Opening Number – Bollywood: "Pandeyjee Seeti" from Dabangg 2 (Original Soundtrack); choreo by Nahul Dev Mahajan
Kate: Have they ever done a group Bollywood routine before?
Erica: No.
Kate: I don't know if this works. It's hard for me to tell if anyone is good at Bollywood when they are in a group setting.
Erica: See, I felt like it ought to have been better, because it was group, and it is my understanding that most Bollywood numbers in, like, actual Bollywood movies are in large groups but this didn't feel…full enough? I don't know.
Kate: Amy is CHEESING so hard. And, coming from a former cheerleader, she looks WAY to cheerleadery in this.
Erica: I got the sense that they were all directed to keep up cheerleader-esque smiles the whole time. And Amy is exceptionally good at that.
Cat's Outfit
Kate: She looks like a 35-year-old doll.
Erica: That's super-awful and weird.
Kate: I like the concept of the dress, but it's a little too much for me.
Erica: I don't even like the concept. I like the hair, though.
Kate: Again, that is how I want my hair to look every day.
Bottom 6
Kate: ANOTHER injury? This is getting ridiculous
Erica: Seriously. Are they working them harder this season or did they get a bunch of guys who aren't so good at taking care of their injuries or what? Oh, and is Mary wearing body glitter?
Kate: I think it's the latter.
Erica: I also want to be on the record as hating Kenny Ortega. I'm not sure why but I'm pretty sure I do.
Kate: Oh I like him – he is responsible for bringing Dirty Dancing into the world!
Erica: He's pissed me off on this show before. Can't put my finger on why.
Kate: Why do they constantly save Jenna? There is a REASON she is constantly in the bottom, "judges"!
Erica: THEY'RE SAVING JENNA OVER MALECE AND AMY?!!!!! WTF, JUDGES?! WTF?!
Tucker's Solo: "Maestro" from "The Holiday" (Original Soundtrack)
Kate: Wait, he's injured but can do a solo? How does that work?
Erica: I think the situation was, he was too injured during the week to rehearse, but the knee is better tonight.
Kate: He does look unsteady on that knee.
Erica: Really? I thought it was miraculous that he could do what he did on a bad knee at all. Then again, it was infected, not sprained or something.
Amy's Solo: "Je Suis Malade" by Lara Fabian
Kate: My viewing partner said she always looks unbalanced and ungraceful – I didn't think that before, but in this solo…Yeah, she kinda does.
Erica: Maybe she's not a good choreographer.
Kate: I still like her a lot, but she kind of thumped around unsteadily here. Not good for the decision later in the show.
Malece's Solo: "Patient Love" by Passenger
Kate: Um, red is SO her color!
Erica: I know this has nothing to do with anything but I really like the song.
Kate: She is very talented. I'm not sure why she is in the bottom?
Erica: Me neither. This solo was great. It was better than Amy's. But both of them should still be in the competition; Jenna should be out. What is wrong with you, America? And what is wrong with you, judges?
Alan's Solo: "Mas Que Nada" by Sergio Mendes Feat. The Black Eyed Peas
Kate: Ew.
Erica: I don't know what your problem is.
Kate: He is SHIMMYING. He's a guy, shimmying! Not ok! So CREEPY I can't stand it!
Erica: He's a ballroom dancer! They shimmy. Don't be so gender essentialist about it.
Kate: Also, he is kind of a lesser version of Mario Lopez.
Erica: Can Mario Lopez dance?
Kate: I mean in terms of appearance.
Hayley & Nico – Broadway: "Kiss of the Spider Woman" by Jeffrey Huard & Chita Rivera (Kiss of the Spider Woman – Cast Recording); choreo by Sean Cheesman
Erica: One thing I learned about Hayley is that she's much cuter without the thick eyeliner and over-plucked brows.
Kate: I have never heard of this song or this show, so it doesn't count as Broadway.
Erica: Oh, Kate. Kiss of the Spider Woman is kind of a big show. Vanessa Williams was in it last time it was revived.
Kate: So it started off a little weird for me, but it got better as it went on.
Erica: I thought it was quite good. I have been lukewarm about Hayley – and positively cold on Sean Cheesman – but I really liked this.
Kate: I think she is very talented, but I was hoping for more from the two of them as a pair. Lots of super cool lifts, though.
Erica: Super cool. That one where he just flipped her over his shoulder with his leg straight: Amaze. And their character work was great, too. I'd not seen that from Nico before, I don't think.
Kate: That's the lift to which I was referring.
Erica: I do think we need to maybe start some sort of group therapy for some of the SYTYCD choreographers. Get into their thing about women and their evil sexuality.
Kate: Here we go.
Erica: Also – how much do I hate it when Nigel is all, "That could almost be on the actual stage!"? Like, first of all, what are they standing on, a raft? That's a stage. They're entertaining millions. This is it. Second of all, these dancers are looking for professional dancing careers on actual stages. They're not second-graders. Or me. It's condescending, not complimentary, to be amazed that they're almost there.
Malece & Alan – Jazz: "Come Dance With Me" by Michael Buble; choreo by Mandy Moore
Kate: Yayyyy Mandy Moore is back!
Erica: Bring on the cheese!
Kate: So, ignoring Malece's Audrey Hepburn comment, I liked this surprisingly a lot. It was fun and they did well with it.
Erica: I must say, if I were dance instructor, I would have a film portion of the class where they have to watch, like, Gene Kelly, and Bob Fosse, and what not. But the routine was adorbs. Malece was a little dream boat. What is wrong with you, America?!
Kate: I even thought the judges were a little harsh on them. But I agree they did not connect well, probably because she too is extremely creeped out by Alan.
Erica: He doesn't seem…I don't know, I'm not creeped out by him like you are, but I feel like that's a consistent problem with him. His solos, I think, are always good, but his partner work is never quite as good. Which is weird in a ballroom dancer. But the judges were being WAY harsh which makes me think that they're setting up justification for bumping her and not their darling Amy. WHEN IT REALLY SHOULD BE JENNA, YOU FOOLS!!!!
Jenna & Not-Tucker – Paso Doble: "He's A Pirate (Ship ahoy Tribal Remix)" by Chris Joss & Klaus Badelt; choreo by Jean Marc Genereux
Kate: Ok, the little clip before the dance was WAY too much for me. I hate the Pirates movies, and I didn't need all that "omg Pirates!" crap from Jenna, whom I don't think should even be there, and Jean Marc, who creeps me out almost as much as Alan does.
Erica: I'm thinking that they actually do read this blog and listen, because last time I complained about how I hadn't see a Paso in a pretty skirt in a while, and look here! Skirt!
Kate: Oh look, a perfect opportunity for us to show the Alex and Twitch dance!
Erica: Weird to choose him for this dance. He's not a ballroom guy, and they have all-start ballroom guys around. Right?
Kate: Yes, it's interesting that Alex stepped in as the all-star to save the day but had never done Paso Doble, or even ballroom, before this.
Erica: Where's Pasha?!
Kate: I think this theme would have worked better as not a Paso Doble, but I liked it more than the usual Paso Dobles with all the male violence and swooshing capes.
Erica: See, I think it's the perfect theme for the Paso, but I didn't think this particular Paso was that good. What are they seeing in Jenna that I'm not seeing? You know what? Wondering why the judges love Jenna when I'm seeing mediocre (for this show) dancing is leading my brain to very bad places so I'm just not.
Makenzie & Paul – Contemporary: "The Edge of Glory (Live From 'A Very Gaga Thanksgiving')" by Lady Gaga; choreo by Mandy Moore
Kate: A very Gaga Thanksgiving? Really?
Erica: I really enjoyed Makenzie knowing how TV worked, prompting the editors to find footage of Paul. And then Paul pretending, for her sake, that she ever doesn't look beautiful.
Kate: I was hoping for a really great sappy Grey's Anatomy-type song when I heard the theme of the dance, but whatever.
Erica: Really? I was expecting "Leader of the Pack." I like this version of the song but I also like the original.
Kate: I truly love that moment in contemporary dances when the pair breaks apart and dances together but not as partners (example: Robert & Allison's "Fix You" dance). The kicks and leaps and turns always look so perfect and give me chills upon chills.
Erica: These two are just…sigh. I mean, I know I make fun of her a lot, but when shes dancing, she is just perfection. And he is really quite unbelievably wonderful, too. And also I love Mandy Moore.
Kate: Anyway, this was wonderful but not any more wonderful than anything they've done before. She is so gorgeous it's not even fair.
Erica: Nigel: "I can't wait for next week, Paul, when you get an all-star and there's a shot in hell I'll look at you. For right now I haven't even realized you're on stage because have you SEEN Makenzie?"
Amy & Fik-Shun – Viennese Waltz: "A Thousand Years, Pt. 2" by Christina Perri feat. Steve Kazee; choreo by Jean Marc Genereux
Kate: Um, they look lovely! And kind of in love? How do you like that for "different characters"!?
Erica: They've always played themselves. This was themselves, slow and sweet. It was fine, but not super-remarkable to me. And I hated her dress. But of course they'll tongue bathe them a little to justify saving Amy. I did like what Kenny Ortega said about Fik-Shun – he would figure out how to fly if it was required of him.
Kate: I did not see so many technical things wrong, judges. I think they moved beautifully together and had great frames and hit all their connections. The dance looked very effortless to me – I mean, shoot, he lifted her with one arm!
Erica: OH, MY GOD, CAT, LET'S NOT HOPE THEY END UP UNDEAD AND CREEPY LIKE BELLA AND EDWARD HOLY LORD. Also Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson never, for one second, actually dated.
Kate: Eh? I didn't catch the Twilight reference, I guess, but we all know how I feel about that.
Erica: Oh, wait, what did I say? I said I hated it when the judges mentioned having seen a dress rehearsal. And tonight Nigel just says he saw Fik-Shun's bad arms in the video instead of saying anything about rehearsals. THEY ARE TOTALLY READING US.
Jasmine & Aaron: Hip-Hop: "Gold Rush" by Clinton Sparks Feat. 2 Chainz, Macklemore & D.A.; choreo by NappyTabs
Kate: It's not FAIR that THESE TWO got NappyTabs.
Erica: NappyTabs crack me up. Stage coach robber and gold digger. Of course.
Kate: It would have been such a great routine with a different couple – Amy and Fik-Shun, to be specific. Jasmine and Aaron did OK, but they got really lazy in some parts and just didn't hit everything the way NappyTabs moves are supposed to be hit. I don't care that it's harder for you because you're tall and long, Aaron, you work at it.
Erica: They were just a tiny bit lazy, I agree. They seemed like they were dancing in the middle of the dance floor at a party, not doing a professionally choreographed dance on stage. But her hips did some crazy things. And I really liked the routine.
Top 6 (but really 5) Boys – Hip-Hop: "It's A Man's Man's World" by Joshua Ledett (American Idol contestant); choreo by NappyTabs
Kate: I would like to see the WHOLE group do a NappyTabs hip-hop routine, but I'll settle for just the guys, I guess.
Erica: I'm sure you'll see it at some point.
Kate: It was actually kind of weird seeing a group of guys dance to this, because I feel like they've used this song on this show for, like, girl power routines a lot.
Erica: I loathe this song. So much. Good and fun routine but God I hate this song. And it doesn't make any sense as a girl power routine, either.
Top 6 Girls – Contemporary: "Young and Beautiful (DH Orchestral Version)" by Lana Del Rey; choreo by Stacey Tookey
Kate: Wow.
Erica: Beautiful routine. Hideous outfits.
Kate: Cheerleader stunts! I see cheerleader stunts!
Erica: Did you not think it was hilarious that there was the theme of aging starlets being performed by the very young contestants on a reality show? Did you not think it simply bent the whole concept of irony on its ear?
Kate: Cheerleader stunts!
Kate: I'm shocked!
Erica: I'm not.
Kate: I really thought they'd send Amy home; I was under the impression that they looooved Malece. She is so So You Think You Can Dance!
Erica: They've always had it in for her. Been more critical than I thought was fair. And Amy has been their darling from the beginning. BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN JENNA, PEOPLE! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN JENNA! Seriously. This is some bullsh!t. Jenna, you're on my list. And judges…WTF, judges? Just, WTF?
Kate: So happy about Alan, though. Bye creeper!

Monkton Wood Bank
The Monkton Wood Bank is a heating and fuel assistance program that serves low-income households in Addison County. The program supplies wood and other heating fuels, such as wood pellets and kerosene, in emergency heating situations throughout the winter. This entirely volunteer-led community resource is run in coordination with H.O.P.E (Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects). Most recipients are registered with H.O.P.E, and this is the easiest way to request a delivery if you are in need.
Willowell began efforts to support the wood bank in 2016 by coordinating deliveries, storing the wood, and providing volunteer labor efforts. We rely on residents and volunteers to make this program available. Donations, volunteers, and wood are greatly appreciated.
If you are a family in need call H.O.P.E at (802) 388-3608.

Record-Courier staff report
ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Kent State Golden Flashes women's basketball team dropped their fourth consecutive loss to open the 2012-13 season in a 70-56 setback to Florida A&M in the first of two games at the Georgia Southern Tournament.
The Flashes will resume play today at the tournament against the host team in a game scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
On Friday, the Flashes actually took a nine-point lead into halftime, but second-half turnovers doomed any chance of delivering career victory No. 1 to first-year head coach Danielle O'Banion.
In total, KSU gave the ball away 36 times. Even still, the Flashes held the lead all the way up until the 11-minute mark of the second half before Florida A&M (2-1) overtook Kent State by using a 15-4 run.
What helped keep Kent State in command prior to that was the fact that the Flashes (0-4) out-rebounded their opponent 48-29 in the game and held Florida A&M to only 5-of-29 from 3-point range.
However, the scoring duo of guards Kimberly Sparkman (29 points) and Jasmine Grice (25) points proved to be way too much firepower for the Flashes to overcome. Florida A&M's Sparkman and Grice combined to score 77 percent of their team's output.
For Kent State, Melanie Stubbs scored a career-high 15 points to go along with six rebounds.
Ashley Evans had seven assists and three steals, while Diamon Beckford had seven rebounds.

Curriculum Aims
With over fifty languages spoken at this school and set in the Olympic heartland, our World Languages Curriculum Area offers one of the most wide-ranging languages curricula nationally. Furthermore we offer all staff and students the chance to learn over 26 languages through the use of Rosetta Stone. Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures, deepening pupils' understanding of the world and preparing them for study and work in other countries. Our dedication to internationalism, determination to mould global citizens and our quest to build on the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of our students underpins our curriculum.
Year 10 and 11
All students study a language at Key Stage Four following the Edexcel GCSE specification. The study of a language to GCSE level allows students to begin develop skills which will empower them to work or study abroad, learn further new languages as well as widening opportunities for sixth form, college and university study as completing a GCSE in a foreign language forms part of the English Baccalaureate.
Our current Year 10 and 11 are studying the new GCSE specification and will sit exams in reading and translation, speaking, writing and listening at the end of Year 11. By the end of Key Stage Four, students will have mastered a range of grammatical structures and topics including media and culture, sport and leisure, business and education and travel and tourism. We also offer students the opportunity to complete a GCSE or AS Level in their home language with students taking GCSEs ranging from Bengali to Turkish.
Topics include:
- Identity and Culture
- Cultural Life
- Holidays
- Travel and Tourism

With only one of Rebellion festival under my belt I consider myself to be still new to the experience so I was looking forward to the full weekender of music, laughs, and of course a few refreshments along the way.
Especially as it was a father and son trip this time out, and no, I didn't take my father.
I was instead the mature guiding hand (aye right) to my traveling companion Fudgie Jnr.
Two generation of punk and ska music fans joining together to make the pilgrimage to the Mecca of all things punk rock.
On arrival in Blackpool Fudgie Jnr did what all teenager do and waited patiently by my side for as long as it took to hand over the tickets and then he was off and left me to deal with the grown up things like booking into a hotel and making sure we had a place to rest our weary heads.
So thanks for that son.
Once all the mundane details were sorted out the first port of call was the illustrious venue that is The Winter Gardens.
I had missed Skaciety who had just finished their set, but managed to find Fudgie jnr who was chatting to their manager Andy Lamb.
A lovely guy, and one who we had the pleasure of meeting a few times throughout the course of the weekend.
The main thing that struck me apart from the usual overload experience of seeing so many punks in the one place was the heat.
The weather was pleasant enough, but within the Winter gardens with its glass roof it creates a greenhouse effect that does its best to wilt Mohicans and dehydrates everyone to the point that a beer is a necessity and not just a luxury, and of course that's my excuse for hitting the bar and I am sticking to it.
Once the thirst was quenched it was time to sample the music and other options on offer.
Of the Thursday evening the best bits for me were the Don Letts interview in The Opera House where Mr John Robb of Goldblade - who always amazes me with his eternal youthful looks - conducted the half hour chat.
The interview was obviously focused on punk history, and no doubt the hardcore fans were aware of most of the content, but the story of how Don was first introduced to Bob Marley, and how he ended up his drug dealer when Bob was in London had me ending myself with laughter and trying not to fall out of my seat in the old theatre.
He also went on to say how he convinced Bob to listen to some punk and how Bob ended up writing ' Punky Reggae Party'.
Twisted truth or Urban Myth?
Who knows? I'll let you decide, but if anyone can play loose and fast with the facts then Don gets a free pass from me.
Fridays session started with Big D and the Kids Table in the Empress Ballroom followed by The Cundeez, some Exploited and then Buzzcocks.
There is just so much to catch that it is really impossible to juggle everything and there will always be the rock and a hard place choices about who to go and see, but ultimately there are no disappointments as we managed to catch enough of each one to make the running about worthwhile.
Let's not pretend that by the Saturday and then the Sunday that fatigue can set in, but like warriors you just have to put your head down and charge into battle.
Especially when the first act is on at 1pm on the Saturday and it was the wee small hours before our heads hit the pillows from the Friday night entertainment.
Something that surprised me as we headed to the first show was the lack of a large police presence, inside and out of this great historic venue.
The pedestrian street directly in front of the main entrance was a gathering point for punks young and old to meet up, chat and get down to the business of having their carry out spanked before being hit with the £4 pint inside.
And yet there was no heavy handed response to the celebrations.
Mainly because the first impressions that are given don't tell the real story.
It's not a bunch of antisocial punks hanging about looking for a ruck, but
The street was always mobbed with toddlers to original 1977, back in the day, old school punks.
I seen a guy with grey hair spiked red on top, walking around with a zimmer frame. An old couple with studded leathers on and patches of The Clash and The Ramones wheeling around on two disability scooters!
Families, couples, singletons, groups of people, just people, all here for one thing.
To enjoy what Rebellion has done for twenty years.....getting punks from all over the World to enjoy the biggest International Punk Festival that there is.
It's more a happy colourful carnival for all the family than what most would expect.
Over the course of the weekend I only saw two policemen all weekend.
This in itself is a great tribute to the people of Blackpool, and everyone who attended ....no trouble, no hassle, no violence ....just one Big Punk Party!!!
It would be fair to say that everything just fits.
Even the merchandise inside was aplenty too.
From t-shirts from bands on the bill to stall holders selling all manner of punk couture there was something for everyone, and at a fair price.
Not for Rebellion is the mark up we see at some festivals as most bands tour tshirts were selling for between £10 and £15.
The official festival tshirt was just £15 and an excellent design too.
In fact it was so good I bought us each one.
Music wise we caught the Old Firm Casuals who our friend Chris Herron interviewed when they played Glasgow - and you can fine elsewhere on the site if you care to have a gander – an acoustic set from Skaciety, Steve Dewitt, The Men They Couldn't Hang, The Damned, Steve Ignorant and Paranoid Visions and the absolutely brilliant Liouse Distras. The fuss about her is truly warranted.
The best band of the weekend was for us Jaya The Cat.
They played a blinder in The Pavillion at 1.00 am on the Sunday morning.
Fudgie Jr had introduced me to them a few months back, but I never expected the atmosphere and crowd to be so buzzed for the event!
All the main stages closed at 12am so this smaller venue was packed to the gunnels come 12.30am.
Fudgie Jr characteristically said his goodbyes and made his way to the front when they came on and I met up with a couple I knew who so very kindly stood with an auld punk who cannae handle the front anymore!
Jaya The Cat, a reggae/ska band who base themselves in Amsterdam, had the whole crowd in the palm of their hand from the start and from my vantage point it was impressive to see the play between band and crowd.
The interaction only stopped when the lights went up and it was very obvious that band and crowd would have happily ignored the curfew.
If this is the first that you have heard of them then it is do yourself a favour time and go and check them out.
Sunday also brought with it Ayrshires very own The Minority Rule.
A band who's oldest member is 18 years old and already making headlines as some of you may know.
Their only too short set on the Introducing Stage did however attract a large crowd and they powered through it with the balls and teenage angst and anger that some of their older peers could do with revisiting.
Debut single 'Her Black Dog' highlighted all the promise the band have and stood out as one of the songs of the weekend.
These guys are going to do well.
Youngsters with a great attitude about them and plenty of talent in their song writing and musical ability.
A very timely reminder that punk of today isn't disappearing anywhere fast!
Sometimes when you think you can't push on through it is worth it to make the effort because the last two acts on the new outside ' Tower Street Arena' stage nailed it.
Jello Biafra and The Guantanimo School of Medicine took to the stage around 9.30pm and as with a lot of the bands this weekend because Jello and the GSOM don't play Scotland that often this was one of my "have to see's".
And they didn't disappoint!
Jello puts Bono in the corner with a cone shaped hat on when he charges through his 'speeches' inbetween songs, and he never let anyone off the hook.
David Cameron, Theresa May, George Osborne and Nigel Farage's ears would all have been burning throughout the set and the crowd absolutely loved it!
It wasn't just the UK's most prolific Parliamentary bums getting a roasting though as he started into Big Time.
Donald tint hand Trump got it all four ways before Jello introduced the newer version of an old Dead Kennedys song ' Nazi Trumps Fuck Off ! ' .
Taking a leaf out of Iggys book of your never to old to stage dive he was head first into the moshpit without missing a word or the beat.
The crowd at this point lost it.
So much so that the band had to ask for him to be returned to the stage.
It certainly got the heart raising and a great set full of Jello's own Marcel Marcea-esque mime artistry that I've never been able to work out just added to the lunacy
It's all part of his show and it's great entertainment for fans and even non fans to see.
Last on was Stiff Little Fingers.
Now some people would have opted to go and see someone else but I love SLF and I don't get to see them enough.
Their short set (as all of the main stage acts - about an hour each) consisted mainly of the old classics with a couple of not so old and a newish one from their last album entitled , 'My Dark Places'.
A great track telling the story of Jakes own personal battle with depression.
The crowd gain loved it and bounced along with its upbeat and punky chords.
SLF never fail to disappoint me, never ever.
Even though he is getting on in years, as are we all, Jake gives it everything and that commitment really impresses me still to this day.
They never bothered going off stage at the end of their set as Jake said, "What's the point in walking off and coming back on? That takes too much time and they are going to switch us off at some point anyway!" before they turned it up for Gotta Gettaway and the time was right for it. Perfect in fact. This song means so much to me personally and I was glad to get to have it ringing in my ears as I started heading for the exit to go and meet young Fudgie - who was again down at the barrier – before we could go and grab a burger at the burger joint that had become our go to spot for a final much before hitting the hotel.
Even as we turned the corner to head towards the North Pier I could still hear the band and the last chord pulling the crowd towards giving the band a rapturous round of applause.
I walked away a happy and contented man, knackered and a bit sore from the weekends revelry, but happy I had been and done a full Rebellion at last.

Alliance Provides 24/7 Monitoring and Support for Key Stakeholders of ICANN's Revolutionary New gTLDs Program
NORTHBROOK, IL--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) - INOC, a 24x7 Network Operations Center (NOC) and global provider of NOC monitoring, reporting and support services, announces today a strategic partnership with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), in which INOC will provide a year-round, 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) to support the New generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD) Program.
ICANN's New gTLD Program is designed to increase competition, innovation and consumer choice in the domain name space, enabling any established entity in the world to apply for its own top-level domain. Before the program, only 22 options were available, '.com' being the most common. This program has made it possible for brands, communities and organizations to express themselves in ways never imagined before, including the usage of non-Latin scripts, like Cyrillic, Chinese, or Arabic.
"We are proud to support ICANN on an initiative that will truly revolutionize the Internet as we know it," says Prasad Ravi, CEO of INOC. "The unique nature of the New gTLDs Program is not only a testament to INOC's ability to deliver uptime to companies around the world, but also tailor solutions to meet our customers' specific requirements and processes -- no matter how complex they may be."
INOC works closely with ICANN as well as domain name Registries, external contractors and network operators across the globe to monitor the uptime, security and availability of the program's newly established gTLDs. INOC's team of experienced engineers is able to pinpoint geo-located problems, execute notifications and help ICANN's vast array of global customers rapidly restore their services.

About ICANN
ICANN's mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination, we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet. For more information please visit: www.icann.org.

Wishing them luck for their Edinburgh performances, Minister Heather Humphreys, commented: "Each year our artists look forward to this important annual event and the opportunities it offers.

Culture Ireland acknowledges the importance of the partners who assist in raising the profile of Irish artists throughout the Festival season, including key Edinburgh venues and Festivals (Dance Base, Pleasance, Summerhall, Edinburgh International Book Festival) and the Irish Consulate in Edinburgh.

Wedding Video: Meghan & Alex Nickerson
This one goes back a few months, but our friends at Willow Tree Films did such an amazing job of highlighting the wedding that we've got to post it. We provided the lighting, sound for the ceremony and of course, the packed dance floor. We could write for days about how amazing this wedding was, but we'll let the video speak for itself.

The AMAZING GEO RACE PARTY ADVENTURE
What is Geo Caching?
GeoCaching is a relatively new sport attracting thousands of players both nationally and internationally. Often described as a "High-tech Treasure Hunt", it utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) Receivers and the Internet to locate hidden "treasure", known as the "cache". GeoCaching is a fun and challenging experience, and is perfect for groups of all ages and abilities. It combines technology and the great outdoors in a unique activity perfect for your Birthday Party or Special Event.

Participants set forth in small teams with a pre-programmed GPS unit containing coordinates. Players follow these coordinates in order to seek out the locations of a series of hidden Caches. In addition to GPS coordinates, players will also be provided a set of physical clues to help them in their quest.
Teammates work together, combining problem solving with outdoor adventure to work toward the goal of locating these hidden caches. Teams race against one another and the clock, to locate the most hidden caches, and return to the home base before the other team.
Points will be given for each Cache located in a specific time frame. Once the clock winds down, players must make their way back to the home base with all the point cards collected. All point cards will be added. Penalty points will be assigned to teams returning late. The team with the most points at the end of the race will be considered the winners.

Severn Estuary fossils reveal Stone Age fire starting
Stone Age fossil finds in the Severn Estuary suggest hunter-gatherers were shaping the environment long before farming started, say researchers.
Flint "tools" dating back 7,500 years as well as bones and campfire debris were found at Goldcliff, near Newport.
University of Reading academics said the finds pointed to Mesolithic people using fire to encourage plant growth.
Fossil footprints found in the estuary include those of children as young as four helping with food production.
The Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age, started in about 10,000BC, as the last Ice Age ended.
The researchers have visited the site for the past two summers. On their most recent trip they found charcoal and hazelnut shells.
They believe this indicates fire was used to encourage the growth of plants, such as hazelnuts, crab apples and raspberries, all which were eaten at the site.
The university archaeology department head, Prof Martin Bell, said the Severn Estuary was exceptional in its evidence of the plants used by Mesolithic people, thousands of years before farming began.
He said: "Previously it was thought that these people were mainly hunting deer and simply responding to the spectacular environmental changes around them, such as sea level rise.
"Now there is increasing evidence that they were adept at manipulating their environment to increase valued plant resources.
"Combining our finds with the trees, pollen and insects from the area we can build a picture of the environmental relationships of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers.
"These people were highly adaptable and continued using the same site as the environment changed dramatically from old woodland to reedswamp, to saltmarsh and back to fen woodland."
Footprints of animals and birds are among those being found by the researchers, he said, along with those of people.
Prof Bell said: "The footprints include those made by children, which is extremely exciting as the role of children tends not to be visible in the archaeological record.
"They show youngsters as young as four were actively engaged in the productive activities of the community."
Prof Bell said the proposed Severn tidal barrage would have "very serious consequences" on a site that was "giving archaeologists an unparalleled glimpse into the life of a Stone Age settlement".

Friday 10th May 2013

An unexpected drop in US weekly jobless claims and solid earnings including from News Corp weren't enough to keep Wall Street from sliding after initially setting fresh records.
The labour market provided further reason for optimism about the general outlook for the US economy, following the April jobs data released last Friday. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits declined 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 323,000, the lowest level in more than five years, according to Labor Department data.
In afternoon trading in New York, however, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2 percent, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index shed 0.4 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite Index dipped 0.1 percent. The S&P 500 hit an all-time high of 1,635.01 earlier in the session, while the Dow touched a record 15,144.83.
The tail-end of the American earnings seasons also lent a helping hand to the overall mood. Shares of News Corp climbed, last up 4.7 percent, after earnings exceeded analysts' expectations.
While stocks fluctuated today, there are plenty of signs that the bulls might be here to stay.
"Aside from a few pullbacks where people take profits, there's still plenty of upside," Randy Frederick, the Austin-based managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab, told Bloomberg News.
"Despite the fact that we're hitting records every day, there's no reason to believe this won't continue for a while. The only thing that can derail this type of a move is some sort of really unexpected news event," he said.
Shares of Barnes & Noble jumped, last up 22.7 percent, after a report Microsoft was considering an offer to buy all of Nook Media's digital assets for US$1 billion.
Shares of Facebook rose 0.9 percent amid a report it is in advanced talks to buy Israel-based Waze for US$800 million to US$1 billion. Officials at Waze and Facebook declined to comment on the report by business daily Calcalist, Reuters said.
In Europe, the benchmark Stoxx 600 Index edged nearly 0.1 percent higher. National benchmark stock indexes in London and Germany also gained, up 0.1 percent and 0.2 percent respectively. France's CAC 40 shed 0.7 percent.
The latest economic data from the UK were better than anticipated. UK industrial production increased more than expected in March, gaining 0.7 percent from the prior month, providing a welcome sign of recovery.
The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee today kept its target for bond purchases at 375 billion pounds, and held its key interest rate at a record low 0.5 percent.
The yen fell to a four-year low against the US dollar, weakening 1.5 percent to 100.46 per dollar.
"Defense of the 100-yen barrier was weak this time around, so traders took advantage and zoomed ahead," Sebastien Galy, currency strategist at Societe Generale in New York, told Reuters. "We see further upside in dollar/yen now that that barrier is gone."

troy hubbs
The Village Theater at Cherry Hill is pleased to exhibit the works of Troy Hubbs now through July 29, 2019.
There will be a free reception honoring the work of Troy Hubbs on July 10, 2019 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Artist Statement of Troy Hubbs
For as long as I can remember, I have been visually studying life and the world around me. Looking for a template. Something to grasp and hold onto. Something to make sense of the world and my place in it. Painting has given me that template. Taking what is outside inward and giving it back through my eyes, gives me a place and peace of mind. I am normally inspired by the Old Master Painters; however, a few years ago I was commissioned to create some paintings—more abstract/not image based—color palettes. I enjoyed breaking away from representational art for a while, and have explored abstracts further in this body of work. I can see influences from abstract expressionist painters Mark Rothko and Willem De Kooning in some of the pieces. The technique used is a combination of palette knife and brush work, painted wet on wet, Alla Prima style in oils.
About TROY HUBBS
Troy comes from an illustration background, primarily inking work for several companies including: Top Cow Productions, McFarlane Productions, WildStorm Productions, Image Comics, Marvel Comics, and Warner Brother's Entertainment. Titles including: Spawn, Wildcats, Gen-13, Sigma, Alpha Flight, Nightfall: The Black Chronicles, Generation X and X-Men. In addition, he worked on a painted graphic novel with writer Steve Seagle. He has studied at the Center for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan; the Brooks College of Design, Long Beach, California and the Art Center, Pasadena, California.

Three top diet and workout mistakes while you try to build your musclesSubmitted by BrianPalmer on Wed, 01/18/2017 - 11:32
In this article, we are examining bodybuilding mistakes that anyone may do when he/she starts lifting. Of course, there are several diet and workout mistakes that somebody could do while he/she trains with weights, but here we are going to mention three of the most common and basic ones. So, if you are a beginner yourself, hopefully you can learn from and benefit from the mistakes mentioned here as they apply to your program as well.

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts/
Being adventurous and trying new things is good while on the other hand, it can be down right scary. As a parent, I want my son to know it is good to be adventurous and try new things. Let me tell you, this recipe, Sauteed Brussels Sprouts is an adventure you want to take.
Brussels sprouts are a new favorite vegetable for our family. Being real here... I never tasted them until about a month ago and I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked them. I have my sister, Lisa, to thank for getting me hooked on these little green gems.
For several years I have heard her talk about Brussels sprouts and asparagus and I finally got tired of hearing about them and decided it was time to do something about it. I bought a pound of asparagus and was able to find loose Brussels sprouts and bought six. Yeah, I did not want to spend a lot of money on something I was afraid no one would like, so six it was. I called Lisa and she told me both ways she cooks her sprouts and I went from there to create our new favorite side dish. The Brussels sprouts won hands down and the asparagus was okay, but it was NOT our favorite. (I may have to get a little creative with the asparagus and give them a try again.) When she heard about our new-found love, she was happy and she now has my recipe for Sauteed Brussels Sprouts.
I test my Brussels sprouts while they are cooking to make sure they are cooked perfectly. Under-cooked and overcooked Brussels sprouts are awful. Make sure you time them perfectly.
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
1 pound Brussels Sprouts
4-6 slices bacon
1-2 Tablespoons bacon grease
1 small onion diced
4-5 mushrooms sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Cut off the stem end of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow leaves. Cut in half length wise and set aside. In a hot skillet, fry the bacon until crisp, remove from grease and set aside. Add the onions and begin cooking, after about 3 minutes add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and seasoning, continue cooking until the Brussels sprouts become soft, not mushy. Remove from heat and serve.
I'd love to hear if you try the recipe.

KIM Kardashian might have allegedly been targeted along with 100 more celebrities by a hacker leaking nude photos online, but she's got in there first -and posed totally starkers for British GQ.
Go Kim!
The KUWTK star shows off her winning kurves as she lays flat out on a double bed in one of the sizzling snaps, showing off her world famous bum in all its glory.
Kanye West you lucky devil you.
Another snap sees the star turn on to her back and cover her huge boobs with both arms and carefully pull up the ruffled duvet to protect (some) of her modesty.
We're going all hot under the collar - and we have not even seen all the pictures yet - we need to wait just a little longer...
Holding nothing back, the shoot sees Kim flaunt every inch of her figure before closing her eyes slightly in a final shot which will have the world fall weak at the knees.
It comes after the star was named GQ's Woman of the Year - and we can totally see why.
Arriving in a see-through glitzy gown and tiny black shiny bodice, Kim kept all eyes on her as she walked the red carpet with her hubby Kanye West before collecting the award.
Speaking after the event, Kim said: "I don't know [where I'll put the award], maybe next to Kanye's Grammys?"

More pictures coming soon!

When I arrived in Berlin last year, I remember checking Blogfabrik's website. I was already fan of iHeartBerlin – I understood they were related – and I thought to myself that it would be great to be part of such an interesting community. Six months later, I was a part of the team. How amazing! Especially because Blogfabrik is exactly what I expected: A community of content creators developing their creativity and willing to share their knowledge.
It all started last year. I had just arrived in Berlin, was discovering my surroundings and open to anything the city had to offer. I came here to develop my music career and I ended up as an Art Curator. How funny is that! Berlin is amazingly creative, cosmopolitan and easy-going, unless you are not open to experience it. I was working on my first exhibition, looking for ideas, and one day I came across "Arriving at the Berlin State of Mind", a text by Keith Telfeyan published on iHeartBerlin. I was immediately struck by how his description of Berlin fit my vision. I got in touch with Keith, we met and it clicked. We are now friends. That was my first collab with a talented Berlin-based content creator, who was actually part of Blogfabrik. It was easy and very natural. I featured his text in the zine I had created for my first exhibition "Freer In Berlin #1 – New Femininity".
"Freer in Berlin" took place at Blender, in Neukölln. And somehow, it went viral. Many people showed up that weekend. That's the thing about Berliners: they are curious. That's when I met Nicolas Simoneau from KALTBLUT Magazine. He showed up at the show and we had a lil chat, en français, mes amis. It was a lot of fun! We met again and talked about collaborating. We decided to organise an event together: "Digital Luv". Once again, the connection was very natural. We started meeting at Blogfabrik once a week to prepare the event, as Nicolas was already part of the community. I remember being really impressed by the calm atmosphere at Blogfabrik and how easy it was to have access to all the tools we needed. The show took place at Blogfabrik's event space, and was such a great success that one month later, I was a happy member of the Blogfabrik community.
Later, I met the amazing photographer Eylül Aslan at a magazine launch. We had a great talk that night, crazy but fun, and I hoped our paths would cross again. Well, it happened sooner than I thought – for a great job opportunity. Because of the growing notoriety of Curated by Girls, I got the chance to be involved in an amazing project for Nike and Vogue, thanks to Glutamat Kommunikation. They asked me to put up an all-girls creative team together, and I immediately thought it was the perfect opportunity to work with Eylül. The Nike shoot took place at the Blogfabrik photo studio – working in a familiar place eased some of the pressure, and it worked quite well. We worked together again on a video project for Vogue, which was an amazing experience as well. And of course the best part is that Eylül and I are now friends.
Most recently, I was lucky to take part in the important project "Ehe Für Alle", organised by the iHeartBerlin team, in collaboration with Skyy Vodka. I met Frank Schröder and Claudio Rimmele from iHeartBerlin at Blogfabrik. Being a big fan of their blog, they could ask me anything and I would say yes. Haha, well almost anything! So I was super excited and honoured when Frank asked me to get involved in a photo shoot to support marriage for all. I am always available to show my support to a cause that matters, and to support people that are actively trying to make the world a better place. The best part is that I was there when Germany finally voted YES for marriage equality! About time guys! It was cold and rainy but we were there! A memorable time.
The beauty of all this is how it didn't take me long to meet great people and do amazing things together. Working as a team is so important and often results in great friendships.
"None of us is as smart as all of us" — Ken Blanchard
What's next? I am really looking forward to the Content Creation Week in September. All the content creators at Blogfabrik will present a workshop or panel, sharing their knowledge of specific subjects related to creative work, like how to build your Instagram, how to write successful articles, how to build a web- site… stuff like that. It's gonna be fun and super interesting!! Come!

Forget the morality of it - as an attorney, I can explain to you the ugly consequences of drinking and driving. And the reality of it is that you really shouldn't do it. In the podcast, I explain why.
I've represented more than a few people who have been arrested for drinking and driving and the costs those clients have incurred went far beyond what they had to pay me. Most were shocked by how expensive it was - in money they paid out and the effect the conviction had on their lives.
Here, in Lehto's Law XXVII I outline all of the negative ways the drunk driving conviction will impact your life. And I briefly talk about why these charges are so difficult to fight these days.
I hate to preach but this topic really does boil down to one sentence: Don't Drink and Drive. And here's why.
The pic at the top? That's the Vivant, something I stumbled upon at the Glenmoor Gathering. I took a ton of pics that day and that folder is the collection that keeps on giving.

To determine how many gallons are in your pond, use the following formula:
Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.25
First of all, please understand that a living ecosystem water garden is NOT a spa. The rocks are SUPPOSED TO HAVE a green fuzz on them -- we call it pond patina. This is part of your "filtration" system that helps keep your water gin-clear. However, from time to time, the water qualities suffers for a variety of reasons (dust storms, cold water issues in Winter, etc.), and you might need to add a little something extra to get it back on track.
DO NOT add anything that contains the suffix "cide" in its name or description. This designates it as a poison, no matter what the rest of the label says. You do not want a chemically-dependent water feature!
Here are some recommendations for treating water quality issues:
Beneficial Bacteria
Because ornamental water gardens are enclosed ecosystems, sometimes factors like fish load, uneaten fish food, organics such as leaves, sludge and unwanted debris may disrupt the balance. Aquascape Beneficial Bacteria maintains a strong biological balance; providing clean, clear and healthy water conditions.
Cloudy or green water.
Use two good-sized pinches per day at the skimmer area until water clears. Once the water clears, back off of the dosage slowly until you are adding it only once a week. If the water stays clear for two weeks, you can discontinue usage.
SAB (String Algae Buster)
SAB™ Stream and Pond Clean contains pure strains of concentrated beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Ideal for breaking down debris in ponds, streams and waterfalls, this combination of natural cleaners helps to maintain a strong biological balance in your pond. Be sure to mix the SAB with POND water before application!
String algae that becomes longer than 3" in length.
Using a large clear glass or plastic jar, partially filled with POND water, add five tablespoons of SAB and shake/mix until the SAB has completely dissolved in the water. Once dissolved, spread it around the pond as thoroughly as possible, sprinkling it through the stream around the perimeter of the pond and a little in each skimmer. If the SAB is not dissolved in the water, it just sinks to the bottom of the pond and is minimally effective if at all.

Anyone who has worked with me recently will know that I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to lighting. In fact, I rarely shut up about it. You might think it unusual that rather than playing with new cameras, steadicams and other gadgets I would rather be playing with bulbs, bounce and black wrap. The reason behind it is I believe that when composing an image, whether for a corporate video or a film, lighting is everything. Well, almost. You can't have a shoot without the other elements, but at least if you want your images to be memorable and perhaps even cinematic then you can't avoid the subject of lighting.
I have decided to unleash my inner lighting geek and channel my knowledge, experiments and discoveries into a series of lighting articles over the coming weeks and months and hopefully you and I will both learn something from this. Now I'm certainly no Roger Deakins and I don't have a physics degree, but over the last few years I've picked up some useful tricks about how to make footage look just that little bit better. If you want to increase production value in your projects then read on.
Why do we need to light for video and film productions?
In this digital age that we live in new cameras are being released more often than ever with higher ISO capabilities, greater dynamic range and lower noise. Cameras such as the Sony A7S are pushing the boundaries with their low light capabilities, allowing users to shoot in what was once 'impossible' conditions with extremely high ISOs (up to 409,600 for the A7S!) and low noise. Improvements in noise removal software such as Neat Video have also given shooters more flexibility and freedom, knowing that they can get their shot and save it in post. So the big question is why would anyone bother to light a shot when the camera can, in theory, do all the work?
1. The low light capability of a camera cannot hide unflattering light.
You can push the ISO all you like, but it won't make skin tone flattering. This is one reason why when I shoot corporate videos in offices with ugly green fluorescent lighting that I insist on turning the lights off and starting from scratch (if time allows) with tungsten or daylight balanced lighting, depending on the room. This helps me regain control.
2. Natural light can be a blessing..and a curse.
There are times when natural light does all the work for you and for some reason (you may not always know why) your image just looks amazing. But the sun moves. Clouds move. Shadows change. And this can all happen in the space of one take - ruining your continuity, exposure and wasting yours and your clients time. Learning how you can use natural light to your advantage and how artificial lighting can save the day can also help you regain control.
3. Carefully (and sometimes easily) placed lighting can increase production values substantially.
The secret to making your image look cinematic could be as simple as taking out your reflector. No fancy camera movement and no expensive jib, yet your image is screaming professionalism. Adding a subtle back light in an interview could make your subject leap out from the background. Do you want to grab your audience's attention?
4. Lighting creates mood and atmosphere.
Positive and inspirational? Cold and unsettling? Whether it's video or film, effective lighting is designed to evoke an emotion.
5. Lighting doesn't always have to be expensive. Cameras usually are.
You would be amazed at what you can do with some cheap work lights from your local hardware store. I will be going into more detail on this in a future post.
6. Lighting doesn't become obsolete. Cameras do (quickly).
Besides having to change bulbs and fuses, the running and maintenance costs for most lights is extremely low and they can in theory be used for many years. LED fixtures are proving to have an even longer lifespan. Your camera will probably only see professional use for 2 - 4 years.
7. Almost every light has a purpose.
Whether it be a Chinese lantern or a desk lamp, there is a use for any fixture that provides some sort of light (reliably and safely). For example, desk lamps can be used as effective 'practical' lights in a scene to give the image a more homely feel and a sense of depth. The chances are you probably own one too!
8. You may not always have access to a camera with low light capabilities.
The A7S and 5D are both great in low light. But what if you have to shoot on a smaller sensor camera such as the GH4 or an older DV camera? Learn some lighting tricks so that you can be prepared for all eventualities.
9. Sooner or later you could be faced with the task of lighting a green screen.
Lighting for green screen is an art in itself and there is high demand in the corporate world for people who can do it. Just knowing some lighting basics could save your production from an expensive re shoot.
10. AND FINALLY..Lighting helps you see in complete darkness. Which could save your life.
OK, so being able to light is a good skill to have but what if you don't have much time or budget to do it?
This a problem that I regularly face and the reality is that in production (the corporate world especially) there often isn't time for lengthy set ups when working around other people and their businesses. Time is money after all. However, having the knowledge can be a powerful thing and it's better to have the knowledge and lack the means than vice versa. In some cases however, there can be effective solutions to lighting issues that are surprisingly simple. I won't lie, it's not always simple, but as soon as you start training your eye to notice lighting characteristics you'll start learning how to solve some of these problems and become more efficient at doing so, regardless of your time or budget. If you're prepared to learn and adapt then in time the results will speak for themselves.
Stay tuned for future posts where I'll be exploring various lighting techniques and equipment in further detail, including my upcoming post: 5 simple lighting solutions (when time is money)

Top-Ranked Casino Software
It would be difficult to find an online casino with more experience than Jackpot City - after all, they've been in the online gambling business since 1998, which by itself shows that they know the ins and outs of operating an online casino and - most importantly - how to keep their customers happy.
Jackpot City operates on Microgaming software. Microgaming is a well-known and highly respected online casino software provider with the biggest progressive jackpots online (the Mega Moolah jackpot is often well into millions of dollars). Jackpot City has over 200 casino games and counting, some of the most popular being slot machines such as Major Millions, King Cashalot and Fruit Fiesta.
Furthermore, Jackpot City works on both Windows and Mac, has a downloadable and a no-download version of their casino and is mobile-friendly as well (iPads, iPhones, Blackberrys and Android devices work seamlessly at Jackpot City).
I'm confident you'll be happy with a software that's been in popular use ever since 1998.
Fair Games (with Proof)
While most online casinos claim to payout x% on average or just publish no information about their payouts at all, Jackpot City's monthly payouts are made public by eCogra, an online gambling testing agency. Instead of being in the dark about the fairness of Jackpot City's games (because win or lose, you have no way of calculating an online slot machine's house edge unless you have some "inside" information), you can see their monthly payout percentages yourself.
Note: "Payouts" tell you the absolute percentage of money that Jackpot City has returned to its customers out of each bet on average; "Paybacks" tell you the theoretical percentage and cannot be influenced by huge jackpot wins (or long periods of time with no jackpot wins). Since eCogra publishes payouts, you need to look at the percentage for several months in order to get a realistic idea of the casino's theoretical return ("payback").
Customer Support That's Easy to Reach and Friendly
You have several ways of contacting the customer service at Jackpot City: live chat, e-mail and phone. I've tried to the live chat option a few times during my time there and there's always been a customer service representative available within a couple of minutes (I just tried it and was serviced within five seconds). They even have toll-free numbers for customers from 10 different countries - that's quite a feat considering that most online casinos have no phone support at all.
The website and software have been translated into 16 languages.
A Plethora of Deposit Options
All you need to know about Jackpot City's deposit options: you'll find one that suits you. The list of deposit methods available at Jackpot City is exhausting, but to name a few: VISA, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill, Click2Pay, eChecks, bank transfers, etc.
Jackpot City has informed me that most of their withdrawals are processed within 48 hours which is an acceptable cashout time to say the least.
Jackpot City processes money transactions in co-operation with Datacash Ltd., a company that's been in business since 1997.

Three-term Sen. Jon Kyl (R) of Arizona has announced he will not run for reelection in 2012, setting off two races: one to fill his seat in the Senate and another to fill his spot in the Republican leadership.
A day after the Republicans gained hope for a Senate pickup in Virginia with the announcement that Sen. Jim Webb (D) of Virginia will not run for reelection, Senator Kyl's retirement notice Thursday gave the Democrats their own little glimmer of optimism. Kyl was a lock for reelection had he decided to run. An open-seat race loosens the calculation a bit.
"While Kyl's retirement doesn't put the seat in immediate jeopardy, it creates a small opening for Democrats, and potentially a bigger one if they can recruit the right candidate," the nonpartisan Cook Political Report said on its website. "Thus, the race moves to Likely Republican until and if Democrats recruit a first-tier challenger."
Arizona has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, but the state has become increasingly competitive in presidential races. In 2008, native son John McCain, the state's senior senator and GOP presidential nominee, beat Barack Obama in Arizona by only 8.5 percentage points. Arizona's large Latino population, in particular, makes the state fertile ground for Democrats. Nationally, President Obama won two-thirds of the Latino vote in 2008.
But in the race to replace Kyl, the Republicans seem to have a stronger bench. Already, Rep. Jeff Flake, a tea party favorite who has gained national notice as a budget hawk, is reportedly leaning toward running. Other Republicans to watch include just-retired Rep. John Shadegg, former state Attorney General Grant Woods, and former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a tea partyer who ran against Senator McCain in the GOP Senate primary last year.
On the Democratic side, the top "get" would be Janet Napolitano, who was governor of Arizona until President Obama tapped her to head the Department of Homeland Security. Two Democratic members of the Arizona House delegation – Ed Pastor and Raul Grijalva – are also possibilities. Another delegation member, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, would have been seen as a top-tier choice, if not for her near-fatal shooting in Tucson last month.
Kyl is the fifth senator to announce plans to retire next year and the second Republican. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas is the only other Republican so far. Sen. Joe Lieberman (I) of Connecticut, who caucuses with the Democrats, is also not running. The Democrats are Senator Webb and Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota.
Kyl's retirement will also set off a battle for the No. 2 spot in the Senate Republican caucus behind minority leader Mitch McConnell. Political prognosticators are handicapping a potential race to replace Kyl between the No. 3 Republican, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, and Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The Republicans are in strong position to retake control of the Senate in 2012, and so the No. 2 slot is an especially big plum.
Kyl announced his retirement Thursday in a hastily organized news conference in Phoenix, offering nothing more specific about his decision except that "it's time."
"Let me hasten to say that there is nothing negative about the decision that I am making," Kyl said. "My health is good. I'm fairly confident that if I ran for reelection again that I could be reelected. I do not subscribe to this notion that politics has gotten so coarse these days that civil people can't engage in it. I try to do it civilly and learned long ago that there will be people who don't engage in civil discourse, but if you [let that stop you] from serving, then you really ought to get into another line of work. There's nothing about that that causes me to step down.... There is no reason, other than the fact that I think it's time."

New York raises minimum wage for tipped workers
Posted by
A state wage board has agreed to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers form $5.00 to $7.50 an hour.
Governor Cuomo announced the change at a rally with union leaders.
Cuomo, speaking to the union members, renewed his call to raise the state's minimum wage for non tipped workers to $10.50 an hour, $11.50 in New York City. Cuomo says businesses are making "record profits."
"Business is doing well, God bless 'em," Cuomo said. "But it is time that they share. We are looking at a polarization of income in this country like we've never seen before."
Not everyone was pleased with the increase. The state's Restaurant and Tavern Association says it's disappointed that the Governor's wage board did not limit the minimum wage for highly tipped workers to $6.50 an hour. The group predicts that it will slow job growth, and is considering legal action.
