Speaking of any upcoming home media release of the 1990s children's cartoon series Dexter's Laboratory, whether it's on DVD, BluRay or any future format, what I was always proposing all the time is always this:
A) A definitive, first-class special edition home media release of Dexter's Laboratory—something along the possible lines of a "Criterion Collection" for animation on home video—this time, on BluRay, and with dazzling high definition clarity (and quality) and the purest digital sound imaginable on the planet, as well as being done at the highest level.
B) Something that collects every single one in the whole, entire franchise of Dexter's Laboratory (including the Ego Trip TV movie, Dexter's Rude Removal (with censored and/or uncensored track(s)), and even the infamous banned Dial M For Monkey segment known as "Barbequor", and apart from my proposed dinosaur-infused Dexter's Laboratory reboot and epic blockbuster movie project that is "Dexter's Odyssey") as well as preserving, restoring, and remastering all the original pre-Ego Trip run plus Ego Trip in their original unaltered broadcast glory, as well as in 1080p HD and in excellent high quality and with maximum bit-rate encoding, as well as, in addition to the original 2.0 stereo broadcast audio mixes, all new 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio remixes for the best and highest-quality A/V presentations imaginable.
C) Something that, even for an obscure 1990s kids cartoon that gained a small cult following, might also contain the most comprehensive collection of supplemental materials (and not to mention, materials not yet seen before) ever assembled (and by no means imaginable) for any film, any series of films, or any TV show, whether be they live action, animated, or a blend of both.
D) Something that might not only be aimed at fans of Dexter's Lab and Classic Cartoon Network in general, but also the collector, and especially in ways that even previous home media releases of especially Cartoon Network's more classical show (including that of Dexter's Laboratory) never were.
While the last two seasons of Dexter's Lab might well likely get 1080p HD transfer taken directly from the digital source, all of the original pre-Ego Trip Dexter's Lab stuff plus Ego Trip itself might also undergo a massive restoration process in order for all that to be fit for a definitive, first-class high definition presentation on BluRay.
And in order to give all the pre-Ego Trip stuff in Dexter's Lab and Ego Trip itself a very, very, VERY FRESH lick of paint in the very form of a massive, frame-by-frame digital restoration that might even bring the colors back to life and in their original unaltered broadcast glory, all without even the side effects of, say, DVNR, reinsert the infamous banned Dial M For Monkey segment Barbequor right where it always should have been (at least in the fourth Season One half-hour, and right between Double Trouble and the very first Dexter's Laboratory pilot episode known as "Changes"), and even give the dialogue/voices, music and sound effects a whole new outstanding punch by way of remixed, outstanding and super-separated 7.1 DTS sound mixes that places you right in the middle of the hilarious chaos in a particular Dexter's Lab episode and will have you convinced Dexter is yelling "Dee Dee! Get out of my laboratory!!" or something like that right from your living room, in addition to the original 2.0 stereo broadcast audio mixes, to say the least…
They will most likely have no choice but to go back to the original sources, and re-edit and reassemble all that pre-Ego Trip Dexter's Lab stuff plus the Ego Trip movie itself together from scratch.
For example, each and every single one in the original pre-Ego Trip run of Dexter's Lab (back when Genndy Tartakovsky was the show runner) and Ego Trip itself will have to be cleaned up and reassembled frame-by-frame from the original film elements all without even the side effects of DVNR, the dialogue/voice tracks as well as the music tracks had to be reinserted and a lot of the sound effects had to be completely redone to fit the show's 7.1 DTS remixes, etc.
And this will mean a lot of time and a lot of money, probably more time and money than has ever been spent to bring something that is animated, used to air on TV during the obscure yet (to those who are children of the 90s at the time) simple and happy time before the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and have garnered a small cult following, to home video, had to be spent in order to make such a release happen.
But at least I wanted such a BluRay release of Dexter's Lab to be among the best BluRay sets of all time (alongside even the Alien Anthology BluRay box set, to say the least), whether it's for a movie, or whether it's for a TV series, or whether it's for a series of films, and whether they're animated, live action, or a fusion of both.
Sorry it is a long post, but that's what I've always proposed for any upcoming home media release of a cartoon like Dexter's Laboratory all the time, whether it's on DVD, BluRay, or any future format.

Time after time, I review CC creams and I find that they doesn't really suit my skin/the weather in Singapore/get sucked into the depths of my pore-filled face. But in life, we must be optimistic (and some might say vaguely deluded). I will mush on in pursuit of the perfect CC cream!
A'Pieu Aurora Luminous CC Cream – KRW18,000
My bro helped me to get this when he was in Korea last year, so he chose the NB01 for me based on some random guy fewling.
I say…
- It comes in a two-tiered bottle – the top portion is removable (click-on) and holds the concealer portion and a mirror.
- The bottom portion has a pump delivery system similar to that of the ONL Oceaniq 3D Anti Wrinkle Total Solution CC Cream – push down the entire top to dispense the CC cream.
- One pump is more than enough for the entire face, so I usually try to press gently to dispense half a pump.
- There is a very slight scent to the CC cream.
- I -think- there are some very miniscule colour-changing granules in the CC cream, but they're so tiny that I can barely begin to feel them before they dissolve.
- The CC cream is smooth and easy to apply without tugging on your skin, kinda like a slightly watered-down version of the usual BB cream textures, similar to the Shara Shara Royal Class Choice Color Control CC Cream.
- It comes out a sweet pink-almost-lilac colour, which then changes into a nude light beige after blending in.
- It changes colour at an average rate – not super fast nor super slow.
- It gives a beautiful glowy finish – see pictures for proof. Like most CC creams, it's not strong in the coverage department though. I'd give it about 6/10 for coverage.
- It also ups the moisture level of the skin – but when combined with the eventual sebum secretion several hours later, led to my glasses sliding down my nose. Heh. I guess this would be good for those with dry skin.
Overall, I guess it's an alright CC cream – some coverage, great glow and moisture. Best for those with combination/dry skin, and also for those who have good complexion since this doesn't hide much.
P.S: I didn't swatch the concealer portion after testing out the CC cream cos I just had a hunch that I wouldn't be keeping this for long, and I figured I'd keep it in better condition for the next owner

Osprey are often seen fishing in Joe Budd Pond. Photo Credit: Meaghan Manning
Joe Budd has a variety of wildlife indigenous to the flatwoods and sandy upland areas of panhandle Florida. Alligators, gopher tortoises, white-tailed deer and wild turkey are common. Joe Budd has excellent habitat for both the federally threatened Eastern indigo snake and the federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, although neither of these species has been documented on the area.
Wildlife You Might SeeWildlife Viewing TipsJoe Budd Bird List
The combination fishing pier/wildlife observation platform at Lake Talquin, a Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail site, is an excellent spot to observe wading birds, osprey, and perhaps bald eagles. A 20-acre pond is stocked for fishing opportunities. Visitors may hear a variety of warblers, including the black-and-white warbler , prothonotary warbler , palm warbler , and Kentucky warbler , in the pine-oak forests during spring and fall migration.
Check out other species recorded from Joe Budd WMA, or add observations of your own, by visiting the Joe Budd WMA Nature Trackers project .
Admired by anglers for its feisty nature and delicate, tasty flesh, bluegill are found in springs, streams, rivers and lakes in Florida. A dark "ear" (operculum) covering and a blotch at the back bottom edge of the dorsal fin are distinguishing features of adults. Rows of darker vertical bands are usually visible, but body color is variable depending on age, sex and breeding status. Colors range from a light olive to gray in juveniles and non-breeding adults, to a darker blue or purple in breeding males.
Bluegill are well known for "bedding" in large groups (30 or more is not unusual), with their circular beds touching one another. Bedding occurs in water two to six feet deep, over sand, shell or gravel and often among plant roots when the bottom is soft. Spawning occurs from April through October and peaks in May and June. Insects and their larvae make up the bulk of the bluegill's diet.
Bluegill are abundant, making them very popular with anglers and a great first fish for kids. Anglers find that live crickets or worms are effective baits. A small inline spinner is a good artificial lure. Their tiny mouths require small hooks (#6-10). Adult bluegill average 6 to 10 inches in length and weigh 0.2 to 1.0 pounds. The state record is 2.95 pounds.
FWC Facts:According to the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting & Wildlife-Associated Recreation, 66.1 million people engage in wildlife observation, spending about $38.5 billion per year.

History revision
The League of Nations was already weak and wasn't very influential towards other countries. This is for a number of reasons. Such as, America didn't join so there was no outright country that had significant control, as a result of this Great Britain and France led the League of Nations. However, they weren't very influential and controlling because both countries had just come out of the war and were rebuilding.
Italy was ruled by Mussolini's fascists:
- Italy was under the control of Benito Mussolini and his Fascist party.
- He had been Prime Minister in 1922 after threating to take power by marching on Rome.
- With his new position as Prime Minister, he changed the voting rules and as a result, his fascist party came to power.
- From 1925 he began to change Italy into a dictatorship rather than a democracy.
- He banned all opposition…

The Winery Dogs Interviews and Features
Below are our features and interviews with The Winery Dogs.
Mike Portnoy on The Winery Dogs & Transatlantic
Drummer par excellence Mike Portnoy has touched enough musical projects as there are constellations in the night sky at this point in his career. Right now, with the Winery Dogs, he's making music that "you can just play and feel. You don't have to sit there and think and count. It's music you can enjoy without a calculator," he tells me. In the middle of the first tour with the band, Mike found time to speak with me about the Winery Dogs and some of his other recent endeavors.
Moreover, a rumor about Daniel Gildenlow of Pain of Salvation being a part of the next Transatlantic record was addressed, as well as a rumor that the Progressive Nation at Sea cruise that he is heading up will be filmed for an upcoming release. One of the flag-carriers for the prog genre, Portnoy didn't need to prove anything to anyone except for himself, as I was about to find out, which is the mindset of a true artist. More...

Have you ever wanted to catch up with someone over a nice soup and salad, but you do not want to go somewhere crazy with millions of people? The Red Bird Cafe is such a nice location with an amazing aura.
I finally got to try the food at this cute Brockport place and I have to say it was very good and filling, but not the type of filled that means I feel sick. I tried a peach ginger loose tea that was so good. It was not flavored as much as some others but it still felt very good to me. My boyfriend was not the biggest fan because it was not flavored as much, but I really liked it. If you get tea they usually bring a pot out to you and you choose a tea cup you want. If you want tea bags they just bring out a smaller pot, but if you get loose it is usually darker and they steep for you.
The Lunch was excellent and hit the spot perfectly! I got a turkey apple cheese panini with tomato artichoke soup. They were both really good in my opinion. The soup was a unique mix that may not sound the best, but trust me the end game was good. The sandwich was excellent as well. I love apples because its a fruit that can be used as sweet or savory. It gave that sandwich something that was needed, a little bit of sweetness.
My mom decided to try their chicken salad and she thought that was very good. My sister also recommended that to us before we went. I am not a huge mayonnaise fan but i'll probably try it sometime. My boyfriend decided to get the monte cristo panini and he liked his sandwich as well.
Now onto desserts! The desserts they offered were tarts for the day. My boyfriend and I got chocolate while my mother tried peach. She really liked hers, but I have to say I think I prefer the cherry ones over chocolate. The chocolate ones seemed like it was just pudding on top and there was some icy stuff still in it. I was kind of disappointed with that but the rest of the meal was fantastic.
Overall these was a great place to catch up with my boyfriend and mom and the food was really good. The prices are better for someone getting lunch for them self, but as a price as a whole it got to be a little steep. This is a great place to go once in awhile though. I highly recommend it and rate it 9/10 stars.

A WorldWide Casino Site
The Accumulation Effect – Casino Credit Control
Accumulation of wealth – control riches – govern the bankroll
I will get to the point quite rapidly here, if you are to survive the casino climbing frame of opportunity, then your bankroll must do it for you. It is not the consistent deposits nor the staggered jackpots of which will determine your long term success, it is the dedication of strategic action within a system you can depend. We find ourselves overlooking the most simple aspect of casino conquering most of the time, the answer is simple yet easier said than done. The answer is small and direct advancements in wealth accumulation, success is not chasing dreams for the one of win, it is the smart routine of continuous streaks, both big and small, either way, they are profiteering experiences of a winning nature.
When your success is looming, the time for mistakes will also increase, it's these often impending moments that must be avoided, don't lose that firm grasp over the profits you now hold, don't play out of your depth and avoid high rolling, this be it the pitfall of the losing player majority.
I've said this many times, through my own history and through analysing years of notepad inclusions for my gaming outcomes, the bankroll has always decided the outcome, away from the swinging pendant of luck and the unforgivable nature of bad decision, standing above all other factors in online gambling, is the bankroll management behind that game.
More often than not, when my bankroll has taken a major tumble from loss, it is playing out of my bankroll level which has left me unable to recover, you must learn to harness and obey such a master as your bankroll decides the landslide moment that defines your cash filled pockets or not.
Taking advantage of the accumulation effect
In casino gambling, our objective sits on the back of financial vanity, of course we are there for money, yes it's fun and yes it's quite exciting, but at the end of the day, our reasons of involvement may perhaps have something to do with the cash value on offer that can be substantial in cases.
The accumulation effect is the gathering of elements in order to accumulate collection, in nature accumulation effect can occur in degradation of waste in a landfill by gathering vast amounts of bacteria and allowing accumulation. Accumulating in salt extraction from sea water and also a property developers one building and selling four rooms or a millionaires business plan. We take one part of something and use it to generate another, well, we can do this with casino credits, yet there is system and control that must be adhered to.
Taking advantage of what you have for accumulation like all growth efforts must conform to the limits of the bankroll. Our bankroll for my example will be twenty dollars, small i know, but modest for our example of accumulation.
Remember that accumulation in gambling relies upon not what you do in losing, but what you do in winning, it is designed that through the duration of your game, win or loss, that the bankroll can be self sustaining. That is what a bankroll is for, it must achieve two primal functions, to aid profit and to cushion loss.
So we have twenty dollars, i break this down into ten accumulators of two dollars each. These accumulators will be used as successive pulse bets that will form a wave of play over any given period. So then, i'll choose a game, say roulette. I will not get too involved and play a careful game. I stick with double or nothing placements, red or black, odd or even and nothing more. This is very important.
The method of accumulator betting
Lets say we place two dollars now on red, if we hit red then we double up. However you must forget about that win and assume you are still playing with the whole twenty dollars and not twenty two. Play like this and you'll soon start reaping from the rewards of controlled financial gambling.
The aim is accumulation and are therefore using one amount to generate another, the won amount must never become part of the betting stake you entered into that particular game with. Ok so the winning is good and we're happy with that, ok, the trick is loss and therefore using the bankroll as a protective device, pure and simple.
If you've played three bets and have lost on those three occasions and those losses are continuous over those three bets, now normally in double or nothing bets this does not happen too often, but when it does, here's what to do.
Divide the remainder of the bankroll into two parts – a cushion and an accumulator value. Carry on playing with the accumulator value double or nothing, now each time you lose, place an opposite bet from the cushion part but only half of the betting value, so two dollars. This is the key to surviving a downswing, it is the bounce back ability which creates multiple chances in both winning and losing scenarios.
Now my numbers are small and i will play continuous until i reach an accumulation of around fifty percent, so when i have 30 dollars, i will leave the game. Most gamblers go for doubling up, this can take time and patience, with a 50 percent margin, your twice as likely to reach it both more often and in half the time.
Now utilise this value to a bankroll of over a thousand dollars and you have something very interesting, if of course you have the patience to carry it off.
Play with patience and play with method, that's all there is to it, gambling is just a game at the end of the day.

Hello there,
So, I know that mp3 is slower (cuz it needs decoding) to play in Unity as the article below says.
Is this still true when I use Fmod to play sounds? Would it still take more processing power to play mp3 in Fmod versus wav?

Best Answer
Yes. See http://188.8.131.52/documentation/#content/generated/platform_windows/performance_reference.html for comparison of PCM (wav) vs Vorbis (compressed format similar to MP3).

Awesome! So, ogg is the best.
- Jake Kim answered 4 years ago
- Vorbis in the case means our own encoder/decoder. Use the fsbank or studio to compress the files.

FMA files civil proceedings against trustee
FMA files civil proceedings against trustee
The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) has filed civil proceedings against Prince and Partners Trustee Company Limited (Prince), using the powers of section 34 of the Financial Markets Authority Act. Prince was the trustee for finance company Viaduct Capital Limited (Viaduct).
Viaduct collapsed in 2009. FMA alleges that Prince breached the obligations it owed to Viaduct investors and to the Treasury (the Crown) under the Retail Deposit Crown Guarantee.
Section 34 of the Financial Markets Authority Act enables the FMA to stand in the shoes of another, and exercise that person's right to take action against an individual or company who is or has been in the financial markets industry.
Exercising the right of action of Viaduct investors and the Treasury (who holds the rights of investors paid out under the Crown Guarantee), FMA alleges that Prince failed to fulfil its obligations to protect the interests of investors in Viaduct. The claim further alleges that this conduct resulted in loss to individual investors and to the Treasury under the Crown Guarantee, to which Viaduct was a party.
The FMA has serious concerns about the conduct of Prince as trustee in the case of Viaduct. The FMA has determined that it is appropriate for the Court to consider the conduct in this case, and where appropriate to award compensation to investors who suffered loss as a result of Prince's failure to fulfil its obligations as Trustee. This is the first claim filed by FMA against a trustee.
"Trustees play a critical role in protecting the rights of investors and it is vital the public have confidence that a trustee's obligations will be discharged," said Belinda Moffat, FMA Director of Enforcement.
FMA has brought separate criminal charges against individuals associated with Viaduct which are currently still before the Court.

Fantastic news that we are going to see John Lloyd Young performing in the UK but sad that after 6 years Ryan Molloy will be leaving the production. The original four cast members, Ryan, Glenn Carter, Stephen Ashfield and Philip Bulcock were fantastic very talented actors, dancers and singers.
The UK Tour has just announced a new date at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham from 9 December until 4 January. You can book tickets here:

Blames rich states
Sir - The response or non-response of wealthy Arab states - U.A.E, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia - to the refugee crisis currently engulfing Europe has been instructive.
These countries will, of course, be the first to express outrage over any American intervention in the region but when it comes to supporting their brethren with any practical intervention, there seems little solidarity.
Saudi Arabia has, however, offered to build 200 mosques in Germany to accommodate the faith needs of the displaced.

Kerala Blasters sign striker Haokip for third ISL season
New Delhi, July 7 (IANS) Indian Super League (ISL) franchise Kerala Blasters FC announced on Thursday the signing of striker Thongkhosiem Haokip, popularly known as Semboi, for the upcoming third edition of the tournament.
The talented 22-year-old striker, who had a fabulous run last season scoring four goals in six appearances for FC Goa, will now don the yellow jersey of Kerala Blasters.
Haokip started his career with the Pune FC youth academy where he became the first academy player to net a hat-trick while representing the club in the U-20 I-League. His ability to score hat-tricks can be seen from his performance in the 2014-15 season of the I-League where he scored three times within 15 minutes against Shillong Lajong.
He had finished that season as the highest Indian scorer with seven goals in 18 matches. He scored another hat-trick in the last ISL season, becoming the first Indian player to score a hat-trick both in the ISL and the I-League.
"I am excited to be part of Kerala Blasters and hope to justify the faith put in me by the coach and the management. I am looking forward to meet and train with my new team-mates and coach Steve Coppell," Haokip said in a release.
"We welcome the young ever smiling Haokip into the Kerala Blasters family. We were impressed with his performances last season for FC Goa and hope he continues his form into this year. The coaching staffs have earmarked him as one for the future," Viren D'Silva, chief executive officer of Kerala Blasters, said.

Talk Show Performances of the Past
This blog will be used to share and discuss music performances mostly from late night talk shows, but could also include award shows or other televised music performances. Whether you want to re-watch a performance, need to catch up on ones you missed, or want to discuss them with other viewers, this is the place to keep up with your late night music cravings.
I think talk show performances are important because they are short, but they can easily be discussed for a long time. The musical guests always close out the show late into the night and I think waiting for them makes it a better payoff by the end of the show.
Musical guests can be important to you because they have the potential to introduce you to new music. You can easily discover a new band or artist that you would not have normally listened to because of their performance on a television show. This short sample of their music could grab your interest. If you already know and enjoy the artist, it can at the very least, be a nice ending to your evening.
Probably the most famous talk show musical performance was, of course, The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. It was their first television performance in the United States and watched by 73 million people. This isn't something that happens anymore. But fans still tune in to see their favorite bands perform on these shows.
The Foo Fighters did a special Live on Letterman show in April, 2011, in which they recreated the Beatles appearance. They played their new album, Wasting Light, in its entirety while wearing Beatles-mimicking black suits on the very stage that they performed on
five decades prior. The performance was even shot in black and white for the first fifty minutes until the band began playing other songs other than the new album.
I think this special recreation concert shows that cool things can still be done through musical performances on television. There are still ways to do new things and keep viewers interested. I think specifically with the Foo Fighters, they did a great job making a tribute to the Beatles, while still being creative and showing their own style.
When you think of musical performances on television, which ones come to your mind? I can use any feedback you give to help adapt my blog and decide what to discuss in the future.
You can watch the full Foo Fighters concert here, and The Beatles first performance on Ed Sullivan here. I think this type of performance is still relevant if they are still having musical guests on talk shows five decades later! Do you think they are still important?

Having a bad cold when you're pregnant or breastfeeding really sucks because you're not really supposed to take cold medicine or decongestant. You especially shouldn't take decongestant if you are breastfeeding because it will likely lower your supply. Well, this week I finally got nailed by one of Bailey's take home viruses from daycare and my head is full of snot! It aches with sinus congestion and I'm still breastfeeding so what do I do?? And then I suddenly remembered my Nasopure. This thing is a miracle worker, and it's great for everybody. My brother in law Brian uses something similar every day to combat allergies. When I was in my third trimester of pregnancy I used it almost daily because I was so congested. It made me feel so much better even if it didn't stop my pregnancy induced snoring (likely that went away pretty much as soon as the baby came out!)
If you've never tried a Nasopure, NeilMed sinus rinse or a Netipot, it will look really weird and probably seem kind of gross, but, it is a non-medicated way to help relieve congestion due to allergies, colds and other sinus problems. I really think you should give it a try or at least watch a youtube video on how it works 🙂 After one rinse this morning, a giant gob of mucus came out of my nose and I felt instantly better. The pressure across my face was gone and I could breathe through my nose again. You can bet I'll be using this once or twice a day until this cold has run its course.
p.s. the last two mornings, we've asked Bailey to pick out his socks when we get him dressed and he responds by crawling over to his sock basket and picking out a pair.
p.p.s Lee wanted to make sure I mentioned in this post that Bailey is a genius. He's a genius! That is all.

FRANKFURT. Despite improved therapy, only one out of every two adult patients survive acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The mean survival time for this disease, which predominantly occurs in the elderly, is less than a year for patients over 65 years. It is assumed that leukaemic stem cells, which cannot be completely eliminated during treatment, are the origin of relapse. However, as has been discovered by a team of Frankfurt-based researchers, these cells do have a weakness: In the current edition of the high impact journal "Cancer Research", they report that the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) plays a significant role in the survival of leukaemic AML stem cells.
5-LO is known for its role in inflammatory diseases like asthma. A team led by Dr. Marin Ruthardt from the Haematology Department of the Medical Clinic II and Dr. Jessica Roos, Prof. Diester Steinhilber and Prof. Thorsten Jürgen Maier from the Institute for Pharmaceutical Chemistry showed that the leukaemic stem cells in a subgroup of AML could be selectively and efficiently attacked by 5-LO inhibitors. This was demonstrable in cell culture models as well as in leukaemia mouse models.
"These results provide the basis for the potential implementation of 5-LO-inhibitors as stem cell therapeutic agents for a sustained AML cure, although this must be investigated further in preclinical and clinical studies in humans," explains Dr. Ruthardt. "In addition, there are plans for further molecular biological studies with the objective of understanding exactly how the 5-LO inhibitors act on the leukaemic cells." Prof. Maier continued.
Roos et al.: 5-lipoxygenase is a candidate target for therapeutic management of stem cell-like cells in acute myeloid leukemia, in Cancer Research Volume (2014), Published OnlineFirst July 31, 2014; doi:10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-13-3012

In addition to his devotion to working as a legal advocate for people with disabilities, Attorney Nicholas Ellis enjoys volunteering his time to causes that are important to him.
He works as a volunteer Big Brother through the organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters. Attorney Nicholas Ellis is an active member of the Outreach Committee at First Congregational Church and has volunteered as a tennis coach for inner city youth at the YMCA in the Greendale neighborhood of Worcester, MA for the past fifteen years.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
It takes a special person to volunteer to be a Big Brother or a Big Sister. It takes someone who has the courage, dedication, and willingness to donate their time to build a relationship with a young person in need. When Attorney Nicholas Ellis decided to become a Big Brother, he knew that he was making a serious commitment. When a person volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters, he or she is making a promise to be there for a child and become an instrumental part of that child's growth. Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization with a storied history. The organization got its roots in 1904, and has been growing stronger ever since. Today, BBBS is celebrated nationwide as one of the best ways for volunteers to jump in and make an impact. Many volunteers find that they get as much back from their littles as they intended to give in the first place.
Fifteen years ago, Attorney Nicholas Ellis started volunteering at his local YMCA as a tennis coach for at-risk youth. The first YMCA was founded in London in 1844 by George Williams. Inspired by the original YMCA in London, retired sea captain Thomas Valentine Sullivan founded the first YMCA in the United States in the Old South Church of Boston in 1851. Today, there are over 10,000 YMCA chapters across the nation. Nicholas Ellis is proud to donate his time to such a historic, worthy, and relevant cause.

Projecting a Positive Experience in Phys Ed Class
Adam Ebbole, a physical education teacher at the Ravenswood Ridge Elementary Network in Chicago, Illinois, has discovered an innovative way to solve the often awkward problem of picking teams during daily gym class, avoiding the sometimes painful popularity contest that is team selection. Ebbole received a new Epson VS210 Projector from DonorsChoose.org and he's putting it to great use.
"I have an iPad app that I use with the projector," he explains, "It picks the groups for the students, which is both a time saver and also prevents any student from being the last choice for sports groups." Ebbole uses the app's features to make sure that his school's high population of students with special needs aren't "…waiting around after all the athletic kids are picked" and he also uses the projection app to "break up groups of students who may be more likely to talk than exercise."
Activities in the Spotlight
Mr. Ebbole is a busy educator, teaching 450 students in 15 classes, grades K-8. He uses his new projector in a variety of ways. "I use it for the kindergartners a lot. I usually can't hold their attention for 50 minutes, so if I use the projector to screen an exercise video, like yoga, they're not just glued to the screen, they're also active the entire time. I can also introduce all the kids to new and international sports, like tchoukball, and using videos is the best way to show them how to play."
Making the Most of Class Time in Physical Education
Students in Ebbole's class also learn time management. Using his iPad, he projects a timer for students, helping them get through the exercise stations faster than when he used a stopwatch. With their eyes on the projected countdown, students kept time on their own and finished the exercise course on time so they could spend more time in their favorite sports activities during class. He also uses the projected timer to explain to students that participation affects their grades. "With half the time left on the clock, I'd see students who hadn't been active at all. I was able to start a conversation with them about what their grade should be if they only did half the work. They've realized that I watch them more carefully than they assumed!"
60 Seconds of Inspiration…Projected Daily
Mr. Ebbole uses his new projector for every class, every day. He says, "As a gym teacher, I get every excuse under the sun. I went to college with Matt Scott, a Paralympic basketball athlete. He lost the use of his legs early in his life, and Nike® featured him in a TV spot called," No Excuses." I play this every day for every class. It's only one minute long, but it makes quite an impression on the kids because you don't see he's in a wheelchair until the end."
Projection Technology Gets Physical
The use of projection technology across the curriculum often concentrates in the reading, math, science, and social studies areas, but Adam Ebbole's practical, strategic use of his new projector spotlights that great results are possible when committed educators have powerful tools to engage and motivate learners.

McIntosh MC-225, Garrard 301, Scott 222, and the Quad ESL-63.
Give us an example of timeless design for an audio product.
Some audio products never seem to get old and can hold up over years and decades. Give us an example of timeless design for an audio product.
Halcro dm10 preamp (definitely not forgetting the phono stage). This single box unit is still a killer. This is one product that I think will be around for years to come and still sound great! And not forgetting my dear old LP12 Linn turntable. I've been with her longer than my former marriageand she still gives me plenty, and I mean plenty, of enjoyment!
Klipsch Heritage speakers. The Klipschorn has been in production since 1946, the La Scala since 1963, the Cornwall since 1959 and the Heresy since 1957. All without a break except for the Cornwall. Can anything beat that?
Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck, remember them? Pass Labs Class A amps. KT 88 valves/tubes, Magnum Dynalab MD-90 FM tuner, Quad 57 speaker, and the Audio Research D 70 Mk II amp. Any acoustically well designed listening room.
MBL Radialstrahler 101: The pods are timeless, whether you have the old models without subwoofer or the new ones with subwoofer (101D and later). McIntosh Amp MC 1000: Typical McIntosh design at its best. No thrills, just power and quality. And the best for both: the sound is timeless.
Universally, the Linn LP12 turntable is the foremost example of a timeless classic. But other products that have stood the test of time are the BBC LS3/5a in its many variations, McIntosh tube amps and many designs from Audio Research, most notably AR300MkII power amp.
Cary Audio 805 SET ampshow many other amps from every company had come and gone while the 805 has remained virtually unchanged in styling and approach? In their various incarnations: Watt/Puppy speakers from Wilson and the Naim Nait stand out as permanent members of the audiophile world.
There are a lot of obvious products, but I think Simon Yorke's S7 deserves consideration. Incredibly simple implementation of the high mass approach without going overboard. Also, I think the 47 Labs Flatfish transport is certainly bound for classic status among those who appreciate the unique design.
My little JBL speakers I bought back in 1984, still doing duty in the garage. I did have to fix the surrounds, but that was easy. Also, my Aiwa ghetto blaster purchased in 1982 still worksthey actually used steel to build it!

Herbal Tea & Wholegrain Coconut Muffins
It is very hard to get 100% wholegrain muffins in any bakery/store because they can be heavy dense and tricky to make but this recipe will impress you as it is super simple, requires very few ingredients and you don't have to have fancy baking equipment to execute it, just a non-stick muffin pan and a whisk and you are good to go.
The recipe calls for honey and a little bit of unrefined sugar or regular sugar so it is quite healthy and can be consumed even by diabetics as it has fresh coconut which is a superfood, to say the least…a good source of the minerals copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, and zinc, especially when using fresh coconut but dried can also work too.
Wholegrain flour like Winnie's Pure Health Chapati Afya Flour contains whole wheat meaning you get all the nutrients that are not present in white wheat flour. Furthermore, they put some amaranth, finger millet and rye flours to add an extra array of nutrition and flavor as well.
You can also add chia seeds which not only help in binding the dough but also play a key role in nutrition. Chia seeds contain a great deal of omega 3 fats, calcium, magnesium and many other nutrients.

- Remove milk from fridge at least 1 hour before using, it really needs to be at room temperature to make good buttermilk. Add the 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the milk, stir well and leave it alone for about 10 minutes. It will have a heavier texture and creaminess to it with tangy flavor – this is what makes these muffins moist and light.
- sift 1 cup of wholegrain flour (winnie's pure health or even whole wheat/atta mark), add the pinch of sea salt, a few grinds of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder and set aside
- In another bowl add the 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence or extract, ⅓ cup honey, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil and whisk gently.
- Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones and the freshly grated coconut, carefully stirring them about 10 – 15 times. If you over mix them the gluten will form and make the muffin heavy and doughy. Make sure to only stif a few times, don't worry if it doesn't look like it's mixed well, they will still turn out great.
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius, rub the muffin pan with some of the coconut oil. Bake them on the center rack, for about 25 minutes.
- Cool them for about 30 minutes before eating them
- Make herbal tea using your favorite herbal tea bags like green tea, lemongrass, chamomile or rooibos then sweeten with honey and flavor with fresh lemon/lime juice.

Maintaining good tax and accounting records and preparing your own tax return are major jobs that can take considerable time and effort. Small business owners are usually so busy running their businesses that these tasks can be neglected and they may not always have the budget to employ a chartered accountant. In London and other major cities in your region look out for government funded Business Hubs that will often provide some free information to give you a helping hand with tax affairs. If you do not completed your paperwork fully and accurately you could end up costing your business a significant amount of money in fines and interest on unpaid taxes. Keeping that in mind, take a look at these top tips for making your business more efficient with regard to all issues relating to tax.
Keep a separate bank account just for tax
It is essential to open a distinctly separate bank account into which you transfer regular amounts to cover your tax bills. Depending on when you get paid by clients and customers set up a periodic automated payment. This will help with controlling your cash flow and ensuring you have sufficient funds once your tax bill arrives. If you keep funds intended for tax payments in your main business bank account it is all too easy to spend that money before the bill arrives then receive a nasty shock and risk potential fines if you are unable to pay the full amount.
Use tax efficient payment schemes
Companies that are set up with one or more directors can often pay the directors a basic salary and then their remaining income can come from dividend payments (assuming the company has adequate profit to issue a dividend). This does not affect the amount of corporation tax a company will pay but it will minimise the amount of personal tax that the directors have to pay and happy executives make for a happy company.
Claim back Value-Added-Tax (VAT) on bad debts
If any client defaults on a payment then your business will not want to have to pay VAT or sales tax on the unpaid debt, particularly since you will already be out-of-pocket. So remember that for any invoices remaining unpaid after 6 months the business can reclaim any sales tax or VAT that has already been paid.
Take advantage of free advice from an accountant
Whilst your business may not be able to employ a highly qualified chartered accountant, especially if you are based in London or some of the other very expensive cities worldwide, there are still various government-backed initiatives designed to help start-up businesses, often with free accounting and tax advice available. However, accountants and tax advisers can be more affordable than you might think and a fixed-fee accountancy service can help budget effectively for these costs. What many business owners soon realise is that an accountant is one of those costs worth paying for the peace of mind that all your tax affairs have been handled correctly; that you have paid the right amount of tax – neither too much nor too little.
There are also many ways in which an accountant can save you money because they are familiar with all the current tax-reliefs available, and hence can easily cover their fee in the tax savings they make for you.

This September, the US Army established the Energy Initiatives Office Task Force in conjunction with announcing the ambitious goal of meeting over 25 percent of its energy demand through renewable sources by 2025.
The US Army is promoting renewable energy as a practical solution to pressing security, economic, and environmental challenges. Source: US Army
This initiative is part of a larger agenda within the Department of Defense to promote renewable energy as a cost-effective security measure. Over the last decade, rising energy costs have increasingly strained military budgets and concerns over fuel convoy and supply security have risen to the fore. As an organization, the US Army currently spends over US $4 billion per year on energy to power bases, installations, transport vehicles, and equipment around the world. The projected costs of the status quo, that is, maintaining a fossil fuel-based energy mix, have proven unsustainable to top military leaders. For example, with every US $1 increase in global oil prices, the US Army's energy budget can fluctuate by over US $30 million. The Army has indicated that in addition to its environmental benefits, ramping up renewable energy makes sense from both an economic and national security perspective. Secretary of the US Army John M. McHugh recently stated that "The Energy Initiatives Office Task Force will help the Army build resilience through renewable energy while streamlining our business practices so developers can invest in and build an economically viable, large-scale renewable energy infrastructure".
As one of the largest energy consumers in the world, the US Army's adoption of such aggressive renewable energy policies will be a major boon to the US and global renewable energy industries. The Energy Initiatives Office (EIO) Task Force estimates that the US Army will need an additional 2.5 million megawatt-hours (MWh) per year of additional renewable energy supply over the next 10 years to meet its 25 percent goal. A recent Pike Research report on US military energy initiatives finds that the renewable energy investments from the Army and other branches of the military will top US $10 billion annually by 2030 and continue to grow. Some analysts estimate that the US Army alone may attract over US $7 billion in private financing for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects over the next five years. This increase in demand can provide manufacturers and generators the long-term financial security they need to make significant structural investments in renewable energy production and innovation.
Currently, the US Army's EIO Task Force is developing strategies to increase investor confidence and position army installations as a prime, low-risk, market for private-sector investments in renewable energy projects. A major advantage that military institutions have is a vast amount of land resources. The US Army alone owns over 15 million acres of land, much of it suitable for solar, wind, and geothermal development. Currently, much of this land is left unused as a buffer between military activities and local communities. By offering large tracks for little to no cost to renewable energy developers, the US Army is leveraging the value of the land to secure long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with private renewable energy companies. It is seen as a win-win situation by offering clean and stable energy supply for Army bases as well as financial certainty for the renewable energy industry. At this point, the US Army has identified over 5 million acres of real estate that could be offered to renewable energy suppliers, with the intent of attracting billions of dollars in investment over the next ten years. Twenty utility-scale projects comprising solar, wind, geothermal, and biogas have already been proposed under this arrangement.
Overall, the entire Department of Defense is poising itself to be a central driver of renewable energy investment in both the United States and international markets. For the US Army's part, a major pillar of the new push for renewable energy is what is referred to as the "net-zero energy installation" (NZEI). For an army base or installation to claim NZEI status, it must implement a comprehensive energy strategy that produces as much energy on-site as it uses over the course of a year. Currently, the US Army has six active NZEI pilot projects in the continental US and one in the Marshall Islands. In addition to NZEI projects, many of the Army's largest installations have begun incorporating renewable energy into their portfolios with increasing success. Fort Bliss, a massive installation spanning 1,700 square miles between Texas and New Mexico, has saved over US $2.7 million in energy costs since implementing an aggressive energy efficiency policy and is currently working on plans to expand solar and wind capacity by a further 80-150 MW across the base over the next 3 years.
Historically, the US Army has served as a catalyst in developing and scaling innovative technologies, such as the internet and GPS technology, for mass markets. Given the current economic climate and Congressional reluctance to implement significant energy policy, the military has an opportunity to break technology and policy ground with respect to renewable energy. Net-zero energy, 25 percent renewable energy policies, and innovative "land for renewables" swaps all have the potential to play a major role in mainstreaming renewable energy technologies and to give the industry as a whole a welcome boost. By providing examples of efficient and profitable large-scale energy projects, the Army may well prove itself to be a vital link in bringing renewable energy to the masses as well.

Northampton extends anti-smoking rules to outdoors
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — Northampton health officials have tightened restrictions on smoking, barring tobacco and e-cigarettes from many outdoor areas.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1f6rdGh ) that the city's Board of Health banned smoking in public and private clubs, city parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming areas, nursing homes and within 25 feet of city buildings, outdoor areas of restaurants and bus stops and taxi cab waiting areas.
The regulations take effect June 1.
Violators will be subject to a civil penalty. Building owners and managers who violate the regulations will be fined $100 for the first offense, with the penalty increasing by $100 each time.
William Mazuch, representing members of the American Legion Post, the only private club be affected by the regulations, says smoking in the Legion building is a matter of freedom of choice.

Kentucky Derby: Phipps family aims for first win with Orb
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Phipps family has enjoyed so much success in Thoroughbred racing that it wouldn't be right to lament the ones who got away.
Yes, Gladys Mills Phipps – the grandmother of Ogden Mills "Dinny" Phipps – owned Seabiscuit before he became a cult hero. And yes, there was that infamous coin flip that went the wrong way, leaving the Phipps family with a filly named The Bride and Penny Chenery with the beast who became Secretariat.
But in the 80-plus years that the Phipps family has been in Thoroughbred racing, there have been numerous accomplishments. Ogden Phipps, who died in 2002, bred nine champions, including Buckpasser, Easy Goer, Personal Ensign, and Heavenly Prize. His son, Dinny, has owned and bred five champions, including Rhythm and Inside Information.
If there is something missing from the family's résumé, however, it is a Kentucky Derby win. On Saturday, the Phipps family will have its best chance to correct that flaw when Orb heads the 20-horse field expected to run in the 139th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
"I would love to win the Derby; I would love to win lots of races," said Dinny Phipps, who owns Orb in partnership with his cousin Stuart Janney III. "The Derby is missing."
[2013 KENTUCKY DERBY: Get PPs, contender profiles, live updates]
Since 1989, when Dinny's father, Ogden, ran Easy Goer and Dinny himself started Awe Inspiring – the second- and third-place finishers behind Sunday Silence – the Phippses have been largely absent from the sport's signature event. Cynthia Phipps, Dinny's sister, ran Saarland in 2002. He finished 10th.
"I don't believe in Derby Fever. I just don't believe in running in the Derby unless you have one or two or three of the best shots in the Derby," Dinny Phipps, 72, said in a recent phone interview. "There are other things you can run in and not force your horse into it. Orb has run himself into the Derby. He deserves to be there."
Orb enters the Derby riding a four-race winning streak, including wins in the Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby this winter at Gulfstream Park. Moreover, the way he has trained over the Churchill Downs surface this week has propelled him to morning-line-favorite status.
"What he's done this winter has been extraordinary," said Phipps, who this year made his first visit to Payson Park, a training center some 90 miles north of Gulfstream where Orb was based. "How he's changed since last fall is amazing to us. He's bigger, stronger, and he put on more weight. He's a totally different-looking horse from the time he won the allowance [on Jan. 26] until the time he won the Fountain of Youth, and he's a different horse after he won the Florida Derby."
Phipps owns Orb in partnership with Janney, whose family campaigned the champion filly Ruffian. Janney almost left racing when his parents died a year apart in the late 1980s. It was his uncle, Ogden Phipps, who convinced him to stay in by agreeing to be his partner on whichever horses Janney bought or bred. That deal carried over even after Ogden's death.
"I was on the fence because I wondered if owning a racing stable was an advancement on the professional side of my life," Janney, chairman of the Bessemer Trust Co., said. "It was kind of a jump ball. When Uncle Ogden proposed that we do it this way, it sort of changed my thinking to 'Why wouldn't I do this?'
Janney himself has not run a horse in the Derby, though his parents ran Private Terms, ninth in 1988. In 1998, Janney had the Wood Memorial winner, Coronado's Quest, a physically gifted colt who neither Janney nor trainer Shug McGaughey felt had the mental capacity to handle the circus-like atmosphere of the Derby.
McGaughey, who has trained for the Phipps family since 1985 and is the trainer of Orb, has adopted the same philosophy that Phipps and Janney have when it comes to the Derby: Don't go just to go.
"I've seen that if you do make a mistake, it could be a brutal mistake," McGaughey said. "With a limited amount of horses, I really don't want to make that mistake if I don't have to, and we don't have to. I like the idea of letting the horse bring me someplace, and that's why we're here today."
Phipps credits Janney for the breeding that resulted in Orb. The mare, Lady Liberty, a daughter of Unbridled, did not accomplish much on the track for Phipps and Janney, and after her first two foals didn't perform well, Phipps admitted that if it had been up to him, she wouldn't be in the family's broodmare band.
But Janney, with some input from Claiborne Farm's Seth Hancock, decided to breed Lady Liberty to Malibu Moon, who had stood his first four seasons at stud at Country Life Farm in Maryland before moving to Kentucky.
"Being from Maryland, I was a big fan of Malibu Moon," Janney said. "From Seth's perspective, [Malibu Moon] suited Lady Liberty very well, so here we are."
For Phipps, having talented horses like Orb and Point of Entry, the multiple Grade 1-winning turf horse who runs in the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve immediately preceding the Derby, has been therapeutic. Back in September 2010, Phipps was hospitalized with a blood clot in a leg. The clot led to a "terrible infection" that cost Phipps part of his foot.
Phipps said his foot has healed to the point where he can now go the gym five or six days a week and swim three to four days a week.
"My health is good," Phipps said. "I was a very sick fellow for a couple of years. I can get around, but I can't walk that far."
In addition to being a major Thoroughbred owner and breeder, Phipps is chairman of The Jockey Club, which has recently ratcheted up pressure to eliminate medication from the game. Phipps is a big opponent of Lasix and does not start out his horses on the anti-bleeding medication, but he still does allow his horses to race on it if needed.
Orb did not race on Lasix for his first four starts but is 3 for 3 on the medication, including victories in the Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby.
"We prefer having no horses on Lasix; we're going to run our 2-year-olds with no Lasix," Phipps said. "But we got to compete with the rest of the world. We think it's a performance-enhancing drug. We can't be at a disadvantage to everybody else."
For many years, Phipps was a significant member of the New York Racing Association board of trustees. But when Gov. Andrew Cuomo took over the board late last year, Phipps was not one of the five appointed members by the old guard. Janney, however was.
"My time has come," Phipps said. "I'm fine with what I'm doing. I have a lot to do with The Jockey Club. We tried to be helpful to NYRA and continue to try to be."
Phipps and Janney will be among the last owners to arrive at Churchill Downs on Saturday. They will leave Lexington, Ky., around 1 p.m. Saturday, getting here shortly after 2.
Both Phipps and Janney believe that what they saw from Orb in the Florida Derby makes him a prime candidate for the Kentucky Derby.
"I've raced horses for a long time; I've never seen a jockey ask a horse to go on and then try to shut him down at the top of the stretch and then have him go on again," Phipps said. "I think his turn of foot has got me excited. I think he's got a really good chance to win."
