Here's something that may warm you up during this extreme cold weather, relaxing in a 'sauna' may be good for your heart. A study out of Finland found that men who use a sauna on a regular basis are less likely to die from heart disease.
Amazingly extreme weather in the United States kills 2,000 people a year. Most are from floods and tornadoes but heat waves and cold snaps take their fair share too. Of 10,000 weather related deaths between from 2006 to 2010, excessive cold accounted for two-thirds of deaths and excessive heat accounts for one-third.
The NBA Finals start Thursday and it's a repeat of last year's final with the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs. The Heat won last year's series in seven games, this year they open in San Antonio as the Spurs had the best record in the NBA.
With the NBA's Eastern and Western Conference Finals in full swing how are the odds makers looking at the teams? In the East Miami has a 2-1 game lead over Indiana after coming back from a 15 point deficit in Game 3 to win.
It's a cold day in the studio when you walk in to find out you've most likely run out of propane and it's 64 degrees at work.
Now, mind you, I Ieft my warm and comfy heated mattress AND my heated seats in my Volkswagen to come to work and sit in 64 DEGREES...
Everyone has a tight budget this winter, whether it is for wood or oil. I was trying to figure out what things I can do to save myself some money this year and it hit me.
There's an APP for everything, right? And I found one easy to use that will definitely heat my home more efficiently this winter. With a little teamwork, Chad and I will have that house air tight!
The summer heat and humidity have settled in Central Maine and it truly has become the dog days of summer. With the increased heat and humidity have come an increased amount of calls to local police of dogs left in cars with the windows up.

Maker of popular beer proposes new buildingMay 06,2014The Associated Press
STOWE - A Vermont brewery that makes a high-demand beer has applied for a construction permit for a new building in Stowe.
The Alchemist brewery in Waterbury makes Heady Topper. It closed its retail shop in November, citing too much traffic.
The Burlington Free Press reports the site involves buying land from Stoweflake Mountain Resort and Spa.
The application calls for a 14,600-plus-square-foot commercial building for beer production and a retail outlet on a proposed 4-acre site.
The business owners say Heady Topper will continue to be produced at the Waterbury brewery, but the double IPA in the 16-ounce cans will be sold at the retail outlet/visitor center that is part of the proposed project.
Seasonal beers and other brews would be produced at the Stowe brewery.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

Album Spotlight
Ecclesiast - EP by Ecclesiast is in the album spotlight for July. Released earlier this year on Sancrosanct Records, the EP features five "IN YOUR FACE" tracks of relentless metalcore awesomeness! On May 26, Ecclesiast released their single "High Horse" through HM Magazine, where they were featured as an 'HM Exclusive Artist' and received rave reviews from various other magazines and publications, beginning to make their mark through marketing, and media. The four piece band based out of St. Charles county Missouri strive for excellence, not only through their electric performances, but through the heartfelt message and music they put out. Pursuing a professional look, with a hometown feel, they are fully dedicated to what they do, through the passion, and authenticity of leading the listeners and audience alike to Christ through driven lyrics with a backbone.
Indie Spotlight
Show Your Teeth by Gorilla Warfare is in the indie spotlight for July. This is the band's third release and one of their heaviest and features 8 songs of crushing Hardcore and Metal. Continuing to blend and incorporate both genres of heavy music into their own sound these songs will appeal to fans of bands like Hatebreed, Slayer, Ringworm, Integrity, and Sheer Terror. While most bands that write songs about War can only write about what they see in movies or read in the news Gorilla Warfare is able to write from first hand experience as all members have served in the Military and are combat veterans that have lived through the surreal trials of War. This album features a double guitar attack, pounding drums, galloping bass and all out vocal assault that will resonate with fans of Heavy music.

Film Review
The Boss of It All
Danish satire deconstructs office humor for devilish fun
By Devin D. O'Leary
Danish director Lars von Trier is something of a prankster. Although best known for drafting the "back to basics" film ethos Dogme '95 and for creating controversial films like Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark, von Trier has always had his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. Occasionally, the joke gets too rancid (as it does in von Trier's scabrous "USA trilogy" films Dogville and Manderlay); but make no mistake, von Trier does everything with a knowing wink. Nowhere has this been more evident than with the filmmaker's latest effort, the seemingly light, self-mocking corporate comedy The Boss of It All.
Film Review
El Cantante
The beat goes on (and on and on and on) in repetitive biopic of Latin idol
By Devin D. O'Leary
In his first above-the-title starring role in a feature film, Latin singing sensation Marc Anthony spends roughly 50 percent of his screen time on stage singing. Which is about 50 percent less than he probably should, given the musical segments of El Cantante are about the only ones that have a ring of truth to them.

"Code Monkeys" on G4
By Devin D. O'Leary
Television, as you may have surmised from the title of this column, is not the most intellectual of mediums. There's nothing stopping it from being so; but it's been the outlet of so much stupid crap for so long that stupid crap is pretty much its forte. When you think about it in those terms, TV does stupid amazingly well.

If not cranking then suspect battery especially if near 5 years of age, check cable connections for tight and clean of corrosion, if all that is good and getting correct voltage to the starter then the starter is suspect.
Have checked and replaced everything you mentioned still the problem does not solve that is why i am seeking help from you.

A fast-paced story sbout a group of teenagers with extraordinary skills, this book will keep you entertained til the final paragraph. There's a few spelling and grammer issues, but still a goid story. I'll be reading more by this author.
This YA novel reminded me a bit of the Marvel 'X-Men' series in that it's about a group of 'gifted' teens who are sent to a special school to help them learn to hone their powers. The main character, Laura, suffers from terrible migraine headaches and during one of these episodes she sees a horrific vision which then comes to pass. Apparently she can predict the future and so she is sent to the school so that she can learn to control her visions and potentially avert disasters from happening. There are lots of interesting characters at the school, and of course, Laura and her friends begin to suspect that everything is not above board. Without giving it away, danger and intrigue ensue. There is also a healthy injection of sexuality in that Laura and one of the orderlies are attracted to one another, culminating in a relationship. This aspect of the book may not sit well with some, but I think most teen girls will enjoy this book. It's part of a series, too, which is always popular with teens.
Personally i thought this book was awesome
A really good book that I flew right threw. Cant wait to read the next one.
Thus story had some goo potentia but te writting quality is terrible. The plot is constantly knterrupted by lustful teenage hormlnes that have nithjng to wth the story itself. And why is veryone so madly in love wit the main character not to mention so emotional?
I liked most of the characters in this book. My main problem was the large amount of typos which annoys me to no end. The other problem is having been a teenage girl and a bit boy crazy I still never thought of sex this much! This girls thoughts and the frequency of them would have been better suited to one of the male characters. Since the girl is 18 I don't have too much of an objection to her affair with the orderly Laden. Now I am going to start book 2.
Where is book 3?
Just wish that the other books were free too so that I could read them!!!!!!!!!!
The notetoselfs made me want to punch the athor they were very irritating
The story line was neat. It kept me reading and i am curious to read the other ones. It can get a bit confusing and all over the place , but i think after reading the following books it can make it all fall into place. Overall, not a bad read!
Intriguing novel with interesting plot. This appears to be a series, and I will probably buy it. The majority of characters appear to be teen/ early twenties but this is a novel that has some sensual scenes hat is not appropriate for pre- teens or some teens.
Wanted to like this as it seemed to have an interesting concept, altho, not an original one (reminded me of Xmen). But even without the needed editing this was a bit all over the place. The authors concept of time is crazy - you think the story spreads out over a length of time to substantiate the closeness of the kids bond but as its written its only a matter of a couple weeks at most. And what kind of parents ship their kid off with strangers after one vision? With the dialog and reactions between the kids it should be aimed at young 'tween readers but due to the constant sexual references/events its not appropriate. But seems to silly for YA readers or adults. The story ends somewhat odd and abrupt, forcing you to buy the next books. Unfortunately, after reading this one I have no intetest in following this silly story further
I do wish a better job proofreading had been done. Too much reliance on spell checking perhaps. The story itself is really interesting and I don't think this author should have trouble finding a publisher! The book is really interesting in the abilities it shows and the way the people with those abilities handle themselves. No real superiority over others; just helpfulness. Thanks for a great read.
Way to confusingly all over the place

Customer Reviews
Great concept but . . .
Controls will drive you crazy they are so frustrating. Impossible to steer tank, turn turret, and shoot all at once. Would suggest dropping the sliders on each side (for vehicle control) for push buttons for forward and back. The siders are very awkward. An option to have the turret train and shoot automatically would help. As it is, the best tactic is to sit still, if you can, in order to concentrate on shooting. There is a lot of good stuff to this design. I would like to see it develop less as a toy and more as a tactical game.
Good game
Good game stop complaining about the speed there tanks but on quick battle plz put on allies too.
I can't even go backwards! I can't shoot while on the move. The turret keeps moving when I want it to stop. The tanks are to slow and the reload time is long!

Against the Odds, An Egyptian Alternative
In Egypt, popular music is dominated by slickly packaged songs and videos that critics complain are formulaic and uninspired. But a few bands are providing an alternative.
One is Black Theama, which combines Nubian rhythms with R&B, hip-hop, reggae and other African-influenced sounds, with lyrics sung in colloquial Egyptian Arabic. With nearly no budget, the band still manages to pack every show with adoring fans who seem to have memorized every song.
Getting to hear Black Theama isn't easy, even for Cairenes with a taste for music found off the beaten path. The band refuses to work inside the commercial music industry, preferring to painstakingly save money to produce its own recordings one at a time, with the help of friends and supporters. As such, it has almost no records to speak of, and its shows are not heavily advertised.
Until the band's financial situation improves, Black Theama fans have to content themselves with seeking out irregularly scheduled live shows. Which they do — Black Theama's avid underground following regularly packs venues, where fans sing along with songs apparently learned from low-fidelity amateur live recordings passed around on the Internet.
The song "Sheraton" is one of the band's most popular. Its lyrics, sung in a shorthand that assumes a lot of local knowledge, describe an early-morning Cairo scene as ordinary Egyptians walk home to their poor neighborhoods, shuffling past the tourist-filled towers of the five-star hotels that line the Nile River.
Nubian actor Amir Salah Eddin is one of three singers who front the band. He says the group takes its name, "Black Theme," seriously, as it does its goal of avoiding standard pop-music cliches in its lyrics.
What Black Theama does provide is very personal, street-level views of Egyptian life. Singer Mohammed Abdo, who met Salah Eddin through theater work, says they try to celebrate the black experience in Egypt through their music.
"It means being special, and being dark-skinned in Egypt is always connected to the South," Abdo says. "And people from the South have their own character, their own culture — even their tone of voice is different."
Ancient Nubia included much of northern Sudan and southern Egypt, and dark-skinned Egyptians are invariably referred to as Nubians. Traditionally, they were given menial or servants' jobs.
But Black Theama doesn't want to be mistaken for a protest band. A song called "Magnoon," Egyptian for "crazy," features one of the group's most popular musicians, violinist Mohammed Samy. For now, the only available version is an amateur recording posted by a fan on YouTube.
Amir Salah Eddin says young Egyptians are familiar with alternative bands from other countries, and that they're eager to embrace a homegrown group that bypasses the music industry to speak directly to them.
"When they found a band here that achieves this, they said, 'Yeah, we should support this band,'" Salah Eddin says.
While mainstream Egyptian singers may croon about starry-eyed love and teenage heartbreak, a character in a Black Theama song responds to his fiancee's question about marriage by asking: "Why not ask me about the corrupt politicians who stole my dreams? Or about wealthy countries with children sleeping under bridges?"
Salah Eddin says Black Theama's amazingly loyal fans, who flock to concerts that cost around $2 to attend, have reinforced his desire to pursue this so-far unprofitable style of music-making.
"We are not into this to be famous, because if we had wanted to be famous, we could have done one of the... just a 'Nubi' song — we dress like Nubians and we do the Nubian dance and we could have been famous," he says. "But we are trying to do the thing that we believe in, the thing that goes straight to the heart of people."
Music critics say it's not clear that Black Theama could have achieved instant fame by sticking to traditional Nubian folksongs. But it is clear that the band has tapped into a hunger among young Egyptians for something that feels authentic to them today.

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with this JAVA assingment we got at school and a friend recommended this forum for me... It's pretty basic, but I'm a bit , becouse we did this stuff like 5 months ago, and I have forgotten most of it...at first I tought it was a GUI assignment, so I did everything in GUI, but then the teacher said we're not supposed to do it that way.
Anyway...I've asked her for help, but she said, just do this and that and you add this and that's it ..I have no idea what she was talking about.
We're using Jens Editor and we're supposed to use ReadKb to get input from the user and than display information.
So this is the assingment:
It's got two parts.
Create a class using Java that calculates and displays the gross and net pay of an employee based on the data entered by the user.
When designing your class ensure you address the following points:
* Name the class EmployeePayroll
* The class is to contain fields to record the employees first name, last name, ID, hours worked, hourly pay rate, gross pay, and net pay.
* The class is to include a default constructor used to initialise the fields for first name, last name, and ID to empty strings; hours worked and pay rate to zero.
* The class is to include a second constructor that accepts values for first name, last name, ID, hours worked, and pay rate and initialises their corresponding field values accordingly.
* Each field should have its own getter method that returns its value.
* Setter methods are required for the first name, last name, ID, hours worked, and pay rate fields.
* Separate methods are necessary to calculate gross pay and net pay using the supplied formulas. Neither of these methods returns a value.
* A method is required to display an employees payslip, containing all their details including gross and net pay. This method should call on the appropriate getter methods to access the employees details.
* Tax rate is a fixed value of 42% (0.42).
* Use of appropriate code comments.
I have absolutly no idea where to start, I can't remember how we used to do this (we did simple version of this before. but I can't find the project files anywhere on my pc, I think they got wiped from the school computer somehow. )
They gave us these formulas to work with:
For employees who have worked up to 38 hours:
gross pay = hours worked * pay rate
For employees who have worked up to 42 hours:
gross pay = 38 * pay rate + (hours worked 38) * 1.5 * pay rate
For employees who have worked up to 60 hours:
gross pay = 38 * pay rate + 4 * 1.5 * pay rate + (hours worked 42) * 2 * pay rate
net pay = gross pay (gross pay * tax rate)
Create a class to test the functionality of your EmployeePayroll class.
When designing this class ensure you address the following points:
* Name the class TestEmployeePayroll
* Instantiate one EmployeePayroll object that initially sets the first name, last name, and ID fields to your name and student number, the pay rate field to 20.00 and the hours worked field to 38.0.
* Instantiate a second EmployeePayroll object using the default constructor.
* Instantiate an object of the ReadKb class so that your test class can receive user input from the keyboard.
* User input is required for first name, last name, ID, hours worked and pay category (see following table)
* Validation is required for user input of hours worked (must be between 0 and 60 inclusively) and pay category (must be between 1 and 4 inclusively). Assume the user will enter only numeric input for these values.
* The values entered by the user are to be assigned to the fields of the second EmployeePayroll object using the appropriate setter methods.
* Calculate gross and net pay for each EmployeePayroll object.
* Display a pay slip for each employee.
* Use of appropriate code comments.
Use a switch statement to allocate employee pay rate based on the entered pay category value.
If anyone can help, I would be immensely grateful.

"Houtbay" Houtbaai by mvtouring
Houtbaai Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 14 photos
I love taking my guests to Houtbay. The fish they serve at the harbour is always nice and fresh. Hout Bay is a 20 minute drive from the Cape Town city centre, almost halfway between Cape Town and Cape Point. Houtbaai was named by the Dutch explorers, which literally translated means Wood Bay. The timber was used to help build Cape Town. Hout Bay was then divided up into two farms the Kronendal and Moddergat. Over time the farms were divided up however today Hout Bay still enjoys a rural atmosphere with several equestrian estates and small holdings. Hout Bay has become very popular as a seaside resort town with its unique location at the start of the Atlantic Seaboard and yet still only thirty minutes drive from most of Cape Towns top attractions. Hout Bay is recognised as one of South Africa?s leading destinations for local tourists and has become a popular place for international tourists to base their South African holiday. A growing bed and breakfast industry supports the demand from holidaymakers. Hout Bay real estate now includes holiday accommodation, family homes ranging from apartments to seaview properties in security estates.

Seems everyone is jumping on the bandwagon for the next-gen systems, including Renowned Horror writer Clive Barker and Action film director John Woo. Barker has teamed with John Woo's Production company to produce Demonik, an action/horror title to be released for Playstation 3 and possibly X360. The game, and possibly film, is played from the villians point of view, a demon raised to punish all, innocent and guilty alike. There are several previews floating around the internet now, but you'll have to search for them. I don't want to be known as the guy who sent you to the competition websites. So get lookin' and be prepared to be amazed!
On another note, there are a slew of pics up on several sites of next-gen system games, all looking more impressive the more I stare at them. Also The Matrix: Path of Neo is rounding up to be the definitive Matrix game. With all that has been promised, including an all out slugfest with a total of 1500 Mr. Smiths onscreen and tremendous bullet-time effects, this will hopefully bring back the luster that used to be the Matrix. The Matrix: Path of Neo is being developed by Shiny Entertainment for the PS2 and XBOX for release winter 2005. 'Nuff said.</p

In this paper, we present a sequential projection-based metacognitive learning algorithm in a radial basis function network (PBL-McRBFN) for classification problems. The algorithm is inspired by human metacognitive learning principles and has two components: a cognitive component and a metacognitive component. The cognitive component is a single-hidden-layer radial basis function network with evolving architecture. The metacognitive component controls the learning process in the cognitive component by choosing the best learning strategy for the current sample and adapts the learning strategies by implementing self-regulation. In addition, sample overlapping conditions and past knowledge of the samples in the form of pseudosamples are used for proper initialization of new hidden neurons to minimize the misclassification. The parameter update strategy uses projection-based direct minimization of hinge loss error. The interaction of the cognitive component and the metacognitive component addresses the what-to-learn, when-to-learn, and how-to-learn human learning principles efficiently. The performance of the PBL-McRBFN is evaluated using a set of benchmark classification problems from the University of California Irvine machine learning repository. The statistical performance evaluation on these problems proves the superior performance of the PBL-McRBFN classifier over results reported in the literature. Also, we evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm on a practical Alzheimer's disease detection problem. The performance results on open access series of imaging studies and Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative datasets, which are obtained from different demographic regions, clearly show that PBL-McRBFN can handle a problem with change in distribution.

Piglet gift not a winner at Golden Globes
Not everything was golden at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday in Beverly Hills, Calif. Along with the usual freebies that shower celebrities apparently was a gitft of baby pigs.
National animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society calls the giveaway "a disturbing trivialization of intelligent, social pets. And worse, the celebrity-driven 'teacup pig craze' is based on a myth," says Yvonne McIntosh, an animal care manager at the society's Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
"I am horrified that anyone would think it is a good idea or even okay in any way to give away piglets, especially at such a highly publicized event. For decades people have bought 'miniature' pigs and then dumped them once they grew bigger than the promised, mythical 40 pounds. The resurgence of descriptive names such as 'Teacup', 'Extreme', and 'Micro-mini' is simply part of a marketing scheme to get people's money in return for a pig that will never stay as small as promised."
According to Best Friends, only two to five percent of potbellied pigs remain as a family pet. The rest wind up in shelters, sanctuaries or suffer a worse fate. "The pigs suffer and end up being dumped and euthanized in our 'disposable' society," McIntosh said.
Here's an earlier release on the topic that Best Friends sent out.In October,Best Friends released a statement concerning the latest celebrity craze
