Aaron from Longmont, CO
Clutter has begun to overtake my kitchen and I needed an answer. This island was perfect for just that. It arrived in two boxes very well packed. I carefully read the directions and was able to assemble it in less than 2 hours (pretty good for me). The finished island looks wonderful with the rest of my kitchen. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an island for their kitchen.

Sen. Wicker, Barack Obama Intended Recipients
By Harold Hutchison
At least two letters tainted with ricin have been intercepted before they could reach officials. The apparent targets of these letters were Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Barack Obama.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the ricin-laced letters were detected at off-site screening facilities in Maryland. Ricin is a bio-toxin that was most famously used by the KGB to assassinate Bulgarian defector Georgi Markov in London in 1978.

Piracy Drops, but Militants Carry Out Bloody Attack
By Harold Hutchison
Piracy around Somalia has declined significantly according to report from the International Maritime Organization, part of a general downward trend for piracy in general.
According to a report by VOA News, only five piracy incidents were reported off Somalia in the first quarter of 2013 – part of a 55 percent decline in attacks worldwide. Naval patrols have been particularly intense off Somalia. A total of 66 piracy incidents were reported worldwide.
Close Result in Venezuela Could Create Chaos
By Harold Hutchison
Nicolas Maduro, the chosen successor to deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, claimed victory in Sunday's election for the presidency of Venezuela, with 50.7% of the vote. However, opposition candidate Henrique Caprilas is demanding a recount.
"Maduro and his government are the losers," Capriles said, as he claimed 300,000 incidents involving voters. Maduro was the chosen successor of Chavez, who died of cancer last month. The results showed a margin of victory of 235,000 votes.
First 100 Troops Leave Mali
By Harold Hutchison
As the first 100 French troops left Mali, a sign that France is ending an intervention against Islamist rebels aligned with al-Qaeda, many in Mali are wary of the departure, even as 11,000 African Union troops are slated to take over.
According to a report by VOA News, the French force is likely to decline to about 1,000 by the end of the year. The French did much of the heavy lifting the conflict.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq Merges With Syrian Jihadists
By Harold Hutchison
Jihadists in Syria are now formally allied with al-Qaeda in Iraq after the two groups have merged. The merger was announced by al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who stated that his group was funding the Syrian jihadists.
According to a report by VOA News, the combination of al-Qaeda in Iraq and the al-Nusra Front will be called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The al-Nusra Front has been responsible for a number of car bombings, including one in Damascus that killed 15 people yesterday.
"The families of those slain in Benghazi, our servicemen and women around the globe, and the American public deserve the truth - not the lies, misdirection, and stonewalling coming from President Obama."
CAPT Larry Bailey, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL issued the following statement along with a letter signed by 700 veterans of the U.S. Special Operations community asking Members of Congress to support House Resolution 36, which would create a House Select Committee to investigate the terrorist attack in Benghazi.

By Ike V. Montgomery
A yellow dot enters the dark, round field of a radar screen. Its appearance does not go unnoticed in the wheelhouse of the hijacked, commercial fishing boat—now a pirate "mother ship." The Somali leader of the "pirate attack group" (NATO's term for an operational raider unit) studies the screen. After a few minutes, he orders the boat's hostage crewmen to steer an intercept course with the unidentified ship, still a few dozen nautical miles away on the Indian Ocean.

By Harold Hutchison
North Korean strike plans include Los Angeles, Hawaii, Washington D.C., and Austin, Texas, according to photographs that ran in the state-owned newspaper Rodong. The photographs were from what the North Korean propaganda sheet called an "emergency meeting" of North Korean officials.
The meeting came after B-2 bombers took part in joint exercises between American and South Korea forces. The B-2s flew about 12,000 miles from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and simulated nuclear strikes.

Panicked train passengers broke windows to escape fire
As the inferno and thick black smoke raced through the car on the Bangalore-Nanded Express early Saturday, panicked passengers broke the windows and many saved themselves by jumping from the train.
The Associated Press
KOTHACHERUVU, India — Railway officials said Saturday that many of the people who died in an express train fire in southern India became trapped and suffocated after the doors failed to open in one car.
As the inferno and thick black smoke raced through the car on the Bangalore-Nanded Express early Saturday, panicked passengers broke the windows and many saved themselves by jumping from the train.
At least 26 of the 67 passengers in the carriage when the fire began died, said railways spokesman C.S. Gupta. The train was about 1 mile from the town of Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh state when the blaze erupted, Gupta added.
The train was brought to a halt and the burning coach was delinked from the rest of the cars to prevent the fire from spreading, Gupta said.
The fire spread to a second coach, but the blaze was put out before it caused much damage, Gupta said.
Firefighters retrieved at least 26 bodies, including two children, said a railway official at the site of the fire. More than a dozen people were brought to hospitals with injuries incurred when they jumped from the train, the official said on condition of anonymity.
Firefighters had to force the doors open and make their way through the smoke-filled coach to reach the dead, the official said.
Many bodies were found near the jammed doors, he said.
Medical teams carried out autopsies to identify the bodies, many of which were charred beyond recognition.
The train was traveling from Bangalore to Nanded in the western state of Maharashtra.
Railways Minister Mallikarjun Kharge said preliminary reports indicated the fire was caused by an electrical short-circuit in the air-conditioning unit. An investigation was under way.
Accidents are common on India's railroad network, one of the world's largest, with some 18 million passengers daily, but fares are kept so low to accommodate the poor that the government has been unable to invest in repairs. Many trains are in terrible disrepair, and many stations are decrepit. Most collisions and fires are blamed on poor maintenance and human error.
An effort last year by a reformist railway chief to raise fares to pay for needed repairs was reversed immediately, and the official resigned after an outcry followed his announcement.
Material from The New York Times is included in this report.

Constant debate, without any sign of resolution, eventually becomes pointless.
That's the way I'm feeling about the stadium debate in Halifax.
It's been a hot topic, off and on, since 1983 when Atlantic Schooners ownership surrendered its conditional CFL franchise status after funding for a proposed Dartmouth stadium didn't materialize.
Since then, whenever the stadium issue comes up — usually during discussions about infrastructure needs for large, sought-after sporting events or in relation to the CFL — it immediately brings out strong and conflicting opinions.
The opposing camps predict very different roles for a Halifax stadium.
Those in favour see a structure that wouldn't overly tax the public purse. They envision a stadium paid for over time by a combination of funding from private sources and various levels of government. They see it as a centrepiece for the city, a venue for hosting sporting events, concerts, trade shows and so on.
Those opposed say a stadium would largely be paid for by government money, probably local government money, and would be built only after tons of funding was spent on redundant studies. They argue that a stadium would be used only a few times a year, making it a money pit for wasted government dollars.
After meetings between the CFL and local business people, Halifax Mayor Mike Savage and CFL commissioner Mark Cohon talked optimistically at a news conference Monday about a stadium for Halifax.
Media coverage of that event later drew the predictable reactions from the anti-stadium and pro-stadium crowds.
But where does the average Halifax taxpayer stand on this issue?
We get snapshots of such responses through polls, which have generally shown support for the project, and social media commentary, which has often been negative.
At Monday's news conference I asked Savage about the possibility of a plebiscite on the stadium issue as a means to more accurately peg community support.
"I don't know what numbers you would put into that or what the question might be," Savage said. "In my view I was elected mayor to lead and my councillors were elected to help lead this city. We have to make decisions.
"If we'd had a plebiscite on the Metro Centre decades ago, probably it wouldn't have been built. Now we see this great public good.
"Let's not call each other boosters or naysayers, let's just be citizens talking about what is the best way for this city to move forward."
That sounds good but in reality more than 30 years of discussion involving elected leadership really hasn't accomplished much because it's easy to see both sides of this debate.
For example, I've long been in favour of a multi-use stadium for Halifax. I see no reason why Halifax should be denied what most other Canadian cities its size have enjoyed for a long time.
Yet, as a taxpayer, I would only back the project if it's done in a smart way. That means plenty of private and federal funding to complement any municipal and provincial dollars put toward a modest but modern facility.
The bottom line is that it's time this debate ended.
After witnessing too many examples of political indecision and hearing too much public bickering, I'm convinced that making all the pertinent information available and then holding a plebiscite on the stadium might be the smart way to proceed.
Vancouver held a non-binding plebiscite in 2003 that gave a convincing 64 per cent nod to hosting the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. It brought a measure of closure to that debate.
I see no reason why such a process can't help in Halifax.

apeo (15th June 2009), OutToLunch (15th June 2009), penfold (15th June 2009)
This weekend I'm going through a pile of ICT Technician application forms.
The quality of candidates varies wildly from career change with no training or experience, to 1st degree with 2 years, to 20+ years experience. Given the current job market I was expecting this even with the pay level we are offering.
Now being the crafty man I am, I only put a fixed pdf online for applicants. Most printed it and completed it - fair enough, others went through the LA site and got an electronic version - fine. Some found the LA standard electronic form elsewhere - bonus points. One applicant asked for an electronic version - good thinking batman, top of the class.
So some advice:
If there's a form to fill in, fill it in - all of it. I've got 16% of forms with information missing. The lack of attention to detail doesn't inspire confidence. In some cases its just a few boxes not ticked, others have several pages are missing. Check and check again you've ticked all the boxes needed and all sections are complete, then send them all.
If you want to add more on typed sheets then read the notes, is it allowed? Don't just fill in bits of the form saying see attached sheets and then attach sheets that don't contain the information requested - it makes it difficult to compare and you'll more than likely have your form discarded.
The "information to support your application" is vital. If you have to write it, why not type it first and check for typos if your spelling isn't that great. Put information that says how your experience and skills will help you in the role - read and keep checking against the job spec. Keep it relevant (OK the last paragraph can have some hobbies / outside interests). If you have just finished uni, give some detail on the course content and how it relates to the role.
Everyone has a PC and WiFi at home - sorry this is no longer enough to get you a job in IT.
If you have no relevant experience, did you try to get some? If so, write down what you've tried - a willingness to better yourself is a positive thing.
Previous employment - don't leave gaps without explaining them. There's no shame in being made redundant - it happens to the best of us. If you left uni and lived with off your partners income for a year while deciding your future say so. An unexplained gap says to me you couldn't be bothered - OK I can't be bothered to short list you.
For forms where you need to handwrite sections, why not draw lines on them in faint pencil or put a piece of lined paper underneath so you writing in straight neat lines? Or even glue on a printed out section. Presentation does count - if I'm umming and ahhing between 2 applicants then presentation might just tip the balance.
Don't smoke when writing an application form, it makes them stink!
Just as a bit of info for all - there are a lot of people out there with degrees now - 40% of applicants for this role. If you're thinking of doing a degree, try to find one with a year in industry.
BTW I'm short listing based on experience, relevant industry qualifications, other relevant qualifications (inc degrees), any other qualifications.

Some sound advice here... maybe this should be a sticky?
Additional "don't be creative" note is worth including.
*Remembers the CV that came in in a shoe with the message "if the shoe fits".* Yeah, we were doing IT for a creative firm in Soho, but you're applyling for a technical role not a PR bunny with a shoe allowance.
Could even return the form complete as a pdf . Thanks for the advise steve.
When I was applying for jobs, it was amazing how many firms and LEA's had put incomplete application forms online, or worse still, the link to download such was broken.
Whilst, most definitely, applicants should ensure they complete a form in full, it would be worth some employers checking that that which they are asking to be completed a) is complete itself, b) makes sense c) can easily be obtained d) ensure that any electronic submission actually works e) that staff who receive electronic applications know what to do with them.
In the case of the last two, I've had emails bounce back due to non-existent mailboxes and another where the submission was actually going to someone who was on long term sick leave with no-one checking her email!
But I agree, having gone through some application forms myself, some can be a little 'worrying'.

Personal Cardholder Information Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS V3)
The INETCO Insight solution has been designed to meet PCI-DSS requirements 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 6.3, and 6.5 concerning storage, display, and handling of sensitive cardholder information. This means that information including Track 1, Track 2, PANs, CVVs, and encrypted PIN blocks is discarded, truncated, or subjected to a one-way hash as appropriate in the operation of the INETCO Insight system.
As a result, sensitive information is never stored by INETCO Insight nor displayed to users of the product in normal operation.
Implementation details
- The INETCO Insight Event Collector component, which monitors network traffic and passes it onto the INETCO Insight Event Processor over an SSL encrypted data link does not store data. For further security, the INETCO Insight Event Collector and INETCO Insight Event Processor may reside on the same physical machine if so desired.
- The INETCO Insight Event Processor component generates a one-way hash of the PAN to use for transaction correlation. It then truncates the PAN by inserting "*" characters prior to storage or display, leaving behind the first 6 and the last 4 characters of the PAN. The original PAN is then discarded.
- The INETCO Insight Event Processor also discards any other sensitive information.
- Special memory management capabilities are used to ensure sensitive information is never swapped to disk.
- Users access the INETCO Insight solution over a web link. This link, like the Event Collector to Event Processor link, is encrypted via SSL.
Diagnostics Logging
The INETCO Insight solution does offer a diagnostics logging mode that allows INETCO support engineers to work with systems administrators to fine-tune transaction decoding capabilities during the early phases of a rollout. This feature is turned off by default. Activating it causes INETCO Insight to generate a log of transactions it did not decode properly. This log is kept for 7 days before deletion and may contain sensitive cardholder information. INETCO recommends administrators only use diagnostics logging when absolutely necessary and take appropriate measures to protect and/or destroy the contents of the log file. Customers can also activate file encryption on the INETCO Insight server to protect against access to this log.
If you have any questions regarding INETCO Insight and your security requirements please contact us.
"The first thing I do when I come to work is grab my morning coffee and log onto INETCO Insight. My customized screen view gives me an instant snapshot of all transaction delays occurring with client banks and merchant customers, across our entire transaction processing environment."

Domestic data shows Mac sales down 10% in June quarterAccording to the most recent U.S. sales data from NPD, Apple's Mac sales ended the June quarter down 10 percent from the same period one year ago though momentum from WWDC's MacBook lineup refresh could carry growth of 5 percent.
Despite the dip in domestic sales numbers, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster notes that data for the month of June shows a bump of 1 percent and expects Mac growth of 5 percent, which is in line with Street estimates. He goes on to say that Apple's reported Mac growth outpaced NPD's five percent contraction estimates by 12 points in the March quarter to end up seven percent year over year.
Munster believes that sales momentum seen as a result of Apple's Mac lineup refresh at WWDC in early June, which bumped specs of core products like the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, in June will carry over into the "back to school" season. The refresh, lead by the new MacBook Pro with Retina display, resulted in a per NPD Mac growth of negative 23 percent in May to up one percent in June.
The analyst sees iPhone sales as the real story for the June quarter and expects 28 to 29 million units sold compared to more conservative buy side consensus of 25 to 27 million.
"Regardless of the June number, we believe focus will shift to the iPhone 5, which we expect in October," Munster writes.
Source: Piper Jaffray
Performance of Apple's iPod line was down 21 percent year-to-year according to NPD data and is in line with Munster's model of 6.3 million unit sales, down 16 percent from 2011. Street estimates have iPod growth down 16 percent from the year ago period.
Overall, Apple is estimated to bring in $37.1 billion in revenues for the June quarter, up from 2011's $28.5 billion.
Munster reiterates an overweight stock rating on strong sales of Apple's upcoming next-generation iPhone.
On Topic: Investor
- Shares of Apple end week at all-time high with 'iPhone 6' & 'iWatch' hype at fever pitch
- As overall retail revenue declines, Apple Stores carry on original goal of growing Mac hardware sales
- Shares of Apple reach highest-ever closing price as 'iPhone 6' & 'iWatch' hype builds
- Shares of Apple hit $100 as Morgan Stanley provides strong endorsement to investors
- Apple's gross margins likely to decline this fall with new product designs, but quick rebound expected

Avoid These Heartburn Triggers
Also known as chronic acid reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, heartburn can lead to serious complications. Even though heartburn is caused by reflux of gastric acid in the food pipe, if a person has symptoms of heartburn for the first time it may be difficult to distinguish it from pain of cardiac origin, because that pain can sometimes mimic heartburn; and vice versa. Therefore, it is not advisable to take new heartburn lightly as it may require immediate medical consultation. Here are the top 5 heartburn triggers, which one must consider. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images

08/5/14 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Jonathan Liebesman, 2014)
We aren't sure how it happened, but Godzilla appears to have gotten stuck while walking through the gardens of Tokyo Midtown. He's only visible from about the waist up (Godzilla has a waist, right?) along with a portion of his tail. But at 6.6 meters (~22 feet) tall, he's still an awesome sight to behold, even more so at night when the lights and smoke machines turn on. And then the spikes on back light up as well, as though a surge of electricity is traveling down them. So awesome!
This statue was built to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original Godzilla as well as the Japanese release of the new Godzilla film. The King of the Monsters will be stuck in this Tokyo Midtown park until the end of August. So if you've ever wanted to give him a hug, now's your chance.

Can This Hollywood Duo Do Justice to the R.A. Dickey Story?
If a tale of an underdog is still the stuff Hollywood dreams are made on, then Ben McKenzie and Logan Marshall-Green have a winner on their hands with Wherever I Wind Up, the memoir that tells MLB pitcher R.A. Dickey's life story. Deadline Hollywood reports McKenzie and Green will bring Dickey's inspirational memoir to life in a production for Sony Entertainment's (NYSE:SNE) TriStar Pictures, though neither will protray the knuckleball pitcher in the film.
Dickey's story does not follow the usual trajectory of an athlete's rise to prominence. After enduring life as a journeyman minor league ballplayer into his 30s, Dickey finally emerged as a knuckleball pitcher and got his shot with the New York Mets. He made the most of it by winning the NL Cy Young award in 2012.
The leadup to that high water mark of his professional career is the meat of the subject matter. Dickey was forced to take up the knuckleball as a last resort to save his dream of being a ballplayer. Becoming a knuckleball pitcher means being indoctrinated into a cult of former and current MLB hurlers who relied on the most unpredictable of pitches to get outs from the world's best hitters. Dickey astonished fans and the sport as a while with his thoughtful, reflective persona in the clubhouse during his Cy Young season, and that feeling comes through in his acclaimed book.
McKenzie and Marshall-Green, both former stars of The O.C., have a tall order to fill in the first venture of their new company, which is called A Thing or Two Productions, though they already have help in the writing department.

I just read my eleventy billionth story on the controversy surrounding the show All-American Muslim. You've likely heard about the controversy. You've not likely seen the show, according to the Hollywood Reporter:
Only five episodes into its first season, the series ranked 78th among Sunday's cable broadcasts for Dec. 11. With only 908,000 viewers and a 0.3 rating among adults 18-49, it's being easily outperformed by series like History's American Pickers, Discovery's Moonshiners and its latest lead-in, Little People Big World: Holiday Surprise.
Reviews haven't been kind. Here's Asra Q. Nomani in Newsbeast on why the charge — that advertisers are dropping due to an irrational fear of Islam — is silly. She says it's boring and trite television. Obviously viewers agree.
So why the thousands upon thousands of stories I found when I Googled "All-American Muslim" and "Lowe's"?:
The creators of the show have rallied massive support lobbying through groups such as Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow, a nonprofit group run by the folks who wanted to create the "Ground Zero mosque," Daisy Khan and Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf. In press releases and press briefings, they've trumpeted how they won over everyone from hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons to leading national media columnists.
The latest story is from The Charlotte Observer and a quick read of the lede suggests that all the previous coverage we saw might be in error. That previous narrative was that Lowe's decided to drop its advertising from the show not because of it being the 78th-ranked series … on Sundays … on cable, but because a singular but shady Christian conservative outlet in Florida forced them into it.
You can read Bobby's analysis of previous coverage, faulted for its lack of quotes from the accused.
Here's the Observer:
Mooresville-based Lowe's Inc. met Tuesday with local clergy who delivered a petition from people opposed to the retailer's decision to pull commercials from a TV show about Muslim-Americans. But the company said it won't reinstate the advertising.
Lowe's also said its decision was not motivated by pressure from a Florida-based Christian group. The company stepped into a crossfire on Dec. 5, when it decided to stop advertising on the TLC show "All-American Muslim," a reality program about families in Dearborn, Mich.
The Florida Family Association, which pressures companies to pull their ad dollars from shows it deems immoral, had emailed Lowe's and other advertisers on the TLC show. "The decision was absolutely not, despite what's been reported in the media, influenced by any one group," said Lowe's vice president of marketing, Tom Lamb. He said that the decision to stop advertising on the show had been made before the FFA emailed Lowe's CEO Robert Niblock.
Well then!
I have a theory that what happened is that this Florida group claimed it had gotten Lowe's to stop advertising, a reporter simply confirmed with Lowe's that they'd stopped advertising, and people forgot to ask them why before reporting that it was the result of FFA (or strongly suggesting the same). Or maybe the whole story, from start to finish, originated with the public relations campaign on the other side.
I don't know. An executive with Kayak said "We believe TLC went out of their way to pick a fight on this, and they didn't let us know their intentions. That's not a business practice that generally gets repeat business from us. I also believe that it did this subject a grave disservice. Sadly, TLC is now enjoying the attention from this controversy." He also said they decided not to renew advertising with the show because it was unwatchable.
Anyway, my whole point in looking at this story was because I learned of the controversy at the same time I learned of another controversy. And the disparity in coverage is really intriguing.
The other story is that a major and highly symbolic federal agency was caught officially restricting First Amendment rights. Walter Reed National Medical Center had issued a memo months ago barring visitors from bringing Bibles or other religious items in to patients.
Say what? I was sure the story couldn't be true when I first heard about it but, in fact, it was. Almost immediately the higher-ups at Walter Reed admitted that they had issued the memo, said it was in error, and promised to rewrite it. I'm not sure if it was a government whistleblower who alerted a watchdog group or someone else, but a non-profit Christian group started complaining about it to Members of Congress and that's what got the ball rolling.
Now, it seems an enterprising reporter might want to write a story or two looking into this, but it's received remarkably little coverage. The excuses given by the government officials have been more or less accepted and the whole memo has been downplayed.
It hasn't been completely ignored. Here's a story from the Washington Examiner this week:
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is backtracking on an order that banned family members from bringing Bibles and other religious materials to injured soldiers and a religious organization is demanding an explanation.
Issued on the date of the official consolidation of the region's two military medical centers, the memo on visitor and patient policy contained a section stating "No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading material, and/or artifacts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit." The Sept. 14 memo came from the desk of Col. Norvell Coots, the commander of the Walter Reed Healthcare system.
A spokeswoman for Walter Reed told The Washington Examiner on Friday that the policy was "written incorrectly," and that a ban on religious items was never enforced.
I don't think this Google News search is quite accurate — and certainly not as accurate as a Lexis-Nexis search would be — but a search for Walter Reed bible ban yields 14 results to the Lowe's story's 2240.
Should the story about the banning of Bibles (and other religious materials, like, oh, Korans) from Walter Reed really get a fraction of one percent (0.625%) as much coverage as why a private company stopped advertising on a particular show?
What do you think?

Man burned in chemical incident
A man received burns during a chemical incident in Oxford.
Fire crews were called to Ivy Flats accommodation block in Oxford yesterday afternoon.
When they arrived they were told that a maintenance worker had received burns and had experienced breathing problems.
This had happened after he had poured a mixture of chemicals down the sink, in the aim of unblocking it.
However he was unaware that the previous evening that another resident had also poured chemicals down the sink and the mixture was now dangerous.
Four firefighters in breathing apparatus and gas tight suits entered the flat and were able to identify the three household substances that had been put into the sink.
By combining these three regular products a small quantity of chlorine gas had been created.

Pellegrini: 'Referee not impartial'
After losing 2-0 at the Etihad in the Champions League last 16 first leg match Manuel Pellegrini attacked the referee.
The City manager said: "From the beginning I felt the referee was not impartial to both teams so he decided the game with a foul that he didn't whistle against and a penalty with Demichelis that was not a penalty, it was outside the box.
"He did not have any control of the game. He was on the side of Barcelona from the beginning until the end.
"I think it was not a good idea to put a referee from Sweden in charge of such an important match, especially a referee who has made an important mistake against Barcelona in a previous match."

JERUSALEM: The computing industry is entering a new era as devices move from merely being programmable to become responsive, learning systems, according to a senior IBM executive.
Tom Rosamilia, vice president of corporate strategy, said that tools like the firm's Watson system mark this shift to cognitive systems that could have a huge impact on the corporate world.
"From the late 1960s until now, we were living in the programmable era, where we could add logic and software to systems and do things that we're still doing now and that's not going to disappear," he said at the HTIA conference in Israel.
"But now we're at the beginning of the cognitive systems era and the difference is that, while we haven't created machines that can think - not yet - we are creating ones that can learn, that can ingest data and understand it."
Watson, IBM's high-power machine for analysing and understanding data, is starting to be rolled out to businesses in the financial and healthcare sectors.
On Monday, IBM also revealed that Michigan State University had struck a deal to use Watson in its colleges of business, engineering and natural science as part of a new curriculum in business and data analytics.
As part of this change in computing, Rosamilia also touched on the importance of mobile devices to enterprise.
In particular, he cited the firm's push to offer management tools in this space and hinted the firm may make more acquisitions in this area.
"We already have Worklight in the mobile device management space and there is a lot of opportunity to do more in this area of how firms can manage devices," he said.
On the issue of cloud computing, Rosamilla revealed IBM is now managing 4,000 engagements for customers, and handled some 4.5 million daily client transactions on its cloud, helping revenues grow almost threefold in recent years.

So I tried again. This time I sized up, and used a heavier yarn [Rowan Cork/Tangerine (discontinued)]. This is one of my all-time favorite yarns, which has been discontinued, and I was lucky enough to score 6 skeins on eBay. This time the fit was perfect, but I guess that was just a fluke! I thought I had knit the sweater in a Size 34" Bust, but on later inspection, discovered the pattern was written for French Sizing. The conversion to US sizes meant the French Size 34 = US Size 2.
Wow, it is a good thing Emery is so skinny. Anyway . . . the sweater fits her perfectly and she seems to just love it. It will make a perfect addition to her new school clothes. And, I found the perfect necklace to go with it, on my friend's website: http://nowyours.com/. She'll be returning to 7th Grade this week. She is growing up soooooooo fast!
I know that I committed to only knitting for myself this year (2014), but I thought I could produce a sample for my KAL more quickly, if I knit the "Lady Kina" sample in a smaller size. Oh well . . . I guess everyone makes mistakes. My mistake in reading the pattern, caused me to knit 2 samples, and was time-taking problem! Thus, the "Lady Kina" sweater for me is still on the needles, and will likely not be for me anyway. The sizing confusion will likely produce a sweater that is 4 sizes too small for me. I'm sure one of my daughters will oblige. We'll see who it fits???

Another hard start leads to more sustained climbing than Lost Soles above. Still feels runout! Separate anchors to the right of Lost Soles.Afternoon shade on this wall makes it very pleasant....[more] Browse More Classics in ID

Essentially, this place is a big open, gutted out factory with a bar and some tables. There is no food, so bring your own. There were 6 beers on tap and several soda's when I was here. The beer was average. The Helles was decent, the Wit was good, the Bock stunk, and the Raspberry Red was OK. Nothing too full of flavor on the beer menu. Service was minimal...basically rope on up to the bar to get your own beer. There is a patio where there is sometimes local entertainment. The whole idea of the place seems an afterthought. There really isn't any fit, finish, or class... a common reflection upon the businesses and community of Alpena, a town which seems to be 20 years in the past.

Fletcher Street Brewing has reopened after being closed for a couple of years. All the other reviews here are from before the closing, but I am told ownership remained the same, so there is that.
Atmosphere is big warehouse, as thats what the place used to be. A couple of TV's behind the bar, which seats about 10. Plenty of other seating, but all food/drink orders are placed at the bar. Their tables were pretty cool, each one different, with keys, 45 rpm records, newspaper clippings etc. under glass. There were quite a few old time photos of Alpena hanging up around the place.
They do have limited food items now, locally made brats, hot dogs, nachos, and chili. I had some nachos with chili on them, but the chili was pretty poor. Should have gotten a brat.
The beers really werent bad, I pretty much stuck with one called Tactical, but also tried a decent bock. $4.00 a pint.
An interesting place to check out if you are in Alpena.

This place is a lot like a VFW hall. It's a long, open space with collapsable banquet tables often surrounded by women belonging to the Red Hat Society. When I first went there over a year ago, there was a b&w slide show of old Alpena underscored by the Titanic Soundtrack. I could barely tell the difference between their wheat and their pale.
To FSBC's credit, they're trying to change the culture there. They're bringing in musicians and to their brew team they've added an old compatriot of my brew partner. And they've experimented with some small batch brews.
They've got a long way to go, but there's some reason to be optimistic.
There's no real food, unless you count popcorn, which is refilled almost egregiously, but they're cool about your bringing in pizza or Scrabble or whatever. It's like a Texas beergarden in that respect.
I don't go there very often, but the space has potential and I'm hopeful that their product improves over time.

Finally made it to this place and found it very pleasing. Current road work makes it a bit tougher to get there but it is well worth it. This is a large building, tall arched ceilings and lots of windows. Riverfront location with area for outdoor tables, etc. As you enter there are tables to the left, as well as leather chairs, then the bar is directly in front of that. Off to the RIght is a large area featuring more tables. The brewery is visible through windows off this large area. 9 beers available on last visit as well as 4-5 sodas. The quality of the beer was very good and is worth the trip. Food is available nearby. Give this place a shot, you will be glad you did.
