Not badDont really care for him or his music, but he comes across very well here, and seems to take the whole "piracy" thing in stride. Notice the interviewer REALLY wanted him to be "angry" about it. Gotta love media bias in favor of the big poppa media company owner.

Re: Not badThus the great divide in the world... Someone is singing about their pain and struggle and you dont give them a second thought... when they look you want them to look you listen to them. I hope white America remains this ignorant forever...

Re: Re: Not bad"when they look you want them to look you listen to them"
First, I am assuming you were trying to say "when they look the way you want them to you listen to them." Second, there is now white America, or black President for that matter, there is only America and our President. Race doesn't need to be injected here. Third, everyone judges someone else by the way they are dressed and/or project themselves, whether it be conscious or subconscious. However, I would agree with you that there is a portion of America that is ignorant, but that reflects on the individuals not the race in general.

Hmmm. Interesting GuyI never gave this guy a second's thought. As a pop entertainer, most aren't worth even that much time. But his ideas are quite impressive. Despite the fact that his diction reveals a dis-privileged upbringing, what he says reveals a true thinker.
Makes me want to check out the book.
I need to listen to his lyrics, though. Too many rappers that I've found to be very smart STILL fill their rap songs with low-life mantas, misogynist claptrap, braggadocio and vulgarity. When I see such a rapper in a good interview, I am saddened that they pander to the lowest-denominator in their music, even as they are clearly capable of higher discourse.
Re: Hmmm. Interesting GuyThere are plenty of rappers who have thoughtful lyrics that don't glorify violence, misogyny or the "thug" lifestyle. Unfortunately, they're usually not the ones in the top 40.

Re: Re: Hmmm. Interesting GuyWe're all aware that there are rappers with thoughtful lyrics; we just never thought of 50 Cent as one of 'em. This interview is a shock.
Derek Kerton (profile), 14 Sep 2009 @ 9:17pm
Re: Re: Hmmm. Interesting GuyTrue. A paradox is that if one is "good at business" one's music will gravitate to whatever sells best, which is claptrap that makes one look like an idiot.

Re: Hmmm. Interesting GuyThere's always KRS-One for the quintessential "conscious rapper". Mos Def tries to raise awareness over creating a thug persona. And Eminem goes back and forth between moments of inspiration, and slips with Slim Shady.

Re: Hmmm. Interesting GuyI agree on all accounts, but as far as I understand, it's just a business model that sells. Just as big corporate slim bags resort to all sort of shady business deals to get "rich quick", and banksters trade money like in a monopoly game -- many of these rapper guys just use this platform as a vehicle to make a name for themselves and get rich.
The few conscious rappers out there with some substance, well, they still drive and carry their own stuff, can't support a family of what they do, and are more in line with the starving artist.
Right or wrong, there it is.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Hmmm. Interesting GuyNo. Their definitely not old enough to filter crap from reality. They can barely understand that Dora isn't real. The get angry when a map doesn't leap out of their backpack and tell them three steps to get to the birthday party.
On the serious side: at what age do most kids get the ability to filter entertaining garbage from reality? I'd say it's way after they get exposed to the crap.

Re: Hmmm. Interesting GuyDog.... Ur A Bitch. Its Music Man. Quit Looking For The Meaning in Every Little Thing. Using Large Ass Words For Hip Hop. lol have u listened to the music. Hip hop is music D-evolved in sound to the point where its strips music to its more basic forms of rhythm. ANYONE CAN MAKE IT!!! the older pioneers of hip hop werent musicians. They were men that knew how to make people move. They did interesting things yea... but still man Rap has never been about Projecting a GRAND image. Its rough Raw.. and Fun. Now take the criticism and look at rap a different way.

Re: Hmmm. Interesting Guy"I never gave this guy a second's thought. As a pop entertainer, most aren't worth even that much time."
I hadn't given him serious thought previously---but maybe that's the point: perhaps more than we imagine are actually "worth the time", but are reflexively not assumed to be.
Much of entertainment is a ruse---and business too. I think we really pay entertainers to lie to us---maybe 50 Cent has done it so well we believed him.
As I've witnessed, there are public figures with impeccable public images and sanctioned professed values in media, but with surprising and disappointing personal deficits--sometimes exactly counter to their public brand---it can startle you. Here with 50 Cent, the opposite (in some real sense) seems true---he appears to harbor more sophistication, multidimensionality and complexity than we assumed. He's not the first in this industry or genre though---Master P clearly comes to mind (all nearly half billion of him---$361 million of which came by age 29).

anon, 14 Sep 2009 @ 3:52pmI download music, and would NEVER EVER EVER EVER even dream of going to a concert. Who the hell would go to a damn concert? All the fucking "people" (if you can call that sort of sub-human trash 'people'), excessive noise level, ridiculously expensive food and drinks, etc, etc... I download it to enjoy in the quite comfort of my home. I'm sorry, but I will not pay $20 for a CD just to get one song. Not gonna happen. The musicians need to eliminate the record labels, and set up shop in their house. With today's technology, it is no longer necessary to have record labels. Spend a few grand on a soundproof room, and record direct to mp3 format. Sell it for under a buck per song, and you will make billions.
Re:I download music, and it directly led me to going to a Tom Waits concert earlier this year, and a Leonard Cohen concert later this year. Thanks for your input though. It's always good to have divergent viewpoints voiced.

But who will administer your publishing, who will administer or litigate your mechanical rights for sync, who will engineer your recordings, who will be in charge of marketing (and with what connections), who will be in charge or PR (and with what connections)? these are just a few of the many many parts of being a recording artist that actually makes money that a label actually provides (if you maneuver correctly). Please reevaluate your "billions" earning forecast.
rocker, 19 Sep 2009 @ 4:54pm
what the hell..dude you have issues 50 cent is so right i would download the music to try it out and if i like it i would buy it. I would also attend the concert to support the band and enjoy the live show! YOu have issues man obviously you don't get out much and don't know what a concert is! You are the people who the music industry hate!
Chris Antonelli, 4 Jul 2010 @ 7:46am
Re: Who Would go to a concert?Well in reply to your comments, I like you do download too, I have been to download festival since 2006 and i numerous gigs/concerts why? Because nothing can beat the atmosphere of a live performance granted I listen to a diffent style of music in the form of Metal and mostly Melodic Death Metal bands like Devildriver but still i'm sure the same theory applies to all music fans unlike Rap, Metal is still a very underground genre with most bands on home true breed record labels who make 90% of their money from gigs and selling to straight to the fans home grown for the fans to the fans...
Well, as a geek, rap and hip hop lover (I do like 50 cent... His first CD is pretty good, don't like the new stuff) this is awesome. If only more entertainers thought like this instead of labeling pirates as criminals and thieves. Although it would be a little hypocritical if most of these rappers did get pissed about people "stealing" "their" music.
fogbugzd, 14 Sep 2009 @ 4:24pm
Leading questionThe thing I found entertaining was the way the anchor person asked the question about piracy. See obviously thought she knew he would dislike piracy and started asking the question framed in that manner. I have to give her credit for a quick switch in the tenor of the question when she got feedback from his expression.

...If only more artists felt this way. Everyone knows the real money is in touring, not the album/single sales. I find it's important for building up the fan base of up-and-coming artists as well, as no one wants to shell out $30 (AUD) on a band they know nothing about. Piracy allows people to try out all kinds of different music and prevents the resentment of buying a disappointing CD. And generally when someone likes what they hear, they'll buy the album anyway. I don't think record labels should be abolished nor do I think piracy should be harshly reprimanded. Neither will disappear so people should just quit their bitching.

But got to give it to the guy he's really interesting and smart. Think I might actually read his book after this and I don't normally read books (lol). At least he acknowledges that piracy can't be stopped that easy and doesn't rant about losing a bit of cash when he still makes a fortune anyways.

The Stones shunning businessIt's funny that the CNBC commentator described the Rolling Stones as rebels who shunned business. That may have been the image they projected, but their music production/touring operation is the epitome of being "in business" and has been for many years. Certainly it has been that way far longer than people have been downloading music.

Something I am trying to work on for myself this year is to continually celebrate small wins when it comes to dance, dance organization, and dance photography. Sometimes when I think of the monumental goals ahead of me in my day to day life such as, "build a blues scene", or "start making a profit on my dancing", or "be awesommeeeeee already", it's hard not to get overwhelmed. So I stopped worrying and stressin' and decided to focus on what I can get done this week. When it's done, I celebrate (high fives, drinks, pork bone soup, etc). It's amazing how much more you can accomplish when you have other things done from your list. Momentum fuels motivation which in turn keeps up inspiration. And as well all know, inspiration a wonderful thing.
What did you celebrate this week?

Vasil Kiryienka
Vasili Vasilyevich Kiryienka (Belarusian: Васіль Васілевіч Кірыенка; Łacinka: Vasil Vasilevič Kiryjenka) (born 28 June 1981) is a Belarusian racing cyclist, racing for UCI ProTeam Team Sky.[2]
Early yearsEdit
Born in Rečyca in the Belorussian S.S.R. in 1981, Kiryienka won his first national time trial championship in 2002. His early career focused mainly on the track, where he won the Points Race at the 2008 UCI Track Cycling World Championships. Later that season Kiryienka won Stage 19 of the 2008 Giro d'Italia, a mountainous affair leading to Presolana, after spending the day on the attack and registering more than 6 hours and a half in the saddle. He attacked his six breakaway companions at the foot of the Monte Para climb and soloed to the finish for the win, by a margin of over four minutes.[3]
Caisse d'Epargne (2009-2012)Edit
Kiryienka moved to the Spanish Caisse d'Epargne squad for the 2009 season.
In 2010 he finished second in the tenth stage of the 2010 Tour de France after he was outsprinted at the line in Gap by Sérgio Paulinho (Radioshack) after the pair's decisive attack with 14 km remaining.[4]
On 23 May 2011, during the 2011 Giro d'Italia, Kiryienka's Movistar Team team mate Xabier Tondo was killed in a freak accident at home while preparing to train with teammates. He was reportedly crushed between his car and a garage door.[5] Five days later, Kiryienka rode to victory in a solo effort on Stage 20, a mountain top finish at Sestriere, and he dedicated the stage victory to Tondó, pointing skyward as he crossed the finish line.[6] The team had met to consider withdrawing from the race after Tondó's death, but instead the riders unanimously voted to ride on.[7] Kiryienka commented that the squad at the Giro hoped to get a further stage win (as Francisco Ventoso's win had come before Tondó's death) to honor him, while other members of the team grieved with Tondó's family.[8]
In September 2012, Kiryienka finished third in the individual time trial at the road world championships.[9]
Team Sky (2013-)Edit
Kiryienka left Movistar Team at the end of the 2012 season, and joined Team Sky on a three-year contract from the 2013 season onwards.[2]
In May 2015, Kiryienka won the individual time trial of the Giro d'Italia, which was 59.5-km long and relatively rolling.[10] In June 2015, he won the individual time trial at the inaugural European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan.[11] On 23 September 2015, Kiryienka won the individual time trial at the road world championships in Richmond, Virginia, United States.[12]
Kiryienka had the honor to carry the flag of his native Belarus at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where he competed in the men's individual time trial event. He finished in 17th place.

text: Dozens Die of Thirst After Desert Stranding 5 bodies discovered following vehicle's breakdown near Sahara By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Oct 29, 2013 8:57 AM CDT 21 comments Comments Five bodies have been discovered following a vehicle's breakdown. (Shutterstock) View 2 more images (Newser) – Statements don't get much bleaker than this: "About 40 Niger people, including numerous children and women, who were attempting to emigrate to Algeria, died of thirst in mid-October." That's what the mayor of Agadez, Niger, tells the AFP, which reports that one of two vehicles carrying roughly 60 migrants broke down in a desert just south of the Sahara some time around Oct. 15. The other vehicle reportedly continued traveling—without passengers—in a search for spare parts. The travelers split up to look for water; days later, five made it to the town of Arlit and warned troops, but the help arrived too late for most. Police say 19 survivors were brought to Arlit. Five bodies have been found, and 35 people remain missing, though "travelers told us that they saw and counted up to 35 bodies, mostly those of women and children, by the road," says Arlit's mayor. Among the missing are "entire families, including very many children and women," says a rep for an NGO. But officials have now ended the search, reports the BBC, which suggests the travelers were attempting to emigrate to Europe, not Algeria. (Read more Sahara stories.)

There's never a dull moment where Jean's involved.
So we're guessing her recent return to Albert Square can mean only one thing - drama.
And it doesn't take the bubbly mum long to make jaws drop after she goes to visit daughter Stacey in prison this week.
But what seems like an innocent reunion with her beloved offspring, soon turns to disbelief when Jean reveals she's hatched a plan to get Stacey out of jail.
What the details are, we can only guess. A file in a sandwich, a rope over the wall or a simple appeal process?
Either way, it's sure to blow the storyline apart.

CES 2013 Coverage
ASUS had some interesting things to show off this year, with a heavy weight on the ROG (Republic of Gamers) series for high end enthusiast gamers and overclockers. The biggest find was the eventual release of the RAIDR EXPRESS PCIe storage card that we will hopefully at least see press releases by the beginning of Q2. There is no word on what we all want to know at this point as far as capacity, speed, controller design, etc. However, it has been promised to be better than "competitors". ASUS did mention that it was spending a lot of time making sure that the RAIDR would work in all boards and be painless in terms of configuration.
Next on the table was the VG248QE 3D monitor directed at gamers who really prefer the refresh rates of the 3D monitors with a more affordable look (though no dollar signs were put on the table). With a refresh rate of 144Hz and some pretty decent viewing angles, this 1920 x 1080 monitor might be something worth looking at for your next monitor. It even has an overlay menu designated to gamers for consistent crosshairs and built-in timers. ASUS is clearly aiming at the gaming market with products such as this.
The ARES II (ARES2-6GD5) is something that ASUS has kept under the radar – at least until now. It is the next 7970X2 on the market with an improved cooling design. Not only is the card two slots (rather than three), it's also watercooled with a mountable 120mm radiator. It does have CrossFire fingers, so if you have the methods to mount a second radiator, it can be done. Below you can see the minimal size fan and even with its "small" size, it was not too loud at all. Below the ARES II you can take another quick look at the RAIDR, but unfortunately ASUS is still hiding its details with a nice cardboard cutout to hide the circuit board. Either which way, the two together look pretty nice mounted for display (and actually running to show off the many monitors).
There were quite a few monitors showing off either 3D features or touch screen features for the new Windows 8 OS. The PA249Q was a middle ground monitor bringing back the 1920 x 1200 resolution for those of you have missed it with the replacement 1080. It gives you a bit more space for work and play.
The E2KM1l-Deluxe is another upgrade on the ASUS ITX board that even runs remarkably well on passive cooing alone. The active cooling can be cranked up for those of you who want to get the last bit of performance out of the little beast while gaming or streaming video to your DLNA-enabled devices. Full USB 3.0 support allows for fast external storage access and the newer Trinity graphics should allow for light gaming.
A little test bench was set up showing off the upgraded 990FX Sabertooth – the GEN3 R2.0 military grade board. It supports AMD's AM3+ for Zambezi and is technically the world's first AMD GEN3 PCI Express motherboard. It follows a lot of the appeal of the ever popular ASUS Sabertooth boards and will look quite nice in any new build.
The most entertaining item of show was the ASUS ROG TYTAN CG8890. Unfortunately due to ASUS's connections with companies in the US and respects for such connections, this beast is only going to be available to you Canadians. It has a one-click overclock button on a six-core Intel i7-3960X without even rebooting. You can press the button again and again back and forth between overclock and non-overclock – but to top it all off, the case actually has actuated panels that open up to allow for improved air movement. Closed, it's a simple glowing blue ASUS logo; press the button and the flaps open up showing off the inner orange and the massive number of cooling fans. It's pretty neat, but unless it comes to the States, it's Canadians only. (Sad Face)
The last bit to show off was the ASUS networking table. There was an arrangement of six items (only five were actually available to play with) including repeaters, USB Wi-Fi connections and just interesting network connections. They were fun to look at, but nothing really jumped out – other than the strange plug jack that acts as a night light and can play media via Wi-Fi, though I'm not sure I'd be too excited to have one.

New Zealand is viewing its telco market through "rose tinted glasses" and needs to get real about data caps, peering issues and the dominance of Sky TV, says a visiting Canadian academic.
Carleton University professor Dwayne Winseck told the Commerce Commission's conference on the demand side of the fast fibre networks yesterday that there is a high concentration of market power, with four ISPs (Telecom, TelstraClear, Vodafone and Orcon) dominating 80 percent of the market. This has led to data caps, which inhibit broadband use, he says.
Winseck warns that "the entrenched position of incumbents threatens viability of Ultra Fast Broadband, not just as an economic project but one that speaks to the public and personal life in the 'digital age'."
Winseck says New Zealand needs to take off the "rose tinted glasses".
"The independent ISPs have not thrived," he says. "There were 140 a decade ago, now there are 60, with four firms dominating the market."
Winseck gave his presentation on the same day that celebrity Stephen Fry tweeted to almost four million followers that he was disgusted with New Zealand's broadband. Fry had exceeded the data cap on his host's Telecom plan and so the telco had throttled his service.
"Comcast style throttling"
"I think Comcast style throttling is... for the economy it's disastrous," tweeted Fry yesterday.
Fry may have been referring to a decision made by the FCC and Department of Justice in the US following the consolidation of the Comcast NBC-Universal last year. Winseck says FCC was concerned that the merger would unduly favour competing video programmers, so it put in place rules which ensure Comcast must offer TV and film content to other video distributors such as Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV.
In addition Comcast must "not treat affiliated network traffic differently from unaffiliated network traffic".
Move as a flock
Winseck says when there is a small group of dominant players, they "tend to move as a flock" on key issues such as "peering and throttling, bandwidth caps, (and) agreements with Sky to be entertainment resellers versus competitors with one another, against Sky."
Winseck points out that Australia, Canada, Iceland and New Zealand are the only markets in the OECD to have data caps. "If bandwidth caps were such a good thing all the top performing countries would use them," he says.
Instead of trying to cater to excess demand, telcos in countries where there are data caps are trying to "beat it down". He says that data caps are anti-competitive, discriminatory and are justified by flawed economics.
Contrary to a paper released by the Commission prior to the conference, Winseck says he has spoken to people in New Zealand who claim peering is a real issue. He told the story of one affected ISP.
"Around five or six years ago, Telstra de-peered in Australia, setting up a new arrangement with the three other large telcos and ignoring all the smaller ISPs and telcos. Telstra de-peered in New Zealand and convinced NZ Telecom to also de-peer. So what had been a … level playing field for all turned into a major disaster."
Winseck said the ISP explained that major content providers such as TradeMe were forced to buy web services offshore and "allow their Telecom and Telstra customers traffic to trombone out of NZ before coming 'back home' again."
Eventually Telecom re-peered, "with a slightly odd arrangement that is mostly workable, and still Telstra … remain de-peered. They… continue to drive the entire industry to distraction."
Unregulated agreements between SkyTV and ISPs
Winseck noted that there are a number of unregulated agreements between Sky TV and all the major ISPs – except Orcon. "It's another example that big telecom-ISPs move as a flock," he says.
Although these agreements are commercially sensitive he suggests that it is possible they include preferential clauses such as that data caps be lifted for all Sky's services (that is zero-rated data), and that packaging and presentation of Sky content is likely to remain under Sky control.
Telco Commissioner responds
Winseck told Computerworld after his presentation that there doesn't need to be a convergence of regulation between telecommunications and broadcasting, before the telecommunications commissioner can act. "I know his remit's tight, but he has that capacity to say that, if you are going to use the network you are not allowed to discriminate between third-party traffic. He doesn't have to say broadcasting, it's third-party traffic of any kind. If you are going to use the meter you apply it equally to all."
Telecommunication commissioner Ross Patterson told a panel discussion following Winseck's presentation that he wasn't "disheartened by the level of concentration" in the ISP market.
Later Computerworld asked him why.
"I don't think it's the problem that he (Winseck) paints it to be because the size of the New Zealand market with four million consumers, to access five ISPs because he missed out CallPlus/Slingshot," Patterson says.
"The real issue is how effective are those players in competing. But there are issues where they are 'flying in flocks'".
Does the telecommunications commissioner have the power to demand to see those contracts between Sky and the ISPs, Computerworld asked.
"It would have to be a matter that related to something within the Telecommunications Act, that's just a general proposition. But I've got no comment on anything relating to that particular issue."
Is zero-rated data is a bad thing? Computerworld asked.
"I think that goes to the net neutrality debate, one of the issues always was that if you have data caps and you have some content zero-rated that it might be a good thing, or it might be a bad thing. It may have implications," Patterson says.
"We've put out a discussion paper and we've made some observations, and we're waiting for submissions and obviously we'll also be informed by this conference."

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
Christmas, Hanukkah and even Valentine's Day are all holidays that can revolve around foods that are dangerous to teeth. It's almost impossible to avoid all of the treats that are a part of the traditional holiday meal, and what would a festive dinner be without a nice piece of cake or pie at the end of it? Georgia news source the Savannah Morning News recently spoke to dentist Angela Canfield who offered some tips for keeping teeth healthy during this season.
First, the dental health expert pointed out that it's not the amount of sugar a person eats that is the problem, it's the amount of time that sugar stays on their teeth that causes issues.
"When bacteria comes in contact with sugar or starch in the mouth, it produces acid that attacks the teeth for 20 minutes or more. Continued attacks can cause the enamel on the teeth to break down, eventually leading to tooth decay," said Canfield, quoted by the news source.
This suggests that the sooner a person can brush their teeth after eating sweets, the better. Canfield added people can avoid a lot of teeth-damaging substances by not drinking soft drinks, which can contain about 10-12 teaspoons of sugar per serving.
Michigan's ABC News affiliate spoke to a local dentist who reminded people that caramels, taffy and other sticky snacks may not only lead to cavities, but could also loosen crowns or fillings.

•IADT General, Interior Design
• 0 Comments
Most people have ideas about how they want their homes furnished. Some people's taste in decor fits into certain typical interior design styles such as traditional, modern or coastal, but not all do. Established interior designers are often known for their trademark styles, and clients who share their taste will seek them out. But students of interior design and those who are just starting out need to be able to work with clients across a wide variety of tastes.
How does an interior designer know what a client's taste is in decor? Nowadays, digital Pinterest-type boards are taking the place of file folders of tear sheets, in which a person would find photos in printed magazines that inspired his or her design style. A designer can look at a client's digital board or tear sheets folder (both of which are also called idea books) to get a good sense of those design elements — the colors, textures, shapes, materials and space planning styles that a client likes best.
Let us examine some of the basic style categories.
In traditional decor, furnishings are usually in 18th century English, 19th century neoclassic, French country and British Colonial revival antique styles. The traditional look features classic styling and symmetry, with muted fabrics that are usually solids, simple florals, stripes or plaids.
The modern look began in the 1950s and 60s (mid-century modern), and includes Scandinavian influences. Modern style features minimalist design free from clutter, with large windows or glass walls to let the daylight in and reveal views. Walls and kitchen cabinetry are often white, with simple shapes. The modern style can include playful, colorful accessories.
Inspired by the ocean, coastal style features white and shades of blue, along with airy fabrics on the windows for a light and breezy feeling. It includes nautical or beach-themed accessories, like seashells and boating images. And, as Lisa Frederick writes on Houzz.com, coastal furniture gives the feeling that you can put your sandy feet up on the furniture without harming it.
Romantic style is all about the more feminine design elements, such as florals, soft colors and textures, ruffles, candles, crystal and antique mirrors. This look also includes whitewashed wood, delicate details, lace, soft lighting, and soft fabrics such as silk, chenille, matelasse and velvet.
In addition to these styles, there are many other design categories. And when a person's taste encompasses elements from various categories, it falls into the style known as eclectic. An interior designer can learn a lot about a client's interior design styles by looking through that person's idea book and learning what elements the client feels will make a home feel like his or her own, whatever that style might be.

Bravo Peggy Cappy!
Diana Adoberavoski | Los Lunas, New Mexico | 01/31/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I loved this DVD More Yoga for the Rest of Us by Peggy Cappy. Her teaching style is so warm and generous and positive and
inclusive. She attracts those of us who need yoga the most, not just young
athletes that you find in most classes. She welcomes us older and stiffer
ones...it is a beautiful philosophy and I want to thank Peggy Cappy for
sharing her love of yoga and what it can do for everybody! I have both
DVD's (Yoga for the Rest of Us and More Yoga for the Rest of Us) and I do one of them every day...they have changed my life...I have
them memorized and never tire of them. I'm 48 years old and have done yoga
classes on and off for years...always knowing that there was something good
there for me, but always feeling I couldn't keep up or be flexible
enough...I would drop out feeling a failure each time.
Peggy Cappy and her work have been a blessing in my life and I want to thank
her from the bottom of my heart! Namaste, Diana Adoberavoski
Not as good a follow-on
Loyal Customer | Marietta, GA | 04/11/2006
(2 out of 5 stars)
"Being a huge fan of "Yoga for the Rest of Us," I was looking forward to getting the second DVD, but this second DVD largely left me cold. The stretching exercises are not as effective, in my view, and do not appear to work the entire body but focus primarily on the legs and lower back and almost not at all on the neck, shoulders, and arms/wrists. The standing poses are in some instances more challenging, but their explanation and demonstration were not as clear, practiced, or well-thought-out as in the first DVD - some of the students appeared to be doing the poses for the first time without a clear idea of what they were supposed to be doing, and in one instance a standing pose was performed while the camera zoomed in on one student's face (not the most helpful way to convey how to do the pose correctly, especially when the verbal explanation is unclear). The relaxation portion, while good, was not as effective for me as in the first DVD. It may be a matter of personal taste or a slightly different target audience for the second DVD versus the first, but I likely will not rely heavily on this DVD for yoga exercises and will return to the first one, which I believe is a much better production."
She's done it again!
B. Morley | Waunakee, WI USA | 09/15/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Once more, Peggy Cappy has endeavored to bring the practice and benefits of yoga to those of us who live with some degree of physical limitation that puts the postures of classical yoga out of reach (literally.) As a companion to "Yoga For the Rest of Us", this dvd offers examples and instructions that expand the practitioners' repetoire of postures, never failing to address the therapeutic mind/body/spirit benefits. Peggy Cappy has a marvellously gentle, yet powerful, way of engaging the viewer/practitioner and then clearly demonstrating each pose. She never fails to include adequate time for resting and meditation poses, a perfect balance to the more active poses. If you have purchased "Yoga For the Rest of Us," this is the perfect companion piece to round out your daily practice!"
Great Followup to Yoga for the Rest of Us
Martha McKinnon | Phoenix, AZ USA | 04/24/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Are you looking for gentle yoga DVD? Are you interested in beginning a yoga practice but hesitant about heading off to your local yoga studio? Are you under the misconception that yoga is only for the young, fit, and flexible?
More Yoga for the Rest of Us by Peggy Cappy is a DVD that can help. If you think you are too old, too out of shape, or not flexible enough to try yoga, the students in this DVD prove otherwise.
Cappy, a New Hampshire based yoga teacher with over 20 years experience offers gentle senior yoga classes where many of the participants are 70+. The DVD includes a "Meet Peggy Cappy" section that features shots of her classes and several interviews with her enthusiastic students who explain why they do yoga and all the benefits it provides.
Peggy explains that yoga can help everybody and anybody who does it feel better physically and mentally. It's an opinion I share so I am always on the lookout for DVDs that can deliver a yoga program that is accessible to the average person regardless of age or current fitness level.
More Yoga for the Rest of Us is a follow up to Cappy's original DVD, Yoga for the Rest of Us, and is divided into two 20 - 25 minute sections that can be performed separately or together - Floor Exercises and Standing Poses.
In More Yoga for the Rest of Us, Peggy Cappy leads 4 of her students of varying ages and abilities through the program in a calm, sincere, and nurturing way. The pacing is slow and controlled. Variations and modifications are demonstrated for most of the poses so that students of any level can participate safely.
The Floor Exercises section begins with breathing exercises to calm the body and steady the mind. It provides a good transition out of the busyness of your day, and into your yoga practice. Additional floor exercises include pelvic tilts, knee hugs, leg stretches and strengtheners, reclining pigeon pose to stretch the hips, reclining spinal twist for the back, reclining cobblers pose to stretch the inner thighs and several gentle bridge variations.
The Standing Poses section, is dedicated to standing poses that are designed to build leg strength and improve balance. The poses are all demonstrated with several modifications and variations to accommodate different levels of ability. Those who are less steady use a chair for support.
The DVD concludes with a few gentle compensation poses for your back and a nice long guided relaxation - the restorative reward for your earlier yoga practice.
I like that Cappy explains the benefits of the various poses and provides detailed alignment instructions to keep her students safe. I also like that these are real yoga students of varying ages and abilities, not models or yoga experts.
If you are looking for a gentle yoga DVD that can help you increase your flexibility, strength and balance, More Yoga for the Rest of Us is worth a closer look.
Highly Recommended"

I removed my 11.0 jailbreak as per the instructions here. I then proceed to download and install the latest tvOS version. The progress bar completes but the install fails. Do I need to reset to factory settings in order to do this? I was hoping to do just the update and avoid having to set the box up again as new.

WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Key Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:KTEC), a worldwide leader and full-solutions provider in the design and manufacture of process automation systems, announced today that it has introduced a new digital sorting platform, Veryx™. The Company will exhibit its innovative new sorting platform at Pack Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 28, 2015.
The Veryx digital sorting platform is a suite of belt-fed and chute-fed sorters that offers high-performance capabilities with a common user interface. With unprecedented all-sided product inspection, multi-sensor data fusion, and the highest resolution cameras and laser sensors available on a digital sorter, Veryx achieves new levels of detection and discrimination of foreign material and product defects. Advanced auto-learn, self-adjusting capabilities and recipe-driven operation offer extreme ease-of-use and an intuitive user experience.
The platform will include widths ranging from 700mm to 2100mm for belt-fed and 700mm to 1400mm for chute-fed configurations, and combines highly innovative new mechanical architecture with intelligent decision making to maintain optimal performance through the entire production cycle. Veryx minimizes the need for operator interaction with the machine and establishes new standards of performance to offer exceptional customer value. Veryx complements Key's existing family of digital sorting systems, allowing Key to choose the optimal sorting solution for our customers' specific needs to improve product quality and maximize customer yields.
Next-generation cameras and laser sensors offer twice the resolution capability of previous generation sorters to detect and remove the smallest defects and foreign material. Veryx can be configured with up to 4 channels of information from cameras and up to 8 channels of information from the laser scanner, combined with advanced LED lighting that operates at optimal frequencies in relation to each sensor. Sensor configurations are arranged to provide sustained, 100-percent surface inspection, eliminating blind spots and maximizing defect and foreign material removal.
Every Veryx sorter is configured around the product characteristics, application requirements and process objectives of each customer. In addition, Veryx's modular design enables food processors to easily upgrade their sorter in the field with the addition of more or different cameras, lasers or BioPrint™ hyperspectral sensor technology, as customer requirements evolve over time.
With multi-sensor fusion at the pixel level, Veryx integrates the input from multiple cameras and lasers in relation to each image pixel. This advanced feature maximizes the signal contrast for enhanced differentiation between good and bad objects to more accurately identify and remove subtle product defects and challenging foreign material types.
Veryx features Key's Information Analytics, a set of data acquisition and connectivity capabilities that allow users to gather a broad range of product and operational data from the sorter. The data can be made available for off-line analysis or connected to a customer's SCADA or Manufacturing Execution System.
Smart features such as auto-learning, self-adjustment algorithms, predictive system diagnostics, smart alarms, FMAlert™, and Sort-to-Grade™ will reduce Veryx operator requirements, making it much faster and easier for a new operator to become a proficient user of the equipment compared to other sorters.
To further ease-of-use, Veryx introduces an intuitive new user interface that can provide different views to users of various levels, depending on their needs. Recipe-driven operation ensures customers can count on consistent performance from their Veryx sorter day-in and day-out, including running the same product across multiple sorters in different lines or locations.
Veryx sorters leverage Key's specialized material handling solutions to optimally convey and control each object through the sorter process. This ensures ultimate accuracy in sorting out every piece of foreign material and defective product, avoiding the inadvertent removal of good product in the process.
The all-new Veryx platform is designed to minimize sanitation requirements and simplify maintenance to reduce downtime and the customer's total cost of ownership.
Veryx is ideal for sorting fresh, frozen and dried vegetables and fruits, processed potato products, nuts, and other products. At roll-out, these capabilities will be available to customers in specific applications within our core markets of potatoes, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and dried fruit, with shipments expected to begin in the spring of 2016. Key will be expanding the number of available applications on an ongoing basis over the next several months.
Jack Ehren, President and CEO, commented, "Executing on our long-term strategy to renew Key's technology leadership, we have completely redefined digital sorting with the development of Veryx and established a new standard of performance. Our passion for understanding the needs of our customers, and our vision to develop sorting solutions with functionality never before available in the industry, underscore our deep commitment to partnering with our customers in improving their overall returns."

Jornal de Pediatria is indexed in the following databases: Index Medicus/MEDLINE (http://www.pubmed.gov), SciELO (http://www.scielo.org), LILACS (http://www.bireme.br/abd/P/lilacs.htm), EMBASE/Excerpta Medica (http://www.embase.com), Sociedad Iberoamericana de Información Científica (SIIC) Data Bases (http://www.siicsalud.com), Medical Research Index (http://www.purplehealth.com/medical-research-index.htm) and University Microfilms International.
Jornal de Pediatria publishes articles in the field of clinical investigation. Exceptionally, basic research articles are also accepted. Papers can be submitted in either Portuguese or English http://ees.elsevier.com/jped. Articles are published in English and Portuguese. American spelling is used. Therefore, authors are advised to use the language with which they feel most comfortable and confident that they will communicate more clearly. If a certain paper has been originally written in Portuguese, the authors should not submit an English version, unless it is a professional quality translation. Important notice: The official language of publication of Jornal de Pediatria is English, and so is the language of its entire submission web site.
Guidelines for manuscript preparation
Peer review
All materials published by Jornal de Pediatria undergo peer review. Each manuscript is sent to the editors, who make sure that minimum standards and format requirements are met. The manuscript is then sent to two expert reviewers who are not members of the editorial staff. The reviewers are never from the same institution as the authors. Based on the comments of these two reviewers, the Editorial Board decides whether the manuscript should be published as is, rejected or returned to the authors for amendment. A manuscript may be returned to its authors several times for clarification and improvement and, at any time, it can be rejected. Each revised version is always analyzed by the Board, which makes the final decision.
Types of articles
Jornal de Pediatria accepts submissions of original articles, special articles, and letters to the editor.
Original articles include reports on controlled and randomized studies, screening and diagnostic studies, and other descriptive and intervention studies, as well as reports on basic research carried out with laboratory animals. Manuscripts in this category should not exceed 3,000 words, 30 references and four tables and figures.
Clinical trials should be registered in one of the Clinical Trial Registries recommended by the World Health Organization and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. In the absence of a Latin American registry, Jornal de Pediatria suggests the National Institutes of Health's registry, available at www.clinicaltrials.gov. The clinical trial identification number should appear at the end of the abstract.
Please access http://www.equator-network.org/ for further information on how to publish this type of article.
Special articles do not fall under any of the other categories. They are considered to have special relevance and will be reviewed following special criteria. Special articles are not limited in terms of length or number of references.
Letters to the editor usually express an opinion, discuss or criticize articles previously published in Jornal de Pediatria. Letters should not exceed 1,000 words and six references. Whenever possible, a response from the authors of the article to which the letter refers will be published along with the letter.
Editorials, comments and review articles are published under invitation. Authors of unsolicited editorials, comments, and review articles must submit an outline to the Editorial Board before submitting the manuscript.
Editorials and comments, which usually make reference to selected articles, are solicited from experts in the field. The Editorial Board may consider the publication of unsolicited comments.
Review articles are systematic, critical assessments of the literature concerning topics of clinical relevance, with emphasis on aspects such as cause and prevention of diseases, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Usually, professionals of recognized expertise are invited to write review articles. Meta-analyses are included in this category. Jornal de Pediatria will also consider unsolicited review articles. For that, authors must submit an outline to the Editorial Board before submitting the manuscript. Review articles should not exceed 6,000 words, not including references and tables. A minimum of 30 up-to-date references should be cited.
General guidelines
The file - including tables, figures, and references - should be in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals," published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org). Each section should start on a new page in the following order: title page, abstract, main text, acknowledgements, references, tables (print or insert each table, with title and footnotes, on a separate page), figures (print or insert each graph, with title and footnotes, on a separate page), and figure legends.
The main recommendations for each section are as follows:
Title page. The title page should contain all the following information:
The abstract should have no more than 250 words or 1,400 characters, and abbreviations should be avoided. Do not include words that could identify the institution or city where the study was performed, to facilitate blind review. All information in the abstract must accurately reflect the content of the article. The abstract should be structured as described below:
Abstract for original articles
Objective: State why the study was initiated and any initial hypotheses. Precisely define the main purpose of the study; only the most relevant secondary objectives should be listed.
Method: Describe the study design (if appropriate, state whether the study is randomized, blinded, prospective, etc.), setting (if appropriate, describe the level of care, i.e., primary, secondary or tertiary, private clinic or public institution, etc.), patients or participants (selection criteria, number of cases at the beginning and at the end of the study, etc.), interventions (include essential information, such as methods and duration of the study), and criteria used to measure the outcomes.
Results: Describe the most important findings, confidence intervals, and statistical significance of the findings.
Conclusions: Only describe conclusions that reflect the purpose of the study and that are supported by your findings. Discuss possible applications of the findings, with equal emphasis on positive and negative findings that have similar scientific merit.
Abstract for review articles
Objective: Explain why the review was performed, stating whether it focuses on a special factor, such as disease etiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment or prognosis.
Sources: Describe all sources of information, defining databases and years researched. Briefly state the criteria used to select articles for review and to assess the quality of information.
Summary of the findings: State the main quantitative or qualitative findings.
Conclusions: State your conclusions and their clinical application, keeping generalizations within the scope of the subject under review.
Below the abstract, include three to six keywords that will be useful for indexing purposes. Please use Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html. Whenever adequate descriptors are not available you may use new terms.
Abbreviations should be avoided and are not accepted in titles or in the abstract. If used, abbreviations should be defined the first time they appear in the text.
The main text in original articles should contain the following sections, indicated by a subtitle:
The sections in review articles may vary depending on the topic. We suggest that authors include a brief introduction, in which they explain (from the perspective of the medical literature) the importance of the review for the practice of pediatrics. It is not necessary to describe how data were selected and collected. The conclusions section should correlate the main ideas in the review to possible clinical applications, keeping generalizations within the scope of the subject under review.
Acknowledgements should be brief and objective; only individuals or institutions that contributed significantly to the study, but are not qualified for authorship, should be mentioned. Individuals cited in this section must agree in writing to the inclusion of their names, since readers may infer their endorsement of the conclusions of the study.
References should follow the Vancouver style, also known as the Uniform Requirements style, which is based largely on an American National Standards Institute style adapted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) for its databases. Authors should consult Citing Medicine, The NLM Style Guide for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=citmed) for information on the recommended formats for a variety of reference types. Authors may also consult sample references (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html), a list of examples extracted from or based on Citing Medicine for easy general use; these sample references are maintained by NLM.
References must be numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text, identified by superscript numbers. Do not use automatic numbering, footnotes or end notes for references.
Unpublished articles that have been accepted for publication may be included as references if the name of the journal is included followed by "in press."
Unpublished observations and personal communications should not be cited as references; if this information is essential for the understanding of the article, it may be cited within the text, followed by the observations in parentheses "unpublished observation" or "personal communication." Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the Index Medicus; for a comprehensive list of journal title abbreviations, see the List of Serials Indexed for Online Users, available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/lsiou.html. For more detailed information, refer to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, available at http://www.icmje.org/. Below we present some examples of the model adopted by Jornal de Pediatria:
Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper, numbered consecutively in the order in which it appears in the text. Tables should have a brief but comprehensive title. All explanatory notes should be presented as footnotes indicated by superscript lowercase letters assigned in alphabetical order.
Figures (photographs, drawings, graphs, etc.)
All figures should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they have been first cited in the text. All explanatory notes should be included in the figure legend. Reproduction of previously published figures should be indicated in the legend, and must be accompanied on submission by a permission letter from the copyright holder. Photographs should not allow identification of patients; please note that masking the eye region may not be sufficient to protect the patient's anonymity. If any photographs allow a patient to be identified, a written permission to use the photograph must be provided. Photomicrographs should present internal scales and arrows that contrast with the background.
Jornal de Pediatria publishes color illustrations online. However, all figures will be converted into black & white format for publication in print. If the authors consider that color is essential, they should contact the editors. Computer-generated images, such as graphs, should be attached as .jpg, .gif, or .tif files, with a resolution of at least 300 dpi, to enable good-quality reproduction. This resolution will be adjusted to 72 dpi for online publication. Do not submit three-dimensional graphs. If the resolution of scanned drawings, photographs, or illustrations is not adequate for printing, submit your manuscript via regular mail with two copies of the original illustrations (professionally drawn or printed with a resolution of 300 dpi or higher). In this case, affix a label to the back of the figure, indicating figure number, first author's name, and top of the figure (with an arrow).
Figure legends
Legends should be included on a separate page, identified by figure number.
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

The entire racing community will be watching…but will anyone else?
7 comments:
Why would they televise the prep races? They're short fields, almost completely lacking in quality outside Rachel and Zenyatta.
The important thing is to get quality coverage on April 9.

The above comment by ANONYMOUS shows true ignorance. Why would they televise it...BECAUSE TWO OF THE GREATEST THOROUGHBREDS IN HISTORY ARE PREPARING FOR THE MOST ANTICIPATED RACE SINCE POTENTIALLY WAR ADMIRAL VS. SEABISCUIT...THAT'S WHY YA BIG DUMMY!!!
- March 12, 2010 at 4:50 PM
Then we should be breaking into network programming and CNN with each of their workouts too? They are part of the preparation for the showdown as much as these preps. And a network is covering them: HRTV. And there's a potential greatest race since War Admiral and Seabiscuit every year. No sense getting all breathless over this. If the Apple Blossom happens, terrific. It will be televised.
- March 12, 2010 at 8:51 PM
The Rebel is going to be broadcast on ESPN I heard last week, but I since haven't been able to confirm that. If so that's great but I agree, Rachel and Zenyatta are bigger than anything else in this sport right now. It's not right, but at least the Apple Blossom (if they both enter and win their preps) will be televised big-time.
- March 12, 2010 at 8:54 PM

Anonymous, apparently I touched a nerve. "Breaking into CNN"?? You're obviously naive or obtuse this is a horse race not a breaking news event. And you're absolutely wrong in your assessment that there is a "greatest race since War Admiral and Seabiscuit every year". No there is NOT you obviously haven't been paying attention...or...maybe you are obtuse.
Who watches CNN anyway??

Railrunner, good point at least that will be televised.
- March 12, 2010 at 9:35 PM
- Glenn Craven said...
Why show preps? A number of Kentucky Derby preps are televised. Granted, those are usually graded-stakes races. But so is Zenyatta's run Saturday -- a Grade 1, in fact.
If you want people to watch on April 9, suspense should be building NOW, not beginning, say, April 8. Which is about as much attention as mainstream media will give that race unless you beat them over the head with how important it is beginning, say, NOW.

Unfortunately, a small boy snatches Noot's purse, and a large half-orc blocks the path to retrieve it. The half-orc is not easily brushed aside, and the adventurers find that there are others supporting the thieves on the rooftop.

Place Riel, on the University of Saskatchewan Campus, is the campus's front door and the home to the Students' Union (USSU). This project includes a complete interior renovation of the existing building and a new four-storey addition to the north, between the existing Marquis Hall and Murray Building. To retain natural light into the Murray Building while maintaining the required fire separation, a four-storey light well was included.
The exterior design of the building makes a bold architectural statement on the campus while still being sensitive to the Collegiate Gothic Style of the U of S.
The lower level consists of retail spaces, a large food court, and office space for the International Student and Study Abroad Centre, a support network for international students. The main floor houses the Students' Union Reception and a large public concourse. The floors above incorporate USSU offices and a new Student Health and Counselling Centre. SEPW provided project management, architectural services and interior design services.
The U of S students tasked the design team with making the project as environmentally sustainable as possible. The project is intended to achieve LEED Certification, but is targeting LEED Silver. Some of the green building initiatives used in the design include energy efficient mechanical systems, low or zero VOC emitting interior finishes, and rapidly renewable and/or high recycled content building materials.

For many American Jews, Christmas Day means Chinese food and movies. But how do American Muslims spend their time on Christmas?
Jesus is also revered as a prophet in Islam. "Muslims and Christians believe that Jesus is the only messiah," explains Hisham Mahmoud, an Arabic teacher at Harvard University. He points out that Jesus' mother, Mary, is considered by Muslims to be a saint. "In fact, there's an entire chapter in the Quran called 'Mary,' and the story of Jesus' birth is recounted in that chapter," he says.
