There is no doubt about it. The final years of President Bingu wa Mutharika's in power left the country in a difficult position. At the time of his death on April 5, of this year, Malawi had lost diplomatic and cooperation relations with Great Britain, the United States, Germany, the European Union, Norway, the World Bank and the African Development Bank. Of all the countries and organizations to break from, these were the worst in terms of money. Since taking over from Mutharika this year, President Joyce Banda has sought to improve diplomatic relations again to help improve the Malawian economy. Some of these are starting to bear fruit at last.
Britain restores ties
As reported on the Maravi Post, President Banda has succeeded in restoring diplomatic ties with Malawi's former colonial power, Great Britain. Relations between the two soured after diplomatic cables were leaked reporting former envoy Fergus Cochrane-Dyet's uneasiness with Mutharika's authoritarian ways. After the cable was released Mutharika expelled Cochrane-Dyet, which led to the expulsion of Malawi's envoy to London, Flossie Gomile.
The new top diplomat to Malawi will now be Michael Nevin, who presented his letters of accreditation to Banda last week. It's hoped that Nevin's presence will help spur on British investment in the country and a resumption of aid programs and projects. Britain is still Malawi's top international donor and contributes millions of pounds in aid each year. In order to regain this cash, Banda will have to prove the money is being spent correctly and not on presidential jets. In terms of Western diplomacy, Banda is also negotiating with Hilary Clinton to restore aid from the United States.
Nigerian treaties
A more immediate impact will be made by the two deals signed between Lilongwe and Abuja. These appear to be the first of 10 treaties due to be signed between Malawi and Africa's most populous nation. The central tenet of the deals will be economic relations, trade and natural resources. One of these deals will see Nigeria importing rice from Malawi. This is part of President Banda's Cassava Commercialisation Programme. Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, admitted this when he declared "I would like to take this opportunity to ask Malawi to start supplying us with rice." Part of the deal will see Malawian and Nigerian scientists work together to improve rice production in the country. Furthermore, Nigeria will lend its expertise in the oil industry as Africa's largest exporter of the substance.
Discontent ahead of 2014
The objective of governments are to look after the needs and rights of the people and to create a favourable environment for them to thrive. Part of this in ensuring that the economic set up favours a balance between employees and businesses in such a way the economy can develop and the standard of living rises. Banda appears to be making slow progress, but a number of people are unhappy with her progress. These voices of discontent are vital for a democracy and a free press, but will present challenges to Banda during the 2014 general election.
Cedrick Ngalande of the Nyasa Times has called Banda nice, but not very good in his article published on Sept. 12, while here on the Maravi Post, Wiseman Chijere Chirwa has claimed that Banda is not sophisticated enough to be Malawi's leader. Chirwa's criticisms built on those by John Kapito, who heads up the Consumers Association. The biggest criticism is that the Kwacha devaluation has hit the economy hard and the president has not helped either the people or the businesses. Ngalande went further in calling Banda a failure for this act. He also criticises Banda for a lack of a manifesto outlining her party's ideas, philosophies and policies for the general election.
Slow Progress
Mutharika's undermining of diplomatic relations with nearly everyone had stemmed the flow of money into the country. This meant that a large number of privately and publically employed staff were facing the threat of redundancy and unemployment. Oil exploration can help Malawi become more self-sufficient in terms of energy or it can help raise money and living standards. The Cassava Commercialisation Programme and deals with Nigeria will help develop agriculture in the country and food independence. If done well, Malawi will never have to worry about famine. These are top priorities along with reducing redundancy in the workforce and increasing employment.
Welcome Eve Jones, MaraPost's new news analyst. A journalism and business school graduate, Jones will from time to time share her insights with Malawi readers.

A Metadata Approach to Preservation of Digital Resources: The University of North Texas Libraries' Experience
Date: August 2002
Creator: Alemneh, Daniel Gelaw; Hastings, Samantha Kelly & Hartman, Cathy Nelson
Description: This article discusses a metadata approach to preservation of digital resources. Abstract: Preserving long-term access to digital information resources is one of the key challenges facing libraries and information centers today. The University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries has entered into partnership agreements with federal and state agencies to ensure permanent storage and public access to a variety of government information sources. As digital resource preservation encompasses a wide variety of interrelated activities, the UNT Libraries are taking a phased approach to ensure the long-term access to its digital resources. Formulation of preservation policy and creation of preservation metadata for electronic files and digital collections are among the most important steps. This paper discusses the issues related to digital resources preservation and demonstrates the role of preservation metadata in facilitating the preservation activities in general. In particular, it describes the efforts being made by the UNT Libraries to ensure the long-term access and preservation of various digital information resources.

Metadata Analysis at the Command-Line
Date: January 15, 2013
Creator: Phillips, Mark Edward
Description: This article discusses metadata analysis. Abstract: Over the past few years the University of North Texas Libraries' Digital Projects Unit (DPU) has developed a set of metadata analysis tools, processes, and methodologies aimed at helping to focus limited quality control resources on the areas of the collection where they might have the most benefit. The key to this work lies in its simplicity: records harvested from OAI-PMH-enabled digital repositories are transformed into a format that makes them easily parsable using traditional Unix/Linux-based command-line tools. This article describes the overall methodology, introduces two simple open-source tools developed to help with the aforementioned harvesting and breaking, and provides example commands to demonstrate some common metadata analysis requests. All software tools described in the article are available with an open-source license via the author's GitHub account.

Workflow Tools for Digital Curation
Date: April 17, 2013
Creator: Weidner, Andrew & Alemneh, Daniel Gelaw
Description: This article discusses workflow tools for digital curation. Abstract: Maintaining usable and sustainable digital collections requires a complex set of actions that address the many challenges of various stages of the digital object lifecycle. Digital curation activities enhance access and retrieval, maintain quality, add value, and facilitate use and re-use over time. Digital resource lifecycle management is becoming an increasingly important topic as digital curators actively explore software tools that perform metadata curation and file management tasks. Accordingly, the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries develop tools and workflows that streamline production and quality assurance activities. This article demonstrates two open source software tools, AutoHotkey and Selenium IDE, which the UNT Digital Libraries has adopted for use during the pre-ingest and post-ingest stages of the digital resource lifecycle.

View OffersThis Father's Day brings a sizable crop of books aimed at the dad. Here's a sampling:
"Captain Dad: The Manly Art of Stay-At-Home Parenting," by Pat Byrnes
What it is: An illustrated account of raising children as the chief care provider, aimed at that small but growing fraternity of full-time dads.
Sample: About staying at home, Byrnes writes, "One in 2 (dads) says he'd do it; but only 1 in 163 actually does it. What does that tell you? Exactly! It tells you that, in any sex-related situation, men lie."
More: Read an interview with Pat Byrnes.
"Doing the Best I Can: Fatherhood in the Inner City," by Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson
What it is: A detailed, academic look at unwed fatherhood, including interviews of more than 100 men, showing the obstacles facing low-income dads.
Sample: "By examining the unfolding stories of these men's lives beginning at courtship, and moving through conception, birth, and beyond, we come to see that the 'hit and run' image of unwed fatherhood … is a caricature and not an accurate rendering."
"A Dude's Guide to Babies: The New Dad's Playbook," by Richard Jones and Barry Robert Ozer
What it is: A breezy guide to the early years that insists on calling babies "little dudes" and "dudettes."
Sample: "(The book) was born from a panicked conversation between Richard and Barry. Richard, the wily veteran with three little dudes, was trying to console Barry, who'd just gone from DINK (double income, no kids) to adoptive dad of four in the blink of six months."
"Made by Dad: 67 Blueprints for Making Cool Stuff," by Scott Bedford
What it is: Short on advice and long on do-it-yourself, this is a graphic, illustrated manual for making such projects as the Rubber Band Rocket Car with the sorts of materials that are usually around the house (or easily acquired at the craft store).
Sample: Get your glue-gun ready (and your cardboard, magic markers, paper cups and toilet paper rolls) and build the Spaghetti & Marshmallow Eiffel Tower, the Ratapult, and the Jelly Bean Reward Rocket.
"Norman Rockwell's Treasury for Fathers," published by Abrams Books
What it is: One hundred of Norman Rockwell's popular illustrations paired with poems, songs and short stories.
Sample: William Butler Yeats' "A Prayer for My Daughter" and "If" by Rudyard Kipling are among the poetic offerings accompanying Rockwell's memorable images.

Your Games Will Look Way Better With Custom Covers
Despite the best efforts of publishers and their art teams (or clients), a video game collection can rarely look as impressive as a good stack of books. Which is why, if you're concerned about that sort of thing, it's a good idea to print off your own custom covers, which often look waaaaaay better than the real deal.

Japanese Box Art vs Western Box Art
See, Video Game Covers in the U.K. are Like This and in Australia…
Because of the size and position of the Australian ratings classification for video games (CTC here is a placeholder), Ubisoft had to mirror the image of the Far Cry 3 box art, in order for us to see that poor bastard buried up to his nostrils by that psychopath, posing like a dual-wielding Le Penseur.

Yesterday we showed you what will surely be 2012's worst example of box art. So it's only fair that today we cleanse the palette with what could easily be 2012's best.

Ah, Tiny & Big. One of the most promising PC indie games on the horizon continues to show others how its done, this time with its box art. The game's getting a retail release in Germany, and will look a million bucks on the shelf with this comic-infused masterpiece tarting up the cardboard.
If Video Game Box Art Hadn't Changed in Thirty Years...
There was a certain charm to video game box art from the 1970s and 1980s. The graphics were so terrible that often quite abstract, quite amazing art had to be used to sell a game in its stead.

Sistar – Alone: Kpop Music Mondays
142 COMMENTSWow! It's been over a year since we last spoke about Sistar. They're back with a new rocking song and a not so rocking video:
Like we said in our video, we like the song a lot, but we didn't like the video. The song was great! We heard it at the club this weekend and really enjoyed dancing to it, though we didn't do the sexy knee dance. That might have been a traumatic experience for onlookers. We feel, though, like all of the budget went into making the song while the video was soooooo neglected. And they definitely made a thwack of money from the awkward whisky bottle product placement: spend some of that back into the video!
Maybe the video's geared just for guys who want to see Sistar dance and pose, and who won't care about Sistar's surroundings, but – even as a guy watching it – the whole video just seems poorly planned. It's almost like Super Junior videos when they're in bizarre rooms, except Super Junior videos have more to them than that, like interesting camera effects (re: the slow motion camera) or cheesy sound effects. Something, at least! This had them in that stupid black room with the red jungle gym. WTF was that? I'd like a black room akin to JYP's Someone Else, where the lights are doing more work, and make it look awesome. The red thing though…just…I don't get it.
For that tiny percentage of male readers who watch us (seriously, a vast majority of you are female, according to Google), what are your thoughts on this video? Did it do anything for you? I know the song and video were meant to be sexy, but it just seems like it was attempting just a bit too hard to be sexy. There's no balance of anything else in the video. Just sexy dancing, then being at an empty bar awkwardly and sexy posing. And rolling around on the floor sexily. It started to get redundant after a while. Maybe you feel differently?
Anyhow, I won't be watching the video again, but that won't stop me from liking the song. If you like the song as well, you can pick it up either on iTunes or YesAsia. Otherwise, we've got bloopers as usual! Martina has a habit of throwing her pig at me. I have taken self-defence measures, as learned from Street Fighter 2.

I have a tough time reviewing movies starring Ewan McGregor as the guy happens to be one of my personal favorite actors. But, fortunately, putting together a Top Picks list is a matter of personal choice, so it's totally fine to play the fan and not have to be professionally disconnected from the subject. That said, here are my choices for some of the best Ewan McGregor movies (and no, any movie with "Star Wars" in the title will NEVER make this list).
1. 'Trainspotting'
Danny Boyle directs Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle in this probing look at the lives of heroin junkies in Edinburgh. It's alternately heartbreaking, hysterical, and disturbing, but it's always entertaining. And Boyle promises that one of these years he'll revisit these characters, when the actors are older. "We want to get them back together again and do a film about those same characters and what their lives are like now when they're kind of in middle-age, and all the things that that means to people," said Boyle in our exclusive interview. "It's a lovely way of looking at life through a bunch of hedonists who wasted their lives, you know, and what that would be like when middle-age is hurtling towards them."
2. 'Beginners'
Ewan McGregor shares the screen with three incredible co-stars - Melanie Laurent, Christopher Plummer, and a Jack Russell Terrier who will steal your heart - in this incredibly moving, funny romantic tale with one of the best 'meet cutes' on film.
3. 'Moulin Rouge!'
Some thought it wouldn't work, but Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman just went for it in this flashy, energetic movie musical from filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. A mishmash of musical styles propels this musical forward, with Luhrmann asking the audience to abandon reality and go along on this wildly exuberant ride. And who knew McGregor and Kidman could actually handle singing chores so well?
4. 'Velvet Goldmine'
Ewan McGregor doesn't mind dropping his pants on film, and Velvet Goldmine allows him to let everything hang out - literally, but not gratuitously. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Christian Bale co-star in Todd Hayne's critically acclaimed look at glam rock. Rhys-Meyers plays glam rocker Brian Slade who fights his way up the ladder only to fake his death to escape the spotlight. Bale co-stars as a journalist who has to relive his wild youth when he's given an assignment to write a retrospective on the rise and fall of Brian Slade. And McGregor plays Brian Slade's sometimes lover, sometimes singing partner who crashes hard.
5. 'Big Fish'
This wild fantasy from Tim Burton has a touching message about family and love. If you like tall tales, and if you're looking for a gentle Ewan McGregor movie, then this one's for you. McGregor, playing the younger version of Albert Finney in this film adaptation of Daniel Wallace's novel, is Edward Bloom, a teller of tall tales who is dedicated to his loving wife of many years (played by Jessica Lange and Alison Lohman) but estranged from his journalist son (Billy Crudup). As Edward nears the end of his life he's determined to make a connection with his son, and his son is determined to get the truth out of his dad - no matter the consequences.
6. 'Down with Love'
Ewan McGregor plays Rock Hudson to Renee Zellweger's Doris Day in this under-appreciated romantic comedy. It's totally old school, which may have put off contemporary audiences. But if you get the Hudson and Day reference, then you'll get Down with Love. Rent it and then be sure to watch all the DVD extras, and stay tuned to the credits for a cute song and dance number by McGregor and Zellweger.
8. 'A Life Less Ordinary'
Sometimes I'll tell people I love this movie and I'll get the strangest blank looks in response. Apparently A Life Less Ordinary is a well-kept secret. But check it out - Ewan sings, dances, gets really emotional, and woos Cameron Diaz. Plus, there's angels (played by Delroy Lindo and Holly Hunter), a weird, sexually crazed dentist (played by Stanley Tucci), and a mob boss who's off his rocker (played by Ian Holm). And Danny Boyle directs... There's nothing 'ordinary' about this romantic comedy.
9. 'Shallow Grave'
You've got to love this movie's tagline: "What's a Little Murder Among Friends?" Director Danny Boyle's first film finds Ewan McGregor playing one of three roommates who interview a long line of prospective roommates, finally settling on a pretty normal-looking guy. But when their new roomie suddenly kicks the bucket, they discover the guy had a huge secret. Their deceased roommate leaves behind a suitcase full of cash. Problem? What to do with the body and the dough. Solution? Get rid of the body, keep the dough.

This cartoon is in spanish but has been subtitled to english, and if you want to see the spanish version you could enter my site. I would recommend a medium quality so you could watch it better. This is like 10 minutes long so please judge after watching it completely! I would apreciate helpful reviews! Enjoy!
Buenisima Darkaaaaaar! Beast and the harlot A7X :D!!!! lml
creo que esta animacion supero la leyenda de Melda
Did you notice?
As much as I love your flashes, this one wasn't that funny compared to others. Mainly because the subtitles aren't in english like you say, but are in spanish. ^ ^
Je je je.
Persona: Y..yo solo quería.
Darkar: Bueno, ¡¿es que ers estúpido?!, ¡¿acaso tus neuronas no son capaces de reaccionar entre si para entender que tu vida es miserable y no tiene nada que hacer aquí?!
Persona: Pe...pero *llanto*
XD Me gusto esa parte.
esperaba mas de ti :B

5 Awesome!KeanoComedy | 23/07/2007 | See all KeanoComedy's reviews (61)This is a very funny film. Great plot, great characters, great acting. The setting is highly commendable and the script shone throughout. Great for the comedy lovers. 5 Star Family Favourite.
4 good for the kidsbalmoraljames | 13/06/2009 | See all balmoraljames's reviews (228)Top 100 DVD Reviewer This is a great film for the children, it has a fair amount of gun pointing (if your anti that and don't want your kids exposed then this will offend, although they are never fired). The film has some good comedy moments but doesn't feature the adventures of a Kangaroo it more about 2 friends starnded in the desert running from the mob. The friends have had a hit put out on them. The Film is very well acted and if you can get bthrough the American cheese sentimentality then the Mums and Dads in the room will be entertained. It is not charming like the Disney stable of films or have the appeal of Roger Rabbit but it is a great movie as I bought it for my Children aged 5 and 7 and they loved it. Well worth the money.
3 Not Bad at all"Gorgeus Locations!stuntmanmike | 01/09/2008 | See all stuntmanmike's reviews (197)Top 100 Music Reviewer As Adventure kids films go"that Adults can also enjoy as well"Kangeroo jack gives it a good shot.Its short,Looks great,and has a smattering of impressive Fun Action scenes"probably due to the the fact that the guy behined"Con air and Armagedden"is on production duties.The character of Kangeroo jacks actually a bit player popping up occasionally"the films more of a Buddy movie about two dudes in a strange land getting into scrapes.Id recommend Kangeroo jack for the kids and a guilty pleasure for The Adults.

The week is filled with challenging aspects, and also brings us a New Moon. Before I get into the day-to-day details, there are some interesting financial considerations coming up this week, and I want to alert you to them so you can watch whatever unfolds with an eye to the planetary aspects.
First, Venus, a planet associated with money, credit, and banking, is opposing Pluto and squaring Uranus. Transits of the faster-moving planets tend to trigger the longer-term outer planet aspects, and it's quite possible that there will be some major financial event on the global stage. Markets may be volatile.
Second, the chart of the New York Stock Exchange is getting hit with some important transits. Uranus and Pluto remain within orb of a conjunction and square to its Midheaven, respectively, and Venus squares the Midheaven mid-week. Also mid-week, the Mars-Saturn conjunction falls on the NYSE's natal Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, opposing Saturn, which also suggests market volatility.

Air Bleed System (ABS) takes the most secure valve con- nection known and adds a pressure release button making our Flip-Thread Chuck, Flex Hoses easier to use than ever before. ABS is only featured on genuine Lezyne products. ABS is patent pending worldwide.
ABS Flip-Thread Chuck
The Air Bleed System (ABS) is an in-line air pressure release valve built into Lezyne Flip-Thread Chucks and Flex Hoses. When using an ABS equipped Lezyne floor pump to inflate a Presta valve tube, pressing the ABS button releases the air back pressure. Releasing this back pressure allows for the easy removal of the Flip-Thread Chuck without the risk of unscrewing removable Presta valve cores. When inflating Schrader valve tubes, pressing the ABS button releases air from the tube to adjust tire pressure.ABS SPEED FLEX HOSE
The ABS Speed Flex Hose is the combination of three Lezyne features to make one of the most versatile Presta valve hand pump inflation hoses. One end threads onto the Presta valve for a secure and air tight connection that prevents damage during inflation. The other end is a Presta only Slip-Fit System connection for fast valve engagement. This hose offers speed and flexibility. The Speed Flex Hose is also equipped with the Air Bleed System (ABS). This allows users to release the air pressure in the pump hose making it easy to remove from the valve and eliminating the chance of unthreading removable Presta valve cores after inflation. The ABS Speed Flex Hose is available on the Carbon Road Drive and Road Drive HP hand pumps. Compatible with Presta valves only.FEATURED ON :

U.S.S. Ward |
Pearl Harbor, T.H. December 13, 1941. |
From: | Commanding Officer. |
To: |
The Commandant, Fourteenth Naval District. (1) Commander Destroyer Division EIGHTY. (2) Commander Inshore Patrol. |
Subject: | Sinking of a Japanese Submarine by U.S.S. Ward. |
The facts are as follows:
"We have attacked, fired upon, and dropped depth charges on a submarine operating in defensive sea areas."
Appearance of submarine: Cylindrical tube about 80 feet long with small oval shaped conning tower. It had no deck. It was painted dark green and was covered with moss indicating that it had been at sea for a considerable period.
Behavior during attack: In spite of the five minute run from the time of sighting and time of attack, the submarine apparently did not see or detect the Ward. It was making from 8 to 10 knots and was apparently bent on following the Antares into port. Exact distances are not known but at the time of the first shot the range was not more than 100 yards and for the second shot the range was 50 yards or less. The submarine passed very close to our stern.

There are two methods to participate in employee giving:
Each academic year, Boise State University invites its employees to give back in support of the program, department, or fund that matters most to them — and hundreds respond.
In fact, employees have contributed more than $3.6 million over the last ten years. On behalf of everyone at Boise State — especially our students — we'd like to thank our colleagues for their generosity as donors and dedication to this university.
Making a donation is a personal decision and our goal in University Advancement is to help each and every donor find a program or fund that aligns with their values. You can designate your gift to any fund, program, or department and if there is not a fund currently established that satisfies your philanthropic goals we can discuss with you how to create a new fund.
- By giving $5.00 per pay period, about the cost of a coffee in the Library, your total giving is $130 per year.
- By giving $10.00 per pay period, about the cost of dinner at the Table Rock Café, your total giving is $260 per year.
- By giving $38.50 per pay period grants you access to the President's Club, Boise State's elite leadership donor society recognizing gifts of $1,000 or more per year.
Again, thank you for your interest in employee giving to Boise State. If you have any questions please contact your colleagues in University Advancement at (208) 426-3276 or email@example.com

Good Value for money
Review by confirmed purchaser
I ordered a toilet brush and holder, when I received the item it was broken, (due to not being wrapped properly preventing the item from any damage whilst in transit). I phoned their customer service department, the advisor asked me to take a photo of the damage and e-mail it to them which i did, In no time at all they replied to my e-mail, apologised and said they would send me a replacement, Two days after, my replacement arrived wrapped in lots of bubble wrap to prevent any damage occuring again! I'm very pleased with my unbroken goods.

WTB Offense (self.ColoradoAvalanche)
submitted 1 year ago by Phosphorylate_Me
Seriously, where is it? Lande, Downie, and Radar are the only ones that can score? Disappointed at this road trip =(
[–]bcos4life 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Man. I was so optimistic going into the season. I thought this was the year to get over the hump.
[–]Appleanche 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
To be fair, this team is playing like shit.. but I'm not really sure how far this team can go.. I think this season makes or breaks this franchise for the next 5 years. I'm really worried about a potential fire sale this off season if the team is implodes this season and we're faced with years of rebuilding.
This team with decent coaching would score, but really not that much. Last year we were 25th in goals scored and besides adding PAP we've not really majorly improved. Hell, even though our D has constantly been the large question mark on our team (rightfully so with only 1 real #1/#2 guy in EJ and like 7 other 5/6 guys) we were middle of the pack last year in goals against.
We simply just don't have enough up front. Jones is decent.. Stastny has been invisible for seasons now, and fuck man Jaime McGinn is a career 0.27 PPG guy.. he simply doesn't belong near the first two lines at all. The fact that Steve Downie is being put into scoring position sort of shows how weak this team really is. He might be able to put points in given the ice time but we've already seen how many times both these guys (even with Downie out now) missed big time scoring chances that they should have buried.. that loses you games.
This why I want a real blockbuster guy to come into the Avs, overpay if needed.. next year the Avs should break the bank on Perry if he makes it to free agency.. form a line of Landeskog - Duchene - Perry and have one of the most dangerous lines in hockey. But most importantly he's still young and brings a lot of experience and leadership to the table as well as being the first legit 40-50 goal scoring threat the Avs have had since Sakic.
[–]asmodeanreborn 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I think the players we are fine, but it's obvious that the system isn't. When one player is struggling, it's on the player. When 10 players are struggling, it's most likely something else. When you can't even get a shot off on a 90 second 5 on 3, you know everything's broken.
I do agree it'd be nice to have another top pairing guy, but Wilson's been anything but a liability playing with EJ, and I think he's the bright spot on the team because of that (Mitchell's another one, but he's not going to produce in a top 6 role).
McGinn's doing everything right, but has been snake-bit big time, hitting posts and crossbars at least 3 times already. IF Stastny had actually tried to getting to some of Jones' and McGinn's rebounds, though, that whole line would have quite a few more points.
I honestly don't think somebody like Perry would change a thing. Aside from having another real PP quarterback (EJ should be this, he's just not well utilized as one), personnel should be fine. We can't even enter the zone correctly and with possession, talk about embarrassing! We'd obviously be a much better team with Lando - O'Reilly - Downie playing as well, but I think being without them for now has highlighted that there's no real structure to our strategy. Furthermore, it really appears as if the team has lost confidence in their coaches, and just the other day there was talk about people in Edmonton overhearing players saying something about being sick of Sacco. Rumor? Maybe... it wouldn't be the first time, though.
[–]Phosphorylate_Me[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Penalty after penalty. Zero production on the 2man advantage. Shut-out for the backup netminder. Time to concentrate on classwork rather than hockey.
[–]caprincrash 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
To be fair letting the backup get a shut-out when the backup is Lou is not as bad as it could be. But scoring 1 goal in 3 games is pretty brutal.
[–]asmodeanreborn 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Luongo's played 2 in a row. They mentioned in the intermission of the Hawks - Wild game that it appears Schneider may have lost his spot, because Luongo's been far more steady. That's or they're desperately showcasing Luongo because they're not happy with the trade offers.

Children affected/infected by AIDS have a difficult time attending school due to the fees due. Uniforms and supplies are needed, too. You can make a huge difference by paying for a year of school.
Children who have been orphaned or who are living with sick parents are in a difficult position when it comes to paying for school fees. In countries where school is supposedly free, children still must pay for uniforms, fees, food, school supplies and other items. With sick parents or no parent at all, these kids simply cannot fulfill these requirements, leaving them with no chance to attend school. This, in turn, sets them up for a difficult life, with no education.
Children who receive medication from AFCA will be given the chance to attend school by having their school fees paid on their behalf. This will allow them to learn and receive an education which they would have been able to attain on their own.
75 children will be able to attend school for one year - 28 in secondary school and the rest in primary school. If the children can graduate from school through the generosity of many, they will have the chance of rising out of poverty through work.

Cadiz Police are investigating a series of vehicle break-ins at Cracker Barrel from over the weekend.
A news release says Sgt. Chad Grace was called to Cracker Barrel around 8:40 Saturday morning to investigate four break-ins. The perpetrator had forced his way into four parked vehicles—even breaking out a window to get into at least one car.
Two of the victims were customers and two were employees, with a handgun taken from one of the vehicles.
Some of the stolen property was later found in nearby dumpster, though the stolen gun and some stolen cash were not recovered. Anyone with information on who may be responsible for the thefts should call Cadiz Police at 522-8369.

Abstract | A series of organometallic compounds containing the tris(dimethylsilyl)methyl ligand are described. The potassium carbanions KC(SiHMe2)(3) and {KC(SiHMe2)(3)-TMEDA}(2) are synthesized by deprotonation of the hydrocarbon HC(SiHMe2)(3) with potassium benzyl. {KC(SiHMe2)(3)-TMEDA}(2) crystallizes as a dimer with two types of three-center-two-electron K-H-Si interactions: side-on coordination of SiH (angle K-H-Si = 102(2)degrees) and more obtuse K-H-Si structures (angle K-H-Si approximate to 150 degrees). The divalent calcium and ytterbium compounds M{C(SiHMe2)(3)}(2)L (M = Ca, Yb; L = 2THF, TMEDA) are prepared from MI2 and 2 equiv of KC(SiHMe2)(3). Low (1)J(SiH) coupling constants in the NMR spectra, low-energy nu(SiH) bands in the IR spectra, and short M-Si distances and small M-C-Si angles in the crystal structures suggest beta-agostic interactions on each C(SiHMe2)(3) ligand. The IR assignments of M{C(SiHMe2)(3)}(2)L (L = 2THF, TMEDA) are supported by DFT calculations. The compounds M{C(SiHMe2)(3)}(2)L react with 1 or 2 equiv of B(C6F5)(3) to give the 1,3-disilacyclobutane {Me2SiC(SiHMe2)(2)}(2) and MC(SiHMe2)(3)HB(C6F5)(3)L or M{HB(C6F5)(3)}(2)L, respectively. In addition, M{C(SiHMe2)(3)}(2)L compounds react with BPh3 to give beta-H abstracted products. The compounds M{C(SiHMe2)(3)}(2)THF2 react with SiMe3I to yield Me3SiH and disilacyclobutane as the products of beta-H abstraction, while M{C(SiHMe2)(3)}(2)TMEDA and Me3SiI form a mixture of Me3SiH and the alkylation product Me3SiC(SiHMe2)(3) in a 1:3 ratio. |

Opinion: Developers, are you ready for round 2 of the smartphone wars?
Apple and co. press the reset button
Given many are pitching iPhone 5 as the product of a company switching strategy from innovation to consolidation, it might seem odd to suggest the current smartphone market as one gripped by change.
On the surface, iPhone 5 smacks of an Apple content with the current state of play. 2 million pre-orders placed in the device's first 24 hours on sale suggests such a feeling wouldn't be without merit, either. But it's this very switch from an Apple striving to set the smartphone benchmark by all means possible to one secure in the knowledge that incremental updates will sell in their millions that highlights the changeover. As iPhone secures its top billing, so its rivals are finally branching from from merely aping iOS to actually taking it on. Welcome, one and all, to the smartphone wars, version 2.0. No risk, more reward? If we accept Apple's supposedly strategy switch as an intentional one, it's reasonable now to suggest the wheels of such a phase were actually set in motion after the launch of iPhone 4. Said device was, in the eyes of many, the last major – and potentially risky – update to the basic iPhone mould. But, as commentators across the web have noted, while smaller steps forward with iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 have led to press reveals less energised by excitement, Apple's shift to secure its userbase through more modest updates to both iPhone and iOS alike is not without precedent. Microsoft's Windows 8 is set to rewrite the rule book when it comes to the platform's UI. It's taken countless versions over the course of the last 20 years for the company to fundamentally alter its approach, however. When consumers are used to a particular model and, happily or not, they lap it up in their millions, why risk rocking the boat with something they may not understand? As such, it seems those calling for a radical change to iOS's UI and a more daring upgrade to iPhone's hardware with its next device are likely to be left high and dry for some time. Until it deems its rivals a credible threat to its market share, at least. Ready to go Which – as I'm sure you may have guessed by now – I personally think they are. It may have taken a court case or two to do it, but Samsung is finally finding its own space. I'm no fan of such legal challenges, but I do think Apple's insistence that the Korean giant's initial clutch of Galaxy devices to closely mirrored its own handsets was valid. Samsung's Galaxy S III, however, looks entirely difference, and – some ill-advised anti-Apple marketing aside – the firm has now amassed a loyal userbase who see Samsung as delivering more than an iPhone-like experience on Android. Samsung is now confident enough to begin to go its own way. There's also the question of Windows Phone. Samsung's forthcoming WP8 device - the Ativ S – looks like a more serious assault on the market than its existing Omnia 7. While Android devices remains susceptible to a legal challenge by Tim Cook and co., so Apple's rivals will be forced to bring in a level of flexibility to their strategy that, until now, has not been deployed. The idea of all non-Apple OEMs adopting Android and only Android by default is fast dying. Firefox, a rejuvenated MeeGo and even BlackBerry 10 in consideration, the contest between operating systems is one that's still expanding, not narrowing There is another way... Nokia, too – presentational fumbles aside – now appears to be back in the game. The Finnish firm's second round of Lumia handsets gained a lot more praise from journalists and bloggers alike than its initial range did – particularly in the US. Indeed, it's a testament to the impression the Lumia 920 has made so far that the main criticism most have made is that Nokia is yet to allow people to part with their cash for one. So enthused are they, that the lack of a pre-order process is the main pain. How things change. In round one of the smartphone wars, Nokia's decision to adopt Windows Phone was initiall view as two fallen giants hugging each other closely for some forth of warmth in an increasingly cold market – a move likely to hasten both firm's demise in the mobile market rather than enhance their positions. Now, those behind Windows Phone are receiving plaudits – if not yet a rush of sales – for the decision to deliver something entirely different to the iOS model. The contrast between the two platforms may have initially made handset's running Microsoft's OS as a harder sell, but there's little doubting the security Windows Phone – and Microsoft's bulging library of patents – provides OEMs looking to avoid the eye of Apple's legal department with another route to market. It's not over yet All this is good news for the consumer. A third platform to challenge the top two? Yes please. An Android ecosystem where manufacturers are forced to offer distinctly different handsets to the market leader? That would be great. And, most importantly, a market where challengers result in Apple abandoning its new found conservatism in order to stay ahead of the pack? That would be great. For developers, iOS is the platform to bet on right now – it's popular, it's stable, and for the lucky few, it's profitable. But we can't afford this market to get stale. We can't afford for Apple to roll out handsets that simply meet out expectations, rather than go beyond them. The industry needs to drive forward, and that only happens when all those involved are competitive, fluid, and prepared to take risks. For developers, however, such statements are scary. Just as the majority are bedding down in a market will still don't truly understand – try asking successful studios for the formula for a hit smartphone game, and most won't have one to hand – so any acceleration in innovation threatens to muddy the waters further. But that's what drew consumers to smartphones in their millions in the first place: the sheer speed at which iPhone and co. changed the way we used mobiles for the better. Five years on, it's time for another dose of that kind of spirit. It's time for round two.

Official Title ICMJE | A Phase 2, Multicentre, Single Arm, Pilot Study to Assess the Efficacy and the Safety of 150 mg Twice a Day Oral DF2156A in Patients With Active Bullous Pemphigoid. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Brief Summary | The study will be a phase 2, multicentre, single arm, pilot study. It has been designed to determine if DF2156A has sufficient activity to warrant its further development. A total of twelve (12) BP patients will be involved, who will be administered DF2156A orally at the dose of 150 mg twice a day for a maximum of 14 days. Recruitment will be competitive among the study sites, until the planned number of patients is enrolled. Competitive recruitment has been chosen to increase the speed of recruitment and to account for any unexpected occurrence at a site that negatively impact enrolment rate. The single arm design has been chosen as an appropriate tool for this pilot phase 2 study, considering that BP is a rare disease where a placebo control is not acceptable. Moreover, as there is no spontaneous acute recovery from the active blistering condition, any improvement in patient outcome can be attributed to a positive effect of the Investigational Product. Each patient will be involved in the study for a screening period, for 14 days of treatment, for all required measurements up to hospital discharge (planned on day 8+1 of treatment) and for one assessment occasion on day 15+1, either during hospital stay or after hospital discharge (out-patient visit). An optional post-treatment visit might be scheduled at day 30+3. The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether DF2156A has a potential in improving the clinical outcome in patients with active blistering BP to warrant its further development. The safety of DF2156A in the specific clinical setting will be also evaluated. |

I can do everything except get the actual font size to increase!
I know some people will disagree* but I say: don't specify an absolute font size at all. Your user already has a default. At worst it's their browser's built-in default that they're accustomed to seeing. At best it's a preference that they've intentionally changed.
If you say nothing about font size, the page will come out in the user's default size. Anything you express as a proportion
1.2 = 1.2em = 120%
will build outward from that size.
Inline for testing:

two-thirds

document default

one and a half

Now shift that to the CSS and you're good to go.

Hello, Michael! ><>< Thanks for your great story and pictures... I was very impressed....
This is a very interesting page, with lots of superb pics and useful tips. Best regards from Kleinzell1 Maggy
seems like very picturesque place to visit. to be true i remember good the bridges :-)
Michael, very interesting page about the Semmering. I especially find the transportation tips helpful. As you know I only made it to Muerzzuschlag on a daytrip from Vienna. :-)
A wonderful page Michael! Definitely a place we need to visit to see the Edelweiss! I had some butterflies do the same to me atop Sonnenstein on the Traunsee.
Edelweiss and a delicious pastry with hiking in between sounds excellent!
Your page makes me want to go and see the Edelweiss and the grashoppers myself. Wonderful pics and stories!
Unfortunately I did not visit the Semmering while I was living/working in Vienna for 2 years (the reason is that my home is near Innsbruck) but it is really interesting and shows that Vienna is in some sense an Alpine city.
Hi Michael, Semmering is a beautiful place which I will visit it if I were to come to vienna again :)
A visit to a train museum then coffee and applestrudel in the beautiful Austrian countryside, with those wonderful mountains in Semmering sounds so appealing right now writing from hot & humid Budapest! Tim

OVERVIEW: Old man winter will still be around for a few more weeks! This is an excellent time to catch some of the largest fish of the year! Fish will begin to feed heavily after the long cold winter as they prepare to spawn. Water temperature will be in the upper 40's to near 60.
Ah, springtime!
"Wait," you might be thinking. "Spring is still a couple of weeks away."
True, according to folks who figure such things out, spring doesn't become official until March 20. That's when the Vernal Equinox takes place.
Capitol Square was busy this week, with both the House and the Senate unveiling – and ultimately approving – their respective versions of Virginia's biennial budget. In even-numbered years, the General Assembly is responsible for approving a two-year spending plan for the Commonwealth.
Senator Steve Newman 23rd District
Virginia's Capitol enjoyed warmer temperatures this week, while inside the Capitol the Senate of Virginia and the House of Delegates unveiled their respective plans to the Commonwealth's two-year budget.
By Delegate Terry Austin 19th District
Budget Debate on the budget began this week in the General Assembly. Many important issues will be decided through the budget this year. Perhaps the most important topic that we will discuss as a part of the budget is the future of Medicaid. The budget will eventually go into a conference with six members of both the House and the Senate who will help to find a compromise. I encourage you to follow along as we continue to discuss amendments to the budget.
Important Bills
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced recently that the military downsize we've needed for so long will now be proposed in the next round of budgeting. Hagel said it is his intention to reduce the size of the U.S. Army to numbers not seen since before the second world war. The Army National Guard and the Marines, too, would see reductions in their forces. Hagel also plans to renew the closings of U.S. military bases, following up on the base closing commission work of the recent past.
You get what you pay for. Or in this case, who you vote for. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's administration has shown its true colors from Day 1 of taking office, so nothing should surprise us now. But it is a little disheartening that a bill to uphold the constitutional rights of the commonwealth's citizens is so easily dismissed by the governor.
Whether in the form of new regulations on businesses or mandates on families created under the new health care law, increasing executive overreach and government abuse is only growing the size and scope of the federal government. This trend is not the way to spur the economic growth and job creation our nations needs.

Clean lines, solid steel. We think the furniture speaks for itself.

Charleston Forge has a long history of hand-building, beautiful, high quality, steel, wood, and leather furniture. We have an extensive catalog of products and do a large amount of custom work and have built product for retailers such as Room & Board, Restoration Hardware, Crate & Barrel and Bloomingdales, just to name a few.
Introducing our New Collections
Clean lines, solid steel. We think the furniture speaks for itself.
The 2012 Charleston Forge Annual Sale!
Rue La La and the Orange Event
Have you heard about Rue La La yet? Rue La La is an awesome site dedicated to all things shopping. Items range from children's clothing and accessories, to name brand design, purses, shoes, clothing, and even furniture (of course they carry furniture... and OUR furniture too.) These limited number items all sell for spectacular deals and come with a time limit. Once the sale is over, its over.
Rue La La holds events, today they are having the "Orange Event." Starting at 11am, all things orange are featured and at incredible prices. Charleston Forge has three drink tables featured on the front page of the event.
If you dont have an account, be sure to head on over and create one... its a shoppers paradise.
The Original Cascade Table
Vicki Krueger, right, of West Jefferson, NC is seen with me, Art Barber, company chairman, when Vicki came by our Boone, NC facility last week to pick up the Cascade Drink Table she won during the Facebook competition the we held earlier this year. Vicki received the very first of these tables that we built. The competition asked Facebook fans to suggest names for the new product and to get their friends to "Like" their idea.
Vicki, a kindergarten teacher at Two Rivers Community School in Boone, toured the company's factory with her husband, Steve, and got to see the manufacturing process up-close from start to finish. During the tour Vicki got to meet Ernie Houser, one of the company's team of long-serving employees and the artisan who built the prototype that she now owns.
"I am truly thankful for the opportunity to own such a beautiful piece and have the opportunity to win it through the Facebook contest," said Vicki. "Knowing that my table is from right here in the United States makes it more special to me."
The hammered steel base of the table is one of the signature looks of Charleston Forge furniture and is similar to the company's Hudson collection. It is complemented by a unique cast-glass top. The Cascade was introduced at the High Point Furniture Market in April 2011 and has been added to the catalog following a very strong reception from buyers and designers there.
As always, thanks for your interest.
