the ship was attacked by a submarine when a torpedo passed 100 yards to its stern. The "Aquitania" arrived at Lemnos at 7.00am on 10th July and the Battalion embarked for Imbros, arriving there at 10.30am. Just before dawn on 7th August the Battalion started to land at Suvla Bay ("A" Beach), having sailed from Imbros at 5.00pm the previous evening. It is probable that Private Charles Welch was killed in action during the beach landing by enemy shrapnel which, because of its intensity, was halted but continued at "B" Beach the following day.
Charles John Welch was born in Maiden Newton. At the time of his enlisting at Dorchester he was living in Winterbourne Kingston.

"Nineteenth century Fabian Socialism has come to roost in America under Obamacare and it is likely that you will work until you drop in order for the right to be a healthcare slave."
Obamacare Will be the Reason That You Will Never Retire
Dave Hodges
August 6, 2013
The elephant in the room is healthcare. The American middle class is in extreme danger because of Obamacare. Obamacare will be the reason that many will never be able to retire or even to live to a ripe old age.
Will Obamacare Be Repealed?
obama careMillions hold out hope that Obamacare will just go away. Could that happen?
The big challenge to Obamacare was the constitutional issue of making participation mandatory and the Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of the mandate to force people to pay a penalty for non-payment. As an aside, since when does an entity have to force someone to participate in a program if it is that good?
The other source that promised hope that Obamacare could be stopped is in Congress The House of Representatives has voted over 30 times to get rid of Obamacare, but it is just a symbolic gesture because they know that it will never pass the Democrat-controlled Senate. And if by some miracle the repeal of Obamacare did pass the Senate, Obama would veto the bill and a two-thirds override would never happen. Obamacare is here to stay.
How Mandatory Is Obamacare?

|RE: [Ecrit] Emergency Context Routing ofInternetTechnologies-Architecture Considerations
|"Winterbottom, James"
|Thu, 8 Sep 2005 18:36:18 -0500
Hi Ted, My assumption would be that a large gateway box that services 20 or 100 PSAPs will require any attacker to mass several orders of magnitude more zombies to launch a successful attack, than they would require to attack a single PSAP. Maybe this is easy, I don't know, but it does up the anti somewhat. All this aside, I think that there are economies of scale, and functionality reasons why including a gateway such an ESRP are desirable, but these are more implementation details. Somewhere, something has to have sufficient knowledge to use location to route the signal to the next hop.

Bambu Villa Resort, Anilao, Batangas
Batangas is one of the most visited provinces in Luzon every summer, more so during long week-ends and holidays. This Holy Week, scuba diving is one leisure activity that's hot among a lot of resorts in Batangas.
One such place is Batangas that's always a hot spot among divers is Anilao. Actually, it's been a consistent location for a lot of divers whole year long.
Dozens of resorts specialize in scuba diving in Anilao, Batangas and one of the newer ones offer more than the usual over-night accommodations. The Bambu Villa Resort is about a couple of kilometers into the coastline from the Anilao port. It's just newly constructed so a couple of the amenities are not yet completed.
For one, their rooms are not yet retrofitted with the usual TV sets and cable. The management says they are in the process of furnishing each rooms with one very soon. The Bambu Villa is a 2-floor building made mostly of concrete, bamboo and other hard wood. This is mostly for thematic accents that plays with the name of the resort.
Another building beside it is the dining and entertainment hall. The resort offers accommodation with four buffet food servings a day for Php2,800 per head on a quad-sharing arrangement (Php3,000 for triple sharing). If customers prefer to order their own meals, the room rates are Php4,800 which is good for 2 persons (additional Php1,000 for extra persons).
The buffet rates are actually affordable considering you get four meals a day with that. The ala-carte meals are a bit more expensive.
The place also has a small swimming pool up front and over-looking the beach and gives it an infinity pool look. There's also a viewing deck down the hill where visitors can relax and watch the ocean as well as an entrance into the beach for snorkeling or scuba diving. They also have WiFi there but it's not strong enough to reach the guest rooms. They'll probably fix that and expand to the entire place anytime soon.

Shyne Releases Diss Track at Game: "68 Psalms"
Since the Game came to Kendrick Lamar's defense against Shyne's highly publicized "criticisms" of his debut album,good kid, m.A.A.d city, the two passive aggressive rappers are involved in a beef of their own. Previously, Game released the track "Cough Up a Lung" as a warning to Shyne, and the born again Black Jew wasted no time as he taped his response in "68 Psalm (Guns and Moses)." On the freestyle, Shyne addresses Game's "red flag as a costume" and throws jabs at his street cred. Check it out "68 Psalms" below.

Can somebody confirm that my website is rendering correctly in internet explorer? I only have a Mac and I've been trying to create a suitable display for both... Oilfield Salesman ~ Online Oilfield Supplies, Oilfield News, Oilfield Forum
They look very similar in both. A few padding/spacing differences (between IE9 and Chrome), but definitely nothing show stopping.
Have you ever used Adobe's Browser Lab (http://browserlab.adobe.com)? It works great for testing in multiple browsers. The only problem I've seen with it is it doesn't render shadows and some fancy stuff like that, but everything else is dead on.
Thanks! I'm checking out Adobe BrowserLab right now!:D

Last week we mentioned the Firefox Companion for eBay that had just been announced, and at the time it wasn't yet open for the alpha test program. Recently we were able to download the extension and give it a try. After playing around with it for the last 20 minutes, I wouldn't say it's something an occasional eBay user would use, but more for those who either sell, purchase, or watch items frequently.
After installing the Firefox extension, the first thing you'll want to do is set-up your account. You can choose whether or not you want Firefox Companion for eBay to automatically connect when Firefox starts or not. To get the most use out of this, you'll probably want to select yes to this option.
The companion shows up in the left toolbar, and then there's a drop-down menu at the top of that toolbar where you can select what you'd like to view: ended, active, bidding, watching, or selling items. I chose to view the items that have ended that I was either watching or selling. The screenshot below (click to enlarge) shows what this looks like.
You're given many options to choose from, and there are separate options for watching, bidding, and selling. You can either choose to receive an alert box, or the item will glow in your sidebar.
For example, if you're watching an item, you can get an alert when it's going to end soon so that you can determine if you want to bid on it. Other options include an alert or "glow" if you've been out-bid on an item, won an item, or lost. If you're selling, you can select the option so that items will glow when they're ending soon.
Up at the top of your browser, you'll notice that there are quick links so that you can easily navigate to important eBay pages likes "My eBay, eBay Homepage, Provide Feedback," etc.
eBay is no stranger to scams, particularly those involving passwords. To help with this, there's built in password protection (pictured below). All you have to do is enter in the password that you use for eBay and PayPal, and you'll get warned if you begin to enter your password into a site that hasn't been verified.
As of now, it's available for eBay.com, eBay.co/uk, ebay.fr, and eBay.de, and I'm sure they'll be adding other sites soon.
I think this could be a great way to promote eBay, but especially Firefox because some of the non-Firefox users may want to get in on what this has to offer.

First P and O not last (possibly): Ventura Cruise Review by britsbest
Overall Member Rating
First P and O not last (possibly)
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Barbados
Flew with Thomson fly Manchester to Barbados great flight free drinks loads of leg room seat back entertainment (extra charge for "premium" films)and arrived fresh (ish) at Barbados. No formalities whatsoever right down the plane steps onto waiting mini buses to the ship. Checkin at the port was super quick within an hour of landing we were on board. We were in a mini suite (Princess' name)for our stateroom. I can't help but compare to Princess because to all intents Ventura is just like a Princess ship.
Food was in someways better than Princess especially breakfasts, but evening meals were better on Princess better quality and more of it.....not that we went hungry.
We were on anytime dining waits were minimal often had a table for 2 with no problem.
Entertainment on a par with More Princess.
Ports of call were all good esp St Vincent where we took a powerboat ride along the island to a waterfall, to do some whale watching, see Pirate of the Caribbean location and a beach stop.
Disembarkation was a breeze, you need to be "Immigrated" at set times according to your flight.
Cases are left outside your room by midnight and the next time you see them is at your home airport. What could be easier???
Its a coin toss whether I would choose Ventura or Princess next time if the routes were similar! Less

We wrote about PicLens for the first time last July and described it as a browser add-on that offers full-screen photo browsing. In the year since we first wrote about it, they've added all kinds of features, and now they offer much more than just photo browsing. Recently they added some new features with their latest release, PicLens 1.7 , so we thought it was about time to review all that they offer.
First, we should mention that PicLens 1.7 is for users running Firefox on a Mac or Windows. It is also available for Internet Explorer users. With this latest release, they added three major new features which include:
The PicLens team wants to make it easier for you to discover what's going on with sports, entertainment, and current events. All you have to do is look for the "Discover" button and then a list will appear with your media channel options. Channels include US News, US Sports, International News and Sports, Entertainment, Movies/TV, Fashion/Lifestyle, Science/Technology, and more…
Shop Amazon
Shop Amazon in a whole new way! They're calling it "virtual window shopping" because you'll be browsing through products on Amazon visually. Using the PicLens search box, you'll enter in the item you're searching for, choose a category, and then you'll be able to view the products that match your search visually. If you want more information on a particular product, all it takes is one click and then you'll see the Amazon page that you'd typically see with all of the product information and reviews.
Return to PicLens
Getting back to PicLens was made just a bit easier with a new "Return to PicLens" button.
With Firefox 3 coming out this week, some of you are probably wondering whether or not PicLens works with it, and it does. I installed PicLens 1.7 using Firefox 3 RC3 to try out all of these features and they all seemed to work well. As someone who shops Amazon pretty regularly, the "Shop Amazon" feature was great. All I did was type the product I was looking for in the PicLens search box and it pulled up a list of results that I could click on. Once I clicked on them, they enlarged and then I could use my arrow keys to go through all of the matching product results. The transitions between the products looked great as well.
