Live and direct from
Radio Row!
Station after station
with their respective hosts talkin' football. It's all happening at the Winfrey
Hotel in Hoover, the site of the 2013 SEC Media Days.
Matt Wyatt used to
quarterback the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the late '90s. Today, Wyatt sees
the game from a difference perspective. He's behind the mic with 'Supertalk'
radio from Mississippi.
"Our fans expect us
to be here,' said Wyatt.
Chris Vernon is with
92.9 FM out of Memphis.
"This is really the
first time we really start talking about coaches, players and the games coming
up," said Vernon.
It is here where Wyatt
and Vernon offer insights, predictions and anything football related. One of
the biggest topics being tossed around this week is that quarterback from Texas
A&M; Johnny Manziel's troubles off the field.
"Here you have a
Heisman winner and many people are wondering what's going on especially when
you consider what happened over the weekend when he left the Manning camp
early," said Vernon.
Because the SEC has won
the last 7 national football titles there are more radio stations covering
the event than before. In fact, Winfrey Hotel personnel had to make room beyond
the main foyer for additional stations.
"It gets bigger
every year," said Vernon.
It's only day one of the
SEC Media Days, one day before the rowdy fans arrive. That means more good
material to talk about on Radio Row.

When Albuquerque native Steven Michael Quezada moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting and comedy, he couldn't land a gig or find an agent. He thought no one wanted to talk to a skinny Chicano from Albuquerque. He wondered if he might be on his way to becoming homeless, and he sat down to write a play about this fear. Quezada's play, Homeless, was first performed in Albuquerque 10 years ago, and it's likely Quezada's commentary on society's pressures and expectations are still relevant. The play is not only written by Quezada—he's also the actor. Homeless opens on Thursday and runs through August 7. Thursday through Saturday shows are at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. $10 general, $8 students/seniors/NHCC members. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster and the NHCC box office.

If you're like many Americans, who are waiting to do their holiday shopping, you're not alone. As of now, the average person still has half their lists left to complete. In response, retailers are stepping up to meet the demands of Christmas procrastinators with shipping deals through the final stretch of the holiday season. According to www.shop.org's [2] 2012 e-holiday study, more than 43 percent of retailers who were surveyed say they will offer free expedited shipping through December 20th or 21st. If you're an extreme last minute shopper, you'll be relieved to know that 13 percent of companies are offering shipping promotions until December 22nd.

|What is the what [sound recording]
by Eggers, Dave.
A sobering story, though fictionalized, about one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. It's a journey of heartbreaking privation, brutality and hopelessness, and is told with much humanity, sincerity and even humor on occasion. The story is structured creatively, allowing the listener to learn about Achak's past life through a current trauma he is experiencing. This is a book that I recommend to Americans who have not strayed far from their own cultural doorstep. The reader does simply an awe-inspiring interpretation of the protagonist's experience, portraying the sweet naivete of this young African boy, his hopes and fears, and his fierce determination to survive. Dion Graham is one of the best readers I have listened to. posted Jan 1, 2010 at 3:01PM
|The sum of our days
by Allende, Isabel.
Isabel Allende is a wonderful author that brings her rich cultural origin to her writing. This is a beautiful story, told with plenty of humor, of her family's struggles and how they overcame daunting challenges. Great book, great author. posted Jan 1, 2010 at 2:33PM
|Inside of a dog [sound recording] : what dogs see, smell, and know
by Horowitz, Alexandra
Pick it up if you want to learn about a lot of research on many other animals as well as dogs. Quite academic in tone, I kept wanting to get through the long passages about research on other animals and back to talking about dogs. posted Jan 1, 2010 at 2:25PM

I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week - interviewed at AIG in November 2009.
It was an extensive interview process. I knew they were serious about hiring me when they ordered a series of very expensive personality and IQ tests. I did an amazing presentation but they were not sure that I could make the transition from credit card sales development to financial services since I had been with AMEX for so long.

The Magnepan Super MMG system features a pair of 4-foot-tall, 1.25-inch-thick panels, and a separate but equally svelte woofer!
Magnepan promises to redefine the sound of state-of-the-art flat-panel speakers at CES.
It's just 1.5 inches thick, but 71 high; anyway you look at it, the Magnepan 3.6/R is an amazing speaker.
Magnepan has finally, after 12 years, improved its Magneplanar 1.6 speaker, the best sub-$2,000 speaker I'd heard in 2008. Here's hoping the new Magneplanar 1.7 sounds even better.
The Audiophiliac falls in love with a $2,000 speaker that sounds better than a lot of highly regarded $10,000 speakers. It's the Magnepan MG1.6/QR
Brick and mortar dealers are fading away, but factory-direct outlets lack the expertise to fully serve their customers. Now there's a third option.
The Audiophiliac's close encounter with jazz musician Billy Drummond, he has a houseful of great hi-fi gear.
Magnepan's flat-panel speaker technology continues to evolve, and the company is just about to launch its smallest-ever speaker, the 14-inch-tall Mini Maggie.
The Audiophiliac visits Denver's Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and discovers a treasure trove of affordable goodies.
True, the NAD C 316BEE integrated amp isn't exactly feature-laden, and it's rated at a mere 40 watts per channel, but it sounds sweet!

For some vendors at the Minnesota State Fair, the sticky, sweltering weather is anything but fair -- but others who are doing a brisk bit of business say bring on the heat.
It's been feast or famine for a lot of vendors, but a few of them are earning envy for their endless lines.
"It's been crazy. It's been very difficult for us to keep up with the demand that we have," Chris Gleize told FOX 9 News. "They've been selling very quickly."
Gleize is talking about the dough-sant -- the French Meadow Bakery's version of the cro-nut, a combination of a croissant and a doughnut. So far, they've sold about 1,000 a day, mostly in the morning and evenings.
The mini-donut beer brewed by Lift Bridge Brewery for the Ballpark Café has also become a popular pull. It goes on sale at noon each day, but with a limited number of kegs, they've been rationing the brew to make sure it lasts through Labor Day.
"Today in this heat, even we lasted just about an hour," Dave Theissen said.
The frozen apple cider sold in the horticulture building has been one of the hottest sellers at a buck apiece, with between 8,000 and 12,000 sold in a day.

Northern Little League was victorious twice on Thursday night, claiming two district titles.
In minor baseball, Tyler Watkins tossed 5.1 innings of five-hit ball, striking out four, before giving way to John Runyan for the final two outs in a 3-1 win over Peach. Runyan also hit what proved to be the game-winning home run, a two-run shot in the second.
For the majors, it was another pitchers' duel, as Northern beat American, 2-1. Colby Brabston went 5.1 innings for Northern, giving up just one run on two hits and striking out 11.
Both teams now advance to the state tournament. The minors will face Martinez Evans Little League on Saturday in Peachtree City, while the majors tournament begins July 20 in Savannah.

Get ready to roll up your sleeve for a flu shot. The University of Charleston School of Pharmacy's PharmUC Patient Care Clinic is hosting flu shot clinics. They began on Monday, Oct. 28, and will continue most days through Thursday, Nov. 21.
Flu shots will be free to Medicare recipients and $25 for all others. PharmUC is located in the School of Pharmacy building on the first floor, according to a news release from the University of Charleston.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone at least six months of age receive an annual flu shot to protect against the influenza virus. People 65 or older, small children, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions such as asthma and diabetes are highly recommended to get a flu shot to avoid serious complications. "It's a minor vaccine so you should definitely come in and get it to get that prevention, rather than missing many days of work and being sick during the year," said pharmacist Krista Carpenter.
A full schedule of flu shot clinic days is listed below.

My new camera!
Just in time for K-pop Nation 2011. <3
Merry Christmas from me to you1 <3
My dad and I got into an argument just now, but that's okay, because got the last word. The slap that came hard across my face was SO WORTH IT. I mean, my cheek is still sore and throbbing, but that's okay! I won! I won the argument!
I was offended by the way he called one of our church mates a fag behind his back without having enough evidence. I mean, even if he did have enough evidence, it was still demeaning and offensive. He's not a part of the LGBTQ community and he's not close to the said church mate-maybe even if he were close to him-so it's not acceptable to me. I am bi and I felt so insulted for my church mate.
I have been a victim of discrimination and humiliation as well, being called 'fatso', 'she-pig' and 'hippo-bitch' behind my back, so I felt so much for him, who was not there and whose individuality and existence by the epithet that my dad has identified with him.
My dad has all this shit about respecting other people, especially your parents; but how could you come to respect someone who doesn't know how to respect the people around him? He's a hypocrite, isn't he?
For once in sixteen (almost seventeen) years, I have stood up to my father and WON. It feels so damn great to finally bring down the monster of the house. I feel SO PROUD of myself.
This is a milestone for me.
I am glad I was able to share it with you. :)
My late lunch. ^^
That's a plain omelette with salt and waaaay too much pepper(because I like my food with a lot of pepper) fried in butter and then I sliced a small tomato and tossed that in there as well. :)

Gift was used as appreciation/recognition of the administrative professionals at our school. I was VERY pleased with both the fair pricing and the excellent quality of the product. It was lovely to look at and also works well for the purpose for which it was designed. The customer representative I placed my order with was friendly and professional, as well a knowledgable and helpful. We had poor experiences with another similar company both with product quality and poor customer service. VERY grateful to have found your excellent company and we will use you again, as well as recommend your services to others.

Given to each team leader following the success of many recent changes. My comment to each was that it is a pleasure to toss starfish with them. Also, the fact that it is a stainless interior (keeping hot things hot) with a solid drinking lid was a big plus -- I see most everyone using their mug daily.

Balisong Or Butterfly Knives, With Their Revolving Handles, And Strong Locking Mechanisms, Have Had A Certain Mystique Since They Were First Popularized In The Early 1980's. They Were Beguilingly Simple In Construction, Looked A Little Intimidating In A User's Hand, Were Relatively Inexpensive, And There Were Many Flashy Ways To Open Them With A Few Deft Turns Of The Wrist. In Short, They Were A Knife Industry Success Story. There Was Just One Downside. In The Early 1990's, United States Customs Outlawed The Importation Of All Butterfly Knives Under, What Can Only Be Assumed To Be, An Arbitrary And Unreasonable Interpretation Of The Switchblade Act. Many U.s. States Soon Followed Suit Including California, Where Mere Possession Of A Butterfly Knife Is A Felony.
But Cold Steel Has Produced A Completely Legal Version Of The Butterfly Knife That We Call The Paradox®. Available In Two Sizes, It's Designed From The Ground Up To Specifically Mimic A Traditional Balisong Or Butterfly Knife In Every Respect But One A- It Can't Be Opened With One Hand! That's Right, The Paradox® Is Not A Switchblade, Gravity Knife, Or Assisted Opener And Can't Be Opened Without The Use Of Both Hands. So, While It Looks And Feels Like A Classic Butterfly Knife, It Isn't. It's A Legal Balisong! Its Twin Handles Feature Two Integral Springs That Are Similar To A Conventional Slip Joint Folder. They Are Designed To Rotate 180 Degrees Around The Blade's Unique Split Tang And Use Strong Opposing Spring Tension To Lock The Blade Open Or Hold It Firmly Closed. Don't Worry About It Taking Two Hands To Get It Into Action, Since Once It's Opened It Will Never Close Inadvertently. Plus, Its Locking Mechanism Is Impervious To Spine Whack And The Most Violent Stresses And Shocks Imaginable.
Every Detail Of The Paradox® Is A Testament To Cold Steel's Renowned Craftsmanship. The Leaf Shaped Blade Is Hollow Ground From Imported Japanese Aus 8a Stainless (instead Of The Cheap Steel Used By Our Competitors) And, Due To The Latest Advances In Heat Treatment, It Offers A Thin, Ultra Keen Edge That Lasts.
The Skeletonized Handles Are Cnc Machined From Solid Billets Of 6061 Aluminum (instead Of Being Cheaply Cast Out Of Zinc) And Feature A Hard-anodized Coating To Reduce Scratches And Oxidation.
If You're A Balisong Fan, But Don't Want To Take The Risk Of Being Arrested, The Paradox® Is A Terrific Alternative. Clip It To Your Waistband Or Pocket Where It Screams "custom Hand Made Balisong".
The Cold Steel - 5 1/2inch Paradox is a quality addition to the Cold Steel lineup. For more great deals on Pocket Knives by Cold Steel, please browse our Cold Steel Knives page.

Horror-tastic Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir heading to 3DS on July 29th
Will Wilson
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir
Koei Tecmo
[enlarge screenshot]
3 more pictures >
If there's one survival-horror franchise that deserves an HD reworking or just simply another entry, it's the excellent
Project Zero / Fatal Frame
series of games.
While that's unlikely to happen any time soon, 3DS-owning fans of scary games should mark July 29th in their calendars, for that's when Tecmo Koei will be releasing
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir
into the European wilds.
The game, a spiritual successor to the
Fatal Frame
series, transforms the 3DS's camera into the fabled "Camera Obscura": a camera that can detect and destroy ghastly spirits lurking in the everyday world.
Instead of fighting against ghosts in a nightmarish Japanese village, as in
Fatal Frame
, you do battle with spectres in
Spirit Camera
that exist in the real world - sneaking up behind you and warping through walls to claw at your face.
Terrifying prospect
Spirit Camera
comes with a full Story mode supported by a separate AR book called the Purple Diary, as well as a Challenge mode that sees you face off against the various nasties you'll encounter in the main game.
It'll be interesting to see just how effectively
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir
can deliver the scares - AR games so far have hardly been the most terrifying titles around.
We'll no doubt find out (from behind the sofa) when the game launches on July 29th.

Forefront: Critics of too-big-to-fail financial institutions often argue that the government is essentially giving those institutions a subsidy. If true, can this implicit subsidy be considered an expenditure of taxpayer dollars, money that could be used for something else?
Thomson: If the government is giving someone something of value, this is the same thing as an expenditure. In the case of too-big-to-fail (TBTF), the government is providing an option to the stakeholders of TBTF firms to assist them in times of trouble, and doing so free of charge. Private entities (such as insurance companies and hedge funds) would charge a fair value for such options. By not doing so, the government is forgoing revenues that could be used for other purposes. So yes, the implicit subsidy (or any subsidy) is equivalent to a tax expenditure—like investment tax credits, fair housing credits, and so on.
Forefront: Of course, size is only one consideration with systemically important institutions. You've written in the past about other features —contagion, correlation, complexity, and concentration. Is shrinking these institutions the overarching goal of a policy that would make them cover their implicit subsidy?
Thomson: Yes, the point of my paper is that size alone does not determine whether a financial company is systemically important (or TBTF)—it's much more complex than that. Charging financial companies a fee that equates to the fair value of the TBTF subsidy should result in smaller and less risky firms. Moreover, charging TBTF firms the cost of the subsidy would internalize the costs of externalities (the spillover effects) associated with their decisions. This should produce less risky financial companies and reduce their systemic impact.
Forefront: If you're a depositor at one of these TBTF banks, you are protected from losses. So why does that matter if we're talking about insured institutions? Or, in economic terms, through which channels is the TBTF subsidy showing up?
Thomson: There is an extensive literature on federal deposit guarantees and the subsidy associated with them. When we discuss the problem of TBTF, the problem becomes one of subsidies associated with implicit and explicit deposit guarantees. The subsidy associated with explicit deposit guarantees is not specific to the size of an institution—it's simply the difference between their value and the deposit insurance premium. The implicit deposit insurance subsidy is essentially the TBTF subsidy. This occurs when financial system supervisors don't close a bank that is insolvent and impose losses on uninsured depositors and other creditors. It can also happen when supervisors handle the bank failure in a way that extends protection to all liabilities. TBTF institutions boost the value of these subsidies by increasing the risk they incur in the course of seeking returns on their investments.
Forefront: OK, so how big is the subsidy? Can you put a number to it?
Thomson: We don't have a number that economists would agree on. But some academics are actively working on measuring the subsidy. Three economists at New York University [Professors Viral Acharya, Robert Engle, and Matthew Richardson] are working on measuring the subsidy by trying to calculate the costs that systemically important companies impose on the financial system. This is one of the more promising approaches, and one way to get at the subsidy.
Ed Kane [Boston College] and some of his coauthors are trying to measure the TBTF subsidy using an option-pricing approach. They are trying to measure the subsidy by valuing the taxpayer "put"—the value associated with being able to put the losses onto taxpayers. In a sense, the same kind of work is underway at various regulatory agencies, at central banks, and at the Bank for International Settlements in the design and calibration of the Basel III international capital standards. There is a capital surcharge for systemic risk—an indirect way of pricing it. Calibrating the capital surcharge implicitly requires measuring the TBTF subsidy.
Also, conceptually, the stock market value of a systemically important financial company should price the stream of TBTF subsidies—something Ed Kane would call "government-contributed capital." So we would need a model that could separate out the government-contributed capital from the franchise value of the firm.
Forefront: Economists don't agree, but is there a ballpark figure?
Thomson: Using some numbers on the annual systemic risk premium, you can get a number in excess of $45 billion. If you assume that the value of the TBTF subsidy is the capitalized value of the annual systemic risk premium, then you get numbers between $450 billion and $900 billion. But these are just back-of-the-envelope estimates.
Forefront: And I take it that getting a more precise number is important because that's the amount regulators can then properly price as the capital surcharge. This might provide the government's budget some protection. On the other hand, have you or others thought about what might happen to these institutions if we were able to start charging them accurately to offset their subsidy?
Thomson: If institutions were to be charged a premium for the full value of their estimated implicit TBTF guarantee, then I suspect they would respond by shrinking and becoming less complex to some extent (at least the very largest and most complex). How much is the question.
Forefront: If institutions do respond in these ways, would you say that the main reason these institutions grew to such large size and complexity in the first place was to capture the benefits of the subsidy?
Thomson: Well, it would be consistent with that reason, but you could also say that the existence of the implicit subsidy enabled these companies to become larger and more complex than otherwise would have been the case.
Forefront: Is it fair to say that even if we can put a number on the implicit subsidy, the ultimate costs imposed on the rest of us are a lot larger?
Thomson: In a recent paper, a couple of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation economists claim to have measured the TBTF subsidy. They find it is on the order of 20 basis points in terms of lower funding costs. But yes, there are externalities associated with the TBTF subsidy that impose costs on the rest of us. So TBTF institutions respond to the subsidy by increasing their risk through either engaging in riskier activities or increasing their leverage. While these actions may be privately optimal, the response to the TBTF subsidy is not socially optimal, as it can pose huge risks to the financial system. That's why the ultimate social costs of the subsidy are much larger than the 20-basis-point private benefit that some have found.

Two arrests have been made in a murder that left an Atlanta community hurt and angry. David McReynolds was shot to death in his Grant Park neighborhood in July.The shooting death of the longtime Grant Park resident outraged those in the community. "It affected me very deeply, both because of the proximity of the murder to my house to the senselessness of the crime," said Jackson Faw. McReynolds, 54, was walking home along Grant Park Place, but never made it. There were no eyewitnesses and, for months, no leads. Soon after the crime, McReynolds wife told FOX 5 that the man family members called "Bubba" walked to the store each day for a lottery ticket. She believes word spread that he had hit a big number, and she believes someone followed him from the store. In October, Atlanta investigators arrested 23-year-old Andre Byrd in connection with the killing, but this community knew there were more suspects out there and raised money for a reward for information."The monetary reward loosened lips. I am 100 percent confident of that," Faw said. The money spurred interest, leads for investigators and eventually more arrests. Dedrick Hale, 18, and Quinterious Hogans, 20, now face murder, assault and attempted armed robbery charges. "I've shed a lot of tears for David McReynolds," Faw said. But now, Faw said he feels sorrow for the families of the young men arrested and accused in the killing, knowing nothing will bring the Vietnam vet who studied the Koran back.
It's unclear if anyone has collected the $4,000 reward.

Campaign Contributions going to the Relatives of Congressmen
Family members of US Congressmen are being given money directly out of campaign contributions and public action committees, claims Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. A 347 page report released by the group shows that over $5 million in campaign contributions have gone to family trips, paying babysitters, and high salaries for family members. While these activities may be legal they certainly are unethical. It gives the impression that these Congressmen are only interested in enriching themselves and their families, rather than leading the country in the right direction.

Justin Jackson informed Inside Carolina on Monday evening that he has committed to the Tar Heels. The 6-foot-7 wing from Spring, Texas - a Top 10 recruit in the class of 2014 - officially visited Chapel Hill this past weekend.
Jackson, who plays for Houston HCYA, chose the Tar Heels over Arizona, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Virginia and Washington.
North Carolina began recruiting Jackson more than two years ago, with assistant coach Steve Robinson leading the recruitment throughout 2011. Roy Williams watched Jackson during last year's spring and summer circuit and offered him a scholarship after those viewings, in August, before making trips to his high school games in December and January and then a return trip for an in-home visit on Jan. 16 of this year.
Jackson's official visit was his third trip to Chapel Hill. He attended the UNC-Duke game on March 5, 2011 and 'Late Night with Roy' on Oct. 12, 2012.
"The strengths of Justin Jackson's game are his IQ and his ability to hit mid-range jumpers, runners and floaters," said Tim Schumacher, head coach of Houston Hoops, whose 17-under AAU team has had Jackson since his freshman year. "People labeled him as a shooter, but those are the No. 1 strengths of his game."
"He's really developed all of his game, as far as gaining strength, being a better rebounder and better defender. He's very smart and always in the right spot… always on balance and plays great position defense. That allows him to be a good defender."
Jackson was a member of the 2011 USA U16 National Team that won the FIBA Americas Championship gold medal. He is ranked the No. 2 small forward and No. 10 prospect overall in the junior class by Scout.com.
"North Carolina's system and the way it goes about its business every day – he would fit right in with those guys because of his demeanor, his mindset and his mentality," Schumacher said. "I think he's a great fit for them."
Jackson is UNC's second commitment from the class of 2014, joining Orlando (Fla.) Lake Highland point guard Joel Berry.

Mackie S525 Dual 15" 2-Way Passive LoudspeakerThe Mackie S525 is a passive loudspeaker with two 15" LF drivers and a wide-dispersion 90° x 50° high-frequency horn. It is an 8 ohm cabinet and has a peak handling capacity of 2400 watts.The S525 is made of wood which, aside from being sturdy and all-natural, provides the best-possible response, extended low-frequency output without annoying rattles or vibrations. Plus, substantial internal bracing provides a more rigid enclosure, reducing nasty vibrations that could negatively affect sound quality.Lastly, the entire acoustic chamber is air-displaced with adiabatic acoustic batting. This dampens internal midrange reflections so they can't bleed back through the LF transducer cone and reach your ears, which causes inferior enclosures to sound "boxy." This, along with LF porting, also allows Mackie S500 enclosures to deliver huge sound in a more compact design than otherwise possible.The full-range S525 also features a highly-durable PVC vinyl covering that protects against the occasional ding or spilled drink. They also have protective edge bumpers. If you had roadies, these bumpers would keep them from messing your speakers up when they knock against a door jam or the floor of a beat-up van. As it is, they will prevent you from doing the same thing.The bumpers also have built-in cups for stacking multiple full-range loudspeakers along with sturdy integrated side handles with an ergonomic design that's great for transportation.

But please do your best to reach out for help. Educate close friends/family by sharing information found in reliable medical resources and in these posts. Ask forgiveness for the "damage" you wrote about. Just say "I'm sorry," without trying to explain. Trust me, that goes farther than trying to make people understand why you did whatever it was.
Please, share caring for your son with his father and/or others, to lessen your stress, so that you can be a better mother in smaller measures, hopefully without ending all contact until you are more stable.
Please read, if you haven't already, all of the many pages of posts. That helped me a lot, especially when I was afraid I was losing my mind. It helps immensely to know we are not alone in our fears and in those awful symptoms. I took the advice - vitamins (B-complex, fish oil, E, etc.), lots of water, exercise, eating and sleeping right, etc. - and it made a big difference. I told my doctor about the intensity of the symptoms, and in my case, a tiny dose of Prozac was prescribed short-term to help lessen the severity of symptoms.
I also prayed, a lot.
I wish you all the best. Hang in there.View Thread
As for the doctor visits, I thought they were a waste of time, too, until I found out that doctors use observation to diagnose more than we think. Faces show a lot, and not just happy/sad/angry. There is a subtle change in the muscles, causing a "flat" appearance. Other physical cues tell them a lot more than we realize. So do not discount going to a doctor. And Please read previous posts - there is some very good advice in some of them which really helped me when I first stopped Effexor back in August.View Thread

Your decision to provide 4 oz. portions rather than 6 has worked out very well for me and I am delighted with this "new" combo pack.
"Petite Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon & Halibut Combo - 4 oz Portions"
John Hanagan on 4/19/2014 6:23:59 PM
Review: Great taste, no fishy odor, and just the right portion size
"Petite Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon & Halibut Combo ... wonderful"
Ray on 4/17/2014 4:04:00 PM
Review: The 4 oz portions are perfect for my appetite, and the quality of the salmon and halibut is superb. Their fillets taste as good as the fresh salmon and halibut that I ate when I lived in Alaska.
I also like that the Styrofoam containers are recyclable through Vital Choice's Vital Green program. Quality and a commitment to the environment have definitely impressed me.
"I love these products"
Janet & James Faulkner on 4/11/2014 6:27:40 PM
Review: The Salmon and Halibut are the best tasting fish we have ever eaten. We have bought them in the past and recommend them to our friends. It is comforting to know that they are wild harvested and mercury free.

Thanks to Meg the Magnificent I have been the proud owner of the TofuXPress for going on a month now.
Preface: I have been aching for one of these bad boys for ever since I went vegetarian over a year ago and vegan nearly a year ago. I thought time and time again I would grab one, but could not afford it with the debt pay I've been trying to kill. (That said, if I totaled the cost of all the paper towels I'd wasted I'm pretty sure I could have bought this out right). Either way, Meg was a life saver here.
I had done a lot of research about which tofu press I would end up with, but the TofuXPress is by far the winner based on reading reviews and from the written description. How it would pan out when put to the test in my kitchen? Well, here we go.
Ease of use: 5 star
It's brilliantly easy to use. I mean, you don't even need to read the instructions (which is always my favorite kind of device). There are a few recipes in the included pamphlet, but to be honest I haven't tried any of them. Other than that you really just plop the tofu block in and let it presssss.
Effectiveness: 5 star
Magic. It's magic. This piece of equipment is magic. I have used to press tofu, but additionally my homemade seitan (that I keep refrigerated in a broth) is no problem for this baby too! What used to cost me nearly a half a roll of quality paper towel is now handled with this, and it goes without saying this is infinitely better than the "paper-towel-and-pot-with-water" method. It also doubles as a marinating container with a plastic lid that attaches unobtrusively to the bottom. How much better can it be?
Overall: 5 star
I cannot speak to the other brands I've linked here or that you might find on the internet. I have no place to say one way or the other, but what I can say is that this is worth the money (even if it seems like a lot (seriously, total what you spend in paper towels and then realize that this is still superior in execution)) and for any tofu eater the result of this pressed block will make for the best tofu dishes you have ever eaten. Likelihood to recommend to a friend? 100%! ;)
Additionally: I've added a few photos of the device itself and a few dishes I've made with it since it's arrived. Enjoy!4 comments

After weeks of exhilarating, yet exhausting travel through Indonesia, I recommend pampering yourself at the end of the journey at a place like Maya Ubud. The resort is set seamlessly among the lush jungles and rice terraced slopes of Bali, near the town of Ubud. Maya Ubud's tranquil grounds accompany the massages and poolside lounging perfectly, so all your aches and pains melt away. Although it is tough to pry away from the beautiful gardens and multiple infinity pools, Ubud offers many attractions just minutes away. Ubud is the scene of gorgeous hindu temples, Balinese dance performances, walks through the mind blowing rice terraces and dynamite cuisine. If that's not enough, the nearby rivers and volcano allow you to indulge in more intense activities, such as white water rafting and predawn treks to the volcanic summit.http://www.mayaubud.com/
This is what I would call the perfect place to start or end time in Bali or better yet it appears this could the the destination!
Hard to peel yourself away from the incredibly lush resort and activities offered on site - yoga in the mornings, amazing massages and just walking around the paths through the jungle and along the river. The front desk will help you escape however, and call any outside company you wish for a variety of activities in the area - cooking class, cycling tours, hiking treks and more, just ask!

The Edmonton Oilers are flat out loaded on RW. It's crazy, to the point where you'd have to think someone is moving to the portside at training camp.
- Ales Hemsky 15:25/1.57
- Jordan Eberle 14:24/3.08
- Teemu Hartikainen 12:59/1.36
- Ryan Jones 12:06/1.46
- Linus Omark 11:41/1.10
- Lennart Petrell 8:29/0.83
Lots to talk about here. Eberle's 3.08/60 is #2 overall among forwards with 40 or more games played this season. Hemsky's is poor based on his own past. The funny thing is that math (if I'm reading it right) is screaming for a correction with both players. I'd lay odds Hemsky>Eberle in 5×5/60 in 12-13 if 83 stays healthy. Ryan Jones is #3 on the list, but with Nailer coming that won't wash, and of course the organization signed Lennart Petrell for another dizzying winter.
- Ryan Jones 2:28
- Lennart Petrell 1:07
Oilers had an improved PK this past season
- Jordan Eberle 3:00/4.77
- Ales Hemsky 2:08/2.88
- Linus Omark 1:45/0.00
- Ryan Jones 0:51/5.40
Nice number from Eberle–59th best in the NHL for forwards playing in 40 or more games. Again Hemsky displays a poorer than expected number, we should expect better. Jones has a good number here too.
- Jordan Eberle's wowy is a walking advertisement for an RNH-Ebs marriage til the end of time.
- Ales Hemsky has some solid matches in Horcoff, Gagner, Smyth and most of the defensemen.
- Ryan Jones and Ryan Smyth played well together.
- Lennart Petrell's signing tells us the Oilers have never seen this graph.
- Teemu Hartikainenand the Nuge looked nice in a small sample size.
- Linus Omark worked well with Paajarvi, Horcoff and Petrell in small sample sizes. He will be burned as a witch.
Hemksy pulls a good number here, and Eberle is coming along. Jones had his best season and Paajarvi had some nice things. Petrell is Finnish, so I can't say anything negative but these numbers don't imply goodness.
Coach Krueger stapled Ryan Jones' ass to the pressbox in an early salvo, and with Yakupov on the team there's going to be some shifting. I suspect one of Eberle, Hemsky or Yakupov will move to LW and play behind Hall on the 2line. I think we've established that Nuge-Ebs and Gagner-Hall are a good match, so a third line featuring Horcoff-Smyth-Hemsky is possible and of course the Russian Yakupov will find his way onto one of those trio's. Interesting. Hartikainen probably gets the push as the 9th name, but as we'll see there are other candidates.

Voters will choose a President on November 6th, and whether it is Governor Mitt Romney or President Barack Obama in the White House in January, there will be an impact on your bottom line.
Telemus Capital Partners breaks down what each candidate is proposing and how you can maximize your investments.
Refinance Debt
Inflation is a debtors friend, you can pay back today's borrowing with increasingly worthless dollars. Consider refinancing your mortgage, car and student loans at today's low rates.
Shift Income
If you can shift income from 2013 into 2012 do it. For those people who turned 70 ½ in 2012 - think about taking your distribution in 2012 even though you don't have to do it until the first quarter in 2013.
Lock-in Gains Now
The capital gain and dividend tax rates are probably going to be higher. The market might be poised for a slight correction so we would look to take some profits before the end of the year. Sell some of your winners today.
Secure Health Insurance
Without Obamacare self insurance especially for pre-existing illness will cost more. Look for opportunities to lock into plans before rates go higher. Try to find long term care policies that are affordable. They are quickly becoming very expensive.
Hold Off On Retirement
If you can wait a few more years until you retire you will probably have lower income taxes which means more of what you earn can go towards savings for retirement. Even though we might have lower taxes now we still will probably face higher taxes in some form down the road to pay down debt so it makes sense to try to accumulate more while you are still able to work.
Delay Gains and Income to 2013
A Romney win would benefit someone who can delay taking income this year and push it to 2013 with lower income taxes and dividend taxes. The market also is expected to rally which would allow investors to delay sales and push their realized gains out to the following tax year.

You can only change one of these things, and it's not easy, and you'll probably fail the first 38,000 times, but by eventually changing it you indirectly change all of the others. After figuring that out, the only remaining problem is figuring out what you want to change and why.

There are two things that make Zion National Park as unique as it is: the great red sandstone cliffs and the Virgin River.
Please click the images to view larger versions.
I made a few images using a low angle perspective that would allow me to capture both the river and the red walls, and that usually meant getting some green trees in there too. I would love to come back here in the fall when the leaves turn colour to get some yellows in the mix.
There are some great hiking trails in the park, but you don't have to go to any extreme effort to make images like these. There is a shuttle bus that takes you from one end of the park to the other (which makes it very convenient to not have to find parking everywhere) and you will see scenes like these at every stop just steps from the road.
I have to admit. That's wonderful. Thanks for informing about the hiking trail. I'm fond of hiking. Yeah!!
WOW! Beautiful images Anne. This place has been and will be on my bucket list.
The rich greens against the red sandstone are a lovely combination. I like the way you've handles the water – that silky feel somehow adds to the feeling of peace and quiet and 'getting away from it all' with time to spare.

See which brands experienced the biggest change in brand value in 2010.
Find out which sectors performed best from 2008 to 2010.
What makes you optimistic about the economy?
Recently, major indicators have shown that the global economy is recovering. Consumers are regaining confidence and sales are picking up. Growth rates in China and other emerging markets such as Brazil have bolstered this trend. Even the U.S., an important market for BMW, is back on track. As a result, the BMW Group just raised its forecasts for 2010.
In this "age of responsibility" how do you see your customer changing?
Today and tomorrow's customers demand not just products and brands. They are looking for rational and emotional benefits. They desire brands that offer orientation, and real values they can identify with. Our customers don't just want to be customers. They are looking for relationships with brands they can trust. Moreover, some of our customers have redefined their meaning of premium. For them, premium is no longer about bold status. Today's consumers are seeking out unique experiences and brands that are in line with their own personal beliefs. Even though this phenomenon can mainly be observed in western countries, as a premium car manufacturer, we need to address this issue globally.
How do you see the marketing of brands changing in the next five to 10 years?
Customer needs are the key. The beliefs and needs of the customer have to be the basis for all marketing initiatives. During the last few years, one-way communication changed into a dialogue. Customers do not only consume anymore, they want to interact. They are very well informed, are brisk in their decisions, and are becoming more and more unpredictable. This development is changing the way brands are marketing their products. Digital media channels will continue to gain importance, be it for communication, sales, customer intelligence or customer relations.
What was the most unpredicted factor that affected how you manage your brand in the past decade. In the past year?
Clearly the world economic crisis has been a big challenge for all of us. The sharp drop in sales and gloomy economic outlook led to a lot of uncertainty. However, we chose not to join the pessimists, but to see it as a chance to redefine the BMW brand. We now focus more on the brand attributes that are most relevant to our customers and those that differentiate us from our competitors. Consequently, this led to a global realignment of our marketing communications, which has sharpened the BMW image.
How does your brand influence the decisions made at your organization?
The brand is the basis for everything we do at BMW. It influences the development and the design of our products. It is reflected in all communication, and guides the behavior of our employees.
How have you adapted to the impact of technology and social media?
BMW has always been a leader in new technologies and we heavily engage on social media platforms. Dedicated teams are active members in social networks, provide relevant content, design apps, and search for new ways of interaction. Moreover, a completely new and interactive BMW website will be launched soon.
How much of a role does corporate citizenship play in managing your brand?
To quote our CEO, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, "in the future, premium will be defined by sustainability." At BMW, we follow a holistic approach to sustainability that includes clean production sites, HR initiatives, social and cultural commitments, as well as the development of alternative and environmentally friendly solutions. These measures are consistently being extended and examined, and will continue to be essential to brand building in the future.
Uwe Ellinghaus is Director Brand Steering, Brand Management BMW and Marketing Services since February 2010. After studying business administration in Germany and the U.S., he started his career in strategic market and communication research, working for the research company GfK AG in Nuremberg, Germany. Alongside this job, he attained a doctorate degree in marketing. Afterwards, he entered the BMW Group where he first worked as a consultant for brand strategy within the BMW Group's central marketing department in Munich. He was appointed General Manager Market and Trend Research in 2001 with the global responsibility for all market research activities for BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce. In 2004, he was appointed Marketing Director BMW UK Ltd. with the responsibility for all marketing activities of the BMW brand in the UK. From June 2008 until January 2010 he was appointed Vice President BMW Brand Communication in Munich.
