With the state tobacco tax going up 50 cents, how will the money be divided?
Michigan schools will get 20 cents of the 50, and 25 cents will go into the state's so called General Fund which pays for a variety of state services. Four cents will go into the Healthy Michigan Fund, which pays for a variety of health related costs. Some of the Healthy Michigan Fund will go for smoking cessation programs but not all of it. The final penny of the tax is earmarked for Wayne County and it's indigent health care program.
State health officials expect the teenage smoking rate to drop with this higher tax. The last time the tax went up, teen smoking fell of by 28 percent.
If older adults join the teens in giving up the habit, the state hopes to save even more health care dollars that won't be needed to treat the illnesses associated with tobacco.
The new tax takes effect on Aug. 1, and will generate over $292 million new dollars for the state budget.

Body of Valerie Rae Bradshaw found after boat crash at Lake Powell, police say
LAKE POWELL AZ - Authorities say they've recovered the body of one of the women missing since a boat flipped over last week on Lake Powell.
Kane County deputies say the body of 29-year-old Sandy resident Valerie Rae Bradshaw was found just after 7 p.m. Sunday in about 340 feet of water.
Bradshaw was one of 13 people aboard a motorboat that crashed into a houseboat on Thursday morning near Dangling Rope Marina. The boat driver's 57-year-old wife, Marilyn Jackman, died.
Crews had been searching for Bradshaw and the boat driver's 22-year-old daughter, Jessica Jackman.
Kane County deputies say they plan to resume their search Monday in hopes of finding Jessica Jackman in the same area.

Comments about ... Medieval Knight Favor Kit (for 1 Guest):
We used these for the boys at my son\'s Knights and Princesses party (we got the princess favors for the girls). They have a LOT of fun toys and my son loved them. It was a great value - lots of items for a very low price. They were shipped very quickly and nicely packaged. I would definitely recommend them.

"All right. I typically hate celebrity fragrances."
That is how Adam Levine's first video for his two new fragrances begins (which you can watch below).
Levine promises that his fragrance Levine, completely different from every other celebrity fragrance out there: "It's very basic, very classic. The anti-celebrity fragrance, very simple."
Add in some shots of motorcycles, bondage, flowers and Adam Levine – and you've got a fragrance video!
I must say that I really do love the bottle. Adam Levine fragrances are sold in 1.0, 1.7, and 3.4 fl. oz. sizes at suggested retail prices of $35, $45, and $65, respectively. The fragrances are available at Macy's as well as other major retailers.

Vetro :: Shooting through glass
Glass is an amorphous solid material which is often transparent and reflective.
When photographing through glass we're able to naturally super impose another image like a reflection, which adds a new layer of dimension making possible to visually explain the environment a little better and definitely adding more depth to the scene.
Here is a visual exploration of beauty and fashion portraits photographed through glass. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Portraits done in black and white brings an additional layer of complexity to their subject.
The absence of colour can give photographs ranging from those with a wide flowing spectrum of soft grey tones to those with dramatic extremes of light and dark.

Unusual Portraits by Caesar Lima
Unusual Portraits
Los Angeles-based photographer Caesar Lima's portraits come with a certain choose-your-own-adventure quality to them, emphasized by Lima's myriad of protagonists from mad scientist to Hollywood seductress. A self-proclaimed non-conformist, the Sao Paulo-born photographer says he has always gone against the creative grain. His unique style has earned him multiple awards and accolades, including most recently four IPA Awards (2013), One Eyeland Award (2013), Px3 Award (2012), IPA Awards (2011-2012), and Lürzer's Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers (2011). Working with clients like Sony, T-Mobile, K-Swiss, and Wella, Lima says to make a good portrait is a challenge—there has to be plenty of expression, mood and attitude to create that one winning image.

- Black Canvas "Like many things in life, photography is a delicate balance between art and science. You need to master both to succeed. If you refuse to learn the artistic side, then you end up making mechanical decisions that are lifeless and boring. I like to break artistic boundaries by working in complete darkness, in opposite of a painter which will start with a "white canvas", a photographer should start with a "black canvas".Beginning from total darkness may seem difficult, it's like light painting, using light to sculpt the scene, it creates a beautiful and dramatic look similar in fashion to a Baroque painting. I have successfully transferred this technique to an array of different work ranging from beauty, fashion, and conceptual. " 2012 Advertising, Fashion, Photography

Athletes - Sports Photograhy by Caesar Lima
Unique stylized fashion photography of professional athletes
They make us happy, proud and sad. We know their names and life stories. They break the records and set the new ones. We follow their every move, we cherish any chance to get close to them. They persuade us to buy the famous brands, we listen to them. They are rich and glamourous, we want to be like them. There are very few people on Earth who have reached the status of modern gods. The worldwide media made them the focal point of nearly six billion human souls, who love and worship them. They wield an enormous power over the admiring masses and precious few of them use this power to make a difference in the lives of others.

Faces of Beauty
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but over the years there have been some beauties that almost all beholders and critics have been able to agree on. What makes somebody beautiful? Is it a trend, does it change? Does the media influence the concept of "feminine beauty"? Is natural beauty ever better than constructed beauty? We see how powerful the media is in sculpting the perception of what the perfect body should look like. Less than hundred years ago, ads used to stress that woman should back on the pounds for bikini season. It used to mean that having a curvy figure symbolized good health, wealth, and greater sexual appeal. Now the fade seems to be that there is no such thing as being too thin.
Many of us carry around the notion that other people are more emotionally and intellectually stable than we are. Is this true? Although sometimes our appearance can dictate how others see us, it's really the confidence and energy we put into our career and personal life that shows others who we truly are. Therefore, put your best face forward by "knowing" you look and feel the best you can. People will be able to feel your assuredness and will assume you are feeling your best, even if you're not. Confidence is truly the definition of being beautiful! So go ahead, strut your stuff. 2010 Fashion, Photography, Fashion Styling

We've had six different presidents, five head football coaches, and hundreds of wins and through it all, one thing has remained the same. Alvin Hollins has bled Orange and Green, but as he begins to pack up his office, three decades of memories come racing back.
"It's gonna be bittersweet because you never know when you're gonna walk out," Hollins said.
You won't find many people who know more about FAMU sports than Hollins, and you won't find many people who have more friends on campus than Alvin. His coaches all loved him, and he loved working with them. Most of them at least.
"The secret to longevity is to work with everybody, even the people you want to strangle on occasion. You need to work with folks," he said.
"I call him a walking encyclopedia. He's been around and understands, he's a good resource person," said current FAMU football coach Joe Taylor.
Alvin began his tenure on August 1, 1979. He's witnessed the win against Miami, the highs and lows of success and failure, and he's been there to document it all.
Now it's Alvin Hollins turn to head to the sidelines. After 30 years on the field, it's time to do something else. FAMU is a better place because of Alvin Hollins, but it won't be the same without him.
Keith Miles, the radio voice of FAMU summed it by saying, "We couldn't let this day pass without saying how much we appreciate the hard work and years of service Alvin Hollins has given all of us."

I will graduate in June this year from college. In my college life had a little boring. My one day life is: going to class, class over, going to class, class over...There is a lake not far from my school. I often like to rent a bike and ride to there with my friends on weekends. The scenery is beautiful. We love to sit down on the grass and play games such as playing card.

Tom Cruise's 'All You Need Is Kill' Retitled 'Edge of Tomorrow;' Check Out The Comic-Con Poster
Posted on Monday, July 15th, 2013 by Germain Lussier
Doug Liman's upcoming sci-fi action film starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt has been given a new title. Originally called All You Need Is Kill, which also is the name of the original graphic novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, the film has now been renamed Edge of Tomorrow. It's definitely a less confusing, more catchy title for the June 2014 release. The film is about a futuristic world where a soldier is caught in a time travel loophole, consistently dying in battle, but in the process also hardening into a military powerhouse, and probing for the weakness of his enemy.
Below, check out the first poster for the film. Read More »

Pork Meatballs Kabobs Recipe
"The first time I found out I could make kabobs in the microwave, I was thrilled because cooking on the grill can be such a hassle for just two people," explains Kitty Hernandez of Chicago, Illinois. "The sweet and tangy homemade meatballs are very easy and so tasty."
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup crushed chow mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup apple cider or juice, divided
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger, divided
- 3/4 pound ground pork
- 1 medium green pepper, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
- 20 small fresh mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1. In a bowl, combine the egg, chow mein noodles, 2 tablespoons cider, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon ginger. Crumble pork over mixture and mix well. Shape into 20 meatballs.
- 2. On 10 soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread peppers and mushrooms; add one meatball to both ends of each skewer. Place in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. microwave-safe dish; set aside.
- 3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the cornstarch, vinegar and remaining cider and ginger until smooth. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 30 seconds.
- 4. Pour 1/4 cup glaze over the kabobs. Loosely cover with waxed paper. Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, turning and brushing with drippings every 2 minutes. Serve with remaining glaze. Yield: 3 servings.

Im building a cyclo-cross bike and I plan to use mechanical disk brakes. While checking out different rims, I see two versions of almost identical rimsone regular for rim brakes, and the other marked for bikes with disk brakes. An example is the DT Swiss TK 7.1.
My questions are:
1) Can I use a standard rim when using disk brakes, even if it is not marked bikes with disk brakes?
2) Is a disk rim stronger to withstand the extra braking forces a disk brake can generate?
3) Is it simply that a disk rim does not have a suitable wear strip for rim brakes?

NiteRider Lumina 700 Cordless Light $0.00
NiteRider's Lumina line of lights is aimed at the dedicated commuter or responsible winter trainer. However, the range-topping, cordless Lumina 700 satisfies specifications that'll win over trail riders, especially given the included a helmet mount.
In fact, a comparable 700 Lumen trail light, just four years ago, would have cost twice as much as this Lumina — not mention an umbilical cord and a heavy battery pack. This light will last an hour-and-a-half feeding its LED at full power, and three hours on Medium. In other words, this light provides plenty for a safe ride home or a quick jaunt in the woods.
The lightweight Lumina 700 uses a USB cable to charge a Li-Ion battery, taking six hours to top off from your laptop at the office. And, as we mentioned, this is the only Lumina that includes a helmet mount and a handlebar mount. Which, at 172 grams complete, makes this cordless NiteRider ready to light up singletrack, complement an aging system, or to serve on the streets.
The NiteRider Lumina 700 Cordless Light is available in one color and one size. It includes a helmet mount and a handlebar mount that is compatible with 31.8mm clamp diameter bars.


text: St. Clair property owners will be paying higher taxes in December. At Monday's City Council meeting St. Clair officials accepted the states recommendation to raise the rate from .49 to .53 per 100 dollars of assessed valuation. City Administrator Rick Childress says when property values go down, taxes go up, and points to the sluggish economy and housing market as the reason for the drop in value. Childress also says people will not notice much of a difference from past years. The County Collectors office says real and personal property taxes will go out in early November.

Angela Lawson is a busy wife and mother employed outside the home. She's also a pizza consumer like so many others: desirous of good food delivered fast, order accuracy and customer service.
Telephone ordering, Lawson said, rarely delivers all three simultaneously, but Internet ordering nearly always does.
"At some places where I call in, whoever answers the phone acts like they don't have a clue," said Lawson, a Web site editor in Louisville, Ky. "But when I order online, I log into a personalized account, and I can see any coupons or specials right there. ... I like that I can pay by credit card and can add the tip in online. It'll even calculate 15 percent or 20 percent for you."
Even though Lawson's family isn't fond of the brand of pizza she gets via the Web, the e-service is so good that she orders it anyway.
Lawson's love of Internet ordering is bonafide proof that Web commerce has a place in the pizza business. But what's clear to pizza operators and online ordering providers is that just a small percentage of pizza customers bypass the phone to place their orders. Hitting speed dial for one's favorite pizzeria likely will always be faster than ordering online. But some believe that over time, more customers like Lawson — who prefer ordering at their own speed and paying with credit cards — will convert. How many will do that and when are questions that remain unanswered.
Mani Sidhu, director of business development for CoolOrder.com, a Los Angeles-based restaurant Web ordering company, said online pizza ordering is definitely in its infancy. Reports he's read claim restaurants offering Web ordering reap only 3 percent to 7 percent of their transactions that way.
Domino's Pizza spokesperson Holly Ryan said about 1,000 of the chain's 7,450 stores offer Web ordering, but that even in those units, the phones still bring in most of the business. She expects that will always be the case, but in communities where customers increasingly ask for the online option, they'll add it.
Sidhu and representatives of several other companies like his don't view Web ordering as a replacement for traditional ordering; rather they see it as an added customer convenience that works to drive incremental sales. Research shows, they claim, that customers who linger longer over a Web-based menu will order more.
Others add that the chief benefit for pizza companies is targeted e-mail marketing. Linking customers' purchasing habits with e-mail promotions is incomparably effective, said Stephan Steiner, president and CEO of PizzaOnline.com.
"The real value to online ordering is in that e-mail address," he said. "Once operators get those, they can quickly send out an e-mail to tell those customers they have a special going on."
Technology at all levels
Neither Papa John's nor Pizza Hut will reveal how much they've invested in their Web ordering systems, but it's likely a staggering sum. Customers of nearly every U.S. unit of both chains can log on, place an order and receive it without ever speaking to another human. The systems are fully integrated with participating stores' POS systems, allowing orders to go straight to the makeline without a phone ever ringing.
Other Web ordering systems aren't quite so high tech. The customer does go to a Web page and place an order, but the completed order is relayed to a fax machine at the desired pizzeria. Such Web order companies typically follow up with a phone call to confirm the fax was received.
The cost for those services — plus the variety of value-added services each delivers — is wide ranging. Most providers charge a set-up fee, which gets the pizza operator's menu online and order-ready. Revenue comes either from monthly fees, a percentage of the total cost of transactions through the site, or some blend of both.
* San Francisco-based Waiter.com charges a $399 set up fee, a $9.95 monthly fee and a per-transaction fee of 5 percent to 10 percent of the order.
* CoolOrder.com, which will launch in August, charges a monthly fee of $20 to $30, but no set-up fee.
* PizzaOnline.com charges $299 to $699 a year, but its packages include unique domain-named Web sites, Web hosting, 10 e-mail accounts per customer, e-mail marketing services and much more.
All three companies rely on Web-fax-relay systems.
CoolOrder.com's Sidhu said the technology is now affordable for any operator who recognizes the value of an online ordering presence.
"There's not really much of an excuse not to do it now," he said. "Also, if Domino's, Pizza Hut and Papa John's are doing it, it's important. This is a way for small businesses to stay competitive."
Who's using it?
Customers who use Waiter.com most often are those placing large orders for office functions or ordering in advance of the time they need the actual food. According to the company's president and CEO, Craig Cohen, being able to place a lengthy order via the Web is simpler than trying to dictate it over the phone to a busy order-taker.
"Some say the reason their customers use the online system is because they can't get through on the phone," said Cohen, whose company serves around 100 Bay Area pizzerias and 900 general restaurants. "This is about offering an added convenience for customers that can generate incremental sales for the business."
Pizza Hut spokesperson Julie Hildebrand believes busy mothers looking to feed their families are using the service as much as any other computer-loving customer.
"We can't just say it's one type of user of online ordering," said Hildebrand, who declined to say how many Pizza Hut units accept Internet orders. "People in general are on their computers more all the time, so (the service) is being used more."
People like Lawson.
"I like the fact that, if it's late, I get a time-stamped e-mail that tells me when I've ordered it," she said. "But when I call, I rarely remember when I ordered it. That's just another nice feature of using the computer."

Trans-Atlantic Pubns
In the far future, the Heliothane Dominion is triumphant in the solar system, after a bitter war with their Umbrathane progenitors. But some of the enemy have escaped into the past, intent on wreaking havoc across time. The worst of these is Cowl, an artificially forced advance in human evolution but one who is no longer human. Polly, desperate to obtain funds to support her habits, is unprepared for her involvement with Nandru Jurgens, a Taskforce soldier, and the killers pursuing him. Nor can she resist the the alien 'tor' which she feels impelled to attach to her arm. But she must learn fast, as she is dragged back through time, not least that to the denizens of some earlier eras, she is little more than a convenience food. Initially, the fragment of tor imbedded in Tack's wrist sums up his value to the Heliothane - a point brought home to him with bloody abruptness. But, as a vat-grown programmable killer employed by U-gov, he is no stranger to violence. His long journey into the lethal world of the Heliothane is only beginning, the extent of his mission just becoming apparent. Meanwhile, hunting throughout time and the alternates, Cowl's pet, the tor beast, grows vast and dangerous. And the beast continues to feed.

'Now would you stand aside before I shoot myself?'
Whilst visually fun (surprisingly, the special effects still manage to kinda hold up) and exciting with a story that almost makes absolute sense, the Doctor Who movie does have some problems when it comes to pace and referencing past events (some things that occur may anger and frustrate members of the fanbase).

If you don't speak French, you're not going to read the real text, you're going to have to settle for Anglicized idioms. (The author spoke Russian, Polish, Yiddish, German, French, English, and Bulgarian, and then his confession he said he tried to learn Swahili, but who knows, really.) But even if you read the real text, you wouldn't figure out who was the real author, even if you read it upside-down. (You might get closer if you read it in a mental institution.) Hocus Bogus is a novel written by a man who never went by his birth name in real life and published his novels under a pseudonym. A couple pseudonyms later, and he was a schizophrenic voice who knew he was only pretending to be the original. There were three layers of deception, just like in Inception (that's a reference to Bollywood). And then David Bellos translated it (the book, not the highly acclaimed Bollywood film) into English.
The narrator wrote the book as therapy under the advice of doctors. "They suggested painting at first, but that was a bummer." He was a psychiatric patient who already knew he was mythical and had an Uncle Bogey. What I just wrote is completely fictional about the actual writer, but as for the narrator, it's nothing but the truth. The entire work, you see, is a confession of a man who is nothing but the product of another man's imagination that the first man is actually the latter man, when in fact it is somewhat the other way around. I'll try to be clearer, but if you're unnecessarily fond of clarity, you'll require a manual Hocus Bogus.
The Part that (Sort of) Makes Sense: Romain Gary, one of France's most popular novelists by the early 1970s, decided that riches and fame did not give him the literary legitimacy he desired. So he began writing novels as Émile Ajar, which were altogether too successful and people began to suspect that Gary and Ajar were the same person. Doing the only thing that made sense, he fled the country and assumed the name Paul Pawlovitch. Pawlovitch confessed to being Ajar, which convinced the literary community that Gary was an unrelated has-been. (And then Uncle Bogey tells Pawlovitch to "stop posing.")

The judge presiding over the trial of Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger has denied a request from the defense to delay proceedings for several days.
James 'Whitey' Bulger On Trial
Bulger's lead lawyer on Thursday filed a motion asking for a suspension of the trial until Tuesday so the defense team can prepare for prosecution witnesses expected on the stand.
J.W. Carney said the "volume of paperwork is enormous" and that Bulger was exhausted from traveling from Plymouth to the courthouse in Boston each day.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Hafer opposed the motion.
"The victims have been waiting long enough for justice," Hafer said. "Mr. Bulger had 16 years to relax in California."
Prosecutors say they will call Bulger's former partner, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, to stand in the coming days and could possibly rest its case by the end of next week. Because they are running ahead of schedule, Judge Denise Casper said she would end testimony on Thursdays earlier, at 1 p.m. instead of 3:30 p.m.
The 83-year-old Bulger is charged with having a role in 19 killings during the 1970s and `80s while he allegedly led the Winter Hill Gang and served as an FBI informant on the rival New England Mafia. He has pleaded not guilty.
Bulger fled ahead of a 1995 indictment and wasn't captured until 2011.

Capstone Turbine Sells First C200 into Shanghai
A 14-story high rise in Shanghai is the first in China's largest city to use a clean-and-gThe low-emission, highly efficient, natural-gas microturbine from Capstone will be installed this summer to produce clean electricity for the Shanghai Shenergy Energy Center, along with thermal power providing air conditioning and hot and chilled water.reen C200 microturbine energy system from Capstone Turbine Corporation.
Capstone's distributor, Shanghai Aerospace Energy Co., sold the system and will oversee installation. The electricity will supplement power from the local utility, while the exhaust-heat energy generated by the compact C200 microturbine will be captured and run through two Yazaki absorption chillers.
The chillers will use the waste energy to heat or chill water for the building and provide efficient air conditioning. Combined Cooling Heating & Power (CCHP) is far more fuel efficient and environmentally beneficial than traditional utility power and boiler heating. The system in the Energy Center building will reach close to 75 percent efficiency – more than double the efficiency of the energy produced by the local coal-fired power plant.
The C200 product provides the same benefits of ultra low exhaust emissions, low noise emissions, low maintenance costs and industry leading reliability which have become the signature of all Capstone products. It features Capstone's patented oil free air bearing technology, remote monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, and integrated utility synchronization and protection. The small, modular systems allow for easy and low-cost installation.

FuturesJS/ArrayAsync - The diet cola of asynchronous array utilities.
v3.x - Diet Cola Edition
ArrayAsync provides asynchronous counterparts for each of the Array iterate methods
reduceRightAsync* (uses reversed copy of original array)
Each of the other array methods is a thin (12-line long) wrapper around the
diet (27-line long)
which is the core workhorse.
Where size is a concern and you don't need all 86 lines of code, I would invite you to simply look at the source and copy/paste what you need (and attribute, of course).
bower install ArrayAsync
'use strict'; var filterAsync = windowfilterAsync ; filterAsync'dogs' 'cats' 'octocats' askTheUserIfTheyLikeThiselement nextlikesIt; ; then showTheUserThingsTheyLikenewArr; ;;
npm install array-async
'use strict'; var ArrayAsync = require'async-array'filterAsync ; filterAsync'dogs' 'cats' 'octocats' askTheUserIfTheyLikeThiselement nextlikesIt; ; then showTheUserThingsTheyLikenewArr; ;;
I'm not sure which is the clear win yet:
Call each *Async function as needed
var mapAsync = require'array-async'mapAsync ;
Use them attached to ArrayAsync object
var ArrayAsync = require'array-async'ArrayAsync ; // Access each without the trailing 'Async' ArrayAsyncreducearr fn;
Attach the async methods to Array
require'array-async'infectArray; ArrayfilterAsyncarray fn;
I've been the prototype route before... it was a bad idea.

"Simply put, Rep. Akin's claim is ridiculous. While there was such a time when it was commonly believed that pregnancy couldn't result from rape, that time was hundreds of years ago. Now we know better. Each year, thousands of women become pregnant as the result of rape, and many more survivors are faced with PTSD, depression and other long-term results of the crime. Supporting survivors — and recognizing the impact of the crime on them — is the very least we should expect from our political leaders."

Rates are estimated in the mid 3% range for 15-year loans and low 4% range for 30-year loans. A successful refinance will bring qualified homeowners immediate savings in the form of reduced monthly mortgage payments, but more importantly, larger savings over the remaining term of their loan.
Current conforming loan limits are scheduled to expire Friday, Sept. 30. The maximum FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac conforming loan limit will decline to $625,500 beginning Oct. 1, 2011, from the current $729,750 limit, though the majority of counties will fall far below the $625,500 maximum.
The conforming loan limit determines the maximum size of a mortgage that FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) can buy or guarantee. Non-conforming or jumbo loans typically carry a higher mortgage interest rate than a conforming loan and require a higher down payment, increasing the monthly payment and negatively impacting housing affordability for California home buyers.
Most of the nation's biggest mortgage lenders have already stopped making loans at the old limits, concerned that they will not be able to get them off their books before the official Saturday October 1st deadline.

Northern Ireland Travel: Marching on Waterford; ZOE WATSON FOLLOWS THE HISTORY TRAIL TO FAITHLEGG
Byline: ZOE WATSON
CROMWELL said he would take Waterford "by hook or by crook" during his contentious campaign to gain control of Ireland - but the city proved to be a thorn in the side of the great dictator.
It is the place where the four South Eastern counties converge and offers the modern-day visitor a wide range of attractions.
Leaving Belfast behind, my family and I headed off to sample the delights of the area. Six hours and a sausage supper later we arrived in Waterford city.
Just six miles out of town is the luxurious Faithlegg Estate - boasting one of Ireland's top golf courses - which was to be my home for one week.
Faithlegg offers both hotel accommodation and a number of self-catering cottages which are ideal for any family with a toddler determined to stick to no timetable but his own.
For a small fee self-catering guests can use all the hotel facilities, which include a swimming pool, superb leisure, health and beauty amenities, and, of course, the championship parkland golf course. Nearby is Jack Meade's Pub, dubbed Ireland's only flyover pub due to the railway bridge over the main bar.
Jack Meade's, complete with adventure playground, donkeys, goats and ponies, is an excellent place for children to play while their parents enjoy a few drinks in the large beer garden.
But if that's not your cup of tea you can relax in the bar in Faithlegg Hotel or even have a tipple in golf clubhouse after sampling the cuisine in the hotel restaurant.
Our base proved an ideal spot for easy access to Co Wexford and the Hook Peninsula.
Just 10 minutes drive away is Passage East, a small port with a car ferry transporting you into the neighbouring county close to Hook Head, where Europe's oldest working lighthouse stands.
Visitors are invited to tour the building, taking in all the magic and mystery surrounding the great light.
Even my two-year-old son enjoyed climbing the steps to the top of the tower and exploring the stone rooms inside before stepping outside and admiring the magnificent view from the top.
One building easily seen from Hook Lighthouse is Loftus Hall, said to be the most haunted house in Ireland.
Although tours of the house are not permitted because it is privately owned, the facilities at Hook Lighthouse include a film telling the history and chilling goings on at Loftus Hall.
Another must in Co Wexford is the Dunbrody Heritage Ship, a life-size replica of the famine ship which transported JFK's ancestors to America.
On arrival in New Ross the magnificence historic vessel is the first thing you see.
Visitors are drawn below deck where the sights, smells and sounds of what it would have been like for the poor of Wexford to travel across the Atlantic Ocean in the 19th century are chillingly recreated.
Characters from the time tell their story of how people starved, lived in cramped conditions and even died on board the Dunbrody. …

Heres a few other things that have caught our eye this month, which you may have missed: Twitter sentiment analysis heats
With seven in ten brands saying they plan to increase their presence across social media in 2012 (according to a recent survey by Awareness) we thought it would be a good idea to take a regular look at the current social media landscape. So here's a quick run down of what we think has been hot

1966 Chevy El Camino Outlaw Street - Heads Up NewsWritten by on January 1, 1999 Contributors: Scott Kileen The Fastest Pages In Hot Rod Magazine
Take Me Down To Junior's Farm Out Of The Race, But Hardly Out To Pasture
The assignment was simple: Hook up with a race team at the HOT ROD Magazine Power Festival season finale in Commerce, Georgia, and follow along as the weekend unfolds. I went to the pits early Saturday morning and saw Junior Griffin's crew unloading their gorgeous red Outlaw Street '66 El Camino.
"How are things looking for this race?" I asked. "Great," Griffin replied, "I'm gonna use the second stage of nitrous for the first time, and we're probably gonna run quicker and faster than ever." That was all I had to hear. When I asked if he'd mind being the subject of this story, he quickly agreed. Some racers would have had no need for a shutterbug dogging their every move during the high tension of a season's final drag race. But Griffin and the crew had their act solid, and my camera wasn't about to rattle them. (The next day, I'd get more drama than any of us wanted.)
Griffin was born and raised in Edwards, Mississippi. He's 43 and has been a hot rodder since he was 15. His first car was a '57 Ford with a warmed-over 292, which ultimately turned Griffin into a die-hard Chevy man. He told us that the old Henry had a voracious appetite for rear main seals. Today, it sounds like the Y-motor was suffering from some bad machine work, but at the time, Griffin was a kid, so what did he know? We've all been there.
In 1972, he moved to Chicago and got Chev-religion. He built a four-door '57 Bel Air with a hot 327 and a four-speed. When street racing netted him one too many green stamps, Griffin became a regular bracket racer. In 1979, he found the El Camino. In the 20 years he has owned this car, it had never had so much as a scratch put to it. Think about that as you study the photos.
At 3,140 pounds, the all-steel, Huntsville-winning El Camino was 200 pounds heavier than the legal minimum in Outlaw Street. Since he didn't want to slice and dice it, Griffin assembled a cutting-edge '98 Monte Carlo and was just about to retire the El Camino from active duty. But the new car wasn't sorted out, so he decided to race the Camino one more time at Commerce and then turn the big red horse out to pasture.
During Saturday qualifying, Griffin ran a decent 7.701 at 179.30 to qualify in eighth position. After the pass, Griffin's crew discovered that too shallow valve-relief notches in one piston had bent a valve, so the El Camino had actually run a 7.70 on seven cylinders! The next morning, after some serious thrashing, the crew had fixed the problem, and now they'd be using the second stage of nitrous oxide for the first time. When the track announcer called Outlaw Street to the staging lanes, they were ready. I followed as the ATV towed the sparkling Chevy toward the launch pad like some solid-fueled rocket on the brink of Armageddon.
Griffin was paired with Bill Hill's supercharged '70 Camaro and was ahead of it at the 60-foot mark when all hell broke loose. The El Camino made an abrupt lefthander into the guardrail and then careened to the right, vectoring straight into the opposite guardrail. Griffin emerged shaken but unhurt. I wondered if he heard the cheering crowd. The Elky's body was a twisted mess, and much of the tubular frame and rollcage had been tweaked beyond repair. The oil filter had failed, allowing lube to get under the driver's-side slick.
Back in the pits, Griffin and his crew were surprisingly calm. As Griffin told the ambulance driver moments after the crash, "The only thing hurt is my heart." In a very cool move, Griffin will have Bill Lucky Race Cars rebuild the car, even though its days as an NMCA Outlaw Street warrior are over. The new Monte Carlo has already gone 7.80 at 180 on a partial pass, and there is no doubt that Junior Griffin and his team will be a major force to contend with as the '99 NMCA Comp Cams Street Car Drag Racing Series unfolds.

The aftermath of Saturday's piston-to-valve contact in the number-two cylinder got Griffin and the crew scrambling to make repairs in time for Sunday eliminations. Under the circumstances, they had to use a die grinder to deepen the valve notches in the piston. The 706-cubic-inch R&S-built rat sounded strong.before the crash put an end to things.Nobody wants to take a race car home looking like this, but thanks to his safety-first philosophy, both the car and Griffin will race again.

The air in Pioneer Chapel was rippling today as 300-400 students prepared for the last chapel talk of the year given by outgoing President Patrick White. I sat uncharacteristically further back due to the great number of people between Martindale brothers Tom Blaich and Korbin West. What was truly one of the finest chapel talks of the year was opened by White's characteristic humor as he silenced the resounding applause to his introduction by saying "I only have twenty-five minutes!"
Seconds later he invocated speech that drew an equally loud applause. "God I love Wabash!" As President White continued speaking I was struck by his many personal stories that showed how much of a personal president he was to Wabash. So much so that even incoming freshmen such as my roommate Patrick Bryant and next door neighbor Daniel Craig were mentioned for their interaction with White in preparation for a Calculus test and in his replacement of White in a titanic battle of Risk respectively.
But a more personal example is Dr. White's participation in a very small book reading club over "The Great Gatsby." As a member of this group, I witnessed Dr. White's unassuming presence as he diligently took notes during our meetings. But it was an even greater surprise when during his speech he reference's Gatsby's green light at the edge of the horizon when talking about the high expectations of Wabash. In the same way that Wabash continually demands more from its students, Gatsby's consuming desire to reunite with his dream is symbolized by this lone, green light in the horizon.
Another personal story would be meeting a lone man in a baseball cap. After traveling with the track team back from Wooster, a five-hour drive that yielded another conference championship (hoorah!), we walked off the bus at 2 am to discover President White ready to shake each of our hands and congratulate us on our accomplishment. These are just two examples of White's commitment to personal relationships.
What is possibly less unexpected is Dr. White's approbation of brotherhood, referencing his ringing in ceremonies in which he has traditionally invoked the words of Shakespeare, "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers." So when he asked everyone to stand and greet the neighbor to their left and right, you can imagine the exuberance and amiability filling that moment.
I recall most clearly Dr. White's citing of an exemplar alumni named Bob Armstrong who, upon his cancer bed, made the analogy to our president that his doctors who were "trying to save his life" would now meet the president of the college "that gave him his life." This great approbation of Wabash matches Dr. White's compliment of an institution that is a "community of heart and mind."
So Dr. White concluded his chapel talks by praising Wabash for its consistency in the ever-changing world, for showing its students that "Wabash always dreams," and possibly more importantly, "Wabash always fights!"

This weekend, we turn the clocks back. Now don't confuse that with last Tuesday when Democrats got their clocks cleaned.
It looks like John Boehner will be the new speaker of the House. He is the son of a bartender, one of 12 children who grew up in a two-room home with just one bathroom. He worked his way through school and became the first person in his family to graduate from college. Then, sadly, he fell in with the wrong crowd and wound up in Congress.
Levi Johnston said in an interview that Sarah Palin is "not qualified" to be president. And believe me, if there's anyone who knows about not being qualified for something, it's Levi Johnston.
University of Chicago researchers have found that sleeping more can help you lose weight. How many guys are going to jump on this one? "Honey, I'm not sitting on the couch all weekend, I'm dieting."
We now have a Democratic Senate, a Republican House, and a president with veto power. Smooth sailing, right?
Charlie Sheen and his wife are apparently getting a divorce. Did something happen?
So now there's al-Qaida in Yemen. These guys have more franchises than "The Real Housewives."
With the time change, we gain an extra hour. Do we really need another hour of 2010?
Top Ten Signs You're Not Going To Win The New York City Marathon
Police in San Diego have uncovered a huge smuggling tunnel under the border with Mexico containing 25 tons of marijuana — and a couple of very stoned Chilean miners.
Every year I say I'm going to run in the New York City Marathon. This year, I'm going to say that again.
Sometimes they run episodes of a TV show and they call it a "marathon." That's like calling a bowl of ice cream a "lap."
The New York City Marathon is very prestigious. In front of the Plaza Hotel, runners will have to hurdle over furniture thrown out by Charlie Sheen.
This weekend is the New York City Marathon. It's a chance for the best runners in New York to come together — and get crushed by a guy from Nigeria.
President Obama is on a 10-day trip to India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan. Not to be outdone, today Joe Biden went to Epcot.
Daylight Savings ends this Sunday. If you're confused about when to set your clocks back or ahead, just remember this simple rule: You gain an hour every fall, and you lose an hour every time you watch an episode of "Jersey Shore."
Lady Gaga went to a yoga class in London this week wearing platform boots, sunglasses, and a dress. You'd think that would be pretty impractical, but she totally nailed the position "Downward-Facing Weirdo."

Producers Looking to Cast Jayma Mays Double: Resolution to Will and Emma's Storyline?
Is Emma (Jayma Mays) coming back to Glee? With the show having moved its storylines to NYC, it appeared that we had seen the last of her. However, it seems that Emma will be popping up in an upcoming episode.
The show sent out a casting notice this week that it is looking for an actress to serve as a "photo double" for Jayma during the Glee shoot. Applicants are required to have shoulder-length, light red hair; be between 5'3" and 5'5" in height; and wear a size 0-2. As you may know, a photo double or body double is someone who stands in for an actor for scenes where their face isn't shown.
So what will Emma be doing in the upcoming episode? Well, Will (Matthew Morrison) and Emma no longer appear to be central in Glee's current plots. However, we know that they're currently expecting a baby, so we wouldn't be surprised if the show decides to give them some closure by showing Emma giving birth or holding their bundle of joy.
We're also curious to find out whether Mr. Schue will be seen at all on the show next season. Sue (Jane Lynch) mentioned that she got him a job interview to coach Vocal Adrenaline, so we're crossing our fingers for him!
Are you excited that Emma will be returning? And do you think we'll see their baby soon?

CLEVELAND (AP) — Former Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County auditor Frank Russo is on his way to prison nearly two years after pleading guilty to 21 corruption-related crimes.
The Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/Tyzeb7 ) that Russo was under orders from the U.S. Marshal's office to report by Friday to a low-security prison in Loretto, Pa., about 80 miles east of Pittsburgh.
A check of the Federal Bureau of Prisons web site Saturday found Russo listed as in transit. A message was left with the bureau seeking further information.
Russo was the star witness at a high-profile public corruption trial in northeast Ohio that centered on former political power broker Jimmy Dimora, a former county commissioner. Russo remained free by cooperating with prosecutors in criminal cases against some of his former friends and associates.

OOCL chosen as best Ag ocean cargo carrier
July 07, 2014
The results of the The Agriculture Transportation Coalition (AgTC) 2014 Ocean Carrier Performance Survey were announced at the 26th Annual Meeting in San Francisco last week with OOCL taking first place honors.
Hamburg Sud and Evergreen finished closely behind in the voting, and were also recognized for their superior performance.
Each year, the AgTC surveys the broad and diverse cross-section of our members, the U.S. agriculture and forest products exporters and importers from all geographic locations, of virtually all dry and refrigerated products, via dry and refrigerated 20-foot and 40- foot containers, to determine the ocean carrier performance.
"The AgTC's Ocean Carrier Performance Survey has become a much anticipated means for ocean carriers to benchmark their performance on critical factors which determine the customer experience with their line," says Peter Friedmann, AgTC's Executive Director.
While the complete rankings are not released publicly, the AgTC does individual carrier ratings, both overall and for each performance element, with that carrier, upon request. This then can be a constructive means to gauge performance relative to competing carriers.
All Annual Survey responses are aggregated, and the individual responses discarded, to assure confidentiality of each shipper's response.
According to Friedmann, this year's survey was again expanded to gain more insight into agriculture and forest products shippers
who completed the survey.
The survey collected data on the shippers':
- Cargo origins in the U.S. and Canada
- Global cargo destinations
- Volume of cargo/containers shipped each year
The AgTC members were then asked to rate ocean carriers in eleven categories of service.
· consistent availability of correct sizes and types of container equipment needed
· consistent availability of slots on vessels and equipment needed each week by port and service
· overall document accuracy and efficiency
· accuracy in shipment rating and bill of lading release/turn time
· willingness to accept shippers' export documentation as close to cargo cut-off as possible
· advertised vs. actual vessel schedule and transit time
· intermodal door service and availability from shipper facilities or interior gateways
· terminal service and efficiency at US ports
· terminal service and efficiency at foreign ports
· understanding and adaptation to commercial needs of the agriculture community
· representatives' response time and ability to address problems.
The fact that all three top carriers made a stretch run for the title speaks volumes about the value they place in this contest. Congratulations to all three top finishers.

Improved Tools, Interface, and Features to Provide Better Image Results and Documentation
By Daren Garius
On Thursday, September 4, 2014
Traditional software for 3D design and modeling available today are mostly difficult for beginners to use. It takes a lot of time and practice to master them. Fortunately, SketchUp Pro 2014, though a paid version of the same name of 3D design software, is easy to use. It provides professional results, but allows easy control and management. The 2014 professional version has been imbued with better 3D modeling tools including new arc functions, enhanced vector rendering, and speedy implementation of shadows in large models. It also has a classifier for BIMs, or Building Information Modeling. It features a classifier for Building Information Modeling, or BIM. It features, more importantly, an IFC, or Industry Foundation Classes, export which can wrap your project for BIM classifications and that is interoperability at its best. Its most likeable traits on the other hand are its improved 3D Warehouse interface and learning tools. The 3D Warehouse is an online storehouse of 3D models created through SketchUp by users. In addition, the learning tools help users in their learning process of the software.
- Features improved and faster documentation tools
- 3D models can be used on Google Earth and Google Maps
- Paid edition is quite expensive

Sometimes we all end up doing some gigs that we may not necessarily really want to do, but we end up with a sense of "having" to do it! This occurs very often when friends or family ask us to do them certain gigs as "favors." It is amazing how these gigs can come about, and sometimes for me there have been some really funny circumstances!
A very commonplace one for me is to be at a wedding or some kind of family event, and when there is a band or even an orchestra, everybody asks me to get up and play. This can often be rewarding and tons of fun, especially with the interaction with the band, and can sometimes be a total disaster! There was even one time at a cousin's wedding when the band actually would not let ME play their guitar! That was certainly just about the most obnoxious group of people I have ever encountered, and it almost created a riot, where my family was ready to literally storm the stage, and demand that they let me play!!
Other times have been beyond amazing, like the time when I was asked to come up and play with a large band for a friend's 50th birthday celebration, and I called out Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher". Not only did I discover that the killer horn section knew the horn solo from that song, but all of a sudden, I had three soul sisters backing me up on vocals!! I couldn't believe it, it was like being in gig heaven, and I felt like I never even had to turn around once to even give any cues to the band! What an experience that was!
There can also be very fun ones where I play solo acoustic or electric, and it's low-key and laid back. At those sorts of gatherings I get to do a lot of mingling, have some nice meals and generally feel like I am part of the overall feeling of the event. On this next Sunday I am doing this for a friend and his new bride, and they want certain things like me playing "Here Comes the Sun" when they walk down the aisle, etc. I even have done it for Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen's wedding, with President Bill Clinton and many other luminaries in attendance, and the President's appreciation of the music was incredible! Of course, I was playing with James Taylor and his sister Kate, which also didn't hurt!
So keep yourself "open-minded" when it comes to gigs such as these because you just never really know how they will turn out. The main thing is that if you are truly "commited" to the gig, make sure you go with the flow and don't be defiant about what the folks really want you to do. That can sometimes be my tendency as an "artist" who doesn't necessarily do these kinds of gigs, but we can find it extremely rewarding, fun, and often an experience that stays with us forever! It can lead more work too!

What does a dolphin skeleton look like?
Search: dolphin skeleton
Why: Dolphin flippers have 5 digits and the nearly the same bone structure as the human hand.
Answer: Like this:
Source: Visual.Merriam-Webster.com
The More You Know: The ribs of dolphins are delicate and not strongly attached to the spine or to the breastbone. The ribs are said to be "floating." The ones that are attached are usually joined, enabling the ribcage to collapse under the pressure of a deep dive without damage. Also, dolphins have no hair or sweat glands.

Radio is the transmission of signals through free space by electromagnetic waves with frequencies significantly below visible light, in the radio frequency range, from about 3 kHz to 300 GHz. These waves are called radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space.
Information, such as sound, is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as their amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width. When radio waves strike an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. The information in the waves can be extracted and transformed back into its original form.
The etymology of "radio" or "radiotelegraphy" reveals that it was called "wireless telegraphy," which was shortened to "wireless" in Britain. The prefix radio- in the sense of wireless transmission, was first recorded in the word radioconductor, a description provided by the French physicist Édouard Branly in 1897. It is based on the verb to radiate (in Latin "radius" means "spoke of a wheel, beam of light, ray").
freezer rubio
esos ojitos
son mi cielo
ese corazon un hielo
y tu alma un misterio
sin embargo,
yo te quiero
naci para querernos
para amarnos
para besarnos
mi freezer adorado!
naci para ti
