This top provides great support even if you're busty, which is a bonus. Its also super cute and isn't to revealing. My only complaint is the padding gets scrunched all the time but its not a big deal to fix.

I love this top! It's super comfortable and fits really well. I have tried other tops similar to this and they never fit because I am really small. I got this in virdine green and it is a really nice colour. I really like how it provides a little more coverage than other bikini tops, it's also really different than anything else I have! The padding does get scrunched up easily but it's easy to fix.

The Ten Most Badass Band Names in DFW

The Cheap Bastard Guide to Dallas
By Alice Laussade
The D.O.C. has spoken openly and often about his desire to put Dallas hip-hop on the map. Which isn't exactly a new goal: Area hip-hop acts have been placing calls to Rand McNally for at least a decade, and while some have come close (say, Mad Flava, maybe, or Nemesis), none of them has quite made it. For whatever reason, no one from D-FW has been able to break the tape at the finish line, while fellow Texans, such as the Rap-A-Lot Records roster, South Park Mexican and U.G.K., have been doing just fine for years. Things could change: Taking notes from Southern rebels in Houston and New Orleans, a few D.I.Y. hip-hop labels have emerged in Dallas, attempting to break down the industry's 2-3 zone and make it into the paint. Redrumm Recordz, Major Money Entertainment and, now, D.O.C.'s Silverback Records offer an outlet where there wasn't much of one before, just a series of underfunded, self-released discs that came and went like a male gigolo.
After attending the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network's West Coast Summit in L.A. last month--surrounded by Def Jam founder Russell Simmons, Death Row heavy Suge Knight, DJ Quik, Kurupt and Mack 10, among others--D.O.C. may have figured out a way to make D-FW a player at long last. Striking up a relationship with HHSAN, D.O.C. and Minister Benjamin Muhammad have been busily making preparations for a similar summit in Dallas, scheduled sometime this fall. Until then, Silverback's Web site, www.silverbackrecords.com, will act as a clearinghouse for information about HHSAN and its various projects, such as Rap the Vote. D.O.C. also plans to donate a portion of the publishing proceeds from "DFW," a track from his forthcoming album, Deuce, to HHSAN's local endeavors--establishing community centers, voter registration drives and so forth.
By the time of the Dallas summit, D.O.C. hopes to already be in the middle of a successful comeback. Deuce is set for release on June 11, and from what we've heard so far, his damaged voice may not be what it once was (and probably never will be), but D.O.C.'s certainly closer to the loose-lipped style he perfected on 1989's appropriately titled No One Can Do It Better. (It's best to forget 1996's Helter Skelter.) Based on that, as well as his name recognition from his relationship with Dr. Dre, we'd say D.O.C. has as good a chance as any of finally angling the spotlight toward North Texas. And maybe that'll prop the door open wide enough for a few others to squeeze in as well--The Legendary Fritz, 6Two, The Free Agents, Gylo, Pikahsso, whoever. If not, we'll be sad but not surprised. Already happened way too much to shock us anymore. That said, no sense in waiting on everyone else to notice local hip-hop: Evolution Wednesdays at Inferno Lounge and the Final Friday showcases at Liquid Lounge could always use your support...
The pAper chAse's next full-length, Hide the Kitchen Knives, is just about finished, a follow-up to last year's cntrl-alt-del-u EP and 2000's Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know long-player. The label that released Young Bodies, Washington, D.C.-based Beatville Records, will issue the CD version; Chicago's Divot Records (which put out the EP) will handle the vinyl; and Southern UK will handle everything overseas (including a re-release of Young Bodies). The European release date is sometime in June, with a stateside street date soon after. For now, you can catch the group at the impending Fry St. Fair, scheduled for April 20, with performances by Mike Watt, Frank Black and the Catholics, The Polyphonic Spree and many others. Come for the bands, stay for the Hacky Sack...
In case you missed it, the 2002Dallas Observer Music Awards show happens at Gypsy Tea Room on April 16, featuring a headlining set by Slobberbone (last year's winner for Best Album), as well as shorter performances from Pleasant Grove, The Scrap Hotel (the new outfit from Old 97's Ken Bethea and Philip Peeples), Eleven Hundred Springs and Chomsky. Tickets are free and available via our Web site, www.dallasobserver.com. Again, come for the bands, stay for the Hacky Sack...
This week in Sack of Kittens, our spotlight for bands that are successful at packing clubs, yet unsuccessful at making good music: Alligator Dave and the Couch Band. Looks like? A random assortment of frat boys, led by the unfortunately dreadlocked, self-styled "Gulf Coast Honky," who probably was the rest of the band's weed hook-up in college. Sounds like? Scatological Southern rock meets fake funk, or pretty much exactly what you'd expect, based on a description of their appearance. Sample song titles? "Pussa Pussa," "Ass Factory," "Spank My Monkey," "The Panty Invasion Tour," "Eager Beaver," "Purple Headed Warrior." Sample lyrics? "Purple headed warrior/Woman destroyer/I'm about to need a lawyer to tell you what she said!/She said, go on now, bend me over/Take that Range Rover of yours, and park it on my ass," from, you guessed it, "Purple Headed Warrior." (That Dave, quite the feminist.) Celebrity fan? Dallas Mavs boss Mark Cuban, spotted in the audience eating it up at a recent Club Clearview gig. (True story: At said show, Cuban was initially denied entrance after being told that saying, "Don't you know who I am?" was not, actually, the night's cover charge.) Where can you find them? Headlining at most of the clubs in the area; smoking out on a regular basis; trying to find new and inventive euphemisms for genitalia and/or getting it on. Number of kittens in the sack they're currently standing on? Three or four, but we want to say zero; we're pretty sure the phrase "sack of kittens" is just turning AD on right about now.

- Loved our first brunch visit!SundaybrunchgoersDined on 11/2/2014Food and atmosphere was great! The price for brunch was excellent! We may become Sunday brunch regulars. Two thumbs up! One negative note, your outdoor hostess was not friendly. She seemed friendly towards those she knew and didn't say hello to other customers. The wait staff was awesome and on point! Always asking us if we were comfortable, did their job well. Unlike the hostess who appeared to only be concerned with making sure there was enough room for her to walk around. My advice, don't keep someone outside if they aren't being helpful.. hence, the very reason you put a hostess outside. The waitstaff and host/hostess are supposed to work as a team.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent meal - Awesome viewEnigmaPDXDined on 10/19/2014Although it may be slightly overpriced, I sat on the patio overlooking the sunset that was glorious. Our waitress for the evening was a little out of sync, brought the bread before the bread plates or any silverware. Getting my water glass refilled was a bit problematic, but it did occur. The major issue was sitting right next to the evenings performer was exceptionally loud, hard to hear the waitress and her me. The performer was very good an I did not mind the noise during the meal, was just a pain whilst trying to order. The meal was expertly prepared and I was warned up front, medium rare here is truly medium rare, if you do not like it red in the middle order medium. The sides of potatoes and beans were also very good.Special Features:
- Great Afternoon DiningRussDined on 10/19/2014It was very nice having Brunch on the open patio while listening to the live music. Staff was very attentive. This was our first time here but will not be the last. Thank you for a great time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Hit and MisssanavsDined on 10/16/2014The first two times I ate here were spectacular. This time, we had a very slow waiter with a laid-back attitude who forgot to bring one of our sides.

- Great Meal and ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/26/2014Sat outside while a band was performing and no problem with excessive noise. We had an appetizer special (fried Avocado) and a couple of dinner specials (seafood and steak). All very well prepared, presented nicely and delicious. Only complaint on the meal was there did not seem to be anyone knowledgeable regarding the wine list. Requested a recommendation for a $60 -$70 bottle of Pinot Noir and got back two choices not on the list with no details. In that range, my view is someone should have been there to describe it. Ambiance score would have been higher but there were a number of kids running from their tables to the dance floor. Puts the restaurant in a tough spot and mildly annoying.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- LIKE THE PLACElakeDined on 9/15/2014We wanted to eat on the patio and stay for the band but a big rain storm hit so we ate in one of the dinning rooms. We had a waitress in training, Rachel with Austin, service was fine. Food was great but I have to say it is pricey, one drink+steaks for two $155.00 not including tip. Went to the patio bar and attentive bartender, Dustin, remembered me from previous visits. I take my service dog JAX, and he is always welcomed there. The last time I was there 2 weeks ago there was a deputy sheriffs car lurking in the dark at the stop below the restaurant to the highway. I have brought this to the attention of the general manager, who told me that this has happened frequently.Special Features:

Our server's name was Regina. She did an excellent job of helping us with a wine selection from an extensive list. The steaks were great as you would expect but the restaurant also serves as an accompaniment lobster butter which really made the steak unique. Finished the dinner with caramel bread pudding - one serving enough for 4 people. Would definitely go back then next time that I am in town.Special Features:
- Great as usualFlyingTDined on 9/12/2014Our table was ready on time, complimentary valet parking was very nice with the rainy night. The steaks, et al, were fantastic as always. The waiter, David, was friendly, knowledgeable, and as fast as a crowded restaurant would allow him.Special Features:

They didn't know 'til we arrived, but within minutes everyone involved in our service knew - it was an impressive display of customer care.

Our waiter, Nathan treated us like we were his only table, yet the other parts of the restaurant were active. We had Chateau Briand for two which was marvelous. The wine list by-the-glass was only okay, but everything else was top notch. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

McMillan Palgrave
In early June 1943, James Eric Swift, a pilot with the 83rd Squadron of the Royal Air Force, boarded his Lancaster bomber for a night raid on Münster and disappeared.
Widespread aerial bombardment was to the Second World War what the trenches were to the First: a shocking and new form of warfare, wretched and unexpected, and carried out at a terrible scale of loss. Just as the trenches produced the most remarkable poetry of the First World War, so too did the bombing campaigns foster a haunting set of poems during the Second.
In researching the life of his grandfather, Daniel Swift became engrossed with the connections between air war and poetry. Ostensibly a narrative of the author's search for his lost grandfather through military and civilian archives and in interviews conducted in the Netherlands, Germany, and England, Bomber County is also an examination of the relationship between the bombing campaigns of World War II and poetry, an investigation into the experience of bombing and being bombed, and a powerful reckoning with the morals and literature of a vanished moment.
& Taylor
The author analyzes the abundance of poetry inspired by World War II while researching the life and fate of his missing-in-action Royal Air Force pilot grandfather, examining the relationship between the conflict's bombing campaigns and its poetry.

Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
Unexpected shutdown and then restart, upon mouse scrolling
This happens virtually everyday on this new computer I got at work.
Suddenly when I'm in the process of scrolling the page using mouse wheel (either browser, or microsoft word document, etc) the screen blinks for a fraction of second, and the whole system shuts down as if somebody pulled the plug out, and then immediately restarts showing dialogue of whether I want to start windows normally or in the safe mode.
I have looked in the event logs but the only thing it tells me there is that there was an unexpected shutdown. The same in that reliability place.
Has anyone come across this, what could be the problem and how I would diagnose it? I cannot replicate it at will, as it only happens occasionally when scrolling, at other times scrolling is fine and does not produce this result.
Many thanks.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Gushue gone, Stoughton to face Jacobs at Prairie Classic
PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE — The first of the big guns fell in the Prairie Classic on Saturday evening, as Newfoundland skip and 2006 Olympic gold medalist Brad Gushue and his team were eliminated from the World Curling Tour event in Portage la Prairie after just four games.
Despite a valiant comeback attempt against Russian squad Team Andrey Drozdov, Gushue and his squad couldn't close the gap, falling 8-5. Both teams were battling to stay in contention, with Gushue still reeling from previous losses to Saskatchewan's Team Steve Laycock and Manitoba's Team Jeff Stoughton.
Also in the 5 p.m. draw at Portage Curling Club, Regina's Team Joel Jordison was pushed out of the Prairie Classic by Toronto skip John Epping and his crew, Russia's Team Evgeniy Arkhipov bested Norway's Markus Hoiberg 6-3 to stay in the tournament, and young Stonewall skip Jared Kolomaya survived 8-2 over Winnipeg's Dennis Bohn rink.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg's Team Sean Grassie suffered their second loss of the Prairie Classic, going 4-2 against Sweden's Oskar Eriksson, to fall into the C level of the triple-knockout competition. Joining them there is Winnipeg's Team Richard Daneault, which fell to Toronto skip Mark Kean and friends.
After that, the stage was set for a Brier final rematch, as Stoughton prepared to face 2013 Canadian champion Team Brad Jacobs in the 8:30 p.m. draw on Saturday, in a battle to stay out of the elimination danger zone.
Jacobs dropped his first game of the four-day tournament on Saturday afternoon, falling 6-1 to a surging Team Brock Virtue in six ends at the Portage Curling Club. The Saskatchewan-based Virtue, who previously beat four-time world champion Glenn Howard on Friday, will now face Manitoba's own unbeaten Team Mike McEwen at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday night in a battle for one of the first two playoff qualification spots.
McEwen is still undefeated after three, having struck early and held the lead against Team John Morris on Saturday afternoon.
In another A-group battle, Minnesota's Team John Shuster edged the reigning world champion, Sweden skip Niklas Edin, and 2012 Prairie Classic champ Kevin Koe beat Saskatchewan's Team Laycock to continue undefeated. Shuster and Koe will now battle on Saturday night for a qualification spot.
The 1:30 p.m. draw on Saturday also featured the first elimination games of the triple-knockout tournament, as the field will narrow from 32 teams to 22 before the tournament continues on Sunday. Out of contention are Gladstone's Team Geoff Trimble, the Portage Curling Club team skipped by Ryan Hyde, and Winnipeg's Team Don Nelson, who lost to Chinese entrant Team Rui Liu.
In the morning draw, Stoughton bounced back from a rough Prairie Classic start, putting Gushue 5-1 in just six ends. The win came after Stoughton's rink stumbled on day one, dropping their first match against Russia's Team Evgeny Arkhipov, then squeaked out a win in an extra end against Saskatchewan's Jeff Hartung.
Elsewhere on the sheets at the 10 a.m. Prairie Classic draw, which consisted entirely of teams that had lost one match on the first day of competition, Thunder Bay's Team Brian Adams Jr. handily put away Saskatchewan's Team Joel Jordison 8-3 in five ends, and Sean Grassie's crew routed fellow Winnipeggers in Team Dennis Bohn 6-2 in seven ends.
Kean bested Norway's Markus Hoiberg 7-3 in seven ends, while Sweden's Oskar Eriksson put away young Stonewall skip Jared Kolomaya by the exact same score.
Prairie Classic draws continue at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Portage Curling Club. The event continues tomorrow, with the finals slated for Monday.

these guys, it's their work tool. They know what they use in fuel, while most consumers really don't."
The case for electric vehicles can't be all about fuel, Dr. Smyth said. "If the price of fuel were high, certainly that would make it easy for us," he said. "But we have to go through this transformation, and we don't have a choice." We're pulling 85 million barrels of oil out of the ground every day." Oil in 2030 is projected to cost $105 or $110 a barrel, "and that is even with the current recession," he said.
The U.S. must diversify from petroleum, Dr. Smyth said. Currently, it is more 95 percent dependent on oil. "We must come up with low-carbon alternatives." Cellulose ethanol offers potential carbon savings of around 50 percent over petroleum with advanced internal combustion engines. "There aren't any 80 percent reductions out there," he said. "We really have to look at developing alternatives and developing them rapidly if we want to drive down CO2. We have to stay on this path, and that is why we have to be working with the government to make sure this is a success."
Dr. Good asked if anyone has made a serious attempt to model the entire system. "Let's assume you can get 30 percent electric vehicles in 20 years," she said. "Does anyone have a model of what the grid would have to look like?
Mr. Van Amburg said he has seen good models developed by utilities. "If you are shifting your charging to night-time, and you are using off-peak energy during that trough, it doesn't have that much impact on the overall production of the grid," he said. "The biggest issue is deploying individual vehicles on the grid because of the potential draw you are getting if you had a whole bunch of electric vehicles in one neighborhood. But based on the models I've seen, it wouldn't necessary make us get into a lot more production of electricity," he said.
Electric vehicle penetration of 5 percent is a very different problem than 25 percent, Dr. Good noted. "I don't think people have really run the right models yet. Even if I run off peak, I have to use more fuel to run the electricity. If I look around the country today, there are areas that have some extra capacity. But there isn't that much extra capacity running loose. I don't know that we have actually made a good model, and it seems we ought to do that fairly soon so we have answers to people about how we are going to provide that electricity. If you are trying to rev this up to 25 percent in the next 10 years, you had better get on that problem now."
It will be a very long time before 25 percent of cars are electric, simply because of the rate at which vehicles in use turn over, Dr. Sperling replied. "That is a long, long way off, and we do have models on that."
A more critical issue is the effect on local transformers, he said. "You have that neighborhood clustering effect that can be very disruptive," Dr. Sperling said.

Dirt Rod
From Terraria Wiki
|Dirt Rod
|Max stack
|Use time
|Magically moves dirt.
|Buy / Sell
|20 / 4
The Dirt Rod is a unique tool that is used solely to move Dirt Blocks around the World. It can only be used on Dirt Blocks. Unlike the use of ordinary mining Tools and block placement, the Rod has essentially unlimited range, limited only by the game's screen size. The Dirt Rod is purchased from the Dryad.
- Triggering traps: The Dirt Rod allows you to trigger the trap from long range by removing dirt block, instead of having to mine the blocks from close range.
- Cavern exploration: Players can wall themselves in from danger and rearrange the area. This may include walling off passages and bridging lava pools.
- Fluid systems: Open or seal 'pipes' for Obsidian production.
- It is also useful on multiplayer servers, if it is allowed.
- It loses some of its usefulness once the Mechanic is found, as Mechanisms generally offer a more sophisticated method of constructing traps and fluid systems.
- It is currently useless on the console versions of the game as the game will not allow you to move the cursor more than a few blocks away.
- It is also rather useless on the mobile version, where it uses all your mana almost instantly and only destroys a single block of dirt.
Bug 22.214.171.124.1: If you click the edge of a dirt block, with another block on next to that edge you can move the dirt block through a 1 thick wall, or cause it to drop as an item if the wall is thicker.
- 1.2.3: Fixed bug where you couldn't pick up crimson grass and hallowed grass with dirt rod. Fixed bug where dirt rod ball shakes erratically in water.
- 1.2: Mana cost reduced from 5 to 0.
- Pre-Release: Introduced.

Gerardo Parra Wins Gold Glove For Outfield Play With D-Backs: A Great Call
|One of baseball's best outfielders, Gerardo Parra.
|One of baseball's best outfielders, Gerardo Parra.
Mr. Rubin, I think Gerardo Parra is very deserving of this award, but only by a macromillimeter over Chris Young, if at all. Parra's offense was better than his glove, but I think Young is the better overall player and team leader. I got to watch Parra throw out TWO runners on consecutive plays at third base early in the season. After the All Star break the opposing third base coaches stopped trying to move the runners to third when Parra got to the ball. I think the FU home run was the epitome of the season for Parra......

Drones Deliver Booze in South Africa
Attendees at a summer music festival will have their beers dropped from unmanned planes.
| Share
To keep attendees liquored up at the OppiKoppi music festival in South Africa this August, there will be an unmanned "drone" on hand to deliver booze from the sky. Partygoers will be able to phone in their orders, and the drone will pass over and drop the beers from tiny parachutes on to the District 9 camp site. "This is the sort of ordinance drones should really deliver all over the world," reads the drone makers' description on YouTube. Although this is the first known use of drones to deliver booze, a taco delivery service recently attempted to use a similar system in San Francisco, but the operation was grounded under FAA regulations. Check out a video of the beer-dropping drone below:

As a Resto Druid I won this a few days ago - Enlightenment - and thought it would be a nice upgrade because I am currently using the Blade of the Silver Disciple and the Scepter of Murmuring Spirits.
It turns out when I put on Enlightenment I gain a bunch of gear score (oh boy! ... Heh) but I actually lose what would turn out to be 3 healing (after gemming/enchanting) and a bunch of crit, I'd gain a bit of haste, but my trinket procs so often that I don't really need it.
Question is: My off-hand sucks and I know it, it's from Razuvious... Where can I get a better on fit for a Druid Healer? I've been through ToC10 and haven't seen anything yet... Suggestions for somewhere else, or just stick it out for now?

The AfterEllen.com 2009 Visibility Awards
Callie tells her father that he can't "pray away the gay" on Grey's Anatomy 10/15/09 (ABC)
Last year, Dr. Hahn's "I see leaves" speech took the honors as our favorite TV moment. Grey's Anatomy had us cheering again in 2009, this time when Callie took on her father's homophobia.
StuntDouble weighs in:
Grey's Anatomy episode 6.5 "Invasion" — Grey's Anatomy's "Invasion" gave us one of the best ever coming out defenses: "You cannot pray away the gay!"
Callie doesn't say it apologetically. In fact, she doesn't say it at all. She shouts it at her father across a crowded hospital because he's brought the family priest to try to talk her out of her lesbian relationship with Arizona.
When his initial confrontation doesn't work, Callie's dad pulls out some biblical flash cards, which causes Callie to preach:
Jesus: A new commandment that I give unto you; that you love one another. Jesus: He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Jesus: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Jesus: Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus is my savior, Daddy. Not you. And Jesus would be ashamed of you for judging me. He would be ashamed of you for turning your back in me! He would be ashamed!
Callie cries on Arizona's shoulder and gets a sweet pep talk from her about giving Mr. Torres some time to adjust. Then Arizona finds Mr. Torres and gives him a speech of her own:
[My father had one question when I came out]: Are you still who I raised you to be?
My father is not a man who bends, but he bent for me, because I'm his daughter. I'm a good man in a storm. I love your daughter. And I protect the things I love. Not that I need to — she doesn't need it. She's strong, and caring, and honorable. And she's who you raised her to be.
After work, Callie's father finds her and wonders aloud if Arizona makes her happy. When Callie responds that she does, Mr. Torres gives her his blessing. Not that she needed it, of course. She was going to be with Arizona either way. At least this way she gets her trust fund back.
The final episode of The L Word 03/08/09 (Showtime)
The "WTF?" heard around the world at the conclusion of the disappointing and infuriating final episode of the long-running lesbian series was a terrible end to America's first, and only, show about queer women.
From silly plot contrivances, to false drama, to the lack of closure on most storylines (including Showtime's over-hyped question: "Who killed Jenny?"), the final moments of The L Word not only make this easily the worst lesbian/bi moment on scripted TV this year, but any year.
Runners up:
"Max's baby shower on The L Word. Of all the horrific things Ilene Chaiken saddled her characters with over six seasons on The L Word (rapid cancer, pet euthanasia, drowning, dating Jenny Schecter, etc.) one of the worst was Max's pregnancy storyline this year. Not only did Max get pregnant, he also got hormonal, and dumped, and subjected to a Wonka-themed baby shower at which his friends offered him a variety of nerve-calming drugs while still struggling to use the correct pronoun when addressing him. If Chaiken didn't like Dana Fairbanks, she must have loathed Max Sweeney." (StuntDouble)
"Nip/Tuck lesbian Liz Cruz married her narcissist boss, Christian Troy. Later, when he tries to leave her, she goes vindictive crazypants. Right. Because lesbians do that."(Dara Nai)
"Reese and Zach kiss on All My Children. Blech."
(The Linster)
"Tie between the entire Ghost Whisperer lesbian episode, Hollyoaks killing off one of the lesbian characters in a death-by-parachute stunt, and the L Word ending with interview montage of past characters that they'd never talk to again. Goodbye, Mark!" (Trish Bendix)

The liberal Democrats caused this mass illegal migration of young illegal aliens crossing the borderline by constantly talking up huge liberal amnesty schemes, praising illegal aliens, and holding parties for illegal aliens at the White House. All that has been highly publicized in the third world homelands of illegal aliens along with reports sent back to those countries by friends and relatives who have entered the USA illegally and have been allowed to stay because of Obama´s non enforcement of the immigration laws policies and ill considered changes to the immigration laws supported and passed by the liberal Democrats over the years, that have left the USA defenseless as far as deporting young illegal aliens regardless of how many of them illegally enter the country.Obama is now head faking the American people claiming that he will deport all these young illegal aliens, when the truth is that Obama has no intention of deporting very many of them, but in effect wants to legalize the flow of illegal aliens by ordering the Republicans to facilitate a massive liberal Democrat designed amnesty, under the faux title of comprehensive immigration reform, that would not stop illegal aliens coming into the USA but would legal the flow.The last thing that the USA needs is tens of millions of poor and uneducated aliens, half of who will never graduate from high school and who will have to be highly subsidized through social welfare programs, and who will add to a disaffected socialist oriented minority group who the liberal Democrats intend to eventually register as Democrat voters by the millions in the years ahead to change the political balance permanently to their favor.

I disagree with one point. We should not waste tons of tax dollars deporting them back to their home countries.We should deport them all to Mexico. Mexico allowed them passage through their country to the border with the US, so the Mexican government should have to deal with sending them back to their home countries if they don´t want to keep them.

Americans of Mexican extraction are no fans of "wetbacks". This is orchestrated by La Raza and SEIU for the White House (and the US Chamber of Commerce) - all of whom are itching to pass "Reform" at virtually any cost. The rest is all boob bait.

Activity picked up in the CEE markets on Wednesday after the public holiday on Tuesday. As expected earlier in the week, a moderate bearish sentiment returned to the regional far curves, while most spot levels corrected upwards with demand expected to go back to normal.
In Poland, liquidity was limited owing to another public holiday in the country on Thursday. "Today is just a bridge day before tomorrow's Constitution Day, so market was pretty quiet," one Polish trader said.
Another market participant added that he didn't expect any big trading activity before the start of next week.
The Calendar Year 2013 dealt twice on Wednesday, closing Zl0.10/MWh lower than the previous session. The move was in line with bearishness in the coal market.
The Czech Cal '13 lost €0.15/MWh session on session, tightening the spread to the German equivalent to €1.55/MWh.
Sources agreed that the main bearish drivers for the product were lower coal and fuels complex prices.
Hungarian and Serbian curve prices took their cue from weakening German prices, which were depressed in turn by softer fuels.
Hungarian participants said the spreads to the German contracts were coming in line with their expectations.
"There isn't anything in particular to drive any movements on the far curve. We are very close to German levels and the situation is stable for now," a source active on the Hungarian market said.
The Czech June '12 Baseload ticked €0.05/MWh up on Wednesday while the Peaks were assessed €0.25/MWh higher day on day.
One Czech trader said that, in his opinion, the contract was currently overpriced, especially on the Peaks, because he expected a lot of solar generation to kick in in June.
The Polish front-month Baseload closed at Zl191.40/MWh, down by Zl0.10/MWh session on session. According to one Polish trader the contract had room for further downside due to the fact that June '11 closed much lower.
"I expect that June Baseload might drop to Zl185/MWh," he said, adding that demand should not be increased during the European Football Championship, as the events in the country will last only for several days. Therefore there was no bullish driver on the contract.
Balkan participants were more focused on the prompt, where fundamental elements are more likely to sway the balance over the coming weeks.
A Romanian trader said hydro levels were now improving in the country after a lengthy drought.
"Reservoirs are now at 40% capacity and Danube levels have improved a great deal," he said. "I expect prices to remain within the seasonal range if temperatures drop over the coming weeks. There is still a lot of water. We had a lot of snow a few weeks ago and this is just now coming into the system," he added.
Similarly, Serbian participants reported stable hydro levels in the Balkans.
Consumption was expected to return to normal working day levels from Thursday after Serbia celebrated a public holiday on Wednesday. IP/AS

HoopsHype James Posey rumors
A source close to James Posey said the Knicks have been in contact with the forward as recently as Monday. The source said Posey has been in talks with a number of teams and, as of Monday night, no deal had been struck. According to a report Monday from the Boston Globe, the Celtics are not interested in re-signing Posey, who was a key piece to their 2008 NBA championship team. Posey was amnestied by the Indiana Pacers and cleared waivers, so he is free to sign with any team. Other Knicks targets of interest may include Al Thornton and Bostjan Nachbar. ESPN.com
Howard Beck: By the way, I'm told Baron signed for the vet's minimum ($1.4 mil), not the room exception ($2.5 mil). So Knicks still in chase for Posey Twitter
The Celtics also may try to sign another swingman. One intriguing name is ex-Celtic James Posey, most recently with Indiana, who was waived via the league's amnesty clause. But he would have to accept the veteran's minimum to come to Boston, which could be a stumbling block. Boston Globe
Why was he amnestied by the Pacers? I've got friends there who say Posey can still play, but was caught up in numbers game on a young roster, behind Danny Granger. The Knicks will have competition here because the Celtics are very interested in bringing Posey back. Newsday
Ira Winderman: For what it's worth, James Posey has gone through amnesty waivers unclaimed and is now a free agent, per NBA executive. Twitter
The Pacers have released forward James Posey and his $7.5 million contract under the league's amnesty clause. Under the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement, teams are allowed to release one player on the roster. Indianapolis Star
Sam Amick: Indiana's James Posey ($7.6 million expiring) is set to be amnestied, and his agent is in talks with teams in case he clears the waiver wire Twitter
Gary Washburn: Agent Mark Bartelstein said E'Twaun Moore expected to practice today for first time and he will gauge #celtics interest in one James Posey Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Pacers have decided to amnesty James Posey and his $6.9 million contract, league sources tell Y! Sports. Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: Pacers are still mulling amnesty on James Posey and $6.9 million left on his expiring contract, league sources said. Twitter
The Indiana Pacers have told veteran swingman James Posey he does not have to report to training camp. "He's not going to be with us," coach Frank Vogel said. "We're going to make a decision what to do with James at a later date, but he's not going to be in camp." Indianapolis Star
"None of them are dying to go over there. They prefer for there to be an NBA season," Bartelstein said. "My message to the players (is) that we need to be aggressive in looking for things. We're not just going to be reckless and take a job we don't think is a good fit, but if there's a job we think is good, we have to think about doing it. We deal with this situation on a day-to-day basis and we'll see what happens." Bartelstein's agency represents Pacers Danny Granger, Paul George, Brandon Rush, Dahntay Jones and James Posey. Indianapolis Star
Chris Mannix: Pacers will not buyout James Posey, source says. Scratch him off the list of potential free agent pickups for contenders. Twitter
A lot of us are proudly wearing newly purchased James Posey jerseys. Eight days ago, the Pacers' reserve (and Celtics championship ring bearer) brushed off Blake Griffin, who had rattled Indiana's cages for 47 points. Afterward, the Clippers' sci-fi rookie forward approached Posey to shake hands and was left hanging. "He tried to, I declined," Posey declared. "He already gave us 40-something and I'm going to shake his hand and thank him? I'm good." New York Post
Indiana Pacers veteran James Posey joined the list of players to get agitated by Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin's aggressive style. A day after Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom and Griffin got into it, Posey and the high-flying Griffin exchanged words on several occasions during the Clippers' 114-107 victory over the Pacers. "He plays hard. I play hard. You have to adjust to the game and go about it that way," Posey said. Indianapolis Star
James Posey's agent, Mark Bartelstein, told SI.com that the veteran swingman will not seek a buyout from Indiana. Posey and point guard Darren Collison were acquired by the Pacers in a four-team trade on Wednesday. While Indiana has a pressing need for Collison, it would appear to have little need for the 33-year-old Posey, who has two years and more than $13 million remaining on his contract. The Pacers used their lottery pick to draft Paul George in June and already have wings Danny Granger, Mike Dunleavy, Dahntay Jones and Brandon Rush on their roster. SI.com

They start with a general requirement, that gets fed into a requirements committee (that usually has someone from Information Management who has a corporate "information strategy" that pushes up costs enormously) produces a wish list that means any "off the shelf" system needs substantial customisation, & they they then appoint the biggest supplier who naturally has the best sales people.
The then get a bookend system that is so particular to the one dept that it can't be used by other depts (yes, I know of a dept EDRMS that couldn't be used by any other dept), that adheres to the "information strategy" but uses proprietary protocols/api that mean it can't be integrated with other systems.

Now this announcement is the final staw - I'm not gonna upgrade my MBP, instead I'm going to either look at a Linux laptop or even Windows 7 - that's how p*ssed off I am.
And no, Java ain't as powerful as it once appeared but it's still an important platform all the same. I do wonder if this is Job's taking a side swipe at Google & Android?

I wonder if AIR & Searchlight are in any way superior to JWS or just have better marketing depts behind them?

The database is the big issue - ID cards were only going to be a way of querying the database. The Govt & Tory opposition are committed to the database project - once that's done, ID cards of some flavour are the logical outcome, since no point having a database the authorities can't query.
When both Labour & Tories are committed to the database, its obvious that elements within the state have made support for it mandatory - there's a whole another story going on here that we haven't been told about. Why do we need to store biometric data after all? Aren't photos & fingerprints good enough for every day use? Not if you have some other reason for targeting large sections of the population...
