News : Porterfield rues lack of application
Junaid Khan
Ireland v Pakistan at Belfast
Pakistan tour of Ireland
Ireland's first game since their World Cup heroics proved a disappointment for the 2000 spectators that turned up to see the first of the two-ODI series against Pakistan, who won by seven wickets with more than eight overs to spare. A typically steely grey, showery Belfast day, prevented play from commencing until 2pm. And with conditions helpful to the seamers, Junaid Khan ripped the Ireland middle order apart with four wickets in five overs. A 38-over game was the original plan - and a 36-over one after a short break - but Ireland conspired to reduce it further when they were bowled out in exactly 20 overs.
The total of 96 was pitiful - Ireland's lowest since the 2007 World Cup Super Eights - especially after Paul Stirling had thrilled the home fans with a startling innings of 39 off just 22 balls. Stirling, 20, who also plays for Middlesex, had finished off his World Cup with a match-winning 100 off 71 balls against Netherlands, and was on a similar trajectory here as he helped himself to seven fours and a six.
His opening partner was Ed Joyce, who switched places in the order with William Porterfield. Joyce had been keen to move up during the World Cup, but coach Phil Simmons resisted changing an established opening pair. But Porterfield was soon replacing Joyce, dismissed by Tanvir Ahmed.
Stirling took a liking to Tanvir, who bowled too short. His next over went for 19, including an enormous six over mid-on. Stirling took 12 off Umar Gul's next over, and clipped Junaid's first ball to the boundary when he came on to bowl the sixth over. Four balls later he was gone, skying the ball to cover where Mohammed Hafeez sprinted 20 yards, and dived full length. From 44 for 1, Ireland steadily lost wickets as Junaid made good use of the seaming conditions.
Alex Cusack, promoted to No.4 in the absence of the injured Niall O'Brien, was bowled in the last over of the Powerplay, which yielded 49 runs and three wickets. Porterfield followed for 4, caught behind trying to fend off a rising ball from Gul. Kevin O'Brien, having exchanged his dyed pink hair for his natural orange, gave his fans a small taste of his World Cup pyrotechnics. But, on 15, he tried to cart Junaid through the covers and saw his stumps demolished.
Soon enough, Ireland were floundering at 66 for 6. Gary Wilson, who replaced Niall O'Brien behind the stumps, briefly showed his World Cup batting form before the rain returned. After a 20-minute break the innings was recalculated as 36 overs. But there was little chance as many overs would be required; the Ireland batsmen failed to cope with a disciplined attack in tricky conditions. Saeed Ajmal claimed 3 for 7 off his three overs, including Trent Johnston and Boyd Rankin off successive balls. Younis Khan, who had taken two wickets in his previous 221 ODIs, induced John Mooney to carve to cover and a three-figure score proved beyond Ireland.
Rankin and Johnston bowled nine overs before the interval, which were negotiated safely by Taufeeq Umar and Mohammed Hafeez. Hafeez's six into the trees at square leg off Rankin gave the large Pakistani contingent more to sing about. The openers continued steadily towards their target after tea, and had made it to 73 when Stirling took a sharp catch at slip off Cusack.
Cusack's gentle medium-pace fetched him three wickets but Ireland had too little on the board, and the end came with 8.3 overs to spare.
"We've let a lot of people down today", Porterfield admitted. "We played too many poor shots on that wicket, nobody got their head down to forge a partnership. It wasn't a gung-ho situation, but too many of the batsmen made poor decisions."
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq was happy with the result, his first success in his new phase as ODI captain, achieved in conditions vastly different to those they experienced four days earlier on the other side of the North Atlantic. It was some measure of revenge for the only previous ODI meeting between the sides, the famous Ireland victory at Sabina Park in the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup. A small group of Pakistan fans chanted "No more Ijaz Butt" during the presentation ceremony. The Man-of-the-Match award was deservedly picked up by Junaid.

I am new to programming symbian applications and I just dont get it right when I try to get started. I am using Borland C++ Builder X (or MS Visual Studio .NET 2003) and I would really appriciate if someone could tell me how to install the sdk for series 60.
I have tried to:
* install the "S60_SDK_2_1_NET", (which seems to work)
* configuring Borland C++ Builder X to use the obove mentioned sdk (it didn't complain when I did that).....
....BUT, when I try to import and compile a symbian application it the compilation ends with the following error message
BLDMAKE ERROR: Directory "\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v21\Epoc32\EPOC32\" does not exist
Build cancelled due to errors
Obviously there is a directory missing, infact I can se in the directory structure that the last directory "EPOC32" (in the above path) doesnt exist.
The problem is why?? I mean I havent done enything else than following the instructions?!?!
I would really appriciate help on this one!

What's appropriate — and inappropriate — to give a Jewish friend or colleague for Hanukkah?
If you're seriously dating a Jewish guy and want to give his mother something for the holidays — and you don't want to blow it — what are the unspoken guidelines? If your family celebrates Christmas, and your child's best friend is Jewish, what and when is it nice to give a Hanukkah gift? Or suppose you work with someone who's Jewish, and you want to get them a Christmas present: should you?
Best Kept Secret About Hanukkah: It Isn't the Jewish Christmas
First of all, an important factoid: Hanukkah isn't really the "Jewish Christmas," in Brooklyn or anywhere else, for that matter.
It's a relatively minor Jewish holiday, one that's much less important in Jewish religious terms than Christmas is to Christians.
That said, especially in the United States, Hanukkah has taken on a gift-giving dimension. Why? Because it just happens to occur around the month of December, during the Christmas shopping season.
New! 10 Ways to Know if Your Boss or Client Celebrates Hanukkah
8 DO's & DON'TS of HANUKKAH GIFT GIVING
In the interests of holiday cheer, here are eight practical "Do's and Don'ts" for Hanukkah gift giving — eight tips in honor of the eight nights of Hanukkah.-
DON'T Give Ham for Hanukkah. Not everyone who's Jewish cares about eating kosher food. Most Jewish New Yorkers don't. Even so, as a gift giver, the last thing you want to do is stir up legendary Jewish guilt. Generally, avoid food baskets overflowing with such goodies as Canadian bacon, fancy dried shrimp, Serrano ham, Italian blood sausage, a box of pretty cookies decorated like Santa, or Christmas fruitcake.
On the other hand, if your Jewish friend is a foodie or has a particular yen for non-kosher food, try a gift certificate to the popular, hipster-run eatery in Brooklyn ironically called Traif and, equally ironically, located very near the Hasidic community in Williamsburg.
- DO Gives: DO give books, clothes, toys, electronics, equipment, booze, jewelry, trips to Paris or the moon, cash, gifts of time such as free babysitting or a work shift at the Park Slope Food Coop, or donations to charity. As for gifts of food, see above.
- DON'T Be Color Blind: Pass on Those PJs with the Red-and-Green Reindeer Motif. Christmas colors are red and green. Hanukkah colors are blue and white.
- DO Give It During the Holiday. If it's a Hanukkah gift, then try to give it in a timely fashion, meaning during Hanukkah. That shouldn't be hard — this holiday runs for eight days! When is Hanukkah this year? Renegade Crafts Fair 2013 (before Chanukah)
- When is the last night of Hanukkah this year?
- DON'T Give a Christmas Creche for Hanukkah. In the same vein as #3 above, don't give a Hanukkah gift emblazoned with Santas, candy canes, winter snowflakes, or Christmas trees. Unless the recipient of your gift loves kitsch, avoid giving that hand-crafted Christmas creche, even if you schlepped it all the way to Brooklyn from the flea market in Venice.
DO Rely on Traditional Hanukkah Gifts, If You're Uncertain. It's always a safe bet to give something traditional.
For children, the equivalent of Christmas stocking-stuffers are a dreidel (a special toy top with Hebrew letters on each side), or little bags of chocolate wrapped in gold paper to look like coins.
For adults, consider beautiful menorah candles, fine cooking oil, or a Jewish cook book. That said, your friend or colleague might prefer a foodie experience, such as a cooking class at The Kitchen in Williamsburg to a Passover cookbook collecting dust in a crowded Carroll Gardens apartment.
DON'T Wrap a Hanukkah Gift in Christmas wrapping. Avoid wrapping a Hanukkah gift in Christmas wrapping paper; books may be an endangered species but they are still judged by their covers.
If you buy wrapping paper, select a generic pattern or splurge on special Hanukkah wrapping (even though it may be overpriced and when you unroll it there'll be less of it than you expect.) Or, go green, and artfully recycle an old section of The New York Times or brown wrapping paper from your last batch of shirts from the Chinese laundry.
Ditto the gift card: buy, use or make a Hanukkah card, or use a global-peace themed card from a charity such as UNICEF, but for the sake of consistency, don't put a Christmas card on your Hanukkah gift. Or, make a combo of Christmas-Hanukkah gift wrap for mixed-faith families (see photo).
- DON'T Enroll Your Friend on J-Date.com for Hanukkah. Finally, if your Jewish friend is single, don't enroll him or her on JDate, despite its siren song marketing as "the modern way for Jewish people to find love." Why? Because that gift is reserved for Jewish mothers.

Escaped her land, her veil,
Slipped the oppressing shroud,
She came so free,
Walked so tall and proud,
From Persia and France,
She would never say Iran,
She claimed her source.
Did I imagine her mystery,
Did I myself beguile,
No, I recall old shards of pleasures,
Reminiscing freshly tasted
Reharvested moments of the exquisite.
She was the luring desert,
Oasis richly blessed, that gave enriched life.

Was happy to see these back in stock. Bought 6 sets to string in our backyard, thought I would have extra, but my husband and I went crazy stringing them everywhere, so much so that we needed more. Was so sad to see they didn't have them any more. Glad I waited, as Target got them back in and was able to buy more (was to cheap to buy them elsewhere online because they were charging [$] per string). Wish I could upload a photo of how great they look. They give a great party feel to our backyard. see less

I've purchased 6 spools of these lights, and not a single have been tangled up as the previous reviewer posted. They have easily unwound from the spool. I had one set of lights where part of the string wouldn't light up, and I easily exchanged it for another set at the store. Overall, these are great lights. I shopped around quite a bit, including at Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, Ace/Best Value hardware stores, and found these commercial grade lights to be priced the best. Great lights, great value, reputable manufacturer, and ready to go off the spool! I would definitely purchase them again. see less

I thought the lights on the spool would make it easier. However, the lights were not put on properly and in fact were incredibly tangled. We therefore had to untangle it, and one of the lights broke in the process. Once we got the lights up, we were pleased overall. However, I don't think I would buy more of these lights again because of how tangled they were initially. see less

I wanted some fun lights to hang on our porch this summer. I ordered these and was surprised at how cheap they look. I guess if you look really closely at the picture, you could maybe see the big seam that runs around the entire circumference of the bulb, as well as some molded plastic bits that appear every so often along the inside edge. I of course did not notice this, and was expecting a round bulb with no seams. Maybe if they were hidden on a christmas tree they would be okay, but these lights do not cut it to hang up on my porch where they will be in plain sight. So not what I was expecting from Target, which usually has very high quality stuff at good prices. see less

This LED garland is a nice quality garland with a white light (no blue hue which is often the case with "white" LED lights), however, the main strand itself is quite thick. The photo doesn't show the actual size of the main garland very well. I bought this strand to weave in my ornament wreath, but could not do so as it was about three times the thickness of a regular set of lights. Not necessarily a problem unless you need something thin. The strand found a nice home on my mantle and the timer works quite well, with options for flashing or still lights. Overall a great product, especially compared to other battery operated light strands. However, just be aware that the main strand is quite bulky see less

The box was delivered by UPS-box was ripped in at least 3 places and smashed. and left on my porch where water was dripping-so the box was soaked when I got home. While not Target's fault, they use the original box for shipping-that box was cheap and didn't hold up. Last time I ordered a foot stool-had the same problem-no packing and it was damaged.

Bison defense has high expectations
Football defense looks to repeat national champion success
Published: Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 15:08
Defense wins championships. The old sports cliché was no more evident than last year when the NDSU football team went on a historic run to their first Division I national championship.
The nation took notice as the Bison defense conquered every obstacle they faced in their playoff run. Whether it was the running game of James Madison, Lehigh's aerial attack, the triple option attack from Georgia Southern or the top ranked offense of Sam Houston State in the championship game, NDSU shut it down.
This year, with all defensive starters having game time experience, the Bison unit may very well be looked upon as the best in the nation.
Although cornerback Marcus Williams is the only All-American on the squad, there are multiple players who are worthy of that honor. Williams is a part of a highly touted secondary that teams may have a difficult time passing against. On the other side of Williams is cornerback Brendin Pierre, who saw playing time two years ago but was unable to play on last year's championship team due to academics. Colton Heagle, a hard-hitting strong safety, has been listed on a few preseason All-American polls and is almost a fourth linebacker on the field for the Herd.
That is a definite luxury to have because the talent is there for the Bison linebackers, but the depth is not. Grant Olson looks to man the middle for NDSU. A huge recruit for the Bison, Olson finally has the chance to hit the field after backing up four-year starter Preston Evans for the previous two years. Travis Beck and Carlton Littlejohn are young, but highly athletic outside backers with a perfect combination of speed and physicality.
This linebacking corps will have plenty of help to stop the run game from a scary good defensive line. Leevon Perry has a chance to do huge things at his defensive tackle position. Listed at 280 pounds, the former high school quarterback has freakish athletic ability. At that end, NDSU has two playmaking players in Kyle Emanuel and Cole Jirik who will provide a solid pass rush.
The Bison defense, if they remain healthy, should have no problem curbing any offensive attack that comes their way each Saturday. High expectations are lingering, but this unit has the experience and skill to not disappoint. The saying will always stay the same in sports: defense wins championships. NDSU is looking to prove that once again.

After 256 days in court, the £850m misfeasance claim, brought by the liquidators of the Bank of Credit & Commerce International (BCCI) against the Bank of England, sensationally collapsed last Wednesday (2 November).
Essex Court Chambers' Gordon Pollock QC appeared briefly to inform Mr Justice Tomlinson and the Bank of England's legal team, including Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and six barristers, that the Chancellor of the High Court had ruled that the claim should be discontinued.
Although the timing came as a surprise, the Bank of England's lead counsel, Fountain Court Chambers' Nicholas Stadlen QC, told the court that the Bank of England had anticipated that the claim might collapse. He was therefore able to deliver a scripted statement slamming the way the case had been run by the claimants - although the only representatives of Deloitte in court to hear it were junior counsel Nathan Pillow and a Lovells lawyer.
"It is," said Stadlen, "in my respectful submission, nothing short of a scandal that it has taken so very, very long for the claimants to bow to the inevitable."
The liquidators' legal team came under attack as Stadlen condemned Lovells partner Christopher Grierson for making comments about the case to the media, and Pollock for his "discourtesy and, indeed, downright rudeness" directed at the Bank of England and Tomlinson J.
He criticised Deloitte's persistence in cross-examining key witnesses even while the discontinuance hearings were ongoing. He said: "Their inhumanity seemed to have no bounds dictated either by decency or compassion." The collapse raises serious questions for claimant lawyers regarding the advice they should give to clients over pursuing similar large claims and the need to juggle responsibilities to shareholders or creditors with the likelihood of victory.
The news was described by Stadlen as a "bombshell". Neither the defendants nor Tomlinson J knew the case had collapsed before Pollock's announcement.
Later it came to light that the English Liquidation Committee of BCCI, which represents the views of the bank's creditors, had passed a resolution on 23 September that the litigation should be discontinued. A three-day hearing held in private before the Chancellor, Sir Andrew Morritt, resulted in last week's decision.
It may have been that Deloitte was hoping for a ruling in its favour from the Chancellor, despite the views of the Liquidation Committee. The liquidators' statement, released last week, blames the bank for delays caused by the initial strike-out applications and arguments over disclosure, both of which went to the House of Lords. It also attacks the bank for not agreeing to settle out of court. Given the collapse of Deloitte's claim, this is seen by many City litigators as unfair.
Last week's events, coupled with the recent settlement of the Equitable Life case, raise questions about the way the legal system is working. One senior City litigator said that the end of both cases shows that defendants are now less willing to give in to claims of fraud, negligence and similar allegations.
Others agree with Stadlen that BCCI ought to have been dropped years ago and say that lawyers in the future are going to have to consider very carefully the advice given to potential claimants about pursuing such claims.

"Thanks," Hergunna says to Carolina and Kane as they drop the big lizard, clearing her path. She darts forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Kruk next to the naga, and studies the huge creature carefully. Then she flings her arms wide, sending a storm of thorns at both foes. The sharp projectiles pierce both foes in multiple locations. The naga screams as the druid's careful aim sends a number of projectiles straight into its open mouth and down its throat.

Kruk sees a chance to attack the giant serpent, and goes for it, creating a huge gash into the serpent's side. Lieth hisses in pain, much to the delight of Kruk, who now seems to have caught a second wind after nearly meeting his death just a few moments before.

As Kruk lashed out against the Snake, he watched the giant serpent fall to the ground, limp; the dwarf's final blow was a mortal one.
"NO! What have you done!" the Adept screamed. Stumbling forward, it slammed it's staff to the ground. "Akneth! Protect Us!" A red energy swirled around Adept and two of its fallen allies. Startling Kruk and Hergunna, the dead snake in front of them rose back to life, as did the Scaleshaper.
The Giant snake lashed out at Kruk with it's tail, but the attack was easy to deflect.
The Scaleshaper, slow to get up, targetted the two big men with its mind. The attack on Kane missed, but Kruk's head rung loudly, causing blood to drip from his ears, and his movement to be slowed.

Wil grits his teeth and mutters I told them, I told them. He fires his bow at the far adept, hoping to catch it before it breathes more life into their foes. The arrow flies true and the creature is befuddled. He drops from the wagon and moves towards the creature. You will not get away!

Kane still struggles against the naga's lightning blast that struck him, seemingly forever ago, and with no enemies around him, the bugbear looked to be unable to do anything. Luckily, his time with Carolina had taught him some things about throwing weapons and magic. It took Kane quite some time to master, especially with the somewhat unbalanced waraxes, but he did it.
Kane reared back and hurled his enchanted weapon at the naga, it caught the beast and dealt a glancing blow. Kane had been unable to get all his weight behind the toss as his legs were rooted in place, but the sight of the creature's blood is enough to drive the barbarian to throw off the lingering effect.
"You watch out now lizardmans...Kane is ready for more fun!" he calls out, as the thrown axe reappears in his right hand and the bugbear has a wide, toothy grin.

DETROIT (AP) — Jamey Carroll hit an RBI single in the 10th inning and the Minnesota Twins beat Detroit 2-1 Sunday, winning both games of a doubleheader to prevent the Tigers from at least tying the Chicago White Sox atop the AL Central.
Chicago still has a one-game lead in the division despite extending its losing streak to five with a 4-1 loss earlier in the day against the Los Angeles Angels.
Detroit closer Jose Valverde (3-4) allowed pinch-hitter Denard Span to lead off the extra inning with a single and gave up a one-out, fall-behind single to Carroll.
Jared Burton (2-1) got the win and Glen Perkins pitched a perfect 10th for his 14th save in 17 chances.

Drouin Jumps to World Record in Heptathlon
IU senior Derek Drouin was a surprise entry in the heptathlon at the Big Ten Track and Field Championship Meet. When it came time for the heptathlon's high jump, Drouin was a heavy favorite to score big points.
Drouin did a little bit more than that.
After a successful jump at 2.24m (7-4.25), Drouin raised the bar to 2.27m (7-5.25) for an attempt at a new world record for high jump in a heptathlon. Drouin cleared that bar to set the record, but wasn't done yet.
Drouin moved the bar up to 2.30m (7-6.5) and cleared that as well. He called it an event and stepped out without making any more attempts.
Drouin entered the heptathlon high jump sitting in fifth place. By the end of the event, he had moved up to first with 3358 points. The high jump concluded day one's heptathlon activity and will conclude tomorrow with the 60m hurdles, pole vault and 1000m run.
Drouin adds a world record to a resume that already includes three national titles and an Olympic bronze medal. He will compete later in the men's high jump event and the conclusion of the heptathlon.

There is an epidemic that is causing a crisis for millions of coffee farmers in Central America: Coffee rust. Rust is a parasitic fungus that attacks coffee plants. In Central America, the coffee rust epidemic this year has ravaged crops, affected the livelihoods of more than 2 million people, and caused loss of more than 500,000 jobs. Guatemala and other countries have declared national states of emergency. Total coffee loss for the region is estimated at 20% to 30% this year, and as much as 50% in 2014. This crisis is shattering the already-fragile safety net of millions of people who are dependent on coffee for their livelihoods.
How did this happen, and why is the situation so dire? Climate change is one of the key reasons. Changes in both temperature and rainfall likely contributed to this unusual outbreak. Warming temperatures at higher altitudes and moisture accumulation are likely allowing the rust to thrive.
Because of our ever-growing demand for coffee, coffee growers have not diversified their production or their income enough to be resilient in the face of the coffee rust outbreak. Instead, they've put more and more of their land into coffee production to meet that demand. A recent Catholic Relief Services survey of the impacts of coffee rust on smallholder farmers in Central America reports that on average, only 23 percent of farmers had access to income-generating activities besides coffee farming, and an overwhelming majority— 90-95 percent — are entirely dependent on coffee for their income.
What are we doing about it? Food 4 Farmers has one focus: to help coffee co-operatives and other coffee-growing organizations fight hunger by diversifying farmers' livelihoods. We work with communities, to build long-term plans and implement effective strategies so farmers can produce food for income or personal consumption, and feed their families, every day. Our initial phase of work — the diagnostic and plan — is completed within weeks, and strategies to implement solutions, like cocoa production, school gardens, beekeeping, community and home gardens, and processed foods, can be up and running within months.
Please visit the rest of our site to see how we work with coffee-growing communities to address food insecurity.
This year is a warning bell for coffee growers across Latin America — next year, their situation will be much worse. Please help coffee farmers and their families build resilience to the coffee rust crisis NOW. Donate here.
Hunger is an issue for coffee-growing families.
Worldwide, one in six people experience hunger and poverty. This is especially true in rural areas in developing countries where coffee is grown, and is a hardship faced by millions of coffee farmers and their families.
Most coffee farmers depend almost exclusively on income from their coffee harvest. This dependency on one crop has created a crisis. Farmers are extremely vulnerable to coffee price fluctuations, and have nothing to fall back on if prices drop, or crops fail. As a result, millions of coffee farmers and their families cannot put enough food on the table for months at a time – year after year.
Food 4 Farmers works with coffee communities in Latin America to address the problem of chronic seasonal hunger in coffee-growing communities.
"Even producers who receive fair trade premiums suffer a period of food insecurity ranging from one to seven months of the year – every year."CIAT, on behalf of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
After the Harvest: Fighting Hunger in the Coffeelands
"After the Harvest: Fighting Hunger in the Coffeelands" has won the Biodiversity Award at Festival delle Terre, a film festival sponsored by the Italian non-profit, Crocevia. The judges gave the award "for the sustainable solutions proposed by the film, which enhance the diversification of cultures…"
"After the Harvest" focuses on the three to eight months of the year when small-scale coffee farmers in Mexico and Nicaragua are unable to maintain their normal diet. These are "los meses flacos," or the thin months, when families make ends meet by eating less, eating less expensive foods, or borrowing against their future earnings from coffee. The film explores creative solutions to seasonal hunger such as crop diversification, grain storage, and family gardens.
Narrated by actress Susan Sarandon, the film was funded with a grant from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.

Women call the shots, study finds
In most couples, women are the decision-makers.
James Brown told us that it's a man's world, but this study might beg to differ. According to the Pew Research Center, it's women who have the final say on many household decisions.
The organization interviewed over 1,000 adults who were married or living with a partner and asked them who was in charge of making the decisions in four areas of domestic life. For a whopping 43 percent of couples, women are calling the shots. Men make the decisions in only 26 percent of relationships, the study found, while 31 percent of couples say they divide the decisions equally.

So what are the four areas in which women are wearing the pants?
Weekend plans
For 46 percent of couples, weekend plans are made together. But for those couples in which one partner primarily has control, it's the woman calling the shots. Twenty-eight percent of couples said that the woman decides what to do on weekends, while only 16 percent of couples put the man in charge of those activities.
Major household purchases
Again, nearly half of couples have equal control over the decisions in this area. But in those couples with one person in control, that person is the woman. In 30 percent of couples surveyed, the woman decides on big purchases for the home. That number was 19 percent for men.

Managing the finances
The study found that women are more likely than men to manage the household finances (38 percent vs. 30 percent). Interestingly, couples are more likely to share decision making about weekend plans than the household budget. Only 28 percent of couples manage the finances together.
Television viewing
And finally, who controls the remote? This is the one area that was the most evenly split, with women deciding what to watch in 27 percent of relationships and men controlling the remote in 26 percent.
Overall, more women (15 percent) than men (9 percent) take the lead in making decisions in three or more of these areas.

Lions, Schwartz could part ways?

12:03 PM ET 12.30 | After making the playoffs for the first time in 10 years last season, the Detroit Lions (4-11) have underachieved this season, needing a win over theChicago Bears in Sunday's season finale to avoid closing the season on an eight-game losing streak. That performance, combined with several high-profile off-field incidents, could have Jim Schwartz in danger of losing his job despite being the coach that led them to that playoff appearance just a season ago. Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com reported that concerns about the team's 'culture' under Schwartz could prompt the Ford family, who owns the team, to make a coaching change in the offseason.

And I wonder if they realized the folly in hanging on to him so long.
I liked Schwartz and some of the personnel he brought in, but then Fairly got stupid and Suh let his antics get in the way of his game. One more year for Schwartz to turn it around. If not, he's done.

She finished second among all players in the competition with six goals, helping the United States exact revenge on Japan for the gold medal.
Wambach earned what seemed to be long-overdue recognition when she was named the 2012 FIFA Women's Player of the Year. She scored her 159th goal in international play to break Hamm's record the following June, leaving her in need of only a World Cup championship to cap her impressive list of career accomplishments.

Yes, I had the same feeling. I (naturally) had forgotten about Defend Droknar's Forge (active on one of the characters I was bringing through), but decided to continue on (I was running this with three characters at the same time so only a party of 6, effectively). Switching between foes (heart first, then set the interrupting hero on that one and the rest on the other, etc) made me feel the lack of true interrupts and actual need for foe switching...

I'm not going to trash one really good game to feel good about another.
GW1 has a lot to offer in terms of combat, and much of it is in terms of team builds and team dynamics.
GW2 has better single-character combat, but that means that in most places you're also fighting alone against few enemies, so team combat is not the core gameplay.
Both great games imo...== Alaris & clone ==

Car hire
In August I'm travelling from Kiev to Melitopol and stay there for a few days.
I have 2 questions on which I hope somebody can inform me because I have been looking but can't find the informatioon on the net:
1) Are there any car rental companies who offer the possibility to rent a car in Kiev and drop it off in Melitopol?
2) Another option is that I go from Kiev to Melitopol by train but in that case I would still want to hire a car for 1 or 2 days in Melitopol. Are there any car rental companies in Melitopol?
Many thanks for your help,

Any information or experience with hotels or B&B's in Zaporozhye would be greatly appreciated. Also any information on flying from Kiev would be appreciated - ie. how easy is the connection, who flies there (I think just the two main Ukrainian airlines, do they do baggage transfers, etc.
Any information appreciated.
Added note: I'm amazed at the prices--it's equivalent to300-400 a night for a room, or so it seems to me... Are there not some nice homey small hotels?

ferry from Kerch to Berdyansk
I am planning my holiday in Ukraine and I can not find whether there is ferry from Kerch (rus. Керчь) in Cerimea to Berdyansk (rus. Бердянськ). It would be great if somebody writes me about such ferry or can give me link to web page (it can be also in Ukrainian or Russian) where I can find something about it.
On the map of Ukraine I see that there is route from Kerch to Berdyansk, but I would like to be sure that I can cross Azov Sea between these two towns.
Hotels or B&B's in Zaporozhye
Any information or experience with hotels or B&B's in Zaporozhye would be greatly appreciated. Also any information on flying from Kiev would be appreciated - ie. how easy is the connection, who flies there (I think just the two main Ukrainian airlines, do they do baggage transfers, etc. Any information appreciated.
More information please.
What is the population? Places to stay for 5 days? (Hotels and others) Resturants, places to dance, and recommended sites to see? Would 1500 USD be enough? Do I need local currency? Should I buy a camera there or bring my own?

The off-coast island seems to float upon
A layer of grey sky, a blurred green mass
Of tangled trees and, in between, vague lines,
A castle and the graceful tower of
The old muezzin – in the narrow streets
There's women's fine embroidery and beads
To grace their yashmaks, drowsy peace along
The door's intricacy. There will be fish
Brought to the harbour and the shabby dhows
Will dazzle those on shore when from their holds
They pour their magic treasure: fairyland
To gaze upon - until the sun breaks through
And those white lines become industrial,
While just halfway a cutter's progress takes
A long thin line of seagulls in its wake.

Boise Fire investigators say that a fire on Saturday evening displaced four families who live in a four-plex in the 2200 block of S. Amy St. in South Boise.
Investigators say it appears a hot lamp in a snake cage started the fire.
Crews were called to the scene at about 7:15 p.m. Saturday after the report of a fire in a closet in an upstairs unit of the four-plex. While they were on their way to the scene, firefighters saw a column of dark smoke coming from the area and immediately called for a second alarm.
When they arrived they found fire had spread into the attic of the four-plex.
Firefighters were able to put the fire out within about 15 minutes, but all four units suffered fire, heat, smoke or water damage.
No humans were injured. The snake in the cage where the fire started died. Several other pets besides the snake lived in the complex. None of the other pets were harmed.
