Trouble in Paradise (1932)
When Trouble in Paradise sought to be re-issued three years after its 1932 release, the Hayes Office said: No way. The film that had been alright for release upon completion, if not without some minor, ignored objections, was far too scandalous for 1935 when the Production Code was in full swing. What was Director Ernst Lubitsch‘s crime with his first talking romantic comedy? Obvious sexual innuendos and a couple of thieves who get off scott free.
The subject that most comes up in discussions of the Production Code is sex. Before the code, women could have multiple partners, couples could have extramarital affairs, and the camera, dialogue or action could clearly indicate that a sexual act had just occurred. Another subject that fell under the Hayes Office’s purview, however, were criminal sorts. Individuals found as outright thieves or murders had to be punished –either by the legal system, suicide or other killing. You see this in many of the popular gangster movies of the 1930s and 1940s where our beloved hoodlum James Cagney or whomever gets it in the end. I suppose the message from the powers that be was understandable enough: Do not encourage crime. But those gangster films and Trouble in Paradise with them still glorify and make sexy the criminal aspect, so the restriction seems a moot one.
It was because of the Code’s distaste for Trouble in Paradise years later, which prevented anyone seeing it again until 1968 (with it unavailable on video or DVD until 2003), that this film has gone largely forgotten despite being among Lubitsch’s greatest work and a standout in film history. Herbert Marshall is Gaston who in his Venice hotel room eagerly accepts a visit from Lily, embodied by Miriam Hopkins, a woman claiming to be a countess. A man in another room has just been robbed of a large sum of money by a man posing as a doctor and seeking to examine his tonsils. During their dinner, Lily and Gaston intermingle romantic sentiments and the woman declares that Gaston is the man who robbed the neighboring Francois Fileba (Edward Everett Horton). As you can see in the video below, this wonderfully romantic and comedic scene –flush with “the Lubitsch touch”– continues as Gaston reveals that Lily has stolen the stolen wallet from him. Also pick-pocketed from the couple by each other are Lily’s pin, Gaston’s watch and Lily’s garter –but she is not getting that back. As an audience, we instantly decide that this pairing is perfect and the two will have an adventuresome future we can all enjoy.
While in Paris some time later, Gaston and Lily plot the thievery of an expensive purse from Mlle. Colet, played by Kay Francis while she is at the opera. To their fortune, the woman puts a notice of a reward for the bag that would exceed the amount the robbers could get if they sold it. Gaston returns the purse but during his visit with Ms. Colet, manages to woo her and she hires him as her secretary, in charge of all her financial affairs. Ms. Colet is the head of a major perfume company –by inheritance– and has a board of directors running things who now takes orders from Gaston. Colet also has “boyfriends” in none other than Mr. Fileba, the tonsil victim, and “The Major” (Charlie Ruggles). With Gaston in her life, however, she loses even more interest in the two feuding beaux. Gaston has brought Lily in to help him with his new duties and the two plan to rob Mlle. Colet’s safe once more cash has been deposited there, via Gaston’s new financial orders. Lily begins to get jealous, however, when it becomes apparent Mlle. Colet wants alone time with the secretary. It is unclear how much of an affair is conducted between Gaston and Colet, although they spend late nights together.
Mr. Fileba has yet to identify Gaston as the man who robbed him, and it is quite amusing to watch this fabulous character actor try to pull from his memory whether or not he has met the man previously. Eventually, The Major says at first he mistook Gaston for a doctor, and click Mr. Fileba has solved the mystery. Realizing this, Gaston and Lily plan to get out of town fast with the little money they can take from the safe at present. Lily is home packing but Gaston is getting tied up in Colet’s embraces as they visit each others’ bedrooms in a highly suggestive but funny number of scenes. What concludes the film are questions of: will they steal the money, will Mlle. Colet find out, and with whom will Gaston choose to stay, but I will not give that away.
I mentioned the highly risqué feel to this film, so here are a few examples. The opening title reads “Trouble in”, an image of a bed appears, and then the word “Paradise” shows up. Thank you, Lubitsch for explaining this movie is about trouble in bed. Besides Gaston and Colet responding to knocks at their bedroom doors by opening the door of the other, the end includes an embrace between those two that is filmed through a mirror above the woman’s bed so we can connect their embrace with that piece of furniture. Several edits using different angles also inserts a perfect shadowed silhouette of the kissing couple on the bed itself. Bullseye.
The sexy suggestions are not why one should watch Trouble in Paradise, however, but instead the snappy Lubitsch dialogue that had me laughing out loud throughout. The film is ripe with quick banter among the characters delivered in the most sophisticated manner that makes slapstick look utterly primitive. Apparently, Lubitsch throughout his career would act out every part in a movie to show the actors how to deliver the lines and move their bodies. He had started as an actor in Germany before entering directing there and finishing out the silent era in America, coming here at the bequest of Mary Pickford. Peter Bogdanovich has said that Lubitsch managed to get performances out of his actors that they did not convey in other films, which was likely the result of this control he exerted on the actual acting.

This ho accomplished by inducing his

he would "fix her all right." Having

and shot her. She fell but was not killed,
lie then instructed h's colored accom

her then until she was dead. During
her death agonies she was deliver cd of

If I get this phone today is flashing a custom recovery/ROM possible?
I am asking this because before I got my current phone (Verizon S4) I checked on the forums and saw all the talk about custom recoveries and custom ROMs and got all excited and bought the phone. When I got the phone however I became aware that all of this was only possible up until some OTA update after which custom recoveries became impossible, and since I had a newest phone straight from verizon withg the latest updates I could not do any of those things.
So, can someone confirm that to the best of the publics knowledge all this is still possible? This will make or break my decision to get the phone.
P.S. if there anything else that you think I should know, like stuff you wished someone told you before you got the phone, please dont hesitate to mention those things as well. | <urn:uuid:b0202fa5-8d37-49f1-9235-b4b2593a300a> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/help/considering-getting-phone-custom-t2822345/post54283075 | 2015-07-01T17:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095183.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00171-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974706 | 187 | [

TRIBUTES have been paid to former Scunthorpe United goalkeeper Ken Jones, who has died aged 77.
Mr Jones played 168 games for the Iron from 1958 to 1964 and is regarded by supporters as one of the club's greatest-ever goalkeepers.
He represented Wales at under-23 level but was never capped as a full international, although he was part of Wales' 1958 World Cup squad.
Winger Martin Bakes, 75, played alongside him at United's Old Show Ground from 1959 to 1962.
He said: "He had natural athletic ability and was very agile.
"He was a good goalkeeper and could be brilliant on his day.
"If you wanted anyone to stop a penalty, he was that sort of goalkeeper.
"He could be quite fiery but if anyone liked a laugh, it would be Ken.
"He was quite a popular player."
Among those who watched him play was Doug Parker, 65, treasurer of the Winterton Iron supporters' club.
He started attending United matches in 1955 and rates Mr Jones as the best to don the gloves in the history of the club.
Mr Parker said: "He was a character and he used to have a lot of chat with the crowd, which was unusual.
"He used to have a lot of banter if he had made a good save or if he had done something wrong, he would make hand signals.
"He was a brilliant goalkeeper. He was absolutely fantastic and in my opinion, he was the best we have ever had.
"He played in the halcyon days of Scunthorpe United in the second division and he was playing against Liverpool and teams like that.
"The 1961-62 season was our best ever and he was a brilliant keeper."
David Beeby, United's general manager, said: "The club are sad to hear the news.
"He was a very popular player during his time with Scunthorpe United and our sympathies go out to his family."
Mr Jones signed for Scunthorpe from Cardiff City and made his debut in a 0-0 draw with Bristol Rovers, a day after his 23rd birthday.
Initially, he was second choice to regular custodian Ken Hardwick but he established himself as the regular number one during the 1959-60 season.
He went on to become a terrace favourite at the Old Show Ground, before leaving for Charlton Athletic in the summer of 1964.
He also played for Exeter City and Yeovil Town and was given a long service award by the Football Association of Wales in 2009.
We'd love to receive your memories of Ken Jones [email protected] | <urn:uuid:49803c7f-3174-4a20-bcb9-f3f498b8cf9f> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk/Ken-Jones-best-keeper-Scunthorpe-United-dies-aged/story-18079093-detail/story.html | 2015-07-01T16:56:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095183.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00171-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.993228 | 564 | [

Well, personally, I find this snoozy ass triangle ten times more boring than characters sitting around "doing nothing," but who says Sami would be doing nothing? There are plenty of interesting things she could do without constantly running back and forth from man to man.
And honestly, even if Sami DID sit around doing nothing, I would welcome that as well. She NEEDS a little time on the backburner. Give us a chance to miss her, and then after the character has rested for a while, bring her back and re-establish her as the bitch she was always intended to be. I want to be re-introduced to the real Sami Brady.

This week we will
continue our consideration of Ephesians 6:18:
"With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this
be on the alert with all perseverance
and petition for all the saints..."
is Our Primary Goal
Think for one moment how radically our lives would be transformed if all the
time and energy we wasted on vain imaginations was turned into focused
prayer? This is what the apostle is appealing for in this verse, and it
should be a primary goal of every believer to pray in the Spirit at all
And Paul goes on to say, “with this in
view, be on the alert with all perseverance.”
One of the designations of a prophet in the Old
Testament was the “watchman.” It was the watchman’s job to be awake and
discerning. It was also the job of the watchman to pray, as we see in such
Scriptures as Isaiah 62:6-7:
your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all day and all night
they will never keep silent. You who
remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;
And give Him no rest until He
establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise
in the earth."
What Does a Watchman Do?
When I was in the military, we had military police and others whose job it
was to be on guard at all times. However, everyone had to stand watch at
appointed times, regardless of what his job was. Everyone was trained to
stand watch and knew that one of the worst offenses was to sleep while on
watch. The lives of many people were depending on the watchmen to keep
awake. In times of a war, a watchman who slept while on duty could
jeopardize the entire nation. Therefore, the penalty for such neglect was
most severe. We should take this calling to be watchmen for our times with
the same seriousness.
There are some whose calling is to be a watchman on the walls of their
church, ministry, or city. However, this is something that every believer
should be trained in, and all should be engaged in the watch to some degree.
Regardless of whether this is our primary calling in the Lord, or whether we
are just called on to do it during rotations, it should be something we take
with the utmost seriousness. We will not know until eternity how many of the
devil’s attacks worked because those who were called to watch were sleeping.
Understanding Delegated Authority
Of course, God never sleeps, but the mature believer understands delegated
authority—God has delegated authority to us, and He will not intervene
unless asked. The devil cannot get a shot in while God is not looking, but
God will let him hit us if we are being irresponsible. This is one of the
ways the Lord matures us so He can trust us with more authority.
Because ministries have spheres of authority, to be an effective watchman we
must know our realm of authority. If an infantryman in the army is called on
to be a guard on a skirmish line in the trenches, but he keeps trying to see
what was going on in the whole war, the enemy could most likely sneak up on
him. I appreciate the United States military doctrine where they try to keep
all of their men generally informed as to what is happening. However, it is
not good for a corporal to be overly concerned about the big picture
strategy of the war.
Focusing On Our Realm of Authority
If the Lord has made us a watchman for a home group, we need to take this
most seriously. It is good to have a general picture of what is going on
throughout the church, and to pray for other things as well, but we must
focus on our realm of authority if we are going to be properly on the alert
for it. Those who are faithful on one level will probably get promoted to
larger realms of authority. There is a point at which you are called to be a
watchman for a movement, or even the whole church. At this point, you really
cannot spend too much time praying for individuals without being kept from
your main purpose.
In the verse we have been studying for the last two weeks, Paul exhorts us
to pray at all times for all of the saints. This is an appropriate prayer
for all believers. It is right that we should keep our vision for all of
God’s people, and pray for them. However, there is another way that we
should take this also. We are called to pray for people, not just places,
events, programs, etc. We must never forget that one person in unity with
God is the most powerful force on the earth. Therefore, we should always
keep our prayers and our ministry, focused on people.

A Personal Note From Rick
There is far more to the watchman ministry than we can address in
this format. We have many tapes and other materials that deal with it
in more depth. These are available from our
website, or you may call toll free 1-800-542-0278 and
request a free catalog. On August 21-24, 2003, we are hosting
Advanced Prophetic Conference in Charlotte in which this
subject will be addressed.

(LINTON) - A woman sitting at her computer in her Linton home got an unexpected visitor in her home Wednesday night in the form of a teenager...and her car.
The Greene County Daily World says 17-year-old Briana Booher of Linton thought she was pulling into her boyfriend's grandmother's driveway, but ended up driving into Patricia Burris' sun room, which has floor to ceiling glass walls.
A couple witnesses saw the incident as it took place, and one neighbor, as he saw her backing out of the sunroom, ran up to the car, got Booher to stop and asked for the keys.
Booher passed all sobriety tests and police officials told the paper it didn't appear as if she was intoxicated, and no charges appear to be pending.

Hi and welcome to GMATClub
Well... U will progress for sure if u put enough of dedication to GMAT
... Do u have the OG 11
Once u work with this book, u have a better idea of what the GMAT questions are. Often tricky on 1 point, u will observe that u need to read with a whole attention the question and statments. It's one of the important things to do in order to avoid "silly" mistakes.
Also, your background will revive in u but it could bomb u by doing wrong assumptions... Especially with the question itself : understand i, n or l like integers when they are not and so on
Finally, good luck ! :D
... Don't forget that participating on the V & Q sections of GMATClub is the key of success | <urn:uuid:eb4bc6b2-89a6-4e9f-a4ce-bcb278118697> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://gmatclub.com/forum/i-was-a-physics-major-in-college-and-only-recently-took-a-42126.html?kudos=1 | 2015-07-08T05:03:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435376073161.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627033433-00301-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947404 | 166 | [

‘Tis the season for planning a trip to a Christmas market or two and thus also the season for our round-up of the best ones around.

The French capital is one of the most-visited cities in the world – and deservedly so. But it’s easy to get stuck following the trail of the tour groups and feel like you’re on the same circuit as hordes of other travellers.

Actually there are three replicas of the Statue of Liberty in Paris, but this is the largest – located on the Île aux Cygnes, a man-made island in the river Seine.

Tough rhetoric on Boko Haram from the Christian Association of Nigeria(Read article summary)
Guest blogger Alex Thurston says the harder pushback from the Christian Association of Nigeria is worrisome, because it could lead to even broader inter-religious violence in Nigeria.
• A version of this post ran on the author's blog, www.sahelblog.wordpress.com. The views expressed are the author's own.
For some time now I (and for some time before that, various commenters on the blog) have been worried about the possibility of Christian reprisals against Muslims in Nigeria in response to regular attacks on Christians by the Northern rebel movement Boko Haram. The nightmare scenario is one in which tensions caused by Boko Haram intersect with other points of political tension and with local conflicts, producing widespread interreligious violence. More immediately plausible scenarios involve continued and severe crises in flashpoint areas such as Jos and Kaduna, both of which are located in Nigeria’s highly religiously and ethnically diverse Middle Belt. One important indicator to track in assessing the likelihood of various scenarios is Christian groups’ rhetoric. Certain Christian leaders have been threatening reprisals since at least last summer. This week marks a reiteration of that rhetoric, and I am tempted to say an escalation of it, by two leaders from the powerful Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) who made headlines with statements about Boko Haram.
“I will now make a final call to the Nigerian government to use all resources available to it to clearly define and neutralise the problem as other nations have done,” Ayo Oritsejafor, head of the Christian Association of Nigeria, told reporters.
“The Church leadership has hitherto put great restraint on the restive and aggrieved millions of Nigerians, but can no longer guarantee such cooperation if this trend of terror is not halted immediately.”
The Kaduna State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has said that the continued attacks by the Boko Haram sect on Christians and churches across the Northern states, is a deliberate attempt to wipe out Christians from the region.
Chairman of CAN in the state, Reverend Sam Kraakevik Kujiyat, in a statement said the attacks and killings of Christians in Bayero University, Kano were barbaric.
“Nigerians, especially Christians should not be fooled into believing that the Boko Haram sect does not spare anyone. This is because their attacks against their Muslim brothers are either accidental or against those they see as working against their agenda. Their main targets are Christians and their places of worship.”
The first statement is important for the threat it contains, the second for the understanding of Boko Haram it reflects. Boko Haram has claimed the lives of hundreds of Muslims in addition to its Christian victims, but its recent attacks on Christians have reinforced a highly polarized view of what the movement is. Debates over who suffers most from religious violence in Nigeria are also not new; at a conference in Kano in the fall, I witnessed a testy exchange between the Sultan of Sokoto and a spokesman for CAN, with the latter emphasizing tragedies that had befallen Christians and the former arguing for an understanding of violence as affecting Muslims too. Such debates remain unresolved. But the rhetoric from CAN and other groups this spring certainly seems, to me, to be growing sharper. There is not always a clear progression from harsh rhetoric to violent acts, but at the very least the possibility of reprisal attacks on Muslims is real.

World War II veteran shares life of selfless service
May 8, 2014
FORT SILL, Okla. May 8, 2014 -- May 8, 1945, Allied forces celebrated victory over the German army; after four hard years of war American service members were ready to go home and get on with their lives.
Pfc. Hall Duncan was one of those GIs, but wasn't eligible to return stateside as he didn't have enough points to qualify to leave.
Undaunted, he chose to put that time to good use. The Oklahoma City native enrolled in college classes in what became a lifetime pursuit of self-improvement. Having just eclipsed 90 years of life, Duncan encouraged today's Soldiers to prepare for the future.
"Wherever you are take advantage of the opportunities to learn," he said. "Try to tie them in with things that you believe might be possibilities for you later in life."
Like many of today's Soldiers, Duncan's enlistment included combat. He arrived in France as a combat engineer in 1944, but fighting was so fierce, he was soon pressed into service as an infantryman. His unit, 3rd Battalion, 101st Infantry Regiment, was helping to clear the way for Lt. Gen. George Patton's 3rd Army just prior to the Battle of the Bulge.
"We were put into combat as quickly as they could get us there; so quick, you didn't know the buddy next to you," he said. "I didn't know my officers; the Germans were very good at picking out and eliminating them."
Fighting to liberate Bourgaltroff and Guebling, France, his unit was wiped out nearly three times. He said German machine gunners mowed down men like ducks at a county fair shooting gallery.
"I don't know how many Beethovens, Bachs, scientists and counselors were killed that day," said Duncan who estimated he was one of five or 10 survivors out of hundreds killed.
Barely a week into the fighting, Duncan was carrying a wounded battle buddy out of harm's way when he too was wounded and sent to an Army Field hospital. His brief combat time earned him a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. While under medical care, het met the "Old Man" as Soldiers in the 3rd Army called Patton.
"He came around, I'm almost sure, to find out why the losses ," said Duncan.
He remained in France to recover from his wounds, and in time, became friends with a couple French families that continue today.
When the war ended in Europe, he applied for and was accepted to study at Edinburgh and Aberdeen, Scotland. Following two brief terms, he'd accumulated enough points to return to the United States where he was discharged in April 1946. He then employed a benefit many veterans tapped into.
"I would never be where I am today without the GI Bill," said Duncan, who also studied in China, Scotland, Ireland and Belgium.
Even as he studied for his future, his mind continued to wrestle with the intensity and carnage he witnessed in battle. For the next eight years, he suffered from what today is known as post traumatic stress disorder. Then, he discovered peace within and a way to cope with the images and incidents that still occupied his mind "It's helping other people," he said emphatically.
Initially he thought his cartooning would be his best ticket to make a difference in the world via newspaper editorial pages. Though this proved successful, his combat time compelled him to do more with his life than make money.
He found meaning doing mission work in the Congo and in South Africa where he taught literacy and art.
Education remained a centerpiece of his service to others. He completed master's degrees in anthropology and education, taught college classes at Oklahoma State University for 17 years and finished a doctoral degree in cross cultural communication in South Africa.
Victor Driver is one of the many people Duncan helped along the way as he recruited him to attend Central State University with a personal letter and a phone invitation to visit the art department.
"As a student, I had great respect for without knowing about his life experience in World War II or as a missionary in Africa," said Driver, who refers to his mentor as Dad. "I get to see a man who practices what he believes in: the Golden Rule."
Recently, Duncan's life returned full circle back to France, where, in a sense, events long ago shaped what would become his life's work. Through contacts with French friends, he learned about a program to present the nation's Legion of Honor to World War II service members who aided French efforts to shed the yoke of Nazi tyranny. Duncan sent in paperwork, and returned to France in November to receive his medal.
The ceremony, Nov. 19, included active duty French soldiers, citizens of Guébling and Bourgaltroff, and the commandant of the French army in northeastern France who pinned the medal on him.
"I received that medal on behalf of all who fell the day I was there; it's not about me at all," he said. "Where it should be is with those who have gone before they are the ones who deserve the awards."
Living in a modest, orderly apartment, Duncan is surrounded by manuscripts, cartoons he's drawn and partially completed projects that vie for his attention. At an age when many people sit back and relax, he continues, with Driver's assistance, to look to the future and new ways to help others. Recently, he published a youth novel, "Escape to Macaya," about a teen kidnapped and sold into slavery. That issue caught Duncan's attention and he expects it will keep him busy for however long he has left in his lifetime. (Editor's note:Duncan will visit the Fort Sill Main Exchange, May 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to sign copies of his latest book.) | <urn:uuid:f6e523a3-8eed-4d07-b011-597907839eb1> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.army.mil/article/125648/World_War_II_veteran_shares_life_of_selfless_service/ | 2015-07-08T04:42:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435376073161.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627033433-00301-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989311 | 1,218 | [

The second time around
Friday, July 18, 2008
By Jason Seidling
As it turned out, the media thought more of what Daniel Sepulveda accomplished as a rookie than he did himself.
Every season the local chapter of the Pro Football Writers’ Association presents the “Joe Greene Great Performance Award” to the Steelers’ rookie of the year. Punter Daniel Sepulveda won the award last season after finishing ninth in the NFL in net average (37.9 yards) and eighth in punts inside the 20-yard line (2.
Statistics that lead to winning awards would make most players pleased with their individual performance. However, that was not enough to satisfy Sepulveda’s high expectations for himself.
“I didn’t perform up to my potential, that’s for sure,” Sepulveda said as the Steelers were completing their offseason program. “I just know that I can do better than that. You look at the numbers that we put up at Baylor as a punt team, and those were better than they were here last year.”
Sepulveda’s final statistics might have been less than what he was accustomed to posting, but judging by the numbers, that could have been the result of him hitting the proverbial rookie wall.
During his first eight NFL games, Sepulveda averaged 44.4 yards-per-punt and 38.7 yards in net average. Once the season hit the halfway point, Sepulveda’s numbers dropped to 40.4 yards-per-punt and 37.1 yards in net average.
So then, are there definite statistical barometers that Sepulveda uses to evaluate his own personal performance?
“I don’t really want to quantify it like that, but I know that 42.5 was certainly not the gross that I was looking for,” he said. “We ended up at 37.9 net, which is pretty solid as a rookie, so I was pretty happy with that.”
Another factor that might have made Sepulveda’s transition to the pro game more difficult was the condition of the footballs used in the kicking game by the NFL as compared to those allowed by the NCAA. Sepulveda, however, was not willing to use the balls as an excuse for not meeting his own expectations.
“I don’t think it’s really that hard of a transition to be honest with you,” said Sepulveda. “I still think that you can kick the college ball farther, but if I had a choice I would take the NFL version because it has a little more girth to it and it is a little bit more round.”
Sepulveda, the NCAA record-holder with 94 career punts of 50-plus yards, expects to take a big leap forward during his second NFL season. At Baylor, Sepulveda improved from his freshman to his sophomore seasons, and so he believes that knowing what to expect will help his game.
“People always talk about the improvement that takes place in the second year of a player’s career, and I can definitely understand first-hand why that happens because there is so much to deal with during that first year,” said Sepulveda. “Granted, I still haven’t gone out there and shown that improvement yet, but I can tell you that I feel more comfortable now than I did a year ago.”
That mind-set should make the Steelers feel comfortable about what their young punter can accomplish in 2008, because the last time Sepulveda had a year of experience under his belt he went out and won the first of his two Ray Guy awards as the top punter in the NCAA | <urn:uuid:88867d25-0c07-4bc2-ad2c-f9035ed1699a> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.planetsteelers.com/forums/showthread.php/19272-The-second-time-around?p=262597 | 2015-07-08T05:08:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435376073161.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627033433-00301-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985315 | 804 | [

Luke arrived on Sodor from a neighbouring land (either the Mainland or Ireland). It had always been his dream to come to Sodor and he was very excited to work there. He arrived on Sodor alongside Victor, who at the time was painted yellow and did not speak English. When the ship docked, Luke was so eager to get to work that he begged the workmen to take him off the ship first. However, as he was being unloaded, he accidently bumped into Victor, knocking him off the ship and into the sea. Luke was then taken to the Steamworks to be repaired.
Victor would eventually be recovered and given a permanent home at the Steamworks, but Luke was not aware of this. He believed that Victor had been sent to the Smelters and blamed himself for the accident due to his impatience. When he arrived at the Blue Mountain Quarry, he told the narrow gauge engines about what had happened. The engines feared that, if the Fat and Thin Controllers found out about what Luke had done, they would send him away. As a result, they allowed Luke to stay at the quarry, where he remained hidden from view.
This all changed one day when Thomas was called in to replace Paxton at the quarry after the diesel was in need of repairs. He encountered Luke a few times during his second day there, although the other engines denied knowing anything about him. Eventually, Skarloey relented and told Thomas about Luke, although he refused to explain what Luke had done, and warned Thomas not to tell anyone.
Luke eventually warmed up to Thomas after he saved Skarloey from an accident with Rocky. The two quickly became friends, and Luke finally admitted to Thomas what he had done. Determined to help Luke, Thomas decided to search for the "yellow engine" in Luke's story. He eventually learnt the engine's identity as Victor, and that the chains that had held him to the ship had broken at the time.
Thomas rushed to tell Luke about what he had learnt, but the narrow gauge engines assumed he had told Victor about Luke and that he had broken his promise. As they retreated to the higher levels of the quarry, Thomas desperately tried to follow them, even travelling on the narrow-gauge lines, which resulted in him nearly falling off a cliff. Luke managed to save Thomas and rekindled his friendship, before learning moments later from Victor (who Thomas had asked Paxton to bring to the quarry) the true events of the incident. Realizing that it was only an accident and that Victor had not been scrapped, Luke finally felt happy and was accepted into the narrow gauge fleet by the Thin Controller.
Luke later befriended a young deer which was found at the Blue Mountain Quarry. Knowing that the deer did not belong at the quarry, he released it back into the wild at Ulfstead Castle. He also traded jobs with Millie at Ulfstead Castle.
During Christmas, he had to pull a flatbed with a tree, but he got stuck on a hill and he used up all of his sand. Duncan, who was traveling behind, was annoyed, and when some of the tree hit his face, he complained to Luke. However, when Duncan realised that he had hurt Luke's feelings, he decided to help Luke by pushing him.
Luke is a plucky little pea-green tank engine on the Skarloey Railway, brought to Sodor from a neighbouring land. For a long time, he hid in fear and deep shame in the tunnels and caverns of the Blue Mountain Quarry from a terrible, dark secret, only in the knowledge of the other narrow gauge engines, believing that he had caused a yellow engine to fall into the sea. Fortunately, he befriended and trusted Thomas, who investigated and realised the yellow engine was Victor and that the accident had not been Luke's fault, managing to clear his name. Luke is a gentle, sensitive soul and is bubbling with enthusiasm, keen to work as part of the team. Like many engines, there are times when he may want to run away and be left alone and he may not be quick to stick up for himself either, but when there is someone in need, Luke is passionate about showing how much he values his friends and will bravely heave into action without second thought.
Luke is based on the Kerr Stuart 0-4-0ST Wren Class 4256 built in 1922, with an added closed cab and buffers.
Luke is painted pea green with white lining. His name is painted in white on his tanks and has a plate with his number 22 in brass. He has red buffer beams and silver buffers.

Started: 11th May 2007
Finished: 09th June 2007
Needles: 3 mm / 60 cm Inox circs
Yarn: Rohrspatz & Wollmeise sock yarn, "Drachenblut"
Pattern: Clementine Shawlette by Michele Rose Orne from Interweave KNITS Spring 2007
It's finished! Yup! My Clementine Shawlette and I LOVE it!
Yes, you heard it right. It is for MEEEEEEE! Sure, it can go as a scarf, if I choose to wear it outside, but well, I'd rather have it around my shoulder at home. And no, I don't cross dress...I just like to look at the pretty lace and feel the luxury of great wool and feel proud at something I had created by my own two hands.
I used about 0.75 of the yarn, so I still have a quite a bit left. The pattern said that it should be blocked lightly to the size of 10 3/4" wide and 57 1/4" long. However, I totally blocked it out and I get 13" wide and 71" long....I quite like it blocked out like this. ;-)
*LOL* It seems that my idea wasn't well accepted. But hey, I don't care. Like I said, I'm not about to wear a lace shawl over my shoulders to go outside of my home, but still, I like it. I have to re-iterate again that I do NOT cross dress, so don't even think about anything stupid here.
But just for the sake of it, I'm modelling my Clementine for you guys. ;-)
Not too bad, eh?
WWKIP-Day was on Saturday. Only the KU team was there plus a German girl from
and a friend of mine. Better than nobody, eh?
So, that's all I have to say for now. Have to get back to my studying.
Have a great start to the week! | <urn:uuid:81228cfa-4a41-400c-9a78-a2b7f9ff648d> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.menwhoknit.com/community/node/2578 | 2015-07-01T23:16:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095273.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00241-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975609 | 424 | [

Just because you do not personally agree does not in and of itself make the review 'crappy'. We get that you're disappointed with the review here, but as always, we do encourage everyone to read multiple reviews if possible (thus the link back to Metacritic on every game and review page) before making a decision as to whether or not to make a purchase.

There's a glitch in the cutscene for Chapter 3 where it will freeze if you have 3D on! I was really scared but it worked after turning the 2D off.

If the review would not have so mabny flaws i would not be that upset.
Musou Attacks: "You'll be busting these attacks out all the time, whether you mean to or not, and before long the fun of the combat wears thin." - If you play the game on anything else beside Easy you wont do that. Because at that point you wont mash buttons.
Missions: "If these were required conditions for winning, the game could have been much more challenging and a lot more fun. Sadly though, running around attacking enemies mindlessly until you kill the right one works just as well." - Again if you play on anything besides Easy you will notice that the loss of Moral (and failing Missions will decrease your Moral) can and will kill you. Even to the point where pawns will be a threat to you.
Character: "Most frustrating is the simple task of telling a character where to go. If they encounter any enemy, even non-mission targets, they will stop to take up arms." - This is just wrong. I have seen other Officvers that i told to run to certain location passing up all other opponents.
Conversations: "There are some opportunities to choose responses that will either increase or decrease how much the warlords like you, but these come up infrequently and add little to the actual game" - Having a friendship with a different officer will allow you to use their weapons (and armor?). So they add a lot to the game.
Conclusion: "Sadly though, you can do pretty well in the game by simply running around and mashing the attack button at anything that moves." - You can only get to this conclusion when you only played the game on easy. So the review was done in a difficult mode where you did not have to use the strategic effects of your combos or actully trying to complete missions.If i play SC2 on easy i can also just build up a ball of units and click attack. Then that game would not be a 90s% title as well.
I did not expect a 8,9 or 10. The game got some issues (the game is very difficlut and can lead to many frustrating moments, the camera is not perfect, etc.) and the story might not be interesting for everybody. But the game is no way a five. Personally i would rate it a 7.5. Would i rate it from the fun i am having i would rate it a 9 but that would not be objective.
Thats the main problem i have with the review. It was done by someone who seems to had no interest in the game at all.Let me quote Corbie Dillard from his Super Monkey Ball 3D (A game i would never gave an 8 but i understand the reasoning behind the rating. Got the game as well and that review made me look at the game in a different way.) review: "..but those who can open their minds up to something a bit different might actually find the game a fun and engaging experience."

Yeh it seems random but it seems for everyone who it hit(I saw a topic on Gamefaqs) that turning off 2D solves it so it's not a big deal.
67. Posted: Tue 12th Apr 2011 00:59 BST
Yep it happened to me too Oregano. Could not for the life of me figure out how to get past it until i read that same thread. If the game freezes on anyone at the beginning of chapter 3, slide the 3D off.

Tecmo Koei have sent out a message to let the fans of Samurai Warriors know that the free Samurai Warriors: Chronicles DLC is starting today on the 13th of May. The additional content is available via the Nintendo 3DS SpotPass function.
The DLC being released in the coming weeks will include extra scenarios and StreetPass weapon downloads. This will be happening every Friday for the next 21 weeks which is pretty impressive.
Yay!! Glad I bought this game because its still gonna be a few weeks before we are getting the eShop.

Well the DLC adds a Streetpass Battle to your system. So if the 3DS is flashing blue and you got the message you should check your Battles.

Hey anybody try out the latest DLC. Its quite a nice little Gaiden level, im looking forward to the next lot of downloads...looks like Tecmo are going to be a company to watch on the 3DS because their new release also has DLC coming out for it starting from today, hope this will become a gaming standard with 3DS games.

Perils for Pedestrians
TV talk about people who walk
Sidewalk Placement Two dozen reasons to have a planting strip between the sidewalk and the curb.
Pedestrian Bridges When you need them, when they are a good option, and when they will fail.
Reasons to Retrofit Roads with Sidewalks Two dozen reasons why we like to have sidewalks to walk on.
Sidewalk Obstructions Sidewalks are often treated as unused space, available as a convenient place to put all manner of things, from parked cars to utility poles. But filling a sidewalk with obstructions can be highly detrimental to pedestrians trying to use the sidewalk for its intended purpose. If you stop thinking of sidewalks as an easy place to stick stuff, you can usually think of a better place to put potential obstructions. | <urn:uuid:6425de3d-3fb4-4730-b3c8-1811cb27bad6> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.pedestrian.org/topics.htm | 2015-07-01T23:09:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095273.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00241-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948397 | 170 | [

Early this season, I predicted that the true test of Vernon Macklin would come against Miss St.'s Jarvis Varnado. Today in the O'Connell center, Macklin proved himself numerous times around the rim, scoring 20 points (career-high) and neutralizing the notorious shotblocker Varnado.
Last March in Starkville, the Gators fell to the Bulldogs during the infamous late season collapse. In that game, Varnado posted a double-double and Alex Tyus was dominated on the glass. However, in today's battle, Macklin stood strong, allowing Tyus and Parsons to help out and scoop rebounds.
Coming out of halftime, Macklin scored ten straight points, sending the Gators ahead by around ten points for most of the second half. UF led by 12 with less than two minutes left, but after a few crucial turnovers and State 3-pointers, the lead dwindled to just four. But the Gators were able to make their free-throws and seal the victory, 69-62.
The Gators hustled to loose balls, blocked shots and forced turnovers. But in the first half, UF struggled to score, and I thought Macklin was forcing too many obscenely-difficult sky hooks. He is very good at that shot, but sometimes he may dip into the proverbially well a few too many times. Another step in his development may include a few more varied post maneuvers to create uncertainty in the defense.
The rest of the squad played well. Erving Walker made a few important threes and it seemed like he was able to dribble between Varnado's legs for a few layups. I think Chandler Parsons is playing more aggressively as of late, possibly due to a surge in confidence after his recent late game heroics. I know I can be mildly bipolar about Dan Werner, but today he looked particularly bad, and I saw him walking down the floor numerous times. Of course he hesitated on a few long shots and bricked the front rim on his only deep attempt. I like to see Chandler Parsons starting in his place.
Now the Gators are 17-6 and are 6-3 in conference. While technically still in the SEC east hunt, UF at least stands poised to nab a spot in the NCAA tournament, barring a late season collapse and assuming they can pick up a few more impressive wins.
Another major test occurs this Tuesday in South Carolina, as the Gators will face off against Devan Downey in what has become a heated rivalry as of late. Notice I said Devan Downey and not the Gamecocks, because the guard is scoring more than 40% of USC's points this season.
Game Notes: The fan-favourite ''Mr. Trombone Man'' was not in attendance at this game. If anyone knows his whereabouts, post as a comment. It worried me a bit to not see him out there holding a rubber chicken and dancing to ''You Can Call Me Al''. He's a very large man, the health concerns are rampant.

View Full Version : Help Me!!!!!
Hello, i have a problem:
I have created one object with Maya ver. 5.
After rendering the file, i obtain the file "object.avi".
When i rendereing the scene use alpha channel (mask).
Is it Correct?
After i import the file "object.avi" in Aftre Effect.
In this moment, i must remove background from "object.avi", for
see under the "object.avi" another background.
This is my problem...
People Help Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: Sorry for my English... :p

First of all, *.avi does not support Alpha-Channels.
Second, never render as *.avi, if Maya crashes while rendering in the last frame, everything is gone (file will be corrupt).
Render, if possible again in tga or tif
If You have no possibility, You could make a key (some kind of blue-screen with another colour). Check the help-files and the Effects-menu in AFX. This is only possible if You background has on colour (eg black). Also You would key (or mask) everything which is black in the file, but try it, play with different key-filters and their settings.

Webster is quite right!
If you use MAYA I suggest you render TIF, TGA sequence,both of them support Alpha,and if you wanna some effects, to use the RLA is the best way, it can store both Alpha and Z!
Thank's all for help me!!!
:buttrock: :thumbsup: :applause:
AVI does support alpha channels in the uncompressed format, but I think movie formats like avi, mov, etc aren't the best option when you are dealing with 3D renders for many reasons.
1. Some crash and all your render is gone with the wind
2. You can't stop and resume with minimal loss
3. And many others :)
Tga and Tiff are the most common formats, and the most compatibles ones, if you need or want to do 3D Post Effects in the compositing stage you can use rla or rpf, but I think you have compatibility issues with Maya rla, at least for combustion it happens, I'm not quit sure about Maya2AE pipeline but even if they do happen there is always a workaround.
I hope that helps,
See ya! 8)

Apple's Laptops and desktops could see software performance gains with parallel programming tools built into the company's new operating system, Mac OS X 10.6, which was introduced by the company on Monday.
A number of enhancements allows the OS, code-named Snow Leopard, to tap into the processing power of multiple CPU and graphics processing cores to boost software performance. The OS builds in multiple programming and software tools that divide up tasks for simultaneous execution across the cores.
Snow Leopard is more intelligent than its predecessors in taking advantage of hardware resources available to drive system performance, observers said on Monday. The OS also is better at identifying resources available and can accordingly allocate threads across multiple cores and processors, observers said.
The new tools in Snow Leopard include Grand Central Dispatch, a programming environment that breaks up tasks into multiple threads based on the number of cores and threads available. It also builds in native support for OpenCL, a set of programming tools to develop and manage parallel task execution.
"A lot of Macs will have supercomputers sitting there for free," said Neil Trevett, president of The Khronos Group, the standards organization that defines the specifications for OpenCL.
Video processing in particular could see up to 50 times improved performance on Macs with the new OS, Trevett said. Video decoding could be a lot faster as pixel processing will be distributed across multiple CPU and graphics processing units in a system.
Snow Leopard's evolution is tied to challenges hardware and software makers have faced in the past. The traditional way of boosting application performance on PCs was by cranking up CPU clock speed, said Linley Gwennap, president and principal analyst at The Linley Group. That led to software being written in a sequential mode for execution on a single core, with an increase in clock speed providing the boost in software performance.
Ultimately, cranking up clock speed led to excessive heat dissipation and power consumption, and chip makers like Intel reverted to adding cores to boost performance. That brought a set of new issues to software developers, who faced the challenge of writing applications to take advantage of multiple cores to scale application performance. | <urn:uuid:7839f2e4-171b-46e5-9371-d55eee798f41> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/news/creative-lifestyle/wwdc-2009-how-mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard-boosts-performance-using-multicore-power/ | 2015-07-04T07:03:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096579.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00181-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942267 | 435 | [

Birthplace: Glasgow, Scotland
Location of death: Chatham, England
Cause of death: unspecified
Remains: Buried, Westminster Abbey, London, England
Race or Ethnicity: White
Executive summary: Commander-in-chief of India
Military service: British Army (1808-52, 1854-60)
Colin Campbell, Baron Clyde, a British soldier, was born at Glasgow on the 20th of October 1792. He received his education at the Glasgow high school, and when only sixteen years of age obtained an ensigncy in the 9th foot, through the influence of Colonel Campbell, his maternal uncle. The youthful officer had an early opportunity of engaging in active service. He fought under Arthur Wellesley at Vimiera, took part in the retreat of Sir John Moore, and was present at the battle of Corunna. He shared in all the fighting of the Peninsular campaigns, and was severely wounded while leading a storming-party at the attack on San Sebastian. He was again wounded at the passage of the Bidassoa, and compelled to return to England, when his conspicuous gallantry was rewarded by promotion without purchase. Campbell held a command in the American expedition of 1814; and after the peace of the following year he devoted himself to studying the theoretical branches of his profession. In 1823 he quelled the negro insurrection in Demerara, and two years later obtained his majority by purchase. In 1832 he became lieutenant-colonel of the 98th foot, and with that regiment rendered distinguished service in the Chinese War of 1842. Campbell was next employed in the Sikh War of 1848-49, under Lord Gough. At Chillianwalla, where he was wounded, and at the decisive victory of Gujrat, his skill and valor largely contributed to the success of the British arms; and his "steady coolness and military precision" were highly praised in official despatches. He was made a K.C.B. in 1849, and specially named in the thanks of parliament.
After rendering important services in India Sir Colin Campbell returned home in 1853. Next year the Crimean War broke out, and he accepted the command of the Highland brigade, which formed part of the Duke of Cambridge's division. The brigade and its leader distinguished themselves very greatly at the Alma; and with his "thin red line" of Highlanders he repulsed the Russian attack on Balaklava. At the close of the war Sir Colin was promoted to be knight grand cross of the Bath, and elected honorary D.C.L. of Oxford. His military services, however, had as yet met with tardy recognition; but, when the crisis came, his true worth was appreciated. The outbreak of the Indian Mutiny called for a general of tried experience; and on the 11th of July 1857 the command was offered to him by Lord Palmerston. On being asked when he would be ready to set out, the veteran replied, "Within twenty-four hours." He was as good as his word; he left England the next evening, and reached Calcutta on the 13th of August. After spending upwards of two months in the capital to organize his resources, he started for the front on the 27th of October, and on the 17th of November relieved Lucknow for the second time. Sir Colin, however, considered Lucknow a false position, and once more abandoned it to the rebels, retaking it in March 1858. He continued in charge of the operations in Oudh until the embers of the revolt had died away. For these services he was raised to the peerage, in 1858, as Lord Clyde; and, returning to England in the next year, he received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament and a pension of £2000 a year. He died on the 14th of August 1863.
Though not a great general, and lacking in the dash which won England so many victories in India, Lord Clyde was at once a brave soldier and a careful and prudent leader. The soldiers whom he led were devotedly attached to him; and his courteous demeanor and manly independence of character won him unvarying respect.
Father: John MacLiver (carpenter)
Mother: Agnes Campbell
High School: Glasgow High School, Glasgow, Scotland
Knight of the British Empire 1849

Google has made all Play Store-equipped Android devices running Gingerbread or higher more secure by making the malware scanner feature a part of Google Play Services, an app that is installed automatically on all Android 2.3+ devices.
One of Android’s features is both a boon and a huge liability for the OS – the ability to install apps manually off Google’s official app store gives people access to content from third-party stores and gives them a free hand to install any app they want, but it also opens access to the world of pirated apps and, in many cases, a way for malicious code to make its way into a user’s device.
To take care of this liability, Google introduced a malware scanner in Android 4.2 to scan an app’s APK that a user may try to manually install. But it didn’t really help those who were on Android 4.1 and below (constituting more than 90 percent of the OS’ users), so Google has smartly pulled the scanner feature out of the OS and shifted it into its Google Play Services app.
Google Play Services is a companion service of the Play Store (you know, the official Android app store) and is installed on every device running Android 2.3 Gingerbread or higher. Ever noticed that “Google Settings” app on your device? Open it up and you’ll see a “Verify apps” option at the very end, which will step in every time you try to install an APK file off your device’s storage or from a third-party store, though you can decide whether you want to use it after the first time the system kicks in.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you should let your guard down and be any less concerned about verifying which apps you install and where you gain access to them, especially considering Google’s scanner has been found to be a bit lacking in its rate of detection in the past. But you can rest assured that even if you might not be enjoying the latest iteration of Android, Google has your back with at least some semblance of protection against malicious code, which should go a long way in alleviating concerns about Android’s oft-criticized security model.

DENVER – There is a new TV documentary that features the Colorado Rockies and a very unlikely guest.
World renown animal behavioral biologist Marc Bekoff of Boulder was asked by Major League Baseball to study the team's relief pitchers. He was as surprised as anyone.
Bekoff spent time with the Rockies pitchers in the clubhouse and bullpen and interviewed closer LaTroy Hawkins personally.
He watched what they did, made notes of their actions and used his expertise to compare the pitchers' behaviors to that of some wild animals.
Believe it or not, Bekoff says there are many similarities.
He says the relief pitchers are similar to packs, and there is a leader.
In the Rockies case, that is Hawkins. Bekoff said it's usually the closer. When he talks, the other pitchers listen.
Bekoff says watching him with the other pitchers reminded him of how "high ranking animals ... often express their status without threatening or fighting and are the main focus of attention."
The researcher says pitchers are understandably anxious before going into a game and will sometimes fidget and pace to get rid of anxiety. Wild animals often do similar things when anxious.
He also noticed that baseball players will take part in rituals, especially when warming up. Wolves, coyotes and other animals also have rituals.
Bekoff says despite their horrible record this season, the Rockies pitchers are talented, professional and care a lot about what they do on the field.
More of his study will be featured in a sports special on FOX Sports 1 called "Closer Kingdom."
It runs Saturday Aug. 9 at 11:30 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Steinsieker is a calcium mineral water product that is made and bottled by Brohler Mineral- und Heilbrunnen GmbH/Brunnenbetrieb Steinsiek, and exported worldwide by A.R.Engel GmbH.
Dr. Ralph R. Engel, managing director at A.R. Engel GmBh, told FoodNavigator that the Middle East is a ripe market for this calcium mineral water given the high incidence of osteoporosis in the region.
According to Engel, in Germany, Steinsieker is recommended by doctors as part of the treatment for osteoporosis and counts the healthcare sector in the country and parts of Europe as its main markets.
“Calcium is an essential mineral that is recommended for intake by doctors in food or drink and not by tablets. Steinsieker has 620 mg of natural calcium per bottle. It is also slightly carbonated, which gives it a refreshing taste,” he said.
Steinsieker has been available in the Middle East since last year, where Engel says there is a massive problem with osteoporosis.
“It is one of the top 10 diseases worldwide and particularly wide-spread in the Middle East,” said Engel.
“In Kuwait, for example, 40% of the population above 50 has osteoporosis,” said Engel, pointing out that even though it’s widespread, osteoporosis is a silent disease because most people don’t report it till there is bone loss or fracture.
"Calcium content in the bones increases naturally till age 13. After that, for bone stability and strength, you need vitamin D and calcium from the outside. You get vitamin D from the sun, but most women in the Middle East are veiled, while the men are in offices or cars. This makes the disease so dangerous and widespread," he said.
Data from the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) backs Engel up. The foundation considers osteoporosis a “neglected” disease in the Middle East.
According to its research, in Egypt alone, more than 80% of women have osteoporosis or osteopenia (pre-osteoporosis), while in Turkey, nearly 65% of men and women 65 years old or older have osteoporosis.
The IOF also pointed out that one of the greatest predictors of osteoporosis and fractures is age, and the population in Middle Eastern countries is getting older.
By 2020, up to nearly 25% of the population in some countries will be over 50 years old, which will grow to up to 40% by 2050. Countries with the highest rate of hip fractures include the UAE, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.
“We now hope to target the healthcare sector [pharmacies and hospitals] in the Middle East. We are working with hospitals here as people need to be educated about calcium mineral water and its benefits,” said Engel, revealing that the firm is already working with osteoporosis societies in Jordan and the UAE for this.
“And the best education comes from the doctor’s recommendation,” he added. | <urn:uuid:93ef6857-5d2f-4e75-a0a0-f50f2c9e55d4> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.nutraingredients.com/Markets-and-Trends/Religion-weather-and-age-The-Middle-East-and-its-calcium-problem | 2015-07-06T04:56:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098059.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00121-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941882 | 679 | [

Unify your garden with a color scheme
Like many of us, Ann Elias likes planting and decorating with galvanized containers in her garden and came up with a unique way to combine her favorite color, aqua,… and galvanized grey. Stripes!
Anyone who visits Ann Elias’s garden will know right away her favorite color. Teal blue Cool teal, aqua or turquoise make great accent colors for a garden because there are no aqua flowers, so every flower color is vibrant and contrasting next to it.
Once you get bitten, there’s no cure when you begin collecting galvanized containers. Any metal just lasts so long in the garden,..making it very practical. Then the cool neutral color and rough nubby texture fit our vintage style and go well with any flower. Some of us still have galvanized containers our ancestors used.
A theme running through the garden is Ann’s galvanized tubs, all painted with teal blue stripes and lettering. She masked off the area on either side of where the stripe is to go and brushed on the paint. She used Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint in ‘Provence.’
Unify the garden with a color scheme
- Red and turquoise
- Rust and Cobalt blue
- Purple and yellow
- Dark blue and turquoise
Ann says, “I just like that way it ties all my different tubs and trash cans together, giving them the same colored stripes it becomes more of a collection then just random tubs.”
Ann put ‘feet’ on some of the tubs for in front of her garden cottage and more mounted on furniture legs.
Ann arranges the tubs on either side of her garden room, at the garden gate and in her amazing butterfly garden, below. See “Ann’s butterfly garden extraordinaire”
Other colors schemes for flowers in the garden
- Red, Blue, yellow orange
- Falu red, chartruese, like Ann’s tubs above
- White,…all white! A Moon garden
- Pink, lavender, pale yellow
- Green,…all green! Foliage and green and white flowers
So,…what’s YOUR favorite color for garden accents? What is your flower color scheme,…any favorites? | <urn:uuid:bde0f2e9-6bd8-4dbb-99e9-83ec3a222136> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.fleamarketgardening.org/2016/03/19/garden-color-painting-galvanized-tubs/ | 2016-10-20T21:19:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988717954.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183837-00114-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.8901 | 494 | [

It’s already on the calendar.
Saint Nicholas is poised to drop by area schools Friday, Dec. 5, and distribute a bright backpack full of gifts to each student. He’s chosen the schools at which 95 percent of the children come from families poor enough to qualify for free lunches, just to make sure they get a Christmas.
Over 12 years, he’s delivered 40,000 such backpacks, some to schools in the Northwest. So this should be easy.
Only this year, there’s a problem.
Due to the economic downturn, Saint Nicholas’ helper — in this case, the Volunteer Center of Southern Arizona — says it may not come up with enough money to buy all 3,600 backpacks that are required.
Children may not acquire sparkly eyes on the morning of Dec. 5 when they step into their classrooms. They may not find toys, books and toothbrushes in new backpacks on their desks.
For this reason, the volunteer center is asking for help. The cost to sponsor a child is $25. A classroom sponsorship is $750. A grade sponsorship is $1,250. Those who really want to help Saint Nick can sponsor a school for $5,000.
Donations, which are tax-deductible, should be sent to the volunteer center at 924 N. Alvernon Way, Tucson, AZ, 85711.

11 Drafts of the Most Famous Phrase from 'The Little Prince'
Estate of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry // Photography by Graham S. Haber, 2013 // Courtesy of the Morgan
Fans of Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's novella about a pilot who crashes in the desert, where he encounters a young boy from distant planet B-612, can likely recite the book's most famous line, spoken by a fox to the boy, by heart: "What is essential is invisible to the eye." But Saint-Exupéry, who wrote the novel while in exile in New York City after the outbreak of World War II, didn't come by the phrase easily.
The manuscript of Le Petit Prince, which was acquired by the Morgan Library & Museum in 1968 and displayed at an exhibition there earlier this year, shows that he played around quite a bit with his most famous book's most famous line—and with the rest of the story, as well. "Saint-Exupéry was always revising and refining," says Christine Nelson, Drue Heinz Curator of Literary and Historical Manuscripts at the Morgan. "The Morgan manuscript reveals that he had a clear sense of the overall shape and tone of the story, but he rewrote and honed individual sentences and episodes. There's no way to know for sure why he made certain creative decisions—such as the final formulation of the 'essential' line—but we can see that certain versions read more gracefully."
Could you imagine the fox saying "Ce qui compte est toujours invisible" (What matters is always invisible) or "Le plus important est invisible" (What is most important is invisible)? Saint-Exupéry tried both of those, and many more. Nelson shared 11 other phrases that the author tried before finally choosing "l’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.”
1. Mais ce qui compte est invisible.
"But what matters is invisible."
2. Mais l’essentiel est toujours invisible.
"But what is essential is always invisible."
3. Ce qui est important est toujours invisible.
"What is important is always invisible."
4. Le plus important demeure invisible.
"What is most important remains invisible."
5. Ce qui est important ça ne se voit pas.
"What is important cannot be seen."
6. Ce qui compte ne se voit pas.
"What matters cannot be seen."
7. Ce qui est tellement joli n’est pas pour les yeux.
"Something that lovely is not for the eyes."
8. Ce qui est important, ça ne se voit pas.
"What is important, that cannot be seen."
9. Ce qui se voit ça ne compte pas.
"What can be seen does not matter."
10. L’important est toujours ailleurs.
"What is important is always somewhere else."
11. Ce qui est le plus important c’est ce qui ne se voit pas.
"What is most important is that which cannot be seen."
Saint-Exupéry finished The Little Prince in October 1942; it was published in the United States in early 1943, just as the author and pilot left the country to rejoin his squadron in Algiers. He gave the heavily edited manuscript to his friend Silvia Hamilton, whose black poodle had served as the model for the book's sheep (Saint-Exupéry also drew The Little Prince's illustrations).
Sadly, Saint-Exupéry didn't live to see what would become his most famous work published in his native country. He disappeared in July 1944 while performing a solo reconnaissance flight in a P-38 Lightning; his ID bracelet was brought up in a fisherman's net off the coast of Marseille in 1998. | <urn:uuid:476a0032-39c4-45fa-9203-14d3ddfba5ee> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://mentalfloss.com/article/57198/11-drafts-most-famous-phrase-little-prince | 2016-10-22T07:02:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718840.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00176-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.900798 | 838 | [

KCwrote a review of Feedback Sports Pro Classic Bicycle Repair Stand on May 30, 2009
Nice bike stand!
It's sturdy for both road and mountain bikes.
Fully rotational bike positioning. Easy adjustments for height, swivel with quick release. Bike/Seatpost clamp easily adjustable with a large knob.
Nice anodized red. I wish I had gotten the Elite model for the storage bag. Would leave it open if I had room.
No packinging. Just came in a shipping box. Mine was damaged where the clamp fold rubbed the quick release. Wore off the paint and indented the underside of the clamp arm.
Packaging for shipping is poor. To much of a hassle to exchange. Product is outstanding. Still lovin' it. | <urn:uuid:e9dd8b3c-31f6-456a-90dd-b762f23e41b8> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.competitivecyclist.com/profile/KC/295888 | 2016-10-22T07:21:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718840.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00176-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956081 | 160 | [

The company spent this year's E3 cycling media in and out of its small meeting room on the second floor of the convention center, dimming the lights and showing off just what Unreal Engine 4 has to offer -- or at least a pretty good idea of what it will offer when it's finally ready for prime time. It's clear from the excitement on the Epic employees' faces that all involved are relieved to finally show the demo off for gatherings of eager writers. No surprise there, of course. After all, the engine has been in development in some form or other for eight or nine years -- several lifetimes in the roman candle-like world of video game development.
"[Epic founder Tim Sweeney] started looking into different programming languages and where the whitepapers were going," Willard tells me, describing Unreal Engine 4's infancy. "Stuff that wasn't necessarily being used for development yet, but trying to envision where hardware was starting to go and starting to make deep-level tech decisions." It's a mind boggling proposition -- beginning development on an underlying technology for games that will run on systems debuting a decade or so after the fact.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest gave an exhaustive explanation on the concept of communitization with reference to the health sector.
Pointing out that the new building was now the property of the community, he asked them to maintain it properly and utilize the facilities to the optimum.
He also called upon the staff posted at the sub-centre to be sincere and regular and carry out their duties with dedication and also highlighted the role of the community in creating favourable conditions for the staffs to stay at their posting places.

Having exotic birds comes with its difficulties. For example, finding a reliable avian-certified veterinarian within an hour of us has been an up-hill battle. This weekend brought to light another difficulty with these creatures - what do you do when the power is out?
We were one of the many who lost power Sunday morning. As we realized that the power was not going to be back on soon (you actually heard the transformer blow when the electricity went off and flickered on briefly an hour later!), we decided that the best plan would be to find a generator for a portable heater. Well, everyone had that game plan, although I doubt most had parrots at home!
We were unable to find a generator under $800, as most people lost their power earlier in the morning than we did. We went to three Home Depots and one Lowe's with no luck - an older gentlemen had grabbed the last one as we entered the Home Depot across the river; he probably needed it more than us! We ended up home and forced to decide whether we were going to drive an hour and a half to my mother-in-law's house, or if we were going to tough it out.
We did have a kerosene heater that my husband heated and brought indoors for a couple hours and we closed all curtains and doors to the colder rooms. I threw a comforter over the cages also. We did open the front door (which is away from the birds) occasionally to allow for ventilation.
We were nervous about keeping the kerosene heater indoors for too long and did end up deciding to make the trip to Gaithersburg. Packing up our feathered guys is no picnic though! Three large cages, two carriers, food, perches and toys filled up our car - in addition to the dog things! We humans had two small bags and a laptop.
Based on my knowledge of parrots, we knew that they would not be able to withstand a dramatic temperature drop. I don't know how cold it could get before the birds would be affected, but I wasn't taking any chances! If anyone knows, please share in the comments below. I've never read anything that defines a certain temperature where they would start to be affected.
As of now, we made the trip back up with the dogs and left the birds with their Grandma. Our heat is back on, so we'll have to go back down tonight to pick them up!
I do think for future emergencies, we will need to get a generator wired to our heating system. Our family is a bit of a special case since we have such sensitive creatures in it!

The Zagat Walt Disney World Insider's Guide is new for 2007 and features reviews of restaurants and attractions around the Walt Disney World complex in Oranado, Florida.
It is organized well into attractions, dining, nightlife, shopping, and hotels. Each location has its own paragraph with several averaged number ratings that range from 1-30 and then a brief description which features many quotes from those they have surveyed. The descriptions are hard to read because of the way things are peiced together from quotes. I don't feel they do a good job describing what to expect and it seems as though everything has a disclaimer quote at the end so it would be hard to make a decision based on the book alone. A better choice for a guide would be the Birnbaums or the Unofficial Guide.
One more thing - it is a handy sized guide, but I won't be taking it with me or purchasing next years. | <urn:uuid:02749d47-2031-441c-9d50-f64f713ee778> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://sharedreviews.com/review/zagats-walt-disney-world-insiders-guide | 2016-10-24T14:13:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719638.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00300-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972836 | 188 | [

When Nephi, the son of Helaman, departed out of the land of Zarahemla in the New World, he charged his son Nephi with the safekeeping of the plates of brass and all other records and sacred things that had been kept since father Lehi left Jerusalem 600 years before. The younger Nephi was also to continue the records of his fathers.
Then in the “ninety and second year, behold, the prophecies of the prophets began to be fulfilled more fully.”
But in spite of the “greater signs and greater miracles wrought among the people,” there were many unbelievers and faithless ones who persecuted those who were righteous. They set a time when “all those who believed [would] be put to death except the sign [no darkness when the sun went down] should come to pass, which had been given by Samuel the prophet.”
Hearing of the evildoers’ plans against the believers, Nephi “cried mightily unto the Lord, all the day; and behold, the voice of the Lord [Jesus Christ] came unto him, saying:
“Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, … on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfill all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets.
“Behold, I come unto my own, to fulfill all things which I have made known unto the children of men from the foundation of the world, and to do the will, both of the Father and of the Son.”
And it was true as Jesus had declared, for “it came to pass that there was no darkness in all that night, but it was as light as though it was mid-day. And it came to pass that the sun did rise in the morning again, according to its proper order.”
Now the people knew of a surety that the Lord Jesus Christ had been born, to live and teach among men on the earth.
“Yea, all things, every whit, according to the words of the prophets” came true.
“And it came to pass also that a new star did appear [later in the heavens], according to the word.” | <urn:uuid:2511d976-2f6d-48fb-9548-b805ca33276a> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.lds.org/friend/1979/12/a-prophecy-come-true?lang=eng | 2016-10-24T15:33:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719638.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00300-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983352 | 494 | [

There is much talk about Femara today based on studies by the Univ. of Edingurgh in Scotland. (There it is called by it's generic name Letrozole).
Femara or Letrozole will only work in certain ovarian cancer patients who are oestrogen receptor (ER) sensitive. The study shows about a 3 year survival time and those who were highly sensitive to oestrogen even had responses.
One of the articles I read said the response rate was in the 20's (I think 26%), which is higher than some chemos.
Of course clinical trials need to be conducted to finalized this initial research.
I agree! :) I think everyone's idea of a cure is for the cancer to be gone forever and the FDA's is 5 year remission...I think we are close to both.
I think megestrol is another one used for appetite but is also hormonal and can be used for ovca (and others). Then you have Phenoxodil which is an analog of soy isoflavone genistein that chemosensitizes. They are working on one from DIM (early stages) (both Genistien and DIM/I3C have been shown by UCLA to halt ovca in it's tracks...well at least in vitro). Then we have the vaccines coming out in Australia and also out here.
I like your research reports too...it's good to show everyone the different options!
Great article. This confirms what Melody is doing! How do you check for oestrogen? I have a blood test with a ACAM doctor to go over Estradiol, Estrone, Estroil. I guess maybe this is the way to check. My blood test will be with the thyroid and I do it in 3 weeks (had to raise the thyroid just a little). So I'll let everyone know.
Why is it that our oncologists are not checking all these hormones? I will ask my oncologist with my next appointment. And take this article!
Also when you get neupogen, is that a growth hormone? How does that affect our bad estrogen? Maybe not at all but I am curious.
I read about this in my UK newspaper this last week. Apparently they have so far used it with a group of women at advanced stages focussing on stopping or holding up progression but are now going to try it at earlier stages to see if it can prevent recurrence. I don't understand about the non-testing of estrogen response more as a matter or course either - is it because all of these drugs are still at the trial stages and not out for general use as yet? There is so much happening with research that I can't keep up with it all and on past experiences so many hopeful things have just disapppeared after initial publicity. Let's hope there is more substance now in the discoveries. Jenny
Can you help? My mum has just completed chemotherapy for the second time for ovarian cancer. There is evidence of a tumor still there and she has awful symtoms from chemotherapy.
I have been reading all about Letrozole but understand it won't be available in this country for a no. of years. I have seen it available in american websites which ask for a prescription. Do you think I can purchase this if I get approval from a GP in Britain?
Yes roaches. And I've always called it the invader. I remember awhile ago there was an Atlanta oncologist (in the news a few years ago) that gave his patients pesticides.
Yes, my hospital has the specimen. I was in the process of getting into a clinical trial last March at MD Anderson using hyperthermia, 5FU, and Interferon. I was declined (after I sent them everything). It was the brain. But they should have told me that in the beginning as I was told it was alright.
Hoping and praying your mom is doing good. Your website is great.
Helen, Jatoo is right. It is so important to make sure if you want your cancer tested from pathology (or better yet saved), the time to do it is prior to surgery...yet many don't know to ask for this. Typically the hospital (or whomever does their pathology) *should* retain the specimens.
I have no idea about this company, I just ran across them on the web recently...perhaps they can do it if they can't locally:
I agree with Jatoo on the hormonal route...even if if you are not oestrogen receptive, there should still be some effect. The thing is with OvCa, these little buggers are like roaches, they adapt and adapt....but there is always something that kills them (i.e. stompping your foot on 'em!)...we just have to find that 'combination' that works all the time.
There are also the natural routes, the 'phytoestrogens', like in the article I recently wrote on Genistein. This is also what Phenoxodiol is based off of.
Ovarian Cancer Research Website
Yes, they did that automatically at NYU with my brain tumor. It was progesterone-positive. But when they did a biopsy on a lymph node in my breast at NYU it wasn't estrogen or progesterone positive. But I don't think it was ever done with the original surgery at North Shore. Anyway I am interested in the circulating hormones in my body now. (I wish I knew them before I got this cancer) I am sure they were too high in the bad estrogen and too low in progesterone. So much to know. In a few weeks when I see my gyn/onc I'll approach him on the Femara.
OMG...are you serious, pesticides? The sad part is I believe it!
I saw something on pubmed about 5FU and lentinan (used in Japan) for ovarian cancer ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=2768975&dopt=Abstract ) where it worked. It's too bad that our FDA won't allow IV lentinan over here (perhaps there is no big money in it, who knows).
Hello there - I think letrozole, which is known commercially as Femara, may well have been approved by NICE for use in breast cancer cases already. The crucial point is whether NICE will now approve it for ovca now that the Edinburgh team have had some success, given that it has already gone through the clinical trials process. I'm going to out patients tomorrow in London and intend to ask about this - I'll let you know the outcome. It's not terribly expensive - well, not compared with other chemo drugs, and I have also been thinking about my GP for the prescription if all else fails. Jenny

ALL ABOUT EVE. Tucson reaffirms its status as southern Arizona's party hub with a raucous, ornery, and occasionally elegant smorgasbord of New Year's Eve parties.
Here are just a few highlights:
The Tucson Symphony Women's Association and the Arizona Opera League of Tucson will host Spotlight '99, their New Year's Eve Gala Dinner Dance. At this black-tie-optional soirée, guests will enjoy "mingling, dining and dancing on-stage with the beautiful sets of the opera Die Fledermaus." Music will be provided by the Homero Cerón Quartet.

Trail Dust Town presents A Cowboy's New Year's Eve, a little boot-kicker of an event featuring musical legends The Desert Sons, special guests Tom Chambers and Jorge Bejarano, and cowboy poetry by Jon Richins. That's in addition to an open western jam session. Party time here is 6:30 p.m. Trail Dust Town is located at 6541 E. Tanque Verde Road. Advance tickets are $20, and include dinner, champagne and the jam session. You can get them in advance at Pinnacle Peak and El Corral restaurants, or at the Trail Dust Town offices. Tickets are $22 at the door, $5 for the jam only. Call 296-4551 for details.
For a more participatory experience, dance your way into 1999 with the Tucson Friends of Traditional Music, the hosts of another New Year's Eve Contra Dance. These folks will cut the rug on one of the best dance floors in town, with top-roster talent accompanying them with live music and experienced callers. They'll also provide munchies and a cider toast at the bewitching hour. The dance runs from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in the Temple of Music and Art Cabaret Theatre, 330 S. Scott Ave. Admission is $6, $5 for TFTM members. Call 327-1779 for information.
Tucson's favorite hometown success story, the Mollys, fire up a semi-traditional transition with a wild New Year's Eve bash in the Boondocks Lounge, 3306 N. First Ave. The party starts with a buffet at 6:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $10 and include the buffet, champagne and party favors. They're available by calling 690-0991. Tickets will be $12 at the door.
Club Congress rings in the New Year with its biggest indoor bash ever, under the banner of Congress Royale '99. This gambling blast will include musical sensations The Zsa-Zsas as well as several high-rolling motifs, including the Monte Carlo Lounge, Copacabana Ballroom, The Orient, and much more. Plan for early arrival at 8 p.m. in the Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress St. Tickets are $15, and include a champagne toast. Formal attire is preferred. For information, call 622-8848.
POWWOW PARTY. Get some fresh air and welcome 1999 at the annual New Year's Competition Powwow and Indian Craft Market, sponsored by the North American Indian Information and Trade Center. The colorful scene will bustle with dancers from more than 50 tribes, with a wide range of handmade crafts and traditional Indian foods.
Apache hoop dancer John Sneezy is slated to attend, along with the Aztec traditional dancers from Mexico, the Jeddito Public School Dancers and Drum, and Hopi flute player Ernie Northrup. As always, there will be plenty of good food.
The event runs from 4 to 10 p.m. today, noon to 10 p.m. tomorrow,
and noon to
ANOTHER TAKE. The Barbea Williams Performing Company provides another holiday perspective with Kwanzaa: Mask Folklore with Dance, Song and Story.
In recognition of the holiday, Williams and her troupe will present a performance using Kwanzaa songs, symbols, rituals and principles intertwined with traditional folk tales. The production will include masks designed by Roosevelt Smith, and will feature Eno Washington and Tariq Rasool.
Performances are 8 tonight, 3 and 8 p.m. tomorrow, and 3 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, in the Tucson Center for Performing Arts, 408 S. Sixth Ave. Advance tickets are $10, $8 for students and seniors, $5 for children under age 12, and available at Al's Barber Shop, Antigone Books, Hair on Wheels, and Rainbow Accessories, or by calling 298-4772.

MUSICAL CREATURES. The Tucson Symphony Orchestra brings neighborhood critters to life in the latest Just for Kids concert. The program will feature "A Stray Cat Asleep on the Roof in the Spring Rain," "The Swan," and "Three Blind Mice." The audience will be invited to participate in some songs.
Free performances are 10 and 11:15 a.m. in the Tucson Center for the Performing Arts, 408 S. Sixth Ave. For information, call 792-9155.
GREAT DIGS. Located only a mile away from the Sabino Canyon Visitor's Center, the Sabino Canyon Ruin was a vibrant village of Hohokam Indians--ancestors of the modern Pima and Tohono O'odham Indians--between A.D. 1000 and 1350. The Old Pueblo Archaeology Center has been busy uncovering the site, and so far has revealed pottery, stone, bone and seashell artifacts, along with prehistoric pit houses, ancient canals, even a dog burial.
Now you can get in on this earthy action when the center hosts guided tours and dig sessions at the site today, and on Saturday, January 16. Tours begin at 9 a.m. The cost is $10, $2 for children ages 12 and under. The digs run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and cost $35 per day, or $50 for both Saturdays. For reservations, directions and other information, call 798-1201.
MAJOR PIPES. Frederick Swann is the organist in residence at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, where he plays one of the largest pipe organs in the world.
Now he brings that big-city talent to Tucson for a performance in Grace St. Paul's Episcopal Church--home to southern Arizona's largest pipe organ. The recital will present a wide range of traditional and 20th-century Christmas and Epiphany music.
The performance is 7:30 p.m. in Grace St. Paul's, 2331 E. Adams St. Admission is $7. For details, call 327-6857.
VINTAGE VIEW. Forget Target, Wal-Mart and all the rest, and take a gander at some little things with lasting integrity. Scads of them will be on the block when Pima County Parks and Recreation hosts another antique fair.
The fair runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Tanque Verde Center, 2300 N. Tanque Verde Loop Road. Admission is free. Call 740-2680 for information.
STREET SCENES. There's no doubt that North Fourth Avenue holds plenty of creative fodder for the artistic mind. Now the Tucson General Store Gallery taps into that picture with Visions On or Of the Avenue.
Local artists with plenty of avenue experience contributed to the exhibit, with the common theme of interpreting, defining and suggesting the artist's interaction with the funky thoroughfare. That talented roster includes Lisa Blanton, Kristi Spillman, Kurt Tallis, Matt Foote, Texas Probate and Lucas Cammack.
The exhibit runs through January 15 in the Tucson General Store Gallery, 415 N. Fourth Ave. Hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Call 882-0085 for details.
URBAN SERENITY. Connie Mayhew is a staffer at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. On weekends, it's her job to stand behind the gift shop register and chat with visitors, ring up sales, and hand out maps and juicy tidbits of flora-related information.
She calls the gardens one of the most charming spots in Tucson. "There are a lot of private little nooks and crannies," she says. "Folks just like to sit out there on the benches for a little lunch. Lots of times we'll see cute couples all over the place."
The mood is enhanced by delicate herb gardens, carpets of purple heart of Mexico stretching alongside the stone path, carefully tended earthen walkways, and the tropical exhibit. The sensory garden is filled with aromatic, fascinating plants that'll fire up your sense of smell and touch.
And there's an added bonus: At 9 a.m. every Tuesday, TBG offers Birds and Gardening Tours. These 45-minute outings explore the plants and gardening practices that will attract birds to your backyard.
The Tucson Botanical Gardens are at 2150 N. Alvernon Way. Regular hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Admission is $4, $3 for seniors, and free for members and children under age 12. Call 326-9686 for details.
PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE. As an artist, Gary Swimmer focuses on merging themes of beauty, awkwardness, imperfection and the complexity of form. His paintings become balancing acts of abstract expression and formalist concerns. Those perspectives are display in New Paintings: Abstractions on an Intimate Scale, now showing in the Dinnerware Contemporary Art Gallery.
With this exhibit, Swimmer presents a new body of small works, contemporary abstraction which taps a rich variety of color, mark-making and form.
Abstractions on an Intimate Scale continues through January 29, with an opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, January 16, in the Dinnerware Gallery, 135 E. Congress St. Regular gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 7 p.m. Thursday during the weekly downtown Art Walk. For information, call 792-4503.
WALLED WORLD. Since the days of the Hohokam people, Sabino Creek has been a hub of local life. It flows past forested hillsides, gathering in smooth-rock pools where prickly-pear cactus spread their pads towards the sun, and hikers pause to enjoy hawks swirling slowly overhead.
Adding to its draw are rides on the moonlight shuttles traveling up the canyon. "The canyon definitely looks different at night," says shuttle operator Don Ricketts. "How much you can see varies with how full the moon is. (Depending on the time of year) we see a lot of nocturnal animals crossing the road, everything from tarantulas to coyotes. And it's just awfully pretty up here."

So spectacular and anticipated a cinematic event, that these movie billboard don't even need a film title or a Harry Potter thunderbolt logo for people to know what they are about. Let's face it, if you've stuck with Harry this far through all eight movies, you know this is where it all ends.
Warner Bros. Studios made such a good decision to split the final book, The Deathly Hallows, into two parts, as not only do they cash in on the blockbuster movies, but we get to enjoy two sets of billboards.
Be sure to check out the fantastic billboards for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part one.
These dramatic new billboards for the final installment, featuring Harry, Ron, Hermione and Voldemort, were snapped along La Cienega Boulevard, Beverly Boulevard and Melrose Avenue on June 21, 2011.
This larger creative featuring the three friends who've experienced so much together was photographed along Vine Street at Sunset Boulevard on June 23, 2011.
It's the end of an era, let's hope the movie goes out with a bang.
UPDATED: Here's another fantastic billboard for Deathly Hallows Part two also spied at Sunset & Vine in Hollywood on June 28, 2011.
UPDATED: On a recent visit to New York City, Daily Billboard snapped this giant billboard for the Blu-ray release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, near Soho in Manhattan on November 7, 2011. | <urn:uuid:c3d539fc-adad-4f06-a8e1-61d429583a64> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.dailybillboardblog.com/2011/06/movie-week-harry-potter-it-all-ends.html | 2016-10-26T17:07:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720967.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00424-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936086 | 299 | [

Here's a great one from former UK Chancellor Alistair Darling.
When we first saw those headlines last week about Goldman Sachs and its office bugs, we immediately thought that President Obama may have done a Nixon, and that the ghost of J.

"The striding second movement theme is splendidly realised and relished with Monika Leonhard, a pupil of Alfred Brendel, enjoying every bar on its return during the finale. The cellist Klaus Kanngiesser and the violinist Rainer Kussmaul are no less compelling."
"Those unfamiliar with the extraordinary Naxos label should hear what they've been missing---this Schubert disc is, to my knowledge, the best place to start. For about seven bucks, you can have this absolutely brilliant performance, recorded in equally superb sound. The Stuttgart Piano Trio is technically flawless, occasionally breathtaking. They play with intelligence, joy, and respectful understatement. The tone colors are captured in extraordinary fidelity, and the ambience is entirely realistic, without bloating in the lower ranges." | <urn:uuid:aba3f3d5-f32f-45a5-886d-9ecb80eed6d6> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.naxos.com/reviews/reviewslist.asp?catalogueid=8.550132&languageid=EN | 2016-10-26T18:28:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720967.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00424-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.929485 | 166 | [

On this global day of debt action, OWS had what most people involved thought was one of the best days of action for a while, in terms of targets hit, lots of funs and no arrests:) Oh, and two banner drops at Columbus Circle and Rockefeller Center and a fun afterparty at Times Square.
The convergence was at 4pm and almost at once a banner was dropped from the current installation surrounding the Columbus statue. It read: “Debt Is the New Colonialism.” It was not up for very long but it was photographed by many of us and far more tourists and passers-by. A session on the “Future Without Debt” from Free University followed and at 6pm an Assembly celebrated the Global Day of Action. I had the fun experience of mic checking the French call for today’s action– in French! The crowd gamely followed and cheered when we got to la resistance.
People from Yo Soy 132 in Mexico, the Japanese anti-nuclear movement, and Quebec’s student movement reported on actions in their locations and we heard the news from Spain.
The first action stop took the gathering of about 300 people to Goldman Sachs chair Lloyd Blankfein’s residence.
Some of us got inside while casseroling and after the police sealed the building, the gathering mic checked the “vampire squid” CEO. Off to a selection of one per cent destinations across the mid-town area, casseroling all the way. We checked in at the Plaza Hotel.
Given a power lift by a passing performance artist, I led a mic check of the global day of debt to the patrons of this prime one per cent venue. New York’s “finest” were not thrilled and used a good deal of force to clear the doorways. So off we went to Tiffany’s, who took one look and closed their security doors (below).
Perhaps the best received action of the night came when some people managed to hang the Occupy Wall Street banner off the balcony at Rockefeller Plaza, right in front of Rockefeller Center. Sorry the picture isn’t that good, I was on the other side of the skating rink
One of the things that was fun about all this was that, even as stores and restaurants closed their doors, their staff smiled at us, waved support and gave surreptitious thumbs-up. Even at Gucci. It turns out that those who see the one per cent close up have no particular love for them.
So we made our way casseroling to Times Square, where so many gathered last year. A happy afterparty waved at themselves in the Jumbotron and celebrated a successful action that did not put anyone in jail.
If anyone wants to play Where’s Waldo, your correspondent is visible somewhere in this picture.
The easy judgment is that there were of course far fewer people in Times Square this year than during last years O15 mass rally. But if you count it a different way, there were far more. Because people all over the world held rallies and marches today and did so on similar themes and ideas. There were 100,000 in Madrid alone. By way of confirmation, here’s the call from the US, Spain, France and Portugal:
From Strike Debt/OWS
To the financial institutions of the world, we have only one thing to say: we owe you NOTHING!
To our friends, families, our communities, to humanity and to the natural world that makes our lives possible, we owe you everything.
To the people of the world, we say: join the resistance, you have nothing to lose but your debts.
A las instituciones financieras del mundo, una sola cosa para deciros: ¡No os debemos NADA! A nuestras familias, comunidades, a la humanidad y nuestro entorno natural que hacen nuestras vidas posibles, os lo debemos todo.
A todos aquello@s que habitan el mundo, les decimos: uniros a la resistencia, no tenéis nada que perder excepto vuestras deudas.
Aux institutions financières du monde, nous n’avons qu’une seule chose à dire : nous ne vous devons RIEN !
A nos amis, familles, communautés, à l’humanité et à notre environnement qui rendent nos vies possibles, nous vous devons tout.
A celles et ceux qui peuplent le monde, nous disons : rejoignez la résistance, vous n’avez rien d’autre à perdre que vos dettes.
Às instituições financeiras do mundo, só temos uma coisa a dizer: não pagamos o que não devemos!
Aos nossos amigos, famílias, comunidades, à humanidade e à natureza que torna a nossa vida possível, devemos tudo.
Aos povos do mundo, apelamos: juntem-se à resistência, não têm nada a perder, apenas as vossas dívidas.
Yes, that’s right: we’re all saying the same thing. We owe you, the financial institutions, nothing. We owe you, our loved ones, friends and communities, everything.

The bakery/café I work for is looking for a good company to print our menus. We're looking to print "tall" menus. I'm sorry this is so vague, but I don't know the measurements or name of the type of menu. If I had to guess I'd say ~8" x ~4" — you know, the kind you often see in restaurants/cafés/delis, etc, often with a trifold. We're most likely doing just a double sided piece of paper, though. We're located in Brooklyn, so we'd be looking for a company somewhere here or in Manhattan.
I'm looking for a recording studio in Manhattan or Brooklyn that can record Drums, Standup Bass, and Ukulele (at the same time, not overdubbed), in Logic Studio. I'd then like to have the Logic Project files given to me, so I can work on the rest of the arrangement in my bedroom.

The mission of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to protect the nation’s foods, drugs, biologics, medical devices, cosmetics, and veterinary products is even more critical today than in the past. In Fiscal Year 2002, FDA carried out its enforcement activities and accomplishments with renewed awareness, commitment, and determination to protect the American public from the new threat of bioterrorism.
Shortly after the events of September 11, 2001, Congress recognized the need to enhance the security of the United States and passed the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Act). President George W. Bush signed the Act into law on June 12, 2002. Title III of the Act increases FDA’s authority regarding food by requiring:
- Registration of domestic or foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold food for consumption in the U.S.;
- Prior Notice of all imported food shipments;
- All businesses that manufacture, process, pack, transport, distribute, receive, hold or import food to create and maintain records that may be needed to determine the immediate previous sources and the immediate subsequent recipients of food.
In addition, the Bioterrorism Act authorizes FDA to detain a food if an FDA officer or qualified employee finds credible evidence or information that indicates that the food may pose a serious threat to humans or animals.
These new provisions will enable FDA to better protect the American food supply. FDA has intensified its efforts to monitor FDA-regulated products and, in particular, the nation’s food supply. For example, total food imports in Fiscal Year 2002 increased by only 10 percent over Fiscal Year 2001. However, FDA visual examinations of imported products tripled from Fiscal Year 2001 to Fiscal Year 2002, including examinations of imported seafood, vegetables, and some vegetable products. 1/
In addition to FDA’s work to protect the American food supply, FDA enforcement accomplishments included a broad range of activities in Fiscal Year 2002. FDA’s enforcement activities include the following highlights:
- A large medical device firm agrees to pay $7,000,000 to settle civil claims for submitting false and/or misleading claims to the United States.
- A clinical investigator is disqualified for submitting false information in reports to FDA for studies of investigational devices.
- A manufacturer of a “drug of abuse test” kit agrees to pay a $250,000 civil money penalty plus interest. The product had been cleared for professional use only but the firm was promoting the product over-the-counter.
- “Unsterile” obstetrical and gynecological devices labeled as “sterile” are seized.
- Contaminated grape juice containing excessive amounts of lead is seized. The juice was intended to be used to manufacture juice for school lunch programs.
- Ephedrine HCl, claiming to be a dietary supplement, is seized because it was being promoted as a treatment for obesity.
- Four seafood firms sign Consent Decrees of Permanent Injunction for significant violations of the seafood regulations for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points.
- A large manufacturer of drugs and vaccines is notified by FDA of payments due under a Consent Decree of $1,635,000 and $2,520,000 for failure to complete various actions in accordance with the timetable in the Consent Decree.
- Under a Consent Decree a major pharmaceutical drug manufacturer is required to pay $500 million to the U.S. Treasury based on profits from the sale of drugs that were not manufactured in compliance with FDA regulations.
- FDA orders a recall of potentially contaminated tissue product used for transplantation.
Illegal Drug Residues:
- Livestock owner signs Consent Decree of Permanent Injunction for bringing 38 cattle to slaughter with illegal drug residues in edible tissues.
In fiscal year 2002, the efforts of FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) resulted in 372 arrests and 317 convictions for violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and related statutes. Additionally, these criminal investigations resulted in $24,027,549 in fines/restitution and $18,300,000 in forfeitures.
OCI reports enforcement activities that include:
- The conviction and sentencing of a physician for dilution of chemotherapy drugs. The defendant is sentenced to 30 years in prison, and required to pay a $25,000 fine as well as $10.4 million in restitution because of his sale of diluted drugs.
- The conviction and sentencing of a defendant who falsely claims to be a physician. The defendant is sentenced for the fraudulent promotion of a “promising new treatment for cancer.” The sentence includes 121 months incarceration, followed by 3 years probation and payment of $1.5 million in restitution to his victims.
The Enforcement Story is devoted to practical presentation of actual FDA enforcement actions that impact on the development, manufacture, distribution, and marketing of foods, human and veterinary drugs, biologics, cosmetics, and medical devices.

Hey all my friends and fans and nice people out there that send email regarding photos! Thanks very much for all your emails, but things are to the point now where I just cannot respond in a timely manner. I get so many good questions and well wishes… you all certainly deserve a response, but I just don’t have time! I’m sure you understand.
My real life, as usual, is filled with John Galt Games… My day is about: 70% work, 20% family, 5% playing games, and 5% preparing a new picture to post on this site everyday. That leaves very little extra time to answer photo-related emails.
Also, I do read all the feedback on the photos – I appreciate it all. People ask questions all the time (mostly, like, how do you make these pictures???) – many of them can be answered by steering people to my HDR Tutorial – I hope it is helpful!
I am sure people think I am very rude… it is just too much incoming to keep up with. However, I will keep trying to post one great picture per day! I hope you keep coming back and enjoying them… just please understand that I just can’t respond to everyone.
Thanks again and I hope you all keep having fun with your cameras too! | <urn:uuid:8a4c8b51-3caf-45f5-8214-e3e9ff9d130a> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.stuckincustoms.com/2007/12/21/sorry-for-not-answering-email-and-thanks-for-so-many-nice-messages/ | 2016-10-27T20:34:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721392.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00486-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971686 | 272 | [

Habitats in Costa Rica include lowland rain forest (La Selva and Corcovado), cloud forest (Monteverde), dry forest (Palo Verde and Santa Rosa), pre-montane wet forest (Las Cruces), montane forest (Cuerici), alpine paramo, streams, and wetlands. The schedule is full, including fieldwork, laboratories, lectures and discussions, with emphasis on original research, mostly in small groups of 2-3. Faculty and advanced graduate TAs share field accommodations with students and are in continuous contact as mentors throughout the program. Students master field and analytical methods (including hypothesis testing, statistical and software skills) for observational and experimental research. We pursue a great variety of research topics, including plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore interactions, processes driving coral reef structure (and coral reef decline), determinants of species distributions, animal behavior, and conservation ecology. Students practice contemporary scientific inquiry: making observations, asking testable questions, generating hypotheses, developing experimental protocols, collecting data, making statistical inferences - including multi-model comparisons, writing scientific papers, and presenting seminars. Research papers are published in an annual book. Accommodations are at field stations in Costa Rica, and at a marine laboratory in the Caribbean.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO/AP) — A 25-year-old Bloomington man has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from two separate alleged sexual assaults.
According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office says 25-year-old Dominique LaMont Darrough reached a plea agreement Thursday.
Darrough pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree criminal sexual conduct and fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to recommend four years in prison.
Darrough was arrested on Christmas Day after police say he molested a woman on a light rail train. A 16-year-old girl also accused him of following her off a bus in South Minneapolis the week before and trying to rape her.
Both victims say he aggressively came after them.
Online court records didn’t list a defense attorney Saturday.

Red, my Smart is going in for it's 2 year check-up. Couldn't be more satisfied.
If I had $10 for everyone who has driven my Smart or for whom I have taken for a "test drive", ....Well you get the picture and I didn't even get a hat.

I just did some comparison shopping for insurance coverage, and I found a wide range of premiums among the various companies. I found that State Farm

Got my Smart back that had a windshield incident (see blog post below). Windscreen is Smart OEM, new seal (old one could be reused but I opted for new) and the stratched Tridion and front panels have been repaired perfectly. I mean they nailed the color. Its as if they shipped the panels to Smartville, had Smart GmbH paint it and then sent it back. Amazing job.

My Smart Cabrio is having roof problems. It looks like 2 pins came out of the drivers side of the fabric roof system. I have the extended warrant and we have an appointment tomorrow in Jax, Fl.

I'd had LittleTow for more than a year, scooting up, down and around the Ozarks. I loved the little Smart car that didn't seem to know the difference between a hilly road and a flat one. In the back of my mind, though, I wondered how those three cylinders would handle a truly steep hill or a real mountain road.

Anyone buy and install those new stiffer motor mounts in their car yet? Any feedback or thoughts? I worry that the lack of movement in the strut will transfer vibration from the engine into the cabin, or put stress on the axels that might cause premature wear. Motor mounts are suppose to flex. I understand the theory. Porsche is working on a fluid motor mount that is regulated by throttle and power demand to do the same thing. I wish it weren't so expensive either. $130 is a bit much.

There are plenty of world superstars plying their trade in La Liga but also a lot of lesser lights working in their shadows.
Not every team can splash the kind of cash that makes Real Madrid and Barcelona so powerful. Most have to sell their best players just to keep the Spanish tax agency at bay for another season.
But there are plenty of gems in the league that do a job on yearly wages equivalent to a few minutes work for some of the more celebrated players. Sofiane Feghouli (above) is one, although he might not have quite lived up to the "new Zinedine Zidane" tag.
Here's a new year's toast to the secondary actors in the self-styled "greatest league in the world." | <urn:uuid:af92defa-4768-4666-91e4-992d2f3028de> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1463486-la-liga-underrated-11-of-2012 | 2016-10-23T17:17:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719286.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00104-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976226 | 155 | [

DePuy Orthopaedics LPS Diaphyseal Sleeve: Class I Recall – Taper Connection May Not Accommodate Physiologic Loads
[Posted 02/22/2013] FDA Med Alert Watch
AUDIENCE: Orthopedics, Surgery, Risk Manager
ISSUE: FDA notified healthcare professionals of a Class I recall of the LPS Diaphyseal Sleeve. The LPS Diaphyseal Sleeve to Diaphyseal Sleeve Base taper connection may not be sufficient to accommodate potential physiologic loads that may be transferred to the junction during normal gait activities by some patients. This may result in fracture of the sleeve at the taper joint which may also lead to loss of function or loss of limb, infection, compromised soft tissue or death.
The FDA has received a total of 10 reports (6 fractures and 4 reports of loosening that may or may not be attributed to the same device design issue) of incidents in which the device has malfunctioned.
The affected devices were manufactured from 2008 to July 20, 2012. See the Recall notice for a list of affected product codes and lot numbers.
BACKGROUND: The LPS Diaphyseal Sleeve is intended for use with the LPS System which is an end-stage revision knee product that allows surgeons to reconstruct severe soft tissue and bony defects. The diaphyseal sleeve is intended to enhance the fit and fill of the diaphyseal femoral canal with femoral and tibial replacements.
RECOMMENDATION: On Jan. 4, 2013, DePuy issued an Urgent Medical Device Recall informing hospitals and surgeons of the problem and to immediately stop distributing or using the recalled lots. If a medical facility has the affected product in stock, it should be returned to DePuy.
DePuy is not recommending revision or additional follow up in the absence of symptoms of patients with this implanted device. However, DePuy is encouraging surgeons to communicate with patients who received these implants and discuss the risks of the implant fracture and the method for detecting implant failure if the patient begins experiencing symptoms. | <urn:uuid:467f02a7-d882-4b37-b790-33d288470f8c> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.legalview.com/medical-devices/depuy-diaphyseal-sleeve/ | 2016-10-23T16:04:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719286.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00104-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926123 | 441 | [

From the vaults: making the news in years gone by
The LME was attracting suitors, Iosco hired David Wright, Jerker Johansson was heading to UBS and there were departures at Gleacher...
One year ago...
The London Metal Exchange was said to be receiving first-round takeover bids from companies including NYSE Euronext and CME Group as suitors circled the commodities group.
Last year, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing became the LME’s new owner. Meanwhile, the International Organisation of Securities Commissions pulled off a coup by recruiting David Wright, a seasoned regulator who helped design the Mifid legislation, as its secretary general.
The hire came as Iosco prepared to take a more prominent role in shaping the financial markets regulatory reform agenda.
Five years ago...
Morgan Stanley’s Jerker Johansson was heading to UBS to become chief executive of its investment bank, which had endured hefty mortgage-related writedowns. Johansson succeeded Huw Jenkins.
The pair were reunited last month, along with a third former head of UBS’ investment bank, Alex Wilmot-Sitwell, and former group chief executive Marcel Rohner, as they appeared before a UK parliamentarian committee to be grilled by MPs over the Swiss bank's role in the manipulation of Libor.
The commission was incredulous at claims that UBS management figures had been unaware of the wrongdoing.
10 years ago...
Two partners at Gleacher & Co left the US advisory boutique, reportedly over a dispute over the management and ownership of the firm’s London arm.
The dispute came to a head when chairman Eric Gleacher asked them to leave.
A decade on, and at the end of last month it was Gleacher himself who was retiring.
Gleacher, who founded the M&A business at Lehman Brothers and ran the same business at Morgan Stanley during the 1980s, said he would be focusing on “exciting business opportunities” outside the firm. | <urn:uuid:028c90d9-e001-4b0a-a52e-d0d4a37c5299> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.efinancialnews.com/story/2013-02-11/from-the-vaults-making-the-news-in-years-gone-by-issue-837 | 2016-10-24T19:25:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719677.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00166-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974491 | 420 | [

ST. PETERSBURG -- Arielle Orr could barely wait, wide open 10 yards from the St. Petersburg goal with Palm Harbor University teammate Kelly Kuenning controlling the ball in the left corner.
Kuenning spotted Orr and lofted a pass in front of the goal. Before the defense could converge, Orr got off a left-footed shot that trickled into the right corner with four minutes left.
"I was at the top of the box and the defender was behind me," Orr said. "I wanted the ball to come to me.
"Once I hit it I was pretty sure it was going in."
It was the only goal in a game full of near misses. The Hurricanes, 3A-11 runners-up, beat 3A-12 champion St. Petersburg 1-0 to advance to a regional semifinal.
PHU (13-6-1) plays at Durant at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Durant beat Plant 7-0 in its quarterfinal.
St. Petersburg's season ends at 16-4.
St. Petersburg goalkeeper A.J. McAllister almost got a hand on Orr's shot before it crossed the goal line.
McAllister stopped everything else PHU kicked at her, including a diving save of a Kuenning shot with eight minutes left.
Both McAllister and Hurricanes keeper Jahanna Azarian made several big saves to keep the game scoreless for 76 minutes.
Midway through the first half Azarian made a diving save on an Emily Smith shot, and McAllister barely tipped a Sara Stack shot over the crossbar eight minutes into the game.
"I thought A.J. played a great game," St. Petersburg coach Rui Farias said. "Our defense overall played well.
"We just made one mistake."
-- RODNEY PAGE
ST. PETERSBURG -- Just 11 minutes into the game, Lakewood had all but secured a spot in the regional semifinals. From that point on, Lake Wales was little more than a scrimmage partner.
The Spartans dispatched the Highlanders easily in a quarterfinal, winning 10-0 via the mercy rule. Erica Williams tallied a hat trick, Devon Wilt scored two goals and five other players scored a goal in a tuneup for next week's contest.
"I try and tell them to not get lazy. There's certain things (to work on)," Lakewood coach Darlene Lebo said. "I tell them two touches, or they've got to have X number of passes, or other things to focus on while they're also playing the game."
Lakewood (17-6-1) earned the right to a chilly practice after a seven-minute spurt early in the first half.
In the fourth minute, Williams' shot from the right side of the box was dropped at the goal line by Lake Wales keeper Sonja Smith. Less than three minutes later, Morgan Roy scored the Spartans' second goal off a rebound. Williams made it 3-0 at the 11-minute mark on a tap-in from another rebounded shot.
The Spartans added two more goals in the half, one from Shanna DiNobile, who moved through traffic in the middle of the field and blasted a high shot from 18 yards, and one from Wilt, whose shot from 30 yards brushed off Smith's hands and into the net.
Lake Wales (8-6-4) had no answer, failing to record a single shot.
In the second half, Lakewood needed just 20 minutes to end the game early. Wilt started the scoring in the 47th minute with a free kick from outside the box that sailed over Lake Wales' three-person wall and its keeper. Lauren Kelly made it 7-0 three minutes later, converting on a cross from Abbie Harms.
Smith had a hand on that shot, as well as another shot moments later from Jenny Borschel that rebounded to Williams, who cleaned it up for her third goal. The Highlanders keeper was pulled after that, but the new keeper lasted just 10 minutes, surrendering goals to Borschel and Susie Herbert.
-- JOHN SCHWARB
EAST LAKE -- Kathleen Pollard is quite familiar with free kicks.
She just isn't used to having them hit the back of the net.
"Usually, they'd hit the crossbar or go over the goal," Pollard said.
The Seminole freshman had a reversal in fortune, scoring her first goal off a free kick to help the Warhawks beat East Lake 2-1.
Seven minutes into the second-half, Pollard's kick from 30 yards floated over the outstretched arms of Eagles' keeper Jackie Justiano and landed in the upper left-hand corner of the net.
"I wasn't really paying attention after I kicked it," Pollard said. "There were a lot of people in the way, but I saw (it) in the back of the net."
Seminole (19-3-1) added to its lead midway through the second half when Heeda McAuley dribbled past a diving Justiano to score.
East Lake (14-7-1) countered in the final four minutes on a goal by Shana Hudson.
"We feel fortunate to play a good team on the road and win," Warhawks coach Steve Kuplicki said.
The Eagles, who won their district, played without Megan Balmer, a captain who had been suspended for a red card and would have been eligible to return today.
"I couldn't have asked any more from our girls," East Lake coach Andy Pitt said. "Seminole just had a good free kick that was difficult to defend against."

CLEARWATER -- Coach Tom Typrowicz stressed a couple of things before Clearwater Central Catholic played Santa Fe.
"Get into an offensive rhythm and be patient as a whole."
Fortunately for CCC, his players didn't listen. CCC routed the Crimson Eagles 9-0. The rhythm was quick, hustled along by seven impatient players wanting to advance to the regional semifinals.
Jessica Hallgren, Lisa Matuska, Nicole Matuska, Sarah Sheehan, Andra Cruickshank and Apryl Wall scored for the Marauders (both Matuskas and Sheehan scored twice).
Hallgren put CCC ahead 3-0 at the break when she hurled a throw-in 20 yards that hit the back of the net just before halftime. "Patience is something we talked about," Typrowicz said. "But I guess with 40 shots it can go either way, and it's not all that bad sometimes not to be patient."
Patient or not, rhythmic or not, Typrowicz might have to focus on health. Shortly after the start of the second half, Hallgren (the team's top scorer) went down with a sprained right ankle and will join starting goalkeeper Kristin Leyshock and two others on the bench with serious injuries.

ST. PETERSBURG -- A pair of identical blasts from forward Lena Mullaney boosted St. Petersburg Catholic past Naples St. John Neumann 3-1.
With the score tied 1-1, the Barons pushed the ball into St. John Neumann territory and slipped a pass across the field to Mullaney. She dribbled past a defender and zipped the ball past the Celtics' goalkeeper to put the Barons ahead for good.
Five minutes later, Mullaney scored from the left side.
St. Petersburg Catholic (23-3-1) advances to face Lakeland Christian.
The Barons will need a focused 80-minute effort if they want to continue their march toward a state title.
Despite outshooting St. John Neumann 12-1 in the first half, the Barons couldn't come up with a goal. But, thanks to a strong defensive effort, neither could St. John Neumann.
Freshman Kathleen Howe got the Barons' offense moving with a goal that hooked away from the Celtics' keeper for a 1-0 SPC lead.
St. John Neumann answered three minutes later with a goal from forward Sarah Rosseau. Rosseau's free kick from 25 yards slipped past Brady.
-- SAM STANTURF
Shorecrest's first regional tournament game was one to forget, as the Chargers lost 10-0 to Fort Myers Bishop Verot. Bishop Verot plays at Clearwater Central Catholic next Tuesday in a semifinal.
The Chargers (15-10-1) were outshot 37-9. Bishop Verot forward Sage Sizemore scored four goals to lead the team.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game going in," Shorecrest coach Neal Wolfrath said. "They go forward all game. They just keep attacking."

Cost and Quality of Care Rank as Top Factors in Choosing the Right
WASHINGTON, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Eighty-four percent of Americans over the age of 50 expect an immediate family member to move into a senior living community within the next 10 years, while 24 percent over the age of 65 expect the same for themselves, according to a new national survey of American attitudes on assisted living released today by the Coalition to Protect Choice in Senior Living (CPCSL). The poll found just more than half (51 percent) expect their parents to live in a senior living community within 10 years, with 15 percent expecting the same for their spouse and 10 percent for a sibling.
Prospective assisted living residents and their family members rank cost and quality of care as the most important factors when choosing an assisted living community. They are also extremely budget-conscious when making assisted living decisions and are looking for ways to keep costs as low as possible. When asked which is more important when deciding on an assisted living community for a family member, "The quality of the community regardless of what it costs," or "The best quality community among those that fit your budget," respondents overwhelmingly (78 percent) chose the latter. Cost considerations are even higher when making assisted living decisions for themselves, with fully 85 percent saying they will chose the best quality community among those that fit their budget.
"The assisted living industry works overtime to provide our residents with the best quality of care possible for the most affordable price," stated CPCSL spokesperson Maribeth Bersani. "As an industry we are constantly looking for ways to maintain that affordability for our residents while at the same time increasing their overall quality of care. As more and more Americans look to assisted living communities for their senior years, our industry will continue to meet their needs with expanded choices and independence for our residents, even higher levels of care, and an ever-present focus on affordability and costs."
Prospective senior living residents and their family members cite the
following community attributes as the five most important factors when
choosing an assisted living community:
76% -- The quality of personal care in the community
76% -- The personal safety for the residents of the community
74% -- The cleanliness of the community
68% -- The quality of the staff in the community
57% -- The quality of the management of the community

General Motors has sold its Hummer brand of SUVs to Chinese heavy industrial machinery builder Sichuan Tengzhon. No details have been released but the sale was reportedly made for a sum of just $150 million.
GM CEO Fritz Henderson had estimated in documents filed during GM’s bankruptcy proceedings that the brand could be worth as much as $500 million.
The once glamorous brand of massive and massively expensive SUVs began to suffer when the price of fuel spiked last year, but the recession hurt the company far more as it has recorded a 64 percent decline in sales so far in 2009. That drop is the largest sales decline recorded by any automobile brand this year.
Tengzhong will take over Hummer’s brand network as well as it’s manufacturing processes, however, GM will continue to build the H2, H3 and H3T on contract until June 2011. Brand CEO Jim Taylor will remain on with the company.
The sale of Hummer is actually the first successful one in GM’s brand elimination process. The company announced it would eliminate Pontiac, while selling off Saturn, Saab and Hummer and keeping four core brands: GMC, Buick, Cadillac and Chevrolet. The sale of Saturn to Penske recently fell through while GM has yet to sign a contract with Koenigsegg group, which is interested in Saab.

the wild chance that it might do some good - but as was to be expected,
no magic occurred.
Here's hoping you do find a way to duplicate the problem. Upgrading this

The Girl with Green Eyes, starring Rita Tushingham and Lynn Redgrave, is a 1964 film based on Edna O'Brien's novel The Lonely Girl about a brief affair between a working class shop girl up from the country and an older landowner.
It might not win too many prizes for its Irish accents, but it does retain some interest for its Dublin street scenes, and a great episode based around a night out dancing in a nightclub. Dancers are seen twisting on the floor to a live showband, and later in couples.
The scene is the Four Provinces Ballroom (or as it says on the sign 4 Provinces), which was apparently in Dublin's Harcourt Street and later became known as the Television Club before it was demolished in around 1990.
The nightclub scene kicks in around 6:30 into the film.

Disclaimer: this post is long and there is a bit of a rant. Just as long as making this cake was and reading about it.
With 7 pages of instructions and 7 different steps, we knew it was going to take A LOT of resilience and baking savvy to do this one. Jenn was hoping that Marie would give us this one on a long weekend so we would have more time to plan for it. I was hoping that Marie would have a total Opps-y moment and would forget about this one.
We totally jinx ourselves. Because not even a week after this whole discussion took place - there is was in the baking list, and NOT on a long weekend.
This cake, even from the start was a total Prima Donna, and not in a good way. Did you know that the word “diva” means evil in some parts of the world?
Yep, this cake for all its prettiness and wow factor was pure evil. It was difficult, temperamental, complicated and very demanding. Even if at the end of all that you end up with a show stopper, full of attitude and greatness. This one is for that time when you really want to impress and have lots of time on your hands.
Because it’s going to kick your butt along the way.
In my case it did not help that I been sick as a dog with a cold for the past week and was still in recoup mode. My cold even flared up in the middle of this - that is how bad it was.
Like all the HCB bakers, I must have read the 7 pages of instructions over and over again, until those instructions were one blurry ink blot on the pages. Nevertheless, I started to plan this cake a week in advance. Making sure that I had everything I needed, the right apples, the right liquor – another one for the bar people – the right pan, the right vanilla. I was super duper prepare (or I thought). I knew that I needed to space these steps in a 2-3 day interval or I was not going to even attempt it.
So it started on Thursday night, with the easiest step – poaching the apples. Simple enough: Sauce pan with water, a couple of tablespoons of Calvados, which was Tom’s contribution at a whopping $40+ a pop! (he and I had a “talk”) sugar, the vanilla bean and the lemon juice. You take and peel the apple and core them with a melon baller, which was the first jinx – no melon baller in my kitchen gadget drawer – SO MUCH FOR PRE-PLANNING! I made do and since this was my first time poaching a fruit, I was totally checking it and re-checking it making sure that I did not go over. By the time this step was done it was 11pm at night - Keep that in mind, you will see a pattern here.
My cold came on stronger than ever, so instead, I drank lots of tea with a bit of brandy and got myself totally tipsy, that it was impossible for me to even turn on the oven - I went to bed instead.
SO MUCH FOR PRE-PLANNING! (hear that sound? yeah, that is Jinx #2)
Saturday, I started with the biscuit, which was pretty straight forward. I did try something new this time and instead of lining my half baking sheet with parchment, I opted to be brave and use the silpat, which totally worked! (Mr. Parchment bye-bye!). 7 minutes later, my biscuit was a thing of beauty.
Until I read the instructions in how to cut the templates for this.
I read it over 10 times and still was confused about it – it does not help that part of the instructions are in one portion of the recipe and the other in another step. (grrr!) I’m ashamed to say this, but Tom had to totally step in and show me the light bulb moment here. See, math and me, are not in the best of terms, sort of like piping and yeast. We just don’t get along. So I cut my pieces and then dumped the whole thing in the freezer to make sure it was not going to fall apart on me when I use the apricot preserves to coat the layers and stack – which totally help me when it came to time to do this step. After you stack them they need to go back in the freezer to chill out before the final cuts.
While the book does tell you they need to cool for at least 2 hours, Rose does recommend overnight. I was over it and wanted to continue on. So at the 2 hour mark, I took them out of the freezer and started to cup them up in neatly into the required 3/8-inch strips to lined the pan. I was suppose to end up with 20 even pieces, I (of course) came up with 16 – the hell? I measure my 16, they were all 3/8 what went wrong??? I used the left over to complete the 20 and covered the whole circle. Put my 8-inch circle into the pan and put that whole thing away. I was having issues with it at this point.
It was 10pm by the time I finish this step and was seriously thinking to call it quits and leave the Bavarian cream and final construction for Sunday.
I went to bed.
Could not sleep.
Got up and went back to the kitchen to tackle the caramel Cream filling. I figure just the caramel cream and then on Sunday, I would do the rest – the Italian meringue and the whipped cream.
But after I started, I realized that I could not do the caramel and just leave it, I had to complete the whole thing. When I hit the 5th step which was the Italian Meringue, I really though that the whole step had so many extra, unnecessary steps I was willing to do my 7-minute frosting, which basically was the same thing. But, again - I thought about it (I think it was the cold medicine, and all the jinxes so far) and ended up following the directions after all. 20 minutes later, Italian Meringue in a bowl.
Next up the whipping of the heavy cream. Then everything gets incorporate together to form a delicious Bavarian cream filling. Yes, it was delicious.
Took out the mold from the refrigerator, filled it up with the cream, cut up the poach apples and created the Rose pattern on top. The final step was the apple glazed. Poaching liquid, some arrowroot and you are done.
ahhh, not quite….
Looked all over my pantry and realized no arrowroot (BANG! Jinx #3). At this point I realized that I need to go back to school and learn to read better, because the 10 + times plus the planning ahead was not enough!
At this point I realized that the cake had the upper hand because, I was over it. So, I took an executive decision and used cornstarch instead and also melted a bit of the apricot reserved, and hoped for the best.
Painted the cake with the modified glaze, covered the whole thing and stare it down, call it a couple of nasty names and back in the refrigerator it went.
I took a peek at the clock, realized that it was 2AM and totally promise myself that this cake was never, ever going to be done ever again in my lifetime - period.
Tom: “DELICIOUS, totally worth all the effort you put in to it - and no, I not going to ask you to ever do it again (he knows when to cut his looses that one). I really love the flavor of the poach apples.
My mother: “ I found it really yummy and super fancy dessert too. Very delicate, it seems its going to be overly sweet and its not. Nice balance and Tom is right, the poach apples are the real star here”
Myself: I did enjoy the challenge, and I did learn new techniques. But, I was really put off by the amount of equipment that the book calls you to use, and sometimes the instructions were not very clear cut and left you scratching your head. One example is that, while Rose tells you to compose the whole thing 8 hours before serving it once you finish the whole thing, you have no clue how to store it? Can it be left at room temperature? Does it go back to the refrigerator? After 7 pages, you would figure that piece of information would be included in there, its not. - While I did not try the whole thing together (I’m still mad at it), I knew that each of the components were good, since I tasted it along the way.
I also learned something else… I totally need to seriously hire a dishwasher! | <urn:uuid:4b63fac5-a6e5-4fe0-a1ae-aa7f1c417b71> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.sweetbitesblog.com/journal/2010/9/20/hcb-apple-caramel-charlotte.html | 2016-10-24T21:52:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719784.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00032-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981707 | 1,853 | [

But . . . but . . . but . . . Jim Crow!
The Obama administration has blocked Texas’ new law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, saying it would suppress Hispanic voter turnout, and the United Nations is now investigating the fairness of such laws in Texas and other states. But voters in this country still overwhelmingly support voter ID laws and don’t think they discriminate.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 72% of Likely U.S. Voters believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver’s license before being allowed to vote. Only 22% are opposed to the photo ID requirement. | <urn:uuid:c8dccf31-ce29-448c-9a6b-11cc14ef32b1> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.weaselzippers.us/108175-poll-whopping-72-of-americans-favor-voter-id-laws-being-blocked-by-obama-admin-only-22-oppose-them/ | 2016-10-24T21:54:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719784.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00032-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.912787 | 135 | [

"Regent's Park" Regent's Park - Primrose Hill Tip by Airpunk
Regent's Park - Primrose Hill, London: 41 reviews and 101 photos
Regents Park is one of the Royal Parks of London and a very well-kept. There is a lot to see in this park, canals, flowers, exotic plants and villas. Events, such as concerts, take often place in the park. Regent's Park began its history as property of Barking Abbey and was transferred to the crown after the dissolution of the monasteries. Since then, it remained in property of the crown (with exception of the time of the Republic).
Its popularity is somewhat lower than Hyde Park?s, maybe because Hyde Park is a well-known name around the world or maybe because restrictions for animals, closing times etc. are stricter at Rregent?s Park. However, it is worth a visit. If you want to visit Camden Town, why don?t you take the Tube to Baker Street and walk to Camden by crossing the park?
Address: Off Ulster Terrace
Directions: Baker Street, Regent?s Park and Great Portland Street are the nearest tube stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are you concerned about the legality of posting these audio clips without the consent of all participants?
2. Can I add you as a friend on Xbox Live?
I’d love to have a chance to game with everyone, but unfortunately, I only have a limited number of spots left for friends on my current account… as well as a limited amount of time to play. Maybe at some point in the future, I will have enough extra money lying around (and enough free time) to start a Gold Account solely for the purpose of gaming with my readers… But at this point, it’s just not a possibility.
3. Do you hate men or something?
Nope, I’m pretty fond of dudes (as confirmed by my boyfriend).
4. Why do you use an Xbox 360/One?
In short, I use an Xbox because (and this is really the most important point) that’s what all my friends use, and I have a lot of fun playing it. We do own a gaming PC, I just prefer consoles at this point. I don’t think an Xbox is better or worse than a PS3 or a PC… as long as you’re gaming and having fun, you’re doing it right.
5. You call yourself a gamer, but this website is only about Call of Duty; what else do you play?
On my Xbox, beyond Call of Duty I also love Bioshock, Deadspace, Halo, and Fable series. I love the Borderlands series, and Alan Wake too.
For the PC, now it’s all about Minecraft. I built a Trojan Moose outside my friend’s base once. I grew up playing games like Crystal Caves, Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, Jill of the Jungle, and Hugo’s House of Horrors on the PC, then a little later on I would play the games from the Heroes of Might and Magic series.
For the PlayStation (the original, mine still works perfectly), I loved the Final Fantasy games (IX was actually my favorite), Tomba, Spyro the Dragon, Legends of Legaia, and Sledstorm.
For the Nintendo DS, Pokemon. Every Pokemon game, ever. The Professor Layton games are also pretty addicting, as are the Final Fantasy and Golden Sun games… and I’ve been known to waste a few hours on Animal Crossing as well.
6. People accuse you of camping a lot- what’s with that?
My friends and I play (almost exclusively) a game type called Hardcore Kill Confirmed. This game type involves first killing members of the enemy team (which counts towards your personal score), and then collecting their dog tag (which counts towards the team score). Basically, if you just sit around and kill people without collecting their tags, you’re going to lose the game. So, I have to be mobile to win the game (I will play more cautiously if I am only a few kills away from a big streak like a Pave Low or something, but that’s about it).
Camping is one of the go-to insults/accusations in Call of Duty. If you lose the game, you’re bound to blame it on one of these four things:
7. Are you a 12 year old boy?
Negative- I am a meat popsicle.
8. Do you report these people?
Yes. Absolutely I do. They are violating the Xbox LIVE code of conduct, and I take the time to file complaints on all of them. If someone is just doing something stupid and inane like repeatedly saying my name and asking me “to date them” or talking about how they think I’m hot, or ugly, no- I don’t report them. Because while they are being obnoxious, they aren’t breaking any rules. But if they ask to see my tits, call me a fat cunt, or talk about how much they want to rape me, I don’t hesitate to file a complaint. And if you’re being harassed for your gender, race, or perceived sexuality, you should be filing complaints too. That shit is crossing a line.
9. Does reporting them work?
I don’t know. I’d like to imagine it does, especially when I file complaints for voice or text messages that I receive, because the proof is right in my inbox. But the fact of the matter is, Xbox LIVE doesn’t send you a notification saying, “We banned user XxXredhot69erXxX for the remarks they made to you!”. The system isn’t perfect, even Microsoft will admit that- but they do indeed ban people for violating the code of conduct. They just don’t notify anyone but the person being banned.
10. Why don’t you post gamer tags?
It’s not realistic for the site I run. I keep the names on text messages, because all I have to do is take a screenshot. And I video record the audio messages I receive, because they are only up to 30 seconds long, and all I have to do is point my camera at the TV screen. But mostly, I post audio recordings. There is no way for me to prove which gamertag is attached to which comment, short of videotaping every gaming session I have so that people can see the little microphone icons light up next to the gamertags of the people talking.
And quite frankly, I don’t have the time for that. I don’t get paid to run this website, and it already consumes a tremendous amount of my time. And I’m glad to give that time. I believe this site is important, because it’s a documentation of the kind of behavior female gamers encounter simply because of their gender. But I can’t dedicate any more time/effort to this project than I already do- I have a separate life outside of gaming, and this website. | <urn:uuid:cbf37dae-3347-4a80-a682-4fd309f00545> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.notinthekitchenanymore.com/faq/ | 2016-10-25T22:41:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720468.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00094-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940714 | 1,276 | [

Since, we are going to take the night off, we thought, rather than throwing up a goose-egg, as to posting (there are a few, total inane, draining stories bouncing around the World Wide Web, that we just don't want to drag ourselves into this evening) we would give a shout-out, to a local (Chelsea, MA), on his 68th birthday.
Happy B'Day Chick Corea!
Corea, the pianist, keyboard player, and composer, has performed and collaborated with the best-of-the-best, and "is known for his work during the 1970s in the genre of jazz fusion. He participated in the birth of the electric fusion movement as a member of Miles Davis' band in the 1960s, and in the 1970s formed Return to Forever.".

After all, they want to "do business with people with like-minded values,", which brought them to sponsor the Morning Joke Show, so it seems that there would be the vibe for them to get behind the AMA, to trot out Operation Coffee Cup II, and rail against the evils of "socialized medicine" once again.
You see, the AMA did that, back in the early 1960's, using a "well known actor", Ronald Reagan;
The operation received support from Ronald Reagan, who in 1961 produced the LP record Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine for the AMA, outlining arguments against what he called "socialized medicine". This record would be played at the coffee meetings.(You can go HERE, to listen to The Gipper pitch against "socialized medicine".)
As Gomer Pyle would be apt to say, "Surprise, Surprise!"
The American Medical Association is at it again;
Doctors’ Group Opposes Public Insurance Plan
As the health care debate heats up, the American Medical Association is letting Congress know that it will oppose creation of a government-sponsored insurance plan, which President Obama and many other Democrats see as an essential element of legislation to remake the health care system.
While committed to the goal of affordable health insurance for all, the association had said in a general statement of principles that health services should be “provided through private markets, as they are currently.” It is now reacting, for the first time, to specific legislative proposals being drafted by Congress.
But in comments submitted to the Senate Finance Committee, the American Medical Association said: “The A.M.A. does not believe that creating a public health insurance option for non-disabled individuals under age 65 is the best way to expand health insurance coverage and lower costs. The introduction of a new public plan threatens to restrict patient choice by driving out private insurers, which currently provide coverage for nearly 70 percent of Americans.”
If private insurers are pushed out of the market, the group said, “the corresponding surge in public plan participation would likely lead to an explosion of costs that would need to be absorbed by taxpayers.”
But Wait! ... That was this morning.
This afternoon, the AMA is singing a different tune
AMA Walks Back From Its Opposition To All Public Options
The American Medical Association is walking back from its strong opposition to the public option ...
But now, the AMA has issued a statement saying that it is willing to accept a public plan that looks like the private option:
Today’s New York Times story creates a false impression about the AMA’s position on a public plan option in health care reform legislation. The AMA opposes any public plan that forces physicians to participate, expands the fiscally-challenged Medicare program or pays Medicare rates, but the AMA is willing to consider other variations of the public plan that are currently under discussion in Congress. This includes a federally chartered co-op health plan or a level playing field option for all plans. The AMA is working to achieve meaningful health reform this year and is ready to stand behind legislation that includes coverage options that work for patients and physicians.”No doubt, there's a whole lot more dancing to be done to this tune.
In the meantime, the AMA is probably casting about, for the new "well known actor", to record Operation Coffee Cup II.

Well, since we left them off last week (Hey Morning Joke, Cheetos Are Made By A Successful Union Company!), after Morning Joke, and his harlequin-sidekick Mika, had some yuks over dissing Unions, the news broke that the Morning Joke Show had entered into a sponsorship with one of the biggest union-deniers across the land, the caffeinated, price-gouging Starbucks.

Why Starbucks Is Sponsoring MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' ... CMO Terry Davenport Says Coffee Chain Sees Opportunity to Promote Ethical Commitments
CHICAGO (AdAge.com) -- This week Starbucks announced a title sponsorship of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," the first such cable-news deal in decades. But the coffee retailer's chief marketer, Terry Davenport, said the news and a morning cup of coffee just go together.Like "like-minded values"?
The partnership itself appears to be the result of some schmoozing. After ongoing discussions with both General Electric and NBC, Mr. Davenport said "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough casually dropped in to a recent meeting Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz was having with network executives.
"He introduced himself to Howard and said he was a big fan," Mr. Davenport said. "It kind of grew from there." Incidentally, "Morning Joe" anchors have been drinking Starbucks on air for several years. Mr. Scarborough has said viewers have been asking if Starbucks was paying for that placement for quite some time.
Starbucks is, after all, the darling of many a liberal elite. While MSNBC is generally seen as a moderate, if not liberal, network, Mr. Scarborough is a former congressman with a conservative record. Such an alliance could cut at Starbucks' core. But for some, the partnership did not seem conservative enough. A number of commenters on StarbucksGossip.com asked why Starbucks hadn't considered such a partnership with Fox News.
During an interview on the morning show, Mr. Schultz said, "You want to do business with people with like-minded values." He added that Starbucks' model of "balancing profitability with a social conscience" may have been an added inducement for MSNBC.
It would seem, then, perhaps, the Morning Joke Show union-bashing was just a coincidental welcoming gift for their new sponsor.
Spilling the Beans About Starbucks' Union-Busting Tactics
The National Labor Relations Board has repeatedly found Starbucks guilty of illegally terminating, harassing, intimidating, and discriminating against employees attempting to unionize. Late last year, a judge ruled Starbucks had committed over a dozen violations of the National Labor Relations Act at a few New York stores. Starbucks has settled five such labor disputes in the last few years in New York, Minnesota, and Michigan, spending millions on legal fees to avoid exposing their anti-worker ways.Brave New Films has a new campaign - Stop Starbucks - and a video to go with it;
To make matters worse, Starbucks has led the charge on a so-called Employee Free Choice Act "compromise," joining Costco and Whole Foods to form the Committee for Level Playing Field. This Orwellian-sounding group has come up with a "third way" on Employee Free Choice, which would require 70 percent of workers to sign union authorization cards instead of the far more manageable 50 percent initially proposed by this legislation.
Like Wal-Mart, Starbucks offers its workers low wages averaging $7.75 an hour, and Starbucks also refuses to guarantee workers set hours. Instead, the company adheres to an Optimal Scheduling policy that requires baristas to make themselves available 70 percent of open store hours just to work full time in any given week. This means low-wage earning baristas often don't have time to take a second job. Moreover, it precludes tens of thousands of Starbucks employees from working the 240 hours per quarter needed to qualify for the company's health insurance.
What do Starbucks and Wal-Mart have in common?

Tuesday, June 09, 2009
Well, I suppose there could be points awarded, for persistence.
We happened to catch this post, yesterday, from Eric Kleefeld, on TPM;
Right-Wingers To Boycott GM?
"In the effort to reverse this lurch beyond the farthest left fringe of previous Democratic statist urges, individual Americans have a role to play. They have to say no to GM products and services until such time as the denationalization occurs," says Hugh Hewitt. He acknowledges that this is a serious step that could hurt people currently working for GM: "But there isn't any alternative, every dollar spent with GM is a dollar spent against free enterprise. Every car or truck purchased from Government Motors is one not purchased from a private car company that competes fairly against all other car companies."The Cheeseburger That Sweats (h/t Barry Crimmins), aka The Unelected Shadow Leader of the PartyofNoicans is also rooting for it.
Now, Hugh Hewitt is one of the bigger Flying Monkeys out there, and it was, oh so nice, to show some empathy for the GM workers, even though he's betting on screwing them.
So, it is conceivable, that some of his smaller Flying Monkeys, and the Dittoheads that listen to El Dittohead Grande, have already, if they own one, driven their GM automobiles, or trucks, to the nearest junkyard, and replaced it with a good, ol' American-made, "free enterprise" automobile ...
Errr, well, that would have to be subject of another post
But, wait, Hewitt's track record isn't so great on these kind of things.
Steve Benen, in his "SCHADENFREUDE WATCH: HEWITT EDITION..." explains;
In 2006, a few months before the midterm elections, conservative blogger/talk-show host Hugh Hewitt published a book on the drive for a "permanent Republican majority." Soon after, Democrats won a sweeping, historic victory, and reclaimed the majority in both chambers.Well, we all know how The Wasilla Whiz Kid made out.
In 2007, a few months before the primaries, Hewitt published a book on Mitt Romney and the prospects of a "Mormon in the White House." Soon after, Romney blew leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, and withdrew from the presidential race after a surprisingly poor showing.
In 2008, Hewitt has a new idea for a book. It's called, "How Sarah Palin Won the Election ... and Saved America." There's a small problem: no one wants to publish it ...
Leon Neyfakh, from the New York Observer, has the 411 on the Hewitt-penned-Palin-book that wasn't;
Was that the plan regardless of who won?Rest easy, GM workers ... You got nothin' to lose sleep over ... Well, at least from a Hugh Hewitt-led boycott.
"The book obviously presumed [a McCain-Palin victory]," Mr. Yates said, "but the theory was that her impact on this election will have a lasting effect regardless—that she's not gonna go anywhere, that she's just gonna be a figure in G.O.P. politics going forward."
The title of the book, Mr. Yates said, "went through a couple of different iterations."
At one point it was How Sarah Palin Won the Election. At another point it was How Sarah Palin Won the Election ... and Saved America.
"If they were to lose the election it would have just been How Sarah Palin Saved America," Mr. Yates said. "We were trying to cover our bases depending on what may happen."
If we follow form, sales of GM cars will skyrocket.
Maybe Team Obama should be listening (harder, more) to this guy;
Nobel Winner Krugman Sees U.S. Recession Ending Soon (Update1)
The U.S. economy probably will emerge from the recession by September, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman said.Dig "U.S. stocks erased an earlier decline after Krugman made his comments ..."
“I would not be surprised if the official end of the U.S. recession ends up being, in retrospect, dated sometime this summer,” he said in a lecture today at the London School of Economics. “Things seem to be getting worse more slowly. There’s some reason to think that we’re stabilizing.”
U.S. stocks erased an earlier decline after Krugman made his comments. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index was little changed at 939.14 at 4:07 p.m. in New York after slumping as much as 1.5 percent earlier, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.36 points to 8,764.49.
Krugman, a Princeton University economist, has warned recently that the U.S. government hasn’t done enough to help the country’s economy recover. Last month, at a conference in Abu Dhabi, he said the fiscal stimulus is “only enough to mitigate the slump, not induce recovery.”
Even with a recovery, “almost surely unemployment will keep rising for a long time and there’s a lot of reason to think that the world economy is going to stay depressed for an extended period,” Krugman said.
The unemployment rate jumped to 9.4 percent in May, the highest since 1983, partly reflecting more people joining the labor force to look for work.
The Fed’s swollen balance sheet is “a little alarming. In the long run you really don’t want the central banks to be so involved in the business of lending,” Krugman said. “But it’s arguably necessary” even if there are questions about “where does it stop?”
Hmmm ... I wonder if Secretary of the Treasury Timothy "What's that, Lassie? (Woof, woof!!) Timmy Geithner's in the well?!!" Geithner is already formulating a plan, to intravenously feed Krugman caffeine, and then have the FCC clear a channel for him to be speaking 24/7, if his comments are going to make Wall Street jump.
Three Cheers For Nobel Prize Winner Paul Krugman!
A Tale of Two Gippers
A good friend hipped me to the news, yesterday, that saxophonist Sam Butera, known for his long association with Louis Prima, passed away over the weekend.
Jazz saxophonist Sam Butera dies ...Musician made mark with Louis Prima in Las Vegas
Another link to Las Vegas’ storied past was cut Wednesday morning with the passing of legendary jazz saxophonist Sam Butera, sideman to another Vegas legend, Louis Prima.Yes, incredible fun, indeed.
Family friends said Butera died at about 6 a.m. at Sunrise Hospital, where he had been since early January suffering from the effects of Alzheimer's Disease.
Butera, who retired in 2004, would have been 82 in August.
The music of Prima and Butera resurfaces from time to time, played in film sound tracks an commercials. A Gap commerical in the '90s, featuring “Jump, Jive and Wail” gave Butera’s career a boost.
“Louis Prima’s true ace in the hole for 21 years was Sam Butera,” Prima’s widow, Gia Maione, said during a telephone call from her home in Florida. “I don’t care what vocalists were with Louis, his true ace in the hole was Sam Butera. Side by side, Louis and Sam kicked Las Vegas’ butt for 21 years.”
“I really do not believe over all of these years that Sam Butera got the accolades he deserved as a tenor saxophone player,” Maione, 67, said. “I defy anyone to name someone that played better tenor sax that Sam Butera.
“From the day I got the job with Louis, before every show every night, emanating from the dressing room you would hear Sam running his scales, running his fingering, making sure his mouthpiece and reed were perfect. He was a technician beyond belief with that instrument, let alone the showman that he was. And you put those two side by side, Prima and Butera, that was it.”
She says her husband didn’t get the credit he deserved, either.
“Both of them were such great showmen and they had so much fun that people overlooked the skill because they were having too much fun,” she said.

IID Whelan raises the white flag;
My Apologies to Publius
On reflection, I now realize that, completely apart from any debate over our respective rights and completely apart from our competing views on the merits of pseudonymous blogging, I have been uncharitable in my conduct towards the blogger who has used the pseudonym Publius. Earlier this evening, I sent him an e-mail setting forth my apology for my uncharitable conduct. As I stated in that e-mail, I realize that, unfortunately, it is impossible for me to undo my ill-considered disclosure of his identity. For that reason, I recognize that Publius may understandably regard my apology as inadequate.Publius accepts, and The Anonymous Liberal (and John Cole, at Balloon Juice) concurs ...
Though, it appears that Jules Crittendan is a bit jealous, and wants one of those Instant Ignorant Dolt titles for himself ...

Every once in awhile, life imitates The Garlic.
While President Obama went off to the Middle East, for his Cairo Speech, than on to France, for D-Day events, it was on to Paris, for some playtime, and fine dining.
The Hill's Blog Briefing Room picked up on it, as did the AFP, however, we'll run with the ITN version;
President Barack Obama's food taster upsets chefs
Chefs at a top Paris restaurant were upset when US President Barack Obama sent his personal food taster into the kitchen to test his meal.The Flying Monkeys started throwing feces on themselves over it, when, actually, it isn't uncommon, particularly when the POTUS is traveling in another country, for someone to check out the grub.
The incident occured at the chic La Fontaine de Mars restaurant when the President was dining with wife Michelle, President Nicolas Sarkozy and French First Lady Carla Bruni.
The Secret Service agent inspected a security-conscious Mr Obama's roast lamb and seasonal vegetables, a worker at the posh eatery revealed.
Waiter Gabriel de Carvalho, who said Mrs Obama and the Sarkozys all ate fillet of beef, added: "The President arrived with someone who tastes the dishes.
"The man, who appeared to be a Secret Service protection officer, waited in the kitchen while the chef prepared the meal for Mr Obama and his wife Michelle.
"Then he took a fork and tasted a tiny part of both meals before they were sent out to the President and his wife."
He added: "It wasn't very pleasant for the cooks at first, who are obviously very proud about their cooking.
"But they soon understood that it wasn't to test the quality of the dish, but only to ensure the food had not been poisoned in any way.
"The food tester was calm and relaxed and made light of it, so as to cause minimum offence.
"Clearly the food was fine and the president appeared to thoroughly enjoy his meal. All four of them said they had a wonderful meal and President Obama easily smoothed things over by personally thanking the chef afterwards."
Restaurant owner Jacques Boudon confirmed later: "We understand President Obama needs to have someone to test his food for security reasons. The chef understands and we are honoured at at our restaurant."
As for The Garlic, and The Retro Part, we had the jump on this, back in December;
Way back when, one was taught the "5 W's of Journalism" (Who, What, When, Where, and Why - with some throwing in an "H", for How).
For this one, we have to add another - WTF!
NY Car Ticketed Repeatedly With Dead Body Inside
The daughter of 58-year-old George Morales wants everyone to remember her handyman father in a different way, not as a decomposed body found in a van under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway on Wednesday. He'd been dead a month, in a van with four parking tickets.I sure hope this isn't a case, of the ticket writers, be it NYPD, a meter maid, or someone from the N.Y. Traffic Dept. - particularly, from Week #2, and after - seeing (and, no doubt, smelling) the dead body and doing a "Not My Job" thing (at minimum, they could have hit a pay phone and made an anonymous call).
Morales' daughter said her father left their apartment in Washington Heights on May 5 in a van owned by a friend. George Morales was headed for Long Island, but he just vanished.
His daughter suspects George Morales, who suffered from diabetes and heart problems, may have felt ill, and pulled off the road for a nap. A window was cracked. The odor became overpowering. After the car was ticketed each Monday for a month, a marshal, about to tow the van, noticed a body in the back seat.
I mean, you gotta shake your head, and ask, how do you not notice a body, a dead body, sitting in car?

Jesus, it's Sunday, for crying-out-loud.
You really have to be working at it, to want it, oh, so badly, to become an Instant Ignorant Dolt on the weekend.
I mean, you have the luxury of five days, to piss all over yourself, and spread your ignorance out, and then kick back over the weekend to bask in it, or to flail away, attempting to explain, or suppress, your shining moment of dunderheadedness.
But Ed Whelan just couldn't wait ... He had to let it explode, to shoot out of the gate, like a geyser of unfettered PartyofNoican bile.
Whelan, who is the President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, blogs on the Flying Monkey perch of The National Review, and, also worked in the Bush Grindhouse "From just before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, until joining EPPC in 2004, Mr. Whelan was the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice. In that capacity, he advised the White House Counsel’s Office, the Attorney General and other senior DOJ officials, and Departments and agencies throughout the executive branch on difficult and sensitive legal questions."
Hmmm ... Advised on "difficult and sensitive legal questions."
What was going on in the The Bush Grindhouse from 2001, to 2004?
The building of the lies for the invasion and occupation of Iraq ... The building of the Bush (Cheney) Torture Program ... Illegal wiretapping ... The exposure and outing of a covert CIA Agent ...
Which is where we landed today, with IID Whelan.
We'll let Steve Benen set up, succinctly;
On Friday, publius -- Hilzoy's Obsidian Wings co-blogger and someone I've known for several years -- had a blog post criticizing something National Review's Ed Whelan wrote. As blog criticisms go, the piece was acerbic but hardly outrageous -- Whelan made an observation about judges pondering policy outcomes, and publius referenced a Volokh item that took issue with Whelan's assumptions.So, what does our Instant Ignorant Dolt Ed Whelan do?
Whelan, publius said, is "a smart guy with outstanding legal credentials," adding, "He just enjoys playing the role of know-nothing demagogue." The same post referenced a quote from Anonymous Liberal, describing Whelan as "essentially a legal hitman."
He writes a post, outing and exposing the identity, and employer, of publius, as well as sending him a pissy email.
Exposing an Irresponsible Anonymous Blogger
One bane of the Internet is the anonymous blogger who abuses his anonymity to engage in irresponsible attacks. One such blogger who has been biting at my ankles in recent months is the fellow who calls himself “publius” at the Obsidian Wings blog.And, this is a good one, even in his hackery, his moment of Ignorant Doltness, Whelan admits "Well, I’m amused to learn that I was wrong about publius’s lack of legal education."
Then IID Whelan goes on to expose publius, where he works, and hits on him a few more times.
TBogg gets the honors for the most descriptive post on this, saying "Bitter out-of-power wingnut welfare recipient Ed Whelan fucks up explaining a joke, gets called out on it, and then goes Full Metal Asshole ..."
The Anonymous Liberal, who got dragged into this, offers;
Whelan responded by publishing Publius' real identity on the National Review website and sending him an email saying "now who's the hitman, you coward and idiot."
Um, it's still you, Ed, but thanks for proving it.
It's really difficult to put into words just how despicable and childish this behavior is. This is a man who was a Deputy Assistant Attorney General. He's currently the President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. And he's acting like a six-year-old.
John Cole, on Balloon Juice, points out a bit of irony, noting "Shameful, but to be expected. I mean, after all, Publius was defending a racist latina! He had it coming. Good thing Whelan heads a group that deals with ethics. That kind of experience could come in handy during a situation like this."
And, publius (we'll stay honoring his nom-de-plume), also responded to IID Whelan, in his sardonic "Stay Classy Ed Whelan";
And to be clear – the proximate cause was that Whelan got mad that I criticized him in a blog post. More specifically, he’s mad that Eugene Volokh made him look rather silly – and he’s lashing out at me for pointing that out, and publishing my name.How often have we seen this from the Flying Monkeys of the Right Wing Freakshow?
As I told Ed (to no avail), I have blogged under a pseudonym largely for private and professional reasons. Professionally, I’ve heard that pre-tenure blogging (particularly on politics) can cause problems. And before that, I was a lawyer with real clients. I also believe that the classroom should be as nonpolitical as possible – and I don’t want conservative students to feel uncomfortable before they take a single class based on my posts. So I don’t tell them about this blog. Also, I write and research on telecom policy – and I consider blogging and academic research separate endeavors. This, frankly, is a hobby.
All of these things I would have told Ed, if he had asked. Instead, I told him that I have family and professional reasons for not publishing under my own name, and he wrote back and called me an “idiot” and a “coward.” (I’ve posted the email exchange below).
Have a disagreement with their dogma, they don't defend their position, they personally attack the dissenter, the person with a different opinion, a different point-of-view.
Valerie Plame is, certainly, a shining example of this
So Ed Whelan, you join the clown train of The Garlics' growing roster of Ignorant Dolts.
Just remember to change, frequently, as you piss all over yourself.

Yesterday was the 65th Anniversary of D-Day, the epic battle in World War II.
President Obama, and the other Allied leaders paid tribute (See "Obama Hails D-Day Heroes at Normandy") and both the Denver Post, and Guardian UK, have great photo galleries posted.
However this is a post I started last week, getting set aside with the cumbersome week we had, however, as it appeared for Memorial Day, it isn't dated, thanks to the June 6th anniversary date.
While she had a sturdy career, most readers (I presume) know Donna Reed, from, ostensibly, three specific roles;
Mary Hatch, in the Frank Capra classic, "It's A Wonderful Life"But, as it turns out, she was also one of the most requested (or appreciated) "pin-up girls" of World War II
Alma 'Lorene' Burke, the dance club girl (an Oscar-winning role) in another WWII classic, "From Here To Eternity"
And, the all-American mother, Donna Stone, from televisions' "The Donna Reed Show"
This, from a fascinating article that appeared in The New York Times, last week.
Dear Donna: A Pinup So Swell She Kept G.I. Mail
The United States military encouraged the pinup phenomenon as a way to maintain the morale of soldiers far from home. Most of the leading pinups were established stars known for their sex appeal, in particular Betty Grable, blond hair piled high, poured into a swimsuit and photographed from behind, her face turned toward the camera with a smile. There were others: images of Rita Hayworth, Ann Sheridan, Hedy Lamarr and Dorothy Lamour also adorned lockers, barracks walls and the noses of military aircraft.Reed's daughter, Mary Owen, after getting picked off in the Bear Stearns meltdown, started going through her mothers' possessions, and stumbled upon the letters, from the GI's, which Reed, astoundingly, kept (341 of them).
But “Donna Reed probably came closer than any other actress to being the archetypal sweetheart, wife and mother,” said Jay Fultz, author of the 1998 biography “In Search of Donna Reed.” Since she was also slightly younger, newly graduated from ingénue roles and therefore closer in age to the average fighting man, they often wrote to her as if to a sister or the girl next door, confiding moments of homesickness, loneliness, privation and anxiety.
The soldiers wrote (some gushed) to Reed;

Later in life, however, Ms. Reed became an ardent antiwar campaigner, serving during the Vietnam era as co-chairwoman of a 285,000-member group called Another Mother for Peace and working for Senator Eugene McCarthy in the 1968 presidential race. In his biography, Mr. Fultz quotes her as saying that “she looked forward to a time when ‘19-year-old boys will no longer be taken away to fight in old men’s battles.’ ”Check out Dear Donna: A Pinup So Swell She Kept G.I. Mail, for it speaks to an era that yesterday was all about.
We've done a few posts on the nomination of Appeals Circuit Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor (Here, Here, and Here), noting that the Flying Monkeys of the Right Wing Freak Show are in a tizzy, and unloading their smears on Judge Sotomayor.
Well, it seems that a group, supporting Judge Sotomayor, has popped up, and David Neiwert, on Crooks and Liars, has the details.
We Stand With Sonia Sotomayor
The Right is throwing every little bit of ugliness they can at Sonia Sotomayor in hopes of derailing her nomination to the Supreme Court.You can visit Presente, for more information, or to sign up and be counted.
They've called her a racist. They've compared the National Council of La Raza to the Ku Klux Klan. They've called her a "lightweight" and "anti-white." They've suggested she lacks the right temperament, since she's just another stereotypical hot-blooded Latina. They've even suggested she's unfit to be a judge because she menstruates.
OK, we get it, fellas. The kid gloves are off.
In the event anyone ever wonder, The Garlic, here, generates $0 (zero) revenue.
While at various times (not currently), we've had a decent rating, and peak readership, the consistency of such hasn't been to the point that posting the ubiquitous Google Ads (or some other packager) would start sweeping in the dollars.
I write The Garlic, for a variety of reasons, including, for the love of it, just to keep in writing shape, to exercise the creativity, take it out for a spin, while, hopefully, being readable and entertaining.
We cross-post on various other sites (including being a Contributing Editor on Michael Stickings' The Reaction), all without seeing any moohla.
We have, in the past, made money writing, working for newspapers, magazines, both staff and freelance, and writing stand-up material.
Yet, each month, almost like clockwork, some new blog, or "social media site" sends me a fawning email, raving about The Garlic's content, and that I should join them, and write on their new blog, or "social media site".
After viewing said sites, most of the time, I reply back, and inquire as to if payment, or revenue-sharing, is offered, and always, always, the reply (if one comes), is a "No", but that I will get exposure and "plenty of links".
So, we limit our cross-posting, as last time I tried, my corner store doesn't accept "links" as payment.
All this leads up to a wonderful raving, over-the-top video of Harlan Ellison, that has been out there for awhile, detailing a request he received, for use of his material, and the expectation of doing it without payment
Harlan Ellison -- Pay the Writer
Blogger Max Boot wrote about it yesterday, as did James Joyner, on his Outside The Beltway blog.
Joyner offers some amusing comments;
Ellison is an all-time great and he’s been getting paid to write — and been famous — since before I was born. So, his, um, output is worth worth than most. But the fact of the matter is that there are plenty of people out there who are willing to do all kinds of writing without getting paid. Most op-eds you see in the major papers are published free or for an insultingly nominal fee. Most blogs don’t generate enough to pay for operating expenses.There's plenty of Garlic posts (as well as three childrens books and a screenplay) to wade through (and, we are approaching our 3,000th post), so, if anyone out there wants a writer, and can pay said writer, email me, and lets talk

Full disclosure: Spiegel agreed to be the interviewed by the Palisadian-Post under the guideline that no controversial questions would be asked. He also would not let this reporter audiotape the interview.
So, to be clear: no asking about the third founder who was pushed out of Snapchat, or sexting, or privacy, or how Snapchat will ever make money, or the time Mark Zuckerberg tried to buy Snapchat, or anything, really. Let's just keep it cool.
Is this the greatest disclosure of our time?
It's certainly some next-level PR handling! Of course it reflects just as poorly on the Palisadian-Post to agree to a non-interview with Snapchat's Ferrari-driving boy-chief. But it also shows just how insulated Mr. Spiegel has become early in his career as software prince—or maybe they just don't want him talking about that pesky lawsuit? | <urn:uuid:7c44e8ed-3c62-49ab-af74-2fff6dd7c2be> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://valleywag.gawker.com/snapchat-founder-requires-controversy-free-interview-1442160637 | 2016-10-27T01:00:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721027.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00156-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978735 | 185 | [

On Guy’s Grocery Games, Guy Fieri loves to test the chefs by making them go through a number of obstacles, like suddenly having their main ingredients go missing from the market’s shelves or having them stick to a meager budget. In the No Carts Allowed game, Guy makes sure the chefs can’t use their grocery carts. Instead they must resort to using just their arms and hands, their aprons, or, if he’s feeling generous, a tote bag to carry all the ingredients they gather. With the Grocery Games logo embossed on durable cotton twill, this bag makes grocery shopping a breeze thanks to its long 11-inch handles, thick material and roomy interior.
You can buy your own tote bag here, or you can enter to win one for free from FN Dish. We’re giving 10 lucky, randomly selected readers each a Guy’s Grocery Games tote bag, and all you have to do to enter to win is leave a comment below telling us what your favorite game on the show is and why. For run-downs of the games, see here for Season 1 and here for Season 2.
You may only comment once to be considered, and you don’t have to purchase anything to win; a purchase will not increase your chances of winning. Odds depend on total number of entries. Void where prohibited. Only open to legal residents of the U.S, D.C and Puerto Rico, and you must be at least 18 to win. For the first day of the giveaway, all entries (answers) must be entered between 11:30am EST on Thursday, July 17, 2014 and 11:30am EST on Thursday, July 24, 2014. Subject to full official rules.

Ortiz Hits 2 More HRs Vs Twins [VIDEO]
Apparently David Ortiz has a long memory. The Minnesota Twins gave up on a young Ortiz and every time he comes back to Minneapolis he makes the Twins pay for that mistake. Last night, 2 more home runs in a 9-4 Sox win. That’s 4 home runs in 2 games this week and there’s another game to be played this afternoon. So far in the series Ortiz is 7-for-10.

Austin Technology Incubator's SEAL Demo Day Is Today
Interested in seeing some of the promising new startup out of the Austin Technology Incubator's SEAL (Student Entrepreneur Acceleration & Launch) program? The nine companies graduating from the incubator are presenting today at the SEAL Demo Day at UT Austin. SEAL is a three month long program--based on the popular accelerator model--which aims to help students decide if they want to pursue their start-up ideas, and hopefully gain some funding to build out their companies. | <urn:uuid:7feacbc7-1cbc-4237-a776-62dabb2111b2> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.texastechpulse.com/austin_technology_incubator's_seal_demo_day_is_today/s-0051206.html | 2016-10-24T23:38:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719815.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00465-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.920282 | 112 | [

I save most of the better take-home containers we get from eating out at restaurants, some are quite sturdy. Whenever any of my married kids comes over for a meal at my house, I'll usually send some leftovers home with them for their lunch the next day, even if it's just several brownies out of the pan. It saves them a little money and they get the benefits of Mom's leftovers. It even helps us use up bigger meal leftovers as well.
It saves them from having to remember to bring back my better refrigerator containers or use baggies/plastic wrap/foil. I like walking out of a restaurant with leftovers. I imagine they would get the same "joy" coming from Mom's kitchen.
By leslie from Portsmouth, VA
This is truly such a lovely idea but please only reuse recycle #2, #4 and #5 containers because all of the other containers, including styrofoam, contain harmful chemicals that will leach into food and beverages after their first use.
This is a lovely, thoughtful idea, and has the benefit of reserving your "better" storage containers. Places like Applebee's, for example, have excellent "to-go" boxes. Seems a shame to toss them after just one use. And of course we don't reheat in those plastic containers.
Yes JPJo! exactly...Olive garden just started using some really nice take away containers as well.
And, thanks for the reminder-warning Deeli. Just out of curiousity, I did check my stash of containers and most were #2, but considering the idea didn't contain the suggestion of long term storage or re-heating, I wouldn't think twice about using a "questionable" numbered container for simply transporting food.

Daniel McKenna and Arthur Kierans teamed up last weekend to win the Midlands Motor Club Moto Stages Rally. With Daniels regular navigator Andrew Grennan sidelined for a few weeks, Arthur jumped at the chance of navigating and they pulled off the win by a narrow margin of only 2 seconds after 9 stages. Donegal’s Declan and Brian Boyle were also on a serious pace throughout the day and any minor mistake would have been enough for either crew to relinquish the lead.
Daniel and Arthur started with a blistering time on the first stage, 6 seconds ahead of the Boyles with Donagh Kelly 3rd in an EVO 9, but Donagh would later retire with gearbox problems. By first service their lead was cut to 3 seconds after three stages and on the middle loop despite their best efforts the Scotshouse/Aghabog pairing could only stretch the lead to 4 seconds as the Boyle brothers piled on the pressure. Just behind the top two there was an even more personal battle going on between Maurice Moffett/Patrick Brides and son Richard Moffett/Martin Connolly. Richard was quickest of the Moffett’s through the first loop in the infamous starlet but the threat of being beaten by his son spurred Maurice and Patrick on to eventually take 3rd overall, albeit in a more powerful class 14 starlet. Back in front, Daniel stretched his lead to 6 seconds through stages 7 and 8 but on the last stage of the day the Boyle brothers threw caution to the wind and pulled 4 seconds back but this wasn’t enough. Back at the Abbey Hotel in Roscommon Daniel Mc Kenna and Arthur Kierans were crowned 2012 Midlands Stages winners. Incidentally this is the second year running Daniel has won this event.
To quote the wise words of a local “hero” there were two Kierans’ navigating for two Mc Kenna’s in two Millington powered escorts! Young Mac Kierans got the call up late in the week to sit with Jim McKenna but their day wasn’t quite as straightforward. Jim’s immaculate class 14 escort bared all the hallmarks of a high-speed spin but nevertheless they got away with only cosmetic damage and finished 12th over-all and 3rd in class 14. Cavan’s Paddy Boyle and Marty Sherlock made a return to the stages after a lengthy 3 year sabbatical but refound their form and set some great times as the day progressed to finish 14th o/a. Next of the locals was Jack Maguire and Stephen McElroy in 15th o/a. Mickey Conlon had Darren McCague on the notes and they too had a troubled day, picking up a puncture and dropping at least two minutes to finish in 17th over-all. Maudabawn men Mervin Wedlock and Damien McCabe were next up in 18th o/a in their class 13 escort. Martin McPhillips and Ciaran Tynan had a steady run in the McPhillips Engineering backed twin cam to win class 11 and finish 20th over-all. Martin and Ciaran had been involved in a great class battle with Carrickmacross men Johno Doogan and JP McAree but unfortunately the South Monaghan crew encountered alternator belt problems through the middle loop which ultimately forced them into retirement.
Local midlands crew and regular night navigation contenders Packie Duffy and Michael Reilly had a good run on their home event to win class 3 in their Type R Honda. Colin Duffy and Sam Johnston would usually be rivals on the night navigation scene but teamed up for their local stages event. Unfortunately their challenge came to a sudden stop on stage 2 after setting a great time on the opening test. Cavan’s Brendan O’Reilly had Mark Hamill on the notes and they had an enjoyable run through the narrow Roscommon roads to take 2nd in class 9 behind Pa Bellew and Andres Reid.
Not to be outdone by the Moffett battle at the head of the main field, David Moffett and Andrew Spears, in the 3rd of the Moffett starlets, took stage wins on all 6 stages of the Junior Rally to take a convincing win. Not only this but David’s time on the opening stage was a 5th fastest time in the main field with brother Richard setting 4th fastest, such was the pace of these youngsters. Longford’s Barry and Sean Brady were 2nd in the junior rally in their civic ahead of another local crew John Collum and Caitriona Spollen also in a civic.
So another win for the Scanbitz escort and an almost perfect day in the Moffett stable. Best of luck to all travelling local crews for this weekends circuit of Kerry Stages.

Club member Emmet Sherry made the trip to Wales at the weekend to contest the Bulldog Rally as navigator for upcoming Fermanagh driver Jon Armstrong in a LHD ST Fiesta. This was only Jon’s second ever pacenote event and following a 13th overall result on the recent Omagh Spring Rally confidence was high in the Armstrong camp. Jon and Emmet started well, just 7 tenths of a second off the fastest overall BRC Challenge competitor after taking it reasonable steady through the first stage. On stage 2 Jon and Emmet had a good charge through the 8-mile stage and were 12 seconds faster than the nearest Challenge competitor. Unfortunately stage 3 was to be their last, unaware that they had picked up a puncture on a rough cut up hairpin Jon entered a tight right hand corner following a series of fast flowing corners and soon realised they were in trouble. The car just would not turn in at all and the result was slipping the car off a drop and rolling 2 times. The accident ended Jon and Emmet’s event, as the car was too far off the road and had a fair amount of damage, a disappointing end after a great start. Jon and Emmet plan to continue their assault on the BRC challenge and hope to have their car ready for the Jim Clarke Rally.

Dalal al-Ziben holds her son and kisses his head. Al-Ziben never thought she would have another baby considering her husband has been inside an Israeli prison for 16 years and will likely never get out.
“When they arrested my husband I was 18 years old,” she says.
As is expected from her in conservative Palestinian society she says she has been faithful to her husband. She has simply been waiting, hoping her husband may one day be released from incarceration.
It hasn’t happened and likely never will because he is serving 27 life sentences and an additional 25 years for helping plan a deadly bombing in a Jerusalem market. An act of violence she says he has admitted to. | <urn:uuid:2113808f-960c-4529-a58f-f0bd1d137441> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://libertyunyielding.com/2013/02/09/terrorists-accused-of-smuggling-sperm-out-of-prison/ | 2016-10-26T00:21:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720471.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00527-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.988456 | 148 | [

Both "Server" and "Response" are objects of ASP.NET and both are used to transfer a user from one page to another page. Logically both methods are used for the same purpose but still there are some technical differences between both which we need to understand. Differences between both are as follows:
Syntactically both are different. Syntax for sending a user to page "example.aspx" for both method is as below,
Response.Redirect involves an extra round-trip to the server whereas Server.Transfer() conserves server resources by avoiding that extra round-trip. Server.Transfer() just changes the focus of the page by directly communicating with server.
Round-trip - Response.Redirect() first sends request for new page to the browser, then browser sends that request to the web-server, and after that your page changes. But Server.Transfer() directly communicate with the server to change the page hence it saves an extra round-trip (to the browser) in the whole process.
If you are using Server.Transfer() then you can directly access the values, controls and properties of the previous page which you can't do with Response.Redirect().
Suppose you have redirected user from Page1.aspx to Page2.aspx using Response.Redirect() then when user is transffered to Page2.aspx then Pag1.aspx has been flushed from the server's memory and hence no information of previous page are accessible, unless the developer explicitly saved the information using some other methods like session, cookie, application, cache etc. But in case of Server.Transfer variables can stay in scope and Page2.aspx can access values, controls, etc. of previous page Page1.aspx as it's still in memory, because Server.Transfer just changes the focus from Page1.aspx to Page2.aspx, so in this case browser doesn't know that any change is happen and which is why with Server.Transfer() we can access values of previous page.
Response.Redirect() changes the URL in the browser's address bar, so they can be bookmarked. Whereas Server.Transfer() retains the original URL in the browser's address bar, it just replaces the contents of the previous page with the new one and hence bookmarking is not works properly.
Server.Transfer() directly communicate with the server for new page request, and hence browser doesn't aware that there is any change happened. Whereas Response.Redirect() first send request (for new page) to browser, then further processing will be performed, so here browser knows that there is some change in the browser window that's why it changes the URL in the address bar.
We can't call it as a problem "No change of address in the browser address bar" it depends on how you see it. This is a good if you see it from security point of view, but it is a problem if you refresh your page or you wanted to bookmark that page. Browsers perform Refresh and Bookmark operations on the URL which is present in the address bar, but as we know Server.Transfer() doesn't changes the URL, so sometimes its a problem with this method.
Response.Redirect() can be used for both .aspx and .html pages, whereas Server.Transfer() can be used only for .aspx pages and is specific to ASP and ASP.NET.
With Response.Redirect() you can redirect the user to the both type of pages .html or .aspx as below,
But Server.Transfer() only work with .asp or .aspx page as show below
Response.Redirect() can be used to redirect to an external websites, whereas we cannot use Server.Transfer() to redirect to an external website. We can use Server.Transfer() to redirect only inside the same website.
Let's say on click of a link I want to redirect user to http://www.yahoo.com/ . With Response.Redirect() you can redirect user to the external site, but in case of Server.Transfer() wouldn't let you perform this operation, because Yahoo.com resides on different server than yours. Server.Transfer() only work with the .asp or .aspx pages present inside your web application.
Now the question arises which to use and when to use? Mostly Server.Transfer() method is recommended to use because it is faster because it saves a round-trip in the process of redirecting from one page to another, but some people says that Server.Transfer() is not recommended to use because operations typically flows through several different pages due to which you will lose the correct URL of the page in the browser address bar, but again all depends on your situation and requirements.
Server.Transfer() also allows more flexibility as you can use HTTPContext.Items to pass variables between pages, use Server.Transfer() when you need to pass context items. Otherwise use Response.Redirect() as it shows correct URL in the address bar.

There are many similarities between the general characteristics of India and China, the world’s two most populous countries. India is huge, constantly developing, and the presence of over 1.2 Billion people help make it very, very interesting and promising in many ways.
It’s also similar to China in the sense that one wouldn’t dream to buy there without solid legal representation. While countries that we’ve so far covered, like Singapore, Hong-Kong and Japan promise a generally honest and reliable transaction basis, with varying degrees of difficulty due to language and custom, government policies etc – India, like China, is unfortunately not as reliable.
While you can and regularly will find excellent deals and developments in India at any given time, it’s essential to emphasize that shoddiness, corruption and plain cheating are, if not rife, quite common. Developers charge in advance, then go out of business or disappear on you, people sometimes sell the same property to multiple owners, or just plain steal your money and walk. So, before we delve into specifics, let’s keep in mind that, in India as well as in China, one gets, at the very least, a reputable and verifiable law office to represent them, before they even consider jumping in. If you ask me, you’d also want to sign up with a well-connected, reputable, registered and licensed realtor or two (practically, a buyer’s agent) – you’ll pay these guys a percent or two, but the combination of the two will save you from flops, sour deals and rotten apples – and India, like China, has a fair few of those.
Again, in similar fashion to many of its Asian neighbours, and probably not in little part due to the financial mayhem in the west – India’s experiencing a huge property boom. While prices haven’t been closely monitored thus far by any reputable international organizations, a brief scan of gripes and moans on Indian property forums reveals that, if you could buy 2-bedroom, brand new or newish developments in Delhi, Mumbai and immediately adjacent areas (pictured on right) for up to 50K USD as late as six or seven years ago – these will now set you back anywhere between 200-400K USD.
Rent, as you may suspect, hasn’t caught up, and average returns around large metropolitan centres have slumped down to something like 2.8%. Bubbles tend to pop, and there may be a slump coming soon. With the size of the country and population, though, as well as the stable slowing of the economy and depreciating Rupee – this doesn’t necessarily mean a violent crash and burn, as foreign investors tend to “save the day” and inject some serious funds into the economy. This has been happening in India these days – certainly, if developments are anything to judge by, these haven’t slowed down a bit.
Deal mining is also highly lucrative in India, which has a large number of erupting rural metropolitan centres, with population explosion dictating new residences being completed virtually on a daily basis – if you buy into a legit new development for 30-50K USD, which is still possible out of the biggest population hubs in India, it’s hard to imagine you’ll lose huge amounts of money – there are alot of people in India, the rupee is cheap at the moment, and these people all have to live somewhere.
Income tax is fairly high, but capped at 30% (in reality, you’ll be paying something like 20-30%, depending on portfolio size). There’s also a 1% “Wealth tax” if you’re making over 66K USD. The above facts make hiring a local accountant a necessity, as you’ll want to claim as much as you can for depreciation, expenses etc.
Property tax is negligible, and so is capital gain tax (unless you hold for less than three years, then it could go up to 15%, so that by and large that income tax is probably all you’d really need to consider to be profitable.
Previous restrictions on foreign ownership and investment have largely been lifted as far as real estate ownership is concerned – while “permission” in the form of a Foreign Inward Remittance (FIRC) document is required, this can be easily enough obtained from your bank – and yes, Indian banks will lend money for property purchases, secured against the properties themselves.
Complications, Turn-ons and Turnoffs
Unfortunately, in India’s case, this is much harder to clearly categorize (which is also why this article doesn’t have a “part 2”). Not because there aren’t any, but because India is, well – eclectic, to put it mildly. It’s hard to categorize them as “stable”, “unstable”, “unpredictable”, “predictable” or any of the terms we could, at least loosely, associate with any of the previous countries we’ve covered.
Government policy, while not iron-fisted and rife with capricious about-turns like China’s, is also very far from Japan or Singapore/HK’s iron rigidness and relative safety. They’re far more amorphous. Developments happen, but rarely finish on time. Terms are set in contracts, but rarely are these upheld to the letter (I did mention “get a lawyer”, didn’t I?). Reviews are widely mixed, prices wildly fluctuate, and while the economy is doing great as a general rule and prices are sky-rocketing, there are huge disparities in the country between areas as near as two neighbourhoods or a city away.
I guess the bottom line is, in much similar fashion to China again, that India is probably not the best of places to jump into without being intimately involved with it – or at least without being comfortable with a completely reliable and highly recommended team on the ground – and one that has a track record on delivering to foreign investors.
And while in Singapore, Hong-Kong and Japan, reliable is the norm – in India, like in China, you’ll have to visit, personally, a few times, and look darn hard. Once you’ve conquered that particular mountain, there are very attractive deals, potential and room for growth in India – which makes it one of the more attractive – albeit speculative – Asian real estate hubs.
Would love to hear your comments – as I’m sure there are more than a few experienced individuals of Indian background reading this – pure statistics dictate. 😉
