7 out of my 10 acquaintances are in a relationship or are on the verge of getting into one. While I am just a spectator to their relationship and I want to be in one, I have realized one thing. Building and maintaining healthy relationships is no cake walk. It is a toil, which, doesn't seem to because we do it for the person we love and it is ultimately for our good. Then the question arises as to what does it take for building healthy relationships? The answers are in the text to follow.
How to Have a Healthy Relationship?
Well, science has definite and specific chemical reactions, and equations and other things (which throw you in a tizzy), however, there are no particular hard and fast rules or characteristics of a healthy relationship. Take a look...
Trust Me
Impeccable and unfathomable trust is one of the foundations of a satisfactory relationship. This doesn't mean blind faith, but believing in the person concerned, not doubting him, would help. If you do not trust your partner, the whole pyramid of the relationship will topple. So TRUST!
Out With It
If you do not speak out what is wrong, or what is great or if there is any issue or even the simple act of telling that person that you do care for him or her, no relationship can progress! Communication is the key to building healthy relationships. Now that doesn't mean that you keep on ranting about your problems and nag all the time. Communication should be positive and should be two-way otherwise there can crop up communication problems. You speak out, great. Although, just as you speak out, you have to listen too. You have to be a good listener for maintaining and developing good relationships. Only then, thoughts can be shared. Mind you this is one of the most important traits of a healthy relationship.
Honesty, the Best Policy
Honesty and transparency are of utmost importance to maintain and develop healthy relationships. Be open about things and secrets are a big no no. Of course there are some things you will keep to yourself. But other than that, being frank, (not in a rude and 'I don't care manner) where required, but politely is warranted. Honesty is the best policy! Remember this as one of those healthy relationship tips which cannot be compromised! If you are not honest, mind you, you are gone for good!
Virtue, thy name is Patience
Patience, my dear friends is pivotal to building healthy relationships. If you do not have patience, you can never have good relationships. It takes years to build a fantastic relationship and a single word or an act for it to crumble like pack of cards. Have patience, let the other person understand you and you get to know that person inside out. That is how you can be in a healthy relationship. Not giving time can lead you into unhealthy relationships (whoever told you that relationship is a bed of roses?).
Time Apart
Spending time with each and having that intimacy for building healthy relationship is imperative. But there are stages of a healthy relationship where you have to spend time away from the person you love. Personal space too has to be enjoyed by the people involved. Spending some time away from each other daily gives you time to think about your relationship and that is how you pave cornerstones for conducive and strong relationships.
Well, this was just a glimpse of what all things are required and how you build relationships. All these are signs of a good relationship. A few other things which will help build healthy relationships are, common interests, taking responsibilities and vouching for each other. Doing things without being told about them and having a certain understanding level can make a truckload of difference and take you a step closer to having a fulfilling relationship.
At the end of the day, if you are in a relationship, by now you have most probably realized all these things. If not, when you take the plunge, you will surely know that building healthy relationships is so much more than just these aspects!

Omar Ortiz Uribe (born 13 March 1976) is a former Mexican football goalkeeper. He made his debut in 1997 with Club de Fútbol Monterrey among others.
He later spent several successful seasons at Atletico Celaya and Jaguares de Chiapas. During his time at Celaya, he earned one cap for Mexico, which came against Guatemala during the 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Ortiz made his Atlante debut on February 25, 2009 during a CONCACAF Champions League semi-final against Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer. In May 2010, he was banned from football for two years for twice testing positive for the banned steroids oxymetholone and masteron.[1]
Ortiz is popularly known for his nickname El Gato (English: The Cat) for his "feline face" and green eyes.[2]
On January 6, 2012 rumors began to spread of him being kidnapped,[3] but it was later confirmed that the Mexican authorities had arrested him outside his home in Monterrey after two kidnapping suspects were detained and confessed his involvement in the kidnappings.[4] After a couple of days, Ortiz's family members decided to report on his disappearance, but the authorities first refused to comment on the incident.[5] Upon his arrest, Ortiz was charged for working with a gang responsible for at least 20 kidnappings, among them the abduction of Gloria Trevi's husband in 2011.[6] The 35-year-old Ortiz admitted to have picked out two rich people for the kidnapping ring, since his job was to select wealthy families from his same social circle.[7] The gang allegedly demanded around 1 million pesos ($59,500 US dollars [Nov. 2015]) for the release of each victim.[8] He later confessed that the kidnapping ring was working for the infamous criminal organization known as the Gulf Cartel.[9][10]
Reports from the government of Nuevo León mentioned that Ortiz had an addiction to cocaine.[11] In fact, La Jornada newspaper mentions that Ortiz became part of the kidnapping ring due to his drug addiction.[12] Ortiz also confessed to have experienced "financial problems" after he was banned for playing professional football for two years after consuming illegal substances.[13] George W. Grayson, a drug war analyst and expert of Mexican politics, said that Ortiz's arrest shows the "possible ubiquity of organized crime [in Mexico]."[14]
He was sent to a prison in Cadereyta, Nuevo León.[15] If convicted, Ortiz and his collaborators may face up to 50 years in prison.[16]

This year Hotel Chocolat has a fantastic range of Christmas chocolates.
I am a huge fan of Hotel Chocolat, they have great quality non-fresh (ie ambient storage without fresh cream) chocolate down to a fine art, their range is imaginative and interesting, they know about chocolate, have great ethics and have managed a successful expansion programme without compromising any of their values, which, in my book makes them pretty amazing.
The Christmas range is lovely – packaged in white, silver and pale metallic blues and greys, decorated with winter trees, snow flakes and reindeer. Rather charmingly every item features a red-nosed Rudolph somewhere on the box of packet.
As always I love the children's range, full of reindeer, penguins and gingerbread men – perfect for presents and stocking fillers. Advent calendars come in white, milk or dark chocolate. Chocolate wreaths are adorned with cookies and Florentines. Truffles are packed into tasteful icicle tree decorations. A giant cracker makes a fun centerpiece for your Christmas table.
Chocolate prices start from just £2.50 – to £300 for the Ultimate Christmas Hamper, a box of 30 chocolates is around £22.
Some of the seasonal additions to their core filled chocolates range are:
Christmas Cake – An imaginative twist on a classic praline – milk chocolate containing a walnut raisin and cranberry praline, spiced with cinnamon, orange and nutmeg. We liked that the praline had some texture, and the spices are very Christmassy, but they could be too strong for some (we are not nutmeg fans). End note is of walnut.
Tawny Port Truffle – Creamy smooth milk chocolate truffle and shell with a generous helping of port, you can taste the alcohol but it is not overly boozy.
Clementine Truffle – Rich dark chocolate truffle and shell, with clementine flavour. You firstly taste the rich chocolate, then the clementine and are left with an end note of chocolate. Little pieces of orange add texture and more flavour. Delightfully bitter.
Mulled Wine Chocolate – A milk chocolate with and excellent mulled wine taste, which ends on a long chocolate note. One to be enjoyed in front of an open fire.
Christmas Mess – Eton mess with a Christmas edge. White chocolate filled with a smooth and fruity berry mousse; freeze dried raspberries and meringue pieces make the finished chocolate light and refreshing.
Gingerbread – Nicely spiced, with good balance. Very smooth centre.
Also new to Hotel Chocolat is their range, indulgent scrubs, lotions, potions and candles – fantastic products. Looking forward to seeing them in store soon.
Many thanks to Hotel Chocolat for the invitation to their press preview and for the delicious goodie bag!

Hello all that really care if we girls submit these or not. Thanks for your nice comments. For you I am submitting these additional pictures. The rest of you shouldn't bother to look at them. This will be my last submission as well. When people are as rude as some of the viewers of this website, it just doesn't make it worth a girl's trouble.

I think bending and vibrato are the most telling sign if a musician is good or great. How many times have you heard a guitar player in a cover band play a solo note for note, but it lacked emotion and feel? Chances are that player learned all the licks but never played it along with the CD.
One of the best ways to develop your vibrato is to listen to singers and horn players. They have a natural vibrato because they have to breath, while guitar players can noodle forever. Try singing the solo aloud or in your head while playing it and it will become a lot more natural. I think you really need to listen to what is coming out of the speaker and detach yourself from it.
If you think about guitar players with great vibrato, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen and Carlos Santana, they each have an individual style and their vibrato is very recognizable. I'm sure all of those guys spent a lot of time developing it. I know players that have a lot of technique, know their theory and so on but have never spent time developing their vibrato, and you can tell right away.
To start working on vibrato try developing a swing ala B.B. King with all four fingers and see how long you can make a note sustain by gently rolling your hand from side to side. After that becomes smooth, start bending strings. First play a note that you want to bend to then move down one fret and bend to that note (a tuner with a built in mic can really help). When you are comfortable with a one fret bend do a two fret bend and a three or even a four. Make sure to nail the pitch.
Take a solo that you already know and listen to every bend. Play along with it and match it. You cannot look at a squiggly line on paper and have any idea what it should sound like. Vibrato is one thing that defies notation and has to come from inside you. I hope this helps, now go make some noise!

NSP boards are great for learners and those who are not looking for a high performance board. I learnt to surf on a 7'7" NSP board, found it fairly easy and very durable (didn't smash the deck in when I was still drop my knees). I moved on to other boards but came back to NSP when I was looking for a 10'2' board, mainly because it was very cheap and their were limited choices at that time. It was fun to ride nad very forgiving but definate shaped more beginners, not up to tight turns. However I… Read Full Review

text: TOKYO, April 7 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average rose to a near two-week high on Tuesday, helped by expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may wait longer before raising interest rates. The Nikkei 225 ended 1.3 percent higher at 19,640.54 points, the highest close since March 25. Energy shares contributed to the gains after a surge in crude oil prices on Monday. The broader Topix gained 1.1 percent to 1,578.55 and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 advanced 1.2 percent to 14,353.31. (Reporting by Ayai Tomisawa; Editing by Kim Coghill)

A large-scale Web-based information-management task requires coordinated execution of a large number of information retrieval, analysis, and visualization steps. Web service technologies let users locate and access various information-management services, but it is currently impractical for users to properly manage and execute many of the steps supported by Web Services or to quickly adapt and reuse them for similar tasks on different systems. The authors propose a high-level, end-user mechanism for quickly exploring and testing various services.

Six players with Bay Area ties, including Santa Clara junior Julie Johnston, have been invited to training camp by new U.S. women's national soccer coach Tom Sermanni.
Cal graduate Alex Morgan is returning to lead the Olympic champions with former Stanford players Nicole Barnhart, Rachel Buehler and Kelley O'Hara. Former Stanford star Christen Press is getting a chance to make her senior national team debut.
Sermanni, who has replaced Pia Sunhage in October, called in 29 players in preparation for exhibitions next month against Scotland. Also invited to camp is Stanford commit Jane Campbell, at 17 the youngest goalkeeper called up since 18-year-old Hope Solo in 1999.
San Jose selected Stanford senior target forward Adam Jahn on Tuesday in the first round of the MLS Supplemental Draft. Jahn expects to join the Quakes in their preseason camp Wednesday.
The Quakes, who did not have a pick in the second round, selected midfielder/forward Colin Mitchell of San Francisco (Oregon State) and defender Peter McGlynn (UC Santa Barbara) in the third and fourth rounds.
The SaberCats have been assigned wide receiver Corbin Louks, a former San Ramon Valley High quarterback, on a one-year contract.
Louks most recently spent time on the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad. He played two seasons at the University of Nevada.
Brian Cook and Steven Irvin had 14 kills apiece to lead Stanford to a 27-25, 19-25, 25-14, 25-12 victory over UCLA in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation men's volleyball at Maples Pavilion.
Stanford (5-2, 2-2) rebounded from two losses over the weekend — to USC and Pepperdine — to defeat the No. 4 Bruins (6-4, 2-2), who share the same ranking with the Cardinal in the AVCA Coaches' poll.
Staff writer Matt Schwab and wire services contributed to this report.

CLEVELAND -- Jawad Williams made a critical 3-pointer with 1:27 left and No. 9 North Carolina survived a scare Saturday with an 82-76 victory over gutsy Cleveland State.
Williams, who went to high school in Cleveland, drilled his 3 from the right wing as the Tar Heels (3-0) overcame a four-point deficit by scoring the game's final 10 points.
Omari Westley scored 20 points and Percell Coles had 15 -- all on 3-pointers -- for the Vikings (2-1), who won just eight games last season but more then held their own against one of the nation's elite programs.
Williams scored 24 points, Sean May 19 points and Rashad McCants 18 for North Carolina, which trailed 76-72 when Coles buried his fourth 3-pointer of the second half with three minutes left.
No. 3 Michigan St. 77, Penn 52

No. 15 Wisconsin 55, Rutgers 43
MADISON, Wis. -- Devin Harris scored 18 points and No. 15 Wisconsin atoned for poor 3-point shooting with an excellent performance at the foul line.
The Badgers (4-0) won their 15th straight home game despite making just 3-of-20 shots from beyond the arc. They made 18 of 22 free throws. Harris epitomized the Badgers' night by missing all five of his 3-pointers but going 8-of-9 from the line.

Jessica Shepherd, determined Marine, career counselor; at 31
Former Marine sergeant Jessica Colleen Shepherd possessed a strength that went beyond her military training, her family said.
The Lexington native with a wide smile and a soft laugh was extraordinarily resilient, her family said, no matter if she was overseeing machine guns on Marine airplanes in Iraq during her two tours of duty there, or earning her master's degree while pregnant and working full time as a career counselor while her husband was deployed in Afghanistan.
"The junior Marines immediately took to her because they knew that she would never lead them astray,'' said her husband, Marine Staff Sergeant Brandon Shepherd, of Jacksonville, N.C. "She couldn't be stopped, whatever she wanted to do.''
Mrs. Shepherd, who helped evacuate residents in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and US citizens in Beirut during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah conflict, died of complications of esophageal cancer on Saturday at the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center. She was 31.
The cancer diagnosis, which came a few days after Thanksgiving last year, was a shock to her family and her doctors. Esophageal cancer is most common in men, in people over 60, and in smokers.
Mrs. Shepherd, who did not smoke, had given birth to a son, Keegan, four months before her diagnosis. She then experienced back pain, throat soreness, trouble swallowing, and acid reflux, her family said. Doctors initially dismissed the ailments as postpregnancy symptoms.
After she was diagnosed with cancer, Mrs. Shepherd soon replaced any self-pity with stubborn determination to fight the disease, her family said.
"She just said, 'OK, let's do it. Let's saddle up and fight this,' '' her husband said.
Described as a natural leader, she always strived to push herself to be the best she could be, her family said. While a student at Lexington High School, she helped organize the school's first girls' hockey team because she wanted to play, said her father, Edward Buckley of Londonderry, N.H. She graduated from the school in 1998.
Mrs. Shepherd attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh before transferring to Northeastern University to study international relations, her family said. She graduated in 2002 and earned a master's degree in international relations from Webster University in 2010, they said.
She enlisted with the Marines in 2003 and was assigned to a squadron based in North Carolina until 2008. She deployed with the unit to Iraq twice, serving as a crew chief aboard a heavy-lift Marine airplane, as well as to Lebanon, the Gulf Coast, Pakistan, Kuwait, and various countries in Europe.
In the Marines, she met her husband, a door gunner who served in the same squadron. They both worked in the back of the airplane, spending 12-hour days together, he said.
They married in December 2007.
Though Mrs. Shepherd enjoyed her time in the Marines, her family said, her true passion was education. In college, she spent time in a small western city in China teaching English to children and adults.
After her enlistment was up, she became a career counselor in Jacksonville, N.C., first with members of the military at the Marine Corps Air Station New River base and later with military veterans at the Coastal Carolina Community College.
She was an avid reader, collecting bookshelf upon bookshelf of literature on foreign countries, her family said.
She also took to hunting and fishing after her husband introduced her to the sports. Always one to try her hardest, she caught a 26-inch red drum on her first fishing trip on the Atlantic coast. It was, true to form, larger than the fish her husband caught, he said.
She considered herself a Bostonian despite her North Carolina home, cheering on the Bruins and the
Thanks to a donation from a Cape Cod woman, Mrs. Shepherd returned to Boston for medical care in December, her family said.
No matter how sick she became, she always put others first, they said.
"She was extremely loving and caring,'' her father said. "She was just an outstanding girl.''
A service will be held at St. Brigid Parish in Lexington tomorrow at 11 a.m. Visiting hours will be at Douglass Funeral Home in Lexington today from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.
In addition to her father, husband, and son, Mrs. Shepherd leaves her mother, Diana Buckley of Londonderry, and sister, Danielle Santos, of Jamaica Plain.

On last night's episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the reunited Beach Boys dominated the show, performing not just new single "That's Why God Made The Radio" but also two classics, 1966's "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and 1963's "In My Room." Watch all three performances below.
Note that Fallon referred to "That's Why God Made The Radio" as the title track from the Beach Boys' upcoming album, the title of which had not been previously announced. Fallon also debuted the colorful cover art for the album, which drops June 5 on Capitol.Vodpod videos no longer available. Vodpod videos no longer available.
Lead Beach Boys Brian Wilson and Mike Love also sat down for an interview with Fallon, in which they taught the Late Night host the harmonization for "Barbara Ann." Love remained very complimentary of Wilson's legendary harmonization skills, while Fallon seemed in awe of both musicians.
Discussing the title of their new single and album, Love showed his love for the radio format, even revealing, "I'm always listening to see if they'll play a Beach Boys song." Wilson, meanwhile, shared his story about meeting Elvis, in which he inexplicably karate-chopped the music legend. Watch the interview in two parts below.Vodpod videos no longer available.

Largest-ever gift to Woodring funds scholarships
Woodring College of Education recently received a $1 million scholarship endowment from the estate of Mildred Bain, a retired teacher.
The endowment, which could fund up to 30 new scholarships per academic year, was the largest single gift to Woodring to date, said Mike Henniger, associate dean.
Bain, who passed away in 2007, graduated from Western in 1942 and worked as an elementary and middle school teacher for more than 40 years, retiring from the Seattle Public School District.
The Mildred M. Bain Scholarship will be awarded to students preparing to be teachers, based on need and academic performance.

We all think Andrew McCutchen is incredibly talented– that goes without saying. But MTV just announced that Andrew will be adding 'Executive Producer' to his list of talents.
He will partner with Boston Red Sox MVP David Ortiz on a weekly 30-episode series that will mix pop culture and baseball. The series, that is still unnamed, will likely air on MTV2, the sister station to MTV that tends to have a bigger male audience.
It will be shot at the MLB Fan Cave, an abandoned Tower Reocrds store in Manhattan that has fan features, interactive elements, and occasional pop music concerts.
I wonder how our Andrew will fair in Yankees territory? I don't think it will be a problem. 😉

LSI Logic cuts workforce, posts loss
Post a comment
LSI Logic Corp. (Milpitas, Calif.) cut 510 positions, approximately 11 percent of its workforce, as the semiconductor supplier announced a comprehensive restructuring program after an unprofitable third quarter.
The company reported a third-quarter loss of $282 million, or 73 cents per share, on sales of $380 million, compared to a net loss of $32 million, or 8 cents per share, on sales of $450 million in the year-ago third quarter. In the previous quarter, LSI earned $7 million, or 2 cents per share, on sales of $448 million.
Charges in both the third and fourth quarter relate to LSI's factory in Gresham, Ore. In total, the company will take $383 million in non-cash asset impairment charges related to the factory.
"The wave of third-quarter pre-announcements throughout the global semiconductor industry reflected customer end-demand reassessments and the ongoing industrywide effort to work down excess supply chain inventory by the end of the year," said Wilfred Corrigan, LSI Logic's chairman and chief executive, in a statement. "We have taken proactive steps to realign our R&D and SG&A expenses to our current revenue expectations, including a difficult but necessary 11 percent reduction in force."
Corrigan added that revenue from consumer applications grew slower than expected, while excess inventories affected the company's Storage Components business.
For the fourth quarter, LSI is projecting revenue of $360 million to $390 million, with a net loss per share of 54 to 57 cents including special charges.

I have tried and tested numerous speakers for my PC and mp3 player and when it comes to a portable speaker very little can come close to the Hama 'Soundbag'. The first thing you notice about this portable speaker is that you dont notice anything, if that makes sense?! The 'Soundbag' is a portable speaker which connects through your mp3 players' headphone socket, and any suitably sized mp3 player will fit neatly inside the case.
The sturdy mp3 case looks very ordinary at first glance, but when you take a closer look and unzip the case you will notice the speaker attached to the inside of the case. On the other side of the inner case you will find a couple of elasticated straps that hold your mp3 player in place, and you will then soon be activating the speaker and listening on the go! The built-in speaker is ideal for enjoying a day on the beach with friends, and the sound emitted is adequate for such circumstances. I were impressed with the sound quality and although it couldn't be likened to the crispest of experiences, it did enough to convince me it was upto the job of keeping me entertained. The loudspeaker can be used with the case both open and closed, and the case is robust enough to safely store your mp3 player.
With a selling price of around the £25 mark the 'Soundbag' is reasonably priced. I am a huge fan of all things Hama (generally!) and the Universal Soundbag MINI is the case of choice when I am out and about. The case does a great job of being...well....a case, and with little additional weight than a standard case the 'Soundbag' is worth consideration.

Sunderland are beginning to look as doomed as Villa after back-to-back hammerings at the hands of Chelsea and Man City and things don't get a whole lot easier for Big Sam's strugglers. Of course there aren't many times where it is advisable to back Liverpool on the road, so should we be backing or laying them here?
The Black Cats have won just five of their last 23 home games while losing 11 times and that includes just one win in 11 matches against top-half teams albeit with five draws. They have scored in five of their last six matches though.
Click here for all the best Sunderland v Liverpool odds
Liverpool have lost as many away matches as they've won since the start of last season and have won just three of their last 14 road trips. However, their record improves significantly when at bottom-six teams as they've won eight of their last 13 trips, though they've kept just one clean sheet in that time. They also have an excellent record against Sunderland with four wins in their last five meetings. However, they've been comfortably beaten at Watford and Newcastle in their last two away matches and are surely too inconsistent to be backing at 1.75.
Both teams have scored in 10 of Liverpool's last 13 trips to bottom-six teams and in five of Sunderland's last eight at home against top-half sides. Big Sam has picked a fairly attacking side in the past couple of games and with a defence that has conceded more than any other side this season there's a good chance both teams will find the net.

Something that nobody should ever hear about
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, American sitcom based out of Philly cited for its black comedy, season 3 episode 12 - The Gang gets Whacked. It involves the gang taking speakers when they fall from a truck, bringing them to the bar and realizing there is 25G worth of cocaine in them. Well it turns out they belong to mob who is going to whack them unless they give back the drugs or money, of course theyve already done something stupid with the drugs.
Either way, upon arriving at the country club, Charlie splits after hearing about the race horses. He goes and meets a small, strange jockey named Buster who offers him the newly available job of being a stable boy. Charlie accepts.
Buster takes Charlie to meet the guys, and they do that, and after he's done briefing Charlie one on one, he says
"And let Buster do a line off your boner."
When I heard that, I felt like Cartman in that one South Park episode where he sees the people with asses for faces, and its so funny that he never laughs again, ya know? Something so extra double ridiculous that…um…that I just overloaded.
And there is something that nobody needed to know
PS. Its probably the funniest show available to human eyes, honestly its so crazy funny that each episode is just a guaranteed cheese fest, I usually cant stop laughing. AND its the only show ive ever watched where I cant decide who the funniest character is. Its usually pretty easy to see who the funniest people are, or who you enjoy watching most, but damn I just dont know with Its Always Sunny

Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey says he thinks the Senate can deal with immigration as well as climate change and energy legislation this year.
The Senate's Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, says he thinks time would be better spent on other issues, such as border security and unemployment.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has moved the immigration issue ahead of climate change. That has led GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham to threaten to drop out of a bipartisan effort on climate change and energy issues. The South Carolina Republican says the change was made for political reasons as Democrats court Hispanic voters.
Menendez spoke Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" while McConnell appeared on "Fox News Sunday."

Are you sick of going out to the Grove or South Beach? Why can't the party atmosphere in Miami feel like a real city? Sure we have the Wallflower Gallery downtown. It's a cool space and it features great bands, but the strongest thing to drink in there is coffee. Perhaps Club Space (142 NE Eleventh St.; 305-372-9378) will solve the problem. Opening on Friday, Space is located downtown, a few blocks northwest of the American Airlines Arena. The club is a combination of several warehouses and, surrounded as it is by tall buildings, grimy concrete, and homeless people, it may seem like an urban adventure. On Saturday the place will host a gay night, and if you have an invitation or RSVP, there's no cover for either party this weekend (otherwise it costs $20). Doors open at 11:00 p.m. on Friday and 10:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Back on the Beach, the ever-vicious live-music cycle apparently is on an upswing. This week both V-Lounge (737 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-674-0048) and Level (1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-532-1525) are giving it a go. V-Lounge, in conjunction with New York's CBGB, hopefully will offer a couple of events each month: one all-ages, and an over-21 show, plus occasional national acts. Starting the series off is an all-ages show on Sunday, featuring the Groovenics, Further Seems for Ever, Enemy Against Enemy, Sixo, and Behind the Green Door. The first band goes on at 2:00 p.m., and cover charge is $8. If you want to catch live music on Mondays, Level offers an alternative to Señor Frogs. Beginning this week the club will feature a local band in its Boiler Room. Miami rockers Maria kick off the weekly party. Doors open at 10:00 p.m. and there's no cover.

Definitely worth a drive north: Thursday good-ol'-boy (and girl) band Southern Culture on the Skids with openers Countdown Quartet are at FuBar (909 E Cypress Creek Rd., Fort Lauderdale; 954-776-0660), and funksters Parliament at Alligator Alley (2079 N University Dr., Sunrise; 954-742-6874). Doors open for the Southern Culture show at 9:00 p.m., and cover charge is $10. The doors for the Parliament show also open at 9:00 p.m., and cover charge is $25. Other out-of-towners playing closer to home are Tinsley Ellis on Saturday, and former Smithereen Pat DiNizio on Tuesday, both at Tobacco Road (626 S. Miami Ave.; 305-374-1198). The Ellis show begins at 10:45 p.m. and cover is $5; DiNizio goes on at 10:00 p.m. Call for cover.

Hi all and in particular Anne & Charles who helped me with my maths and I may yet prevail upon you guys again and anyone else.
I have made my 6x2 and 9x2 layers and now have 12 inch layers to do next week, only to find that the cake store where I am hiring my tins only does 3 inch deep ones. I am making the white or yellow butter cake.
So I am going to have to do this in a 3 inch depth tin as i cannot get hold of anything in time without importing it to the UK.

Thank you so much

Senator Krueger & Senate Democrats Pass Laws Restructuring Outdated Matrimonial Laws Including No Fault Divorce
For Immediate Release | June 15, 2010
Katie Kincaid | firstname.lastname@example.com | 646-784-0485
(Albany – NY) The New York State Senate has just passed legislation that would allow for No Fault Divorce, a bill that fundamentally restructures matrimonial law to improve the process of divorce for all New Yorkers. This legislation, along with two other bills having to do with matrimonial law, was co-sponsored, and fiercely advocated for, by State Senator Liz Krueger, who represents Midtown and the East Side of Manhattan.
Under the current law, determining who is at fault for the divorce has significant financial and emotional costs, and unnecessarily forces coupes to rehash the painful and sometimes bitter reasons for divorce.
"There is a reason why every other state has embraced similar matrimonial laws," said Senator Krueger. "For too long New Yorkers have been forced to work through a system that makes the already painful divorce process even more difficult. I am proud to be a Co-Sponsor of these bills which will undoubtedly help people during this difficult time, making it easier for them to get on with their lives."
Other significant reforms passed by the Senate Majority as part of this package include establishing post-marital income guidelines for maintenance awards and ensuring that all parties can afford counsel from the beginning of divorce proceedings. Information on these bills can be found below.
Establishing Post-Marital Income Guidelines to Ensure Fairness
Most families do not have substantial assets to divide upon dissolution of a marriage—the greatest asset of the marriage is frequently the income of the more-monied spouse. The less-monied spouse has often sacrificed the ability to earn money in order to be able to care for children or elderly parents while the more-monied spouse is working.
Current law fails to provide adequate guidance as to how to divide the assets of future income in an equitable manner. Establishing post-marital income guidelines would ensure that there is consistency and predictability to post-marital income calculations across jurisdictions.
Ensuring Access to Counsel for Divorce Proceedings
When an action for divorce is commenced, it is often the case that most of the marital assets available for the payment of legal fees are controlled by one of the spouses. Currently, in order to ensure that each party will have equal access to adequate legal representation judges are authorized to require the more-monied spouse to pay the legal fees of the less-monied spouse.
However, interim counsel fees are inconsistently awarded, and often not until a trial has begun—too late in the process to really be helpful. This legislation would require the awarding of counsel fees toward the beginning of the divorce process, allowing more equitable representation for both parties.

Bullish ST rejects chip slump forecasts
Post a comment
There is no downturn in chips, merely a "mid-cycle market correction", according to STMicroelectronics (ST).
ST, which reported its fourth quarter and full-year results today (25th January), acknowledged that, like other big semiconductor vendors, it had suffered from the effects of higher client inventories in the last three months of 2000.
Q4 sales were sequentially flat at $2.174bn from Q3's $2.042bn.
But ST now sees the most positive aspect of 2001 being the second half. Once inventory levels have stabilised, it believes that demand could send growth towards 20% from the third calendar quarter onwards.
The company was in bullish mood as it posted a Q4 gross profit of $1.04bn, the first time it has passed the $1bn mark at that time of year. Net profit for the period was $461.9m.
For the full year, ST recorded a 54.5% jump in turnover to $7.813bn — the highest sales growth for any top 10 chip vendor — and a 165% leap in net income to $1.452bn.
Pasquale Pistorio, president and CEO, attributed the comparatively strong performance to the company's continuing high R&D spend — up to $1.026bn in 2000 from 1999's $836m — and its concentration on higher margin products rather than commodity chips, such as memories.
ST nevertheless was a major beneficiary of 2000's intense demand for flash, as its full year revenues for that segment rose 211% to $637m.
In other fields, last year's telecom chip revenues were up 76% at $2.356bn, digital multimedia rose 119% to $1.022bn and smartcards grew 53% to $278m.
Joe D'Elia, semiconductor research director for Gartner Dataquest, said: "These results are a vindication of the strategy the company has followed for the last decade.
"These guys have got it right."
Pistorio confined his self-congratulatory comments to repeating the phrase "It's not bad" in three different languages.
Jean-Philippe Dauvin, ST's group vice president and chief economist, also poured cold water on the notion that the mobile comms slump was hitting as hard as has been claimed.
"[Mobile communications] did deteriotate in the fourth quarter, but look at the overall projections we had for 2000," he said. "That was a 440 million [unit] sales volume; in the end it was 410 million, so that's not even 5% off."
The greater influence, he argued, had been the drop off in the PC market.
Dauvin is factoring the PC element strongly into his overall chip market projections for 2001, forecasting only 8% growth, somewhat below other recent entries.
The bright side for ST is that once PC and other segments - chiefly opto - that it does not serve are factored out, its own target markets should achieve 15% growth, said Dauvin.
Dataquest's D'Elia objected to the 8% forecast.
"I think that's a political number. My own personal belief is that 2001 will be in the teens [of percentage growth]. My gut feel is that it's not a single digit growth year," he said.
Dataquest's preliminary 2000 ranking of the world's top 10 chip companies places ST in seventh place by turnover, up from ninth last year.
However, the Q4 2000 $2.174bn figure now gives ST a faster run-rate than sixth-placed Motorola, with expected $8bn full-year 2000 sales, and puts TI, which has just posted disappointing figures, well in ST's sights.
Pistorio, who recently turned 65, was asked if securing the number five spot might be the point at which he chose to retire. He was, not surprisingly, non-committal.
"Why do you want me to retire?" he asked.

Amid Trump Jr. Mess, 2 Big Stories Got Underplayed
Three big stories unfolded this week, writes Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal.
The problem is that while one of them—the Donald Trump Jr. saga—got wall-to-wall coverage, the other two didn't get anywhere near the attention they deserved. The first is the recapturing of Mosul by the Iraqi army. ISIS got routed by a once-ridiculed army, and no matter what you think of US policies and no matter whether you lean left or right, it's worth pausing to consider this momentous victory. "For what? Civilization."
The second was the slaying of NYPD officer Miosotis Familia. "It should be a major, sustained national story when cops are killed for being cops," writes Noonan. "Yet each incident never gels into a theme. The media caravan moves on."

'We need Mbeki's wisdom to rescue SA', says Mathews Phosa (podcast)
Even as he rejects the former president's washing of hands over claims of a plot against him, Mathews Phosa says the ANC still needs him. He spoke to Piet Rampedi
ANC veteran Mathews Phosa has called on the party to rope in Thabo Mbeki in an advisory role, arguing that the former president's "wisdom" is crucial to help resolve South Africa's crises.
Mbeki, said Phosa, should not be "hanged for one mistake" - a reference to perceptions that Mbeki had mistreated his political rivals, including President Jacob Zuma, when he was in power.
Phosa made his call in response to an article Mbeki published online this week giving his version of events in the alleged 2001 plot, later found to be false, to assassinate him.
Ironically, Phosa was named as one of the plotters - alongside Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and businessman Tokyo Sexwale.
Phosa this week urged Zuma and the ANC to create a council of elders to advise the party on difficult situations, rather than allowing personal differences to trump national interests.
"Mbeki is a great asset to this country and he will remain that," he said. "He is a strategist. He is a good leader. He is one of those leaders who was a shining example of strategy in action. He could find solutions where many people would see darkness."
A former ANC treasurer, Phosa said that despite Mbeki's weaknesses, his leadership capacity and management of the economy remained unmatched.
The ANC, which recalled Mbeki as president in September 2008, eight months before his five-year term would have ended, should "maximise the use for Mbeki", he said.
"Why is he locked up in Sudan and other far places? What are we making him do in this country? We should make use of the wisdom he has in the sense of giving advice on difficult issues, like economic issues.
"He is a very serious economist. He didn't read it from in the streets. He read it from the books," said Phosa.
Under Mbeki, he insisted, the economy had performed extremely well - the "graphs speak for themselves".
Asked whether he thought Zuma had allowed his personal differences with Mbeki to overshadow reason, Phosa replied: "My view has always been that if there are personal differences, they should not become more important than national interests because if they [do], then we are acting incorrectly."
Mbeki had all the time in the world as a retired politician, said Phosa, and "all those people in the cabinet are busy".
Phosa said Zuma's sacking of Nhlanhla Nene as finance minister was "unfortunate" because it destroyed the world's confidence in South Africa's fiscal management.
"It doesn't matter whether you put Pravin [Gordhan] or you put whomever. That confidence is not going to come back tomorrow. And we all must sink that in our heads. The confidence in us as a country has been shattered."
Phosa, however, rejected Mbeki's assertion in the letter this week that he, Mbeki, had nothing to do with implicating Phosa, Sexwale and Ramaphosa in the so-called plot to overthrow his government.
He said Mbeki's failure to dismiss the rumour plot when it surfaced in April 2001, the timing of his letter and his failure to break his silence while former Mpumalanga ANC Youth League leader James Nkambule and former safety and security minister Steve Tshwete - the two key players in the saga - were still alive raised ethical and moral questions.
Mbeki's letter opened old wounds and was defensive.
"If it was true, he would have said it when Steve was alive and Nkambule was alive. In the absence of evidence we must hold judgment on it. He should have spoken at the time. Why he didn't speak at the time I cannot explain. It's very strange to me and it's a bit of a problem."
Mbeki's failure to reprimand Tshwete in public meant that "he failed a moral standing there", Phosa said.
Mbeki's decision not to follow suit when Nelson Mandela dismissed the claims on the spot was a sign of "weakness in leadership" because he chose to "govern by gossips" rather than facts.
Mbeki's letter denied accusations that his administration had orchestrated the conspiracy claims. The former president said such beliefs were "based on deliberate misinformation" and "gross distortion" of history.
"The Nkambule saga . . . had nothing whatsoever to do with my alleged paranoia, which the domestic and international media has continuously trumpeted for almost 15 years now, to date, based on false deductions and pure self-serving speculation," Mbeki wrote.

Campgrounds, restrooms closed
Ukiah Daily Journal
Though its trails and disc golf courses are remaining open, most of Lake Mendocino's campgrounds and day-use areas are closed due to uncertain funding, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday.
"In the absence of a final appropriation for Fiscal Year 2014, we must choose to fund our endangered species fish hatchery and ecosystem restoration over recreation," USACE San Francisco District Commander Lt. Col. John K. Baker said in a press release.
"Our No. 1 priority remains the safety and security of our visitors, stakeholders, partners and friends. When funding shortfalls negatively impact life, health and safety issues, we must keep those areas closed," Baker continued.
The areas closed to the public at Lake Mendocino include: Bushay campgrounds and day-use areas; Kyen campgrounds, CheKaKa campground, Pomo A, B and C day-use areas, Pomo Cultural Center, the Overlook, Joe Riley day-use area, North and South Boat Ramp launches (for boater safety due to lack of water), Miti boat-in campground (due to lack of water).
The North and South Boat Ramp restrooms will remain closed, as well as the Dam Crest parking lot restroom.
Areas that are open at Lake Mendocino include the North and South Boat Ramp parking lots, the Dam Crest parking lot, Laweyo Horse Staging Area and trail, Shakota Trail, Oak Grove day-use area, North and South Disc Golf courses, and the Lake Mendocino Park Headquarters and the Inlet Road.
At Lake Sonoma, "more than 200 camp sites and five group day-use sites will remain closed until sufficient funding is allocated."

Oxley family: Thank you for help with fires
January 9, 2014
To the editor:
To the wonderful people of Moffat County:
First of all, we would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2014. We live in a wonderful area with wonderful people. Regardless of any hardships, that in itself is enough to be thankful for!
For us, and a few other families (the Slaights, the Lathrops, and most recently, the Pingleys), 2013 brought life-changing fires to our homes and lives. These disasters were mitigated only by the fact that we live in the most amazing corner of the world and in the greatest community anyone could ask for. The support and generosity we encountered after our fire was superbly kind, compassionate and so very humbling.
We will spend the rest of our lives working to pay it forward.
After the craziness the holidays bring, our lives are finally calming down, and the rebuilding process of our home and our relationships can begin. We want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our friends, family and this community for making a hard time immensely easier for us. If it weren't for all of you and all your support, we don't know where we would be today.
Recommended Stories For You
We love you all and greatly appreciate everything. This truly is the greatest place in the world to live, and we are so proud to have the opportunity to reconstruct both our house and our lives in this place we have always called home. May 2014 bring us all opportunity and prosperity!
Kevin, Chris, Katie, Nikki

Reporters Without Borders condemns the Fiji appeal court's harassment of Leone Cabenatabua, the editor of the Fiji Sun, and Virisila Buadromo, the head of the Fiji Women's Rights Movement, who were summoned and warned by the court on 12 February because of an article quoting Buadromo in that day's issue criticising the military-led government's appointment of new judges to the court.
"The judges exceeded their prerogatives by trying to intimidate a newspaper editor who just published an activist's views on a violation of the rule of law," the press freedom organisation said.
Questioning the independence of the Fijian judicial system, Buadromo's article described the appointments as illegal and said they were an attempt by the military to legitimise their December 2006 coup. It was the three judges named in the article - Daniel Gounder, Nazhat Shameem and Jocelyn Scutt - who summoned Cabenatabua and Buadromo. No charges have been brought against them.

The Roots of Obamacare
By Christopher Kelly
Faith in Kings?
In Peter Ackroyd's The History of England Volume I: Foundation, 2011 (www.amzn.com/125000361X) we read…
"The belief that the king's touch could cure the skin disease of scrofula emerged at some point in the twelfth century, although Edward the Confessor was accredited with miraculous powers at an earlier date. It is possible that Henry II was the first king to make a ritual out of healing those afflicted by the disease, and one of his courtiers wrote that the 'royal unction' was manifest 'by the diminution of groin disease and the cure of scrofula'. The tradition continued until at least 1712, when Queen Anne touched the three-year old Samuel Johnson (see earlier post, Cats, Oysters and Dr.Johnson, 1/23/13) for the latter disease. Johnson remained a staunch royalist for the rest of his life."
Does the superstitious belief in the healing power of kings not lie at the very root of the NHS system in Britain today and, furthermore, in the touching faith in Obamacare that is shared by so many on the left? It is but a short step from faith in the divine right of kings to belief in the therapeutic powers of the nanny state as exemplified by the NHS or the belief that Obamacare will lower health care costs. "The king loves his people and will provide 'free' health care for all" is the atavistic basis for Britain's NHS and Obamacare.
Obamacare, with its Orwellian name ('Affordable Health Act'), will, in fact, raise insurance premiums, cost jobs, tax the middle class, add to the deficit, cost more than promised and create a bureaucratic nightmare, exacerbate doctor shortages and leave an estimated 30 million uninsured.

Art is where you find it, even in alleys
They are mostly gone from Rockdale's consciousness, the alleys of downtown.
Once they were a part of commerce and a night watchman patrolled them from dusk to dawn as part of his duties in a Rockdale where most commerce occurred in a four-block area between Green and Burleson.
Today they are just the spaces between rows of buildings, many empty, some still thriving.
They've changed a lot over the years. Where the "artistic" old freight elevator at right once stood there's now a sizeable hole in the 100 block of East Cameron, thanks to the landmark fire of Dec. 12, 2002.
The proximity of the old city jail ( lower right) to the alley between Main and Burleson provided a few surprises when its only access was an outside door in the mid-20th Century.
More than one alley pedestrian has been startled to hear his or her name called out and suddenly be in a conversation, through bars, with an inmate.
In Rockdale's very early days, alleys served a not-too-glamorous purpose, providing access to outhouses. That began to change when the first sewers were installed in 1911.

Breaking Bread: Selling and Packaging Food
Junior Burger
Flagged as Spam (1)
2012/08/21 04:19:44
If you've perfected a recipe and are known as the go-to person for your particular specialty it might be time to think about going commercial. It's a big decision and should be carefully thought through. However, if you end up making a quadruple batch of your recipe to share with friends and family every time you make it, you just might have what it takes to make it work for you. Before you do so there are several factors that you should be aware of:
You will no longer be able to bake at home - food products that are for commercial sale must be produced in a commercial kitchen facility complete with all the appropriate licenses, food handler's permits, and every other kind of certification that your local government says you need. You'll need to adjust your recipes to account for mass production and long distance travel.
Start small – start a buzz in your local market by selling at farmer's markets, flea markets, and church bazaars. Talk to the manager of one of your local grocery stores about getting your product put on their shelves. As demand for your product grows you will be able to expand your business.
Become a niche food producer – don't' try to be everything to everyone. If your specialty is sauces then you should only produce sauces. The same goes for baked goods, jams, or anything else you can think of.
Create an eye-catching package – while it's what's on the inside that counts, the packaging is what is going to entice people to pick up your product and take it home. Make sure that your design evokes emotions in your targeted audience that makes them feel like they just have to have it! Make sure your packaging includes a label that lists the ingredients and nutritional information.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
An Eclectic MixHard to find either a niche or an adjective for a group with this much stylistic range, from Appalachia to New Orleans, to New York and Paris, but considering their collective background it's not that surprising: a guitarist with rock and roll roots and classical training; a bassist who used to hang out with Wolfman Jack; a drummer who teaches English at the University of Detroit; and a singer with a background in clinical psychology.
Jo Serrapere and the Hot Tail Section
December 15, 2001
By Russ Ringsak
So it's natural that their interests would run to everything from the 1930's jazz of the Hot Club of France to mountain folk songs and acoustic blues, taking influences from Mississippi John Hurt, Louie Prima, Bessie Smith, Nat King Cole and Tom Waits. They are reputed to occasionally slip into alternative rock, a category so vague nobody has ever successfully defined it; a country cynic's example of it might be a bar band experiencing a train wreck, but it doesn't sound like that when these folks do it.
Jo has been busy lately, so busy that last February she was involved in five different CD projects at once: a live album with the Hot Tail Section, a solo album in a Rock/Experimental vein, an acoustic album with bluegrass songwriter K.C. Groves, called She Went Upstairs, a solo old-time blues album with a little guitar help, and a then-secret project with Lisa Hunter and others, referred to at the time as "disturbed individuals."
She and the band have played numerous festivals in the past three years: the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY, the Grape Jam Festival in Erie, PA, the South Florida Folk Festival in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Farmfest in Johannesburg, MI and the International Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven, CT. All this and the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, plus a whole lot of club dates, touring the eastern half of the country from Florida to Texas, Michigan to Massachusetts.
She was naed as an official showcase artist at the 1998 North American Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, Tennessee and won the songwriting competition at the 1999 South Florida Folk Festival for "Best Ballad" with her song Dream My Girl; and she won 'Best Vocalist" in the acoustic music category at the 1999 Detroit Music Awards.

- British GP - FP2
Bottas miffed by bizarre engine cover damage
Valtteri Bottas says he has no idea what caused the engine cover on the left side of his Williams to come loose in FP2 at Silverstone.
Bottas was driving down Hangar Straight when the engine cover appeared to tear off, leaving a big hole in the bodywork. At the time Bottas had accumulated more mileage than anyone after taking his car back from Susie Wolff for the afternoon session and he says the reason for the incident is unclear.
"No, just the bodywork came off, and that's it really," Bottas said when asked if he knew what happened."No [driveability issues afterwards]. I don't know yet, we will have to see but it just came off."
It concluded a frustrating day for Williams, with Bottas' issue coming after Susie Wolff's debut in FP1 came to an end after four laps with an oil pressure problem and Felipe Massa putting his car in the wall at Stowe. Despite this Bottas does not think Williams is at too much of a disadvantage as it looks to find a way to hold off the resurgent Ferrari and Red Bull.
"We missed some aero tests we had planned for the morning so it's a pity but the main thing we focused on in FP2 was the set-up work. The aero work we can do here in the test next week. One session pretty much lost for us but we can't change it so it's ok.
"It was] not bad for just one session. Quite tricky conditions today, quite windy and it's not an easy place to set up the car. A lot of work to do for tomorrow, it looks like Ferrari and Red Bull are a bit closer than Austria, I think it's going to be really tight so anything that we can improve we can help. It's definitely a downforce track and we know we still have work to do in that area."
Bottas regrets the timing of his late incident as it prevented him from gaining all the long-run data from his tyres.
"It wasn't really long enough to get proper feeling, but until then it was quite consistent, no graining issues or anything with the tyres. It was not bad until then but the real long run really starts at the end of the stint, you start to see how good you are so it's difficult to say."

Matt Garza (elbow) was removed from his first live batting practice session in Cubs' camp Sunday.
Garza was spotted holding his left side, but it's not clear if he's dealing with the setback. We likely won't know more until the Cubs update his status. Garza had been ahead of schedule in his recovery and was throwing 45-pitch bullpen sessions this week, but was mostly limited to fastballs.
