Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500
Best way to a paperless archive
I once left a box of important files out in the rain and wasted a lot of time reviving them. Ever since then I have been digitizing all paper in my life and then tossing the paper. This nirvana is possible using the auto-feed Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500.
I used to scan documents on my HP scanner-printer-copier, which is mind-numbingly slow and had a buggy driver that crashes my computer, forcing a reboot about 25% of the time I use it. Now with the Fujitsu ScanSnap I set a stack of up to 50 two-sided documents into the sheet feeder and it whips through all 100 pages in two and a half minutes. I was honestly surprised that my laptop was capable of accepting data at
such a fast pace. This scanner doesn't hog a lot of precious desktop real estate, either. It's surprisingly small — about 11.5 inches wide and 5 inches deep, with the feeder and output flaps folded in.
I configured my SnapScan to send scanned documents as PDF files to my Evernote account, although this is not required. (If you don't know about the previously reviewed Evernote, it's an outstanding online service that accepts images, sound files, notes, scans of documents, and just about anything else you want to throw in it. It saves these files on your computer and on Evernote's servers so you don't have to worry about losing your data. It also runs a character recognition routine on your documents so you can search for them later.) This first few times I scanned to Evernote, I carefully checked to make sure that both sides of each page had been scanned correctly. The SnapScan software discards the sides that are blank and has a sensor that detects when two pages go through the feeder at the same time (which rarely
Evernote's character recognition is almost flawless. That means my documents can be found by entering keywords into Evernote's search field from my Evernote phone app. The other day I had to search for a mortgage document from my files while I was away from home and I pulled it up on my phone in less than a minute. It is so easy to scan
stuff, and its "transcription" of text is so good, that I now scan business cards, menus, any paper document I might want to look at again. Then I throw the paper out.
Since I got the ScanSnap, I've been processing about 100 pages of documents per day. The software straightens out the images and orients them right-side up. The only time it jammed was when I tried to stack too many of the water-damaged documents through it. The downside, if you can call it that, is the high price tag: it's $419 on Amazon. But when I think about the hours and hours of time wasted waiting for my HP flatbed scanner to creak across a document, the price seems very low.
I am finally on my way to a fully paperless office.11/30/10

VANCOUVER, April 13, 2014 /CNW/ - As part of the move to a new computer system for our insurance business, ICBC identified less than five per cent of our optional insurance customers have an incorrect description assigned to their vehicle which impacts what they pay for their optional insurance.
Based on analysis to date, ICBC estimates on average 1.8 per cent or 40,000 optional insurance customers per year had an incorrect vehicle description which resulted in an overpayment on a portion of their optional insurance. The average overpayment per year was $21. ICBC also estimates on average 2.7 per cent or 58,000 optional insurance customers underpaid on a portion of their optional insurance per year. The average underpayment per year was $34.
"We are going to ensure all of our customers who overpaid on their optional insurance over the last six years receive full refunds with interest," said Mark Blucher, president and CEO. "The modernization of our systems will ensure this doesn't happen in the future and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused our customers."
ICBC is working on the five principles outlined by Transportation Minister Todd Stone including:
ICBC is committed to having this issue resolved within 90 days.
"ICBC's first responsibility is to our customers," said Jatinder Rai, chair of ICBC's board. "The board and management have been working to identify and resolve this complex issue as a priority."
Updates to vehicle descriptions will be made in the coming months. New technology will use the vehicle identification number (VIN) provided by the vehicle's manufacturer to automatically capture the vehicle description (make/model/type). Today, this process is done manually.
ICBC is working to update vehicle descriptions for affected customers, including looking back over the last six years to July 1, 2008, to reimburse customers who paid too much for their optional insurance. Customers who underpaid will not be charged the difference for prior years. ICBC is going as far back as its insurance system is able to accurately recalculate historical premiums for our customers.
Estimates based on analysis to date
How many customers overpaid?
On average per year
Over six years
Average cost per customer per year
Total cost of refunds
How many customers underpaid?
On average per year
Over six years
Average cost per customer per year
Total cost of underpayments
How many customers are not affected?
The first time a customer visits an Autoplan broker to register and insure a new vehicle, the broker selects the vehicle's description (make/model/type) from a dropdown menu. Based on this selection, the system groups vehicles together based on factors like body style, horsepower, costs of repairs and vehicle price.
Each group of vehicles is then assigned a vehicle identification code (VIC) which helps to calculate a portion of what each customer pays for their optional insurance. The system is manual but requires detailed information which was sometimes difficult to identify. One vehicle model may have 10 to 15 different types of trim levels from very basic to a luxury or hybrid model. It is sometimes difficult for brokers to select the correct vehicle make/model using the limited information available to them from the customer and vehicle manufacturer.
Incorrectly selecting the vehicle make/model/type may lead to a vehicle being placed in the wrong group and the customer potentially being charged the wrong amount on a portion of their optional insurance. There is no impact to their basic insurance. Even while working with an aging system, the vast majority of customers have been paying the correct insurance premium.
Your vehicle identification code (VIC) is used to help calculate a portion of your optional insurance premium on the following products:
Many of ICBC's key systems are at the end of their life and the difficulties brokers have experienced with the current insurance system are a clear example of why they need to be upgraded. That's why, over the last few years, ICBC has been investing in much-needed systems upgrades including a new insurance management system, scheduled to be complete in 2015.

La Jolla lifeguard tower rife with cost overruns
Baby bird, seal-pupping, and bad waste pump blamed for budget surprises
Matt Potter 4 p.m., Sept. 21
On the same day that 26 people were massacred in Newtown, Connecticut by a deranged sociopath, another news article came in under the radar:
Man slashes 22 children near China school
BEIJING -- A man with a knife slashed 22 children and one adult outside an elementary school in Henan province Friday morning, China's worst such incident in more than a year.
Interestingly, nobody in China is demanding the government place more stringent controls on knives, whereas there is a long congo-line of politicians and liberal talking heads weaving through the media demanding more gun control in the United States in the wake of 20-year-old Adam Lanza's outrage. Their basic argument is guns kill, so fewer guns means fewer people will be killed. But, does that argument hold water?
No. It does not.
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, is all about saving lives and protecting people from harm, by not letting guns and explosives fall into the wrong hands. It also ensures the timely transfer of firearms to eligible gun buyers. The NICS system was implemented in late 1998. Before anyone can purchase a gun in the United States, they have to pass the NICS background check, managed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The number of NICS background checks is a fairly good indicator of how many guns are being purchased each year.
In what turns out to be a counter-intuitive result, as the number of guns purchased has increased, the murder rate in the United States has decreased. In fact the two statistics - gun purchases and murders - have a negative correlation of -.91 over the 12-year period from 1999 to 2011! For the statistically challanged, that means more guns equals fewer homicides.
On April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma blast claimed 168 lives, including 19 children under the age of 6, and injured more than 680 people. The blast destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a sixteen-block radius, destroyed or burned 86 cars, and shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings. Not one bullet was fired. It was all done with less than $5,000 worth of fertilizer in a rented truck.
The point of all this is that the United States really doesn't need more gun control any more than it needs more knife control or fertilizer control. We need more sociopath control.
It's up to friends, neighbors and family to ensure crazy people don't do crazy things. The gov't can only do so much.
I believe that the opponents of gun control have never felt the helplessness of facing down a gunman. I have survived three types of gunman - the loving family member, a police officer, and an armed robber. All three could have ended my life if I had done just one thing different. When you have faced that kind of fear, then you have a right to lecture me about gun control. Your statistics do not reflect the experience of people who have survived gun violence, but instead reflect an agenda - sell more guns, make more money.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The senior class of Oregon's Reynolds High School in Troutdale held a moment of silence during graduation for freshman Emilio Hoffman, who was shot and killed earlier this week on campus.
Seniors had finished classes and weren't on campus when the shooting happened Tuesday. But they shared an emotional moment as Hoffman's older brother walked across the stage Thursday night.
School spokeswoman Andrea Watson says he was wearing Emilio's soccer jersey.
The Oregonian reports (http://bit.ly/SFOpX0 ) classmates stood and cheered and many made "I love you" signs with their hands.
Reynolds is the second-largest high school in Oregon with about 2,700 students. The gunman in Tuesday's attack was found dead in a bathroom.

I have mentioned before that there is a massive difference between the daily chart and the weekly chart. They give conflicting wave counts and may take a long time to sort out. What it means is that it will be difficult to know if the ongoing bull market in NG will end up as a big bear market rally. I think there is a about a 13 year cycle at play where NG can rally and retrace during those 13 years. The solar cycle has a lot to do with the NG cycles, but we can see NG made a new low after the solar cycle bottom in late 2008.
We are presently heading to the top of a solar cycle and some solar cycle declines have been very positive for NG prices. Looking at a NG monthly chart is just about the same as looking at a solar cycle chart.
I always want to stress that doing any EWP analysis in commodities is completely different than anything within the common stock world, such as the Nasdaq,Sp500,DJIA. Commodities can trend between a sideways channel line for many decades, with the occasional wild bull cycle thrown in to get the public all excited. There is also a larger 233 year cycle in commodities.
Natural Gas will not blast off in a mad dash to the moon but it will get there on a slower pace as I think it is also more fundamentally driven, not like the last bullish phase which had far to much speculative emotion attached to it. The wave 1-2 may also be a "AB" so we have to keep a open mind about it. Eventually NG should have no problem retracing any highs which were made in the last three years, and even potentially match one of the old tops at my Primary degree "B" wave. NG should continue giving us higher lows to keep confirming itself, that it is in bullish phase, with 2012 being a major bottom.

Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup' Is the Toast of His International Shows
Toby Keith recently celebrated the platinum-success of his single, "Red Solo Cup," but even he was surprised by the international appeal of the song. The Oklahoma native recently completed a tour through Europe, where fans in one country proved they may be the tune's biggest fans.
"I'd never played Germany," Toby explains (quote via Country Weekly). "Our first night in Germany, it was over the top. We'd released a video [of 'Red Solo Cup'] on the internet. By the time I get to Scotland, and then we get on down to Germany, and by the next weekend the whole crowd has red Solo cups, and they were real Solo cups. I said, 'Where did you find red Solo cups in Germany?' and they said, 'The internet.' They knew [the song] word for word."
The concert attendees were so fond of the song, Toby had to actually delay his show so they could enjoy it a little bit longer. "It was the strangest sensation. We got through playing ['Red Solo Cup'] in the show, and they kept singing after it was over," he continued. "They kept singing like a bunch of frat guys. It was so loud … They were through clapping and I'm trying to talk and set up the next song, and this big groundswell of lyrics comes out and they start singing again. It was like trying to talk over people who were not paying attention. I finally just backed up from the [microphone] and let them go. Then we kicked into another chorus [of 'Red Solo Cup']. It had already caught fire over there."
"Red Solo Cup" is the only song on the country mogul's Clancy's Tavern CD that he didn't write. That's a rare thing for Toby, who prides himself as a songwriter and only records outside songs if he is overly compelled by them.
"It is so stupid that it's good," Toby tells The Boot of his first reaction to the "Red Solo Cup" demo. "We could play it in here, then play five other songs, give it an hour, walk out and you'd hear the receptionist going (singing), 'Red solo cup!' It's like a nursery rhyme."
Toby will kick off his Live in Overdrive tour on June 14, in Salt Lake City, Utah, with Thomas Rhett and Brantley Gilbert serving as opening acts. See their complete tour schedule here.

176 "Regret nothing. Not the cruel novels you read
to the end just to find out who killed the cook.
Not the insipid movies that made you cry in the dark,
in spite of your intelligence, your sophistication.
Not the lover you left quivering in a hotel parking lot,
the one you beat to the punchline, the door, or the one
who left you in your red dress and shoes, the ones
that crimped your toes, don't regret those.
Not the nights you called god names and cursed
your mother, sunk like a dog in the living room couch,
chewing your nails and crushed by loneliness.
You were meant to inhale those smoky nights
over a bottle of flat beer, to sweep stuck onion rings
across the dirty restaurant floor, to wear the frayed
coat with its loose buttons, its pockets full of struck matches.
You've walked those streets a thousand times and still
you end up here. Regret none of it, not one
of the wasted days you wanted to know nothing,
when the lights from the carnival rides
were the only stars you believed in, loving them
for their uselessness, not wanting to be saved.
You've traveled this far on the back of every mistake,
ridden in dark-eyed and morose but calm as a house
after the TV set has been pitched out the upstairs
window. Harmless as a broken ax. Emptied
of expectation. Relax. Don't bother remembering
any of it. Let's stop here, under the lit sign
on the corner, and watch all the people walk by." -Dorianne Laux

AbstractWhen the call comes in to respond to a time critical target, there is little time for the watchstander to weigh the myriad factors that go into targeting decisions. We know where the target is now, but where will it be when the weapon system arrives to engage it? In order to plan for an effective mission, the planner and watchstander must have an effective movement prediction on known surface vehicles. This prediction should take into consideration vehicle capabilities, the vehicle's environment, and updated observations of the vehicles in question. The prediction technique should also provide the operator/watchstander with a sense of the uncertainty in the prediction based on time elapsed since last observation and possible alternate paths. 21st Century Systems, Incorporated is pleased to address this prediction challenge by utilizing a recent innovation in algorithms derived from nature. 21CSI proposes to use an ant-based algorithm for predicting the future location of a surface vehicle that incorporates vehicle capabilities, previous history, and vehicle environment in its determination. The algorithm includes support for updated vehicle observations and uncertainty regions. We call our concept Ants on the AEDGE (an ant colony paradigm algorithm using the COTS AEDGE environment).

These cherry oat bars (or flapjacks as they're called in the UK) are crisp on top, chewy and rich underneath, with bursts of fresh cherry flavour. They're honestly SO good.
The frosting is made with powdered sugar and a glug of truly delicious Cherry Good, a sweet and tart cherry juice drink with a lovely rich flavour of Montmorency cherries.
Here's how to whip up a batch.
- 200g (7 oz) slightly salted butter (plus a little extra for greasing the tin)
- 150g (5.5 oz) golden syrup
- 100g (3.5 oz) muscavado sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150g morello cherries (fresh & stoned / frozen), roughly chopped into halves or thirds
- 450g (16 oz) Scottish porridge oats
- 125g (4.5 oz) icing sugar
- 1½ tbsp cherry juice
- 3 small (18cm x 11cm) foil baking tins
- Preheat the oven to 200C/390F (180C/355F fan assisted)
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, golden syrup, sugar, vanilla over a low heat until completely dissolved.
- Stir in the cherries and heat for a further minute, then stir in the oats.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased loaf tin and press down gently.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then leave to cool completely.
- Peel back the tin and carefully remove them from their trays.
- Mix the icing sugar with the cherry juice to form a thick liquid icing. Drizzle diagonally over the flapjacks.
- Cut each tray into six bars with a sharp knife.
If you fancy trying this later, don't forget to Pin it!
The crisp, refreshing taste of Cherry Good is great to enjoy as part of a balanced breakfast or on-the-go as a healthy and tasty way to keep hydrated. Pick some up in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose and Morrison's for £1.50 per litre carton.
Alternatively, Cherry Good Light contains only 32 calories per glass, but still boasts that rich flavour of Montmorency cherries. Grab some from Waitrose, Asda and Sainsbury's, RRP £1.50.
This is a commissioned post for Cherry Good.

Is RG3 Ready?
There's already more coverage of Robert Griffin III than you can shake a stick at – even I wrote about him last week – so chances are you're sick of hearing about the Redskins' quarterback. We won't spend dwell on this, but it's worth noting RG3 is only eight months removed from tearing his ACL, and didn't take a single snap during the preseason.
Prediction: Griffin is not sharp tonight. Maybe the knee is 100% or close enough, but teams can't simulate the speed and intensity of an NFL game at practice, where he was also limited for much of the summer. If this were Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, I'd be a bit more confident they could shake off the rust quickly, but RG3 swag or no, he's still a second-year QB with a lot to learn.
Skins' Running Game vs. Eagles' D
Alfred Morris and the Washington's vaunted ground attack versus the Philadelphia's defense is the mismatch of the night – at least on paper. Morris finished second to only Adrian Peterson last season with 1,613 rushing yards, while the Redskins averaged an NFL-best 169.3 yards per game. The Birds' D meanwhile was dead last at stopping the run this summer, surrendering 163.5 YPG and a league-worst three runs over 40 yards in preseason action.
The good news is the Eagles' issues there might be correctable up to a point. I broke down the main culprits behind the huge gains here, which each involved either losing backside contain, the deep safety taking horrible angles to the ball carrier in the open field, or some combination of the two. In any case, these seem more like mental issues than lack of talent.
If defensive coordinator Bill Davis can get his players to eliminate the 50-60 yard runs that haunted them in the preseason, the Eagles still probably won't have the makings of an elite unit, but they'll at least stand a chance at making a few more stops this year.
Prediction: I don't see the Eagles shutting down Morris, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll run wild, either. Morris' long run during last year's rookie season was 39 yards (including playoffs), and he only cracked 30 on one other occasion. He still averaged a very effective 4.8 yards per carry though, so the Birds will have their hands full.
Does Defense Matter?
Speaking of the Birds' defense, the number one reason most fans and media types don't think the Eagles are destined for any better than 8-8 this season – and in most cases, worse – is just that. Philadelphia was ranked near the bottom in 2012 in points allowed (t-30th) and opponents' passer efficiency rating (31st), and now they are making a difficult transition from a 4-3 alignment to a 3-4 under Bill Davis. There is a chance things could get ugly on that side of the ball.
The question is, if the offense under Chip Kelly is as good as we think it has to potential to be, how important is defense actually? Brent Cohen of Eagles Rewind and Bleeding Green Nation posed this question back in August, and the answer he came up with might surprise you: an average or above-average defense – while no doubt helpful – is not mandatory. Plenty of teams have won or appeared in the Super Bowl in the last 10 years with suspect defenses, but none without a quality offense.
So as long as Michael Vick and company can keep the chains moving and the scoreboard lighting up, and Washington doesn't lay a 40-spot on Monday Night, Philly should have a shot to win.
Prediction: Although they won't be good in any classical sense, the Eagles won't be quite as inept on defense as everybody seems to be expecting. If Griffin isn't sharp and the Birds can avoid the kind of complete breakdowns that have plagued against the run, there is a chance they will force enough to stops to get out of Washington with a W.
Chip's Debut
Obviously the big story in Birdland is Chip Kelly making his first official appearance on the sidelines as the Eagles head coach. Naturally we're all curious about the offense – what Chip has up his sleeve, what the pace will be, and most of all whether it will work in the NFL. We'll finally have a lot of answers by the time clock reaches zero.
As far as debuts are concerned, they don't always go so well. Zach Berman wrote about the time Kelly lost his first game as the head coach at Oregon to Boise St. Bob Brookover delves into look the rocky starts the Ray Rhodes and Andy Reid eras got out to in Philadelphia. And both Inquirer writers could have told us to simply look around the league, as Chicago's Marc Trestman is the only first-time NFL head coach in 2013 to win in his debut so far.
It's a big night for the future of the Eagles, but history and the percentages suggest it might not be all that memorable.
Prediction: The fact that it's Chip Kelly's first game in the NFL likely has zero impact on the outcome. He has head coaching experience, so it shouldn't be an issue of managing the game. It's only a matter of whether or not his system works and there's enough talent on the roster to pull it off.
Final Thoughts
I have a ton of respect for RG3 and think he'll be a very good quarterback for years to come, but I would be a little surprised if he was at his best on Monday night. Provided Morris doesn't rip off a 200-yard game, and the Eagles' offense…
Well, we really don't know what to expect from the Eagles' offense. My gut tells me they're going to be good. What we saw during the preseason (third in the NFL with 397.0 yards per game) suggests they're going to be good. The up-tempo pace practically dictates they're going to be good – in 2012, seven of the eight teams that ran the most plays from scrimmage also had a top-10 offense.
So assuming the Eagles' offense is in fact good, and the defense doesn't wind up getting totally embarrassed, they've got a good shot to win in Chip's debut. My final prediction is counting on Griffin having somewhat of a rough start though.
Prediction: Eagles 37, Washington 27

morning walks
We are getting into the habit of taking a nice morning walk on weekend mornings, Fio and I. We go out around eight, she falls asleep in the baby carrier on my chest and I get a nice soy latte. We end up sitting at a small park in Cole Valley, I read a book while she snoozes. After a couple of hours we come back home to my thankful wife, who I assure you can sure use such a break to catch up on a little bit of sleep. I've never been a morning person but this new life is pretty much turning me into one and I am finding that I really love the quiet peaceful atmosphere of weekend mornings. A lot of parents out there in the early hours … with sleepy eyes and knowing smiles for each other.

Brittany Maddocks, played by Kathy Ireland, was a recurring character seen on Melrose Place, the second series of the Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity. She appeared in season 3.
Brittany was a woman hired by Palmer Woodward to set up Jake Hanson in an attempt to murder him. Brittany seduced Jake with a story about an abusive husband in order to set explosives onto his boat. However, Palmer came aboard and she turned on him, shooting him before offering Jake the chance to run away with her.
Jake refused and she blew up the boat, but not before Jake was able to get away. She was later captured by the F.B.I.

ME ON MONDAY (GETAWAY). 6 Feb 2013
I'm late again, but I have a good excuse. This past weekend I traveled down to Florida to spend some time with family in Highland Beach. I have to tell you that I didn't realize just how tightly wound I was until I was three days into my vacation. On day three, I got off my butt, traded in my bikini top for my sports bra, and worked it out on the beach, Escape style. It brought back a lot of great memories. I can't tell you how much I miss Lithe Escape: R&R, fabulous food, fitness, friends, fun and RESULTS!
Since 2009, Lithe Escape has been a big part of my life; something that I really look forward to every six months. I haven't been able to pull myself away all that much since Mars was born, but now that he's 18 months old, I'm ready (I promise, post Lithe NYC opening!).
I've heard through the grapevine that some of you are dying to go again, as well. I have some ideas in my head but I'd love to know where you would like to go! We could revisit some of the beautiful and luxurious villas and small boutique hotels that we have been to already (Bolt House, Highland House, La Luna & Hibiscus Hill House, Harbour Island, but I'm always game for something new and exciting. I'm taking requests and I'm all ears!

CNBC's Courtney Reagan talks with Ron Johnson, JC Penney CEO, about whether his vision to transform the department store is working, and what customers and investors can expect to see next for the company.
this is a huge scandal in italy. how does it play into the this. in the middle of last year. phillip van heusen, we got a manufactured suggested retail price that really helps customers understand this is our high quality product. when your price is below that, we'd love you to show our manufacturers suggested price so the customer can understand the value. that was one of the biggest learning for last year. i still believe the customer knows the rice prigt for the product and they want a reference and the manufacturers suggested price is a way o conveying value. when we show that along with our price, it really does help sales. the question is what do you do with all of this privately label produced unbelievably well priced in arizona or jcp. it doesn't have a compare. we don't have to make up a price. we can do the hard work to find out what the price would be elsewhere. our buyers and legal team shop three to five specialty stores find the lowest priced item and find the price in three to five stores and whatners pay elsewhere and the way you can find value but rooted in the everyday price being the right price. that's something unique jcpenney. we will see if consumers understand this a little better. coupons. jcpenney got rid of coupons. right now, you're offering a $10 gift if you spend $10? isn't that a coupon? it performance just like a coupon. we are doing that because our customer has told us at times they like to have additional value. as we approach this year, our number one priority is return to growth. also the number two priority and number three priority. we want to return to growth. we think the key to that is coing value. we'll do that in whatever way it takes to return to growth. it all is rooted in the first price being the right price. you had said previously you had to get through one tough year. here we are, five days into year two. you said 2013 would be a year of growth. do you still believe earnings and comps will be growth positive this year. i believe we will return to growth this year. i think it will be easier when we complete this home transformation. as you know, we're adding about 30 shops to our stores. by the middle of the year, nearly 40% of the stores will be all transformed. when that happens, i think people will see the new jcpenney. last year, we had pretty much the same merchandise priced differently. this year, we have different merchandise. joe fresh comes in, in six weeks and home transformation in may. the new jcpenney will come out of the ground and allow us to return to growth. do you think you're still on track for 30 shops? absolutely. what about marsha stewart? she goes to court with macy's in two weeks? will we see her products? martha will debut at jcpenney in may. there are a lot of categories martha will do macy's has never done and greeting lines and helping people throw the perfect party. things like window treatments, there are categories we can do and some categories macy's and martha are in dispute and we will see how that plays out. we have two minutes left. i have a lot of questions. it's been a tough year. you lost $5 billion in market cap, shares lost half their value, credit now junk status. is this transformation still the right move and is that what the board believes as well? absolutely. if i had to do it over again, i'd do it almost like we did knit. i'd change some tactics and be a little more clear on pricing. we had a business model that didn't have any growth in the future. every business needs to build off a growth platform. apple that digital devices in ios. google had search. early in our years, we had a promotional model which had merit but it played its course. we need a new growth platform. it's rooted in helping americans live and look better everyday. the irresistible style unmatched value. if you come today, we have the style of specialist store with prices below target. when americans understand that and start to experience shopping in the new jcp, it will be phenomenal. we'll have a growth platform for years to come. the key was we had to have the courage to transform the business. i'm so proud of our teams for staying the course last year. as we enter year two, we're anxious to get started and return to growth. you say when customers see it. how do you get them back when you're down 20% comps? how do you get that customer back or alienated them. come to our stores right now. our stores are busy. we're gaining that customer back. we know who she is. we talk to her in a variety of ways and it's important to get her back in store. it's even more important to attract new customers. that's the key to this long term, new customers. we had one of the oldest and poorest customers in the industry. we have to over time get a little younger and affluent. what will bring them in is everyday value on products they can't find elsewhere. and not losing the older customer as well. we'd love to keep her. transformations are not inexpensive. you had laid out a plan and cost structure. you also said jcpenney would be able to self-finish and you wouldn't have to tap the line of credit, is that true. ji w we will complete the transformation by 2015 and this year complete the transformation by 40% of nearly 700 of our stores. that's significant. we do it with the cash we have on hand. we've yet to tap into the revolver. doesn't me we wouldn't at some point but we haven't done it in the first year. we said we'd end the year in about a billion dollars in cash. in a couple weeks we tell people exactly where we ended up. our teams did a great job managing our cash during this transformation. there have been reports of layoffs to come or layoffs currently happening at both the headquarters and even some of the salon positions and receptionists. what can you say to address what's going on there? is that because you'reunning out of money? there is a lot of rumors. we have like a rumor a day. today there is a rumor about layoffs at headquarters. i would never talk about that. but you have to separate the fact from the rumor. ultimately we need the right cost structure for this business and we have to grow and we

48 hours in Rio de Janeiro
The beach is best for the citizens of this fascinating Brazilian city. Simon Calder enjoys a caipirinha or two
Why go?
Midsummer in the sunny south of Brazil is always a seductive proposition.
This remarkable city combines sun, sea, sand and samba, which are constantly celebrated by the citizens – notably on New Year's Eve, when two million of them will be on Copacabana Beach. But at any time of year, flying down to Rio has much to recommend it: this is a city that always has a smile on its face and a sun-hat on.
>> Click here for 48 Hours In...Rio de Janeiro map
Touch down
The easiest way is aboard the new British Airways (0844 493 0787; ba.com) non-stop flights from Heathrow to the city's Galeao airport, which operate three times a week. The alternative is TAM (020-8897 0005; tam.com.br).
From the airport, a cab to the farthest-flung parts of town, Ipanema and Leblon, should cost no more than 50 reais (R50/£14). The journey takes as little as half an hour, though two or three times longer in rush hour.
Get your bearings
Because of the way that steep hills clad in profuse vegetation crowd in Rio, the city has complicated geography. The commercial hub is to the north, with the Candelaria church (1) marking the main crossroads for the city. Just to the east, the domestic Santos Dumont airport (2) is the closest-in of any big city. South from here the beaches begin – Flamengo and Botafogo – before the glorious punctuation of Sugarloaf mountain, the city's symbol. You can get an ideal overview by taking the cable car, in two stages, to the top; it departs from the Praia Vermelha base station (3) at least every 20 minutes 8am-9.50pm daily, for a fare of R44 (£13).
Continuing south, Copacabana is the city's "signature" beach, but many visitors prefer the lower-key charms of Ipanema and its western extension, Leblon.
Check in
Where do Duran Duran stay when they play Rio? The Fasano (4), on the ocean at the eastern end of Ipanema, at Avenida Vieira Souto 80 (00 55 21 3202 4000; fasano.com.br). Even if you choose not to pay the $340 (£230) nightly rate, excluding breakfast, to stay at the city's leading design hotel, it's worth calling in to admire the Philippe Starck interior.
A well-located and cheaper alternative is the Ipanema Plaza (5) at Rua Farme de Amoedo 34 (00 55 21 3687 2000; ipanemaplaza.com.br). A double costs $110 (£75) a night, excluding breakfast.
There are plenty of cheap hostels, such as Mellow Yellow (6) at Rua General Barbosa Lima 51 in Copacabana (00 55 2547 1993; mellowyellow.com.br).
Take a hike
Three miles, two beaches, and one long and beguiling stretch of sand: that is the prospect awaiting you at the eastern end of Ipanema beach. Clamber up on to the rocks of Ponta do Arpoador (7) for a fine view of the bay, then wander along the beach noting the numbered lifeguard posts. Each post traditionally attracts a different group of people. Post seven is popular with suburban visitors and is also nearest to Rio's best surfing beach. Eight is the gay post, while nine is for young people and 10 is for the rich and famous.
Once you cross the canal that leads up to the lagoon you leave Ipanema and join Leblon. At the end of this stretch of beach is a statue of a local gossip columnist. Leave the beach here, walk inland for one block along the Avenida Visconde de Albuquerque; turn left for one block and left again, and you will find yourself at the foot of a road which winds up to the mirador (8) where you get a fine view of the city.
Take a ride
Plenty of buses will take you into town, or a cab will cost around R20 (£5.50). Track down Carioca station (9), where Rio's last tram ride begins. They run every half hour, on the half hour, 7am-8.30pm; fare R0.60 (£0.20). People get on and off all the way along, and the rule is that if you ride on the running board then you don't need to pay. This is a remarkable journey, which lifts you across the old aqueduct then takes you rattling up to Santa Teresa, a once-run-down district that is being regenerated and is beginning to attract musicians and artists.
Lunch on the run
Santa Teresa, now the most Bohemian part of town, has plenty of options. If you take the tram to the point at which the lines diverge, at the stop called Largo dos Guimaraes, you will be right next to Jasmine Mango (10), Rua Pascoal Carlos Magno 143 (00 55 21 2242 2605), where good salads and coffee await.
Cultural afternoon
Every day feels like a festival in Rio, but there is only one real carnival – the samba-fuelled five-day frenzy each February; in 2009, it runs from Friday 20-Tuesday 24. But at any time of year you can go to Samba City (11), at Rua Rivadavia Correa 60 in Gamboa, which was reclaimed from an old railway yard three years ago and is now the home of the largest samba schools; this is where they make the costumes and the floats. You can get to look inside this fun factory, where the main product is flamboyance, any day except Sunday (00 55 21 2213 25030; sambacity.info).
An Aperitif
If it happens to be Saturday, you will need to get along to the Confeitaria Colombo (12) at Rua Goncalves Dias 32 (00 55 21 2505 1500; confeitariacolombo.com.br) before it shuts at 5pm; it opens 8am-8pm from Monday to Friday. This stunning Belle Epoque café was created at the end of the 19th century when Rio was at the height of her own beautiful era – she was the capital of the biggest country in South America. She lost that crown to the new city of Brasilia in 1960, but here at the Colombo they still party like its 1899, and gaze at themselves in lavish mirrors imported from Antwerp.
If you prefer to start drinking later in the evening, head to Travessa do Comércio, a narrow street lined with bars off the Praca 15 do Novembro in the Central district.
Dining with the locals
You could walk through the early evening light for Rio's best plate with a view. Porcao's Rio (13), at Avenida Infante Dom Henrique in Flamengo park (00 55 21 3389 8989; porcao.com.br; open daily noon–1am), has views across the water to Sugarloaf – try to get a table by the window on the south side.
Start by helping yourself to whatever you like from a buffet spread, then eat your body weight in barbecued meat; wash it down with a caipirinha, a mix of cane spirit and lime. Expect to pay around R70 (£20), plus drinks – expensive by Rio standards, but well worthwhile. If you prefer to spend about half as much, the Barril 1800 – a few yards west of the Fasano (4) is a seafront place with an extensive, good value menu. Or try Garota de Ipanema (14), where "The Girl from Ipanema" was written; there is plenty of memorabilia here, and the address – Rua Vinicius de Moraes 49 (00 55 21 2521 3168; garotaipanema.com.br) – celebrates one of the writers.
Sunday morning: Go to church
The church of Candelaria (1) is the spiritual landmark at the heart of Rio and was built on the site of the city's first church. Despite all the traffic outside, it retains a wonderful serenity.
Look at the magnificent cupola, which was transported to Rio from Lisbon. It opens 9am-1pm on Sundays, 7.30am-4pm from Monday to Friday, 8am-noon on Saturdays.
Out to brunch
The Brazilian family feast, feijoada, is a Saturday event – except at the place where the name is the menu: Casa de Feijoada (15) at Rua Prudente de Morais 10 in Ipanema (00 55 21 2247 2776), which serves the dish daily. Expect a vast amount of meats and sausages in a cauldron, served with black beans, rice, kale and orange.
Window shopping
Rio has some large street markets but if you're only in town for a couple of days then they might be a bit tricky to cope with. Instead, come to the Hippie Market (16) any Sunday from 9am to 5pm for crafts and curiosities.
A walk in the park
Take the funicular railway that heads up to Corcovado (00 55 21 2558 1329; corcovado.org.br) – pausing as you go through the base station (17) to read the information on this fascinating piece of infrastructure. Stop halfway, at Paineiras station (18). This is the gateway to Tijuca National Park, and within minutes you can find yourself in rainforest, with such a profusion of vegetation and fauna that you will find it hard to imagine you are on the edge of a city.
The icing on the cake
Continue by train to the summit of Corcovado – the mountain known as "Pinnacle of Temptation" to the first mariners who came to Rio. It offers fabulous views of the city and has one of the new seven wonders of the world: the statue of Christ the Redeemer (19). This 100ft-high statue was paid for by the people of Rio, who wanted someone to watch over them.

Darna may be located in Jerusalem's Russian Compound, but if you allow your senses to wrest control away from your mind, which will probably happen when you enter the restaurant anyway, you would swear you were in Morocco.
Everything about Darna radiates authenticity: the Spanish-inflected Moroccan décor, imported entirely from Morocco and installed by artisans familiar with Moroccan tradition; the stone arches and painstakingly woven rugs; the fixtures on the tables and the lamps that light the interior; and most of all, the enchanting aroma of preserved lemons, saffron and ras el hanout in the air, promising diners strictly glatt kosher Moroccan cuisine prepared the way the North African nation's Jews, Arabs and Berbers have prepared it for centuries.

Spoiled food, rotting meat and garbage
odors can easily be eliminated with OdorXit Concentrate or OdorXit AQM .
cans, turned off refrigerator, under sinks or counters where food has
been allowed to spoil can be odor free. First remove the bulk of the
spoiled food by sweeping and/or washing the area with detergent and
water, and then spray thoroughly with the normal consternation of OdorXit
Concentrate (1 ounce of OdorXit in 1 quart of water).
Spraying the inside of a garbage will reduce but often will not eliminate
the odor unless the can has been rinsed out prior to spraying because the small
chunks of material left in the can do not get soaked with OdorXit. As the
material continues to decompose, additional odor is produced.
Dead, and rotting animal smell, animal nest smell can be eliminated by
removing the bulk of rotting material or nest material and spraying the remains
and surrounding area.
OdorXit also works on dogs that have rolled in the dead animal
in the yard. Shampoo them with normal pet shampoo, rinse with
OdorXit mixed 2 ounces per gallon of water. Wait for 10 minutes
and rinse again with warm water. Fido will smell fresh as a daisy
when dry.
OdorXit will not eliminate the "wet dog smell" many large
and some small and medium dogs develop, however, Magic by OdorXit will.
Diluting Magic 1 ounce of Magic to 10 ounces of water and use it torinse your
dog after a bath will eliminate the "Wet Dog Smell" for at least a week or more.
Follow up treatments involving spraying 5 or 10 squirts of Magic on your hands and rubbing
it on your dogs coat will extend the action another week or so.
Garbage odors in residential garbage cans, dumpster, and other
enclosed areas where garbage odors and bacteria build-up are a problem
can effectively be treated for 20 to30 day at a time with OdorXit
ClO2 Extended
Release packets. A 10 gram packet will eliminate the odor
in a garbage can for 20 to30 days. A 25 or 50 gram packet will eliminate
the odor in a closed garbage dumpster for 20 to 30 days
as well.
Simply stick the adhesive backed pouch that accompanies the product on
the inside of the lid of a garbage can or in a place on the side of
a dumpster where it will not be removed by dumping the contents of
the unit, remove the outer mylar packaging of the product packaging
and place the unopened tyvek packet in the pouch. The water vapor in
the can or dumpster will be enough to activate the process.

Today's guest blog comes from Alex Kinsey, Director of copywriting consultancy Eric and Frank
Does the way you talk to your public sound right?
When you're starting up and running your own business, you want to make sure the world knows what you do and why you're so good at doing it.
Your fantastic new website looks shiny and suitably impressive, but do the words on it sell your services as well as it could? Does the prospective letter you send out to hundreds of potential new clients do the same? Are your Facebook updates and tweets reflective of the personality of your business or brand? In short, does the way you talk to your public sound right?
Writing your own copy
Working with design agencies across the country, one of the most commonly heard complaints we hear about customers is that while they're happy to let designers make their site look good, clients often insist on writing the copy themselves – with varying degrees of success. But as the designers say, what's the point of having a good looking website if the words on it are rambling, ineffective and likely to turn off your reader?
You might know everything there is to know about the industry you work in and the services you provide, but do you know the best way to express that in a way that works for you by getting the client to pick up the phone and call you?
Sometimes it's hard to relinquish control over something you feel so passionate about – and after all, it's just words, you speak and write them every day. But more often than not, your detailed understanding of your industry or services can be too much for a customer – they simply don't need it and it could turn them off. The wording becomes too detailed, the processes overly-explained or the key messages – your top selling points – submerged in paragraph after paragraph of waffle.
Revisit, review
As web users in this digital age, we want to find answers and resolutions to our problems as quickly as possible. We spend less and less time skim-reading pages on websites, getting the key information and then quickly moving on to our next task.
It's why it's so important to revisit and review your website and other communications regularly. Does your website work hard enough for you? It is your main platform for prospective clients to find you and find out if you can solve their problem. Can customers get what they need quickly and easily? Do you need to put your words through a Plain English filter – removing jargon or excessive descriptions? Could someone unrelated to the business do a better job at explaining what you do?
Your business messages and how you get them out is the key to making sales and building new opportunities. Make sure you explain what you do, succinctly and without unnecessary jargon.
Alex Kinsey, Eric and Frank

Music of Wednesday, 16 November 2011
Source: I.F. Joe Awuah Jnr, Daily Guide
ALL ROADS in the Garden City will lead to the plush Miklin Hotel in Kumasi on Friday, December 30, 2011, when highlife King Abrantee Amakye Dede storms the place to perform.
Christened 'Amakye Dede Africa Origin End of Year Dance,' the entertainment show is expected to be one of the biggest and finest shows ever held in Kumasi.
Africa Origin Travels and Sports Tourism, authorized distributors of London 2012 Hospitality, are the organizers of the show.
A similar event which would also see Abrantee Amakye Dede perform at his best will come off at the Brong Ahafo capital of Sunyani on New Year's Day.
The two great shows are being organized to create awareness and promote the 2012 London Olympics Games, where Ghana would be making an appearance.
News of the event has got the city buzzing with excitement in anticipation of the D-day.
What makes the dance historic and very special is the fact that it is the first time a dance of such high magnitude is being organized in the Garden City to promote a sporting event like the 2012 Olympics Games in London.
Abrantee Amakye Dede, who is leaving no stone unturned in his bid to make the show grand, travelled from Accra to Kumasi last Sunday to meet a special media committee formed to steer the affairs of the show.
In his remarks, Amakye Dede said he would turn Kumasi upside down with a fantastic performance which has never been seen in the country.
He urged the organizers to work harder to make the event one of a kind, promising to perform for at least six hours to entertain his numerous fans that would troop to the venue.
Amakye Dede was the toast of Kumasi fans when he stormed the place last year to perform. The highlife guru assured that "this show will be bigger and by far better than that of last year's."
CEO of Africa Origin Travels and Sports Tourism, Samson Deen, assured that a professional work would be done to make the event meet international standards.
According to him, the people of Kumasi and Brong Ahafo deserved the best, hence his decision to organize the two great shows.

Lake Powell Fish Report July 17, 2013Lake Elevation: 3596Water Temperature 79-84 FBy: Wayne Gustaveson of Wayne's Words Fishing techniques and results have not changed much in the summer heat. A morning or evening fishing trip still provides a healthy number of fish caught that would make anglers in other lakes jealous. But this is Lake Powell where fishing success is expected with every trip.Yesterday to check current trends, I sent two young anglers down to the dam and told them to fish for one hour and report back. They eagerly obeyed. Another boat was there when they arrived on the west side of the Glen Canyon Forebay about 100 yards from the barricade. The first boat was catching stripers so my crew joined in. They used anchovy bait fished at 20-30 feet on quarter-ounce lead head jigs. The bait worked best when still frozen as it stayed on the hook when stripers bumped it trying to get it to fall off. After the bait thawed stripers stole more bait and were hooked less often than when bait was solid. When the 60 minutes were up the count was 25 stripers in the cooler. That is a catch rate of 12.5 fish per hour amazing!It was a good hour, but the report included the fact that stripers stopped hitting at 10 AM. Timing plays an important part in successful fishing now. Bait fishing at the dam is good morning and evening. Mid day, fishing along the main canyon walls (Power Plant Intake) is good but boat traffic makes the experience less enjoyable. A better choice mid day would be in the open bays such as Padre Bay Canyons, Last Chance or Buoy 25 coves. Here fish are still active on bait but the seas are usually calm. Find a spot where a ledge slopes into the main channel at a depth of 20-40 feet. Chum the spot and fish bait for 10 minutes. Stripers will come quickly to the bait if not choose another spot and try again.Striper fishing is more of a visual sport from the San Juan to Trachyte canyon. Look for boiling fish each morning and evening but also at random times during the day. More shad of larger size in the mid and northern lake make the difference in fishing results. Stripers are chasing shad on top in the north while the first crop of shad has already been consumed in the southern lake. That may change soon as our sampling indicates the second crop of shad has been recently spawned in the south.Hot spots for surface feeding stripers include the San Juan arm, Escalante Arm, Rincon, and Good Hope Bay to Trachyte. Kastmasters or other small spoons may be the best lures to use as shad size is still small and long casts are needed to reach quick feeding schools as they pop to the top.Smallmouth fishing is steady at 25 foot depths with drop-shot or Carolina rigged baits. Get the bait down in deeper water to reach the larger bass feeding on crayfish near sloping rocky structure.Catfish are plentiful and offer some rally great fishing in the evening near camp. The catfish bait-fishing catch rate will rival the 12 fish per hour found for stripers in some spots in the backs of canyons and bays. Summer is here but fishing is still tops at Lake Powell.
Photo caption - A random group of houseboaters held up their catch of stripers as we drove past. Bait fishing for stripers is still good and very fun in the southern lake while surface action is heating up on the north end of Lake Powell.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The smallest is 4-foot-11 Katie Bell, a diver from Columbus who competed for Ohio State. The heaviest is 340-pound weight-lifter Holley Mangold from the Dayton area, who happens to be the little sister of an NFL offensive lineman. The most recognizable is LeBron James, who hails from Akron but famously took his NBA talent to a warmer climate.
Seventeen competitors who list Ohio hometowns are included in the list of 530 Olympic athletes announced this week by the U.S. Olympic Committee. They'll compete in the London games from July 27 through Aug. 12. There are wrestlers, rowers, boxers and an archer. All but two are in their 20s.
The oldest of the Ohioans is 34-year-old soccer player Heather Mitts from Cincinnati. The defender is going for her third consecutive gold medal with the U.S. women's team. The youngest is 21-year-old Erik Kynard, a collegiate high-jumper from Toledo who will be competing in his first Olympics.
James, whose popularity in the Buckeye State turned to derision when he left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in 2010, is trying to win a second consecutive gold medal with the U.S. men's hoops team. Also from northeastern Ohio, Westlake rower Margot Shumway -- the second-oldest Ohioan at 32 -- is competing in her second Olympics, and 24-year-old middleweight boxer Terrell Gausha, a Clevelander, is a first-timer.
"All the pressure I endured and hard work that I put in has paid off, and God is great," Gausha said after qualifying for the games. "Dreams really do come true."
Twenty-eight-year-old Greco-Roman wrestler Justin (Harry) Lester of Akron is one of 13 active-duty military members on the U.S. Olympic team. Jacob Wukie, 26, from Oak Harbor near Toledo, will compete in archery.
One of the most fascinating stories of the London games is Mangold. She's 5-foot-8, weighs 340 and will compete in the super-heavyweight division for the U.S. weight-lifting team. She qualified for the games by winning the clean-and-jerk competition (319 pounds) and finishing second in the two-hand snatch event with a 242-pound lift.
Mangold, who played prep football with the boys for Alter High School in Kettering, is the younger sister of New York Jets center and former Ohio State star Nick Mangold, who won't get to see his sister compete in person because he has to be at training camp.
Holley Mangold, who calls herself a "girly girl" who just happens to compete in a man's sport, is also known for appearing in an episode of MTV's "True Life" titled "I'm the Big Girl."
"When you get a good lift, the bar is literally weightless off of your body and then you don't feel it until it hits over your head again," she told The Associated Press recently. "You get that lift maybe one in a 100, but if you get that lift, you're chasing that lift for the rest of your life. It's kind of amazing. I love it."
The diminutive Bell, 24, is joining her friend and fellow Columbus native Abby Johnston on the 11-member U.S. diving squad.
"I'm going to go and give it my all," Bell told The Columbus Dispatch after qualifying last month. "I want a medal. I'm going to dive just the way I've been in practice and hope for the best."
The USOC lists at least seven more Olympians who were born in Ohio but claim hometowns in other states.
Women outnumber men on the U.S. Olympic team for the first time (269 to 261). The USOC says 302 medal events will play out in London, with Americans competing in 246 of them in 25 sports. There are 228 returning Olympians, including seven five-timers, with 124 of them previously winning medals.
California is the leader in producing Olympians this time, with 128 athletes coming from that state. New York and Pennsylvania tied for second with 35 each.

Memory Guard Program Review And Description
Alzheimer's is one of the notorious health conditions that are commonly associated with old age. Millions of people are diagnosed with this condition. Although commonly thought of as a disease of the elderly, research shows that people in their 30s and 40s are also at risk of developing the condition. What's worse, few people are diagnosed until the condition has progressed. Even upon diagnosis, patients and their families are led to believe that the condition has no cure. It can only be "slowed down" by treating the symptoms. But what if this is just a lie that's created to ensure that you spend your last dime buying ineffective treatments? What if there was a cure that big pharmaceuticals want to keep hidden?
There is a way to prevent this disease as well as reverse and completely cure it. It's packaged in a new program called the Memory Guard Program.
Memory Guard Program review:
This program is packaged in a downloadable pdf guide. It's based on research conducted in the University of California. The study focused on a specific chemical that the brain produces. In Alzheimer's patients, the brain is unable to produce this chemical. This leads to the development of a harmful enzyme which eats away at the brain's proteins wiping off a patient's memory.
After Sam's wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's he was made to believe that it had no cure. The medications prescribed for his wife didn't help to reverse the condition. Upon doing some research, he found that some of these medications had some severe side effects. He wanted more. This led him to conduct research to find a cure.
After coming across the University's research and findings, Samuel went ahead and contacted medical experts and researchers who might have an idea about the findings. Most turned him down saying that these findings had no scientific basis. One doctor however offered to help. Together, they did research on the different natural ways that can be used to trigger the brain to produce the crucial chemical. After months, they had their breakthrough and their findings were published within the Memory Guard Program.
The guide details the different foods and drinks any Alzheimer's patient needs to take to reverse the condition and recover their memory fully. It also details the sleep patterns the patient needs to follow in order to accelerate recovery. Every step provided doesn't involve buying expensive supplements or medications. In fact, every food or drink recommended in this guide can be easily found at your local grocery.
It's worth noting that this isn't a miracle cure that works overnight. However, it has helped over 23000 former Alzheimer's patients start seeing results within a few weeks. It's designed for anyone diagnosed with Alzheimer's regardless of the severity of the condition. Since it promotes the release of the brain chemical TC-2153 the program can also be used by anyone who wants to protect their memory from Alzheimer's.
Pros of Memory Guard Program:
– The program is immediately available for download once you place your order
– The price tag is considerably cheaper compared to modern Alzheimer's treatment
– The program is based on a scientific study from one of the top Universities
– It uses safe and natural methods to reverse and cure Alzheimer's
– 60 day money back guarantee allows you to try it out and see results before committing to invest
Cons of Memory Guard Program:
– The program threatens a multi-billion dollar industry and Sam might be pressured to withdraw it.
Living with fear that your loved one is slowly losing his or her memory can be terrifying. What's even more terrifying is knowing that you have little ability to change the situation. However, this is what big pharma wants you to believe. Studies show that the drugs Alzheimer's patients take might be harmful. The study from the University of California shows that Alzheimer's can be prevented, reversed and cured. Simple changes in diet and lifestyle is all it takes to conquer this disease for good. These changes are outlined in a simple way in the Memory Guard Program. If you know someone who suffers from this dreaded disease, there's no point in giving up on them. Helping them cure the condition and enjoy a life full of great memories is a must. The Memory Guard Program provides the only way to do this. It's cheaper than any of the prescriptions and you only pay once. It takes a few weeks to get results or your money back. If you want this program, place your order today.

Matthew Bourne's SLEEPING BEAUTY Now Available
Internationally renown ballet director and choreographer Matthew Bourne brings his unique re-imagining of Tchaikovsky's SLEEPING BEAUTY to the stage in an absorbing and anomalous production now available on DVD.
The official description of Matthew Bourne's SLEEPING BEAUTY is as follows: "Sleeping Beauty sees Matthew Bourne and his company, New Adventures, return to the music of Tchaikovsky to complete the trio of the composer's ballet masterworks that started in 1992 with Nutcracker! and continued in 1995 with the international hit Swan Lake. Charles Perrault's timeless fairy tale about a young girl cursed to sleep for one hundred years was turned into a legendary ballet by Tchaikovsky and choreographer Marius Petipa in 1890. Bourne takes this date as his starting point, setting the christening of Aurora, the story's heroine, at the height of the fin-de-siecle period, when fairies, vampires and decadent opulence fed the gothic imagination. Years later, awakening from her century-long slumber, Aurora finds herself in the modern day, a world more mysterious and wonderful than any fairy tale."
Of note, Matthew Bourne's SLEEPING BEAUTY recently premiered at New York City's City Center.
Additionally, check out my 2012 InDepth InterView with Matthew Bourne for more about the new SLEEPING BEAUTY, available here, as well as a recent Flash Special, available here.

Grapes should be planted in an area that gets full exposure to the sun. If plants are placed on southern exposure in a location somewhat sheltered from cooling winds, they may produce ripe fruit even if the overall location is considered marginal.
Grape vines can be planted in the Spring as soon as the soil dries out enough to be worked. Prepare a small hole and set the plants to the same level as they were in the pot you purchased them in. Clip the top off the vine leaving only two buds near the soil line. As you distribute your vines throughout your garden space, be sure to space the plants atleast 8 to 10 feet apart. As you plants begin to grow, weeds will most certainly invade your garden space. Keep the weeds out by pulling them up by the base of the weed or, if you must use a hoe, don't dig deep into the soil with the hoe to avoid damaging the tender roots.
Heavy clay type soils need to be improved with organic matter to provide good drainage before planting. A good mulch should be used to provide even soil moisture.
As grapes grow, they will need to be supported - provide your plants with a trellis or support of some kind. (More information in the plant development and culture section)
Cut entire clusters of grapes from vine rather than pulling them.
