10-8-12 Rhouston998: The only way Iraq can move forward is to institute a power sharing government, just like they agreed to long ago. You can't blame Maliki's opposition for being upset. He's broken every promise he's made and keeps stringing them along like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit that's always just out of reach.
The only reason he escaped being questioned before Parliament, removed from office and charged with crimes was because he promised to do what was asked with him. He has yet to comply and time is up. Without immediate implementation of the Erbil agreement his opposition will be going in another direction once again which does not include a compromise.

This article from this morning sums it up pretty good. "Erbil or Withdraw of Confidence: Iraq Deputy says back to withdraw confidence from Maliki to resolve the unresolved political differences. Put the terms of the Erbil agreement within the National Meeting will help to make it in the presence of the leaders of the first line.
The political blocs will return to the paper to withdraw confidence from the Maliki that unresolved disputes. Any dispute must be resolved through dialogue and sit at the same table so as continued by President Jalal Talabani, dialogues and convergence of views, there will be a glimmer of hope to resolve differences. The loss of trust between political parties last of the National Meeting. The core dispute between the blocks is the terms of Erbil."

10-8-12 Sandstorm: It is clear they are speaking about the market rate. 1.18 and 1.19 is a decimal in place of a comma. They are referring to a market rate of 1180 and 1190. The fact gurus think this is a rv, is really ignorant. it shows they know nothing about the dinar or how the CBI controls the rate at market.
I've been explaining this for a week, since they told us they would bring the dinar on par with the dollar in the coming days. I'm really out of breath on the issue. It all started with the cbi telling us this a week ago. They tell us they are working on the market rate in the next few days by increasing auctions.
"Prompting the CBI to increase supply in the currency auction. added: that the success of actions the central bank to reduce dollar against the dinar would make dollar equals Iraqi dinar per the next few days." And here we see the lifting of restriction as auction led to the market rate to 1190.
"Central bank: we catch the exchange rate at 1190 dinars to the dollar. The Iraqi dinar exchange rate has witnessed volatile noticeable against the dollar earlier, reaching its price to 1300 dinars to the dollar, while the price under auctions CBI daily 1166 dinars to the dollar, an increase of 134 dinars per dollar, which is equivalent to an increase of approximately 11% for its official rate.
" You can clearly see the market rate at 1,198 on Oct 2. That is represented by 1.19. THE MARKET RATE HAS NOT BEEN BELOW 1200 IN OVER A YEAR
10-8-12 Gregp: It looks like more people are trusting the banking system. This is good. "CBI soon will run telephone banking service. Saleh said the proportion of dealers with low banks in the original where it's at the {10% to 13%} and subject to the policies of the banking institution and the culture of the community. This percentage actually increased from a million and a quarter of a million to 4 million bank account based on the increase in population and activity the government and private banking.
There are efforts to increase this percentage to 4 times the introduction of technology and service is running phone banks where {80%} of Iraqis have mobile phone and can be turned Mobile to the bank in the process of push and pull, and others. The new project is easier to deal technological and will see the light soon and will be published at the level of the whole country."

10-8-12 Mountainman: Erbil agreement audio recording. Iraqi List deputy said, "We want to be a paper of the Erbil in the paper points political reforms. There is a response by the political blocs on the National Conference. According to some statements members of the National Alliance, we find that they have the intention to resolve the political crisis. There are some response by the Iraqi List, by inviting the political blocs to speed up the move to resolve the outstanding issues. Point of contention between the Iraqi National Alliance, is the need to include a paper reforms, the terms of Arbil."

Jul 21, 2011Overall, there's less headbanging potential here than on their finest moment – 2001's Grammy-winning song Boss of Me from Malcolm in the Middle – but it doesn't matter. This is still a brilliant summer listen.
Jul 15, 2011Their wit keeps maturing, but TMBG's gentle weirdness is forever young.
Jul 18, 2011The songs are novel in both conception and execution, and the band seems aware of the novelty, aware that two to three minutes is just the right length, that quirky and irreverent work best when the song ends before you want it to.
Jul 19, 2011Besides the band's signature quirky lyrics, Join Us also retains its well-known staccato guitar and keyboard interplay as well as a tendency for crazy-quilt arrangements.
Jul 21, 2011It's a solid, summery album that more than delivers on the tunes, and the LOLs, and you can't really ask for more than that.
Jul 21, 2011It's this quality that makes the album not just an easy recommendation for listeners old and new, but one of their most fun, accessible, and solid albums since Factory Showroom.
Q MagazineAug 16, 2011The trouble is, for all its inventive wordplay and expert pastiches, Join Us swiftly becomes the musical equivalent of that witty, but rather-too-clever male party guest who always ends up going home alone. [Sept. 2011, p. 119]

ThisThis album from TMBG for me, is the perfect mixture in the 2 johns creativity style. the perfect balance of quirky, and great songs. This album had some lousy songs on it, but its completely outweighed by the good songs, like: cant keep johnny down, you probobly get that alot, old pin box, canahjore, celebration, never knew love, let your hair hang down, when will you die, judy is your vietnam, and the awesome duet, spoiler alert. Like i mentioned before, theres a few songs that are duds, but songs like lady and the tiger, and cloisonne, are quirky and fun, and dont feel forced. This is a good return for TMBG, i honestly really dont like the childrens albums, ofcourse im not a child either, but they just sound so... weird. This is by far TMBG best album in the last decade, its one of my favorite tmbg abums, and hopefully their new albums in the future will have the same innovation and polish as this one.

I'm a long time fan who took a break a few albums back, only to return. A "9" or "10" would be reserved for TMBG's seminal albums -- the ones that stumbled their way into pop culture ... like "Flood" or some of their children's album work. For me this album was a "7.5" -- fun, well-made, though not at the top of their best album list.
Of course, no band can make every album their "best album." U2 only has one Achtung Baby, and even Bono acknowledges this. I liked "Join Us," and I'm glad I bought it. And I'm glad TMBG is still making music.… Expand

I have not purchased every albums as much as collected them because I've been a fan since they hit the scene in the mid-80's. After a few off years and one previous album that only had two songs worth listening to (which is painful to say about The Else being such a fan - but honesty here...), Join Us got the band back on track with a full album of music that is all worth listening to. Voices sound a little strained at times, but not to detrimental effect with a band that creates so many strange and humorous voices. The presence of dark lyrics among the weird and bouncy music is always welcome and something TMGB has been good at many times over many albums. "When Will You Die" may be the most directly dark song lyrically they have ever produced and the bitter streak in me loves it. Fans who may have strayed can come back and "Join Us" without worry. TMBG are definitely back in form.… Expand

Microsoft Office 2010 Picture Manager - Auto Correct
The auto correct feature doesn't seem to work on scanned documents.
I often scan documents and save them as .jpg.
Sometimes I scan a document (a bill or invoice or text) that has light text that's barely readable. I use the auto correct feature to darken the text and then save the adjusted document.
What I noticed today was that after I hit auto correct and the text darkens, when I hit save the text goes back the way it was.
Here's the kicker.
That happens with documents that I have scanned with my new Canoscan 9000F Mark II.
When I pull up documents that I scanned with my 5 year old Canoscan 8800F (an earlier generation of the same machine) the auto correct works the way it's supposed to.
Canon tech support is clueless and blames Office Picture Manager, of course.
Any ideas?

TOWAMENCIN >> Saturday night's 12-5 loss to Cumberland Valley in the State Final may have brought North Penn's season to a close, but the contest may wind up being just a stop on the road to a championship for the Knights.
With a young nucleus that includes freshman Sean Faikish, chosen as the state's Rookie of the Year, with coach Jason Grubb at the helm — Grubb earned Co-Coach of the Year honors along with CV's Corey Pelow, and with leaders like First-Team All-Stater Derek Friday, the future looks pretty sturdy.
"These guys behind me — they're my family. They're not just my teammates," Friday said after the state tournament wrapped up Saturday evening in front of a packed, raucous crowd at the Rick Carroll Natatorium. "It was great to play every single second in that game. It's just another one for the books."
Friday, a junior for the Knights, helped NP reach the state final on the strength of an 8-6 victory over North Allegheny on Friday and a 15-10 win over Cathedral Prep in the semifinals on Saturday. His play was so consistent that he earned First-Team All-State honors, adding a pair of goals in the state final against unbeaten Cumberland Valley.
Friday helped young NP get a little something going in the third quarter, as he and Matt Franco came up with back-to-back goals, bringing the North Penn fans to their feet.
"We felt pretty nice there," Friday said.
To their credit, senior-loaded CV pulled away, led by Jacob Deckman's five-goal effort. The Eagles, capturing their second straight crown, jumped out to a 7-0 lead but from there the Knights played them even, goal-for-goal, the rest of the way.
Junior Ryan Hartmann and senior Nico Kountroubis added scores for the Knights.
"They're the best guys I've ever played with in my life," Friday said of the team, which return the bulk of its roster next season. "It felt pretty nice, making it to the state final game. What more can you ask for, right? It was a great year. I couldn't ask for anything else."
It was a season in which the Knights racked up a 29-5 record and earned state runner-up honors for the third straight year. And there could be better things to come.
Said Friday of his all-state selection: "I'm proud of what I did and ready to come back next year and do it again."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Origins Available: English, Irish
Anglo-Saxon name Breend comes from when the family resided in Staffordshire.
Breend Early Origins
Staffordshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
Breend Spelling Variations
Breend Spelling Variations
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Breend has been recorded under many different variations, including Brend, Brende, Brennde, Breand, Breande and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Breend or a variant listed above: William Brend who arrived in Boston in 1657 and William Brend in America in 1664.

The last living legends of the early years of human space flight in the Cold War met in a rare encounter on Monday to laud the achievement of Yuri Gagarin 50 years after his historic voyage into space.
The gathering at the Cosmonautics Museum in the Russian capital to celebrate the anniversary of Gagarin's April 12, 1961, mission brought together luminaries including Alexei Leonov, the first man to walk in space and a colleague of Gagarin.
Also present was Thomas Stafford, commander of the first joint space mission between the United States and the Soviet Union known as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project; Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space; and China's first spaceman Yang Liwei.
They heaped praise on Russia's space programme as they honoured the memory of the world's first human in space.
"Without our spacecraft no one will go anywhere," Leonov proudly told reporters.
Russia's Soyuz craft will later this year become the sole means for taking humans to the ISS when NASA takes its shuttles out of service, leaving the United States to rely on Russia.
Leonov, 76, was among Russian and Soviet-era cosmonauts and pioneering space travellers from other countries as well as some 40 heads and representatives of foreign space agencies invited for the festivities.
Squeezed into the small museum located in the obelisk topped with a rocket blasting into space, the veteran astronauts reminisced about past missions among artefacts of Soviet space history including bulky models of Soviet-era spaceships and the stuffed carcasses of dogs that travelled to space.
The Kremlin is celebrating Gagarin's trailblazing flight with great fanfare, and many at Monday's celebrations spoke in glowing terms both about Russia's past achievements and future prospects despite a string of recent setbacks hitting its space programme.
Tereshkova, a Soviet-era textile worker who became the first woman in space, gushed about Russia's next steps in space.
"The moon, the lunar programme, Mars are ahead," the 74-year-old told AFP. "This is realistic."
The Russian space programme has suffered dwindling funds in the post-Soviet era.
The country still rents its main launchpad at Baikonur from Kazakhstan, but this year it begins construction of its own spaceport to be located in the Far East region of Amur near China.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said earlier this month that after a lengthy break the country plans to return to interplanetary research.
Some high-profile guests warned however that it was too easy to slip into complacency.
"Many of our current achievements rely on the achievements of the past years," Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev told reporters. "Maybe there's some sort of contentment.
"As a professional working in this industry, I would of course want them to invest a bit more, develop a bit more, build a bit more," he said.
Sending the first man into space -- the Soviet Union's greatest Cold War propaganda victory over the United States -- and launching the first Sputnik satellite four years earlier are among key triumphs of the Soviet space programme.
But the country's modern space programme has been dogged by a series of setbacks and the head of the space agency, Anatoly Perminov, may be shown the door as soon as his foreign space guests return home.
In December, the country suffered one of its most embarrassing space mishaps of recent years when three navigation satellites crashed into the ocean after launch, and the most recent launch for the ISS was delayed by a week due to a technical problem.
The 80-year-old Stafford commended Russians for "persevering", noting that space rivalry was a thing of the past and urging close international cooperation.
"I do not see a space race," he said. "I see cooperation. There's lots of plans, lots of ideas."

Corporate Enterprise Development Investment - Thuso ea likhoebo tse kholo kholisong ea tse nyane
In many countries, large corporates put aside certain funds for corporate social investment (CSI), which is one way they (corporate) plough back to society. This is done through handouts such as food, clothing etc, which are not sustainable nor do they promote real investment on the side of the corporate. Therefore, BEDCO crafted the Corporate Enterprise Development Investment Programme which is intended to tap on the CSI funds of large corporates for the benefit of micro, small and medium enterprises.

Lux Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I like Lux a bit, and my friend just started playing LOL and plays her so I thought I'd build a guide. Ps my first guide and not too detailed.
For both lanes You want to level your q first just for the sake of being able to escape an early gank or laying on some damage early. After this it varies. On mid always max out e as soon as you can, but as the support it depends on your adc. If the ADC seems to be good then you can level your e and go for a kill lane, but if he gets in trouble or you find him having bad positioning you may want to focus leveling your w.
Runes are the same either way. AP = damage.
Support Masteries obviously want to change for the support role into a more diverse setup, mana regen gold per 5 and extra ward help quite a bit early game if you know how to use them.
Extra gold. Try to auto attack the enemy champs as much as possible for Gold. this mastery setup also gives you an extra potion at the beginning due to the +40 gold, plus the 1 minute ward.
The one minute ward: place it at around 2:00 minutes.(if you are blue team) if they dont gank by 3 minutes it will probably be safe to wait until around 4 min 30 sec to use the normal ward you bought. If you're purple team, you can expect a gank after the jungler does red. Since they usually start blue this should be around 3:30 so make sure your normal ward is there in place before that. In this case the one mite ward can be used in tri bush or the bushes near the wall if the enemy is hassling you from them. *** if they have a jungler that can start red or you notice bot lane is missing right off the bat, then go place your one minute ward in river immediately and expect that early gank.
This Mid build gives you 24 sec Ult CD and lots of mana. Sit outside base and poke away with High Damage. Same thing for Support build but some more early gold and longer until you can Pwn people. plus wards are needed so buy them often.
Kages gives you some early Gold. If you find yourself home with 1600 build at 1st back skip the build and get Rabadons first, if not go through the build order. If you find yourself behind then you can go with Skipping Rabadons until late. the only trick in this is not to buy two Fiendish Codex at the same time. Unique Passives that don't stack.
Top:Same Basic build! Rabadons definitely last though. Probably wont make it too it. Also buy lots of Sight Wards, or if you want you can get A sightstone before finishing boots.
I personally choose Teleport over the traditional ignite. a wild lux appears.....Shield to save yur teammate q to snare and ult to finish them off can turn an enemy gank into a suicide and even pick up a double. use it wisely you only get it once every few minutes. Also if you cant get the enemy running away with your ult than you have some issues, no need for ignite. Time your combo for the right amount of damage. and use your passive.
Pros / Cons
High damage and Low Cool Downs. Great team help with shields well places. Ult gets enemies who are running away, and a cc snare/slow combo.
Weak against anyone who is highly mobile, like kass, diana fizz kat or akali. they all murder you.
shes not hot :(


text: Avalanche resistant Geosynthetics such as TenCate Rock® PEC and TenCate Miragrid demonstrate their value when it comes to the building and service life of structures offering protection against snow and rock avalanches. They are an alternative to conventional building materials that is both environmentally friendly and economically attractive. Floods, mudslides, and snow and rock avalanches generating immense forces can occur in mountainous areas. A snow avalanche can reach speeds of up to 250 km an hour, while a rock avalanche can register even 300 km an hour. A barrier can be erected against avalanches by installing reinforced retaining walls and slopes (mechanically stabilized earth). Site conditions impose specific demands on the design, the choice of material and the building of such constructions. Traditional solutions with only stone or concrete are economically unviable as the costs of both construction and the transport of building materials in poorly accessible terrain are high. The application of geosynthetics is an attractive solution. At Ísafjörður (Iceland) an avalanche barrier has been built that is 14 metres high and 330 metres long. The system consists of a galvanised steel formwork, TenCate Polyfelt® TS geotextile to separate the fill from the slope and the stone front, and three grades of TenCate Miragrid GX for soil reinforcement. The fill material is composed of locally sourced gravel and small stones, which originate from the mountain itself and are ground on site – thus saving transport costs. TenCate Polyslope® S is a tried and tested system. It consists of geosynthetics for reinforcement (TenCate Rock® PEC or TenCate Miragrid), a pre-formed steel grid, TenCate Polyfelt® Green erosion protection and locally available sand as fill material. In this way, a green vegetated bank with a natural appearance is quickly created. Avalanche barriers based on geosynthetics can also be found in Austria at Mühlau, Eiblschrofen, Lanersbach and Kappl (picture). A barrier 650 metres long and a maximum of 26.5 metres high has been built with geosynthetics halfway up the slope from Diasbach at Kappl, involving 285,000 m² of TenCate Polyslope®. When designing a wall at Lanersbach (Tyrol) to deflect avalanches, it was decided to fully integrate this in the surrounding landscape. Lanersbach is located at a height of 1,350 metres in the Ziller Valley. This is one of the largest nature reserves in Austria, which is why the authorities insisted that the wall be covered with vegetation.

Samsung Electronics (KRX:005930) of South Korea has surprised everyone by predicting a 50 percent jump in their operating profits for the fourth quarter in spite of the Note 7 fiasco. The multinational electronics business made a regulatory filing, according to which, the operating profit between October and December 2016 will be 9.2 trillion won or $7.8 billion. In 2015, in the same quarter, it was just 6.14 trillion.
Not just that, if the filed forecast proves to be accurate in the end, then it would be the highest profit figure of Samsung in three years, which is remarkable considering what the business has been going through over the last few months.
The Galaxy Note 7 and Washing Machine Debacle
Consumers started to report last September that Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 smartphone was catching fire and exploding. They had to call back the offending handsets, but that didn't stop the inflow of complaints. Airline companies around the world banned the device as it was a security risk. Eventually, Samsung had to recall all the devices, and stop its production, thus causing serious revenue loss. To make matters worse, Samsung's washing machines began exploding as well.
In fact, they even reported that the Note 7 recall can hit their profits by as much as $2.1 billion. This is why it is so remarkable that in spite of these losses, Samsung was able to report a profit that is the highest in the last three years.
Not surprisingly, this has surprised most analysts. Most forecasts were around 8.2 trillion won, which is 1 trillion won less than what the business filed.
Investors naturally reacted positively to this news. The Samsung (KRX:005930) stock went up by more than 2 percent in Friday's morning trade. It was still trading at 1.91 percent higher by mid-morning.
How Samsung Could Report Such Impressive Figures
Most of the company's profits are coming from the components business that provides display panels and memory chips to many businesses, including smartphone makers like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). High demand from China and supply shortages means Samsung was able to sell those more, bringing in higher profits. The Korean won's sharp depreciation, and the prices of memory chips going up also contributed.
The mobile business, by contrast, is still not in good shape. The company has booked a massive operating profit decline of 96 percent over last year. Samsung's financial health will be much better next year if they can somehow turn around their mobile business.

Controversial rugby league identity John Hopoate has revealed that the NRL asked him to complete a coaching course despite being banned from the game.
The 42-year-old was on the sidelines for the side's season-opening 42-18 loss to Newcastle last weekend, much to the chagrin of the NRL, who immediately hauled club officials to league central and threatened them with a $30,000 fine and a loss of competition points.
The former Manly and Wests Tigers player was refused registration by the NRL last year after he wasn't deemed a fit and proper person to be involved in the game, accusations that Hopoate hit back at via social media.
"The NRL handpick me to do a high performance course in Nov so I can coach 1st grade yet turn around and say you can't coach," he wrote on Facebook.
"It's alright for them to take the $400 off me to pay for the course but now it's not ok for me to coach.
"It's like giving me a driver's licence and then saying 'sorry you can't drive'."
The governing body consider Hopoate unfit to be involved in any official capacity with the game after receiving intelligence from NSW police detective Wayne Wolpole on the former player being linked to organised crime figures.
It's an association that has already resulted in him already being prohibited from The Star casino in Sydney, a stance that Hopoate also took exception to.
"Never go to the casino and yet get barred. Tried to ask why when I don't go there and they said 'don't have to tell you why'," Hopoate posted.
"Looks like they just pull your name out of a hat … what a load of crap especially when you never go to the place."
Despite Hopoate's protests, the Sea Eagles are still expected to stand him down from any official capacity as the start of the NRL season begins in a fortnight.
"No matter what coaching qualifications there are, if you're not fit and proper, then we can't register (him)," said an NRL spokesperson.
"We received advice from the organised crime squad and that makes it very difficult. That's information we can't ignore when determining whether to register him."

Gilded cage
To be like "a bird in a gilded cage" is to live in luxury but without freedom: "Because the movie star could not go out without being recognized and pursued, she stayed in her penthouse, living like a bird in a gilded cage."
The encumbrances or limitations that often accompany material wealth, as in She had furs, jewelry, whatever money could buy, but was trapped in a gilded cage. This metaphoric expression indicating that riches cannot buy happiness was popularized (and possibly coined) in a song, "A Bird in a Gilded Cage" (1990; lyrics by Arthur J. Lamb, music by Harry von Tilzer), about a young girl marrying for wealth instead of love and paying for luxury with a life of regret.

Acura has recently revealed the 2013 ILX Sedan during the Chicago Auto Show, which is coming with some interesting new features along with a hybrid powertrain.
According to the car manufacturer, the 2013 Acura ILX Sedan is also available with a hybrid powertrain too, which is improving both economy and performance but it's more orientated into the first. Acura says that the ILX Sedan with the 2013 model year on it in the hybrid version is powered by the same 1.5 liter unit as the standard vehicle, which is now helped by the Integrated Motor Assist electric hybrid power train, generating a total output of 111 horsepower and a peak torque of 127 lb-ft (172 Nm). The model is returning an average 35 mpg in city and 38 mpg on highway.
"First-time luxury buyers tend to place a high value on exterior styling, affordability and environmental issues, and that's what we have created with the new Acura ILX. The strategy behind this new model is to position ILX as the first opportunity for many young buyers to enter the luxury market", said the head of the Acura Design Studio, Jon Ikeda.
Besides the hybrid powertrain, the 2013 Acura ILX Sedan is also coming with a choice of three engines, starting with the entry-level 2.0 liter four-cylinder unit which is coming with 150 HP and 190 Nm of torque (140 lb-ft), and ending with the 2.4 liter developing 201 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque (170 lb-ft). The fuel economy for the first one is 24/32 mpg, while the second one is returning 20/29 mpg (city/highway).

This brilliant epic novel set in New York and Prague introduces us to two misfit young men who make it big by creating comic-book superheroes. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdiniesque escape, has just smuggled himself out of Nazi-invaded Prague and landed in New York City. His Brooklyn cousin Sammy Clay is looking for a partner to create heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit America the comic book. Inspired by their own fears and dreams, Kavalier and Clay create the Escapists, The Monitor, and Luna Moth, inspired by the beautiful Rosa Saks, who will become linked by powerful ties to both men.
This epic novel about the glory years of the American comic book (1939-1954) fulfills all the promise of Chabon's two earlier novels (The Mysteries of Pittsburgh; Wonder Boys) and two collections of short stories (A Model World; Werewolves in Their Youth), and nearly equals them all together in number of pages. Chabon's prodigious gifts for language, humor and wonderment come to full maturity in this fictional history of the legendary partnership between Sammy Klayman and Josef Kavalier, cousins and creators of the prewar masked comic book hero, the Escapist. Sammy is a gifted inventor of characters and situations who dreams "the usual Brooklyn dreams of flight and transformation and escape." His contribution to the superhero's alter ego, Tom Mayflower, is his own stick legs, a legacy of childhood polio. Joe Kavalier, a former Prague art student, arrives in Brooklyn by way of Siberia, Japan and San Francisco. This improbable route marks only the first in a lifetime of timely escapes. Denied exit from Nazi Czechoslovakia with the visa his family sold its fortune to buy him, Joe, a disciple of Houdini, enlists the aid of his former teacher, the celebrated stage illusionist Bernard Kornblum, in a more desperate escape: crouched inside the coffin transporting Prague's famous golem, Rabbi Loew's miraculous automaton, to the safety of exile in Lithuania. This melodramatic getaway--almost foiled when the Nazi officer inspecting the corpse decides the suit it's wearing is too fine to bury--is presented with the careful attention to detail of a true-life adventure. Chabon heightens realism through a series of inspired matches: the Escapist, who roams the globe "coming to the aid of those who languish in tyranny's chains," with Joe's powerlessness to rescue his family from Prague; Kavalier & Clay's Empire City with New York City in the early 1940s; and the comic industry's "avidity of unburdening America's youth of the oppressive national mantle of tedium, ten cents at a time," with this fledgling art form's ability to gratify "the lust for power and the gaudy sartorial taste of a race of powerless people with no leave to dress themselves." Well researched and deeply felt, this rich, expansive and hugely satisfying novel will delight a wide range of readers. (Sept.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|

All-Ireland Junior Championship Final Replay
Wicklow v New York, Croke Park, 2.30. *LIVE TG4
New York's Emma Clarke, who scored all but one of her side's total tally last time out, will be watched closely by the Wicklow defence tomorrow.
Corner-back Aoife Heffernan has been tasked with the job of keeping the Cavan native quiet. However, Wicklow's attack contains the formidable Lucy Mulhall, who is the top scorer in the Junior Championship this season with 5-14.
Laura Hogan, who held her nerve to score the equaliser in the dying moments two weeks ago, gets the nod to start at corner-forward. With nerves less likely to play a role this time around, a much more free-flowing game of football is expected.
New York are at a slight disadvantage, having only flown into Ireland over the past couple of days, but come throw in, they will be hoping they can rise to the occasion and take the West County Hotel Cup to the Big Apple for the first time.
Verdict: New York.
Wicklow -- E Miley; J Miley, C Byrne, A Heffernan; L Fusciardi, C McKeon (Capt), N Kelly; J Kinch, L Gilbert; AM Doran, C Deeney, M Deeney; L Hogan, L Mulhall, N Carroll.
New York --A Leyden; L Lilly, T McCullagh, J Garcia; C McBrien, C Brady, J Monaghan; L McKeon, A O'Dwyer; M O'Rourke (C), K Roche, C Traynor; E Clarke, I Mullarkey, M De Búrca.
All-Ireland Intermediate Championship Final Replay
Cavan v Westmeath, Croke Park, 4.15. *LIVE TG4
battling Cavan came from three points down in the final six minutes in Croke Park two weeks ago to force tomorrow's replay.
Two second-half goals looked to have secured the silverware for the Lake County, but Cavan captain Aisling Doonan led her team's fightback and forced a replay.
The two sides will be very familiar with one another at this stage, having already played each other twice this championship season, so we can be sure of another tight game.
Westmeath have made three changes to the side that started last time out with Kelly Boyce Jordan, Laura Brennan and Katie Somers losing out to Karen Hegarty, Jennifer Byrne and Fiona Claffey as they bid to clinch the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup.
Verdict: Westmeath.
Cavan -- C McCutcheon; C O'Reilly, G McGlade, C Gray; R Murphy, P Crowe, D English; R Crowe, A Cornyn; R O'Keeffe, B Sheridan, E Costin; B Boylan, C O'Reilly, A Doonan (Capt).
Westmeath -- G Leahy; A Martin, G Kearney, T Durkan; L Brennan, J Rogers, M Malone; MA Foley, E Finn (Capt); L Walsh, R Kearney, J Maher; J Byrne, K Hegarty, F Claffey.

good review. i'll have to check this out, but you've made me pretty nervous.
Album Rating: 2.5not really worth listening to tbh. got the pre-release and was pretty ambivalent.
Nice review.
I've always been a big fan of Cypress Hill, but this doesn't sound that good, will give it a try though.
Might just use it as a stop gap until the new Cypress is finished.

Good review mate. It sounds like he is still experimenting with his solo material & that unfortunately means there will always be crap.

WASHINGTON, April 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Diclegis to treat pregnant women experiencing severe morning sickness, officials say.
Dr. Hylton V. Joffe, director of the Division of Reproductive and Urologic Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said Diclegis, or doxylamine succinate and pyridoxine hydrochloride, is a delayed-release tablet intended for women who have not adequately responded to conservative management of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, such as lifestyle modifications.
These modifications include eating several small meals instead of three large meals, eating bland foods that are low in fat and easy to digest, and avoiding smells that can trigger nausea, Joffe said.
Study participants in the clinical trial were at least age 18 and had been pregnant for at least seven weeks and up to 14 weeks. Women were randomly assigned to receive two weeks of treatment with Diclegis or a placebo.
The study results showed pregnant women taking Diclegis experienced greater improvement in nausea and vomiting than those taking the placebo.
Additionally, observational -- epidemiological -- studies showed the combination of active ingredients in Diclegis does not pose an increased risk of harm to the fetus, Joffe said.
"Many women experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, and sometimes these symptoms are not adequately managed through recommended changes in diet and lifestyle," Joffe said in a statement. "Diclegis is now the only FDA-approved treatment for nausea and vomiting due to pregnancy, providing a therapeutic option for pregnant women seeking relief from these symptoms."

8:45 Christine Havrilla & Gypsy Fuzz
Award-winning Philadelphia native Christine Havrilla brings her "well-built, catchy, smart tunes" (Upstage Magazine) to audiences everywhere, touring nationally solo and also with the support of her band, Gypsy Fuzz. Christine utilizes the soft gritty texture of her vocals to express warmth and honesty listeners quickly embrace as well as her aggressive, raw, trash-style guitar playing and looping. Main Line Today Magazine lists Christine as one the 25 "Power Women" ready to lead (October 2015). "Christine Havrilla is a creative, talented powerhouse wrapped up in one complete package!" exclaims Nor'easter Magazine (Aug 2015). Mike "Jacobs" McKenna of Steel Notes Magazine reviews & says "This CD (Vol. 2- The Sunset Sessions) just defies description. It is hot, tight, precise and just plain kicks ass. This ambitious Philly native manifests her talent in certain ways that allows her to create eclectic music which will grab your heart and leave a lasting memory. Her Roots/Folk/Americana background coupled with that unique individuality that she possesses allows her to be a presence that steps into many genres and gives her the tools to crossover to different music formats. My recommendation is go hear the band live, buy the CD and experience what I have just heard. I give this 2 THUMBS UP!" Mark Rogers from 93.7 WSTW raves, "…with Gypsy Fuzz (the album and the band), Christine takes especially that rock element and turns it to 11. Gypsy Fuzz fuses fantastic guitar work with Christine's vocals, which can reach down inside and grab your heart. A very diverse album, showing elements of rock, blues and even country, among others, Gypsy Fuzz continues Christine's string of fantastic albums. Buy it." Named "One of the Top Ten Indie Artists" by The Advocate Magazine, The Washington Post writes, "(Havrilla's) songs are intelligent and moving, the arrangements are incisive and colorful, and, best of all, Havrilla consistently comes across as a confident and seasoned performer." Gypsy Fuzz's premier album titled "Searching. Finding. Living.", co-produced by Larry Crane (Elliott Smith, Sleater-Kinney, Cat Power), was listed on Advocate Magazine's not to be missed "Best Overlooked Albums of 2011!" (Advocate -November 2011) Christine is listed with Takamine Guitar's Worldwide Artists, was a featured Artist for American Musical Supply's Singer/Songwriter Month (Feb 2015), nominated for About.com's 2013 Reader's Choice Awards, awarded the 2010 Garden State Film Festival's "Best Contemporary Country Song" for "Blinders", nominated for 3 "Homey Awards" (2015) for 93.7 WSTW, and is called "...raw, simple, wonderful!" by Curve Magazine. Inessa at 101.9 KINK.FM calls Gypsy Fuzz "Yet another fun late-year discovery!" Michaela Majoun, former DJ from 88.5 WXPN, applauds her "terrific, big sound", while Philadelphia Magazine states, "She rocks!" Larry Goldfarb of the famous Tin Angel venue shares, "Christine is such a kind person and a great talent!" Christine's current project is a series of "Live Session" volumes, with "Vol. 1- The Creamery Sessions", "Vol. 2- The Sunset Sessions", and "Vol. 3- The Old Church Sessions" now available.
Lucky Ones, produced by Jack Dishel (Only Son, The Moldy Peaches, Regina Spektor), is the sophomore effort from New York-based singer and songwriter Adrien Reju. The new album is a departure from the folk vibe of her debut release A Million Hearts and shows evolution and growth from the artist with its edgier pop sound, orchestral arrangements, and retro-rock backbeat drums, offering something fresh for dedicated fans and new listeners.
When negotiations with a NYC-based independent record label broke down due to differences, Reju sought out PledgeMusic, a Kickstarter-like fundraising platform, to help her release the new album. To launch the campaign, Reju and producer Jack Dishel, who bonded over their love for comedy, together created a comedic sketch short film entitled "The Mysterious Producer." The success of the campaign was notable, raising over 125% of its target from supporters in the United States and as far afield as the United Kingdom and Germany. Matt Connor of PledgeMusic took notice of the new album, saying, "the compelling mix places Reju firmly alongside today's most celebrated female pop songwriters."
Her music has received accolades from the New York SongCircle, awards from 100% Music Songwriting Contest, a Top 10 Songwriter listing by CBS Philly, and soundtrack appearances, including the opening credits of Hallmark Movie Channel's "Flower Girl."
Brooklyn-based indie folk rock duo Barnaby Bright, have garnered high accolades for their lyrically captivating and impeccably balanced songwriting and sound. The ying to each other's yang, Becky's angelic voice enchants audiences, while Nathan's brilliant mastery of multiple instruments and writing styles guides the songs down their path. Finalists in the prestigious New York Song Circle Contest for two years in a row, Barnaby Bright was awarded the Grand Prize, winners in November 2010 for their song, "Don't Look Down."
Between Nathan's bachelor degree in saxophone performance and jazz composition from Berklee College of Music as well as a Masters of Recording from The Conservatory of the Recording Arts & Sciences in Tempe, Arizona and Becky's degree in vocal performance, it's no surprise the married duo wrote and self-produced their first album, "Wake The Hero," garnering accolades such as being highlighted as an "Emerging Artist" at the legendary Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in July 2010. Their music has been featured on ER, Days of Our Lives, and Roadtrip Nation, and the catchy, melodic "If I Came Back As a Song" placed third in 2007's International Song-Writing Competition, whose panel of judges including Tom Waits.
A positive, gracious attitude lures audiences from all over the world into a Barnaby Bright performance, captivated not only by the gorgeous melodies they produce but also by the simplistic spirit of two musicians who truly love their art as much as they love each other. They have toured all over the US in addition to completing two successful month-long European tours, dazzling fans with unique instrumentation, powerful harmonies, intelligent lyrics, and genuine warmth on stage. Inspired by literature, life, human behavior, and a hint of fantasy, Barnaby Bright is a classic vision of timeless indie folk rock in all its glory.
Their first Mishara Music recording will release in May 2011 – a six cut EP, including both award winning songs from "Wake The Hero" and two new songs - "Reverend's Son and the first radio track "Gravity".
Teri Rambo
Part confessor, part philosopher and all heart, Teri Rambo tells the slightly uncomfortable/entirely beautiful stories of human vulnerability and desire. Behind her shy smile and stop-look-and-listen voice, there is a bittersweet transparency, a disarming sincerity and a wink of good humor.
Ms. Rambo has shared the stage with two of her personal heroes: Livingston Taylor and Jane Siberry. Her song Say Something won an Honorable Mention in the 2012 New England Songwriting Competition. Among various Philadelphia theater projects, Teri's distinct vocal sound was featured in the Wilma Theater's Barrymore award-winning production of In the Next Room or the vibrator play (2011).
Teri's first album, to be released later this year by Little Spiders Studio in Phoenixville PA, is a compilation of two decades of original writing

Why You Really should Purchase Refurbished Computers
Microsoft Gold Certified Partners are Microsoft's most highly accredited independent technical support providers and supply a complete range of assistance for Microsoft and multi-vendor solutions. So, even when you are purchasing a used product you basically get to appreciate the restricted manufacturer's warranty from it.

Best for loved ones, student or professional use, our refurbished desktops suit casual and severe users alike. As generally, this is the finest bang-for-your-buck upgrade you can make to your system laptops are no exception. Most desktop and most laptop computer systems incorporate a Windows operating technique, a Microsoft Office suite, and Microsoft safety software preinstalled. Most significant tech site reviewers do not know that Amazon makes it possible for installation of apps from non-Amazon sources, though Amazon advises caution. Laptops / notebooks have actually emerged with desktop-level elements or equivalent specifications to make them your 'only' computer.
Have an understanding of credit card protection—or lack of it. Some cards supply obtain protection for items such as laptops or cameras, but not if the merchandise have been applied.

Re: Metrics to report up
Expand Messages
- After reading thru Alan's response, below, it occurs to me that "most management" will want to have a quantitative, comparative sense of teams productivity (so they can determine which teams are producing more "business value", with the objective of then trying to improve the productivity of those teams producing "less business value") Of course, since velocity is relevant only to a particular team, that's the wrong comparative measure---SO - any suggestions for obtaining such a quantitative measure? Yes, we can go to the PO and ask them to assess "business value" produced, but that seems to be an ephemeral. vague and Not quantitative measure.

- I have come across this scenario very often (almost 95% products/projects) in which defects escape and I have seen this irrespective of methodologies (or practices) used. Human can make mistakes (at every phase/activity) for various reasons however we would like to keep improving ourselves continuously. We measure 'defects escaped' and take it seriously, means, we get to the root cause and invest in required trainings/expectations.
We focus on design & code quality metrics, like, cyclomatic complexity, fan-in, fan-out, depth (inheritance) and run some code quality tools to check coding standard compliance and other parameters (like, memory leakage etc). We report this to management as well to keep them in loop. We measure test related metrics, like, # of test cases (manual vs automated), first time pass ratio, # of defects (open, fixed, closed, postponed) etc.
We do not focus much on velocity, thanks to this forum. We track release burn down, # of stories committed / # of stories achieved (to keep improving team's commitment level), # of demos accepted/ rejected by PO, # of times team got changes in middle of sprint (it is minimal but not zero yet, this helps in deciding sprint length, puts back-pressure on PO) and few more (customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction).
For us, agile is mix of Scrum and XP practices hence we focus on both.

one incorrectly. It would be possible, I suppose, to define Done as
"passes whatever tests we wrote" but that strikes me as a bit too
So an escaped defect would be something we didn't like, that we
agree we understood and somehow failed to get implemented and
tested.Sorry about your cow ... I didn't know she was sacred.

Scarlett has provided me with a completely new vision for how I dress. After working with her remotely, I was armed with the knowledge I needed to let go of clothes and accessories that didn't serve (or flatter) me any longer. I have transformed from the person who walks out of stores empty handed or worse with the wrong silhouettes and colors purchased, into someone who has a clear vision for what works and what I need to pull together outfits. Scarlett is a joy to work with and her recommendations were spot on.
- Stephanie Vuolo
I was amazed at how much value Scarlett provided me in our virtual consultation. Not only did she quickly grasp the clothes that looked like "me" from just a series of photographs, but she picked up on colors and combinations which were not in the photos but I personally liked and encouraged me to use them more because they enhanced my features. Scarlett also gave me the reinforcement to understand why some items looked better on me than others. Then to top it off she provided a comprehensive list of examples I could instantly add to my wardrobe. In 2 hours I went from uncertain to confident with a new batch of clothes that really work for me on the way.
- Allison Hartsoe
Thanks to your course I learned how to NOT draw the wrong attention to my backside. Thanks for teaching me soooo much that I never knew about dressing.
- Dr. Pamela Hoffman
Scarlett's insight & knowledge of color choices, jewelry shapes and neckline styles has helped me create a successful system for my wardrobe. Her approachability & understanding of my concerns was key for my choosing her to be my stylist. From conference rooms & classes to client consultations, I now have more confidence & "curb appeal!" Thank you Scarlett!
- Margaret Ann Innis
Thanks to you Scarlett, I got two 'wow you look great' comments today.
- Sharon McCormick
Oh my goodness. That was fun. I feel like I just lost 20 pounds. It's like I was given permission to let go of past things that just didn't work. Past ideas and even goals that literally just don't fit me anymore. Thank you so much for your help. So much I never knew or even thought about!!!

I discovered Scarlett through a mutual friend whose ensemble was stunning. I had to ask "who" she was wearing. She passed me Scarlett's name, and what I got from our engagement was so much more than a few beautiful dress recommendations. She empowered me with the knowledge of the right colors and silhouettes for my coloring and shape. I've received piles of compliments on the items we both chose using her guidance. She gave me a tool I will have for the rest of my life. Working with Scarlett is an investment not only in your closet, but your confidence as well!
