Alert 2010-10
Subject: Counterfeit Cashier's Checks
Date: August 30, 2010
Description: First National Bank of Gillette
Counterfeit Official Checks of First National Bank of Gillette, Gillette, WY
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks; All State Banking Authorities; Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Chairman, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Director, Office of Thrift Supervision; Conference of State Bank Supervisors; Deputy Comptrollers (districts); Assistant Deputy Comptrollers; District Counsel; and All Examining Personnel
The above-named bank has reported that counterfeit official checks issued in the bank's name and using a correct routing number of 102301050 are being presented for payment nationwide in connection with a mystery shopping scam.
The counterfeit checks resemble the bank's authentic items but may be identified by the following traits: the instruments are blue in color and include the following security statement in the top border: "PRINTED WATERMARK PAPER COLORED BACKGROUND." Another security statement appears beneath the dollar amount line, which reads: "This document has a multi-color background, a micro-print signature line, and a holographic foil title; 'absent' of these features will indicate a copy."
Items presented to date have been made payable in varying amounts, with the majority presenting for $3,250, contain a remitter name of Bart P Burrows, and include check numbers in the numbering range of 329629 and higher. The counterfeit items do not contain the hologram.
Due to possible variations between the appearance of the bank's authentic items and the counterfeit items associated with the scam, officials of First National Bank of Gillette suggest they be contacted to verify authenticity of the bank's official checks if received by an unknown entity.
Potential victims are solicited via e-mail from an individual using the name of Neshan Balian. The solicitation purports to originate from Secret Shopper, alleges to be a member of the Mystery Shopping Providers Association (MSPA), and outlines the duties of a secret shopper. The assignment centers on investigating local wire services. The letter states that the check the victim receives is to be taken to the bank "for instant cashing" and then he or she is to proceed directly to the wire center to immediately wire money to the location that will be e-mailed to them. There is a short application form that is to be completed and e-mailed back. The letter may be signed by Trevor Williams, Recruiting Department.
For additional information and guidance, and to verify the authenticity of First National Bank of Gillette's official checks, please contact the bank's Bookkeeping Department at 319 South Gillette Avenue, Gillette, WY 82716, by telephone at (307) 686-3340, or by fax at (307) 686-3390.
Consumers who receive a counterfeit or fictitious item and associated material should file complaints with the following agencies, as appropriate:
Additional information concerning this matter that you believe should be brought to the attention of the OCC may be forwarded to:
For additional information regarding other types of financial fraud, please visit the OCC's anti-fraud resource at: https://www.occ.gov/topics/consumer-protection/fraud-resources/index-fraud-resources.html.

2009 Audi Melges 32 World Championship Preview
21 September 2009
As published by Offshore Rules
The International Melges 32 Class comes of age this week, with the hosting of its inaugural World Championship in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. There are few more prestigious venues for a championship. The luxurious surroundings of the host Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and the classic sailing conditions which the waters off Porto Cervo regularly produces makes for a heddy mix and with the continued backing of class sponsor Audi, the 2009 Melges 32 World Championship is shaping up to be an truly amazing regatta.
Whilst the core of the Melges 32 Class has undoubtedly been centred in Italy, this Championship has attracted competitors from across the globe and significantly around than ten percent of the twenty-nine boat entry is made up from non-Italian teams. There are also three US teams, a crew from Czechoslovakia, one from Monaco, another from France, as well as three British entries.
The Melges 32' Class's has a strictly enforced amateur, owner-driver rule but up to three professional sailors per boat are also allowed. Consequently the dockside here in Porto Cervo is awash with the great and the good of the international yacht-racing scene. Amongst the many high profile tacticians racing this week is American 49er ace Jonathan McKee who will be calling tactics on for Claudio Recchi on Team 93 and current Melges 24 World and European Champion helm Lorenzo Bressani from Italy is sailing as tactician aboard Lorenzo Santini and Alessio Marinelli's Uka Uka Racing. Emirates Team New Zealand's Ray Davies has been drafted in to call the shots for Luigi Melegari on Matrix Cortina D'ampezzo, 470 dinghy ace Nathan Wilmot is sailing on Peiter Taselar's on-form US entry Bliksem and Star Olympian Freddie Loof is providing the tactical smarts aboard Filippo Pacinotti's Brontolo.
If this season's major Melges 32 regattas give any sort of guide to form for this World Championship, then the winners of the four-regatta 2009 Audi Sailing Series, Carlo Aberini's Calvi Network must be considered amongst the favourites. Equally in the frame is the US team aboard Pieter Taselaar's Bliksem, who won the Miami Grand Prix regatta at the beginning of the year, before moving their campaign to Europe where they bulleted both of the final Audi Sailing Series events in some style. Italian Claudio Recchi aboard Team 93 has been successful in this class since its inception, winning the Key West on at least one occasion and claiming the Audi Sailing Series title in 2008. Few people know more about what it takes to steer one of these boats to maximum effect and we fully expect him to be in the hunt come the end of this regatta. If local knowledge plays any part in success or failure here in Porto Cervo then Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino with tactician Adrian Stead should definitely be one to watch. Onorato's house is located next door to the YCCS and with Farr 40 and Mumm 30 World Titles already under his belt, he has an enviable pedigree of success in high performance one-design keelboats.
Racing at the 2009 Melges 32 World Championship starts on Wednesday with the ten race series running through until Sunday. There are still two days to go before racing commences, but the bulk of the thirty strong fleet have been in town since last week; working through the registration process, meticulously preparing their boats as well as getting in some precious on-the-water training time.
Offshore Rules will be on site in Porto Cervo all week to bring you the most up to date information on how this regatta plays out, including video action and commentary from the water as well as on the dock sailor interviews. You can see all of our output on the Regatta Live! Section of the Offshore Rules website, so make sure you check back regularly for the latest updates.

A Nature-Inspired Christmas
My holiday decorations are (admittedly) outliers of my normal style — they're sentimental, inherited, a bit cheesy and I love them all. In another life, however, I have the same restrained good taste as Roy and Ola Norberg. Using mostly natural materials, they created holiday decor that's pretty, elegant, and timeless.
The Norbergs live with their three children in a turn-of-the-century house in Sweden, which they've spent 8 years renovating. Their holiday style is just as lovely as their home — a few metal stars, a nativity set from Malta, and stockings hung on Chritsmas Eve mingle with pinecones, prison hyacinths, and apples. It's perfect inspiration for those of us who enjoy nature-inspired decorations — or those of us who need ideas for last-minute holiday decor.

fancy plaid late-winter jacket
Added Feb 18, 2009
Phoenicia, New Y...
i love doing jackets because you get so much use out of them, somehow i can't quite change the patterns a whole bunch yet to make it completely mine. the only thing i really changed was the length – the original pattern is much shorter. i almost didn't have enough fabric, so the cutting out almost made me lose my mind (the fabric being plaid didn't help much…). i really like this one, i learned a bunch of things, never done that style collar before nor bound buttonholes and pockets. the pattern is from bwof 01/09.
Material Notes
almost flannelly plaid cotton from the oilily outlet in alkmaar, fleece lining from joann's.
me! and my mom for giving me tons of tips!

The buttons are my favourite part. I love how consistently different they are from the rest of the jacket.
Feb 25, 2009, 10.37 AMby singingc8

We are proud that The Creative Coalition's Teacher's Making a Difference Program was recently featured in the U.S. Department of Education's Blog. It's nice to see that so many organizations are showing teachers the respect they deserve. While at the Sundance Film festival, I stopped into the Creative Coalition's Teachers Making A Difference Award luncheon, where Tim Daly, actor and president of the Creative Coalition, kicked off the organization's 7th annual award luncheon. "The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, and the great teacher inspires … and we are here to celebrate the teachers who inspired their students to great heights," said Daly as he introduced two actors and their honored teachers.
The Creative Coalition, a nonprofit social and public advocacy organization of the arts and entertainment industry, each year pays homage to teachers who have had an impact on some of Hollywood's actors. This year, actor Bill Pullman, starring in NBC's 1600 Penn, as well as a new role in May in the Summer, a Sundance premiere, and Joey Lauren Adams, known for her breakout role in Chasing Amy and soon to be seen in Blue Caprice, were reunited with teachers who have made a real difference in their lives.
Long before his name appeared on a marquee, Pullman taught theater at Montana State University, and after being convinced by his students to give the film industry a shot, Pullman found himself working under the tutelage of Paul Austin, actor and founder at the Liberty Free Theatre in Liberty, N.Y.
Pullman credits Austin for launching his career after he got Pullman involved in an Off Broadway production that received rave reviews, and put him on a fast track to Hollywood.
"When you teach, you look for something in your students that you don't know," Austin said after receiving the award from Pullman. "You ask lots of questions, and you eventually get out of the way, so your student can excel."
Also honored at the luncheon was recently retired North Little Rock High West drama teacher Carol Ann McAdams. Joey Lauren Adams said that Carol Ann changed her life during high school. Adams found herself an outcast by not making the cheerleading squad, so eventually she joined the drama club, a setting she said was for geeks and outsiders, but it helped her find her identity.
McAdams said she felt blessed to have Adams in her class. "She was so talented and I told her through her critiques that she could become a professional actress." McAdams continued, "She always has stayed in touch with me. Recently, she told me that she had kept my critique – and for a student to listen to you, trust you, believe you and love you and then take something that you've said to them long ago in a class, and do something with it, that's what makes a difference in a teacher's life."
McAdams is a true proponent of arts education in our schools. She found that many students would not have wanted to come to school if not for drama or art class or music. She said she always pushed the envelope and helped show her students what they were capable of achieving, leading them to lives they never knew they could have. "If you can make a student believe that they have something else to give, and if the arts will help that student find a niche, then that's what it's all about," said McAdams.
According to a report The Arts and Achievement in at-Risk Youth released last year from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), at-risk students who have access to the arts in-or out-of-school also tend to have better academic results, better workforce opportunities, and more civic engagement.
Another 2012 arts education report from the Department of Education found that the availability of theater and dance instruction at elementary schools has significantly declined in the last ten years. To address this decline, ED is allowing states more flexibility under the No Child Left Behind law, and is making the arts and humanities a competitive priority in the Promise Neighborhood competition.
Secretary Arne Duncan noted at the report's release that "a well-rounded education is simply too vital to our students' success to let the teaching of the arts and humanities erode." Pullman and Adams are award-winning proof.

Miranda Kerr: Glamour Gal in Sydney!
Miranda Kerr glams it up as she arrives at Sun Studios on Monday (August 8) in Sydney, Australia.
The 28-year old Aussie model wore a black trench coat, high heeled shoes, and carried a bright red bag as she walked briskly into the studio.

Miranda recently spoke about returning to Sydney to hit the runway in a revealing swimsuit for the first time since giving birth to her son, Flynn.
"I am a little nervous about getting back on the runway after just having a baby seven months ago in a swimsuit," Miranda said.
"But you know, I have been doing my squats and I started Pilates as well as my usual yoga routine," she continued.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has several core ideas that should be addressed in your organization's SOA journey:
- A set of services that a business wants to provide to their customers, partners, or other areas of an organization
- An architectural style that requires a service provider, mediation, and service requestor with a service description
- A set of architectural principles, patterns and criteria that address characteristics such as modularity, encapsulation, loose coupling, separation of concerns, reuse and composability
- A programming model complete with standards, tools and technologies that supports web services, REST services or other kinds of services
- A middleware solution optimized for service assembly, orchestration, monitoring, and management
100 SOA Questions Asked and Answered
In this excerpt from the book on 100 SOA questions, IBM experts answer some of your most important inquiries.
With the convergence of mobile, social, cloud, and big data analytics, SOA is more important than ever before for offering insight and integrating systems from end to end. By applying Service Oriented Architecture principles, an enterprise can manage and govern business and IT transformation, setting them apart from their competitors. The benefits range from seamless integration, cloud enabled solutions, holistic business insight and agility to externalized APIs. SOA integrates the front office, back office and the Internet of Things.
Middleware, best practices and patterns speed the Service Oriented Architecture journey and amplify the value it creates. IBM has over a decade of experience with SOA and a broad portfolio of capabilities, spanning integration, processes, operational control and services. SOA is "simply good design" — resting on a solid foundation of technology and practices that support your organization's journey into the changing world of mobile, social, cloud and big data.

- FA Cup
Mancini: Aguero can rescue PL season
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has backed Sergio Aguero to boost his side's Premier League title chase after impressing in Sunday's 4-0 FA Cup rout over Leeds United.
Aguero, 24, scored two goals and provided the assist for Carlos Tevez's strike as City booked a quarter-final clash with Barnsley and Mancini believes the Argentinian's sizzling form could help bridge Manchester United's 12-point lead atop the Premier League.
"I hope Sergio will be like this from now to the end of the season," he said. "If he is and our other strikers continue to score until the end, then I think the championship is not finished.
"In Italy we say a game like this is a 'brodino' - a starter. I hope it can happen that we start to win in the Premier League again.
"This is possible, but I think we should always be confident in ourselves, even when we're 12 points behind at this moment. We lost seven points in three games and this can happen for any team.
"But now United play a lot of games. At this moment they deserve to stay there because they have been better than us and scored more goals than us.
"We are unlucky this year [with injuries]. Gareth Barry was nothing, but I think he will be ready for Chelsea. We hope we can recover Vinny [Vincent Kompany] for the next game. Javier [Garcia], we will see tomorrow or uesday, but I don't think it's big problem."

Carrizo Oil & Gas Announces Sale of Its Interest in the Huntington Field in the UK North Sea for $184 Million
By: Marketwired .
Dec. 28, 2012 06:30 AM
HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 12/28/12 -- Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRZO) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its wholly owned subsidiary Carrizo UK Huntington Limited, and all of its interest in the Huntington Field in the UK North Sea to a subsidiary of Iona Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE: INA) for a cash consideration of $184 million. Carrizo expects to net approximately $116 million, after payment of approximately $70 million to retire and close our UK credit facility, working capital adjustments and transaction related costs. This transaction is expected to close on or before the end of January, and is subject to customary closing conditions and purchase price adjustments.
Carrizo President and CEO, S. P. "Chip" Johnson, IV commented on the sale, "It has been a long and bumpy road for all participants in this project since Carrizo geologists defined the Huntington exploration prospect and our partners drilled the discovery wells; now that the project is close to first production and its value much more tangible, our reinvestment opportunities for the net proceeds from this sale are so compelling that we have made the decision to harvest our investment. We expect to apply the net proceeds of this transaction to fund a portion of our 2013 capital investment needs and for other general corporate purposes."
Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. is a Houston-based energy company actively engaged in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. Our current operations are principally focused in proven, producing oil and gas plays primarily in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, the Niobrara Formation in Colorado, the Barnett Shale in North Texas, and the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia.
Statements in this news release that are not historical facts, including but not limited to those related to timing and levels of production, production mix, the proposed sales transaction (including timing, purchase price, adjustments, net receipts and effects thereof), the Company's or management's intentions, beliefs, expectations, hopes, projections, assessment of risks, estimations, plans or predictions for the future, results of the Company's strategies, timing of completion and drilling of wells, and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations. Although Carrizo believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include purchase price adjustments, actions by the purchaser and other actions by governmental authorities, joint venture partners, industry partners, lenders and other third parties, market and other conditions, capital needs and uses, commodity price changes, effects of the global economy on exploration activity, results of and dependence on exploratory drilling activities, operating risks, right-of-way and other land issues, availability of capital and equipment, weather, and other risks described in Carrizo's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's fencing team opened its head-to-head season at its first Northeast Fencing Conference (NFC) competition hosted by Brown University last Saturday. The Cardinal and Gray won four of its six bouts, scoring wins against Wellesley (17-10), New Hampshire (22-5), Boston University (24-3) and UMass-Amherst (26-1). MIT's two losses came courtesy of the Pioneers of Sacred Heart University (12-15) and the Judges of Brandeis (13-14).
Senior Cordelia Link paced the Engineers, winning an impressive 17 of her 18 matches for the foil squad. Lindley Graham (14-4) and Jenna Caldwell (12-6) combined to help MIT clinch 43 of 54 points and wins at foil in five of the six matches.
MIT's sabre crew, led by Molly Kozminsky (15-2), picked up 39 of 54 points. Freshman Annabeth Gellman (12-5), junior Elena Tatarchenko (7-7) and senior Laura Evans (2-1) rounded out MIT's fencers at sabre.
The Engineers' epee contingent had more trouble than the other teams, winning only 32 of 54 possible points. Stephanie Shin (11-5) and Kirsten Hessler (10-6) scored the most wins, while Sophie Monahan (7-9), Kristin Kuhn (3-0) and Rachel Williams (1-2) also contributed.
The Engineers have one additional NFC meet prior to winter break when they travel to Brandeis to face Brown, Cornell, UNC, St. John's, and Yale on Saturday, December 5.

Tuesday's Tip: Safe removal of photos from magnetic album pages
About.com - describes the make-up of these old albums and why they are destroying our photographs
Tips for safely removing the photographs - another article from About.com
Here's a good article on photo preservation from the Nebraska State Historical Society Gerald R Ford Conservation Center. This is an Adobe pdf file.
Taking care of your personal archives from The Atlantic magazine - originally published by the Smithsonian.
The video below is from the Smithsonian and provides some tips for safe removal.
After seeing some examples of photo album horror stories online, I feel pretty fortunate that my photos came out the albums as easily as they did. However, the glue from the magnetic pages is stuck on the backs of some of the photographs. I'm guessing that this could present some problems if the photos will be stacked together for long term storage. Before these photos are filed away, I'm going to make sure that I scan the "keepers" so that further damage can be prevented. I suppose that going back to my original negatives might also be an option. But that is probably going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I wonder if I still have a light box around here somewhere . . .

Thanks for posting this! I have an old magnetic album full of old photos I've been meaning to 'rescue'. Now I know how, thanks to you.ReplyDelete
I have several albums that have been in my husband's family for 30+ years that I need to remove the photos from and have been putting it off. Thanks for sharing on to do this safely!ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting this! It's timely as I will be facing this type of album soon. Time to scan the old family photos when I visit my parents.ReplyDelete
I've recently started trying to go through our old family magnetic albums - so much work! Ugh. I've had to go back to the negatives several times and I'm so glad that I did because I was amazed how much better the image from the negative was than the photo in the album. The images really faded and yellow in the album and after scanning the negative I was able to have great colored and crisp images.ReplyDelete
Great post!

Forage making has come full circle with Pacbag's new Track-Pack machine. This multi-midsize silage bagger (10-, 12- or 14-foot tunnel) with hydraulic drive and track system instead of tires allows for excellent compaction, easier mobility and simpler operation. Powered by the 375 Cat engine, the excavator tracks (padded or not) not only provide better stability and drivability on any type of terrain, but remove the need for any other compaction system.
To create better sightlines, the newly designed cab is located on the left side of the machine. The frame is also narrower to allow for closely laid bags, and the tunnel is redesigned to make hanging the bag easier.
Due to the hydraulic drive, the system runs at 95% efficiency, ensuring the rotor has increased power. This drive system removes the planetary, clutch and belts.
Another feature eliminates the need for a low bed to haul your bagger. A removable fifth wheel hitch with removable air ride transport wheels that fold over the tracks when the machine is in bagging mode allow the Track-Pack to be towed at highway speeds. When in transport position, it is 8 feet 6 inches wide. For more information go to www.pacbag.com.

Western mourns passing of meteorology legend
Beloved 'Dr. Mel' founded WCSU Weather Center
Director of WCSU Meteorological Studies and WCSU Weather Center
DANBURY, CONN. — Dr. Mel Goldstein, "Dr. Mel" as he was known to hundreds of thousands of television weather viewers, died early Wednesday at the age of 66. His passing is marked with great sadness among the community at Western Connecticut State University, where Dr. Mel was an institution.
Dr. Mel Goldstein with his wife Arlene
He courageously battled multiple myeloma, a form of cancer, for more than 15 years. Because of his deteriorating health, he had retired recently after 25 years at WTNH News Channel 8. Dr. Mel lived in Guilford with his wife Arlene. The two were married as undergraduates at Penn State in 1965. They have two daughters, Laura and Melodie.
"While Dr. Mel has touched the life of nearly everyone in Connecticut over the past four decades, his imprint on Western Connecticut State University has been especially significant," said university President James Schmotter. "Not only did Dr. Mel begin our meteorology program — still the only one of its kind in the state — and our weather center, he was an inspiring mentor for generations of students. And the memories of all of us who had the good fortune to spend time with Dr. Mel will never fade. You could not help feeling better about the world and its future when you were around him."
Long before he stood before a television camera, Dr. Mel was a professor at Western and he created the WCSU Weather Center, the first of its kind in New England. He retired from Western in 1986 after 27 years to become the chief meteorologist at WTNH-TV. But he never forgot his roots and visited Western often to share his expertise and to encourage students and faculty to continue their pursuits. Last spring Dr. Mel presented the annual President's Lecture to a packed house in the Science Building.
His media career began soon after he started teaching at WCSU. Dr. Mel started on a single local radio station and by 1976, his broadcasts were on dozens of radio stations across the country. At that time, he began doing television weather. In the 1980s, his forecasts were seen nationwide on the Satellite News Channel, an all-news cable effort of ABC and Westinghouse.
Dr. Mel had received numerous awards, including the President's Medal at WCSU for his years of teaching and community service, the Connecticut Bloomer Award for his contributions to the state, and a nomination for an Emmy for a series of education vignettes about weather. For eight consecutive years, he was voted Connecticut's best television weatherperson in a reader's poll of Connecticut Magazine.
Beyond the accolades and awards, Dr. Mel was genuine and enthusiastic about everything he did. He handled all of life's storms with laughter and aplomb and once said that weather, with all its unpredictability and occasional devastation, taught him to keep an even temperament.
"Sometimes forgotten in memories of his inspiring personal struggle against illness and his reassuring television presence is the fact that Mel Goldstein was, above all, a serious researcher and scientist," Schmotter said. "He brought his hunger for knowledge about weather prediction to a broad general audience, and his legacy will endure in the lives and careers he changed."
For more information, contact the Office of University Relations at (203) 837-8486. To make a gift to the Dr. Mel Goldstein scholarship visit our online giving page.
Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs. Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York. Our vision: To be an affordable public university with the characteristics of New England's best small private universities.

'All is by My Side' – Unauthorized Jimi Hendrix Biopic Rumors, Facts + More
After years of discussions, there will indeed be a new Jimi Hendrix biopic, entitled 'All is by My Side.' Here is a complete rundown of all the facts, rumors and interesting news surrounding this highly anticipated movie.
Production and Release Schedule:
Work on the film is currently underway as of June 2012, albeit without the consent of the Jimi Hendrix Estate. A release date has not been scheduled.
Cast and Crew:
Director & Screenwriter: John Ridley. His previous credits include work on 'Three Kings' and 'U-Turn.'
Jimi Hendrix: Andre "3000″ Benjamin, one-half of the popular hip-hop group Outkast. He began discussing portraying Hendrix on the big screen as far back as 2004. Before him there were rumors of Prince maybe taking on the role someday, but it never came to fruition. Benjamin is not a novice to acting. After taking on small roles in 'Hollywood Homicide' and 'Be Cool,' he took on larger parts in the Outkast film 'Idlewild,' the Will Ferrell comedy 'Semi-Pro' and the Mark Wahlberg movie 'Four Brothers.'
Keith Richards: Little-know Ashley Charles will be playing the Rolling Stones legend in this film.
Linda Keith: Hayley Atwell, best known for her starring role in 2011′s 'Captain America,' will appear in the movie as Linda Keith, a onetime girlfriend of Keith Richards who later dumped the musician after falling for Hendrix. She reportedly gave the guitarist a recording of Tim Rose singing 'Hey Joe,' which became his breakthrough hit.
John (unknown role): Laurence Kinlan
Unknown Role: Imogen Poots (best known for her roles in 'Fright Night' and 'Me and Orson Welles.')
Music / Soundtrack:
'All is by My Side' has pulled in an impressive array of players to recreate not only Jimi's music, but that of Cream as well. Drummer Kenny Aronoff told us of his involvement during a recent interview. He mentioned playing with guitarist Waddy Wachtel and bassist Lee Sklar during a two-day session.
During this time, the group recorded 'Wild Thing' and 'Killing Floor' with Andre 3000 on vocals. During the Cream segment, Aronoff revealed it was a challenge because he had to change drumming styles and get in the mindset of Ginger Baker rather than Mitch Mitchell.
The film is said to zero in on the period between 1966 and 1967 when the young guitarist was discovered in New York and brought to England to record his first album, 'Are You Experienced?'

CRESTVIEW � Tulsa Moore is quite a multi-tasker: She teaches computer-based curriculum at Shoal River Middle School and is the school's media specialist, the school's webmaster, and tackles other duties as needed.
Editor�s Note: This is the third in a series on north Okaloosa County Teachers of the Year.
CRESTVIEW � Tulsa Moore is quite a multi-tasker: She teaches computer-based curriculum at Shoal River Middle School and is the school's media specialist, the school's webmaster, and tackles other duties as needed.
"I do whatever the school needs me to," she said.
Moore spends one period in the school's media center, cataloging or organizing bookshelves.
"What I enjoy the most is talking to students about books and helping them pick out a book they would enjoy," she said.
Moore teaches several levels of IT education.
"The way we divide our classes here is year one, year two and year three," she said. The first year is an introduction to computers. The second year helps students earn high school certifications in learning to use Microsoft programs like Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The third year involves web design, which students can use for high school credit.
Recently, Moore, an Okaloosa County teacher since 1993, was named the school�s Teacher of the Year.
"I would have been just as happy for any other teacher (if he or she won) because I know how hard everybody works," she said.
She previously earned the title in the 1998-99 school year, when she taught science at Richbourg Middle School.
"She is ultra professional," Principal Paul Whiddon said. "She is such a dynamic teacher.�
Several students said they enjoy her class.
"She will work with students individually if they need help," Isaac Suendermann, 13, said. "Overall, she is just very caring."
Hannah Nelson, 14, said she has found the IT classes to be beneficial.
"She has given me a lot more opportunities ... I have learned how to help people in the community with their computers and their electronics just by attending her class," Nelson said.
Sachit Sharma, 13, enjoyed Moore's class so much that he became her teacher's aide.
"Mrs. Moore is a wonderful teacher," Sharma said. "She does a wonderful job explaining to students what works best for them."

My initial reaction was that everything is a little bit different (e.g., kids want to know where Wally is, not Waldo), but a little bit better (e.g., rugby is objectively better than football; underground is better than driving).
Maybe things aren't just a little bit different:
If the headlines are to be believed, things are very different here.

Well, clearly Rule #3 is: never post comments from your phone. What I meant to say with that cryptic and ungrammatical sub-sentence at the end was that the only "sport" worse than cricket is curling. ;-)

Monday Morning Offering - 42
Image: George Mendoza
Good morning, good God!
It's Easter Monday, Lord,
and time to look back a bit...
I'm thinking of the three women who came to the tomb
expecting to find you dead
but finding that you had already risen
from the dead...
I'm thinking of the apostles
hiding behind locked doors in fear...
I'm thinking of the two disciples
walking with you on the road to Emmaus
and not recognizing you until...
Seems like your closest friends
didn't get it right away, Lord:
even when you were right in their faces
they didn't understand what had happened...
It took time for it all to sink in...
It took time for them to understand,
to believe, to act on what they believed...
It takes me time, too, Lord...
All these years,
and the message of Easter
is still sinking in, making itself known,
making itself real in my life...
I still don't understand everything about Easter:
I get the dying part
much better than I get the rising part...
I want you in my life
but sometimes I hide from you
because I'm not sure what having you in my life
will cost me...
I believe you're somehow always with me, Lord,
so I'm sure I miss you lots of times
even when you're right in my face...
So this Monday morning, Lord, I offer you
the ways I think, I hope I "got Easter"
a little more this year than before...
I learned that I need to wrap a towel around my heart
as you wrapped a towel around your waist:
I need a heart wrapped and ready to serve
others' needs before my own...
I learned my sins added
to the burden on your shoulders
on the cross:
my sins made your load heavier...
And I learned that you are always just ahead of me,
drawing me out of myself,
out of my darkness into your light,
calling me to be closer to you,
beckoning me to follow where you lead
so that I will find you
even though I know you are always right by my side...
Help me to understand when I don't understand, Lord;
to "get it" when I'm confused;
to take the time to let the Easter story sink in
to the depths of my mind, my heart, my life...
And because I so often miss you
when you walk with me, Lord,
open my eyes and ears and heart
to those in need around me
and help me to find you in them,
to serve you in them...
It's Easter Monday, Lord,
and I'm looking back:
draw me out of the darkness into your light,
always closer to your risen face...

Three women who loved Jesus came to the tomb to anoint his body, but did not find Jesus there.ReplyDelete
Three young women came to our parish this year, answering a call to find Jesus. After months of prayer and study with their teachers and sponsors, they were baptized and anointed with the oil of confirmation at our Holy Saturday liturgy.
Like the three courageous biblical women seeking Jesus, our newly-baptized women have come to serve Jesus, joining the ranks of women who spread the great news that Jesus, Our Savior, has risen!
Praise the Lord for these wonder-filled gifts!

Thursday night the Bisons will try to get back on the winning track when the two teams meet at 6 p.m. in Buies Creek, N.C. The Bisons have lost their last two games and are 1-3 in their last four road games.
The Bisons are 14-10 overall, 9-6 in the Atlantic Sun. Campbell is 1-4 in its last five games. Campbell is 11-13 overall, 5-9 in the conference.
One of the primary objectives for the Bisons is to play a 40-minute game.
"We want to be more consistent on both ends of the floor for longer periods of time," Bisons' coach Scott Sanderson said. "We've had spells when we have played very, very well and we have had spells where we haven't played particularly well.
"That has been the emphasis the last couple of days. We want to have more quality possessions. When you have a 40-minute game there are 55 to 60 possessions. We have to have more quality possessions defensively than offensively. When you are having a hard time stopping people it puts a lot of pressure on your offense."
Sanderson and his staff have reminded the players on a daily basis what is important to winning games. No words have been wasted in letting the players know what is needed.
"We have been pretty matter of fact about it," Sanderson said. "There hasn't been a whole lot of dialogue going on.
"The emphasis is still the same. We just want to get better in field goal defense, not turning the ball over and rebounding the ball."
Lipscomb center Adnan Hodzic is averaging 18.3 points per game which leads the A-Sun. Guard Josh Slater is averaging 16.4 points per game, fourth best in the conference.
Hodzic and Slater do more than score for the Bisons. Hodzic leads the team with 7.5 rebounds per game, second best in the conference overall. Slater is first in steals with 2.9 per game.
The Bisons have won six of eight games at Campbell in the history of the series. The Bisons won 92-81 on Jan. 17 at Allen Arena behind a 33-point performance from Hodzic.
Campbell is led by 6-foot-8 forward Eric Griffin with 12.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Guard Lorne Merthie is scoring 11.2 points per game.
"Campbell is very long, very quick and very athletic," Sanderson said. "They rebound the ball very well. They do some things that have given our team some problems this year.
"This year's team does not have a guy who can erase a lot of mistakes defensively. We have to play together defensively. If one guy breaks down our entire team breaks down."
The Bisons have three more road games left including the final two games of the regular season.
"If you don't play well on the road, and if you only play 20 or 25 minutes, then chances are you are going to get beat," Sanderson said. "That is what happened to us last weekend at North Florida and Jacksonville."
The Bisons do not play again until Feb. 17 when USC Upstate visits Allen Arena.

Was doing Cultist Refuge with Konakaga. Pulling out tons of damage, but still not enough to scale with a Berserker (playing as Slayer). Heart Thrust is probably the most inaccurate skill ever, but boy does it deal so much damage when it lands. Still trying to get my Slayer to pull tons of damage, with rapid succession. The only problem is constantly trying to get the MP to spam skills more.

If you have a priest healing, get them to spam Mana Charge with the Collaborative Mana Charge glyph. Use infused charms if you have the gold.
MP is the bottleneck for basically all damage classes. As a sorc I have more ways to recover MP than melee (usually using mana siphon + mana infusion while hailstorm ticks waiting for fireblast to cool down, if done with celerity active it's not much of a damage loss) but having a mystic and infused charms really, really helps.
You can chain an accelerated overhand strike from the final hit of combo attack, so you can make up for DPS loss that way if you're running short on MP.
Make sure your crystal setup includes a fine glistening crystal. This gives you a temporary MP regen buff every time you crit from behind.
Crystal build is super important for DPS. For slayer, use the following:
Acrimonious Hexage/Pentant (additional critical multiplier against bosses from the rear)
Fine/Pristine Savage Hexage/Pentant (additional critical multiplier against any target from the rear)
Fine/Pristine Glistening Hexage/Pentant (MP regen buff, procs on crits from the rear)
Fine/Pristine Forceful Hexage/Pentant (Power buff, procs on crits from the rear)
If you have a mystic and/or infused charms, replace the glistening with a Fine/Pristine Focused Hexage (or Pentant) for added critical multiplier when the mob is enraged (usually pretty close to half the time, most BAMs enrage at 70% and 30% for a good amount of time).
Pristines can be found at the specialty vendor; fines are world drops only so check the broker.

Planed to dl this just to try out for a week or so (considering how hyped up it was few years ago).
What is the easier class in term of short term playing? Something that may get me access to the most content with as limited time as possible?
Probably will just try out Elin just for all of the internet meme generated from her. Maybe just pick some massive weapon for killer-loli feeling?

After spending a night with GW2 I'm tempted to just go back to playing TERA all the time again... at least my dodges work properly in this game.
To the person above me, nothing really. Almost all the classes change pretty dramatically when you hit the level cap. I'd recommend zerker because it's loads of fun to level and the hilarity of HUEG AXE tiny girl is hard to pass up.

Recently got into this. Choosing a Female Elf Warrior to start. Played solo all the way till I hit level 30 and just before entering the second dungeon (something mansion?). I also have tried priest and sorc and zerks to about level 20 each. Haven't played again since. I've got to say, the 5 stars difficulty of warrior wasn't an exaggeration , but it was hugely more fun to play compared to the other ones I tried, even (or especially?) solo.

Slayer or Berserker, guys? They kinda sounds the same based on the introduction
If it was the weapon of choice , i will prefer greatsword. But heavy armour is my armour of choices mostly because i'm not a skillful gamer (have to admit) so live long, have time to calculate out response, was my player style
Edit : SaintessHeart, are you in... Singapore? Within this list?
"En Masse has a license to operate TERA game servers in North America. This means that if you are in North America, South America, Europe (excluding Russia), and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia) you can play on En Masse Servers."

First impression of the game.... have to say that GW2 actions is still smoother for me, as it's much harder to attack while moving here.
Berserker is not for me through, too slow attacking. Trying out Slayer atm, let's see how it go

Can't really play from here. The frame usual high but sometime it just drop down to 20-30 or even freeze. The only solution is to turns to low but the graphic looks all blocky...
And just bought this new computer and it played most recent games with highest settings too, so it was not because of my hardware

Well, I'm in between sky rim play throughs so I thought I'd see what the f2p Tera was doing. Took quite a while to get my account working because TERA insisted I was logging in from a "new machine" (wasn't) and the authentication email was about an hour late in arriving (then I got like five emails at once because I kept asking for a resend).
Currently installing the game again (I'd cleared the space for other things). We'll see how it goes. I figure I'm guildless if the guild was housecleaning but stranger things have happened.

Still had the client installed from beta so I just had to update it. Got my Warrior from 37 to 42 after getting 2000 gold from a friend who is a vet in the game. Inflation is pretty ridiculous so some of the low level gear can get really expensive. For example the level 38 Gold weapons were 300+ gold last last weekend but dropped to a more reasonable 50-100 gold this weekend.
The game still has the same problems as beta, ie, terribad questing and story, but the combat and instances are still fun. I finally did Dark Cathedral, the first 'real' instance and I enjoyed it a lot as the bosses still had a lot of moves that I had to dodge even with the tank getting aggro 100% of the time.
Enhancing gear seems a lot easier too as I got my L38 Heartblades to +6 with only 1 fail using whites and greens.

As you may recall, I was making a bit of an effort in January to drink as little as possible.
However, the Apple Ginger Tea Toddy was kind of awesome.
While I was drinking it the second, or third, time, I thought to myself, "Self, you know this isn't too far from my Hercules recipe. What if I made a chilled bitter beverage with apple juice instead of wine?"
And why do people who don't drink, often end up as an afterthought at bars, with kind of shit choices?
It's like vegetarian's in restaurants, there's no reason vegetarian food can't be as delicious, or even more delicious, than food with meat, if you put a little effort and thought into it. And salt, salt, for goodness sake, and seasoning herbs.
Why can't people who don't drink have interesting bitter aperitif or digestiv beverages?
Apple Amaro
500ml Apple Juice
250ml Gingerzizer Ginger Apple Beverage (or Apple Juice, a little honey, and some crushed ginger root)
Peel 1 Tangelo (hey, it's what we have, pick any orange relative in your fridge.)
1 Cinnamon Stick
3 Green Cardamom Pods, Crushed
6 Cloves, Crushed
1 tsp Coriander Seed, Crushed
1 tsp Fennel Seed, Crushed
1 tsp Gentian Root
1 tsp Cinchona Bark
1 scant tsp Angelica Root
1 scant tsp Calamus Root
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 tsp Chinese Black Tea
?2 TBSP Cider or White Wine Vinegar
METHOD: Bring all ingredients other than tea and vinegar to a simmer. Turn off heat, add tea and steep for 15 mins. Taste and add vinegar to bring acidity up to the level of a young red wine. Chill.
I initially made it without the sugar or vinegar, but without the sugar, the bitterness was quite off putting. Without the vinegar, it lacked impact on the palate.
I had the Angelica & Calamus for another project, common ingredients in old vermouth recipes and sometimes Gin. I think the Angelica might have been a mistake, it has a floral, curry thing going on that is a little off putting in combination with the other spices. I'd probably leave both of them out next time.
On the whole, it is an interesting first effort. Ideally, I want to figure out a way to make a Sanbitter Syrup, as replacement for that discontinued product. It's a start and the Apple Amaro is pretty darn tasty with a little Rye Whiskey. Don't tell the vegetarians.

Accenture's 2016 Compliance Risk Study uncovered good and bad news for the compliance risk function.
On the plus side, demand on compliance is growing—both in scale and in complexity. But the increased need has been met with slowed growth in the compliance function's stature.
To keep pace with demand, the compliance function will need to change. But how? See our 2016 study for some starting points.

The HEC Paris UK office is delighted to invite you to a Masterclass with Professor Augustin Landier, professor at HEC Paris, PhD graduate from ENS and MIT, and Best Young Economis of France 2014.
During the masterclass, Prof. Landier will draw from his latest research to explain how the use of big data is profoundly changing the investment industry and giving new material for practitioners eager to predict future performance, and academics keen on understanding market participants' behaviour. Here are a few examples:
Valuation – To estimate the fundamental value of companies, models can now make use of data such as Glassdoor or Linkedin which can help evaluate the organizational capital of a company, its ability to attract and retain talent etc.
Behavioral Finance – Investor sentiment and dispersion in beliefs can be directly evaluated using social media or survey data. Such measures can be useful in predicting risk and returns.
Forensic finance – The existence of fraud can be assessed by combining large market data with statistical analysis in a manner that is much more extensive than in the past
Impact investing and ESG – access to new data is reviving the possibility to invest in companies that reflect values that investors might ant to express in their portfolio.
Prof. Landier explains: "The proliferation of new datasets has drastically important implications for the financial industry: Whether you are an asset manager, a prime-broker or a regulator, Big data is raising new critical questions and opportunities for new business models. "
8 am – 8:30 am: Welcome & breakfast
8:30 – 9:00 am: Augustin Landier's Keynote
9:00 – 9:30 am: Panel discussion with industry experts
9:30 – 10 am: Q&A and Networking
Augustin Landier is professor of finance at HEC. Prior to that, he was professor at the Toulouse School of Economics.
