'So' was very much an album of the MTV generation and the distinctive videos for tracks like 'Sledgehammer', 'Red Rain', 'Big Time' and 'Don't Give Up' were key factors in the album's success. Featuring contributions from many of those involved in the making of the album and the videos, including Peter Gabriel himself, co-producer Daniel Lanois, the sound engineer, backing musicians and many more.

Classic Albums: Never Mind the Bollocks
Year: 1977
Runtime: 48 minNever Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols (or simply Never Mind The Bollocks) is the only studio album by the highly influential and controversial English punk rock band The Sex Pistols. Fans and critics alike generally regard it as an extremely important album in the history of rock music, citing the lasting influence it has had on subsequent punk rock musicians, as well as other musical genres that were influenced by such punk rock artists. In 2003, Rolling Stone rated it forty-first on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The album was released on 27 October 1977 through Virgin Records amid controversy arising from the use of the coarse slang word (in British English) "bollocks" in its title.
Older versions of most of the album's songs also appeared on a bootleg album called Spunk, which consists of demo recordings the band had made during 1976 and January 1977, and which was released shortly before Never Mind The Bollocks.

Runtime: 50 minIron Maiden's 1982 breakthrough, The Number of the Beast its first with leather lunged vocalist Bruce Dickinson remains a heavy metal watershed, and this Classic Albums program reunites the major players (including producer Martin Birch) for the undoubted pleasure of longtime Maiden fans. The interviews with band members and rock journalists in the 50 minute program touch on Maiden's early career, then delve into the creation of songs that have become hard-rock classics: the title song came about from a nightmare that bassist-songwriter Steve Harris couldn't shake, "The Prisoner" was inspired by the Patrick McGoohan television series, and the hit "Run to the Hills" made the sort of political statement (about white men's savage treatment of native peoples) that then-Capitol Records exec Don Zimmermann notes most American fans couldn't have cared less about while head-banging.

Year: 1969
Runtime: 55 minThe second album by Black Sabbath, released in 1970, has long attained classic status. Paranoid not only changed the face of rock music, but also defined the sound and style of heavy metal more than any other record in rock history. The result of a magic chemistry which had been discovered between four English musicians, it put Black Sabbath firmly on the road to world domination.
This programme tells the story behind the writing, recording and success of the album. Despite vilification from the Christian and moral right and all the harsh criticism that the music press could hurl at them, Paranoid catapulted Sabbath into the rock stratosphere.
Using exclusive interviews, musical demonstration, archive footage and a return to the multi-tracks with engineer Tom Allom, the film reveals how Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward created their frighteningly dark, heavy and ear-shatteringly loud sound.
Additional comments from Phil Alexander (MOJO & Kerrang! editor), Geoff Barton (Classic Rock editor), Henry Rollins (writer/musician) and Jim Simpson (original manager) add insight to the creation of this all-time classic.

Year: 1976
Runtime: 50 minA vivid portrait of a '70s record that is still as fresh and memorable today as when it was released more than two decades ago. Pioneering pop/jazz band Steely Dan, formed by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker in the early seventies, had already secured five Top 40 albums before the release of Aja in 1977. Aja, however, was to prove to be the biggest selling album of Steely Dan's illustrious career, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard chart and spending a year in the Top 40. Becker and Fagen, renowned for their relentless perfectionism in the recording studio, recall the history of an album that was a year in the making, but rewarded with a Grammy Award and three hit singles. Steely Dan's Aja has proven to be one of the most outstanding jazz-rock albums in the history of popular music and now its story is told in this fascinating documentary.

Year: 1997
Runtime: 1 hrIn the late '60s, the notion that reggae would become more than just a novelty act would have been laughed at. To break into the mainstream, the movement needed a powerful voice of prophetic proportions. This voice emerged from the collective work of three pioneering friends from Jamaica, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Robert Nesta Marley, who sought to bring about an ideological revolution through deeply meditative, hypnotic, and spiritual music. Catch a Fire was the Wailers' and reggae's introduction to the world and turned Bob Marley into a mega-icon of enormous proportions. It was the first album to remain true to the traditions of reggae music while having enough elements that were accessible to popular culture.

Runtime: 1 hr 16 minIn the early 1980's, growing in a similar yet geographically separate way to the "grunge" movement in Seattle, was a new and lesser known genre of music known as "desert rock." It was a catch-all style that ultimately evolved from jam-band generator parties that took place in remote desert locations outside of Palm Springs, CA. "Desert Age" traces the complete historical lineage of the people, places and bands that shaped that scene and genre to this day. The film is comprised of exclusive interviews, private photos and home videos that offer in-depth access to a scene that has remained insulated and undocumented until now.

You clicked because well,
you have a good imagination.
It was my first time waxing,
but I was fortunate enough to get it for free.
Yes, who doesn't like free beneficial stuff?
The place: Furless in JayaOne
It's behind/ next to Duck King depending on where you're coming from.
I was so overwhelmed by my experience that I forgot to take picture.
Such a good blogger right.
Thus the result.
All photos from their FB page. (Click!!)
The shop assistants and the boss were really friendly.
I got there early,
so the boss chatted with us.
She explained that their products are what we would call
the good stuff,
which means less pain, more satisfaction.
Notice, it's LESS pain, not painless.
It would be an obvious lie if someone said waxing was utterly painless.
Imagine pulling off chunks of your hair,
but at Furless, it's less pain.
I was pretty nervous,
because well, it was my first time pulling hair off with wax,
and it's well, down where the sun don't usually shine.
Because just like hair on your head,
hair everywhere else don't come in 1 type or form.
Some are longer, some shorter, some coarser, some fine, etc
They use 3 different types of wax,
and the heat is adjustable.
The whole process was interactive,
because I'm guessing they won't want the people waiting outside
to be terrified over the screams caused by wax that's too hot,
or the pulling off that's too brutal.
I'm quite good at guessing you see.
Don't be shy to tell the person if the wax is too hot.
You don't want burnt parts, especially, well, you-know-where.
But the best part of this waxing treatment is that after the hot waxing,
there's a cooling mask which will take the pain away.
I shall not comment on how much pain it was,
because how much pain one can take is highly subjective.
And it depends on where you wax too.
For example I have 7 ear piercings,
but I can't stand plucking eyebrows. =/
Well I could say that the pain of waxing is different from the 2 mentioned above.
I managed to go to a tea party right after the waxing though,
so you have a rough idea.
so you have a rough idea.
If you want to try waxing on any part of your body,
go to Furless,
If you're first timer there and you say my name:
You'll get 50% off!! =D
Say my name say my name~
If you just want to try it,
check out the prices here.
Do call and ask(click for contact) them if you have ANY related questions or to make appointments.
Make sure you make appointments and don't be late~!!
That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

This past month, I finally got around to reading Wake Up Little Susie by Rickie Solinger, a book that has been highly recommended in the adoption community. The book's focus, though, isn't adoption, but rather… More
It's Here!
There's something very satisfying about opening a box fill with copies of your own book. It's the culmination of many months of thinking and writing and worrying and revising. Now, here it is, a physical product ready to be sent out into the world.
It's especially satisfying–and doubly scary–to also be the publisher of said book. Though if I can help it, I won't choose to be on both sides of the process again. I'll share more on that in a future post.
For now, I'm going to enjoy the achievement of having created something tangible out of sheer will.
An Adoptee Lexicon is now available for preorder. Get all the details here.
What's It About?
Thanks for asking.
Lyrical and informative, An Adoptee Lexicon is a glossary of adoption terminology from the viewpoint of an adult adoptee.
Contemplating religion, politics, science, and human rights, Karen Pickell, who was born and adopted in the late 1960s, intersperses personal commentary and snippets from her own experience with history and statistics pertaining to child development and the adoption industry. The collection of micro essays is presented as an organically ordered glossary, along with a robust list of sources and suggested reading as well as an alphabetical index, creating layers of association between words commonly used when discussing adoption.
Pickell draws connections between contemporary American political issues and the social climate that led to a tsunami of adoptions in the decades following World War II through the early 1970s—a period known as the Baby Scoop Era—and also touches on the complexity of transracial and international adoptions.
Throughout An Adoptee Lexicon, the focus remains firmly on adopted people—their perceptions, their needs, and their right to fully exist in exactly the way non-adopted people do.
Cover Reveal
I'm thrilled to share the cover of my first book, which is set to be released later this summer. Looking forward to revealing more details about An Adoptee Lexicon very soon.
New Year, New Venture
It's February. How did that happen? For weeks, I've been meaning to share some thoughts here about the new year, writing goals, personal goals, etc., but I haven't been able to find time. I've been busy making plans and preparations for a new venture I'd like to share today.
I am launching my own independent, for-profit, micro-press called Raised Voice Press that will exclusively publish creative nonfiction books by authors who have found it difficult to be heard.
Yes, I've been very busy. Starting a business is a big deal. It's taken a lot of contemplation and soul-searching and planning for me to get to this moment. I assessed my skills and my interests, my weaknesses and my aversions. I wrote an honest-to-god business plan, complete with a three-year cash flow estimate, to prove to myself that this idea I have is viable. Writer friends, I know you can imagine how grueling that was. I figured, if I still want to do it after going through that, I must be ready. Continue reading "New Year, New Venture"
So She Wouldn't Forget
At no one's urging, my daughter sat at our piano and sounded out the simple tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," practicing it over and over until she could play it quick and smooth. I joined her to add a couple of complimentary chords, so that she would understand the potential of a song.
She wanted more. I dug out my son's first lesson book. He'd taken piano and voice at a private music school, then picked up cello and guitar in his public middle schools, but no matter how hard I've tried, I've yet to convince my daughter to take lessons to learn to play an instrument. She doesn't want to set a timer for thirty minutes of daily practice or be required to perform in a recital. She flipped through the first few pages of my son's old book and began asking questions. Where do my fingers go? What are the keys called? Continue reading "So She Wouldn't Forget"

It is a Mass in the grand style - Muti led four soloists, a double choir of 60 voices with choir soloists, two brass choirs and an expanded Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini. The sound in the Felsenreitschule was remarkable and placement gave the impression of the Mass being sung in a great cathedral.
Pride of performance has to go to La Stagione Armonica under Sergio Balestracci. This remarkable group of singers soared to the heavens one minute and sang in hushed wonder the next. The dynamics of their performance were exceptional as was the work of the soloists from within their ranks. The four major soloists - Beatriz Diaz, Anna Malavasi, Juan Francisco Gatell and Nahuel Di Pierro - made exciting work of the great Dies Irae sequentia. The center piece of the work, it is a remarkable piece of music. Less dramatic than many other settings it has a lyrical almost sorrowful approach to the Day of Wrath - it lacks the power of the great settings but still has considerable emotional depth.
Again this year from our vantage point we could observe Muti at close quarters. It sounds hackneyed but he seems to have an almost sorcerer's control over his performers. Not a movement is wasted - no dancing, bobbing and weaving - and with his left hand he seems almost to pluck the sounds of out the air. And his forces responded to every nuance and details he wanted from this work. As I said this is not one of the great settings of the Mass for the Dead but it is one that when it is directed with such authority and affection demands to be heard.
I have mentioned in all the previous reviews the audience response and this time I was able to capture some of it on video however have not been able to transfer it. So lets just say that the applause was prolonged and heartfelt.
Again, a brilliant conclusion to a festival that this year only seemed to get better with each passing day.

GRANT ROBERTSON — Banking reporter
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail
Published Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2010 7:10PM EDT
The jump in demand comes from a variety of players that weren't much of a force a decade ago when surplus vaults fell out of favour. They include the gold-backed funds that have become popular investment properties, as well as ultra-high-net-worth investors who want to hold large stores of bullion amid record-setting prices. Concerns about currency values and a sputtering global economic recovery helped push gold above $1,300 (U.S.) an ounce for the first time two weeks ago.
"Gold 10 years ago was $280 an ounce," Mr. Wainstein noted. "So nobody wanted to worry too much about getting a lot of bullion into their vault. It just didn't seem like a thriving business. That has changed."
Dear Readers,
Clearly the demand for Gold Bullion and secure vault storage is in demand. Please take this as a reminder that we have private secure and insured vault storage services with Brinks Canada Ltd., and we are practically the only vault storage service that allows its customers to physically see and feel their Gold BEFORE it goes into the vault for storage. Having a local Canadian company storing your Gold has its advantages because we can very quickly set-up delivery or pick-up of your Gold. Usually 2-3 days notice is all we need and our fees are only 2% for storage and $45 for pick-up or delivery. Please call for more details. BK

Adding to his growing line of green tea products, Dr. Stephen Hsu, GHSU Professor of Oral Biology in the College of Dental Medicine, credits his shampoo's hair-thickening properties to antioxidants and plant compounds, including green tea, that improve the viability of hair follicle cells.
"Our products are designed to make the cells that produce hair healthier," Hsu said. "We cannot make people grow hair. We cannot make hair grow back, but we try to make the cells in better condition with powerful antioxidants and plant extracts."
The shampoo is the second in his ReviTealize line of skin- and scalp-improvement products based on a patented formula. Hair follicle cells can become damaged from several factors, such as oxidative stress, chemotherapy, medication, diet and changes in hormone levels. Male baldness, for instance, results from changes in testosterone levels.
The prototypes of the patented formula have been self-tested by more than 50 people, and Hsu is pleased with the outcomes.
"When people try it, they usually see results in three to five days after they start using it every day. They feel the hair get stronger and notice fewer detached hairs when they comb or shower," Hsu said. "We have achieved the purpose to provide a very good formula that contains natural plant compounds without any of the toxic chemicals."
People can use the shampoo daily and should keep it on their scalp for at least two minutes, he said.
For more information, contact Hsu at 706-721-2317 or email@example.com.

Daily News Round #2 for May 11, 2004
Daily News Round #2 news post from TweakTown's online news computing and technology content pages for May 11, 2004
- Transcend's 40GB USB2.0 Portable Storage Device
A press release made it's way to my inbox this morning from Transcend announcing their latest device to hit the scene, the heading speaks for itself. Said to be roughly the size of a standard business card, and offering USB 2.0 480mbps data transfer rates, 40GB's a pretty decent effort me thinks. Full details over at Transcend's press room.
Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend) releases its 40GB USB2.0 portable storage drive this month, April 2004. Although roughly the size of a standard business card, it has more than enough capacity for your data storage needs. Transcend¡¦s 40GB USB2.0 portable storage device replaces carrying over 56 CDs, 26,000 floppy disks, or 300 flash drives (128MB) in the palm of your hand. No need to carry another troublesome power brick either; it is powered directly from the USB port. Data and power are directly transferred via a single USB cable. This pocket drive is perfect for the person always on the go.
- OCZ DDR600 Press Release
As I was sorting through my inbox this morning, I've stumbled across another PR (and there's more to come btw), this one from OCZ announcing their ground-breaking move to DDR600 (PC-4800). Their new DDR600 dual channel kit is typically rated for loosened timings of CL3-4-4-8 at a slightly increased voltage of 2.8v (when running at it's rated speed). This may not seem like anything special given that info alone, but for OCZ to be comfortable in saying these DDR sticks happily strut their stuff at a whopping 300mhz (fsb) stock is a real achievement in my books. The full PR can be read over at their website.
"OCZ is pleased to be making such big advancements in the memory market," said Dr. Michael Schuette, Director of Technology Development with OCZ Technology Group. "OCZ has spent a considerable amount of time developing memory able to consistently run at 600MHz DDR, and are very pleased with the end results, as we have produced the highest speed DDR memory available today."

Who doesn't love a classic white wedding? For Megan and Nick their wedding day was all about traditional elegance starting with Megan's stunning ball gown with illusion lace neckline. Ceremony was held at the stunning Our Lady of Mount Carmel and bridesmaids wore timeless navy dresses and carried elegant white bouquets. The reception was held oceanside, in the La Pacific Ballroom of the Four Seasons Resort. A surfboard seating card display added a touch of whimsy to the day. Inside, the elegant ballroom was decorated with tall and lush centerpieces featuring hydranga, phalenopsis, and white roses. Over the dance floor, a chandelier was decorated with wild greenery. All was expertly produced by wedding coordinator, Wedding Kate.

Wordology, Golacher
The term French kiss is commonly attributed to American soldiers returning from World War I, who apparently picked up the technique from the adventurous French maidens.
France has never had a word for "to French kiss" until now. The verb "galocher" meaning to kiss with tongues had just been added to the Petit Robert 2014 French dictionary. It is pronounced ga luh shay
It comes from 'La galoche' an ice-skating boot, so the new term plays on the idea of sliding around the ice. Also, "galosh" or "overshoe" was used for hundreds of years before that, giving galocher a sort of onomatopoeic connection between the sound that galoshes make on a wet street and that tongues make during a French kiss.

"It's just a ridiculous Hallmark holiday."
That statement fills up my Facebook newsfeed pretty regularly toward the end of January and into the first half of February. It's also heard from the mouths of co-workers, friends, and random passers-by. Valentine's Day seems to bring out in people a certain loathing disdain. Some claim it isn't a "real" holiday. Some smugly say that we shouldn't have one day to show our significant others that we love them, but that it should happen every day. Some believe it's a holiday that ostracizes single people everywhere. Me? I like chocolate. It is delicious.
The origins of Valentine's Day are a little cloudy, but the timeline is still pretty clear. What was once an ancient Roman holiday known as Lupercalia (February 15) was turned into a Christian day of feast (February 14) around 496. In the 14th century, the big V day was officially associated with love by none other than the famous author Chaucer. Celebration of the day continued into the 18th century. It was celebrated by people giving gifts and handmade cards that featured hearts and cupids. Hallmark was founded in 1910. I'm not a mathematician, but those numbers don't add up. To all the "Hallmark holiday" people: please shut up. I mean that as politely as I can when talking to broken records who repeat inaccurate clichés over and over.
Has Valentine's Day become commercialized? Sure. And of course no other holidays do that. "Man, I'm stuffed from that delicious feast at which I told everyone how thankful I was. I should probably nap before I wake up at the butt crack of dawn to shove and yell at people. Grandma needs that 75% off big screen next month. 'Tis the season."
So, why do we celebrate it at all? That's where the history gets muddled. Kind of like me trying to remember why I decided it was a good idea to eat an entire large pizza after drinking for eight hours. The most common lore behind Valentine's Day revolves around a certain priest, St. Valentine, who married couples in secret after marriage had been outlawed by the Roman emperor Claudius II. Claudius worried that men with wives at home would be less effective soldiers, or that they wouldn't want to go to war at all. When St. Valentine was discovered, he was executed for his acts. There is stipulation that he either fell in love with or had befriended the jailor's daughter while awaiting execution. Before he was martyred, he supposedly sent her a letter signed, "From your Valentine."
Regardless of how accurate the story is, it became a holiday that we've celebrated for centuries. If questionable historical significance is a problem, a large part of society might argue that a holiday celebrating a miraculous birth by a virgin leaves room for more explanation. I will admit that I'm unclear on the Valentine's Day significance behind flying, naked babies wielding archery equipment. But I chalk that up to the same people who connected resurrections with egg-laying bunnies, and the births of saviors with rotund old guys using slave labor to build gifts for children. I'm a free spirit. I just roll with it.
Another argument against Valentine's Day is that we shouldn't have to have a certain day to tell us to show our love and affection to our significant others. I agree with that wholeheartedly. Love and appreciation should be shown every day. But what's wrong with having one day to make it a really big event? I think of it as the Superbowl of love. I'd like to point out here that I just used a sports analogy. Be proud, Dad. It's not all books, movies, and video games for this guy. Anyway, if we're lambasting holidays because the meaning behind them should be celebrated and honored every day, we should probably get upset with Mother's Day, Father's Day, Veteran's Day, and Memorial Day. That would be upsetting. I'm kind of partial to Father's Day. I would bet anyone who uttered out loud, "Mother's Day is bullshit," would be met with a few horrified looks. I have many friends who both serve and have served in the military. Although we should appreciate them every day, I like that they have their own holiday. My grandfather was a pilot in WWII. He's now passed, but I love the idea of honoring our deceased ex-military collectively on one day.
Finally. Aww, the bitter single people. The day that forces us to avoid social media in an effort to not see sickeningly sweet posts about how happy everyone else is. The pictures of cards and candies. The plethora of engagements. Long soliloquies about how "my significant other is better than yours." I get it. I'm one of you. I haven't had a meaningful relationship in years. There's the distinct possibility that my daughter is going to be the one to find my body one day. It will have been partially eaten by our two cats. I mean, if they panic when they see the bottom of their food bowl, I can only imagine what they'll do when the food is gone and I'm not responding to their monotonous meows. I only hope they start with my love handles. I can't seem to completely get rid of those bastards for anything.
The fact is, we need a day dedicated to love. Especially in these times. Why not do so by honoring a man who gave his life in the pursuit that endeavor? Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about being in a romantic relationship with someone. Nor does it have to be about commercialism. Here's a tip, fellas. Listen to what your significant other has to say throughout the year. A gift that touches on something your partner mentioned she (or he) loves or appreciates doesn't have to be expensive. It only has to be meaningful. Are you widowed? Spend the day going through old pictures that make you smile. Are you single? Adopt a shelter pet. Bring a homeless person food. Crash a singles party, have a few drinks, and hope for the best.
How will I celebrate? After I get off work tomorrow, I'll be picking my daughter Madison up from school. She'll probably have a Valentine card for me. I still have every one she's ever made. I'll have one for her too. We'll exchange cards and talk about her day at school. Then we'll go home and get ready for date night. My Valentine's Day won't consist of dozens of flowers or an expensive dinner at a five star restaurant. It won't end with rose petals and lingerie. I'll be exchanging poorly written homemade cards with my Valentine. I'll sit at Olive Garden across from the most beautiful girl in the room. We'll talk and laugh about whatever comes to mind. It will end with me tucking her in, telling her I love her, and listening to her giggle while I make kissing noises into her ear. My heart will be full. That's a great day in my book. That's a solid holiday. Happy Valentine's, baby girl.

Explore Bay of Plenty
With over 250km of coast and some of the country's best sandy beaches, sunny Bay of Plenty is also New Zealand's kiwifruit capital and has the largest port in the country.
A long basin stretching along Northern Pacific coast of the North Island, bordering the Waikato, Hawke's Bay, and Gisborne, the Bay of Plenty is a fast-growing region, primarily due to its location by the sea. The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand's largest commercial port, through which large consignments of timber are exported daily. Fertile soils means agriculture, mainly fresh produce, is strong.
The name "Bay of Plenty" originated with the English explorer James Cook during his 1769–70 exploration of the country. Cook noted the region's abundant resources and Europeans began settling around as early as the 1830s. Tauranga, the largest city, has a population of around 115,000, while Rotorua (inland) and Whakatāne (coast), are respectively home to 65,000 and 33,000 souls. Tauranga, its sister city Mount Manganui, and Whakatāne encompass the ideal sea-side living. Rotorua city borders the southern shores of the lake of the same name. A strong Maōri heritage and the region's important geothermal activity contribute to making Rotorua a major tourist destination in the country.
Bay of Plenty has a temperate, almost mediterranean climate, with temperatures hovering around 10-12C in winter and reaching above 28C in summer. One of the country's sunniest places, the region is favoured by locals, a lot of them retirees, for its relaxed lifestyle opportunities.
The majority of migrants to this region is from the UK and Ireland.
The Port of Tauranga is obviously the region's main hub of activity. Kiwifruit are the main horticultural export, with avocados growing more and more important over the last few years. Forestry is a major employer, and the region is home to the world's largest hand planted forest. Engineering and construction, predominantly in the boating industry, are also large players. Last but not least, the region's sunny climate make it a popular destination and tourism spot, with ocean-based activities being very popular with locals and overseas visitors alike (whale-watching, water sports, diving, etc.).
In and around Rotorua, tourism is by far the most important source of revenue, boosted by both Māori traditions and geothermal activity.

Similar to the heavy lifter Mi-10, the Mi-12 also uses the engine, transmission and rotor system from the Mi-6. There were two prototypes built, the first of which flew in 1967. It took until 1973 before the second one joined the test program.
However, the Mi-12 never entered into production due to its very high unit costs and because better alternatives were emerging in the early 1970s. In particular, the Mi-26, which was based on a conventional helicopter layout with a much improved transmission and engine technology, would turn out to be a 'leaner' and more effective solution to the heavy lifting challenge. All this rendered the Mi-12 obsolete before it could even enter into service.

If the claims from HydroInfra Technologies are to be believed, their HNG, or HydroNano Gas, process can instantly neutralize carbon pollution emissions, which could be a huge step forward for cleaning up our energy-related emissions from oil or gas-fired power plants.
The company has pioneered an energy-efficient and low-cost method of extracting hydrogen from water through the use of a low energy pulse, which yields what they call HNG. The substance is said to have an abundance of "exotic hydrogen" in a specific ratio with oxygen, which lends it unique properties that are taken advantage of in the company's scrubber technology.
"HNG acts like a vortex on fossil fuel emissions causing the flame to be pulled into the center thus concentrating the heat and combustion properties.HNG is stored in canisters, arrayed around the emission outlet channels. HNG is injected into the outlets to safely & effectively clean up the burning of fossil fuels.
The pollution emissions are neutralized instantly & safely with no residual toxic cocktail or chemicals to manage after the HNG burning process is initiated." - HydroInfra
The HydroInfra scrubbers work by using a series of three processes on the gases, starting with the burner and the smokestack and then finishing with a "wet" treatment to remove any final pollutants from the emissions.
Among the pollutant emissions removed with the HNG process are carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), soot, particulates, mercury, and other heavy metals. The company is currently working on a joint venture to convert some ocean-going ships to use the process, and is looking to bring their technology to oil and coal-fired power plants.

Let Sequestration Happen
President Barack Obama clearly doesn't like how the threat of sequestration, an idea he owns but now dishonestly wants to disown, is working out.
In a Tuesday speech, Obama went into campaign mode overdrive, claiming that -- as summarized in a brilliant Tuesday evening Wall Street Journal editorial with the even better title "President Armageddon" -- "if Republicans don't raise taxes in return for more spending, the world will end."
Despite a fiscal cliff deal which included $15 billion in spending "cuts" (actually "reductions in projected spending") and over $600 billion in tax increases, the president is still demanding more from "the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations." Despite the fact that his administration's has spent 26 percent more during its first four years than the George W. Bush administration spent during its final four, Obama and Democratic leaders continue to insist that the federal government doesn't have a spending problem. Despite running up $5.9 trillion in additional debt, much of it driven by congressional and executive actions during Obama's first two years which have unfortunately never been reversed, Obama contemptuously refers to the "so-called debt ceiling."
As to the inane argument that a roughly 1.2 percent reduction in projected spending ($44 billion, not $85 billion, compared to annual spending of about $3.6 trillion) will all by itself, in Obama's words, "hurt our economy ... add hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls ... (and) the unemployment rate might tick up again," all of this is already happening. House Speaker John Boehner's current and hopefully future firm position on sequestration has nothing to do with it.
The economy is already in a "hurt" condition. January's initial reading on the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) during last year's fourth quarter was that it contracted by an annualized 0.1 percent. Though it appears that this number may go positive in subsequent revisions, the fact remains that the economy is closer to going back into recession than it has been at any other time since the last one officially ended three and one-half years ago.
Last week, Bloomberg News exposed internal emails revealing how Walmart executives are nearly panic-stricken about early sales during its February reporting period, describing the results thus far as "a total disaster." I have separately confirmed that top management's serious concerns have been shared with frontline store managers.
The internal company correspondence largely blamed the slump on the end of the two percentage point Social Security payroll tax cut which had been in place for two years. Obama agreed to allow this effective tax increase on 77 percent of Americans to happen during December's fiscal cliff negotiations, representing a complete about-face from his and his administration's warnings about the horrors which would ensue if reinstatement were to occur just ten months earlier.
Worriers at Walmart and other retailers ("Where are all the customers? And where's their money?") have another serious concern: gas prices, which as of when this column was submitted had risen for 32 straight days. According to USA Today, "Experts say prices should continue rising at least 5 cents a week until early April." If so, they will break through the psychologically impactful $4 per gallon barrier. Additionally, note that the true national average gas price is probably six cents or so higher than the figure on which the establishment press usually relies. The average disposable income reduction caused by the payroll tax hike and the projected gas price increase on a family earning $50,000 per year is at least $150 per month.

Patriot Launched Supersonic Magnum 2 and Rage 2 USB 3.0 Flash Drives
Bohs Hansen / 5 years ago
Patriot's Supersonic series of flash drives were already some of the fastest on the block, but the whole thing gets a new boost in form of the Supersonic Magnum 2 and Rage 2 USB 3.0 flash drives.
"Patriot has revamped its Supersonic USB line with two great new additions, both with exceedingly fast speeds," said Meng Jay Choo, Product Manager at Patriot. "There are no comparable USB drives on the market, at the moment, and we hope to continue to deliver impressive performance speeds to our customers as technology advances."
The Patriot Supersonic Magnum 2 will be available in 256GB and 512GB capacities and feature impressive read and write speeds of 400MB/s and 300MB/s making them the fastest high capacity/high performance USB flash drive on the market.

Both new drives will become available during February 2015, but no word on pricing yet.

AGP to Expand at the Port of Grays Harbor, Washington
October 2010 - After a record year of soybean meal exports, the Port of Grays Harbor's largest shipper, Ag Processing Inc (AGP) has announced plans to expand their agriculture product export facility at Washington State's only deep-water port on the Pacific Coast. Expansion will include construction of on-site storage silos and infrastructure to increase unloading capacity at the AGP Terminal 2 facility at the Port of Grays Harbor in Aberdeen, Washington.
Over the past year, AGP conducted market analysis and considered preliminary designs for the 13.5 acre expansion. The expanded facility will provide a gateway destination for soybean meal, grains, distillers grains, gluten meal, and beet pulp pellets. Detailed engineering has begun and construction is expected to begin this fall with operations slated for early 2012.
"This investment will allow AGP to provide grain, feed ingredients, and oilseeds along with our current range of processed products to our customers in Pacific Rim countries," said Marty Reagan, AGP CEO. "It will also provide our customers with a secure supply of grain and oilseeds directly from AGPs farm-to-port cooperative supply chain that they value."
"AGP has been a vital partner in the growth of shipping activity in Grays Harbor and we are thrilled they are increasing their presence on Washington's Coast," reported Port Commission President Jack Thompson. "This project will more than double our vessel calls, creating jobs for our longshore workers, rail operators, tug assists and pilots. It is great news for our community."
"AGP initially invested in Grays Harbor nearly 7 years ago, and since then AGP has successfully built a strong Pacific Rim customer base due to our employee team, our transportation partners, and the Port of Grays Harbor," reported Cal Meyer, AGP's Group Vice President of Processing, Refining, and Industrial Products. "It is an integral part of our international marketing plan and it has the capability of reaching markets throughout the Pacific Rim in an efficient and cost effective manner."
AGP (www.agp.com), the largest farmer-owned soybean processor in the world, is owned by cooperatives in the Midwest representing over 200,000 farmers from 16states throughout the United States.
Port officials estimate shipping volumes will more than double due to the expansion, reaching new Pacific Rim markets with commodities shipped through Grays Harbor. Commodities will arrive via unit trains transported by Burlington Northern Santa Fe and RailAmerica's Puget Sound and Pacific Railroad (PSAP) direct to the Port of Grays Harbor marine terminal complex. The Port is working with PSAP, federal, state and local agencies to expand rail capacity in the region.
"AGPs commitment to their grower/members and customers combined with Grays Harbor's strategic location and infrastructure has created a first class export facility in North America," expressed Gary Nelson, Port of Grays Harbor Executive Director. "Expanding our presence in international shipping is critical to the long-term success of our Port and we are honored to have such a prestigious and dedicated partner as AGP invest in our facilities."
Commenting on the new construction in the City of Aberdeen, Mayor Bill Simpson expressed, "This is a great project for the Harbor to improve employment, both during the construction phase and long-term operating phase resulting in hundreds of transportation related jobs for our citizens. AGP is a great organization and they have made a very careful and calculated decision to expand in Grays Harbor. The City of Aberdeen loves having them as a neighbor and we welcome their expansion."
The Port of Grays Harbor operates 4 deepwater marine terminals and hundreds of acres of marine industrial property. Only 1- 1/2 vessel hours from open sea, Grays Harbor offers rail and highway access to markets throughout North America. More information and photographs of the AGP shipping facility are available at portofgraysharbor.com. More information on AGP and its diverse commodities can be found at agp.com.
"AGPs expansion will more than double our vessel calls, creating jobs for our longshore workers, rail operators, tug assists and pilots. It is great news for our community."

The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Atlanta Hawks 103-88 in the Utah Summer League at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Monday.
A 27-20 first quarter in advantage of the Grizzlies really set a tone in this Summer League opener, as Memphis held off Atlanta for a wire-to-wire victory. The http://www.officialmavericksproshop.com/authentic-5-jose-juan-barea-jersey.html shooting disparity was the difference, with the Grizzlies connecting on 53 percent from the field and 52 percent from three-point range. They did that while holding Atlanta to just 38 percent from the field and 23 percent from three.
The Lakers had the room Jose Juan Barea Jersey to sign Durant, like everyone else. But they signed Mozgov and Deng. The Hornets had the room to sign Durant. But they re-signed Nicolas Batum. The Wizards had the room to sign Durant. But they signed Ian Mahinmi and Andrew Nicholson. The Magic had the room to sign Durant. But they signed Bismack Biyombo and D.J. Augustin. (The http://www.seahawkshopfootballofficial.com/WOMENS-NAZAIR-JONES-JERSEY.html Magic traded Biyombo to the Hornets yesterday as part of a three-team deal that moved Mozgov to Orlando.)
The Celtics, too, had the room to sign Durant. They signed Al Horford.
This past season was the first with two-way players that can go between the NBA roster and the G League. Some two-way players are still under contract for next season. Those that aren't can be restricted free agents if they were on the NBA team's active or inactive list for 15 or more days of the NBA regular season and if Nazair Jones Authentic Jersey their team issued a qualifying offer.
Parity was at its best in the NBA in the 1970s — which is also when its popularity was lowest.
Once again: there was only one period in the history of the league that was, relatively, democratic, in the sense that there was no obvious dynasty dominating the game. From 1970-80, eight teams split up the titles: the Milwaukee Bucks (1971), the Lakers ('72 and '80), the New York Knicks ('70 and '73), the Celtics ('74 and '76), the Warriors ('75), the Portland Trail Blazers ('77), the Washington Bullets ('78) and the Seattle SuperSonics ('79).

Google honors Hollywood costumer Edith Head
October 28th, 2013
Google illustration
And we thought geeks were unfashionable ... it's nice to see Google make a nod to the fashion community with its logo tribute to the late eight-time Oscar-winning Hollywood costume designer Edith Head, whose birthday is today.
The designer, born in 1897, had no art, design or costume design experience when she was hired as a costume sketch artist at Paramount Pictures in 1924, but created her first costumes for "The Wanderer" in 1925 and by the 1930s established herself as one of Hollywood's leading costume designers, dressing stars such as Mae West, Dorothy Lamour, Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren and George's mother Rosemary Clooney.
She was working on 1940s-style costumes for the Steve Martin and Carl Reiner comedy "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," starring Steve Martin and Carl Reiner when she died on Oct. 24, 1981, and the film was dedicated to her memory.

When you buy ebook resale rights, they give you the right to sell ebooks to your customers, but do not give your buyers the right to resell the ebooks themselves. It is pretty simple: you pay a one-time fee to your seller, then you resell the ebook as many times as you can, and you get to keep any money you make.
But why would your customers buy their ebooks from you, rather than someone else? You have to market them effectively, of course. You need to win your customer's confidence, which you do by creating a sales web page. Many ebook resale rights products come pre-packaged with sales pages that you can modify and upload to your own site.
Here, then, are some benefits of ebooks that you can use to sell your ebook titles to your customer base:
1. Ebooks for resale are a growing industry. Buying an ebook is more convenient for your customer than buying a paperback . Also, most ebooks cost less than print books, even cheaper than mass market paperbacks in many cases.
2. Ebooks are available over the Internet, 24/7, downloadable in a few minutes or less. So your customer can just download what they want, when they want it.
3. The software to read most ebooks, such as Adobe Acrobat, is free to download and fast to update.
4. Carrying a whole library's worth of ebooks on a laptop computer is easy. So there is less physical stress.
But you might be asking, what are some benefits of ebook resale rights to you as a vendor? Why sell ebooks rather than something with a higher sticker price, for instance?
When you use ebook resale rights to set yourself up as an online store, the pieces of the business are easy to put together. It does not cost a lot to get started, either. So it can be an excellent starter business for the first-time online entrepreneur. Basically, you just need three things: (a) a web site that holds your sales pages, (b) a secure site to accept your customers' money (which is wherever the sales pages click through to), and (c) a secure web site where your customer can download a virus-free ebook file.
That's really about it. Of course, you also need to find methods for promoting your ebook store at an affordable price. There are entire books about that (and ebooks, certainly!). And there will be more, since the technology behind ebooks continues to evolve. This means that the most effective strategies for woking in the field of ebook resale rights continue to evolve too. Who knows — maybe someday, you can use your own experience to write and sell an ebook on how to sell an ebook!
Some current methods for promoting ebooks include: (a) your own blogs, (b) opt-in email newsletters, (c) back links from other web sites, and (d) "teaser" web pages that offer customers a free ebook in exchange for their email address. You can also trade links with like-minded bloggers. Also, learn whatever you can about search engine optimization, also known as SEO, so that the Google, Yahoo, and MSN "spiders" (web-crawling robots) can locate your sales pages, by way of your clever placement of keywords and keyword phrases within your sales page text.
Selling the ebook with resale rights simply means that you purchase the right to sell copies of a downloadable book to your buyer base, by setting up your own site. Sometimes you can make additional revenue by selling the master resale rights (which means you can license others as resellers) or affiliate marketing (which means that others get a commission for selling your copies by referring their readers to you).
There are many benefits to this business model, but they all boil down to two things:
1) the low overhead; and
2) the flexibility of the business model.
What this means is that selling ebooks online is a relatively easy way to get started in your own business. And the best way to make money with the ebook with resale rights is to offer your shoppers a high quality, unique product. With so many online sellers offering ebooks as downloadable content — sometimes for free, even — you must find a way to shine, in order to have lasting success. So your ebook must be the best possible product; you must learn how to promote it well, and then you must sell it at a price point that profits you while still providing value to your buyers. Allow enough time for word of mouth (online, this often means word of blog) to work in your favor.
If you do not write your own line of ebooks, then you will have to buy resalable ebooks that will interest your customers and prospects. To start, you could purchase a package of ebooks with resell rights. Some books in a bundle tend to be more worthwhile than others. However, it will be better for your sales in the long run if you can "cherry-pick" specific ebook with resale rights products that you are enthused enough about to drive an effective promotion campaign. Your customers can tell when you are just going through the motions of selling a kit versus selling something that you believe has real value.
Persistence pays. As with nearly any endeavor, you must keep trying new approaches and learn from your mistakes. Most people do not succeed in business because they give up too early. Sometimes they overspend, too. So in order to succeed, you must push past the obstacles, stick to your budget, and keep going even if it feels like nothing is working out.
Also, remember to ask for help when you need it. We forgot to mention one other benefit to the ebook business model: there is a huge base of sellers all across the world who trade tips, day and night, every day of the year.
Once you have found a subject area or niche you are enthused about selling in, then run some searches on likely keyword combinations for your area of interest. Right after each keyword phrase, type in the word "forums" to see if there is already an online bulletin board of users discussing the opportunities and pitfalls.
Take the time to make a business plan for your ebook with resale rights store. This should include a budget and some goals. Just put them down for now; you can always refine them later once you know more about what your ebook business entails. There is no sure-fire method to come out on top of the pack, all the time. However, your careful planning and research will a long way toward paying out your fair share of online sales using the ebook with resale rights.
Pay once for ebooks with resale rights, and every time you make a new ebook sale, you'll pocket the profit. That's resale rights, in a nutshell.
Some information providers also allow you to buy the right to sell the resale rights for their ebooks, in addition to the ebook itself. This is known as master resale rights, which provide you with two income streams from the same ebook. For those who want to buy these additional rights from you, typically they buy both your ebook and the key or code that allows them to resell it to their customer base. Your customers who want just the ebook pay a lower price.
What is a niche market? A niche market is like a specialty store. Customers in a niche market want specialized information, so it is deep rather than broad. Sometimes this is also called a vertical market.
When you buy ebooks with resale rights in a niche market, you buy the rights to resell specialized information. You may also be buying the right to repackage it. This is an important distinction to check on before your purchase. What this means is that you can improve upon the original packaging by giving the product a more interesting title, or one designed to appeal to more people. Hundreds or even thousands of sellers may be marketing the same product as you, so by giving it a different title, you may stand out from the selling crowd.
Titles are very important. Often, coming up with a catchy title on an often-used search term is the most creative part of your job. You can even sell the same product using different titles. Learn to think like your potential customers using a search engine to find out about your topic. Figure out what common alternate spellings, misspellings, or reverse word orders they might use in their searches.
However, one advantage to buying ebooks with resale rights to a niche market is that there may not be so much competition selling the same content. That means that you will then need to target a market that is highly likely to buy the content you have. You might do this through industry-specific websites, a targeted email list, linking to your site via blogs, or even via print ads in specialty magazines or newspapers. Set yourself a strict budget for such expenditures and take care not to overspend.
A great way to build your customer base is by providing as much variety in a particular niche as you can acquire for a particular category of ebooks with resale rights. If you can become recognized as the go-to site for a particular subject area, then you will build your customer base.
Publicity is important. Any time you acquire new ebooks with resale rights, or whenever something interesting happens in your business, then use that event to publicize your site. Create a downloadable press release. Try to get reviewed online.
Still, gaining a following by being a reputable and useful seller is the way to build your online business. Just as in any other business, word-of-mouth (in the online world, it's probably word-of-email, or word-of-blog) is the best advertising of all.

Santos eliminates LA Galaxy from CCL, Queretaro ends D.C. United's run
Argentinian striker Martin Bravo scored twice as Santos routed the LA Galaxy 4-0 on Tuesday night to reach the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals.
Bravo opened the scoring in the 18th minute and added a strike in the 61st for the "Guerreros," who are trying to qualify for their first final since the 2012-13 season.
"Clearly, Santos was the better team today," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said after the match. "They started in an aggressive fashion, were technically better than us and fitter. At this time of the year, they're just a better team than we are."
Asked about the Galaxy star players -- Steven Gerrard, Robbie Keane, Nigel de Jong, Giovani Dos Santos and Jelle Van Damme all started -- Arena said: "I didn't see any superstars on our team today."
Ashley Cole did not play as he was in Rome for the birth of his son.
"I think mentally we'll be fine. We'll recover from this performance," Arena said. "And our league starts on Sunday [with the Galaxy home against D.C. United], so we have to be ready to play on Sunday."
Arena admitted that Liga MX "is ahead of MLS at this point in time" but that MLS is "closing the gap."
He added that the CCL schedule favors the Mexican clubs and said the league should work to adjust the calendar.
"It's been, obviously, a complaint of ours for a number of years," Arena said. "However, in all fairness to CONCACAF, they're adherent to [FIFA's] international calendar."
Ulises Davila scored in the 23rd minute and Djaniny Tavares in the 36th also scored for Santos, who will face the winner of the quarterfinal series between Club America and Seattle.
Santos joined Queretaro, who beat D.C. United over two legs, in the semifinals.
The Mexican teams have dominated this tournament, winning the past 10 championships. Costa Rica's Saprissa was the last non-Mexican team to win the CONCACAF Champions League, in 2005.
The Galaxy was trying to reach their first semifinals since 2012-13.
D.C. United was eliminated as well despite Julian Buescher's first professional goal in a 1-1 draw against Queretaro.
Angel Sepulveda scored early for Queretaro, which won the two-legged quarterfinal series 3-1 on aggregate to reach the semifinals in its first appearance in the tournament.
Buescher, United's first-round pick in January's MLS SuperDraft, answered late to provide consolation in D.C.'s second quarterfinal exit in as many years.
