These amazing recipes include coffee-cured pulled pork, tamales, and cuban sandwiches with tomato jam.
Enjoy this Hawaiian version of a classic comfort sandwich kicked up a notch with a zesty and flavorful jam loaded with spices.
Linton Hopkins turns this slow-roasted pork shoulder into sliders. "Why are we so obsessed with the 30-minute meal?" he says. "I want to create a TV show called The 36-Hour Meal. The best things take a little bit of time."
Serve the pulled pork with coleslaw and pickles, or mound it on hamburger buns and top with coleslaw and thinly sliced onion and dill pickles.
People in the Delta are very serious about their tamales, which were introduced to the region decades ago by Mexican migrant workers. Big or small, hot or mild, steamed or stewed—every version is delicious. The leftover pork is great for making sandwiches.
Tim Love overstuffs his quesadillas with delectable braised pork and sautéed onions and peppers, then goes (almost) over the top by smearing the tortillas with soft, tangy goat cheese.
Sandwiches are a classic choice for a tailgate, but Ken Oringer likes to go beyond plain ham-and-cheese. For these cubanos he roasts and shreds pork butt, then he layers the succulent meat on rolls along with homemade tomato jam, grilled onions, pickles and Gruyère. He cooks the sandwiches on a portable grill until they are crispy and warm.
"Pressure cooking is great for braises," says Modernist Cuisine co-author Maxime Bilet. "You can make pork shoulder tender in 35 minutes." Thanks to the rapid cooking time, this dish is a realistic weeknight meal.
Traditional Carolina barbecue begins with a whole hog smoked over coals; here, Sean Brock cooks pork shoulder for 12 hours in a 275° oven before smoking it for about 1 hour in a backyard grill.
On Man vs. Food and Man vs. Food Nation, Adam Richman travels around the US eating huge quantities of hearty food. One of his favorite dishes, the Caribbean-style pork roast at Minneapolis's Brasa, is as filling as anything he eats on TV. Served with a citrusy mojo and a garlicky cilantro mayonnaise, it's a great dish for a crowd.

I work collaboratively and creatively to help clarify the changes you want and support progress towards them. The content and nature of my therapy is tailored to each individual, I seek to understand your situation, adopting ways of working and a pace to suit you.
As my clients get to know themselves better and challenge and change aspects of who they are, they most often speak of results in terms of having: the confidence to move forward, better relationships and more clarity about who they are and their direction in life.
Some people find the confidence they want in just a few sessions, often recovering a sense of their 'old self'. For long standing issues and more lasting change an open ended arrangement is more suitable.
My counselling works for people who are experiencing emotional pain of any sort. However it is particularly useful for those:
Prior to becoming a qualified counsellor in 2007 I worked in business, management and as a certified management consultant.

Libertarianism isn't all that conservative.
That's the argument former Bush Administration officials Mike Gerson and Pete Wehner offer in a new -- and important -- essay in National Affairs that posted today. Here's the key paragraph from that piece:
Responsible, self-governing citizens do not grow wild like blackberries, which is why a conservative political philosophy cannot be reduced to untrammeled libertarianism. Citizens are cultivated by institutions: families, religious communities, neighborhoods, and nations. Parents and spouses, churches and synagogues, teachers and coaches, and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are among the foremost shapers of citizens in our republic. But government has a necessary (if limited) role in reinforcing the social norms and expectations that make the work of these civil institutions both possible and easier. That role can involve everything from enforcing civil-rights laws, to saving the elderly from indigence, to restricting the availability of addictive substances.
The Gerson/Wehner piece is an argument for government (albeit it in a limited role) and a rejection of the so-called constitutional conservative/libertarian/tea party movement that has been organized around the principle that the government that does least does best. The essay lands at a time when libertarianism is very much on the march within the Republican party -- as evidenced by the rise of both Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz within the party not to mention the fact that a majority of House Republicans voted for a measure last summer to significantly curtail the government's spying powers.
Sentiments -- voiced by Paul and others -- that the U.S. needs to rethink its role as world policeman, for example, would have been unthinkable in the Republican party of even a decade ago. (George W. Bush was re-elected 10 years ago in large part due to his focus during the campaign on his ability -- and willingness -- to do what it took to keep Americans safe in the world.) Now, Paul's views are held by an increasing number of people who identify as Republicans including, most interestingly, young people (30 and under) who have abandoned the GOP in droves in the last two presidential elections.
Gerson and Wehner, on the other hand, are part of what can be described as the establishment wing of the GOP. And, their essay is the latest sign that the establishment is striking back -- rhetorically and policy-wise -- against a libertarian/tea party movement that, they believe, has run amok over the past four years and threatens to badly damage the party's prospects heading into 2014 and,especially, 2016.
"The alternative to government overreach is not the dogmatic disparagement of government but the restoration of government to its proper and honored place in American life," Wehner and Gerson write at one point. At another, they insist: "Conservatives should offer a menu of structural reforms that do not simply attack government but transform it on conservative terms."
The broad conclusion of the piece? A philosophy that rejects government will never prevail -- no matter how much the American public dislikes the direction that President Obama has led the country. "Conservatives are more likely to be trusted to run the affairs of the nation if they show the public that they grasp the purposes of government," write Gerson and Wehner. So, from health care to immigration to education and beyond, the duo argue that the party needs to be for something rather than against (almost) everything.
Little of that argument is new or unknown to party strategists looking toward not just the 2016 presidential race but also the long term electoral sustainability of the GOP. The problem for the Wehners and Gersons of the world is that the energy of the Republican party at the moment lies with those most willing to move in complete and total opposition to Obama, not those who want to make a nuanced argument about how government isn't always bad (or good). What's an easier stump speech to rile up the base: One that savages Obamacare and the growth of government or one that argues that true conservatism is a belief in some government when and where it's necessary? You already know the answer.

Reviews of Andy Yukimura
Once again, Andy was a great pleasure to work with! Great song and he is always ready to "fine-tune" the mix to get the most out of the mastering job. Can´t wait to work with him in his next song!
Andy has truly been a pleasure to work with. He is a very talented young songwriter that I hope to be able to work with again in the future.
Andy not only composes and performs great songs, he is also very much on top of every detail in the recording process, always trying to facilitate the engineer´s work. I am very proud of the sound we achieved together. Thanks Andy!
Andy is a superb song-writer! I highly recommend working with Andy and his music!
Andy is a great client to have. He's very respectful and easy to work with. He's very hard working and very reasonable when it comes to discussing the project. Thumbs up!
Andy is a not only an awesome singer/songwriter, but he's also very fun and easy to work with! I hope to collaborate with him again soon!
Great working with Andy. He has a positive attitude, easy to work with and brought excellent ideas to the table.
Working with Andy was a pleasure. He's got terrific melodic and lyrical ideas, and came in with a clear idea of what kind of sound he wanted for each of the songs he asked me to write. He trusted my musical judgment completely, and we ended up with three really cool, original songs. Just as important, Andy is kind and easy to work with. Thanks!

Back to where Blagojevich left off, before he was so abruptly prosecuted and convicted out of the news:
Young, handsome, healthy, and upwardly mobile used to be the best description of Congressman Jessie Jackson Jr., but alas, he has taken some time off to get healthy, handsome, and out of the limelight.
Balgo had a money man named Nayak. He was your typical pay-to-play Chicago bribe-master.
This is the guy who was the money behind Blago saying he had this thing that was worth something.
The "thing" was the chance to appoint a US Senator to Obama's Senate seat, and an offer to pick up some real bling if the appointment was another handsome, upwardly mobile, young minority from Chicago's seedy political cesspool.
You will not find this connection to the current occupier of the White House in our major news outlets because they are in the tank for the Kenyan Wonder.
More bad news for Obama, they do not need.
But the action is on and if you dig for it there is some real news just laying around for your reading pleasure.
Obama, Blagojevich, Tony Rezko, Jessie Jackson Jr., all the names that should be in the news await you.
Just look for the right bloggers.

A couple of lawsuits by parents challenge Facebook for using their kids' likenesses in social advertisements.
These suits beg the question: Should the social network set a minimum age limit for including users' activity in ads?
Certainly, setting an age limit would help the outcome of the lawsuits, but that could simultaneously eat into Facebook's advertising revenues — or not.

text: MIDLAND, Mich. ( TheStreet) -- A recent announcement from Dow Chemical ( DOW) is a major development in the renewable energy sector. It also provides competition for First Solar ( FSLR). In a press release, Dow detailed the rollout of a new roofing product that incorporates solar cells in roofing shingles. Dow says conventional roofing contractors will be able to intermix the shingles with conventional asphalt shingles and install both types simultaneously. The shingles will have an impact on the Zero Energy House, a project spearheaded by General Electric ( GE) that I wrote about in July. Dow refers to these shingles as Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) building materials. They use high-efficiency (Dow's words), CIGS-based, thin film photovoltaic cells manufactured on a flexible substrate. The structure is laminated into the final shingle using conventional polymer processing methods. CIGS refers to a material composed of copper, indium and gallium selenide. The term selenide refers to selenium, which is forming intermetallic compounds with the other three metals. Dow has not revealed the source for its CIGS photovoltaic cells. They could be producing a material that they have developed and will manufacture themselves. They might also be sourcing them from a number of companies that have been developing products using CIGS. Among these companies are Nanosolar of San Jose, Calif.; Global Solar of Tucson, Ariz.; MiaSole of Santa Clara, Calif.; and HelioVolt of Austin, Texas. All are privately held. Only Global Solar claims to be in full-scale production of CIGS products, with manufacturing facilities in Tucson and Berlin, Germany. More than a year ago, IBM ( IBM) announced a joint venture with privately held Tokyo Ohka Kogyo to develop CIGS technology that could be licensed to solar companies by 2010 or 2011. The stated objective was to produce solar cells with an electricity cost of less than $1 per watt at peak generation. This is a long-sought goal for solar technology. This cost goal would involve reaching 15% efficiency for photovoltaic cell operations. CIGS cells on the market today are in the area of 10% efficient. HelioVolt has announced a process that produces 12.2%-efficient cells using a new process, and Global Solar has said it expects to ultimately reach 14% efficiency. These efficiency goals are theoretically possible. In 2008 the U.S. National Renewable Energy Research Laboratory achieved an efficiency of 19.9% using the same general process technology that most commercial concerns are using (called co-evaporation).

The vision of ADDNI/OS is
|[o]pen sources are routinely exploited in all intelligence disciplines, facilitated by innovative experts — but with every officer open source capable. Supporting technology is interoperable, and the availability of information resources is maximized by strong public-private relationships, information sharing best practices, and an agile requirements process."
The values of ADDNI/OS are:
- Agility — the ability to respond quickly and effectively to any challenge or opportunity.
- Gestalt — the enterprise we build is greater than the sum of its parts.
- Excellence — in all our actions and activities, providing unparalleled support.
The ADDNI/OS established five goals for the National Open Source Enterprise:
- Source of First Resort. Open source is the source of first resort for all disciplines and the precursor for clandestine and technical collection.
- Guild. Our people are empowered by a guild of experts who champion the use of open sources, by universal training in open source exploitation, and by embedding open sources in the work of all disciplines.
- Global Input. Global input ensures the broadest range of information with relevant sourcing background is accessible to all consumers.
- Single Architecture. A single open source architecture provides optimum access to information — acquired once and shared with all.

HOUSTON - Hess Corp. said Thursday it has agreed to sell its 15.67% interest in an offshore energy field off the Scottish Coast to Royal Dutch Shell PLC, part of the U.S. oil company's efforts to fund its capital program.
Houston-based Hess is selling its interest in the Schiehallion field, its associated floating, production, storage and offloading vesel, or FPSO, and the West of Shetland pipeline system. The oilfield is operated by BP PLC.
Financial terms of the deal, which is expected to close later this year, weren't disclosed. UBS, however, estimated the stake is worth about $515 million. Hess's production during 2013-2015 won't be impacted, as Schiehallion is scheduled to be off line for replacing the FPSO, UBS said. As result of the of the sale, Hess won't have to spend in the FPSO replacement, saving $640 million in capital expenditure over the next five years, the firm added.
Hess has been increasing spending in recent years in order to fund an ambitious exploration program and the development of shale-gas properties it acquired across the U.S. Hess also has been aiming to reduce its exposure to risky exploration programs following a string of dry holes.
The company's capital expenditure guidance for this year is $6.8 billion, but management said in late April its estimate is likely to raise and that its budget will be funded with cash flow from operations and asset sales.
Hess in April reported that its first-quarter earnings fell 41% without the benefit of a large year-earlier asset sale. However, the company reduced its production outlook for North Dakota's Bakken Shale this year and hinted it could increase its capital expenditure.
Hess's shares were recently 4.15% lower at $45.45. The stock is down nearly 40% in the past year.

Chassis vlo
From GTAModding
The chassis_vlo has been a component of GTA vehicle DFFs since GTA3. It is the LOD for vehicles, with all components recreated as one model, at a much lower resolution (For Example: The wheels on vlo models are square). The vlo version of a vehicle is controlled like all other LOD objects through draw distance.
The vlo version of models can be particularly useful when creating collision data for vehicles. Their low-detail attributes are perfect for the lo-polygon count
requirements for collision.

A little over a month ago, I submitted an application to a graduate program in England to get my Masters in education. I only applied to one school because this is really the only program I want to go to. And I suppose it's not the end of the world if I don't get into grad school right. this. second. It did feel that way the first time I applied to college, what with my parents not giving me much of a choice and all. But this time around, it's my choice to go to grad school if I want and when I want. Anyway, since I applied to just the one school, I've been feeling a lot of pressure and anxiety about whether I'll get in or not. And I know I'm doing this to myself. No one else seems to be as concerned about this as I am. Not even my parents.
I know I'm not alone in my struggle to better my future, though, because a good friend and coworker of mine here in Japan is feeling the same urge I feel to get a move on. We're both in our mid-twenties, we're both pretty smart kids, and we have open minds and a taste for adventure. We've also both discussed how we feel envious of our friends back in the States who are already working jobs with great pay, or they're married with kids, or they're living in New York like she and I both want to someday…. Did I miss something? Did I get off track? How come they already get to be where I want to be right now? Why am I not there?
Is this what they call the quarter life crisis?
I'm nearing 25, I have no money, I work at a company with hardly any in-house mobility, and I get easily frustrated and many times feel like an idiot because I live in a country where I can barely speak the language and most definitely can't read anything. I also know I won't meet my future life partner while I'm here. My parents had already been married for 4 years and were supporting each other by the time they were my age. My brothers were supporting themselves too by 25. What's my problem?
Is it really fair to compare myself to them? Or to anyone?
I told my friend, a few evenings ago while drinking cinzanos and sharing her balcony, that even though it seems like those other people we know are so much further ahead than us, it's not really the case. I tried to justify it by the fact that we are in Japan. Not many of them would be willing to come here and live like this. Because let me tell you: it ain't easy. I mean, yes, we can afford to go out and have fun and experience a million new things, but gaining experience like this takes its toll on you. Frustration, illiteracy, confusion, translation, isolation, cabin fever, body size. Heaven forbid you get sick in Japan. Which is what I am right now. Again. I've never learned so much about home remedies on the internet in my life. I digress.

When you answer, don't be hateful towards any gender.
My personal take is that I believe there are very obvious differences between men and women. I do not believe we are equal. But I do not feel like I'm at a disadvantage to men at all and I feel like equality has been achieved. I see the current feminist movement as a whole, and I simply cannot be a part of what's happening. I consider myself an egalitarian, which means I see all people as equal (people, not gender).
So if you dislike feminism, let me know why. If you are a feminist, tell me what you get from it.
Most Helpful Guy
Men and women are different. Exceptions prove the rule. Being a man and being a woman both has advantages and disadvantages. Water is wet. The sky is blue. Feminists are fighting windmills.11|00|0
Well said. I find feminism to be more full of hate than "equality". I don't see the point of fighting for equal rights when I already have them lol. Silly.
Well, it's easier to make everyone else accountable for your own shortcomings than blaming yourself and take responsibility for it.
Unfortunately they cause more harm with it than good by pretty much socially segregating men and women as well as corrupting the beauty of masculinity and femininity.
I have written a partly related MyTake to it - feel free to read it.

I am a hobby baker and am still jumping at every chance I get to experiment with cakes.
That being said, my sister's birthday is this weekend and I just heard that her boyfriend (whom I have never met) is throwing her a surprise party on Saturday.
Were I not into caking so much, I would probably be glad to not be obligated to attend, but I am missing out on the opportunity to make an awesome cake! ARRGGHHH!
I've been trying to convince myself that pulling a cake together in 2 days would be a PITA, so it's probably better that I haven't been contacted, but... I'm her sister, darnit!!
He's prolly just being a guy and has not even thought of all the people he should invite. Your sister will likely ask him, "Why didn't you invite my sister?" Or she'll call later and ask why you were not there. I have found that most guys don't have a clue...in my experience.
And I still don't get to make a cake! And I know just the one I would do.
I say... CRASH THE PARTY!!!.. show up with the cake and say.. "why I had no idea you were having a party..and here I thought I would surprise you with a cake!!
my family does that to me all the time. I find out about parties or relatives visiting from out of state about two weeks after the event.. thier excuse is.. YOu are always working or baking.. and the point is??? they could atleast ask. so I say again.. CRASH THE PARTY
Putting the whole cake thing aside...
Assuming you and your sister have a good relationship and the boyfriend knows you exist..
Wonder what she's going to say to the boyfriend when he throws a party for her and doesn't even invite her own sister
I agree it's probably a guy thing. My husband recently failed to invite his parents to our sons kindergarten graduation...HELLO...They are his GRANDPARENTS!!! Hubby:"I didn't think about it" Grrrr!
I agree it's probably a guy thing. My husband recently failed to invite his parents to our sons kindergarten graduation...HELLO...They are his GRANDPARENTS!!! Hubby:"I didn't think about it" Grrrr!
That's hilarious.
No, I really wouldn't want to go otherwise. It's far away and I just don't really like her crowd. My brother was invited, though. And he lives even further away than me.
i have a hunch her bf just forgot somehow...it seems unnatural that he would invite your brother and not you....i wouldn't take it to heart
Don't take it too hard, men don't think exactly like us women folk. Cut him some slack-this once.
Yep, it's a total guy thing.
When I had my third baby, our first girl, a lady we Scout with threw me a little baby shower and put MY HUSBAND in charge of inviting people. There were exactly three people there, one of whom was the lady throwing it, another was the lady she asked to make the cake. He didn't invite my mom (when I was actually speaking to her), my favorite aunt, his own sister, my best friend......
Men, sometimes you just gotta laugh.
Hey, not all men are like that! I plan a good party and am now having to plan my own wedding!
Can you call your brother and ask him to ask the boyfriend if his sister is invited as well and did he need your number?
Easiest way to find out if it was an oversight or on purpose. I'm going with oversight, although it seems odd he thought of your brother and not you.
Glad you don't really want to hang out with them!
Hey, if your brother does call and ask about "do you have my sister's number? He can also say "do you have a cake baker because she can do it for free!"
Hope you are close enough with your bro that he will do that for you.
I sent a friend request to the boyfriend on Facebook, figuring he doesn't have my contact info. If he contacts me, awesome. If not, I will just sulk. Thanks for consoling me, guys.

U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross (FL-15) issued the following statement in response to President Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address:
"When it comes to creating an even better America, we must bring people together and not pit our neighbors against one another. As the leader of the free world, the president should unite, not divide.
"We should be striving to raise the status quo, not lower those who are successful. The only way that is realistic is by addressing our problems with market-based solutions that are focused on individuals. Families and small businesses will prosper when we create an environment that allows them to thrive. Unfortunately, the president has limited our choices and ushered in government mandates in many areas of lives -- from government control of health care to onerous business regulations, to what light bulbs we use as families.
"In order to improve our country's economic state, we must empower people and make life easier for hard-working taxpayers across Florida and across the whole country.
"It is my hope that we come together to tackle the biggest issues facing individuals and families across our great nation."

Guys and DollsPosted on: 19 January 2016 by Laurence Green
Laurence Green enjoys a barnstorming new production of Guys and Dolls in London's West End.
One of the most enduring and best-loved musicals of all time, the Prohibition-era classic Guys and Dolls is back in the West End in a scintillating new production directed by Gordon Greenberg that has transferred from the Chichester Festival Theatre to the Savoy Theatre.
Serial wheeler dealer Nathan Detroit is desperate; he needs money for and illegal dice game and he needs it fast. Not to mention a 14-year engagement with nightclub singer Miss Adelaide, whose patience is finally running out. Enter notorious gambler Sky Masterson, a man who can never turn down a bet, and straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown, a doll with a heart of ice. Nathan's wager is that Sky has to romance Sarah, by taking her to Havana for dinner and in return he'll provide a dozen 'sinners' for Sarah's mission/ Surely this is one bet Nathan absolutely can't lose?
This witty and engaging musical is based on the Broadway stories of Damon Runyon and is full of panache, heart and exuberant joy, while the music by Frank Loesser, which includes such memorable numbers as I've Never Been in Love Before, A Bushel and a Peck, Luck Be a Lady and the barnstorming Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat is both exhilarating and timeless. The 26-strong cast are full of energy, gusto and devotion and dance up a storm (the excellent choreography is by Carlos Acosta) in particular in the delirious rumba sequence when the action briefly relocates to Havana.
American director Gordon Greenberg draws marvellous performances from his first rate ensemble. Jamie Parker is perfect as the suave Sky Masterson, a man so addicted to gambling that he even takes bets on how high his temperature will rise when he has flu, yet who proves to have a soft side when it comes to matters of the heart. Siobhan Harrison impresses as the pious Sarah Brown, the Salvationist from the mission hall who finds herself head over heels in love with a sinner. She touchingly captures the character's sense of hurt and betrayal - when Sky reveals to Sarah that he only took her to Cuba as a result of a bet, she replies "Well what other way is there to meet a gambler?" - before the final glow of love and confidence. David Haig, meanwhile, as the battered but never quite beaten professional gambler Nathan Detroit, who runs the 'oldest established, permanent floating crap game in New York' conveys the character's hangdog shiftiness down to a tea.
There is also a scene stealing performance from Sophie Thompson (sister of Emma) as Miss Adelaide, the ditzy cabaret singer and long unwedded fiancée of Nathan Detroit. She is especially good in two of the show's greatest and funniest songs, Adelaide's Lament and Take Back Your Mink, combining gawky vulnerability with a genuinely warm heart.
Furthermore Peter McKintosh's evocative design of 1950s (the show premiered in that era) advertising posters work a treat.
I left the theatre with a spring in my step and a smile on my face and the music echoing in my mind. An out and out triumph!
Guys and Dolls
Plays at The Savoy Theatre until 12 March 2016

Fantastic top!
By Scarlet
from Ontario
During the airing of Silver Icing yoga wear, I picked up several different pieces to try out, but the Jessica jacket was my absolute fave! Love the super comfortable fit; lightweight yet of substance at the same time....definitely not flimsy material! Got the blue and black but would LOVE to have in the emerald as well but that colour was not an option in the Jessica style...PLEASE Silver Icing, bring this back in more colour options!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Nice love the style
By KATHY
from CALGARY
Love this material, however the same as the pants I ordered the sizing is small, I went up a size and could have gone up one more, need to look at the way they size, I am keeping it as well as the pants but if I order from them again I would go up two sizes.

Best Active Directory Management Tools: AdminPak
This is a discussion on the "AdminPak" entry in the Best Active Directory Management Tools SpiceList

Is this basically the same interface you would get if actually doing Active Directory management from your Windows 2003 domain server?
Strange, but while there's plenty on the web about where to find this and download it, it is quite difficult to find instructions on how to run it, particularly since the installer doesn't appear to create any kind of desktop icon or program group.
Apr 21, 2010 at 12:16 UTC
they will all show up in the administrative tools section once you install. You will see things that werne't there like active directory users and computer, AD sites and services, Group Policy management, DHCP, DNS and the like. I use them all the time. If you don't see administrative tools in the start menu. right click on a blank spot on your start bar>properties >start menu tab>customize>advanced scroll all the way to the bottom and radio button by display on the all programs menu and the start menu. Then they will show up on your start menu. otherwise you can get to them through the control panel.
Apr 21, 2010 at 12:25 UTC
Another way to utilize the AdminPak is to create a custom MMC (once installed of course).
- Start
- Run
- File > Add/Remove Snap-in... or Ctrl + M
- Choose which Snap-ins you would like included in the MMC
- Click OK
- File > Save As...
- Open your custom MMC and have fun...

text: Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest High def for your ears In 1980, the first Sony Walkman® became a worldwide phenomenon strapped to the waist of the hippest kids, teens and adults at that time. While its portability delighted music fans, its playback ability left audiophiles desperately seeking more. Over the next three decades, audio quality never reached the superior sound of vinyl. While CDs took music quality a few steps forward over cassette tapes, the digital music era took sound quality a few steps back when their convenience replaced CDs. It wasn't until that digital sound finally moved into a high-resolution format that vinyl had a worthy adversary, and true music lovers had something to rival the original recordings. The only problem—you needed a player that took up as much space as those large round discs to hold and play this hi-res sound. But now, we have Sony's new hi-res digital music players, and they are bringing the Walkman brand we know and love from the '80s back and into the future, with two new players that encapsulate everything we loved about the original, while catapulting them into another stratosphere when it comes to sound quality. Portability, Power, Performance Sony jumps into the future of digital audio with two hi-res Walkman music players that are capable of handling a variety of digital audio formats, ranging from standard CD-ripped tunes, to 192kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio, delivering sound that is up to 6-times the resolution when compared to a standard CD. You can enter this audiophile quality world with Sony's A17 hi-res music player that delivers 64 GB of built-in memory, with a microSD memory card slot so you can store even more music. Battery life is impressive as well, offering up to 50 hours of music playback on a single charge. Or you can upgrade to the flagship ZX2 and double that memory to 128 GB with 60 hours of MP3 playback and up to 33 hours of hi-res audio playback. Whichever you choose, get ready for studio-quality sound that you can take with you anywhere. The flagship ZX2 with 128 GB of memory and a 4.0 inch touch-sensitive screen. To bring you this incredible sound in such a compact design, Sony incorporated two new technologies: the S-Master® HX digital amplifier and the DSEE HX. The S-Master® HX digital amplifier delivers faithful, detailed, wide-frequency audio reproduction. While the DSEE HX restores the high frequency signals stripped by the audio compression process, accurately expanding the audio signal bit-depth, in real time, to hi-resolution sound quality to deliver natural, spacious sound. With anti-reflective LCD displays, these players reveal album artwork, photos, and even videos in rich, clear brilliance, while their interfaces make searching for the right song a breeze. Now you can spend more time listening, and less time fumbling through your music. The A17 with 64 GB of built-in memory. Take them for a spin With the Sony hi-res Walkman, it's like going from a standard definition TV to ultra-high definition, and Magnolia is primed to be the perfect place to experience it. Beyond your ability to try out these hi-res audio players right in our stores, our selection of premium headphones allows you to experience this amazing audio to its full potential. The future of audio is here, it's hi-res and it fits in your pocket. We're ready, are you?

I want to make a cake that has 6", 9" & 12" tiers with a spacer between the 9" & 12" to accomodate flowers. My guess is that somewhere around a 3" spacer would look visually pleasing (agree or disagree?). How do most of you secure the flowers in and around the spacer so that you don't see what's underneath? Do you attach them to the styrofoam? Do you assemble the entire cake first and add the flowers last? Do you attach to the styro and then assemble the rest of the cake?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I just completed a cake yesterday that had the foam spacers and we covered them with flowers. What kind of flowers are you using? ex. silk, icing, etc..... We used silk flowers, it's what the bride wanted, and the wire just stuck right into the foam, no problem. They were also big enough, they covered all of the foam completely.
I'd use the 6" hidden pillars. That would give you about 2-3" between the tiers to lay flowers.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Justin Edwards and Alasdair Fraser scored 17 points apiece to lead Maine over Brown 71-58 on Friday for the Black Bears' third consecutive win.
Raheem Singleton added 11 points and Gerald McLemore 10 for Maine (6-4), which came alive in the second half to seal the victory.
Brown led 30-29 at the break, but Edwards' three-point play early in the second half helped spark a 19-7 Maine run over a 7 1/2 minute span for a lead that would stick.
Maine outscored Brown 42-28 in the second half to clinch the comeback.
Mike Allison had a game-high 10 rebounds for Maine, which outrebounded Brown 42-30. Singleton hit 3 of 4 from beyond the arc, as Maine outshot Brown 50 percent (6 of 12) to 23.1 percent (3 of 13) from long range.
Matt Sullivan scored 15 points to lead Brown (5-8), which has lost four of its last five.

Frequently asked questions
What are implants?
Implants are where your dentist fixes a titanium screw into the jawbone itself to secure bridges or build replacement teeth. Implants are like an artificial tooth root, and there are two types: one we call endosteal (in the bone) and then subperiosteal (on the bone). Endosteal implants are the most commonly used.
Do implants hurt?
This procedure is done under local anaesthetic. You may feel some soreness after the surgery for a few days, but no pain is felt during the procedure.
How do I clean them?
You should clean your implants the same way you would clean your natural teeth. The dentist will show you how to clean around the implant thoroughly and you may need to see your hygienist regularly to maintain the implants.
Are they removable?
Implants can only be removed by the dentist, but if you have dentures, they may be removed for cleaning.
How much do implants cost?
Our prices are unbeatable for a comparable implant and expertise of our surgeons. We offer three types of implants starting from £14.95 per month or £940 for a complete single implant (9.9% APR over 60 months with a 25% deposit). Our initial implant consultation is free (with a refundable £25 booking fee) there is no obligation to continue your treatment with us.
What's included in the price?
Our implant price is for a complete implant system.
- That's the implant, abutment and crown.
- We only use leading implant components to make sure that your implant can withstand a lifetime of use.
- You may require or want additional treatments, which will be discussed with you at the initial consultation stage.
- These treatments do have additional fees, however the cost can be substantially reduced or spread out by subscribing to our membership and payment plans.
Do you offer interest-free monthly payment plans?
We are happy to offer our patients a one year payment plan at 0% APR. And for longer payment options, we can offer patients 7.9% APR over 36 months and 9.9% APR over 60 months monthly payment terms.
Why do we need to replace missing teeth?
Some people choose to replace missing teeth for cosmetic reasons, others because it makes it easier to eat and drink, or even speak more clearly. The number one reason is that they look and feel like natural teeth.
Are implants dangerous to health?
No. You look after implants the same way as you do natural teeth, and this means regular brushing, flossing and routine visits to your dentist and hygienists to get your teeth checked. Taking care of all your teeth minimises the risk of plaque build up and infection.
Can anyone have Implants?
Being able to have implants is primarily reliant on the condition of the bone in your jaw. It needs to be strong – and you need to have enough of it – so it can take the titanium screw. Part of your implant consultation may include a CT scan which will check the bone density around your jaw.
What are the known complications?
Like any surgery, there are some health risks to consider. Please remember these problems are rare, they are usually minor and easily treated. We use 3D Implant planning for improved placement and certainty of results, but potential complications are infection (at the implant site), injury or damage to surrounding teeth, nerve damage and sinus problems.
How long does the procedure take?
Your implantologist will be able to give you a timetable for your treatment. Because your bone has to fuse to the new implant before a bridge or new tooth can be placed on it, you will have a temporary tooth, bridge or denture fitted as part of the procedure. Our implants are guaranteed from 10 years to a lifetime, depending on which implant type you choose.
What should I expect during surgery?
You will be under a local anaesthetic for your procedure and will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure itself. We also offer sedation if you would prefer to be almost asleep whilst your implant is fitted.
