Hello! and sorry I have been away for so long. The month is almost over and I have too much to talk about. I don't know if anybody has made time for anything but the new Sade, but I have been listening to many other albums. In fact, I have not even had time to listen to Sade. I was never a huge fan, but like most people, I was a casual fan of "Smooth Operator." It was the single on their first album, Diamond Life, from 1984. Hard to believe it was that long ago! I was only ten years old and easily influenced by top 40 radio. 1984 was the year of some big singles. Songs that will forever be part of my memories. Songs that I know all the words too whether I want to or not. This was the year of "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes, "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club, "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham!, "What's Love Got To Do With It" by Tina Turner, "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper, "Hello" by Lionel Richie, "I Just Called To Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder, "Out Of Touch" by Hall & Oates, "Carribbean Queen" by Billy Ocean, and "The Reflex" by Duran Duran. I know all these songs are now swirling around in your head! Can you think of any bigger songs than these? I may have not owned all these albums, but you can bet I had them all taped onto a cassette tape from the radio! These songs were monumental in shaping my life. They could not be avoided. And this was way before the Internet. Way before music blogs!
1984 also featured huge songs from huge movies. This was back when songs were really a big part of the movie and were really written for specific films to be a part of the plot. Music videos were made featuring the artist singing in front of a screen with the movie projected on it. And some of these songs went on the be nominated for Oscars. 1984 featured "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins and "Let's Hear it from the Boy" by Deniece Williams from the movie Footloose. "I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder was from the movie Woman In Red and "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" by Phil Collins came from the movie of the same name. "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince were from the movie Purple Rain. "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr. was of course from the great classic film Ghostbusters. All of these songs except for the Prince songs were actually nominated for best song that year. The songs nominated for Oscars these days are never nearly as popular. The year ended with possibly the biggest song of my childhood, "Like A Virgin" by Madonna. I really forgot what a listener of mainstream music I was when I was a child, but indie rock did not exactly exist in 1984. And I was a bit too young still for punk rock and more obscure new wave stuff. Anyway, just in case you didn't know, Sade is back with a new album. They have done a lot since 1984 but it has been 10 years since the 2000 album Lovers Rock. The new album is called Soldier of Love, and I do have to admit that I like the single, although, unlike in 1984, I really don't like much else in the top 40.
Also out this month is the new album from Hot Chip. I highly recommend it if you like that kind of thing! It is fun, goofy and nerdy dance music, just like what I have come to expect from them. They are sort of the modern version of Devo. The title track is "One Life Stand." Hot Chip is one of those bands you either love or hate. I can't really talk you into liking them. You just do or you don't. Take a listen to "One Life Stand" and decide for yourself.
I have been a big Album Leaf fan for a while. Jimmy Lavalle is the mind behind The Album Leaf. He was also in fellow San Diego bands GoGo Airheart and Tristeza. This is the third Album Leaf album on Sub Pop. Into the Blue was one of my favorite albums from 2006. I have to admit that I have not fallen in love with this new one as much as the last, but there has been a lot going on. I blame it on the Winter Olympics! I have not had a whole lot of time to listen to music since they have started. I normally hate watching sports on TV but I get Olympic fever whenever they are on and have to watch them every night. I mostly just watch them in anticipation of people falling. I really don't want anybody to get hurt but I do live for the moments when ice skaters fall on their jumps or when skiers miss their turns and tumble down the mountain. I think it just makes me feel better about myself knowing that nobody is perfect. So back to Album Leaf...Listen to their old stuff and then get into this new one. I think the new one is good for sure, I just need to spend some more time with it. I just can't not like this band. They do not hit you over the head with their greatness. You need to give them some time to let yourself fall in love with these albums. But you will. Check it out.
If you know me at all then you probably know that I am not a fan of jazz music. I have tried over the yearsbut I will admit that I have not tried very hard. That's not to say I don't often get out of my indie rock bubble: I love tons of soul music old and new; I love blues and old country; I listen to a ton of dance music; and I often get obsessed with film scores and listen to them over and over; I also love modern classical music (but I will get to that later). Jazz is just the one genre that I have not been able to jump into. And of course Gil Scott-Heron would be the man to possibly get me into jazz music. However, his new album, I'm New Here, is nothing close to a typical jazz album. That's not new territory for Gil though. This new album reaches into the genres of soul and hip hop and electronica more than jazz. It is more of a spoken word, bluesy trip hop album than anything. I am still not sure if I am ready to jump into the world of jazz, but for now, this might be as close as I am going to get. Gil Scott-Heron has had a long and interesting music career and I am not going to pretend to know much about it, so if you would like to know more about his life and music, then read here. I do know that this is his first album of original stuff in more than 16 years. Take that, Sade! And I do know that I love this album. You should too. I am not nearly done listening to it, but I will be exploring his older albums very soon.
I am also very excited about the new album by Rachel Grimes called Book of Leaves. It seemed to come out of nowhere, but it is out now and you should love it. Rachel Grimes is the pianist from the brilliant group The Rachel's, a minimalist post rock classical group out of Louisville, Kentucky. They put out some brilliant, beautiful albums in the 90's on the label Quarterstick: Handwriting from 1995 and Music for Egon Schiele from 1996 remain two of my favorite albums of all time. They often get labeled post rock and associated with bands like Tortoise and Godspeed. I have always called them indie classical, mostly just because of their association with an indie label, but also because of their fans. I was introduced to them my last year in college and became a big fan very quickly. Most of their fan base is made up of indie rock kids that are not the usual fans of classical music. My love of The Rachel's got me into bands like Tortoise, LaBradford, and Bowery Electric, but this is probably the band that first got me thinking about classical music. I really didn't know that there were interesting things going on in the 20th Century in the world of classical music until I first listened to the Rachel's. They really opened up the door for me. I don't know if would have ever explored the albums of Michael Nyman, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Max Richter, and Nico Muhley without the influence of The Rachel's. The band sometimes uses guitars and drums as well but they play mostly classical music. I have always thought of them as people that I would be friends with that just happen to play classical instruments. Rachel Grimes is one of the main 3 members of The Rachel's along with Jason Noble and Christian Frederickson.
I finally got to see them perform for the first time 7 or 8 years ago at Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco. I thought I could look forward to more albums and tours after that but I have still been waiting! The last album they put out was Systems/Layers in 2003, so I was very excited to listen to the new Rachel Grimes solo album. The piano and keyboard have always been my favorite musical instruments. I absolutely love the keyboard and most bands that I like usually have a keyboard involved, and the instrument that stands out for me in classical music and film scores is always the piano, so it is nice to hear Rachel Grimes all by herself -- just her and piano. I love this album. It is one of those records that you can put on in the background but that is impossible to ignore. The music can get deep into your soul and bring out those emotions you might be hiding from yourself. This is one of those albums that I think can be used for therapy -- you can go on an emotional journey with this one. I found myself wanting to cry a couple of times while listening to this album. Thank you, Rachel Grimes! Thanks for helping make those brilliant Rachel's albums. And thanks for not letting me forget about you by reintroducing yourself with this solo album. Check it out. You owe it to yourself.

Entry-level jobs now require much more than a degree. What used to be acceptable accreditation now buffers the internship experience expected in today's job market.
Students are again faced with the pressures of being a step above the rest. Students must explore every avenue offered so they are prepared to head into the workforce upon graduating.
One avenue many students choose to explore is an internship.
"Students who complete internships during their college years have a much better chance of finding full time employment after graduation than students who don't complete internships," said Yair Riemer, vice president of global marketing at Internships.com.
Not only do internships give the student a taste of what to expect in their chosen career, they show future employers what the student is capable of doing, Riemer said.
"According to a study conducted by NACE, the National Association of Colleges and Educators, seven out of every 10 students who complete an internship get offered a permanent job with that same company after graduation," Riemer said.
Dutchinternship.com presents internship experience as benefiting both the student and the employer. The website states taking on an intern cuts down on recruitment costs, meanwhile providing the intern with lifelong skills necessary to advance in their industry.
"One of the benefits of an internship is the fact that your employers do expect good work, but they know you're trying to learn," senior Jessica Cullen said. "Having a good teacher and boss is pivotal in making an internship beneficial."
A general search on Careeroverview.com showed a bachelor's degree will fulfill the minimum requirements but experience increases one's chances of being hired.
Cullen is one of many students who have taken on unpaid internships throughout their collegiate experience.
"I started getting internships the summer after freshman year," Cullen said. "The sooner the better because your internships really build on you."
Cullen interned for KGAN, a CBS affiliate station located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Associated Press and for the United States Olympic committee's USA Wrestling Communication Department.
Two of her three internships were unpaid. However, she said her prior internship experiences lead to her position as a paid intern for the U.S. Olympic Committee.
"All of my experiences were incredibly beneficial," Cullen said. "Everyone has different strengths and you really start to discover this in real-world experience."
There is a big difference between a paid internships and one that is unpaid or for credit. Flexibility in scheduling, expected time commitments and the given workload revolve around these factors, according to Internships.com
"Students should think critically, prioritizing paid opportunities, and really learn about the programs available," Internmatch.com co-founder Nathan Parcells said.
Internships.com offers a breakdown of how the internship works and what to expect.
Although a paid internship is more visually appealing, they require a 30- to 40-hour workweek. Because the intern is on the same level as the employees, the intern is given a consistent work schedule and a vast workload. Paid internships are few and far between, marking them as competitive opportunities, according to Internships.com.
"Internships are competitive as we are looking for the future leaders of our organization," Kohl's University Relations manager Amy Grinnell said. "It's an incredible advantage for a student to understand exactly what the role looks like that they would be stepping into upon graduation."
Paid opportunities are competitive for many reasons: not only does the salary make the intern a member of the staff, but it allows for the intern to be noticed by the employer.
The alternative is an unpaid internship, an option that is often overlooked by students due to the lack of imbursement, Parcells said. Unpaid internships are often more flexible in scheduling because the employer understands that since no compensation is being offered. The intern may have an additional part-time job. Depending on the industry, unpaid or for-credit internships typically have a shorter workweek.
Choosing between the two presents a controversial discussion: Are unpaid internships lawful, and how should they be approached?
This has been an ongoing debate, gaining considerable media attention over the years.
The U.S. Department of Labor has a set standard that must be met by employers in order to have a legal unpaid internship. Laid out in a six-fold format, this standard holds that the employer must be providing the intern with an educational experience that does not directly profit the company.
If the company does not comply with these guidelines, they may face legal action should the intern decide to file a complaint, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
"Most internships should be paid — it is the legal and fair thing to do," Parcells said. "An unpaid internship needs to be exceptionally educational and focus on helping the intern learn about the industry."
Not only is the legality in question, but socioeconomic concerns are also being raised, according to a New York Times article. Although the experience is invaluable, in the current economic situation many students cannot afford to work without pay.
Because of this, many students who are at a financial disadvantage do not gain this experience. To offset this, students can save up in advance or, if possible, work a part-time job in addition to the internship, the article stated.
"Depending on the industry, unpaid internships may be the best way to break into the field," Parcells said. "Make sure you are getting what you want out of the opportunity."
Students must juggle making money and obtaining experience along with course work.
"Making money gets you to the next stop," sophomore Bethany Christo said. "You learn how to deal with people when they are dissatisfied, and how to juggle many things at once."
General work experience can also help students prepare for the "real" world.
"Hopefully, if they can come away from it knowing how to work on a team," Shakespeare's Pizza head cheese Kurt Mirtsching said. "And to be able to do a good job even when their life outside of Shakespeare's isn't going well, then they'll come away with more than just a paycheck."
Experience, in any form, can elevate a student's chances of employment later.

Woman Caught In "Medicaid Gap'; Too Poor for Obamacare, Too Rich for Medicaid
OMAHA(KPTM)-She's worked hard her whole life and has been looking forward to signing up for Obamacare. Oksana Kling was hoping the Affordable Care Act would help her afford the insurance she needs to get surgery and keep on working. But when she logged on to the Marketplace, she found out she's too poor to get help paying her premiums.
Kling says she's overcome a lot, from surviving a house fire, to a car accident after which doctors told her she might not walk again, but Kling says she doesn't believe in giving up. Seven years ago, she started a daycare business. But in August of 2013, she was told she needed surgery on her knee. She has been spending her savings since then just to get by.
Kling had been hanging her hopes on Obamacare to pay for that surgery, but when she logged on to the Marketplace, she was shocked to find out that she couldn't afford it. "The deductible (for the silver plan) is just a few dollars short of my gross yearly income, not counting my premium," said Kling who says she makes seven hundred dollars a month.
She says the cost of the premium alone for the Silver plan would cost her almost all of her monthly income. "$23.00 left over each month to pay rent, utilities, groceries, gas, insurance, prescriptions," said Kling who claims when she called the number given to her on the Marketplace, she asked about subsidies she was told she was too poor to get help under Obamacare. "I am told my income is too low, That I am thirty percent of the poverty level, and you have to be at least 140% or higher to qualify for the subsidies that will give you discounts on your insurance," said Kling.
Kling falls into the so-called "Medicaid Gap," where she says she earns too much for regular medicaid, but not enough to qualify for Obamacare subsidies.A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows tens of thousands of Nebraskans fall into that gap.
Governor Dave Heineman has opposed expanding Medicaid in the past because he says it's simply too expensive. Heineman has estimated that it would cost about $116 million dollars over the next seven years to expand the program. In the past, Heineman said the expansion of Medicaid could cut finding for childhood education. He also thinks it would result in higher taxes.
Today, Senator Cathy Campbell introduced a bill into the Nebraska Legislature, known as the Wellness In Nebraska Act, which would help provide relief for those unable to get coverage under the current laws.
While lawmakers search for solutions, Kling has designed a "Go Fund Me" page, hoping others will help her pay her pay the bills while she looks for a way to afford health insurance and get the surgery she needs to go back to work.

Malaysia Sabah CitySlicker Cutebun - Mabul Island, a Perfect Getaway Spot!2012-08-09 2 7 Share Tweet
I went to Mabul Island last month and it's an ideal place to dive, snorkeling, and also enjoy the sunny beach. I also brought my LC-Wide and LC-A+with Krab, and my mum for a holiday together!
Last month I had the privilege to go to Mabul Island for a short 3 days 2 nights holiday trip! I'm staying in Kota Kinabalu(KK), so in order to go to Mabul, I need to take a 30 minute flight to Tawau, then a one hour car ride to Semporna, and another hour by boat to get to Mabul! I know it sounds exhausting but believe me; the view is so spectacular that you'll forgot all your problems once you are here.
We reached Semporna town after an hour in the car, and to the port! There's a pretty boat from the tribes living in Semporna.
The waves that day were rough so we took more than an hour to reach the island. You can see islands that I took photos of before reaching Mabul.
The warm hospitality really lightens up my spirits to shoot as much as possible.
After putting down our luggage, we proceed to take a look around the island. The beautiful island view and from the jetty is just priceless.
On the second day, I went to join the Discover Scuba Diving program at the jetty. I learnt the basic Do's and Don'ts of diving from my instructor. After a basic introduction and some paperwork to sign, we proceed to get our equipments from the dive shop. The equipments include: weights, dive suit, flippers, mask, oxygen tank and also the underwater breathing equipment.
I was so excited to bring my Krab and LC-Wide to dive with me for the first time! I double checked the Krab to make sure the case is completely waterproof before diving with them. I wore all the equipment except the tank, flippers and mask until I reach the water at the jetty. My first basic dive is conducted around the Scuba Junkie jetty. The area is sandy with a lot of fishes and some creatures hidden under the camouflage of the ocean sand. After an hour, we ascend to the surface to eat lunch and by that time, the oxygen was 90% used up.
I went for my second dive an hour after lunch and I also reel in a brand new film for my underwater adventure! Second dive was on the corals side of the jetty. The corals and creatures are absolutely beautiful. I even saw turtles swimming in the ocean floor! My instructor pointed out a lot of hidden camouflage creatures during our dive. After an hour, we went back to the surface for tea break and also to change a new roll of film into my camera.
As for my third dive, I get to ride on the speedboat to the resort next to the resort where I stay for a dive. The feeling of dropping backwards from the boat into the sea was thrilling and yet excited. I need to hold onto my breathing equipment and mask on my way down to prevent them from slipping. I got more shots this dive and even saw a seahorse hiding in a coral. Although the photos turned out to be not as clear as I seen it, it's just amazing diving underwater and seeing a brand new world.
Overall, it's a new experience diving underwater and having seen a lot of wonderful creatures down below, we should all work towards conserving and protect the environment so that our cameras can continue capturing all the beautiful sea view. My mum and I had fun and enjoyed ourselves on Mabul Island!

I am a working mom who loves to squeeze in listening to books while walking, doing chores or commuting.
"A Christmas treasure so full of hope."
What a touching book full of Christmas miracles! I was feeling down this Christmas season since my mother passed away this year and our family has had a difficult year. This book gives hope and faith.
I loved the narrator.
Yes. He does a very fine job with stories of faith.
I would enjoy meeting Barbara. She just seemed like a woman who heard a different drummer.
Merry Christmas!

10 March '12..
As you know by now, over 135 rockets were launched at Israel over the weekend. The barrage was in response to the targeted killing of Zuhair Mussah Ahmad Qaisi and two other Popular Resistance Committee (PRC) terrorists. The PRC, which was responsible for the recent attack near the Egyptian border, was about to launch a "large scale" attack into Israel. A total of at least 15 more fighters were killed when Israel attacked rocket launching teams in Gaza. The PRC is one of the most vicious of the terrorist militias (see the link at the end of the post).
There are no reports of Israeli deaths, although about a million Israelis spent the night in shelters. Schools will be closed today (Sunday). The Gaza air strikes were targeted precisely and no Palestinians were killed who were not terrorists.
That did not stop the US State Department from issuing a statement including a remark that they "regret the loss of life."
Considering what the PRC has done in the past, this is a somewhat strange thing to say!

Only Child=boring?Being an only child is sometimes the exact opposite of what people think is.When I say I'm the only child in the family,I'll get reactions like "OMG.YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!" or "I BET YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT!!" or even things like "SPOILT I'M SURE." I could say I agree with those 3 but yet,I disagree.
Lucky?Well yeah sure.I don't have to share anything with anyone.I get a room to myself.I don't need to cut my fish and chips in half to share with my little sister or brother.But,I feel anything but lucky (sometimes).I look at my friends with siblings in utter jealousy.When they've got a relationship problem,they could always run to their older brothers or sisters who are ever ready with the best advices and loves in the world for them.As for me who have I got to run to?My parents?Well,being the raw age that I am,I don't even feel comfortable to talk to my parents about relationships.And plus,they're so protective they're not even allowing me to be in one.I feel so envious when siblings have got their little secrets or private jokes with one another and laugh all the time when they're in the train while I'm stuck listening to my mp3 keeping silent in a corner on the train.
The statement "I bet you get everything you want" is something that I utterly detest.The statement's not very true if you come from a middle-income family who struggles from paycheck to paycheck.I do get everything I want.Like 2 months later.If I want a certain bag,I've gotta wait.Till like maybe end of the month?I don't get things on the spot.I don't get to make things the way I want them to be.I feel so hurt sometimes by that statement.Like as if their heads,all only children are like Paris Hilton or something (who is btw,not an only child.)
Being an only child is sometimes really nothing fun.All you do is stare at this four walls around you when your parents are not home.You don't have a sister to go out to the movies with or an elder brother to pamper you.
Maybe I should convince my parents to adopt!Haha,okay maybe not.They wanted to do that last year but changed their mind and I was kinda hurt.Cause I was really hoping for one.
Well,guess you just gotta be happy with you got.Cause afterall,everything happens for a reason.
i kno how u feel
It's super hard being an only child. A problem I have as an only child is that my parents often have high expectations for me, and they are the overprotective kind. It can be nice to know you have people who care for you a lot, but it sometimes very annoying and uncomfortable. I can't relate with my parents too well, my parents aren't flexible when it comes to me hanging out with friends, and they always believe that I should have straight As. It's a lot of pressure on me and sometimes I just feel done. But, I always look at the bright side, my parents are giving me 'tough love' and are kind of encouraging me to do my best which is something I can carry for life. It may be boring being an only child, but in the long run we're kind of lucky!
I am 13 and I just went capping with my friend and she has 4 brothers and a sister and it was fun but now I am home board while she is out playing with them
Try a different point of view. Look around at your school mates. I am sure there are some horrible kids among them. Now consider this. Even horrible people have relatives - some have brothers and sisters. You imagine if you had a sibling it would be some you would like. How about you were stuck with a horrible kid 24/7 that you couldn't get away from because they are your brother/sister. Like someone who never stops talking or leaves you alone so you cannot do anything you enjoy because they are there all the time to spoil it. A lot of the time that is the reality. That is why your friends envy you.
Me too....and I'm 53 and experience depressions often
U are the same as me. I always feel so alone
Wow!! I've been looking for other adult only children, with the same feelings as myself. I agree, I have hated being an only child all of my life. People have such a misconception of how it truly feels for some only children.
I can relate to you in so many ways. I have been looking for a meet up group, but have been unsuccessful finding one in my area. I am in my late thirties and those feelings have never went away for me. I do believe the older I become, the harder it gets. I would love to hear from other people who have experienced the same thoughts.
i never get to see my parents THE whole day because their work starts at 2pm and ends at 1:30 am, i am an only child and i am VERY lonely, and been lonely for 14 years, i never even owned à pet before :(
man i tottaly agree i get so bored and sometimes even depressed my parents work 50 miles away and wake up before i do so i walways wake up to an empty house and have so much built up energy from not being to even talk to anybody i feel very lonely sometimes and it sucks to always rely on friends to keep u company and i hate how sometimes i wont have my first interaction with another human till after 2 pm plus my parents dont come home till 730 pm and go straight to sleep anytips on how to deal with this this has been going on for six years now so u can imagine my loneliness
But what if you guys had a sibling who was never around? You're sibling could be at school, work, or over their friend/boyfriend/girlfriend's house, and you might still be alone.
im going through the exact same thing, my parents said they would adopt but of coarse changed their minds. im glad others understand.
Same here. Being an only child is quite lonely. I remember for several years whenever anyone asked me what I wanted for christmas, or for my birthday, I would say "Something that I can play with by myself", because two or more pla<x>yer games were completely useless to me.
Hello, I was raised as an only, too (but I do have two younger sisters who live with my father and his new wife). I also hate the stereotypes. It is often very sad being the only child, and I know that this will become more evident sometimes than others. Just remember: there are exceptional benefits to what you have grown up with.

The Civil War may have come to a close almost 150 years ago but Republicans in three Southern states still aren't sure its outcome was a good thing. Less than half of GOP voters in Georgia, North Carolina, and Mississippi are glad that the North won the Civil War:
-In Georgia 47% of Republicans are content with the Union victory, while 31% wish the South had won. Democrats (58/17) and independents (54/19) are both strongly supportive of the North, making the overall numbers 53/23.
-In North Carolina GOP voters are almost evenly divided on the outcome of the war with 35% glad for the North's victory, 33% ruing the South's loss, and 32% taking neither side. Democrats (55/15) and independents (57/14) have similar numbers to Georgia but due to the greater ambivalence of Republicans about the northern victory, overall less than half of Tar Heel voters (48%) are glad the Union won to 21% who wish the Confederacy had.
-In Mississippi no group of the electorate seems all that enthused about the North having won. Republicans, by a 38/21 margin, outright wish the South had won. Democrats (39/22) and independents (49/15) side with the North but compared to those voter groups in North Carolina and Georgia they're pretty ambivalent. Overall just 34% of voters in the state are glad the Union prevailed to 27% who wish the rebels had been victorious.
A few weeks ago we released numbers showing that a plurality of Republicans in Mississippi think interracial marriage should be illegal. Democrats there think it should be legal by a 68/18 margin and independents do so 56/21, making the overall numbers in the state 54% who think it should be legal to 28% who believe it should be illegal.
GOP voters in North Carolina and Georgia don't have the same hang up about interracial marriage that their peers in Mississippi do. In Georgia Republicans think it should be legal by a 52/29 spread. Democrats do so 67/20 and independents do 74/13, making the overall numbers 62/22. And in North Carolina Republicans think it should be legal by a 55/30 spread. Democrats do so 74/15 and independents do 80/11, making the the overall numbers 68/20.

IT has come a long way since the time when a tree was growing through the walls.
And these days it is not just the name that gives the King Rufus pub a regal feeling.
This watering hole, in Winchester Road, Chandler's Ford, is royally big – from the 280-cover food operation, to the large car park and the sizeable pub garden.
It was almost exactly a year ago that the pub reopened after undergoing a major £400,000 refit. The outdated decor was torn out, fancy fittings installed and the tree that was making its way through the walls was swiftly removed.
Despite having ample bar space, there can be little doubt that this grand establishment is geared up towards eating – on a large scale.
Inside, there is room for 160 while the beer garden has space for a further 120.
The pub gets its name from William the Conqueror's son who was christened Rufus because of his red hair.
He was killed in an accident while shooting. The history books say that his body was brought through the Chandler's Ford area during the 12th century en route from Southampton to Winchester Cathedral.
So that is why the inn has its name and the menu is overflowing with a feast fit for a King and a Queen.
On Wednesdays guests can treat themselves to a fish supper for two with wine for £19 while there is also a grill night along similar lines. During the day, five dishes are priced at £6 each, making it popular with businesses and pensioners at lunch.
Families flock in at the weekend to capitalise on the appetising prices while a series of deals are currently on offer to celebrate the first anniversary of its opening.
New landlady Liz Elliott moved up from the West Country to take up the reins at the pub – but she knows Hampshire well having been raised in East Boldre in the New Forest.
She said: "People seem to like the friendliness of the place and the quality of the food.
I have settled in really well and have been made to feel really welcome."

I heard from several MUAers that this scent had poor throw. I don't know if it's because I'm in an apartment or maybe she just added some more scent to my tart, but this was AMAZING! It smelled exactly like cookies and cream ice cream. So good... 2nd only to Birthday Cake!

What a nice, creamy comfort scent. I was afraid to try this as I can't tolerate many "chocolate" scents but this does not bother me at all. I'm so glad I decided to give this one a try!

"A sinfully delicious cookie scent! A sweet sugary aroma of a fresh baked sugar cookie with a background of chocolate." ... oh yeah - this one is a HUGE hit! I love a good Cookies and cream scent, but many fall flat - either smelling just like a light cream or like a flat, powdered cocoa. This one is creamy and foody and delicious! I don't get any of those yicky sugar cookie notes I can get from other sugar cookie mixes.

Cookies and Cream is one of my top ten favorites of Allison's tarts. This has such an authentic throw... you can smell the oreo cookies being dipped in the milk, it's that good! A long lasting comfort fragrance that I will repurchase often.

EPA blocks states' efforts on emissions
Agency denies permission to go beyond federal standards
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, December 19, 2007
Washington and other states seeking stricter cuts in vehicle greenhouse gas emissions could have to wait years to see those reductions because of a decision Wednesday by the Environmental Protection Agency.
EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson denied a waiver allowing California to set more stringent limits on planet-warming pollutants for cars, trucks and sports utility vehicles.
Washington and 15 other states wanted to use the California standards.
Instead, the states will have to abide by new emissions reductions included in energy legislation approved by Congress and signed into law Wednesday by President Bush.
The national rules are weaker and implemented more slowly than the California standards, critics said.
Johnson promoted the new rules as more protective in a warming world.
"The Bush administration is moving forward with a clear national solution -- not a confusing patchwork of state rules -- to reduce America's climate footprint from vehicles," Johnson stated in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
"President Bush and Congress have set the bar high, and, when fully implemented, our federal fuel economy standard will achieve significant benefits by applying to all 50 states," he said.
Local leaders and environmentalists were outraged by the EPA's announcement. They predicted that lawsuits challenging the ruling would be coming soon.
"This is a very disappointing decision, and it will make people very angry," said Dennis McLerran, executive director of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, a government agency.
"In over 60 (waiver) requests in the past, the EPA has never denied a request to California," McLerran said. "There is just not sufficient grounds to deny a waiver here."
California is in the unique position of setting its own air quality rules -- provided the EPA grants a waiver allowing it to set rules separate from the federal government. Other states are allowed to follow national or California rules. The EPA has not denied a waiver request in 40 years.
In explaining its decision, EPA officials said that previous requests mostly impacted local and regional air pollution. "Greenhouse gases are fundamentally global in nature, which is unlike the other air pollutants. ... These gases contribute to the challenge of global climate change affecting every state in the union," the statement stated.
Washington was part of a lawsuit that tried to force the EPA to act on the waiver request, which was filed two years ago.
Recent rulings in federal lawsuits across the country have supported California's and other states' ability to adopt stricter standards.
"We still want the California standard," said Stuart Clark, air quality program manager at the state Department of Ecology. "We haven't decided what our next step is here, legally or otherwise."
The new national rules require vehicles to achieve 35 miles per gallon, a standard that starts phasing in for new vehicles beginning in 2011, becoming fully implemented by 2020.
The California rules would begin implementation with 2009 model year vehicles -- which begin selling next year. By 2016, California's law would require passenger cars and some small SUVs and trucks to reach 43.7 mpg. Most pickups, SUVs and larger vehicles would need to achieve 26.9 mpg by 2016.
The EPA claimed the California standards would amount to 33.8 miles per gallon, a figure challenged by environmentalists and state agencies.
California cannot actually set mpg limits for vehicles (only the federal government can), but greenhouse gas pollution limits by default require more efficient vehicles.
Washington will benefit from other aspects of California's tailpipe emission standards that do go into effect with 2009 vehicles.
The regulations are stricter than federal rules for smog-forming pollutants and toxic releases.
But to meet long-term goals set to cut global warming, Washington needs to take a big bite out of transportation pollution, which totals close to half of the state's greenhouse gas emissions.
"Everything we're seeing on the science for global warming says we need to act sooner than later," said K.C. Golden, policy director for Climate Solutions, a local environmental group. "We just don't have that time to waste."

Hi all,
does anyone knows how to disable the popup of the SMS ?
Thanks ...
If your jailbroken then use the cydia app pop up blocker. If your running stock iOS then there isn't anything you can do.
Wait for ios 5 as this will change the notifications on your iphone 4.
Thanks for the replies. I updated my iphone to 4.3.5 - really bad move for jailbreak... I'll wait for the version that can break it.
Do you know when IOS 5 will come out ?
Thanks again ...
iOS 5 will be released around September...
I was wondering can you downgrade the ios version on an iphone?

shirt STÜSSY / legging H&M / blouse ZARA / shoes MARCO MILANO / bag & beanie VINTAGE
you know one thing about me: i am not a heel-mini-skirt-clutch girl. i appreciate comfort so much and to me it's like an own religion. i could never wear something that's not comfortable and gets me through the day without having pain in my feet or having to adjust my skirt every two minutes. but i also think that this doesn't mean not being sexy. combining tight leggings with a loose top and a cool bag is much easier and makes you way sexier, because it makes you feel comfortable and confident.
Non sono una ragazza a quale piacono le gonne super mini e i tacchi alti. La comodità è molto piu importante per me! Penso che mettersi i leggings strette e un top leggero ti fa piu sexy.

A bill that would provide a tax break on the purchase of manufacturing equipment is gaining ground in the Florida Legislature.
The Florida House Economic Affairs Committee voted on April 16 to make Florida more competitive by supporting Gov. Rick Scott's call for elimination of the tax (HB 391). The bill now moves to the House floor for a full vote.
Currently Florida is the only state on the Atlantic seaboard and on the Gulf coast that charges sales tax on manufacturing equipment and this makes Florida less competitive.
The Governor hopes the tax break will help bring more manufacturing firms to Florida, creating jobs in a critical industry for the state. Florida is home to more than 17,500 manufacturing companies, employing more than 300,000 Floridians.
The tax break in conjunction with up to 90% below-market, fixed interest rate financing under the Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 Loan Program for the purchase and installation of new or used fixed machinery and equipment is a win-win for growing and expanding manufacturers in Florida.
Under the 504 Loan Program offered through Florida First Capital, manufacturers put down as little as 10% on fixed equipment purchases with amortization terms of 10 and 20 years available. 504 equipment projects begin at $125,000 and associated fees and soft costs can be financed in the loan to minimize out-of-pocket costs.
"Other states do not charge a sales tax on buying machinery and we've got to do the exact same thing. Florida's current policy puts our state at a competitive disadvantage because most states do not force manufacturers to pay taxes on the purchase of equipment or require them to adhere to regulations for tax exemptions," said Gov. Scott. "Building up Florida manufacturing is about building Florida jobs across our state."
For more information about SBA 504 loans in Florida, contact a Florida First Capital Loan Officer here. Florida's original statewide SBA Certified Development Company (CDC). Email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Phone: 850.681.3601 or toll-free at 888.320.5504.

That is so awesome. You did a great job.ReplyDelete
WOW! Great job! I should cut up an old sweater too :)ReplyDelete
Btw, I found you on WR.

I like yours better than theirs. Lovely.ReplyDelete
I love the mix of gold/black - makes it look very classy and great to wear over a pretty dress! lovely job once againReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 2, 2010 at 6:32 PM
I love this cardi! One of your best yet. LWReplyDelete
It looks really festive! Great job - I might have to steal your idea sometime if I come across some nice lace... :)ReplyDelete
This looks great. I have a question though... Did you add darts to the side or back? The original sweater looks so boxy and the cardigan actually looks like it's more 'fitted'. I'm curious.ReplyDelete
Candi - nope, no darts. When you make the alterations to go from sweater to cardigan you lose some width for seam allowance (the part you fold over and cover with hem tape). On my sweater, this was enough to achieve a more fitted look.ReplyDelete
Hmmm, do you ever have an issue with the back being bigger than the front after making it into a cardigan?ReplyDelete
This is really really lovely. I have really enjoyed your sweater refashions... I might have to copy some ideas too.
Caroline - I haven't run into this problem yet. If you did, you would probably need to take in your side seams.ReplyDelete
Love it! Like yours much better than theirs. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
awesome! love your blog (:ReplyDelete
Super cute. Can't wait to try to make it.ReplyDelete

WBEZ News
Occupy protests echo Chicago's activist past
Organizers of Occupy Chicago say they're intent on establishing a permanent base for the weeks-old movement. Demonstrators marched Saturday from the city's financial district east to Congress Plaza, at Michigan Avenue and Congress, saying they intended to camp out for the night. Chicago police had other ideas, and some 130 demonstrators were arrested in Grant Park early Sunday morning. The demonstration had echoes of Chicago's activist past.
By now you've probably seen the video of protesters being loaded into vans as spectators taunted police. But if you were there, you might have detected a mutual orchestration on the part of police and protesters.
The formal announcement came at 11:00 p.m., followed by two hours of just holding positions. Demonstrators who agreed to get arrested sat peacefully in the plaza. Thousands who didn't agree to be arrested sauntered out to the sidewalk. Police put up the barricades and stood in a sort of formation, some astride horses, and just, kind of, waited.
Officers staged the transport vans and sheriff's buses right on Michigan Avenue, and set up barricades so that hundreds of demonstrators could see as the arrestees got marched, single file along a kind of rope-line, snapping pictures of the sometimes smiling perps, one cop on each arm.
It was made for TV, and that's probably the clip that you and all those potential NATO and G-8 demonstrators saw on the news.
The demonstrators were pretty good at staging, too, with a five-block march along Jackson and the triumphant "taking of the Horse"– facilitated by police and all coordinated with tweets, Facebook postings and the ubiquitous Human Microphone. But their biggest achievement might have been the number of ordinary Chicagoans they attracted.
RAMCA: I'm upset about the fact that in my block, my community has been very vibrant and the last couple of years vacant buildings, vacant homes are cropping up all over the place.
Joy Sigur Ramca says her daughter prodded her to come.
RAMCA: It's just been really difficult, and I've said well something's got to happen.
SOROCK: But our parents were able to make a decent wage and raise a family without college degrees, without fancy jobs and they had a very comfortable middle-class life and I think that is ending for people.
Teacher Alexa Sorock was there with her friend Chad Clark, who wasn't as sure that keeping up with earlier generations is the biggest problem.
CLARK: We were over-consuming. I think a lot of people here aren't asking to have three cars, vacations to the Bahamas three times a year, I don't think that's what people think is reality, or that's what we're fighting for.
So, on a beautiful autumn evening in Chicago, a few thousand folks gathered to hear speakers and to support freedom of expression in the parks, even after 11:00 p.m. With the Bowman statue overhead, a few of the speakers could be forgiven if they got caught up in the moment.
SPEAKER: Nothing like this protest has ever happened in the world.
Semi-retired professor Bill Kreml was wandering in the crowd.
KREML: This city is famous for the Haymarket affair, the Pullman strike, the Republic Steel strike in '37, and so forth. I can of course remember the Civil Rights movement. I marched for open housing in the south in 1967 and then we had the war, the Viet Nam war . So for the younger people it is the first time, for those of us who've been here, I mean, y'know…
By 2 a.m. most of the arrests had been made and the crowd was thinning. But, as in protests past, events of the weekend are spilling over into the week. Chicago police say a handful of demonstrators will be heading to court, after a second night locked up.
There's talk of a protest march on City Hall on Monday.

Research and Teaching: the Second Stretch
In my last post I looked at the issue of teaching modules which may seem to be at some distance from the discipline in which you did your research.
From amongst a wide circle of friends and colleagues who are both research active and teaching-active – to coin a new phrase – I'd say it's extremely important to acknowledge that flexibility is both a personal and professional good. A friend who was awarded her doctorate in 2006 found a permanent teaching post within twelve months of completing. Her lectureship was not in History which was her "home" discipline if you like but in Criminology – she was able to develop a subsidiary interest into one which she could use as a foundation for her career.
In my present teaching post where the focus is on English for Academic Purposes, language and study skills although I am not teaching literature, I find myself drawing upon my doctoral research constantly. Accuracy, structure and space for the imagination – are the three things I would name as the basis of every class I teach.
To put it another way – the proof of the research commitment is in the teaching practice.
Here's to all researchers and teachers, as they seek to bring two worlds together : ).

EXTON, Pa., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Antares Pharma, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ANTR) today announced that it had signed a development and licensing option agreement with ProSkelia, SAS, a company with headquarters near Paris, France, for the development and future licensing of products utilizing Antares Pharma's proprietary ATD(TM) gel technology. The products will contain an undisclosed ProSkelia proprietary compound that is currently under clinical development and will use the ATD gel technology to provide delivery of the compound. Financial terms of the agreement were not announced.
Dario Carrara, Ph.D., Managing Director for Antares Pharma European operations, said, "Antares Pharma's ATD gel technology has already been clinically proven in the field of transdermal delivery of several hormonal drug products. This agreement, with a company of the potential of ProSkelia, is indicative of our intent to establish a broad base of ATD applications in several therapeutic areas."
Commenting on the agreement, Prof. Roland Baron, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of ProSkelia, said, "ProSkelia desires to maximize its product portfolio through development agreements with companies whose technology, when combined with our skills, will increase the potential for our products. We are pleased to have established this type of relationship with Antares Pharma."
ProSkelia is an independent European biopharmaceutical company spun-off from Aventis in July 2002 that focuses on bone disease and hormone disorders. The company's scientific expertise in the biology of bone ("osteobiology"), coupled with integrated cutting-edge research tools, provides it with a unique ability to undertake research and development in these two inter-related fields. ProSkelia's pharmaceutical heritage is evident in both the quality and capability of its team and in its R&D pipeline. With three compounds in clinical development for four indications and ten pre-clinical programs, ProSkelia is well positioned for future R&D collaboration and out-licensing opportunities, as well as M&A activity to grow its business. ProSkelia had the biotechnology sector's largest private equity investment in Europe in 2002. Based in a suburb of Paris, France, ProSkelia employs about 100 people.
About Antares Pharma

These delivery systems are designed to improve both the efficiency of drug therapies and the patient's quality of life.

In addition, Antares Pharma conducts research and development with transdermal gel products and currently has several products in clinical evaluation with partners in the US and Europe.

Bob Dylan's Late-Era Classic Album 'Oh Mercy' Reissued on Vinyl
Bob Dylan's 1989 album 'Oh Mercy,' without a doubt one of his finest albums of the '80s, and by some accounts the start of his late-career creative comeback, is being given the vinyl reissue treatment.
'Oh Mercy' reportedly came about as the result of an unexpectedly sudden burst of songwriting from Dylan, who had gone a while without feeling inspired to pen anything. At the suggestion of U2 lead singer Bono, Dylan brought in Daniel Lanois, who had worked on their landmark 'The Joshua Tree' album as well as records by Peter Gabriel and others, to produce the album.
According to Dylan's own book, 'Chronicles, Vol. 1,' the partnership was a difficult but ultimately rewarding one, with the pair clashing over arrangements, tempos and overdubs, but ultimately creating one of Dylan's most cohesive and appealingly textured albums in years.
It couldn't have been that rough of an assignment, because in 1997 the two reunited for another classic album, 'Time Out of Mind.'
Highlights of the album include the upbeat, vaguely Bo Diddly-ish rhythms of 'Political World,' the churchy piano anthem 'Ring Them Bells,' and the snarling 'What Was It You Wanted.' The album's first single 'Everything is Broken' was apparently a source of much debate between Dylan and Lanois, but has become a fan favorite over time, as has the stirring, rueful ballad 'Most of the Time.'
The attention-grabbing cover art was taken directly from a mural Dylan rode past on a bicycle one day on the way to the studio, with CBS record label representatives having to track down the extremely poor and understandably skeptical artist, named Trotksy, in order to secure the rights.
'Oh Mercy' is being released on high quality 180 gram vinyl by a label named 4 Men with Beards, who specialize in getting really awesome albums by the likes of the Velvet Underground, Funkadelic and Iggy Pop back into stores on wax. You can order their reissue of 'Oh Mercy' right here.

Herman Badillo finally received his first public funds, $356,723, from the city's Campaign Finance Board yesterday, more than six months after losing the Sept. 25 Republican primary to Michael R. Bloomberg.
During his mayoral campaign against Mr. Bloomberg, who spent his own money in the race, Mr. Badillo was unable to demonstrate to the board that he had raised the full $250,000 from at least 1,000 New Yorkers that is necessary to qualify for public financing.
A few days before the disrupted Sept. 11 primary, the Campaign Finance Board ruled that he was about $10,000 short, and denied Mr. Badillo about $1 million to which he argued he was entitled. A State Supreme Court justice upheld the decision.
A post-election audit revealed that Mr. Badillo ultimately did meet the requirement for the city's 4-to-1 match of small contributions, a board spokesman said yesterday.
The board also released $51,267 to Norman Siegel, the civil liberties lawyer, who lost the race for the public advocate's post to Betsy Gotbaum. The board also assessed penalties of $180 to $400 against about a dozen candidates, most of them for City Council, for a number of violations. Mr. Badillo was included in that group, amassing about $1,500 for several such infractions.Continue reading the main story

Haunter Spooks Cinccino
A 5th Gen NU Team
Well first off, I'm extremely new to competitive battling. Which is somewhat surprising. Thought I'd never get into competitive battling, yet here I find myself extremely interested in it lately. I've built this team, and I've had a bit of success with it, winning about 50% (probably less, lol) of my battles. I would like to see that percentage go up, so any bit of help with this NU team will be extremely appreciated.
Team Building
The first team member I added was Cinccino. I love this chinchillas speed and ability to come in late and pick off the remains of teams.
Next, I chose to add Magmortar. In order for Cinccino to come in late in a match and finish off the team, I needed a strong wallbreaker.
Leafeon made the team next. With Quagsire being a threat, I needed and wanted to add a grass type.
Next, I needed a Pokémon that was capable of Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin. Here is where Armaldo made the cut...at least for now.
Absol made the team next with it's incredible attack stat. However, I'm still not sure what set I should go with here.
And last but not least, Haunter makes the team. This spot was originally for Floatzel, however I have seen a bit more success with Haunter in this spot then Floatzel.

Colorado Ballet - March 1, 2010
Thanks to a generous contribution from an anonymous donor, Colorado Ballet was able to offer over $100,000 (2,743) in free tickets to the Company's production of Beauty and the Beast. Tickets for the entire run of the production (Feb. 19-28) were distributed on a first come, first serve basis to children and families in the Denver community looking for a distraction from the economy.
"This was a phenomenal gift, both to Colorado Ballet and to the Denver community," said Colorado Ballet Acting Executive Director Denise Sanderson. "We all know people who have been significantly impacted by the economy. This gift not only gave Colorado Ballet a needed and much appreciated boost, but more importantly, it gave impacted families an emotional boost, proving that Einstein was correct, art does nourish the soul."
Families from all over the Denver area, and even from as far as Colorado Springs and Summit County, were able to attend Beauty and the Beast. Colorado Ballet also distributed many tickets to larger groups from various organizations including the Ronald McDonald House, The Bridge Project, Growing Home Inc., the Boys and Girls Club, patients from the terminal cancer ward at Children's Hospital, Gust Elementary and the Starlight Children's Foundation.
According to Craig Bond, Ticketing Services Manager for Colorado Ballet, ticketing agents were astounded by the outpour of appreciation from patrons. While the donor has chosen to remain anonymous, countless people have offered their gratitude and thanks for the munificent gift.
Families redeeming tickets brought ticketing agents to tears recounting stories of low and reduced incomes, unemployment, illnesses resulting in drained bank accounts, mentors, recent immigration, bankruptcy and disabilities.
"It has been amazing to speak with so many of these families," Bond said. "Initially we were hesitant about people taking advantage of the gift, but what we saw was just the opposite. Every person we spoke with had a compelling and inspiring story."
According to Bond, the most inspirational story he heard came from a grandmother raising her daughter's four children.
"Her daughter loved dance and until now, she had been unable to share her daughter's passion with her grandchildren," Bond said. "It was incredibly important for her that her grandchildren have that connection with their deceased mother."
The goal of this generous gift was multifaceted. The tickets helped to ensure that children and families who wanted to see Beauty and the Beast, but because of economic circumstances, could not, had the opportunity. This donation also helped to broaden Colorado Ballet's audience and allowed the organization to share the art of professional ballet with many individuals who otherwise, would not have had the opportunity.
"It is truly inspiring to dance for new audiences, especially those who have been struggling in recent times," said Colorado Ballet Principal Dancer Sharon Wehner. "I am honored and delighted to be a part of this and I will be thinking about it each time I go onstage as Belle."
