Orra sells gold at fixed price
Sravanthi Challapalli
Chennai , May 19
With the rather relentless rise in gold prices, a fixed price for gold jewellery must come as a pleasant shock to all customers hoping against hope to somehow indulge in a little excess. The jewellery brand Orra says it's been quoting a fixed price for all its diamond-studded jewellery since its launch and that this policy is an advantage at a time when consumers are holding on to their purses, waiting for a correction.
Speaking to Business Line, Mr Vijay Jain, CEO, Orra, said the company could afford to do this as it was a completely integrated company. Orra, part of the Antwerp-based Rosy Blue group, says being present at every stage of the value chain helps it to absorb the vagaries of the trade.
"Despite the rise in gold prices, Orra has seen the best ever sales in April, beating its own internal target by 40 per cent," says Mr Jain. He also doesn't see prices being revised for the next 6-12 months as "we are well hedged in terms of diamonds and golds."
But could that be because Orra is more expensive than other jewellers, to begin with? Mr Jain says the pricing is comparable on "stated quality" - if the customer is told she is getting a certain purity of diamond, say VVS (very, very small inclusions), that is what she gets, and not VS (very small), he claims.
A city jeweller, though, is sceptical. Prices of branded jewellery, in general, are more expensive than comparable products at traditional outlets, he says. They don't go by the traditional valuation of gold, stones, making charges and wastage. Also, these details are made available to the customer in a traditional outlet unlike in a branded outlet where it's not so transparent, he added. At a mark-up of 25-30 per cent in comparison to competition, Orra can well afford to sell its jewellery at a fixed price and still make a profit, he says.
However, Mr Jain says that Orra, being a very small part of a much larger business, does not have to worry about unsold inventory, profits and viability and that its aim is to pass on its benefits to the Indian customer, who believes in value for money. As for the charge that there is little transparency in pricing, he says the weight of gold and diamonds is provided and the customer can calculate backwards to estimate wastage and making charges.
What if the fixed price policy hurts the brand image? "We are established now and the customer is aware of our quality," he says confidently. Pure gold jewellery, however, is sold on the daily rate, but forms less than 2 per cent of Orra's product range. That's because customers should not feel they are paying more on a day the gold price falls, explains Mr Jain.
Mr Naresh H. Mehta, Trustee of the Chennai-based Mehta Jewellery, says the rising prices of gold have made a big dent in purchase. There is no fall in value terms but volumes have fallen by about 25-30 per cent as consumers are buying in smaller amounts. "There will be resistance from customers who are hoping for a correction but prices are definitely going to go up," he says.

Local author and television personality Edie Hand interviewed Ed Foust and his mother, Pam Black, for the program, which airs weekly on the cable and satellite channel RFD-TV.
The segment was filmed at Sumiton Elementary/Middle School during Autism Awareness Month in April.
Black recalled how overwhelmed she felt when her son was diagnosed with autism at age 3.
"I realized that I wasn't breathing. It's that emotional. I could not get past what I had just been told to even take a breath," Black said in one of the clips from the show.
Other guests on the program include singer/songwriter Ashley Harris, who has two children with autism; musician Jerry Bridges, who has a special needs granddaughter; and Hand's co-host, Dr. Daniel Potts.
Other installments of "Rx for Healthy Lifestyles" have focused on childhood cancer, drug and alcohol addiction, bone health, appearance, relationships and art and music therapy.
"I have never seen so many people in so much physical or emotional pain around this country. We want to give them phone numbers, free information and highlight their stories," Hand said.
The "Rx for Healthy Lifestyles" autism special is scheduled to air next Sunday on RFD-TV.

Anytime Fitness personal trainer Brad Webster said the ladies of Mommy Makeover can spend the rest of their lives in the gym, but the bulk of their results will rest on one thing.
"Nutrition is probably the biggest thing," he said. "It is probably right about 85 percent of weight loss."
Webster, personal trainer Rob Land and the gang at Anytime Fitness came up with a set of nutritional guidelines for our three moms, as they work out with personal trainers and let us peek into their weight loss over the next two months.
And just like the rest of Mommy Makeover, we thought we'd let you, the readers, up close and personal with the kind of changes Rebecca, Charity and Jennie are making.
Based on their heights and current weights, the three women will take in between 1,400 and 1,600 calories per day, broken up into three to four individual meals.
"Nutrition is like a roller coaster ride," said Webster. The idea, he says is to keep your blood sugar and calories pretty stable so you have energy all the time. You're looking for the little hills and small dips on the roller coaster when you eat three to four meals a day, rather than one meal, which leaves your body feeling like it's on the Tower of Terror.
Take a look at the kinds of changes the Anytime gang recommends to help these moms get back to their pre-baby bodies.
1. Fill up on colorful fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and veggies are the foundation of good health, Land says. Low in calories, nutrient dense, packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber — there's not much not to like about them. Land said they should be part of every meal and the first choice for a snack. And the women of Mommy Makeover are to eat at least five portions each day.

France is very active in all Argo aspects: data centre, profiler development , float deployment scientific analysis and operational oceanography. French contribution is coordination by the multi-institutes program Coriolis (CNES, CNRS, Ifremer, IPEV, IRD, Météo-France, SHOM)
Data Centre : Coriolis data centre, located in Ifremer/Brest, collect and process more that 400 floats (French European, others). It's also one of the two global centres for Argo For More information
Float development: PROVOR floats have been designed in partnership between Ifremer and Kannad. For More information
Float deployment: Float deployment is an heavy task. French floats have first been deployed in North Atlantic an then in South and Tropical Atlantic, Austral, Indian and Pacific oceans. Collaborations with foreign laboratories on French vessels also exist. For more information
Operational oceanography: France is deeply involved in operational oceanography through Mercator-Ocean (CNES, CNRS, Ifremer, IRD, Météo-France, SHOM) and its European extension within GMES. Multiple applications exists : environment monitoring and ocean climate , security and maritime transport, monitoring and forecast of oil spill , contribute to fishery management, offshore applications Argo data are systematically used by Mercator- Ocean jointly with satellite data to describe and forecast in real time the ocean status. They have a major impact of the quality of the analysis and forecast of the status of the ocean. WWW Mercator.
Scientific Analysis
Most of the French research laboratories involved in oceanography participate to Argo program. Through mission group Mercator/Coriolis they contribute to the float deployment in scientific campaigns and perform innovative studies using Argo data :
Argo floats have been deployed by IRD in Guinea Gulf within EGEE framework managed by IRD( oceanographic part of the international project AMMA. This project aims at improving the knowledge and comprehension of West Africa Monsoon and its variability. Within EGGE, 34 PROVOR profilers have been deployed from 2002 and 2004. These deployments have allowed Gulf of Guinea coverage that have never been achieved before ; They will allow to estimate the evolution of heat content within the mix layer in order to estimate statistics about heat content in this layer and validate regional models ad study the impact of low salinity in the dynamic of the mix layer in the Gulf of Guinea. For more information.
Study the Subpolar Mode Water in North Atlantic. Combining OVIDE cruises data (Greenland-Portugal) to Argo data and historical data for the period 1990-2006, scientists from the Laboratoire de Physique des Océans at Ifremer /Brest have estimated the variability of the Subpolar Mode Water observed between 200 and 500m depth on the Reykjanes Ridge. For more information
ARGO network is the main input to the ARIVO project (Analyse Reconstruction et indicateurs de la variabilité Océanique) from Laboratoire de Physique des Océans at IFREMER/ Brest which try to reconstruct and analyse the temperature, salinity and current fields variability at seasonal and inter-annual scales. It's already possible to monitor the thermal and salinity content of the past 4 years for the global ocean and first current fields derived from Argo show good agreement with altimetry and numerical simulations. For more information
In the West Equatorial Pacific, scientists from IRD have improve El Niño phenomenon understanding , partially thanks to Argo data, highlighting a link between wind burst and salinity structure at surface and sub-surface. During the Frontalis-3 cruise, 20 Provor floats were deployed in April-May 2005. These deployment aims at providing inputs to two complementary scientific issues: study the frontal zone of the « warm pool » in equatorial south west Pacific and study the decadal variability of the thermohaline variability along 165°E, at 20°S of equator . For more information
GOOD HOPE project, coordinated by the Laboratoire de Physique des Océans à Brest, aims at quantifying water exchanges (volume et properties) between Austral, Indian and Atlantic oceans, and to understand the. More than 50 floats have been deployed in this area and have allowed interesting progress in this area. For more information.
The Austral ocean, ARGO data have allowed scientists from Legos at Toulouse to progress in the comprehension of certain water masses behaviour in this region were their formation is very sensitive to climate variation and constitute a privileged CO2 tank and transport of antropic CO2. Argo data in Austral Ocean have become the first source in the area. For more information
Argo data are also used for mean sea level variation studies jointly with tide gages and altimetry data by scientists at LEGOS and CLS. Argo data provide for the first time an accurate measurement of ocean thermal dilatation which explains half of the present sea level. For more information and more

This is it, my new banjo!
Madrone neck, black walnut fingerboard, quartersawn sycamore overlaid on the peghead and the pot. Tuners and strings from the local music shop, fret wire, head, tension hoop, tail piece and tensioners purchased from Stewart-MacDonald.
This was a pretty intimidating project going into it because, 1. I have never built a banjo before and 2. I don't know how to play a banjo to even know what I should or shouldn't do! The build is not complicated but there were some very specific details about the construction that, if I didn't find out about, could have made the banjo difficult to play or maybe not even playable. I found a website that was key in giving me the confidence to attempt to build one for myself here. A Google search for "how to build a banjo" or "building a banjo" found some others that were helpful too.
If you want to check out some really nicely built banjos, check out Seedersinstruments.com, I really like the style and quality look that these banjos have without the usual banjo "flash".
I hope to put up a video "tour" of this banjo and show how it sounds. I can't play so it shouldn't be a very exciting video but interesting, I hope.
Thanks for checking this out!
Here is a video for the banjo.

If you're going to pick two eventual winners in the thin film sweepstakes (ignoring First Solar for now), Japan's Sharp Solar and Solar Frontier need to rank high on your list. Sharp is looking to do it withamorphous silicon (a-Si) in spite of that technology's historicalfailings, while Solar Frontier is focused on CIGS. Sharp looks toregain its one-time number one ranking. Solar Frontier looks to climbto the top (see table).
And the curious thing, at least to my ears, is that in interviews,these Japanese firms are not being their usual diplomatic or politeselves about it. Both have expressed aggressive enthusiasm in taking on First Solar's cadmium telluride dominance of the thin-film solar market head-on.

ATLANTA (AP) — Bond has been denied for a man accused in the abduction of a suburban Atlanta teen.
Wildrego Jackson appeared in federal court in Atlanta on Thursday. Police identified 29-year-old Jackson as a suspect in the hours following the Sept. 17 abduction of Ayvani Perez.
Jackson was arrested the next day when he appeared in court for an unrelated case.
Authorities say armed men broke into the family's home in Ellendale early in the morning and took Ayvani at gunpoint. About 36 hours later, she was dropped off safe at her aunt's home in Conyers.
Jackson faces a federal kidnapping charge. Another man was arrested in the case and is being held on immigration charges.

Pat Anderson is one of our newer and younger members. She is not only enjoying the benefits of belonging to Mill Race Center, twice a week she can be found in the classroom teaching others to play the piano. When she's not teaching, she is taking advantage of the fitness room, the Friday night programs, line dancing, and walks in the park. She is looking forward to maybe using the Wood Shop. She is interested in cartooning, tennis, and SwimAerobics.
She's here because her engineer husband took a position with Cummins. They have two childen, 28 and 25 who are still in Raleigh. They recently bought a house with a big garage. The garage is because he is restoring a 1971 Jensen Intercep- tor (an English car for all of us who are not classic car buffs). They not only like the house, they are happy that there is no long commuting to work. They are quite impressed with how friendly a town Columbus is.
Pat majored in music at Pfeiffer University and her husband went to Virginal Tech. As well as teaching piano here, she gives private lessons in both piano and singing. She enjoys line dancing at Mike's Dance Barn and exploring the shops in Nashville on the weekends.
We're glad to have Pat with us. It looks like she's mastered the art of living well. Here at Mill Race, like the rest of us, she knows she's not getting older, she's just getting better.

Dornbracht- Environmentally Friendly Kitchen Fixtures
October 23, 2008 at 2:30 pm plumbtile 1 comment
I've talked about bathroom design lately, so I want you to know we also offer several decoration and hardware possibilities for the kitchen.
Dornbracht is a German company founded in 1950. The futuristic styling many German designers pioneered was synthesized with traditional ideas that are easily used in today's homes. In their own words they say, "Good design has therefore been central to our philosophy for many years. Our products are not merely decorative; they are an expression of a distinctive bathroom culture."
So what do they have to offer?
Since they specialize purely in water-flow, they emphasize craftsmanship in their faucets, taps, showers and tub fillers. They were certainly right in asserting good design. Their kitchen implements aren't so futuristic as to alienate the mainstream kitchen remodeler, yet some lines do feature some of the vision that German modernists are known for. Some of their products like the Madison Flair Kitchen Faucet have smooth, distinctive lines. These have a more compact 200 mm projection.
This is a traditional look that comes in many configurations. It reminds me of knobby English fixtures from yesteryear. The faucet neck can curve downwards as is standard or attached from the bottom of the fixture in an antique fashion. A cross-handle setup is also possible, though I think it looks best separate from the thermostats. These have a more compact 200 mm projection. It looks fantastic coupled with a basin of stainless steel, but a dark stone surface or a stark white sink would also complement it beautifully.
For something that is a little more post-modern there is the Maro series designed by Sieger. It's angular and more avant-garde, but still very practical. Most of them have a square geometry to them, resulting in flat, waterfall-like flow when turned on. It can help create a minimalist space in your kitchen, which is becoming more popular in smaller work spaces.
The Maro faucet also has a built in aerator in order to make it more environmentally friendly by giving you the same amount of pressure despite using less water. They are completely flush and do not stick out anywhere in the design. I have an environmentally friendly post coming up too, for those who are interested in 'greening' their bath and/or kitchen.
For a middle ground between the traditional and modern looks, the Tara line is perfect. They have under-mounted taps and faucets that combine a straighter, geometric shape with the archetypal structures of older fixtures. A cool selling point on some of the underhand faucets and taps are the extendible arms. The extra reach is measured in millimeters, from 315-485, which translates into about 5 inches.

Have been trying to revise thesis.
Not getting anywhere.
Had an idea for 'little side project' I wanted to do. So I started working on that.
Project ends up several hours and a bunch more involved than I thought. Shell scripts and Hazel recipes and all sorts of complicated intricacies.
But maybe I can write it up, since other people are interested.
Writing it up is complicated, explaining it takes way longer than I thought it would, and I'm still not sure that anyone could follow them even if they survived reading it all.
When I finished I have a completely unusable *4600 words plus 2 Github repositories and a new Gmail account.
"Well," I think, "Maybe it would possible be worth posting on TUAW."
So I send them the link, realizing that it would need major editing to be usable, meaning more time, but at least I'll feel like I made something that was useful and worthwhile.
One of the editors emails me back ~2 minutes later and says "You know…There's an app that does this."
The app is $0.99.
Or free if you don't mind ads.
And 1,000 times easier than my hacked-together disaster of incomprehensible instructions.
So there go two days of my life spent on something that wasn't what I wanted to be working on or needed to be working on, but thought would at least be worth it in the end.
I'm so angry I could punch a kitten.

Those looking for exciting football, avert your eyes. Paraguay and Ecuador might have had a chance here and there, but most of the first half was Paraguay passed the ball around the midfield with no idea what to do once they got into the final third then Ecuador trying to counter-attack, but doing so with two attackers versus five defenders. In short, it was an ugly first half and the 0-0 scoreline is an accurate representation of the match.
Paraguay did generate two good chances to score, but both times Marcelo Elizaga was there to deny them. The first chance came when a good run down the left unlocked the Ecuador defense and led to a free shot for Roque Santa Cruz from 15 yards, but he struck it too close to the keeper and Elizaga made the save. Not long after a cross was bungled by the Ecuador defense and Nestor Ortigoza punced. He struck a shot from close towards the near post, but once again Elizaga was there to deny him.
Of all the chances, Ecuador actually had the best one and it happened to be their only real chance of the first half. A quick counter-attack left Christian Benitez out alone up top versus three defenders, but he didn't hesitate. He dribbled through all three to get in alone on the goalkeeper, but when he went to round the keeper, Justo Villar was able to just barely get a toe to the ball and knocked it away.
The midfield play of Paraguay has been good. They've knocked the ball around fine and any time they've given the ball up they have been quick to win it back. The problem is that Santa Cruz and Lucas Barrios, who are supposed to be Paraguay's deadly strikers, have been strangely static. They've spent too much of the match watching and many of their runs have been late.
If either team were to be picked to win then it would have to be Paraguay, but the truth is that neither team has looked particularly good. With Brazil being surprised earlier in the day in a 0-0 draw against Venezuela, the door is open for Paraguay or Ecuador to win Group B, but after 45 minutes neither looks like they will take advantage of it.

El Universal: Venezuelan banks ought to provide customers' data
The Banks Superintendence (Sudeban) has set July as the deadline for the supply of the additional data from financial institutions as required by the new Overall Financial Information System (SIF).
The SIF contains a number of "atoms" including data that should be provided by bankers; it significantly widens up the supplied information compared with the former system, known by banks as ROCA.
Atom fourteen is among the most worrisome ones for banks. In addition to the requirements of ROCA (ID number, gender, type of account, business, name), banks should provide the Superintendence with the account code of each client, the bank branch which holds the account, date of birth, profession and date of opening of the account.
Add to this atom four, which requires data related to individuals and corporations that have been the recipients of loans.
Specifically, the Tax Registry Number is required, in addition to the "actual address of the taxpayer if an individual," business and citizenship.
Ending May, banks had supplied 82% of the required information; larger financial institutions are falling behind for considering that such data undermine the protection that should be ensured to customers.
Bankers claim to be worried about the possibility of information leakage and undue use.

So I posted this over in another thread but I thought I'd repost it in case anyone missed it.
With so many of our beloved Cards now in the NBA, a couple of friends and I decided we wanted to do an NBA fantasy league. We figured that since we have more of a reason to watch the NBA now that we might as well make it even more interesting.
The problem I have run into is that it looks like we will be 1-2 players short for a full league. I figured that there are a ton of BBall fans on here so I decided to post this to invite you to join the league. the league runs kinda like a football league with head to head matchup each week against another player. Since we are doing this just for fun there is no buy-in.
We are drafting on Monday night at 9:30 so if you are interested please send me an email (firstname.lastname@example.com) as soon as possible. I'll shoot you back an invitation and you can get in on the fun.
Go Cards!

November Record: 13 games played, 6-4-0-3
The month of November started off just as the end of October finished off - four straight wins. The Penguins were winners of eight straight, with the last three wins all coming on the road. But things took a sudden turn for the worse.
Going into a Saturday night tilt with the Norfolk Admirals the spirits were high. The team was 9-2-1-1 and way ahead in the East Division. They lost to the Admirals and were sent in a downward spiral the rest of the month.
Since the eight game win streak, the Penguins finished the month of November 2-4-0-3 and have found themselves now in a first place tie with the Admirals, who beat the Penguins twice in that nine game stretch to begin and hopefully end the so called slump.
After the jump, Highland Park Hockey's player of the month award and grades for every forward on the AHL's Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins. Part two will be posted later tonight with the goaltenders and defensemen.
Think I went too hard (or too soft!) on anyone? Let me know in the comments!

A US-EU Economic Block versus China? How Viable is it? A Note
AbstractThe paper provides a brief analysis of commercial relations between China and the US, both direct and via the so-called 'Asian circuit'. Special emphasis is laid on how production systems in the US and Asia are interdependent. In the light of these relationships and those existing between China and Japan and China and the EU, it seems that a US-EU block, in the context of the present geostrategic and economic situation, is not only unworkable, but also incompatible with the political and economic strategies of China and the United States.

Have you heard about the dangerous, rising cost of not going to college? In the last 30 years, the typical college tuition has tripled. But over the exact same period, the earnings gap between college-educated adults and high school graduates has also tripled. In 1979, the wage difference was 75%. In 2003, it was 230%. Over the last three decades, the cost of going to college has increased at nearly the exact same rate as the cost not going to college. How can the price of getting something and not getting something both rise at the same time? That is the paradox of college costs...

Where Did Congress Go To College?
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum sought to make some political hay by taking President Obama to task for purportedly saying he wants all Americans to go to college.
Speaking to a gathering of some 1,000 conservative activists in Troy, MI Santorum called the president a "snob" for wanting "everybody in America to go to college."
Job Seekers Being Asked for Their Facebook Login Details During Interviews
Disturbing. Emma Barnett reports in the Telegraph:
Justin Bassett, a New York-based statistician, had just finished answering some standard character questions in a job interview, when he was asked to hand over his Facebook login information after his interviewer could not find his profile on the site, according to the Boston Globe.
Bassett refused and withdrew his job application, as he did not want to be employed by a business which would invade his privacy to such an extent.
And it's not only job applicants, even people already on the job are being asked. More from the Telegraph:

While Lee Williams, an online retail worker from the Midlands, told The Telegraph that he was asked by his managing director for his Facebook login details, after his boss had looked him up on the social network and could not see any details about him as his privacy settings were locked down.
Wal-Mart Will No Longer Have People Greeters At The Door
Sign of the times? Claire Gordon writes on AOL Jobs:
… Read the rest
After 30 years, "People Greeters" will no longer welcome Walmart customers with a "cart and a smile." Four months after Walmart got rid of its night-shift "People Greeters," the big-box retailer is moving its day-shift greeters inside the store. Walmart claims it's all in the name of better customer service, but the announcement has left some greeters uncertain about the future of their jobs.
Jerome Allen has greeted morning shoppers at Walmart for five years, the last two at a supercenter in Fort Worth, Texas. He heard through the grapevine that the store was reassigning its night-shift greeters, but was surprised when the store manager called him into his office on Thursday, and told him that there would be no more door greeters at all.
Allen's new position, which begins Feb. 6, will be to stand in "high traffic" areas of the store, ask customers if they need any assistance, and direct the flow of traffic.
Christians Have No Right to Wear Cross at Work, Says UK Government
David Barrett reports in the Telegraph:
… Read the rest
In a highly significant move, ministers will fight a case at the European Court of Human Rights in which two British women will seek to establish their right to display the cross.
It is the first time that the Government has been forced to state whether it backs the right of Christians to wear the symbol at work.
A document seen by The Sunday Telegraph discloses that ministers will argue that because it is not a "requirement" of the Christian faith, employers can ban the wearing of the cross and sack workers who insist on doing so.
The Government's position received an angry response last night from prominent figures including Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury. He accused ministers and the courts of "dictating" to Christians and said it was another example of Christianity becoming sidelined in official life.
How Does The 1% Exploit America? Find Out In 1 Minute
Why Mitt Romney Likes Firing People (Video)
The presidential election is just one big job interview, so it makes sense that as long as we're talking about hiring, we should talk about firing. Mitt Romney recently said: "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. If someone doesn't give me the good service I need, I'm going to go get somebody else to provide that service to me." Horrifying, right? How on earth could any human being like firing anyone? Well, to be fair, he didn't say he liked firing anyone. He said he liked being able to fire someone. And so do you. You do it all the time.
Mystery Kidney Disease Epidemic in Central America
Kate Sheehy reports for PRI's The World:
… Read the rest
In the western lowlands of Nicaragua, in a region of vast sugarcane fields, sits the tiny community of La Isla.The small houses are a patchwork of concrete and wood. Pieces of cloth serve as doors.
Maudiel Martinez emerges from his house to greet me. He's pale, and his cheekbones protrude from his face. He hunches over like an old man — but he is only 19-years-old.
"The way this sickness is — you see me now, but in a month I could be gone. It can take you down all of a sudden," he says. Maudiel's kidneys are failing. They do not perform the essential function of filtering waste from his body. He's being poisoned from the inside. When he got ill two years ago, he was already familiar with this disease and how it might end. "I thought about my father and grandfather," he says.
The Protests in Washington, DC …
Via Nation of Change:
… Read the rest
Roughly 3,000 unemployed workers from around the country are expected in the nation's capitol next week for four days of protests with labor, religious and social justice groups that say Congress cares more about America's wealthiest 1 percent than it does the masses of struggling middle-class families.
Piggybacking on the Occupy Wall Street movement, the three-day "Take Back the Capitol" protest will open Monday with construction of a "Peoples Camp" on the National Mall as a base of operations. On Tuesday, protesters will hit Capitol Hill to lobby members of Congress about extending federal unemployment benefits. The group walks to K Street on Wednesday to protest the political influence of corporate lobbyists.
And on Thursday, they'll host a national prayer vigil for the unemployed on Capitol Hill. At the same time, the AFL-CIO will coordinate simultaneous protests at congressional district offices across the country to call for extending unemployment benefits that are slated to expire Dec.
South Korean Lawmaker Uses Tear Gas to Protest Free Trade with the U.S. (Video)
An opposition MP set off a teargas canister in the South Korean parliament in a failed attempt to prevent the ruling party passing a free trade deal with the US. Proponents said the deal, the largest US trade pact since the 1994 North America Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), could increase commerce between the two countries by up to a quarter. But the opposition claims it will harm South Korean interests, putting jobs at risk ...

Our 'Delay Repay' scheme How it works…Season TicketsHow to claimYour claim
Getting you to your destination on time is our priority. Unfortunately though, things don't always go to plan.
Whilst delays and disruption are often out of our hands,we understand your frustration and are sorry for the inconvenience they cause. In the event of significant delays,we think it's only fair that you receive a refund.
So if you're delayed for over 30 minutes during your journey, you're entitled to compensation in line with our 'Delay Repay' scheme.
All ticket holders (with the exception of free tickets redeemed through the East Coast Rewards loyalty scheme) can receive compensation, no matter what caused the delay.
Back to top
If you arrive at your destination station late as a result of a delay to and/or cancellation of an East Coast service, you can claim:
*Please note that when you purchase two separate Advance Single tickets to make a round trip, these do not constitute a return ticket. The maximum claim will be 100% of the value of the ticket used for that particular journey.
If you have a Season Ticket, you must claim for each individual journey that was delayed. For a weekly, monthly or annual Season Ticket the minimum compensation will be based on the proportional daily cost of the ticket. For example, if a claim is made for one journey on a weekly season ticket, the value of compensation will be based upon 1/10th of the price of the season ticket. If you have a weekly Season Ticket, you need to send a copy of it with your claim.
If we have to introduce an emergency timetable, Delay Repay compensation will be measured against the emergency timetable.
Should you experience a period of sustained poor 'peak' punctuality, we will consider compensating you over and above the arrangements outlined in consultation with Passenger Focus and London TravelWatch. Please note this compensation will only be considered for delays occurring during peak hours.
'Peak' is defined as trains scheduled to arrive at London King's Cross between 07:00 and 09:59, and trains scheduled to depart from London King's Cross between 16:00 and 18:59, on Mondays to Fridays, excluding Bank Holidays.
To help us process your claim quickly we advise that you make your claim within 48 hours of the delay.
This form should only be used for delays experienced on East Coast train services. If you experience a delay on any other service, please contact that train company.
Help us to give you the best possible service by providing us with as much information as you can:
To submit a claim online please click here or download and complete an application form and forward to us at:
Delay Repay,Freepost RSRJ-LJCX-GHSTPlymouthPL4 6AB
Please note
These must be submitted within 28 days of travel. Application forms are also available from our stations and on-train teams.

The ugly/st bass EVER man!
1 Attachment(s)
Right this is the thread where you can post pictures of Unique and Interesting Basses, and we can all drool, hurl, or generally comment over them.. etc, heres a picture of a Paul Mcartney Violin Bass, the most disgusting thing ive ever seen instrumentally-wise. :smash:
Yeah, these basses are really ugly. That design doesn´t work on a bass. Neither the les paul design works.
The rickenbackers are ugly, too. Although they have to outputs for real stereo sound.
Ohhhh, dudes....That bass kicks. Paul Macartney used something like that. And Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith.
I hate the body. I hurle everytime i see a picture of the beatles with that travesty of a bass in the picture.
wannabe you have no taste in bass (damn that rhymes :D )
cheers! to the ugliest bass ever! :beer:
Well... That bass must have a great sounding... Most of that design bass are cool :D
But it looks ugly, yeah.
Yep, looks horrid. Only thing I hate just as much is the damn Fender telecaster body style, which I think they've thrown on basses.
yeah, that shit that fender came up with, the Sting bass, with telecaster body, NOW that's ugly!
I don't like warwick either though, because of the weird body shape, and I hate the Ibanez ADB or something, that thing looks like an arrow or something
and the world most uglies bass is the DanElectro, dude those things look like airplanes haha
Do you mean the ATK-series. Yeah, the head looks ugly.
Why is the body design of Warwick weird? Perhaps the thumb-bass. But it isn´t that strange. Ritter (again, i know :rolleyes: :) ) is strange, or the one from DeArmond, this small one with latex-strings.
@ tatter3d
What the hell rhymes there?:confused:
Taste and bass dude...
yeah but the warwick's headstock looks like a flat turd or something man, I don't like it.
nah I didn't mean the ATK series but the ergodyne A series, those bitches with piezo pickups you know.. ADR or something.
Yes, i know. This one made out of luthite that looks like the newest generation of the Enterprise. I hate Star Trek (no offense against Trekkies, it´s just my opinion and just an example). The same with those "basslab"-basses.
yeah haha, I like StarWars way better, Hanz Einzelganger Rules! (han solo!)
I do like the stingray design, you know MM...
but the warwicks are not for me, marleaux and ritter aren't for me either, fender isn't for me, peavey ain't for me and rickenbaker ain't for me..
ain't I a bitch ;)
yeah ive seen them star wars ones, they are cool, i mean id prefer something else, like the simpsons or buffy the vampire slayer..ehehe :D
Cheers! :beer:
:confused: Hanz Einzelgänger.:confused: Aha!!! Lame one.;)
You´re just an ibanez bitch. That´s it.:p
yes I am..
and DAMN buffy the vampire slayer, or better said, sarah michelle gellar, she's hot as fucking hell!!! :p :p :p
I would love to dicky-dick her ;)
yeah dude, have a the buffy vampire design, a picture of her naked on your bass, fucking masturbating and jamming at the same time..ahaha,man.. :D :D
Cheers! :beer:
Here's one that's bound to beat that piece of garbage.
This bass gives me a boner it's so fucking cool.

Atmosphere sounds
So, I'm in the midst of yet another stage production, this time about one of my personal heroes - Galileo Galilei.
Thing is, that in my last two pieces I experimented a bit with using sounds instead of props to create a scene and I want to attempt and bring that a little further this time. Which of course would require, well, sounds. What I'm wondering is if any of you know of any good databases or sources with all kinds of sounds; people, wind, weather, ye old city streets, birds and so on. I already have a little, and of course we can record quite a bit on our own. But I just thought that, hey, if any of you know of something, there's no reason I should have to persuade Paddy to help me convince the rest of ya by doing something horrible with a certain pokemon dancer whose name he can't spell.

By SCOTT WEISSER
GOSHEN — A key witness in the felony murder trial of three young men said Wednesday he'd lied during earlier testimony.
Jose Quiroz, 17, formerly of Elkhart, also said he'd been pressured to take a plea deal in the case by prosecuting and defense attorneys. Chief Deputy Prosecutor Vicki Becker disputed that claim, and Quiroz's former lawyer defended his conduct under oath.
Anthony Perez Sharp Jr., 19, Goshen, Blake Layman, 17, Elkhart, and Levi Sparks, 18, Elkhart, are being tried in Elkhart Circuit Court. The charges stem from a botched burglary on Elkhart's south side Oct. 3, 2012.
Prosecutors allege that Layman, Sharp, Quiroz and Danzele Johnson broke into the home of Rodney Scott at 1919 Frances Ave. Sparks allegedly waited outside as a lookout.
Scott, awakened by the noise of the break-in, fired several shots from a .9mm handgun at the intruders. Johnson, 21, Goshen, was killed. Layman was wounded in the leg.
Prosecutors charged the alleged intruders with felony murder. Under Indiana law, if someone dies during the commission of a felony, those who were engaged in the underlying felony can be charged in the person's death.
Late last year, Quiroz entered a plea deal with Elkhart County prosecutors. He received a 45-year sentence to the Department of Correction, plus 10 years on probation.
In court Wednesday, Quiroz said information he offered during his guilty plea was false. That testimony implicated all the defendants now on trial.
'I don't recall'
Quiroz indicated he'd said what attorneys wanted to hear. According to his testimony, he was fearful of receiving an enhanced prison sentence of more than 100 years. With benefit of the plea deal and good-time credit, the teen could be out of prison in 22 years or less.
Quiroz said Wednesday that he, Layman and Johnson entered the Scott home Oct. 3. He testified that Sharp wasn't with him, and Sparks didn't assist him.
Not recalling prior statements or events was a recurring theme in Quiroz's testimony Wednesday. There was a key exception.
"The only thing I recall is Dan — Danzele Johnson — dying in my arms," he said. Quiroz also said he remembered running from police.
Becker pointed out that Johnson died in Scott's home. She asked Quiroz if that meant he was in the residence, too.
"Evidently, ma'am, yes," he replied.
Becker also quizzed Quiroz about his November plea hearing in Circuit Court. She questioned Quiroz as to whether Judge Terry Shewmaker asked if he'd been threatened or coerced into the plea. Becker also asked Quiroz whether he provided facts about the crime during that hearing.
"I don't recall," the defendant replied to both queries.
Quiroz was also questioned by defense lawyers Jeff Majerek, Mark Doty and Vincent Campiti. He testified that he felt pressured by Becker and public defender Peter Todd.
"Were you fearful of receiving a much higher sentence?," Doty asked. Yes, Quiroz said.
Under questioning by Campiti, Quiroz indicated he'd lied throughout the entire legal process.
"There was no conspiracy, was there?," Campiti asked Quiroz, referring to the Oct. 3 break-in and the defendants.
Campiti also said that after the plea hearing, Quiroz wrote a letter to the court indicating he'd felt threatened. And on the day of his sentencing, Campiti said, Quiroz wanted to withdraw his guilty plea.
On the witness stand Wednesday, Todd testified that as a defense attorney, he's bound by certain ethical standards. If he doesn't follow them, he faces the revocation of his law license.
"I never threaten any of my clients," he said. "...I never even tell my clients what to do."
Todd indicated he outlines the range of potential legal outcomes for his clients. He said he told Quiroz there was a possibility he could face more than a maximum 65-year prison term via a criminal gang sentence enhancement.
"(Quiroz) didn't want to go to trial," Todd said. The attorney said he told Quiroz his only real option was to take a plea deal because it was unlikely prosecutors were going to dismiss the case.
Questioned by Becker, Todd said she hadn't threatened Quiroz, and that neither of them told Quiroz what to say.
Portions of the transcript of Quiroz's November plea hearing were read in court Wednesday. Quiroz testified then that before the break-in at Scott's house, Sparks knocked on doors at a couple of different homes. There were dogs at one residence, Quiroz testified, and somebody home at another.
Quiroz said in November that he, Layman, Sharp and Johnson entered the Scott home. While they were inside, he said, someone started shooting.
"Do you understand that had you not engaged in burglary, Danzele would not be dead?" Becker asked at the prior hearing.
Yes, Quiroz had replied.

Watch for Sale: Orient Power Reserve CFD0001W0
Watch can not be hand wound. But Orient rotors wind beautifully! So this really should not be a concern not to buy the watch. I first thought this would be a disadvantage too, but a little swaying gives you 2 hours of power reserve and while wearing it, it is a real joy to see that power reserve gradually build up
Why I think this
watch is interesting:
Case diameter (excl.crown): 37 mm
Height: 11 mm
Lug to Lug: 42 mm
Lug width: 20 mm
Bracelet tapered 20 mm to 16 mm
Details about this Watch
Price: Is firm, my margins are very
small, no additional discounts sorry. See the overview table for the price

Thanks to Tieman for sharing this one at his tasting.
2012 vintage.
Pours a clear orange with a foamy khaki head that settles to a thin cap on top of the beer. Foamy streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, fruits, alcohol and some earthy aromas. Taste is much the same with an alcohol kick and a mild hop bitterness with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that smells better than it tastes in my opinion.

750ml into a tulip. Pours a slightly hazed deep orange amber copper, orange cream colored dense towering head recedes looking like a dairy product, nice lacing.
Aroma is a sweet treat. Multitudes of light skinned fruits, flowers, honeysuckle, little citrus plus a dab of sock from a summer leather shoe.
A strong but brief rustic note hits as the intro to the short lived aftertaste which is predominately a very mild nutty herbal bitter. Feels like it's on the cusp of going old world farmhouse until it doesn't. Evolves significantly with warmth to its betterment as a sweetness comes forward.
Light to medium bodied lively crisp mouthfeel.

Pours a copper color with a slight haze, head is white-ish, retention is average it eventually just leaves a ring in my glass. The aroma is of sweet malts, maybe slightly fruity, a little bit of grape. The taste has nice malt flavors without being overbearingly malty, it gives some breast and toffee flavors With a bit of zest and pepper in the background. Mouthfeel is medium/heavy, though inwasn't sure what to expect from a Biere de garde. I like this beer, it's well made, certainly fun to try, but I think I may prefer some of their other also fantastic beers.

Appears hazy medium bodied orange. There is a huge white head when first poured. The head dissipates quickly.
It smells of caramel, pepper, lemon, honey, grapes. There is a nice fruity east smell to the beer. There is also a nice malty caramel presence to the smell as well.
It tastes initially of pepper, lemon, and orange. There is a great caramel smell as well. There is a nice fruity yeasty flavor as well. The balance between the yeast flavor and the malty flavor is excellent. This was not that complex but it tastes great and it is somewhat refreshing.
The mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing. The carbonation is quite strong.
The drinkability is quite excellent. It is a smooth beer and it is quite refreshing.
Overall this is quite a nice beer it is not complex but it is a nice beer. I think that it is an amazing beer but it is not the best

Wow. Scores say it all. Very good but not exceptional all around.
A: Deep black tea color with some mahogany and maroon when light shines through. Sloid head. ot huge, but given the richness of the beer it has some retention around the edges.
S: Bisquity, hot cocoa, malted oats and toffee.
T: Very malt driven. Rich without pronounced weight. More than a hint of sweetness. Heath bar, oat, fig, candied nut.
M: Silky on the palate. Carbonation is not a consideration here. Rich but refreshing. Deftly balanced.
D: Distinctly drinkable for the style. Abv willverwhelm after time, but no problem tossing back a couple/few. Slight lingering sweetness would be the biggest downside.

4.08/5 rDev +10.3%
Appearance: Pours a cloudy copper color with the kind of thick head you would expect from a Trappist; great retention and a fair amount of lace
Smell: Toffee and cookie dough
Taste: Toffee, cookie dough, nuts and a bit of sweet apple/pear character developing by mid-palate; after the swallow, there is a bit of bready dryness that arrives to tame the sweeter elements
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Drinkability: Though it doesn't have the yeasty complexity of some beers in this genre, I really liked it quite a bit and it was very enjoyable to drink

2009 vintage on draught at the brewpub. Bridal Ale is bronze with a small off-white head, leaving no lace.
Smell is lots of caramel sweetness, like Sugar Daddy candy.
Taste is remarkably like Grape Nuts cereal. Not as sweet as the nose, there's a firm bitterness from the marked increase in hops from previous vintages, which provides a nice balance.
Mouthfeel is dry, medium bodied, but a bit of stickiness.
Drinkability is good, perhaps a tad syrupy, although that is true to style. This is a loosely defined style which affords a lot of variability, and this years vintage is as good an example as any. Quaffable, tasty and smooth.

So... where to begin...
I don't think I've ever sampled a "bridal ale" before, so not sure how to rate this based on style. So I'll just rate it based on my preference:)
Bottle came with the cork and cage, gold foiled on top, and vintage 2005 stamped on the side. It pours an golden/reddish color, with a small white head which diminishes pretty quick. The smell is very nice; quite malty with a bit of a heavy, fruity undertone. Taste is also very malty, and what I'd call autumn spices in the aftertaste. Carbonation level is a little light for my taste but for the style it fits nicely. Overall not bad, but I was expecting a little 'pow' from Pelican, especially for the 14$ price tag.

4.22/5 rDev +14.1%
Not sure if this stylistic designation is correct, but we shall see...
In my Kasteel chalice, it's a darkish mahogany/ crimson coloration, with lovelyu creamy froth atop...
In the nose, sweet, light, creamy, malt-dominated, very bready, lightly floral...nice...
Taste: dark and malty, rich and nearly thick...bready and hefty, spicy, like a gingerbread brew, nearly....quite nice, and fairly unique, some lemon zest shines through in the flavor...a real mouthfull, this one, a mess of complicated flavors. Hard not to like it. Most pleasurable, this.
A big bottle, a lot to contend with, to be sure, and my opinion does not change...this is a hard-to categorize ale, that just spills out deliciousness. Sweet, luscious, fruity malt, some slight hops, and a medium body, light, fruity finish.
Very good beer. Tas-teee!

Sampled at the Pelican Pub & Brewery in Pacific City, Oregon.
Bridal Ale is a limited offering. I'm not sure if Pelican brews this regularly or if this is a one-off.
A golden ale with a light white head. There is a little malt and hops in the aroma. It has a nice apple-like, buttery taste. It has a crisp mouthfeel and little aftertaste.

"Becoming Myself" Book Tour
May 10, 2006
The Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) and retailer Marshalls are bringing the newly released book, Becoming Myself by Willa Shalit, to life for high school students in New York, Chicago and Boston.
The tour is giving students messages about self esteem, staying true to oneself, and the importance of healthy relationships, which are woven throughout the book.
Becoming Myself is an inspiring collection of essays from diverse and notable women on the experience of being female. It includes 67 original essays from celebrities and writers, including Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, J.K. Rowling, Maya Angelou, Kate Spade, and FVPF Founder and President Esta Soler. The essays offer insight into how these exceptional women became who they are today.
The tour features a lively, interactive seminar with Shalit, FVPF representative Jeanine Hays, and a celebrity in each city. In New York City on Monday, May 8th, students at St. Jean Baptiste High School heard from actress and singer Vanessa Williams, who recounted her personal story of growing up female. On Wednesday, May 10th, students at Chicago's William Jones College Prep will hear former United States Senator Carol Moseley Braun recount her personal story. And on Friday, May 12th, actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler of HBO's "Sopranos" will speak in the Boston area at Noonan Business Academy in Dorchester to share her story of growing up female.
In addition to the Becoming Myself Tour, Marshalls will hold an in-store donation program benefiting the FVPF from Sunday, May 14th to May 27th, allowing customers to give a dollar for domestic violence awareness and prevention at check-out. Becoming Myself is available at all Marshalls locations. Partial proceeds from the book go to the Family Violence Prevention Fund.
