In another time, in another place, Paddy McAloon might have been happily productive somewhere between the Algonquin and Broadway in 1930s New York ("I want to be," he once crooned, hopefully, "the Fred Astaire of words.") Or beavering away in an office in the Brill Building in the 50s. Or maybe some place on that off-kilter middle of the road between Burt Bacharach and Jimmy Webb in the 60s. Almost anywhere, you might have thought, other than Britain in the mid-80s.
Some hard-hearted professors of pop would have it that 1985 was the absolute nadir of British music: all the fizz of new pop gone flat, the independent scene a twee shambles. Yet in records such as the Blue Nile's A Walk Across The Rooftops, the Pet Shop Boys' Please, Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, Scritti's Cupid and Psyche 85, and especially in Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen, you have some of the most beautiful, enduring British pop music ever made. For a year or two, just before Live Aid and Q magazine, the challenge of making new pop for grown-ups without being dowdy, smug, or jaded was met, quite superbly. It's this guile and grace that bands like Stars and Junior Boys still yearn for.
The Sprout-- it's ironic that a writer so fleet-footed lumbered himself with such a clunking band name-- had debuted in 1984 with Swoon, a record that suggested they were post-graduates of the Glasgow School, taking the Postcard label template to new levels of cryptic wit and elliptical jangle. But as McAloon made plain, his ambitions were far grander. He aspired to the standards of Stephen Foster, Gershwin, Sondheim, Quincy Jones, McCartney; saw himself as a contemporary of Prince rather than Lloyd Cole. He had a grand sense of pop music, and in 1985, that kind of grandeur seemed to be available via producers like Thomas Dolby.
McAloon has said that Steve McQueen is Dolby's record-- he presented the producer with a vast archive of songs and asked him to choose his favorites. Yet this is true most obviously in the profoundly 80s sonic palette. Rather wonderfully and typically, it seems that Dolby even chose to play the banjo on the opening track, the country pastiche "Faron Young", via a Fairlight sampler. And the presence on this new reissue of an additional disc of acoustic versions of the songs-- which took longer to record than the original-- suggests that McAloon now feels embarrassed, as though the production has dated or even damaged his songs.
I think he needn't be so bashful; one of the defining qualities of the record is its pop ambition, its willingness to engage with its times, precisely by not being a sullen singer-songwriter would-be timeless classic. Imagine if Sinatra had decided that Nelson Riddle's arrangements tied his albums to closely to the early 50s. According to this additional disc, Steve McQueen might have been some perfectly prim and pleasant Go-Betweeny acoustic curio, rather than how it ended up: the kind of record you imagine Elvis Costello might have made had he been signed to ZTT and been ensconced in a studio with Trevor Horn.
One thing the new versions do highlight is the astonishing maturity of the songs. Coincidentally, almost all of Dolby choices dated from 1979, when Paddy was 22. Yet they sound all the more appropriate sung by a man of 50. "Life's not complete, 'til your heart's missed a beat," he sighed on "Goodbye Lucille #1", but now when he sings "and you'll never get it back," his voice breaks with the wisdom of another two decades.
Ironically, considering the producer's name, it's a record in so many ways about infidelity. Or let's say about the consequences of romanticism. Take that cover: Paddy, looking like a dreamy young D.H. Lawrence, astride the kind of Triumph that would have carried the record's namesake to freedom. But the whole album rails against easy escapism: "Appetite", sung from the perspective of a girl left to bring up the baby of some young firebrand; "Desire As" seeing no escape from a lifetime of new flames; the rueful regrets of "Bonny".
And maybe I'm too much a child of those times myself, but it still sounds great to me: the glittering guitar that opens "Goodbye Lucille", the 10cc/ZTT moments of "When Love Breaks Down". Even Wendy Smith's gaseous backing vocals, haunting the record like the ghost of Hayley Mills.
In fact it seems to me that instead of stripping back the songs from their 80s incarnations, the additional disc could have more profitably commissioned some original covers. McAloon was, after all, the original Stephin Merritt, so there's no reason why he shouldn't have his own Sixths. You can imagine these songs performed by, oh, Marianne Faithfull, Bryan Ferry, Will Young, Kylie Minogue, Rufus Wainwright, or Antony Hegarty. A handful of these songs have the quality of standards: there's no reason why their real after-life shouldn't begin now.

Some in East Texas Are Camping With Purpose
The Texas Regional Rainbow Gathering is underway in East Texas. Campers have set up tents similar to these, and the event will run for about two weeks.
The Rainbow Family says on its website it's sometimes referred to as the largest non-organization of non-members in the world. They have no leaders, and no organization. And they say, "To be honest, the Rainbow Family means different things to different people. I think it's safe to say we're into intentional community building, non-violence, and alternative lifestyles. We also believe that Peace and Love are a great thing, and there isn't enough of that in this world. Many of our traditions are based on Native American traditions, and we have a strong orientation to take care of the the Earth. We gather in the National Forests yearly to pray for peace on this planet."
As the campers camp, they are careful to recycle as much material as possible, share meals, and work together because they want to, not because they have to.
KTRE reports this is the first time in two decades the Rainbow Gathering has taken place in East Texas. It started Friday at the Angelina National Forest in Zavalla.
To find out more, visit the Texas Regional Rainbow Gathering website. The event runs through Sunday.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1' Makes All of the Money and It's Still Not Enough
There's going to be a lot of blood and ink spilled across the internet on the subject of the opening weekend for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1.' Yes, the third film in the series did open significantly lower than its predecessors. Yes, there are definitely people at Lionsgate wringing their hands and trying to figure out why the film opened below expectations. And yet, that opening weekend is still massive.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A leading Islamic cleric in the Gaza Strip has ruled it a sin to violate the recent cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas militant group that governs the Palestinian territory — according a religious legitimacy to the truce and giving the Gaza government strong backing to enforce it.
The fatwa, or religious edict, was issued late Saturday by Suleiman al-Daya, a cleric respected by both ultra-conservative Salafis and Hamas. Salafi groups oppose political accommodations with Israel.
"Honoring the truce, which was sponsored by our Egyptian brethren, is the duty of each and every one of us. Violating it shall constitute a sin," the fatwa read.
The truce, which was struck Wednesday to bring an end to an eight-day Israeli offensive against Gaza militants who fired rockets into Israel, remains fragile, however, and details beyond the initial cease-fire have not yet been worked out. The fighting killed 169 Palestinians, including dozens of civilians, and six Israelis.
The spokesman for Gaza's Hamas government, Taher Nunu, told reporters Sunday that Hamas is committed to the truce.
"The government reaffirmed its blessing to the agreement sponsored by Cairo and emphasized that it will work to the internal Palestinian consensus and the supreme national interest," he said, following a government meeting.
Hamas demands that Israel and Egypt lift all restrictions on the movement of goods and people in and out of the Palestinian territory. The restrictions have been imposed since the Islamists seized the territory in 2007.

Problem with foliage on lilies and lirope.
My lilies and varigated lirope all have yellow spots on the foliage. Will too much water cause this?
Thanks for writing. Yellow spots on leaves are often caused by fungal diseases, which can be encouraged by too much water. But without being able to see your plants, I can't really say for sure what the problem is.

i work in animal rescue and have used both ace (available only through a vet) and draminine or even benadryl (over the counter). i only use ACE if the dog really hates travel or if very very nervous dog. Just for basic motion sickness i use draminine. it works great on most dogs. if i have a dog that is a little anxious a simple benadry works. it makes them a little sleepy and the ride isn't as bad. Plus both over the counter is safe for most dogs and works out of their systems much quicker than the ace.
Maggie my own dog is terrified of storms. She paces and hyperventalates. the vet actually prescribed her a type of valium but this is only for extreme cases

We used to give tranqs of some kind to my cat when we traveled with her, but she handles it much better now so we don't bother. BuilderBob mentioned not giving anything to animals when flying; that's because if you tranquilize animals before flying, they could die en route. It has to do with their ability to breathe, and the extreme temperatures of the cargo hold.

I prefer natural remedies to medicines, and I have used both Rescue Sleep (like Rescue Remedy) and Dogswell "Mellow Mut" treats for my dog's nerves. Both seem to work well for her. Mellow Mut treats have chamomile & hops in them, which are herbs. Rescue Sleep is made with flower essences.

I don't have a dog but when I first brought one of my cats in the car for a trip, he freaked. Hyperventilated and all. I got a mild tranquilizer from the vet. I gave it to my cat before we got in the car and he was calm all the way...slept too. But the good thing is, after two times giving the tranquilizer and a ride in the car, my cat did not need it anymore. He was "desensitized." He identified riding in the car with calmness w/o the tranquilizer.

This is in reference to Snowleopard "Top down, bottom up, inside out." In reference to the Wallstreet protester who took a dump on a police car. Tie a rope around his pants between his legs, throw the other end around a street lamp. Raise him off the ground top down-bottom up and then take a pressure washer and skin the idiot of his clothes and epidermis. Then leave him hanging, Top down–bottom up–inside out. See how many others would defecate out in the open. Also one way to get rid of the filth left by the protestors is water canons on large trucks. Sweep the protesters and their filth into the sewers where they came from.

Wallis, can't call you Reverend however you are a terrible example of what is called Christian.
I read what you said about the wall street protesters and thought "If that is correct, The protesters stand with Jesus." I must have missed something in my bible studies for the last 60 years, so I thought to myself, I must regroup and do some intense study of Jesus, Also I wasn't/am not sure which Jesus you meant either. Was it Jesus Bar Joseph of which Josephus wrote, a terrorist [Zealot] priest after Zadok who was the first priest to serve in the first temple constructed in Jerusalem.[Zadokite]. He was crucified by the Romans according to Flavus Josephus in the time as written in the New Testament. Then there is Jesus the Christ who was a figment of the Roman Emperor Constantine somewhere in the third/forth century. Or maybe it is the Jesus of Mexican race who lives today and sometimes rails in the streets.
I will say one other thing Mr. Terrible Wallis, I never found anywhere any reference to Jesus Bar Joseph nor Jesus the Christus crapping on any public chariots. I do hope you Mr. Terrible Wallis, know your Jesus, because the one who is supposedly the living Son of God is going to judge you some day. You goin to be really really sorry, huh?

An uncomfortable mix of religion and public school. I would like to know one thing of the idiots who are causing God to be banned from schools in this nation. Who the he11 do you think you are? If these Coaches had any cajones, they would tell the school board to shove it. If the people who call themselves Christian had any cojones they would flood the school boards in this nation. What did the Obama minions call the people in the south, Bible carrying, gun toting red necks. Well Maybe both should be used on these God hating people. If Obama can incite the blacks to riot, maybe the whites should beat them to it. It is going to come to a race war with Obama in charge, so we should just, what does the military call it?, Preempt it. If the white people in this country don't wake up soon, we will all be living in a form is Kenya and/or Somalia. Obama is nothing more than a black warlord.

Ordered this on ebay along with the Missha M bb cream. I found the Missha M to have the same texture as a regular foundation, whereas this one has a lovely light texture like a tinted moisturizer but quite pigmented. When I compared them side-by-side on my arm, the Missha is more pink/orange and has a noticeable sheen, whereas the Skin 79 is more neutral/beige and sinks right in.
Unfortunately both creams were too dark for my extremely fair (Mac NC/NW 10) skin. The Skin 79 was a tiny bit darker but actually looked better on my face because it's so neutral, but I'd have to put it on my neck as well, and I'm not looking to darken my skin. So, I passed this one on to a friend whose skin is fair but slightly darker and more olive (she's from the Philippines). She found the Missha M too light in color but loves the Skin79. I must say it looks amazing on her -- not like makeup at all but like naturally perfect skin. I wish there was a lighter shade and I would buy it in a heartbeat to have my moisturizer, sunscreen and foundation in one.
This is marketed to ladies over 30, and I do think it might not work for very oily skin, but it's not at all greasy feeling IMO. I'm 40 and the friend I gave this to is in her late 30s.

Bought a 4 sample kit of skin79 on ebay and tried most of all and the cavier gold label and the super bright pinks where my fave....but sometimes my skin shows mini dry flakes from my pores? Any one have suggestions to cure this? Mac makeup artist told me to ex-foliate before applying cosmetics but that is a hassle for me because I'm in a rush..Any way bb creams there are more to try. I really would like a goood bb cream that gives a buildable coverage.
I haven't tried too many bb creams, but I can say that I wont be looking for any more atm because i'm very much in love with this one. Actually I've only tried about 3, one from missha, skinfood mushroom bb, and another skin79 one (oriental) and I can say, I'm pretty happy with this. I bought mines off of skin79usa.com (a bit pricey compared to ebay sellers, but just want to be safe u know?)
all in all, it's pretty sheer but has much better coverage (more matte?) then the oriental and suits my dry skin pretty well. It took care of the blackheads on my nose (not sure how) and my acne scars seemed to be fading, but I break out once in a while still, nothing the bb cream triggered. It also makes my face look dewy and fresh, but not oily kind of glow. overall, this is a pretty decent bb cream. Can't leave the house without this now ><

i bought this in Hong Kong.
i've used several BB creams, including BRTC, Dr Jart, Dr G, Feverlet, The Face Shop, The Skinfood, etc. This is not one of my favourites.
Colour doesn't really suit my skin, and it doesnt last the whole day!
I hate the be the one naysayer on a product with otherwise great reviews! This product broke me out on the same day as using it and it just got worse from there. I use Dr Hauschka products that have never irritated my sensitive skin or broke me out. I use sweet almond oil as a moisturizer. I generally use mineral makeup (Alima or Lily Lolo) as my foundation of choice. My skin's been in fairly decent condition. Lately I've been reading a lot of Japanese fashion magazines and I'm just so envious of their perfect, smooth complexions! I got greedy and wanted more coverage and something that would provide a smooth, even base for the powder on top. The first day I wore this with only the BB cream. No powder or other foundation on top. That night I had two lovely cystic pimples to greet me when I got home. They were really unlike any others I've ever had. I hate to be TMI, but it was as if they were already infected. One of them burst as I was removing my makeup (I use avocado oil) and it was definitely green pus that came out. Anyway, after cleansing and toning the spots were already calmed down. By morning the inflammation had gone down completely and they were just a hint of pink instead of the red, angry monsters seen previously. I decided to bite the bullet and try it again. Day two I used the BB cream and a light dusting of MMU on top. This didn't look so hot at first because the mineral makeup seemed to REALLY show on top the cream. I thought maybe it'd melt into my skin throughout the day so I just went with it. My skin looked pretty dry from quick checks in the mirror and a bit cakey from the MMU. At the end of the day the two spots from the night before were full and angry plus I had one more on my forehead that popped up to say hello. Washed, skin calmed, slept, mostly better by the next morning. Once more I decided I hadn't had enough and tried it again. This time BB cream and a very light bit of mineral finishing powder, applied with a puff instead of a brush. The good news is that it looked GREAT. (That's where the one lippie comes from.) Seriously looked exactly how I wanted it to. I should have used concealer to cover up the rosy, less angry spots and my dark circles as BB cream is not great at camouflaging redness. However, I didn't want to upset my skin more than necessary and left it alone. With a great, creamy concealer it would've looked absolutely amazing. I really can't fault that. Just like clockwork, by night another friend had appeared. The next morning I decided to call it quits and stop using the stuff. I do love the smell and the bottle's pretty nifty. (Kind of wish it had a cap though.) I should probably add that I'm really sensitive to silicones depending on the product and type. Example: anti-chafing gel breaks me out like no other as does Smashbox primer, but I can use Chanel's "Le Blanc De Chanel" with very little to no upset with my skin.
I really wanted to love this. Kind of bummed that I don't. Maybe it's better for not so sensitive skin types and probably non acne prone. My skin usually behaves, but this time it just didn't like the product. Better luck next time.
Oh, also. The price was decent. I got it from Ebay along with some other skin79 BB creams and a couple from Mischa. Shipping was decent and the price was reasonable. It came pretty quick too, considering it was direct from Korea. I suppose the one lippie can count for that.

I totally love this bb cream. I was afraid this was going to be too light for my skin tone. I have a yellow-warm skin tone and I am a medium-dark girl. But this bb cream brightens my skin and covers well. However I have noticed that after some time the cream kinda starts to fade and doesn't look like it can conceal much. So, for short times, like say 4-6 hours this can stay put and look really lovely on your face. Its not hard to use...it has the consistency of a tinted moisturiser and is easy to apply.

This is very moisturizing but mattifying at the same time. It is a medium light color but I think it would work on a range of very light to medium skin color. It covers well and looks amazing. I do not know about if there is any skin care in it though.

BB Creams are an all in one product, you need to use a oil cleanser to properly remove.
A few weeks ago I had no idea what a BB Cream was and after two days of research, I picked this. The pretty packaging and gold did sway my decision, when picking one off eBay. After all my research I also knew a good cleansing oil would be necessary, so I purchased one of those too.
When I finally received this, I went ahead and started using it before my cleansing oil arrived. First off the packaging is nice with a pump and sleek bottle all in one, but travel wise wouldn't be ideal. The actual BB cream has a floral smell to it which I actually liked, but some may find it to much since it hangs around for a while.
I only used one pump since that is the directions and applied it to my face after my moisturizer had it's ten minutes to soak in. The cream had some drag to it and but did fully cover my entire face. The color is very light and gray (I'm a NC/NW 20) and after waiting 10 minutes it did not adjust to my tone, so I went ahead used my CS foundation on top. Flawless, more like a primer but when it says it help wrinkles yeah because your face is...tight? it hard to explain but you will not wrinkle or crease.
I cleaned my face very well every night when I wore this (3 days), but ended up breaking out.
UPDATE (01/01/2011) The coloring of this makes it great for Zombie makeup, other than that, stay away.
My favorite BB cream so far!
I own: BRTC (the blue one),, Dr. Jart (the black one), Skin Food Mushroom and one other one that I can't think of right now but this one is the best so far...
I like how it moisturizes but feel so light and airy. It makes my skin look and feel so smooth and soft. It gives it the same look as my MUFE HD foundation but not as heavy or time consuming to put on- it creates a very primed and airbrush look for me. I still love that foundation but will save it for special occasions and this will be my every day cover.
Out of the pump it has a gray undertone but blends in seamlessly into my golden yellow, NC 30-35 skin tone and one pump is all you need to cover my whole face.
I am so excited to be using this!
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
A bit early to review this I know but I am so excited by this!
I used to use BB cream when my skin was still good. Then I got all caught into the mineral foundation hype, so I forgot all about it.
So my skin is looking worse for wear nowadays, I am very over foundation and I wanted something less heavy. So I remembered how great my skin was when using BB cream.
So I ordered this one on Ebay for USD$19.40. It is beautifully packaged in a pump cylinder shaped bottle.
The cream itself looks quite thick when you pump it out, but glides on smoothly on the skin. 1-2 pumps should be enough for the whole face.
My skin looks amazing with this on. Foundations have been sucking with me lately so this is such a pleasant surprise. I have very light dark circles, this covers it perfectly and my skin which does have a bit of acne looks so smooth. My mum said that my face looks great.
For red spots, this only softens the redness, but acne scars are covered. Winter is approaching, I bought this one because my face gets dry in winter.
I will update in a week or two to see if my skin improves and if it becomes "whiter".
Update: I am still loving it after 5 days. My skin has honestly stopped breaking out since I have started using this, I have no idea why! The only downside is that after a long (and hot) day, it disappears from my face, leaving it bare, so I'll drop a lippie, but otherwise, I won't stop using it.

Obituary: Jozsef Antall
Tuesday 14 December 1993
JOZSEF ANTALL, the quiet man of Hungarian politics, proved to be the most durable prime minister in post-Communist Central Europe. Stolid conservatism and total lack of charisma were the qualities he flaunted, and in a country that had grown weary of living in interesting times, they were a vote-winner. In May 1990 the slogan 'the calm force' propelled his party to a landslide victory in the first free elections since the Second World War. Antall, a historian by profession, was given the mandate to steer Hungary through the turbulent waters of history, from Communism to democracy.
He had the perfect training and family background for the job. His father, Jozsef senior, had distinguished himself during the war by saving thousands of Jews, Poles and captured Allied soldiers from the clutches of the Nazis. After the war, he served for two years in the coalition government, representing the winners of the first free elections, the conservative Smallholders' Party. As darkness descended on Hungary once again and a reign of terror sought to extinguish all forms of opposition, the Antalls were labelled as 'class enemies' and shared the tribulations of thousands of their free-thinking compatriots.
The 1956 uprising found Jozsef junior carrying on his father's torch. He threw himself into politics, helping to revive the Smallholders' Party and becoming chairman of the revolutionary committee of the secondary school where he worked as teacher. When the Soviet tanks rolled in he was arrested, sacked from his job and was again deprived of his citizen's rights. It was not until the liberal 1970s that he was given a passport to travel to the West. A marked man, he kept away from controversy by specialising in medical history, beavering away in a dingy office at the Semmelweis Museum of Medical History in Budapest. The politics lived on in the privacy of his home, a hub in the informal network that was slowly emerging in Hungary in anticipation of the Communists' demise. But caution kept Antall out of the limelight, and even when political groups began to mushroom in the fertile soil of Communist decay, Antall stayed in obscurity. Thus he kept away from the historic founding meeting in 1987 of the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF), and shunned the Smallholders' agonising rebirth. Realising that the Smallholders were nothing more than a motley collection of bickering old men, he decided that the MDF offered him the best chance of becoming Prime Minister. He joined the MDF and quickly took it over, steering it away from the course set by its founders - a group of Communist reformers and populist-nationalist intellectuals - and towards a conservative identity.
By 1989 Antall took centre stage, offering his historical insight in negotiations with leaders of the main political parties about the Communists' terms for surrender. The outcome was probably the best constitution in post-Communist Eastern Europe, held together by checks and balances that have, by and large, stood the test of time.
In the ensuing elections Antall's philosophy was vindicated: the MDF promising a peaceful transition without upheaval, witch-hunts and civil strife emerged as the largest party in parliament. He formed a centre-right coalition with the Smallholders and Christian Democrats, but it was a coalition in name only. All decisions were made by the MDF, and ultimately by Antall himself. He presided over the cabinet like an old-fashioned headmaster, listening attentively to arguments, luring ministers into a false belief that what they said mattered. In the end, the Antall view of the world always prevailed.
Even though he has been suffering from cancer for three years, he left his imprints on every policy document. In a notoriously unstable region, Hungary remained a haven of tranquility as three of her neighbours - Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia - disintegrated; the latter plunging into civil war. Despite growing pressure on the Hungarian minorities in Serbia, Slovakia and Romania, Antall resisted calls from his own party for a tougher line and continued to strive for dialogue. A treaty he negotiated with Ukraine renouncing Hungarian territorial claims points the way forward for Eastern Europe, but it was signed in the teeth of bitter opposition at home.
Not so successful was Antall's intervention in the economic domain. The MDF, more concerned with national and spiritual values, was never interested in the economy, and Antall shared this disdain. Inheriting a reasonably sound economy from the Communists, Antall's frequently reshuffled mediocre team have staggered from one crisis to another, blundering from an interventionist philosophy to an extreme form of sink-or-swim dogma which left devastation in its wake. As the Czech Republic and Poland emerge from the ruins of post-Communist transformation, Hungary is still grappling with bloated deficits, rising unemployment and double- digit inflation.
Antall's other negative legacy is a national broadcasting medium that is as tighly controlled now as it was under the Communists. Even before becoming prime minister, he showed unnatural sensitivity to what was being said about him, occasionally remonstrating with journalists who had failed to strike the correct note of flattery. Once in power, he moved trusted yes-men - often former Communist propagandists - into key positions at television and radio. Earlier this year even press reviews were banned from radio because most of the printed media are opposed to the government.
As Antall's health deteriorated he had to face an internal challenge from the nationalist wing of his party. Characteristically, the prime minister refused to rise to the bait, even when the rhetoric plunged into outright xenophobia and the nationalists began to plunder Hungary's rich anti-Semitic vein. Antall finally expelled the extremists earlier this year, by which time their antics had isolated them from most of their sympathisers.
Despite his success in preserving party unity in the teeth of the nationalist challenge, the MDF was doomed, even with Antall at its head. The pendulum, driven by dissatisfaction with the economy, is swinging back to the Left, and the MDF is facing oblivion. But Antall's democratic instincts would have been strong enough to rejoice at leading his country to the first orderly change of government through elections due next May which he was certain to lose.

Crawford thanks Rays fans with half-page newspaper ad
Jan 2, 2011, 10:39 AM EST
The act has become a little too predictable — and maybe even expected — but it's still pretty cool.
Carl Crawford took out a half-page ad in the Sunday edition of the St. Petersburg Times to thank Rays fans and the Tampa Bay community for their "support over the years."
Crawford also bought lunch for the 150-member staff at Tropicana Field a couple of weeks ago.
The do-everything outfielder inked a seven-year, $142 million contract with the Red Sox in early December and is looking to make nice before bolting out of town for a division rival.
He was thanked by the readers and writers at DRaysBay earlier this winter with a full-page ad in the Tampa Bay Times. All is well, at least until Crawford hits a bases-loaded triple to capture the American League East crown for the Red Sox somewhere around early October of this new year.

Product description
Death has diverse religious, social, legal, and medical aspects and is one of the main areas in which medicine and the law intersect. In this volume, we ask: What is the meaning of death in contemporary Britain, and in other cultures, and how has it changed over time? The essays in this collection tackle the diverse ways in which death is now experienced in modern society, in the process answering a wide variety of questions: How is death defined by law? Do the dead have legal rights? What is one allowed to have and not have done to one's body after death? What are the rights of next of kin in this respect? What compensation exists for death and how is death valued? What is happening to the law on euthanasia and suicide? Is there a human right to die? What is the principle of sanctity of life? What of criminal offences against the dead? How are the traditions of death still played out in religion? How have customs and traditions of the disposal of bodies and funerals changed? What happens to donated bodies in the biomedical setting where anatomical education is permitted? What processes are employed by police when investigating suspicious deaths? What of representations of death? These and other questions are the subject of this challenging and diverse set of essays.

Main occasions of previous week in Caspian countries' oil, gas industry
30 June 2014 [14:37] -
SOCAR completes drilling of exploratory well in Caspian Sea
Azerbaijani State Oil Company (SOCAR) has completed the appraisal drilling at the Agburun-Deniz offshore structure in the Caspian Sea's Azerbaijani sector.
The drilling work conducted in the south-west wing of the structure is aimed at exploring the stratigraphy, lithology, and the oil and gas bearing capacity of the area.
Following the works, the well's depth was brought to 860 meters. The well was drilled at a depth of 10 meters.
Currently, the well is being prepared for the perforation, development and testing. The Agburun-Deniz structure is located six kilometres south of the West Absheron field.
Iran carries out drilling 2nd well in Caspian Sea
The National Iranian Oil Company said that the second exploratory well is being drilled at the Sardar-e Jangal field 3,200 meters deep into the Caspian Sea, Iran's Mehr news agency reported.
In December 2011, Iran announced that it has discovered a huge gas field after years-long operations at the Amir Kabir rig in the Caspian Sea. Iran called this field Sardar-e Jangal.
Sardar-e Jangal field's first well reportedly was drilled 700 meters.
The field's natural gas reserves are approximately 50 trillion cubic feet, according to the Iranian media outlets.

Cloudmark, Inc., the global leader in messaging threat protection for communication service providers, today unveiled new research demonstrating the sophisticated and varied methods used by attackers to target mobile users. Cloudmark's comprehensive 2012 Messaging Threat Report revealed there were more than 350,000 unique unsolicited mobile spam variants in 2012, with the highest churn rate in December with more than 53,000 unique variants alone.
Spammers have favourite categories of attacks and frequently change individual messages in order to try and evade detection, resulting in a large number of variants. The report reveals that the most common unsolicited spam purported to be gift card offerings (44%), iPhone and iPad free giveaways (11%) and, in the UK in particular, Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) compensation (3%), which appeared after legislators determined that refunds were due to loan recipients who had been mis-sold the insurance.
The report findings are gathered through the Cloudmark-powered GSMA Spam Reporting Service, launched at Mobile World Congress in 2012. Mobile users can report their unsolicited spam by forwarding it to '7726' spelling out SPAM on their keyboard. Suspicious texts submitted to this service help Cloudmark tackle spam on behalf of participating carriers, who receive comprehensive reports with detailed information on spam content, senders and reporters, which enables them to block numbers and reduce further spam.
Neil Cook, CTO at Cloudmark, said: "Global smartphone adoption rapidly increased in 2012, with smartphone users passing the 1 billion mark and this has consequentially resulted in a hike in mobile messaging spam. As opposed to email, we often automatically trust that our SMS must come from someone we know or have done business with and attackers are well aware of this wide acceptance, using it to their advantage. Our research is highlighting the growth of sophisticated mobile threats as new mobile technologies develop and 2013 will see a rise in this sophistication."
The 2012 Messaging Threat Report identifies the top scam trends that will continue in 2013, such as the first Android botnet to be used to send SMS spam and the use of blended messaging threats to dupe mobile users.
SpamSoldier—Android Botnet Spreads SMS Spam
The SpamSoldier Android Botnet, initially seeded via SMS messages, purported to offer free versions of popular mobile games. Unknown to users, the downloaded game files contained both an initial loader program and a pirated copy of the game. When mobile users ran the game, the loader program sent SMS spam, deleted itself and installed the pirated game.
The sophistication of SpamSoldier was further highlighted as the loader simultaneously added a filter to block incoming SMS messages, preventing the user from being notified that they were spamming their contacts. During the period when the spam was first detected in November to when it was taken down in December, it is estimated that the spammer sent between five and ten million SMS messages, resulting in several thousand mobile devices being infected with the malware.
Blended Messaging Threats Bring New Level of Sophistication
Blended messaging threats also built momentum during 2012. These attacks used a combination of email, SMS messaging, instant messaging conversations and mining of social network relationships to send spam. With Affiliate Webcam Spam, for example, spammers start by sending out a sequence of SMS messages that to appear to be one half of an interactive conversation. Scammers then coax the mobile user into 'conversing', by sending predetermined questions or answers to the mobile user. From SMS, scammers then entice the user to converse on other platforms such as instant messenger to ultimately lead them to a webcam site which offers an affiliate program that pays $40 per sign up.
Free Offers Most Likely to Dupe Mobile Users
The 2012 Messaging Threat Report also identified the most popular method to dupe mobile users is by offering items for free. 'Receive a gift card' and having a 'trial of an iPad or iPhone' totaled more than 50 percent of the volume of SMS spam.
This type of 'giveaway' spam often requires the mobile user to offer privacy-compromising information via a survey and multiple click-throughs to various sites to qualify for the free 'gift.' Spammers are able to extract the user's personal information to continue to push their scam campaign. Mobile users can qualify to receive the gift but often the costs associated with receiving the product outweigh the gift.
To avoid mobile users becoming victims of unsolicited SMS spam, Cloudmark is offering five tips:
- Mobile users are strongly encouraged to forward spam texts to their carrier via "7726" spelling out "SPAM" on the keypad
- Do not text "STOP." This response only works with text alerts that the recipient has legitimately signed up to, and has the reverse effect for spam texts – merely confirming that the number is live and encouraging the spammer to continue to target that phone
- Only download mobile applications from reputable app stores and read the terms of service closely
- Never respond to an SMS requesting login details or other personal details – particularly if it claims to be a bank or financial institution
- Speak to your mobile operator to see if you can set up content filters on your mobile account so that premium rate texts cannot be charged and adult content displayed.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The end for struggling teams?
F1's last chance to slash costs for struggling teams has now passed. The FIA's World Motor Sport Council met in Munich on Thursday, less than a mere handful of days before the end-of-June deadline for rule changes to be made for 2015 without the near-impossible need for unanimity. With the budget cap proposal already dead in the water, many struggling teams had hoped meaningful cost reductions would be agreed before the final deadline. But the new and powerful 'Strategy Group' - dominated by the most competitive and richest teams - has ceded only a handful of minor measures. They were rubber-stamped by the FIA on Thursday.
