About 2.5 months ago I started my own business. Orsus Incorporated, is an Internet based referral marketing business. What is referral marketing? Think Amazon.com. Basically I get paid a bonus to refer traffic to my site and buy products produced by others. The nice thing about this model is there is no inventory to maintain or ship out. All that is taken care of for me.
I started this business for two reasons. First, I really liked the products available. My favorite thus far is the XS energy drinks. XS is a no sugar, no carb and only 8 calorie energy drink that gives you all the energy but with out the jittery feelings or crashes of energy drinks such as Red Bull©. And unlike all other energy drinks, XS is available in 12 different flavors (3 of which are also available caffeine free for those sensitive to caffeine). These are great when you need a pick me up during the day.
When telling people about these drinks, the first thing they notice is that each can contains 4900% of your RDA of B12. Some people say that this can't be good for you, it must have serious side effects to have THAT much B12, they are wrong. I was told by several nurses of over 20 years that you pee the bee's. E.g. any B vitamins your body doesn't absorb, your body gets rid of. The same goes for vitamin C.
Another great product available is Double X vitamins. These vitamins provide energy all day, guaranteed. They are endorsed by the fastest man in the world, Asafa Powell, who currently holds the world record in the 100m dash. After I started taking them, I noticed a boost in my energy levels and increased focus in the afternoon when I usually have a harder time focusing on my given task.
One thing that makes these vitamins better than your average multi-vitamin is how quickly they dissolve. I placed one dose of Double X and a dose of another daily multi-vitamin in a class of vinegar (which closely resembles your stomachs acids). The Double X dissolved completely in under 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the other daily multi-vitamin still hadn't fully dissolved.
The second reason I started this business was to make money and enjoy the tax benefits of having my own business. Thus far, I've grown my business big enough that it is now supporting itself, e.g. website maintenance and promotional material are paid for by profits from selling products to customers. My goal is to grow this business large enough that if I decided I no longer wanted to design and build software, I wouldn't have to.
What else can you purchase through my business? When I'm asked that question in person my response is always, everything but alcohol, tobacco and firearms. In addition to energy drinks and a very large variety of vitamins and supplements, you can also purchase cosmetics and skin care products, home care products and normal food items such as cereal or coffee. We also have a weight loss program for those looking to shed a few pounds.
If you're interested in more information on the products or your looking to try some really great products, please visit Orsus Incorporated.
The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do
not represent my employer's view in anyway.

let's talk about culture
Culture is such an interesting thing. A recent conversation indicating I had gained weight on our trip to the states was a clear reminder of how culture plays into our daily life. I'm learning to use humor instead of letting offenses rise up. It really is quite comical when you step back and look at it. Read more about understanding culture over at Petit Elefant.

The Twilight cast had good reason to be looking pretty happy with themselves at the Berlin premiere of the latest vampire flick.
Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has made £214 million ($340.9 million) worldwide in its opening weekend, placing it in the top ten list of openings alongside other Twilight films New Moon and Breaking Dawn – Part 1.
Whilst it fell slightly short of the record held by the second film New Moon, the movie still ranked as the eighth biggest grossing domestic film debut of all time.
Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson posed together in Germany for the final leg of the European tour.
Kristen sported another stunning look, showing off her figure in a gold maxi dress and black heels.

First of all just play until you know the maps, don't worry about your K/D just learn the maps, follow a couple of high level players around to see what they do, learn all the nooks and crannies of the maps best areas for capping flags, best short cuts to the next objectives.
If you run like Leeroy Jenkins everywhere you'll get nowhere you really have to be careful.
There are the four different classes as you know each of the weapons are different even under the same class so get yourself on
to have a look at the guns for each class, some have a high RoF but higher recoil and others lower with less recoil there are other aspects but these are the main one you'll want to consider.
As you play with each class you'll unlock new guns and gadgets as you play with certain guns the more kills you get the more attachments you'll unlock like scopes and suppressors as you level up however you'll unlock PDWs and shotguns that can be used on any of the classes unlike say snipers which are recon only.
Then there are vehicles, as you earn points in a vehicle you'll unlock new perks for that vehicle you'll want to try everything out because it can be fun but watch out for anti-tank mines, C4, or anti-tank soldiers if your in an MBT or IVF. If you are in the air well it takes a lot of practise, try the basics first in the comfort of your base if you can and then fly out and try to take some people on be warned you'll get your ass handed to you in the air.
Check this out on a guide for jets -

And this for a guide for choppers -
BF3 101: Chopper Pilot Badass School with Wrath (Battlefield 3 Gameplay/Commentary) - YouTube
BF3 101: Chopper Pilot Badass School with Wrath (Battlefield 3 Gameplay/Commentary) - YouTube
I'm leaving out the basics because you can really pick up the basic flying pretty easy but things like killing lock can be really difficult which is where the videos help when it comes to one-on-ones.
Little things like firing off one heat-seeker to draw out an enemy pilots flairs and then firing another to score a hit is a nifty trick instead of firing both your rockets off as soon as you have lock but you'll pick it up as you get a hand for the game.
Soon you'll learn more advanced tricks like hitting the buildings in Bazaar with an RPG to knock rubble down onto the enemy to kill them, but for now just play to get a feel for the game it'll take you 20 hours until you're 100% with all the maps, remember don't stick to one map play them all.
Good luck, and remember you can always join the

Good hunting.

When I saw this baked tofu recipe pop up on The Kitchn's Facebook feed last week, I ran downstairs to put tofu on my grocery list. I'd recently made a divine coconut peanut sauce inspired by a simple recipe I found on the Thai cooking blog, SheSimmers, and was looking for things to show it off on. And baked tofu squares certainly fit the bill…
I started by unwrapping the tofu and placing it under pressure (in this case, a cutting board topped with a small dutch oven to provide some serious heft) to drain.
While the tofu drained, I whipped up a simple marinade – soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, sesame oil and a little bit of organic apricot jam for sweetness.
Twenty minutes later, my tofu had shed some water weight and was ready for cubing. I used firm tofu which is very easy to cut (soft tofu is more prone to crumbling or tearing.)
I placed the squares in the marinade and left them to soak up the sesame soy goodness for about half an hour. Then I dropped the marinated squares onto a heavy baking sheet and popped them into the oven.
Thirty-five minutes later, a tray full of delightfully chewy, flavorful tofu squares was giving me a "come hither" look I found myself powerless to resist.
I served them with the coconut peanut sauce, brown rice and baked yams and 'twas mighty tasty.
Next: the recipe

After wearing your mouth guard

 After wearing your mouth guard, you should clean it with cool water and use your toothbrush and toothpaste to eliminate bacteria that may develop during usage. Rinse your mouth guard and place it in a container to keep it until the next practice or game at room temperature. Be sure to visit your dental professional for regular dental appointments and to discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding mouth guard usage in sports.matériel dentaire
 It is critical to follow up with your dentist 7 to 10 days later. If the tooth's nerve or blood vessels were damaged, your dentist may want to do root canal treatment. This keeps the tooth from becoming discolored or developing an abscess, which is an infection. Your dentist will test in the next weeks and months to see whether the nerve was damaged. These tests are not always reliable right after a tooth is injured.joypex 5
 If the dentist decides that root canal treatment is needed, you may need to have the tooth crowned (capped) after the root canal. In some cases, it may not be possible to save the tooth. In this case, it will have to be removed. Your dentist will decide the best way to restore the space created by the missing tooth.localisateur d'apex
 "In general, I tell parents that kids who eat many times a day are at higher risk of tooth decay," says Steiner. "By the way, it's the kids who have access to sippy cups or snacks all the time that are at high risk for tooth decay. It's that kind of chronic exposure that causes [cavities.]"
 And that's why Halloween is a problem with the dental profession. Some children will hoard their favorite candies and eat them a little bit at a time over a long long period of time.

Last week, Minnesota's legislature passed, and Gov. Mark Dayton (D) signed, the country's first ban of triclosan in most retail products. What's triclosan? The active ingredient in about 75 percent of antibacterial soaps and body washes in the U.S. It's also in dish and laundry detergent, and even some toothpastes. The ban doesn't take effect until 2017, but state Sen. John Marty (D), one of the bill's lead sponsors, said Monday he expects the chemical to be phased out before then.
So what's wrong with triclosan? "Studies have raised concerns that it can disrupt hormones critical for reproduction and development, at least in lab animals, and contribute to the development of resistant bacteria," explains The Associated Press' Steve Karnowski. On top of that, there's no evidence that it gets our hands any cleaner. Still, Americans don't like being told they can't buy something — remember the flap over incandescent light bulb regulations? — and triclosan is produced in somebody's congressional district.
Once this ban starts spreading to other states, some group or lawmaker is going to call foul. It's practically the American way. Here's a better idea: Take a few seconds to learn how to properly wash your hands with regular soap. Peter Weber
Facebook will be adding some flexibility to how users choose to "like" a post — but it won't be a "dislike" button, as some people have speculated. Instead, Facebook is testing emoji "reactions," where users can pick emotions such as "sad," "haha," "love," and "wow" to express how they feel about a post. "As you can see, it's not a "dislike" button, though we hope it addresses the spirit of this request more broadly," Facebook's Chief Product Officer Chris Cox wrote in a post introducing the feature.

It's still a bit of a mystery what happened behind closed doors on Thursday when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) unexpectedly decided to drop out of the race for speaker of the House. Though details are scarce, McCarthy elaborated in a tweet:
We're public servants. I have always put this Conference and Country ahead of myself. We need to unite behind one leader and get to work.
— Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) October 8, 2015
McCarthy also held a short news conference, part of which you can watch below. Jeva Lange
I "feel good about the decision" to drop out of the race for House speaker, says Rep. Kevin McCarthy http://t.co/5Q4hZzI9jC - @CBSNLive
— CBS News (@CBSNews) October 8, 2015
Conservatives are buzzing that Kevin McCarthy dropped his speakership bid because he was allegedly having an affair
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday shocked the political world by suddenly dropping his bid to replace John Boehner (R-Ohio) as speaker, with the initial speculation focusing on his inability to win the support of hard-core conservatives who for years have made life miserable for the House Republican leadership.
But could there be another reason McCarthy dropped out?
Conservatives, like Erick Erickson at Red State, are buzzing that McCarthy may have dropped out because of rumors that he was having an extramarital affair with Rep. Renee Ellmers (R) of North Carolina:
There's a guy out in America who has emails for a massive number of members of Congress and the email addresses of highly influential conservatives outside Congress.
A few days ago, he emailed out to 91 people, including these members of Congress, an email with a series of links to stories alleging a relationship between Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.) of North Carolina. It is worth noting that the two deny a relationship. [Red State]
Both Erickson and Matt Lewis also note that Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina this week mysteriously called on candidates who had committed "misdeeds" to drop out of the race.
"It is again worth noting that both parties deny it," Erickson writes. "But the rumor itself may have led to McCarthy's collapse." Ryu Spaeth
Rep. Charlie Dent: We might have to 'assemble a bipartisan coalition' to elect a speaker of the House
With Republicans reeling after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) abruptly dropped out of the race for House speaker Thursday, it suddenly seems that no one else — McCarthy was the favorite — will be able to secure enough votes for the job. While the House Freedom Caucus has endorsed Daniel Webster (R-Fla.), he does not have the 218 votes needed to be elected speaker.
That leaves few interesting options. As Charlie Dent (R-Penn.) told CNN's Dana Bash, Congress might be forced to "assemble a bipartisan coalition" to elect the next speaker of the House. While Bash seemed skeptical that Democrats would vote for a Republican, Dent suggested Paul Ryan might be the man for the job (too bad Ryan has already said he doesn't want the gig). Part of the problem, Dent added, is that the Republicans have been demanding unreasonable concessions. But as Bash later pointed out on air, "Someone has to be speaker." It very much remains to be seen just who that will be. Jeva Lange
Shortly after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) abruptly dropped out of the running for House speaker, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (R) was quick to issue a statement clarifying that he was not at all interested in the job:
Kevin McCarthy is best person to lead the House, and so I'm disappointed in this decision. Now it is important that we, as a Conference, take time to deliberate and seek new candidates for the speakership. While I am grateful for the encouragement I've received, I will not be a candidate. I continue to believe I can best serve the country and this conference as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. [Rep. Paul Ryan]
Ryan was set to give the nominating speech for McCarthy today in the closed party election for speaker. The election has been postponed and a new date has yet to be announced. Becca Stanek
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) abruptly dropped out of the race for House speaker on Thursday, just as House Republicans were gathering for a vote. McCarthy, who was widely seen as the favorite for the nomination, reportedly said, "I am not the one" as he withdrew his bid.
Though McCarthy may have had enough support to succeed in the vote, the news comes shortly after the influential hardline Freedom Caucus announced it would not support him — an indication that the uncompromisingly conservative voting bloc that threatened to hold a floor vote on John Boehner's speakership would likely be a thorn in McCarthy's side throughout his presumed tenure in the role.
McCarthy plans to remain as House majority leader. The vote for House speaker has been postponed. Becca Stanek
For the low price of $19.99, this company wants to sell you three authentic fall leaves sourced from New England
Thanks to one Boston entrepreneur, you can now enjoy New England fall foliage without the looming threat of a miserable winter. Kyle Waring has launched the website ShipFoliage.com, which does exactly what it sounds like it does — mail people leaves. The site promises to "collect, preserve, and ship gorgeous fall foliage" to your doorstep. And it only costs $19.99 — or $6.66 a leaf.
The site will only be shipping the best of the best leaves, too. ShipFoliage promises "Grade A" foliage from New England that is preserved in a way that "enhances the foliage color contrast and also preserves the leaves for years to come."
But ShipFoliage isn't even Waring's first gimmicky business venture — he also ships out boxes of snow. Ship Snow, Yo reportedly sent out "over 700 pounds of historic Boston snow" last year. Becca Stanek

After it was discovered that Penn State football coach Joe Paterno knew his assistant coach Jerry Sandusky had been molesting children for years, Penn State's board of trustees planned to allow him to retire at the season's end. Then someone used a doll to show the trustees where Sandusky touched the kids, and the decision was made to dismiss Paterno immediately.
Ashton Kutcher took offense to this decision and posted on Twitter:
How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste
Then he evidently had the case explained to him and quickly pulled the tweet before apologizing profusely.
As an advocate in the fight against child sexual exploitation, I could not be more remorseful for all involved in the Penn St. case.
As of immediately I will stop tweeting until I find a way to properly manage this feed. I feel awful about this error. Won't happen again.
Great! Now if we can only get him to apologize for his career…. (BuzzFeed)

To iPad or not to iPad…that is the question. Is it nobler to have love and lost, or never to have loved at all? What could possibly be lost from this nifty new gadget other than its unfortunate name. Innocence? Oh, there's probably an app for that.
No, really…will these new electronic readers be the demise of the demure book?
Valentine's Day is coming and it would be a perfect occasion for my honey to give me the new iPad. They are such beautiful electronic specimens. I am sure it will be love at first touch.
See, my whole family are Mac people. You can spot us a mile away. You've no doubt seen the ads, so there's no need to elaborate. New Mac products come out and we're abuzz with techie tunes. Please don't go throwing your PC's at me. Bill Gates will always get my humanitarian points for putting his money where his mouth is, but I'll keep my nicely designed, green electronic whiz kid computer.
Steve Jobs positioned that the iPad will be the best device for certain kinds of computing, like browsing the Web, reading ebooks and playing videos. Reading ebooks?
When the Kindle announced that it would revolutionize the way we read, and it did (Amazon sold more Kindles over the holidays than anything else), I was mildly interested. But, this new Mac super-baby seems like it could leap over tall buildings in a single bound. The tablet device runs iPhone applications and will have Apple's own app called iBooks, which will connect to a new online e-bookstore.
The pros and cons of reading on a hand held electronic reading device vs. books are hotly debated. Let's join in!

Once I have those Mag Regulators, we can have a Nanite Probe shoot out and see if beams or cannons deal the most damage.

IPCC probe as man dies after arrest
Posted: October 11, 2012|
A man who was "restrained" by police before being taken into custody has died, the police watchdog confirmed.
Thomas Orchard was arrested by Devon and Cornwall Police in Exeter city centre, on October 3, on suspicion of a public order offence.
But he was later taken to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital when officers became concerned that the 32-year-old was not responding to them while in his cell.
An Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) spokesman said its investigation would aim to discover whether or not Mr Orchard's head injuries were sustained during his arrest. He died in hospital at 6pm on Wednesday, the IPCC said.
IPCC commissioner Amerdeep Somal said: "This is very sad news and I extend my condolences to Mr Orchard's family and friends. We will arrange to meet with his family again when they are ready. We will, of course, keep them informed of the progress of our investigation."
A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out in the next few days, with a file prepared for the coroner.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the IPCC on 0800 096 9077 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

During our Arcing Light sessions, Ann helped me to identify intentions for myself and my life. I was given the space to simply be and I was able to practice becoming more attuned to my breathing patterns. The experience was a nurturing space to feel my emotions truthfully, while encouraging inner transformation.
Ann's delightfully calming presence facilitated my emergence into a flow state filled with a nourishing sense of warmth. This place felt childlike and freeing, and I became aware of how my hands vibrated as they clutched the healing crystals. Symbolic visions came to me while I was in this state, which later served me in my creative work.
Simply put, Ann has a kind of spark that makes me believe in angels. My sessions with Ann were pivotal in helping me release long held onto grief and grasping a new sense of what is possible for me as an artist.

Arcing Light Energy work is a high vibrational loving, nurturing energy that is powerful yet gentle and is beneficial in recharging and balancing energy fields promoting calmness as well as a feeling of wellness and wholeness. Arcing Light Energy uses a dimensional overlay to bring light energy through the healers hands, & modifies cellular energy with radial light to create a healthy, natural state. It releases the body of anxiety and toxins that build up density and create dis-ease (stress).
Arcing Light Energy works on all conditions of emotions relating to fear, confusion, stress, and other problems connected with the deeper psyche. It works on the inner root core and corrects the movement of the cells energy to become perfectly balanced and flowing; bridges the mind - body - spirit connection, integrating the energies of all three; can override energy imbalances or blocks thus relieving symptoms typical of stress and illness; and also provides co-radial and co-axle energies that work on mobility problems (hips, knees, ankles, joints) and all types of head, back and neck problems.
Get clarity regarding a situation happening in your life, a relationship, or your life purpose
Release anxiety, worry, fear, doubt
Open and unleash your creativity
Unlock your potential - athletes, performers, writers
Get connected to your inner/higher self
Quiet your mind
Each person has their own experience
Healing energies are coming through in all of Ann's work which is one component that sets her work apart from others.
Ann is AMAZING! I've been getting massage from her for over 5 years and she's the only person who has ever managed to make my back feel better. Also, within the past year and a half I've been getting arcing light from Ann and it has literally changed my life! The energy work was incredibly soothing. In the session I could actually see dark rings/circles leaving my body and beautiful shades of pinks, blues, purples and whites entering in. The arcing light has helped to ease my tension/stress headaches, helped me sleep more soundly, and provided me with relationship clarity. Truly a healing experience! -Amanda F.
After my second Arcing Light session I was so extraordinarily happy I couldn't stop smiling.

Commenting on: Newegg TV: AMD FirePro W Series Interview
Newegg TV gives a pretty comprehensive interview and overview of the new AMD FirePro W Series discussing the unique points of each card, as well as common features across all cards.
The video covers the FirePro W600, W5000, W7000, W8000, and W9000.
These Newegg videos are really very good. Reminds me of Zappos shoe reviews - comprehensive, useful and no marketing spin.

Golf Rules in Action DVDGolf Rules in Action explains and demonstrates the basic Rules of the game.
Golf Rules IllustratedA clear, detailed, illustrated explanation of the Rules of Golf.
A Guide to the Rules on Clubs and BallsGuidelines to interpret the Rules relating to the design and manufacture of golf clubs and balls.
Birds and Golf CoursesThis book provides guidance on how to support bird populations through effective management of the roughs and out of play areas.
The GolfersThis book examines in detail the historical background to the painting 'The Golfers'.
The Definition of "Obstruction" states in part that "An obstruction is anything artificial ... except: ... Any construction declared by the Committee to be an integral part of the course." Accordingly, a Committee may declare an artificially-surfaced road or path to be an integral part of the course. This generally would only be recommended in a situation where providing free relief from the road or path would spoil an intrinsic feature of the hole. Perhaps the best example of this is the 17th hole at The Old Course, St Andrews, known as the Road Hole, where the road behind the green is an integral part of the course.
Should the Committee wish to treat all artificially-surfaced roads or paths as integral parts of the course, it must make a Local Rule to that effect, for example:
"Roads and Paths All roads and paths are integral parts of the course. The ball must be played as it lies or deemed unplayable (Rule 28)."
The Committee may declare an artificially-surfaced road or path to be an integral part of the course, as occurs at the 17th hole at The Old Course, St Andrews.
It is important to note that artificial sides or edgings to roads and are not covered by the above Local Rule and would maintain their status as immovable obstructions. Specific reference would have to be made to the edgings in the Local Rule in order to make them integral parts of the course. It is recommended that drainage channels adjacent to cart paths be deemed by Local Rule to be part of the immovable obstruction.
As outlined above, by Definition, artificially-surfaced roads and paths are immovable obstructions and relief from interference by them is available under Rule 24-2b. It may be that the player's nearest point of relief from such an obstruction is in trees, bushes, on a steep slope etc. thereby providing no practical relief. However, it is not permissible for a Committee to make a Local Rule providing relief in all cases on a designated side of the road or path as such a situation is not considered to be "abnormal". In addition, it would not be appropriate to establish dropping zones to alleviate the problem (see Decision 33-8/19).

Authorities continue looking for people involved in Oxnard double shooting
Oxnard police were looking Tuesday for people involved in a shooting the night before that left one man dead and another injured, officials said.
Police responded about 6:40 p.m. Monday to reports of gunshots in the 2000 block of Mariposa Street.
Joshua Van, 24, of Oxnard, was found at the scene. Emergency personnel unsuccessfully tried to save him, police said. An autopsy revealed he died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
An 18-year-old man also was shot, in the stomach. He was taken to a hospital, where he underwent surgery and was in stable condition, officials said.
Investigators said they had not identified a motive. No arrests had been made as of late Tuesday, officials said.
"We haven't been able to establish what led to the shooting and are still attempting to locate witnesses," said Oxnard police Sgt. Christopher Williams. It was not known if the shooting was gang-related, or how many people were involved, he said.
Van apparently lived in the area where he was shot. He had a criminal record in Ventura County dating to 2008, according to court records. His convictions included possession of a controlled substance, second-degree robbery, first-degree residential burglary and assault likely to produce great bodily injury, records show.
The city of Oxnard offers a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a homicide suspect. Anyone with information about this incident should call Detective Miguel Serrato at 385-7688 or Ventura County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-222-8477.
It was Oxnard's first homicide of 2014 and only the third in Ventura County. The city had 15 homicides last year.

Thank you for your support...Bob Drummer
BIOGRAPHY Simon Phillips:SOURCE: Official drummer site
In 1992 Simon decided to move to the USA, coinciding with being askedto join Toto for their world tour. He has remained a full time memberever since. After recording the Toto album "Tambu" in 1995, anotheryear of touring followed in 1996, covering Europe, Japan, SE Asia andSouth America.
In 1997 Simon took a break from Toto in order to reach a personalmilestone: He took his own band on tour, and for the first time he wasthe bandleader, and it was his music. This great year included tours ofEurope, Japan and The United States, and a performance at The North SeaJazz Festival.
1998 saw the recording of another Toto studio album entitled"Mindfields", followed by 2 years of touring around the world of whichthe live CD "Livefields" captures. The most recent Toto record "Throughthe Looking Glass" took the band in 2002/03 on extensive concert tripsto Europe and Asia.
Expanding his career from drumming to writing solo projects, Simonrecorded his first album "Protocol" in 1988, followed by "ForceMajeure" in 1992. "Symbiosis", which he recorded in 1995, was asspirited but more inspired than ever, and showed a change of directionin the compositions. Simon likes to link his growth in songwriting andnew artistic depth to his move to the States. The 1997 record "AnotherLifetime" shows yet another layer of his tremendously resourcefulplaying and an even more motivated composing. "Out of the Blue", a livealbum, followed in 1998 and in 1999 another complete change of styletook place in his latest record "Vantage Point", which is a pure,straight ahead jazz album.
Yet another expansion to Simon's musical career is producing andengineering, which he first started back in England with Britishcomposer Mike Oldfield, working on three albums with him. Aside fromhis solo projects, Simon also co-produced Toto's "Tambu" in 1995,followed by "Mindfields" in 1998. Simon was asked to engineer thelatest Toto album, and spent a couple of months during the winter of2001/02 recording "Through the Looking Glass" in his own studio. Simonis currently back in his studio mixing a recently recorded show for thenext Toto DVD.
In 2000 Simon took a break from Toto and recorded with DerekSherinian, formally of Dream Theater, as well as produced andengineered "Inertia". The following year included the recording ofprogressive band Planet X, "Moonbabies" and mixing a live CD "Live FromOz".
Simon's sympathy to the various styles of music and his interest insound and arrangements will always drive him to expand his career.

CANTON - The St. Lawrence University mens and womens basketball teams played to a split at home against their Liberty League counterparts from Skidmore at Burkman Gymnasium on Tuesday.
senior Janpeter Brase scored a team-high 13 points and added seven rebounds against Skidmore, however, the Thoroughbreds were able to rally from a six-point halftime deficit behind Aldin Medunjanins 16 points and nine assists, leading the visitors to a tight 52-50 Liberty League victory.
Skidmore, which closed with a 42-31 edge in rebounds, improves to 14-7 and keeps pace for a spot in the Liberty League Tournament at 8-4. The Saints (7-13, 3-8) held the lead throughout most of the second half, but were done in by 17 turnovers and a 64% mark at the free throw line (14—22). Neither team shot the ball well from behind the arc, combining for a 6—36 mark (17%).
The Saints held a 25-19 lead at halftime, as their defense held Skidmore to 7-31 from the floor including an 0-9 mark from behind the arc. Rookie Kyle Kobis led the way for the home team with eight points, but three personal fouls sent him to the bench in the later stages of the period. St. Lawrence was able to overcome their own shooting struggles thanks to an efficient offensive presence in the post, as the team scored 16 points in the paint and finished 10-22 (46%) from the floor.
Though St. Lawrence would stretch the lead to seven on a lay-up by Brady Condlin early in the second, the Thoroughbreds answered with a 10-2 run orchestrated by Medunjanin to reclaim the lead at 31-30. His no-look pass to Tanner Brooks for a lay-up with 13:37 to go put the visitors back on top and forced a timeout from the Saints.
While Medunjanin was leading his offense on one end, Brase went to work for St. Lawrence, having his way in the post including a huge dunk that swung the energy in his teams favor. He scored 10 points in the second half, helping the Saints to a four point lead at 43-39 with 4:40 to play.
Erik Sanders delivered a big three for Skidmore when it needed it most to pull Skidmore within one, and after two St. Lawrence free throws, it was Brian Moore from the corner for three to tie the game at 45-45. Medunjanin gave the Thoroughbreds a 49-47 advantage with 1:14 to play, and after a St. Lawrence turnover, found himself well outside the arc with the shot clock winding down. He unloaded a desperation three that connected with 15.4 seconds left, putting Skidmore up 52-47.
Though rookie Kyle Edwards off-balance three followed for St. Lawrence with 5.2 seconds left to close the gap to two at 52-50, Skidmore was able to get the ball inbounds and avoid a foul, running out the clock for the come-from-behind victory.
Tuesdays game capped a five-game home stand, and the Saints will be in action again on Friday when they visit RIT at 8 p.m.
Junior Allison Cady scored in double figures against a Liberty League opponent for the first time this season on Tuesday night, finishing with 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting to lead the womens basketball team to a 63-58 win over Skidmore College in the Burkman Gymnasium. Senior Kelly Legg scored a game-high 23 points and added 12 rebounds, battling Skidmores Angela Botiba, who finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds in the loss.
St. Lawrence remains atop the conference standings after winning its sixth straight game, improving to 14-6 (10-1). Meanwhile, Skidmore falls to 9-12 (4-8), and though Jordyn Wartts added 14 points, she finished only 3-for-19 from the floor.
St. Lawrence will hit the road this weekend for a pair of tough conference tests, as the team faces RIT and William Smith. The Saints and Tigers will tip-off at 6 p.m. on Friday.
In a Division III womens hockey game played in Aston, PA, former Salmon River Central standout Karley Cree (Hogansburg, NY) netted her 10th goal of the season to tie the game late in the third period, but two scores in the closing minutes gave host Neumann University a 3-1 win Tuesday evening.
The hosts got on the board early as 4:59 into the opening period they were able to take advantage of a Roo infraction for tripping. Just over midway through the power play chance the Knights converted as Shanelle Doucette found Megan Russelo for her fifth goal of the season. The Knights led 1-0 after one.
Neumann (6-14-1) dominated the second period in shots but strong play from Roo goaltender Shayna Dominique (Mistissini, QUE) kept SUNY Canton in the game as it trailed by just one goal after 40 minutes of play.
Cree led the Roo attack all night and her plethora of shots finally paid off when she beat Knight net minder Julia Fair to knot the game at 1-1 at the 15:09 mark of the third. Abbey Diabo (Kahnawake, QUE) and Dana Morrison (Wemindji, QUE) were credited with assists on the Cree score.
The host Knights wasted little time as just 17 seconds later Dru Austin beat Dominique to help Neumann regain the lead at 2-1. Grace Kleinbach and Russelo registered helpers on the play.
With 2:47 remaining in regulation Neumann was whistled for high sticking sending the Roo power play to the ice. After not finding the back of the net the first 80 seconds with the skater advantage, Head Coach Melissa Lomanto pulled Dominique sending another skater to the ice for a 6-on-4 advantage. With just 1:13 left on the clock Russelo netted her second tally of the game, this one coming short-handed with the empty net as the Knights held on for the 3-1 final.
Cree led the Roos (7-13-3) with seven shots on goal in the game.
Dominique turned aside 33 shots for SUNY Canton, while Fair made 15 stops for Neumann.
The womens hockey team is back in action Saturday when it visits SUNY Potsdam for a 3 p.m. puck drop. The Roos will then host the Bears on Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Roos House in their season finale.

HK firm says ferry in tragedy passed inspection
Relatives of the victims cry Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012 as they pay tribute to the ill-fated people aboard a boat that sank Monday night near Lamma Island, off the southwestern coast of Hong Kong Island. The boat packed with revelers on a long holiday weekend collided with a ferry and sank off Hong Kong, killing at least 36 people and injuring dozens, authorities said. (AP Photo/Vincent Yu)
HONG KONG (AP) — The company that owns the ferry involved in one of Hong Kong's deadliest accidents in decades said Wednesday it passed an inspection just last month, though authorities have offered no explanation about how two boats collided on a clear night in one of the safest and most regulated waterways in Asia.
Police have arrested seven crew members from both boats, including the captains, on suspicion of operating the vessels unsafely but have not elaborated on their actions in Monday Login to read more

Step back, Lady Gaga! Beyonce's music video for Run The World (Girls) found its way to YouTube late Wednesday, and it is chock full of Fashion with a capital F. Beyonce filled a post-apocalyptic world with looks from the most major of major fashion houses, including Alexander McQueen and Givenchy. But not just regular Givenchy — Givenchy Haute Couture.
Beyonce also wore looks from Norma Kamali, Pucci, Gareth Pugh and a few jewelry designers we're sad to say we're not familiar with. But all of the looks were amazing, just like the song. As much as it is about female empowerment, we couldn't help but notice how utterly powerful the clothes were on their own. A strong lady in strong dresses? Now that's something we can always get behind.
Take a look at the clothes, then see them in action in the video below.

Plum community will never forget Carney's sunny outlook
The world lost a ray of SUNNYshine on Nov. 3 when Alicia "Sunny" Carney brought more brightness to heaven, after she succumbed to carcinoid cancer.
As I stood in line to pay my respect to her family, I witnessed person after person making their own "footprints" for her.
I have never met anyone that did not mention her smile and how she always had the way to enhance any situation with a positive.
As her time with all of us was coming to a close, she spoke of "footprints" on her sons' hearts.
She spoke of lasting memories that the tidal wave of tears upon her departure would not wash away the imprints in the proverbial sand.
If you were blessed with one moment with this special lady you were touched for life.
The words "cannot" or "quit" never entered her thoughts or exited her mouth.
She taught us all that with family and loved ones we can overcome the most dreadful experiences in life.
As Plum Borough grew from launching wiffleballs on behalf of cancer research to large community gatherings, each of us became a better person because Sunny made us that way.
Her relentless energy to push forward with a glimmer of hope illuminated even the darkest hour.
Each of us has lost, or will lose, loved ones but there always enters into all our lives a special person that goes beyond blood relative, goes beyond friend and goes beyond acquaintance.
Sunny Carney is such a person.
I do not believe that there is a single person in Plum Borough that has not been touched by the rays of Sunny Carney.
As her three awesome sons, her husband Mark and her family prepare for life without her physical presence they undoubtedly will feel her presence with each heartbeat.
But this woman's impact on the world will never be washed away by the sands of time, for just as Sunny requested her footprints be softly embedded in each of our hearts, Plum Borough has become a better community because of her.
Just as the sun rises every day, Sunny Carney remains with each of us as the flowers will bloom, the leaves will fall, the snow will glisten and the birds will sing.
As the holiday season comes upon us, we all have the memory of Sunny to be thankful for, as she will glisten from heaven upon our families the same spirit she bestowed upon her own.
She cannot be missed because your footprints will never leave us — they are eternal.
R.H. Sakolsky writes columns periodically for the Plum Advance Leader.

When people think of minority populations, they often think urban rather than rural communities. In fact, minorities comprise 15 percent of the total rural population and account for 30 percent of the rural poor population. Minorities face a myriad of problems ranging from chronic poverty among people in the Southeast, to a lack of stable medical care for migrant workers, to language barriers faced by newcomers to this country. The Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) has had a longstanding concern with the diverse health needs of rural minority populations.
A growing concern to rural communities is that HIV/AIDS is continuing to spread in the South and disproportionately affect communities of color. The special needs of those with infected with HIV/AIDS is further complicated by the lack of appropriate health services available in many rural communities. Increasingly, organizations and service providers need tools and resources to enhance their capacity to better deliver these services. In response, ORHP is developing a web-based, resource guide on best practices in HIV/AIDS prevention and care for rural communities that will complement efforts currently underway by other organizations.
This publication by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) gives highlights of research conducted on rural minority health from across the United States, including a good bibliography of reports (most are available free upon request)
The Office of Minority Health contains programmatic and financial assistance resources, and a list of minority health liaisons and organizations by state.

Challenge Grant
Project Description
Three projects with inter-related features that increase water use efficiency and conservation and include water banking and marking.
1. Beardsley Water Reclamation Facility Recharge: The construction of one or more additional recharge basins at the City's Beardsley Underground Storage Facility, to bank reclaimed water from the City-owned Beardsley Water Reclamation Facility underground more reliably by reducing evaporation losses and to earn storage credits used for exchanges. Two of the existing 10 basins have been under-performing for over 3 years, which has made operations at this zero-discharge facility extremely difficult. The City has invested extensive time and money into investigating the cause and developing solutions to cure these operational issues. The City is embarking on rehabilitation at this writing. These operational improvements are expected to be complete later this year. The new basins requested in the proposal will substantially increase efficiency, give much needed reliable recharge capacity and allow for accommodation of increased flows.
2. Peoria Sports Complex: The conversion of a well system at the Peoria Sports Complex (the City's Spring Training facility for the Mariners and Padres) from potable to non-potable water, as an interim step until the City's reclaimed water pipeline can be extended to the Peoria Sports Complex.
3. Butler Reclaimed Water Groundwater Savings Facility: The City is currently losing Long-Term Storage Credits at the rate of 5,000 acre-feet per year due to the need to exchange these credits for storage space in the New River-Agua Fria Underground Storage Project because of diminished operational capacity at that recharge facility since November 2008. The Butler Reclaimed Water Groundwater Savings Facility will allow the City to obtain full ownership of its Long-Term Storage Credits while providing wet water to the Roosevelt Irrigation District for agricultural use, in lieu of their pumping groundwater.
Construction of a pipeline, water measuring and control devices will allow water from the Butler Water Reclamation Facility to flow to the Roosevelt Irrigation District Groundwater Savings Facility where it can be directly used for agriculture while accruing storage credits used for exchanges. This system will be designed to pressurize the reclaimed water pipeline so that the City's newest park, Community Park II, can be served with reclaimed water when it is constructed over the next 2-3 years. The tee from the 30" reclaimed water line for the 8" pipe connection is included in this project.
