LTJ Bukem presents – Earth volume 1
Label – Good Looking (EARTHCD001 / EARTHLP001)
Format – CD, LP
Country – UK
Released – 1996
Genre – Drum and Bass, downtempo
Earth Volume One was my first ever experience of Drum and Bass. Played through the sound system of my work colleague's Peugeot 205 (with 12″ subwoofer!) through an Alpine tape deck, I was instantly hooked on the sublime rhythms and intricate production of the tunes.
Looking back I can appreciate how different this type of music sounded from anything I had previously heard. I was 21 and my musical diet was a steady mixture of pop, rock and bits of heavy metal (plus an early obsession with Jean-Michel Jarre). Hearing this album for the first time awakened something inside me, a desire to seek out other new music that I had not experienced before.
Heavily influenced by jazz and downtempo sounds, the artists on the Good Looking label were brought together by LTJ Bukem, or Danny Williamson as his mum calls him. Ten luscious, dreamy and downright spine-tingling productions which set the benchmark for "intelligent Drum and Bass" as it came to be known (pretentious title, but we'll let that slide). D'n'B luminaries such as Doc Scott and Blame supplied their own take on the genre, along with lesser-known artists such as Pablo and Subject 13, and the label Godfather himself providing one of his all-time best tracks to the compilation.
We begin the journey with Poets of Thought, and their scratchy, funky number the rhyme goes on. Cut-up vocals and a repeating drum loop provide the basis for this tune, with a steady bassline and effects that fade in and out as the track progresses. This is a great introduction to the album, it sets the mood nicely.
Next up we have Appaloosa with travelling, which has a much more uptempo drum pattern allied to vocal samples and a gliding synth line. Then after the first minute, the bass kicks in and carries you away. This is a free-rolling track that keeps things moving along and whenever the bassline fades back into the main tune you unconsciously start nodding your head in time.
Third track is Subject 13, with faith. This tune has a serious, and I mean serious bassline. The first minute and a half of this track draws you in with a rapid-fire drum loop, and then the bass comes in and it's like low-end heaven. Whilst the bass keeps rolling, we are then treated to a nice groovy synth pattern and some background effect to accompany the drum track. 3 minutes 30 into the track and another rhythmic synth pops up for a bit, then fades out again so that we are just left with the drums and the bass, until another little piano interlude just before the end…one of the highlights of the album.
Contrast the laid back grooves we have heard so far with the up-front drum track that starts up track 4, above and beyond by PHD and the Funky Technicians (cool name or what!?). Layered synth pads accompany the drums and seem to swirl about, taking the hard edge off of the drums as the loop repeats, a nice compact bassline popping in and out to remind the woofer that it's still got a job to do. About 5 minutes into the 8-minute running time we are treated to a break in the frenetic drums before it all builds up again to a climax.
Poets of Thought are back for track 5, samba with j.c. This is another funky effort, with more laid back rhythms and a brassy jazz-like feel. There is a kind of samba rhythm throughout the tune, to be honest this is probably my least favourite track on the album but it's still enjoyable enough without bringing anything too different to the party.
Drum and Bass heavyweight Blame is up next with revival, a tune which starts off with a nice piano melody and some other synth effects and a nice complementary bassline. Things get seriously groovy a couple of minutes in, and the drums, bass and synths find a natural harmony together. I have no idea what the few lines of vocals are about in the middle of the track, but they provide a short break before everything starts up again and the established rhythm continues until fade out…
If you like your songs to be lengthy and repetitious, you'll like do what you gotta do by Pablo. This track is all about building up a solid tempo of drums, bass and synths before hitting you with a repeated vocal phrase. This works well but could probably do with being a couple of minutes shorter.
Poets of Thought return again for jamming the session, their last contribution to the album. This one tries to conjure up the image of a smoky jazz club, and for the most part succeeds with a funky downtempo beat and some brass and flute-like instrumentations.
The main man Bukem steps in for the penultimate tune, moodswings. Oh, and what a tune it is! Beginning with a sublime piano melody and a hypnotic drum beat, we are then treated to some chilled vocals and a bit of brass. Building up the atmosphere with small variations to the main melody whilst keeping the same insistent drum pattern makes for a truly relaxing experience.
Last but definitely by no means least we have Doc Scott's tokyo dawn. A fantastic track to end the album with, this is a full of shimmering synths and deep-as-the-ocean bass along with a perfect implementation of the famous Amen drum break.
This isn't really an album to dance to, even though you'll probably find it in the Dance music section of many shops. There is a great blend of jazz, breaks and beats with enough variety to keep you interested over the whole running time. None of the tracks feel like fillers and they all contribute something original and different to the overall piece.
I've collected pretty much the entire catalogue of Good Looking records and the offshoot labels, and this is still the one album that I return to more than any of the others (along with the first Logical Progression, but that's for another review!).
If you have never heard the jazzy, downtempo side of Drum and Bass before, you could do far worse than to start here. It may be nearly 20 years old, but I think it still sounds pretty fresh today.
As MC Conrad says, "it's all a matter of opinion".

Wide receiver Eric Decker was a fantasy revelation with the Denver Broncos. Most owners were able to get him in the mid rounds last season after teammates Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker came off the board first, and Decker rewarded those shrewd drafters with 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns on 87 receptions.
Decker finished three touchdowns from matching Thomas for the team lead, had only five fewer receptions and wound up with a yardage total that dwarfed Welker's meager production. So it was hardly surprising when the New York Jets signed Decker to a free agent contact worth $36.25 million over five years with $15 million guaranteed.
This season, because of a seismic shift in surroundings, Decker is at the top of our "Poison Players" list, a do-not-draft list of players to avoid at all costs on draft day. Whether it's because they present a significant risk (injuries), an overblown reputation or are simply bad values, you'll want to steer clear of the names below for good reason.
In Decker's case, he goes from future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning to Geno Smith. The Jets' second-round pick last year struggled mightily to say the least, amassing 3,043 yards and 12 touchdowns with 21 interceptions in 16 starts.
Smith's quarterback rating (66.5) was the worst among regular starters, below even the likes of Eli Manning, who threw a league-high 27 interceptions, and Joe Flacco, whose 21 interceptions were most unbecoming of the highest paid player in the NFL.
Expect Decker's statistics to be more in line with his performances before Manning arrived. In 2011, for instance, Decker had 612 yards and eight touchdowns with passing-challenged Tim Tebow and mediocre Kyle Orton as his quarterbacks. If Decker comes anywhere near eight touchdowns this season, it'll be a true testament to his ability to make the best of a messy situation.
Other players on the poison/do-not-draft list:
Mike Wallace, WR, Dolphins: When Wallace came off draft boards last season, it wasn't unrealistic to expect numbers in the range of 1,200 yards and a half dozen or so touchdowns. Those were roughly Wallace's averages during his two most productive seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and when he signed with Miami last offseason, "60 Minutes" in theory became the undisputed No. 1 with a young, strong-armed quarterback in Ryan Tannehill.
Oh how the best laid plans went south quickly. Wallace produced a meager 940 yards and five touchdowns, the fewest in his five-year career, and his second season in South Florida hasn't gotten off to a much better start thanks to a sore hamstring. Not good news for a player who leans heavily on speed.
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Lions: At 6-foot-5, 257 pounds, Pettigrew was supposed to be an impact player in Detroit's vaunted passing game. The 2009 first-round pick instead has posted declining numbers since career highs of 777 yards and five touchdowns three years ago. With rookie Eric Ebron turning heads, Pettigrew's time as a TE1 is all but over.
Shonn Greene, RB, Titans: After consecutive seasons with at least 1,053 yards and six touchdowns, Greene signed a three-year deal for $10 million with Tennessee. The plan was to use Greene for some goal-line carries, but rookie Bishop Sankey has been so impressive that the Titans appear ready to give the 2014 second-round pick virtually all the work.
Darren McFadden, RB, Raiders: The No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 draft has been an injury nightmare during his career, never playing more than 13 games in a season and missing 19 games over the last three years. These days it's not so much a matter of if but when McFadden will be injured, and the Raiders made allowances by signing Maurice Jones-Drew in the offseason.
Ray Rice, RB, Ravens: The former top-five RB1 is coming off his lowest production (660 yards, four touchdowns) since he was a rookie and is suspended for the first two games of the season for a serious off-field transgression. Bernard Pierce is on track to start in place of Rice, and the third-year player has an opportunity to make his case as the featured running back going forward.
Jaguars wide receivers: Justin Blackmon was arrested for marijuana possession after serving a one-year suspension for substance abuse. Ace Sanders has taken a leave of absence to deal with personal issues and is suspended for the first four games of the season. Now Cecil Shorts is out several weeks with a hamstring strain. Also Chad Henne is the starting quarterback. Good times in Jacksonville.
Miles Austin, WR, Browns: Since bursting onto the fantasy scene in 2009 with 1,320 yards and 11 touchdowns, Austin has been going in the wrong direction. The Browns signed Austin to a one-year deal worth $2 million, but he's buried on the depth chart behind Nate Burleson and Andrew Hawkins in an offense with a rookie potentially starting at quarterback if Johnny Manziel wins the job.
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Dolphins: Don't be mislead by Moreno's 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. That production came only because he played in an offense with Peyton Manning. Moreno landed in Miami during the offseason via a one-year deal worth $3 million, and he's already fallen behind Lamar Miller on the depth chart.
David Wilson, New York Giants: The Giants' first-round pick in 2012 has tantalized at times, but according to published reports, Wilson is unlikely to be back on the field this season, if at all, after a neck stinger Wednesday that followed offseason spinal fusion surgery.

Anyone who watched the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football saw quarterback Michael Vick struggle yet again in defeat. On the surface it would be easy to point the finger solely at Vick, as he committed yet another red zone turnover and couldn't get his team into the end zone. There's a lot more to the story in Philly, however.
The real question on my mind: how bad is the Eagles' offensive line?
This is the root all of the team's offensive problems to me. How can you expect a guy to make all the correct throws when he has little or no time to throw every time he drops back? Vick was sacked seven times Monday, and if it was anybody else, they would've probably taken 10. The New Orleans Saints blitzed the living crap out of Philadelphia all of game long, and there wasn't a thing Vick could do about it the majority of the time.
Considering the circumstances, I think Vick played a pretty decent game. Furthermore, I was really impressed with his effort. Yes, he's paid to win football games, but even after taking a pummeling and down by two scores, Vick's effort never wavered. He brought the Eagles within striking distance late in the fourth quarter, only to have his tight end Brent Celek fumble the ball and his team's chances away.
I don't care what you say about Michael Vick, his heart is in every play, and that's something we certainly couldn't have said about him several years back. The Eagles are struggling as a collective unit right now, and while they're down, they're certainly not out. If the offensive line can get its act together, things will turn around in Philadelphia.
It's unfair to blame everything on Vick, and going to backup Nick Foles is not the answer.
If Andy Reid is going down, he should take Michael Vick with him. They are two of the main pieces to the Eagles' franchise, and they've at least earned the right to play out this season and see what happens. If they fail to make the playoffs, then yes, they both should be gone next season. Until all 16 regular season games are in the books, talk of dismissing the two should cease.

When designing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red wanted to create a mature game for a mature audience. So naturally sex and romance is a big part of the game. The studio captured 16 hours of mo-cap footage to make sure every erotic scene in the game looked as realistic as possible. All of that effort paid off in the end with a fantastic mix of steamy scenes that neither Geralt nor players will forget - if they can find them that is.
If players want to romance all of the beautiful ladies in Geralt's life, they are going to have to walk through a minefield of dialogue options. You must tread carefully, or you'll end up on Triss and Yennefer's bad side like poor Geralt in the video up above. So we've put together this handy guide to help you wind your way through that minefield into Triss's heart, and everyone else's.

Liability for Software in the Cloud
Of the different theories under which a program could be sued (strict liability, negligence, criminal, intentional tort, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, malpractice, …), the most accurate and used are strict liability and negligence: the first applies to defective products, but negligence is more suitable for services. In the past decades, most software was characterized as a product: COTS and shrink-wrap products are clearly products, and even custom developed programs are products that may have support services under a different contract than that of the software license. These distinctions came from a time when traditional manufacturers were inflicting serious negative externalities on clients, but those of services were of little importance: much have been written about the need to impose strict liability without fault on software as a way to improve responsibility and quality, transferring the full cost of negative externalities to software companies. But this theory of liability has been rarely applied to software products, the truth being that the destructive potential of software is quite low except for medical devices, which are regulated by other provisions: strict liability covers unexpected and significant harm, and this is a rare event in software programs.
Forcing strict liability on programs will put many small software vendors out of business, and open-source will just disappear: as Alex Tabarrok notes, this is what happened in the aviation industry when manufacturers found that they could be sued for any aircraft ever produced. Only lifting these liabilities for old planes did revitalize the industry, with the unintended consequence that the end of manufacturers' liability was associated with a significant reduction in the probability of an accident, opposite to what the former regulations intended. Moral hazard was small but pervasive, even in the face of death.
But SaaS and cloud computing are changing the software landscape: these really are services, so the negligence standard clearly applies. For sure, it's the standard that best balances the interest of the parties: the cloud is full of SLAs, indeed. And even if these guarantees are not strong as the standard of strict liability, I wonder how much moral hazard will be introduced due to their proliferation: nowadays, the excuse that cloud providers are the root cause of system failure is getting more and more common.
Books on Project Management
- The Art of Project Management. Wise insights are exceptionally uncommon. Practical guidance is plentiful, but all equally inconsequential. And wise and practical musings, rarer still: except within this book, a unique gem in a category of books that shines by its mediocrity. Well-thought and balanced in its theme choice, it covers every topic necessary to thrive in the always difficult to define role of project manager within a big software enterprise: for a better reading, a good exercise is to tweak every moral lesson offered in each section to the different contexts, scales and perspectives that could arise in other settings.
- One Strategy: Strategy, Planning and Decision Making. Project management is only side of the coin. Since software is by definition so malleable, projects can get as complex as desired, with no end in sight. Their success depends on the proper alignment of multiple tasks and roles: product design and planning, development, testing and usability, among others. All these must integrate into a single common vision, with no holes nor voids for coherence to emerge; quoting Heraclitus: "The unlike is joined together, and from differences results the most beautiful harmony". This book recounts the strategy and roadmap of Windows 7, a titanic effort with little or none equivalent in the software industry: as technical as a success case can get, this book is a must to understand the current Microsoft organization.
Empirical, Evidence-Based Software Engineering
These slides review the state of the art of Empirical, Evidence-based Software Engineering, a recent field of research whose goal is to get rid of fashionable practices, methodologies and clichés that are so sadly common in software development: more than a hundred papers are examined on a range of diverse topics such as complexity metrics, estimation, debugging, refactoring, agile methodologies, team organization, technical debt and software architecturing.
Software Development based on Financial Ratios
Why did software component reuse never take root? Why is outsourcing within the software industry such a bad practice, even if other industries outsource all of their developments? Why do big software companies perform so bad and have such a poor innovation record?
From a purely financial viewpoint, focused on profitability ratios, these and other questions are far beyond all comprehension. But paradoxically, they emerge as the result of the blind application of financial theory to the software industry:
- Reusing software would look like the shortest path to profitability: selling properly tested and documented software components over and over again was the holy grail of the software industry decades ago; in fact, that's how all the manufacturing industry works. But the incorporation of other costs (friction, learning, integration, …) discourages this model of development; and what really abolished this trend was the rejection of whole software stacks based on the elusive nature of some requirements that were not taken into account because componentized software is not built by iterating on customer feedback since its very beginning.
- Outsourcing is the preferred way to develop software in every industry, except for the software industry itself: financially speaking, outsourcing improves every efficiency measure, lowers fixed costs and improves flexibility. What's not to like? That what is difficult to measure: the cost of lost knowledge and the opportunity cost of not being able to innovate based on this knowledge; and finally, the cost of not surviving because competition was more learned and readier.
- Big companies do not innovate because all their projects start to get measured by IRR (Internal Rate of Return): but this ratio prioritizes short term, low-value projects over long-term projects. Start-ups teach us that it takes 7-10 years to full profitability and investment amortization: no wonder big companies fail to innovate.
And there are many more examples: striving for a better ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) on software projects is not a very good idea, since capital is not a scarce resource, qualified labour is; so economizing on an abundant asset is absolutely wrong. And that for any other return-like ratio: they will strip off any software company and deprive it of its most precious assets.
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it
Lord Macaulay
Software projects, unlike most projects, are highly variable: full of non-repetitive tasks with high variability and uncertainty. To control their outcome, there's a counterproductive tendency to micromanage every little aspect of them, when everyone agrees that giving individual responsibility over the WBS it's a much better approach. Following, my recipe to decentralize their management:
- Convert conventional unitary metrics (profits, time, revenue & unit cost) to a standard multi-dimensional metric (vg. profits over the life cycle)
- Based on the previous metric, model performance metrics (vg. cost overrun, quality shortfalls, delays, risk change)
- Conduct a sensitivity analysis of forgoing any of the performance metrics
- From the previous analysis, derive practical results based on the total profit impact of missing a performance metric (vg. impact of 1% quality shortfall is 10 times 1% loss of cost overrun)
- Based on the previous insights, generate and disseminate decision rules to be applied locally by every team member. Thus, the resulting decision rules are decentralizing decision making, enabling their application to every little aspect of the project while achieving the same global optimum that the centralization of decision making attains.
Note that the underlying idea is anything but new: principles-based regulation follows the same spirit to solve analogous problems.
After all, it's human nature: the desire to concentrate power, to rule and demand obedience beyond right and reason. Wisdom and virtue are their only counterbalances: because only the righteous consider power as the wisdom of when not to use any of their received power at all.

You may have the old Roto version of this operator, the difference is the male versus female spline for the handle connection, so you may need to update your handle as well with 39-114L, standard handle or 39-205, folding handle.


text: SYDNEY, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Australian shares dropped to an eight week-low on Friday morning, as persistent speculation of an imminent reduction in U.S. stimulus kept investors nervously awaiting a crucial U.S. jobs report later in the day. The financial sector was on the backfoot, with Australia's "big four" banks all dropping around one percent. Commonwealth Bank of Australia fell 1.0 percent, and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd slid 1.2 percent. "The predominant global theme at the moment is that the US economy is recovering," said Craig James, chief equities economist at Commonwealth Securities. "For most investors they don't need to do anything today, they are sitting on the sidelines waiting for US job figures." The market took its lead from a weak session on Wall Street after stronger than expected U.S. GDP data kept alive expectations that the Federal Reserve will start to slow its stimulus sooner rather than later. "In typical post-GFC style, the US market sold off after better-than-expected market data signalled that the Fed might go back into 'Taper-on' rhetoric. When will this world return to normal?" said Rivkin CEO Scott Schuberg in a note to clients. The S&P/ASX 200 index dropped 0.2 percent or 11.1 points to 5,186.9 by 0137 GMT, after hitting the weakest level of 5,154.6 since Oct. 14. The benchmark closed down 1.4 percent on Thursday. Global miner BHP Billiton Ltd pulled back 0.2 percent, and rival Rio Tinto ltd edged up 0.2 percent. Consumer stocks staged a modest bounce back, with top supermarket Woolworths Ltd adding 0.7 percent and Coles-owner Wesfarmers ltd edging up 0.2 percent. Meanwhile, Qantas Airways Ltd was put on a trading halt after the Australian carrier shocked investors on Thursday with a loss warning, sending its stock plunging 11 percent. Friday's trading halt came ahead of Standard & Poor's decision to cut the airline's credit ratings to junk grade with a negative outlook. Broadcaster Nine Entertainment dropped 1.0 percent on its trading debut after raising A$631 million from its initial public offering. Flight Center Travel Group Ltd tumbled 5.9 percent, after a court upheld Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's case against the company, accusing it of attempting to fix airfare prices. Oil and gas producer Neon Energy Limited surged 17.9 percent after its well in Vietnam was confirmed as a potentially significant gas discovery. IG market strategist Even Lucas said the Australian market may struggle to post gains in December. "I believe the Santa rally may not come this year, as profit taking, Fed fears, questioning of company earnings coupled with general sentiment all points to at best a flat month," Lucas said, noting volumes would drop away in the lead to the Christmas holiday. New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index fell 0.4 percent to 4,700.6. (Reporting by Maggie Lu Yueyang; Editing by Shri Navaratnam)

National Geographic is launching a new reality show filming rednecks in Alabama. What makes the show watchable? It's set in Huntsville, birthplace of the U.S. space program and home to NASA's Marshall Flight Center. It also features a camo-wearing family of rednecks littered with PhDs and advanced degrees in rocket science.
The show "Rocket City Rednecks," premieres on the National Geographic Channel Wednesday night with four back-to-back episodes, including "Moonshine Rocket Fuel" and "20,000 Kegs Under the Sea.a"
In this clip from "Moonshine Rocket Fuel," the redneck relatives gather parts to build a homemade whiskey still to manufacture moonshine to fuel a rocket:
In "20,000 Kegs Under the Sea" the boys get in a heap'a trouble test driving a submarine built out of an emptied fertilizer tank and beer kegs:
The channel just might have a hit on its hands. Roll Tide.

CHAR-LIE WEIS LOST TO RICE. You're welcome student sections. The Jayhawks thwarted a Dakota directional institution in week one but failed to finish (25-24) the Owls on Saturday. Dayne Crist's second interception (16/28, 144 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions) allowed Rice to kick the winning field goal as time expired. The upgrade from Turner Gill is going swimmingly.
It requires a Herculean effort to walk into New Orleans and put it on the Saints but that's exactly what the Bears did on their bye week. Superman socks, go routes and loyalty to Adidas over Nike were all the rage in Waco. In reality, the Bears probably used Saturday to check in on their would-be litigant partners Texas A&M in their SEC debut. Following Florida's win, Ken Starr settled the ongoing negotiations claiming, "Yes, this is enough. We're good."
After the Cyclones dethroned in-state rival Iowa 9-6 over the weekend, Paul Rhoads upped his career record in Ames to 20-20. That's impressive on the level of Derek Jeter giving away gift baskets to one-night stands. Iowa State didn't score in the second half but played defense against a Greg Davis-coordinated offense. I'd feel bad for Iowa and James Vandenberg if not for the university allowing Kirk Ferentz to commit salary theft.
Hot seat? Tommy Tuberville laughs derisively at the notion. The Red Raiders made sure Texas State didn't notch upsets two weeks in a row by walloping the Bobcats 58-10. Seth Doege threw 5 touchdown passes and survived a Billy Gillispie-led practice once. Which is more impressive?
Alright, so Wes Lunt's first collegiate road game didn't go as planned. Three picks, a 59-38 loss to the Arizona Wildcats and Rich Rodriguez failed to sing "You Raise Me Up" to him after it was over. It was a disaster. Luckily for the Cowboys, no one can take away the recognition of "defending Big 12 champion" until December.
Casey Pachall completed all nine of his attempts, tossed three touchdowns and the Horned Frogs debuted more than $160 million worth of stadium renovations in a 56-0 win against Grambling. So how are the classes? "I am taking it next semester and I know why, (why man?) yea heyy, – cause I got high, cause I got high, because I got high."
The Longhorns welcomed Bob Davie back from the broadcast booth with a 45-0 shutout and a surprise from Bevo in his locker. David Ash didn't show much in the vertical passing game but his wheels produced a 49-yard rushing touchdown that had Ricky Williams asking, "what took you so long mudflap?"
The Sooners popped eight touchdowns on the ground in a 69-13 mauling of Florida A&M. By the fourth quarter, Josh Heupel's offense resorted to throwing Damien Williams toward the end zone in order to get the Oklahoma quarterbacks some reps.
Besting a non-conference opponent 52-13 isn't illuminating for Bill Snyder because he prefers FCS foes. It's downright frightening though when the victim boasts five national titles in school history. Miami had no answer for Wildcats signal-caller Collin Klein in much the same way Al Golden has no answer for Warren Sapp when he asks, "why aren't there more personal fouls?"
Idle and how does Dana Holgorsen deal with bye weeks? The same way you and I do. He's enthralled by Locked Up Abroad. You watch it from your couch. He's testing the mule policies in Colombia on open Saturdays.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
New NHL.com Website Coming
by Paul on 09/18/06 at 11:08 AM ET
Comments (0)
The NHL will debut a dramatically redesigned league Web site on its season-opening day next month, spotlighting the centerpiece effort in a systemic overhaul of its digital media assets. The new NHL.com will feature a deep offering of video content, a sharply heightened emphasis on fantasy gaming and social networking, and a constant showcasing of individual players. "This is an entirely new Web site lying on an entirely new content management system," said Keith Ritter, president of NHL Interactive CyberEnterprises. The prototype for the new-look NHL.com features a much more striking visual presence compared with the current site's relatively staid, text-based look. Not unlike many leading sports sites, a box for video content such as game highlights is near the upper right corner of the page. No video will launch without user activation, though, with the league seeking to avoid the type of complaints levied on ESPN.com, MLB.com and others who employ non-user-initiated video.

Should a diversionary program for people facing minor disorderly persons charges require a $500 fee?
Gov. Chris Christie says no - and he's right.
On Monday, Christie conditionally vetoed a bill that would create a new conditional dismissal program for people facing minor Municipal Court charges.
Similar programs - Pre-Trial Intervention and conditional discharge - already exist for more serious, indictable offenses that are handled in Superior Court. So it makes good sense to have a similar program in Municipal Court.
Appropriate defendants (there's a long list of defendants who would not be eligible) would undergo a year of supervision and then have their charges dismissed if they met all of the program's requirements. Christie noted in his veto message that the idea behind the bill is similar to his mandatory drug-treatment program and that "the concept of broadening alternatives to prosecution is promising."
But the governor objected to the $500 fee for admittance into the new program. And he's right about that. A $500 fee is an outrageous amount of money. (The bill also increases the fees for the existing PTI and conditional discharge programs from $75 to $350.)
And while Christie objected to the new $500 fee because of its impact on the citizens who will pay it, we have a larger concern.
Under the bill, $450 of the fee would go directly to the municipality involved. Too many Municipal Courts in New Jersey are already shameless bastions of wheeling and dealing on fines and court costs in a process that clearly has more to do with increasing municipal revenue than the administration of justice.
The Administrative Office of the Courts estimates that this bill would increase the amount paid to municipalities by more than $4 million. That's going to be a mighty tempting pot of money for towns and their Police Departments. All they have to do is increase the number of people they charge with trumped-up disorderly persons offenses (which is not hard to do) and collect $450 from every person who wants to see his or her charge dismissed after a year of supervision.
In other contexts, that's called a shakedown.
Christie is urging the Legislature to set the fee for all three diversionary programs at $75. The bill's sponsor - Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, D-Mercer, Hunterdon - has agreed. The Legislature should make the change - to save the worthwhile Municipal Court program it created and to remove the incentive for municipalities to abuse it.

Cracking with Realtek HD - New soundcard
There is another thread all about the problem in the title so I won't get into too many details here, only to say that I get a crackling type noise after waking my computer from sleeping or hibernating. I know some others have the same issue. I don't get it when restarting fully though. I use the Realtek HD sound chip built in to my motherboard.
I've had enough of it, plus I'm also sick of the constant noises coming out of my speakers due to interference from my Skype box, mobile phone, mains hum, etc.. Whatever I try and wherever I move things too, I still get constant noise of some sort.
All I want is high quality sound, and I'm not even bothered about surround at the moment. I'd like 2.1 though as I definitely need a subwoofer. So finally my question - If I buy a new soundcard and speakers that I can connect digitally (current speakers only have an analogue connection), will I get rid of all these nasty noises?
Thanks for any help.

Going to a "digital" output most likely will not change anything. Sleep/Standby can and has caused many problems. I don't use either, the only thing I do is "power off" the monitor after a designated period, nothing else.
There are also the "noise", "crackling", "popping" or whatever you want to call it with separate sound cards, too. All the sources or potential sources of the problems have to be eliminated.
|My System Specs

Thanks for replying Fireberd. The reason I think a digital output may help is that any noise picked up in the cabling between the PC output and speaker amp input, won't then be heard. Of course it's hard to be sure exactly what part of the system that noise is being picked up at.
I did have another sound card before, which was a highly thought of one but I had issues with it, particularly the terrible software. So I sold it but now wish I'd kept it as I was better off than I am now. I did still have some noise picked up "somewhere", but at least I didn't have this crackling.
|My System Specs
|14 May 2011
Unless you have a poorly grounded system and are running the speaker cables over AC power, near transformers, etc there shouldn't be any noise, crackling, hum, etc introduced into the audio. The output from the PC is a relatively low Impedence which is not susecptable to picking up noise. I am a guitar amp tech, along with a PC tech and haven't seen what you think is being caused by the speaker cable.
You can verify if it's the speaker system or the PC by plugging a headset into the GREEN speaker jack on the rear of the PC to see if you hear the same thing or not. Same way you should be getting the same thing on the front panel headphone jack (if you have one).
|My System Specs

Ok thanks, I'll try your suggestion. I do have a mass of wires crossing each other as I have little room to place them and some are too short to go a more sensible route. Some day I'll have to sort it all out and re-position all my equipment I suppose. As an ex electronics engineer I do have some understanding of all this, but I admit I'm lazy when it comes to doing things properly at home.

One of the coveted 8,000m peaks, Manaslu is the eighth highest mountain in the world and is a fantastic example of high altitude mountaineering. From Kathmandu we set off on a bus packed not only with us and our gear but with our entire mountain crew. The trek to base camp takes us through many local villages and we continuously get glimpses of those white giants on the horizon. Gradually the country changes; as we gain altitude the broad river valley we have followed narrows and the trail begins to cut into the sides of the steep valley.
At length we reach the base camp of Manaslu that will be our home for the next few weeks. Above us towers the huge bulk of the mountain we have come to climb. Once at base camp (4,800m) the work begins: Manaslu is a huge mountain and cannot be underestimated. In comparison to other 8,000m peaks, though, Manaslu's normal route has only moderate technical terrain. A long glacier approach leads to camp one and a short ice-fall needs to be negotiated to reach the spectacularly located camps 2, 3 and 4 and the climb requires a good understanding of basic alpine climbing techniques.
Manaslu has been climbed Alpine-style but we enhance our success rate by using expedition style climbing methods and an extremely strong Sherpa team for logistical support. An expedition to Manaslu will provide the climber with a huge amount of satisfaction and an increased skill set readying them for further expeditions of this nature. She is a perfect peak to consider before Everest or a technical 8,000m peak such as K2.

The central bank set a reference rate of 4.0704 lei/euro, up 0.05% from Friday's rate, as NBR's decision to cut key rate from 7% to 6.5% head off the appreciation of the leu.

Ember Friday
The Ember Days are celebrated with fasting (no food between meals) and half-abstinence, meaning that meat is allowed at one meal per day. (If you observe the traditional Friday abstinence from meat, then you would observe complete abstinence on Ember Friday.)
TODAY is Ember Friday!
Ember days (corruption from Lat. Quatuor Tempora, four times) are the days at the beginning of the seasons ordered by the Church as days of fast and abstinence. They were definitely arranged and prescribed for the entire Church by Pope Gregory VII (1073-1085) for the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday after 13 December (S. Lucia), after Ash Wednesday, after Whitsunday, and after 14 September (Exaltation of the Cross).
The purpose of their introduction, besides the general one intended by all prayer and fasting, was to thank God for the gifts of nature, to teach men to make use of them in moderation, and to assist the needy. The immediate occasion was the practice of the heathens of Rome. The Romans were originally given to agriculture, and their native gods belonged to the same class. At the beginning of the time for seeding and harvesting religious ceremonies were performed to implore the help of their deities: in June for a bountiful harvest, in September for a rich vintage, and in December for the seeding; hence their feriae sementivae, feriae messis, and feri vindimiales. The Church, when converting heathen nations, has always tried to sanctify any practices which could be utilized for a good purpose.
At first the Church in Rome had fasts in June, September, and December; the exact days were not fixed but were announced by the priests. The "Liber Pontificalis" ascribes to Pope Callistus (217-222) a law ordering the fast, but probably it is older. Leo the Great (440-461) considers it an Apostolic institution. When the fourth season was added cannot be ascertained, but Gelasius (492-496) speaks of all four. This pope also permitted the conferring of priesthood and deaconship on the Saturdays of ember week--these were formerly given only at Easter. Before Gelasius the ember days were known only in Rome, but after his time their observance spread. They were brought into England by St. Augustine; into Gaul and Germany by the Carlovingians. Spain adopted them with the Roman Liturgy in the eleventh century. They were introduced by St. Charles Borromeo into Milan. The Eastern Church does not know them.

More 4 star minus ,rather than 5 star. Clean and on a rocky coast but small pool and only small public cove as a beach. Rooms rather dated in an 80's style but ok but ground floor no view of the sea
Staff all young and very willing can all speak at least Spanish ,Russian and English, although I think I was the only guest from the UK. I was surprised at how good the food was in the restaurant
Lots of excellent seafood as is to be expected and plenty of wines at 20€ mark although 16€ for some sliced tomato is a little steep.actually I found the Russians rather more enjoyable than a hotel full of Germans or French for that matter!

Posted on April 20, 2016
There are a variety of cell phone signal boosters that will improve the signal to your cell phone. Booster systems enable you to make calls in weak signal areas where you couldn't before. They will also improve the Internet speed of your phone. This can make a big difference in the speed of your browsing. Signal boosters will also improve the signal to other devices. These devices are Hotspots, Tablets, Laptops, iPads etc.
A simple signal booster system for cellular phones consists of:
These systems are often called "repeater" type systems. The basic process is:
The primary system is same whether used in a vehicle or building. The biggest difference between systems is the power of the amplifier.
There are 3 basic types of cell phone signal boosters. The difference between is how much area the booster system covers. The types are:
Mobile systems vary in power and design. They all need an outside antenna, amplifier, inside antenna and a power supply.
A Cradle type booster has a cellular amplifier built into a holder. It still has an outside antenna that picks up cell signals as you travel. Cradle Boosters are easy to install, small and have a lower cost. They are also simpler to move from vehicle to vehicle than other systems. The disadvantage of a Cradle Booster system is that they have less gain or power than other systems. They can only boost the signal to one device at a time. Your cell phone sits in the cradle to receive any benefit as well.
Cradle Booster Advantages
Cradle Booster Disadvantages
A Mobile Cellular Repeater System consists of four main components.
The outside antenna communicates with your service provider's tower. The signal passes to the repeater which amplifies the signal. The inside antenna communicates with your cell phone or another cellular device.
This "repeater" type system differs from Cradle Boosters. Repeater systems have more power (gain) so they can broadcast over a larger area inside a car or truck. Your phone or cellular data device does not have to sit in a cradle.
Installation of mobile cell phone booster systems is easy. Each system requires routing a cable from outside the vehicle to the inside. Running wire is usually the most challenging part of any installation. One cable runs from the outside antenna to the amplifier. Another cable runs from the amplifier to the inside antenna on most systems. Cradle Boosters have the inside antenna built into the cradle.
Mobile Antennas
The outside vehicle antenna is usually a magnetic mount antenna. The cable runs from the antenna to a connection on the cradle. Cable from the antenna must run through a penetration point in the vehicle. The easiest entry may be through the weather-stripping around a door or trunk. You can usually pull the weather-stripping down and pass the cable underneath it. You then push the weather-stripping back into place. You can also run the cable through other openings in the vehicle. For instance, Hole (NMO) Mount antennas require drilling a hole in the vehicle's roof or trunk.
Power Options
After installing all the cable in the vehicle and connecting it to the amplifier, you can power the amp. For DC Power, you can use the DC Power Supply that comes with most systems. Plug this power supply into your car's cigarette lighter or similar power port. There are also Hardwire DC Power Kits if you want to attach the power to your vehicle's wiring. If your vehicle has AC Power (such as an RV), AC Power Supplies are also available if you prefer.
Installation Video
We have a good video of a mobile cell phone booster installation process.
There is a wide cost range for mobile signal boosters. They currently start start at $130 for the weBoost Drive 3G-S Cradle Booster. The price can be as high as $480 for the weBoost Drive 4G-X Extended Area Booster. Different antenna options (for trucks, RVs, Boats, etc) can also add to the cost.
> Shop Mobile Cell Phone Signal Boosters
Mobile systems can work in your home or office. But, mobile systems only cover small areas like a few feet. They for inside your car, truck, van, RV, etc. For some people, that's enough. Add an AC power supply, maybe a different outside antenna and you have a small area building system.
If your goal is to improve signal over a larger area in a building, you'll need a system made for buildings. Building systems can improve the cell signal in a greater area than mobile systems. Building systems can cover a few rooms, a whole home, a warehouse and even multiple floor buildings.
As with mobile systems, the typical Building System consists of:
Installing a building system is easy and straightforward. Many times running cable from the amplifier to the antennas is the most challenging part. With larger buildings, penetration points are usually available. On a home the cable is usually run from the antenna mounted on the fascia board and the cable run through a hole made in the soffit. Indoor antennas are usually mounted in the ceilings with cable running through an attic. They can also be mounts on walls.
Each system comes with a set of full installation instructions.
The Lights on the amplifier will guide you in diagnosing any issues. The typical lights (depending on which system you are installing) you might see are:
The included instructions with each system will give you help in troubleshooting each issue.
The cost of building signal booster systems can range from $349 for the weBoost eqo System, $550 for the weBoost Connect 4G (for small to mid sized homes). Larger buildings can cost well over $1,000 for commercial systems like the WilsonPro 70 System.
> Shop Building Cell Phone Signal Boosters
In the past, many cell phones had RF ports that enabled you to connect an external antenna to them. If an antenna wasn't enough, you could connect an amplifier as well. This option is rarely available with modern mobile phones.
The Direct Connect method is still used with Machine-To-Machine (M2M) devices with good results. M2M devices are Vending Machines, ATMs, Remote Monitoring Systems, etc. They communicate using USB Modems, Hotspots, MiFi Devices and Cellular Routers.
The typical steps to installing an M2M type system are:
The cost of direct connection type cellular amplifiers currently range from $160 for the Wilson Signal 3G to $250 for the Wilson Signal 4G. Additional costs can occur for different antennas, connectors and adapters.

my grandmother made my mother's wedding dress for her and it's very simple and very beautiful, but it just wasn't me.
so, considering my mom would not be wearing her dress again, we decided to give it another use...
i took it to my seamstress who is making my wedding dress (sorry, wont be posting any pics pre-wedding but i have a whole lineup of secrets and surprises scheduled to post while we're on our honeymoon!), and she was able to create a "cocktail" dress out of it, which i will wear to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner :). she used every piece of the dress, including lace and all. it's a perfect way to wear my mother's dress, but for another use.
here it is!
|9.16.1978 - see how pretty she looks!
|this is such a weird picture. my eyes look brown and i look like i'm confused. either way, here is the BEFORE.
|i cut my head off because it was a fugly face. but do you recognize the shoes? :) (and don't worry, i will be wearing a slip!)
i'm so excited to be able to continue the legacy with the dress, and maybe it can continue on with my family when the time comes.

Complaint Review: Governor John Kasich

Governor John Kasich wating on his call-up for the Romney Cabinet (Ohio needs Mitt) sitting on the dismissal of hundreds of false cases of physician medical license suspension & discipline, from before his term; in the 19 Columbus, Ohio
*General Comment: Hey Rita,
Governor Kasich is sitting on the dismissal of hundreds of false cases of physician medical license suspension & discipline, from before his term - claiming that he doesn't have to review these 'stacks' (on his way to a Romney Cabinet appointment), and won't make the Ohio State Medical Board answer their phones. Tom Dilling, Larry Householder, Richard Whitehouse and John Husted know more about the numbers of physicians and names - Larry Householder's office admitted the problem to one woman physician in 2003 - that the Ohio House would never pass a Bill to open the 'confidential' complaints in unresolved active physician cases - because of the liability of the false suspensions. [continued below]....
In 2003, it was estimated by then-Speaker Larry Householder's staff, that opening the 'confidential' complaints in the unresolved cases of physicians suspended for 'provisional' - some for nothing legal - would bankrupt and paralyze Columbus - the just legal filings and damages that would happen. So the modus operandi is to let the statute of limitations expire on these cases, and never license the physicians again. All that Mr. Whitehouse talks about is the 'statute of limitations.'
The Medical Board of Ohio, in the last 20 years, has acted to suspend hundreds of physicians on unverified 'confidential' complaints - and Texas can tell Ohio the problems with 'confidential' physician complaints - as they've been sued successfully for this problem, and lost.
The Texas Medical Board had a woman MD President until recently, whose husband was filing false 'confidential' physician complaints on her 'competition' for years until discovered - a number of physician lives were ruined, as it's very hard to get your credentials, reputation, and practices back after a medical suspension - even a false medical suspension. No one knows the extent of the problem in Ohio, but in the 1990s Carla O'Day MD was having the medical licenses suspended of former classmates from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine - classmates who did better than her and went to class.
Governor John Kasich has known about the stacks of false physician cases since before he took office - every other Governor, and State Medical Board, knows about the problems at the Ohio State Medical Board - as does Benton Taylor who won't answer his phone anymore. Members of the New York State Medical Board knew that nothing could be depended upon that the State Medical Board of Ohio had acted on - when reviewing cases for New York licensure.
In the 1990s medical license in Ohio were taken even for the physician objecting to the wrong care being done to the physician themselves - you could not question your own care without losing your hospital privileges and medical license for the personality disorder of not going along with admittedly 'bad care' = where you were supposed to be 'silent' for the problem. Dr. Anita Steinbergh has been responsible for keep these cases going for most of her 20 years on the Medical Board. Many of the cases had no patient complaints - they were political cases from the getgo.
Medical mistakes were seen as something that the physician had to 'lie about,' change their story about, or lose their license = the Ohio way of handling medical mistakes and errors. Women physicians were not allowed to object to their fractures being treated by orthopedics who did not have the Board Certification to treat these fractures, orthopedics who Blue Cross/Blue Shield would not reimburse were touted as MDs that the woman MD had to refer to in order to keep or get her license back. Re-licensure in Ohio comes with referral obligations to 'right' physicians.
In 1998, the Medical Board admitted the problem to some of the physicians involved, promising to open their cases for 'reforms' if they would agree to 'no damages.' The physicians agreed, and the offer was taken back before the revews got started - probably because the damages & liability of the State - after admittedly cheating multiple times in some of these cases - was something that the State would be liable for - no matter that the physicians signed legal non-suit agreements.
The statute of limitations is gone in these cases - and there has still been no reivew or dismissals. Most of the physicians just wanted their reputation back and 'clearance' - to leave Ohio. So these 1998 stacks were continued to the present 2012 - none are resolved apparently - Mr. Dilling has the list of physicians given this offer.
Tom Dilling would get on the phone from 1998-2005 and threaten the physicians that they would submit, admit the case, or never practice again - even after the State had admitted 'cheating' in the Hearings on the case. The State Court of Appeals told the Medical Board to solve one case in a 'different way' after throwing it out - that it was a physician-physician disagreement about bad care where the woman physician was ganged up on after enduring a bad orthopedic experience.
Governor Kasich you need to open the 'confidential' complaints in all unresolved cases at the State Medical Board with no patient complaints - where the physicians were already offered the 1998 'offer' - and were as the Board put it 'probably innocent.' What's your excuse? Secretary of Commerce offer - where you will have worse fraud to handle?

What pay gap?
In contrast with national figures, New York women age 25-34 are making more money than men. A new study released by the Institute for Women's Policy Research says women working full time make $1.02 compared to men's $1. It also found that 47% of women in New York hold a bachelor's degree or better, compared to 38% of men.
But New York is the only state where women make more than or even as much as men. On average they make 89 cents to the male's 1 dollar.
The study, first reported by Glamour, also compared the states based on women's salaries, health and drinking rates.

Live car parking data for sites within the Nottingham ParkSmart system.
Please note: Last updated field on this page is relevant to this record on Open Data Nottingham, and is not updated with each refresh of car park occupancy. Please see the 'LastUpdated' field within the data download.This dataset is a live feed from our internal car park management system (Parksmart), and as such will report faults where they exist - please use the <Fault> element. During routine maintenance and replacement of car park hardware, there may be duplicate entries for certain sites.
Occupancy data from all car parks in the City Centre is transmitted from the car park barrier-counting system either directly to the Parksmart database at the Traffic Control Centre, or is accessed via a data stream from NCP head office. For Broadmarsh and the outlying Park and Ride sites the data is obtained from the inductive count loops situated at the entry / exit points of the car parks. The inductive count loops produce less accurate occupancy figures and may result in over or under counting.
Note 1: certain car park elements may contain zero values, and may not report a fault status. Please consider these car parks 'faulty'; unfortunately, this is a feature of the software we use, and consumers will need to take this into account.
Note 2: The <DisabledCapacity> element will always be zero; please disregard this field and use the values from our 'Car Parks' dataset. We will be removing this field in future.
This data can be linked to the Car park (http://www.opendatanottingham.org.uk/dataset.aspx?id=44) and Park and Ride data (http://www.opendatanottingham.org.uk/dataset.aspx?id=29).

This month's Activities for Catholic Families printable wasn't quite as easy as some other months have been. I made an attempt to omit anything Lenten while making this activity printable, and let me tell you – that makes up a whole lot of possible March activities.
Now, you may say, "Why would you omit all of the Lenten activities?" Well, it's because very shortly, I'll be sharing a printable that is just for activities for Lent! Watch for it later this week!
As in previous months, many of the activities on the printable will also be wonderful for non-Catholic Christians to do with their families as well.
But, for now, here are the activities that appear on the 10 March Activities for Catholic Families Printable:
1. Make Cards for the Fathers in Your Life. St. Joseph was a wonderful husband and father, and his feast day is March 19th.
2. Find a coloring or activity page about a March saint, such as this St. Katharine Drexel coloring page (March 3rd).
3. Find a three leaf clover and talk about the Holy Trinity.
4. Go to a book store story time or just take time to enjoy a fun time at the book store. St. John of God, the patron saint of booksellers, has his feast day on March 8th.
5. Learn about the saints and feast days in March by using a free printable word search about the saints who have feast days in March.
6. Plan a visit from a "leprechaun."
7. Go on a nature walk and look for signs of Spring. (First day of Spring is March 20th.)
8. Make nun and priest peg dolls with your kids.
9. Plan a backyard garden. This is a perfect time to plan a summer garden or start cooler weather crops. Even a small garden can help children feel close to God through his Creation.
10. Make your favorite angel craft or maybe even a tasty treat like angel shaped cookies (with white frosting, of course, for the solemnity) to celebrate the Annunciation of the Lord (March 25th).
Download the 10 Activities for Catholic Families in March Printable*
If you're looking for past month's printables, you can find an index page with links to each of the printables here.
*If you are having clarity issues with the printable, please right click on the image and choose "Save Link As" and download the document to your computer. Then, open it from your computer, rather than through your web browser's PDF plugin, which can sometimes cause some blurriness or other issues. Another solution can be to download the printable in a different web browser than you usually use.
Look through all of the free printables here at Many Little Blessings (including First Communion, Baptism, and Confirmation invitations/announcements)

Kris Meeke has his feet back on the ground after historic triumph
Kris Meeke may have had time to savour his sensational Rally Finland success as he settled back into the luxury seats of a private jet flying out of Jyväskylä. But today he was back to earth and getting on with his 'day job'.
After becoming the first British driver to win the Finnish round of the World championship, Meeke and co-driver Paul Nagle celebrated with Craig Breen and Scott Martin, who finished third, and the rest of the Citroen team on Sunday night.
But yesterday while Breen and Nagle flew back to Dublin, Meeke was on board the jet bound for the next stage of the development programme of Citroen's C3 car for 2017.
On the flight he joined Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi who not only finished 16th on the rally along with his Ballyclare co-driver Chris Patterson but is responsible for the team's Abu Dhabi sponsorship.
Officially Citroen are taking a gap year from the World championship with Meeke leading the test sessions of the all-new, faster, more powerful car. He has competed only four times this season, leading each time and winning in Portugal and Finland.
Reflecting on his Finnish victory he said: "When you dream you hope it can become reality but I never suspected I could do it in the fashion we did. I don't think it will get much better than this in terms of rally wins. It's my goal to try to win the World championship in the next two years but I think we did something special."
But despite his historic win, Citroen have no plans to change Meeke's limited WRC schedule.
Citroen remain coy about when the Dungannon driver will be back in action again. The next round is Rally Germany in mid-August which Meeke is expected to skip but sources close to the team suggest he will go to Rally China in early September.
It is an event new to the championship this year and the team will not want rivals like Volkswagen and Hyundai to gain an advantage ahead of their big push for the World title in 2017.
In addition China is a huge market for Citroen.

* Euro off 2-week high as Spain decision seen not imminent
* Market may shift focus to earnings, share prices
* Limited reaction after Greece seeks deficit target extension
TOKYO, Oct 9 (Reuters) - The euro was on the back foot on Tuesday as uncertainty about Spain persisted after euro zone ministers said the country did not need a bailout yet, dashing investors' hopes they might inch closer to a resolution of the debt problems of the region's fourth largest economy.
Caution on company earnings also kept risk assets, including the euro, in check, as investors weighed the impact of the global slowdown on corporate earnings due out this week.
The euro bought $1.2971 in early Asian trade, s lightly higher than l ate U.S. levels but s till about a full cent be low a two-week high of $1.3072 hit on Friday following an unexpected drop in the U.S. jobless rate.
Against the yen, it fetched 101.70 yen, likewise off Friday's two-week high of 102.80 yen.
Euro zone finance ministers, gathering in Luxembourg, delivered a united defense of Spain on Monday, saying the country was taking steps to overhaul its economy, successfully funding itself in the financial markets and did not need a bailout, at least for now.
Still, selling in the euro was curbed due to widespread expectations that Madrid would eventually apply for aid, and Spanish bond yields were now stabilising far below their peaks in July.
Uncertainty over Greece was not having a decisive impact on the euro even though there was little sign of progress in negotiations on how to get the country back on track with its bailout programme.
Greek Finance Minster Yannis Stournaras said international lenders were considering its request to give Greece two more years to reach its budget deficit reduction targets but he added they had just started discussions.
With European policymakers seen putting major decisions on the back burner for now, short-term players may shift their focus to upcoming corporate earnings, market players said.
"The negative correlation between U.S. stock prices and the dollar has remained very high. We expect the dollar to stay under pressure if share prices keep rising," said Junya Tanase, chief FX strategist at JPMorgan Chase.
On Monday, U.S. stocks slipped from recent highs on anticipation the earnings season would be weak, though trading was extremely light as the U.S. government and the bond market were closed for the Columbus Day holiday.
Signs of slowdown in global growth, especially China, are raising worries many companies may have to lower their guidance.
The dollar's index against a basket of currencies stood at 79.55, steady from Monday but higher than Friday's two-week low of 79.103. Still it needed to rise convincingly above the Oct. 1 high of 80.147 to start a fresh uptrend.
Against the yen, which often tends to buck the dollar's overall trend and underperform when risk appetite is strong, the dollar was little changed at 78.35 yen, but still below a two-week high of 78.88 set on Friday.
The Australian dollar bounced back 0.4 percent from late U.S. levels to $1.0233, though the rebound came only after it hit a fresh three-month low of $1.0149 on Monday.
The Australian currency, often used as a proxy for trade on the Chinese economy because of China's significance to the Australian economy, has been under pressure in recent months on signs of a slowdown in the world's second-largest economy.
The currency could test $1.0103, a 50 percent retracement of the currency's rally from May to September with the Australian central bank seen cutting rates further down the road.

I got this info from http://www.facebook.com/healthremedies.awhw
3. CUCUMBER The beauty of cucumber is it's water content – 95%. That is phenomenal and you won't find that anywhere else. It's the daddy of water-content. This of course makes it an incredibly hydrating food to consume, that ALSO contains superb amounts of antioxidants, including the super-important lignans. These highly beneficial polyphenols have more commonly been associated with the cruciferous vegetables, but their content in other veggies such as cucumbers is gaining more and more attention. Cucumbers contain a right load of lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol , three lignans that have a huge and very strong history of research in connection with Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular disease as well as several cancer types, including Breast, Uterine, Ovarian, and Prostate Cancers. The best thing about cucumber is that they provide the base for practically every alkaline soup, smoothie and juice – giving you a very alkaline, very nutritious base that also tastes great. In terms of the actual nutrient RDA per serve, cucumbers contain fair amounts of vitamins K and C, and slightly less of vitamin A and the B vitamins. Cucumbers also contain the following alkaline minerals: calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, selenium, copper, manganese, iron and zinc.
6. CELERY - Celery, like cucumber is a favourite because it's alkaline AND really high water content, so is used very frequently as a base in juices and soups (not so much smoothies as you have to juice it first…and then you have double the washing up). One of celery's big benefits is it's vitamin C level, which has the well known benefits – but two of it's lesser known nutrients are phthalides which have been shown to Lower Cholesterol and coumarins which have been shown to inhibit Several Cancers. The beauty of vitamin C rich foods are that they help with the most common and most challenging health concerns – they support the İmmune system, inflammation (so helps with Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Asthma etc), and vitamin C also helps significantly with Cardiovascular Health. If you are on a weight loss journey, you'll also be happy to hear that this alkaline staple contains plenty of potassium and sodium and so is a diuretic – meaning it helps rid the body of excess fluids.
