SOA (service-oriented architecture) promises enterprises endless advantages: increased code reuse, reduced integration expense, better security, and -- the big payoff -- greater business agility. Whether you achieve those benefits, however, probably has more to do with your policies and procedures than the quality of your code.
Counterintuitive as it may seem, SOA requires more organizational discipline than previous development models. Your intuition might tell you that flexibility results from fewer rules, not more, but that's not the case.
Think of today's automobile: The reason you don't have to go to the Ford tire store to buy new tires for your Ford car is a direct result of standards, processes, and regulations. These rules and regulations give you the flexibility to buy tires anywhere and know that they will work on your vehicle.
That sort of standardization provides the underpinnings for SOA across an organization. To prevent IT from being overwhelmed by this new complexity, the industry has created classes of software -- registries, repositories, and run-time management systems -- that help keep all the rules straight. But creating an SOA demands more than using SOA-based tools. It requires that IT organizations make serious choices about design, which results in design rules.
Rules to live by
Design rules specify interfaces, eliminate certain paths from consideration, and delineate boundaries between subsystems. A primary goal of architecture is to increase modularity and create well-defined abstractions based on service APIs. After those choices have been made, they must be recorded, communicated, and enforced. Design rules combined with enforcement are typically called "policies."

"Without SOA governance, you end up in a Web services version of DLL hell," says Roman Stanek, chief software architect and founder of SOA registry provider Systinet. "SOA governance gives consistency, predictability, and allows big apps to be built from small pieces."
If you've already got a strong IT governance process in place, it will serve you well as a foundation for SOA governance. If you've relied on informal governance in the past, moving to SOA will likely require some changes in how you manage development and operations. "Most organizations will fail miserably if they don't implement the right form of governance," says Anne Thomas Manes, vice president and research director at Burton Group. "SOA is about behavior, not something you build or buy. You have to change behavior to make it effective."

...And The Sky Turns To Black...
(Dying Music)
Ever since their 1989 debut demo "Hell Is Here" Brazil's HEADHUNTER D.C. have built up a strong worldwide underground following. The overall great response on that tape quickly secured them a deal with legendary Cogumelo Records (home of SEPULTURA and SARCOFAGO in their early days) and as a result two full length albums were about to follow in 1991 ("Born... Suffer... Die") and 1993 ("Punishment At Dawn"). It took them quite a while to return to the scene after that with their third album "... And The Sky Turns To Black... (The Dark Age Has Come)", which finally came out in 2000 on the rather small company Mutilation Records. Considering the impressive quality of the record, it was no big surprise that about a year later it was already re-released by the (at the time) uprising American WWIII / Mercenary Musik label, with two bonus tracks added to it (covers of POSSESSED's 'Twisted Minds' and SPULTURA's 'Morbid Visions'). But for some strange reason also that company didn't manage to survive, so that (a.o.) HEADHUNTER D.C. had to look for a new option in order to regain the album's availability on the market. Enter: Dying Music. This young company from Brazil (responsible for a.o. the cool SANCTIFIER debut) recently took over the project and put out what could be seen as the ultimate version of it. The CD gets delivered in an additional slipcase, the booklet was enhanced with a couple more pictures and most important of all this time you're about to get no less than five really cool cover tunes! Next to the already known POSSESSED track, this edition also offers extremely cool versions of 'Flag Of Hate' (KREATOR), 'Sodomy And Lust' (SODOM), 'Blessed Are The Sick' / 'Desolate Ways' (MORBID ANGEL) and 'Álcool' (DORSAL ATLÂNTICA). Too bad that the SEPULTURA track is missing now as HEADHUNER D.C.'s incorporation of Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana' masterpiece into the opening part of it turned out really amazing... Anyway, musically HEADHUNTER D.C. are by no means along the lines of what's going on in Brazil at the moment, so don't expect another KRISIUN soundalike here. Instead be prepared for some really intense old school Death Metal, very emotional, very brutal and a.o. obviously inspired by the aforementioned bands that they have paid tribute to. The entire disc comes across very professional (production, packaging etc.), so if you have missed out on its previous versions, this is your (last?) chance to finally go for it now! Great record, great band! I just hope Cogumelo Records will re-release "Punishment At Dawn" on CD format sometime in the near future as well. The band's website seems to be offline at the moment, but you can check out the label site at www.dyingmusic.com

The UNCC at a glance
The United Nations Compensation Commission received approximately 2.7 million claims seeking approximately US$352.5 billion in compensation for death, injury, loss of or damage to property, commercial claims and claims for environmental damage resulting from Iraq's unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait in 1991
The claims were resolved by panels, each of which was made up of three Commissioners who were independent experts in different fields including law, accountancy, loss adjustment, insurance and engineering. Technical experts and consultants in their verification and valuation of the claims assisted the panels. The panels submitted their recommendations on the claims to the Governing Council for approval.
The Governing Council is the policy making organ of the Compensation Commission and its membership is the same as that of the Security Council, of which the Commission is a subsidiary body. To date, the Governing Council has adopted all of its decisions, including those on recommendations on compensation and payments, by consensus.
The Compensation Commission secretariat assists the Governing Council and during the claims processing phase, assisted the panels of Commissioners. The secretariat distributes payments of compensation in accordance with the Commission's Provisional Rules for Claims Procedure and decisions of the Governing Council. Since the establishment of the Commission in 1991, its staff has come from nearly 60 different countries.
The approval by the Governing Council of the last reports and recommendations of the panels of Commissioners at its June 2005 session, marked the completion of 12 years of claims processing at the Compensation Commission and brought to an end the work of the panels of Commissioners, as a whole. Awards of approximately US$52.4 billion have been approved in respect of approximately 1.54 million of these claims, representing roughly 14.9 per cent of the amount claimed. The resolution of such a significant number of claims with such a large asserted value over such a short period has no precedent in the history of international claims resolution.
To date, the Commission has made available to Governments and international organizations approximately US$22.5 billion for distribution to successful claimants in all categories, the vast majority of whom have been paid in full. Funds to pay compensation are drawn from the United Nations Compensation Fund, which receives a percentage of the proceeds generated by export sales of Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products. In conformity with Security Council resolution 1483 (2003), 5 per cent of the proceeds are currently deposited into the Compensation Fund.
As of 1 July 2007, the UNCC secretariat was downsized to a residual format in line with the decision on the phasing out of the UNCC taken by the Governing Council at its fifty-eighth session in December 2005 to maintain the Compensation Fund under the continuing oversight of the Governing Council, supported by a small secretariat. The Commission will focus its work on payments of awards to claimants and the Follow-up Programme to monitor the technical and financial aspects of the environmental remediation projects approved by the Council at its fifty-eighth session in December 2005.

AngloGold Ashanti Results - Quarter Ended 31 March 2005
Acrobat Version
Friday, April 29, 2005
Key features:
Price received improved $29/oz (7%) quarter-on-quarter to $424/oz, following the hedge restructure.
Production reduced by 5% to 1.569Moz (after adjusting for the closure of Ergo), predominately due to lower South African production and after strong performances at Morila and Cerro Vanguardia in the prior quarter.
Former Ashanti assets Obuasi, Iduapriem and Geita delivered improved production, while Sunrise Dam in Australia reported record production.
Total cash costs increased by 4% to $284/oz, due to lower gold produced, stronger operating currencies and inflationary pressures in most operating regions.
Headline earnings adjusted for the effect of unrealised non-hedge derivatives were $77m.
Commenting on AngloGold Ashanti's performance, CEO Bobby Godsell said the restructuring of the hedge announced in January had "delivered the intended positive impact on our received price more closely matching the average spot price for the quarter".
He explained that, following its long planned closure, Ergo was being treated as a discontinued operation. Last quarter's numbers had been restated to exclude Ergo and on this basis production was down 5% to 1.569Moz while total cash costs increased by 4% to $284/oz due to lower gold produced, stronger operating currencies and inflationary pressures in most operating regions.
In respect of the former Ashanti assets, he noted that this quarter had seen improvements in many areas. After five quarters of decline, gold production at Obuasi increased by 2% to 92,000 ounces with tonnage treated up 10% on the previous quarter. "I'm pleased to say that during April, underground grades at Obuasi have improved by 1g/t and management expects production to show progressive increases in each of this year's remaining quarters," he said.
While production at Siguiri was constant quarter-on-quarter, total cash costs improved 9%. At Iduapriem, production improved 10% with cash costs down 19%. Similarly, Geita saw production up slightly with total cash costs down 19%. "These improving trends across the Ashanti assets are important and give me much encouragement about what these assets can contribute to this company as the year progresses," Godsell commented.
Referring to margins, he observed that it was undoubtedly a great frustration for investors that as the gold price had risen over the past year, margins in gold companies had shrunk. One of the drivers of the higher gold price was the weaker US dollar, which in turn meant stronger operating currencies in almost all of AngloGold Ashanti's producing regions including Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Namibia and South Africa. Added to this, significantly higher oil prices and the growth demands of China had translated into price inflation in many of the company's consumables such as cement, tyres and steel. Quantum increases in the cost of contract mining were also being seen.
"The net impact for this company is higher total cash costs expressed in US dollar terms and reduced margins. This is the challenge that we have to take head on as we seek to improve our returns to investors," he said. "This year we have budgeted for a further $50 million in cost savings, following the $50 million in savings we achieved last year. In light of the continuous cost pressure evident this quarter, additional measures are being implemented to ensure that the company reaches its published total cash cost target for the year of $273/oz."

Brazil just can't seem to get its economy going. Is China part of the problem?
How bad are things in Brazil? Its gross domestic product grew at just a 0.9% clip in September, the most recent quarter available, down from 6.9% from two years ago, and is expected to finish the year with growth in the 1% ballpark. It was supposed to get better in 2013, but so far economists have been reducing their estimates–and some are even worried about stagflation.
Many alternatives have been offered for what ails Brazil, including heavy handed regulation, which sent energy utilities like Companhia Paranaense de Energia (ELP), or Copel, tumbling last year, to the possibility that Brazil's growth potential is simply slower than many economists believe.
Investors might want to include China in the mix. Today, China announced its import numbers for January and the imports from Brazil were spectacularly bad. Marketfield Asset Management's Michael Shaoul notes:
Even with the benefit of January's "double month" in which Total Imports to China rose 28.8% Brazil's exports to China fell sharply in January to $2.7 bln, the lowest level since March 2010 and -26.6% below the level of January 2012. This is perhaps one of the most interesting pieces of data in the whole report and part of a trend towards lower Brazil/China activity which has been in place for several quarters. We do believe that this has become a source of stress for the Brazilian economy, which is already under pressure from internal strains.
This is definitely not normal. In the past, when China's imports have been rising, Brazil has been a beneficiary because of its commodity exports. Has the link between China and Brazil finally broken?
The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) exchange-traded fund has gained 0.8% today, while the iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ) has dropped 0.1%.
Emerging markets are expected to power 60 percent of the world's economic activity by 2030 and have become synonymous with growth. But the near-term outlook is murky, at best. Countries like Brazil, India and China that have arguably emerged now face a host of issues –from infrastructure bottlenecks to worries about credit expansion.

I have an entry in the Marketing Pilgrim's SEO Scholarshipcompetition. There are 30 other articles in that competition, and I have been slowly reading through them all. One of those articles struck me as being ultra popular because it has almost 3 times the amount of comments as my article.
"That's interesting" I thought…
I will go take a look at the blog of the person who wrote this because they seem to have a large following and I want to see what I can learn from them. I was disappointed, however, to find that on the front page of the blog was a link-reciprocation article flat out asking for links to their entry in return for links on the blog.
Now the rules of the competition state
9. Any incidence of spam or "black hat" techniques will result in the disqualification of the entry. If in any doubt, ask yourself if you would apply the same techniques in a campaign for a company such as General Electric or Apple.
To me this blogger's tactic doesn't sound like something GE or Apple would be pleased to see their marketers would be doing. But maybe that is just me. It sure isn't spam or absolute black hat, but its a pretty shitty way to earn links and traffic.
From my perspective it is not in the keeping of the spirit of the game.
Maybe it is just sour grapes from me….What do you think?

Aldosterone:renin ratio
The gold standard for screening for feline primary hyperaldosteronism is the aldosterone:renin ratio.5,6,21 This test will allow determination and differentiation of primary vs. secondary hyperaldosteronism. The plasma renin activity
(PRA) is taken into account, as an elevated plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) with low PRA is indicative of aldosterone
secretion independent of stimulation from the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.6 These patterns are consistent with primary hyperaldosteronism and the autonomous secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal
glands.6,10 In cases of either unilateral or bilateral adrenal tumors, the PAC is typically markedly elevated, and the PRA is usually
completely suppressed.5,6,10
ACTH stimulation
ACTH is an additional stimulant of aldosterone production and can also be used to evaluate adrenal mineralocorticoid production.9 Exogenous ACTH administration causes a reliable increase in aldosterone secretion. A standard dose of cosyntropin (125 μg/cat
intravenously) has been used for ACTH stimulation tests traditionally.8 However, a recent study has determined that a cosyntropin dose of 2.5 μg/kg given intravenously will cause a peak aldosterone
response analogous to that obtained with the 125-μg/cat intravenous dose, and blood sample collection after cosyntropin administration
can be obtained 15 to 75 minutes after administration with no significant difference in aldosterone concentration.8
If it is necessary to evaluate plasma cortisol response simultaneously, then a cosyntropin dose of 5 μg/kg given intravenously
is recommended, with a sample collected 60 to 75 minutes after stimulation.8 When evaluating a cat for primary hyperaldosteronism, an ACTH stimulation test is typically unnecessary, and diagnosis can
usually be made from the PAC alone.
Future alternative testing
Ideally, a test using an agent that will suppress aldosterone production in healthy cats but have little to no effect in those
with primary hyperaldosteronism would be the best method to confirm a suspected diagnosis and prove that hyperfunction of
the zona glomerulosa is the cause of an elevated PAC. In people, several tests have been developed to show that an elevated
aldosterone:renin ratio is due to primary hyperaldosteronism, including a captopril stimulation test, oral sodium loading,
saline infusion, and a fludrocortisone suppression test.5
Since such diagnostic tests have yet to be developed and validated in cats, the patient's clinical presentation, electrolyte
concentrations, PAC, and diagnostic imaging all need to be taken into consideration to make a diagnosis.
Imaging should be performed in all cats that you suspect have primary hyperaldosteronism, and it is a necessity in those cats
whose screening tests indicate abnormal regulation of aldosterone production. Determining the laterality of disease is important
to direct proper treatment, as unilateral primary hyperaldosteronism can potentially be cured surgically, while bilateral
or confirmed metastatic disease should be managed medically.
Abdominal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) can be used to identify adrenal
abnormalities and potentially evaluate distant metastases to other abdominal organs and local invasion of the tumor into the
caudal vena cava and surrounding structures. Thoracic radiography can be used to detect the presence of pulmonary metastases.

Drew Carey: The Tavis Smiley Interview
reason.tv host Drew Carey talks to Tavis Smiley about videojournalism, The Price Is Right, medical marijuana, Barack Obama, and much, much more.
On Monday, January 28, reason.tv host Drew Carey sat down with PBS's Tavis Smiley for a wide-ranging conversation about videojournalism, The Price Is Right, medical marijuana, Barack Obama, and much, much more.
Click on the image above to watch and read the transcript below.
Discuss this story at reason's Hit & Run blog.
Tavis: (Laughter) I'm pleased to - I'm pleased to welcome Drew Carey back to this program. I'm laughing already. The popular and talented comedian and actor can now add game show host to his resume. Last fall he took over for Bob Barker on the long-running show "The Price is Right." He's also the host of the prime time CBS game show "The Power of 10."
And if all that were not enough, since I last saw Drew he's decided to get married. Drew, nice to see you.
Drew Carey: Nice to see you, man, thanks for (unintelligible).
Tavis: You all right, man?
Carey: I'm great, yeah.
Tavis: Congratulations on all this stuff.
Carey: Thank you.
Tavis: Are you at all political? Do you -
Carey: Very, but I don't - well, I do these
things for Reason.tv, which is how I got "Power of 10." Because I
was doing these - I was kind of retired and I had -
"Reason" magazine has a website and I thought hey, you guys should do video because everything was really wonky and a lot of numbers and big words and stuff. We should just do video.
So the first one we did was about medical marijuana. And the DEA has marijuana listed in the same category as heroin, and they raid these marijuana clinics because of it. I know; it's insane.
Tavis: Wow, that's weird.
Carey: I know, everybody has the same expression on their face when I tell them. They went what? Yeah, it's the highest level you can put it under. And so I'm political that way, but as far as any candidate or another, none of them are speaking out about hey, we've got to do something about these marijuana clinics. They're all good, everybody has good ideas and they're all nice, so.

Turning for home, he was looking around at horses. When I asked him, he took off again. I like that. I was concerned (when I saw Alpha closing) because my horse was still looking around at the crowd. When he saw the horse coming, he took off again."

Today is 11-11-11.
The last time three "11s" were aligned, it was 100 years ago.
But also on this day, residents Matt, 43, and Jenny Mitchell, 46, were married 11 years ago on 11-11 and at 11:30 a.m. Needless to say, they like the No. 11.
"We got married at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Nov. 11, 2000, after being together for five years," said Jenny, co-owner of their local commercial general contracting company that builds restaurants and retail establishments. "We had every family member show up, many coming from all over the country ... it was a beautiful wedding. We were surrounded by so many loved ones, as we still are today."
Right, but why did they choose 11-11 to tie the knot?
"I'm not really sure, I think it was just available and we thought that was a cool date to get married on. Also, an easy one for the hubby to remember," she laughed.
Each year to celebrate their milestone they try to go back to Las Vegas or someplace fun, she said.
"We've even included the kids along the way," she said. "Last year, we drove up the coast for a wonderful weekend in Carmel with our daughter, and visited our son at school in Santa Barbara along the way."
The Mitchells have lived in Laguna Niguel for 13 years, and they have three children, Joey, 19, Nick, 17, and Maddy, 10.
Jenny grew up in the city and she has worked at many places over the years. Their children all went to school in Laguna Niguel (,, and ) and the oldest is now in college.
While it may be OK to share their special day with friends and family members, what about sharing the spotlight with a national holiday like Veterans Day?
"We love having it fall on Veterans Day," she said. "It's a day off because of the national holiday and we like being able to share it with all the vets. I'm a Navy brat."
And what does Matt have to say? "I think 11 years at 11-11-11 has a lucky ring to it. Hopefully, over the next 11 years the family we created, and the friends we convinced to hang out with us, will continue to bring the same happiness, good times, and success that we have enjoyed the first 11."

Saints starting linebackers Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne are injured and it's not certain whether either will be back for New Orleans' regular-season opener against Washington.||||||| Assistant head coach Joe Vitt says Hawthorne has a torn meniscus and was scheduled for surgery Monday. Vitt did not specify which leg the linebacker hurt.
Hawthorne is expected to play Monday night against the St. Louis Rams after fully participating in practice on Saturday.||||||| Hawthorne was a game-time decision against Philadelphia last Thursday and had a team-high six tackles and a 77-yard interception return for a touchdown. The extended time off helped him recover and return to practice by the end of this week.
The Seattle Seahawks have signed Hawthorne to a one-year extension through the 2011 season.||||||| The team confirmed the signing on Tuesday. It was first reported by Mac's Football Blog. According to the NFL players association database, Hawthorne will make $900,000 in base salary for the 2011 season. It's a raise of more than $200,000 from what he is making this season.
The Seahawks have used the exclusive rights tender on Hawthorne.||||||| By using that tender on Hawthorne, only the Seahawks can negotiate with him because he has no free agency privileges. Had they not made this tender, he could have talked to other teams as a restricted free agent.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — It was only one debate, but on Wednesday night Mitt Romney showed he's in this presidential election to win it. President Obama? He looked like the high schooler who partied all weekend and forgot there was a major test on Monday.
The president didn't look presidential at all. I don't know what was worse: his constant staring down at the podium as Romney went up one side of him and down the other, or his stream of umms and ahhs as he struggled vainly to make coherent sentences.
To paraphrase the president, he didn't prepare and as a consequence he didn't look or sound good and as a consequence he got his tail handed to him and as a consequence he's licking his wounds.
Meanwhile, Romney was crisp and articulate. He came out swinging and hit all the right notes. He looked and sounded confident. At least one of these guys realizes that there's something at stake in November.
I had to laugh when I heard the president's apologists after the debate. Chris Matthews on MSNBC said Obama needs to watch his network more, especially Al Sharpton. Yeah, that's what the president needs to do: listen to a frothing-at-the-mouth blowhard.
Then there was the "Internet inventor" Al Gore, who blamed Obama's performance on, of all things, the mile-high altitude of Denver. To quote the president, "ummmm" no. I'm surprised they didn't accuse Romney of gaining an unfair advantage by spending time in a hypobaric chamber.
I don't know what happened to President Obama on Wednesday — outside of his inability to use a TelePrompTer for the debate — but he certainly mailed this one in. However, I have a couple of guesses as to why he looked so miserable.

Some people must have thought bar owner Tim Neill was crazy.
A year and a half ago, he opened his first bar in the Triangle, called Peccadillo. It is located behind a car wash in Carrboro. There is no sign outside. There is only a smallish 100A to indicate the address spray-painted on the outside of a steel door. The bar has only a bare-bones website listing the address, email, phone number and hours. No menu. No photos. No Facebook page. No Twitter account.
Neill, 39, was mainly relying on word of mouth to get people in the door. Then he had to hope that his customers liked the idiosyncrasies they found inside. In this cozy, dark room, bartenders in white pharmacist jackets serve beer, wine and only three classic cocktails: Manhattans, martinis and Negronis. Dont ask for a mojito. They dont have fresh herbs. Dont ask for a gimlet or a cosmo. The only fruit juice they have is apple.
Neill must be doing something right. About a month ago, he opened a second bar in downtown Durham called Bar Lusconi. Again, there is no sign outside. This bar has no website, although there is a Facebook page and a Twitter account. Despite Durham being home for rabid lovers of all things local, Neill doesnt serve any local beer. His beer list is limited to esoteric choices from France, Belgium and Slovakia. His cheapest beer is $7.
Even a beer aficionado, like Michael Hayek, beer manager for Mutual Distributing, is stumped by their menu.
Its not often I see a beer list that I dont know stuff on it, says Hayek on a recent Saturday night at Bar Lusconi with friends.
It says something about the evolution of the Triangles bar scene that Neills two quirky establishments can succeed here.
The countrys craft cocktail movement started in the mid-2000s with bars, like Employees Only in New York City where Neill used to work. The trend came to the Triangle around 2008 with the opening of The Crunkleton in Chapel Hill, Foundation in Raleigh and Whiskey in Durham. It continues with the more recent additions of C. Grace and Fox Liquor Bar, both in Raleigh, and Alley 26 in Durham.
These bars do things differently. They have selective beer and wine lists. They offer classic cocktails and riffs on those classics. The bartenders make the syrups, the sodas and even the bitters. They squeeze fresh fruits daily for juices and source ingredients from local farms. Some have installed special ice machines to churn out larger cubes that perfectly chill a cocktail without diluting it as quickly as smaller chips or cubes would.
These bars may not have something for everyone. But Shannon Healy, the longtime bar manager at Crooks Corner who opened Alley 26 last fall, says, We would all rather absolutely delight most of the people than pacify everyone.
Into this developing bar scene stepped Neill. The Australian native brought his business savvy to the Triangle from New York. While tending bar at Employees Only, one of the countrys best craft cocktail bars, he met Jesse Gerstl, 30, a regular and marketing consultant. Neill mentioned he wanted to open his own bar outside of New York, and Gerstl offered to be his business partner.
Neill moved to North Carolina and opened Peccadillo in December 2011. Gerstl moved here this spring before they opened Bar Lusconi. Then the pair hired Dean James, 32, who had also relocated to the area after working at renowned craft cocktail bars in California, including Olympic in San Francisco. (Neill and James knew of each other in the small craft cocktail world but had never met.)
Neill said some of the speakeasy feel to Peccadillo wasnt intentional. For example, it made no sense to put a sign outside the bar because a nearby concrete plant meant there is white dust everywhere. Any kind of outdoor facade would have to be constantly cleaned.
But he, Gerstl and James were intentional about Peccadillos narrow focus. Craft cocktails tend to spiral out of control very quickly. In an effort to make new things, you end up with people putting out off-kilter cocktails, James says. About Peccadillos limited cocktail offerings, James says: No one is drinking these drinks the right way. They are simple. They look elegant. You look good drinking them in a dark bar.
Neill says the key to getting people coming back to both bars is customer service. If a customer comes in and asks for a drink they dont serve, a bartender will ask a few questions and suggest something the customer may like. In order to take people into this world, Neill says, the way to do that is to offer them fantastic service and offer them the opportunity to not like it.
At least one table of customers were happy on a recent Saturday night at Bar Lusconi. Hayek, who works for the beer distributor, and his friends had ordered some larger bottles of beer for sharing. Neill and James, who were both working that night, insisted on bringing cheese for the group to try with the beer. Then the bartenders brought chocolate toffees for the table to try with the beers.
Stephen Mague joked about Neill and James insistence: You are going to have this cheese.
His friend, Ben Woodward, 36, who owns Saxapahaw brewery Haw River Farmhouse Ales, retorted: Thats the beauty of this place. The world needs more of these places.

14 Most Creative and Weird Cameras Ever Constructed1
By Annie Cooper
14 Most Creative and Weird Cameras Ever Constructed (That Actually Work)
When's the last time you made the mistake of asking someone over the age of 60 to take your picture? You and your pals stand there, posed in front of the statue of Mickey and Walt at the center of Disneyland, feigning patience, the once-bright smiles on your faces slowly drooping, becoming frozen and terrifyingly clownish as you say things like, "No…not that button. The one on top. No, the picture is on the screen, not in the hole. It's OK if the picture is moving, it's supposed to do that. OK, now…oh, you just turned it off. Let me turn it back on again…"
Sadie, the focus of the innovative web series OzGirl wouldn't have that sort of trouble. She's an aspiring photographer who just moved to the big city, Melbourne, Australia, and while she might struggle with romance, family matters, and finding herself, snapping a killer shot is definitely not a problem. Even Sadie – heck, even Annie Leibovitz – might have a hard time finding her way around the weird and wonderful cameras below, though. Just think of the trouble it'd give your grandma.
OzGirl, Episode 1: A New Life
1. Yum… Spamera!
To the DIY photography enthusiast, pinhole cameras offer up an opportunity to turn just about anything into a photo-making device. Pinhole cameras work basically like the human eye itself: light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of a light-proof, enclosed space. So, dear photo nerd, find yourself a box-like item, poke a teeny hole, make some adjustments to your liking, et voila! Ham-scented portraits for all your friends and neighbors.
2. Camera Obscura, San Francisco
As one of the devices that led to photography as we know it today, a "camera obscura" is a device that projects its surroundings on a screen using only the exterior natural light sources. They are thought to go back as far as 4th Century B.C. Luck for us in the late 19th Century, they found a new role as popular gimmicks added to tourist attractions. The one currently found at San Francisco's Ocean Beach has been in continuous operation since 1946, after the original burned down, along with the elaborate Cliff House. Though there are other cameras obscura to be found around the country, this is the only one actually shaped like a giant Art Deco camera. And, incidentally, the only one from which you can view the mountains of sea lion poop accumulation on Seal Rock.
3. EyeBorg
So anyway, this dude is going to put a camera where his eyeball used to be. He lost the original, biological eyeball as a teenager and has been wearing a prosthetic ever since. But two years ago, this wannabe robo-filmmaker announced that he was making efforts to have that boring ol' prosthetic replaced with a functioning video camera so that he could make movies by simply observing the world as he sees it every day. And it looks like it's going to happen. You can follow his journey via his blog. I advise you to do so, so that when you run into him in the gym locker room, you can cover your business with a towel before it ends up on YouTube, streamed directly from his head.
4. The Great Picture
The people of Orange County in Southern California have been all worked up for years over the former El Toro Marine Air Base. Some people wanted a city park, some people wanted another airport. How did they solve the crisis? They built the world's largest camera and took the world's largest photograph, of course. As everyone knows, nothing brings people together like a community effort to set a Guinness World Record. So they built a camera out of a retired air hanger and took a three-story by eleven-story picture of the retired air base. We're not exactly sure how this relates to the park, the air base, or, well, anything really. But it sure is…big. Good for you, OC.
5. Lego Camera
We're including this one because, frankly, it's adorable. And it really works. For between $60-$80, depending on the retailer, you can have a Lego camera of your very own. And if you're a more advanced brick-technophile, (that's a thing, right?), you can buy and build a remote controlled Lego robot, attach a small camera to it, and link your feed to another computer anywhere in the world. Let the make-believe Mars Rover expeditions begin! (Or, you could go outside and try to make friends with real, live people. Your choice. )
6. Voltron Star Shooter
And speaking of toy-themed cameras, how about this little beauty? Alright, so it hasn't been manufactured since 1985, but we're seriously wondering how we missed it. If you'd known about it, wouldn't you be pleading with your folks day and night for one of these babies? Yes, it takes real pictures (if you can still manage to find 110 cartridge film out there). And yes, it fully transforms. More than meets the eye, indeed! (Yes, we know that's a Transformers reference, which is totally different than Voltron. Cut us some slack, man. It's a transforming camera-bot!) Quick, there's probably one on eBay right now! Don't let some dude named "CommanderKeith86" beat you to it!
7. Canon Nova DSLR
Is it a giant eyelash curler? A controller for a new Wii surgery game? A periscope? None of the above. It's Canon's Nova, a concept camera unveiled in late 2009 which attempts to solve the bulk problem of DSLR cameras by putting the controls on two maneuverable arms. It claims to provide equal usage comfort for right and left-handed users, and to offer an improved "streamlined design" compared to traditional cameras. It makes no claims about how dorky you'll look using it, though, or how likely you'll be to snip off the tip of your nose when you sneeze at an inopportune moment.
8. Untouchable: The HIV Positive Blood Sample Camera
Artist and photographer Wayne Martin Belger built this camera with an HIV+ blood sample running through it to "study and photograph a geographic comparison of people suffering from HIV." The blood becomes the red filter through with the photos are taken, and the results are poignant, beautiful, and haunting. Belger's other works are equally thought provoking, including cameras made from human skulls, antlers, and wood.
9. Pop Cam
Who needs you, Andy Warhol? Nobody, that's who, now that we've got a $20 buddy to duplicate your finest work. In one second, this little fella can take four different-colored photos in succession, and when printed, what you've got is a frame-friendly piece of the highest order. All that, and it's cute, too. Your 15 minutes are up, artboy.
10. Steampunky Elegance
Not familiar with steampunk? It's like the Industrial-Victorian design equivalent of Renaissance Faire, beloved by geeks the world over mostly for the same reasons: it affords big-boned girls a reason to wear corsets in public. Oh, and don't forget the top hats and monocles. Anyway, some of your more industrious steampunk lovers are pretty crafty, like the guy who built this awesome working camera.
11. Big Papa- The Seitz Digital 6×17
This is the mother of all point-n-shooters, the Seitz 6×17, which boasts a whopping 160 megapixels. It weighs about 10 pounds and costs about $45,000. According to the company's website, the Seitz "employs a digital scanning back [that) employs a linear light sensor detector similar to that used in flatbed scanners; it moves across the field of view to take the photo rather than using a two-dimensional sensor that captures the entire scene simultaneously." Well, we don't know what all that means, but we do know this: for $45,000, the people in the photos you take with this puppy better wave and smile at you from the page, just like Harry Potter's parents.
12. Spy Cameras!
Just think of all the fun you could have with some of the innovative products available under the umbrella term "covert surveillance." There are a myriad of designs available – some with color and sound – disguised as calculators, teddy bears, sunglasses, wristwatches, car keys… even electrical sockets. You could start your own private detective agency, you little Jack Bauer, you. That, or finally find out once and for all who's been trampling your azaleas in the middle of the night. (Hint: Garden gnomes are not the gentle creatures you've been lead to believe.)
13. Bang! The Pistol Camera
Leave it to Japan to come up with this somewhat-unsettling camera design which debuted with use by the country's police officers in the mid-1950's. It featured a flash system and clips of film cartridges, rather than bullets, in the handle. Shockingly enough, the Japanese public wasn't thrilled with the design. ("Wait! Come back! Don't run! I'm just trying to take your picture!") Gives a whole new meaning to "point & shoot," doesn't it? Perhaps the Japanese are better off sticking with Hello Kitty vibrators and seals dressed up like strawberries.
14. Barbie Video Girl
Please tell us we're not the only ones who find this to be some totally creepy sh*t. There's a camera lodged deeply in her sternum. This isn't fun. It's the aftermath of a terrible super-collider accident. In case you're actually considering buying one of these, we'll tell you that yes, it actually works. Shooting up to 30 minutes of video, evidence can be found here, in which a brave and creative individual compares Barbie's boob-shooter functionality to that of a Canon 7D. According to Mattel, videos may be uploaded and edited on your computer. Just don't ask us where the USB port is located, you sicko's.

St. Lucia -- in the Eastern Caribbean-- is known for scenic beauty, and especially for the twin peaks of the Pitons in the southwest. The island has jungle and plantations; the sea has coral reefs. St. Lucia was ruled by the French and later by the British; many tourists visit from the UK, and driving is on the left. Direct flights from the US to St. Lucia are increasing, as are all-inclusive resorts.
Almond Smugglers Cove is on the northwest coast, eight miles north of capital city Castries, and across from the St. Lucia Golf Resort & Country Club. The resort was formerly the Club St. Lucia.
- the resort has 357 rooms, in five categories, in single-story buildings on 60 acres. All rooms have been redone and have terraces.
- Almond Smugglers Cove has four restaurants: continental (at The Cove), seafood, casual Italian, and an adults-only dinner restaurant serving Caribbean dishes. The Cove serves British-style Afternoon Tea, with pastries and sandwiches. There's also a Beach Grill, a Kids Club buffet, and room service for lunch and dinner.
- Watersports include snorkelling, windsurfing, hobie cat sailing, kayaking, banana boat rides, water skiing (with instruction.) For an extra charge: 2-seater battery operated boats with water cannons, a big hit with kids.
- Pools: Almond Smugglers Cove has 5 pools, including one for families and one adults-only; main pools are freeform; there's also a swim-up bar and a waterfall.
- Land Activities: tennis courts, squash court, fitness centre, free green fees on the nearby Cap Estate Golf Course. (with some limits; and cart fee charges apply). Beauty treatment rooms; spa is due to open. (Check site for updates.)

The Kids Clubs have kiddie pools and playgrounds; Almond Smugglers Cove has a Teen Club, too. Nursery and Mini programs end at 5, but babysitting is available (at an extra charge.)
- the Hewanorra International Airport is in the south of the island; the drive is only 30 miles, but can take 1-1/2 hours. (Helicopter ride takes 20 minutes, approx. $120/adult.) Another airport, F.L. Charles,serves smaller planes and is 15 minutes from the resort.
- one of St. Lucia's top restaurants-- The Great House-- is adjacent to the resort; it's not in the all-inclusive plan, but guests can get a credit to use for meals at The Great House.

I've taught folks of all ages—from 6 to 76.Over the years I have developed my own teaching method for people who want to learn about computer applications and I call it the "C H I P" method:There are five different ways to learn so I teach using the method that works best. Some students must read, some can only learn when they see, then do, and some learn in other ways. When I see "that look" and I KNOW that look, I will try another teaching method until my student "gets it."I don't think any questions are dumb. It's okay for a student to occasionally have to run outside and do the "primal scream" because learning new concepts can sometimes be frighting or frustrating, but as a teacher, I believe that is unforgivable so I promise I will not lose my patience.I am a proficient tutor using Illustrator, to Photoshop and Flash, to InDesign or DreamWeaver and other Adobe software—never fear Cher is here.

Hit and miss year for Appleby Hannah Van Den Bergh 19th October 2011 11:57:47
Despite inflation today reaching a high of 5.2% on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), a measure only previously reached in the midst of the September 2008 recession, Apple's full-year profits have risen by 85% compared to this time last year. This amounts to a total net profit of $25bn (£16.5bn) for 2011 fiscal year, to 25th September.
With ever-increasing competition from the likes of the Amazon Kindle Fire and other smart phones, such as the Samsung and HTC, Apple's sales have maintained relatively strong. Selling 17.1m iPhones in the quarter, a 21% year-on-year growth , and 11.1m iPads, a 166% year-on-year growth, Apple have yet failed to meet the expected purchases predicted by analysts.
These "weak" sales have had impact on the price of shares, which have allegedly fallen 5% since the information has been made public.
Macintosh computers have, however, had their best-ever quarter for sales, with 4.9m machines retailed worldwide, cementing Apple's stronghold in the computing market.
Tim Cook, Chief Executive at Apple preceding Steve Jobs' who died on 5th October 2011, has nonetheless said he is "thrilled with the very strong finish of an outstanding fiscal 2011".
These figures fail to account for the boom in sales in line with the release of the iPhone 4S on 14 October, which have made record books selling four million in the initial three days after their release. Peter Oppenheimer, Chief Financial Officer at Apple pinpoints the overall weak sales down to the expected anticipation and speculation over the iPhone 4S. And after seeing such successful sales, Apple's market power remains to be queried.
Cook insists that the "team remain really enthusiastic about our product pipeline", and that "customer responses to the iPhone 4S has been fantastic". However, reaction to Jobs' death on a worldwide scale, it is debatable that the legacy of the "creative genius" will have gained the global company an added allure, with which we await the 2012 fiscal calculations.
Take a look at the figures yourself here.

We have heard in time and time again. George W. Bush has threatened all terrorists and all nations that support or provide sanctuary to these so called terrorists. We watched as Bush and company obliterated Iraq even though they did not meet this stated criteria. But now we have a nation that clearly meets that criteria: Pakistan. They have reached a peace agreement with the Taliban and they now claim that they will not arrest Osama bin Laden if he leads a peaceful existence in their nation. OK Bush…when does the bombing start? OK Bush supporters, when are you going to sign up for military service to go after this appeaser of our enemies? Think about it!
So When Do We Bomb Pakistan?

October 10th has come and gone, and LG's BD300 has yet to leave the shipping dock. In fact, Circuit City is sending out notifications to consumers that pre-ordered the unit to inform them of the holdup. According to the note, the manufacturer (that'd be LG) has yet to release the product to the store for shipment, meaning that there's no telling when it'll finally be received. What's the deal, LG? Is this just a momentary snag, or something we should really be concerned about? Check the full e-mail after the jump.
