Welcome to the latest in our series of regular alerts containing a round-up of news from our capital markets practice. We advise companies, financial advisers and underwriters on all aspects of capital markets and public M&A transactions in all the principal markets of the UK, US, Continental Europe and Asia Pacific. We would be delighted to discuss with you any issues arising out of the items covered in this update.
Takeovers: Schemes of Arrangement and Stamp Duty
The Companies Act 2006 (Amendment of Part 17) Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/472) amend the Companies Act to prevent the use of share cancellations by target companies in takeovers conducted using schemes of arrangement. Companies will be required to use a 'transfer' scheme of arrangement or a contractual offer, on which stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable.
The regulations came into force on 4 March 2015.
A copy of the SI is available on the GOV.UK website.
Pre-Emption Rights: Revised Pre-Emption Group Statement of Principles
The Pre-Emption Group has published a revised statement of principles for the disapplication of pre-emption rights. The statement of principles is intended to provide guidance to companies and shareholders on the factors to take into account when considering whether to disapply pre-emption rights and is supported by NAPF and the Investment Association.
The statement was last published in 2008. Although no changes have been made to the key thresholds for the general disapplication of pre- emption rights, the principal amendments include:
- Clarifying the scope of the statement: it applies to both UK and non-UK incorporated companies whose shares are admitted to the premium segment of the Official List.
- Clarifying that the statement applies to all issues of equity securities that are undertaken to raise cash for the issuer or its subsidiaries, regardless of the legal form of the transaction, including, for example, cashbox transactions.
- Introducing greater freedom to undertake non-pre-emptive issues of equity securities in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment, to allow companies the opportunity to finance expansion opportunities as and when they arise.
- Introducing greater transparency on the discount at which equity securities are issued non-pre-emptively.
- Although The Pre-Emption Group encourages companies and investors to use the revised statement immediately, it acknowledges that, as the 2015 AGM season is imminent, a measure of flexibility may be required.
We have produced a more detailed note on the revised Principles which can be located on our website.
A copy of the Statement of Principles can be viewed on the Pre- Emption Group website. (PDF)
Financial Regulation: Social Media and Financial Promotions
The FCA has published a Guidance Note on financial promotions in social media. The FCA is not against companies using social media in financial promotions and reminds companies that any form of communication is capable of being a financial promotion if it includes an invitation or inducement to engage in financial activity.
All communications, including financial promotions, must be fair, clear and not misleading. Communications through social media can potentially reach a wide audience very rapidly, so firms should take that into account when considering making a financial promotion through social media. Firms should also ensure that their original communication would remain fair, clear and not misleading if it were to end up in front of a non-intended recipient (through others retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook).
The Guidance details specific areas that firms need to consider and provides some solutions and illustrative examples.
A copy of the Guidance Note is available on the FCA website.

text: Went for a car ride close to the US border over the week-end and left the rogers network. Upon my return I now can't for some reason cancel my call forwarding. When I use the menu Call Settings > Call Forward I get a Network or SIM card error. When I directly dial the code #21# I get Connection problem or invalid MMI code error. I've tried factory resetting the phone, and also pulled the battery. Calls are forwarded to my office line right now making the cell phone useless... Will be calling Rogers support when I get back in a few hours. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I've got the latest Rogers ROM installed (911 fix) All other features are working fine (voice and data) Sandy

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is what you'd get if Baghdad Bob had "graduated" from home school and bible college with an internship at the Ark Encounter creationist theme park.
Her well-honed ability to bend the meanings of words to their absolute limits with doe-eyed innocence would instantly qualify her for any Republican PR job, but it makes her a perfect Deputy White House Press Secretary for 'Presidential Apprentice' Donald Trump.
Yesterday, she did her best to pretend that Trump's bizarre accusations about wiretapping at Trump Tower are worthy of genuine investigation, exasperating ABC's Martha Raddatz. Appearing on NBC's Today Show this morning, Sanders whined that "The media loves to create this false narrative against the current president but is so quick to dismiss anything under the past administration."
She was trying to walk Trump's Saturday morning tweets back a step when host Savannah Guthrie challenged her careful phrasing by reading his words aloud, at which point Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded as if her boss was the real victim in all of this.
In fact, she seems to regard him as a Christian martyr, complete with magical powers. "If the president walked across the Potomac, the media would report that he couldn't swim," she said, oblivious to heresy.
Arguing that poor Donald Trump is being held to a double standard(!), Sanders offered no proof for dubious claims that Trump Tower was wiretapped, but insisted that her boss's Breitbart-born conspiracy theory is worthy of investigation by congressional committees because he "firmly believes" in it.
"All we're asking for at this point through the administration is that we get down to the bottom of it and see if it did," she said the same tone of voice that proponents of intelligent design use to obscure the fossil record. "Let's look and let's get the details and let's put those out there for the American people to make a decision."
In related news, 65% of Americans surveyed in a new CNN/ORC poll say that a special prosecutor, and not just Congress, should investigate Trump's Russian influence scandal.
Here is the video of Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Watch the power of fact-free spin:

Posts Tagged 'Christmas'
Christmas pondering, 2015…
Is this what Jesus looked like? We don't know, of course, but a British anatomical artist has taken a reasoned shot at figuring it out. Jerry Newcombe tries to figure out if Christmas has all the pagan roots it is reported to have. As Kevin Williamson points out, the real story is a very strange tale. George Weigel looks at a larger picture.
Artsy.net examines Nativity scenes in art through the years.
How would you like to spend 74 years being asked about a letter you wrote as a child? Virginia O'Hanlon was. If you're a fan of the movie "It's a Wonderful Life", you'll be interested in the real man the character George Bailey is based upon.
Compare this year's Christmas address of His Oneness with one by Ronald Reagan. Shocking difference, isn't there?
What if Charles Dickens were a Trekkie? A stage production of "A Klingon Christmas Carol", presented in the made-up Klingon language, attempts to answer this question. You can also acquire Star Wars cards for the Christmas season if you're so inclined.
Back to more serious matters, Victor Davis Hanson urges us to revive the tradition of gratitude, which Cicero viewed as the parent of all other virtues.
Kevin Williamson reminds us that capitalism is the true provider of gifts, and that government is not Santa Claus.
Santa Bush, Scrooge Obama…
For the eight years of his presidency, the family of George W. Bush never went further than Camp David during the Christmas season, until the day AFTER Christmas, thereby allowing Secret Service, White House staff, journalists, and others to spend Christmas Day with their families.
Every year the Obama family jets off to Hawaii well before Christmas, so Christmas with family and friends is out for many of those people. The Obamas feel so entitled that they need not be considerate of others, which is why they are so often late for events. The Bush family was rarely late for anything at all, and this is but one example of the consideration they showed for the people whose lives were affected by their travels.
Class does indeed tell, and if historians are truthful, the Obama Administration will be known as one of power and cunning and ruthlessness and corruption, but utterly bereft of class.
Some Christmas cheer…
Andrea Shea King provides some cheer for us with the world's largest Christmas stocking, and some wonderful choir work.
Global Christmas 2015…
Here is what Christmas dinner looks like in 13 different countries. I'd be very happy eating any and all of it! I'm less enthusiastic about some of these dishes. Here are some rather strange Christmas customs around the world, though I heartily endorse this family's new tradition. You may be familiar with some of these traditions, but probably not this one. I think I'd be fairly comfortable with a British Christmas.
For amusement, take a gander at these very odd nativity sets, courtesy of Debby Witt at The Corner. Do you know where Rudolph came from, or when Santa became associated with the North Pole? I just saw the classic Hershey's Kisses ad, so I dug this up for you.
Did you know there are monsters associated with Christmas? I had heard of Krampus and Frau Perchta, but none of the others. Another type of monsters, the Nazis, put a different spin on Christmas.
If your family is fond of perennial jokes about Aunt Martha's hard-as-a-brick fruitcake, these facts may cause you to have some respect for this ancient treat. No food? What about some Christmas animals and plants? Poinsettias aren't as dangerous as you you've been told, and mistletoe is more unsavory than you know. The USA isn't the only country which insists on having pets join in the festivities.
Grinch at Christmas 2015…
Someone stole a thousand Christmas trees from a Costco. Chicago's official Christmas tree in Millennium Park was vandalized. Harvard is too busy serving up social justice to educate its students. A Kentucky school district removed all religious references in an elementary production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Cornell prohibits angels and mistletoe.
Here are the customary warnings about Yuletide hazards to household pets at this time of year. One Santa was very disobliging. Somalia has banned Christmas altogether, along with New Year's celebrations.
Bethlehem, NY did not install its traditional "Merry Christmas" sign this year. The seasonal songs we've all long enjoyed are offensive, don't you know. The Washington Post frets that commercialism has devoured Christmas, as if those grinches care about a Christian holiday.
For balance, Newsmax put together a list of great places to visit over the holidays. Pure Wow has another list with some spectacular photos.
There will be a full moon this Christmas, assuming you live in a place which has skies clear enough to allow you to see it for the first time since 1977. It won't happen again until 2034. Perhaps moon madness is infecting some of us. Do you remember when no one was afraid to wish you a Merry Christmas?
Paying Christmas forward…
One woman started a pay-if-forward chain at McDonald's in Lakeland, Florida, which continued for 250 cars before someone clueless ended it.
Charlie Brown at 50…
A Charlie Brown Christmas turned 50 years old yesterday. The charming animation is no less popular now than it was when it premiered. I am cheerfully among the millions who faithfully watch it each and every year, because who doesn't need some light-hearted entertainment?

Unanswered: Cache
We are running an ASE 12.5 on a Winnt4 Ent. Edt. I have noticed that the application we are using is demanding 16k cache a lot. The server was configured with a 2k pool 1.7Gb, 4k pool 100Mb and a 16k pool 200Mb. I have changed this to 2k=1.4Gb, 4k pool=100Mb, 16k pool=500Mb. I can tell that the server is using between 1.7Gb and 1.9Gb total cache and not the whole cache. The top 4 tables are using a total of 1,3Gb cache. The problem is that I can´t tell which cache pool (2/4/16k) these tables are using in order to configure the pools. The question is, I want to know exactly what tables are using what pool. Any ideas?

Re: Cache
You can use the new MON tables (since 12.5.1) to obtain a lot of details about this type of issue.
1) Why don't you create a specific named cache for your 4 tables ?
2) create a named cache for the log and give it a 4K buffer pool
3) then remove the 4k buffer pool of your other caches

A-List, logo's latest homolicious televenture, has been touted as, "The Real Housewives of Wherethefuckever" with balls. They're not wrong but, as studly star Reichen says, "it has a testosterone element and it's much more sexually charged among the cast". Right. So imagine the Foreheadless Girl Wonder was flipping over the table in order to have sex with Danielle Skank instead of trying to kill her.
As I watched the first episode* I wondered if it was misogynist of me to like these boys better than any housewife. After interviewing them I realized it was just common sense. Maybe it's because they're younger and less jaded, or maybe it is because they're men, but The A-List has none of the odorous, cloying desperation or exaggerated self-confidence of the miscellaneous hausfrau. It's like Ryan said, "TJ and I have lived our lives like the cameras have already been there and it's like,, now they finally caught up to us."
Of course there's catty, backstabbing drama, but there's no winking at the camera with a cloying self-awareness that crops up in almost all reality TV. When these boys say, as Derek did, "I'm just going to be myself and If you like it, hate it, that's ok," I believe them. With things like a hot-tub groping session being interrupted by a phone-call from a devious ex, these lives don't need editing or prompting to be good TV. The teaser alone would have hooked me in for the entire season.

4th International Cloud Expo Photo Album on Ulitzer
The past month has seen an unprecedented concentration of Cloud-related articles, events, tweets, and - above all - product launches, partnership announcements and M&A moves. So is Cloud Computing, after three years, finally coming to the boil? Here, by way of allowing you to judge for yourself, SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal brings you a timeline of the trajectory of the Cloud so far.
Jeff Bezos' Risky Bet - BusinessWeek publishes a cover article on Amazon's "Elastic Compute Cloud" (EC2) - a totally new on-demand, pay-as-you-go storage and computing service launched earlier that year, in August 2006. [From the article: "Bezos wants Amazon to run your business, at least the messy technical and logistical parts of it, using those same technologies and operations that power his $10 billion online store. In the process, Bezos aims to transform Amazon into a kindIBM (NYSE: IBM) unveiled plans for "Blue Cloud," a series of cloud computing offerings that will allow corporate data centers to operate more like the Internet by enabling computing across a distributed, globally accessible fabric of resources, rather than on local machines or remote server farms."]
Ajit Jaokar writes about "cloud computing" and so begins SYS-CON Media's high-energy and continuous coverage of the Cloud. [From the article: "What I am proposing is a mobile phone optimized to accessing information on the Web...It could be based on the idea of Cloud computing."]
RightScale, still at that time an early-stage company, wins an award for providing support for Amazon's EC2 and helping companies to tap raw computing power in the brave new world of cloud computing.

"Large Crowd Gains Insight into Future of Cloud Computing" (eWeek)
{From the article: "There may be a worldwide recession that is cutting back travel for many people, but don't tell it to the organizers and attendees of the fourth International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, which opened Nov. 2 and is being held here at the Santa Clara Convention Center through Nov. 4.Most of the 30 or so sessions on Day 1 were well-attended, and the three main presentations in the late afternoon were packed to standing-room-only status."]

Why can some people enjoy a glass or two of wine with dinner, while others feel compelled to keep drinking? While it's true that everyone has a different tolerance threshold, about 10-15 percent of the population has what is known as an addictive personality that makes them more vulnerable to developing unhealthy habits.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), about 21.5 million Americans aged 12 and older were found to have a substance use disorder in 2014. Out of this number, about 2.6 million people had an issue with alcohol and drugs, 4.5 million people had problems with drugs only, and 14.4 million people suffered from alcohol-related problems. However, addiction does not always come in the form of drugs and alcohol, and it can include unhealthy relationships with work, gambling, and even exercising.
To understand more thoroughly how certain people become addicted and why they are more vulnerable to developing an addiction, we need to take a closer look at the biology of addiction.
Addiction—itself—is a disease of the brain; it is not the level of willpower or lack of morals that someone has. When someone begins taking a certain drug or alcohol, the reward part of the brain is activated and a positive emotion is associated with the substance. In addition to alcohol and drugs like cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, people can also become addicted to prescription painkillers like opioids.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, about 18 million adult Americans have an alcohol use disorder (AUD). This means that their drinking causes harm and distress to themselves and those close to them. Alcoholism is a disease that results in a strong craving for alcohol, loss of control over how much is consumed, physical dependence with withdrawal symptoms, and a tolerance which means that the person needs to increase intake to feel the same effect previously felt at lower levels of consumption.
Drug addiction can be in the form of a tobacco use disorder, opioid use disorder, cannabis use disorder, stimulant use disorder, and hallucinogen use disorder. When someone is suffering from a substance use disorder or a drug addiction, they develop a dependence on the drug and will continue to use the drug despite causing harm to one's health, employment status, or personal relationships.
The brain is the most complex and dynamic organ in the human body. We need it to drive a car, enjoy a meal, and create an artistic masterpiece. There are different parts that are responsible for different functions, and when substances are introduced to the brain, they can alter these areas.
Addiction changes the brain's natural balance, its homeostasis. This natural state of balance is required to maintain a well-functioning biological system. Each individual's state of balance is unique and is affected differently by drugs and other influencers, and thus, causes some people to become addicted while others can prevent addiction from occurring more easily. Addiction, a chronic over-stimulation of the brain, interferes with the maintenance of this balance.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addiction also changes the brain's chemistry, communication patterns, and the cerebral structures and functions. Drugs are chemicals that tap into the brain's communication system and interfere with the way neurons send and receive messages. Drugs work directly with the reward system of the brain. They flood the circuit with dopamine, which is the "happy" neurotransmitter. When this reward system is overstimulated, it produces euphoric effects which strongly reinforce the use of drugs and urge the user to continue with the substance or harmful activity.
As drug use continues, the brain compensates the overwhelming surge in dopamine by producing less of it or reducing the number of receptors that can receive its signals. As a result, the person taking the drugs will experience a drastic drop in dopamine and their ability to experience any kind of pleasured is reduced. Someone who is suffering from an addiction may eventually feel lifeless, depressed, and will need to continue taking drugs or alcohol, or entertain another addictive activity, to try and bring their levels of dopamine back.
Someone suffering from an addiction will go out of their way to continue their drug use and experience the euphoric sensation of the dopamine surge; this results in changes in behavior and may cause a person to stop seeing friends, quit once-loved activities and hobbies, and neglect other personal responsibilities.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse says that biology, social environment, and a person's stage of development affect their chances of developing addiction.
A person's genes in combination with their environmental influences make up 50 percent of their sensitivity to addiction. Gender, ethnicity, and the presence of a mental disorder are also potential risks.
Influences from family and friends, socioeconomic status, and a person's general quality of life are risk factors for addiction. Peer pressure, physical and sexual abuse, stress, and the quality of parenting can influence someone to turn to drugs or alcohol.
Someone's age and stage in life can be more or less affected by a temptation to experiment with drugs or alcohol. For example, adolescents are more vulnerable to substance abuse because of social influences and the parts of their brain that are still developing, such as decision-making, judgment, and self-control.
An impulsive behavior is defined as acting without thinking about the consequences of one's actions. This may be something as simple as eating a large piece of cake when you're on a diet, or staying out late partying when you know you have to wake up early for an important work meeting. Almost everyone succumbs to temptations sometimes; a person who engages in this type of behavior consistently is one who may be vulnerable to an addictive personality.
Do you know a person who seems to be driven by sensations, experiences, and new ways to get an adrenaline rush? This is the sensation-seeker and they may be more sensitive to developing addictions and substance or activity abuse problems. They are often more open to trying drugs since they have a constant desire for new experiences and are open to experimentation.
People who tend to value and prioritize not conforming with society and relevant pressures are possible candidates for addictive personalities. Someone who feels and voices a disconnect and disagreement with lifestyles, goals, and other ways of life that are traditionally valued by society may be less likely to notice when their use of a substance or activity is negatively impacting their life.
A person who doesn't have a close group of friends or actively participates in social gatherings may be more tolerant of alienating themselves from society. If someone values nonconformity, for example, they may alienate themselves from others or naturally cause others to avoid them. A lack of social interactions may lead to a person feeling lonely and turning to drugs or alcohol for self-medication to relieve negative emotions.
Someone who suffers from low self-esteem may be more likely to try using drugs due to the confidence-boosting properties some substances provide. Stimulants like amphetamines and methamphetamines are used by many people for the false improvement of confidence in social situations. Therefore, people who lack self-esteem may be more tempted to start taking drugs to be better at socializing with others in the hopes of making friends and feeling accepted.
Compulsive behavior comes in the form of participating in activities regardless of any negative consequences they have. This sign of an addictive personality in particular is often the final to occur and results from the person having a combination of the previous traits listed above. Someone who is a sensation-seeker, values nonconformity, and who acts impulsively is more likely, for instance, to perform compulsive activities that can lead to an addiction.
Many people who display one or more of these traits may never suffer from an addiction, but the presence of one of these traits or a combination of them shows a vulnerability to addiction. For example, a sensation-seeker may be able to use drugs occasionally without becoming addicted because they are not impulsive and have supportive friendships. That is why a combination of these traits is the most indicative of an addictive personality.
If you feel that you or a loved one has an addictive personality, it is important to be aware of the situations that may cause you or another person to succumb to temptations that can have negative consequences. It is also important to understand that preventing addiction is completely possible.
If you are concerned about falling prey to addiction or you worry a loved one will, there are various sources you can look to for guidance. Treatment centers and therapists have worked with and helped many people with addictive personalities to live a fulfilling life and prevent addiction from ever occurring.
Even if you don't suffer from a substance abuse problem, it is not always easy to go about it by yourself. Struggling with an addictive personality is not something you have to do on your own, and having support is one of the best ways people successfully achieve the life they want, addiction-free.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, adolescence is a critical time for preventing substance abuse. When people move from elementary to middle school, they are confronted with new and challenging social and school-related situations. Children are often first exposed to substances like alcohol and tobacco during this time. When children then transition to high school, they may have greater availability of drugs and may participate in activities where drugs are used.
Adolescence is the time in a person's life when it is very important to fit in and feel accepted. Getting involved with drugs and alcohol may result from the desire to be liked. Other times of major transition are also when addiction is more likely to happen. For adults, it could be during college, while having to become financially independent, or at negative moments, such as during a divorce or the loss of a job.
If you struggle while dealing with life's stressors, reach out and making an appointment with a stress-management professional who can help you get through times of struggle without turning to drugs or alcohol. Also, seek out support in close friendships and participate in hobbies you enjoy. There are many great ways to manage stress and cope with frustrations or difficulties with emotionally supportive relationships and a full schedule of activities.
SAMHSA's system of treatments for those suffering from SUDs or addiction includes individual and group counseling, inpatient and residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospital programs, case or care management, medication, recovery support services, the 12-step fellowship, and peer supports. Addiction is a treatable condition, but out of the 22.5 million people suffering from addiction in 2014, only 4.2 million individuals received the treatment they needed. You don't have to live with addiction and you don't have to simply wait around for it to happen if you have an addictive personality.
Just because you may have an addictive personality doesn't mean addiction is an inevitability for you. You simply do not have to fall prey to addiction and allow substances or harmful activities to take control over your life. If you would like support to help you manage your addictive personality or learn more about treatments if you currently struggle with substance abuse, contact the friendly staff at RehabCenter.net today. We are more than happy to help you achieve the addiction-free life you deserve.

1992, R, 118 min. Directed by Michael Apted. Starring John Trudell, Chief Ted Thin Elk, Fred Ward, Graham Greene, Sam Shepard, Val Kilmer.
REVIEWED By Kathleen Maher, Fri., April 10, 1992
There's much that's interesting about Thunderheart, Apted's take on the period between 1971 and 1978 when AIM (the American Indian Movement) found itself in a war with that subversive organization, the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). Apted, the marvelous documentarist responsible for the 7 Up series, has also made a documentary about Leonard Peltier, the AIM leader unjustly convicted of murder, called Incident at Oglala and in the process has been caught up in a territorial scuffle with Oliver Stone who claimed ownership of Peltier and his story. There are elements of Peltier's story here as well as the Big Mountain issue in which Native American people are struggling with the American government over rights to the uranium on their land. Another member of AIM, John Trudell makes his film debut here playing a character in much the same fix as Peltier. Kilmer plays a Fed with Native American blood but no knowledge or experience of his heritage, who is sent to the reservation to appease the tribes disgusted with insensitive white federal agents and to apprehend Trudell. His partner is a tough, single-minded Fed played by Shepard. Kilmer's shaky credentials are a source of derision for most of the people on the reservation who call him the Washington redskin, but he's befriended by a reservation cop, Greene, a wry traditionalist on a motorcycle who figures Kilmer could do some good if he understood a little bit more about himself and his own history. The activists, here called ARM, are locked in a pitched battle with Fred Ward's army of goons, enforcers who, with the collusion of the Feds hold political power on the reservation by force. Apted manages to say a lot by cutting between the squalor of life on the reservation to the magnificence of the land around it. Unfortunately, when the characters speak for themselves, they are often forced to deliver lines that are unspeakable. There is an element of misty romanticism about Native Americans that Apted just doesn't manage to pull off. His yarn, however, is a good one even if it could be told a little better.

Night dreams are God's ways of revealing secrets or giving out important information to us, His creations. The secret to inform, instruct, warn and show you the future can be wrapped up in a dream! We saw lots of this in the old testament of the bible.
Many have been led astray by the devil through dreams. Many have been prepared by demons through dreams for a final attack on them by the devil. Many have embarked on needless fasting and prayer sessions as a result of a dream they had. Many have allowed fear in them causing untold hardships for them as a result of a dream they had.

On the 4th of July, my friend Jessica came for an overnight with her daughter Callie, Callie's fiancé Robert, and Callie and Robert's two daughters, Aiden (6) and Kenzi (2). I baked cherry pies for them. I decided it was time (overdue in fact) to use up the last of my Butler Ranch cherries that I preserved in 1997. I made pies with some of the 1997 cherries last year for the Cherryfest launch of Memories from Cherry Harvest, but I still had three jars left. Now I have only one left, having used the other two on the 4th.
I'm a foodie. I confess it. Please indulge me. I have to relate what we ate on the 4th. Ron and our buddy Calvin made Calvin's famous "Peterson's Chicken," which is chicken slathered in butter and garlic, doused in flaming white wine, and cooked fast and hot in a closed hibachi grill. Our friend Irma (who is Puerto Rican) made Arroz con Gandules (Rice with Pigeon Peas), the national dish of Puerto Rico; but she made it vegetarian so I could eat it. She put these huge Cuban olives in it that knocked my socks off. My friend Rani made excellent potato salad and coleslaw. We also had some green salad and an oversized old-fashioned sweet-and-cool seeded watermelon that Callie and Robert brought. Jessica arrived with an enormous zucchini she had grown in her garden and we sliced it up and marinated it in sesame oil, tamari, rice wine vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder and we BBQed it. Heaven. OK. Enough (well, never enough, huh?). Back to the cherry pie. (I rock a surprisingly awesome gluten-free pie crust made with brown rice flour, almond meal, flax seed meal, and organic palm oil shortening.)
As we ate our cherry pie, Jessica and I reflected on the fact that we were eating cherries that I had put up when Callie was ten years old. There we sat at the table eating these cherries with Callie's two little girls (Jessica's granddaughters). Callie passionately loved those Butler cherries as a child and she vividly remembers her many visits to the Ranch while growing up. Even though we no longer live in that magical place for her daughters to experience it, we have a different sort of magical home, full of toys and books, and Callie's daughters love to come here to play. And to eat cherry pie.
We tried to remember the first year Jessica brought her children to the Ranch. She said Sudi (my youngest) was a baby at the time. Since it had been over Labor Day Weekend, and we figured Sudi was about ten months old, it had to have been in 1992. Recollecting Sudi's age and our arrival at the Ranch prompted Ron to mention that Sudi was born at home at the Ranch and when we discovered that we had never (could not believe it) told Jessica and Callie the story of Sudi's frontier homebirth, we launched into the account. (That is a tale for another time.) Life is full of so many marvelous, improbably, and astounding stories.
Last night that baby Sudi, born at the Ranch nearly 22 years ago, performed as the headliner at a concert in Brooklyn. It was the first anniversary of Astro Nautico's Freecandy monthly concerts. Astro Nautico produced Sudi's LP You're There (released June 12, 2012, just days before the release of my novel). Click here to download You're There if you're interested (ambient beats).
Callie and Robert will be married on Sudi's 22nd birthday in October. Our beautiful children, grown into beautiful adults, raising children, performing original music. Callie now a parent of two beautiful children. Sudi now making a name for himself as a musician. The kids are alright. Sometimes I feel such overpowering awe as I witness the wheel of life cycling around.
Here is a photo of Ron with Kenzi in his lap and Aiden laughing maniacally after putting one
of the cat's mousie toys behind Ron's ear. Aiden is missing her front teeth at the moment.

We spent 1 night at Barncastle while on a 2-week vacation traveling the coast of Maine. It was perfect in every way. The ambience is comfortably elegant and the rooms are well appointed. We arrived after bicycling 35 miles from Searsport and thoroughly enjoyed checking in, refreshing and relaxing and then simply stepping downstairs for a drink at the outside bar before having dinner in the pub. It was a Tuesday evening and the staff was busy but friendly. Great drink selection (highly recommend a gin + tonic with the local Back River Gin ... served in a pint glass!) and delicious food. The only negative comment we would have is regarding the breakfast but because we're still glowing from everything else the 5 star rating sticks. As stated by another reviewer, the breakfast isn't in keeping with the dinner and the accommodations. We were with friends and all four of us agreed this night was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Barncastle!

3 Interior Design Rules That Shouldn't Be Ignored
Sometimes bending or breaking a rule can improve a situation, but when it comes to interior design there are 5 hard and fast rules that are important never to ignore!
1. Rugs Belong Under Furniture.
Yes, you do want to keep some flooring exposed, after all, if you didn't then it would just look like regular old carpet! Be sure that your carpet is large enough so that the front legs of each main piece of seating furniture land on it, otherwise you loose the design impact of the rug and it will end up looking messy.
2. The Higher You Hang the Curtains, the Better.
Contrary to popular belief, the higher your hang your curtain rod, the higher your ceilings will appear once the curtains are placed.
3. Dining Room Tables Belong Directly Under Light.
Chandelier? Light Fixture? Regardless of the type of type of overhead light in your dining room area, be sure to place your dining room table so that the overhead light is centered above it.

I admittedly didn't spend much time examining my Heisman ballot; there wasn't much need. But the vote for coach of the year? That was a far more difficult one to cast. I ultimately went with Penn State's Bill O'Brien, for obvious reasons, but Notre Dame's Brian Kelly, Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin and Stanford's David Shaw, among others, did outstanding jobs and merited serious thought.
Beyond that top tier, a number of coaches who didn't get voted as coach of the year even in their respective conferences did exemplary work. Here is a countdown of the most underrated coaching jobs in 2012.
10. Art Briles, Baylor Bears
On the surface, the 7-5 season is nothing special in the jumbled Big 12. But the Bears, replacing all sorts of offensive firepower from the breakout 2011 team, won four of five to complete the regular season and they were competitive in the one loss, a 42-34 defeat at Oklahoma. They were on the short list of hottest teams in America, with the blowout upset of then-No. 1 Kansas State headlining the resumee
<p.Briles is known for his wide-open attack, and it was often effective with Nick Florence, who took over for Robert Griffin III, but the running game is what led to a good deal of success in the final weeks. Baylor was 19th in the country in rushing, averaging 225 yards a game, and that was buoyed by the team going for 939 yards in the final three games -- against Kansas State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.
All that said, if Mike Gundy's Oklahoma State team had beaten Briles and the Bears in the season finale, it might have been Gundy in this space. What Gundy and offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who just took the head coaching job at Southern Miss, did with three inexperienced quarterbacks was impressive. However, when the Cowboys slipped a bit down the stretch, the Bears were on the way up.
9. Kyle Flood, Rutgers Scarlet Knights
We sort of broke our rule here, because Flood was named the Big East's co-coach of the year, with Louisville's Charlie Strong. But we believe his efforts still were undervalued, so we're including him.
Some coaches I recently spoke with thought the Knights might take a step or two back after Greg Schiano left to go to the NFL. The coaching peers told me there's typically skepticism whenever a coach is promoted to head coach from a line position (Flood was previously Rutgers' offensive line coach). In this case, the whispers of doubt quickly fell silent.
Robb Smith, previously the team's linebackers coach, gets a special nod in this section because the Knights often won with defense. They finished first in the Big East in scoring defense and second in total defense.
It sure seems as if Flood will continue what Schiano began, but it'll be interesting to see what happens once the program shifts to the Big Ten.
8. Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern Wildcats
Maybe it's just me, but it seems Northwestern quite possibly had the quietest nine-win season in the country.
Beyond the wins, consider the losses. The Wildcats' worst loss was 11 points at Penn State, and that was closer than the score demonstrates. The others? One point against Nebraska and in OT at Michigan. Not once in 2012 did a team beat the Wildcats with any degree of assurance it was clearly a better team.
One coach agreed with me that the decision to sometimes move quarterback Kain Colter to other positions in an effort to get the best players on the field was gutsy -- and also effective. Sometimes coaches are fearful when it comes to getting creative, but Fitzgerald often coaches with the same emotion with which he played. It's refreshing, especially in a league that sometimes needs some spice.
Fitzgerald, who has the program in its fifth consecutive bowl game, continues to win despite the tougher academic requirements in Evanston. Then again, being a former NU player probably helps him understand the environment well enough to identify prospects with the standards in mind.
7. Tim DeRuyter, Fresno State Bulldogs
Something that stuck out to me in reviewing Fresno's sterling 9-3 regular season was that the Bulldogs had only one 10-plus-win season in Pat Hill's 15 as coach. Just one. And DeRuyter, whom many coaches I know respected greatly as a defensive coordinator, can get there in just one year with a bowl victory against outmatched SMU.
Fresno is in a sense a difficult place to win, because it's difficult to draw high-end talent to that part of the state. At the same time, it's not the toughest place, because the academic standards are less stringent. Regardless of where that balance falls, DeRuyter inherited an excellent talent in quarterback Derek Carr, the younger brother of former Fresno star David Carr. After 36 TDs and five picks, Carr appears NFL-ready even if he has indicated he might stay for his senior season.
Beyond Carr, the same sort of question extends to DeRuyter. How long can Fresno keep him? He seems to have far more earmarks as an up-and-comer, compared to Hill, who was content to stay and help the program build over time. The 2012 season, the immediate turnaround to go from four wins to perhaps double digits, was impressive regardless of what the future holds.
6. Steve Spurrier, South Carolina Gamecocks
With a bowl win against Michigan (the Gamecocks are five-point favorites), South Carolina would win 11 games for the second consecutive year after the program won no more than 10 in 100-plus years of playing the sport. Let that sink in for a moment.
The Gamecocks did it last season and are on the verge of repeating it without their best offensive player, Marcus Lattimore, who tore knee ligaments at midseason in 2011 and 2012. Just as I said a year ago, give Spurrier credit for adapting. He's still involved in offensive play calling, obviously, but his willingness to go toward a zone-read system has allowed for more consistency because his Fun 'n' Gun from the Florida days was looking more and more dated.
Additionally, the defense really didn't miss much of a beat after the previous coordinator, Ellis Johnson, left for Southern Miss. Lorenzo Ward deftly handled the unit, which was aided greatly by the expected breakout of defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (13 sacks).
Fans are still crowing, too, about defeating rival Clemson for the fourth straight time, something that hadn't happened since 1951-54. Relatively speaking -- the program still has just one conference title -- Spurrier has ushered in a golden age for South Carolina football.
5. Jim Mora, UCLA Bruins
Mora was among the last hires in the last rotation of the coaching carousel, and that forced some last December to doubt whether he was the correct choice. He didn't have any college experience, so there was nothing to suggest he was anything other than a placeholder in the eyes of critics.
And now? I have an editor who is insistent in comparing him to Pete Carroll, who likewise went from a middling pro-coaching career with experience as a defensive coordinator to a stellar college record (only to retreat back to the NFL; we'll see on that part).
Here's what I know: When I visited the Rose Bowl in May for UCLA's spring game, I noticed a departure in negative energy, especially for the team's previously bogged-down offense.
Those feelings transitioned to the season, too. The Bruins finished fourth in the Pac-12 -- just ahead of USC -- in scoring offense; that's serious progress. They might have a 2013 Heisman contender in quarterback Brett Hundley.
Energy has been boosted in Westwood; UCLA was just a win against Stanford from a return to the BCS. The Bruins were in the Pac-12 title game in 2011, too, but that was laughable; this time felt a lot different. It felt legitimate.
4. Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss Rebels
The Rebels had won just one SEC game in the two seasons prior to Freeze's arrival, and they responded by winning three in Freeze's first year in Oxford.
All right, so it's not as if beating bad Auburn, bad Arkansas and so-so Mississippi State are anything to really brag about, but you've got to start somewhere if you're Ole Miss. Previously, it was wins over Ole Miss that didn't count for much. Plus, the Rebs played to the horn with Texas A&M, LSU and eight-win Vandy. Being close, the moral victories tacked onto the actual ones, is something palatable after going 2-10 in 2011. It's progress.
How'd Freeze, someone perhaps previously best known for being the high school coach in "The Blind Side," do it? Fellow coaches told me this month that it was an attitude and system change. Nick Saban might not like up-tempo offenses, but young players do. The Rebels bought in early, and Freeze took advantage of the speed his team did possess. If Ole Miss lands the type of recruiting class it thinks it will, the program could take another step in the not-too-distant future.
3. Mike Riley, Oregon State Beavers
Riley created some early-season COY buzz, and he still merits credit for taking a 3-9 team in 2011, which had him in some hot-seat list discussions, to a 9-3 season in 2012. The seat is hot no more for Riley, who was rumored last week to be a subject of interest to Wisconsin, a team that lost early in the season in Corvallis.
Also note that Riley and his staff had to deal with the midseason injury to quarterback and NFL prospect Sean Mannion, though that led to some back-and-forth between Mannion and Cody Vaz once Mannion was again healthy.
Still, this was perhaps the second-most physical Pac-12 team and defense, in particular, to Stanford, the league champ. In fact, the Beavers were second only to the Cardinal in the Pac-12 in terms of scoring defense (19.8 points a game). Sophomore end Scott Crichton, who had 9.0 sacks, was a tone-setter.
I remember Riley most this season for his ability to keep things light, like when he took the team to In-N-Out after the win at UCLA. It reminded me of postgame food stops on the bus in high school. Sometimes it's nice to see that somewhere the game still looks like a game. That's easier said than done when guys are sometimes coaching for their livelihoods under intense pressure, as Riley probably felt he was, heading into this season.
2. James Franklin, Vanderbilt Commodores
I still recall when Franklin strode confidently into our ESPN.com room in July at SEC Media Days. He knew that taking Vandy to a bowl game in his first season demonstrated that he was onto something at a place where winning isn't exactly the norm.
That said, he said it, and so did quarterback Jordan Rodgers, Aaron's younger brother: It was just another losing season for the Commodores, who dropped the bowl game and finished 6-7, despite some measurable success. Well, I'm curious to see Franklin's energy next July, when he walks into the room after an eight-win season that could go to nine if the 'Dores defeat N.C. State in the home-held Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl.
Coaches I spoke with recently were split on Franklin. Some believe it's a smoke-and-mirrors job, the product of an OK team beating bad teams. But some -- more, I'd say -- are legitimately impressed because of the difficulty of the job itself; 8-4 for an academically inclined program in the SEC? Are you serious?
Who cares how you get to eight wins, right? That's impressive. And it earned Franklin a raise.
A new goal for Vandy in 2013: Get invited to a bowl game outside the Volunteer State's borders.
1. Urban Meyer, Ohio State Buckeyes
We seem to forget they just went 12-0. Regardless of the NCAA restrictions, which perhaps could alter the sense of pressure, that's quite an accomplishment for a coach who just arrived on the scene.
But, you know, maybe this isn't altogether surprising. We knew, after all, that 2013 Heisman hopeful Braxton Miller was a custom fit for Meyer's offense.
What's most credit-worthy: Ohio State held together for 12 consecutive games. Did the team have some close games? Sure did -- seven by a touchdown or less. But credit the Bucks for winning, regardless of the style. Only two teams managed that, and in similar fashions, actually: Slop it up, find a way.
What does Meyer's first year and the undefeated season mean, really? Ohio State already figured to do well for its 2013 class. Think 12-0 will hurt? It's currently fifth, according to our RecruitingNation folks, behind only Florida, USC, Notre Dame and Alabama. The Buckeyes appear to be back, as if 12-0 implied anything less. But we'll know for sure next fall.

cut-e to Present Three Sessions at SIOP 2016
Feb 25, 2016, 09:00 ET from cut-e
LONDON, February 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Experts from cut-e, the international assessment specialist, will present three sessions at the SIOP 2016 Conference (14-16 April, Anaheim, California).
The 31st annual conference of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology will highlight the latest developments in psychological research, theory and practice. The three-day event will include symposia, roundtables, panel discussions, 'poster' sessions, debates and master tutorials.
cut-e will present two papers in 50-minute 'poster' sessions. In these sessions, the speakers display key excerpts from their papers on large boards and they interact with the audience and discuss their research findings:
Dr Achim Preuss, Managing Director of cut-e, will present Detecting who is going to cause problems (Thursday 14 April, 12 noon-1.00pm in Ballroom A-E). The background to this paper is that employers typically screen job applicants for factors that predict job success. This session will explore how organizations can gain a more rounded picture of their candidates by predicting whether individuals will be susceptible to counterproductive work behavior, such as absence, fraud and recklessness.
Dr Katharina Lochner, cut-e's Research Director, will then present Detecting who is going to innovate (Saturday 16 April, 12 noon-1.00pm, Ballroom A-E). This session will explore how employers can now identify creative candidates in the selection process using a fully-automated scoring procedure.
Dr Lochner will also present in a symposium/forum session on the cross-cultural implications of using personality, integrity and emotional agility assessments (Friday 15 April, 10.30am-12 noon, Room 207 D). This session will examine the challenges of using self-report questionnaires, including the impact of socio-cultural factors such as a candidate's language ability, their cultural values and how they interpret concepts. Dr Lochner will highlight the implications of intercultural differences in integrity scores.
"We're very honored to have been selected to present three sessions at this prestigious conference," said Andreas Lohff, Director of cut-e. "This event is a chance for the world's industrial and organizational psychologists to meet and discuss current issues and emerging trends in the workplace. Our sessions will present new thinking around selecting the right candidates and recruiting internationally."
The SIOP 2016 Conference will be held at the Hilton Anaheim hotel and the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on 14-16 April. Register online at http://www.siop.org/conferences/16con/.

My local TRU outlet was the provider.Sorry for the iPotato pics, I should invest in a nice camera.One of the most controversial 911s as being the "runny egg" headlight model and the first water cooled model, among other things.The interior is well detailed for a model at this price point. The red seatbelt release buttons are a lovely touch.Droopy runnies and front bumper are from the 996 Turbo model on this 996 C4S.I have always thought that this was a strikingly gorgeous car, with the aggressive Turbo front and the clean looking spoilerless rear.The frunk! These headlights might be some of my all time favs when it comes to the beloved Neunelfer.Engine isn't spectacular but certainly good for the price of admission.Another amazing touch is the full working suspension, one of my favorite aspects of these 1:18s.Detailed base gives you the full impression of a rear engined automobile. Horizontally-opposed six FTW!The cases have changed since the nineties, and while a bit awkward it isn't altogether unpleasant.The box as it sits.On a sidenote, I finished the Matchbox Best Of The World series with final car, the Dodge A-100!

Thomson, Britain's biggest chain of high-street travel agents, is to start selling houses alongside holidays. Beginning this week, the firm's 750 shops will sell properties in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus. Bosses admit that such diversification is needed in order to 'survive' in an increasingly competitive market.
'The shape of the travel industry has changed massively over the last few years,' said Miles Morgan, Thomson's marketing director. 'Thanks to the growth of low-cost travel, television programmes about living abroad and people looking to invest in property rather than pensions, owning a home abroad is now a realistic option. To survive in today's very competitive market, travel agents need to broaden what they sell. This is a natural step for us.'
The holiday homes start at around £65,000, with an average price of £120,000. The move is the result of an alliance with Parador Properties, already a leading specialist. Thomson claims it is a first in this country, and hopes the tie-up will see it go on to become Britain's biggest overseas property retailer. If successful it will offer holiday homes in many other areas, starting with the Canary Islands.
The company's research found that 55 per cent of the British population wanted to buy a home abroad.

The LA Times asked TV stars what they're watching this summer, and for some reason people are making fun of Kristen Bell for saying this totally correct thing:
"No. 1, and I'm being honest: You will not be disappointed if you watch any of 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' It without fail puts me in a good mood. They are on Season 17 or something. I particularly recommend the animal extravaganzas episodes. I have all the seasons on DVD -- not all 17 years but a couple of seasons."
1. That show, which is called "AFV" now, is actually in fact one of the best shows on TV, though it gets far less credit and attention these days than it deserves. "AFV" was the proto-YouTube, and continues to be the most relaxing/amusing hour on TV. So many of the most popular YouTube videos originated on "AFV," for god's sakes. Would you have ever seen "Charlie Bit My Finger" without "AFV," for example? No, you wouldn't have. Charlie's parents sent that tape in to "AFV" and that's how anyone ever saw it.
2. We need to keep a better eye on Kristen Bell, because between this "admission" and her extremely early adoption of the cult bad movie phenomenon that is "The Room," she might just be one of Hollywood's biggest arbiters of good taste. So from now on, if Kristen Bell likes it, it's probably pretty cool.


text: So I've had my Eris for about 5 or 6 month and I have never had so many problems with a phone in my life. There are multiple problems I am having. 1. My phone is ridiculously slow and freezes easily. 2. I'm getting pretty sick and tired or my phone doing whatever it wants, whenever it wants to. For instant, my Eris has learned to resend texts. It will, at any given time, for any given reason, resend old messages that are in my outbox. 3. Sometimes my alarm will wake me up for work, and sometimes, it just doesn't. I have been into the Verizon store multiple times, and have been given advice on how to make it run faster. I have downloaded the task killer and use it a million times a day. It helps a little, but only with the speed issues. PLEASE...IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVISE LET ME KNOW. I would love nothing more than to throw it at the wall, but I know it won't help. All I want is a phone that will work when I want it to, and go at a decent speed. For the amount of money I paid for this phone, I expected to get a good phone, but....all I got was a really expensive phone with the speed of a phone I had 10 years ago. SUPER ANNOYING.
