Brewer: Cambrew
Living in Cambodia is about being constantly surprised by everything that transpires around you. That Cambodians both manufacture and drink dark beers came as a small surprise. That they can do it well came as an even larger one. After trashing practically every cambodian beer I've imbibed purely for reasons of science, I had come to expect that the rest of the beers that I had left to review would fill me bewilderment and unease rather than surprise. I was wrong.
Cambrew says: Nothing. The 640ml bottle says alcohol by volume is 8%, and its contents are of "export quality". As far as their website goes, Angkor Extra Stout does not exist.
I say: Toffee aroma on the inital pour without much head retention. Alcohol is well disguised behind excellent burnt malt flavour with a hint of chocolate. Slightly oily mouthfeel.
If this beer was one of James Brown's hits, it would be: Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud

When disputes escalate to court proceedings, it is not uncommon for the Statements of Case to contain pointed allegations of misconduct or impropriety.
These can be directed against companies, providing some degree of anonymity for the individuals concerned, but there remains risk of damage to corporate reputation. They can also be directed against named individuals, whether or not they are parties to the action.
Under defamation law as it stands, a complainant need only demonstrate publication, of something defamatory, about him, in order to found a defamation complaint…

1. Sexual confession drinking games are a load of lies.
If you haven't already heard of it Never Have I Ever, take note because it is the drinking game everyone will be playing. It essentially involves someone saying 'Never Have I Ever done [insert outrageous sexual incident]' and everyone who has done the act then drinking. You will be surprised by the amount of people drinking for things you didn't know existed. Don't be. Most of them are lying, but you don't have to. Who cares if you're still a virgin? Chances are half of the people drinking are too.
2. You do not need to behave like a lad to get friends.
You don't have to ditch your normal personality and become a lad just to be friends with the guys. The crude banter and funnel drinking may seem fun at the time but don't feel like you have to down your body weight in pints just to fit in. It will only lead to you feeling very miserable in the morning and, worst case scenario, spending three years pretending you really enjoy watching rugby.
3. Club initiations will seem like fun at the time....
Cambridge student jelly wrestle Photo: MASONS NEWS SERVICE
This bizarre American tradition has made its way over here, but joining a 'sorority' or club that encourages a sexist and/or humiliating initiation ceremony is not a great idea. It may seem like the height of social success to be asked to join the coolest drinking society in freshers' week, but if they're trying to get you drunk and naked, do you really want to spend the next few years surrounded by people like that? (The answer's no.)
4. Please stay away from all beauty pageants, especially the ones which demand the winner to get naked.
Entering the Miss University pageant might seem like a good idea at the time, but it will come back and haunt you in the form of YouTube videos, Facebook pictures, Instagram shots, tweets and whatever else has been invented by the time you enter. If you're still determined to be Miss Uni 2014, proceed with caution and don't celebrate by stripping off your clothes as one university urged their winner to do.
5. Beware of mock essay deadline panic.
The week before you hand in your dissertation, someone will moan 'I can't believe I haven't started yet!' Others will inevitably join in, trying to compete by showing how little they have done and how they're doomed to fail. They will not fail. Primarily because they have already written the dissertation/essay/revised the whole course. Don't fall into the trap of assuming they're being honest because they're not and you will end up the only person who hasn't started your essay. Coffee is your new best friend.
6. Chill out - instant couples are so smug, annoying and fake.
In freshers' week, one drunken night between two students will turn into a full-blown relationship. At first you'll all be saying it will never last, but after they move in together and start choosing all the same modules to spend more quality time together, you'll probably start planning what to wear to their wedding. If you are single or rarely see your partner, do not be disheartened by the instant couple - this is not an accurate representation of a normal relationship. Fact.
7. Do not become a gap yah bore.
If you were one of the lucky few to jet off around the world for a year, you probably had an amazing time. Now you have countless stories about Full Moon parties, romantic encounters in Brazil and finding yourself in India. Unfortunately, no one will want to hear these stories – especially if they spent their summer working overtime in a Starbucks. Keep your stories to yourself to avoid become 'that gap yah girl'.
8. Leaving your room door open has its downsides.
The culture of locking your room doors is more complicated than you might think. Leaving it open in halls will invite a variety of people into your room and provide you with a ready-made selection of diverse friends. On the downside, you may find your room becomes a hub for the bored and lonely drifting through the corridors while you're working to a deadline. Find a happy medium and beware pranksters taking advantage of the open-door policy and piling all your furniture onto your bed.
9. House hunting decisions are political and must be paced.
As soon as freshers' week ends, conversation will turn to house hunting. 'Who are you going to live with in second year?' will be the topic du jour, but October is too early to start discussing this. So is November. Ignore the horror stories spreading that you won't have anyone to live with or anywhere to live and just wait until you actually know who your friends are.
10. Fancy dress is a rite of passage. Just keep away from the tiny Santa look.
Mean Girls
For no clear reason, fancy dress has become synonymous with 'the classic university experience'. Primark sales must boom every September with students keen to look the part for neon/80s/90s/chav themed parties, but don't feel like you have to emulate the Mean Girls of the university with tiny Santa outfits and minimal clothing. Again, the photos will come back to haunt you…
11. Wear more clothes
Freshers' week flu is not a good look. It can totally wipe out most of your first term. Because you will be hungover during the days and think you are warmer than you are, you will probably think it's ok to walk around in a vest top. Despite your newly high body temperature, this is actually the time to invest in a coat.
You will also want to leave said coat at home on nights out because you don't want to fork out for the club cloakroom. Don't do this. Take the coat and pay the pound.

ATLANTA -- If Tuesday night was a preview of what's to come in the Georgia Dome at the end of the NCAA tournament, we are in for a fun season.
MORE: Duke's experiences trumps UK's youth
MAILBAG: Submit your college hoops questions
After watching two highly competitive and entertaining games between Michigan State-Kansas and Duke-Kentucky, here are three observations I made and three players who impressed me:
1. Coaching is critical, particularly in the early part of the season, and I'm going to credit at least part of the high-caliber play in everyone's second game of the season to these four Hall of Fame coaches getting their kids ready to play. Even some of these highly touted freshmen -- Michigan State's Gary Harris and Kentucky's Alex Poythress especially -- looked comfortable in pressure situations. They were prepared.
2. Despite losing Austin Rivers and Miles Plumlee, Duke is still one of the best teams in the nation. Seth Curry looked fantastic. Mason Plumlee played aggressively. And when he was too aggressive -- in foul trouble early in the second half -- the Blue Devils showed they can hold their own and even extend their lead without him on the court. This is a veteran team with an excellent coach, and until I see N.C. State or North Carolina beat a team as talented as Kentucky, I will consider Duke the favorite to win the ACC.
3. The two teams that lost on Tuesday -- Kentucky and Kansas -- will both be fine. The Jayhawks have a lot of talent, and they just need to get used to playing in big moments without Thomas Robinson or Tyshawn Taylor. Elijah Johnson is a spark plug, and Jamari Traylor looks like he can be an impact player. Perry Ellis needs to stop hesitating, as Kansas coach Bill Self said, and he will contribute more. I wrote about Kentucky's youth, inexperience and lack of a point guard Tuesday night, but that's going to be the theme with that team until the Wildcats get more practices and games under their belts -- and either Ryan Harrow comes back to play the point or Kentucky coach John Calipari turns Archie Goodwin into a point guard.
Gary Harris, Michigan State: Keith Appling's play down the stretch overshadowed an 18-point performance by the freshman, who also played the second-most amount of minutes on his team. Harris looked much better than he did in the Spartans' season-opening loss to UConn, and if he continues to play like he did Tuesday, he will be one of the best freshmen in the country.
Alex Poythress, Kentucky: Calipari told Poythress to be a beast and be tough around the rim. So Poythress went out and scored 20 points, some coming on monster dunks. Poythress let out a roar after one in the first half. Very beast-like indeed.
Jamari Traylor, Kansas: His electrifying put-back dunk was the No. 2 play on SportsCenter, but he also had a key block against the backboard late in the game that equally energized the crowd. This redshirt freshman spent a year going up against Thomas Robinson in practice and looks like he can hang with any big man.
And here's video of a Traylor monster dunk to emphasize his skills:

Col. Richard Petri, MD, was still a young resident in rotation in the Philippines when he was struck by an awareness of the possibilities of integrative medicine.
"My first exposure, I was actually the patient," recalled Petri, who was suffering from lower back pain. A Vietnamese doctor performed acupuncture to alleviate the pain. "It seemed to help a little bit in my acute pain. I had to put that in the back of my head that there were other treatments for conditions."
Petri earned his medical degree from Georgetown School of Medicine and completed his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. With such training, he was well educated in conventional Western medicine. But that early lesson in complementary medicine stuck with him and today, 20 years later, Petri is at the forefront of complementary medicine.
In 2003, Petri was named director of the Department of Defense's first Center for Integrative and Alternative Medicine Center, at Fort Bliss, Texas.
"We started modestly with three modalities and gradually added additional modalities over time," Petri said. "We set the tone, at the least, that integrative medicine can be tried as medical treatment options."
When it opened its doors, the center offered only acupuncture, chiropractic services, and monochromatic near-infrared energy technology, which is used to speed healing of broken bones and wounds. Over the years, the center expanded to offer its patients mind-body medicine, Reiki massage, and biofeedback.
It now has on staff two physiatrists, a chiropractor, nursing assistant, military medic, chiropractic assistant, medical support assistant, and a research director. Petri's staff serves an average of 50 patients per day in the acupuncture clinic, 30 patients in the chiropractic clinic, and 12 to 15 patients per day in the pain/physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic.
Petri said that, as with any change, integrating complementary medicine into the military healthcare system wasn't without challenges.
"For many reasons, change is met with skepticism and disbelief. Alternative medicine has at times been viewed as voodoo medicine with the science of colon cleansing and psychic surgery." "Like many changes over the course of time, change comes because of necessity. Over the past year, multiple negative press stories have highlighted the single-dimensional approach of our health-care system. This has had a positive impact for the exploration into the role of holistic philosophy of integrative medicine as a multidimensional approach," Petri said.
In fact, since the center opened at Fort Bliss, the use of integrated medicine has spread widely through the U.S. military. Petri said that a recent survey of 12 major military medical treatment facilities showed that 92 percent of them now offer integrative medicine.
Petri offers two points that may be behind this growth. First, complementary medicine is not that far afield from traditional Western medicine.
"Integrative medicine is not alternative medicine. That is, IM utilizes modalities with some known evidence for safety and efficacy with the typical Western medicine treatments ... Integrative medicine ... is the balance of both conventional and alternative medical practices," he said.
Second, the success of complementary medicine is measurable.
"Quantitative successes include decreased medication requirements and pain levels. Qualitative successes include increased function, decreased stress and anxiety, and improved quality of life," Petri said. "However, the most satisfying successes are the witnessing of patients' sense of control over their condition from a state of hopelessness. The patients begin to feel that they don't have to suffer because they have a chronic condition."
It's that last element that Petri finds particularly exciting.
"What I really like about patient-centered care is that we are placing the patient as the team leader, but more important than that, we are asking the patient to now be responsible for their condition and take ownership of their condition," he said.
"It changes the model from passive to active; it asks the patient to be responsible for their health."
Petri offers the example of a patient with diabetes: "They eat improper food, but when they're engaged in integrative medicine, they tend to take a more responsive role toward keeping their health."
But while Petri's example cites diabetes, he points out that integrative medicine's role in pain management is increasingly in demand because of the rising number of injured soldiers returning home.
"This is a challenging time within the military medical system due to the ongoing military conflicts. Never in the history of the United States have we had troops engaged in conflicts for such a prolonged period of time. Additionally, our technology has saved more lives than in other conflicts. More warriors are returning with significant injuries," he said. "Therefore, we have been challenged to excel in health care delivery. Integrative medicine ... expands our available tool kit of treatment options for the best possible outcomes for our wounded warriors."
Petri said he is working on an acupuncture training program to take acupuncture to the trenches, allowing soldiers to get the care they need where and when they need it. "The training is a three-tiered approach in which physicians, mid-level providers, and medic soldiers are trained in acupuncture approaches. The goal is to bring acupuncture to the soldier as far forward as possible. Another initiative is the training of soldiers in mind-body techniques (meditation, visualization, relaxation) which can be used in everyday life, on and off the battlefield," he said.
That training program is only one of the many integrative medicine changes planned for military health care providers.
"Fort Bliss in conjunction with William Beaumont Army Medical Center is undertaking a comprehensive holistic project of prevention and wellness known as Wellness Fusion Campus," Petri said. "The concept is one of empowerment of the person to be responsible for their own health and healing through the physical, emotional, social, family, and spiritual dimensions. Again, IM is an important component of the program."
Petri said the WBAMC is also developing new programs of integrative medicine for the Department of Defense for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries, combat stress-related issues, and pain.
A long-term goal is to develop an Institute in Integrative Health and Healing, a Defense Center of Excellence in Integrative Medicine focused on patient care, education, and research.
"I think the future for integrative medicine is very promising. Western medicine is defined as those modalities that are generally accepted as standard practice. As we prove the value of integrative medicine modalities through research and patient care, integrative medicine modalities will become western treatments," Petri said.
The possibilities excite Petri as much today as when he was a resident in the Philippines.
"I just think it's a great time to be in medicine. I kind of equate it to when they discovered penicillin or when they found the germs and they understood that there were microbes. I think we're in a new era of medicine," he said.
"For me personally, I haven't even started yet. We've got a lot of work to do. This is just the beginning."

And yet it is a curious fact that in all the sacred writings of the world there is a suggestion that holy men, or "Men of God," have this and other transcendent faculties, such as clairaudience and the power of healing.
In trance there is generally a development of other super-senses, such as clairaudience and psychic touch, as well as clairvoyance.
Let Michael relay Sutton and tell you people here who have the phoney habit (it was remarketable) in his clairaudience, as this is, as only our own Michael can, when reicherout at superstation, to bring ruptures to our roars how I am amp amp amplify.
This evening focuses on the four clairs–clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance–and how you can become "clear on your clairs."
Portland Book Events: January 11-January 17 - Reading Local: Portland
Channeling, telepathy, and clairaudience are greatly enhanced.
And by definition, clairaudience is what you experienced.
"Something like, though his Talent lies in clairvoyance and clairaudience rather than telepathy and psychometry," she admitted with a slight smile.
The telephone, for example, is a technical analogue of clairaudience; television, of clairvoyance; the computer, given the ease and speed with which it performs calculations and makes predictions, of precognition.
Leonard became partially possessed by Gwyther; the other mediums used clairvoyance and clairaudience.
SMOKY QUARTZ: Helps one get more in touch with nature; excellent for meditation and healing on the mental and etheric levels; carries an ultra-sound frequency which enables one to develop clairaudience and mediumship.

Code. Ugh. FML. What is this nonsense? Syntax. Semicolons. Brackets. Conditionals. Something called recursion? Oh, and not to mention that each language has it's own version of all of those things.
It is definitely daunting to think about and even harder to keep up with the rapid industry changes.
But, what you need to understand as a digital designer or UX enthusiast about programming is that it is absolutely necessary for the digital age. Learning how to communicate about and use the tools that developers live and breath every day will help you collaborate with them to create much more effective interactive applications.
When I entered the industry as an Art Director, I essentially was a "web designer"—a broad term that meant I had the duties of laying out website pages and then figuring out how to make them work. Growing up as an illustrator put me in a good place to take on the art and graphics focused parts. Having a knack for computers, I taught myself HTML & CSS by clicking the "View Source" in the browser and comparing it with w3schools.com. I learned enough to make a web page. But, I really had little knowledge of computer science and programming concepts.
Time and time again I would design something and the developer would say, "Dude, that isn't going to work." I would always ask them, "Why?" Every time they would just say something to the effect of "The internet just doesn't work like that." Ugh, how annoying, right? I design this awesome piece in Photoshop and Illustrator only to have someone tell me that it doesn't belong on the internet.
So, I started learning Flash. At the time it was getting some serious traction in the film & entertainment world. It didn't have the same "rules" that HTML & CSS did. I could animate things. It was like having a low quality After Effects for the internet. After developing some projects with Flash, it was clear that I really needed to understand some programming concepts. What I realized is that while trying to make an experimental website with all the animation and pretty pictures I made in Photoshop, I had to implement the very intrinsic browser features that didn't exist in the plugin. As Flash developers, we had to create our own components that browsers had been doing for years. Like, drop-down menus and responsive layouts based on percentages (Eventually the platform evolved into a more application based framework called Flex and they started helping the developers out).
I picked up every book I could find about Object Oriented Programming (OOP) from bookstores and asked programmers & google searched so many questions. After a couple years of programming websites and other interactive apps, it clicked. I understood what it meant to program interactivity and why those guys couldn't do the things I was asking with HTML & CSS. But, I had found the loophole now. I could design and program it myself.
Since I understood programming, I took a few roles as a full-time developer and worked on making other great Designers and Art Directors creative concepts come to life. Computer technology advanced, JavaScript became more powerful and plugins like Flash got pushed out of the mix because of mobile devices. Now in the 2014 digital space, with HTML5 and JavaScript processing power getting faster all the time, we can once again create those extremely immersive interactive applications.
At this point in my career, I've kinda stepped back and analyzed some of the designs that I'm creating and I realize that they are very UX (user experience) based. "What do I want the user to see and touch first, second, third and how do I want them to feel as they are doing so?" With the combination of understanding how to program things and being able to rapidly create working prototypes, I can design and program things iteratively and somewhat at the same time by doing one and referencing the other.
Design and programming for human interface devices are so tightly integrated with the concept of the application. Without one, the other fails and vice-versa. Also, with the technology advancement of mobile devices, the more recent trends of flat design and the ubiquitous knowledge base and contributions of things like WordPress and other open source projects and communities, this is becoming more and more apparent.
"So how does it make me better?"
If you understand design as a programmer, you'll know how to make the functionality feel comfortable to the user and let the design breathe life instead of just displaying pictures and text. On the contrary, if you understand programming concepts as a visual designer, you'll be able to create the EXACT experience you want and explain it in detail to the person(s) who will program the application.

Stone Beds [A Poem and an Advance]
Stone Beds[Pompeii's surge]Advance: after the great eruption of Pompeii's nearby volcano, Vesuvius, some two-thousand years ago in the heyday of the Roman Empire, what was left of the city were mostly ashes of stone from an unleashing furnace; it is hard to imagine what the people went through (none, not one person survived). I can only guess from the looks of the city today, and in its early excavations, its people were baked alive or asleep, like pottery.

Ode to: The Ice Maiden of Ampatos Summit [now in: English and Spanish]
Dedícate to Antonio Castillo. L.
Take some time to stop and look at nature. Pick up a rock or two and think about where it might have started out and what it might have gone through to end up where you found it.

The Butcher of Lima and Footprints to Mantaro Valley (Two Poems)
Footprints to Mantaro Valley(Peru; in English and Spanish)In what retreat art hid?-Where falling mountains groanIn shadow and amongThe rapids of the Rio?Is not your name Mantaro Valley?Beyond the footprints of the Andes--?I can hear your voice in echoesI can hear thy voice, divinely low.I do but know thy by a glanceAs the clouds above me know? .
The King and Delka & Moiromma: the Cold Planet [Parts 25 and 26]
#25The King and Delka[Split Mawkishness-on Moiromma /Part V]Sickly SentimentalityI have sought out friendsOnly to find rawnessOf their passion;And the uniformity Of their vision.Who out there can knowMy cerebral verve?(Only the long dead)By King Moir I[Of Moiromma]Ah! the aimless cosmos come back to his mind as he stands on his balcony looking up into he eerie dark.
Two Poems: San Jeronimo Brook & [in English and Spanish]
Fair Andes! Thy arms reach highOf iron-woven solid stoneThu art a condor to the skyOf glory hidden in thy heartSo many paths, a maze of art?In thy old, Mantaro ValleyWhere adobes, breathe and trembleBeyond your rustic shadowsThere lays the prettiest of brooksIs my heart, within its stream!My image deeply carved, rippledIn its undiluted shallow watersWaiting, just waiting for me?As it opens up, opens up my soulMy rippled soul-searching-eyes!..
Have you ever experienced infatuation with someone you know is not a good match for you? Or how about an interesting relationship that roots itself deep in your memory..
Two Poems on the Traditions of Peru [in English and Spanish]
Atahualpa's Game[Peruvian]Sometimes, it's not wiseTo share your wisdom---as did, Atahualpa (The Inca King) in the Game of chess; thereafter,He was condemned to death.6/6/05 #713Note: Atahualpa, was the most famous of the Inca Kings, in the 16th century of Peru, I do relieve, and was held for ransom by the Spaniards.
Beautiful Dreamer, Stephen Foster, Americas First Folk Song Writer
"Beautiful Dreamer" was written by Stephen Foster just before his death in 1864 at age 37. The song became one of his most famous and most popular.
Four Poems: Two for the Devil, Two for Peru
Here is some witty poetry (not sure if that is the proper word: witty, but it will do): one poem on the Aztec year 2012, a year that has been in the public's eye quite a lot; one on cloning, and the biblical end time events--which, if I may add seems ripe for the monster events that are said to take place; and two poems dealing with some tradtions of Peru; one imparticular, on vacationing, where not to go; all the makings for some thought.Aztec BabyOn December 25, 2012 ADThe Devil had an idea-He'd clone himselfIn the form of a baby;Called the Antichrist.
The Dead God of Copan (in English and Spanish)
English VersionAnd the Death God said: "Let it rise to its glory in the Rio Valley-for a season; then let it be gone, we shall call it Copan?"Prologue: Empires come and go, liken to cosmic events, or the storms around the world: Atlantis, Mu, Greece, Persia, Rome, the Inca Nation, and even the great Maya heroic times of Copan, in Central America. All came and all left, one way or another; now just dust and artifacts in the spiral of time.
THe Monster Mash, A Graveyard SMASH (short story I wrote when I was 11)
The Monster Mash The Graveyard SmashHave you heard of the Monster Mash? I suppose you know the story of how it came to be, right? Well, I'm here to tell the TRUE story to you.It sarted out late one night, when all monsters where out of human sight.
Rules for Writing Poetry
You've been writing poetry since that first assignment in your high school writing class. You know the rules about writing poetry, right? Are there rules? Well, if you frequent the poetry forums across the Internet as much as I do, you'd find that there are a lot of amateur poets who adamantly declare that there are no rules for writing poetry and if someone even suggests reading poetry or books on poetry, many of the amateur poets will throw up a defensive front.

angela 01. Jun, 2011 at 6:30 pmI brought one at 32.00 on this pass sunday it was my last time I could get in.and i'm mad. at click bank because they don't have me on there,and I don't know what do i gusses I'll do it on my own.less i made a copy.
risingstar 17. Sep, 2011 at 3:00 pmI would get your credit card statement and call click bank to show proof you did make that purchase
i stay in st kitts and nevis. with net space, can i open websites for businesses in..for example newyork?
in one word or less – fantastic! In more words the program is no longer available, not on their website – not anywhere, and really…after reading every !!! post on the WF, I would have pulled it and said to 99% of the people there. k.m.a This was one extremely rare opportunity for persons who could SEE it. He (pen name) Tyler spoon-fed his entire program, for peanuts, and lucky me, I happened to stumble on it. This one time I followed his advice. My reaction…OMG. I knew I purchased the…. "motherload". For people who feel that one thing or another does not work where they live, I have this advice – he raised it – he even cooked it, now cut up your own meat. Recently I talked to a computer/internet/google etc person – about Tyler's netspaceprofits – he shook his head and said: "pure genius". I agree. You gotta have a bit of a brain to see that. Nothing is for everybody. Now it's no longer for sale.

Product Stats and Appraisal
In order to answer this question we use statistics. You see there are so many digital products out there, covering such a wide range of subjects that we currently don't have the resources to try them all first-hand. Instead, we use the stats provided by the payment provider that handles the card payments for this product. (See our about page for more info on the way in which we use the stats). We use the stats to produce two quality indicators: buyer frenzy and buyer satisfaction.
Our Buyer Satisfaction RatingWe have given this product a buyer satisfaction rating of 98.87/100 which is extremely high, and means the purrr factor is strong here: the overwhelming majority of customers were highly satisfied with their purchase.
Buyer FrenzyBuyer Frenzy is an indication of how much interest there in a product – a little like a product's 'sales rank'. When a product scores a high frenzy rating, it means that customers are going mad for a product, buying it in their hundreds every day. Products with a high frenzy are usually quality products.
Net Space Profits has a frenzy score of 79.85/100 which is excellent – this product is selling in high quantities every day. That's an indication of high quality

Whiplash Willie and Cunning Act have massive absences to overcome although the fact that both are being persevered with is interesting. The market should tell us more but NICHOLASCOPERNICUS is preferred in a contest perhaps not as competitive as on initial inspection. Ed Walker's gelding was far from disgraced in really competitive handicaps last term, culminating in a respectable seventh in the November Handicap. Hopefully he'll be ready for this reappearance as he looks to have a clear form chance. Albert Bridge is a rare Flat runner for Emma Lavelle and a good run is anticipated after a cosy success in a Plumpton hurdle when last seen. He rates the main threat as he'll handle the ground, while Ridgeway Storm is unexposed but does need to improve from what he's delivered in three maiden starts.
Whiplash Willie 10-1 (9-2) Raced wide, held up in touch, smooth headway over 3f out, led travelling well 2f out, briefly headed over 1f out, headed by winner 1f out, rallied towards finish, always held, 2nd of 19, 3/4l behind Parlour Games (8-8) at York 1m 6f 3yo hcp 0-105 (2) gd in Aug '11.

Me Time
Being a parent/caregiver can mean you are constantly scrambling for a little "me time". We get a lot of e-mails from parents whose kids love to sing and dance to the LBB's songs and videos while they get some work done. We're so glad to be a part of that!
This got us to thinking about some other fun ways to keep the kids busy and safe while parents grab some "me time". We asked our Facebook fans to tell us some of their other ideas for how to enjoy a little time to themselves! We hope you enjoy these ideas to create a safe, fun experience for your little ones while you take care of your own business. Thanks to all who participated :)

Edible play-dough! I love the Pillsbury crescent/pizza dough - I roll up a small amount into a ball, and give one to each of my girls. They create whatever masterpieces they want - most recently a basket filled with 'cherries' and then I bake it, and they eat it! It keeps them busy while I am cooking, and keeps them in the kitchen with me for some quality time!
Kellie Jorgensen Schultz
I have a huge tupperware 3/4 of the way filled with dry beans (pinto?). Also in the tupperware are shovels, measuring cups, little cups, etc. The kids dig, pour, pile, to their hearts content. When they are finished we just put the lid on & put it away!
Jana Cheney Kirby
I have a "bucket" that the kids will sit down with. It has items like beans, uncooked pasta, buttons, pipe cleaners (and so on) that the kids will glue on paper. They make collages while I make dinner :)
Kina N Jason Reid
I place a peice of paper inside a large gallon size ziplock bag, then get a moist sponge, cut it into a couple smaller peices and squirt a little paint on them. Seal the bag, and let the kids start pounding away. It looks really cool when the paint splatters and it makes a neat picture, but best of all, the mess is conatined within the bag and when you are done you can throw it away without having to hose down your table and your toddler!
Dawn Leone Van Brunt
I give the boys the Sunday paper coupons and they flip through and find the things we buy! Then they sticky note them and I go back to cut them out! Helps me get them involved in healthy eating and saving money! Plus they feel "big" for helping me shop!

"Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands."

It is designed with present-day virtues in mind.

I've come across some untraditional collaborations between rock musicians and orchestras, but this one has to be the most unusual. Brian McCollum of the Detroit Free Press wrote a post about Detroit native Kid Rock's performance with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on May 12. The event was a fundraiser, which, according to a DSO press release, raised more than $1 milllion to fund performances by the symphony's musicians in schools, churches, retirement communities, nursing homes, hospitals, and community centers across Southeast Michigan.
The orchestra opened with classical standards including Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man", the first movement of Beethoven's fifth Symphony, and Rossini's "William Tell Overture" (see Mark Stryker's article on the Detroit Free Press for more info). The rock set list included "Devil without a Cause", "Rock and Roll Jesus", "Rock On" and "Bawitdaba".
You can check out photos from the event here.

Its A Little Lonely At The Fountain Hills Dog Park
May 25
I write a lot about the Fountain Hills dog park, probably because we take Harry and Rufus pretty much twice a day. Only now going to the dog park is just not the same. Summer is just beginning and many of the four legged snow birds have gone home along with their owners. I think they are as they say "lucky dogs". I'm sure most of them are going back to much cooler temps than what their Arizona canine friends Read the rest of this entry »

Well that's silly, we all know dogs can't talk, so I will be blogging on their behalf. No I have not been to tons of other dog parks to make such a statement. I don't need to go to other dog parks to know that Fountain Hills has the best dog park ever. It just is. Here's the deal, when you live in Fountain Hills your can get anywhere in seven minutes.

Dog Park Politics In Fountain Hills. . . Someone Google Fact Check
Feb 01
Fountain Hills has a great dog park. We go there a lot with our dog Harry, sometimes twice a day, yeah I know its crazy but as I have said before Harry is a very spoiled dog. Anyway if you can get to the park about 7:30 am you will find a group of dog owners that are extremely passionate about their politics.
The setting is the big dog park, (there's a small dog park as well) with all the big dogs and, yes I'm going to say it, their very Republican dog owners, plus a sprinkling of some verrry out numbered Democrats. Oh and yes the Tea Party tribe, hmmm are they Republicans, sometimes hard to tell who's who. I really can't say I have seen any independents but it doesn't mean they're not there.
The cast of characters and no last names here, Mitch, Fred, Joe, Howard, Frank, Nick, Bob and BoB (there's 2 Bobs), and Jerry to name a few.
From time to time it's not so easy to determine ones political persuasion. An owner may be just chillin in the background and choose not to contribute to the political topic of the day or chose to walk away from an often heated discussion. All I can tell you is that "Fact Check" needs to be instituted for these die hard, big dog owner, amateur politicians.
Make no mistake these dog owners are all law abiding fun citizens who will spout off whatever they are thinking. Although not political, I am looking forward to their feisty opinions about the upcoming Super Bowl. Don't have a dog, come to the dog park anyway, especially if your a Democrat, we need all the help we can get. The bonus that comes with all these lively discussions is that the dogs are really fun to watch, especially Harry, everyone loves Harry.
All Things Costco . . Battlefield, Obstacle Course, Survival
Jan 16
No this post is not about our Fountain Hills community, its" fine restaurants, shops, current events or matters of real estate. No today I am writing about, of all things, Costco. I guess you could call this one of those venting posts and since I have a blog, why not take advantage of this conduit of free speech to purge my feelings and personal observations about all things Costco.
First you have to understand that I go to Costco frequently. The instigator of this every other week visit is our dog Harry. You see Harry cannot live without his daily vice of Chicken Bacon strips. Heaven help me if I run out of them. I must always have a backup bag. Let me tell you that this little treat is not cheap. Petco and Petsmart sells them for some ridiculous price. Costco sells them in this very large bag and gets in my wallet for $15 plus a bag. I have a very spoiled dog. OK, let's start the purging. Read the rest of this entry »

Reliability Of Lead-free Solder Under Cyclic Bending
Zahedi, Fahad
MetadataShow full item record
To characterize particular compositions of lead free solder, four point cyclic bending test was conducted to study the affects of accelerated stress testing on the package to board interconnects. Nine CTBGA packages with 0.5 mm ball pitch and 12 x 12 mm package size were reflowed on 8 layered PWB's using solder balls with lead free composition alloys and different PWB copper pad finishes. The boards were subjected to test conditions based on proposed standards by JEDEC. Strain gages were mounted at different locations on the test boards as well as on bare boards in order to observe the difference caused in the board strain use this information for simulation purposes. Failure analysis results have been presented as part of the work on the characterization of the various compositions of lead free alloys. This work reports and explains some of the observations found from the results of this test.

I have to hand it to The Only Way Is Essex girls – they know how to put an outfit together. Most of them have terrible taste in men (with constant cheating rumours) but what they lack in this department they make up for in fashion sense. Ferne McCann (above) is evidence of this. I thought she looked stunning at the children's BAFTA awards!
In TOWIE, Ferne is the BFF of Sam Faiers and sometimes she gets overlooked by Sam, who's been in the show since the first series. However, the leather skirt she wore to the BAFTAs ensured all eyes were on her as she strutted her stuff on the red carpet. Leather is so on trend right now and for a skirt like Ferne's try the Kardashian Kollection pu quilted pencil skirt. It's perfect for a Christmas Party – striking because of the leather material but classy because of the knee length. It's also really flattering! To glam up the skirt like Fearne did, add gold sandals like the Steve Madden realirt strap sandals and a gold envelope clutch bag. Now all you need is a smart top and you're ready to #partyinstyle .
With leather there's no way you'll be hiding in the corner at the party while someone else gets the attention. Isn't it your turn to shine?

The way Sri Lankan cricket players play in 20 20, they are so tough to play with and I am so sure any team be it Pak or India or WI or Australia or south Africa name the team the fear really from the first ball. SRI LANKA IS LIKE RAVANA PLAYING CRICKET.
Name Sri Lanka has come only because Ravana ruled this island and the strategy of Ravana is well mixed by the team. Forget Ravana let me talk about Sri Lanka.
They the Sri Lanka look so ordinary, I have admired on the cricket players from Afghanistan who will be future winners in any cricket but Sri Lanka is tough to crack and tough to beat and they surprise from the first ball to the last ball. WHAT IS THEIR SPECIALTY.
In the first ball of the 20 20 they make the crowd so slow feel, batsman think run rate is less but wicket is safe, but suddenly the Srilanka in the very first over get one wicket and the run may be under ten. Second over.
Second over they dont mind giving few runs but suddenly they tighten the noose for the third over and it wil be MAIDEN OVER. fourth over.
The reason I am writing in terms of over is because they field in this way only, they have very good bowlers, there is no need to name them, any one can take wicket because their fielding control is total, either the wicket gets bowled or catch take place or run out, they get either one in this three expressed. Fifth over, done 24 balls and 15 over remains.
The crowd now gets very tightly watching because from this over Sri Lanka scare the players be it Pak or India or any in this world, they are unable to make runs at all.Now the fact is whether they have opened batting or fielding it is one and the same for Srilanka. Sri Lanka never make mistakes.
Yes their specialty is entire team is one, entire team play as one. They are from a small country, that is the advantage, every one is near to their place of birth and intermixing with them in their country is just hours away, in plane any place in Sri Lanka can be reached in ten to fifteen minutes in helicopter. What Indians must learn.
Sri Lanka they practice with faith and love to field and are not much towards wasting in pride. Since they play too good of course they wont get much runs but make others to run for run.
If we take decades back to review on Sri Lanka team, world all over did not much give importance to them, infact there was complex feel in them, but they have nation pride and when they share the joy, each have faith to acknowledge the valour of it.
Every ball is hard to reckon how it will work for the opposite team who have to feel scared all the time. They scare by their fielding and bowling.The batsman or batsmen both are scared because Srilanka bowlers are good in taking wickets and also catch the ball and the catching the ball is so surprising from nowhere they come and catch the ball which otherwise would be 4 or six. YEARS OF PRACTICE.
Yes if today Sri Lanka plays so well, it is all due to decades of dedication and entire nation supports them, this euphoric support and love for their team is simply amazing. Do India has team like Sri Lanka.
our players are more like actors, good actors , boring actors and some are simply not good, may be they over eat, over enjoy hotel life, and the end will be India may not get any more place if they play like this. Watch the future play of Srilanka.

Fans of Freaks and Geeks can find solace in their hearts by knowing that Lindsey and Sam Weir probably went on to do great things in their life. They're in their early 50's now, and probably have kids of their own. Maybe their kids have kids, and they think about how their parents, long dead, would help them out when the kids were just babies. It's a comfortable, middle-class life for the Weirs.
But life for Kim Kelly (Busy Phillips) and Daniel Desario (James Franco), could've been hard. Maybe a jail stint or three screwed up any chance at Daniel getting a job and keeping up with child support. After living on Nick Andropolis' (Jason Segel) couch for a while, perhaps he just kind of drifted out of town and hadn't been seen since Bush was re-elected in 2004. Needless to say, Fortuna was likely cruel to some of the characters in Freaks and Geeks.
When asked about a potential reunion, showrunner Judd Apatow explained that maybe we we didn't want to know how some of these people turned out.
I don't think we would, just because it has somewhat of a perfect ending. I don't know if you really want to know what happened to those people. I don't think good things happened to a fair amount of them, so it might be deeply sad to see what happened to Jason Segel's character or James Franco's character. I mean, you could do it. They were meant to be really damaged people. Jason Segel's character had a dad who was in the armed services, who didn't really understand him and discouraged everything that he wanted to do, and it was really painful to watch. Would he break out of that and have all his dreams come true? I don't know. We'd have to sit down and try to figure out the logical conclusion for all those people. Who knows?

Largest serving of guacamole: Mexico breaks Guinness world record
Tancítaro, Mexico -- A giant guacamole, surpassing the two and a half tons of avocado mixed with onions tomatoes and lemons, was prepared in Tancítaro, Michoacán, Mexico; 450 high school students used 113 kilos of onions, 320 kilos of tomatoes and 110 litres of lemon juice to make the 2,670 kilos guacamole, setting the new world record for the Largest serving of guacamole,
according to the World Record Academy: www.worldrecordacademy.com/.
Photo: The world's largest guacamole, surpassing the two and a half tons of avocado mixed with onions tomatoes and lemons, was prepared in Tancítaro, Michoacán,Mexico. (enlarge photo)
The Guinness world record for the largest serving of guacamole weighed 1,866.08 kg (4,114 lb) and was achieved by Schnebly Redland's Winery, Fresh King Inc., Robert Morgan Vocational Senior High School, John A Ferguson Senior High School, South Dade Senior High School and Homestead Senior High School (all USA) at Schnebly Redland's Winery, Homestead, Florida, USA.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest serving of fish and chips; it weighs 47.75 kg (105 lb 4 oz) and was achieved by Fish and Chips@ LTD (UK), in London, UK.
"I want to say that with 2,670 kilos, the Guinness world record for the world's biggest guacamole has been broken," reported the unofficial result Salvador Torres Mora, Mayor of Tancitaro.
Blanca Esthela Paredes, organizer of the event, explained that they divided the boys into groups to speed up the process of preparing, "110 (people) to chop tomatoes, 110 for chopping onions, 110 for pulping avocado, 40 to stir the guacamole and 50 for the lemons," she detailed.
The guacamole retained its traditional flavour; it was made with the same basic ingredients used by Mexicans for centuries. In total 113 kilos of onions, 320 kilos of tomatoes and 110 litres of lemon juice were used, explained Liliana Montero Meza, coordinator of the guacamole preparation.
A special scale for weighing the guacamole, with a 4.5 ton capacity and that had a display showing the progress by the minute, was also made, said Marco Antonio Ruiz, director of Servibásculas.
Tancítaro, Michoacán, is located on the slopes of the mountain of the same name, and its known as the world capital of avocado.
There are 22 thousand hectares planted, of which 17,000 are exported, primarily to the United States, Canada and Japan, and the rest is consumed in the domestic market.

Is there a migration tool that I can use to pull all of my existing content to a blog I set up here? Can I have more than one blog?
I don't know if this would be possible, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

text: BOONE, Iowa—A single vehicle roll over in southern Boone County right before 4:00 Thursday morning has sent a Woodward woman to a Des Moines hospital with what are reported to be serious injuries. The accident occurred on L Avenue, northwest of Woodward. 31 year old Dawn Phipps was traveling north on L Avenue when she lost control, entered the ditch and rolled her pickup. Phipps was taken by Boone County Ambulance to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines where she was being treated. Two passengers, 19 year old Rebecca Woods of Ames and 33 year old Benjamin Kruckenburg of Madrid received minor injuries but refused treatment. Woods was cited for possession of alcohol under the legal age. Authorities say alcohol appears to be a contributing factor and test results are pending.

Electric Car Opportunities
Shut Out Foreign Oil and Make a Few Bucks
One million electric cars on the road by 2015.
This was the goal President Obama set for the United States during his State of the Union address.
It's an aggressive goal, to say the least — and quite frankly, one I find to be a bit on the overly-optimistic side...
I'm not saying it can't happen; certainly we have the production capacity to pull it off. And from the folks I've been speaking with over the past two days here at the Plug-In 2012 conference in San Antonio, it's a goal that plenty here would be happy to help facilitate...
But will we actually see one million electric cars on our nation's roads in less than three years?
According to Pike Research, about 410,000 plug-in electric vehicles will be sold between 2011 and 2015 in the United States, and cumulative sales won't reach the one million mark until 2018. So it looks like we might be coming up a little short.
But to go from less than a thousand (722 total in 2010) to one million in eight years is nothing to trivialize — even if Obama does end up with a little egg on his face.
What Reagan Said...
Look, I'd love nothing more than to see a million electric cars on the road by 2015.
After all, what's the point in having goals if we don't set them high enough?
Truth is setting high (and sometimes overly-optimistic) goals has led this country to greatness over the years...
From the Declaration of Independence to the moon landing, no great event in our history was ever the result of complacency and defeatism.
It was President Ronald Reagan who once said: "... if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose — somehow we win out."
So, what are we going to make of our lives?
Are we going to continue to buy the illusion that nothing is better or more practical or more economical than the conventional internal combustion engine?
Are we going to continue to allow other countries (many of which are hostile to the United States) to dictate our growth by controlling the flow of our most important drug?
OR are we going to suspend the nonsense and the partisan puppet show, get our acts together, and do the heavy lifting so that future generations of Americans will never have to know what it's like to have to fight immoral and illegitimate wars just to secure oil supplies?
Because if we truly want to break the shackles of our foreign oil reliance, we need to come together and embrace the solutions that are available to us at this very moment.
Our analysts have traveled the world over, dedicated to finding the best and most profitable investments in the global energy markets. All you have to do to join our Energy and Capital investment community is sign up for the daily newsletter below.
A Patriotic Endeavor
Whether it's using natural gas as a transportation fuel, utilizing our own domestic oil resources, embracing public transportation and high-speed rail, or supporting the early development of electric, hybrid, and high-mpg internal combustion vehicles...
There are enough tools in our tool shed to end our reliance on oil from countries that are hostile to the United States.
We talk about all of these options regularly here at Energy and Capital, but since I'm writing to you from an electric car conference in Texas, let me share with you some interesting data regarding the first round of mass-produced and mass-marketed electric cars that essentially launched about a year ago:
- To date, more than 34,500 all-electric Nissan LEAFs have been sold. To put that in perspective, when the Toyota Prius first launched in 1997, only 3,000 were sold — and that was for a vehicle that required no charging stations or any other kind of change in consumer behavior. Today Prius sales numbers are in excess of 3 million, with about half of those sales generated in the U.S.
Nissan has since announced it will launch 8 electric vehicles by 2014 with the goal of seeing 1.5 million by 2016.
To date, more than 21,500 Chevy Volts have been sold. (The Chevy Volt is an extended-range electric car, meaning you can drive in all-electric mode or utilize the on-board combustion engine.) The most recent data shows the average Volt owner visits a gas station once a month and typically drives at least 900 miles before refilling.
About 63 million Volt miles have been collectively driven thus far. This has resulted in a savings of more than 3.3 million gallons of gas.
Now, maybe you're not a fan of electric cars. Perhaps the limited range and early adopter price tag are not to your liking...
Maybe in another ten years or so, when electric cars are priced competitively and the technology has advanced enough to offer a 500-mile range, you might change your mind.
Who knows?
But there's no denying one simple fact: Electric cars serve as one of many solutions to our foreign oil reliance.
For that reason alone, these vehicles should be worthy of support from all Americans — on both sides of the aisle.
Quite frankly, I can't think of many things more patriotic than supporting such an endeavor.
Same goes with capitalizing on our robust bounty of natural gas...
Do you realize that today's fleet of U.S. trucks and buses consumes about 2.5 million barrels of oil per day?
Transitioning those fleets from diesel to natural gas would allow us to displace 42% of what we currently import from OPEC nations.
This is what I'm talking about when I speak of embracing solutions that can help end our reliance on foreign oil.
And I don't care if you're ready to go out and buy a Chevy Volt, or invest in high-yielding natural gas stocks operating in the United States...
There's an opportunity for everyone to do the right thing for this nation — and make a few bucks in the process.
To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...

Excellent for improving balance, this exercise will help use your abdominal and back muscles to stabilize the position of your spine and pelvis on the ball. If you keep your legs parallel, it will engage the inner thighs; and if you go for a deep crease at the hip as you lift your knee, you will begin to differentiate the movement of the leg from the hip, which is important for efficient movement.

Sit on the ball with your legs parallel, feet flat on the floor, toes pointing forward.

Sit up on your sit bones with your spine in neutral (3 natural curves are present).

Keep your pelvis balanced and stable as you lift one knee, taking the foot away from the floor.

Replace the foot on the floor. Change sides.

3 Sets.

Use this exercise to stretch the back of the shoulder and challenge your abs and legs to keep you stable on the ball.

Sit on the ball with your legs parallel, toes forward.

Extend your right arm straight in front of you.

With your left hand, grasp the underside of the upper right arm just above the elbow and gently pull your right arm across your chest.

Keep your shoulders down and your chest open.

Hold the stretch 5 to 10 seconds. Switch sides

2 Sets.

Chest lift is a great abdominal exercise. It works the upper and lower abs areas. You will also have to use your legs, and your glute (butt) muscles to stay stable.

Sit on the ball.

Walk your feet out and pull your abs in and up to roll down on the ball so that your back is supported by the ball. You will probably be a little less than parallel to the floor.

Put your hands behind your head, elbows wide.

Inhale.

Exhale: Pull your abdominal muscles in deeply to curl your head and upper spine up. Do not tuck your pelvis. Leave your shoulders down.

Inhale: Return to start position.

Repeat 3 to 6 times.

The bridge on the ball tones your abdominal, back, butt, and leg muscles. It will also help you become more conscious of your alignment.

Lie on your back with your legs in a tabletop position, calves on the ball.

Your spine is neutral (with a slight curve at the low spine). Arms are along your sides.

Keep legs parallel. Flex your feet. Send energy through your legs as you straighten them, and using your abdominal muscles to stabilize, lift your hips up so that your weight rests between your shoulder blades and your body is in a long diagonal line. The ball will roll along your legs as you lift.

Shoulders down, backs of the arms press the mat.

Hold for a breath cycle.

Fold the knees and hips to take your hips back to the mat.

3 Sets

Now you add upper body strength to this exercise ball workout.

Kneel with the ball in front of your hips.

Place your belly on the ball as you reach over to get your hands flat on the floor shoulder-width apart. Walk your hands out, body supported by the ball until the ball is under your low belly.

Stabilize your upper body -- chest open, shoulders down, belly lifted -- and raise your legs off the floor. Legs are straight and together.

Hold your plank position with your body in a long line from shoulder to ankle.

10 - 30 seconds.

Rest and repeat 2 times.

Push up builds arm and shoulder strength and requires more core strength as well.

Take your plank on the ball position (above).

Walk your body out so that the ball support is under your hips. The further out you go, the harder the exercise. Be careful.

Position your hands directly under your shoulders. Fingertips point forward.

Inhale.

Exhale: Bend your elbows back along your sides (not flared) to lower your body in a line. This is a Pilates push up arm position, not military style.

Inhale: Push into the floor to come up. Keep the integrity of the legs and torso position.

3 - 6 Sets.
