Nearly three years ago, Ilva from Lucullian Delights and I started thinking about beginning a monthly blog event dedicated to heart-healthy eating. In February of 2007, Ilva, along with Joanna from Joanna's Food, made those thoughts a reality when they launched the website for Heart of the Matter - Eating for Life and called out to the food blog community to send in their recipes for heart-healthy foods. I finally joined them in October as a host and for nearly two years, your recipes have been rounded up and archived every month so that we all have a go-to resource for diverse, heart-healthy recipes and information about heart disease.
Last month, we were concerned that we were going to have to end Heart of the Matter (HotM) because we were getting fewer and fewer entries every month. We sent out a plea for recipes and you came to our rescue - we had a whopping 20 entries! This month, we'd like to have even more! To celebrate that HotM has survived, and in honor of this very special anniversary, we've revamped the website and we're going back to our very first theme: Finger Foods. Entries will be due at midnight on Sunday, March 15. Please send your entries to my email: phillipslayden AT gmail DOT com with the subject "HotM" and link back to this announcement in your post or to the HotM blog. I'll post the round-up by March 18th.
But what would a birthday be without presents, right? Even though it is the birthday of HotM, we feel that it wouldn't exist today without YOU. So we want to give YOU a gift for being a vital part of the HotM community and participating! After the round-up is posted on the 18th, you will have one week (until March 25th) to vote for your Favorite Recipe and the recipe with the Best Presentation. The winner of the favorite recipe category will win a special box coming all the way from Ilva's home country, Italy, packed with goodies (see the photo above)! The winner of the presentation category will be sent a box from my state, Hawaii, full of delicious tropical treats, including Planted by the River exotic curds, Waialua Estate Single Origin Hawaiian dark chocolate, Red Alaea Salt, and Hawaiian grown macadamia nuts (picture to come soon)! Stay tuned after the round-up for more details on this.
Keep in mind that your entry should be low in saturated fats (lean meats and fish), be low in salt (sodium), and have loads of vegetables or fruit (nuts, wine and chocolate are also considered to be healthy for your heart in smaller quantities!). See the HotM blog, especially here and the links to various heart disease related organizations on the side bar. This list of Joanna's is also helpful as are this, this, this, this, this and this and even this post! Please only use your entry for this event so that we can keep things centered on heart-healthy recipes.
So no matter if you're new to HotM, you've been waiting for that perfect time to join in (this is it!) or if you've been participating with us since the beginning (a special thank you to you!), send in your healthiest, heartiest finger foods! See you at the party!

|System: Xbox 360*, PS3, PC
|Dev: Zeboyd Games
|Pub: Penny Arcade
|Release: June 25, 2012
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
If you didn't get a chance to play either of the previous titles, don't worry about it. Taking a few minutes to tour the Detective Agency will give you all of the back-story that you need. In fact, here are the only two pieces of information that you really need to know: 1. Tyco spouts incoherent Lovcraftian social commentary. 2. Gabe punches stuff.
There. Now you're caught up.
However, unlike the plot, the combat system is deceptively complex, and those of you who played Grandia on the PlayStation/PS2 may have a leg up on other players. The game is definitely turn-based, but it also includes an action bar that displays the order of character action. Some characters move more quickly than others or have the ability to increase their speed, which means that as the round progresses, they could skip ahead of other players/enemies in the order.
This may sound like an elementary change, but it has a pronounced effect on every decision that you make during the battle sequences. You suddenly find yourself trying to dodge their attacks with clever timing or figure out ways to push yourself ahead in the order.
And to further complicate things, Zeboyd has added what they call "Class Pins" to the mix. It's basically a secondary skill tree that allows you to level up a number of attacks and spells.
Actually, the class pins are a primo example of one glaring problem with Rain-Slick 3; there is a major emphasis on humor over gameplay. As you collect the pins, you have the ability to equip them, but their titles are frustratingly nondescript. There's no way to know what kinds of attacks you will gain (if any) until after you're actually in battle. Considering how well-thought-out the rest of the combat system is, it almost seems like an oversight on the developer's part. I'm sure it was all done in the name of comedy, but that doesn't make it right.
I'm not even going to comment on the controls. If you've played an SNES, you know how to play this game. And if you haven't played an SNES, your dad will probably enjoy this game a lot more than you will, so just hand the controller over to him. Besides, his life has probably become sad and lonely, so just give him this one thing.
At the end of the day, Rain-Slick 3 is good fun. Plus, even if you're on the fence, the game is only five bucks. How can you go wrong?

Make Your Own Colorful T-Shirts
I'd love to be talking about all the outdoor projects to do with kids this weekend, or fun-in-the-sun activities for the whole family — but I have to face the fact that in all likelihood, we will be spending the majority of our time indoors, yet again. (Can you tell I'm ready for spring?) But what says warm weather better than snazzy tie dyed t-shirts? Here are five fun ideas for kids to try their hand at wearable design.
1. Freezer Paper Scribbled Initials Shirts from Aesthetic Nest
2. Bleach Pen T-Shirt from Homespun With Love
3. Initial Shirts from The Little Sewing Shop
4. Striped Tie Dye Shirt from ILoveToCreateBlog
5. Foam Stencil T-Shirts from Multiples and More

TMZ has obtained the urgent 911 call placed by L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine -- moments after Justin Bieber blew past him on the 101 Freeway last Friday in his sports car ... allegedly breaking the 100mph barrier.
During the call, Zine tells the operator there's "a crazy chase going down" -- with 5 or 6 vehicles led by "a silver car" ... "cutting off cars" and "weaving in and out" of traffic at breakneck speeds.
Zine says they're "driving like maniacs."
Zine previously told us Bieber was going at least 100mph on the freeway -- but on the 911 tape, Zine says Bieber's going around 90.
You'll recall, Bieber was being chased by paparazzi as he flew down the freeway, weaving from lane to lane. Zine -- a former LAPD motor cop -- told us if he were on patrol he would have arrested the singer for reckless endangerment.
The CHP responded to Zine's call and a few miles down the Freeway Justin was stopped and cited for going 80.
One of the paparazzi in the chase is currently being investigated for harassment.

Eventual Spread
You can expect the plant to spread somewhere within this range estimate. It is given as a guide but can vary dependant on several factors such as soil quality and position. 1m - 1.5m
Flowering Time (?)What does this mean?
Flowering Time
A plants development is synchronised with the changing seasons and flowering is one of several changes that occur at the appropriate time of year dependent on the specific plant. While our meteorological seasons are defined by specific dates; there can be two or the weeks difference in the start and end of the horticultural 'season' between the north and south of the UK. Summer
Foliage (?)What does this mean?
Plants that have leaves all year round are classified as evergreen. They can however lose leaves sporadically throughout the year.
Deciduous plants drop their leaves in autumn, look bare in winter and put out new leaves again in spring. Some plants such a Beech retain their dead leaves until the new spring growth.
There are exceptions, some plant drop their leaves in cold winters but keep them if it is mild. These are classified as Semi-evergreen.
- Position (?)What does this mean?
Full Sun
Six or more full hours of direct sunlight but don't forget to water.
Partial Shade
Two or three hours either in early morning or late evening sun. Very limited exposure to midday sun.
Dense Shade
Usually no more than two hours direct sunlight. Usually under dense trees, shurbs or in shade cast by buildings/fences etc.Full sun
- Growth Rate Average to fast
- Soil pH (?)What does this mean?
Soil with a pH between 1 and 7 is classed as acid, ericaceous plants such as Rhododendrons need acid soil.
A neutral pH which is around 7, will be suitable for most plants. Clay soils tend to be neutral.
Soil with a pH between 7 and 14 are refereed to as Alkaline. Chalky soil is usually Alkaline. Acid, Neutral, Alkaline
Hardiness (?)What does this mean?
Fully Hardy

- Soil Type (?)What does this mean?
Chalky or lime-rich soils may be light or heavy, largely made up of calcium carbonate and are very alkaline.
Clay soils are potentially fertile and hold a high proportion of water. They drain slowly and take longer to warm up in spring.
Loam soils are s mixture of clay, sand and silt that avoid the extremes of clay or sandy soils. Fertile, well-drained and easily worked.
Sandy soils have a low clay content, drain quickly, easy to cultivate and work. They can dry out quickly and are low in plant nutrients. Often very acidic.Chalk, Clay, Loam, Sand
- Fragranced Yes
- Soil Moisture (?)What does this mean?
Well Drained
Well-drained soil allows water to percolate through reasonably quickly without pooling. Well drained soil can often be dry and lack nutrients.
Poorly Drained
Poorly Drained soil is usually saturated periodically during the growing season and remains wet for several days at a time. Saturated soil can deprive roots of oxygen.
Moist Well Drained
A moist well drained soil is the best of both worlds by combining high permeability with the ability to retain moisture. Adding well rotted organic matter to dry or wet soil will help improve both these characteristics.Moist Well-drained, Well-drained
Buying Roses from Jacksons Nurseries
At Jacksons Nurseries our roses are field grown and potted up in autumn. We sell this newly potted stock as 'Freshly Potted' up until they have had chance to root out usually by late spring. It is perfectly OK to plant freshly potted roses providing you water them well and remember that there will be little top growth until spring. If you do plant them straight away make sure the planting mix is prepared first, hold the rot close to the top of the hole as you tip the pot upside down and try to keep as much compost as possible from falling away.
Any stock remaining following the summer flowering season is trimmed back to help keep them tidy.
PLEASE NOTE: You may receive a freshly potted rose between November & April.

Rose Types
Hybrid Tea Roses (HT)
Hybrid Tea roses are probably the most popular group of roses, available in both bush and standard form they have long flower stems and shapely blooms. Blooms are typically medium to large in size, with many petals which form a distinct central cone.
Floribunda Roses (FL)
Floribunda roses bears its flowers in clusters or trusses, with several blooms open at time in each truss. A popular choice the Floribunda rose group is unrivalled for colour, reliability and longevity as a bedding display however the flower form in generally inferior to the Hybrid Tea.
Patio Roses (PATIO)
Patio roses were introduced in the 1980's and the group now contains several popular varieties. Generally low-growing roses that were once grouped with the Floribuna group but have now been put in their own group of compact versions. Usually growing about 50cm high they make excellent plants for patio containers or at the front of borders.
Climbing Roses (CLM)
Climbing roses as the name suggests are the perfect choice for covering a wall or screen. Often grouped together with Ramblers, Climbers tend to have stiffer stems, larger flowers but smaller trusses than Ramblers.
Rambling Roses (RAM)
Rambling roses are often grouped with Climbing Roses but the ramblers tend to have a more pliable stems that can be used to run along the soil to use as groundcover or can be used to make weeping standards.
Miniature Roses (MINI)
Miniature roses have increased in popularity in recent years due to their versatility, even grown indoors as temporary pot plants that grow to a maximum height of 40cm. An ideal choice for planting in tubs, edging beds and rockeries.
English Roses (ENG)
Often referred to as Austin or David Austin Roses, English roses are hybrids of old English roses and more modern varieties bread by David Austin to provide the best of both, mixing old rose shapes and scents with more modern colour range, compact habits and repeat flowering.
Planting Advice
Roses like a generous root space, so dig a deep hole approximately twice as wide as the current root system, preferably adding composted organic matter to the soil. Never plant into frozen soil – in winter, await a frost-free period. Carefully remove the pot and gently tease the roots apart to spread them around the hole. Position the plant so that the 'bud point' (the place where the shoots emerge from, where the cultivated rose was grafted onto the rootstock) is at soil level. Replace the soil, firming it down gently, then water copiously. Ideally, a general purpose fertiliser should be applied to the surrounding soil as a top dressing. We also highly recommend the use of Rose Rootgrow, which provides a friendly fungus that prevents 'rose replant syndrome'.
Buying our Roses
Pot Size
Most of our roses are supplied in a 4 litre pot although this may vary slightly depending on rose variety. If the size of pot differes significatly from 4 litres then we will make this clear somewhere on the product page.
Our roses are grown outdoors and as such are subject to seasonal changes. As we sell potted stock throughout the year your rose may not arrive and look like you expect it to. If you are uncertain how your rose will arrive (especially if buying for a gift) then we suggest you contact us prior to making a purchase.
Freshly Potted
Each year a new batch of roses is potted up ready for the following season. Once potted (usually November/December time) they go on sale as 'Freshly Potted'. If you purchase a freshly potted rose and plant it soon after you will find that when removing the rose from the pot there will be a lot of loose soil as the roots will not have had time to grow and bind the compost.
Pruned/Cut Back
In autumn the majority of our roses have finished flowering and begin to look untidy, at this point we prune them quite hard in preparation for the following season. We continue to sell roses throughout the year, when a rose has been pruned in such a way we will identify it has being so. If you are not sure what to expect then please ask prior to making a purchase. Some garden centres/supermarkets sell stock that has been grown abroad or in poly-tunnels so they look 'picture perfect' out of season, while this is ideal for a gift they are short lived once planted.

Holy Orthodox Church in North America
The first part of the article is under mediation and is being revised by User:FrJohn. Please check back in a little while.
HOCNA today
The Holy Orthodox Church in North America is an Eparchial Synod with parishes and monastic communities in Canada and the United States, as well as Europe and Africa. Today HOCNA consists of nine monastic communities with a total of almost 100 monastics and 62 parishes with an estimated 6000 faithful. Their monastic communities are well known world wide for their incense, hand painted icons and mounted icon photographs, pure beeswax candles, vestments and clerical clothing. Also, since the founding of Holy Transfiguration Monastery, the brotherhood has dedicated themselves to producing translations of texts necessary for Orthodox Church life. Many books of the lives of the Saints and concerning matters of the Faith have been published. Especially, out of desire to benefit the Church, liturgical books of primary importance have been translated into English and published by Holy Transfiguration Monastery: The Pentecostarion, The Great Horologion, the complete 12-volume set of The Menaion and The Psalter According to the Seventy. Some patristic works have also been translated and published, most notably The Ladder of Divine Ascent, The Ascetical Homilies of Saint Isaac the Syrian, and The Synodicon of Orthodoxy. HOCNA has published The Struggle Against Ecumenism, the most extensive history of the "True Orthodox Church" available in English[1] and also has published a series of tracts on the spiritual life, contemporary Church issues, and moral issues.
Hierarchs, Metropolises and Parishes
Today, HOCNA consists of Holy Transfiguration Monastery and an estimated 30 parishes throughout the United States and Canada, the most famous of which is St Nektarios American Orthodox Cathedral in Seattle, Washington[2]. Administratively, HOCNA is divided into 3 metropolises - Boston, Seatle, and Toronto. HOCNA has five hierarchs. All except one (Sergios) were monks at Holy Transfiguration Monastery for ten years or more.

A better second half of the year in China will support base metals futures prices, Goldman Sachs said in a report Wednesday.
Analysts visited China recently to gather information on Chinese metals consumption and the country's macroeconomic environment, they said in a report.
"Overall, the feedback from our trip was mixed, in line with the macroeconomic data we have been witnessing over the past month," the analysts said. "Having said this, there was a general view that there would be an improvement in Chinese activity" in the second half of 2012 over the first half of the year, they added.
Copper prices edged higher in morning trading Wednesday.

Topshop eyes growth after £500m US deal
FASHION billionaire Sir Philip Green has set his sights on takeover deals after selling a stake in his Topshop and Topman chains that values them at £2billion.
He has sold 25 per cent of the business to US private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners (LGP) for £500million, twice as much as the City had been expecting.
The deal will be used as a springboard for the US and international expansion of Topshop and Topman as the popular British brands find a new audience overseas.
It will also leave parent company Arcadia, which takes in Bhs, Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Wallis and Miss Selfridge, debt free and in a strong position to look at acquisition opportunities either alone or in partnership with LGP.
Green, who walked away from an audacious £9billion approach for Marks & Spencer in 2004, declined to go into details about possible bids.
He said: "We've got nothing on our radar at the moment but given that we are debt free and that LGP has got substantial capital, let's get to the new year and see what happens."
I liked the people and I liked what they have done in the US
LGP is an investor in a string of major US retailers including clothing chain J Crew, organic grocer Whole Foods Market and pet products store Petco.
Green wants to use its expertise and financial clout to drive the American expansion of Topshop and Topman following successful openings in New York, Chicago and Las Vegas and another planned for Los Angeles in the new year. He is also looking at opportunities in Asia.
Green insisted that he did not need to do the deal and had not been marketing his business or had any discussions with anyone else.
"I liked the people and I liked what they have done in the US," he said.
"I felt that we are in a time of a lot of uncertainty. So having a partner who knows the market, so we are not guessing, and leaving our group debt free makes a lot of sense.
"There is nothing we couldn't have done on our own but this is a safety net. Getting in an experienced investor to work with the brand got me excited."
There are 750 Topshop stores in 37 countries, including 319 in the UK, most of them joint sites with Topman.

Mastroberardino Greco di Tufo 2001
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Named "Oenotria" by the ancient Greeks for its abundance of grapevines, Italy has always had a culture that is virtually inextricable from wine. Wine grapes are grown just about everywhere throughout the country—a long and narrow boot-shaped peninsula extending into the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. The defining geographical feature of the country is the Apennine Mountain range, extending from Liguria in the north to Calabria in the south. The island of Sicily nearly grazes the toe of Italy's boot, while Sardinia lies to the country's west. Climate varies significantly throughout the country, with temperature being somewhat more dependent on elevation than latitude, though it is safe to generalize that the south is warmer. Much of the highest quality viticulture takes place on gently rolling, picturesque hillsides.
Italy boasts more indigenous varieties than any other country—between 500 and 800, depending on whom you ask—and most wine production relies upon these native grapes. In some regions, international varieties have worked their way in, but their use is declining in popularity, especially as younger growers begun to take interest in rediscovering forgotten local specialties. Sangiovese is the most widely planted variety in the country, reaching its greatest potential in parts of Tuscany. Nebbiolo is the prized grape of Piedmont in the northwest, producing singular, complex and age-worthy wines. Other important varieties include Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Barbera, Nero d'Avola and of course, Pinot Grigio.
This late-ripening variety from Campania flaunts an invigorating mineral character—more so than its other regional white grape compatriots, Fiano and Falanghina. Bursting with fresh citrus, stone fruit, herb and spice, Greco di Tufo wines are dark lemon or gold in color but as that might suggest, aren't particularly heavy on the palate. The wines are medium- to full-bodied and have a relatively high acidity. The name Tufo comes from the soft, volcanic rock found all over in the subsoil of the region where Greco thrives.

Advocates found the spark that would ignite the general public's interest with the publication of the Rev. John E. Johnson's rather lurid tale of The Boa Constrictor of the White Mountains; or the Worst Trust in the World in 1900. "Summer visitors to this section of the White Mountains have noticed the many deserted farms and dilapidated buildings and have wondered at such scenes, not dreaming that the cause was to be found in the operations of a company chartered to do it; that this desolation was due to the gradual tightening of the coils of a boa constrictor legalized to crush the human life out of these regions, preparatory to stripping them of their forests." He blamed George James' predatory New Hampshire Land Company, a large and rapacious timber company. "What is its object? To deforest and depopulate the region lying around the head waters of the Merrimack River in the heart of the White Mountains." He asked that both state political parties unite "in an attempt to crush such an unmitigated outrage upon the rights of humanity."
The New England Homestead, a magazine found in the home of almost every New England farmer, spread the news and let readers know that:
The state of New Hampshire is facing a crisis. The destruction of the forests has reached a point where the very source of her wealth and the most potent factor in the economic life of her people is threatened a blow beyond reparation. She is in the grip of the lumbermen and land speculators, and whether or not she will free herself is of vital concern, not only to herself but to the great manufacturing interests centering along the Merrimac river in Massachusetts and to that vast body of people at large who turn to the White Mountains in quest of health and recreation.… Talk alone cuts no figure. The lumber barons are united as one man. The vast public, if united as one man, can easily secure justice. Protest, long and loud, is well enough, but let us organize so as to make protest effective. … Instant action is imperative.
The next week, the Homestead printed a membership application "To save New England's farms, homes and industries" and the editorial column was full of letters of support. The public was solidly behind the project.

Everyone is looking for younger looking skin, whether you are already getting older and want to look younger, or you just want to preserve your current healthy skin.
Unfortunately, there are so many products saturating the market, it can be confusing to figure out which ones are right for you. That's why it's so important to learn how to spot the best anti aging skin care products, and what products you should avoid. Here are a few tips to help you out.
Prevention Is The Best Medicine
The single best way to combat the effects of aging on your skin is to take good care of it. Protecting your skin and treating it well will ensure that it looks great, even as you get older. Hydration is important, as taking in enough water is essential if you want your skin to be supple and elastic. Proper nutrition will also go a long way to ensure your skin is healthy and blemish-free. Avoid smoking and excessive sun exposure. These two factors are the most common causes of premature skin aging.
Another thing to remember when trying to protect your skin and keep it healthy is the importance of proper hygiene. Never go to bed with a dirty face or while still wearing your makeup. Wash gently with a good cleanser and don't scrub too hard. Work the cleanser into your skin using a gentle touch and a circular pattern. Then rinse and pat dry. Again, pat, don't rub your skin when you dry it, as that will cause microscopic abrasions that hasten the effects of time.
While drinking enough water is important for well-moisturized skin, some people are prone to dry skin no matter how much they drink. If you have dry skin, it is important to choose products that retain or increase the moisture in your skin. Dry skin is more prone to damage, such as cracking, flaking, and loss of elasticity. These can all make you look older than you really are.
When looking at moisturizing products, natural is always best. Coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado oil are all great ingredients to watch for. They are similar in composition to the natural oils found in your skin, so are a great replacement when your skin is too dry.
Best Anti Aging Skin Care Creams And Serums
If you are already suffering from the effects of aging skin, it's never too late to improve the look and feel of your skin. Skin care technology has advanced a great deal, and there are new medical breakthroughs on a regular basis. One of the biggest when it comes to combating aging is Retinol-A. This fat-soluble vitamin that can drastically improve the look and health of your skin.
Look for products containing Retinol, Vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid. The latter is a powerful moisturizing agent that is soothing and especially beneficial to people with sensitive skin as Retinol can occasionally cause some irritation.
Choosing a skin care product to help you look younger doesn't have to be difficult. When you have a good basic knowledge of what ingredients are good, you can check product labels and make an informed choice. WIth the information you learned here, you will be well-equipped to choose the right product for your skin.

PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J.—With the goal of spreading adoption of smart card technology for physical access control, the Smart Card Alliance has embarked on an effort to define in a white paper best practices and characteristics of a highly secure smart card (like the PIV or PIV-I credential) for the commercial market.
To differentiate this commercial credential from its public-sector siblings, the Smart Card Alliance has named it the CIV (commercial identification verification) credential.

November 2010

Star is one of our resident Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos and is a pioneer of the Australia Zoo Bird Show. She's generally known as the queen bee around the Zoo and has been performing in the Crocoseum since the show first began back in 2005.
Star knows what she wants and makes her own rules. When each show starts, we pull down the aviary release hatches and all the birds make their way out into the arena. Not Star, she always waits until all the other birds have left, and only then will she make her grand entrance. She does this everyday without fail!
She may like to be the last bird out, but she also likes to be the first bird home. If she doesn't get her way you may witness a bird tantrum and see the tail end of her flying off into the distance - of course she comes back, but only when she's good and ready.
Star is the one bird that every handler wants to fly, but for some it will always be a dream. Star makes up her mind pretty quick about her handlers and some have worked around her for five years trying everything they can to get on her good side, but she won't have any of it!
She is also the master of escape. She uses her beak to grind the ends down on small sticks and then pokes them through the mesh of her aviary, flicking at the latch until it pops off the lock. Cheeky girl! She would rather do this to amuse herself than play with any of her toys.
During the shows, Star will dive bomb the cleaning staff if she spots them in the stands and sometimes she decides to chew the speaker cables high up in the rafters, so they dangle down and we have to get a cherry picker up there to fix them.
Our two Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos, Matari and Lueka are both in love with Star and chase her around all the time, they must enjoy a good challenge!
It's all in a days work for Star and you can tell just by watching her that she doesn't have a care in the world. She does what she wants to do and knows she looks good doing it. To work with Star is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding parts of being a bird trainer at Australia Zoo.
Next time you see the show, keep an eye out for this cheeky cockatoo, who will no doubt be swooping effortlessly around the Crocoseum, making a spectacle of herself - she is definitely the one to watch!

A Summer's Night is an exciting upbeat Classical piece that features pizzicato strings, pianos, harps, flutes and tuned orchestral percussion. It has a very relaxed and an almost childish comedic feel. A bouncy Waltz type rhythm is played by a string quartet mixed in with harps, bassoons and pianos. The main themes of this track are Carefree, Youthful, Sunny, Cheerful, Triumph, Romance, Happiness, Dancing, Jazz, Human Emotions, Connection, Drama, Art, Love, Weddings and Summer fun.
This could be the theme tune for a children's TV program or a quirky song for a cartoon or a game of cat and mouse. This track has a very hopeful and happy vibe to it as well. Also would work well for any of the following things – Corporate Videos, Website Music, Children's Themed Projects, Wedding Videos, Video Montages, Documentaries, Visuals, TV Commercials, Happy Things, Youtube Videos, Summer, Video Games, Slow Dance scenes and synchronized visuals or dancing since the rhythm is very syncopated and synchronized.
Please leave a rating if you purchase this track. Videohive authors – please feel free to use the preview file for anything. If you need help about anything to do with this track – feel free to send me a message.

Researchers at the USDA laboratory at Weslaco, Texas, have confirmed Asian soybean rust on soybeans at the Texas A&M Experiment Station (Hidalgo County).
Texas A&M agronomist Tom Isakeit says plant pathologist Marvin Miller reported the finding after examining a sample collected by technician Robert Saldana February 14.
"Identification was confirmed with an ELISA test by Larry Barnes of the
Texas Plant Disease Diagnostic clinic on February 16," Isakeit says.
John McKemy, PCR, and Laurene Levy, with the USDA-APHIS laboratories, also confirmed the sample as Asian soybean rust on February 22.
"This was in a field I had surveyed in December, 2005, and had not seen any symptoms of rust," Isakeit says. "As of February 14, the field was being harvested.
"Miller reported that rust was quite prevalent on plants at the ends of the rows. These plants were a little less mature than the rest of the crop."
Isakeit says the field is about one acre in size and will not serve as a source of spores, since it has been harvested. "This field was planted much later than usual. Normally, soybeans in this part of the state would have been harvested by mid December.
"The soybean sentinel plot in Weslaco was planted in mid-February. There are no other soybeans around and there is no kudzu in this area of the state."
Isakeit says prognosis for the 2006 season is uncertain. "It depends upon the weather in the spring. This is a situation where the sentinel plots in south Texas will really prove their worth," he says.

text: The search for measurability of investment continues to dog the emergent social media space. Facebook and social network advertising produces notoriously poor results, leaving global marketers scratching their heads trying to figure how to engage with the explosive amount of attention being paid to this space by consumers and B2B buyers alike. Recent studies show that a substantial number of CXOs conduct their own online research, making it a key medium to connect with decision makers, and the staggering growth of Facebook (250 million members since it launched five years ago in a Harvard dorm room) outpaces nearly every other medium in history. But a definitive model connecting buyers to vendors has yet to emerge. (more…)

While 11 firefighters were reported injured battling the blaze, and dozens of residents are now looking for a place to stay, nobody was seriously hurt.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
Arthur Rabich said he first started smelling smoke in his home at 78-15 68th Ave. at around 7 p.m. He said his wife suggested checking the airshaft near the bedroom roughly 30 minutes later. That's when it all began.
"I went to the window and opened the blinds, and baboom!" he said Tuesday afternoon. "A fireball went right up, and that was it."
He said the fire started in the airshaft between his home and his neighbor at 78-13 68th Ave., and that firefighters told him it must have been smoldering for "at least seven hours."
"As soon as I saw the fireball I got everyone out," he said.
Both his wife and 26-year-old daughter were home.
Rabich said he is in between changing insurance companies and lost nearly everything in his home. However, he was still grateful that no one was seriously injured or killed.
"We saved some of her clothes that didn't get wet or nothing," he said. "But nobody was hurt, thank god."
Konstantino Caporal was watching television with his family next door when he heard Rabich out front calling for help.
"I came out and my friend Artie over here was saying, 'get your kids out, get your wife out, there's a fire,'" Caporal recalled. "I got my dog, one cat, and the one cat that was stuck in there during the fire survived."
Caporal, who has lived on the block for the last 10 years, is now staying in a hotel and currently looking for a rental while cleanup crews and workers finish the repairs.
His daughter Caitlin said she was happy no one was hurt.
"I'm relieved we found our other cat," she said. "It was important that the fire happened earlier rather than when we were sleeping."

The Football Association of Wales have refused to comment on speculation that Sheffield United's Gary Speed is set to be appointed as the new manager of the national side.
Reports have suggested that the 41-year-old, who has only held his position with the npower Championship club since August, was set to be unveiled as the permanent successor to John Toshack.
But an FAW spokesman told Press Association Sport that they were not able to comment on Speed's situation, that he had not been interviewed and they were looking to make an announcement on Tuesday.
Blades chief executive Trevor Birch said that the club have not received any approach to speak to manager Speed .
Wales have been looking to make an appointment since John Toshack left in September following a disappointing start to the qualification campaign for Euro 2012.
Under-21s coach Brian Flynn has been in temporary charge since and is also among the contenders to take the job on permanently.

DIY Upcycled Box Table

2 of 3
3 of 3
Check out this stylish side table created out of an old door by Kim Werker and her husband Greg. This is a project for someone with a little wood working know-how. We love the shape and how perfectly it nestles into its new home.
This table was inspired by a side table by Frank Flavell, a British design student. They changed a couple of things around to make it their own and built it to fit perfectly into their entryway.
Click on over to Kim's Blog to see more photos and a description detailing how this table was made.

The ukulele, the slide guitar and Maui — put them all together and the music of Hawaii will embrace you, enchant you and it might even make you fall in love.
Maui has an astonishing number of talented musicians who make sweet music from brunch till dusk and then play late into the night at kanikapila, the Hawaiian equivalent of kitchen parties. International acts visit often and Grammy-award winning local artists and world-famous rock stars make Maui their home. You'll find everything from rock to jaiwaiian — if you know where to look. Almost every first-time visitor wants to take in a luau and that can be just the beginning for an exploration of the rich musical history of Maui.
The music of Maui began with the sea. When the first islanders arrived in their canoes from Polynesia around 400 AD, they were already on intimate terms with the rhythm of the waves. With that silky, steady back beat on the sandy shore, they raised their voices in complex harmonies of chants called mele oli. Then, using what nature provided, they created instruments from gourds, bamboo, rocks and conch shells to accompany the dancers in mele hula. When the missionaries arrived in 1820 they translated hymns into Hawaiian himeni and the churches swelled with converts. Guitars arrived shortly after, followed by the braguinha brought to the islands in 1879 by Portuguese sailors. Hawaiians called it the Uku lele, which translates to "jumping flea," a good way to describe the flying fingers of a ukulele player.
A stay at the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel will put you in touch with the music, culture and values of the ancient Hawaiians. A unique Po'okela (excellence) program for staff focuses on the geography, religion, mythology, economics and technology of old Hawaii. The goal is to impart the essence of Hawaiian culture, an open-hearted sharing, to guests and to the community. Of course, that includes music. This spring, for the fifth year, the hotel hosted the Maui Hawaiian Steel Guitar Festival featuring five Hawaiian steel guitar masters sharing their talents through performances, workshops and kanikapila jam sessions.
According to steel guitar artist Joel Katz, one of the headliners, "Steel guitar is quintessentially Hawaiian. After all, the first steel guitar was invented in Hawaii in the 1880s by Joe Kekuku when he was just 15. The soulful sound made by drawing a steel bar across the strings became a sensation and Kekuku travelled to the U.S. and Europe influencing jazz and blues artists and finding a special kinship with country guitar players.
Katz plays an eight-string vintage Guya Tone. "When I play, it feels like the guitar has its own voice. The slides and inflections are like a dialogue. It's so expressive it even has a sense of humour." Katz's influences include renowned country artist Jerry Byrd, who tutored Jerry Garcia and Jimmy Vaughn and played with the greats — Hank Williams, Ernest Tubbs and Patsy Cline.
You can hear Joel perform at the première luau in Maui, the Old Lahaina Luau. There are a dozen luaus on Maui, but this one is outstanding. As the sun sets on the beach behind the circular stage you'll be drawn into the ancient mythology of the early Polynesians through story, song and dance.
On Wednesday nights, you don't want to miss George Kahumoku Jr.'s Slack Key Show — Masters of Hawaiian Music at the Napili Kai Beach Resort.
The winner of four Grammy Awards for Best Hawaiian Album, Uncle George invites the best slack key, ukulele and steel guitar artists from the islands and around the world to share the stage. Ledward Ka'apana, the slack key guitar virtuoso, is a regular, with his own following of "Led Heads." Slack key combines open tunings with a finger picking style that alternates bass, rhythm and melody, all on one instrument. Traditionally slack key tunings were closely guarded secrets, but these days they're openly shared and celebrated. It's a style that's never harsh, never jarring, always melodious and often playful. As the night ends, all the headliners gather on stage and the music floats through the open air pavilion up into the starry night. Stay here and you can enjoy a moonlight stroll through fragrant gardens to your condo by the sea after the concert.
The bay is a perfect place for novice paddle boarders and snorkellers. It's hard to believe when you look out at the immaculately landscaped grounds of the Napili Kai that this idyllic site was once covered in thorn trees and skunk cabbage. Fifty years of hard work by Canadian owners created such a friendly atmosphere that families return annually and staff stay on for decades.
If rock 'n roll is more your style, drop in to Fleetwood's on Front Street in Lahaina and have a cocktail on the rooftop patio overlooking the harbour. Come by around 6:30 p.m. when a bagpiper salutes the sunset. After dark it's a perfect spot to recline on the Moroccan style benches covered in throw pillows and watch the stars. The owner is none other than Mick Fleetwood and an expensive drum kit sits on the second floor stage waiting for his occasional visits while live bands play the rooftop Thursday through Saturday.
In Wailea, the sunny southern part of the island, the Fairmont Kea Lani makes a great home base for music lovers. This all suite and villa luxury property has more than 20 acres of lush landscaped grounds, three meandering pools and a classic powder white beachfront.
One of the best places to watch the sunset is the Fairmont's open air Luana Lounge that overlooks the pool and the ocean from a marble balcony. Luana means "relax" in Hawaiian and you will, especially if you're listening to the laid back classical guitar of a friendly local musician like Eddee Sebala. A native Hawaiian, Eddee joined the navy and moved to Scotland for seven years to work on a nuclear submarine before he got tired of the snow and decided to follow his dream. "All I ever wanted was to play music and make people happy and now that's what I do." Eddee brings the open hearted spirit of Hawaii to life.
Starting from the Fairmont you can sample live music from jazz to jaiwaiian (Hawaiian reggae) at any of the lobby bars along the 2.4 km interpretive Coastal Walk. It skirts the coastline with the Four Seasons, the Grand Wailea, Wailea Beach Marriott and the new Andaz Maui at Wailea on the right and the pounding surf of the ocean on the left. Pop in during hana hou, Hawaiian happy hour, to see Reiko Fukino, a guitar player with a vast repertoire, at the Grand Wailea. "I like to mix it up," she says "There are a lot of excellent musicians playing the lounges here like Sal Godinez on piano and Marcus Johnson on bass playing jazz at the Four Seasons and the pianist and composer Gene Argel. If you find someone you like, just ask them where they're playing next."
No musical trip to Maui would be complete without a visit to the Maui Arts and Cultural Center in Kahului. Over 1,700 music, dance and art exhibits take place here every year in the multi-functional performance and gallery spaces. Such acts as Elton John, James Taylor, Steve Miller and Canada's own Delhi 2 Dublin have performed here and Hawaiian musicians take the stage at festivals held here all year round. With so many artists to choose from, you're bound to fall in love with the music of Maui.

Believe it or not, the silver tray just had its annual polishing.
It's a royal pain to keep shiny, the handles especially.
I thought the teapot was sort of "autumn-ish".
No maker mark, only "Made in Brazil" and "hand-painted".
The bottom of the cream pitcher is blank;
but the sugar bowl is Pfaltzgraff.
The teacups are Wedgewood's Patrician pattern, circa 1960s,
from a set of six that I've had for a couple of decades.
Never had saucers; we only used them for eggnog at Christmas.
They're sitting on a Wedgewood saucer and a bread-butter
plate I was thrilled to find recently in a thrift shop.
I don't care they're the Hedge Rose pattern - it's enough
to have anything Wedgewood to put under the cups!
Below is the maker's mark on the saucer, which
denotes it was made in July, 1966. The bread
and butter plate was made in November, 1964.
Which one doesn't belong?
Here you can see the Wedgewood cups aren't white, but creme.
Never noticed this until I got the saucer and B&B plate!
But mainly I just wanted to show off a new tea table...
On the way to my son's Sunday to have the car winterized,
I thought my eyes were deceiving me. A yard sale on Sunday?
Yep, and being a nice day, it was drawing quite a crowd!
Actually, the table will be my laptop desk, and the treadle
sewing machine base with the laminated top that's been a
sturdy computer desk for several generations of desktops
can finally be used for...sewing. What a concept.
Tea Things Tuesday is hosted by the
Lovely Kim at Shabby Pink and Pretty,
where you can check out other TTT entries.
Silk Purse invites you to
Tuesday Tea For Two
at The Plumed Pen
Tea and Friendship Tuesdays
is hosted (hostessed?) by Charli and Me
Happy Tea Time!

The Advantages of fffering coupons online
Offering digital coupons for products in an online store can have numerous benefits. You can sell products quickly, sell more products on top of the discounted ones, and increase traffic on your website. In addition, by providing internet coupons, you can enhance your company's brand and promote customer loyalty. Online coupons minimize advertising costs while maximizing your marketing flexibility. Read on to find out how offering discounts in the form of internet coupons can increase your profits.
Sell products fast
Offering coupons is a great way to move inventory fast. If you have outdated, expiring or old inventory, you can make sure that it clears by providing coupons with deep discounts. In addition, since you have control over your coupon book business, you decide at what pace your coupons are delivered. Coupons designed to sell products as quickly as possible might be spread across the internet through affiliate programs or other advertising platforms, while major coupons only intended for existing customers might be delivered through email in advance of the sale period. The internet coupon business is one that requires some research, so make sure that your delivery methods are complementary to your target audience -- this will help you sell your products as quickly as possible within your desired time frame.
Sell more products
Coupons for specific products can help you move other items, too. Here's how: when a customer applies a coupon for one item, you can upsell a related product. For example, if you offer a coupon for a flashlight, you have the chance to sell batteries, which would be more profitable for you. When you take advantage of upselling practices, you can make money instead of losing it through the provided discount. With sophisticated ecommerce software, you can suggest products that are relevant to a customer's interests and behavior on your website, which can increase the possibility of retail sales.
Increase traffic to your website
Since digital coupons are not regulated to one particular place, like newspapers, you may find that your coupon can travel across the internet fast, which can result in a greater brand awareness and more traffic on your website. One trick of the internet coupon business is to include item brand names on coupons to increase traffic. When consumers are looking for products, they are often looking for specific brands, and including this information on the coupon can lead them back to your website. In this way, you can capitalize on consumer loyalty to product brands. The internet coupon book business is large, and you can design your coupons so that prospects viewing them on a third-party website will have to click on them to visit your website, see details of the coupons, and redeem them.
Enhance your brand
While a coupon business opportunity primarily advertises the products you are discounting, it can also advertise your business. Your company's name, address, and other pertinent information should be featured prominently on the coupon. Doing so will have prospects perceive your company as one that offers deals, leading them to visit your website for other discounts.
Promote customer loyalty
The internet coupon business is a great way to bring back loyal customers and to introduce new ones to your store. Coupons targeted to return customers increase the probability that those customers will keep visiting your store, making them part of your legitimate customer base. It should be noted, however, that if you offer inconsistent coupons, prospects and customers will be less likely to return to your online business. This is especially true of stores with a less-than-recognizable company brand. Keeping your customers swimming in deals can actually increase your profits and keep your customers away from the competition.
Minimize advertising costs and maximize flexibility
Digital coupons are much more inexpensive to produce than paper local business coupons. Unlike local business coupons, you will have complete control over coupon creation with software, and security measures like codes can be implemented to guard against abuse or unauthorized use. Coupon software makes coupon creation fast and easy, and can make your coupon functional as soon as it's designed. Similarly, control over your coupons extends to when and where you offer your coupons. For instance, you might choose to offer a coupon when a prospect visits your website, while they're shopping for items in your store, or after they've completed their order. If your online business uses ecommerce software that monitors and reports user activity on your website, you can jump on this coupon business opportunity by offering coupons based on what products a user is interested in.

Freddie Starr dismisses groping claims
The funnyman has dismissed Karin Ward's allegation that he tried to touch her breasts when she was 14, while visiting late entertainer Sir Jimmy Savile at the BBC Television Centre in London.
Ward's claims come amid growing uproar over accusations Savile, who died last year (11), sexually abused children during his heyday.
Starr says, "I have never been in any situation with Jimmy Savile... and I have certainly never been with this woman. I think these women are very brave to come forward, but they shouldn't drag my name through the mud.
"I completely understand their predicaments, but when they are doing it for a reason, and trying to pick names out of a hat, saying 'he'll do, Freddie Starr will do' - they could have picked anyone. It could have been some other poor b**tard.
"It's horrible to be faced with this. They've done this, going after a book deal regardless of the consequences. I think there are more to come forward - and I think there should be a police investigation into it now.
"I've never touched any underaged girl in my life. Paedophiles are a pet hate of mine, so I refute (the allegations) completely."
Savile was the focus of a controversial expose titled Exposure: The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile, which aired on ITV on Wednesday (03Oct12), and now BBC bosses have vowed to help police with any investigation into the claims.
In a statement to staff at the BBC, the network's Director General George Entwistle writes, "Like everyone who works here, I was appalled by the things I saw in the ITV documentary. I am determined that the corporation will do absolutely everything it can to help find out what happened.
"I have personally been in touch with the police at a senior level to discuss how we should proceed and I have agreed that we should work closely with them. I'm certain this is the right thing to do.
"This is a deeply upsetting issue which I know has horrified people across the BBC, and our thoughts and sympathies are and must be with the women affected. I am absolutely determined that we will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to support the police."
