South Carolina State Beverage – Milk
SC SC Facts & Firsts SC State Symbols SC State Beverage
The official state beverage of South Carolina is milk. Act 360 of the 1984 General Assembly stated that dairy farmers could be found in all but seven counties in South Carolina, making it a multi-million dollar industry for our state.
Milk production in SC has since dropped considerably, but around 90 dairy farms still exist in our state.1 These farms, located mainly in the Midlands and Upstate, raise goats and cows for milk production. Milk has been designated the official state beverage for 20 states, making it by far the most popular choice in America.
A Glass of Milk
Most of us understand that milk usually comes from cows, but milk can also come from goats and other animals – buffalo, camels, donkeys, horses, sheep, yaks, and even reindeer. It is estimated that cows produce around 90% of the world's milk supply. All cows are female; males are referred to as bulls. Cows cannot produce milk until they have given birth to a calf.
A cow's udders can hold between 25 and 50 pounds of milk at one time. In order to produce so much milk, they must eat around 90 pounds of food per day! Cows who eat only grass do not produce as much milk as those who eat a combined diet of grass, corn, and hay.
The Coburg Cow, Charleston
Cheese, yogurt, and ice cream are just a few of the many products that can be made using milk. Clemson is famous around the state for its delicious blue cheese, "Clemson Blue," and for the milkshakes made in the university's own MicroCreamery.
Split Creek Farm, in Anderson, uses goat's milk to produce cheese, fudge, and even soap. Charleston's Coburg Dairy is well known for its mascot (pictured above) who can be seen wearing seasonal outfits throughout the year.

Kate Middleton exchanged her trademark wrap dresses and stylish coats in favour of a hefty khaki jacket and a peaked hat as she joined a group of UK Scouts in Cumbria.
Ditching her heels for wellies (we're guessing Hunter), the Duchess of Cambridge, 31, wrapped up against the falling snow to join Scout leaders on an event in the Lake District.
Kate, who's a former Brownie, has been volunteering with her local Cub Scout group in Anglesey, where she lives with husband Prince William.
[Related: Kate Middleton wears Topshop for charity visit]
She joined other volunteers in the Lakes to guide a group of 24 lucky Scouts in an activity day to hone their survival skills, including cooking outside and lighting fires.
Kate 'paired' her outfit with a blue, white and red Scouting scarf and wore a peaked Really Wild tweed cap to keep the snow off her tumbling locks.
[Related: Kate Middleton joins the Queen for the Tube's 150 birthday celebrations]
She also kept cosy with several layers peaking out from beneath her jacket, warm black trousers and fingerless gloves.
The pregnant Duchess helped cook dough twists over an open fire and laughed with the other volunteers, looking quite at home in the rustic setting.
It's her third public appearance this week, and has certainly had the most relaxed dress code. Earlier this week the Duchess wore a black Topshop dress and white Goat coat to visit charity Child Bereavement UK.
And later in the week she joined the Queen and Prince Phillip on an official visit to Baker Street station, to mark 150 years of the Tube. To this event she was smartly dressed in a Marlene Birger coat and black beret. Last week Kate had a rare fashion mishap as her heel got stuck in a grate while attending a parade for St Patrick's Day.

Housewife desperate to see familyMarcia Cross admits she's struggled to stay in touch with loved ones since winning a starring role on 'Desperate Housewives'.
The redheaded actress, who plays neurotic wife and mother Bree Van De Kamp on the hit show, says her busy schedule means she is often forced to cancel plans with friends and family leaving her frustrated.
She is quoted in Britain's New magazine as saying: "The hardest thing for me is finding time to see the people that I love - my friends and my family. "This year, I was glad that I had lots of solid friendships because I had to say, 'I can't see you', so many times. I couldn't make plans. But hopefully this year the schedule will be better, and it will be more balanced."

The IPL governing council rejected RCB owner Vijay Mallyas complaint that the auctioneer had erred in prolonging the auction after the hammer had come down during Yuvraj Singh's sale. We had a governing council meet. We came to the conclusion that the auctioneer is the final authority to take a call and make a decision. So, we will go by the auctioneers decision," said IPL chairman Ranjib Biswal.
Mallya had filed a protest over the auction of Yuvraj Singh on Wednesday. However, KKR officials said they had their paddle up and the auctioneer did not notice it. Auctioneer Richard Madley said his view was blocked by other officials and the auction was re-started. As a result, the bid which was originally closed in favour of RCB for a sum of R10 crore had to be re-opened and was later settled at Rs 14 crore.

It can be tough to gauge which of Snooki's inappropriate (yet wildly entertaining) antics will set off Jionni–he went unbothered by her Meatball Mashup in Riccione, yet prior to that snapped at her for belching over the phone. On tonight's episode of "Jersey Shore," however, there was no question about how he'd respond to seeing his girlfriend flash her koo-kah to the beat of a club remix. It was obvious he'd go postal, and indeed, he did so with great gumption.
After dodging Friar Ron's attempt at imparting wisdom (Lord knows the guy's got some experience with this sort of relationship drama) and taking a self-guided tour throughout the streets of Florence, Jionni returned to the cast palace, where he exacted his revenge using the sword of silence and abandonment–the words "I'm done, Sam Nicole!" were never actually uttered (or were they? you couldn't hear much over Snooki's wailing) as he recklessly packed his Affliction tees and fled the scene–though we imagine next week's episode will conjure many an ultimatum from his pouty gorilla lips.
Unfortunately, panic is bound to set in for Snooks once the morning light, not to mention the stink of Parliament Lights and regret, hit her Soco-soaked brains, and we're not sure she'll be capable of having a rational conversation with him.
In our latest "Jersey Shore Hook-up," Snooki's housemates give a play-by-play of the hours-long ordeal and take sides on who was in the wrong (survey says: both of them). Watch the video clips below for their hindsight and to hear Snooki's personal recollection of her turkey meatball's chaos-laden visit.

Suspect's arrest evolved from Lake Elsinore property dispute
Three days after the shooting spree in Connecticut that shocked the world, Norman Andrew Park concluded an angry rant at Lake Elsinore City Hall by saying loud enough for witnesses to hear ---- "Bring body bags."
Two days later on Dec. 19, officers arrested Park at the unoccupied house he owns on North Poe Street in Lake Elsinore on charges of threatening a government employee, brandishing a firearm and interfering with an officer performing his duties. Freed from jail after posting bond on $25,000 bail, he is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court in February.
The 54-year-old Perris man's introduction to the criminal justice system was not the fruit of habitual illegal activity. Rather, it was the latest episode in a dispute between a private property owner and city officials who believe he has failed at his responsibilities to maintain the property.
Kristi Snyder, who lives with Park and has at times represented him at City Hall, contends the officials want to have the 2,200-square-foot one-story house on Poe demolished without justification and possibly for their own gain.
"There's some underlying thing that doesn't sit right with me," she said.
City officials, however, say the 88-year-old stucco structure is falling apart and should have been razed long ago.
"This has gone on for over two years, which I think is a year and a half too long," Councilman Brian Tisdale said. "Property owners need to be responsible, and we're willing to work with property owners, but they have to meet us halfway. ... Responsible people don't put themselves in this situation."
The roots of the conflict date back to 2009 when Park bought the property at 315 N. Poe St., although the city had already condemned the house, according to Officer Bill Belvin's written history of the property.
The Californian obtained the history submitted to City Manager Grant Yates on Dec. 27 through a public records act request.
Park, however, told city officials he intended to rebuild the property and was informed in February 2010 that he needed to submit a plan for the renovation.
According to Belvin's narrative, that plan never arrived and the city in July 2012 relaunched the process of demolishing the house. Code enforcement officers also issued citations saying the property was littered and overgrown, and inoperable vehicles were stored there.
After unsuccessful attempts to contact Park by mail, code enforcement officers visited the property on Sept. 10. to serve an eviction notice. According to a court document in support of Park's arrest, the owner arrived with a handgun, prompting a scuffle in which officers attempted to seize the gun. The officers were able to wrest the gun away from him and handcuff him, the document states.
Park, however, was not arrested then. Snyder contends Park was roughed up by the officers and suffered injuries.
A couple of weeks later, Belvin stated, he met with Park and once again the man stated his intention to rebuild. But, Belvin said, the document submitted in November as a plan was inadequate. The city continued with the legal steps required to demolish a structure on private property, leading to Park's appearance at City Hall on Dec. 17 and the alleged threat.
Belvin concludes by saying demolition could be averted if Park or Snyder can provide a registered architect representing them or property plans. Otherwise, the structure soon will be leveled.
City Manager Grant Yates confirmed Thursday that officials are willing to stave off the demolition if Snyder can come up with a plan to adequately fix it.
"Basically, we've told her all along that if she can show us she has architectural plans or can show us she's working with an architect, we would work with her," he said. "But at this point, we plan on going forward with demo-ing the property."

In laws stayed with me for too long after baby.. now I resent them and dread their visits.
My in laws stayed with me for 3 weeks right after baby. They insisted on coming to help cook but they were more of a nuisance than help as I felt like I had to entertain them 24/7 while I was learning to breastfeed and was healing myself. It was an extremely overwhelming experience for me. Knowing what I know now, I would have said no (and I will if I have a second child). It's been 6 months and I cannot get over how uncomfortable, dreadful and lonely I felt while my in laws stayed with me. Any mention of them makes my skin crawl. I cannot stand them and am dreading future visits (they always stay way too long). Did anyone have a similar experience when you brought home baby?

My mother in law (as sweet as she can be) told me she was coming to stay with me when I had our first, she is 80!!!! I politely told her no that I had my mum and she would stay with me if I needed it. But they invaded my birth room...I told my husband he could tell his sister (only) and not anyone else when I went into labour, next thing I know my mother in law, 2 sisters in law and a herd of nieces and nephews kept coming in and out of the room as I was labouring :( my midwife believes that is why I wouldnt dilate I was too stressed with the audience I was receiving. I didnt pick up the phone unless it was convenient for me to have them over!posted 06/29/2013 by catvar
Thank you for sharing your experience! That is EXACTLY how I feel - I am mad, annoyed and uncomfortable with any email, call or visit from in laws. Even a mere mention of them makes me irk. They are visiting now and I am very possessive of my daughter. Encouraging that you are doing better since your daughter is older. If I have a second child, I don't want them to visit for a long time - maybe 4 months after baby is born.posted 06/17/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

The World Energy Engineers Congress features many ways to lower or even eliminate energy costs, though they do come at a price. The conference attracts thousands of energy experts from around the world to the Georgia World Congress Center. This year's event runs from October 31st through November 2nd.
At the low end of the price point: LED lightbulbs. Experts from Atlanta Lightbulbs said while they can cost three times what a CFL bulb costs, they last up to five times longer and don't contain mercury.
Electric cars are also a big draw. A Georgia Power spokesman said Federal and State Tax credits can bring the price down to around $28,000. He said over the life of the vehicle it will yield an 87 percent savings in fueld costs.
New advances in Solar Energy were another hot topic. "Solar is probably the biggest trend in the industry right now," said Pete Marte, CEO of Hannah Solar. Solar energy combined with heating and air systems that grab energy out of the ground can lead to Net Zero energy use, meaning a household can produce as much much energy as it consumes.
There is only one such home in Georgia, in Palmetto. Experts say they are quite popular in Canada, and may catch on as the U.S housing industry recovers and more new homes are constructed.

I am having trouble with flash content while using Safari 5.1.5. I am using MacBook (early 2008) and Mac OS X version is 10.7.3. There is no extension installed and flash version is 11.2 r202. Here is a basic scenario that I generally experience on Youtube:
- When a click a link on Youtube or any other website redirecting to youtube, the video doesn't show up at first, but it starts playing after refreshing the page. Initially I see only black video screen with loading animation. This basically causes my youtube playlists don't work, because after a video finish playing, the next one comes, but not runs.
- Another thing is when there is flash content on a page/tab, I need to open that tab and wait it to load and run. Otherwise, let's say I clicked a bookmark linked to radio listening page and change tab, Safari doesn't load and run it.
My question is 'Is it just me, or are there other people having similar problems so that I can report a bug?'

The first of Roland's eagerly awaited digital mixers, the VM3100 is an obvious spin-off from the mixer section of Roland's VS1680 digital multitracker. But it still packs a lot of functionality into a tiny space -- and furthermore, the basic version is the cheapest digital mixer yet! Hugh Robjohns investigates.
As digital signal processing chips have become cheaper and ever more powerful, digital mixers have become increasingly commonplace at the budget end of the market. Indeed, it is probably now more cost-effective to buy a digital mixer, complete with its snapshot facilities and built-in effects processors, than it would be to buy a similarly equipped analogue mixer and a small rack of outboard gear.
Value for money is one thing, though, and usability is another. I would suggest that anyone with some recording experience could quickly find their way around an unfamiliar analogue mixer, and probably master a rack of effects processors in a pretty short time too. However, as anyone who has tried to use a digital desk will know, you need a set of well-honed crampons to scale the near-vertical learning curve. Sometimes, even simple operations like switching auxiliary sends to pre-fader seem to require the kind of warped mind of which Professor Moriarty would be proud.
Another serious issue is the number and flexibility of available inputs. Digital desks tend to be relatively poorly equipped with analogue inputs, bulking out their interconnectivity with modular digital multitrack interfaces. Insert points also tend to be a rare sight too, which makes it difficult to integrate those favourite analogue processors. In fact, replacing a trusty old analogue mixer with a nice, modern, shiny, digital affair is rarely straightforward, and often requires a radical rethink of working practices.
Low cost.
Flexible signal routing.
Good built-in effects.
Restricted use of digital inputs.
Roland-specific digital buss format.
Digital mastering to 16-bit devices results in bit truncation and consequent loss of quality in masters.
The second digital mixer available for under a grand. Neat and flexible, the VM3100 Pro packs a lot of facilities into its diminutive frame, with surprisingly good-quality effects and processing. However, technical restrictions with the digital inputs limit its usability slightly, and the current lack of dither options on the digital output rather preclude its use for digital mastering to 16-bit recorders.
Roland's VM3100 follows in the footsteps of Tascam's diminutive TMD1000 -- the first of the budget digital mixers -- but the VM3100's technology, and many of its ergonomic characteristics, have been derived from the mixing section of the popular VS1680 Digital Studio Workstation. To help Roland find an edge over Tascam, this attractive new console is currently available in two versions: the VM3100 which, at two hundred quid less than the Tascam, is the cheapest digital mixer yet; and the VM3100 Pro which is priced to match the TMD1000.
The two versions seem identical at first glance, and are certainly compact, being only 300 x 343 x 95mm in size, and weighing just 3.6kg. Their control surfaces look very neat and well-organised but their miniaturised appearance belies their capabilities -- there is a great deal of flexibility of signal routing and processing hidden just under the surface. The standard VM3100 mixer provides 12 analogue inputs plus a pair of stereo consumer digital I/Os, and a single internal effects processor. The Pro version extends this complement with eight further channels of digital I/O (albeit in Roland's own RMDB II format) and also includes a second internal effects processor offering a much wider range of processes, together with double the number of effects presets and 100 user patches. It is the Pro version of the VM3100 which is the subject of this review.
Whilst the Roland VM3100 Pro is directly comparable to the Tascam TMD1000 (reviewed in SOS November 1998) in terms of channels, effects processors and general facilities, it embodies a totally different set of compromises in its specification -- two balanced mic inputs instead of four, for example, but two digital inputs instead of the Tascam's one. These minor differences are likely to be the issues which steer potential purchasers in the direction of one mixer or the other, depending on their specific requirements, as the two mixers are very similarly equipped in all other respects.
It is the pluggery of a console which gives the biggest clue as to how well it will integrate into a system, so I'll describe this aspect of the VM3100 Pro first. All of the analogue inputs are mounted on the top panel of the mixer towards the left-hand side, making re-patching very easy and obvious. Of the 12 analogue inputs, two are balanced, with both XLRs and jack sockets, and provide a gain range which spans -50 to +4dBu. Phantom power is switchable from a menu page on the screen, but is applied to both sockets together. There are six further unbalanced jack inputs providing the same gain range, and input four also boasts an extra high-impedance socket specifically to accommodate electric guitars. This collection of eight 'instrument' inputs all feature rotary gain controls immediately below the relevant connector on the front panel. The remaining four analogue inputs are provided with pairs of standard red and white phono sockets and accept a fixed 0dBu line level signal, intended for replay sources such as cassette or CD players.
The analogue outputs consist of a pair of unbalanced jacks for the two auxiliary outputs (which make use of internal busses 1&2, and so can also output these), a pair of phono connectors (from busses 3&4), another pair of unbalanced jacks for the master stereo mix buss output, and a stereo headphone jack socket for monitoring. The master output sockets can also be switched to follow the monitoring signal to provide a loudspeaker feed if required. In fact, the signal-routing capabilities within the mixer are very comprehensive, and most signals can be routed to most places -- which makes this an extremely flexible little machine!
The back panel of the console houses the digital I/Os and assorted other interfaces which would tend to be plugged and left alone. A pair of DIN sockets provide MIDI In and Out/Thru connections (see the 'MIDI' box), and a jack socket caters for a footswitch (its function is programmable, but it is normally used to step through the snapshot memories). Next are a pair of orange phono connectors providing the first of two S/PDIF digital I/Os, the output side of which can also access mix busses 5&6 in the digital format. A pair of TOSlink optical connectors provide the second domestic digital I/O, and access to mix busses 7&8. Both digital outputs are available at the same time and can be configured to output different signals.
The VM3100 Pro also includes a 25-way D-Sub connector furnishing eight channels of digital I/O via Roland's RMDB II interface. This is a bespoke format, but an optional converter box, the DIF-AT, translates between this Roland in-house configuration and either ADAT or TDIF, allowing a modular digital multitrack machine or computer workstation using either of these formats to interface directly with the mixer (unfortunately, the converter box is not yet available, so I wasn't able to test it for this review). An internal routing matrix permits the RMDB connector to output any of the eight busses, stereo mix buss, or post-fade channel direct outputs, so working with a multitrack should present no problems.
The only remaining facilities on the rear panel are a power switch and an IEC mains inlet. The internal power supply accepts mains voltages between 117 and 240V, and consumes 15 Watts (12W in the case of the basic model).
Taking Control
The operational controls on the VM3100 are sensibly organised, given the relatively compact nature of the machine. Across the front of the mixer are 11 short-throw faders, which have a distinctly firm feel to them. The first eight cater for the main mono analogue inputs, with the next two being stereo faders for inputs 9&10 and 11&12. The digital inputs can be routed to any pair of channel faders, but use 11&12 by default. The last fader has a red cap and acts as the master output fader. Channels can be stereo-linked if desired, and equaliser settings can be copied from one channel to another.
The first eight faders operate in one of four fader banks as selected via a couple of illuminated buttons to the left of the fader block. These assign control of either the eight mono analogue inputs (channels 1-8), the extra eight RMDB channels (13-20), or 16 MIDI channels (1-8 and 9-16). The MIDI mode sends the fader position as Continuous Controller 7 (Volume) data on each respective MIDI channel. Colour coding of these Fader Assign buttons is such that red denotes audio channel 1-8 and MIDI channels 1-8, whilst green indicates channels 13-20 for the RMDB, or MIDI channels 9-16.
Fader banking is a good way of packing a lot of facilities into a small space, but unless motorised faders are employed (so that faders physically jump to the new positions of recalled channels) there is inevitably going to be some confusion involved! The VM3100's faders are not motorised, so to make the system as friendly as possible, Roland have provided a menu page to display the stored fader
"...the signal-routing capabilities within the mixer are very comprehensive, and most signals can be routed to most places -- which makes this an extremely flexible little machine!."
Like most digital mixers, the VM3100 employs assignability to keep the number of operational controls (and therefore cost) to a minimum. Thus equalisation, aux sends, dynamics and routing facilities are all centrally controlled, being allocated to each channel by pressing an illuminated 'Select' button above each fader. These buttons also double as the channel Mute and Solo keys if the dedicated mute or solo mode buttons are pressed first (above the two Fader Assign keys to the left of the faders). When any channel is muted or soloed, the master Mute or Solo buttons flash to warn the user and, although it sometimes feels as if a lot of button-pushing is necessary to achieve anything, the process is quite logical. Software options allow the solo system to monitor a channel signal pre-equaliser, post-EQ (pre-fade), post-fade (AFL), or 'in-place' (post-pan).
Moving up to the top of the front panel, the small backlit LCD screen provides a wealth of information about the console settings, many of which can be altered with the four soft keys and soft knobs immediately below the screen, or by using the cursor buttons, data wheel, and yes/no buttons to the right of it. The top line of the display always shows the currently assigned (selected) channel number, the current snapshot (or locator) memory bank and scene number, the status of phantom power, whether the two internal effects processors are turned on or off, and a time display in either measures and beats or MIDI timecode.
A button to the left of the display (Level Meter), is the one to press when everything has gone horribly pear-shaped, or you are lost in the menus. This resets the display to its default condition of a set of bar-graph meters, one for each of the 12 analogue inputs or the eight RMDB inputs, according to the selected fader bank. These meters are inherently very small and can provide only a general idea of signal levels rather than any precise information, but they do have a software-switchable peak hold facility which helps a lot, and can be switched to show levels pre- or post-fader.
When in the meter mode, the four soft keys under the display access related screens: a set of output meters, for example (effects, monitors and stereo mix buss on one page; auxes, buss and digital outputs on the next; and the eight RMDB outputs on the last page). The second soft button recalls a channel overview page showing the stored fader, pan, effects, aux and equaliser control positions, plus routing settings and a channel bar-graph meter. The third and fourth soft buttons show channel and output fader placements respectively, with stored and physical positions clearly marked to help with nulling.
To the right of the display, a column of three equaliser knobs are labelled simply High, Mid and Low. However the equaliser is rather more flexible than it might appear, and turning any of the knobs automatically recalls the equaliser menu page which shows values for the gain of each band, its turnover or centre frequency, and the Q of the mid section. The top and bottom bands are shelving types with variable turnover frequencies, whilst the mid section has variable centre frequency and variable Q ranging from a broad 0.5 to a narrow 8 -- more than enough to sort out most problems. These parameters are selected and adjusted with the cursor keys and data wheel but glitches (zipper noise) can sometimes be heard as changes are made. Favourite equaliser settings can be stored and a load of preset starting points are also available.
Between the equaliser controls and the screen are three more buttons which provide direct access to facilities such as Pan, Effects and Aux sends, and Buss Assigns. These recall menus showing relevant settings for four channels at a time, with further sub-pages to show the other channels. The cursor keys select adjacent channels in order, but a complete page can be skipped if the cursor key is
EZ Routing
The VM3100 borrows the EZ Routing idea from the VS1680. Pressing the front-panel button with this title recalls a set of graphical menu screens to guide the user through setting up the console, determining (for example) which input signals appear on which channel faders, the uses of the internal busses (tape busses or auxiliary sends, for example), and which signals feed which outputs (direct or buss outs to the RMDB port, and buss, stereo mix or monitor feeds to the digital outputs, for example). If manually configuring the console is not your cup of tea, there are also a number of presets available for basic setups like four-track analogue recorders, sub-mixing, PA desk, mixdown, digital 8-track recording and so on. Custom configurations can also be saved to memory.
However, for the first couple of days I was frustrated with the VM3100 because I could find no way of storing my preferences -- the machine always rebooted to a factory standard. Eventually I discovered the secret in the errata notes with the manual: you have to press the Level Meter button after changing the preferences in order to store your new settings. Hmmm.... logical and intuitive, I don't think!
The number of buttons required on the control surface has been reduced by relegating many of the lesser-used operations to shifted functions which are accessed by first pressing a 'Shift' key to the right of the master fader. Even this simple facility has a number of software options to determine various ways in which the Shift button can be made to latch. I won't mention all the shifted functions but, for example, employing the shift key with the Level Meter button provides a much larger time display, and shifting the Effects buttons accesses the compressors.
To the right of the equaliser controls is the monitoring section. A knob sets the volume through the headphones (and potentially the master outputs, if selected to follow the monitor signal). Two buttons provide monitoring of either the mixer itself (Source) or a pre-selected digital input. Only one of the two digital inputs can be used at a time, and then only when the mixer is slaved to the input signal's word clock (which gives rise to a problem I'll come to towards the end of this review). A further limitation is that only sources with a sample rate of 44.1kHz can be accommodated -- the mixer will not operate at any other rate at all.
Effects & Dynamics
Above the Fader section is a printed table showing the four primary parameters of each of the main effects processors. These tabulated functions relate to four 'soft knobs' between the table and LCD panel. To the left of the table are two buttons accessing the effects processors, and to the right is another button (Patch Select) which cycles through the pre-programmed effects groups: Reverb, Delay, Voice Multi, Guitar Multi, and User.
The effects processors can be used as either a conventional send and return system (there is a dedicated effects return level control to the right of the table), or as an insert to any selected channel. Both models of the mixer have 21 reverb algorithms of various kinds (including gated reverbs and a variety of different halls and rooms), six assorted delays, nine combination effects for voices (programs like limiting with equalisation, or chorus with compression, for example), another nine similar combination programs for guitars, and five more for keyboards (including some ring modulators). However, the Pro version of the 3100 incorporates an additional set of five reverbs, two choruses, two pitch-shifters, six RSS effects (Roland Sound Space pseudo-surround processor), nine simulators (mics and guitar amplifiers), six dynamics effects, eight parametric and graphic equalisers, five assorted phaser, flanger and chorus effects, 50 and 60Hz hum cancellers, a centre canceller (for that karaoke effect), and some clever multi-band isolators and filters intended for use by DJs.
This is a comprehensive list, but it's certainly not quantity at the expense of quality. All of the effects work well -- particularly the delays and phasers/flangers. The reverbs are pretty usable too, although they don't have the quite the same degree of naturalness or genuine variation that might be found in a
The two compressors are accessed by using the shift function on the Effects buttons. They can be patched as inserts into any of the analogue or digital input channels and linked together for stereo operation, allowing insertion into any odd/even pair of channels, or the stereo mix output. Five parameters are available -- threshold, attack, release, ratio and make-up gain -- and the LCD shows either graphical representations of the control knobs, or a transfer graph. Unfortunately there is no gain-reduction metering at all, which is a great shame as it makes setting up the compressor a rather hit-and miss affair. A software bug also prevents the graphical displays from updating when the soft key labels are displayed -- as they have to be in order to switch the compressor in and out of circuit for judging the effectiveness of the processing. Fortunately this is not a problem which affects the menus of other facilities (the review machine was running software version 1.00).
In use, the compressor worked well, although a programme-dependent release would have been useful on occasions. User settings can be stored in memory and a whole set of preset configurations are available. I think users should be very wary of falling into the trap of always using presets without understanding how and why they have been determined, although at least it is possible to examine the preset configurations and fine-tune them as necessary, for those so inclined.
In Use
Overall, the VM3100 Pro performs very well and, once you are familiar with the operating system, is relatively easy to use. The equalisers sound typically digital, but are perfectly functional for all but the most demanding of professional requirements. The compressors are effective with flexible routing, and the effects are really very good indeed, given the asking price.
However, there are a few aspects of the VM3100 which concern me. The most serious is in the way the mixer interfaces with a stereo digital recorder. Roland have only provided a digital return to the The scene memory buttons also double up as locator memories for controlling an external recorder or sequencer. Pressing the shift key in conjunction with the Banks button engages the Locator mode ('Loc' is displayed at the top of the LCD instead of a bank number), and the stored time value follows the measures/beats or MTC selection.
Five buttons below the VM3100's cursor keys provide access to the snapshot (scene) memories, which are organised as eight identifiable banks of four memories (the fifth button, labelled Banks, calls up a menu to switch between the banks). Once the mixer is set up as required, simply pressing one of the four memory buttons saves the configuration, and the button illuminates. Subsequent presses of that (or any other illuminated) scene button will recall the setup, although there is a delay of about half a second before the changes are applied. Snapshot memories are erased by pressing the relevant button in conjunction with the Shift key. The mixer is not capable of internal dynamic automation, but if fader movements are recorded to a MIDI sequencer, an automated mixdown can be performed.
The scene memory buttons also double up as locator memories for controlling an external recorder or sequencer. Pressing the shift key in conjunction with the Banks button engages the Locator mode ('Loc' is displayed at the top of the LCD instead of a bank number), and the stored time value follows the measures/beats or MTC selection.
Without a sample-rate converter being incorporated in the monitor return (which is unlikely at this price level) or there being one on the input of the external recorder, there is no obvious way around this problem. In a professional system a central word-clock generator would be used to synchronise
2-track return facility in the monitoring but being unable to make full use of it is a little irksome..."
The other major worry is that the digital outputs appear to have a fixed word length of 24 bits. Any Minidisc, CD-R, older DAT machine or other 16-bit device recording the digital output would necessarily truncate bits 17-24 and, without suitable dithering in place, the 16-bit mastered result will suffer quantising distortion and granular reverb tails!
I contacted Roland UK about these concerns and they admitted their existence, and suggested a couple of workarounds for the first problem, although whether these will prove effective for you rather depends on how you like to work. One solution would be to employ the mixer's Scene snapshot memories to set up two modes, one for monitoring the mastering recorder's output (mixer locked to incoming master recorder), and the other for outputting to the recorder (mixer on internal clock and the digital 2-track return deselected). However, using Scenes to switch between monitoring and recording uses up your scene memories, and is still not as instant or convenient as simply toggling the 2-track return switch on an analogue mixer. This isn't really a very satisfactory solution in my opinion.
An alternative suggestion is to bring the 2-track return for monitoring your master back in through a spare pair of analogue inputs and, using the very flexible routing arrangements in the VM3100,
The Roland VM3100 outputs fader positions as channel controller information for remote level control of other MIDI devices, and accepts MIDI program change information to recall scene (snapshot) memories. In addition, it will accept continuous controller data for automated level control of the mixer itself. Several transport control options are incorporated using the dedicated transport buttons at the front of the mixer, including three customisable user settings, a sequencer-specific mode, and standard MMC. As usual, all of the VM3100's settings can be downloaded over MIDI as a data dump, and previously saved data can be re-imported.
On the subject of the digital output, Roland admit that signals will indeed be truncated to 16 bits if the VM3100 is connected digitally to any 16-bit device (in other words, many of the things you might want to connect it to!). However, their VS1680 also lacked proper 24- to 16-bit dithering options on its first release, and these have now been made available to the VS by means of a 'mastering package' software upgrade. As the VM3100 is derived in part from the VS1680, it might be reasonable to assume that such an upgrade could follow for the 3100. Bear in mind, however, that there is no news of such an upgrade yet, and without it the VM3100's facilities for mastering digitally to (say) CD-R, are rather flawed.
None of this, of course, affects mastering via the analogue outputs of the mixer. You can still master to a digital recorder (DAT, Minidisc, CD-R and so on) using your recorder's own A-D converters to produce a correctly dithered signal for the recording. The recorder's digital output signal can then be returned to the mixer for off-tape monitoring, and the mixer will be happily clocked from the recorder, which would be running under its own (hopefully stable) internal clock. This solves both the bit truncation and word-clock howlround problems, but it does mean your signal is converted to analogue when it leaves the mixer and then back to digital as it enters the recorder, which you may feel defeats the point of having a digital mixer in the first place! This is, however, a matter of personal taste, and may not bother you if you feel the end results are of sufficiently high quality, or if you master to analogue tape anyway!
Whilst it is highly unlikely that a version of the VM3100 will become available with asynchronous digital inputs -- the ideal, if expensive, solution to the problem -- software updates allowing the 2-track return button to select a stereo analogue input, and to provide the necessary dithering, should be fairly easy and quick to implement. If these updates are released, this will be a smashing little mixer which would deserve to do very well indeed.
Until then, the bottom line is that although rather flawed in its intended role as the hub of a small digital studio, the VM3100 still represents reasonable value for money. If you consider the mixer as a simple, flexible and well-specified analogue console (analogue in and out, that is), but with good built-in effects and processing, MIDI control and 32 snapshot memories, it remains an attractive proposition for a great many potential users.

07/29/2012, Waterford on the Hudson, NY
We got into the Waterford around 2PM Saturday. The Flight of Five locks went well. It's the largest vertival drop in the distance in the world. As always, the Lockmasters were friendly and helpful. Waterford is another boat friendly community. Today there is a farmers market here on the waterfront. You can stay here as is most places for free, except here they charge for electric and shower facilities, but $15.00 per day isn't bad. It's rainy again today, so we'll sit here another night and head out tomorrow morning. We'll go about 1/2 way to Catskill, then in there on Tuesday and become a real sailboat again....TTFN
07/27/2012, Lock 7
Well folks, this is it. We've traveled the legnth of the Eire in less time than we figured. We've got 11 miles and the 5 locks at the end that will drop us almost 200ft. It's been great meeting new friends and seeing places that are marked in History. As one chapter closes, another begins! Tomorrow we'll be on The Hudson River. Today we learned Lock 9 was closed. The lock tender at Lock 10 told us it was closed, but if we took our time it might be open when we arrived. Last night the police were chasing someone and trapped them on the Lock, which is adjacent to a dam. The genieus decided to jump in to avoid capture.....they fished his body out around 11AM this morning....Darwin at work......More tomorrow from THe Hudson!.....TTFN
07/25/2012, Amsterdam, NY
Temp in the low 80's, a cool south breeze, and the boat is running great. What else is there? It wa a short day today. We got here around noon. We're tied up on the wall just south of Lock 11. We walked over and watched several other boat lock through. There were some real clusters. Made us feel good about our technique locking through...The Lockmaster told us about a good resteraunt, so we wnet ther foe supper. He was right on,,,,an Italian place with great foon and cold beer! There is suppose to be some sever wether comming through here tonight and tomorrow, so if it hits, we'll just ride it out here. If not, we plan to head for Lock 7. Nothing else new to report, so, TTFN

We got all our work finished yesterday, so we decidid to stay here another night and rest all day. We both enjoyed it. It's started rainig here yesterday afternoon and didn't quit till about 6PM this evening. About 1:30 this morning, the tornado warning sirens started blowing, and then they started again around noon today. At times it just poured.....Tomorrow we'll get back on the road to Amsterdam, NY. There will be only 2 locks tomorrow. We'll spend the night there, then as far as lock 7 Thursday. If all goes well, Friday we'll do the last 6 locks on the Erie then spend a few days at Waterford, NY, which a few hundred yards from The Hudson River.......TTFN

We spent today doing little jobs that needed to get done. Cleaning and some repair work. I cleaned and checked the engine cooling strained. It was dertier than I have ever seen it. I checked the impeller and found it was missing 3 blades,so that got replaced. Checked and tightened the rudder and drive shaft packing, Finally found a water leak that I have been searching for, for four weeks.( say that really fast 5 times) It turned out to be a crack in the fitting comming out of the water heater.....The area is finally getting some badly needed rain. I love sitting in the cockpit and watching the lightning and litstening to the rain on the boat. Met a local racer this morning and he came back with his son tonight. Had a great visit and swaped sailing stories. He even brought a gift of a liter of imported beer....yummy-yummy.....I think we are going to spend another day here. We're ahead of schedule and the dock, water, and electric and all free.....Why leave.....We don't want to get to the Chesepeke (sp?) until late August or Sept. so we have plenty of time to goof off. THe picture is of the loce in Little Falls, NY. It's the largest vertical change on the entire canal system. It's 40.5 feet.

It was a good day today! The new transmission work well. It's been so long since it started getting sloppy, that I'd forgotted how nice it is to have one that works the way it should. We got here around 3PM. A trawler was just comming in so we docked right behind him. Within a few hours 3 more sailboats came in so we offered to let one of them raft up for the night. They are all off to some race in Lake Onterio. A local coupe came by, and after chatting a while, they asked us to go to dinner with them.They took us to a really nice place about 15 mi fro where we were docked. Great food, the chef actually came out to make sure everything was good. He told me that the supper I ordered was actually going to be the home page of their website because he thought it was the best looking meal he had ever cooked. So before serving it to me he took several pictures. Not really a big deal but I thought it was kinda neat..... It's suppose to be hot tomorrow so why not take advantage of free dock, water,and electricity for an extra day or 2. The town has a great museum and art gallary tha Vicki wants to see, and I'm happy just sitting here and count trains.......TTFN

'Friday Night Lights' Why We Love Eric and Tami TaylorMichelle Lamar
Why do some many people love Eric and Tami Taylor, the central characters on Friday Night Lights? Fans and critics love Kyle Chandler (Eric Taylor) and Connie Britton (Tami Taylor) because they show us the best part of marriage, the way marriage SHOULD be.
The writers of Friday Night Lights were able to turn the mundane moments in marriage and elevated ordinary life a little. Chandler and Britton were perfect casting for their roles and if you haven't seen FNL, you need to go back to season one to watch the whole series!
Friday Night Lights wrapped up its fifth and final season on DirecTV on Wednesday night. The fifth season will begin airing on NBC in April. FNL fans are mourning the loss today of Eric and Tami Taylor, who we've come to love and relate to over the past five seasons. Here are some of my favorite moments from the DirectTV finale of Friday Night Lights season 5, and the end of the series. SPOILER ALERT! Don't read any more if you don't want to know!
A few of the many reasons we love Tami and Eric Taylor.
1. Because Tami Taylor is a strong woman. Tami Taylor lays out the reasons they need to follow HER job, that it's time to follow her opportunity. Connie Britton gives a powerful argument: "It's my turn, babe. I have loved you and you have loved me, and we have compromised, both of us. For your job. And now it's time for us to think about doing that for my job. Because otherwise what am I going to tell my daughter?"
2. Because Eric Taylor is a good man but he's tough. Kyle Chandler's Eric Taylor gives Matt, his daughter Julie's boyfriend a clear answer when he asks for Julie's hand in marriage. Coach Taylor tells Matt:
"The answer to your question is no. The answer to your question is going to be no today. It's going to be no tomorrow. And it'll probably be no until the sun burns out."
3. Because Eric and Tami Taylor make real marriage and real life interesting!
Here's a clip from FNL, when Tami tells Eric she's pregnant.
The clip below is "The Best Of" Coach Eric Taylor. I have a total crush on Kyle Chandler, who plays Coach Eric Taylor in Friday Night Lights. But even if you're not crushing on Kyle Chandler, you'll fall in love with FNL.

May 30, 2016
Montgomery, Alabama Alabama's new law setting stricter requirements for abortion doctors likely won't be enforced this year.
ACLU and Planned Parenthood attorneys challenging the law and state attorneys defending the law told a federal judge Friday that they want the law kept on hold until March 24, 2014, while they develop their cases. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson indicated he would go along with the timeline proposed by both sides.
The new law requires doctors at abortion clinics to have approval to admit patients to nearby hospitals. The law was supposed to take effect July 1, but the plaintiffs sued, saying it would close three of Alabama's five licensed abortion clinics. The suit prompted Thompson to temporarily stop the law from taking effect. His order had been due to expire Aug. 15.

Well, we got our Disc Truckers. I had them give them to us with the steering tube uncut since they insisted on cutting it to the length they thought it should be with no extra. This is from them taking a measurement from a different bike we were measured on to determine frame size. The steering tubes were going to be cut before we had seen them or sat on them for the first time. So I said no.
Of course this is going to take a lot more time on my end to get the bikes in riding condition. I've got a star nut installer and cutting guide ordered. Then there is the matter of spacers.
Surly Truckers come with four 10mm spacers. On my bike this leaves the bars a little over an inch lower than the top of the seat. My bb to seat distance is pretty well dialed in, but I will have to do some careful fitting on my wife (who is very new to riding) before I determine hers.
So I have two questions.
1. As a starting point, where would you position the handlebars in relation to the seat?
2. After that has been determined, how much steering tube would you leave above the stem for the initial cut?
Right now with the tube uncut, there is about 70mm of tube left above the stem with the 40mm of spacers underneath. I don't have any other spacers and the star nut is not installed, so as long as I have to wait for everything I might as well make a cut as soon as everything arrives to make the steering tube a reasonable length.
I would like to have plenty of room for adjustment for our first riding season while not having an unreasonable amount of steering tube above the stem. Stems might also get changed in the near future. The stems that come stock have 40mm of space on the tube. I don't know if this changes with different stems or if this is a standard size. I haven't touched a bike since quill stems.
Thanks for any info and advice.

This question already has an answer here:
I am trying to debug a JavaScript script that gets read in a Firefox extension and executed. I only can see errors via the Firebug console (my code is invisible to Firebug), and it's reporting a "unterminated string literal."
I checked the line and the lines around it and everything seems fine-parentheses, braces, and quotes are balanced, etc. What are other possible causes that I should be looking for?

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Welcomes The Bachelorette's Jillian Harris Tonight
March 14, 2010 09:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
Fans of The Bachelorette's spunky star Jillian Harris will be delighted tonight to see her working in her element as an interior designer when she appears on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Harris is teaming up with Ty Pennington and the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition crew in Slaughterville, Oklahoma to build a new home for the Skaggs family. Harris chats about her excited reaction to the offer to work on the show, the challenges of designing a bedroom for a five-year-old girl, and whether or not fans can expect to see her on future episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition…
As if dating 25 gorgeous men on national television as ABC's The Bachelorette wasn't enough, Jillian Harris has landed another dream reality TV gig: working as a designer on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Viewers will have the opportunity to see the restaurant designer in her own element as she takes on the challenge of decorating a bedroom for five-year-old, Merit Skaggs. On tonight's episode, Ty Pennington and the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition gang build a new home for the Skaggs family, whose son Jhett underwent a heart transplant procedure at 10 months old. The opportunity is a dream come true for The Bachelorette's Jillian Harris.
According to Harris, she always thought, "If I am ever going to be on TV, what I really want to be is a designer on 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.' But it is not easy to get your foot in the door." After appearing on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Harris got her opportunity. "In August, I got a call asking me if I wanted to do a guest appearance as a designer on the show. I flipped out, put the phone on mute and screamed and jumped up and down and was crying. It is funny how things work out," she says.
On tonight's episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Harris' main responsibility is designing a room for Jhett's five-year old sister, Merit. "Merit's room I did on my own. As a restaurant designer, I think my designs are great and they need to appeal to the masses and last 30 years. I struggled with designing Merit's room because it has to be over the top. It has to appeal to just her. It has to get just her excited. Normally, I would be designing with trendy colors and it would be very feminine and possibly something that could make it into a magazine. But on the show, you have to make it extreme," Harris says.
Despite the chaos and fast-paced nature of the show, Harris loved every minute of her experience on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. "The house is built in seven days. That blew me away. I love that idea of chaos. Of running around and picking up colors and making last minute decisions. The whole time I was so stressed: Is Merit going to love the room? I wanted her to walk in and her heart to melt. It was such an incredible experience," Harris says.
Can fans expect to see Harris making future appearances on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition? "I would absolutely love to do something with 'Extreme' again. It changed me a little bit. It was such a positive experience," she says.

The "Asian Women Don't Get Breast Cancer" Campaign
Posted By Ethel Navales On October 16, 2013 @ 5:09 pm In Health & Lifestyle | Comments Disabled
Earlier in the month, we wrote about why Asian women need to care about breast cancer [1] despite the myth that breast cancer is not a worry for Asian women. Luckily, we aren't the only ones to take note of this issue.
The National Asian Breast Cancer Initiative is the first national organization dedicated to raising awareness that breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among Asian women in the United States.
NABCI is a not-for-profit project put together by the efforts of Privy Groupe, the Asian Pacific Community Fund, the Asian and Pacific Islander National Cancer Survivors Network and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum.
This month, timed perfectly with breast cancer awareness month, NABCI is creating a social media campaign called the "Asian women don't get breast cancer" campaign which aims to shine light on the relationship between Asians and breast cancer.
The title of the campaign is honor of breast cancer activist Susan Shinagawa:
In 1991, Susan noticed a lump in her breast during her monthly self-exam. Her mammogram came out negative, but a sonogram revealed that the lump was a solid mass. Two doctors in different states diagnosed Susan with fibrocystic breast disease–lumpy breasts–and both initially refused to do a biopsy because, "Asian women don't get breast cancer." After the biopsy, Susan was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and opted for a modified radical mastectomy of her right breast and six months of chemotherapy. Ten years later, a routine mammogram revealed that Susan had an unrelated breast cancer in her left breast, for which she underwent a second mastectomy.
Susan is still in active treatment and has become one of the nation's leading Asian breast cancer activists. Susan helped co-found the Asian & Pacific Islander National Cancer Survivors Network (APINCSN), which is a partner of NABCI. To this day, Susan still meets Asian women (mostly young) diagnosed with breast cancer who were initially told by their healthcare providers that "Asian women don't get breast cancer."
To make a direct donation to NABCI, checks can be made payable to the "Asian Pacific
Community Fund FBO NABCI".
Asian Pacific Community Fund
1145 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 105
Los Angeles, CA 90017
All funds will be used towards the following goals:
● build a multi-language information and resource directory website at asianbreastcancer.org
● produce printed in-language materials that can be distributed to breast cancer outreach centers throughout the U.S.
● solicit and create a Youtube channel for Asian breast cancer survivor stories in multiple languages
● create a medical exchange for U.S. and Asia-based breast cancer doctors to share best practices for detecting and treating breast cancer for Asian women
● organize a national breast cancer awareness campaign targeting Asian women in the U.S. (especially immigrants)
● become an advocate for public policy and research that relate to breast cancer and Asian women in the U.S. and abroad
Remember to check out all the reasons [1] this issue needs to be recognized in our community. Tell your loved ones to get checked and help spread the word! Like this campaign on facebook.com/asianbreastcancer [2] and follow them at @aznbreastcancer. Find out more at www.asianbreastcancer.org [3].

Update Notes
Updated on: 12/13/2015
Since we last visited GapeLand...
I've been to Disneyland and I've seen "The Land of the Lost." Put those two together and you get Gape Land, where chicks' assholes are opened up so wide that Mickey Mouse, Goofy and The Little Mermaid can all get lost inside.
The idea of my cock delving deep inside these hotties might resonate more directly with the above statement given that I've nicknamed my penis The Little Mermaid (not because it's small, but because I like to dress it up in a red wig and a seashell bikini). However, given how close up GapeLand gets you to these wide-open butts, no one should have any problem imagining something of theirs plugging its hole.
So far, there are 197 videos and 197 sets of pictures. The flicks can be downloaded in a few MP4 formats, including one that allows you to enjoy hardcore action in Full HD. The pics are always sharp and high-res. The chicks appear to be Eastern European and the guys waste very little time getting them naked and gaping, making sure to show us how wide those buttholes can spread open.
The design is very clean and navigation isn't an issue. Each scene is represented by a thumbnail and clicking on the image allows you to check out a large set of high-res photos and download the video. You can also go ahead and rate the scene on a five-star scale or post a comment. It appears that commenting by members is fairly active, which is good to see. You can also use content tags to find something specific and save everything to a favorites section.
The website continues to grow, which is great news for anal lovers. It's given us two new movies and just as many photo sets in the last month. However, should you want more porn (and why wouldn't you?) there are the bonus sites, including some that are part of the 21 Sextury network. Among them are Asshole Fever, Anal Teen Angels and Deepthroat Frenzy. Another bunch of sites from another network are yours to discover as well.
With lots of high-quality content, Gape Land is a raunchy site that's worth joining. Get yourself a membership if you like hardcore butt-banging. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 100% Date: 09/25/2014
Gape Land is one of the best sites. Pics are full zipped and high res. The films are great ( full hd ) with beautyful actors. The price is good- and support- if you need - top!
Score: 90% Date: 02/26/2011
Another one of 21st Sextury's sites that feature barely legal Russian cuties... Gape Land is certainly more extreme than Anal Teen Angels with the girls taking cock(s), toys and fists up their arse, deep, hard and well and truly relentlessly: it really is the kind of site the sluts at Anal Teen Angels graduate to when they're used to being sodomized. Double anal and DPs, huge toys, prolapses, ass to mouth, anal streching, gaping and face fucking... this site has it all for fans of extreme hard core anal action, and that's before you consider that every single girl is stunning.

National 4-H Council and 'Biggest Loser' Finalist Joe Ostaszewski Promoted Healthy Living in the River Valley
Joe Ostaszewski, a finalist on "The Biggest Loser," says the show saved his life. Now he's teaming up with the National 4-H Council for a cross-country bike ride to save kids from the dangers of childhood obesity.
Ostaszewski and his Wear Your Soul project made a stop in Fort Smith on Saturday, Aug, 23, as part of his "Ride it Forward" fitness campaign. Ostaszewski joined Crawford County 4-H'ers and rode 1 miles down Garrison Avenue. The ride ended at the National Historic Site where Ostaszewski talked with riders about the National 4-H Healthy Living Initiative, healthy eating and exercise habits, and asked riders to take a Healthy Living Pledge.
The former Florida State lineman tipped the scales at nearly 370 pounds. He told the Ocala (Florida) Star Banner newspaper in 2013 that he and his twin brother Henry, who weighed about 360 pounds, began getting back in shape and applied for the "The Biggest Loser." Joseph got the casting call. In the end, the effort was worth it. He lost 147 pounds in six months.

2013 Crawford County Farm Family of the Year
Marty and Teresa Arnold live outside of Kibler and farm in the Kibler Bottoms near and along the Arkansas River. Marty has been farming for over 27 years and has seen many changes take place in the farming industry throughout those years. The Arnolds are row crop farmers and raise wheat, corn, soybeans and milo. Some of their acreage is irrigated and one of their goals is to add more irrigation on their land.
When the river floods their land, several acres of crops are sacrificed and yields are reduced as the result. Marty has tried to plant earlier maturing varieties later in the year to help combat the problem.
Due to the flooding issues, the Arnolds have moved away from fall plowing because of the erosion that can occur and have converted most of the farm to minimum tillage. Marty says that less tillage not only helps with conservation of soil, water and energy, but also allows him more time to fish.

Organic Tapioca Syrup: Providing Wholesome Sweetness to the Organic Cocoa Cassava Bar
In this age of processed foods and beverages, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is the king of sweeteners. HFCS is a boon for food manufacturers because it's sweeter than common sugar, cheap to produce and easy to transport. However, high fructose corn syrup is a bane for your health, as it is one of the worst things you can consume.
High fructose corn syrup can destroy your health in many different ways. This chemically-converted sweetener is the main source of calories in the American diet and is also believed to be one of the major contributors to the obesity epidemic.
It's virtually impossible to avoid this unhealthy sweetener because it's found in the most common foods and beverages, including soda, fruit juice, cereal, ice cream, cookies, soups, sauces, even in diet foods and that supposedly wholesome nutritional bar.
Dr. Joseph Mercola is flabbergasted at the fact that most of the energy bars still contain high fructose corn syrup when it is metabolized into fat faster than any other sugar-based sweetener. How can these food bars claim to be ideal snacks when they contain something that slowly destroys health?
Dr. Mercola takes sweeteners and food bars very seriously. That is why his new natural energy bar, the Organic Cocoa Cassava Bar, does not contain HFCS, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. The only sweetener found in his Organic Cocoa Cassava Bars is organic tapioca syrup.
Tapioca syrup, also known as cassava syrup, is a unique and naturally-produced sweetener made by converting the cassava tuber or root into syrup using natural enzymes. Tapioca syrup provides a sweetness, body and humectancy that's similar to high fructose corn syrup but this natural sweetener is hypoallergenic and not genetically- modified.
Tapioca syrup provides a hint of natural sweetness to the Organic Cocoa Cassava Bar, and at the same time, keeps it moist and naturally helps preserve the product's shelf life.
The organic cocoa cassava bar succeeds where most energy bars fail – using a natural and wholesome sweetener. But this natural energy bar doesn't just provide wholesome sweetness and serious taste; it's also densely packed with serious nutrition and backed by a USDA-certified organic seal.
Don't settle for inferior energy bars that just rely on sleek marketing but offer no nutritional value. Try an Organic Cocoa Cassava Bar now and discover one of the best health bargains available!

release description
DJ Center is one third of the Rootdown NYC Soundsystem, and was instrumental in bringing the legendary long-playing Los Angeles party to New York. Alongside residencies in New York City, Center often guests in California and has toured Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, in support of last year's "Force of Life" 12" release (with former group Open Thought) on Wide Hive Records.
In addition to his own nights, Center has been found spreading his soulful palate alongside notable DJs Bobbito, Spinna, Rob Swift, Qool Marv, J-Boogie, Numark, Large Professor, Pete Rock, and Grandmaster Flash, among others.
Feel What I'm Feelin' marks the new CD release that marries the facets of Hip Hop, Soul, and Jazz into a double-disc mix.
Disc one (HipHopSoul Side), features exclusives from Pharoahe Monch & SA-RA, Raheem DeVaughn (JazzyJeff/Touch of Jazz), The Last Poets, and remixes from the likes of 4Hero & YamWho, on Dj Krush's "Meiso" (featuring Black Thought & Malik B of the Roots), and John Legend's "Used to Love U", respectively. Also in the mix, Center unearths slept-on b-sides like Digable Planet's "Dedicated" and Q-Tip's "Money Maker".
Disc Two (Jazz in the Color Purple), finds Center in deep concentration, weaving jazz rarities that provided inspiration for the soundtracks from which the Golden Era Hip Hop drew. However, this mix is not a sample-based guessing game; it is simply harmonious soul vibes from start to finish. This eclectic mix will undoubtedly have you feelin' what he's feelin' and more.
CD-1: Glorious (Rmx) - Pharoahe Monch/SA-RA
CD-1: Dedicated - Digable Planets
CD-1: Used to Love U (Yam Who Mix) - John Legend
CD-2: Queen of the Nile - Young Holt Unlimited

I know this is not related to the theater of war and I seem to be late to the party but I just got the game and am playing the single player part right now.
I am playing Europe and just attacked the US, was loosing and so I used my wpm on them. They proceeded to respond by nuking the heck out of me for the rest of the game. They used their wmd 6 times!!! even 2 times in short succession (nuked my front line and when my reinforcements arrived, nuked my spawn point). What the heck, is this working as intended? Is there any other way to preventing this but to just not use my wmd so they can't use theirs? Is there a trick to faster recharge wmds? Because mine wasn't recharged yet.
any help would be appreciated

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
I live in florida and I came to philadelphia for vacation. I received citation in the state of pennsylvania for tresspassing @ community pool where my friends live.
Thank you
It will become a conviction and will be searchable and available on a database. I suggest instead of agreeing to plead guilty and paying the fine, you may want to consider consulting with a PA attorney and see if you can do a diversion program which allows the court to dismiss the charge if you complete their requirements, That usually is some community service, a fine, and staying out of trouble for a set amount of time.
Will it show up on my record as a criminal case? I came to US as a student and now working on a work visa. Does it affect my future employment or my immigration status?
It will appear as a Misdemeanor Conviction and because it is not a felony it should not affect your Visa status or ability to stay, re enter and/or work/school
But it will appear as a conviction
I was concerned that it may affect my work status or to reenter the country. Thank you for clarification.
I received the citation on 22nd june but I was asked to call the magistrate office on or after 26th of june. When i called the magistrate office, they said that I have 10 days to respond. So would it be from the day I received the citation or will it be 10 days from 26th of June?
It would have been 10 days from the date of the citation. Unless they specified differently
Ok. So if I plead not guilty, will that take it off from the record ? What would you suggest me to do?
As I stated you may be able to get it dismissed with a deferred adjudication. That means you are placed on probation and then when that is successfully completed then this matter is dismissed.
I suggest you can either consult with a local attorney or try to see it the DA will work out the plea with you directly
How can I contact the DA to workout the plea directly? I am here in US for the past 7 years and this is the first time I received a citation. Please bare with me as I have no idea how to take it forward.
That's fine. I am trying my best to give you the information.
There is a DA in every county. So you should look up the phone number for the Office of the District Attorney in the county where you got the citation
Now, they do not have to talk to you. But they might and it is worth a try. Tell them you need to work this out.
Thank you for the advice. I will try to reach out to the DA and if not I will talk to a local attorney. If have any questions later, can I get back to you on this?
Yes, you can just post it here if you need more information.
Thank you and good luck
Thanks a lot. Have a good day.
You too.
