The foundation of any baking recipe is flour, and in our case, gluten free flour. How do you know what gluten free flour or blend combination is best for which recipe? Should you blend your own or buy a pre-mixed gluten free flour blend? Read on for answers!
When I finally created (after two years of work!) a truly All Purpose gluten-free flour that I could use just like I had my all purpose wheat flour before, I was back baking delicious foods again, for everyone! I was so excited to share delicious treats with friends and family — and to lick the bowl — that I ultimately started sharing my "Jules Flour" with tens of thousands of others living gluten-free because it was too good to keep just for myself!
When you want to convert a favorite family recipe, or a gluten-free recipe calling for several different kinds of flour, all you need to do is to use a really good and truly all purpose gluten-free flour like my gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour. Simply total up the amount of flour called for in the recipe and use that amount of the all purpose gluten-free flour instead.
At the end of the day, don't be daunted by all these recipes and ratios, though. I don't make a new blend for every recipe anymore. What I use EVERY day in ALL recipes is my gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. It takes the guess-work out of all of it; I know I can rely on it to work and it keeps my baked goods fresher longer. It truly makes gluten free life a lot easier!

Tuesday's here, and you know what that means...it's time to head to the store to check out the latest releases. This week, dig a hot new album from The Black Lips, the raunchy teen comedy Sex Drive, the squad-based shooter Killzone 2, and a whole lot more!
Source: Summit Entertainment
Sex Drive is a raunchy teen comedy that surprises not just with its gross-out antics but also with its surprisingly funny story and characters. Think of it as the American Pie for this decade. If you didn't catch it while it was in theaters, you can grab it on DVD now. Some of the special features you'll get are a filmmaker's audio commentary, the Making a Masterpiece behind-the-scenes featurette, The Marsden Dilemma featurette, and more. And it doesn't hurt that the DVD version is unrated, which means a lot more…well, you know..nudity and all that jazz.
There's nothing like an indie film to show you heavy-hitting actors playing parts outside their typical type. In What Just Happened we get to see Robert De Niro and Bruce Willis easing off the tough guy act and upping the ante on their neuroses. Robin Wright Penn, the sexy Kristen Stewart, Catherine Keener, John Turturro, and Stanley Tucci round out this excellent cast, and the special features give you a look at how the movie was made. It has two making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, a look at the casting sessions, and commentary from the author of the book the movie was based on and director Barry Levinson. The movie didn't enjoy a very wide theatrical release, so now's your chance to get it on DVD and get your indie on.

Garage rockers The Black Lips follow up their critically-acclaimed Good Bad Not Evil LP with the release of 200 Million Thousand. This new album has the band delivering simple, straightforward songwriting mixed perfectly with the Black Lips distinctive grime. Critics darlings, The Black Lips have received previous acclaim from Rolling Stone, Spin, Filter, The Fader, Anthem, Paste, and The New York Times to name a few. Last year, Rolling Stone called them "one of the best live bands in America" and for good reason. The Atlanta crew has a magic way of whipping a crowd into frenzy with their raw unpredictable energy. If you want some good ol' fashioned rock 'n' roll that is sure to make your brain explode, The Black Lips are the band for you.
Somali-Canadian rapper/musician K'Naan is ready to take center stage and it's about frickin' time. His name means "traveler" in the Somali language and, with the release of Troubadour, K'Naan has created his own musical path through reggae, funk, pop, soul and, above all, hip-hop. Recorded primarily in Kingston, Jamaica at the legendary Tuff Gong studios and Bob Marley's home studio, Troubadour is a hip-hop album like no other. With contributions by Damian Marley, Mos Def, Chubb Rock, Vernon Reid, and Adam Levine, K'Naan has successfully blended samples and live instrumentation for a sound that's rooted in both traditional African melodies and the classic hip-hop tradition. You could throw K'Naan in the "political rapper" category, but that just wouldn't be fair. This man is a breath of fresh air in the recent world of cartoon hip-hop characters. Scoop this s**t!

Killzone 2, the squad-based shooter sequel, comes out this week and first impressions in the gaming industry indicate that it will surely live up to the hype. It's stunning in its graphical consistency, and the developers skillfully eschew the player's ability to switch cast members by putting you in the boots of Sev, one of the soldiers in the squad. Other facets have been refined such as the cover system and aiming mechanisms, but all indications are that if you liked the first Killzone, you'll love the second.
A semi-satirical but totally-functional first person shooter, Eat Lead: the Return of Matt Hazard unfolds the next chapter of the story of Matt Hazard. Hazard, voiced by Will Arnett, is the gruff, way-over-the-top protagonist who solves problems with more bullets than can mathematically fit in a gun or on a person. Throughout, the game pokes fun at itself and other shooters (like the flick Shoot 'Em Up) but still remains engaging, playable and fun.
Did we miss anything? What releases are you looking forward to picking up this week?

Wow that sucks!
It's not that huge a deal. I don't know why people think it's so fantastic, as you're comment is as visible as everyone else's on the first page.
Fuck, *your. My bad.
Jjimen1654 | 9
Its pretty stupid that you have to make an amazing pun, or witty comment to not get thumbed down. Whats wrong with you commenting what you feel?
Because saying "Wow that sucks" when you could just press the button that says "I agree, your life sucks" is both wasting comment space and adding nothing of substance to the FML. And it doesn't always have to be a witty comment or pun. Many people get thumbed up for simply adding an intelligent statement or suggestion for the OP to comment section. That's just the way it is, and frankly I see no problem with it.
TheCanucklehead | 22
Because puns are what make this community strong! I salute you FMLians

As does your comment #1.

evilplatypus | 35
38 - I think they meant something OP could show the authorities to prove his case.
Kristoffer | 29
Only because the responsible party is refusing to cover the financial costs of his actions.
DyslexicPanda | 12
37, you took the words right out of my mouth. People are sometimes douches and deserve to be treated as such
DorkAlert | 10
First of all, those "electric lines" which I'm wondering if they are phone lines cuz usually its phone lines in a neighborhood and electric lines n usually underground by houses. Also, those aren't OP's property but the company that owns those lines. SOOO the company can sue OP's neighbor. Glad we could clear this up.

He probably figured he can just sue the tree for falling the way it did rather than pay damages to you. This *is* in America right?
Queensland | 27
Yes, but obviously OP's neighbour is. So 7 has a point.
rocker_chick105 | 31
That joke was so funny and original. America is not stupid. We just tend to exploit our stupid people better. Don't act like we're the only country with dumb people.
By imagineapc | 11
This is when you get a lawyer. Make sure to include legal fees in your lawsuit!

Nintendo Video
It's pretty impressive to see all of the classic, iconic, and game-changing systems Nintendo has made over the last thirty years. If only this thing showed sales figures, because some of those systems, and specifically the handhelds have made Nintendo bank. Personally, I've owned about half of those systems, and have played them all (with the exception of the Wii U). Also, probably the most interesting aspect of the video is seeing the ways the controller changes. Nintendo is the best when it comes to making new ways to interact with the system, and I'm sure the Wii U is no exception.

Holistic Thinking – Integrated MakingA Thirteen-point manifesto for educating creators of cinema and the institutions that teach them.
[After three scrappy attempts to collate these ideas here lies the final Manifesto]
The paradigms have shifted. The great wheels of perspective and process have turned and re-aligned themselves. They haven't done it alone. The cogs have moved with the binaural pressure of technology and expectation. The technology has given media makers new ways to create and new means to deliver. On their own these might not be enough to shift the paradigm of understanding and conceptualization over but with new means of creation and new channels of delivery comes new and evolved expectations of the viewer. An audience that has an increasingly sophisticated visuality and an ever broadening complex of psychological tools for comprehension.
And here the great turning of the wheels grind and shudder, for whilst the tools have evolved, and the viewer has evolved in their expectations of what the tools can make; the conceptual underpinnings of the institutions of cinematic teaching have not. The hierarchical, segmented, linear, sequential and stratified paradigms of cinematic assembly and comprehension still form the spine of teaching and learning about cinematic making – embodied into the bedrock of the institutions seemingly unshakable and unquestioned.
But, to persist with these engrained modes is inherently problematic and walks the path of failing the media makers of the future. There is no doubt that, in spite of these inflexible short-sighted pedagogical approaches at odds with the direction of cinema, media makers will always find their way forward into new cinematic possibilities driven by technologically. But what the future of media production requires is not more creators who know how to wield the tools but more creators who can wield the tools with an intellectual and conceptual deftness that prevents a diminishing of technology to its lowest, common, cinematic denominator.
Give any young person a software video editing system and their first product will invariably be a pastiche of every video effect, transition and digital hyperbole the system can offer. This is not just immaturity but rather a natural process that must be embraced. One must 'get it out of their system' before they can embrace a more sophisticated mode and process. Before they can wield the tool with finesse and greater emotional dexterity they must first feel its weight and wield it in earnest clumsiness.
But whilst the institutions that provide the foundation for shaping new media makers continue to be built from traditional and antiquated production and theoretical structures - structures fundamentally at odds with contemporary and evolving expectations and sensibilities - we in effect, create cinematic practitioners that leave their education and enter into creative lives still having not had the chance to get the digital hyperbole 'out of their system'. A generation of immature cinematic creators still dazzled by the power of the digital rather than intellectually and tangibly skilled in manipulating and shaping the digital into more meaningful forms.
In this light I present a thirteen-point manifesto for repositioning the education of creators of cinema and the institutions that teach them. Thirteen key areas that all media makers of the future must conceptually comprehend and tangibly be able to wield. Thirteen key areas that all students should be versed in and knowledgeable of. Not in substitution of established cinematic concepts but in compliment to them - The layer doesn't supplant the sequence; it enhances it. The composited image doesn't dilute the cut it expands its context. The animated doesn't overtake the power of the still. The virtual doesn't discount the real, it emphasises and questions it.
Here then I propose 13 elements, perspectives, cocnepts and approaches for building better cinematic artists of the future.

nikitawrote a review of Smith Sidekick Junior Series Goggles - Youth on October 26, 2016
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit: True to size
Bought two goggles for my 6 y.o. son. One google for sunny days and other with clear lenses for night riding. These googles were really nice. My son loved them. Now he is 9 y.o. and I'm looking for larger size.

There's media coverage and there's strategic media coverage. Strategic coverage supports your brand. Staying on message and remaining mindful of the desired outcome of each interview differentiates successful coverage from a mere mention.
Consider a recent feature on D-M-E Company, one of our manufacturing clients, in Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies. Granted, D-M-E is a client, so I acknowledge this might smack of professional bias. But this is an excellent illustration of artfully weaving key messages into an interview to support brand positioning in the marketplace.
D-M-E President Dave Lawrence masterfully recites "every step of the way" and "essential resource" messages, resulting in page-one coverage in the feature. Market research conducted to strategically position the company for growth led to those messages and countless others, such as "speed-to-market," which also are included in the article.
When you know what to say based on what drives the market and how to say it in ways not offensive to reporters' sensibilities about including marketing speak in their stories, you are well on your way to producing strategic media coverage for your company.

Responses (1)
To see any results and how long it takes will depend on how low you were on iron to start off with.
You may feel an improvement in a couple of days, if your iron was quite low. Once the iron levels/stores get to normal (required) levels you'll definitely notice a difference.

Cruise Lines
Voyages to Antiquity
Combining the excitement of exploring with the comfort of boutique-cruising
Voyages to Antiquity combines the excitement of exploring the remarkable classical civilisations of the Mediterranean with the comfort and service of boutique-style cruising.
Its aim is to open a window into the origins and genius of western civilisation.
But expertly planned voyages, however, are not only about history. As well as visiting breathtaking archaeological treasures, guests will be inttroduced to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and experience the food and wine of the Mediterranean.
Aegean Odyssey: Rebuilt to cater for cruising in the coastal water of central and southern Mediterranean
The Aegean Odyssey is a premium class ship especially rebuilt to cater for cruising in the coastal waters of the central and southern Mediterranean.
The vessel provides the best features of a mid-size ship such as passenger space and choice of restaurants, with the personal service and intimate surroundings of a small ship.
Originally a mid-size vessel carrying up to 570 passengers, the Aegean Odyssey's new configuration of generously-sized suites, junior suites and staterooms, with and without balconies, means she now accommodates fewer than 380 guests, offering the sophisticated traveller every comfort at sea.
On board you will find a casual and relaxed atmosphere, open seating dining, and expert lecturers and guest speakers who will bring to life the history of these remarkable civilisations.
Your cruise fare also includes shore excursions as described in the itinerary, all gratuities on board ship, wine with dinner, flights and transfers.

2005 Grand Cherokee A/C odor
Hello, I have a 2005 Grand Cherokee Laredo. 4.7L V8. I am experiencing a musty odor coming from my A/C vents when the air is on. We live in a pretty humid climate and I think the drain is clogged, but I cannot find the location of the hose to check it. Can anyone point me in the right direction. If you have any pictures,that would be great as well.
Have had the same problem for years on my 2005, only in summer and only when left sitting for 20mins or longer, smell quickly goes , but unpleasant for 1st 30 secs. Very interested on replies .
Try Turning the Vent on at a moderate temp, before you directly turn the A/C or Vehicle off. Condensation build up in the vents and starts to smell...
Just try to air out the Vents before you turn the car off.... try it!
Don't know if that made sense....:laugh:
You know what i mean though?
There was a TSB out about this, I forget which one but its on WKJeeps.com. They stated that mold builds from the moisture around the A/C coil and this causes the odor. Dealer should take care of it
I checked the TSB and called a local dealer regarding it. They want 250.00 to perform the TSB. Should this be covered free of charge, or is that only if it a recall?
An AC expert once suggested spraying Lysol spary in the outside vent while the ac was running-several applications. I never tried it so I don't know if it will work.
The Lysol Spray worked for a few days, but it doesn't appear the A/C is draining underneath the car. Mymain concrn now is trying to make sure the drain isnot clogged.
Youy might have to access the Evaporator Box to get to the Drain.... that why the $250 quote.... probably all labor.... and they are a b*tch to get to.... most the time...
I still cannot locate any definite information on this. Please Help.
Dealer will not pay for tsb only recalls also u probaly do have mold it will dry out and go dormant but to get rid of it all the way u will need to take it out manually try getting a borescope and checking through your vents

emotional deadlock
View Single Post
Join Date: Nov 2010

Hi polyexplorer,
I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, we do talk sometimes, and he always says he understands me. There is definitely a level of trust and friendship between us. That's good, because it means there's something to build on.
On the other hand, I do not feel supported. He might understand, but his actions haven't shown much consideration. But then again, I haven't been communicating my needs too well, and if even Joyce failed to read between the lines, I can't really expect him to manage that. Or can I? Like I said: mixed feelings.
A big part of the problem is that on the occasions we talked I have communicated rationally that things were okay. Not only to him, also to Joyce. Much less frequent I have communicated rationally that things were not okay. Most of the signs that things were not okay were emotional: bouts of crying, bad dreams, bad moods, needing distance between Joyce and myself. I once told Joyce that she should listen to what I said, not what happened when we would have major drama. So she did. But I think because of this too many of the emotional signs got ignored. And I think J followed Joyce's lead in this.
It's actually quite simple. There's a very big communication FAIL that has been going on for some time. But we're working on that now, and I'm slowly getting back my belief that we can actually do this.

|The Kamasutra
The Kamasutra and Its Interpretations
First Online: December 15, 2001
Introduction to Kamasutra
The Kamashastra is the ancient Indian treatise governing the relationship of humans and the sexes. Its origins can be traced to very first rules of conduct (along with the Dharmashstra and the Athrashastra) in Hinduism. Numerous saints and sages wrote commentaries on the treatise for the common man, known as the Kamasutra (kaa-ma-soo-tra, meaning Aphorisms on Love), but as Dr. Kamat points out in his Introduction to Erotic arts of India, most of these works have been lost.
Fortunately one such guide by sage Vatsyayana (a.k.a. Vatasayana) written in the early part of the Christian era (see a note on dating of the Kamasutra) is available today in its full form and beauty, and is generally referred to as The Kamasutra of Vatsyayana or simply the Kamasutra.
The various editions of Kamasutra have inspired the Indian art, dance, and music for centuries and artists have interpreted the the sensuality in their own skills, imagination, and art forms. In this section we look at art and literature inspired by the Kamasutra.
These interpretations and their marriage to ancient works of literature is by me, and the tongue-in-cheek commentary may be pardoned.

Dad jailed for sending toddler son to school with 'drug dealer's kit' instead of lunchbox
A DAD has been jailed after sending his three-year-old son to nursery school with a "drug dealer's kit" - instead of his usual lunchbox.
Lee Webb, 23, dropped off his child at nursery with a bag filled with cocaine and mephedrone
Lee Webb, 23, mistakenly dropped off his child at Smarty Pants Nursery in Folkestone, Kent, with a bag filled with harmful drugs cocaine and mephedrone.
Shocked staff opened the toddler's rucksack - expecting to find food and drink – only to discover two knives, a set of scales, banned stimulants and other drugs paraphernalia.
In effect, you sent your son there with a drug dealer's kit! Your stupidity put children at risk
Realising his mistake, Webb returned to the school and demanded staff hand over the drug-filled bag, prosecutor Mary Jacobson told Canterbury Crown Court.
Officers later raided Webb's home in Folkestone and found £680 in cash.
A further inspection by forensic officers found that the two plastic lunchboxes contained white powder, later confirmed to be cocaine and mephedrone, with an estimated value of between £8,000 and £12,000.
The father-of-two told officers he had been given the bag by an unnamed third-party to look after overnight – while he also had the details of a local solicitor scrawled on his hand.
Webb, a tree surgeon with energy company EDF, was charged and admitted possessing the Class A and B drugs.
Judge James O'Mahony jailed Webb for four years, telling him: "You sent your three-year-old son to nursery with a rucksack containing a significant quantity of Class A and B drugs.
"In effect, you sent your son there with a drug dealer's kit!
"Your stupidity put children at risk and I consider the potential exposure to children of these drugs is so serious only an immediate custodial sentence can be justified."
The judge added: "You maintain you were holding the drugs on behalf of another and that you were expecting to be paid cash for holding the drugs.
"You must have been well trusted by those further up the (drugs) chain although you indicated you felt intimidated by the individual you assisted.
"Yet you have rejected an opportunity to give evidence in relation to this man and, in reality, profits from selling drugs mean that those involved are invariably intimidating."

Out of the entire methods I have experienced, self-pay was one of the best. I knew what to anticipate and I used to be accountable for my care the entire time. I could change docs if I wished, I could name the billing departments directly for answers to any monetary questions and I might have the satisfaction of realizing I had control over many of the features of my care.
Obesity and Teen Suicide go beneath Healthcare. Instructional funding is simply Training. Homelessness and Poverty go below Unemployment. Thatâs what itâs often the result of. Oil Dependency, Rising National Debt go below The Financial system. Foreign Relations (WARS, SUPPORT) = National Defense (Military). So now the social issues are Well being, Schooling and Welfare, Economy, and National Protection. Prioritized in that order.
In case you stay in California and qualify for Medi-Cal, you've gotten excellent news. California's budget for 2014 consists of hundreds of thousands of dollars for dental care for the poor, essentially replacing cash that was axed from the price range back in 2009. So, when this money becomes out there, stand in line and get every little thing executed you possibly can!
You might be wrong to think immigrants are allowed free healthcare that's not available to US citizens. Chances are you'll wish to do some homework in this area. Anyone who enters a hospital ER must be treated. These that don't pay their bill for whatever purpose are all processed the same method. There is no particular treatment! Those that assume in any other case are grossly misinformed.
I am in a pickle. I may be required to buy Life Insurance (court docket ordered) to guard the Military Retirement payments to my former partner. The final divorce decree required $130,000 Life Insurance coverage (with the former spouse as beneficiary). In 2001 and I purchased a 10-time period policy which has now expired. I discontinued the coverage when it came to 'Time period' as a result of the premium was to extend from $160/mo to $1160/mo – and subsequently I can be held in contempt and compelled to apply for extra protection now.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, founded in 1861, is one of the world's leading universities centered on efforts to solve complex socio-technical problems. MIT's School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) brings together the oldest Department of Architecture in the United States (founded in 1865), the country's largest and oldest continuously operating Department of City Planning (founded in 1933) and the first Center for Real Estate to be located in a School of Architecture and Planning (founded in 1985).
The India Connection
For more than 50 years, the School has maintained a close relationship with India, initially through the enrollment of many postgraduate students (such as Charles Correa) and a range of city design consultancy assignments carried out by the MIT-staffed firm of Adams, Howard and Greeley. Starting in the late 1960s, the relationship broadened to include many mid-career visiting fellows from India, based at the SPURS program (Special Program in Urban and Regional Studies of Developing Areas).
More recently, the School has had a steady stream of doctoral students from India, as well as several India-born faculty members and others who have centered their research on India on issues ranging from studies of the informal economy to questions of water management to an international competition for research papers on innovative institutional responses to India's urban challenges.
IIHS Curriculum co-creation
In terms of human settlements curriculum development, the MIT SA+P has featured several innovative India-based classes, including urban design studios in Erode and Mumbai, two "practicum" courses examining issues of water and sanitation issues, together with human rights concerns, in Gujarat.

Is it to love, to fix the tender gaze,
To hide the timid blush, and steal away;
To shun the busy world, and waste the day
In some rude mountain's solitary maze?
Is it to chant one name in ceaseless lays,
To hear no words that other tongues can say,
To watch the pale moon's melancholy ray,
To chide in fondness, and in folly praise?
Is it to pour th' involuntary sigh,
To dream of bliss, and wake new pangs to prove;
To talk, in fancy, with the speaking eye,
Then start with jealousy, and wildly rove;
Is it to loathe the light, and wish to die?
For these I feel,--and feel that they are Love.
Poems are below...

Wembley's blight to the finish leaves FA seeking alternatives
FRUSTRATED by a string of broken promises, the Football Association is to announce this morning that none of its scheduled showcase matches will be played at Wembley Stadium this year.
Today was the day when a gleaming, finished arena was due to be handed over to the FA, but instead the building site is a shambles blighted by safety fears, issues with sub-contractors and concerns over further cost overruns.
Regardless of whether Multiplex, the lead contractor on the £757 million project, can finish work on the 90,000-seat stadium by mid-summer, as the company was expected to tell the Australian Stock Exchange in the early hours of this morning, officials at Soho Square have decided to avoid constant uncertainty over four important fixtures and a clutch…

It's not about not wanting her there, it's about not wanting her to see me there.
Each week, the inbox of our venerable advice columnist, Miss Information, is flooded with queries. And although she makes a valiant effort, she can't answer them all. To deal with the surplus, we've decided to turn to you. So, don your spectacles and help this gentleman out — give him advice in the comments below. If you have a question that you'd like to turn over to the Nerve Commentariat, send it on over to email@example.com with the subject line "Please Advise."
Dear Nerve,
My wife and I have been happily married for two years now. We have disagreements, of course, but overall, everything's great — our sex life is thriving, and we're just happy being young and in love.
Speaking of being young and in love, my ten-year high-school reunion is coming up, and under no circumstances do I want my wife to attend it with me. A lot of my anxiety has to do with the fact that we met in college, so not only will she not know anybody, but she'll be subjected to a high volume of inside jokes, and the night will just be one endless stream of introductions and her playing catch-up.
She says she's fine with this, but there's a larger issue at play: I'm not sure if I want her around people I knew during high school. I was a bit of a mess in high school — I slept around, I was a pretty big social outcast but for a small group of friends, and a lot of people knew me as a self-abuser. I never wanted anything more from high school than to leave, and so I really came out of my shell at college, where I met my girlfriend. She knows a little bit about my teenage years, but not that much, and I'm not sure I want her to be around the people that do.
I'm not really even sure why I'm going to this — there's a few people I'd like to see, but I can catch up with them any time. I think a lot of this has to do with wanting to prove to my former classmates that I've turned myself around, but I still want to keep those two halves of my life separate. How I can convince my wife that this isn't an issue of trying to keep something from her, or being "ashamed" of her? Is this normal? How many of you went to your reunions solo?
— Romy and… Romy's High School Reunion
What say you, gentle Nerve readers? Help this guy out in the comments below.

Stock rolled out a positive open Friday, with Caterpillar (CAT) leading the Dow, and Autodesk (ADSK), McKesson (MCK) and Deere (DE) setting the pace on the S&P 500.
The Nasdaq strode to an early lead, 0.4%, while the Dow Jones industrial average swung up 0.3% and the S&P 500 added 0.2%.
Deere, Caterpillar, Autodesk Up; Foot Locker, Campbell Dive
Autodesk rocketed 14% higher, topping the Nasdaq 100 and also taking an early lead among S&P 500 stocks. The developer of computer-assisted design software received upgrades from RBC Capital and Bank of America following a solid first-quarter performance reported late Thursday. The stock is extended and taking out new highs above an 89.28 buy point in a flat base.
Also high among S&P 500 stocks, Deere bolted 7% higher at the open. The farm equipment maker reported a 37% rise in fiscal second-quarter earnings, blowing out estimates for an 8% gain. Revenue rose 2% in line with expectations, and management lifted its third-quarter revenue guidance above consensus views. Deere's gain lifted shares 7% above a 112.28 flat base buy point.
Deere's positive report helped send Caterpillar up 1.5%, to top the Dow industrials. Cat shares were in a buy zone, 2% above a 99.56 flat base buy point.
Drug distributor McKesson (MCK) sprung 8% higher. The San Francisco-based giant reported a fiscal fourth-quarter earnings beat, while full-year guidance was above consensus targets. The S&P 500 stock has traded in a narrow zone for six months, along the bottom of a 10-month consolidation.
Applied Materials (AMAT) swung more than 3% higher after reporting an across-the-board sales and earnings beat in its fiscal second-quarter report late Thursday. The stock is taking new highs, working on its fifth straight weekly advance since rebounding from support at its 10-week moving average in April.
IBD 50 stock Nvidia (NVDA) popped 3% after Bernstein initiated coverage on the stock with an outperform rating and a 165 price target. Nvidia shares are extended above a 121.02 buy point in a late-stage base.
Salesforce.com (CRM) tacked on 2% at the open. The cloud-based human resources management leader reported late Thursday a 16% earnings increase and a 25% revenue gain in its first quarter, both above analyst expectations. Shares are trading near highs, after narrowly clearing an 18-month consolidation.
On the downside, Campbell Soup (CPB) cooled by 3% after its fiscal third-quarter earnings and sales missed analysts targets. The company cited rising supply chain costs, promotional spending and other factors.
Foot Locker (FL) dived 17% at the start of trade, after its first-quarter results were weaker than expected by analysts. The company pointed to late income tax returns for its lagging first-quarter performance. The mood spilled over onto Nike (NKE), which dropped 1.4% — the worst early move on the Dow Jones industrial average.
Oil Tests $50 Ahead Of Data; European Stocks Rebound
Markets will have an eye on oil prices, which were trading higher with West Texas Intermediate up 1.2% in early action — trading near the $50 per barrel mark ahead of the Baker Hughes (BHI) weekly rig count report, due out at 1 p.m. ET.
James Bullard, President of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, said in an early speech Friday that the Fed's outlook for two more rate hikes this year may be too aggressive, given the recent economic data, and argued for a go-slow approach to future hikes. Bullard pointed to economic data that has been relatively weak since the Fed's meeting in March, saying "U.S. inflation and inflation expectations have surprised to the downside in recent months. Labor market improvement has slowed."
Overseas, markets in Europe stepped off healthy gains in afternoon trade as they recovered from a sharp sell-off Thursday. London's FTSE 100 rose 0.3% and Paris' CAC-40 rallied 0.4%. Frankfurt's DAX posted a 0.2% gain.

I am in the same market as yourself i.e. buying a DVD Recorder. As a result I have done considerable research, the internet, forum's and by talking to people in the trade.
The result is get a DVD Recorder with a HD. These are now available with 80GB and 160GB. On the internet Forum's the general consensus by people who have purchased Recorder's without HD's.....is that they wished had!!
The three makes which have the best reports are: Sony, Toshiba and Panasonic. Of these the Sony RDRHX510S with 80GB HD receives the most praise. This is the one I will be getting.
The Shop price for these are £399.00. They can be purchased on the Net between £299 and £349. The lowest price was from Curry's at £299.
As regards your alternative suggestion i.e. CDRW's.
I think it would be very time consuming, plus risky if you wish to keep the programs on CDRW's as they detiorate quickly because they have soft layering. You may also find that they would not be compatible with a normal DVD Player used in conjunction with a TV.
Hope the above info' is of help. freaky

Top Ten Songs About the Death Penalty
The death penalty, relatively speaking, doesn't happen too often, when comparing the number of qualifying crimes committed to the number of people executed. There are various reasons why, including the exhaustive appeals process. But this hasn't stopped stop our favorite bands from writing songs about being executed, and we've been rocking to them for years. So death penalty opponents need to make a choice here – would they rather let murderous criminals live, or would they rather jam to these songs? I vote for the latter. And even if some of these songs have an anti-death penalty message, they're still about the subject and wouldn't exist if it weren't for government executions. If we missed your favorites, name them in the comments.
Written by Shel Silverstein and sung by Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison and The Brothers Four. Also Joe Bean.
Well they're building a gallows outside my cell and I've got 25 minutes to go
And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 24 minutes to go…
This song, also performed by Johnny Cash, describes a man being executed via the electric chair who maintains his innocence until he is about to die, when he admits to his guilt.
It began when they come took me from my home
And put me in Dead Row,
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know.
And I'll say it again
This song is flat-out wrong. There are no 16-year-olds on death row. But I don't think 2Pac cared, as this was a posthumous album called 'R U Still Down? (Remember Me)'.
Bye bye, I was never meant to live
Can't be positive, when the ghetto's where you live
Bye bye, I was never meant to be
Livin like a thief, runnin through the streets
Bye bye, and I got no place to go…
Where they find me? 16 on Death Row
Sailing on my every step. Inching off of the earth.
Is magnified by the things I've done.
The thing that I've become.
Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup up, and back.
Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. the things I've caused.
I'm a dead man walking.
This is from the completely overrated movie of the same name, which is about a racist idiot, played by Sean Penn, who is on death row and consoled by a nun, Susan Sarandon.
I see your eyes upon the bars
Memorize their other side
Like the tattoos on your arms
The brag so loud and tough that night
But now the truth comes out
Fast as feel can do your talking
It sets you free as one guard shouts
Dead man walking
But I'm not the man.
He goes free as I wait on the row for the man
to test the rope he'll slip around my throat… and silence me.
Sorry, we couldn't find a video for this, but it's a killer song. Get it?
We've all been detained
For the crimes we've committed
They stayed execution
But we'll never get acquitted
Waiting for the day when they strap us in
And when they pull the lever
Hear the goddamn screams
Shake with fear
Electric chair
Metallica's album of the same name features this song about the electric chair.
Guilty as charged
But damn it, it ain't right
There's someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
This is a centuries old folk song, popularized by Lead Belly, which has seen several cover versions, including Led Zeppelin's, which sounds the best.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.
Friends, you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends? Keep me from the Gallows Pole.
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?
This is number one on the list because the song is a musical masterpiece.
When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
Can it be that there's some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
Is this really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
It's not easy to stop from screaming,
But words escape me when I try to speak.
Tears flow but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Don't I believe that there never is an end?


text: Hi there. I'm a soon to be Android owner and will probably start using this forum often, but I currently have an iPod Touch. I'm upgrading from my Blackberry Storm (for obvious reasons) to the HTC Incredible. So I'm having a tough time deciding if I should sell my iPod Touch when I get the Incredible. Is the music player as user friendly and high quality as the iPod's? How is the browser speed over WiFi? Things like that. Thanks!

You can create a Dream Stream Garden
Patio nurseries are all the more exuberant and appealing on the off chance that they have a water streams. These will make an all the more near nature feel and we can overlook it is really an indoor garden. There are a lot of water stream thoughts that we can consider to put to our patio nurseries. We can either manufacture lakes, smaller than normal lakes, waterfalls, and others. These garden streams will include a more picturesque wonder of our greenhouses furthermore make such a pleasurable sound of nature while the waters gone through it.
· Pond
This will make an alluring perspective into our greenhouses. Plant lakes can be a decent place for us to keep some fish and other oceanic plants and creatures. In the event that our garden is sufficiently wide, we can manufacture a more extensive space for our lakes. Cutting edge thoughts have made plans for garden lakes from a smaller space. Generally, plant planners make their lakes just beneath the walkways or adjacent to the dividers and it will circled the garden. Some would even manufactured a lake produced using glasses. This is one of the best and most commonsense thoughts for making a garden with dream streams.
· Waterfalls
Waterfalls can make an exceptionally attractive scene from our greenery enclosures. It will likewise make an unwinding sound as the waters tumble from the upper layer. There are bunches of waterfall plans today; some are cutting edge and other conventional. We can make one of these utilizing stones, rocks, stones, earthenware production, and even concretes. Others are as of now made and we can simply convey them inside our patio nurseries and introduce the water pump to it. A few people then again get a kick out of the chance to make their own conventional waterfalls and pick their own plans. This is a simple errand gave we know how to put the water pumps and others.
· Fountains
These are frequently utilized on greenery enclosures among the other specified water streams. This is on account of it is one of the most effortless to make. A few wellsprings are as of now outlined and made and are prepared to get. There are various types of wellsprings alone that we can browse. Others have their own particular clean drinking water cultivate where we can motivate water to drink while wandering around. Others have sprinkle wellsprings that would make an energetic vibe to our greenery enclosures. We can frequently observe these from open patio nurseries.
Water stream patio nurseries are extremely customary and exemplary, yet there are current outlines today that suits each garden arranges. Water is one of the characters of nature that we need to make from our patio nurseries. It will give any greenery enclosures a magnificent nature feels. Other gigantic patio nurseries can have their own particular synthetic lakes. This will take a ton of time, and loads of planning, however for individuals who needs to have a genuine dream stream, they will give all there's nothing more needed than to make a delightful and nature cordial.

Mom'a Tree House is hosting a weekly Writer's Club. So since I am an aspiring writer, I decided to join in to get my creative juices flowing.
#2 Describe the moment you realized you were becoming your mother.
As strange as it sounds, I feel like I knew immediately. Almost the very next morning after conception (strange huh?). I just had a feeling, a sense that something inside of me had changed. Of course it was several weeks before I was able to confirm, but my intuition was right, I was pregnant.
In the first few moments after I confirmed it, I cried, but just a little bit. It still seemed unreal to me. It wasn't until months later when I felt the first flutter, that it really sunk in, I was going to be a mommy! I wailed! I mean the flood gates opened up like the heavens. At first there was nothing and then there was something, I had managed to create life inside of my body.
I was amazed at the entire pregnancy. Completely in awe. Despite the fact that I was sick the entire time (with the exception of the 7 month, when I managed to keep my food down), I loved ever single moment. I have never felt more in tune with the universe than I did when I was pregnant. How could I not believe that I was a part of something greater than this human experience?
On August 26, 1995, my labor was induced. True to form with the entire experience, it did not go off without a hitch. I discovered that I was allergic to Pitocin (the medication used to induce labor), so I convulsed for 7 minutes. Two injections later, the convulsions subsided and I was completely exhausted, but the doctor said that I wouldn't deliver until after noon the next day!
By the 10th hour, I had only dilated 1 centimeter. At this rate I would be in labor for 24 hours for sure! At that point my mother had arrived and she told me to push a little bit, every time I felt a contraction, so I did. At the 16th hour, I was fully dilated and very relieved! I was ready, but the nurse told me to wait for the doctor. I looked her dead in the eye and said "I know that you've done this many times before, we don't need to wait for him, we can do this together, me and you." She chuckled and reassured me that the doctor was on his way. When she left the room, I grabbed my husband's hand with my left and my mother's hand with my right, and I pushed as hard as I could. The river began to flow. I called the nurse back and told her that I was not waiting, so she called the ER doctor up to deliver my baby.
After a grueling 16 hours of labor (with no epidural or pain meds), I was finally going to meet my child. I didn't know her sex (well at least I didn't ask during any of the ultrasounds), but I had already decided that I was having a girl, and I was right. On August 27, 1995 at just after 3:00 my daughter, Niara Amani Johnson, weighing in at 6.7 pounds, 19 inches, made her grand entrance into the world. I couldn't believe I was a mom!
My little girl is not so little anymore (she's almost 16 now). Motherhood is, hands down, the best experience of my life.

When the Chicago Bears talked about having Devin Hester focus on what he does best, they meant it.
The electric return man was on the sideline for all but special teams drills during Tuesday's first day of voluntary minicamp inside the Walter Payton Center at Halas Hall.
It was an unusual move as typically even dedicated returners still play some positional role during practice. But Hester did not work with the wide receivers as he has ever since his second season in the NFL in 2007. He worked fielding kicks and also lined up in some drills for kick coverage, tackling dummies at one point.

Paet: Only EU-US Cooperation Will Help Ukraine ({{commentsTotal}})
Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet said that despite recent thorns in the relationship between the two, cooperation between the US and the EU will aid Ukraine the most.
Paet met Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns and Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland in Washington D.C., ETV reported on Friday evening. Nuland's recently leaked phone call to a colleague caused a rift in EU-US relations after she used profanity to describe EU's shortcomings in dealing with the situation in Ukraine.
Paet said deeds are more important than words, and EU has done a great deal to help Ukraine. The US is also increasing its involvement in the troubled state, he said.
The US understands the only way forward is for the US to cooperate with the EU, Paet said, adding such cooperation can also help issues involving Moldova and Georgia.
NATO expansion was also discussed in Washington, with Paet suggesting new states could be invited to join the organization at the next summit in September 2014.
