It's more of a debate,than a talk. I'm not sure who wins though, me or myself. In the end it only confuses me more.

Communion, Notting Hill Arts Club, London
Thursday 04 March 2010
You'd expect the capital's most fertile ground for new musical acts to be somewhere hip like Camden in the north, or Dalston in the east. But right now it's the comfortable south-western enclaves of Barnes, Wimbledon and Fulham that seem to be producing the goods. Thus the first Sunday evening of every month sees dedicated followers of the district's folk scene descend the stairs to the Notting Hill Arts Club for Communion, a regular night organised by Mumford & Sons' keyboard player, Ben Lovett, and Cherbourg (the band, not the ferry port) bassist Kevin Jones.
This time around they're launching the Communion LP, a compilation of acts that's the first release for their record label of the same name. The evening features an enviable line-up of young artists, including Pete Roe, a solo singer-songwriter; NME-approved up-and-comers Kurran and the Wolfnotes; Marcus Foster, who had the good fortune to feature on the Twilight soundtrack; and Alessi's Ark, aka Alessi Laurent-Marke, a 19-year-old with a lovely voice and an intriguingly kooky persona, whose hushed songs are forced to do battle with the audience chatter.
That chatter is silenced by the two acts that bookend Alessi's set. Songwriter Joe Steer's outfit, Broadcast 2000, have already made a decent career soundtracking TV ads and trailers. Tonight the band is stripped of its string quartet, but the minimalist trio that remain produce a compellingly offbeat folk sound. Steer's songs are bolstered by some energetic glockenspiel bashing from the trucker-capped Tom Andrews. The band's eponymous debut album was released last week.
Matt Hegarty, better known as Matthew and the Atlas, is the first official signing to the Communion label and takes the stage with his full band for what's only (though you wouldn't guess it) their second gig. His contribution to the compilation is "Deadwood", a rolling acoustic riff that sounds not unlike John Martyn's "Over the Hill" being covered by Ray LaMontagne. Hegarty's enviably rich timbre is a powerful weapon. A shy fellow, he almost loses the crowd to chatter while re-tuning his guitar – only to open his mouth and spellbind them once more. His band closes the set with the rollicking "I Will Remain" from their forthcoming To the North EP, and are joined by Jones and members of Broadcast 2000 on handclaps and percussion. They're all friends here, after all.

Got 1st class tix. had compartment to ourselves for awhile--laid down & slept. In Meknes 2 others came in.
Nice driver took us to the Cottages. Difficult to find, but he was very nice.
Got in our cottage, Sylvain showed us around. Went to the pool.
Laid down, not feeling well. A/C not working. Sylvain couldn't get it to work, so we moved to another cottage.
Dinner: chicken & couscous--delish.

We walked. It was hot.
Lunch at (name coming) on way to Jardin Majorelle. I was dying for some iced tea. Of course, there was nothing like that on the menu. I saw someone at a table with a glass of ice, and it occurred to me that I could make my own.

We walked toward the spa and went into some streets that were just crazy: stalls of meat hanging in the open air (like half pigs for example)--couldn't stand the sight of the flies buzzing around the meat, stalls of some sort of cactus that I think they peel and eat??, huge bunches of mint--smelled really good, pastries that attracted gazillions of bees, and lots and lots of people, bikes, motorbikes all trying to fit in the same place. It was ...
Stepped on Africa
... using the landmarks our host had pointed out.
We changed clothes and went into the courtyard and put our feet into the plunge pool. Yow was it cold! After awhile we decided to go up to the top patio where we laid on lounge chairs and looked up at the sky watching the stars appear as it got darker and darker. A nice breeze kept the air moving, and it was a perfect temperature. It was quiet, but not too quiet. Definitely relaxing.
What a lovely place...
Not Culture Shock-Disorganized first impression
... trying to pick up on the slightest hint that you may be interested in an item as you make your way down the street. This is a market, a place where locals stroll through, hopping from merchant to merchant to buy all their items separately. For a tourist sensory overload, a kid in a candy shop, too much of everything but you're wanting more and more and more. The non consumable items they sell are not just the **** on a stick kinds you usually see in markets, this stuff ...

In Device Manager and pressing Show Hidden Devices,I have a few old programs or drivers or whatever that I have removed before.Like AVG.Bit Defender.Zemana Antilogger and no doubt there are more.
Is it safe to delete those,or better just leaving them as they are.Not sure if they are all drivers or drivers and files.
Gut feeling says safe to remove but thought that I would ask first.

all the others I delete.

We describe a variation of the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm for aligning two point sets under a set of transformations. Our algorithm is superior to previous algorithms because (1) in determining the optimal alignment, it identifies and discards likely outliers in a statistically robust manner, and (2) it is guaranteed to converge to a locally optimal solution. To this end, we formalize a new distance measure, fractional root mean squared distance (FRMSD), which incorporates the fraction of inliers into the distance function. Our framework can easily incorporate most techniques and heuristics from modern registration algorithms. We experimentally validate our algorithm against previous techniques on 2 and 3 dimensional data exposed to a variety of outlier types.

The past year or so has been quite busy for singer/rapper T-Pain; the Tallahassee native released numerous solo and collaborative Billboard-charting hits, won a Grammy for his work on Kanye West's Good Life, and started his own label, Nappy Boy Digital. Now, however, Teddy Pain is focusing on his forthcoming album, Thr33 Ringz (Sept 30). Always the life of the party, Pain has mixed some Silver & Gold Patron and serves it up on this newly-leaked song from his recent studio sessions. While Silver & Gold is not an official single from Thr33 Ringz (and might not even be included on the album), it proves that T-Pain still dominates at the art of "bar-hop." His fans can drink to that!

Promos With David Cook and Bikini Girl for American Idol Season Eight
Which Strategy Is Best for Selling American Idol?
by POPSUGAR Entertainment 14 Reactions 0 Shares Print
The first promos for American Idol season eight have started to air, and it appears Fox is taking two pretty different tactics when it comes to marketing this season.
One promo features the most recent winner, David Cook, flashing back through his Idol journey, which seems to fit with the network's plan to make the show more emotional this year. The other features . . . a girl in a bikini.
Check out the two promos and let me know: Do you think Idol should play up the emotional strategy or the sexy strategy in selling this eighth season? Or should the producers try something else entirely?

Coincidentally, the David Cook commercial came on Fox just as I started writing this! Being just slightly biased, I would rather see David's commercial (or as Allyace said, how about a show about David only?)
ilanac13 5 years
ok - jokingly i chose 'wait this show is still on'? i hate to say it but amid everything they try - i'm still bored. i watched more of it this past season than ever, but that's also partly because there was NOTHING else on tv at all!

i liked the commercial with David Cook on it, he's an amazing singer [contrary to what SOME might think]...the new contestants are gonna have a hard time following up on my beloved DC.
californiagirlx7 5 years
I thought that they were equal. The first one was creative, but cheesy, and the second one was kinda funny but the sexy thing is overplayed. I really hope next season is better than the last one because I was bored to tears in the beginning.

I voted "Wait, this show is still on?" I've never watched American Idol nor Latinamerican Idol. But I loved the parody they did in Psych about this show.

How about we just have a show about David Cook? :-P
billyart101 5 years
I don't think they were going for "Sexy", they were going for "funny". I've never liked the show, but what most people seem to enjoy are the bad performances and bad auditions. So, focus on the "funny" just like always. Don't all of the seasons at least start out strong?

I second amloveaffair completely. Make it go away!

I only watch AI for the auditions at the beginning of each season. It seems to me, though, that the emotional aspect is what keeps people watching more than any sex appeal the show's contestants might have.
Linda-McP 5 years
I really dislike AI, yet I always end up watching the final few shows, maybe because of the emotional tug at the end. Guess that's why I like the "Dreams Begin Again" approach of the first promo.
tiabia 5 years
I would go with the emotional approach, although I have pretty much severed by ties with American Idol.With American Idol being such a "behemoth" of a show, I think a lot of networks expect their shows to pull the kinds of numbers that this one does, and therefore good shows get cut. American Idol has created an almost unattainable goal for original television :-(. Ok, I'm done ranting.

Keith Whitney Scott
(April 21, 1949 - April 21, 2007)
After a short illness, Keith Scott died suddenly Saturday, April 21 at his Powell home on his 58th birthday.
He was born in Powell on April 21, 1949, son of Melvin and Jody Scott. He attended Powell schools and graduated from Powell High School in 1967. He attended Northwest College and graduated in 1969, then attended the University of Wyoming and Montana State University before returning to Powell to farm and raise cattle on Mantua Farms northeast of town.
The love of his life were his Shorthorn cattle. He enjoyed showing, selling and talking "good" cattle. He has been a director of the American Shorthorn Association and has attended and shown cattle at most major shows. He cherished and phoned often good friends in the industry all over the United States and abroad.
He was also a past director of the Deaver Irrigation District.
Survivors include his father, Melvin (Mary) Scott of Powell; sister, Kathy Scott of Portland, Ore.; brother, Steve (Marian) Scott of Powell; nephew, Zachary Scott-Singley of Tampa, Fla.; nieces, Ingrid Scott of Portland, Ore., Misty and Cassie Scott of Powell; and his dog, "Koda."
The family is comforted in the belief that the Lord most have needed a "cattleman" to attend his Red, White and Roans.
A Keith Scott Memorial fund has been established at Shoshone First Bank in Powell.
Viewing will be Wednesday, April 25 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Thompson Funeral Home. Visitation at the funeral home will be from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Thursday, with funeral services set at 11 a.m. at the Union Presbyterian Church.

Clay Eugene Miller
(Oct. 28, 1941 - April 19, 2007)
Funeral services will be conducted today (Tuesday, April 24) at 10 a.m. at the LDS Church on Seventh Street for long-time Powell resident Clay Eugene Miller, 65, who died Thursday, April 19 at Powell Valley Hospital of an apparent heart attack. His loving wife, Dianne, was at his side.
Clay was born Oct. 28, 1941, to Carl and Gwendolyn Sessions Miller in Oakland, Calif. He attended school in Powell, graduating from Powell High School in 1959.
He farmed with his father as a young man, but Clay's entrepreneurial spirit manifested itself early when at age 15 he purchased his own swather and began contracting with local farmers to help with the harvest. After graduation, Clay worked for Mountain States Telephone Company until 1961 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany with the 30th Medical Group providing communications.
He was honorably discharged, returned home and married Stanlee Jameson on April 16, 1965. This union was blessed with three sons, Chad, Darren, and Ryan. His children were the joy of his life, and he loved nothing more than supporting them and enjoyed their growth and successes.
Clay was a Master Electrician, and in 1977 he started Clay's Electrical Service (Prime Power and Communications) in Powell. Through his business he provided employment opportunities to many and electrical services to individuals, oil companies, and power companies throughout Wyoming and Montana. He had several other successful business ventures for which he was once named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Powell Valley Chamber of Commerce. Until his death, he served on the board of directors of both Garland Light and Power and Tri-State Generation and Transmission.
Clay was married and sealed to Dianne Grant Reel on June 24, 1989, in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they loved to travel, be outdoors, spend time with family, and attend sporting and other events for their grandchildren, sometimes traveling great distances to do so. His little Maltese dog, Billy, held a special place in his heart and went wherever Clay did. He loved camping, appreciated the beauties of nature, and he and Dianne were always up for a new adventure.
He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served in various positions in the church over the years. Clay and Dianne particularly enjoyed their time spent in service at the Billings, Montana Temple. He taught his children and all who knew him the principles of generosity and service. He was always helping someone and was one of the most generous of men.
He is survived by his wife of 18 years, Dianne Grant Miller; his mother, Gwen Miller of Powell; sons, Chad (Amy) Miller of Fruit Heights, Utah, Darren (Kristan) Miller of Frisco, Texas, Ryan (Tiffany) Miller of Layton, Utah, and Brett (Janice) Reel of Claremore, Okla.; a daughter, Renee (Tony) Humphries of Powell; and 16 grandchildren. Also surviving are his siblings, Carleen (Dick) Kattenhorn of Lafayette, Colo., Rick (Dorothy) Miller of Littleton, Colo., Pearl (Keith) Lewis of Orem, Utah, and Myrna (Todd) Welch of Colorado Springs, Colo.
He was preceded in death by his father, Carl Eugene Miller, and granddaughter, Katelyn Ann Miller.
Burial will be in Crown Hill Cemetery in Powell. Haskell Funeral Home of Lovell is handling arrangements. Memorial contributions can be made to the Clay Miller Electrical Apprenticeship Scholarship at the Northwest College Foundation, 231 West Sixth Street, Powell, WY, 82435.

Raymond Karlin
(Dec. 7, 1925 - April 14, 2007)
Ray Karlin, 81, died at his home in Powell on Saturday, April 14, following a long hard fight against mesothelioma, an asbestos cancer of the lungs.
Ray was born Dec. 7, 1925 near Beulah, N. D., the 10th and last child of Rosina (Weisenberger) and George Karlin. He graduated from Beulah High School in May, 1944, and promptly enlisted in the U.S. Navy in June of 1944. He served in the Pacific and was in Tokyo Bay when the peace documents were signed.
Following the military service, Ray returned to North Dakota to work a short time, then enrolled in Montana State College of Bozeman for one year. He then moved back to North Dakota and attended Minot State Teacher's College where he received his B.S. degree. His first teaching job was in Landa, N. D.
On June 2, 1953, he married Isabell Schwegman, who was a registered nurse employed at the hospital in Minot. To this union were born four children: Rose Marie, Kathryn Ann, Jean Louise, and Steven Ray.
Ray pursued his further degree of Education specialist at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. The Karlin family spent eight years in Regent, N. D., one year in Hamilton, Mont., and nine years in Meeteetse, where Ray was a superintendent of schools.
The tragic death of Jean Louise in 1964 from a devastating bout of croup at the age of 2 years and eight months left the family inconsolable. They found solace in a move to the McKenzie River Valley for the 1971-1972 school years.
The torrential rains that fell that winter made it a mandate to accept a position of assistant superintendent of schools in Powell at the request of Superintendent Neal Large. They remained in Powell until Ray's retirement in December of 1987. They wintered in Yuma, Ariz., until Isabell's death in early 1996, also a cancer victim.
Ray then married Betty Van Wagoner Johnson in May of 1997, and they enjoyed 10 years together, fishing, traveling, and spending time at the cabin on the North Fork.
He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, one sister, and a daughter, Jean Louise.
He is survived by his wife, Betty of Powell; two daughters, Rose Marie (Jerry) French of Powell, and Kathryn Ann (Dave) Crane of Arlington, Texas; one son, Steven Ray (Mary) Karlin of Garden City, Kans.; brothers, Rolland, Alt, and Andrew Karlin; and sister, Martha Donahue Portola of California; grandchildren; Adam and Elise Crane of Arlington, Texas; Zachary and Reagan Karlin of Garden City, Kans.; John French of Milwaukee Wisc,; Dan French of Sheridan; and Casey and Brittany French of Powell, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Rosary will be said on Wednesday, April 18, 7 p.m., at St. Barbara's Catholic Church. Funeral Mass will be celebrated Thursday April 19, 10 a.m., at St. Barbara's. Visitation will be one hour before the rosary on Wednesday night, and one hour before the Mass on Thursday.
Donations may be made to the Powell Medical Foundation and Powell Valley Healthcare Hospice. Thompson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

He married Muriel H. Birtwistel on Oct. 27, 1941, and to this union one daughter was born. He was a gifted woodworker and had a passion for genealogy. His greatest enjoyment was his family, and he was their patriarch.

Corbelli; three great-grandchildren; sisters Geneva Peterson of Powell; Lois Purvis of Cody; Leona Link of California; Zona Gale Christensen of Florida; sister-in-law Mona Phay of Powell; and several nieces, nephews and cousins in the Powell area.

A celebration of his life will be held at the United Methodist Church in Powell at 2 p.m. today (Tuesday), May 2, with burial at Crown Hill Cemetery following services.
He was born in Columbus, Kans., Oct. 28, 1924, to George and Irene Christiansen, third of eight children. He graduated from high school and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1944 where he worked with radio, electronics and radar mechanics. He served in the 97th Bomb Group in Fogga, Italy and received an honorable discharge in 1946. He attended Kansas State College, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Husbandry in May of 1950.
While attending college in Manhattan, Kans., he met Martha Weathered, and they were married in Norwich, Kans., Oct. 21, 1950. Everett and Martha lived near Cherokee, Kans., farming and dairying. In 1953, Everett moved his family to Powell where he worked for Associated Seed a short time, then he worked for John Krause three years.

He also spent three months in Kenya, Africa as a "Volunteer In Mission" helping with a water project.
After he retired from farming, he enjoyed mowing the roadside with his riding lawn mower. He never gave up living life to the fullest as long as it was possible. Everett and Martha moved to town in 1996, and they continued walking and keeping active. In August of 2002 he entered the Powell Valley Care Center, where he loved and appreciated the staff and their caring ways. He participated in activities there, as long as possible.

Federal debt, political morass highlighted at Pickler's inaugural economic summit
Send this story to a friend
- Cole Epley
- Staff writer- Memphis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
It's been 20 years since Democratic presidential challenger Bill Clinton successfully campaigned on the slogan, 'The economy, stupid,' but the maxim's subject matter rings just as true — if not even more so — today.
The stats are hard to ignore: Americans face a federal deficit that just topped $16 trillion as well as a fiscal cliff that, if left unattended, is all but certain to result in a recession. These and a host of other economic matters were central to Pickler Wealth Advisors' Fiscal Academy Economic Summit hosted Sept. 6 at the FedEx Institute of Technology, and were among the five biggest takeaways from the inaugural event. We'll start with:
1. The federal debt load
The Washington Update's Jeff Bush led off the evening's presentations, and he started by detailing the mounting federal debt problem — and the lack of revenue to remedy it.
He cited information from the December 2010 report of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, a report that demonstrated, among other things, federal spending is up. Way up. So far up, in fact, that only during World War II was federal spending a larger part of the economy.
Compounding issues is the fact that, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 48.6 percent of American families received some type of government benefit in second quarter 2010. Combined with a net tax rate that presently sits at a 30-year low, Bush set forth a stark reality.
"At this point of the economy we're in, is it realistic to expect the government to tax its citizens at a 30-year low net rate?" he asked.
2. Obamacare
While Bush said it's no longer relevant to ask how the Supreme Court came to uphold the Affordable Care Act on constitutional grounds, the bigger question is why it was upheld — and what happens after the forthcoming general and congressional elections.
What is certain is that, if left intact, the Affordable Care Act will cost some money — $1 trillion over 10 years, according to conservative government estimates — and that thinking it can be paid for without substantive tax increases is a folly.
3. What about those elections, anyway?
Remember this: there will be big changes in Washington come 2013. Obviously, Mitt Romney has his eyes on unseating President Barack Obama from the Oval Office, and the campaigns are growing more heated by the day.
But the more compelling change — and arguably, the most important — will be which party controls the Senate, said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at Boston-based LPL Financial Inc.
"Democrats are unlikely to take the House and you have to think back and see that a one-party Congress makes the most sense," Kleintop said. "The markets have historically tended to favor single-party control of Congress, so a shift would be groundbreaking for the markets."
Of course, the Federal Reserve will play a big role in the economy, regardless of who takes the White House, Senate or House, so there's yet another unknown to factor into the equation.
4. The 'fiscal cliff' is fast-approaching...
...and it isn't pretty. Bush called it a "confluence of two realities," those being the scheduled expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, which will cost an estimated $3.6 trillion, and $2.1 trillion in federal spending cuts.
What is particularly worrisome is that a bitterly bipartisan Congress already showed that it has no qualms stretching discussions into the eleventh hour. Can we expect more of the same?
"All this finger-pointing, all this fighting across the aisles and nothing that's been accomplished over the last two years, it's probably not going to get any better," Bush said.
5. So, where does this all lead?
Neither presenter made any endorsement or one-sided argument in favor of one political party or another — apparently, there's enough of that going on already. The big tie-in, according to LPL's Kleintop, is that we're at the convergence of three cycles: an election cycle, an economic cycle and an emerging markets cycle.
Industry data recently published by Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management showed two-thirds of the world's GDP growth will come from emerging markets this year. Kleintop said these up-and-coming markets will sustain growth of the global GDP "for a long time."
And as the American economy continues to trudge along the precipice of recovery, things are likely to remain interesting.
"In the last 14 months, individual investors have been net sellers each month," he said. "I'm predicting a return to volatility."

A Halo 2 cutscene transforms for The Master Chief Collection
How much work does Blur Studio put into revamping and remaking Halo 2's cutscenes for Halo 2 Anniversary? Quite a bit more than the minute-and-a-half's worth you see in the video above, but we're okay with a highlight reel. If you want to see just how far visual fidelity has progressed...
New Starcraft 2 videos: cinematic trailer and some single player gameplay
Consider yourself spoiler-warned: there's a very familiar face at the end of the cutscene above. But, if you played through Starcraft and the Brood War expansion, you had to know this particular person was still around. But the statute of limitations on that expired eons ago, so don't blame us. ...
Top 5: Worst. Cutscenes. Ever.
According to Activision (and after all, they made Pitfall!), video games will "eclipse" all other forms of media. Head honcho Mike Griffith went on to say that "Movies, recorded music and TV - these are all stagnating or contracting entertainment sectors." I'm not sure how much I agree...
Breaking: Metal Gear Solid 4 to have really long cutscenes
If you haven't been getting along with Metal Gear Solid's blend of neck-snapping stealth and expository blabbering, the fourth (and sort of final) game in the series is unlikely to sway your opinion. CVG reports that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots features 90 minutes of cutscenes and......

Square-Enix has posted another cutscene from its action-RPG title, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates. The short clip doesn't have any of the voice acting that was featured in the introduction movie, but we do get to see some interaction between Cherinka, one of the game's two Clavat...
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates opening video
