Forever Pomesteen Power. The Power of Antioxidants
Are you tired of taking to many tables daily? If your answer is yes, you should consider taking Forever Pomesteen Power!
Buy Forever Pomesteen Power
There's no disputing the fact that antioxidants are extremely vital to our health and well being. There is, however, much discussion today among nutritionists as to which fruit is the most powerful antioxidant, or which contains the most Xanthones or has the highest ORAC value rating. Forever Pomesteen Power has them all with a proprietary blend of fruit juices and extracts, including Pomegranate, Pear, Mangosteen, Raspberry, Blackberry, Blueberry and Grape Seed.
ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is an indicator of how well an antioxidant inhibits free radical damage. The ORAC value of fruits can vary greatly, even when testing the same fruit at different times after harvesting. What is important to know is that all of the ingredients of Forever Pomesteen Power are near the top of the list in ORAC value, especially Pomegranate and Mangosteen fruit.
Pomegranate juice has more polyphenol antioxidants than red wine, green tea, cranberry juice and orange juice. In addition, it is a good source of Vitamins A, C, E and the mineral Iron.
Mangosteen is a popular fruit in Asia. Its exquisite taste prompted Queen Victoria to declare it her favorite fruit, henceforth it has been referred to as the "Queen of Fruits!" Its ORAC value is very high, and it is rich in beneficial Xanthones. Xanthones are a family of naturally occurring nutritional compounds in fruits that are super-powerful antioxidants.
Experience the incredible power of antioxidants from Pomegranate, Mangosteen, and other exotic fruits with Forever Pomesteen Power!
•Super Antioxidant
•Unique blend of fruit juices and extracts
•Exotic flavor that everyone loves

What To Do with 3 Domains
August 2, 2006
I heard about your site from a marketing friend of mine and I have started
to read over a few of your past postings. I have found some great
information on 301 redirects, but nothing which exactly answers my two
questions. Can you please give me further advice on the two questions below?
- My company currently has one main site with three URLs. The URLs currently
connect to the same site and it was suggested to us by an SEO consultant to
choose one of the URLs as the domain for our main site and then just
301-redirect the other two URLs to the main site.
What are the pros and cons to this?
- If we move forward with the 301 redirects we are not sure as to how to
choose what main URL to use. One of the URLs has not really been picked up
by search engines at all, so it's not really a concern for us; however, we
are having problems deciding between the other two URLs. One has been picked
up by Google and the other has been picked up by both Yahoo and MSN. Which
do we go with as our main URL, from an SEO point of view?
Thanks in advance for your help!
++Jill's Response++
Hi Laurie,
If you're not having any problems with the current setup, then my suggestion
would be to leave well enough alone. If you are having problems, then I
would choose to redirect to the one that makes the most sense for your
business to have as its main domain name. If they're all equally good for
business purposes, then I would choose to redirect to the one that Google
has picked up, since most search engine traffic still comes from Google
these days.
We have an entire forum category devoted to redirects and other technical
Hope this helps!

Savers are losing millions of pounds of interest each year by not shopping around for the best rates, according to recent NOP research. The survey of 1001 adults - commissioned by the Halifax - revealed the true nature of British savers: they deposit the cash and forget about it.
Nearly 75 per cent of savers have no idea what rate of interest they are being paid on some or all of their savings - let alone actively seeking the best rates. Only 40 per cent of those polled have checked their account in the past year. Small wonder that the banks believe they can get away with daylight robbery by paying rock-bottom interest rates.
Savers have more reason than ever to shop around. This week the Bank of England held interest rates at 4 per cent for the sixth month - more bad news for savers who have seen the returns paid on their savings account plummet over the past year.
Moneyfacts, the financial analyst, says average savings rates are now at the lowest level since records began in the 19th century!
But while the Bank has kept the base rate on hold the high street banks have been chipping away at savings rates. And consumers seem to be completely blind to it.
Several institutions, including Egg, Abbey National, Scottish Widows, Bristol & West and Smile have all reduced their savings rates while the base rate has stayed the same.
There are still decent offers out there but savers have to be prepared to look for them. If you do not have a sentimental attachment to bricks and mortar you could find cyberspace a more rewarding home for your money.
The average interest rate on a passbook account is 0.75 per cent but compare that with the average interest rate on an internet account which stands at 4.1 per cent.
If you do not have access to the internet it is worth while checking whether your bank or building society offers internet access points for customer use in their branches. Halifax, for example, has 650 in branches dotted about the country.
Although reticent about appearing to endorse any one savings provider over another, the Consumers' Association says that it welcomes any initiative that encourages consumers to check that they are getting the best deal.
And in a low interest rate environment UK savers should be looking to make the most of the meagre rates available.
"This is an historically low interest rate environment so it is particularly important to look at how your account is fairing. But for the sake of a few minutes many people could earn themselves hundreds of pounds more a year," says Nigel Payne, Halifax's head of savings.
According to the Halifax a saver with £5,000 in a low-paying passbook account could gain over £200 a year in extra interest simply by moving the money to a better account.
Payne estimates that there are about 20m savers are missing out on millions of pounds by keeping money in the worst-paying accounts in the UK. He says this could be rectified by walking into your bank and asking: "Can you make my savings earn more?"
Thousands of savers have money in obsolete accounts which have been superseded by more competitive products. Most banks and building societies have a raft of different savings products; those that have been running the longest tend to pay the lowest rates.
Under the Banking Code banks and building societies must inform customers in obsolete accounts of any better deals offered by the savings provider.
Aside from internet accounts, savers should also check the rates on cash Isas as they offer tax free growth. The average interest rate on a mini-cash Isa is about 3.8 per cent. The average rate on a card-based account is 2.5 per cent.
Instant access accounts, however, offer some of the worst rates going, as the table shows. Scottish Widows Bank offers a no-notice account with an interest rate of 4.05 per cent, but it is an introductory rate and only available for six months, after which it reverts to 3.55 per cent.
Anna Bowes of Chase de Vere warns savers to beware of bonus rates and introductory "guarantees". "Often these are only given for a very short period. This can make an account look very competitive but once the introductory period is over, that rates paid are far more ordinary and in some cases may even lag behind competitors," she says.
She adds there is nothing wrong in taking this sweetner, just remember to keep an eye on the rate once the introductory period is over.
"Unlike mortgage and credit cards, there is generally no penalty to switch, provided it is not a notice account. Yet savers seem far more reluctant to switch than borrowers when it comes to finding the right deal. We would urge more consumer to become rate tarts - it can only encourage banks to pay better savings rates," she says.

well, i felt like going ahead with my own madness interactive series
well, i felt like going ahead with my own madness interactive series
Lol, looks better than mine.
Yell at the wall and remove that stupid face.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand here come the even shittier rip-offs
Bye-bye mspaint section
as this is a completely different series, using completely different sprites, having a completely different story, and mechanics modified from a popular table top game, using a game manual the i spent hours making...
and as madness was created by krinkles, any other madness themed creations would be a "rip off" when taken into a critical eye, and there have been a huge number of amazing works done using madness, so please, before you start flinging the criticism, check your facts.
hey look, its an update
It's funny how you're not going off of 'interactive' nobody told you to have him do that. This is already going to be bad if you don't stick to the interactive.
And for future reference, as to why I didn't follow the request to the letter,
1) the charachter is severly hung over, I thought I spelled it out with the beer cans and the text, but apparently not, and he is in no state to be punching walls.
2) your request was sortov stupid
Grab a rum bottle and smash it to make a knife.
after you make a knife, cut the skin on your arm off to make a kite and get the fuck out of there.
on second thought, eat the pain pills.
I've made the requests, and after I get off this damn bus il update it
Why would you randomly eat your pain pills?
as to cis.joshb's question of why, it's to cure the hangover, and also, and if you notice the picture, consumeable items will have a number of "doses" basically, the number of times you can use it before it runs out, as to the effects of painkillers, they cure hangovers, and downgrade one point of damage
also, little bit of extra information, one of the best cures for hangovers is energy drinks and painkillers... though your liver would hate you
I'm sad because the Madness thread has attracted a collosal amount of retards to the MS paint boards, no offense to Rovar - the interactive itself is great, it's just attracting the wrong crowd.
Try to dismantle the table to use the top side for a shield.
If you can't, then try to quietly walk towards the noise, but try not to be noticed.
Look out the window.
guys, stop hating. this actually looks pretty good. It has a awesome layout, good art, and a good beginning. and if you will stop for a moment and realize that YOU HAVENT MADE ANY LOGICAL POSTS you will see why he hasn't been updating to the letter.
ok I agree with Smooth Jazz, look out the window to see if you can see what is going on.
and @ragamuffin, i do hope your not calling me a retard, because that would be rude
I'm lovin' it!
I love it.
I think. It has. Potential. :3
i have about 3 completely different stories in mind depending on how the next choice pans out, so even i'm not shure where exacly it'll go :)
i dont get why people keep stealing this from krinkels
is it that hard to do something original? idk what people expect to come from ripping off somebody elses style and even brand name and make their own stuff out of it
whats the point? nothing madness related is every original or yours in any way, and it can't feel good knowing that but using his style and name anyway.
and as to anything madness being unoriginal, madness is a style, yes it was made by krinkles, but then again, anime is also a style, as is stick animation, and there has been alot done with them...
now, this would be stealing if you just ripped all krinkles sprites right out without trying, went and used his charachter, his story and called it my own... i try to use as little of his stuff as i can.
and as to why i am using madness, honestly, if i could draw better, i wouldnt use madness...
what i am trying to do here is have something like a table top campaign, but as i cannot see the players to get the point across, a have to use images, and as i cant draw (i would love to, i just cant) i use madness...
happy with the explanation?
Why did you use two right hands when he was lying down?
Here's how you're supposed to do it:
The thing about madness is, Krinkels sort of gave us a blank slate. Look at every fan animation ever made, all of them are different in some particular way. Mine, isn't to rip off Krinkels, it's a fan interactive dedicated to his work. He put it on his site, probably meaning that he liked it, and didn't think it was a rip off.
You can use someone elses idea, and make it into something different, in your own creative way. Krinkels created these characters, that opened up hundreds and thousands of ideas. If you make something not based off anything from scratch, well.. You can probably expect people to make a fan-whatever to it because they liked it. I mean, I can draw pretty well. I could have easily made my own interactive totally by drawing it, from scratch, with the same storyline as my interactive. But I used Madness characters because I enjoyed Krinkels work, not because I wanted to take and rip off his stuff.
Madness is an art style. The picture itself is yours.
Quick! Bust out the window and save him!
And besides even if you rip of some art style, when it's this old it's almost a classic, so it's not that bad when you use it.
Seriously Tomtyke I appreciate your effort, keep up the good work!
Oh sorry, I don't want to derail.
Try to help the soldier, if there is a quick path to him. Maybe he'll help you then as a thank you for helping him.
Go through the door to the left, holding your weapon steadily while checkin' doe's corna's.
gee guys, thanks for the support! :D (srsly, im no kidding)
anyway, heres the update, sorry it was so late, i was on the road with no internet for 15 hours straight...
Go and stab the attacker. Once he's dead, check the guard to make sure he's okay. Then, if he's not okay, take his gun.
Looks as if the soldier let go of his gun. Dive for it and shoot the zombie in between the eyes.
Edit: How do you make these interactives? If you actually use MS paint then can you give me the spritesheet you use (meant towards rovar) ?
The sprite sheet I use is not opened to public, sorry. :/
Only some things are public, such as character bases and my weapons only.

Stayed at the Lion hotel which is about a 10-15 minute walk to the slopes/town. A free shuttle is provide by the hotel. The hotel and staff are lovely. The food was always varied and hot. My daughter and I are vegetarians and in only two nights were we disappointed with the choice - but we heaped up on pudding so didn't go hungry. Am lucky enough to be going back in 2018.

Sent on 15 January 2017I wonder if the poor review is really about the Winslow Elegance. We have been going for years. It does not serve food and never has done. However, the spacious accommodation is for self-catering. We have always found it to be clean and we have always found that the reception staff can not do enough for you. We are looking forward to our next visit in February, 2017, Bring it on!!

Easy blues for the most part, not loads for the advanced skier but great for beginners and families. I had more fun here than Chamonix last year at the same time. Bottom line ...manage your expectations... it is more than value for money but don't expect Whistler.

Under the theme of FREE, Art in Odd Places (AiOP) celebrated their 10th year engaging with works that celebrated ideas of openness, autonomy, and independence. As we prepare for AiOP 2015: RECALL and our exciting 11th year, we're taking time to look back at some of the works that embodied last year's theme and see what the artists learned by producing their pieces, and how working on 14th Street impacted their practices.
Can you describe your contribution to AiOP: FREE?
project title
The Work Intern (Meredith Degyansky), AiOP 2014 FREE!
project description
My project, timebanks/14th, involved working with six different businesses on 14th street: a halal cart, a bodega, a hair salon, a stand at the greenmarket, a vintage store, and a tailor shop. Each shift was four hours long so I was hopping from one job to the next leaving me little down time during the course of the festival. In exchange for my labor, I received "monies" (a currency that I created based on time) that I could then use to buy goods and services at those businesses. Weeks after the project ended I used monies to buy yogurt/produce from the greenmarket, get a haircut from the salon, and buy a pack of gum from the bodega. I still have to cash in on a tailor job.
Hair Salon, photo courtesy of the artist.
Working in public space, one is often forced to deal with the unexpected. What surprising turns did your work take during AiOP: FREE?
timebanks/14th began as a conceptual project about labor and wage. But after working my first shift of the festival at the bodega, it quickly became about something else. It turned into a project about the time you spend with people and the relationships that build over that time. When you analyze the day-to-day of jobs, most people actually have a fair amount of down time while "working". Because I was slated to spend four hours at these specific jobs often times I was learning the life history of the owner or worker I was working with as we waited for customers to come in. I didn't realize I would feel so connected to everyone and I think they were connected to me too. When I ended my shift with Rosa at the hair salon, she gave me a hug and said, "I'm really going to miss you." The conversations I had with Joe, Rosa, Mustafa, Fariha, Jess, and Ed still vividly reappear in my head.
How has the experience of making work for AiOP changed or influenced your practice? Has it added any elements or led to any changes in your method, technique, or medium?
Performing this project made me think much more about time as art, labor as art, and conversations as art. It has made me increasingly more confused by temporary projects and the ethics around engaging people in your projects that are only fleeting. I've thought about reiterating this project annually in order to establish a tradition, carry on the relationship, and see what happens over time. While this project in itself was fulfilling for me during the festival, there was a part of me that felt critical of myself for not working with these people on a longer term basis. I was intending to conceptually represent a world where we could work as "jacks of all trades" helping each other in our communities and creating a local currency that circulates among our communities on a smaller scale where inflation and greed can't change the value of it. But is it ok to represent this temporarily when working with people that actually are working at these businesses as their livelihoods? Would it even be sustainable for me to continue working in this way and still meet my financial needs and time/passion/knowledge needs? The whole project basically made me much more neurotic about deciding to work in communities. And this is a good thing.
Bodega, photo courtesy of the artist.
Fourteenth street is comprised of many different "publics." There are the shoppers at Union Square, the commuters, the residents, the shop owners and merchants… How did your work interact with these publics, and what were the outcomes?
I reckon I already touched on this but the only public I interacted with were the business owners that I worked with. There was some interaction with the customers that came into the businesses but the interaction with them was small and uninteresting. This wasn't really a piece that asked for an "audience" so people coming to the festival couldn't "watch" me work because that would be zoo-like and bizarre. It'd make a spectacle out of work and daily life just because I was there and would perhaps create some icky power plays between artist and subject. I see timebanks/14th as a small underground project that only I knew about and only the business owners knew about where we were all serving as artists and audiences, and maybe defining those roles didn't even matter anymore. It was just about an experience.
What advice do you have for artists who are making their first foray into working in the public realm?
Understand what your role is in the public and who your audience is. Ask yourself why you are doing something, why anyone should care about it, and how much agency you are allowing the public. Also, don't be afraid to take a risk because that's how we learn!

Metro police are working to make Tennessee Titans home games (at least the traffic) less of a headache for fans trying to get to the game and commuters trying to get home from work Monday.
Kickoff for the sold-out game against the Arizona Cardinals is at 7 p.m., but fans will begin flooding the areas surrounding LP Field much, much earlier.
Downtown workers and other motorists making the commute home Monday will get to their destinations quicker by avoiding the congestion around LP Field.
For those parking downtown and making the trek across the river, the Woodland Street Bridge will close to regular vehicular traffic at 4:30 p.m. Pedestrians and shuttle buses may use it after 4:30.
The Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge (Gateway Bridge), which connects East Nashville to Fourth Avenue North, will be open to eastbound and westbound traffic until moments before the conclusion of each game this season. However, there will be no access to the LP Field campus to eastbound traffic coming across the bridge from the downtown area in the two-hour period before each game (vehicles coming across the bridge will not be allowed to turn left into LP Field).
At the conclusion of each game this year, all lanes of the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge will be open to westbound traffic only, which should more quickly disperse congestion around LP Field.
Fans traveling downtown for the game and who normally park in state employee lots on game days will not have access to those lots Monday until 5 p.m., when they are vacated by state workers.
Fans parking north of Broadway, and those who use state parking lots, can safely walk across the Woodland Street Bridge from downtown to LP Field.
For fans parking along and south of Broadway, the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge will provide safe and easy access to the stadium.
Gates to LP Field open at 5 p.m. Monday but only persons with parking passes will be allowed to park on the stadium campus.
InShuttle will provide park and ride bus service for this game from the state parking lots at Fourth Avenue North & Harrison Street, from 10thCircle North downtown (off Charlotte across from TSU's downtown campus), and from Greer Stadium beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Can Publishers Fight Amazon?
David Streitfeld, New York Times
AP Photo
SAN FRANCISCO — Amazon prides itself on unraveling the established order. This fall, signs of Amazon-inspired disruption are everywhere.
There is the slow-motion crackup of electronics showroom Best Buy. There is Amazon's rumored entry into the wine business, which is already agitating competitors. And there is the merger of Random House and Penguin, an effort to create a mega-publisher sufficiently hefty to negotiate with the retailer on equal terms.

Hey gent's!
I'm flying in from Colorado for the Safari and wanted a general idea of the tourney times and rounds involved. I would assume Saturday would be 2 rounds, is Sunday going to be two rounds (for intermediate)? I have to plan the flight thing properly in order to finish out and keep my job......if I want to.
Look forward to playing with a new crew!

Well, my original plan was to leave one job, and take some time off before starting the new job; however, due to a mix-up on the separation paperwork - no, full disclosure - it's due to my having written in the wrong date - the State of California now considers me unemployed, which is not cool at all, health care-wise (for instance), so ::sigh:: wish me luck today as I go hammer contritely knock on a few doors.

text: I have grown many New Zeland Flax from seed. It so easy to do - Collecting the seed pods once dry and just starting to split; simply sprinkle these onto damp potting compost they will grow in the warmth of a green house or a warm window shelf. The joy of growing them on means you always have replacement plants in a pot somewhere around your garden and usually have many plants to give to family and friends. A good feed of comfrey in spring also helps with growth (also grow your own to produce good quality plant food for next to nothing).

The forgotten Rohingya
In 1991, a second push, known as Operation Pyi Thaya or Operation Clean and Beautiful Nation, was launched with the same purpose, resulting in further violence and another massive flow of 200,000 Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh.
Non-governmental organisations from Europe and North America estimate that 300,000 Rohingya refugees remain in Bangladesh, with only 35,000 residing in registered refugee camps and receiving some sort of assistance from NGOs.
Acknowledging the Rohingya
Those remaining, more than 250,000, are in a desperate situation without food and medical assistance, largely left to slowly starve to death. The December 2011 refugee repatriation agreement reached between Myanmar President Thein Sein and Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will exclude the Rohingya, due to their lack of Myanmar citizenship, one of the conditions for repatriation for the expected 2,500 returning refugees.
The Rohingya predicament underlines a paradox for the world's great faiths, straddling the divide between Islamic Asia and Buddhist Asia. Each emphasises compassion and kindness and yet, we see little evidence of this in their dealings with the Rohingya people.
As part of this current study on the relationship between centre and periphery in the Muslim world, we recently interviewed Dr Wakar Uddin, Chairman of The Burmese Rohingya Association of North America (BRANA). A gentle and learned man, he is an energetic ambassador for his Rohingya people with a firm grasp of regional history. All the Rohingya want is the reinstatement of their citizenship in their own land, as revoked by the former dictator General Ne Win, and the dignity, human rights and opportunities that come with it.
Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy have a unique opportunity to reach out to the Rohingya people and include them in the new democratic process. The NLD should work with the central government to expand the role of all ethnic minorities as full Myanma citizens.
By acknowledging their rights, the government will bestow upon the Rohingya the dignity and the responsibilities of citizenship and present opportunities for mutual cultural understanding and the repatriation of the thousands of refugees existing in purgatory, separated from their homes and families. Great strides have recently been made by the Myanmar government towards the creation of an open and democratic political system and an end to ethnic violence, yet this is only the beginning.
With the recognition of the Rohingya as Myanma citizens, Suu Kyi will honour the memory of her father, Aung San, as he, before his untimely and tragic death, also reached out to ethnic minorities to participate in an independent Myanmar. Only then can a democratic and modern Myanmar be legitimate and successful in the eyes of its own people.
But the first step is to acknowledge the Rohingya exist.

It was just three short weeks ago that the Michigan State Spartans were searching for a starting quarterback. Senior quarterback Andrew Maxwell was struggling through the first couple of weeks and his starting spot that he had held for over a year was in question. It was the first time in over a season that Maxwell's job was in question. Enter, Connor Cook.
The sophomore quarterback has come in and played phenomenal as the team's starting quarterback for the past four games. In his first start, Cook took down Youngstown State with the best quarterback performance of the young season with 202 yards and four touchdowns. He showed flashes of brilliance, but took a step back in week four against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, passing for just 135 yards and a touchdown while completing only 50 percent of his passes.
However, he knew he needed to step his game up as he was taken out in week four against the Fighting Irish in the final drive out the game because of his struggles. Cook did just that against the Iowa Hawkeyes, proving that he can be the quarterback of the future that Mark Dantonio and the Spartans were desperately searching for. He passed for a career-high 277 yards and two touchdowns in a huge road win that led to the Spartans' fourth win of the year.
The next game? Well, how about following up a career-game with yet another solid performance. Cook completed 71 percent of his passes against the Indiana Hoosiers for 235 yards and two more scores.
On the season, Cook has passed for 923 yards and nine touchdowns with just two interceptions for a team that otherwise looked dead in the water after a Notre Dame loss and no offense to begin the season.
It's not just Cook's passing that has sparked this offense, it's his leadership. He has taken control of this team and the other players seem to be feeding off his confidence. The receivers are starting to catch passes, running backs are running the ball better and younger guys are stepping up to contribute to the Spartans' success at 5-1.
Cook will face his biggest test of the season in three weeks when the Michigan Wolverines come to town. Michigan State will look to be 7-1 by that time and with an eighth win, the Spartans could be heavy favorites to win the Big Ten Legends Division title. The following weeks, the Spartans will be traveling to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Northwestern Wildcats in back-to-back games, but finishing the season with the Minnesota Golden Gophers should be nice.
This team could finish the regular season with 10 wins and they can thank the solid play of Connor Cook for that.

Jorge Yances
My paintings are like poems. Each work invites the viewer to make up his or her own story and allows them to see beyond the obvious into a world of endless possibilities.
Award winning artist Jorge A. Yances was born in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, and educated in the United States. He was labeled a creative prodigy by art aficionados at a very early age. During his teenage years he fine-tuned his creative expression using a variety of techniques and finishes.
Yances studied under several well-known Nashville artists during the early years of his career. During that time he expanded his artistic repertoire to include woodcarving and Plexiglas etchings.
In 1974, Yances was given the medal of bronze by the Grumbacher Company, and around the same time he became the artist in residence at the Cruciana and Rosler Gallery in Orlando, Florida. Since then, Yances work has been on display and in demand throughout the United States, South America and Asia.
Yances has the unique ability to blend physical reality with what some people call fantasy, and the result is a vision of worlds that runs parallel to this one. These worlds meet in different settings in his meticulous work.
The marriage of mind over matter gives the viewer the opportunity to sense and feel more than one reality as they intermingle and come to life on the canvas. That ability has earned Yances a premier position in the Magical Realism Movement. Jorge has the uncanny ability to immerse objective thought into his unique subjective world. In that world the walls of one reality blend into the framework of other universes.
Artist Statement
Jorge A. Yances' work is a fusion of reality and fantasy and these two essential elements allow him to be placed in the Magic Realism movement. One can see in Yances' art beyond the tangible world and as spectators he take us into one fantastic place that walks hand in hand with reality and conveys the whole essence of life. Each of his pieces transports the viewer to a magic world; and it is during this trip that one gets convinced that life is only an enchanting line between facts and visions and that anyone can transcend its boundaries.
Magical Realism : A Nashville Perspective
Embedded in the artistic genius of Jorge Yances is his ability to awaken audiences to the world around them and to the deeper meanings of familiar places. His new collection entices viewers to transcend multiple layers of reality and to see Nashville with new eyes.
Not content with traditional artistic representations of the city's landmarks and iconic buildings, Yances, the maestro of Realismo Mágico, awakens and releases the phantom spirits who created the rhythms and ideas which define our city. The old brick walls lining Broadway and interspersed with modern structures along Nashville's numbered avenues, the warehouses seen from the bridges, and the heavy metal rear doors nestled along narrow back allies, find expression when unleashed by his brush. These buildings live, crossing the enchanting line that separates the brick and mortar and neon from the true soul of the city.

Cartagena Memories
The Architecture
Welcome to the remembered world of Jorge Yances- described in Nashville Arts Magazine as the imperceptible interplay between past & present, reality and fantasy; a powerful visual mirroring of the Latin literary tradition of Realismo Mágico.
Discovering more than mere nostalgia for the artist's native city (Cartagena, Colombia), the viewer catches glimpses of the narrative, a silent procession of centuries-old stories and people embedded into the architecture, seemingly undetected by modern Cartagena characters. The effect is playful and tender, and disturbing. "This is more than paint on a canvas," Yances says. "It is the visual urging to detect the power of the stories that surround us."

The Walls
Then, just as the viewer embraces Yances' altered sense of place, the artist again startles the senses. Like the film director whose expansive camera work slowly moves the audience closer and closer to capture subtleties, Yances moves the viewer into direct encounters with the complexity of the walls.
While the ghostly images of people remain scattered, these vibrant and textured walls reveal multiple layers of reality – washings of paint, one over the other, combined in an abstract weather-hardened collection of angry graffiti, postings melted by time into the surface or ripped away, and always, the draped and curled or hanging wires, symbolizing the reality of modern life and the efforts of neighbors to tap into the electricity of others. Anchored at one end, they hang sadly or flail wildly in the wind. Then, as the explosion of colors and textures and pleasure in abstraction woos the senses, Yances changes the narrative again, forcing the viewer inside the structure itself.

Inside the Structure
Inside, the walls, the windows, even the hanging wires appear as "old friends" on this visual narrative. But the echoes of the past emerge as a whole or hang in midair as if caught between the wall of the past and the reality of the room. Always presented in the form of a woman, the viewer encounters the beauty, power, sensuality, and suffering embedded in the rooms, the walls, and massive structures of Cartagena. Each artistic step in the journey changes and expands the narrative, and by moving deeper and deeper into the collective consciousness of the city, the viewer brings a very personal translation to the narrative.

Magic Realism
By: Ana Isabel Rueda-Garcia, Ph. D.
The internal transformation that one experiences when laying eyes for the first time on the work of artist Jorge A. Yances is the same that literature enthusiasts feel when they read those writers belonging to the literary movement known as "Magical Realism" such as Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Isabel Allende among others.
Even though, "Magic Realism" is known today more in reference to literature than in visual arts, the term was initially used by a sur-realistic school of German artist around the early 1920's. It was not until the end of the mid 1940's that the expression was introduced as a literary movement in Latin America.
The definition of "Magic Realism" is apparent in the works created by Jorge A. Yances. In the majority of his art one can find each one of the elements that literary critics indicate are essential to the definition of the term; the combination of reality and fantasy, the transformation of a real vision into an unreal one, and the deformation of the time and space.
Reality and fantasy represent the game that Yances plays on canvas in his collections entitled 'Illusions' and 'Cartagena Memories'. The juxtaposition of scenes extremely real from the streets of such a majestic Colombian city and the fantastic images emerging on the walls of houses that witnessed historical events and that are still standing and telling a story is a clear example of the use of the first element necessary to understand the essence of "Magic Realism". This experience exists each time one encounters a Yances painting. It feels like in a blink of an eye one walks along the natural spaces while absorbing the situations hidden in between colors and textures to present a collective story captured in time and space.
The transformation of real visions into unreal ones is like inwardly exploring a dream of reality; even though what we really want is to make the dream the reality. The final result is a transmigration of the soul in which the objective reality is the opposite of what we believe and desire. This is the experience one has when viewing Yances' work.
There is also a preoccupation with issues relevant to time and space, persistent in the 'Illusions' and 'Cartagena Memories' collections. It seems there is a desire to change time and space to promote the destruction of reality, in a trip without time and space without boundaries to allow movement in the infinite. Yances does not project boundaries, on either space or time, thus, reflecting another element of "Magic Realism", the transformation of time and space.
To observe any and all of Jorge Yances' works of art is to transport the viewers in time and space into a world created within an imaginary reality and to try to unravel it, but most of all, it is to discover the mysterious nature of things and the story painted by all and everyone during this vacation trip through life.

Much of my knowledge of electronics that I have used in my projects started out from my early days as a radio amateur. Up until the last three years I have been fairly inactive largely due to the fact that I was living overseas and frequently moving around during my medical training.
I first became interested in amateur radio when I was at school. I owe much of this to John Weston, G3LYW, who used to teach us radio and electronics on a voluntary basis. I'm still in touch with John and have a regular "sked" with him on 160m every week. I took the Radio Amateurs Exam (RAE) as it was then when I was 16 years old and obtained my Class A licence three years later.
Using a home-brew valve rig and a Trio RS1000 receiver I was soon on the air and spent many an evening at University talking to people around the world on CW (morse code).
During the '90s and early '00s I was living in South Africa and although licensed as ZS6BLU I never really got back on the air. I decided to buy a second hand transceiver about 3 years ago as and having put up a simple endfed antenna I am now once again having more and more QSO's. I have had to get my CW up to speed as it has become distinctly rusty over the years.
Here's a picture of the shack as it is at the moment. The rig is an Icom 720A with a Mac 200 ATU.
I hope to include a couple of my ham-radio projects in this section and the first one up will be a new Antenna Tuning Unit.

Broadway Bank plans to expand into Austin
Updated 7:41 pm, Monday, September 10, 2012
San Antonio's Broadway Bank on Monday announced plans to expand in the Austin market.
Broadway, with $2.6 billion in assets, plans to invest $20 million opening four to six branches there over the next five years.
The bank, the third-largest based in San Antonio, already operates one branch in Travis County. The Bee Cave branch, west of Austin, had about $9.8 million in deposits as of June 30, 2011, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
"It's been our long-term strategy to develop up the I-35 corridor," Broadway President Shaun Kennedy said. "This is a natural progression of our long-term strategy to move into that marketplace."
Broadway has been working its way north since 2005, when it acquired Balcones Bank and its branches in San Marcos, Kyle, Buda and Wimberley. It opened a branch in New Braunfels in 2007. Two years later, it opened a branch each in Dripping Springs and Bee Cave.
The bank's expansion in Austin makes sense, said Curtis Carpenter, managing director of Sheshunoff & Co. Investment Banking in Austin. He follows the banking industry.
"Austin is a growing market, and there are not a lot of markets across the country that can boast that right now," Carpenter said. "Plus, there's a lot of synergies ... between San Antonio and Austin. It's a logical extension of their current franchise."
Broadway is opening a loan production office in Austin while its Austin headquarters are completed.
The 5,700-square-foot Austin headquarters will be in the four-story Midtown Medical Towers at West 38th Street and Lamar Boulevard. The office, set to open in April, will employ about 20 people. Overall, Broadway expects to have 50 employees in Austin.
Harvey P. Hartenstine, a 20-year Broadway official, has been appointed president of the bank's Austin region.
National banks Wells Fargo, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase held 58 percent of the $18.8 billion in bank deposits in Travis County at the end of June 2011, FDIC data indicated.
"We view the Austin market as an opportunity for a community bank," Kennedy said. "We just believe there's an opportunity in that market for a strong community bank."
Said Carpenter: "There are precious few locally owned banks in Austin. And so Broadway may have more of the characteristic of a community bank and can fill some of that void."
Broadway, founded in 1941, operates 39 locations in Central and South Central Texas.

Repairs on all of the roads closed due to last year's flooding were recently completed.
The last road to open was Route 111 in Holt County which opened to all traffic last week. Due to the flood of 2011, over 70 miles of Missouri highways closed. Missouri Department of Transportation Customer Relations Manager Melissa Black says many of the roads took months of work.

Hi Andy, others, Is the RDQL grammar at [1] up-to-date? If not, could you consider updating it? Also, could you consider defining the terminals like <SUCHTHAT>, <STR_MATCH> and <STRING_LITERAL1> in the grammar for the sake of making it complete and to prevent deviations in implementations? Currently, one has be dive into the code to find out the definition of the terminals.

Chris Smalling is likely to be shifted from centre-back to the right side of defence to cover for the injured Rafael when Manchester United travel to Norwich City on Saturday.
The Brazilian defender was injured in the 3-2 win over Hull City on Boxing Day, and Smalling is expected to move across to deputise.
Antonio Valencia will miss out after he was sent off in the closing stages against the Tigers, and Adnan Januzaj could come in for the winger .
United are still without Robin van Persie, Phil Jones and Michael Carrick.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Lindegaard, Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Vidic, Fabio, Nani, Fletcher, Cleverley, Giggs, Anderson, Young, Zaha, Januzaj, Rooney, Welbeck, Kagawa, Hernandez.

Crocker Quickest in ARCA RE/MAX Series "Channel 5 150" Qualifying at Kentucky Speedway
Twenty-four-year-old Erin Crocker will be the second woman to start a Kentucky Speedway race from the pole position when she takes the green flag for the ARCA RE/MAX Series "Channel 5 150" tonight at 8:00 p.m.
The Evernham Motorsports development driver posted the second fastest series qualifying lap at the speedway with a quick lap of 173.723 mph. She outdistanced her nearest competitor, Chad Blount, by 2.837 mph. Blount started the series May 14 event at the speedway on the pole after turning his best lap at 172.883 mph.
"I have a great team and a great car, Ray Evernham and all the guys on the team give me great equipment and that's the biggest part. I hope to drive it as best I can," Crocker said.
The Wilbraham, Mass., native will start from the pole for the second time in three ARCA RE/MAX Series events this season. She earned her first pole at Nashville Superspeedway on March 26, led the first 28 laps of the race and finished 12th. She started her second series race seventh at Michigan International Speedway on June 17 and finished seventh.
She expects similar results tonight in just her third career stock car series start.
"I very excited to have another good qualifying run and now I'm a looking for a good finish in the race," she said. "We finished 12th in the first one and seventh in the second, so hopefully tonight we'll finish right up front."
Crocker led the second series practice this afternoon with a fast lap of 171.331 mph and was second in series' morning practice with a lap of 167.126 mph. She said her No. 98 Auto Value Bumper to Bumper Dodge is race ready after practicing in steamy conditions. "The track temperature should go down a little bit and that should only help us," she said. "I feel pretty confident with the car."
She also displayed confidence in her spotter, team owner Ray Evernham.
"Ray has seen quite a few races in his day and found Victory Lane quite a bit," she said. "It's difficult having the boss on the radio. If I do something wrong, he's right there to yell at me, but, no, I'm really excited. It means a lot to me that Ray would skip Cup qualifying and come here to watch me race and be my spotter."
David Keith set the series qualifying record at the track with 175.262-mph effort on July 2, 2000. Sarah Fisher became the first woman to capture a pole position at Kentucky Speedway on August 10, 2002 when she turned a 221.390-mph lap during qualifying for the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series "Belterra Casino Indy 300."
Joey Miller qualified third in the No. 9 Country Joe Racing-Eagle Creek Aviation Dodge with a fast lap of 169.950 mph (31.774 seconds) and David Ragan rounds out the second row after turning his best qualifying lap at 168.840 mph (31.983 seconds).
Tickets for "The Channel 5 150" are still available and can be purchased at the main speedway entrance at Gates 15 and 16 up to race time.
