"The Ring" Coming to Bluray in March
Gore Verbinski's 2002 Asian horror remake will be stepping through Blu-ray's TV in March only at Best Buy.
Paramount is getting ready to release 'The Ring' starring Naomi Watts and Brian Cox on Blu-ray on March 20 exclusively at Best Buy.
'The Ring' is the critically acclaimed, smash hit thriller David Ansen of Newsweek says "raises some serious goosebumps!" This cinematic thrill ride will keep you on the edge of your seat from the stunning opening to the astonishing conclusion!
It begins as just another urban legend-the whispered tale of a nightmarish videotape that causes anyone who watches it to die seven days later. But when four teenagers all meet with mysterious deaths exactly one week after watching just such a tape, investigative reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) tracks down the video…and watches it. Now, the legend is coming true, the clock is ticking and Rachel has just seven days to unravel the mystery of The Ring.
Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $22.98.

IT'S not just humans that still reel from the effects of a trauma many years later: ecosystems do too. Thousands of years after human hunters wiped out big land animals like giant ground sloths, the ecosystems they lived in are still experiencing the effects.
Many ecosystems rely on big herbivores to spread nutrients, mostly in the form of dung. "If you remove the big animals from an ecosystem, you pretty much stop nutrients moving," says Chris Doughty at the University of Oxford.
Doughty and colleagues simulated the distribution of phosphorus, a nutrient that plants need to grow, in the Amazon basin in South America. This area was once home to spectacularly large herbivores, such as the elephant-like gomphotheres and giant ground sloths (pictured).
But about 12,500 years ago, around the time humans moved into South America, these huge animals all died out, hit by the double whammy of hunting and a changing climate. Nowadays the Amazon is home to a huge diversity of animals. "But these extinctions cut out all the big animals," says Doughty.
It seems the mass extinction had a profound effect on how phosphorus is spread around the Amazon basin. Nutrients are released when rocks are eroded, and then get distributed onto flood plains by rivers. In South America, the most phosphorus-rich soils – and hence plants – are found near the Andes mountain chain in the west, and alongside the rivers flowing from it, especially the Amazon. Animals eat these phosphorus-rich plants, then move on to a new area and release the phosphorus when they defecate.
Using the relationship between living animals' ability to spread nutrients and their size as a guide, Doughty estimated how much phosphorus South America's larger extinct animals would have moved 15,000 years ago, before their decline.
The model suggests that megafauna would have spread nutrients 50 times further than animals today do over the same time period. Or to put it another way, killing off the massive animals reduced the movement of nutrients by 98 per cent. This is because big animals move a disproportionately large amount of nutrients compared with small animals, they travel further in search of food, and they keep that food in their guts for longer (Nature Geoscience, doi.org/nfm).
Doughty compares big animals to the arteries that carry blood around the body. "When you get rid of big animals, it's like severing the nutrient arteries." He thinks the same thing has happened in North America, Europe and Australia, where most big animals have also been wiped out.
"The idea that herbivores redistribute nutrients is not new, but the scale of this thinking is much, much bigger," says Tim Baker at the University of Leeds in the UK.
If Doughty is right, the Amazon is still changing in response to the extinction. His model predicts that nutrient distribution will get patchier for another 17,000 years, although the effect will probably be dwarfed by the impacts of deforestation and climate change in the short term, says Baker.
In the absence of massive herbivores, humans now dominate the movement of nutrients – but we do the opposite of what the extinct animals did. We spread fertiliser on small plots of productive farmland, and keep large animals like cows fenced in rather than letting them roam freely. "There are probably more nutrients because of people, but they are very poorly distributed," says Doughty.

Have a great day.
The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Topic: Datachecker/DTS
Posted: 15 March 2006 at 2:35am
Hello all! New here! The first computer I was proficient on was the Datachecker/DTS 2000 by National Semiconductor. I was trained on them at a Kroger grocery store in 1995. I would love to have one, but I can't find them anywhere. I can't even find a picture of one! Anyone know where I can locate one of these obsolete macines?

Hi Seth. Did you ever find anything on Datachecker/DTS 2000? I, too, was trained on them in 1996 (Giant Eagle, Pittsburgh) and have been searching for information related to them. Any luck?

Not Ron I'm afraid, but ....
I worked for ICL briefly on the LEO III-26 in Charles House (just up the road from you ?) back in the 70's during the fuel crisis, getting to work was fun, finding which petrol stations had stocks. I mostly to worked on Ampex drives as I had experience of TM4's from the MOD.

Hi Mike
The huge Charles House government office complex is no more. It has recently been demolished and luxury (expensive!) flats are in the process of being built.
For a dozen years I worked walking distance from there in Earls Court. One of my operators left to work in the BT computer site there.
When I started with ICL equipement, mostly there was the 1900 range, and (I think) occasional System 4's, LEO's and Atlas's. These last two were names used/retained for historical reasons. So many ranges as ICL was formed by amalgamating a number of companies, each with their own offerings.
Interestingly, the LEO's were conceived just down the road towards Hammersmith. This was due to some far sighted individuals at Joe Lyons realising they had a need for a computer, but at the time they were not available. So they built one (LEO = Lyons Electronic Office)
I once attended a lecture by Dr or Prof Pinkerton, leader of the team who built it.
Joe Lyons is also no more due to management failings and little remains of its huge complex. I frequently pass their War Memorial, which has been relocated to Margravine Cemetary in Barons Court, containing the names of hundreds of their employees.

I worked for Datachecker when it was Nat'l Semiconductor. Worked field service in the Los Angeles area. This must have been in the 70's. I do remember doing system installs, had to load up the backroom (NS1600) cpu with IBM cards, The POS terminals
were based on the IMP-1600 16 bit micro by National Semi.
A lot of hours but also had a lot of fun. I remember the blue Falcon station wagon company supplied cars and hauling around the teletype model 33 in the back.
I started in POS with Singer Business Machines (Los Angeles), later worked with Victor Comptometer (Los Angeles), they had a standalone ECR built on Rockwell LSI chips. We repaired at the component level. Even worked for Sweada out in Semi Vally for about 6 months.
Later worked for a POS company in Santa Clara, CA. We carried about 8 or more different brands. We had a high end restaurant system based on HLX. One of the engineers designed the All Bottle Liquor control system (now Berg All Bottle System).
Well, nothing stays the same and life moves on.
Glad I found this forum.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Just figured I'd chime in.
Darwin is basically the kernel and some of the unix side utils.
It's available for powerpc (and as previously noted) Intel.
Keep in mind that OSX is basically an ancestor of the old nextstep which
ran on Motoroll and Intel (and I think maybe 1-2 others).
As far as I can tell the G5 is dead, motorolla called it quits on the
desktop when apple killed all the apple clones, motorolla wanted to go
after the embedded market for cpu's for cars, cell phones and the like.
In any case this was publically announced.
Kinda sad, Motorolla has played a large part in keeping Apple behind
the price/perf curve. At one point Motorola couldn't break 500 Mhz
and IBM could, alas Motorola wouldn't allow IBM to make faster chips
and IBM couldn't because they required the altivec license.
Thankfully motorola has given up, and no longer restricts IBM.
Now that IBM has free reign they have just added Altivec to the Power 4
which has been shipping in high end servers for some time now. Excellent
memory performance, full 64 bit registers/pointers, and other fun stuff.
It even has vertical threading, but I think thats a bit to complex
for discussion here.
So basically IBM has a killer 64 bit chip, killer memory bus (which
has long been a serious problem with Apple), and altivec (required for
some specialized software), it's expected to show up in apple's
sometime in the next year.
On the other hand a very similar but x86 compatible chip is expected from
AMD (the hammer/x86-64) in the next month or so, it uses a interconnect
called Hypertransport. It's used as fast cheap high speed interface on
quite a few pieces of hardware today. Some x86 motherboards, the xbox,
some athlon motherboards (nforce/nforce2), some embedded MIPS cpus etc.
Quite a bit of industry support seems to be building for Hypertransport,
among the licenses are Cisco, Nvidia, ATI, Sun, and Apple.
So you combine apple offering the OSX kernel and related stuff (darwin)
for Intel, Apple licensing HT, and apple needing a serious memory/cpu
upgrade to stay competitive and you come to the conclusion that apple
is at least considering OSX for intel.
Not to mention Apple would love to run a Switch campaign against
microsoft/intel saying what, you still use a "32 bit" OS/Apps/Hardware?
How 90's ;-)
On the flipside the powerpc970 (which IMO apple would be dead without),
apple can stay competitive, and I'm sure the developers would rather
support 1 architecture than 2. Even is OSX has the fatbinary support
from nextstep.

Manatee BOCC Members Express Desire to Keep Administrator from Planned Retirement
|Ed Hunzeker
BRADENTON – Following the County Administrator's Annual Report to the Manatee County Commission Tuesday, Commissioners moved to begin contract extension negotiations to retain Ed Hunzeker beyond his planned 2014 retirement date. Hunzeker is currently in the Florida Retirement System's DROP Program and was scheduled to retire in August of 2014 after serving as Manatee County Administrator since 2007.
"(Hunzeker) has accomplished many money saving measures in his time here and he's given us a peek of an ambitious agenda ahead," Commission Chairman Larry Bustle said of Hunzeker. "Ed's leadership is vital. I think it's a bad time to let him go."
The rest of the BOCC unanimously authorized the Chair to enter contract extension talks with Hunzeker, who served as Hillsborough's assistant administrator and then Osceola County Administrator before being hired by Manatee. The motion came on the heels of Hunzeker's report, which touted the success of Manatee's efforts to reduce employee health care costs through an emphasis on preventative care and healthy lifestyles.
"County Commission policies and the efforts of our remarkable staff have put Manatee County on the cutting edge of some innovative projects and programs that are making a difference in lives," Hunzeker said. "Counties around the state and the region are looking to Manatee County as an innovator and a leader. We have a clear opportunity to become a leader in other areas not only in 2013 but for years to come."
Hunzeker is 65 and is currently enrolled in the DROP program of the Florida Retirement Service. His annual salary is about $170,000.

Great story and wonderful idea. The same could be done here since buying new is not cheap and yet having a form or reliable transportation that is an alternative to a car would be great. I love the fact that a local artist and other local people were used in the restoration of the bikes. This was a wonderful implementation of using local sources, green products and providing jobs for those in the community. It would be great if all ventures small or large would see how they can not only bring their goods to market but provide work for others in their community and build a local network of skilled workers and artist.

June 7 Results
Wiley took advantage of the leaders running side by side and moved to second in one of the exchanges. Rohn got loose coming into the first turn and went spinning. Field was unable to avoid and collected Rohn with a hard hit. Emergency personnel checked him out but the veteran driver was able to get out of his car on his own.
Back under green, VanderMark was the new leader with Wiley and Prochazka the top three. With just a couple laps left, Wiley began to challenge for the lead but VanderMark held on for the win. Wiley settled for second, followed by Prochazka, Chad Raby, Doug McKeown, Sr., Troy Goodrich, Ricky Smith Sr., Alex Richards, Field, and Rohn.
Heats were claimed by Kevin Rohn and Dennis Parker.

During my childhood, I dreamed of being many things when I grew up – a policeman, a vet, a cartoonist, a dinosaur – but the first time I knew what I wanted to be was at age 10, whilst dressed as Anne Robinson. That prestigious role was bestowed upon me by my Junior School teacher not because of any spark of talent that he'd recognised but for the simple reason that I had similar glasses to her and was too awkward and shy to protest. The show was made up of various sketches and parodies and was our year's last before we left for the terrifying, exciting world of Secondary School. Terrifying is perhaps an understatement; after all, I went to Earlsheaton.*
I remember the feeling of sheer terror as my 'Weakest Link' sketch approached; it was the first time I'd stepped out in front of a proper audience. There were no more than 60 parents and grannies watching but to me it felt like I was about to step onstage at Madison Square Garden. To my surprise, when I did grace the stage in my long black coat and frilly shirt, people started laughing. Only they weren't laughing at me, they were laughing because I was being funny. They were laughing at my impersonation; the cocky side-smile, the way I looked over my glasses and how I drew out the last word of each sentence. Suddenly the nerves went away and for the first time, I was performing. For those four or five minutes, I had the audience in the palm of my hand. It was an amazing feeling and from then on I knew that all I would ever want to do was perform.
Fast forward to 2012 and I still feel the same way. Although looking back on it now, I do think that Mr Hutton's actions, namely pressuring an introverted young lad into dressing up as a popular female TV personality, were a little bit weird. But still, thanks to his borderline creepiness I found my true calling. And it could've been worse, he made two of my friends be the Cheeky Girls.
I first joined the Dewsbury Arts Group in 2008, after being encouraged to do so by my
High School drama teacher, Miss Sutton-Jones. Since joining, I have worked with numerous other theatre groups but Dewsbury Arts is truly unique. I have yet to come across another group as passionate, dedicated, professional or with the same quality of tea making skills.
My first lead role with the group was in Neil Simon's semi autobiographical 'Brighton Beach Memoirs', directed by the brilliant Terry Ryan. I played the part of Eugene Morris Jerome, a 15 year old Polish-Jewish American boy going through puberty and sexual awakening in 1930's Brooklyn, surrounded by his slightly unbalanced family. It was a challenging part; for the first time I had to use an American accent, learn a lot of lines and, more significantly, portray a character with both humour and heart… but with the support of the group and Terry in particular, I gave a performance that I was proud of. I remember one particular scene near the end of the first act which had a great effect on me. It was a scene in which Eugene has an argument with his older brother Stanley, which escalates until Eugene screams and swears at his brother before slumping on his bed and crying. For the first time in the play, we see that beneath Eugene's cocky exterior there is a confused, sensitive young boy. It's a wonderful scene which taught me that there is more to acting, to performing, than simply making an audience laugh. You also have to make them care.
Since then, the opportunities the group has offered me have been extraordinary.
I have represented the group at the All England Theatre festival in the one-act play 'A Dog's Life' (directed by Chris Fletcher), played the lead role in the musical 'Little Shop of Horrors' (directed by David Fletcher) and, most recently, starred in Alan Ayckbourn's 'Comic Potential', directed by Richard Brook, a futuristic romantic comedy focusing on the relationship between a young American scriptwriter and an android. All that is in addition to featuring in numerous Christmas shows, winning 'Who's Line Is It Anyway?' at the Member's Social Evening and, with the group IMPS (consisting of DAG members), performing in an original show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011.
Living inside my head can be quite aggravating sometimes; I'm just a little bit neurotic and insecure and have a variety of different personas for different people, which I hide behind to mask the fact that the world and it's inhabitants terrify and fascinate me in equal measure. Perhaps I'm being dramatic, but I do often think that I'm the odd one out which, I suppose, just makes me very human and english.
For me, acting is hiding in plain sight. I think that's why I love it so much. When I'm onstage, nothing else matters and I have Dewsbury Arts Group to thank for offering me such terrific opportunities to get lost inside a character, whether it be a bumbling florist with extra-terrestrial issues, an abandoned puppy or a horny Jewish teenager. I will be forever grateful to Terry Ryan, David Wood, Richard Brook, Chris Fletcher, David Fletcher, Gary Clayton and many other members of the group for their invaluable advice and encouragment as I continue to challenge myself and develop as an actor.
I hope that my hard work and determination will pay off and that I'll one day find myself gracing the professional stage… but until then I have DAG. And they'll do for me.
Dan Sean Henry
(I'll be blogging again in the near future, I plan to go into more detail about my experiences with the group. I won't, however, mention the time I accidentally walked in on the Life Drawing class. I don't think that's the sort of thing you mention on a blog, is it?)
– – –
*I thought Earlsheaton was a great school, I'm just going with the mainstream and bashing it. Forgive me.

"The fox never found a better messenger than himself."
Irish Proverb
During an unusual January thaw that saw warmer temps and pouring rain, we were witness to a fabulous sight, our resident red fox (Vulpes vulpes), the largest of the fox family and most widely seen throughout many parts of the world. We named him, Axl, and he has been lived in these parts for a while although elusive most of the time. What was most unusual was that he hung around the street travelling among the houses hunting as the snow had melted. Of course fox usually hunt at dusk and dawn, but not this fellow.
He didn't seem to mind the pouring rain, with that gorgeous thick winter coat, even coming almost to the front porch as he sniffed for mice and voles. Voles are very plentiful here, and a preference we have seen for this fox. We have witnessed his incredible hunting techniques as he has taken rabbits as well. Hunting with snow cover does not stop him. It is amazing to watch his aerial launch and plunge into the snow. Red fox are also known to hunt small mammals, birds, reptiles, grasses, tubers and all kinds of fruits.
But today he was sniffing the spots where he knows the varmints hang out. We can watch him for hours and never tire of his trotting. It is not easy getting pictures so we whistle out the window. This stops him long enough for us to snap a few shots. Isn't he gorgeous with his black socks and long tail.
On this day though he was back just behind the fence in our neighbors far back yard. We could just see him beyond our trees sniffing, listening and waiting. As he pounced and came up with the rodent meal, we noticed another surprise. Can you see it by the blue tarp. There was another fox peeking out. We figured this was a female as she was smaller and it is close to mating season. This is the first time we have seen him with a possible mate since spotting the male 4 years ago when he was a bit smaller.
We think they have a den somewhere close by perhaps even in the wild area behind us. Dens are usually found on slopes or banks especially near tree roots. We don't think we have ever heard them calling, but if you listen to their vocalizations, they can sometimes sound like owls and other birds with similar screams.
Of course the other red fox could have been a subordinate fox as the families will stay together where young will live with their parents even when grown. We were delighted to see our young fox 4 years ago as we surmised he was seeking out his own territory.
Soon after finding food, the pair left the area. The rain was stopping and this fox is wary of humans and neighborhood dogs as he has learned the habits of his human neighbors. With the weather letting up, humans and pets were likely to come out. And luckily for the fox we rarely see coyotes in our immediate area as they are one of the predators of fox. Red fox are not endangered even though they were heavily hunted for their fur. I always found it disgusting to see a woman wearing a fox fur, head and all.
We are hopeful to see babies or kits one of these years. Kits are born blind, deaf and toothless. Parents are doting and both parents protect their babes. Fathers will feed the mothers or vixens as they stay with their young, and if the mother is killed the father will care for the kits. Fox are said to live on average 5 years in the wild.
Fox are well known in the folklore of many cultures around the world:
- In China and Japan, it is believed that fox spirits share the world with humans and were thought to be shape shifters. They even thought pleasing the fox spirit would reward you richly.
- To appease the fox, the Japanese make sacrifices at special shrines.
- The fox has appeared in fables and tales throughout history like Aesop's the fox and the grapes.
- Native Americans have many stories and meanings for the fox: sometimes thought of as a trickster, they are considered persistent, gentle, less aggressive than the wolf and great at camouflage.
- If you dream about fox you are said to get some of the swiftness, cleverness and gentleness of the fox.
- The fox was thought to have great knowledge of the hidden things underground.
I hope you enjoyed our latest sighting of our red fox. Do you see fox in your area? Do you have a favorite critter that visits?

Reviewing penny stock markets determining opportunity, if any. Your guard should be up when researching penny stocks. Taking a company from a pennystock and eventually listing on a major exchange is a challenging feat. Many companies attempt it every year, many fail. One example is TRLG, initially a pennystock, recently bought out for $30 per share. Stocks like TRLG are rare, but they happen.

Punjab National Bank - PNB NET BANKING
PNB - Overview
Punjab National Bank was incorporated in 1895 in New Delhi, India, where is also based its head office. Having started its service as a private company, PNB bank has been privatised during the nationalisation in 1969. Together with State Bank of India, ICICI Bank and Bank of Baroda, PNB forms the Big Four Banks of India group.
One of distinctive features about Punjab National Bank is that it is the first Indian bank having been started with 100% Indian capital that has survived till today. Chronologically, the first 100% Indian bank was the founded in 1891 Commercial Bank; however, it put an end to its service in 1958.
Currently, Punjab National Bank delivers its service to over 82 million customers. Its branch network includes 6000 offices, out of them 5 overseas, and as well 2165 ultra-small branches. Along with its in-person operations, PNB provides its clients with the modern and powerful PNB net banking [bold; hyperlink with alt and title tag] solution.
Among all signs of recognition that Punjab National Bank has won over the time of its service, one of the most prestigeous to its professionals is the governmental 'Best Corporate Social Responsibility Practice' award for 2010.
History of PNB
PNB started its operations on 12 April 1895, from its first office in Lahore (presently located in Pakistan). During the first stages of its functioning, PNB bank has experienced several crises, including the one caused by the partition of India in 1947 - which made it to close 92 (33%) of its offices and to move its headquarters in New Delhi. During the partition process, PBN has honoured all the refugees' deposit claims, even the ones based on a smallest evidence. After surviving this hard period, PNB got on the road of its actual growth.
Punjab National Bank has serious traditions in pioneering, regarding many processes in developing the financial sector in India. For instance, it was the first to:
• appoint auditors, in 1895 - long before it was mandatory required;
• put into practice the 'teller' devices, in 1944
and more.
With the nationalisation in 1969, Punjab National Bank entered a new significant stage of growth. In accordance with governmental strategy of fighting poverty by means of self-employment, it expanded its presence in unbanked areas of India. It even exceeded the state goals in lending sector and also, being actively engaged in developing the rural credit system, PNB started sponsoring regional rural banks. Together with enlarging its assets, PNB bank expanded its participation in socially beneficial acts and schemes in India. Among the latest achievements in PNB's long and stormy history could be cited:
• In 2000, it launched a gold import scheme, through an agreement with Commerzbank.
• In the same year, PNB became the first publick sector bank to promote a Voluntary Retirement scheme.
• In 2002, PNB entered a joint venture with InfoSys in order to put into practice its Centralised Banking Solution - the basis and the first stage of PNB net banking (PNB Internet banking) service.
• In the same year, PNB made another step towards modern PNB net banking options, by building relations with Cisco Systems so to network all its active branch offices.
• In 2003, PNB tied up with Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd so to establish a private equity fund proposed for investment in domestic companies.
• In 2004, PNB launched its corporate Internet banking solution - a significantly new stage in implementing PNB net banking service.
• In the same year, PNB bank and ICICI Bank signed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for ATM network sharing across the country.
• In 2006, PNB entered an agreement with MasterCard International for launching a signature-based debit card.
• During 2008-2009, PNB become the largest nationalised bank to have all its branches and extension offices networked through Core Banking Solution - thus, PNB net banking became available through any PNB office.
• In 2011, PNB entered its engagement with Weizmann Forex Ltd, BFC Forex and Financial Services Ltd so to extend its trading related service.

Punjab National Bank Options Through
PNB Net Banking, Mobile Banking and Phone Banking
Having spreaded its service across the country, Punjab National Bank especially takes into account that modern ways of delivering it become more and more important with every passing day. In order to meet the requirements of nowadays, the Bank has built relations with some eminent companies in the IT niche and as a result, its customers can enjoy fast, comfortable and safe PNB Internet banking and mobile banking operations.
➢ PNB net banking (PNB Internet banking) opportunity
The main feature of the PNB net banking and its web portal as a whole is that you are provided not only with the needed service but as well with all the relevant documentation which to help you make the right decision regarding this service. Every single product group is exposed on its website together with some other useful info and sources, for instance - farmers are provided with a reference to institutions engaged in agriculture guidance and partnership; stock traders are provided with in-built National Stock Exchange market tracker etc.
Safety of operations is another important element of your PNB net banking experience.

Surely, you can combine PNB net banking with PNB ATM-based operations if needed.
➢ PNB mobile banking opportunity
Together with PNB Internet banking this is the most future-oriented type of service of the Bank. And, like PNB net banking, PNB mobile banking is fast, powerful and secure. It also has its own portal where you can find information on supported devices, offered ways of delivering the service, question-answer type of user guide and more. Of course, also included here is the option of SMS alert.
As for the financial operations available through PNB mobile banking - please, see them in the list above; it is as powerful as PNB net banking. And one more feature in common - like PNB net banking, PNB mobile could be combined with operations through ATM device.
➢ PNB phone banking opportunity
Surely, there are situations where personal contact is significantly preferable than the PNB Internet banking or mobile banking options. Knowing it, PNB is keeping a 24/7 active phone line to answer your questions and/or needs; you can use a toll-free PNB number or a tolled one, at your choice.

CBS has paired "The Royal Family" with another sitcom starring a black performer. While the veteran Redd Foxx might have the clout put over a family sitcom, young Phill Lewis can't do much with "Teech," another high-school comedy premiering tonight at 8:30 (Channel 11).
This time, the school is an exclusive boarding school, so music teacher "Teech" Gibson (Lewis) has to endure watermelon jokes and being mistaken for the electrician. Teech asks his class, "Does anyone know what I'm doing here?" And wise-mouth student Freedman (Joshua Hoffman) shoots back: "You're the token black teacher."

I had all that brisket from yesterday, and decided to use some today. Its a twist on your classic Black Beans and Rice. But for the meat, its brisket instead of pork. Cooked up the beans from raw, and just before they were done, added some brisket, sauteed onions and green peppers, jalapeno peppers, and a whole load of spices including cayenne and cumin, salt, black pepper, and a few more. Then just the right amount of a couple of different hot sauces. Its spicy, but not blow your mind hot. Very filling, and very easy to make.
The chopped peppers and onions, and few of the many spices
The beans ready to eat (sorry, the pic is kind of washed out)
Plated up with some warm tortilla, and a little more hot sauce.

Sounds great, I'm going to have to try this the next time I do brisket.

How do we try it? Is there supposed to be a recipe here somewhere or what? You might want to include all the steps and all the ingredients so we can try it... doesn't do us much good just to know what you had for supper. :(

(Or, from light verse to trite verse in one easy step)
Here is the grave of Norman Ned -
This man is born, but not yet dead.
His life goes by from day to day
In (more or less) a normal way.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league backward!
Out of the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Backward, the Light Brigade!
"Watch out for guns!" he said:
Out of the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Jan stood upon the jagged cliff and cried
"I can't go on! This is the end of me!"
The clouds grew dark. The wind was cold. So Jan
Drove into town and had a cup of tea.
The boy jumped off the burning deck...

In a time that seems so long ago, I loved the fact that bad things didn't happen here. We never bothered locking the doors. We didn't need an alarm, we were safe. That was until one tragic night in Mont Vernon a few years ago. There's not a night now where I don't double-check the alarm, make sure it's set, and think about what was senselessly taken from all of us in a profoundly tragic and violent manner.
Back to that early morning, just two days before Christmas. Our alarm sounded and alerted 911. Before we could fully react, two troopers were outside our home -- ready, making sure my family was safe. - Read the

Things to Remember When Working with Filmmakers:
Ask how many days and what hours the company will be in your town/building/site, etc.
Find out what is being filmed. Have them describe the scenes completely.
Will there be an advance group coming in to prepare the site for the film crew?
How many people can you expect to be involved with the production?
Is an assembly or staging area required for equipment or personnel?
Where will the production vehicles park?
Will an extra power source be used for lighting, or will access to an internal source be required?
How much additional security, police or other personnel will be required?
Will there be alterations to property?
Will any areas be closed off to the public?
Where will the cast and crew be fed their meals?
What is the best point of access for the filmmakers and their equipment?
It is always easier if there is only one contact person at the location and with the company.
How soon will things be restored if need be?
Make sure they return the property to its original condition.
Try to be flexible with the production companies and realize that schedule changes are not uncommon.
Regarding Insurance...Ask to see proof of:
Third party property damage
Personal injury/liability
Hold harmless agreement (will insure against any and all liability claims)
Comprehensive general liability
Location Agreement Tips:
You can put riders on the contract. Be prepared that it may take additional approval time.
The agreement allows for a company to come back if necessary at a mutually agreeable time.
Feel free to take photos of the area to be used for filming before the company comes to use as a reference later if needed.
Let the company know of any restrictions at the initial meeting.
Try to be flexible with the production companies and realize that schedule changes are not uncommon.
Submit Your Property as a Potential Film Location:
Illinois Property owners can submit locations to be considered for future productions. To submit your property, please fill out the form below and the Illinois Film Office will contact you. Once contacted, you will be asked to submit electronic photos of your property for use in our extensive location library.

YIELD: Makes 6 Servings
Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and bake them in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 1 hour. In a small saucepan melt the butter and stir in the parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Cut the warm baked potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, arrange the slices, overlapping them, on plates, and drizzle each serving with some of the parsley butter.

Dilated capillaries (also called broken capillaries) are blocked blood vessels. Dilated capillaries of the face are noticable if skin is dry or sensitive. The surest way to get rid of them is by laser, but make-up, creams and massage can also help.
Causes of Dilated Capillaries
Sun, cigarettes, alcohol, facial scrubs, heat, cold, water-based moisturizers worn in freezing conditions, and eye-glasses weighing on the bridge of the nose are the main causes of dilated capillaries of the face.
Like rosacea, the condition is harmless although difficult to heal. But concealer, creams and massage can help.
Covering Dilated Capillaries with Concealer
Covering dilated capillaries with make-up is easy and fast.
First, apply a base of day cream. If dilated capillaries show through very red, green concealer neutralizes their color: use a concealer brush to apply. Follow up with foundation matching natural skin tone exactly. Densely pigmented cream or compact foundations work best.
Creams for Dilated Capillaries
Creams for dilated capillaries are made with extracts of crowfoot and celandine. These encourage circulation and keep capillary walls elastic. Although creams prevent more dilated capillaries, most don't get rid of them completely.
Dermatologists use retinaldehyd, a gentle form of vitamin A acid. It thickens skin, making dilated capillaries invisible.
Myofascial Massage
Myofascial massage releases the blockage that causes dilated capillaries.
Spread the finger tips (excluding thumbs) at each side of the nostrils. Massage using circular movements with firm but minimal pressure to the count of five. The skin should appear white after lifting the fingers. Move the fingers up a little further and massage again in the same way. Continue to the bridge of the nose and beneath the eyes.
For optimal results, massage for ten minutes at least four times a week. The best time to massage is directly after removing make-up when the skin is oil-free.
Massage has been known to diminish dilated capillaries completely, so it's a good idea to try it before opting for laser treatment.

Cornelius Town Manager Anthony Roberts will present his recommended FY2012 budget Monday, May 23 at 5 p.m. at Town Hall, 21445 Catawba Ave.
Town Board members discussed the latest draft of the budget during their regular board meeting Monday night, May 16. The draft is little changed from the plan commissioners have been discussing since the board retreat in March, which includes money for way-finding signs and other improvements to the Catawba corridor, adjustments to town employee salaries, construction and operations for the Westmoreland Athletic Complex and Robbins Park, and other items.
Board members have said they want a revenue neutral tax rate for next year. An exact calculation based on the state-mandated formula would put the rate at 25.2 cents per $100 of assessed value, down from the current 27.5 cents per $100 of assessed value. Mr. Roberts said Monday night that he expects to recommend a rate that's actually slightly below that – between 24.5 and 25 cents per $100 of assessed value. That would make it the lowest among N.C. towns of similar populations.
Following Mr. Roberts' presentation, the board will discuss further the budget and town business items.

Senators pound Canadiens 6-1, take 2-1 series lead
OTTAWA After getting his first NHL hat trick, Jean-Gabriel Pageau was left with a bloody smile after the Senators' Game 3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night.
The 20-year-old rookie lost a tooth in a fight-filled, emotional 6-1 win.
The teams combined for 236 penalty minutes and nine players were given a game misconduct.
The Senators have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series and Game 4 is Tuesday night in Ottawa.
Pageau, with his first career playoff goal, gave the Senators a 2-1 lead early in the second as he slipped between defensemen P.K. Subban and Andrei Markov to beat Carey Price over the shoulder.
Pageau is not likely to forget the goal as he was hit in the mouth by Subban on the goal and lost a tooth. Players could be seen looking for the tooth on the ensuing goal celebration.
"I might put it under my pillow and see what happens," Pageau kidded.
The crowd at Scotiabank Place chanted Pageau's name and the Ottawa native says he's hopeful to give them the opportunity to do it again.
"It was good motivation and forced me to push myself to keep going," Pageau said. "They liked my game and I didn't want to disappoint them after that."
The third period started with the Senators leading 2-1.
But after Pageau's second goal of the game and a Kyle Turris score made it 4-1, emotions overflowed and a line brawl broke out at center ice.
Turris' goal, his first of the series, at 7:00 put the game out of reach. On the ensuing faceoff, five different fights broke out.
"I thought we handled ourselves well under the circumstances and the duress we were put under and we defended ourselves," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said.
The Senators ended up with the man advantage after the brawl and Jakob Silfverberg scored on the power play as he beat Price up high to make it 5-1 only 8 seconds after Turris' goal.
More penalties were taken, and at one point, Ottawa was left with just five players on the bench, while Montreal had six.
Ottawa's veteran forward Daniel Alfredsson finished the game playing defense.
After the game, Montreal coach Michel Therien took exception with MacLean calling a timeout with 17 seconds remaining.
In Therien's opinion MacLean was trying to embarrass and humiliate the Canadiens.
"As far as I'm concerned that was classless," Therien said.
With so few players on his bench and things already out of hand, MacLean felt he had no other option than to call a timeout to get his message to his players.
"I didn't want anyone to get hurt, it was already getting dumb enough as it was," MacLean said. "I have two important players on my team and I still have games to play. We're not giving them a freebie. There's already enough of that."
MacLean went on to say that he was protecting his players and he would do it again.
