Its fury in the northeast and -- still don't have power well you're you're angry but as you just got your power back and are dealing with.
Hundreds is not thousands of dollars and spoiled food and goods and that sort of stuff to say nothing up.
Destructs into your home as a result of that -- going out.
You're not feeling very much in love with your power company in Nassau county New York -- so angry that a lot of them are saying you know what.
The hell -- them.
The government should just take over bring the military and anyone but these bozos -- us right now is a fellow who is proposing just that.
Ed and I got a as the Nasser county executive of Long Island Serbs -- -- have you explained what you want to see happen.
-- the power company here -- failed the people in Nassau County.
We have over 80000 people without power it's day eleven here and -- -- it's thought of value we need logistical support.
To support the managerial structure of our utility.
Well we have -- work and they in 1916 hour shifts they're just not getting anywhere without the logistical support from the top.
Right now it Long Island power authority services you write like as it's known.
Now you body -- -- concern in.
I always enjoy your comments in the press when I see -- because they're pretty direct I admire that and what are they say anyway after that I mean today just say you know.
We're overwhelmed we can't do this what what.
Here's the problem the communication has been pour its promise have to promise -- deadline missed deadline after deadline.
We are at a loss at.
The ability to provide our citizens with accurate information.
When will they get their power.
How do they get their power do they need electrical inspections.
Every day it changes.
It needs a complete structure from -- top.
So we can have a military -- system to deliver.
The information accurately concisely to our residence.
I think it would be any any different though right now if we had.
Competition and other words if it's light that -- there a lot of other.
Businesses that could compete with like and other words that they're there and and and made the best survived and made -- that's -- for you -- alternative if one doesn't.
Right now your contingent orgasm I in New Jersey -- -- -- two players are on one or two players that we should broaden.
The field a little bit.
Well I'm sure that's going to be explored as Governor Cuomo has promised a full investigation as to what the heck is going on with that power company.
But right now -- we need boots on the ground here to begin.
Advising our residents exactly how to get their -- -- and if they're not gonna get the power on they need to have that information so they can make.
Wife safety choices when these people are sheltering in place they're living in.
Forty what degree temperatures in their homes the despair is -- my heart's broken I'm sick to my stomach.
When I visit these people and -- just see how their suffering in place with the hope there elect its gonna go on and each day it doesn't happen.
Tomorrow will worked very closely -- thank you very much rooted in the time.

My 60 year-old skin is very happy with the gentle nature and cleansing effectiveness of this product! I took samples along on a recent trip to Alaska, and found it maintained my skin's health in several changes of weather & temperature.
Love this!
By Soonergirl
from Tulsa, OK
I've used several of the DHC toners, but decided to try this for my maturing skin. I have sensitive skin, so I was wary of it, but it hasn't irritated my face at all and actually soothes and hydrates it well. It has a nice consistency, very little scent, and goes on nicely. A winner!
just right!
By Claudee
from Houston, TX
Honestly, I've found nothing detrimental about this product. I think it's fantastic. I like that it isn't drying to my complexion as some toners can be. It's provides a refreshing sensation.

HSA Foundation
The HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture) Foundation is a not-for-profit group whose goal is to make it easy to program for parallel computing. HSA members are building a heterogeneous compute ecosystem, rooted in industry standards, for combining scalar processing on the CPU with parallel processing on the GPU while enabling high bandwidth access to memory and high application performance at low power consumption. HSA defines interfaces for parallel computation utilizing CPU, GPU and other programmable and fixed function devices, and support for a diverse set of high-level programming languages, thereby creating the next foundation in general purpose computing.
Learn More About HSA
What's New with HSA
The Programmer's Guide to a Universe of PossibilityPhil Rogers In this year's Keynote, Phil discusses the exciting developments surrounding the Heterogeneous System Architecture, since its unveiling last year. The talk includes details of the software execution stack, tools for HSA, and some sample workload analysis. There will also be a few important announcements during Phil's address. Watch this presentation & other AFDS presentations. Note: access is free, but you'll need to register. |
An Overview of HSAILNorman Rubin, Benedict Gaster HSAIL is a new virtual byte code and virtual machine designed for parallel compute on heterogeneous devices. HSAIL makes it easy to compile high performance code both for current and future architectures. HSAIL programs will run unchanged on future hardware . Unlike AMDIL which is the graphics byte code, HSAIL has been architected to support modern high level programming languages such as Java and C++. Watch this presentation & other AFDS presentations. Note: access is free, but you'll need to register. |
Bolt: A C++ Template Library for HSABenjamin Sander In this talk, we describe a C++ template library optimized for Heterogeneous System Architecture. In many cases developers will be able to create a single source code base which runs efficiently on both the CPU and the GPU. We provide examples that show a dramatic reduction in lines of code. Finally, we show how the library allows developers to easily access the unique capabilities of HSA , including shared virtual memory, tight CPU and GPU communication, and advanced queuing capabilities.

We're excited about HSA. Here's why YOU can get excited too!
"The IP catalog they have available with the five founders is borderline staggering, and it will only get bigger. If the HSA Foundation hasn't gotten a critical mass of coder interest too, it will soon. From here, it looks like AMD did the right thing for the right reason, don't underestimate this one." – Charlie Demerjian, SemiAccurate
"We have much more the learn about the HSA Foundation and its direction for the industry but we can easily say that this is probably the most important processor company collaboration announcement in many years – and it does so without the 800 pound gorilla that is Intel in attendance." – Ryan Shrout, PC Perspective
"A group of Intel's enemies have banded together to come up with a better way to build more powerful computer chips. The members of this new club are AMD, ARM, Imagination, MediaTek and Texas Instruments and they call themselves the HSA Foundation. If they succeed, we could be treated to another big surge in computational power as soon as 2014, and for all sorts of devices, from smartphones through high-end servers, reports Engadget." – Julie Bort, Business Insider
"But AMD has followed up at this year's Fusion developer summit with the announcement of the formation of the Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) group, with some interesting founder members and some notable absentees. It is farsighted stuff and – in my view – the research people at AMD are rightly viewing systems from the top down and as they will be seen in three or four years' time, with hundreds and thousands of processing elements (PEs)." – Peter Clarke, EE Times
"Now, though, the company is trying to take the lead in creating a unified system of computing architecture. The Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) Foundation is a joint effort between AMD, ARM, Imagination Technologies, MediaTek, and Texas Instruments; its goal is to create a single system architecture that can work across platforms and make programming easier. AMD has had this idea for a while, but seeing other companies join it makes the HSA Foundation seem a great deal more feasible. It's also a sign of where AMD and other companies might be going." – Adi Robertson, The Verge
"The HSA Foundation is definitely for real and formed to make a real difference. The hardware is planned to be literally bent to fit the software, and that's unique. The founding members have a business and technical need, solving the problem means solving huge end user and business problems so there is demand, and the problem will be difficult to solve without many companies agreeing on an approach." – Patrick Moorhead, Moor Insights & Strategy, Analyst Blog, 6/15/12

Men Behaving Badly
A fund-raiser in 1913 brought out some unusual models.
- By: Joshua F. Moore
Perhaps it's best to keep the gentlemen away from the apron counter. If the expression on the face of the woman, just right of center, is any indication, that's what the ladies of the Dorcas Society in Hollis were probably thinking as this escapade unfolded at their annual fair back in 1913. The charitable group was named after Dorcas, the biblical figure who was raised from the dead and went on to sew coats and garments for the poor. The southern Maine chapter was formed in 1897 by Hollis resident Kate Douglas Wiggin, the author of such children's classics as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
Through annual performances (which continue to this day) of Wiggin's play The Old Peabody Pew and fund-raising events like the Dorcas Fair, shown here, the society has aided groups such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and local libraries and shelters. In recent years, Dorcas members have been responsible for maintaining the historic Parish House in Bar Mills, a former train station that Wiggin paid to have moved up the hill from its location near the Saco River.
During the Dorcas Society's early years, Wiggin held the fair at her home, "Quillcote," which is where Biddeford photographer Charles E. Moody snapped this hilarious shot.
He managed to capture some of the area's most notable residents — Charles B. Frothingham, at far left, was a physician and neighbor, and Frank Leavitt, at far right, was a decorated Civil War veteran who had held a variety of local and state positions. Moody has also included a glimpse of a Model T parked just under the curtain behind the men and, barely visible under Dr. Frothingham's arm at far left, the face of a young girl. The bonneted man at center who seems to be the biggest ham was James W. Meserve, whose wife was the president of the Dorcas Society at the time and may well be the somewhat horrified woman seated behind him.
Though Moody captured this scene nearly a century ago, selling aprons — and having a good time in the process — continues to be part of the Dorcas Society's activities.
"Aprons have always been one of the things we've sold at the fair," says Teivy Manuel, a Buxton resident and society member for many years. "I've made a couple that have been in there for a couple of years, but not too many people wear aprons anymore, so they've not been selling too well."
Perhaps she would be more successful if she, like her predecessors, employed three dapper models to advertise her wares.

Networks are an essential part of business, education, government, and home communications. Many residential, business, and mobile IP networking trends are being driven largely by a combination of video, social networking and advanced collaboration applications, termed "visual networking."
The Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) is the company's ongoing effort to forecast and analyze the growth and use of IP networks worldwide.
Cisco has developed the Cisco VNI Forecast to estimate future global IP traffic growth. Highlights of current forecast include the following projections:
- Global IP traffic will increase by a factor of four from 2009 to 2014, approaching 64 exabytes per month in 2014, compared to approximately 15 exabytes per month in 2009.
- By 2014, annual global IP traffic will reach almost three-fourths of a zettabyte (767 exabytes). A zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes.
- By 2014, the various forms of video (TV, VoD, Internet Video, and P2P) will exceed 91 percent of global consumer traffic.
- By 2014, global online video will approach 57 percent of consumer Internet traffic (up from 40 percent in 2010).
- Globally, mobile data traffic will double every year through 2014, increasing 39 times between 2009 and 2014.
Cisco VNI Pulse activities provide qualitative views of consumer network usage patterns and trends through direct data collection from surveys and free applications. Designed to provide consumers with individual and aggregate global data on usage trends and mobile network speeds, these applications include:
As bandwidth-intensive advanced services make network resources even more precious, enabling a better understanding of our network behavior will help save another valuable resource: your time.

By Sarah Thornton
Recently, a youth services coworker recommended a book entitled "Each Kindness'' by Newbery Medal-winning author Jacqueline Woodson.
It's a children's picture book, but the text and pictures hold a deep meaning and message for all ages.
And since World Kindness week is Nov. 13-20 (you knew that, right?), I want to share that message.
The story tells of Maya, a new kid in class.
Her classmates are nonresponsive to her greetings and smiles and even ignore her offerings to share a game or toy she brought to school.
One classmate, Chloe, gives her the nickname "Never New" because of her ragged hand-me-down and out-of-season clothing.
Alone on the playground and lunchroom, Maya continues to try to make a friend or share her kindness and friendship with someone . anyone.
That never happens as one day, Maya moves away.
The book ends with the children, especially Chloe, being taught that a missed opportunity of kindness is just that - missed. Being cruel and uncaring to others can leave us bitter and resentful.
As a matter of fact, being kind is healthy and contagious!
Research shows that being altruistic can have a positive impact on the heart and immune system and also work as an antidepressant.
In a recent 10-week study, people asked to keep a "kindness journal" were found to be 25 percent happier than those asked to keep a diary of their annoyances and problems.
Why not celebrate World Kindness Week by doing something as simple as writing a letter to someone who made a difference in your life?
Read to a child or the elderly. You might like to donate used clothing or give blood at a blood bank.
Sometimes simply encouraging someone who needs it or giving another person a hug will brighten someone's day and will most likely make your day a little brighter, as well.
At Hope Mills Branch Library we strive to be kind and caring whether we are advising you in your next great read, helping you learn how to download digital books to a device or simply by greeting your child by name when the story time door opens.
That kindness goes both ways - we often receive kind comments, greetings and gestures from our customers and that does make our jobs more rewarding.
We look forward to seeing and serving you soon.

It's been about two years since a red-headed whirlwind hit town, and the Sarasota Orchestra hasn't been the same since. Abraham Feder, the ensemble's new principal cellist, was still studying at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music, in Philadelphia, when he suddenly found himself with a first-chair position in our first-rate orchestra, so he packed his bags — and his cello case — and flew south to his new home. (He returned to play his graduate recital this year, so all's well at Curtis.)
Just a couple of weeks ago, "Big Red" (as he's sometimes called) joined with some musical pals from Curtis to play a pair of performances as part of the Curtis Sarasota Society series. We caught the first, a private performance, featuring Feder and violinist Ray Chen.
At this musicale, Feder began with a deep-throated, full-throttle rendering of the prelude from the Bach Suite No. 6 in D. Unaccompanied music is some of the most difficult to perform because the solo instrument plays not only the intricate melody but also the harmonies and, in the case of Bach, many complex contrapuntal phrases. Feder made his instrument, a 1785 Joseph Odoardi cello, sound like a Baroque orchestra.
Then Chen, the phenomenally talented Curtis alum who took first prize in the 2009 Queen Elizabeth Competition in Brussels (one of the most coveted awards in the music world), played an excerpt from Bach's A minor Sonata, No. 2, and then captured our ears and hearts with an astonishingly virtuosic performance of the Paganini Caprice No. 21 in A.
That was followed by the Kodaly Duo for violin and cello and, if that weren't enough, an encore of a wild and thrill-filled passacaglia that would have left Heifetz and Piatigorsky crying uncle.
It just shows what amazing young talent is being nurtured these days and how fortunate we are in Sarasota to have Feder as our principal cellist and how blessed he makes us all by bringing his Curtis friends to town.

Well president George H.
Bush is in intensive care at a Houston hospital battling a stubborn fever the former president has been sick for a few weeks now on November 7 he was admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston with a cough.
He was later released only to be readmitted on November 23.
By December 13 a hospital spokesman said the former president was improving.
And should be able to celebrate Christmas at home with his family.
But two days before Christmas.
Bush was moved to the intensive care unit at Methodist.
Due to that stubborn fever yesterday a spokesman saying the former president had a stubborn fever that won't go away.
So what are we to make up all of this doctor Bob -- heat.
Is the chairman of the department of medicine at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in New Jersey thank you for joining -- for having me.
So he's intensive care now since Sunday but it wasn't until late yesterday three days later that his spokesman came out.
And acknowledge this to the public what do what do you make of that.
Well it is somewhat worrisome as I mentioned yesterday he's eighty years old.
He has a number of problems and all we know is that on November the third when he was admitted he had something called -- -- bronchitis.
Trachea bronchitis is really an inflammation.
Of the tubes that go into the lungs both small and large.
And it was apparently a viral infection so what they did was they treated him.
With steroids.
-- -- a standard procedure and -- they treated him with other things.
Other medications like antibiotics in the in the hope that they would prevent a bacterial super infection.
Well it may be that the bacterial super infection has happened and that's the big concern because what happens when you run a fever especially a high fever.
After being on steroids in being treated for trachea bronchitis.
That means that you could have a blood infection and this is the big concern because somebody who's he has a tough time.
Battling an infection that's bacterial the blood can be infected and a number of other things.
Yeah -- -- the spokesperson Jim McGrath said that keep the fever is just not responding to any of the things that they have tried so far he did say.
But the president is awake he's alert he's joking with doctors.
But he went on to say.
You know and they don't put you in intensive care because you're doing well.
True enough they said he was gonna be home by Christmas so things obviously not going according to -- -- well he is the president of the United States the former president so a little care on our side would be good there and that's I think why he's in the icu.
The intensive care unit for the average patient that is an elderly patient that runs a temperature like this he would be observed.
Of course an elderly patient runs the risk of dehydration.
So I'm sure he's getting a lot of fluid and he's getting anti bacterial antibiotics remember the first infection was a virus.
This may well have become a bacterial infection.
And there's somewhat difficult to treat we know that the president's had other health problems over his life.
He is confined to a wheelchair now because of some neurological issues.
I'm concerned about that I'm concerned about the fact that he may be developing a pneumonia and that is what everybody's really worried about.
Right now what we need to stress though that really what we're doing here is that speculating the hospital.
Very respectful of the former president's privacy they really haven't said much at all about his condition the only word that we have.
On this latest step moved to intensive care is from the president's own spokesperson Jim McGrath.
And he didn't say all that much she -- stubborn fever he said the doctors are cautiously optimistic.
Do you expect these doctors or the hospital to come out with anything more specific for us.
I think it's really up to the family I think the bush family has been very.
Has kept facts very close to the -- this is appropriate I think after all he is an 88 year old man we don't want to over speculate we don't want to start hanging -- All over the place so worried about the president but we are in fact this suddenly worried about his health especially since he is in the icu.
And he is not responding.
Two Tylenol and other means of lowering his temperature.
He has again been on steroids for this trachea bronchitis that is worrisome because as you know -- steroids.
Do sort of at continuing the immune system he's 88 so he's immune system is already attenuated because of his age.
So we have a guy who may be super infected with maybe what was or is now developing to be -- community acquired pneumonia.
And he could be ceding his blood they were all kinds of things we can speculate about the doctors are all concerned about that I'm sure they're taking appropriate actions.
And I think the fact that he's in the icu in guarded condition.
Shouldn't make us -- Inappropriately but we should be very cautious and and that's what they're saying cautious optimism.
Right that's what I have -- -- chairman of the department of medicine at Newark Beth Israel hospital thank you once again thank Pete has me Greg.

Wetherspoons will create up to 40 jobs in Selby
8:48am Monday 23rd April 2012 in Jobs News By Dan Bean , email@example.com
PUB giant JD Wetherspoon has been given the go-ahead for a £1 million plan to open its first outlet in Selby.
Selby District Council has granted planning permission for the company to convert the former Everatts furniture store in Gowthorpe, which closed in October after 75 years.
The company has said the scheme could create up to 40 jobs.
Work can start right away, but following complaints from a number of residents living in nearby Milton Place, who claimed the new pub would turn the area into "Blackpool Illuminations", a number of restrictions have been put in place.
When agreeing to the plans, the council stated any delivery and the loading or unloading of goods must take place after 8am and no later than 6pm on weekdays, and between 8am and 1pm on Saturdays, with no deliveries on Sundays or bank holidays "in the interests of protecting the residential amenity of neighbouring properties".
Use of the beer garden, which will be created to the rear of the pub, has also been restricted to no earlier than 11am and no later than 9pm on Monday to Saturdays for the same reason. A letter from the council granting the application, stated "The proposal is considered to preserve the character of the conservation area and would bring a heritage asset back in to use."
The pub could open as early as 7am every day and close as late as 1.30am on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Star Trek
Director : J.J. Abrams
Screenplay : Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman (based on the television series created by Gene Roddenberry)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2009
Stars : Chris Pine (James T. Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Leonard Nimoy (Spock Prime), Eric Bana (Nero), Bruce Greenwood (Capt. Christopher Pike), Karl Urban (Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy), Zoë Saldana (Nyota Uhura), Simon Pegg (Scotty), John Cho (Hikaru Sulu), Anton Yelchin (Pavel Chekov), Ben Cross (Sarek), Winona Ryder (Amanda Grayson), Chris Hemsworth (George Kirk), Jennifer Morrison (Winona Kirk), Rachel Nichols (Gaila), Faran Tahir (Captain Robau)
J.J. Abrams's ambitious reinvention of the more than 40-year-old science fiction flagship Star Trek, which hasn't boldly gone across a silver screen since 2002's dark and poorly received Star Trek: Nemesis, works in just about every way you could hope. Against the odds, Abrams and the screenwriting team of Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have successfully crafted a new beginning that both honors the series' previous incarnations but also charts its own course using a clever time-traveling narrative that essentially creates an alternate Trek universe and frees up future writers from having to adhere to every detail of the established canon. While Trekkies lap up all the pointed references to the television series and previous movies (from the Kobayashi Maru simulation, to the name of the captain in the original pilot episode), those who don't know a Romulan from a Klingon will find much to enjoy in the slam-bang slickness of the thrills and the relatable emotional conflicts that form the story's core.
Bringing Gene Roddenberry's visionary series back to life after many had written it off as destined for the pop-culture dustbin is not exactly a new trick. Robert Wise did it in 1979 with Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which reworked the small-scale, low-budget aesthetics of the long-cancelled '60s television series into something grandiose and elegant (and slightly boring), which then kicked off nearly three decades worth of new Trek adventures, including nine more movies and a handful of new television shows. The question becomes, how to reinvent it yet again for a new generation of both Trek fanatics and kids who only know of William Shatner as that puffy guy on the Priceline commercials? Abrams's answer is to go back to the beginning: Reintroduce the characters of the original series and follow the paths by which they all wind up together on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.
The film begins with the birth of the venerable James Tiberius Kirk during a deep-space battle between a Federation ship commanded by his brave father (Chris Hemsworth) and a massive Romulan vessel from the future that is piloted by the vengeful Captain Nero (Eric Bana). We then see Kirk as a rebellious child in Iowa who grows up to be a rebellious young man (now played by Chris Pine) who enrolls in Starfleet Academy at the behest of Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), who knew Kirk's father and recognizes in the son great potential that is currently going to waste. Kirk is also lured by his attraction to the Uhura (Zoë Saldana), a communications officer-in-training who ends up having a surprising and completely unexpected attraction of her own.
Meanwhile, we are introduced to the young Spock, who is half-human and half-Vulcan, an element that has always been important to the series, but here becomes a genuine cornerstone, giving the character an emotional depth and sense of conflict that we haven't always seen. As embodied as a young man by Zachary Quinto (whose physical similarity to Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock, is uncanny), the character has a great deal more repressed anger and resentment than is usually assumed, which we see most clearly when he essentially rejects his Vulcan culture to work at the Starfleet Academy. Moreso than ever, it is clear that Spock has an ego, that most telling of human qualities.
The crux of the plot involves the young crew taking out the newly built U.S.S. Enterprise and battling Captain Nero, whose plan is nothing less than destroying the Federation by blowing up all Federation planets (starting with Vulcan), which he accomplishes by drilling a hole to the planet's core and dropping in "red matter" that causes the planet to collapse into a black hole. For those who know the original show and subsequent movies well, there is real pleasure in watching younger incarnations of familiar characters finding their roles and also slipping into what will become well-worn patterns of interaction. Karl Urban's Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy is as gruff and irascible as ever, although the film has fun with the idea that he first likes Spock before realizing that Spock's insistence on logic is completely counter to his highly emotional humanism. As Sulu, John Cho is given an exhilarating action scene, something that George Takei rarely enjoyed, and Anton Yelchin plays the young Pavel Chekov as a teenager well ahead of his years, whose main flaw is his inability to pronounce the letter V. The last piece of the puzzle comes together with the addition of Scotty, who is given a deliciously comic edge by Shaun of the Dead's Simon Pegg. Each of these actors plays off the familiar mannerisms of the original cast while also making the characters their own, with the most delicious being Chris Pine's subtly becoming more Shatner-like as he moves closer to being in command of the Enterprise.
If this new-fangled Star Trek has a flaw, it is that the necessity of tracing the origins of all the characters forces the film into what is essentially a feature-length set-up for future installments. Abrams and company clearly want to stay true to Roddenberry's liberal optimistic vision of the original television show, but they are so busy putting all the pieces in order that there is little time for a narrative that is more philosophical or compelling than standard-issue action/adventure; it is a true warhorse, indeed. The best episodes of the original television show hinged on issues that were less about the future than about the Cold War-obsessed, socially conflicted here and now. There is little of that to be found in this reboot, mainly because the filmmakers are too busy plotting the characters and making the most of their vast arsenal of digital effects. To be fair, it is probably best to view Star Trek as a character-driven narrative, particularly in the way it traces the development of the central relationship between Kirk and Spock, two men of such opposite polarities that it was a given they would hate each before becoming best friends. That work having now been accomplished, the universe is basically wide open for the inevitable follow-ups, which should live long and prosper.

Truly magnificent from izzy, 09/02/13
Donny & Marie put on a brilliant show for all their fans. From start to finish, they captured the audience. Marie not only has a fantastic voice but has a great sense of humour too.. So funny when she took a male member of the audience up onto the stage and got him to sing Crazy for you. Donny looked as handsome as ever, couldnt take my eyes off him for a minute. The songs they sang took many of us back to our teenage years, very nostalgic! They also sang a few songs from their hit album. Even my 17year old was singing away at most of the songs. Donny was such a gentleman when he escorted Susan Boyle onto the stage to sing This is my moment with her. Was lovely watching Donny sing Love me for a reason along with a video of his brothers as they are now, singing alongside. Very touching to watch! Donny sang Crazy Horses and danced around the stage with so much energy. His dancing was amazing, as was when he was singing Soldier of Love. Donny & Marie sang beautifully together (as always!). They sang many of the old songs from the 70s such as Morning side of the mountain, Make the world go away, & Im leaving it all up to you. Absolutely fantastic! Loved it when they both came down into the audience. I was 3rd row from the front so had a great view. They both had a lot of costume changes but still managed to always have one of them on stage while the other got changed. Sometimes they even managed to change while on stage. The only part of the show I didnt enjoy was when they both sang Goodnight Everybody because I knew that was it, all the months of waiting was now over and it was once again time for them to leave the stage. Just wish they had came back on for an encore! That would have finished the evening off beautifully.

I just received these chairs today (three days earlier than the expected delievery.) The boxes were not that heavy and the chair parts were easy to lift/maneuver too. There are nine bolts that all get tightened by a provided wrench and I had a difficult time tightening them well; my husband went over them all later. When you attach the front legs, they fit in two ways! If you've done it correctly, the front of the leg is flush with the front of the chair. The chairs are beautiful, sturdy, and comfortable. We have them in a little "conversation area" of the great room, but they can easily be picked up and moved to the TV area. The armless construction lets me wedge it into a tight area between a couch and window if needed. I have none of the crinkle noises that another poster mentioned. These are well worth the $$$! I've seen/sat in ones just like these for $400-$500 and there is no discernable difference!
Needed an accent chair for my bedroom and this was perfect! It was VERY easy to put together and the quality is very good. I love the simple lines of the chair and it looks perfect in my room. Saw the exact same chair at HomeGoods for $150.
Good price, strong chair, soft fabric, easy to assemble. Just a warning, I got the brushed basil chair, which looks almost beige on the site, but when it came in, it was a very light green color. This actually worked out perfectly for me as I was looking for a green chair, but settled on beige as the next best thing, but I can see someone being dissatisfied if green isn't his/her first choice. Other than that, it's a solid chair. Took off a star for the inaccurate color on the website picture.
I was very excited about how quickly this product was delivered! The assembly was easy and all parts were included. The color is great! The material is like a faux suede. In terms of comfort, the chair is a bit hard and makes a crinkling sound when I get up from the chair. It is a great decorative piece, which is mainly what I am using it for in my extra sitting room in the master bedroom. Not practical for a lot of sitting, mainly because of the crinkle sound when you get up, which would be embarrassing if you had guests sit on it and it made that sound. Overall, it looks great and since I will not be sitting in it that often, it serves its decorative purpose!
Fabulous accent chair! I got the chocolate and the color is fabulous. I love it.
Delivered fast, a little low but they work beautifully in our master bedroom. They are a rich brown and very comfortable.
The chair arrived quickly and was easy to assemble with the exception of us trying to screw the legs in the wrong way. But, once we figured it out, it was a breeze. The brown color is rich, the fabric soft and plush and the chair is very sturdy. I love it! PS: If you are not used to reading assembly instructions with no words (only pictures), you might get a bit confused. However, it is not hard to figure out.
I ordered these in the green the gray and the brown. Oh, my...the feel of the chairs is wonderful and so well made. The green is more of a jade color and the gray is definitely a steel gray and the brown is just beautiful. I love them all. I purchased two of each for my office (I am a physician) and they will be in the exam rooms for the wonderful patients. I think they are going to love the comfort and beauty of them. The chairs were a little slow to ship compared to usual but well worth the wait. The packaging is excellent, easy to assembly. Highly recommend
Light weight chair. Its exactly what I needed for my bedroom. I put it together in less than half and hour.

New opportunity for an FM license
CBI's second annual National Student Electronic Media Convention draws more than 400 students and pros to San Antonio
More than 400 students college faculty and staff members, and media professionals joined College Broadcasters, Inc. for the second annual National Student Electronic Media Convention. Over three days, and more than 90 educational and networking sessions and events, students learned valuable skills and techniques to take back to their college broadcasting organizations at colleges and universities across the country. Attendance saw a near 20 percent increase in paid registrations since last year. Student, faculty and staff attendees each benefited from panels and sessions designed especially for them, as well as general sessions on broadcasting which were designed with everyone in mind.
"The NSEMC was a huge success. We are confident that all of our attendees had a fun and educational experience, and left San Antonio energized and equipped to improve their student media outlets," said CBI President Greg Weston.
Saturday's Keynote speaker Dean McFlicker, Vice President and Creative Director for NBC Entertainment Marketing, captivated the members with his presentation "Secrets to Career Success: How to Market Yourself in an Increasingly Broadcast Savvy Multi-media World." The audience responded warmly and eagerly to his insider's view on how to advance your career opportunities in the 21st century media environment.
CBI also presented the annual Student Production Awards on Saturday, honoring the best student work in video, television and radio production in 24 categories. Judges honored four finalists and one winner in each category from more than 700 entries. A complete list of winners, and clips of their winning work, is available on the CBI San Antonio website.
The 2014 National Student Electronic Media Convention will be held at the Renaissance Seattle hotel, October 23-25, 2014 in Seattle. For more information as it develops, follow our Twitter @askcbi and visit askcbi.org/seattle for more details to plan the trip to the west coast next fall.

Appellate Court Rules on Webcasting Appeal
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (court) has made a ruling in the case of Intercollegiate Broadcasting System, Inc. (IBS) v. Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) and the Library of Congress (LOC). CBI made an appearance in this proceeding in order to comment upon the validity of its settlement with SoundExchange which was adopted by the CRB. CBI also reached a settlement under the Webcaster Act of 2009. The later is not impacted by this ruling.

Instructions for OwnersDefinition of an abandoned vehicle The legal definition of "abandoned vehicle" has a slightly different meaning than what is generally understood. According to state statute, the term abandoned vehicle applies not only to the "junkers" that are dumped on the roadside, but vehicles on private or public property that have been towed away either by request of the property owner or because the vehicle was parked or left in violation of a law. A vehicle may be considered abandoned when it is:
Also, a vehicle removed under the following conditions is considered abandoned if not redeemed by the owner within seven days:
A vehicle removed under the following conditions is considered abandoned if not redeemed by the owner within 20 days from the date of release by the law enforcement agency:
<< Back to top Search for an abandoned vehicle When an abandoned vehicle is taken into custody, the vehicle owner and any secured party (most often a lending institution) are notified by mail of the vehicle's status and location. To claim an abandoned vehicle, as the owner you must:
If you do not redeem the vehicle or request a hearing within 20 days, the secured party may obtain release of the vehicle by paying the towing, storage and abandoned vehicle fee. If you or the secured party do not redeem the vehicle, it may be sold at public auction, and you lose all rights to the vehicle. Public notice will be published at least five days before the sale in a newspaper within the county where the vehicle was abandoned. << Back to top Search for an abandoned vehicle To contest the status or towing and storage fees of an abandoned vehicle You may challenge whether your vehicle was properly deemed abandoned or the reasonableness of the towing and storage fees by filing a petition with the court having jurisdiction over the location from which the vehicle was removed. A petition can be filed with the appropriate court either by mail or in person and must be filed within 20 days from the date you first received notice in the mail. A copy of the petition is included with the notice or may be obtained by completing a PETITION REGARDING IMPOUNDMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE OR SEIZURE OF MOTORCYCLE (DC-90) form. To reclaim the vehicle, you must either post a bond equal to the accrued towing and storage fees and $40 abandoned vehicle fee. If the court finds the vehicle was improperly deemed abandoned or removed, you will be reimbursed for your fees and your vehicle will be released. << Back to top Search for an abandoned vehicle Penalties for abandoning a vehicle Owners who abandon a vehicle risk fines and penalties. Michigan law (MCL 257.252a) states: "A person shall not abandon a vehicle in this state. It is presumed that the last titled owner of the vehicle is responsible for abandoning the vehicle unless the person provides a record of sale as that term is defined in section 240. A person who violates this subsection and who fails to redeem the vehicle before disposition of the vehicle under section 252g is responsible for a civil infraction and shall be ordered to pay a civil fine of $50" (plus costs, state assessments, and other statutory penalties). To protect yourself, you must do one of the following, when you sell or transfer ownership of a vehicle:
If you fail to maintain proper records of the sale, you are subject to the following penalties if a subsequent owner abandons the vehicle:
Abandoning a vehicle is considered "littering" Anyone who abandons a vehicle may be found responsible for littering in violation of the Natural Resources Environmental Protection Act. "Littering" when used for abandoned vehicles is a state civil infraction and carries fines from $500 to $2,500 plus costs, state assessments and other statutory penalties. The penalty for abandoning a second vehicle is a civil fine from $1,000 to $5,000 plus costs, state assessments and other statutory penalties (MCL 324.8905a(4)). << Back to top Search for an abandoned vehicle The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a vehicle. Most vehicles have a 17 character VIN containing both letters and numbers (ex. 1FMEU19H9SLA23318). The VIN can be found on the vehicle's title, registration or certificate of insurance. The VIN may also be on your purchase records, warranty information, the window sticker, etc. Your insurance company may also have the VIN. << Back to top Search for an abandoned vehicle

Supermodel-turned-TV titan TYRA BANKS is turning her attentions to scripted drama after selling a show based on her early life to a major network.
The catwalk beauty moved from the runway to the small screen when she created America's Next Top Model in 2003, which has proved a huge success and has run for 19 seasons.
Banks has also hosted her own talk show, but now she is moving into fiction after penning a script inspired by her teenage years and her rise from schoolgirl to the fashion elite.
The show, called Fivehead, has been picked up by bosses at America's ABC channel.

New York Law Would Enroll All Residents as Organ Donors
Living in New York has long cost an arm and a leg. Now dying there may cost a kidney and a heart. Under a proposed law, all state residents would automatically be enrolled as organ donors — without their consent.
N.Y. Governorship Scandal Hits Again: Paterson Will Not Run
Damaged by scandal like his predecessor, New York's Governor David Paterson has announced that he is withdrawing his bid to win election this November.
Most See Government as Threat to Rights
Ronald Reagan once said that the nine scariest words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." In thus opining, he was simply reflecting an American tradition that began with the Founding Fathers: a healthy suspicion of government.
High Crimes: White House Accused of Using Bribery to Preserve Senate Majority
Has a bombshell just been dropped in the November elections? If a story that broke on Thursday gets enough ink, the answer may be yes.
It's being reported that the White House has sought to entice Senate primary challengers into dropping their campaigns against incumbent Democrats with the offer of plum government appointments — a jailable offense.
Will Politically Incorrect Opinion Become a Hate Crime?
Many of us have heard about Geert Wilders, the Dutch parliamentarian currently on trial in Holland because he criticized Islam. It's shocking to many that you could be charged with a hate crime for expressing an opinion, but such prosecutions are not unheard of in the Western world beyond American shores. After all, most nations have nothing tantamount to our First Amendment. But could such a thing happen in the land of the (mostly) free as well?
Obama Reacts to House Prohibition of Abortion Funding
In a legislative clash that pitted Democrats against their fellows, the House voted Saturday to pass the Stupak Amendment. Sponsored by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), Brad Ellsworth, (D-Ind.) and Joe Pitts, (R-Pa.), the measure prohibits federal money from being used to fund abortion through the Democrats' 1,990-page healthcare plan.
Obama: Beyond the Idea of an Icon
There has long been a certain objection to the divine command that we should worship God. It is simply: Why does God need you to worship Him? It is, really, an eminently fair question, and it has an eminently logical answer: God doesn't need you to worship Him. You need to worship Him.
Resurrecting the Right-wing Militia Bogeyman
The Southern Poverty Law Center is up to its old tricks, demonizing conservatives and playing the race card for profit.
Obama Regulatory Pick's Pro-animal Rights and Anti-First Amendment Activism
It's not surprising that Harvard man Barack Obama wouldn't share late writer William F. Buckley's sentiment that "I would rather be governed by 400 people out of the phone book than the whole faculty of Harvard." In fact, although he won't manage to fill the Congress with the staff of his alma mater, he certainly is making sure his administration is replete with its members.
Krauthammer Favors "Path to Citizenship" for Illegals
Perhaps Charles Krauthammer has lunched one too many times with Linda Chavez, but he's starting to sound more like Harry Reid than the conservative standard bearer he's reputed to be. On the O'Reilly Factor this on May 4, he supported a "path to citizenship" for illegals, otherwise known as amnesty.

With just over a month until the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011 is enforced, it was high time that an organisation with the weight to set a precedent got off the fence and took a serious position on the matter.
Who better than the UK's Government Digital Service?
I'm not sure I expected the UK government to be the one to lead the charge on cookie law compliance, and I'm certain I didn't expect them to be the ones to argue that web analytics are "essential", but that's exactly what they've done with their snappily titled Implementer Guide to Privacy & Electronic Communications Regulations (PECRs) for public sector websites.
So does it stand up to scrutiny? And more pressingly, does it get the rest of us out of a potentially difficult situation?

You're probably aware that almost every website you visit tracks your behaviour in one way or another.

While most digital marketers are making at least some preparations for the implementations of the EU's e-Privacy Directive, the vast majority see it as a negative step for the web.
Econsultancy has surveyed more than 700 marketers for their opinions on the EU cookie laws, and to find out what preparations have been made for the May 26 deadline.
We have published the full results of our EU e-Privacy Directive Survey for you to download, but here are some of the highlights from the study.
by Graham Charlton 14 March 2012 06:39am 48 comments
We've covered the impending EU 'cookie law' a number of times on this blog, but we've yet to see many practical examples of implementation.
There are exceptions, such as the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) website, which has to set an example (though even this isn't enough to comply), but most are being kept under wraps.
This is because online businesses are not going to add any interruptive messaging to their sites until the last possible moment, and perhaps not before they've seen what their rivals are doing about it.
I've been speaking to 4Ps Marketing CTO Matt Stannard, who has kindly provided these mock ups of how some popular sites could choose to comply with the EU directive.
(UPDATE, 18 April 2012: Our new report, The EU Cookie Law: A Guide to Compliance, explains the legislation as far as it affects UK online businesses, sets out some practical steps that you can take towards compliance, and includes examples of how websites can gain users' consent for setting cookies. Do check it out.)

Google is reportedly one of a number of advertisers that have been bypassing Apple's privacy settings to track the browsing habits of Safari users.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), code placed in display ads installed cookies in internet browsers without the user's permission.

Meriel Lenfestey is Director at Foolproof, and is currently working with financial clients on compliance with the EU cookie laws.
The EU cookie laws, and the potential effect they can have on online businesses, represents a major challenge. So how can they comply without harming the user experience and damaging their revenues?
I've been asking Meriel about what websites should be doing to prepare for the implementation of the cookie law, and how this will affect the user experience.
by Graham Charlton 15 February 2012 13:22pm 3 comments
I've been on record a number of times saying that I think the EC Directives relating to cookies are fundamentally flawed. We could make a parallel with the current UK/EU Euro 'situation' but let's not go there. In the UK the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has a duty to enforce these directives and, as they say, "This isn't going away. It's the law."
Yesterday the ICO released its updated guidance for UK website owners. You can download the PDF from the link in the news release.
Given the tough task of interpretation, guidance and enforcement that is the ICO's duty, I have to say that I think this document is a valiant and comprehensive effort given the task and I'd commend them for this. I would urge you to read it for the full details. It is clearly written and quite practical.
Below are some of my initial thoughts on reading this latest guidance.
by Ashley Friedlein 14 December 2011 13:17pm 26 comments
Manley is SEO Director at LBi, and he has been working with clients recently, preparing for the full implementation of the EU cookie directive.
This directive (here's the pdf if you have a few hours spare) was introduced in the name of privacy, but has serious implications for online businesses.
I've been asking Manley about what the directive will mean in practice for online businesses, and what they should be doing to prepare themselves...

Although businesses have an extra year to chew on it, barring a miracle, they'll eventually have to figure out what the updates to Regulation 6 of the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 mean and how to make sure they're adhered to.
Those updates, of course, require that users provide "consent" for the placement of a cookie on their machines.

In May 2000, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a number of guidelines designed to help companies stay in compliance with numerous consumer protection laws as they increased their presence on the then-nascent commercial internet.
The FTC's Dot Com Disclosures (PDF) document largely explained how existing laws around advertising and disclosure applied in the context of the internet, and provided some specific examples.

Shirin Taber takes us from fears and false stereotypes and shows us a unique perspective of how North American Muslims live and think. The reader will uncover myths, learn to create friendships with Muslim, neighbors and relationally show them Christ.
ePub, Reflowable$6.99
This insider's view of how North American Muslims think and live goes beyond false stereotypes and provides practical suggestions on how to establish friendships that can point to Christ. Since September 11, 2001, Americans are more curious about the followers of Islam. We can no longer afford to be ignorant of such an influential and historical world religion. Muslims Next Door dispels commonly held myths and helps readers to better understand how Muslims think. Author Shirin Taber comes from a multicultural background and has lived in Iran, France, and Turkey, and now in the United States. Stories of her experiences as well as from interviews with Muslims help readers understand the human side of Islam. Each chapter contains questions for reflection to use in group settings.
