RBC I The Bureau of Land Management announced today it will extend the public comment period on its draft Colorado River Valley Resource Management Plan until Feb. 29.
The plan will provide a framework to guide subsequent management decisions on 505,000 surface acres and 707,000 acres of subsurface mineral estate administered by the BLM Field Office in Eagle, Garfield, Mesa, Pitkin, Rio Blanco and Routt counties for the next several decades.
The comment period was set to end today. BLM extended the comment period in response to requests from Senator Michael Bennet, U.S. Representative Scott Tipton, and Governor John Hickenlooper.
"Our goal from the beginning of this comment period has been to get specific, detailed comments from the public about our draft alternatives," said acting Colorado River valley field manager Karl Mendonca. "If you have already submitted your comments, you will be able to amend those comments if necessary."
The draft RMP for the Colorado River Valley Field Office was released for a 90-day public comment period on Sept. 15. In early December, BLM extended the comment period an additional 32 days. With the additional extension announced today, the public comment period for this plan will be a total of 165 days.
"We appreciate that this draft plan is large and complex," Mendonca said. "We believe that extending the deadline through the end of February should give everyone enough time to review the document and provide detailed comments."
The draft RMP analyzes four alternatives covering all aspects of BLM land and mineral management within the Colorado River Valley Field Office boundaries, including recreation, travel management, energy development, resource protection, wildlife habitat, special designations, grazing and realty actions.
The comment period for the draft RMP for the neighboring Kremmling Field Office ends today. For additional information including how to provide comments or obtain a copy of the draft RMP, visit http://www.blm. gov/co/st/en/BLM_Programs/land_use_planning/rmp/kfo-gsfo.html
BLM will use the public comments to help develop a proposed RMP/final EIS for each of these field offices, which are scheduled for release in 2012.

Guest Reviews | Key West Hotel Reviews
We very much enjoy the Key Lime Inn. It is comfortable and quiet, but within walking distance of old town Key West and its sights. Every afternoon we enjoy returning to the quiet of the pool. Breakfast around the pool is lovely. Everyone on the staff is pleasant and helpful.

The Flaming Buoy Restaurant is great. Food is outstanding and interesting, and it is an easy walk from the Key Lime Inn.

Let's add "Happy New Year" to the file with "Have a good day," "How are you?," "I'm fine how are you?," and all the other things that flow out of our mouths before we put our brains in gear. I know these are tough times for so many. I see many of my friends struggling with financial problems and know life is neither happy nor secure for them right now. I also have enough sense to remember the many times when my life changed. One of those times was when I could no longer work due to pain and disease. I know it could also happen to my husband, who I hate to see in pain and is also our primary breadwinner. We are all vulnerable. It's so easy to panic in tough times and to worry. Since that's the last thing we need when we live with chronic pain, let's just step back and take a look at the situation. Financial problems piled on top of our faltering health are not at all fair. Do the Queensberry rules allow that to happen? Apparently, all the rules of fair play are thrown out the window these days. Most of us who have been running around with pain and health issues — and I use the word "run" very loosely — know life is not fair. Has it ever been fair? I'm not certain, but I think that's something Hans Christian Andersen made children believe. They learn very early to say, "That's not fair!" This leads me to list a few rules which I think could help all of us as we face a new year in our lives.
Sue's Three Lists for the New Year
- Life isn't fair. Accept it, get over it and move on. Tick, tock…that's your life and mine passing us by.
- Make a list of everything you're worried about in your life. Include finances, health issues, family members and friends who may be problematic. Double space it so you can make notes later…you'll see.
- Look at your list and put a numerical rating beside each worry as to how likely you think it is to be a problem. For instance, health problems would probably rate a ten.
- Now, draw a line through anything that you can't do anything about. Get them off the list.
- Take a serious look at what is left on your list, and if you need to, think about them, even if they are painful. This is your list and it's between you and your own mind and heart.
- Read your revised list and ask yourself which things you have the power to change and what you want to do about it. Do you need a new doctor this year? Is there a broken relationship you can do something about? If you can't, then draw a line through it. Do you need to lose weight? Could you give some new therapies a try — like physical therapy, a TENS unit, massage therapy, acupuncture? Leave no possibilities out of the picture.
- Put the list aside and let it "ripen" for 24 hours because new ideas may occur and it will "cook" in your subconscious during that time.
- Let the subconscious handle it, and when any of these thoughts come to you, pray about them. Put them out of your mind. If you don't believe in prayer, just release them into the universe. Let go of all these problems and send them out of your mind when they get in there. Take a time out and let the power of life handle them just for 24 hours. No, no, put it away and take a few deep breaths.
- Get out your first list and look at each item. After 24 hours of seasoning, it may look altered.
- Write down any new solutions or ideas that come to mind next to the problem, however wild or out there.
- Tell yourself, "This is my life, and I am in charge." I can't emphasize that enough. It's not God's fault, it's not your mama's fault, etc. Sometimes bad things just happen and we are stuck with the clean-up.
- Get active in your own life. This is no time for passivity. Lying on the couch in that old bathrobe won't solve a thing. So it hurts to get up and get dressed? Make a choice because that clock is ticking away.
- If you're facing financial problems, as so many are right now, take a look at creditors, your assets, your liabilities and any answers you can come up with.
- Ask yourself, "What is the worst thing that can happen to me?" Look it in the eye, face it, and try not to fear it. I know how difficult it is. Just remember: they can't kill you, eat you, or take away your young.
- As calmly as possible, confront your life. I know your stomach is churning, your pulse is racing and there is often much to fear. Try to stay in charge. THIS IS YOUR LIFE, NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S.
- Don't be afraid of your emotions. It's okay to curse, cry, shout and let loose. Just don't hurt yourself or anyone else. That's counterproductive. You're just trying to release the steam valve before you blow a gasket.
- Write down the name of everyone you love and those who also love you.
- Make a list of everything around you that you like or love. There should be at least one material item near you that is valuable to you in a sensory way. It may be your computer, a picture of family, a beloved family pet…or two. Give that pet a moment of your time, a rub or just a hug. They so faithfully wait around for us to share, don't they?
- Look out your window and be thankful for what you see. Is it a beautiful tree that's older than you? Is it a flowering camellia bush now dormant but rich with buds waiting for spring? Perhaps it's a bird sitting on a wire, like our seagulls and crows that peek in on us from time to time as they oversee our wet little town. Oh, the stories they could caw.
- Ask yourself if those birds ever worry about life. I've shared with you previously about one seagull with only one leg who manages to survive and get on with his life. Maybe he has a girlfriend, plans to drop an oyster shell on the cement so he can eat the heart of it, or just has plans to go for a flight. He doesn't seem to be complaining more than the others and certainly looks fit — except for that missing leg.
- Look at your bookshelves, DVDs or CDs, and think of all the memories and stories that are stored there. Look at all your family pictures. Say a word of thanks for each of them.
- I know we all grow tired of the phrase, "You have to be positive," so let's look at it differently. Let's expect good news this year. Let's find better ways to deal with that which we cannot change. Let's not be afraid to be creative in our approach to life.
- Learn to embrace change. You're never too young, too old, or too implanted where you are to justify not changing. There just may be something around the next corner that you would never find if you didn't move your legs and walk forward. If you have to use a cane or a walker, do it. If you have to sell your new car and get a used one, do it. If you have to eat veggies and hamburger instead of steak, do it.
- Okay, I know this may sound very corny, but bear with me. Put your arms around yourself and say, "I love me. I love who I am or who I can be." Told you it was corny, but it works. While you're at it, take an honest look at your talents and varied abilities.
- Rest assured, there are answers out there for you. If you are completely void of love, help, or health, remember nature loves a void because it always gets filled. Expect a fill-up this year.
- Simplify your life. Thoreau, if you're listening, I know you love that. We all make life too complicated and get so caught up in it we cannot receive the answers when they knock on our door. While you're simplifying life, remember you are not alone. Many of us are going through the same challenges each and every day. It's not just you. We're together.

I've been tasked with improving the performance of a piece of software at work, which means I need to find a profiler- not only to help track down problematic code, but maybe even more importantly, to measure how much I've actually improved the system.
There are some basic things I could do, such as timing how long it takes for a method to run (or how long it takes to run 1000 times). However, the systems at work are not the most reliable machines, so that type of performance can depend on how many people are using a machine, what processes are running, which direction the wind is blowing at that moment, etc. So in a perfect world I'd find a profiler that will give me data that's more useful than raw times.
I'm usually an opponent of optimization (unless things are unusable, and in this case they are), so I don't really know anything about profilers. I'm using a program called FindBugs that will point out potentially crappy pieces of code, but I'm still not quite sure how to actually measure the performance. I've looked into JProfiler, but that's apparently not free.
I'm going to send out an email at work asking their opinion, but I thought I'd check here to see if you guys have any experience with something I haven't heard about. Thanks for your time.

Sunday's Obituary - Mrs. Wilbert Dart
I had previously posted a photo clipped from a newspaper about their golden wedding anniversary and in that I made the guess that the hand-written date on the clipping more likely referred to the actual date of their anniversary rather than the publication date in the newspaper. Well, according to this obituary, they were married on December 30th 1919. We all know that obituaries are only as good as the person submitting the information so this isn't conclusive proof of a wedding date, but it did narrow it down a bit.
The obituary was published in the Green Bay Press-Gazette on Thursday, December 16th, 1976 (page B9). Alice died on Wednesday, December 16th, 1976. Just shy of their 57th anniversary.
I do tend to cringe a bit when I see obituaries that say "Mrs So-And-So" died, but this obituary was well written. Even when it mentions her daughter and granddaughter it inserts their given names. Great tips for researchers in obituaries like this.
Alice was my husband great, grand aunt.
"Mrs. Wilbert Dart
Mrs. Wilbert (Alice) Dart, 83, Rt. 3, Luxemburg, died unexpectedly Wednesday evening at her home. The former Alice Delveaux was born June 4, 1893 in Duval, Wis. On Dec. 30, 1919, she married Mr. Dart at Duval. She was a member of the St. Elizabeth Society of St. Amand Church and a member of the World War I Veterans Auxillary.
Survivors are her husband; one daughter, Mrs. Sylvester (Bertha) Gaedtke, Rt. 3, Luxemburg; one granddaughter, Mrs. Randy (Jill) Bosman, Rt. 3, Luxemburg; two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by one infant son, four sisters and three brothers.
Friends may call at McMahon Funeral Home, Luxemburg, after 7 tonight and after 2 p.m. Friday. Rosary at 8 this evening by the St. Elizabeth Society Wake service 8 p.m. Friday. Funeral 10 a.m. Saturday, at St. Amand Church, Walhain, with the Rev. Sebastian Schalk officiating. Entombment in the Shrine of the Good Shepherd Mausoleum."

- Category: Fest General Info
Welcome to Chicago Gaelic Park Irish Fest
This is our 33rd Year hosting Chicago Gaelic Park's Irish Festival which has been an anxiously awaited event on Memorial Day Weekend for over the last twenty five years. The reasons people look so forward to this event are as varied as the participants it attracts. For some folks Gaelic Park's festival is the harbinger of the spring and summer festival and outdoor activity season. Just as Memorial Day Weekend is the first major holiday of the summer, Irish festival is the first major festival. After being cooped up all winter, the idea of enjoying great entertainment, delicious food and satisfying refreshment, in an outdoor setting is extremely attractive. The numerous exhibits, including a petting zoo, Irish horse exhibition and sports contests are a refreshing change from the winter hibernation. For other people, Gaelic Park Irish Festival is a great value for family entertainment.
Come out and Enjoy the FUN!!!!

In a move that could shake up the growing field of Internet radio, Apple plans to develop a service that would compete with Pandora Media by sending streams of music customized to users' tastes, three people briefed on the plans said late Thursday.
Apple, which has already dominated the field of digital music with its iTunes store, is in the early stages of negotiating with the major record labels for the service, and the full scope of its plans were not clear, according to these people, who asked not to be identified because the negotiations are private.
Apple's service would probably take the form of a preinstalled app on devices like iPhones and iPads and might be able to connect to users' iTunes accounts to judge their tastes.
By offering streams customized to each user, Apple's program would compete with Internet radio services like Pandora, Slacker and iHeartRadio, which is offered by the radio giant Clear Channel Communications.
But while most such services operate under limited licenses that restrict what they can do with the music — for example, limiting the number of times songs by particular artist can be played within an hour — Apple is seeking direct licenses with record labels that would give the company more flexibility in using music, according to the people briefed on its plans.
Like Pandora, Apple's radio service would have advertising, carried through Apple's iAd platform. Whether Apple would then share part of the ad revenue with labels, or pay them some other licensing fee, was unclear. It was also unclear whether the service would be free or require a subscription. Pandora with ads is free, although its users can pay $36 a year for a service that eliminates the ads.
An Apple spokesman, as well as representatives of Sony Music, EMI and the Warner Music Group all declined to comment. A spokesman for the Universal Music Group could not be reached.
Apple's plans were first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday evening.
Apple's service did not seem to be imminent; indeed, given the length of time it can take to negotiate licenses with the major labels, it could be months away. On Wednesday, Apple is expected to introduce its newest smartphone, the iPhone 5, but the people briefed on the company's plans said it was unlikely that the custom radio feature would be part of that presentation.
Further complicating the process of licensing negotiations is the fact that much of the highest-level business of the music industry has ground to a near-halt this summer as the labels await decisions by government regulators in Europe and the United States about the Universal Music Group's $1.9 billion takeover of EMI Music.
The move by Apple perplexed some analysts, who noted that the Internet radio business seemed too small — accounting for less than $1 billion a year in revenue, by some estimates — for Apple to bother with. Established players like Pandora also already distribute their services through apps on Apple's devices.
"What's in this for Apple?" asked Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. "Pandora already does a great job, so does iHeartRadio, so does Last.fm. Why do we need another one?"
But Apple's clout in music, which began building when the company introduced the iPod in 2001, could face threats as more consumers choose to stream music over the Internet, rather than purchasing it. Steven P. Jobs, Apple's late chief executive, many times dismissed calls for Apple to offer music subscription services, saying that most consumers did not want to rent songs.
In recent years, though, with the proliferation of smartphones, iPads and wireless Internet access that perpetually connects those devices to online sources of music, Apple's iTunes approach to selling songs for $1 or so apiece has come to seem antiquated in comparison with music streaming services like Spotify and others.

County jail inmates, and the need for a civilian review board for the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. Patrisse Cullors, who leads the Coalition to End Sheriff Violence in L.A. Jails, and two survivors of inmate abuse, will discuss the problem of jail violence in L.A. and the work of the Coalition and UCLA Law students to address it.WHO: Patrisse Cullors, Coalition to End Sheriff Violence in L.A. JailsTwo survivors of jail violenceUCLA Law Students, International Human Rights Clinic at UCLA School of LawWHEN: Wednesday April 23, 2014 from 12:15-1:30 p.m.WHERE: UCLA School of Law, Room 1447CONTACTS: Tendayi Achiume, UCLA School of Law, (310) 267-4715, email@example.com Patrisse Cullors, Coalition to End Sheriff Violence in L.A.

Serious problems of excessive force, lax oversight and a general culture of aggression have been extensively documented, including by the Citizens' Commission on Jail Violence (CCJV). As reform efforts gather pace, the Coalition to End Sheriff Violence in L.A. Jails, which has worked tirelessly to bring attention to the problem of jail violence, has urged the immediate creation of a Civilian Review Board (CRB) to oversee the LASD and allow community members with a personal stake in sheriff violence their seat at the table. Students in UCLA's International Human Rights Clinic have provided valuable research support to the Coalition as it develops a new vision for civilian oversight of the LASD.The UCLA Law International Human Rights Clinic is a yearlong clinic that introduces students to human rights law theory and practice in the service of real clients.

I want to thank Mr. Filipek, Mrs. Acuña, Mr. Devoe, all the cast members, and all the back stage helpers with "Annie Jr." If I would list them I know I would forget someone.
I loved it. I didn't know that Morenci had that much talent. Brooke Arno did a wonderful job playing Annie. All of the children did a wonderful job. You all hung in there despite a very long week.
My hat is off to our wonderful teaching staff. Thank you, thank you.

New at Wawa: Pepperoni Pizza Hoagie
Ever since I moved away from New Jersey, I've missed Wawa. A few weeks back, while driving through Pennsylvania, I stopped at a Wawa gas station and actually said to myself, "God, I miss Wawa." Hearing my prayers, the Lord answered by killing my battery.
After an hour on the phone with AAA, I knew I'd be there awhile. So I decided to make lemons into lemonade with a stroll through the Wawa. In the back of the convenience store, right above the touch-pad ordering system, a fluorescent halo beckoned me: "New, Pepperoni Pizza Hoagie."
It could have been my last meal, and I would've been happy. They toasted the Shorti bun perfectly: crispy crust on the outside, with that crack and crumble when you bite, leaving bits of crust and cornmeal in your lap. I sprang for extra Pepperoni, which at Wawa means "chock full", not "one extra slice," like at Subway. Their pepperoni was spicy, in a good way, and extremely salty. The melted cheese formed a tubular center to the hoagie, and mixed with the herbed marinara sauce. Be careful with the marinara, though, because too much sauce can render the bun a soggy mush.
I may have endured misfortune to discover it, but the Pepperoni Hoagie gets my thumbs-up; really, it's the best new fast food item I've had this year. If you're anywhere near a Wawa, give it a chance. (And count your blessings.)

Task Force on Undergraduate Advising (TFUA) made up of students, faculty and staff campus wide holds regular meetings researching best practices, alternate models and current data on UNF advising in order to submit a comprehensive report to Academic Affairs outlining enhancements for advising on our campus. TFUA has submitted its report and recommendations and AA is currently reviewing this report for feasibility and consistency withe the university and AA mission and goals. Undergraduate Studies Council initiatives: Continued UNF Reads program for incoming freshmen in 2009. o The council continues meeting on a regular basis to research retention efforts and brainstorm ideas for enhancing graduation and retention rates. Freshmen class of 2009 will participate in a common read of A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink. Under discussion is the possibility of incorporating a new calculation of GPA for students returning from suspension who have since attained an AA degree. Implemented a policy for "early graded feedback" for all general education coursework. Undergraduate Studies has been authorized to search for a new position of Retention Director, with an anticipated start date for this person in the winter of 2010. Academic Center for Excellence new initiatives: Recruited, hired and trained an academic advisor/mentor specifically for the students in the Jacksonville Commitment program (JCP). This advisor is housed in ACE and meets weekly with the JCP students.
Researched and designed a student success course (SLS 1995 Surviving the First Year) to be piloted fall 2009 with JCP students. Identified one academic advisor to work specifically with freshmen and sophomore student athletes, concentrating on those students identified as the most academically at-risk. Continued to dedicate advisors to work with the Pathways Scholarship and Academic Potential Program students on a regular basis with enhancements to the retention efforts for both of these programs. Curriculum Advising Program Planning (CAPP) enhancements: The CAPP team continues to meet on a regular basis to streamline degree evaluations, the timing of updating data and how this data feeds into the UNF catalog in order to provide students accurate information in a timely manner. Online Catalog: The CAPP team conducted a series of troubleshooting meetings with ITS to create the online presentation of the programs of study. Banner Upgrade: During fall 2009, the CAPP enhancements will be included in Banner 8.2. The CAPP team will be instrumental in determining if the software is functioning appropriately. Banner Releases: Software releases applied during spring 2009 affected CAPP and the team diligently tested the system and constructed work around activities to circumvent the software defects. During the 2009-10 academic year, the CAPP team will participate in the review of the online catalog and recommend a series of navigational adjustments. Banner Upgrade: During fall 2009, the CAPP enhancements will be included in Banner 8.2. The CAPP team will be instrumental in determining if the software is functioning appropriately. The CAPP team will be providing SunGard via the CAPP Users Groupd with input on the prioritization of RPEs and defects for upcoming releases.
In 2008-09, UNF did not begin any new graduate degree programs. However, in line with student demand, our fiscal stewardship obligations and, in one case, recommendations originating through our Program Review process, we deactivated two programs, the Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling program and the Master of Science in Applied Sociology program. While we have suspended admissions in both cases, we of course continue to meet our obligations to students completing those degree programs.
We continue to monitor enrollment trends among all graduate degree programs and tracks within those programs.
The Graduate School hosted a series of conversations between the leadership of the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology program and the (now) Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling program, as well as the two deans of the respective colleges, conversations that focused on developing a plan to address the overlap in both curricular offerings and in the career trajectories of students graduating from them. These conversations led to a proposal that was shared with a Program Review external consultant who was brought to campus to review the MACP program and advise us on the relationship between the MACP and MHC programs.
Program Review: History (UG, GR), Counseling Psychology (GR), International Studies (UG), and Criminal Justice (UG, GR) participated in the program review process this year. Each program had an on campus visit with an external reviewer.
Debriefing sessions for each program will be held during June and July. During these sessions the recommendations from the self-study document and the external reviewer are discussed.
The strategic plans, ALC's and GLO's of the appropriate departments and programs will reflect steps to be taken in light of the program review process.
Academic Affairs redirected one faculty position from the College of Education and Human Services to the College of Arts and Sciences as a result of curricular and enrollment issues. Brooks College of Health transferred two faculty lines from E&G to Foundation in response to the budget reductions. E&G and Auxiliary resources that had previously been directed to the Fine Arts Center have been reduced in consideration of the budget reductions.

In the wake of Friday's release of Ted Wells' report on the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that "big cultural changes" are coming for the league.
Citing a league source, Rapoport said on Friday's edition of NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" that the league will take a "very hard look at the locker room culture ... and try to come up with some new workplace rules, some non-gray area for players to know what is OK and what is not OK."
Wells, an independent investigator hired by the NFL, found that three starters on the Dolphins' offensive line -- Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey -- engaged in a "pattern of harassment" directed at teammate Jonathan Martin, as well as another young offensive lineman and an assistant trainer.
The entire 144-page report can be read here.

Storm raises beach erosion fears
Winter has been tough on seawalls
An offshore storm moving into the area is raising concerns about beach erosion.
The storm may bring snow and rain to southern New Hampshire, but officials along the coast are most concerned about high tide on Thursday.
Winter storms have already taken their toll on New Hampshire's beaches. Parts of seawalls eroded earlier in the season.
"It's going to keep the high tide in longer, and then when the tide wants to go out, the wind keeps it blowing in, and as it starts knocking down the seawalls, it starts taking the top ends of it off relatively quickly," said Rye Police Chief Kevin Walsh.
"The waves get so bad, they are throwing big rocks, boulders over the wall. It gets bad," said Adam Maj, of Hampton.
Boulders and hunks of shale are scattered along Route 1A in Rye and in North Hampton, remnants of the last powerful storm, which washed away parts of the seawall and shut down the road.
"The concerns are the high tides on Thursday morning at about 6:42 and Friday morning," Walsh said. "They're going to be about 9-foot tides, and the seawalls have some temporary fixes and they're still weak, so we're concerned that might do some more damage to them."
State crews have been pushing the shale walls back into place. They would be expensive to replace, a capital project that the Department of Transportation said is not on the drawing board.
A section of the seawall at North Beach State Park in Hampton is being rebuilt after it was undermined by years of wind and sea.
"Right now, we're worried about gusts going to 40, 50 mph, so there could be beach erosion down on Seabrook Beach and then down by the harbor," said Seabrook police Officer John Mounsey. "We're going to sit out the storm and see what happens."
The frequency of the storms this year has been particularly tough on town budgets.
"As far as my overtime account for my employees goes, that's pretty well shot," said Keith Noyes, Hampton public works director. "It's probably about 100 percent spent."
Residents along the beach said it's all part of living on the water, but they admit it has been a very busy winter when it comes to weather.
"It's been hitting us pretty good, every storm we have gotten, especially when the wind is out of the northeast, and I guess, we are going to get slammed again," said Brian Charbonneau, of Hampton.
The storm is expected to move out of the region Friday morning.

When the original Battlestar Galactica series captivated my attention in the late 1970s, my friends were all kinds of hot for Athena and Cassiopeia, while my Dad lost interest in the show after Serena (the lovely Jane Seymour) was killed off. But for me, infatuation was found in the fleeting glimpses of Flight Corporal Rigel's announcements; I absolutely adored her then, and can honestly say I still have a crush on her. She comes across as someone who not only inspires the likes of Princess Leia on hairstyles, but someone who would actually have something to talk about on a date. Also: no competition from that player, Starbuck.
The actress who played her, Sarah Rush, was interviewed last year on Galactica.TV.
Can you talk about your audition for Battlestar Galactica?
Since I was under contract, they called in all the girls, all the contract players. I came in and was very serious about my craft. I still am. It's not brain surgery, but I feel passionate about it. Though I now have more fun in doing it than I did back then. When I was younger I was so very serious and committed. So I came in, I auditioned and there was Glen Larson and all these people and I had to say something like: "Red alert! Red Alert! 100 microns and closing, 99 microns and closing…"; something like that.
I sat in the middle on a chair with everybody around me and I used my fist as a microphone, said my lines and then looked at everybody. They all burst into laughter! I was so serious about it. We laughed and I got the job. It was wonderful and a blessing, even though my role was so small. I wished I could have been around more. You can imagine. I was just 22 years old and this show was so fantastic. I got to work with Terry Carter a lot and talked to him about acting. I don't even know if he knows how important he was for me. He was so supportive. It was such a great cast and to me it was a blessing to be on the show.
Frakking adorable.

With the rapid increase in mobile devices over the past few years and our demand for instant internet access, it is no wonder that many organisations are realising the benefits of mobility to their end of year profits.
This is because the internet, as well as mobile devices have forever changed the way we access information in our daily lives. We now demand instant access to data via websites and expect to download PDFs and other files on our mobile device, whenever we want and wherever we are in the world.
Regardless of your business, there will be times when sales people are on the road, consultants are in meetings, senior staff are out in the warehouse or executives are at a business luncheon. The one factor that all of these people have in common is that they all wish that they had brought that one document file with them.
The file that they had been up all night working on and have left on their desktop or the document with last month's profits and losses or the datasheet with next years forecasted growth. Most of us have been in a similar situation where we have needed a vital piece of information or data on the fly and have either been unable to access it or have sent someone scurrying back to the office to locate the necessary file.
How often have you needed to send an order or invoice to the printer, so that a process can be fast tracked or needed to print a document whilst at a meeting, but you are away from your desk?
This is where mobility can be of so much benefit, by not only increasing productivity, but making your employees workload much easier and saving so much wasted time.
Imagine being able to access company files on your smartphone or tablet while you are in your car, at a business meeting, at lunch with prospective clients or even half way around the world. Without a doubt, being able to access pertinent information in the field is of enormous benefit to any organisation.
The icing on the cake however is the ability to send documents and data sheets or invoices and orders directly to a printer and to have that job ready and waiting when you return to the office.
As you can see, incorporating mobility into your business office processes, frees up employee's time as they don't need to return to their desktop PC to order printing jobs. It also streamlines and fast tracks orders and deliveries.
Another great benefit is that remote workers in decentralised offices can send jobs directly to the company's printer or an employee can phone an administrative assistant to send a document to the printer closest to their current position, even if it is on the other side of the building.
RBC Group can implement the deployment of a customised mobility strategy for your organisation, purchasing and setting up printing equipment, as well as mobile devices for employees. We can even implement a strategy that allows employees to use their own personal mobile devices to access company printers.
So if you want more information on bringing mobility to your organisation, call us on 1300 857 164, email us at email@example.com or complete our online enquiry form.

Governor Jerry Brown has asked the legislature to enact a balanced budget within the first sixty days of the new year.
He gave the deadline so that legislators and the public will have a realistic look at what the state will provide with its meager revenues.
No area will be hurt as much as K-12 public education and community colleges, which receive about 40 percent of the state's financial commitment courtesy of a ballot proposition passed by the voters about 20 years ago. But given the size of the budget, the next allocation will be more paltry than ever.
For some perspective, consider this: During the current fiscal year, the state is spending $36.5 billion for these education categories, down from $56.6 billion three years ago. And this year's allocation will be considerably less.
What are we getting for that commitment? Not much, as might be expected. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, California ranks 49th of the 50 states in the ratio of students per teacher, 49th in students per counselor, and 50th in students per librarian.
As for those who believe that education funds are spent disproportionately on bureaucrats, the same source ranks California 47th in students per administrator.
Worse yet, these data are for the the 2007-2008 academic year (the last available). Most of the drop in spending has occurred since that time, which only means that California is falling even further behind the other states.
No spending reduction is pleasant but in the case of public education, these dollars are perhaps the most important allocation made by the state. Schools prepare students for their livelihoods as adults. They provide badly needed skill sets that students get nowhere else. Without a solid education, many drop out, others graduate with little ability to do anything but the most menial work, and others still find themselves uncompetitive with high school graduates from other states seeking university admission.
The governor wants us to weigh these facts as we learn about the upcoming budget. From there the question will be, do we accept these incredible reductions or do we bite the bullet and agree to new taxes?
The answer will be intriguing for it will tell us much about our commitment to the next generation.

Dutch Boyd necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 30 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
I am tired of the boring parked page that I've been using for the last few years. I need something better.
This domain name is one of many domains I have parked. You can see by going to the current website that it isn't very stimulating... and the outgoing links are all connected with some affiliate link for an online poker site. I need a landing page that will actually get people engaged.
- Currently, the landing page is setup to convert the traffic into 10 real money poker sites... I still want to have the real money poker site links be the main focus of the landing page, but I'd like to have it more graphical and information based (and I should easily be able to link to reviews, bonus codes, freeroll tournament schedules, comparisons, rankings, etc.)
- I want to have at least one featured book, video, and a "must have" miscellaneous item somewhere on the landing page. Amazon has a carousel affiliate widget that I think is pretty sharp... something along those lines. I'd like to be able to link easily to reviews and descriptions of what I'm pushing.
- I want to have a links section.
- I want it to be an seo friendly design.
- I want to have an email / lead catcher... something along the lines of a newsletter, or a contest.
- I want to have a twitter link to follow "pokertilt"
An unoriginal template that doesn't make me want to click on anything.

Originally published: 09.25.12 by HVACR Business Staff
WaterFurnace International, Inc., recently announced its Perfect Choice Savings Event which will run from Sept. 4 to Nov. 30, 2012. Homeowners will have a choice between instant rebates up to $2,500 or special zero percent financing on any of three geothermal packages.
"WaterFurnace geothermal heat pumps deliver dramatic savings on heating and cooling costs with a comfort you have to experience to believe," said Tim Litton, WaterFurnace director of marketing communications. "We want to give every family an opportunity to upgrade to geothermal and our Perfect Choice Savings Event was designed for that purpose. This special offer becomes even more attractive when you factor in the 30 percent federal tax credit for equipment and installation costs, as well as the growing number of local incentives."
Three promotional packages are tailored to fit homeowner needs and feature the WaterFurnace 5 Series 500A11:
Ultimate Comfort Package: Perfect for homeowners looking to dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs while generating 100 percent of their hot water. This offer combines the 500A11 with the Envision NSW hydronic unit and a GeoTank storage system. Customers who purchase this system can choose between a $2,500 instant rebate or zero percent financing for 12 months.
Essential Comfort
Geothermal Upgrade Package: Designed for the homeowner who is already experiencing the benefits of a geothermal heating and cooling system, this package offers a 500A11 system to upgrade an existing geothermal unit of any brand. Customers can choose between a $1,000 instant rebate or zero percent financing for 12 months.
The 5 Series 500A11 geothermal heat pump is similar to a traditional heat pump, but instead of using heat found in outside air, it taps into the constant thermal energy stored just below the earth's surface. A series of underground pipes (an earth loop) circulates an environmentally friendly mixture of alcohol and water to transport that energy.
The earth loop brings heat into the home from below ground during the winter and removes heat from the home during the summer, carrying it back into the ground. Using this free energy source can save homeowners as much as 70 percent on their heating and cooling bills, the company says. The system can also generate heat for hot water, all without using any on-site fossil fuels or emitting carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or other greenhouse gases.

The FDA is with Monsanto and agribusiness. They don't want you to know what's in the food you eat.
On Tuesday, the FDA reached a deadline for the "Just Label It" petition calling for GMO to be included on food content labels.
The FDA said it had not made a decision and needs more time to think it over.
It also said the petition with over a million signatures – far larger than any other the agency has ever received – counts as only one signature.
"The agency says that if 35,000 people, for instance, sign their name to the same form letter it only counts as one person or 'comment.' And if tens of thousands sign a petition, they are only counted as one 'comment,' too," reports the Chicago Tribune.
Every major poll on genetically engineered food labeling is overwhelmingly supported by Americans despite efforts by Monsanto and the GMO industry to convince them otherwise.

I WAS sick, sick unto death, with that long agony, and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me. The sentence, the dread sentence of death, was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum.

Most anticipated games for 2012 aren't new IP, says Nielsen research
Nielsen's latest research has found that the most anticipated sequels in the US for 2012 are mostly comprised of sequels and entries continuing current franchises on the market.
Sequels headlines
Raymond: Existing IPs allow for innovation testing, Splinter Cell info "in coming months"
Jade Raymond, producer of the original Assassin's Creed and managing director of Ubisoft Toronto, has said existing IPs provide good platforms for testing new gameplay innovations, while new franchises is "a really tough task".
Microsoft: More Fable, Halo, Gears, Forza on the way, surprises due at E3
Bet you didn't see this coming – Microsoft is to make more Fable, more Halo, more Forza and more Gears of War.
Gaming sequels can be a big risk, says analyst
IBIS Capital director Tim Merel has said that firms concentrating on AAA franchises may being doing so for the financial bottom line, but lack of innovation with sequels can actually damage the business.
Vast majority of biggest hitter this year are sequels
Nine out of the ten biggest-selling games of the past 12 months are sequels, according to this Seeking Alpha piece. Not exactly a shock, and it's a trend unlikely to go changing any time soon, with the likes of Gears of War 2 and Call of Duty: World at War busting the block this Holiday. […]
EA: Mercenaries 3 a no-brainer, Mercs 10 a good possibility
During yesterday's EA earnings conference call – following the release of Q2 financials – CEO John Riccitiello revealed that, thus far, Mercenaries 2 has moved 1.9 million copies — meaning that the highly explosive, Mohawk-sporting take on the GTA formula probably won't be coming to a halt any time soon.

Framed artwork has already sold before the show even opened! Thank you whoever you are :)
I'm not gonna lie... as much as I loved Street Fighter II, I was absolutely blown away the next year when Mortal Kombat was unleashed on arcades across America. I was 12 years old in 1992 when I met my new friends Scorpion, Sub Zero, and the rest of the fighters engaged in Mortal Kombat in Earthrealm. I can't pinpoint exactly what it was that drew me to the game, was the easy to learn moves? The mysterious Reptile character? The amazingly realistic graphics (for 1992) or was it the announcers voice? " FIGHT!" "FINISH HIM!" "FATALITY".
As soon as I saw the game at my local comic book store , I was hooked. Scorpion became my go-to fighter. I anxiously awaited Mortal Monday so that I could save my quarters and play the game at home on my Sega Genesis. When Gallery 1988 asked me to create some artwork for "The Old School Video Game Art Show: Level 2" I went with an instant classic.
"Out of the arcades and into our hearts, it's the new hit album "Fatality" from The Mortals! Join Sub Zero, Scorpion, Liu Kang, and the rest of the gang as they punch out hit songs such as "Get Over Here!", "Toasty!" and "Finish Him". You're spine will tingle with glee, your heart will pound out of your chest, your soul will be theirs. So get ready to Test Your Might with The Mortals!"
In addition to prints of the artwork, I always create a one of a kind framed album. For this show I was able to get my hands on a pretty rare, and pretty special record:
Vinyl test pressing of The Mortal Kombat theme "Techno-Syndrome 12" Mix"
Yes... This record contains the amazing Mortal Kombat song from the opening of the 1995 film. Anytime I play this song, once is never enough... it usually goes on a loop for at least 6 playthroughs.
"The Mortals" signed and numbered prints will be available only through Gallery 1988.
"The Mortals" framed album will be available exclusively at Gallery 1988
"The mortals" front and back prints will be available exclusively at my etsy store HERE
***This post will be updated when artwork becomes available***
If you're a fan of video games, or were a fan of old school video games, this is a show for you. A lot of very talented and passionate artists have created some amazing artwork that you would be proud to hang on your wall. Come on down to The Old School Video Game Art Show: Level 2 at Gallery 1988 in Santa Monica! You don't even have to bring your quarters because it's free!

Wanaka Peach Tree
My friend Lorenzo and I headed out early to get a shot of the morning sky by this amazing tree in Roys Bay in Lake Wanaka. For a while, it looked like the clouds on the Eastern horizon were going to prevent us from seeing any color, and then suddenly the sky fired up with these beautiful fiery pink and orange colors. Then, about 10 minutes after all the best color of the morning, this trio of photographers showed up. One of them was clearly the alpha of the group and seemed a bit of a know-it-all… but he hadn't even figure out that he'd missed the most beautiful sky by showing up just a few minutes late. It's so painful to get up early sometimes, but often so worth it.
The Spindly Tree on the Grassy Hilltop
While shooting an ocean and hillside landscape from the side of the road, I looked back up a hill and saw this tree perched atop the hill by itself. I hopped over the fence (fences seem to be more about controlling animals than people in New Zealand, people are very cool about things) and climbed up to shoot this tree. There were some cows near the top staring at me while I was taking this photo, and I felt like I was getting the stink eye, as if I'd discovered their secret place.
The Bonsai Rock
These hearty bonsai trees have somehow established a foothold in the cracks of this large boulder near the shore of Lake Tahoe. There were a couple other photographers down around me, but the area had this very zen-like feeling that the photo portrays. Everything was calm, and the cloudless sky just had a beautiful warm glow at sunset as I looked over the frigid lake.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes
A lot of my favorite images are the result of careful planning, but sometimes you just need luck on your side. After an incredible 24 hours shooting around White Pocket, I was ok with the fact that I probably wasn't going to be able to shoot sunset by the time my friends dropped me off back in Kanab. Sunset was in one hour, I still needed to book a hotel for the night, and there's no cell signal more than a couple miles away from Kenab. I didn't know the surrounding area, but my friends suggested heading 45 minutes West to Coral Pink Sand Dunes. I used my phone to book a room in Zion and started driving with 45 minutes until sunset. I didn't know exactly where I needed to park, hike, or what compositions I might find; but I embraced the odds for some spontaneous luck. The sky looked great, and my worst case scenario was that I'd be scouting for a future trip. Despite my eagerness, I drove carefully, knowing the approaching nightfall was likely to bring out animals. And it was a good thing I did. Deer jumped in front in front of my car no less than 7 times in the last few miles of the drive! I've never seen so many deer in my life, and it was an amazing site to see while driving down the rustic and decaying asphalt road. I pulled into the parking lot literally one minute before sunset. There wasn't a single other person anywhere in the park. There were plenty of footprints and ATV tracks showing activity from the day, but the sunset was mine alone. I grabbed my 25 pound camera backpack and raced across the dunes to find a shooting location. As I was huffing and puffing (but not too sweaty thanks to freezing temperatures and a stiff breeze), I looked for some place that might be promising when I turned around to face the sunset. The ATV tracks were hideous. I figured I'd be cloning out a bunch of junk, even if I was lucky enough to find a good composition before the sky color faded. I set up my 80-400mm lens on top of the tallest dune and took a photo. The sky looked great, but the foreground not so much. I looked to the left and saw a promising dune below me, so I started running down the dune, camera and tripod in hand. I found exactly what I was looking for, and captured one set of bracketed exposures to capture all the beautiful color. If I could only be so lucky all the time.

Passage to the Sea
I always feel a sense of serenity when I gaze at dreamy sunset ocean scenes like this. The cool blue water polishes dark stone as it washes back to sea, while the sun turns into an orange fireball and bathes rocky seastacks with the last warmth before the cool night sky sets in. But the reality is that the ocean is cruel beast. Tempting you with beauty, all while wreaking havoc on your camera. I dropped my tripod to only a foot high to let my Nikon 14-24 capture the gorgeous foreground. Every incoming wave splashed salt water toward the front of the lens, constantly threatening to make me wipe the lens clean again. I held up the lens cap while the water rushed in to keep things dry, and then quickly shot as the water retreated to the ocean. It was its own beautiful moment, but far from calm at the time!

Ibanez humbled by Hutch Award for community service
Veteran returns to Seattle to receive honor for many charitable endeavors
SEATTLE -- Raul Ibanez always comes back to Seattle.
The slugger began his longtime affiliation with the city when he was selected by the Mariners in the 36th round of the 1992 First-Year Player Draft. He continued it by making his big league debut with Seattle in 1996 and becoming a lineup mainstay through 2000. He departed for Kansas City but signed back with Seattle for another stint from 2004-08. And he played one more season at Safeco Field last year after stops with the Phillies and Yankees.
Ibanez, still going strong at 41 and with 300 career home runs, is moving on to the Angels this year, but he'll never really leave the Emerald City. He returned once again Thursday afternoon to receive the 49th Hutch Award for outstanding community service at the annual luncheon at the Mariners' ballpark.
The Hutch Award, a national honor presented by the Seattle-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, has been given every year since 1965 in honor of Major League player and manager Fred Hutchinson, who died of cancer a year earlier at the age of 45, and its list of honorees reads like a Hall of Fame roster.
Winners have included Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Carl Yastrzemski, Pete Rose, Joe Torre, Willie McCovey, Willie Stargell, Lou Brock, George Brett and Johnny Bench.
Now they include Ibanez, who has been a chairperson for the annual Mariners Care Cystic Fibrosis Golf Tournament; has supported the Page Ahead Children's Literacy Program, which works to make books available to at-risk children throughout the state of Washington; and serves as a spokesman for Refuse to Abuse, the Mariners' partnership with the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence. He has also been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs, Seattle Children's Hospital, Treehouse, Covenant House Pennsylvania and Project H.O.M.E.
Ibanez is a husband to his wife, Tery, and a father to five children: sons Raul Jr. and Luca and daughters Sophia, Victoria and Carolina.
All that work for the greater good has given Ibanez purpose far beyond baseball, he said, which makes the Hutch honor that much more special.
"It's the greatest award that I could receive, and I'm humbled, because to me, it's not what you do but how you do it," Ibanez said. "We're all role models and we've been given this pedestal by the good Lord to be able to give back, and to carry yourself a certain way is extremely important."
It was fitting for Ibanez to be feted in Seattle, where he spent so many years. Not only was he a rookie and youngster trying to learn the ins and outs of big league life as a Mariner. He came back later to impart those lessons on the many greenhorn players on the current roster.
On Thursday, after receiving the Hutch Award, a glass sculpture by renowned Seattle artist Dale Chihuly, Ibanez remarked that he learned a lot about performance on the field, off the field, and at home from veteran teammates and friends such as former Hutch Award winners Jamie Moyer and John Olerud, who was in attendance, plus Jay Buhner, Ken Griffey Jr. and others.
"Those guys taught me at a very early age, just by their example, that you can strive to be a great player and also have a higher purpose and strive to be a great human being and give back to your community," Ibanez said.
"And also that it was OK to be a tremendous player, play hard on the field, spit all over yourself, dive, get dirty, and then go home and be the best father and husband that you can be."
Ibanez said he was moved by the presence of the Hutch Award Luncheon's guest speaker, Hall of Famer Rod Carew, and was honored to get the chance to hang out with Carew as the two toured the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and met with its staff and some of its patients.
"Dreams do come true," Ibanez said. "You get to meet your heroes in person, and you find out that they're extremely generous and kind-hearted, compassionate people and live for others and make a difference in other peoples' lives along the way."
As is often the case at an event that is equal parts somber, reflective and uplifting, Ibanez reached an emotional peak when he mentioned his family, pausing his speech while getting a bit choked up, having to alter his gaze from their table and admitting he was in fear of losing it completely.
"I can't look at you," he said. "I'll take you out for ice cream later or something."

Vermillion, SD - 2017 SD BRIN Undergraduate Research Fellow, Blaine Nelson, was awarded the University of South Dakota Undergraduate Research Excellence Award. Forty eight students were selected out of eighty nine applications to the 2017 SD BRIN Undergraduate Research Fellows Program. Blaine was selected from the University of South Dakota for the bioinformatics training research program.
Blaine is originally from Sioux Falls, SD, where he graduated from Washington High School in 2015. He is now a junior at the University of South Dakota where he is majoring in Medical Biology and German and minoring in Chemistry. In the future, Blaine plans to attend medical school to become a surgeon, specializing in cardiothoracic surgery.
Blaine completed his first summer of conducting research with Dr. Erliang Zeng at the University of South Dakota. His research project was entitled, "Functional Genomics of Medulloblastoma among Mus musculus Models: An integrative Analysis of the Transcriptome and Targetome". Blaine first became interested in research when he saw his brother participate in undergraduate research. Also, during high school biology, he found himself intrigued by the genetics section and he knew that he wanted to do research about something related to that field. Bioinformatics introduced him to the opportunity for a combination of what he wanted to research. He could obtain biological data pertaining to a severe neurodevelopmental condition and analyze/interpret this biological data to understand what genes may be affected to cause the cancer.
Of his SD BRIN undergraduate research experience, Blaine said, "The most rewarding part of my research was working with Sanford Research and Dr. Erliang Zeng to obtain the data consisting of the gene expression within different mice models in the entire mouse genome. We compared mice models where the brain tumor was induced in the primary stage, induced in the metastatic stage, and the control group where the mice had not developed the tumor. Using the expression data, I was able to run it through biological programs in order to find differentially expressed genes in the transcriptome. My project also involved adding the differentially expressed genes from the targetome. So overall, it was rewarding to be able to contribute to the progress of finding a linkage between genetics and medulloblastoma: like what genes may be playing the most significant roles in cancer." The most challenging part of Blaine's research was the coding. Of this challenge, he said, "I had to use code in order to run the data so that it could be analyzed later in the project. However, code is really picky so there would be a moment where I thought I had everything correct in the code, but there was one tiny detail that was off so it would result in an error message".
On being awarded the University of South Dakota Undergraduate Research Excellence Award, Blaine would like to thank all of the people who have supported him at the University of South Dakota and express his gratitude for the summer research experience.

Penn State will pay $59.7 million to 26 young men over claims of sexual abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, the university announced Monday.
Of the 26 settlements, 23 are fully signed and three have been agreed upon in principle. The settlements include a release of all claims against Penn State and other parties.
The money for the settlement payouts is not coming from student tuition, taxpayers or donations, according to the university.
"The Board of Trustees has had as one of its primary objectives to reach settlements in a way that is fair and respects the privacy of the individuals involved," Keith Masser, chair of the Penn State Board of Trustees, said in a statement. "This is another important milestone in accomplishing that goal. I would like to thank the board's Legal and Compliance Committee, as well as its Legal Subcommittee for its leadership throughout this process."
"We hope this is another step forward in the healing process for those hurt by Mr. Sandusky, and another step forward for Penn State," university president Rodney Erickson said. "We cannot undo what has been done, but we can and must do everything possible to learn from this and ensure it never happens again at Penn State."
"… We have made great strides, but a great deal of work remains," Erickson said. "Our University is a better institution today as a result of the work and dedication of our trustees, administrators, faculty, staff and students."

The first footage is out from Tom Hanks' animated web series, Electric City — set in a post-apocalyptic dystopia, where only the rich can afford communication. Hanks produced, does voice acting, and helped write the script for this 90-minute project, that's been in the works for years. Hanks told EW that at one point he was going to make it with puppets.
But now the first ever footage is up — and clearly not made with puppets. Each seven-minute episode will be hosted on Yahoo, starting July 17. Here's the official synopsis:
On the surface, the Electric City is utopia and under the surface, Electric City is secrets and heavy-handed state control. What we found really compelling is that this is perfect for a highly digital audience, a lean-forward audience who likes to utilize the medium of the Internet.
Here is a quick video with more footage from the ARG that was has been going on about Electric City for a while now.

Prepare to boldly go where no man has gone before. And perhaps maybe shouldn't have.
"Star Trek" icon George Takei gamely answers the question, "What would 'Star Trek' icon George Takei sound like reading 'Fifty Shades of Grey'?" in a new video in which he, well, reads passages from EL James' modern masterpiece of erotic literature. While punctuating each bawdy phrase with a scandalized, "Oh, my!"

You probably didn't wake up this morning thinking that you'd hear Sulu intone, "Grabbing my upper thighs, he forces my legs apart. I groan loudly, feeling his tongue circling my clitoris." But hey — these are strange, wonderful and occasionally horrifying times we're living in.
Let "Fifty Shades of Takei" wash over you like an overwhelming climax by watching the video.

What makes a good jam or preserve? Before you even open the jar, look at the color. If it's strawberry, does it retain any red color? Because jams and preserves are cooked, their color won't be as red as that of a fresh strawberry, but they should still be red, although not aggressively so. If you're looking at a preserve, do you see any chunks of fruit in the jar?
Most jams or preserves won't have a strongly fruity aroma in the jar, even when first opened. However, jams/preserves should smell pleasant, with some fruit aroma, and never have a burned or "off" smell.
Do you like your jam thin, or thick and chunky like the preserves above? Photo by Tyler Olson | BSP.
How's the consistency? Some people like a thinner spread, while others insist on something thicker. Some of the jams or preserves in this review were definitely on the thin side; conversely, others were very stiff. This can make a genuine difference to consumers. A jam or preserve that is very thin may drip off a slice of toast, while one that is stiff may tear bread or refuse to spread to any significant degree. How about chunks of fruit? Large chunks of fruit in a preserve, delightful to some, will leave others gnashing their teeth over the difficulty of spreading it readily. Think about the texture of those fruit chunks, as well. Are the chunks hard? Are they mushy? Fruit chunks in a preserve should retain some texture, but they shouldn't be at all difficult to chew.
There are a number of aspects to the flavor of a jam or preserve. First off, it should taste like the fruit (or fruits) from which it is made. Sweetness should not be the predominant taste! It can be helpful to look at the product label; if sugar or another sweetener is the first ingredient listed, your strawberry jam may not have much strawberry flavor. If there is more than one fruit, you should get the flavor of both (or all). How's that balance? If there is lemon juice or zest in the preserve, does it overwhelm the taste of the fruit?
Finally, think about the aftertaste, if there is one. Is the lasting impression that of fruit? Sugar? Lemon? Jams and preserves should have a clean aftertaste; it shouldn't be syrupy-sweet. And the aftertaste shouldn't be unpleasant. In a top product, it should be berries all the way.
