The intention of Cross is clear. Destroy. Gold, or no gold.

After an amazing first EP, ACID ARAB is back with a new EP On Versatile Records including four new tracks that are killing the dancefloor again. For this edition, Guido, Hervé & Sex Schön from Acid Arab delivered one track and featured different producers and musicians (Headcore aka Dj Gregory, Professor Genius, Dj Gilb'r and Shadi Khries) for the three other tracks.
Legowelt (Netherlands) has always stayed out of all fashion and buzz, his fanatic audience follows every release and gig for a better understanding of his speech. Here he gives his own vision of an acid trip in company of Bedouins during a secret rave in Sinaï desert.
Headcore is one of many aliases of French touch wizard Dj Grégory. '21' is a powerful dj-tool that will turn the Africanism aficionados totally crazy. A must-have for your 128 bpm mixes, five minutes of pure energy featuring beats, darbuka, a bit of oud, and some great organ.
The Habibeats' 'Rum' is a jam between Professor Genius (L.I.E.S, New York), Dj Gilb'r (Versatile, Paris), Acid Arab and a secret-weapon guest: Shadi Khries, massive percussionist from Jordan, also featured on vocals here. This ain't a dance oriented song but its rhythm may haunt for a while. This ain't a chill piece but its deep vibe will rest your soul. Rum is the name of the Jordan desert, the lyrics come from a poem a couple of thousand years old.
'Sidi Gouja' is Acid Arab's first new track since 'Theme'. Co-produced with Sex Schön, you will recognise the signature in the devastating beats, once again inspired from complex Arabic rhythms, the harmful synths that regularly shake the song and the use of old Roland devices that look right into the eye of the acid house history. The song celebrates Slim Gouja (Sidi meaning Mister), a fascinating professor of musicology that the duet met in Tunisia last summer.
Here is the video of the first excerpt from the Acid Arab album, written and produced by the Acid Arab duo itself.

|Unable to close a bug in the tracker.
|Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:27:37 -0500
I committed a fix to bug #5276. Closing the bug report, however, is another matter. I sent mail to <5276-done {_AT_} debbugs.gnu.org>, but my mail does not appear to have had any effect -- it hasn't shown up in the bug log, and hasn't closed the bug. Now I'm going to rant. For a project like Emacs, a bug tracker whose primary interface is email is borderline useless. I mean, look at: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5276 Does the web page UI offer any of the following basic functionality: - A way to comment on the bug? - A way to change a status of the bug, including closing it? No. But it does stimulate the user to wonder about various questions whose answers, if the user knew them, would be pointless anyway: * What is "Toggle useless messages" for? (Please don't answer that. I don't care what the answer is; I just care that there's a UI element offering to "toggle useless messages". Might as well have a button labeled "Do not click here.") * Why would I want to "View this report as an [mbox folder], [status mbox], [maintainer mbox]"? Who is this aimed at? Certainly not the developer. Nor the reporter. Nor testers. Is there anyone among the primary users of a bug report who is served by this? * Why does the bug report *start* by default with "Message #3"? If message numbers aren't going to make sense anyway, better just not to display them. * Why does the bottom of the bug report say "Last modified: Wed Jan 13 23:51:14 2010", when the most recent visible activity in the bug dates from 6 October 2009? Maybe if I toggled useless messages, I'd see what this other activity was? <...tries it...> Nope. I guess they really are useless. How reassuring. * "To reply or subscribe to this bug, see [here]." Oh, maybe it's using the verb "reply" where most other trackers say "comment" -- maybe these are instructions on how to leave a comment! So I have to *leave the bug page* to go somewhere else to get instructions on how to take one of the most basic actions one can take on a bug? These sorts of things are normally done with self-explanatory UI elements. In addition to these problems with an individual bug page, there are more important general problems with the system as a whole: 1) While it's great to *offer* email as an option for manipulating the bug tracker, it's horribly wrong to *require* it. Email interfaces are inevitably experts-only interfaces, because the UI is owned by the user's mail client, not by the bug tracking software. So the user has to learn a lot of things by rote before she can do anything. Perhaps the user will become much more efficient at using the bug tracker once she has learned those things -- rather like Emacs itself, in this respect -- but the vast majority of users (both reporters and developers) do not have the time or mental space to become experts. I know I don't. 2) You request an action but you never know when it will complete, because it's subject to the whims of email delivery. Remember that, unlike other network protocols, email is actually getting *less* reliable over the years, thanks to the spammers and the filters we set up in response to them. Email delivery time is now highly variable, and getting more so. Non-arrival is not only possible, but in some cases common. Because you don't know when your action will complete, you may be blocked for your actions after that. This is another way of saying that an email-based bug tracker cannot honor the UI principle that response time is the most important feature. 3) Although the web UI could, in theory, give instructions on how to change the state of the bug, in practice it doesn't. You have to guess at how to change the state, or you have to poke around the site, at which point you run across Dostoyevskeyan novels like: http://debbugs.gnu.org/Developer#closing http://debbugs.gnu.org/Reporting.html#pseudoheader My eyes would glaze over were they not awash in tears already. 4) If you're not subscribed to a bug via email, then manipulating it by email involves lots of cutting-and-pasting from browser to mail client (i.e., bug number, bug subject, etc). The response "sure, but you're supposed to be subscribed to the bug and do everything by email" should be taken out and shot preemptively, of course. It is, again, not practical for non-experts, nor even for experts who have just found a bug (via the web) and want to interact with the bug starting now. The Emacs bugtracker is a major drag on my ability to process bug reports for packages I maintain. Either I am not alone, or everyone else is insane. I trust it is the former. There is a reason no one else uses a bug tracker like this (the Debian Project doesn't count: they are a OS distribution, not an application project, and anyway I've had to interact with Debian's tracker and it sucks there too, for the same reasons). For the love of Cthulhu, why are we using this monstrosity when there are so many other good trackers out there? (Launchpad's comes to mind, but we could also use a library card catalog system with child labor to run the bug reports slips back and forth. Or maybe a system where we put all the bugs in a file, print the file, take a photograph of the printout, beam the photograph into space, and count on inventing faster than light travel some day so we can get out ahead of it, recapture the data, and use time travel (which is about to be invented) to send the data back to us along with a bug tracker humans can actually use. While I've been writing this, my closure message to bug #5276 has still failed to arrive. The bug report remains open. -Karl

Information on the rapper Edit
Penny Fitzgerald is a supporting character in the TV show The Amazing World of Gumball. She is a living peanut with antlers growing out of her head and, following the events of the episode "The Shell", Gumball's girlfriend. Their mutual affection and incapability of expressing their feelings for one another was a running theme in the series until "The Shell", where Gumball finally directly reveals his feelings for her and they have their first kiss in the woods. In the same episode, it is revealed that underneath Penny's shell lies a yellow, fairy-like inner alien self which shape-shifts based on her emotional state.
Lyrics Edit
Verse 1: Edit
This is the end for you, Connie, you're in for trouble now
'Cause when I fuse my pom poms to your face, your parents would freak out
Taking down Miss Knight in a fight like her cloud version
Needing a Nightmare Hospital while Mr. Cuddles starts hurting
I'll crackalack this know-it-all, so it's best if you leave this brawl
Since this weather fore-cast makes Larry seem cool at all
You must be blurred in the eyes again to thin I haven't won
I'll cheerlead the way, it'll cost a Penny as a rule of thumb
Verse 2 (Break out her shell): Edit
Now that I'm out of my shell, my emotions run free
Both verbal and lyrical beast on this con-out of me
You're not even worth a Penny, so no El-more of your verse
You'll be with Alan when we make these Bubble Budies burst
During Gumball verse: Edit
Go back to your corrupted Universe

Asean Ministerial Meeting:
Energy ministers to find ways to cope with oil crisis
Energy ministers of members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are set to meet in Thailand and brainstorm ways to cope with the oil price crisis early next month, according to Thai Energy Minister Poonpirom Liptapanlop.
She said the 26th Asean Energy Ministers Meeting would be held in Thailand during August 4-8. Participants from each member of Asean would brainstorm a common strategy to alleviate the current oil price crisis. They would be asked to reveal a practical strategy they had adopted to cope with the crisis.
The Thai energy minister said Thailand would propose the use of alternative energy, particularly bio-fuel, as an agenda of Asean.
In addition, Thailand would step up its efforts to have Asean members pool sources of energy through the power transmission line and gas pipeline in the region to boost stability of the group's energy affair in the long run, she said.
Meanwhile, Malaysia calls on Asean and its dialogue partners to collectively deal with energy and food crisis, reported Malaysian news agency Bernama.
"We have been expressing this need.It is of course a difficult issue and cannot be dealt with overnight. "The reasons for the meteoric rise in price of oil must be linked to the role of those who are exploiting the situation," said Malaysian Foreign Minister, Dr Rais Yatim, in his meeting with reporters after attending the Asean Ministerial Meeting with the dialogue partners here Wednesday.
According to Rais, oil producers too must once again entertain the idea of having constructive meetings with end users.
"We must find a solution globally and see what other ways the United Nations can play a role as well.
"We in Asean are not oil producers like the Middle East countries.Therefore, we can only champion the cause through deliberations," he said.

Another update on Directions for the Mind, a collaboration between artist Laura Bucci and other artists, acquaintances, and strangers.
This time I was joined by two local artists. I invited Patsy Kay Kolesar, who is a jewelry artist, and she brought Valerie Arntzen, an assemblage artist. I have known Patsy for a number of years but hadn't talked to her for at least a couple of years. Valerie, I knew by name only.
After catching up on life, I turned the conversation to collaboration, asking in what ways both Patsy and Valerie had collaborated with other artists and describing how this particular collaboration had evolved thus far. One of them suggested we work on creating something together each holding a different colour yarn, doing something with it on our side of the room and passing one's ball of yarn to the next person—maybe you can picture that? We each anchored ourselves to different parts of the walls, creating a triangle and joining three walls.
The result is a web of yarn that asks the body to bend and crouch to move around. And when in the room, it looks like a circus roof—hard to see that in the pictures. As in previous encounters, the conversation flowed. One thing we talked about is how important it is for artists to create situations to come together and support each other. Valerie mentioned one such group she hosts at ther studio (I think). Everyone brings something to work on. It doesn't have to be an art piece, it could a dress you're sewing—the requirement is simply to bring a project. I love this idea. It removes the common experience of isolation that is often the case for many artists. This is especially true for artists that work from home, such as myself. So if you have a studio, you have the opportunity to create community.
One fo the motivations behind Directions for the Mind is to create community and to do this by using the gallery space as a studio. What we create collaboratively is becoming a colourful feast, a colourful 'tangle' (quoting a passerby) for passersby to see. At night especially, with the gallery lights on, it is a colourful spectacle.
I left this encounter happy and satisfied, realizing "I" made this happen and thankful that I trusted my creativity months ago even if not knowing what would happen. Stepping into the unknown is uncomfortable but necessary for growth.
Seen below are Valerie and Patsy.

|Tested in Zebrafish,
Ciona, Coqui, Xenopus and Mouse!
1. Fix specimens for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature with gentle rocking. Typically we use MEMFA(developed in RIchard Harland's lab at UC Berkeley) or Dent's fix (developed by Joe Dent at UC Boulder).
MEMFA is better for early stages -- Dent's fixed, early stage xenopus embryos can fall apart, which is quite annoying.
2. If the sample is in MEMFA - replace with Dent's for 15 min. If fixed with Dent's To bleach the embryos - add 2 parts Dents fix and 1part 30% H2O2 and place under bright lamp.
Bleach the embryos until they are completely white. At this point, embryos should be transferred to 100% methanol. They can be kept there for quite awhile.
MEMFA FIX and 10X MEMFA Salts recipes
Dent's Fix: 80% methanol and 20% DMSO
Dent's Bleach: 1 part 30% H2O2 and 2 parts Dent's fix!
3. hydrate embryos through TBS/methanol series. wash embryos 3 X in TBS (tris buffered saline) - 15 minutes each washes
4. Incubate overnight in primary antibody diluted into 20% calf serum (our stock of calf serum contains 10% DMSO + 0.05% thimerosal - Sigma T-5152).
5. wash with TBS - once for 15 min., once for 30 min., once for 1 hour, once for 2 hour.
SuperCuris bleach (very fast )
5% formamide
SOX3 in zebrafish
6. Incubate overnight in secondary antibody (diluted into 20% calf serum + 2% DMSO + 0.05% thimerosal). Typically we use peroxidase-conjugate antibodies diluted 1:200 to 1:500 and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated antibodies at 1:2000 to 1:5000.
7. wash as in step 5. - if you are using an alk. phos. conjugated secondary, wash embryos with reaction buffer once (5 to 15 minutes ).
8. react peroxidase-stained embryos with diaminobenzidine reaction solution; react alk. phos.-stained embryos with NBT/BCIP reaction solution .
wash with 100% methanol -- the dehydrated embryos can be cleared in
100% methyl salicylate or BABB: 1 part benzyl alcohol and 2 parts benzyl
mount in either a deep depression glass slide or a brass slide
reaction buffer:
500µg/ml diaminobenzidine (diluted from a 10 mg/ml stock solution made up in water).
0.02% hydrogen peroxide
(diluted from a 30% stock solution).
100mM Tris - pH 9.5
100mM NaCl
50mM MgCl2
0.1% Tween-20
5mM levamisol (can be omitted)
reaction solution:
NBT diluted from 75 µg/ml in 70% dimethyl formamide
HRP reaction is complete within 1 hour.
AP reaction will continue for hours.
cultured cells
Coverslips can be sterilized individually by dipping into 95% ethanol and then flaming them. Alternatively, place them in a glass petri dish and bake them in an oven overnight.
We generally
use 22mm square coverslips, cut into four with a diamond pencil.
Plate your cells onto the coverslip and then let them grow until they are at the stage you want.
When they are ready, remove the coverslip from the your cells onto the coverslip and then let them grow until they are at the stage you want.
Remove the coverslips from the culture (you can keep the culture sterile if you are careful and you flame your forceps).
Rinse each coverslip briefly in Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS).
Place onto staining rack -- normally we use an inverted plastic box, with small corks glued to the top. Coverslips are placed on the corks.
Fix the coverslips, typically I generally use 100% methanol for 10 minutes.
Wash the coverslip three times by dipping and wisking away excess liquid, into TBS.
Incubate with primary antibody (generally diluted into TBS + 0.5% Tween) for 20-25 minutes at room temperature. A typical coverslip requires ~40 µL antibody solution.
Wash the coverslip three times by dipping into TBS.
Incubate with secondary antibody (we generally using ALEXA conjugated antibodies) for 20-25 minutes.
Wash the coverslip three times by dipping into TBS.
Place a drop of mounting media onto a glass slide, and then place the coverslip, cells facing the slide, on top.
Press down carefully to flatten.
Slide can be examined immediately, or left to dry overnight in the dark.
The mounting media sets and seals on its own, their is no need to seal the slides.
Once dissolved add
aliquot (10ml each) and store at 4°C

The old minaret adjacent to St Nikolaos church is a perfect reminder of the way the East met the West in the town I made my home, Chania, Crete, Greece. The photographs I post all help to tell a part of a longer story that focuses on the town and its citizens, whether they are living there now, or have made their home in other parts of the world. As a newer resident, by writing about the town in this way, I am trying to put some order into the chaos that I seem to be confronted with.

Suguta Valley Crossing
About this Adventure
Fact File
Duration: Customised.
Cost: Customised.
Are you tough enough to trek through this harsh desert?
Africa is known for it's inhospitable environments, and the Suguta Valley ranks as pretty harsh even on these tough criteria. We think this is one of the most demanding treks we have come across. Traversing hugely empty country this trek does have a great treat for you once you've overcome the challenge.
The Suguta Valley is reckoned to be one of the hottest palces on earth. In the middle of the valley temperatures can reach an eye-watering and energy-sapping 60 degrees. Walking in this heat is a real challenge even for the most experienced trekkers, the amount of water alone needed is phenomenal. It is easy to think that in this extreme terrain there will be no wildlife, but, along the edges of the Suguta River there are huge populations of flamingos. These amazing birds perch here, thriving in an area where no other animal is able to survive. It is a graphic illustration of how well animals are adapted to their habitat that these birds thrive in this area, despite its obvous harshness.
Once you've battled through the debilitating middle section of the trek, you will be glad to hear that respite is found from the heat. As you ascend from the valley onto the Loriu plateau the temperature drops and after a two-day trek you find youself in Lokori, a small Turkana outpost. Never has civilisation looked so comforting.
Wandering Nomads is your first port of call for this trek.

Here's a key stat to remember in the wake of the Supreme Court's health care ruling, which left the individual mandate intact: According to a March study by the Urban Institute, if the health care law "were in effect today, 94 percent of the total population….would not face a requirement to newly purchase insurance or pay a fine."
The study found that of the "181 million Americans under the age of 65 who are subject to the mandate, 86 percent are estimated to have health insurance without reform…. 95 percent of those with some type of insurance coverage (employer, nongroup, public) without reform will have the same type of coverage under the ACA (data not shown)."
So who would be required to buy insurance? Here's a quick breakdown:
*"About 26.3 million Americans who are currently uninsured will be required to newly obtain coverage or pay a fine.
*"In this group, 8.1 million people will be eligible to receive free or close-to-free insurance through Medicaid or CHIP and can avoid the mandate penalties if they do so.
*"That leaves 18.2 million Americans (6 percent of the total population, 7 percent of the nonelderly population) will be required to newlypurchase coverage or face a penalty. Of that 18.2 million, 10.9 million people will be eligible to receive subsidies toward private insurance premiums in the newly established health insurance exchanges, but will have to make partial contributions toward their coverage.
*"About 7.3 million people—2 percent of the total population (3 percent of the population under age 65)—are not offered any financial assistance under the ACA and will be subject to penalties if they do not obtain coverage."

Even those of you who haven't been following the ongoing turmoil of the presidential election in Austria will not be surprised to learn the details. In short, a right-wing populist party candidate and a socialist left-wing candidate are this year both enjoying greater support than ever before. Their political views are as different as chalk and cheese – or, to give the German equivalent, day and night – but they are united in that they are minority party, fringe candidates. The same story is true all over the Western world as political parties and groups that even a few years ago would have been sneered at in the press as marginalised extremists are suddenly finding unprecedented levels of support. The difference in Austria is that one of these extremist candidates, Norbert Hofer – the presidential candidate for the anti-immigration, Eurosceptic Freedom Party of Austria (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs) – actually has a strong chance of winning. The events that have led up to this require some careful consideration.
To give some brief context: the presidential elections were in fact already held. On 22 May, the Green Party's Alexander Van der Bellen beat Hofer by a margin of less than 1 per cent. The FPÖ subsequently challenged the result, and as such the election is now being re-run. Further confusion was added when the elections were forced to be postponed for a second time due to 'faulty glue' on the postal voting ballots. The date is now finally set for 4 December of this year, but many pollsters have predicted a shift in public mood in the last few months that will see Hofer take power, perhaps by a reasonable majority. He would be the first far-right leader of an EU country and he has said he will push for legislation to bring about a referendum on what is already being called 'Öxit.'
The election is unusual in other ways. Austrian presidential elections have several rounds, meaning that the last round –which was held initially on 22 May – features only two candidates between whom the people must choose. Neither of Austria's traditional centrist parties made it to the final round. Instead, two relatively small and extreme parties at opposite ends of the political spectrum garnered enough support to become the only options left for the Austrian people. Van der Bellen is technically running as an independent candidate, but has financial backing from the Green Party of which he was a member for most of his political career. Pro-gay marriage, pro-immigration and a self-proclaimed 'child of refugees,' he would, for traditionalist Austria, be an extremely unorthodox choice as president. Hofer, however, believes in Austrian nationalism, talks proudly about the gun he carries with him and has said that 'Islam has no place in Austria.'
The Austrian people are being asked to choose between two radical candidates and there is no middle option. Western European politics have in recent years become based around the idea of moderation. The mantra goes that no candidate or party can win unless they appeal to as many demographics as possible. Having a strong opinion about anything could lose you votes and support. A 'political answer' or 'political opinion' has even come to mean a point of view that is evasive and vague. And yet here we are with candidates and political parties as far removed as Donald Trump, UKIP, Alternativ für Deutschland in Germany and the SNP in Scotland all either having been created in recent years or else having found new levels of support. The ostensible reasons for this support can be read about ad infinitum in every newspaper – the migrant crisis, economic instability, divergent opinions on climate change. But there have always been divisive issues in this world that have allowed spaces for extremist parties to take control. So what's changed? Why is it now that they are actually getting this support? What is it that have meant the Austrian people must choose between night and day?
I contend that it is the growth of grassroots movements that have seen backing for extremist parties grow. Hofer has been very careful to distance himself and his party from PEGIDA (Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes or the 'Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West'), but the nationalistic movement founded in Germany has a big base in Austria and have publicly supported Hofer for President. People are flocking to this movement because PEGIDA stands apart from politics: they do not claim to be a political party or to affiliate themselves officially with a political movement. Instead, they stand for ordinary working people with simple, clear messages that people can get on board with. They have implicitly supported the AfD in Germany in much the same way: not giving explicit approval, but aligning themselves with their political ideal and militarising many disillusioned people, who might otherwise not pay attention to politics, to go out and vote for them.
Of course, this is not a privilege of right-wing extremist groups. The UK's Green Party markets themselves as being outside of politics and an alternative to the normal political rhetoric of the twenty-first century. Bernie Sanders was a political outsider who gained support for criticising not only the Republican Party but also US politics in general. There is a sense that those who know what they are doing in politics and have been doing it a long time should no longer be trusted. People want something fresh and different, and by turning to these grassroots movements and relatable leaders they feel as if they have somehow beaten the political elite. As Michael Gove put it a few weeks before Britain voted to leave the European Union, 'people have had enough of experts.'
The situation in Austria is noteworthy because it is the first time that a Western country hasn't had a moderate, centrist candidate or party as an option in a national election. Whatever happens on 4 December, a member of the EU will have a new leader with very extreme views who has support largely from people who are dissatisfied with the political norms of our time: either day or night. And there seems no reason at all to suppose, in the years to come, that Austria will be unique.

Dutch team manager Dethan Rootring was very happy to see the teams performance in their first ever official GPVWC Formula Challenge winter test.
In a short statement Dethan comment:
"It was a very productive test! It's great to see the midfield around the scoring positions is so close. That means we will see some nice battles for top 10 between at least 10 drivers! We also think our basic setup for Melbourne is good as that's what we focused on during the test in Bahrain. We can't wait till the lights go green on March 7 for our Formula Challenge-debut!"

Dancing on Ice: romance rumours, boob flashes and… Pamela Anderson
Series eight is off to a flying start - and with everyone still in shock after Miss Baywatch's early exit, Emma Daly gets down with the early DOI gossip
Dancing on Ice bosses are said to be in a state of shock after losing their biggest signing, ex-Baywatch and former Playboy star Pamela Anderson, in the first week of the new series.
Pamela and long-standing DoI pro skater Matt Evers lost out in the first skate-off to TV star Keith Chegwin, who'd only scored a 15.5 with partner Olga Sharutenko in his first skate – the lowest of the night.
Pammy stumbled during her skate-off dance, getting caught in her dress which resulted in a flash of her nipple cover-clad bust (a sure fire way to week two, one would think!). But the judges stood firm and even her original skating score of 18.5 – and the fact that both Matt and skating guru Christopher Dean had flown to LA to train Pammy – wasn't enough to convince judges Ashley Roberts, Karen Barber, Jason Gardiner and a redundant but agreeing head judge Robin Cousins that she should stay. Well, at least there can be no complaints of a fixed show, eh?
So, Keith, with his I've-turned-down-every-other-reality-show ways, lives to skate another day and Pamela – who reportedly cost the show £1,000 per second on the ice, thanks to a whopping £150,000 fee – is footloose and skate-free.
But while the judges may have saved Keith, it was a lack of viewer votes that unceremoniously dumped American superstar Pammy into the bottom two, suggesting she's just not what viewers are looking for. Perhaps as the bleak January nights set in, we're not keen on big boobs and tiny dresses, when a jolly dancing egg can keep us entertained. Or, it could be romance we're after…
Although Matt greeted Pamela with flowers and a zealous, "Shut the front door, it's Pamela frikking Anderson", there's been no talk of off-rink romance between these two. Instead, the watchful eye of the public has fallen on Corrie star Samia Ghadie and her skating partner Sylvain Longchambon, who both recently left their long-term partners, fuelling rumours of a love affair. Of course, Sylvain's ex being none other than Hollyoaks hottie Jennifer Metcalfe, who he partnered in the series two years ago, only makes the supposed story more intriguing.
Samia addressed the rumours in the first show, saying the tabloid attention was "unwanted", although it probably doesn't help that she keeps tweeting about feeling so safe in Sylvain's "#amazing arms". Meanwhile, Jennifer is said to have broken her silence over the split, reportedly telling The Sun on Sunday, "He told me on the phone that Samia and himself had a conversation about their feelings for each other," adding, "I think he's got carried away." Oo-er!
Slightly less attention-grabbing, but still amusing in a "Shuttt uuupp" kind of way, is that, according to The Sun, Lauren Goodger is in trouble with show bosses – before she's even managed her first performance – for tweeting during the live show. Come on guys, if will.i.am can get away with it throughout The Voice, surely Lauren's allowed to show us her outfits and tell us the all important news (such as how to get a LG Twibbon on our Twitter pages).
Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward is also said to have made the shock revelation that he hopes the show will bring attention back to his singing career – and gymnast Beth Tweddle has been rather open about loving her own bum in an interview with Now magazine. All we need now is for Gareth Thomas to tell us he's releasing his own fitness DVD nationwide. Oh, wait…

Ganley says tax issue is key to Libertas campaign
CORPORATE TAX:THE CHAIRMAN of anti-Lisbon Treaty group Libertas has pledged to put its claims that a Yes vote could jeopardise Ireland's corporate tax regime "front and centre" of the debate on the treaty from now until polling day.
"Ireland's tax competitiveness is absolutely put into a very tenuous position if we say Yes to the Lisbon Treaty," Declan Ganley said yesterday.
But the Tuam-based businessman also admitted that a No vote in the June 12th referendum would not "entirely eliminate" the risk to Ireland's tax competitiveness.
Mr Ganley conceded that moves towards the introduction of a common consolidated corporate tax base could progress even if the Lisbon Treaty is rejected.
"It's a fair point that the risk is not entirely eliminated with a No vote but it is decreased," he said, going on to argue that rejecting the treaty would allow the Government negotiate further safeguards.
"We have a veto but the veto is not sufficient, it does not give us the protection we need from backdoor mechanisms that can undermine our tax competitiveness."
Libertas has based much of its campaign around claims that the treaty's provisions could enable a challenge to Ireland's corporate taxation policy. It argues that the mechanism of enhanced co-operation could be used to undermine the State's favourable rates, an argument dismissed by the Government.
Enhanced co-operation, which was already contained in the Nice Treaty, allows a group of member states to move ahead with closer integration in certain areas where unanimity cannot be achieved. Under the Lisbon Treaty, the number of member states required to advance in this manner would increase to nine.
Mr Ganley insisted a No vote would allow the Government negotiate a "better deal" for Ireland. "What we should be looking for in the new deal is a mechanism, a protocol, which protects us from the risk . A protocol is going to be better than just the so-called veto . . . We cannot get a worse deal than the one we are presented with at the moment. This is our last ace card to play. We should not give it away for nothing in return."
Mr Ganley also attacked Yes campaigners such as Fine Gael, Labour and the employers' body Ibec, saying they "cannot be trusted" on the issue of taxation.
He accused Ibec of changing its position and cited the example of Fine Gael MEPs, excluding Gay Mitchell, and Labour MEP Proinsias De Rossa, who voted in the European Parliament in favour of the Bersani report, which called for the introduction of a common consolidated corporate tax base.
Labour's spokesman on European affairs Joe Costello dismissed Mr Ganley's comments as "groundless and deliberately misleading".
He accused the group of ignoring the fact that the Bersani report specifically acknowledged that corporation tax rates were a matter for individual member states.
Ibec's director of EU and international affairs Brendan Butler described as "dishonest" attempts by No campaigners to conflate the tax issue with the Lisbon Treaty.
"The independent Referendum Commission has stated categorically that nothing in the Lisbon Treaty changes the EU rules on tax. Despite this, Declan Ganley's Libertas and other notable authorities on European law and the economy, such as Sinn Féin and Youth Defence, have repeated what we all know to be untruths. These claims are dishonest and are being made in a deliberate attempt to confuse voters," Mr Butler said. He advised voters to look at the information provided by the Referendum Commission on the issue of tax and make up their own minds.

The creative minds at Forbidden Peak have once again stumbled across a recipe worthy of introduction to the masses. Forbidden KGB is a Kolsch style ale with some very special additions- fresh Devil's Club Buds and Spruce Tips. The crew at FPB went on an ingredient gathering mission this past May in SE Alaska to investigate some local flavors for our beer. Devil's Club is in the ginseng family and has been a valuable source of medicinal qualities for SE residents for ages. Eaten raw, the buds have a flavor described as a "spicy celery". The crew wasn't sure a spicy celery beer would taste all that great, but after extensive testing the perfect compliment for Devil's Club was discovered - Spruce Tips. The two flavors combine to create an impressively smooth but flavorful Kolsch style ale. Forbidden KGB is an easy drinker but with enough kick to keep you warm after a long day on the slopes.
Since the introduction of KGB, we have received many inquiries into the origin of the name. There is a very strong Russian influence here in Alaska (you may recall from our Seward's Ice Box story that the US purchased Alaska from Russia) and Russians helped write the story of Alaska's exposure to the rest of the world. Without further ado, here is the story:
Late one evening, amongst the rising mist, Nikolai Ludsveg set out from his small village in Eastern Russia on the vessel "Zharkiy". Nikolai who days earlier had been jobless and broke was hired by the infamous "Cheka" which was then known as the KGB. His mission was simple: cross the Bering Strait, turn right, follow the coastline and travel many miles until hitting Juneau, Alaska the capital city of the new Alaska. Nikolai was then to infiltrate the community under false pretenses and spy on the state and federal government up close, as the Cheka had few men posted on the eastern seaboard who had yet to see much American activity.
Nikolai immersed himself in the small community and took a job bartending at the Lucky Lady. Nikolai used the bartending gig to learn about this "American culture" and found that bar goers were very open to discuss their most intimate secrets after only a few drinks. One frisky December night, Nikolai met two large men from Skagway and the three fellows talked for hours about beer. Though Nikolai had no brothers of his own, he felt a deep connection with these two new friends and felt a brotherly bond with them. His new friends Squatch and Skookum were upstanding businessman in the Southeast area and well connected in political arenas. Nikolai found them to be a host of information and their monthly poker games held in the basement bar in a hotel called the Bergmann gathered a number of political types. Nikolai soon learned his real love was for America and beer, which caused his weekly dispatches to slip and he eventually quit sending them to Moscow altogether. Spying on the boring and corrupt Alaskan political landscape was of little interest to Nikolai in this new world. The intelligence officials at the KGB quickly wrote him off as dead and laughed at how the dimwit had once tried to explain how beer was more delectable than vodka.
After several months Skookum and Squatch made a business proposal to Nikolai as they sought to expand their brewery operations to the capital city and with Nikolai's love for brewing he made a perfect match as the plant manager. The most famous beer during his reign was created with Nikolai's favorite local ingredient- Devil's Club. Nikolai would often traverse the peaks of SE Alaska carrying only a canteen of water or beer and a satchel filled with Devil's Club Buds. Nikolai swore these "killer green buds" (Devil's club buds were and still are called this due to the difficulty in harvesting them off the spiky stalks) had powers to heal aching muscles and gave him energy when he tired.
Remnants of Nikolai's family recently contacted FPB with stories of the signature beer of Nikolai's, which he appropriately named "KGB" (as a secret hint about the true origins of his adventures). Although unable to unearth the original recipe, the creative minds at FPB brainstormed additions to a Kolsch style ale that would put Nikolai's stamp on it. Using detailed tasting logs of the original recipe, the crew is satisfied that old Nikolai would be proud of this latest creation.
So raise your glass with a Forbidden KGB, realizing that sometimes, just like this beer and Nikolai there is more to the story than meets the eye. Cheers and as always remember, BEER IS FUN.

FPB in Argentina
Hola Forbidden Peak,
Living the large life down here....after a couple weeks of hiking around Patagonia I´m finally back to a place with a decent Internet connection. Here are the pics with my FPB gear so far. First two are at Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile. Last one is in the Fitz Roy mountains of southern Argentina. Both places are in in what´s classified as Patagonia. Rugged terrain, that's for sure. No sight of the Jaeger Squirrel but I did catch faint tracks of the elusive StrohChilla. One month down, one to go.
John is currently trying to secure a summer internship working on foreign beer relations in Columbia, trying to obtain for Forbidden Peak our first official militant guerilla army - we wish him luck!! If he makes it back with a camera intact, we'll be sure to pass on those pics as well.
As always, send your pictures, stories, and questions to email@example.com.

This is the primary self-search for an identity and self. What exactly do I believe in? What is, or can be, my faith? Who is denying me the right to paint, colour, act and sing? And in the process, is my right to paint, colour, act and sing that god, the one I am told I must believe in, being taken away?
As a result of all these queries, not copying, not running behind or following, and certainly, not reaffirming and agreeing are the only options left for me. Because creativity is always the voice of dissent.
However, voicing this dissent is not new. I will elaborate with an example from my latest book 'The Dancing Lama'. which explores the folklore of the Western Himalayas from the female point of view. As I look for myself in the creations of the past, I discover that in folklore, women assertively define their difference.
The examples I am about to narrate here are from the story of Ram and Sita.
In my travels through the North-western Himalayas — Spiti and Kinnaur to be precise — I found several versions of the popular tale. I also realised that women have been trying to give their own interpretation and form to these well-known tales, adding the local milieu in which they exist and the culture that they subsist on to the more familiar narrative. Going through these stories and their interpretations, it is difficult to say whether the epic came first or whether these stories were already prevalent and emerged as the epic we know through a process of refinement.
The story of Sita's abduction by Ravana
Suffering alone
a woman does not cringe
with fear or defeat.
Before the narration of any of the stories, a short poem is sung. These few lines are said to carry the gist of the story to come. The lines just recited are sung before embarking on the story of Sita's abduction.
This particular story (narrated in Chango, a village of upper Kinnaur) begins with the arrival of Ram and Sita to the jungle where they must live for the next fourteen years- Panchavati as we know it. The rendition highlights Sita's loneliness in the jungle. Sita misses Mithila and Ayodhya — the court, the palaces, her friends. She misses the festivals, all connected with farming (she is the daughter of the earth), she also misses her husband, who is always away hunting, or protecting rishis from demons. This reflects the real loneliness of the women of the region. The men have been migrating for centuries: for work, as shepherds and for adventure. Since the wide-spread conversion to Buddhism in the area, men have also been leaving their loved ones when they take the vows of monkhood. Even pilgrimages are usually performed only by men because of the belief that a pilgrimage by a man earns benefits for the entire family.
Sita is lonely, and the narrator dwells for a long while on this, describing how she misses dance and music and how she has never had to be alone in her life.
In her solitude appears Ravana! The king of the Kuber Nagari is lonely!
But why is the king of the Golden Town of Lanka lonely? Because the king, who possesses everything, does not have the time or the peace to practice his music. Shiv Bhakta Ravana is also a fine percussionist and playing the Pakhawaj is one of his ways of appeasing Shiva. He is in Panchavati not to avenge his sister Shupnakha, but to huntfor a secluded spot to practice Pakhawaj.
So here are two lonely people, one yearning for the hustle and bustle of court life, and the other running away from just that.
Ravana sits down to play, unaware of a hut with a beautiful woman in it, nearby. Sita hears the music and emerges from the hut to find out who this accomplished musician is, in this godforsaken place.
So beautiful and rhythmic is the percussion that Sita begins to dance. Seeing her beauty, her rhythmic dance, her unfaltering step, Ravana falls in love with her and decides to abduct her. He gets up with the Pakhawaj slung around his waist and playing it all the while, walks away till he reaches the Pushpak Viman, parked some distance away. Sita is so mesmerized by the rhythm, that she follows him and does not come out of the trance till she is in Lanka.
The entire narration, is an assertion of a woman's right to choice, her wish to have a life beyond her husband and to sing, dance, play — all creative activities. What is most important is not the fact that she worships her husband who is her god etc., but her wish to be happy and the strength she finds to step on the road that leads to this happiness.
There is no villain in the story, no ulterior designs or motives. There is no Lakshmana rekha or morality code that Sita breaks, no woman of easy virtue wishing to ensnare two upper class, high principled men who gets her nose cut off and then begs her brother to abduct a woman to avenge his sister. Woman here exists as an independent being. She is not a possession and no 'honour' is connected with her.
This is a straight story of love — for music, for dance, for good living and for the man who can provide all this.The protagonist, the narrator herself, knows that as a woman writer she has no heavenly guide, just a firm faith in the nobility of the human heart. The story is there for her to tell and for her to reinterpret. As she does that, she breaks down the sacrosanct myth and from the disarray, she builds a human story.

Shohei Ohtani Picks...The Angels?
Japan's Babe Ruth has decided to hitch his wagon to the Los Angeles Angels' star, for some fucking reason.
Sipa USA-USA TODAY NETWORK
Shohei Ohtani, the most sought after and obtainable free agent in recent memory, has finally made his selection and it's a real, real curious one. Ohtani, due to the international signing pool bonus restrictions in baseball's collective bargaining agreement and, like, free will and shit, could have literally signed with any of the 30 teams in MLB. And for some reason, he chose the Angels.
Ohtani first whittled the teams down by eliminating basically the entire portion of the country fom the east coast to the Mississippi river, including deep pockets like the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Then he settled on a group of seven teams, including the Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, and Angels. His pursuit sparked activity the likes of which baseball has never seen, with teams making trades specifically to acquire more signing bonus money and players they might not necessarily need, just in the hopes of possibly landing a generational talent.
And he chose the Angels. The Angels, who have made the playoffs once in the past seven years (they got swept in the divisional series in 2014). The Angels, who go through some identity crisis every six years or so and change their name to something ridiculous like Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim or The We Are Trying To Please Basically All of California Angels or whatever. The Angels, who have a player who is unanimously considered best in the game and no one seems to care about him because they are a boring franchise with a crusty manager and a mean-spirited owner. Ohtani chose the Angels.
The only real positive takeaway is that maybe Mike Trout will get some help and get some time in the playoffs.

I know that when I was a home child care provider, a quick snack was handy to have on a busy day. If that snack also allowed the kids to be creative, even better!
Here is a quick snack idea that doubles as an art project. I got the idea for these "egg heads" from Family Fun magazine:
These are super easy to make! Simply slice a hard boiled egg and place each slice on a round cracker. (We didn't have any round crackers so I used a cookie cutter to cut shapes from a whole wheat tortilla). Then, allow the children to decorate their egg slices with eyes, noses, mouths, etc. made from whatever you have handy. We used olives, chives, carrot bits, cherry tomatoes, celery leaves, and nuts.
Use whole grain crackers if possible for a nutrient-rich snack!
Crediting information: This snack is creditable for 1 meat/meat alternate and 1 bread/bread alternate at snack. (using at least 1/4 of an egg and 10 grams (0.4 ounce) of crackers for 1-5 year old children).

1) What were the Anti-federalists' main criticisms of the Constitution?
2) Which of their criticisms do you agree with? Which do you disagree with? Why?
Date: 25 Oct 2010 19:20
Number of posts: 12
RSS: New posts
1) What were the Anti-federalists' main criticisms of the Constitution?
1.The anti-federalist main criticisms of the constitution was that the U.S was to big to have one central government . no longer a small uniform community and people can't keep track of their Representatives.Reps cannot be trusted to make decisions that are fair for everyone.
2. i Disagree with the argument about the national courts destroying the smaller courts, and they give the rich people the advantage to make the poor people lives miserable. This is wrong because why would you limit other people resources of help.
1) the Anti-federalists main criticism of the constitution was that the u.s was too big to have one central government.
2)Iagree with the federal government because I believe if everyone was to have there indiviaul power it would be to much havac
going on. Power would be abused and people would fight over wanting more power because nowadays are greedy and selfish.
The Anti- federalist main criticism of the Constitution was that basically they did not agree with most of the ideas that came with the Constitution, they felt as though the Constitution had its "potential for tyranny". Meaning it would have been easy for the government to take over the peoples individual rights.
The criticism that I agree with is the argument about the president having the power to grant pardons for people who commit any type of crime. I disagree with this because I feel that this is unjust to have the president as an exception, he's able to take people out of jail at his on benefit. so if the president was to manipulate a person into doing a crime for him he would be able to get that person out of jail which I do not think it is fair to anyone.
I agree with jasmine's argument that the president has the power to punish others based on his own benefit because the president doesn't have too much power over everyone. He is given limits among the three branches.
1) The anti-federalists argued that the US was too big to have one central government. Also, having a small uniformed government could cause people to keep less track of representatives, and representatives could make unfair decisions for the public. The Anti Federalists also argued that the "necessary and proper" clause gives the government too much power. Also the president has so much power that he might punish those he dislikes. The Anti-Federalists also argued that the checks and balance system could take away people's individual rights.
2)I agree with the fact that the US was too big to have a central government because having a small government recreates the Articles of Confederation. The national government rules over the all states, if states have power, then there would be chaos.The "necessary and proper" clause does not have too much power because people should know that the federal government has higher power, since they created it in the first place. The president doesn't have all the powers given to him;each power is balanced among the three branches. Finally, Checks and balances were created to make sure that one branch doesn't become too tyrannical.
The anti federalist philosophy felt that the constitution wouldn't be a good idea because of its size and diversity, so a strong centralized government wouldn't work. Also they disagree because the president could get those close to him out of trouble with the grant of a pardon.
I agree that the constitution gives the national govt a lot of power but i think it is necessary at certain times when it is a big situation to handle.
The anti federalist main criticism was necessary and proper clause can be dangerous because it gives congress too much power which can lead to tyranny. Another one of their main criticism are that the president can let people commit crimes for him an grant them a pardon.
I agree with the anti federalist which believes that a proper clause can be dangerous because it gives congress to much power which will lead to tyranny.
I disagree with the president having the power to grant a pardon to someone who commits a crime, which that can cause problems.
1) the anti-federalist main criticism of the constitution was that: not having small uniform will not work, because is better to have a small community in order to promote the common good. second, the United States was too big to have a central government.
2) there are more criticism, but i agree with the anti-federalistto disapproved with the power that says "the constitution gives the Congress the power to make any laws" (necessary and proper). i agree with them because during the british rule americans experienced bad governemtn, tyranny, new rules and their rights were taking away for them, so for this reason i agree with the anti-federalist.
1.The anti-federalist main criticisms of the constitution were the necessary and proper clause give the congress too much power, which is dangerous. Also the U.S being too big to have one central government.
2. I agree with the anti-federalists criticism about the necessary and proper clause which gives the congress a lot of power because the U.S has already been through tyranny and probably don't want to go through it again.
1. The anti-federalist main criticism about the Constitution was that it is to big to have one central Government and that it is no longer a small uniform community. Also that they can't be trusted to make fair decisions.
2. I agree with the anti-federalist about the necessary and proper clause agrument because it gives Congress to much power. I agree with the anti-federalist about the argument about the president because thats giving the president to much power on that issue.
The anti-federalist main criticism about the Constitution was that it was too controlling and that it didn't protect the peoples individual rights. They thought we needed a big community versus a small uniform one.
I disagree with the anti-federalist because the government was doing a good job the way it was. And the necessary and proper clauses were needed when times got to rough.

For the last few weeks we've been working hard on a big new feature many of you had asked for – and now we can finally unveil it! But first, take a look at our latest design for cafes, bars and restaurants:
And now, feast your eyes on our brand new feature – you can now use your bOnline site as a fully-functioning booking system, whether you're a restaurant, hairdresser, mechanic – you name it! Here's a quick run-through of how it works:
You can enter products and resources to match what you are offering. In the example below, the products are manicures and pedicures. The 'resources' are the people that can offer the service. In this case, both Sarah and Jenny can offer manicures, but only Sarah can offer pedicures. You can also set how long each booking should be for:
Next, you can set availability for all of the resources (these could be people, or even tables at a restaurant). These can be the same or different on each day, and shifts can also be split:
Your customers are able to book via an easy-to-use calendar on your site. They will be able to choose a product/service, as well as who they want to book with (if applicable), and see when this is available. Once they have made the booking, the time will be unavailable for anyone else to book, and you will receive an email or text message notification. All of your bookings and contacts can be managed through your website.
The new booking system is available on our Business and Business+ packages. If you want to try it out, give us a call today.

The Drive-By Truckers return to Maine next weekend with a date at The State Theatre in Portland on Saturday, March 9th. The band is regularly cited by rock critics and music fanatics alike as one of the strongest, most consistent performers in music over the last decade. Maine's own Stephen King has praised the band and fans of the band are thrilled to see the band return to Maine for the second time in less than a year. I myself am very excited as their show at The State sold out last year and I was not able to attend.
Of course the next question from one unexposed to the music of the band is " If they are playing Portland, Maine twice in a year how big can they be?" While it is a fair question the best response is a list of what the band is not. They are not a pop band, their songs do not all have a chorus, and they most definitely do not rap. I discovered the Drive-By's early last year and as I made my way through their impressive back catalog I became more and more impressed. I became, for my friends and family, that annoying person who has discovered one of life's truths and wants to share it with everyone he knows.
The band is led by singer Patterson Hood, whose own solo release last year was itself exemplary. They identify as Southern. With what some might call an unhealthy obsession with Alabama culture, most particularly with Lynyrd Skynyrd and George Wallace, the bands songs tell tales of too much alcohol, bad relationships, and odd characters including policeman, go-go dancers, bubba's, weird uncles, up to country legend George Jones.
How does a band develop a cult following so huge with albums that have been, while successful, not million selling? By touring. Over the last decade the band has toured almost constantly and fans never leave disappointed. This is a band that can play a three night set in Boston, New York, or Atlanta and play few to no ( there are a few favorites their fans insist on ) songs more than once. Consistently called the best touring band in rock and roll the fact that tickets are still available for the show next week is an amazing opportunity for folks to get on the bandwagon.
If anyone would like to know what the band is about they should go on Spotify and pull up the band's recordings. A good place to start is with the double album Southern Rock Opera, an album that the band self financed and released on their own label in 2001. With great reviews, including a four star review in Rolling Stone, the album was picked up and re-released in 2002 by major label Mercury records and as the band states in their song Let There Be Rock " the rest is history."
The opportunity to see a band this good in a venue like The State Theatre does not come often. Run don't walk to your computer or phone and get tickets while you can. You will not be sorry .
