The relationship between the Renminbi future spot return and the forward discount rate
We use rolling cointegration tests to investigate the relationship between the Renminbi daily future spot return and the forward discount rate for the period after the currency regime reform in China in July 2005. We find that there are different regimes after this reform and that the financial crisis affects the relationship between the future spot return and the forward discount rate in China. The unbiasedness hypothesis that the forward rate is an unbiased predictor of the future spot rate requires cointegration and a unity coefficient for the forward discount. We conclude that the unbiased forward rate hypothesis only holds in Spring 2009, when the Chinese authorities returned to pegging the Renminbi to the US dollar to overcome the turmoil of the global financial crisis.

Sharing of this information should steer you in the path of increased knowledge and awareness of where to find answers to your questions.
If we were to make a list of favorite garden vegetables, you probably wouldn't find eggplant very near the top of the list. While it may not be as popular as the tomato, it does produce good yields of fruit, which can be used in a wide variety of dishes. In addition, it is somewhat attractive, and has been used on occasion in ornamental plantings.
Eggplant is another member of the nightshade family (solanaceae), which also includes tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes. Like other solanaceous crops, eggplants were once considered less-than-desirable as food, if not actually poisonous. In the 16th century, it was known as the "mad apple", because it was thought that consumption would lead to insanity.
Originally, eggplant was found in two regions of the world. Smaller-fruited types came from China, and larger-fruited types came from India. The name of "eggplant" was chosen because of the shape of the small-fruited varieties which are similar to eggs. Today, we can grow either type, or hybrids of the two types. This has led to a wide selection of sizes, shapes, and colors. There are even small, white varieties, which do come close to looking like eggs. These can make unusual ornamental plants.
Like tomatoes, eggplants love hot weather, and do their best during mid-summer. Daytime temperatures of 78 degrees are optimal. Nighttime temperatures are best above 68 degrees. Eggplants will grow in warmer weather, but may fail to set fruit if temperatures get too high. If drying winds accompany the high temperature readings, pollination may be prevented. However cooler weather will bring a return of fruiting. When fall arrives, eggplants slow their growth, and fruits do not develop.
The best time to harvest eggplant is when they are young, approximately 1/3 to 2/3 of their mature size. If you press lightly on the side of the fruit with your thumb, the flesh should readily spring back. If it does not, the fruit is too mature. Another indicator of maturity is the skin color. Fruit which is still optimal will have a high gloss, but over-mature fruit may look dull, with possible bronzing.
When selecting varieties to grow, choose those which have disease resistance. Some of the diseases which are problems in tomatoes can also attack eggplants, such as verticillium wilt. Be sure to rotate your crops each year, and this will lessen the likelihood of disease.
Insect pests can be a problem, especially flea beetles. These are small, black beetles, about 1/16 inch long. They feed on the leaves, making many small holes. In severe cases, they can actually destroy the plant. Even if your eggplant survives, they can still stunt the plant and reduce yields. If flea beetles are a problem, you will need to maintain a regular spray schedule in order to harvest a crop.
As a final thought, remember that these plants are normally vigorous growers, producing large fruits. This means that they will need plenty of moisture, especially on sandy soils. During the hot weather that makes them thrive, be sure to give them regular water. You'll soon be giving eggplant to your neighbors.

Yes, I will be working in Reston. I don't want to do a lot of communting-that is the reason I would prefer to live in REston. The only thing I did not like in addition to expensive housing and rent is the apartment complexes. They are so big and an abundance of amenities. There are no 6 apartment buildings with no amenities -smaller apartments with just parking.
After reading the article, an old article, "commuting sentence" from the Washington Post forget it. I did think about living farther south in Va but then there is no train to take me to Reston. I also did like very much Leesburg (the city you mentioned) but that would be an hour commute to Reston-again no train.

Anyone elso out there considered high risk by their OB?
High Risk?
Hi, May I join you? I am high risk, due to having had two preemies, my first pregnancy ended in m/c, 2nd delivered at 37 weeks, 3rd at 35 weeks, 4th at 32 weeks. I have very low porgesterone so I am currently taking oral progesterone daily to help with that and will most likely be getting the 17-P shots later on to help avoid premature labor again.
Hello all,
Put on bedrest yesterday I can still count the hours. My doctor is considering me high risk. I'm 28 weeks now and had my first child at 35 weeks. I'm kinda a busy body so this is just driving me crazy as well as my 2 yr old. Any suggestions?
I am 30 weeks and yesterday my doctor put me on absolute bed rest. The only thing I am allowed to do is get up to go to the bathroom and the doctor other than that I have to be laying down. I am over 50% effaced right now, she said she is trying to come. I just hope she stays in long enough. I have had the steroid shots for her lungs so that is reassuring. My 3 yo is a handful so I am staying with familiy now, my husband is so worried. I have found that the computer and cable are the only things that keep me occupied
I am over 35, so that automatically puts me into high risk. I don't feel high risk. Am I suppose to do things a little differently? I have my first appointment Sept 24th so I guess I will find out then. Best wishes for all!
Hello!! I'm High Risk (IC) I've been on bedrest since I was 14wks and now about to hit 25wks woo hoo!!!
Hi I am also a high risk patient. I was put on strick bedrest since I was 8 weeks because of a severe subcoriadic hemorage. I also have marginal placenta previa. I am now 30 weeks along and things are going very well but I am very anxious about my c section with this hemorage.
R we gonna have like a bedrest group?? Or a cervical disorder group and such?? Just wondering?? Good luck to all!
I would love to start a bedrest group! What happened to all the girls from the previous bedrest forum? I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and have been on bedrest for 3 weeks due to a shortened cervix. I'm also trying to raise a 19 month old in the process...Very difficult, even with help. Hope you're doing well Zahira! I'm glad to find you here. Congrats on 25 weeks!!! Kelli
I just found out last week that I am high risk. I am 17 weeks with my first and still a full time senior in college. I have to go in every other week for vaginal screenings to keep an eye on the cervix but I'm hoping bed rest won't become a necessity until after I finish the semester. Is bed rest and high risk usually something that goes together?
Hi all I am pregnant with my fourth and considered high risk in the past Ive had bleeding bed rest, preterm labor home monitoring and had to give myself tributilin in a pump...etc.
I am currently 9 weeks and can't believe I have no problems so far!!!!!
knock on wood...
But my dr is being very cautious!!!!!!!!
My last pregnancy ws 7yrs ago My kids are 10,9,61/2
so I might need some therapy
This was a complete surprise... At least all my kids are in school this time around!!!!
37 year old mommy of four boys 12.5,11,8.5, and 18 months

I noticed after upgrading NextGEN to 1.4.3 (it may have happened on an earlier upgrade) that the %GALLERY_NAME% placeholder for my Lightbox Effect no longer works. Instead of the rel tag being printed as rel="lightbox[galleryname]" it is now showing up as rel="lightbox[set-111]" (where 111 is the set id).
I use the %GALLERY_NAME% placeholder to make other images in a post navigated seamlessly into the NextGEN gallery images on that post.
An example of the issue can be seen on my blog. If you click the image in the post (it has a rel of lightbox[the-gallery-name]), it will open in a Lightbox. In the past, you would have seen a "1 of 9" caption and a "Next" button that would lead to the first of the NextGEN gallery images. Now you can't navigate between them since the gallery images have a rel with the set ID.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers addressed a need to upgrade their struggling offensive line by obtaining six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins from the Patriots for tight end Tim Wright and a draft pick.
The deal Tuesday comes less than 24 hours after the Bucs met with Richie Incognito to try to determine if one of the central figures in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal might be an answer to their problems at guard.
General manager Jason Licht said he felt fortunate to obtain the 32-year-old Mankins, but did not rule out the possibility of signing Incognito, too.
Asked where things stood with Incognito, coming off a suspension for his role in last season's bullying scandal, Licht replied the free agent guard remains an "option."

Skip to comments.How GOP Insiders Will Fail in Civil War vs. Tea Party: The Establishment Strikes Back
Posted on 10/29/2013 2:46:52 PM PDT by Moseley
The Establishment Strikes Back. But this campaign against the tea party will fail, because false assumptions dominate the thinking and plans of Americas Republican establishment. GOP insiders have now declared war on the tea party. They are promising during the 2014 U.S. elections to restore business interests to dominate the GOP, and weaken the tea party influence.
Hopefully well go into eight to 10 races and beat the snot out of them, said former Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio. According to the National Journal, LaTourettes new political group, Defending Main Street, aims to raise $8 million to fend off tea-party challenges against more mainstream Republican incumbents. La Tourette explains: Were going to be very aggressive and were going to get in their faces.
Trouble is: Americas Republican aristocracy does not understand the tea party or what is motivating the grassroots insurgency. Republican insiders cannot respond to what they do not understand.
First, too many mainstream Republicans candidates spend money like drunken sailors. They vote for more spending, bigger deficits, more business-strangling regulations, bigger government, and ballooning national debt. They must eventual buckle to higher taxes.
Political gurus put on an act, saying that the divide falls between fiscal issues and social issues. But establishment candidates are not fiscal conservatives, the only play fiscal conservatives on TV. The tea party revolt is against the GOPs rampant fiscal irresponsibility.
The tea party aims to put the United States finances in order, lowering taxes, and balancing the budget. The charade of pitting business interests against the tea party will not fool businessmen for long. The GOP establishment is bad for business.
Second, the grassroots is demanding genuine change. Until they see actual change, aint nobody listening. GOP elites dont get it:
(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...
Third, conservative candidates thrive when attacked by GOP elites. The morning after Christine ODonnell won the September 14, 2010, primary, her website displayed a fund-raising goal of $50,000. Then, news spread that Mike Castle refused to endorse the choice of the voters and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was refusing to help. Radio talk show host Laura Ingraham that morning then Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity that afternoon urged their enormous audiences to donate.
Christines fund-raising blew through $1.1 million by 1:30 PM. She only asked for $50,000 that day. Conservatives ultimately gave $7.4 million. Steve LaTourettes entire budget is only $8 million, spread across 10 campaigns.
Contributors gave $7.4 million for the pleasure of sticking their thumb in GOP guru Karl Roves eye. The more the establishment snubbed sweet and sympathetic Christine, the more conservative donors wanted to slap Republican elites across the face with their own donation. Those donations were a rejection of the very establishment who now imagine we will suddenly start listening to them.
Wouldn't it be nice if these GOP insiders devoted the energy they are using to defeat the TEA Party to defeating Democrats instead? I can dream can't I?
And how did that work out for Senator O'Donnell?
Excellent! This is a bullseye!
Main Street??? Really??? What is that old saying that Sarah Palin so eloquently and aptly cited about a pig with lipstick?
Paging Karl Rove, your unemployment check is in the mail, your Obamacare policy is also waiting for you, now bend over and take it like the piece of shit you are!
Night night you bastard kool aide drinkers, TEA is now the official drink.
Oh, and my check is in the mail; promise.
Still waiting for someone to challenge John Cornyn. Cornyn needs to go!
this pinhead is obviously suffering from Tourette's Syndrome
thou fool
The GOPe is fighting to retain their stolen power, period.
The GOPe is in bed with the Democrats, period.
The GOPe already foisted upon the American People, the likes of John McCain and Mitt Romney. No more.
Anybody that is not going to stand FOR The U.S. Constitution, and operate WITHIN that fixed document, is a traitor, and needs to be removed from office.
Absent having to continue running against the GOP in the general election Christine O'Donnell would've been elected. Instead, people like yourself piled on to make sure the Democrat won just to spite the conservatives who didn't take their marching orders from the GOPee elites.
And now me and my family (who live in Wyoming) are donating to Matt Bevin in the hopes that he can unseat that useless old turd Mitch McConnell. He won't even be OUR Senator but putting our finger in the eyes of the likes of Karl Rove, McConnell, and (apparently) yourself is completely worth it.
Thus said, the author of this article is right.
And you don't get it, do you? Your time is over. Get out of the way.
Why not post the rest of the material here?
It worked out well. She withstood the attacks and beat the RINO Castle in the primary. That's very encouraging.
OK. She lost the general election, but more important, a RINO didn't win it. The GOP-e needs to understand that if they work against the Tea Party, their candidates will ultimately lose.
Sure O'Donnell lost the election, but so did the GOP-e. I'd rather have a Tea Partier lose to a Democrat, than have a GOP-e RINO win.
The Tea Party message needs to be that if the RINOs run the Republican Party, the Tea Party is serious about seeing the party collapse.
The RINOs never believe that -- they think that in the end we will always vote for the RINOs. And in the past they have been right.
But this time it's different.
"I can dream cant I?"
I don't know. Have you paid your dream taxes?
about as well as Rovio and Romney
So you're admitting the GOP-e is more interesting in screwing conservatives than in defeating Democrats.
It's a start.
Rove, through his two political outfits, American Crossroads and Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, backed unsuccessful Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney with $127 million on more than 82,000 television spots, according to Kantar Medias CMAG, an ad tracker based in New York.
Down the ballot, 10 of the 12 Senate candidates and four of the nine House candidates the Rove groups supported also lost their races.
Rove and wannabees like La Tourette raise big bucks and use the money to feather their own nests.
Donald Trump posted a message on Twitter saying: Congrats to @KarlRove on blowing $400 million this cycle. Every race @CrossroadsGPS ran ads in, the Republicans lost. What a waste of money.
More like Wall Street.
You didn't read the article, did you?
Civil war? Nah.. The TP needs to simply inform the GOP it will break off and form its own party if the GOP doesn't cease and desist with the attacks. The GOP will never win the White House again anyway, so there's no reason not to throw that gauntlet down now.
LOL, that was desperate of you, the tea party rolled in a pile of victories in 2010, and in 2012 Rove rolled in massive defeat, wasting something like 400 million and the GOPe losing something like 10 or 11 Senate races, while Palin was giving us our only Senate seat pick-up, and Ted Cruz.
Boy I hope they fail. For the past few years I have been VERY much in favor of splitting off and forming a third party. The GOP can't beat the Dims anyway. Now is the time.
However, I sure hope they do fail against us.
Maybe this guy can become an example?
Dreaming on that with you
The GOP establishment has failed and at best has always met halfway from where they are to where the far left is going.
Time to end it, forget mending it.
Put all new ones with spines in.
It got her IRS records illegally accessed and distributed, in an inside-job to derail her campaign with what turned out in hindsight to be false allegations, but at the time a lethal blow.
The divide falls between more government and less government.
The most pressing of the social issues are around ailments caused by government. Hack and prune government out of abortion, homosexuality, and charity (welfare). Root it out in civil "rights" anti-discrimination tyranny of such that a business can be sued for refusing to provide wedding services to prospective gay clients. And watch as abortion and promiscuity and the gay "lifestyle" get ... well, politely shown the door. Go somewhere else. And while we're at it, get rid of government in religious matters so we can see some CHRISTMAS TREES in American banks again and post the 10 Commandments where ever they need to be.
The less government, a more moral America.
If we had just done as much for Lonegan.
Now that they've been outed, they have the nerve to fight back. Why can't they just slither away?
And a RINO couldn't have, despite what the Rovians tell you.
BTW, does "Rovian" sound suspiciously like "Romulan"?
No, LaTourette Syndrome.
"And how did that work out for Senator O'Donnell?"
Actual her most effective opposition, and the democrats support, came from Karl Rove and his tribe. Without Roves help and the establishments help given to the democrats she would have won.
Steve, Steve, you do not realize that the Tea Party represents the voters of the USA. Especially those voters who believe in fiscal responsibility, the right to life, personal responsibility, common sense, they believe in God, and they know that men and women are different.
Steve, you are a foolish and misguided man!
Great article -- I think he's pretty much spot on.
I also think one of the biggest fasle assumptions is that people will blindly vote Republican "against" the other guy. That "heads-we-win, tails-you-loose" trick only works for so long.
Glenn Beck said that it would take the Tea Party 18 months to take over the Republican party and replace it. This was
like when the Republicans replaced the Whigs in the 1850's. The first step, Beck said, is to starve the Pubs of donations. No more money to the RNC or any Republican rinos.
Is this the same "Chuck" LaTourette that played pro football?
In all truth, these establishment Republicans will never have loyalty to a conservative Republican party, and will even work with Democrats to defeat it. So it needs to be made clear to them that if they want war, so be it, but if they lose, they will no longer have any position of authority within the party.
They and their lobbyist cronies will be on the outs, as will their business clients. So there will be no more sweetheart deals, favorable legislation to give them government money instead of earning it, and the party itself will show them the door.
The establishment encouraged the attacks on O'Donnell. They did not want her to be successful, and undermined her from the beginning. This is what they are doing now, and plan to do in the future. But if they think we will sit back and meekly accept their wise guidance, they will see that those days are over.
From Rasmussen on Drudge.
So, I wonder how much of the remaining % goes to the elite GOP?
I would be willing to bet that this internecine war will not result in Tea Party capitulation, rather the opposite.
That doesn't mean everybody in either column is enthusiastic about the choice or that they reject other alternatives.
They just dislike the other choice more than the one they picked.
Better than it did for Mike Castle the RINO loser, and his RINO water carriers.
And her character besmirched.

Skip to comments.Hillary Clinton Will Eulogize Lautenberg at Funeral On Wednesday (& VP Biden)
Posted on 06/04/2013 11:13:48 AM PDT by drewhEdited on 06/04/2013 12:30:52 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will eulogize New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg at his funeral Wednesday, according to Lautenbergs office.
The office released details today of the final send off for Lautenberg, who died early Monday morning from viral pneumonia at the age of 89. The events will take place over three days.
(Excerpt) Read more at nj.com ...
Well, she has experience in speaking in front of caskets. Let's hope she doesn't blame Lout's timely death on an anti-Muslim video.
Will this also be the launch of her re-election campaign?
One living POS radical left wing extremist demokkkrat socialist scumbag beatifying another (but dead) radical left wing extremist demokkkrat socialist scumbag. Sounds reasonable enough. Maybe jerry rivera will show up to announce his appointment as the laut's replacement.
Maybe they'll have a big party like they did for whats his face that died up in Minnesota?
With beach balls and all!!
The culture of death and destruction celebrate.
Another repeat of the Paul Wellstone tribute most likely. The good news in that one was that their behavior cause Walter Mondale to lose the election to replace him.
Hillary Clinton Will Euthanize Lautenberg Wednesday at Funeral.
Sometimes having dyslexia is really funny......
"As I stand here, looking over the carcass of this late Senator, I am reminded of a story where he told me of watching me on TV when I was dodging sniper's bullets while feeding the great unwashed with my left hand, and crackin' skulls with my right, while looking so pretty in pink and my new hairdo. But enough about him."
I think Larry Flynt should be the eulogizer, since Lautenberg considered him a "great American" during the impeachment trial of Clinton.
Let's now do add to the story. We'll write it for her using her words. I'll start off with,
"What does it matter if a FJB is dead..."
Wonder if they will have a democrat pep rally like they did for Paul Wellstone.
"Whether Frank Lautenberg died from viral pneumonia, or was killed by a couple of guys out for a walk who decided to kill a U.S. Senator, what difference does it make?"
She's starting on her campaign speeches early.
Hope she uses a copy of Urkel's eulogy to Sen Inouye and just talks about herself.
Will she have to run and duck for cover like she lied about in her campaign. There might be some right wingers around you know and they are dangerous.
satan's sister to eulogize a recently deceased body of a fellow demon of hell.
Jeez, is she gonna launch into her "I ain't no ways tired" speech?
Should be a pretty short eulogy ... how long does it take to say "Progressive a$$hole up and died, good riddance".
But do people in AR still believe in her?
by the way, remember
"Weve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with. It is hard for the American people to make sense of that because it is senseless, and it is totally unacceptable."
The sad ones in NJ will at least get a "high" when the Hillary speaks!
Heeeeeey ! Stand up Frank........oh, never mind.
Quoth Hillary:
"f*****g Jew b*****d"
Oooops, you already covered sleeping. Sorry.
LOL, but...but...that pillow is in the male form is there one in the form of a woman, she would REALLY like that.

Brookfield Fourth-Quarter FFO Falls After Home Unit Spinoff
Brookfield Office Properties Inc., owner of lower Manhattan's World Financial Center, said fourth-quarter funds from operations fell 34 percent after the company spun off its profitable residential business.
FFO attributable to common shareholders, which gauges a real estate company's ability to generate cash, dropped to $134 million, or 26 cents a share, from $204 million, or 40 cents, a year earlier, New York-based Brookfield said today in a statement. The result matches the average estimate of 15 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. The company projected full-year diluted FFO of $1.07 to $1.12 a share, compared with an average analyst estimate of $1.12.
Brookfield sharpened its focus on office properties last year when it merged its residential land operation, which mainly built homes in oil-rich western Canada, with another unit of its parent, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Brookfield Office generated no income from residential operations in the fourth quarter, compared with $48 million a year earlier.
Brookfield faces expiring leases in its skyscrapers in lower Manhattan, where it's the biggest office landlord.
"Significant lease rollover in 2013, much of it in downtown Manhattan, appears to still be more of a risk than a positive," Ross Smotrich, an analyst with Barclays Capital Inc. in New York, wrote in a Jan. 26 report. "Brookfield's earnings could be hit relatively hard if leasing demand wanes in lower Manhattan in the near term."
Manhattan Vacancies
Bank of America Corp. said it will leave behind more than 3 million square feet (279,000 square meters) of World Financial Center offices when the leases expire next year. The bank agreed to keep 767,000 square feet of the space it inherited with its 2009 acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co.
Brookfield has 590,000 square feet of empty offices at 1 New York Plaza that had been rented by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Lower Manhattan, which had an 11.6 percent office availability rate at the end of last year, probably will have a "spike" in unleased space as such financial firms as Bank of America, Nomura Holdings Inc. and Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. consolidate offices, the brokerage firm Studley Inc. said in a report last month.
Revenue was $527 million, a 33 percent jump from a year earlier. Net operating income from commercial properties rose 50 percent to $305 million, as the company's U.S. portfolio contribution almost doubled to $186 million. Net income attributable to shareholders fell to $338 million from $971 million.
Leasing Record
The company signed a record 10.1 million square feet of leases in 2011, Chief Executive Officer Ric Clark said in the statement. That's 22 percent more than the its previous high in 2007. About 2.7 million square feet was rented in the fourth quarter at an average net rent of $29.50 a square foot, up 4 percent over the expiring rents on the same space.
Brookfield's Australian properties, which it acquired in September of 2010, contributed $40 million to net operating income from commercial business, up from $34 million a year earlier.
Earnings were released before the start of regular U.S. trading. Brookfield fell 0.5 percent to $17.81 yesterday in New York. The shares have gained 2.3 percent in the last 12 months, compared with a 4.2 percent increase in the 83-member Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index.

(53:16, Blood Rock/Black Widow Records)
TRACK LIST: 1. Red Sky of Sorrow 6:24 2. Black Swan 7:24 3. A Quiet Land of Fear 7:37 4. 0 Kilometers to Nothing 6:20 5. Ancestral Silence 2:21 6. Silent Sun 5:55 7. Distances 8:33 8. Inanis 2:28 9. I Will Disappear into the Sun 6:51 LINEUP: Marco Paddeu ¢ vocals; guitars Matteo Orlandi ¢ synthesizers Adriano Magliocco ¢ bass Marcello Fattore ¢ drums
Prolusion. DEMETRA SINE DIE is a modern Italian outfit. According to the CD press kit, they play a dark and visionary music, cosmic doom in the vein of bands such as Tool, Neurosis, Ancestors, Swans and A Storm of Light (of which IÆm only acquainted with the former). ōA Quiet Land of Fearö is a follow-up to their debut effort ōCouncil from Kaosö from 2008.
Analysis. There are nine tracks on the record, of which the shortest two, Ancestral Silence and Inanis, are the only instrumentals here. Basically representing versions of electronic soundscapes, using slowly droning synthesizers as their main or, rather, sole compositional element, both of them are largely spontaneous creations, differing from the others on all levels. The rest of the album is also pretty much uniform in style, but is much more varied musically. On each of the tracks with lyrical content (some of which are largely instrumental, though), the band alternates sections with heavy, doomy Space Metal-inspired, arrangements with ones that come across as more traditional Space Rock, and also with those whose content appears as a mixture of the latter genre and e-music, now driving out brutal (yet, at the same time, comparatively atmospheric) late 80/early Æ90 Bathory-style Doom Metal, now hovering in the dark, mysterious gothic places that might evoke Voivod on sedatives, now revealing gentler musical landscapes that are reminiscent of Tool in places, with Radiohead-like soundscapes connecting the other parts of the pieces, moving the story along with synthesizer effects and, at times, with narration. Take the albumÆs title track, for instance. It begins and develops with an aggressive Bathorish sound before moving into a more delicately balanced section, showcasing Marco PaddeuÆs vocals along with his fluid electric guitar, and also synthesizer, then quickly evolving back out into a more intense sonic disruption again, etc. Almost all of the other songs are similar to this, mainly differing from it, as well as from each other, only by the quantity of metalloids involved, and if on such tracks as the described one, Red Sky of Sorrow, Ancestral Silence and I Will Disappear into the Sun the heavier textures dominate over the softer ones, on Distances, Black Swan and Silent Sun we get the opposite picture, the latter two more often finding the synthesizer player creating loops and shimmering textures than any of the other songs do. One of those, Silent Sun, is the only largely instrumental vocal track here, its sole section with singing evoking something halfway between æA Pocket SunÆ from TiamatÆs ōWildhoneyö and æFeel So LowÆ from Porcupine TreeÆs ōLightbulb Sunö (at its most reflective), PaddeuÆs accented English particularly obvious here. Finally, Distances is my favorite composition here. Although still in many similar to the other songs, it additionally reveals some Arabic motifs, and also elements of Jazz-Fusion, courtesy of a trumpet. As for the musicianship, drummer Marcello Fattore beats all of his bandmates in technique. Regardless of the overall intensity of the music, the drums are always powerful and varied at once, at times appearing to be the only really soloing instrument in the arrangement.
Conclusion. All of the songs are precisely composed, with some really interesting changes in style and instrumentation, but since quite a few of their thematic storylines are prolonged, the end result isnÆt too impressive, at least from an orthodox progressive viewpoint. Anyhow, if the quartetÆs delivery is not as dare as either of the afore-cited bands, the audiences of the last two of them will fairly likely be ones to embrace this album.

Do I have to Google all of these myself, or can I get some links over here?
Hasslbeck makes me want to puke!! Did you know that our Progressive Talk station (AM 1090) has a public service announcement about how important his family is running every damn hour??!!
God, I hate professional athletes since they clearly do not stand for the things I value. Things like healthcare for everyone, quality and funded public education, clean air and water, no unjustified war ect....
Until the Chickenhawks come out supporting progressive causes they can suck my dick!! And they better swallow too.
Has anyone checked as to whether or not Gonzales remembers/recalls that he did in fact resign? Has Bush announced that he still supports his AG, AG?
RE; Bush's speach here - did we have to fight the communists on the west coast after leaving Vietnam?
Hasselbeck must be a real ass*hole. He's anti-gay, too. His voice sounds really gay on that PSA, btw. Go Hawks!
Matt Hasslebeck and Bush? It's the Jesus thing probably. Mack Strong? I dunno.
since some of those stories are accidentally missing links, here's a funny observation to pass the time: click on the seattle weekly link under friends of slog. this made me laugh quite a bit...
Who FUCKED everything up?!
War on Cronyism...Doesn't this say all you need to know about the Bush that they need a law to make the president appoint people that are qualified? I remember a time way back in the 1990s when that was common sense.
#6 that ensure.com ad has been up for a week on the Seattle Weekly link.
No wonder they choked in the Super Bowl and the conference semi-final if that's the type of performance they want out of a teammate.
Re: Missing weapons
"They may have lost the guns, but they'll soon be finding the bullets."
-Bill Maher
Apologies for the missing links. I switched computers to finish up the MN last night and somehow a save got missed.
All is fixed.
Scariest rumor of the day:
possible replacement for Gonzales = Lieberman
The Governor of Delaware is a Republican and would appoint his
successor. That would give control of the Senate to the Republicans (assuming you consider Leiberman an independent)
is Matt Hasslebeck married to that chick from the view? they are both assholes. isnt Shaun Alexander a republican fuck too? what is up with this team, i've never seen any sports team so open about their political and religious views. usually they just play and shut up, unless they are thanking jesus for a thing or two.
Strong has always been a hardcore republican, he worked on rossi's campaign and did a bunch of ads for that republican k c executive candidate who beat up his mom. hasselbeck is a right wing christian.
but hey is not just football, edgar martinez is a republican so is jay buhner and most of the old Ms were republicans, i think lou pinella is too, and curt (bloody sock) schilling is a tool almost as right wing as rush, most athletes dont care about politics, those that do, with the exception of the greatest baseball player of all time A-Rod are republicans or worst, christians.
@14, People need to stop the Leiberman baiting. Yeah, he is wrong on the war; no doubt about that. BUT he still votes with the Democrats on other issues that do matter.
Frankly, the Democrats will have done this to themselves if he does go to the administration and we end up with a GOP Senate.
Man, the last month has been a real treat for Bush II.
Let's beg Dear Leader to tell us who gives the best head: Canadians, Mexicans, Britons or Seahawks.
Once again the Seahawks endear themselves to the citizens of Seattle. What a couple of tools.
@9 I hope my boss doesn't start requiring me to be competent.
And that hot dog picture negates all the wonderful appeal of yesterday's illustration. *absence of twinkle*
Is Lieberman no longer the junior Senator from Connecticut?
Matt and Mack can give a jersey to Bush, just so long as they are willing to give one to Hillary, too.

Tucson, Arizona
Thank you to Richard Grant for a wonderful article on Tucson and the surrounding area ("Seduced by saguaros", January 30). It's just the tonic I needed on this cold English morning, and I shall try to keep the heat of Arizona in my mind for the rest of the day.
William, Bristol, website comment
I studied at the University of Arizona in Tucson about 10 years ago and the town is my favourite place to live. It has a low cost of living but a high standard of life. I remember the world's best sunsets and the hummingbirds in my garden most of all. If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd be on the first flight back, never to return.

The Exe Factor
Thank you so much to Brian Jackman for his article ("Devon's got the Exe Factor", January 23), which captured the spirit of the Exe Estuary so vividly and made a visit there essential.

Drinking on cruise ships
Like Dennis Lampshire, ("Ask Gill", January 16), I like to sit on my cruise ship balcony and have a drink or two. I have been on many cruises and find that on most ships it is possible to have a bottle of whisky or gin delivered to your cabin. There is usually a price list in the information wallet in the cabin. You just fill in the order and give it to the cabin steward, who will deliver the bottle and have it charged to your account. Prices vary from ship to ship but may be £5 or £10 above those at home. This is still cheaper than drinking in the ship's bar. After paying about £2,000 for a two-week cruise, I find an extra £10 is a small price to pay for the convenience.
Geoff Benfield, London
More on Kilimanjaro
Further to Liz Hunt's article on Kilimanjaro ("Climb and punishment", January 23) and readers' responses (Feedback, January 30), we were lucky enough to live on the slopes of Kilimanjaro in the Sixties and have returned three times since, most recently to celebrate our 60th birthdays.
It is a magnificent mountain, not least for its beautiful flowers – especially in the moorland region. These include everlasting flowers, giant lobelias and senecios and miniature gladioli. We wonder if today's climbers notice all these side attractions?
David and Catherine Burdekin, by email
Pretentious, moi?
Further to the comment from Mervyn Harris about the "plonker" Nicholas Lyndhurst (Feedback, January 30), we have in the most recent issue Kelly Hoppen (whoever she might be) telling us that she hates anything pretentious and in the next sentence sending her PA to prepare a villa she has rented in Ibiza (Heaven and Hell, January 30). Where do you find these people?
Michael Neill, Lichfield
I agree completely with Gill Charlton about north and central Portugal ("Portugal 2010", January 30). Going to the region really is like taking a welcome step back in time. Mercifully, it will never appeal to mass tourism. Those who experience it will go back many times.
Roger Day, website comment
If you like city breaks, Porto is diverse, exciting but relaxing at the same time. In the coastal town of Salgueiros, I stayed with my wife and elderly parents in an apartment with fantastic views and easy bus transport (about 15 minutes) into Porto. The bus journey is an event in itself, snaking around the villages outside Porto, then on to the city with the views of the river and the Port caves. An apartment in the town could also easily be used for a young family break because of the lovely beach and the proximity of the city.
Mike Murphy, website comment
The bare facts
Why do visitors to the Hotel W in Barcelona need to "be warned" about the nudists on the beach ("Hotel Watch", January 23)? Are they some kind of alien subspecies? Far more scary are the bar-hoppers and those who DJ until 3am.

"The volume stands as a splendid landmark in opening up comparative discussion about family and domestic religion in the ancient world, and does so with an admirably wide-reaching geographical and chronological scope." (New England Classics Journal , August 2009)
"This volume will find its place on the bookshelf of anyone looking for an authoritative treatment of religion and society in Mediterranean and West Asian antiquity." ( The Classical Journal , August 2009)
"As a collection of essays that provides insightful consideration of family or household religious life in many Near Eastern and classical cultures, it has the added benefit of offering a comparative perspective." (Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Spring 2009)
"[I would] recommend the book as a worthy addition to the field of ancient religious studies and a good read for those interested in the subject." (Scholia Reviews, 2009)
"The methodology of the volume is thus simultaneously contextual and comparative. An introductory essay provides a theorization of 'family,' 'household,' and 'religion' as analytical and comparative categories. A conclusion, written by the editors, offers comparative perspectives and suggests directions for future research. The individual essays provide excellent introductions to family religion in various historical periods, and would work well as introductory readings in undergraduate and graduate courses... .Recommended." (CHOICE)
"[The book] offers a counterpart to text-based religion - which equates to civic, public, state religion - by analysing religious rituals, locations and objects in setting governed more by collective memory than by rules." (The Times Literary Supplement, August 2008)

A trio of lawmakers in the House of Representatives has joined a Senate colleague in calling for the U.S. to retain oversight control over the Internet, as a showdown looms with countries wanting more say in how the Web is run.
Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), and Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) introduced a resolution with language similar to Sen. Norm Coleman's (R-Minn.) resolution introduced earlier in the U.S. Senate.
"The authoritative root zone server should remain physically located in the United States and the Secretary of Commerce should maintain oversight of ICANN so that ICANN can continue to manage the day-to-day operation of the Internet's domain name and addressing system," read the House resolution.
ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is a Calififornia-based non-profit tasked by the U.S. Department of Commerce to coordinate the Domain Name System (DNS), and manage the top-level domains like .com, .net, and .org. Commerce once did that job, but passed it on to ICANN in 1998.
The U.S. management is a legacy of the Internet's origins, which hark back to a Defense Department project, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Internet, launched in 1969.
Lately, however, several countries -- among them Brazil, China, Cuba, and Iran -- as well as organizations including the United Nations and the European Union have been pushing for a place at the Internet management table. In July, for instance, a U.N. report not only called for the U.S. to cede control, but said that the United Nations should set broader Internet policy, including multi-lingualization of the Web and the power to tax domains to pay for universal access.

It's not just poorly documented - it's not documented at all. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get the theme to link to blog posts while keeping the default static front page (the way it's seen on the developers' demo). Looks like that's asking too much from this "Lite" version. No custom menu support, which is a nonsense for a modern theme. Latest posts on the front page don't work, despite there being a setting for that on the Theme Options. Footer feature also doesn't work out of Theme Options, although it can be set via widgets.
All in all, the theme is generally unusable, although the demo might look deceivingly pretty. I'd strongly advise against installing it.

Texas A&M meat scientists have completed research that will not only bring more value to a beef carcass, but more nutritional choices for consumers. Joe Brown has more in this week's From The Ground Up.
"What you're seeing is really a revolution in the nutrition of the beef that's offered to consumers today."
"As you take this and break it down into the individual muscles, and produce cuts like this, you really enhance the nutritional value of this product to the consumer."
Meat scientist Dan Hale says lean red meat is a good fit for almost anyone's diet.
"When you go to the meat case nowadays, what you're going to see is a sea of red, and that red is really a great thing because that shows product that is low in fats, low in calories, and low in cholesterol."
"And Beef, along with the other meats, are very high in nutritional profile. They have a lot of zinc, a lot of vitamin B-12, in addition to that, just one six ounce serving will supply almost 90% of the protein needs that the average American has."
And beef is a great source for iron.
"Most women are deficient in iron, so beef is a great additional to the diet of those people that need more iron in their diet."
Hale says there are three 3 Ps to remember to insure you're eating healthy meat products
"The first one is picking the right cuts. Picking cuts that are lean, that have less fat on the outside. We're not talking about marbling, we're talking about the fat along the outside or the seam fat, like you see in this cut, the seam fats, so picking the right cut, cuts that are lean, a little bit of marbling is fine. Even the American Heart Association says that that will fit into a healthy diet. The second P is prepare it properly. The third P is eating the right proportions."
And according to Dr. Hale, when you put those three Ps together, you'll find out that beef will not only fit any diet, it will provide a lot of valuable nutrition to your diet as well. I'm Joe Brown, tracing the journey our food makes from the farm to our tables, From The Ground Up.
