NICOSIA - US Vice President Joe Biden failed to make a much-anticipated announcement in the capital on the ghost town of Famagusta's opening because of unacceptable and humiliating demands by the Turkish side.
This is what Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides (pictured with government spokesman Nicos Christodoulides) told a press conference Friday, hours after Biden ended his landmark two-day Cyprus visit.
"The US Vice President was to announce the opening of Famagusta with the first step being the entry of experts into the fenced city to draft a master plan," Kasoulides said.
"But this was not achieved because Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot regime raised unacceptable demands, they basically wanted to humiliate us," he added.
Kasoulides revealed that one of their unacceptable demands was that no Greek Cypriot expert could join the team of technocrats drafting the master plan for the town uninhabited for 40 years.
"They insisted on this humiliating reference. The team could be made up by foreigners as well as by Turkish Cypriots but not by Greek Cypriots," Kasoulides said.
"And we are talking about a master plan of a town which was inhabited by Greek Cypriots," he added.
He refused to talk about the other unacceptable demands by the Turkish side.
Analysts believe the most crucial one is probably their long-standing demand for Tymbou airport in occupied Nicosia to be recognised.
The opening of Varosha is a confidence building measure Nicosia was strongly pushing for in a bid to maintain the momentum in UN-brokered Cyprus peace talks re-launched in February. The US supports this view and considers the opening of Famagusta under EU and UN control as a game-changer in the ongoing reunification efforts.
Despite the Varosha deal going sour, Nicosia considers the Biden visit as a historic one with positive results for Cyprus.
"For many years, the US was not really concerned whether the Cyprus problem was solved or not. It kept its distance. Today, it is important because of Cyprus' upgraded role in the eastern Mediterranean," Kasoulides said.
"The Vice President's visit is symbolic and their way of expressing the particular interest of Americans in the peace process but also because Cyprus is poised to become a key energy player in the region," he added.
Biden's visit was the highest level by a US official since 1962 and Kasoulides said it was the outcome of year-long diplomatic work by the Anastasiades administration.
At the same time, he dismissed fears expressed by opposition parties that the new strategic partnership between Cyprus and the US could annoy old traditional allies such as Russia.
"Nothing has changed with Russia. We always were and still are strong allies. Moscow respects our contribution within the European Union."
"Let me remind you that the first EU foreign minister to visit Moscow and have a very friendly conversation with (Foreign Minister) Sergey Lavrov when the Ukraine crisis broke out was none other than me," Kasoulides added.
On the issue of possible stronger sanctions against Russia that the US and some EU member states are calling for, Kasoulides said Nicosia backs a diplomatic solution.
"We discussed with the Vice President the sanctions issue, we have our views, the American have their views, both sides backed their arguments but nothing has changed.
"The Americans comprehend our concerns, the blow to our economy from possible tougher sanctions. Something that we can certainly not afford these days."

Testing – Video
The next two pages of testing depend very highly on the video card you use. In our case it is the EVGA GTX 570. You also will not see a huge difference between stock results and the overclocked results.
Our first video test is 3DMark 11.
Up next is 3DMark Vantage, I ran it on the "Performance" setting.
Our next benchmarking tool is the Heaven Demo v2.5. The Heaven Demo is based off the Unigine and is actually a DirectX 11 demo. The settings we used were 1920 x 1080 resolution, shaders: high, textures: high, filter: trilinear, Anisotrophy: 4x, antialiasing 8x.
Stone Giant is a DirectX 11 demo produced by Fatshark in collaboration with BitSquid using BitSquid Tech. It has primarily been developed to test the BitSquid tools and technology in a real-world production environment. The demo showcases how DX11 hardware tessellation can be used to achieve a high level of geometry detail in close-up shots. The settings we used were Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Aspect: Auto, Tessellation: High.

Letter: National priorities askew
Finally! On Jan. 14, there was an interview on national television with a Republican senator in which this fact was discussed: After World War II, U.S. debt was 121 percent of our economy. We owed $121 for every $100 in gross national product. Always enough money for war. Never enough money for education.

hi, i have the same system and problem. Explaining it a bit better, the problem is that the system has 6 input connections, which are:- FL(white), FR(red), SL(white), SR(red), CEN(white) and SW(red). How is it possible to connect this when a tv or dvd only has 1 pair of outputs? Thanks.
How Can I Hook Up My TV's Audio to My Home Theater?
Categories: Receivers and Audio Components
Question: I have just bought a DURABRAND SA51AR home theatre system to go with my DURABRAND 2127N TV and DURABRAND CG5660-M Freeview set-top box. I have connected all my output leads (the speaker ones). I have only one red, yellow, and white jack on my TV and three sets of red and white jack leads with home theatre system. I can't get sound no matter how many times I've swapped the input leads... any ideas whats going wrong :(
- submitted by CKENWORTHY1986
If I get you right, you have a home theater system, a TV, and a freeview set-top, but can't get any sound from the TV through your external audio system.
If that's the gist, let's look at a few things.
Based on your description, it doesn't sound like your TV has an OUTPUT... only an input (since there's only 1 set of jacks). If this is the case, you won't be able to connect the TV to the receiver directly. That's no big deal really; all you need to do connect the audio output from the set-top box to the home theater system directly (run the video cable to the TV) and simply bypass the TV for sound. You'll be forced to use the receiver to hear any audio, but who needs TV speakers when you've got external audio. :)
If your TV has an audio OUTPUT jack on the back, you can run the set-top to your TV first, then back out from the TV to the audio system. It's a little trickier, but will work if your TV supports this type of connection. Follow the steps below to do this:
1. Make sure that the red and white cable that goes between your TV and audio system is plugged in to the right spots. You don't need to worry about the yellow. On the TV, the cable should be plugged into an OUTPUT. On the audio system, an INPUT.
2. Check the TVs menu to enable the audio output. Look in the menus that may allow you to turn the output on or off, or look for something that asks if the output should be fixed or variable. If you have that choice, choose fixed. In some cases, you need to disable the TV speakers to use the audio output.
3. On the receiver, make sure that you've selected the correct input, and that it's looking at the analog jacks for sound. Some audio systems won't look at the analog by default if a digital signal is not present (if one is assigned).

the system doesn't have a seperate amp, all connections go to the sub woofer. the input connections i've already mentioned are the only ones, there is no Video 1, tv, etc. My tv, dvd and sky box all have only one pair of outputs.

ok thanks for your help. guess the best thing is to get a better one! thanks again.
I,ve just bought a DURABAND SA51AR 5.1 surround system only to find out that my dvd isnt 5.1 compatible ie only has one red & one white phono out a 5.1 surround sound dvd/cinema surround will have 5/6 phono out connectors. So what I have done is go to Maplins or shop online for either 6/6 or 2 3/3 male phono cables & 4 1 into 2 phono splitters connect one splitter in each of your red & white phono out on your dvd then connect the other splitters in one other splitters out holes making 6 phono out holes on the back of your dvd connect one end of your male phono cables to the input of your subwoofer then connect the other end ( 3 males left 3 males right to your 3 females left 3 females right on the back of your dvd ) the subwoofer has its own amplifier, this isn,t giving you 5.1 surround sound but it is giving you stereo through 5 speakers it,s a better sound than the television the only problem I have is I can,t control the volume using the tv or set top box remote can anybody help me on that point ?
Ok, here's the deal: I bought a Phillips plasma tv, 50
I am haveing a problem hooking up my surround sound I just bought a brand new panasonic 50" TV with MAaudio surround sound can anybody walk me though how to hook it all up???
i have a sony s300 blu ray player with 5.1 surround sound it has the 6 av jack plugs for the speakers. but my speakers are an LG set with just bare cables as my old dvd player just had clips on the back for the speaker cables. can i fit av phono plus on to the speaker cables plug into the sony blu ray and all will be ok
I have aiwa ditital signal processer av-d78 how do I hook up my projection tv and my dvd & cable box & surround sound systerm together
I just got a home theater system and home theater system I want surround sound on the t.v. And DVD all in one do I need to buy the red, yellow, white cord that has 9 lines? So it goes from the home theater and the dish then to the T.V.?
Hi, Can I send you a pic as I have the same problem.Thanks.

Driver dies and five-year-old girl injured in railway station crash
Updated 1:40pm Monday 3rd March 2014 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
A driver died after the car they were driving crashed into the ticket machine at a railway station car park.
Police are investigating the crash in the car park of Arundel Railway Station on Saturday.
At about 6.24pm,a light blue Fiat Dublo collided with a ticket machine at the exit to the station car park.
Despite resuscitation efforts by paramedics for more an hour, the driver of the car, a 68-year old man from Littlehampton, died at the scene.
A five-year old girl from West Lavington who was the passenger in the car suffered a slight head injury.
Sergeant Rob Baldwin said: "Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to contact Sussex Police on 101, or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com Operation Meltham."

Tragic but you have to ask why a 5-year old was in the passenger seat and injured. At that age the use of suitable restraints and booster seat should ensure maximum protection.

Back seats are passenger seats too, all seats which are not the driver seat are passenger seats. What is the writers point exactly?

Sepaton lures Feds with TOP SECRET backup BEAST
Inline solutions have their limitations
I think most people see through the FUD between inline and concurrent deduplication. Inline solutions are not appropriate for large enterprises and suffer their own drawbacks:
1. There is very little duplicated data within a single backup. Therefore, almost every appliance has to land virtually the whole first backup, regardless of the type of deduplication technology.
2. Inline deduplication requires very large chunks on the incoming data to be able to perform at the rates they do. This results in poor deduplication unless post-process steps are performed after all the data has landed.
3. To get competitive deduplication ratios, inline solutions need to run post-process optimization to find more duplicate data and to reclaim storage found during deduplication back to the available storage pool. This takes a lot time, causes penalizing fragmentation, and must happen post-process in order to get the results they claim and to be able to use reclaimed space for the next backup.
4. Inline systems don't scale and performance degrades over time as more data is stored on them. These systems become useless long before they reach their claimed maximum capacity specifications.
For the reasons above, anyone looking to backup a lot of data should seriously consider other solutions than inline systems.
It only makes sense to compare systems by how much performance you can have in a single dedupe domain and management pane. The equivalent four domain SEPATON system will yield 320TB/hr of backup. If you are going to gang separate systems together, then where do the comparisons end -- after 4 systems, 10 systems, 1000 systems, or maybe by the number of processing nodes, FC interfaces...

SORRY - LBJ is the best player in the NBA, and should be compensated as so! Outside of his first 3yrs in the league that was under his Rookie Contract - LBJ has been grossly underpaid, while the NBA|CAVS reaped financial windfalls that I would surmised surprised them, seeing he was playing in Cleveland. He took a pay-cut to join HEAT in what has been a great move overall, 4X FINALS appearance | 2X Champ --- but it's time for the 11yr|4X MVP|2X FINALS MVP to stop taking pay-cuts and maximize his own financial portfolio as Dan Gilbert and Mickey Arison have done..................................as for Wade - NO DICE, no longer worth a MAX DEAL!!! Wade need to focus on regaining some physical form that allows him to play the regular & post season w/out long periods of NO SHOW REST games...as for Bosh - he's still fairly healthy and moving well, and has added another dimension to his game being that he stretches the floor all the way to the 3pt line; but to get the money he wants he may be better served leaving South Beach and returning to a role as a primary focal point of a team (ie. Toronto years)? Otherwise, staying with LBJ will come at a continued discount.
Crushing Finals Loss Proves Big Three Should Take Pay Cut
NBA Free Agency is at a standstill because the Big Three can't make up their minds on payment, when the 2014 NBA Finals proved that the team is no longer made to withstand them at their 2011 price tags. In other words, there can be no Big Three without a snipping of paychecks. Yet, here we are, hearing that LeBron wants a max deal and that Wade and Bosh are making moves that indicate they want to get paid too (one way or another).
It should be said that all three players deserve to squeeze as many pennies out of a contact as they can. At first, that didn't seem to be their goal as they all opted out of their contracts–in the case of Wade, leaving a lot of money on the table–seemingly to be able to make room for more salaries. It's since become a waiting game as Wade and Bosh are said to be waiting for LeBron to re-sign and LeBron is waiting to re-sign once Pat Riley lands some added talent. But the talent hasn't come. At least, not yet. All signs seem to be pointing to a pretty classic Catch-22 scenario where free agents are waiting for LeBron to make his move but LeBron won't make any moves until he sees what free agents Miami can get.
Luol Deng, one of the remaining Miami targets, offers a look into the landscape Miami is contending with. He'd be a quality wing player, something the Heat are coveting right now, and could be seen as a potential substitute for LeBron to give him some rest in minutes and guarding the other team's best player. But Deng had a falling out with the Chicago Bulls because he wouldn't take $10 million a year. The Heat, with the Big Three's projected salaries, couldn't do much better. XN Sports thinks it's doubtful they'll get him.
Steve Blake and Trevor Ariza are two other names included in the mix. But neither would fully address the holes Miami needs plugging up, and, outside of their signings, picking up other quality role players is looking rather bleak.
And that's the thing, when the Big Three came together, their combined talent was enough to overcome an otherwise depleted roster. They became champions when the organization was able to convince Shane Battier and Ray Allen to take less than they would get elsewhere but both players exist as outliers. Not just everyone is looking to get paid less to do less in Miami. And now, the Miami Heat need more than post-prime Shane Battiers and Ray Allens to remain relevant. They needed a Kyle Lowry or a Marcin Gortat. That's no longer possible, for obvious reasons. But it further illustrates the dilemma the Big Three are currently caught in. Either they chase the money or they chase the glory. They are welcome to chase both, it just won't be taking place in the same city.

Better transit service has come up repeatedly in HBGNext, and there's new hope of progress on that front. It looks as if transit service is going to be high on new Mayor Eric Papenfuse's agenda.
Wednesday, just his third day in office, Papenfuse nominated two people to fill the city's seats on the board of Capital Area Transit, the regional bus service. For years, city government has paid little attention to CAT and its blue buses that weave through Harrisburg and the suburbs on both shores.
Appointing Kathy Possinger, director of Tri County Community Action based in Allison Hill, and Lenora Smith, a lawyer and former city council member, will give the city a stronger voice in transit decisions, just as CAT is considering major changes in its bus routes.
Mayor Papenfuse said he'd already talked with CAT general manager Bill Jones about some issues, like why there is no bus to Hamilton Health Center, a popular destination in Allison Hill.
Jones, who attended Wednesday's press event where the mayor announced his CAT picks and several other appointments, welcomed the city's involvement. "I was pleasantly surprised at how fast he got on this issue," he said of Papenfuse.
Papenfuse said working more closely with CAT is another example of the regional cooperation he's trying to build.
It's not just Harrisburg that will benefit from more cooperation on transit. The health of the whole region depends on people being able to move around efficiently.
As HBGNext commenters have noted, good transit is especially important in making sure opportunity available to those who are struggling.
As Possinger said Wednesday, "One of the greatest challenges people face on the path to self-sufficiency … is transportation."

Eighth-Grader Makes An Impossible Shot… Twice (Video)
Easton Gamoke is a 14-year-old from from Winona, Minnesota. Yes, that is his real name. These Post-Millennial baby names are getting ridiculous, but that's a rant for another day. Anyway, Gamoke was playing in a tournament down in Holmen, Wisconsin, last weekend in a real nail-biter. With the score tied 44-all and the clock ticking down to zero, Gamoke lofted up the desperation heave to end all desperation heaves.
"OH MY GOOOOOSH!" is right. Wow, that Wisconsin/Minnesota accent sounds particularly jarring on tape. CBS noticed the footage, and went out to Gamoke's school to interview the shooting sensation. When prompted to give his one-in-a-million shot another go-around, he rose to the occasion.
Division Two schools are reportedly clamoring to get this kid signed. Who would win in a one-on-one? Gamoke or either of the Newmans?

"The standard weight paper was nice and heavy and the colors were vivid. The regular delivery arrived before the expected date I am reordering more today! Will definately use tiny prints for my son's engagement party invitations!"
"Excellent quality, sturdy card and envelope. Loved the design and quality of the pictures printed . Came a couple days before expected. Received many complements!"
"This is not your typical sappy and boring holiday card. The colors are brilliant and seem to sparkle. I upgraded the paper and the card stock was top quality, especially comparing the price to the cost of a single card from a boxed set that is not even personalized. This worked well for us because we are a five person blended family with three boys with many interests. The main picture of all of us fit perfectly in the largest box and there were four boxes left to highlight the rest of the year's activities by individual. I also like that it is a New Year's card with a bold saying on it. New Year's cards avoid the whole religious problem some people may have and I didn't feel I had to rush to get the cards out."
"Everyone loved the card, it became a mini album of our vacation. I loved the ability to personalize. The pearlizing of the card really added a nice sheen so that was a nice final touch. The quality of the paper is A-1. The printing was beautiful. I loved being given a free hand to "create" and also knowing that a Tiny Prints tech would be available if I ran into a snag. Great experience! Will be doing this every year now with you. Thank you! Rosemary Place, Chicago, Illinois"
"My cards are beautiful and I've gotten great compliments on them. Every one loved the vintage look to them, I was very pleased as well. I initially was disappointed when I had paid for overnight expedited delivery and I didn't receive them as I expected, but the young lady at customer service was very nice and immediately refunded my shipping cost. Luckily, although they were late arriving, I was able to send them out just on time to be received by Christmas."

Now, I will first give WWE props in that it had one of the best matches defintely this year (I know the year is still it is infancy) as well as over the last couple of years. Cena and Punk put on an instant classic! That match had everything in it that makes a great match compelling even with the outcome already pre-determined (you had to know Cena was winning). I will give Cena credit as he had
I have no problem with rematches, only a problem when the rematches suck or don't do much to continue the feud. This blog will dissect some rematches as well as some potential WM matches.
Most of the rumored matches will be rematches of some sort from years past. We know one of the main events is Cena Rock II. It is quite sad that even WWE subtly has to admit its mistake in saying
We all know that the main event of the Chamber is Rock Punk and that Rock is going over to retain the title. Even though I was against the Rock winning in the first place, WWE is going to remain predictable. For those that said Punk didn't draw, his PPV buyrates were good and TLC, the one he was not one and headlined by Cena did quite poorly. Thus, Punk was legit as champ and his reign will one

CABARET LIFE NYC: Even At a Brooklyn Church, Julie Reyburn's Award-Winning FATE IS KIND Is Enchanting Cabaret as Musical Bedtime Story
Cabaret Reviews and Commentary by Stephen Hanks
Sometimes you can stumble into stirring, soul-enriching cabaret in the unlikeliest places. Like at an Episcopal Church in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, for example.
Living in Park Slope, my wife Bea and I are always up for finding cool cultural things to do in Kings County. If there's music involved, all the better. So when I heard that one of New York cabaret's most accomplished female singers Julie Reyburn, and her exquisite Musical Director/Pianist Mark Janas (producer of the award-winning SALON, the open-mic held on Sunday nights at Manhattan's Etcetera, Etcetera Restaurant), would be performing the night before Bea's birthday--on March 1 at Christ Church (Ridge Boulevard between 73rd and 74th Streets)--it seemed like the veritable "no-brainer," especially since Bay Ridge is very underrated when it comes to fine dining. Bea was, as they say, "all in" on the Brooklyn birthday plan.
But this wasn't going to be just any ordinary little fund-raising show in the social hall of a local parish where 60 to 70 folks in the audience make it feel like a packed house. It would be the premier presentation of Christ Church's new monthly series, "Music on the Ridge," to be held every first Saturday at 7:30. It's actually not much of a surprise this otherwise innocuous house of worship would host pseudo-cabaret shows. Not only is Janas the Church's "Minister of Music," but the Priest-in-Charge is Father Jeffrey L. Hamblin, a music lover who spreads the gospel of cabaret with his personal financial support for the SALON, the non-profit Concerts for City Greens in Manhattan's Tudor City, and for critically-praised singing groups like Marquee Five (of which Reyburn is a member).
Reyburn wouldn't be performing some random mix of song standards or highlights of her previous shows over her 14 years on a New York cabaret stage. She would be resurrecting Fate Is Kind, her 2000 debut cabaret show, which earned her MAC and Bistro awards for "Best Female Debut." I was pretty jazzed about seeing the show that first put Reyburn on the cabaret map. As I've been involved in the scene for just less than four years now, this would feel a bit like cabaret time traveling; an adventure that would provide some perspective on how this particular singer achieved her well-respected status in the art form. (It would be a real treat, at least for this reviewer, if more veteran cabaret singers brought their early Award-winning shows out of moth balls so some of us late comers could catch up.) That Reyburn would be doing this show again from the perspective of being a married mother of two (Layla, 8, and Jude, 2--What? You were expecting their names would be Jack and Jill?), would just make it all the more fascinating.
"When I first put this show together," Julie would tell me days after her performance at the Church, "I was on a very introspective journey of looking at my life, questioning my path and how I got there; basically trying to make sense of it all. This show was a way of exploring all that and asking, 'What is real?' Fast-forward to the present, and marriage and parenthood have a way of pulling you into 'real' whether you are ready or not. It's humbling, at times hilarious, and often scary. Singing this show now is a different experience because my husband [Thor Fields] and children have become my greatest teachers on how to be real."
Reyburn is not only "real" off and on a cabaret stage, she's also a total cabaret pro and I found it delightfully ironic that her first show in 2000 was cabaret as musical bedtime story. In late 2011, when she was very pregnant with her son Jude, she appeared in a revue featuring tunes from the Dennis Livingston songbook and acted the role of mom for a song called "The Other Side of the Moon," a long and intricate lyric about cats who climb up a spider's web to have a picnic in space. In my review of the show, I wrote: "Believe me, you can do a lot worse than having Julie Reyburn sing you a bedtime story which includes a bossa nova-style chorus." Then at the Urban Stages 2012 "Winter Rhythms" Festival, Reyburn presented her 2011 show Winter Songs (another I hadn't seen in its initial run at Feinstein's), during which she sang a number of poignant songs from a parent's point of view, including a lullaby-like version of the Beatles' classic "Hey Jude." I ended that review with, "You're one lucky kid if you have a mom like Julie Reyburn singing you to sleep."
It's obvious that on this type of song, the attractive redhead's rich mezzo-soprano, warm stage presence, and flair for intoxicating storytelling has the power to turn me (and I'm guessing many other listeners) into an enrapt toddler rocking on Mama's lap. With Fate is Kind at Christ Church, I got to experience such a feeling for an entire show. And based on the occasional tear that I'd spy streaming down Bea's cheek to her smiling lips on many of Julie's songs, the birthday girl felt much the same. The show's title, Fate Is Kind, may sound like it's telegraphing one of those eclectic cabaret sets built on existential self-examination, but it's actually a line in "When You Wish Upon A Star" from Pinocchio. The wonderfully savvy and creative combination of songs and stories Reyburn features in this show (including a reading of Kahlil Gibran's prose poem "On Children" from The Prophet, and sections of Margery Williams' children's book classic, The Velveteen Rabbit), not only forces you to flip the pages of your mental scrapbook all the way to early childhood, it also tugs on your heartstrings if you're a parent, especially if your child has recently left the nest or is about to (like mine). (Please click on Page 2 below to continue.)
From the moment Reyburn begins the show with a sensual reading of Margaret Wise Brown's classic children's book, Goodnight Moon, which blends into a lovely, lilting rendition of Annie Dinerman's "Child In Me Again," you realize that this show will be about wishing and longing and dreaming, and about never losing the child within no matter what the calendar says about your chronological age. Supported by Mark Janas' (left in photo) sensitive and intricate-yet-accessible arrangements, and rich, orchestral piano, Reyburn gets comfortably into character on evocative musical theater pieces like Stephen Sondheim's "On the Steps of the Palace," Cinderella's song from Into the Woods, Sondheim's "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd (the show's encore), and Jason Robert Brown's "I'm Not Afraid of Anything," from the revue Songs For a New World. And not since Danny Kaye's version in the film Hans Christian Anderson have I heard a more engaging rendition of Frank Loesser's "The Ugly Duckling." Reyburn also segued from a mesmerizing take on Jimmy Webb's "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" into enchanting Sesame Street mode on "I Don't Want to Live On the Moon." Late in the show, she introduced a lovely new ballad, "Sea Glass," by singer/songwriter Steve Schalchlin (who is also a Composer-In-Residence at Christ Church), about how shards of glass found on a beach can be transformed into magical works of art.
Which is actually an apt metaphor for Fate Is Kind, a show in which Reyburn and Janas have taken fanciful notions of childhood and beautiful pieces of music and crafted them into a magical work of cabaret art. When for the finale Reyburn reads a climatic section of The Velveteen Rabbit as a lead into "When You Wish Upon a Star," it's as if she has taken the entire audience to her bosom and become a singing Earth Mother. She's no longer the searching, questioning young adult of 14 years ago who's trying to figure out what's real, where she came from, and what it all means. She's the loving, nurturing, spiritual soul who is divinely maternal, offering words both wise and life affirming for children of any age:
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Julie, if you're singing that to me, especially as I'm drifting off to sleep, I believe you.

Free organ recitals.
A new, supercool bar that takes its name from the Russian for 'cow' (fans of A Clockwork Orange take note), it is a great place to drink, hang out and hear some decent live music from a range of up-and-coming bands. Very trendy, but not at all stuck up.
This low-key basement pub beside the main square has occasional live music – see the signed posters of bands who've played here as you descend into the depths.
Vinyl and only vinyl spins at this treasure of a music bar. Nightly themes range from ska and rocksteady to '60s garage punk and hip hop. Order a Helga, a sweetish house drink that will have everything sounding dreamy in no time.
This converted warehouse offers hilarious transvestite lip-synching in its ground-floor Cabaret Room and high-quality dining in its stylish whitewashed restaurant above.
A gorgeous little cabaret venue north of Fleet St, Volupté offers a real variety of burlesque, vaudeville, comedy and live music. During the week, Baby Grand Burlesque offers cabaret stars complete with live music; there's often comedy or a gay club night on Thursday. At the weekend sit down to Afternoon Tease, with live music, cabaret or burlesque performances.
Put on your best Dean Martin swagger and relive the glory days of the 1940s at this wonderfully nostalgic supper club. The cabaret repertoire runs the gamut from crooners and big bands to the genteel burlesque of Immodesty Blaize. Also see p22.

Three New Grants to Assist Graduate Students in Pursuing Doctoral Degrees
UC Riverside has received grants totaling nearly $1.5 million to support 12 graduate students in chemistry, bioengineering and electrical engineering
UC Riverside is one of the most diverse research universities in the country and one of the most successful at graduating underrepresented minorities. Photo credit: UCR Strategic Communications.
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The University of California, Riverside has received three grants from the U.S. Department of Education to assist graduate students with excellent records who demonstrate financial need and plan to pursue the highest degree available in a field of national need.
Called "Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need" (GAANN), the national program will provide fellowships to graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents through academic departments at UC Riverside. The fields designated as areas of national need are biology; chemistry; computer and information sciences; engineering; mathematics; nursing; physics; and educational assessment, evaluation and research.
This year, UCR received GAANN grants for chemistry, bioengineering and electrical engineering.
The grant to chemistry, totaling $660,000 for three years, will support six graduate students.
"The grant program aims to increase the number of chemistry Ph.D. students from underrepresented populations and increase the proportion of these students entering the professoriate," said Eric Chronister, a professor of chemistry and a member of the GAANN committee in the Department of Chemistry.
The grants to bioengineering and electrical engineering, totaling about $400,000 each for three years, will support three graduate students in bioengineering and three graduate students in electrical engineering.
"These fellowships will help us recruit more top-quality U.S. applicants to BIG, the Bioengineering Interdepartmental Graduate Program, and increase the diversity of our applicant pool," said Victor Rodgers, the chair of the Department of Bioengineering and the principal investigator of the Bioengineering GAANN grant. "The selected students will be involved in local K-12 outreach and be given opportunities to develop strong skills as educators and researchers."
A graduate program must be in existence for five years before it is eligible to apply for GAANN. This was the Department of Bioengineering's first application for a GAANN.
"These GAANN fellowships are particularly important because of the current lack of a sufficient pool of domestic Ph.D. applicants in electrical engineering," said Yingbo Hua, a professor of electrical engineering, the principal investigator of the grant, and the chair of the Electrical Engineering GAANN Committee. "In order to increase the number of eligible domestic faculty candidates, it is essential to increase the number of domestic Ph.D. students."
Christopher Bardeen, a professor of chemistry, is the chair of the Chemistry GAANN Committee. Besides Bardeen and Chronister, Michael Pirrung, Cynthia Larive and Catharine Larsen are on the committee.
Besides Rodgers, the following faculty members are members of the Bioengineering GAANN Committee: Jerome Schultz, Bahman Anvari and Dimitrios Morikis.
Besides Hua, the following faculty members are members of the Electrical Engineering GAANN Committee: Amit Roy Chowdhury, Jay Farrell, Mihri Ozkan, Sheldon Tan and Ertem Tuncel
UCR is one of the most diverse research universities in the U.S. and one of the most successful at graduating underrepresented minorities (African-American, Native American, Latino). In 2011, UCR was ranked sixth nationally in the category of most diverse universities by U.S. News and World Report. The campus is one of only three UC campuses to be designated by the U.S. Department of Education as a Hispanic-Serving Institution.

A method in this regard includes a first step of measuring the input impedance of the test object, and a second step of measuring the return signal pulses, transforming the return signal to the frequency domain, compensating the frequency domain data to remove interference, transforming the data back to the time domain, and representing or evaluating the pulse diagram.

Great Hotel across the road from beachPosted Aug 5, 2014
Pros: Proximity
Cons: Room shower go cold every 3 mins forcing you to turn off cold water and wait 1 minute for it to come back to hot water. to go cold 3 mins later
Close to a wide variety of shops. Half a km walk to walking street and night life you can avail to there. Plenty of bars close to hotel with a wide variety of sports live for you to watch on television. Bar prices very competitive a lovely little bar right on the street at LK Empress.

great location, beautiful hotel.Posted Jul 31, 2014
The Lk Empress is a very nice hotel. close to the action, really nice facilities. My room in NYC, SF, Vegas would have been 200-300 USD$ The low season price for a city view room was about 60$. Not much of a view but the room was beautiful. If you want to splurge, pay more and get a beach view room or a suite. Overall a very nice hotel.

Nice hotel, beautiful view of the beach and seaPosted Jul 16, 2014
Pros: The good thing about this hotel is that the staff will help you with anything you need,excursions,taxis and has a bank machine right beside reception
Cons: The only bad thing I can say is that they over charge for water in the mini bar, do yourself a favour and go to 7/11 which is a 5 minute walk and buy
Location: The lk empress is perfectly located on beach road not too close to the nightlife and walking street but not far away either and right on the beach
I upgraded to a beachfront deluxe room with jacuzzi and had a superb view of the sea, the room was lovely, very clean (rooms are cleaned daily) and very spacious and had everything you would need, ironing board and iron, kettle, television with plenty of channels including a few english speaking ones, I stayed here for three weeks and really enjoyed it

Very nice hotelPosted Jul 4, 2014
Pros: Good quality hotel.
Cons: More hot water in shower!
Location: Close to many bars and shopping. Walking Street is ten minute stroll from location.
I booked pool view room with balcony but still had partial view of the beach. The room was very quiet considering the hotel is located on Beach Road. Buffet breakfast was fine with enough choices to satisfy most people. Housekeeping was very efficient and maintained room to high standard. Probably not the best hotel for families due to compact design but for singles and couples, who prefer to be close to bars and shopping the location is ideal. If you have a friend to stay overnight there is no problem, they must produce proof of identity to reception when entering hotel - good security measure. I would certainly stay at this hotel again. Only one minor problem; the water in the shower varied from hot to cold most of the time, a wee bit annoying but no major drama.

Inference for Extremal Conditional Quantile Models, with an Application to Market and Birthweight Risks
AbstractQuantile regression (QR) is an increasingly important empirical tool in economics and other sciences for analysing the impact a set of regressors has on the conditional distribution of an outcome. Extremal QR, or QR applied to the tails, is of interest in many economic and financial applications, such as conditional value at risk, production efficiency, and adjustment bands in (S,s) models. This paper provides feasible inference tools for extremal conditional quantile models that rely on extreme value approximations to the distribution of self-normalized QR statistics. The methods are simple to implement and can be of independent interest even in the univariate (non-regression) case. We illustrate the results with two empirical examples analysing extreme fluctuations of a stock return and extremely low percentiles of live infant birthweight in the range between 250 and 1500 g.

U.K. shoppers will spend $1.5 billion via mobile devices during the holidays.
Roughly 20% of U.K. shoppers' online spending, about 920 million pounds ($1.5 billion), will take place on mobile devices during the two-week period beginning Dec. 3, according to the IMRG Capgemini eRetail Sales Index.
Overall, U.K. consumers will spend 4.6 billion pounds ($7.3 billion) during that period, say consulting firm Capgemini and e-commerce trade association Interactive Media In Retail Group, or IMRG.
"What we are seeing in this 20% mobile forecast is a shift in the way that consumers interact with brands online," says Tina Spooner, chief information officer at IMRG. "While it is still common for consumers to browse the shops at weekends before making the final purchase online at Monday lunchtime, we are increasingly seeing the popularity of 'second-screening,' where people browse on their mobile devices in front of the TV."

As promised, here is another party outfit I made for one my book signings last month in celebration of the release of BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern.
I chose a painterly print on Spoonflower by Helen Dealtry that she made in collaboration with Jenny Gordy of Wiksten. I had it printed in a cotton silk, which truly brought the colors to life with a little sheen, and made a variation of the Elizabeth Gathered-Waist Dress I designed for the book.
I photographed my project at MoMA PS1 last weekend when I attended the Winter Open House to see CONFETTISYSTEM's new stunning installation, 100 Arrangements. I first wore this dress to my New York book signing last month at the Manhattan Textile Arts Center, where I also teach sewing and draping classes. (Check out the last two photos shot by Victor Castro of WET PAINT at my first book signing.)
In my variation, I shortened the hem on the skirt, used a center back zipper, and made slight fit adjustments to the bodice. For a cleaner finish, I did a blind hem stitch on the hem. Stay tuned to see the other two party dresses I made!
Cotton silk, 24" invisible zipper, fusible interfacing, coordinating thread
