Jim Jones Pleads Not Guilty To Christmas Eve Assault
By Allen Starbury | 02/05/2009
Rapper Jim Jones pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge on Wednesday (February 4) in Manhattan Criminal Court.
The charges stem from an alleged altercation that took place on Christmas Eve in New York, between himself and a man named Vaughn, the brother of Tyran "Ty Ty" Smith who works with Ne-Yo and is the longtime friend and colleague of Jones' lyrical nemesis, Jay-Z.
During the run-in, at the Fifth Avenue Louis Vuitton, Jones reportedly punched and kicked the victim, and was officially charged shortly after New Year's.
After entering a not guilty plea, Jones was released on his own recognizance.
He is not due back in court to until March 24, the day his upcoming solo album, Pray IV Reign, is due in stores.

U.S. Joins Armstrong Ex-Teammate's False Claims Lawsuit
The U.S. joined a lawsuit against Lance Armstrong brought by ex-teammate Floyd Landis that accuses the former champion cyclist of defrauding the government by using banned drugs while riding for the U.S. Postal Service.
The Justice Department yesterday joined the False Claims Act lawsuit. Landis alleges that Armstrong, his team manager Johan Bruyneel and team owner Tailwind Sports Corp. defrauded the U.S. government based on years of using banned substances in violation of the U.S. Postal Service's sponsorship agreements.
"The Postal Service contract with Tailwind required the team to enter cycling races, wear the Postal Service logo, and follow the rules banning performance enhancing substances -- rules that Lance Armstrong has now admitted he violated," Stuart F. Delery, chief of the Justice Department's civil division, said in a statement.
The government joins only about 25 percent of privately filed whistle-blower cases, and when it does, a recovery is likely, said John Phillips of Phillips & Cohen LLP in Washington, who has litigated False Claims Act cases since 1986. U.S. participation adds credibility because it means the allegations survived a thorough vetting by the department and shows "they believe in the case and want to pursue it."
Record Recoveries
The Justice Department recovered a record $3.3 billion in suits filed by whistle-blowers in the 2012 fiscal year, the department said in December. When they win a False Claims Act case the U.S. joined, whistle-blowers can get from 15 percent to 25 percent of the recovery, which can be three times the government's damages.
The U.S. Postal Service paid $31 million in sponsorship fees to Armstrong's team between 2001 and 2004, the Justice Department said. Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles last year, won the cycling race in each of those years. He was the team's lead rider from 1999 to 2004.
Armstrong's lawyers had been in talks with the Justice Department over a possible settlement deal, his attorney, Robert Luskin, said yesterday. Those negotiations fell apart.
"Lance and his representatives worked constructively over these last weeks with federal lawyers to resolve this case fairly, but those talks failed because we disagree about whether the Postal Service was damaged," Luskin of Patton Boggs LLP in Washington, said in a statement. "The Postal Service's own studies show that the service benefited tremendously from its sponsorship -- benefits totaling more than $100 million."
'Banned Substances'
The lawsuit, unsealed yesterday, alleges Armstrong and his teammates knowingly caused U.S. Postal Service team agreements to be violated by "regularly employing banned substances to enhance their performance," the Justice Department said in its release.
A record seven-time Tour de France winner from 1999 to 2005, Armstrong was stripped of the titles by the U.S. Anti- Doping Agency in August. The cyclist acknowledged in a television interview with Oprah Winfrey last month that he used a "cocktail" of testosterone, erythropoietin and blood transfusions throughout his career.
A compilation of the 41-year-old American cyclist's earnings by Bloomberg News, using public documents, interviews, court testimony and marketers' comments, showed part of Armstrong's business ventures and profit centers. Armstrong made more than $218 million during a career he told Winfrey was "one big lie."
Prize Money
Armstrong also faces a lawsuit seeking the return of $12 million in prize money a promoter paid the cyclist for three of those championships.
SCA Promotions Inc. paid Armstrong the bonuses after he won the 2002, 2003 and 2004 bicycle races, believing his representations that he had won each contest fairly, according to a complaint filed Feb. 7 in Texas state court in Dallas. SCA is suing to get the money back. Armstrong had previously denied doping allegations under oath, according to SCA's complaint.
The department said it is only joining Landis's lawsuit against Armstrong, Buryneel and Tailwind. It won't intervene against other defendants named by Landis.
Landis in August admitted defrauding donors to his legal defense fund by falsely claiming that he hadn't used performance-enhancing drugs during his professional cycling career as part of a deferred prosecution agreement filed in federal court in San Diego.
Wire Fraud
He's charged with one count of wire fraud for which he could be sentenced to as much as 20 years in prison under the terms the agreement with the Justice Department. Federal prosecutors could continue prosecuting Landis if he fails to make restitution of more than $475,000.
"I had come to a point in my life where I decided that I had to tell the truth for the sake of my conscience," Landis said yesterday in a statement issued by his lawyer, Paul Scott. "I'm still dealing with the consequences of that decision to this day but it's better than living a lie."
The case is U.S., ex rel. Floyd Landis v. Tailwind Sports Corp., 10-cv-00976, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

Looking for the ultimate eCommerce photo gallery
Hey guys and gals,
Today I'm using Zenphoto system where I upload massive amount of photos
from sports event.
Each event is no less than 3K photos (JPGs only), I upload and let the event's competitors
search for their photos and buy them.
Zenphoto doesn't allow me to have a fully automated system where the client pay
and get a link for a download, that is very annoying and not efficient.
Even more, the system doesn't have any option to analyze the photos
as each participant have a unique number or barcode on his chest which allow to "find" him among the mass.
I know that my competitors do have a system to analyze photos and search your participant chest number and it works great (I compete in some events my self and even buy photos of mine :-))
So what I'm looking for is this :
- A system that I host by myself (I got a server over at DigitalOcean)
I do not want to relay on hosted monthly plan that limit me in bandwidth, file size, file count, etc...
- I want a system that can automate things, that is major issue.
- I would like to be able to upload a small sized file to the system just for preview with a watermark and have the big files locally here on a cloud HDD so the system will liked to this HDD as I just can't upload 8-12GB of photos each event (Upload speed in my country are poor).
- It need to be able to support multi-languages or at least have to option to translate it by my self.
- and last, I would like to have this analyzing chest number thing, but that is on the bottom of the list as probably that is a unique self development that the other company did, so I have low expectations to get such a gizmo in my pocket.
And of course, I'm willing to pay for all these goodness, not looking for free meal
but if there is a free option source option that would be even better

MEXSAT Bicentenario Satellite Sends 1st Signals from Space
- Satellite built by Boeing partner Orbital is 1st of 3-satellite order
- 2 Boeing-built satellites for MEXSAT will further strengthen communications services in Mexico
The MEXSAT Bicentenario satellite, built by Boeing [NYSE: BA] partner Orbital Sciences Corporation [NYSE: ORB], sent its first signals from space today following launch from Kourou aboard an Ariane 5 rocket.
Bicentenario is the first of three MEXSAT satellites for the Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT) of Mexico that will enhance the country's communications for domestic, military, civil and humanitarian needs.
Global Man-Portable Military Electronics Market Research Report 2017
Orbital produced Bicentenario under contract to Boeing. The hybrid C-band and Ku-band communications satellite is based on Orbital's flight-proven GEOStar-2 platform. As the MEXSAT prime contractor, Boeing will build the remainder of the order, two 702HP geomobile satellites, for launches scheduled in 2013 and 2014.
"The MEXSAT team has achieved this milestone thanks to a strong partnership between Orbital, Boeing and the SCT," said Christopher Richmond, Orbital senior vice president of Communications Satellite Programs. "We look forward to supporting our customer through post-launch testing and subsystem deployments and into operation."
"Today's successful launch brings us closer to the establishment of the MEXSAT system, which will enhance Mexico's disaster-relief and emergency services, and provide satellite broadcasting capabilities in telemedicine and tele-education," said Craig Cooning, chief executive officer of Boeing Satellite Systems International and vice president and general manager of Boeing Space & Intelligence Systems.
Boeing will integrate the MEXSAT network, which will include the three satellites, two ground telemetry and control sites, associated network operations systems, and reference user terminals. In addition to the Bicentenario, Orbital is providing the command and control ground equipment and software for the Bicentenario, as well as the associated training and operational documentation.

Jonathon Zilber Philly Style Bagels' mission is to fill the hole that exists for fresh baked bagels in Philadelphia. Our bagels are so different, we had to create a new category: the Philly Style Bagel. There are very few places in Philadelphia that make bagels from scratch, and none in Fishtown. We want to see fresh baked bagels on our side of town! Having run a steady Sunday pop-up shop at Pizzeria Beddia for over a year, we're ready to make the jump to our own shop in Fishtown, and we need your help. We make a bagel that Philadelphia can be proud to call its own. We would like the world to know and love the Philly Style Bagel. What is a Philly Style Bagel? Philly Style Bagels is the world's first and only shop to boil its bagels with beer in the kettle water instead of malt syrup or honey. It's our homage to the great beer culture of Philadelphia and it's absolutely delicious. Our recipe and technique pull many elements from different styles of bread and bagel baking. We've experimented with every detail of the bagel-making process to emphasize what we like and eliminate what we don't like about the bagels we grew up with. The results were worth the effort. We make them from scratch and pay close attention to every detail of the process. We bulk ferment our dough before shaping the bagels; it highlights the wonderful complex flavors of fermentation that bread lovers prize and brings out the nuanced complexity of our simple ingredients. A Philly Style Bagel is hand-rolled and seeded on both sides. We dust the bottoms with cornmeal and bake them upside-down on burlap-lined bagel boards before flipping them directly on to the stone to finish baking. We make small batches throughout the day, so the bagels are always fresh, even for the late-risers. We aren't bound by bagel tradition in Philadelphia, so we're free to create an even better bagel. Here's how our bagels stack up against other bagel styles: What's our secret to making these bagels so good? It's no secret. There's definitely something in the water that makes them so uniquely delicious: beer! Yard's IPA, to be exact. The strong malt backbone of this beer gives the bagels extra flavor and their signature crunch, while the hoppy flavor of the beer balances the sweetness of the malt. Where are we setting up shop? We have a space in the heart of Fishtown, right on Palmer Park! 100% of the proceeds from the Sunday pop-ups have gone directly into funding this project. We certainly couldn't have come this far without the support of our amazing community. We just need a little boost to help us cross the finish line. Having our own shop will allow us to offer a lot more than we've been able to at the pop-ups. We look forward to offering a full menu of breakfast sandwiches and lunch options. Everything will be made fresh with locally-sourced high quality ingredients. What does your donation go towards? Our life force — the oven. The Montague Hearth Bake 25P-2, a larger version of the oven we fell in love with at Pizzeria Beddia. It's a top-of-the-line gas oven lined with pizza stone on all sides. The extra space will help us produce enough bagels to keep prices reasonable and meet demand. Our Story We are Collin Shapiro and Jonathon Zilber. We met over five years ago while working together stocking beers at the Foodery in Northern Liberties. It's one of Philly's first craft beer bottle-shops and is known for its huge selection. We also share a love of coffee — we've spent years working the bar over at Shot Tower Coffee in Queen Village, one of Philadelphia's best coffee shops. One day a few years ago, we cured up some salmon but didn't have a plan for how to serve it. Naturally, we thought of the obvious choice — bagels! Out of necessity, we made our first batch. Then: While they weren't the prettiest, they were good enough to inspire us to set out on a mission to make the best bagels possible. We began making bagels every week, refining the recipe along the way. We didn't start with a recipe or any preconceived notions about what they "should" be. We knew what result we wanted. We arrived there by tweaking our recipe little by little. After several months of experimentation, we finally settled on something we were ready to share with the world. Now: Working in the back of that beer store meant we saw almost every bottled beer distributed in Philadelphia. And stocking shelves for hours on end meant we had plenty of time to toss around seemingly far-fetched ideas. People were using anything and everything to flavor the beer. Inspired by this creative approach, we asked ourselves, "What if we boiled bagels in beer? Then we could make up our own style of bagel… we could call them Philly Style Bagels." The first time we baked at Pizzeria Beddia, it was an experiment and we didn't know what to expect. We invited all of our friends to come test out our first batch. The level of support we received right away left us in disbelief. We were taken aback by how strong the demand was for us to return, and it has continued to grow. Before we knew it, we were making bagels there almost every Sunday. And we've made so many new friends along the way. After a year of pop-ups and generous support from our local community, this idea doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore. Our story represents what it means to be a Philadelphian these days. We have the spirit of innovation. We are creative. Our imagination has no limits. We are resourceful, resilient, and hard working. We inspire each other. We maintain strong roots in our history and tradition but we are not bound by it. Our Place Philly Style Bagels will become an integral part of Fishtown. We will support companies that are in line with our philosophy of sourcing high-quality ingredients and supporting local farms and producers. Our shop will also create a place where our neighbors can fulfill these expectations while enriching the social fabric of our neighborhood. As experienced baristas, we take coffee seriously and will offer excellent coffee as well. Most importantly, bagels are a food for everyone. A bagel shop is a place for neighbors to come together, where people of different backgrounds can connect with each other freely. Risks and Challenges Baking is itself a difficult thing to master, but we have proven through our pop-ups that we are ready for the challenge and our supporters have proven that they're ready for our brick and mortar space. Bagel making is a labor intensive process, especially since we don't use the machines that are staples of mass production. But we are ready to put in the long hours. It's also a labor of love, so it's lucky that we love what we do. As first-time business owners, it is easy to underestimate the amount of capital needed to open a retail business. With your help, we will be able to purchase the oven that is the keystone to our shop. Thank You The support we've seen from the local community of small businesses, organizations, and artists has been unreal, and we are looking forward to becoming a part of it. There's so many people to thank for helping us out along the way. Love, Collin Shapiro & Jonathon Zilber Philly Style Bagels Find This Campaign On Facebook Twitter YouTube Website

New Autos, Prizm Previews Shed Promising Light on 2012-13 Rookie Anthology Hockey
The palpable and ever-building anticipation for next month's release of 2012-13 Rookie Anthology Hockey can best be summarized in three words: Silhouettes. Inscriptions. Prizm. Indeed, Panini America's newest NHL product is set to launch June 5 boasting ample doses of each of those brand-making blockbusters — and it's hard to decipher at this point which one collectors are looking forward to most.
Hockey's debut of the Prizm technology in special Prizm Preview packs is certainly something to write home about. But the sheer beauty of the autographed Silhouettes and Rookie Silhouettes is pretty awesome, too. Of course, then there's the see-through splendor of the acetate Inscriptions. Ultimately, as is always the case, collectors will decide which of the three they prefer. Either way, it's sure to mean good things for 2012-13 Rookie Anthology Hockey.
Earlier today, inspired by the sheer excitement of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, I ventured back to the massive Acquisitions vault to capture some preview images of the most-recently returned Inscriptions and Silhouettes autographs. Along the way, Panini America NHL Brand Manager Chris Barr brandished one uncut Prizm sheet to add to today's show-and-tell.
Enjoy — and let us know your thoughts on 2012-13 Rookie Anthology Hockey so far.

Hi All, I have been using PgAdmin for a while now and feel that the following two have been the most troubling issues with PgAdmin (when compared with something like MSAccess). 1. Limiting the default row-count in EditGrid to a given X: It doesn't really matter that the number be 100 or 1000, but inevitably I've seen people in office having to 'End Task' PgAdmin just because they clicked on the Grid-icon for a 4 million row table. Frankly, its happened quite a few times to me as well, and although it is avoidable, practically speaking, until we get a cursor based 'Page Down' support in EditGrid, I really wish if we could have a row-limiting support by default (which is changeable from the drop-down). Probably have this limit changeable in frmOption as well ? 2. PgAdmin becomes irresponsive waiting for a simple query to succeed: Its happened many a times that I have a large dump taking place (for e.g. Refresh of a large-Materialized-View running, which essentially is a DELETE FROM TABLE, along with a large query that regenerates the hundred-thousand-row table). Alongside this (in the main PgAdmin window) if I simply click on any other table/view/function, PgAdmin just gets stuck pulling this table's (or view's/or function's) structure from the database. Now frankly, many a times I don't really care as much for this item's structure as much as I wish that PgAdmin doesn't get stuck until that large query finishes in the parallel window. Moral: Whatever is running in the background, PgAdmin should at least be responsive to user commands. Both of these have happened to me so many times, that you could say that I write this email out of sheer frustration, but I hope it would be taken in good intent. Also, I am unsure as to whether I would be able to take out time to work on this myself, but I thought I should get some feedback from the community beforehand. Thanks, and feedbacks eagerly awaited. *Robins Tharakan* p.s.: Although I occasionally do some PgAdmin development in Ubuntu, my production work mostly happens in Windows, so I don't know if both the issues (mentioned above) are commonly present across platforms.

A Callaway County man, already behind bars, faces more child sex crime charges.
Wednesday, the Callaway County prosecutor charged 45-year-old Dale Dietsch with three counts of statutory sodomy involving a child under the age of 14.
However, Dietsch is already in jail after he was charged in February with promoting child pornography and possession of child pornography.
Those charges came about after a joint investigation by the Holts Summit Police Department and the Boone County Sherrif's Department Cyber Crimes Task Force.
During that investigation, police learned Dietsch babysat children who lived near his trailer on North Summit Drive in Holts Summit.
Investigators talked with two of the children, ages 5 and 9, Dietsch had watched.
The 5-year-old girl told police about instances of sexual contact she had with Dietsch, including times when she was forced to touch his genitals and times when he touched hers.
The girl said the sexual contact happened between July 2012 and December 2013 in or around her home or in or around Dietsch's home.
Dietsch is already in the Callaway County Jail for the charges of promoting child pornography and possession of child pornography with a bond of $10,000.

Two-year-old Bronx spent the day with his dad Pete Wentz – the pair were spotted heading to a friend's house in Beverly Hills, California (March 21).
It looks like Pete decided to ditch the mane of curls he's been rocking recently, showing off a clean-cut new 'do instead. Do you like it?
Bronx seems to be splitting his time between his parents since they announced their surprising split last month – we spotted the adorable toddler out with mom Ashlee Simpson just yesterday.

Strangers meeting becomes book sensation
Many are the obscure dreams of the modern humans, however the aspiration of someday finding some quiet place in Tuscany and spending their days writing books about their everyday Tuscan experiences must feature quite high on that list. However few but the very richest amongst us have been able to realize this modern aspiration and turn this pipe dream into a plausible reality. However the droves of ex-pats that still flock to this sacred and mysterious land to buy houses or to spend a summer hiking around it prove that its still a plausible possibility.
A stranger and less plausible possibility would be that two of these pipe-dreamers should actually meet, by chance and actually discover some unlikely common ground between them in this fast and frenetic modern world of ours, especially that of writing books. Well that is exactly what happened to two budding authors one day, deep down in the heart of Tuscany, near Chianti, Tuscany's famous wine-producing region, noted for it's unorthodox and bohemian attitudes.However this unlikely meeting did not occur over a glass or two of fine Chianti Classico (Chianti's famous red wine), but instead over a pint of Celtic brew- Guinness in an Irish pub in the centre of Tuscany's peaceful, rural city- Siena, a city which symbolizes everything that's Tuscan about Tuscany.
These two particular budding authors had no idea that their paths were due to cross and that their literal talents were set to become one of the literal success stories of the year! However that is indeed what occurred between Dario Castagno and Jonathan Radford one afternoon while enjoying a hearty, black Irish stout in the heart of Tuscany. Dario, having been born in the UK to Italian parents, but having grown up in Tuscany had just recently capitalized on his perfect command of the English language by writing his detailed yet controversial account of years spent guiding groups of tourists around his beloved Chianti. Jonathan, having just finished reading Dario's book right there in the pub just moments before Dario's arrival could not quite believe the coincidence of finding himself face to face with the author of "Too much Tuscan sun" moments after having just finished it, right there in the pub.
Curiously Jonathan had also just finished work on his first book about his own life, dedicated to designing gardens from childhood, which had taken him from England to the heart of Tuscany, to that very barstool, in that precise moment of time! Jonathan, who had been searching for a publisher for his line's could not turn down the opportunity to put forward his own manuscript, and Dario, who had been searching for original titles for his growing editorial company accepted gladly the offer to read the account of an Englishman dedicated to creating natural beauty with plants.
Just a few weeks from this "chance" meeting in an Irish bar in Tuscany the two books were on sale and soon became the literal curiosity of the year, selling all over Italy. Could this example serve to prove that even the most obscure of pipe dreams are possible with determination and a touch of good old fashioned Tuscan (or Irish)... luck?
These books are available from most airports, bookshops or direct from www.toomuchtuscansun.com , along with various other Tuscan products such as extra-virgin olive oil.

I had botox done for chronic migranes by a neurologist so it was covered under my insurance. it has been about 4 days since the injections and so far totally not worth it. I'm in extreme pain in my neck (listed as a side effect on botox dot com) and still have migraines.
maybe the neck pain will subside along with the migraines, or maybe they will both get worse as it seems to have for so many of us. only time will tell. as of right now, I would NOT have this done again.

If (and that is a big if) anyone is actually addicted to porn they must have an extremely high threshold not to be throughly bored by "samo samo". (Boy meets girl, get naked, girl plays with boy, boy enters girl in one or more of three ways - film ends). Must admit that I did see Sound of Music some 26 times but that is beside the point.
The main objection these people probably have to raise is that they themselves feel inadequate in comparison to the actors used in porn - true some of the positions are impossible unless you are more than well endowed but what the heck - if you can at least do some of them there is a chance that a boring routine could become fun - treat porn as an eye opening information manual and it might just cut down on some unhappy marriages; perhaps it should be mandatory for all to watch some at least for one hour a week.
(Married 38 years and still having fun)

I don't even own a laser printer. I use a basic H-P Ink Jet.
So far, I haven't employed any of the versatile design templates - I just put my message on the first, clear white background. I center it - each line stacked neatly on top of the next. If I want info on both sides I just put it through the printer a second time (remember which side is "heads up")
Say you have a brief message that you'd like 20 or 30 people to have in hand. The template makes it easy-peasy lemon squeezy.

I have a box of 250 of the business cards 5376 and I have a complaint. The perforations on the side strips work as they should, but the top and bottom strips do not come of easily and cleanly. The perforations "only work on one side" — that is, you can fold one side and the surface of the paper "cracks" but when you fold it the other way, you get an irregular bulge as if there were no perforations.
When I finally got through to Support Chat, they could say was buy the Clean Edge instead! Why make a perforated product if it doesn't work properly??

This review is from Laser Business Cards 5911:
I print business cards on my own using these sheets, but the quality this time that I brought them has been really poor. The cards are very flimsy. They break along the perforation while they are being printed, so the cause the printer to jam. These card sheets used to be a better quality where they did not break when they went through the printer. No I am beginning to wonder if all other Avery products are this poor in quality. You have lost a valued customer due to this.
This review is from Laser Business Cards 5371:
Downloaded the MS Word template and made a simple business card. Ordered the paper and after trying a few sheets realised that the temaplate does not fit the paper at all. Waste of time, not happy.
- Pricey / Poor Value
Best Uses
This review is from Laser Business Cards 5371:
I just received the second 250 pack of Avery 5371 business cards that will not tear along the long lengths of the cards. Only one side of the sheet is perforated. The other side just bends and will not break free. Separation leaves VERY rough torn edges on the cards. This latest pack is date coded 21/05/16 TJ 18:53 AR-05. These sheets are not acceptable for making business cards that our business can use.

This review is from Laser Business Cards 5911:
I just ran several hundred pages of these cards to find out that the perforation is completely misaligned. The Microsoft template has equal margins on each side, but the perforation is not centered on the actual cardstock so the left margin is way larger than the right margin. My printer is perfectly aligned so I just wasted a lot of money printing non-centered business cards.

PARIS (Sep. 30)
The executive committee of UNESCO will deliberate here Thursday of the question of admitting the Palestine Liberation Organization to the organization as an observer. Political analysts are predicting that the line-up of countries in the UNESCO vote will mirror the predicted majority which is forming in the United Nations General Assembly to sponsor the admission of the PLO. The Israeli delegation to UNESCO is strongly opposing the resolution.

WATSONVILLE -- Tucked in a corner of the J.J. Crosetti Building wearing a black quilted vest, Dorie Javier peaks up from her embroidery hoop and needle as shoppers stroll past her colorful booth.
The Sacramento-area retiree has sold her vibrant designs and pattern-making gadgets for the past three or four years at the Pajaro Valley Quilt Association's annual Quilt Show at the County Fairgrounds. Of the 24 shows she attends each year, she said Watsonville's feels like home.
"The people are very friendly," Javier said, noting the potluck dinner served on Friday night before the two-day event gets under way. "It's just like visiting family."
A walk through the exhibit demonstrates quilting really is more than just a skill or pastime. There seems to be narrative weaved into each panel; the quilter as artist and storyteller.
Miriam Janove set a mariner's compass inside a ring of flying geese bordered in primary colors to celebrate spirituality. Billie Street and Mike McNamara collaborated on a quilt made of recycled blue jeans and fashion labels, while Marilyn Francesco assembled a collage of family photo for a nostalgic piece begun by her aunt Dora Cesary, who died at 91.
"It's breath-taking, the amount of work that is involved," Bonny Doon's Lynne Alper, who made her first visit to the show Sunday, said of the diversity on display. "You can incorporate anything (into quilts) these days."
In front of visitors as they entered the hall hung the American flag-inspired quilt stitched by emergency dispatcher Kristine Ebersole featuring the badge numbers 105 and 172 of Santa Cruz police Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker and detective Elizabeth Butler. The pair were killed in the line of duty a year ago Wednesday.
"In my sadness and shock, I was moved to create something that would express my grief and respect at the same time," Ebersole wrote on a card explaining the tribute.
Quilting is indeed an outlet for expression, Javier said. After picking up the hobby more than 30 years ago, she left the corporate world to make quilts full time.
"It's more exciting than a job," she said of visiting with return customers. "You see other people because they're your friends."
At nearly 1,000 tickets sold Saturday, the 36th annual event looked on track to do well once Sunday's numbers were included, said Maris Azevedo, a representative of the 350-member association that meets regularly at Temple Beth El in Aptos. Azevedo attributed the weekend's good attendance to warm weather and strong traditional quilts and artistic varieties.
"We have a wonderful group," she said. "That's why it's so good."

Now that we know where to find coupons, and how to organize them, let's work on how to use them! If you have missed any of my "The First Cuts" posts check the Beginners tab at the top of the page!
Store Sales and Coupons
This is the biggie folks! The way to save the big bucks! You can't just use coupons; you have to match them with the store sales. That is how people walk away with such big savings!
Think about it! If Ritz crackers are BOGO (Buy One Get One Free) for $3.99, you are getting 2 boxes at 50% off. Now, add 2 $1 off Ritz Cracker coupons. You just snagged 2 boxes of crackers for $1.99! Those same 2 boxes of crackers would have cost you $7.98 if they weren't on sale, and you didn't use coupons! You saved 75%!
You guys are lucky because you have the use of tons of amazing websites that take all the work out of coupon matchups! For Publix, visit I Heart Publix! Michelle does an amazing job of listing all the coupons that go with the sale items! For other stores visit my links page. There are tons of blogs that cover the different stores. If you can't find one for your local store shoot me an email and I will help you out!
What if what I need isn't on sale? Well, that is where stockpiling comes in! Another day… Another post!
Basically you purchase items that are on sale while they are on sale. Store them in the pantry or freezer until they are needed. That way you get them for the lowest possible price.
Also, look for the coveted $10/$50 and other $/$ coupons! These are big savers! Oh, and coupon overages can help you save big bucks!
Coupon overages
What is a coupon overage? When you buy and item for $2 and you have a $3 off coupon you will get an extra dollar off your other groceries.
Some stores are not overage friendly! They should be. They are getting reimbursed the face value of the coupon plus a handling fee. So, they are making money off you couponing! If a store wants to mark your coupon down, or not give you face value, in my opinion they are committing fraud. They are still collecting the full amount! Doesn't quite seem fair does it?!
My Publix allows overages, but Walmart and Walgreens do not! At least, in my area. CVS is a hit or miss for me. Target is sometimes overage friendly. I have found it all depends on the cashier.
Store Policies
Each store has its own coupon policy! Some even differ from state to state; like Publix. You can typically contact the company to find out their policy.
We are going to use Publix's because I know it, and most of you shop there. 🙂
Publix accepts competitor's coupons! This is huge! However, it is up to the store manager who they consider a competitor! You can simply call the stores customer service desk to find out! My store takes anyone within 5 miles including CVS and Walgreens!
Publix Stacks Coupons! What does stacking mean? It means you can use 1 manufacturer's coupon and 1 Publix or competitors coupon per item. Still confused? It looks like this! Here is an example from the upcoming sale.
Hellmann's Easy Out! Mayonnaise Real or Light, 22oz bottle, BOGO $4.69
-$.25/1 Hellmann's product, any 16.5 oz+ – 05-23-10 RP
-$1/2 Best Foods Or Hellmann's Mayonnaise Products, Any 15 Oz. Or Larger (Target Coupon) – 04-25-10 RP
Now when you purchase 2 Hellmann's Mayonnaise your total is $4.69
- You will use 2 -$.25/1 Hellmann's product, any 16.5 oz+ – 05-23-10 RP (1 for each bottle)
- You will also use 1 -$1/2 Best Foods Or Hellmann's Mayonnaise Products, Any 15 Oz. Or Larger (Target Coupon) – 04-25-10 RP (it's a competitor, so it stacks)
So, your new total is $3.19 for 2 bottles of Mayonnaise.
Here are a couple of important points.
- You will need manager approval once you go over around 50 coupons (Yes, I have done this)
- You will need manager approval if you have more coupons than items (Again very easy to do and very possible)
- Publix customer service is typically so friendly I have never had an issue!
Store Coupons
Now I have you wondering how we find store coupons. Well, Publix makes it easy. They offer 2 in store papers monthly the Green Advantage Buys paper and the Yellow Advantage Buys paper. Both can be found in the turnstile at the front of the store. If you don't see them ask at customer service.
The store coupon is different than a manufacturers. It should say right on it store coupon or Publix coupon. It will also have a different type of UPC code or won't have one at all.
You can always keep your eyes out at the turnstile and throughout the store for seasonal coupon booklets. These are sometimes huge money savers!
I also check other grocery stores sale papers. They sometimes contain coupons. Walgreens is a great source if your store considers them a competitor. They release a monthly coupon book! Target offers online printable store coupons (again if they are considered a competitor.)
These 4 letters hold some of the greatest meaning in the coupon world. YMMV means Your Mileage May Vary. No one's coupon results will be identical. Every store is different. Every sale is different. The coupons in your local paper are different.
You may find a clearance item, have a coupon, and get it for free. My store may have the same item full price, or my manager may not accept that competitor's coupon. It's really all situational.
Stay tuned for the next "First Cuts" post! I should have it up on Thursday Night!

Denton, Texas – Sally Beauty Holdings reported declining net earnings in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. Net income fell 9.9% to $58.9 million, from $64.89 million.
Net sales fared better, rising 2.4% to $919.47 million from $898.24 million. Same-store sales grew 1%. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as charges related to a previously disclosed data security breach, impacted net earnings. Sally Beauty also cited weather as negatively impacting sales.
"Overall performance was solid with positive consolidated same store sales growth of 1%, sales growth of 2.4% and 10 bps of gross margin expansion," said Gary Winterhalter, chairman, president and CEO. "Extremely unfavorable weather in the U.S. resulted in 5,426 store days closed in the fiscal 2014 second quarter versus 1,328 in the prior year, resulting in lower traffic and sales growth in the U.S. Sally and CosmoProf stores. The good news is that we saw positive traffic performance in the regions that were not materially impacted by store closures which gives me confidence that we are on the right track to improve retail traffic in the Sally U.S. stores."
In addition, Sally Beauty named Christian A. Brickman, 49 as the company's new president and COO effective June 2, 2014. At the request of the board, Gary Winterhalter, the company's current chairman, CEO and president, will continue his current roles as chairman and CEO through April 30, 2015 or another date as the board may determine, and will to facilitate a transition of the CEO post to Brickman during this period.

Guest Blogger Jenn Zeller - The South Dakota Cowgirl
Recently, I was given the opportunity to attend Alltech's 29th Annual International Symposium, in Lexington, Kentucky. It was such a great opportunity, I simply couldn't say "no". It would, no doubt, be an adventure.
Now, I've got a confession to make.
I'm scared of bourbon, whiskey and scotch. Those spirits haunt me. You see them on television as the drink of choice, or so it seems. Myself, I've always been a vodka, tequila, or rum kind of girl. I understand them. Vodka has very little flavor (unless infused), tequila is a must have in margaritas, and when in the Islands, who doesn't enjoy rum?
So, what does this have to do with Alltech?
Among the many branches of their business is their very own brewery and distillery.
While I was in Lexington, I was able to tour their brewery/distillery facility and I get to share my experience with you!
Personally, I've always wanted an an answer to the following question:
"What's the difference between bourbon and whiskey or whiskey and scotch?"
Never fear, I have the 411 and pictures to go with!
The tour was a walking tour, that departed from the Hyatt in Lexington. Our fearless leader, Nathan Canavera, the brand manager for Alltech's Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company, led us to the brewery/distillery. As an aside, Nathan is awesome and really LOVES his job.
The tour opened with a brief video from Dr. Pearse Lyons, the Founder and President of Alltech, giving us an introduction to the company and the mission of the brewery/distillery.
Here's the bottling room:
Big brew tanks:
Our passionate guide, Annie, had lots of amazing information for us!
The brewery crafts 5 beers: Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout, Kentucky Ale, Kentucky Ale Light, and Kentucky IPA.
Bourbon Barrel Ale, is actually placed in Bourbon Barrels from another local distillery (see photo below), shortly after those barrels are emptied, and that gives the beer a very distinct flavor and a higher-than-regular-beer alcohol content. I can't lie. I'm kind of in love with Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale.
Once through the brewery portion of the tour, it was time to get down to the nitty gritty process of making bourbon, and whiskey. Or in other words, my questions were about to be answered.
In order to be considered a bourbon the spirit must meet the following 5 criteria:
The distillery hand-bottles all of their Town Branch Bourbon, and why not? If you're going to do something, you just as well do it right! Below you can see the bourbon sitting in the oak barrels, becoming happy. Very, very, happy.
Let's now answer the million dollar question. Okay, so maybe it's not truly a million dollar question, but it is the question I want answered:
What's the difference between bourbon and whiskey?
Whiskey is only made with ONE GRAIN! Hello. *smacks head* Could that be any easier? And, to take it further, if we were making a one grain spirit and we were in Scotland, it'd be called Scotch. I was seriously making this harder than it needed to be.
The Lexington Brewing and Distilling company, makes a bourbon and a whiskey.
The Whiskey was their premiere spirit and is distilled in dual copper pot stills, from Scotland. It's called Pearse Lyons Reserve, after the
At the end of the tour there was a tasting. Honestly, isn't that the reason we take these types of tours in the first place?
They also make a type of Irish Coffee called Bluegrass Sundown. It's actually a dark coffee infused with Kentucky Bourbon and sugar. It's designed to be served warm, with cream on top. If I had had room in my suitcase, rest assured, I'd have taken bottles home with me. It may be heaven.
After the tour concluded we went into the adorable gift shop, which is decidedly decorated like a pub. Shocking, I know.
The passion of the staff on this tour was immense, and I think that adds to the wonderful wonder that make up the products from the Lexington Brewery and Distillery. I learned a lot, met some great people, and as a beer fanatic, came away with additional beer choices.

Launching our Business Golf Mastermind Chapter Program
CEO Allen Bonk announced the launch of a new Chapter Membership Program, to be a Business Golf Mastermind system. Hosted by a Quantum Business Golf sales consultant or local hosts, and featuring up to 36 business and community leaders in each chapter, each group will meet twice a month. Combining two hours of highly leveraged business strategies and two hours of business golf, this will allow members to develop and grow deeper, more profitable relationships on and off the course.
"We're especially proud of our Chapter designated Charity component of each group" says CEO Allen Bonk. "Not only can business people grow their business, and have a lot of fun, but they can truly help a charity make a dramatic difference. In fact each Chapter will contribute a fixed percentage of dues to the Charity, help them each meeting improve their operations, and once a month members will be asked to volunteer half a day to the Charity itself" adds Allen. Truly a way to make good while doing good. For more details on the opportunity, click here.

Childbirth involves peculiar traditions with different nations
In Ancient India and Ancient China, parents began to inure their babies to understand the arts three months after the conception
Candidate of historical sciences, lecturer in History of Medicine at the Pavlov Medical University, St.Petersburg, Larissa Kondrashkina tells about the history of pregnancy and childbirth with different nations.
Pregnancy was always considered the most important period in the life of women of all nations. That was usually a period when women were to observe special rules, and these rules were as a rule similar with different people.
Today, people speak a lot about the importance of applying bringing-up methods even before babies are born. Some of us believe the tendency has outlined just recently, however this tradition was popular even in the past centuries. In Ancient India and Ancient China, parents began to inure their babies to understand the arts three months after the conception. For this purpose, pregnant women had only fine things around them and listened just to fine music; they ate tasty meals sanctified in the church. These measures were believed to make unborn babies beautiful and talented.
Nowadays, doctors say that contemporary pregnant women must have the same environment for better pregnancy and good future of their babies. In the old times, husbands in some provinces presented their wives with jewelry when they learnt about pregnancy. Pregnant women wore clothes made of delicate and expensive fabrics; the blue color was considered the most favorable for the development of unborn babies. Fine music was obligatory for pregnant women, as it is actually good for babies and mothers. That is why, artists in Asian countries regularly organized concerts for pregnant women thousands of years ago.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a special institute assisting women in childbirth in St.Petersburg, Russia, founded with the assistance of famous accoucheur Dmitry Ott. The doctor insisted that the hospital must have a concert hall with an organ. Every week, all female patients of the hospital were invited to concerts at the hall.
In Ancient India and Ancient China, pregnant women always sang, drew birds and plants during pregnancy. These traditions may seem naive, but they do have an effect upon unborn babies. It is known that Napoleon's mother drew toy tin soldiers and imagined they were battling. So, the future emperor probably knew the essence of battles even before he was born. In the cultures of many countries, arts were obligatory for pregnant women.
In Ancient China, pregnant women sang nice and quiet songs, at that the melody and the text were of little importance, as singing first of all helps bring much oxygen to the organism of a pregnant woman. Indeed, during singing we first take a deep breath, and then goes slow exhalation. So, singing is in fact a really esthetic physical exercise.
Contrary to many of the modern recommendations, many nations disapproved of walking during pregnancy. When it was evident that women were expecting babies, they never walked too away from the home. Moslem women were prohibited to go outside before the sunset during pregnancy. On the one hand, it is a good method to avoid heavy UV-radiation. On the other hand, Moslems believed that a baby would be born with too many birthmarks if a mother was exposed to sunrays for too long.
Contemporary couples often want to deliver their babies together. Many centuries ago, men in European countries often stayed in the maternity ward during baby delivery. They encouraged their wives and helped them endure pains and suffering. In addition to the moral support, husbands also served an actual physical support for women during labour pains. Men's presence in the maternity ward was typical of men in Italy, Spain, France, Yugoslavia and Scandinavian countries. But in some countries, husbands were prohibited to enter maternity wards, as only women were allowed to see how babies come to the world.
Women who assisted in delivery, often stayed in the home for some time after the delivery to look after the house. Mothers were not allowed to do anything about the house for several days after delivery. Women in Arab countries had the longest after-delivery rest that lasted for 40 days when they were prohibited to do things about the house. Instead, they were focused on their health and on babies. A tradition similar to this was also popular in Europe and Russia.
In Russia, an accouche became the key figure in the house after a baby came to the world. This woman stayed in a house for several weeks and looked after the baby; she got back home only when the mother was strong enough again to look after her baby herself. This seems to be a wise tradition indeed. Women need some time to restore their health and energy after the childbirth. Doctors say it is important when a woman has someone to help her about the house and look after the baby when she is still weak after the difficult work of baby delivery. In Russia, the post-delivery period traditionally depended upon the well-being of a family. Those who had little money had no opportunity for long rest as they needed to work.

Commodities Present a Murky Picture
For a sports junkie like me, this is the best time of the year. Baseball races are in the home stretch and the Baltimore Orioles are in the thick of things. College football has kicked off and the pros kick off playing tomorrow night. Traditionally, we see volume pick up in the markets as summer homes are closed down for the year and everyone gets back to work. In addition, as this is a presidential election year, the markets will likely be quite news-driven as the political rhetoric heats up.
So it is a good time for this value guy to poke his head up and take a look at the various macro factors in play. I am not a macro trader, but my quarterly look around at the action has generated some solid observations and trends that have played out well and helped me in my search for bargain opportunities. I spotted significant opportunities in oil and gas late last year as well as in distressed markets, including Italy and Spain. I am often able to find safe and cheap securities that allow me to profit from assets and markets that are nearing the point of maximum pessimism....430 more words left in this article.
