We had to drop Netfix. We called Centurylink about our data usage and they claimed that Netflix was causing us to go over our monthly data limit. We called Netflix and they told us that Netfix doesn't take up that much data. Our internet provider, Centurylink, said we are going over our max. data usage and they said it was probably because we were watching too much Netflix? Anyway,...

I have a blue ray player with a Netflix link in a rental house. I did not activate the netflix on the unit, but a tenant did. The tenant has moved out and I am in the house.

3750 Washington Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63108
Category: Art Galleries
Region: St. Louis - Grand Center
Great Rivers Biennial 2014, the sixth edition of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis' awards program, recognizes emerging and mid-career artists with a cash prize and a solo show. Brandon Anschultz, Carlie Trosclair and Cayce Zavaglia are the selected artists this year, and they've responded with art that challenges both the medium and the viewer. Anschultz digs into the physical properties of paint in Suddenly Last Summer, making three-dimensional geodes of layered paint that are installed in architectural settings inspired by the Tennessee Williams' play Suddenly Last Summer. Trosclair also works with layered architectural forms, but her interest is in peeling back those layers in the appropriately titled Exfoliation. She peels a wall, rolling back the wallpaper, scraping through paint underneath and breaking through plaster to reveal the studs; behind that is another papered wall. Zavaglia reimagines portraits from back to front for her Recto | Verso. Zavaglia made hand-embroidered portraits of people with a corresponding series of gouache and acrylic paintings. These paintings depict the backside of those embroidery pieces, each a mirror image of the face emerging from a thicket of knotted threads and loose ends. Great Rivers Biennial 2014 opens with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 9, at Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (3750 Washington Boulevard; 314-535-4660 or www.camstl.org). The work remains up through Sunday, August 10, and the gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free, thanks to the support of the Gateway Foundation.
Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Wednesdays, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; Thursdays, Fridays, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Starts: May 10. Continues through Aug. 10, 2014

NOPD: No explosives found in suspicious bag
Updated On: Apr 29 2013 09:07:49 AM CDT
Several roads were closed Monday morning as New Orleans police investigated a suspicious bag in the 800 block of Common Street.
The bag was found shortly before 7 a.m. A witness told WDSU he saw a homeless man walk away from the bag and a nearby pair of shoes earlier in the morning.
Around 7:30 a.m. an NOPD canine checked out the bag and investigators combed through its contents before clearing the scene.
The scene was cleared and roads were reopened around 8 a.m.
Investigators say no explosives were found.

Sidney Homer
Sidney Homer (9 December 1864? - 10 July 1953) was a classical composer, primarily of songs.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, in 1864 (sometimes listed as 1865), he was the youngest child of deaf parents. He attended Phillips Academy, Andover, in the Class of 1884, but did not attend college. He married contralto Louise Dilworth Beatty in 1895. Sidney Homer died in 1953 in Winter Park, Florida. Sidney Homer's influence included his mentoring and supporting his nephew composer Samuel Barber. Scholarship on Homer was a particular focus of musicologist Harry Colin Thorpe.[1]
Homer composed many of his songs with the voice of his famous wife in mind. Among his most famous songs are "A Banjo Song" (Weeden), "Requiem" (Stevenson), "Casey at the Bat" (Thayer), and "The House that Jack Built" ("Mother Goose.")
Sidney and Louise had six children, including twin daughters Anne and Kathryn, son Sidney jr. (a famous economist and author), and daughter Louise "jr."

Great product, better price
eric from Collinsville, IL– Verified Buyer
Very easy to install and made a huge difference in noise compared to other underlayments. This product very similar to the orange for muffler sold at Home depot, the only real difference that I noticed is that this is a couple inches narrower but that isn't a big deal because you still get the same sqft. The price is also half that of the stuff from Home Depot. Our floor is 7mm thick and has been down for a couple months And we have had no issues and there is no dreaded clicking when you walk
Good customer service!
Laureen from Union, KY– Verified Buyer
Product was as expected, ordered 900 sq. ft. and it came quickly and got the job done! There was an issue with UPS labels getting confused and when I realized item was being shipped to the wrong state, customer service handled it and it arrived on the original delivery date! Awesome customer service!
Great price on a great product
Sabrina from Dallas, TX– Verified Buyer
We own a number of rental condos and we like to install wood floors. the problem is we don't like getting complaints from the residents underneath! So we tried the floor muffler as the underlayment under floating engineered wood and laminate floors. the first time we did it, we conducted a sound test and were amazed at how well it worked. It doesn't eliminate sound completely, but it's a pretty significant drop. We bought it first in store - then on Amazon when we found a better price - but from now on it will be Wayfair - by far the lowest price for this product!
Great Underlayment Great Price
C H from California
I am really happy with this underlayment. It is just what I was expecting and about $30 cheaper than the local stores. It is just what everyone else says it is. I love that it is rated the highest in noise concealment. It does tear easily, but if you are being careful it's not a problem.
Excellent product
STEPHANIE from CARMICHAEL, CA– Verified Buyer
I just finished my home remodel with this under my laminate floor and my family thinks I spend a lot more money than I did on my new floors! This product is great!
Great subfloor!
Jamie from ,– Verified Buyer
This is the same product as at large warehouse stores that sell it in red. Thick, sticks down well, makes a big difference in sound. GREAT price here on Wayfair with quick shipping too! Thanks!
Good buy.
David from Coconut Creek, FL– Verified Buyer
Excellent product, easy to install and so far so good. Would buy again and would definitely recommend it.
Very pleased!
Dana from Orlando, FL– Verified Buyer
This underlayment was perfect for our floors! It went down smoothly and easily and really helped to soundproof the echo and click from our hardwoods!
Good value
Marvin from Chattanooga, TN– Verified Buyer
It was what I expected and installed easily - It was however somewhat delicate and ripped or got nicked easily

this week? Do you have a money saving tip?
|Fri, 04-04-2003 - 6:14am
But I do have a couple of frugal tips about groceries:
1. Limit the number of trips you make to the store, this saves you gas and wear & tear on your vehicle, saves you time (one big trip is actually much quicker than 4 smaller trips to accomplish), and saves you money (less time spent in the store means less opportunity to impulse buy).
2. Be your own Butcher! Buy larger cuts of meats or bulk sized packages which are generally less cost per pound and cut or divide them up into smaller family friendly sized portions at home, then freeze and use when desired. Not only will your meat be cut to your specifications but you can package it so that you don't end up with any undesired leftovers or on the other hand you will have those "planned overs" to use as the basis of a whole new meal.

A Marion County judge will hear arguments next month on Democrats' challenge to Charlie White's ability to remain Indiana's secretary of state.
The Democrats are contesting the Indiana Recount Commission's June ruling that White can stay in office, despite allegations that he was illegally registered to vote at his ex-wife's address when he declared his candidacy.
Marion Circuit Judge Louis Rosenberg will hold oral arguments on the Democrats' petition for judicial review Nov. 23.
The three-member Recount Commission unanimously decided in June that White was eligible to hold office because his intent was to use his ex-wife's home as his permanent address.
Attorney Karen Celestino-Horseman, who's representing the Democrats, said in an email that the Recount Commission put too much weight on White's testimony and should've paid more attention to documents listing his address as a condo he now shares with his new wife.
Even if Rosenberg upholds the commission's ruling, White still could lose his job if he's convicted of any of the seven felony charges filed against him in Hamilton County. He has asked a judge to drop those charges, which include theft and voter fraud. His trial is scheduled for Jan. 30.

A federal judge has rejected an environmental group's attempt to require the government to lower its catch limits on sardines, mackerel and other forage fish off the California coast.
The organization, Oceana, claimed that the plan approved by the National Marine Fisheries Service in 2010 was based on flawed data and allowed fishing at levels that would deplete offshore populations of several species. Those fish are part of the food chain for other fish, seabirds and whales.
But U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco said Friday that the federal agency had simply reaffirmed, or in some cases tightened, the harvesting limits it had set for the same forage species in 2000.
Chen ordered the fisheries service to reconsider its catch levels for one species, the northern anchovy, saying the agency had reopened that subject in 2010 but failed to determine the limits needed to protect the fish. That decision is required, he said, by a 1976 conservation law designed to prevent overfishing.
But Chen said it was too late to challenge the rules the agency had established in 2000 - and reaffirmed in 2010 - for the Pacific sardine, the Pacific mackerel, the jack mackerel and the market squid. Oceana also challenged the fisheries service's conclusion that its 2010 plan would cause no ecological harm and that a full environmental study was therefore not required. But the judge said the 2010 plan "by its very terms has no negative impact."
The California Wetfish Producers Association said the ruling was important for fisheries based in Monterey Bay and several Southern California ports. Those fisheries are closely monitored by the federal and state governments and have one of the lowest harvest rates in the world, the association said.

The Decade's 10 Best-Paid CEOs List
The Decade's 10 Best-Paid CEOs – Discussing salary CEOs and how much they get paid does draw debate on whether or not they've been the best person for the job during the past decade. For example, Steve Jobs took nothing, but outperformed every top executive in 10 years. Let's review the list of company top wigs and explain what they have accomplished.
Lawrence Ellison of Oracle. Total realized compensation (1999-2009) $1.84 billion. According to a Wall Street Journal analysis, Ellison, the 65-year-old founder and CEO of the software giant, was the single best-paid public company executive during the last decade.
Barry Diller, IAC/InterActive, Expedia.com. Total realized compensation (2000-2009) $1.14 billion. Diller, who remains chairman of Expedia, the online travel site spun off from IAC in 2005, told the Journal: "I did exactly as well as shareholders during the exact same counting period."
Ray Irani, Occidental Petroleum. Total realized compensation (2000-2009) $857 million. Shareholders of Occidental have recently complained that Irani is paid three times as much as other oil executives, and that the board has set the pay too high while setting performance targets too low.
Steve Jobs, Apple. Total realized compensation (1999-2009) $749 million. Despite his longstanding tradition of taking $1 base salary, the man with the penchant for mock turtlenecks has done well enough to wear what he wants, mainly by way of restricted stock which was granted in 2003 and vested in 2006. Prior to his death in 2011, he had already outperformed everyone on this list.
Richard Fairbank, Capital One Financial. Total realized compensation (2000-2009) $569 million. Though his total compensation was down 35 percent in 2009 (to a mere $11 million) Fairbank stands out as the highest paid financial services CEO of the prior decade, which is saying a lot considering what was earned on Wall Street during that period.
Eugene Isenberg, Nabors Industries. Total realized compensation (2000-2009) $518 million. Two years ago Isenberg raised eyebrows when he earned $79 million even as the oil and gas company he led saw its share value drop 51 percent. Lucky for him, at that time Isenberg had his bonus pegged to the company's cash flow — not share performance.
Terry Semel, Yahoo. Total realized compensation (2000-2007) $490 million. Shareholder complaints over Semel's compensation followed him up until his resignation from the company in 2007. His stock options followed him out the door — options that he has exercised over the past few years.
Henry Silverman, Cendant. Total realized compensation (2000-2006) $481 million. The longtime head of Cendant, a travel and real estate services giant, once so infuriated investors with his outsized option grants that in the early part of the decade the company ended up settling a shareholder lawsuit specifically protesting the size of his pay package. A $100 investment in Cendant shares in 2000 would have been worth $51 in 2006.
William McGuire, UnitedHealth Group. Total realized compensation (2000-2006) $469 million. McGuire might have earned a higher spot on this list had it not been for the fact in 2007 he settled a case with regulators over stock option backdating, forfeiting $418 million in options and retirement benefits.

CD: The Beach Boys – That's Why God Made the Radio | New music reviews, news & interviews
CD: The Beach Boys – That's Why God Made the Radio
Despite its missteps, this joyless reunion yields a few gems
"We're back together, easy money". For anyone feeling a wee bit cynical about The Beach Boys' reunion, that lyric – from "Spring Vacation" – is likely to push them towards full-blown contempt. Although That's Why God Made the Radio is defined by missteps, it's worth persevering to the end.
The album reanimates The Beach Boys' brand to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Given that they formed and released their first single in 1961, it must be the anniversary of the first chart hit, 1962's "Surfin' Safari". Reunited are three originals - Al Jardine, Mike Love and Brian Wilson - and Bruce Johnson and David Marks. All sing but only Marks plays – guitar, on about half the album. Otherwise, the musicians are drawn from Wilson's live band or are vintage sessioneers (Skunk Baxter's guitar solo on "Spring Vacation" is spectacularly naff). All but one song is co-written by Wilson with keyboard player Joe Thomas, also credited with "recording" the album. Wilson is credited as producer, Love as executive producer.
The dynamics at play are writ even larger by the single non-Wilson song, the trite "Daybreak Over the Ocean". Written by Love, it was recorded at his studio with family members and associates who don't appear elsewhere on the album. Jardine, Johnston and Wilson's vocals were overdubbed later.
Glutinous nostalgia, both musically and lyrically veering towards parody, is what this is about. "God Made the Radio" to capture "memories from afar". "Do you wanna turn back the pages?" asks "Isn't it Time". Wilson probably doesn't. He was all-but destroyed by his own past.
The album opens with the beautiful "Think About the Days" and closes with a trio of gems – one co-written by Jon Bon Jovi – that allow Wilson to breath, the yearning "From There to Back Again" especially so. That's Why God Made the Radio encapsulates all that's good and all that's bad about The Beach Boys. Could it have been any other way?

Likely you weren't in London in December 1892. But if you had been, you'd have been clamoring to get your hands on the theater season's hottest ticket. Charley's Aunt, the fresh new farce by Brandon Thomas, was a bona fide smash hit that would sashay its way to a record-breaking four-year run in London's West End. Tickets for Charley's Aunt were tough to come by that December. You'd have had an easier time slipping into Widower's Houses, the first play ever to be staged by a young theater critic named George Bernard Shaw. (Based on the response to this fledgling effort, his future as a playwright didn't look so bright.)
But time, as they say, will tell. Although Thomas wrote numerous scripts and songs, today he is remembered (if at all) as a one-play wonder. By contrast, the prolific Shaw went on to pen scores of influential comedies and dramas, including (sixteen years later, in 1908) Getting Married. Charley's Aunt is — and Getting Married was — on view this summer at Act Inc. Based solely on these two stagings, a viewer might conclude that the now-forgotten Thomas was a superior playwright to the Nobel Prize-winning Shaw. At age 121, Charley's Aunt remains deft, clever, engaging. Getting Married is painfully decrepit.
There's no need to dwell on Getting Married, because it closed last weekend. For the record, suffice to say that enduring this incoherent jumble was about as much fun as having your car break down in the salt flats of Death Valley. A theatergoer felt desolate and lost, especially in the aimless and seemingly endless Act Two. Certainly Charley's Aunt benefits by comparison to that clock-stopping experience.

But Charley's Aunt is not good solely because its sister production was poor. The play still works. No surprise that it remains the great-granddaddy of cross-dressing farces: The brisk plot gallops along. As directed here by Emily Robinson, the production keeps furniture to a minimum so that the actors can move spryly across the stage. Indeed, the entire evening might be described as minimalist. So too is Jack Dryden's performance in the pivotal role of Lord Fancourt Babberley, a University of Oxford undergrad who's cajoled into impersonating Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, a rich widow from Brazil ("where the nuts are"). Dryden doesn't bother with a phony accent or an affected voice. He lets his dress and wig do the work. The underlying premise here is that if you're not willing to buy into the fundamental notion that clothes make the man, adornment won't help. Although Dryden does not take comic advantage of his hand fan, from the moment he enters, he has enough confidence in what he's doing to take his time. His very demeanor informs us that he will control the play, not vice versa.
Dryden receives sturdy support from Richard Lewis. As a former military officer who is persuaded by his son Jack (Reginald Pierre) to woo Donna Lucia, Lewis comes across as a hybrid between Jerry Stiller and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (This is probably the first time those two ever appeared together in the same sentence.) Donna Lucia (Jane Sullivan) also is courted by the money-grubbing Stephen Spettigue, portrayed here by Jesse Russell. Russell's physical similarity to Charles Durning provides a direct link to Sidney Pollack's cross-dressing 1982 comedy Tootsie, in which Durning proposed marriage to a gussied-up Dustin Hoffman. That very linkage reminds us of the long and apparently honorable tradition of hot-blooded men in drag.
Perhaps there's no point in complaining about the air-conditioning system that droned on throughout both productions, making dialogue difficult to hear, because this is Act Inc.'s final season in Fontbonne University's black-box theater. Next summer it is relocating to Lindenwood University in St. Charles, which will distance (if not sever) the company from its core audience. At least Act Inc. is departing Clayton with a smile.

John McAfee has arrived in Miami after Guatemala deported the computer software pioneer who is wanted for questioning in Belize over the murder of a fellow American, according to fellow passengers on the American Airlines flight.
McAfee, 67, was escorted from the plane by airport security officers, passengers said. He had been held for a week in Guatemala, where he surfaced after evading police in Belize for nearly a month following the killing of American Gregory Faull, his neighbor on the Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye.
Police in Belize want to quiz McAfee as a "person of interest" in Faull's death, although the technology guru's lawyers blocked an attempt by Guatemala to send him back there.
Authorities in Belize say he is not a prime suspect in the investigation. McAfee has denied any role in Faull's killing.
A Reuters witness saw McAfee's plane bound for Miami leaving Guatemala City just before 3.40pm (10.40am NZT). The flight arrived in Miami soon after 7pm.
The goateed McAfee has led the world's media on a game of online hide-and-seek in Belize and Guatemala since he fled after Faull's death, peppering the Internet with pithy quotes and colourful revelations about his unpredictable life.
"I'm happy to be going home," McAfee, dressed in a black suit, told reporters shortly before his departure from Guatemala City airport on Wednesday afternoon. "I've been running through jungles and rivers and oceans and I think I need to rest for a while. And I've been in jail for seven days."
Guatemala's immigration authorities had been holding McAfee since he was arrested last Wednesday for illegally entering the country with his 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend.
The eccentric tech pioneer, who made his fortune from the anti-virus software bearing his name, has been chronicling life on the run in a blog.
He said he had no immediate plans after reaching Florida.
"I'm just going to hang in Miami for a while. I like Miami," he told Reuters by telephone just before his plane left. "There is a great sushi place there and I really like sushi."
Residents of the Belizean island of Ambergris Caye, where McAfee has lived for about four years, said McAfee and Faull, 52, had quarrelled at times, including over McAfee's unruly dogs.
McAfee says Belize authorities will kill him if he turns himself in for questioning. He has said he was being persecuted by Belize's ruling party for refusing to pay some US$2 million in bribes.
Belize's prime minister has rejected the allegations, calling McAfee paranoid and "bonkers."
Belize police spokesman Raphael Martinez said the country still wanted to question McAfee about the Faull case.
"He will be just under the goodwill of the United States of America. He is still a person of interest, but a US national has been killed and he has been somewhat implicated in that murder. People want him to answer some questions," he said.
Martinez noted that Belize's extradition treaty with the United States extended only to suspected criminals, a designation that did not currently apply to McAfee.
"Right now, we don't have enough information to change his status from person of interest to suspect," he said.
Residents and neighbors on Ambergris Caye said McAfee was unusual and at times unstable. He was seen to travel with armed bodyguards, sporting a pistol tucked into his belt.
The predicament of McAfee, a former Lockheed systems consultant, is a far cry from his heyday in the late 1980s, when he started McAfee Associates. McAfee has no relationship now with the company, which was sold to Intel.
McAfee was previously charged in Belize with possession of illegal firearms, and police had raided his property on suspicions that he was running a lab to produce illegal synthetic narcotics. He said he had not taken drugs since 1983.
"I took drugs constantly, 24 hours of the day. I took them for years and years. I was the worst drug abuser on the planet," he told Reuters before his arrest in Guatemala. "Then I finally went to Alcoholics Anonymous, and that was the end of it."

Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully today announced New Zealand has formally lodged an intervention before the International Court of Justice in the case brought by Australia against Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean.Intervention is a procedure that enables a non-party to the case to put its legal views before the court.Australia brought an action before the International Court of Justice in 2010 questioning the validity of Japan's so called "scientific" whaling programme in the Southern Ocean. In December 2010, the New Zealand Government decided in principle to intervene in the case."The government has now delivered on its stated intention," Mr McCully says."As a member of the International Whaling Commission, New Zealand has an interest in ensuring that the IWC works effectively and that the Whaling Convention is properly interpreted and applied."This is why the government decided to intervene. I do not intend to comment any further on our intervention at this stage, as the matter is now before the court."Mr McCully says he is disappointed New Zealand had to pursue its interests in the ICJ because diplomatic initiatives failed to bring about a cessation of Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean."New Zealand has worked hard with Japan for over three years to try and find a permanent solution to whaling in the Southern Ocean. The government will continue to use all avenues possible to try to bring a halt to Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean."

The Condom Challenge is a dare game that involves inserting a condom into one's nostril and snorting it back through the throat to be coughed out of the mouth. The game gained attention in April 2013 following the viral takeoff of a YouTube video uploaded by teenager Amber-Lynn Strong.
On May 3rd, 2006, Break user tommydyhr uploaded a video titled "Condom Sucking From Nose to Mouth," in which a young man snorts a condom through his nose and extracts it out of his mouth (shown below, left). In the next seven years, the video received upwards of 73,500 views and 130 comments. In the following years, several other condom snorting videos were subsequently uploaded to YouTube, but the phrase "condom challenge" was not coined until May 23rd, 2012, when YouTuber Isaac Mathers uploaded a video performing the same stunt titled "Condom Challenge" (shown below, right). Within one year, the video received over 9,300 views and 25 comments.
On April 3rd, 2013, the WorldStarTube YouTube channel uploaded a video featuring two girls snorting condoms (shown below, left), which received over 180,000 views and 480 comments in the first two weeks. On April 9th, YouTuber P0tatoPlanet uploaded a video of herself snorting a condom through her nasal passage (shown below, right), garnering more than 150,000 views and 1,180 comments in the following eight days.
That same month, teenager Amber-Lynn Strong uploaded a video of herself performing the challenge (shown below). On April 13th, Redditor redpanda252 submitted the video to the /r/videos[3] subreddit, where it received over 2,800 up votes and 630 comments in the first 72 hours. On April 15th, Amber-Lynn Strong's video was highlighted on The Huffington Post,[1] Gawker[2] and BuzzFeed.[6] After gaining upwards of 2.2 million views, the video was subsequently removed from YouTube for violating the site's terms of service.
On the following day, the Internet humor blog Break[5] posted an article about the YouTube trend, citing YouTuber Isaac Mathers' video as the first known use of the term "condom challenge." Also on April 16th, notable condom challenge videos were highlighted on the Internet news blog UpRoxx.[7]

Barclays chairman steps down but heat still on CEO
LONDON The chairman of Barclays bank announced his resignation Monday, accepting responsibility for a rate-fixing scandal and leaving the chief executive to face growing demands that he step down, too.
Last week, U.S. and British hit Barclays with fines totaling $453 million for submitting false data on interbank borrowing rates between 2005 and 2009.
Rather than satisfy calls for accountability at Barclays, the resignation of Chairman Marcus Agius saw politicians step up their calls for CEO Bob Diamond to go as well.
"Everybody is asking when are the other senior people at the top of Barclays going to take responsibility for the things that happened on their watch," Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said.
Ed Miliband, leader of the opposition Labour Party, also called for Diamond to step down.
Barclays shares were 3.8 percent higher in midday trading at 169 pence, regaining some of the ground lost after the fines were announced on Wednesday.
Barclays is one of a number of banks which regularly submit estimates of what it will cost them to borrow from other banks. These estimates feed into calculation of the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) which is used to determine payments from a range of derivatives contracts.
The London rate, and the related European interbank offered rate, are the benchmarks for over $500 trillion in global contracts, including loans and mortgages.
Barclays admitted that it had submitted lower than actual figures on its interbank borrowing during the credit crisis in 2007 and 2008. Several other global banks are being investigated in several countries for similar actions.
Agius' position was particularly sensitive as he was also chairman of the British Bankers' Association, the trade body that collects the banks' rate submissions to calculate the LIBOR.
"As chairman, I am the ultimate guardian of the bank's reputation," said Agius, who has led Barclays' board since 2007. "Accordingly, the buck stops with me and I must acknowledge responsibility by standing aside."
In a further attempt to soothe critics, Agius said Michael Rake, a senior independent director of the bank, has been appointed to lead an in-house review of all past practices and to publish a report of its findings and develop a new, mandatory code of conduct for everyone at Barclays.
Agius will remain as chairman until a successor is appointed, the bank said.
He was paid 751,000 pounds (1.18 million) by Barclays in 2011, but his final payoff was not immediately announced.
Rather than take the heat off Diamond, Agius' departure may leave the CEO more exposed.
Diamond is likely to face a grilling Wednesday when he appears before a group of lawmakers. His critics say he is culpable because he set the aggressive style at Barclays Capital, the investment banking operation he previously led.
He has said the actions by Barclays and its traders were wrong, but offered no suggestion he might leave his post.
"Even taking account of the abnormal market conditions at the height of the financial crisis, and that the motivation was to protect the bank, I accept that the decision to lower submissions was wrong," Diamond said last week in a letter to Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the House of Commons Treasury Committee.

Mangelina Jolie Fooled Brad and Maddox
If I didn't know this was Angelina Jolie in spy thriller "Salt," my next guess would've been: "Jonathan Rhys-Myers to give rehab another shot." The effect was so convincing that when her family visited her on set in New York, partner Brad Pitt refused to kiss her and their nine-year-old adopted son Maddox did not even recognize her.

Ferdinand A. Brader
|Ferdinand A. Brader
Ferdinand A. Brader, self-portrait
|December 7, 1833
|Known for
|Folk Art
Ferdinand Arnold Brader (December 7, 1833 – December 20, 1901) is known for his large detailed pencil drawings of farms and other dwellings in rural Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Life in Switzerland[edit]
Ferdinand Brader was born in Kaltbrunn, St. Gallen, Switzerland, the son of Johann Baptist Brader and Anna Maria Steiner. On August 28, 1860 he married Maria Katherina Karolina Glaus of Benken, St. Gallen and their son Carl Ferdinand was born December 20, 1864. Ferdinand Arnold Brader emigrated to Pennsylvania in the United States sometime in the early 1870s.
Life in Pennsylvania and Ohio[edit]
His first pencil drawings of farms and homes were made in Pennsylvania and dated 1879. Brader created about 300 pictures in Pennsylvania in the counties of Berks, Lancaster, Montgomery and Lebanon and as far west as the counties of Somerset, Beaver and Allegheny. Two Somerset County drawings recently located provide further details not only on farm life in the area at the time, but also the timeline of Brader's travels westward and eventually into Ohio.[1]
The majority of Brader's drawings were done in Ohio. His first Ohio drawings appeared in Tuscarawas and Columbiana Counties in 1884. From drawings that survive it is known that Brader's Ohio pictures were done in 9 different adjoining counties: Portage, Medina, Wayne, Stark, Summit, Carroll, Columbiana, Mahoning and Tuscarawas continuing through 1895. Most of his Ohio images seem to have been done in the counties of Portage and Stark. Both of these counties had county infirmaries or "Poor Houses" where Brader is known to have stayed.
The registry book of the Portage County Infirmary shows that he was there from December 12, 1891 through April 19, 1892 and cite his birth in Switzerland as being in 1833. Recently discovered record books from Stark County indicate that Brader passed the winters of 1892 through 1895 at the Stark County Infirmary, which was later called the County Home.
Later Years[edit]
Brader's life was abruptly changed by news from Switzerland. In November 1895 he was living at the Stark County Infirmary (Canton, Ohio) when he was notified of the death of his brother, Alois, in 1888. It took authorities almost eight years to find Brader and tell him of the inheritance left to him by his brother who had remained in Kaltbrunn. Upon receiving the news, Ferdinand Brader soon left the County Infirmary and made plans to return to his homeland. According to newspaper records, Brader returned to Switzerland in early February 1896.[2]
The Drawings of Ferdinand Brader[edit]
While best known for his hundreds of carefully rendered farmstead pictures, he is also known to have recorded scenes of both the Portage and Stark County Infirmaries, at least one church, railroad stations, a brewery and several rural industries, such as grist mills, potteries, mines and quarries.[3]
Brader typically inscribed his works with the name of the property owner or resident, the date, and, in many cases, its number in the chronology of his completed works. The numbers on his pictures can usually be found with his signature in the lower right or lower left hand corner of his drawings. The highest number recorded among his surviving Ohio drawings suggest he completed as many as 980 works.[4] Drawing number 980 "Homestead of Mr. and Mrs. John Kleiver, Plain Tp. Stark Co. Ohio 1895" is in the collection of The William McKinley Library & Museum in Canton, Ohio. At least 211 drawings have been cataloged, 56 from Pennsylvania and 155 from Ohio. The Canton Museum of Art's current count listed by township can be seen here.
Most of his drawings are quite large, some measuring as large as 39" by 53". The vast majority of these were done using only graphite pencil. However, by 1892 Brader had started to use colored pencils as well.
There have been two exhibitions of Brader's works. In October 1986, an exhibition was held in Reading, Pennsylvania at the Historical Society of Berks County entitled, "Brader in Berks, 1880-1883" displaying 16 of Brader's drawings and in which an exhibition catalog was provided.
In 1991 the Massillon Museum, in Massillon, Ohio, collaborated with Brader collector and researcher, Darwin D. Bearley of Akron, to organize an exhibition of Ohio drawings, entitled "F.A. Brader, The Ohio Drawings". It ran from January 20, 1991 through March 3, 1991 but no catalog was produced.
The Canton Museum of Art has announced plans to host an exhibition and create a publication dedicated to the historic drawings by Brader. Progress is well underway for the scheduled opening on December 4, 2014, in conjunction with the publication of the book.
The William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum will collaborate by simultaneously exhibiting more drawings in its Keller Gallery. Additional drawings will be shown at the Little Art Gallery in North Canton, Ohio.
The purpose of the research for the forthcoming exhibit and publication is to trace and document the artistic path of Ferdinand Brader as he traveled through the countryside, adding significant depth to our understanding of American family heritage. The exhibit will be a retrospective of Brader's work in America and will include examples from Pennsylvania and Ohio.
In Pennsylvania, Brader's drawings can be found at the Landis Valley Museum Lancaster, PA. (2); the Historical Society of Berks County Reading, PA.(7); The Reading Public Museum, Reading,PA.(1); Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA (1); the Library Company of Philadelphia, Philadelphia,PA(1).
In Ohio, Brader's drawings can be found in the collections of the Canton Museum of Art Canton, Ohio, the William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum Canton, Ohio(8); the Massillon Museum, Massillon, Ohio (2); the Portage County Historical Society, Ravenna, Ohio(1); the Carroll Co. Historical Society (Algonquin Mill,) Carrollton, Ohio(1); the Osnaburg Historical Society, East Canton, Ohio (1.)
Elsewhere, the drawings are in collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL (1) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY(1). The drawing at the Met can be viewed here through the museum's website.
There are also numerous examples in private collections around the country. One prominent collection can be seen here: http://ferdinandabrader.blogspot.com/

The Greatness of the Omniscient Longchen Rabjam
The Greatness of the Omniscient Longchen Rabjam
Due to the kindness of Guru Padmasambhava, there have been many great holders of the teachings here in Tibet, the Land of Snows. There have appeared highly accomplished saints who were no different from the vidyadharas of India, the Land of the Aryas. Yet although there have been countless eminent scholars, none of them might be compared with the Six Ornaments and Two Supreme Ones of India in terms of wisdom and enlightened activity.
In later times there was the Omniscient One from Samyé, Longchenpa, who was the equal of the Jowo Kadampa geshes in terms of his ethical discipline and practice of training the mind (lojong), and who was like Jetsün Milarepa in how he first served his teacher and then spent his life meditating in solitude on the guru's instructions. On account of his total mastery of study and contemplation, his fearless eloquence and his achievements in explanation, debate and composition we might compare him to the likes of Sakya Pandita, the Lord of Dharma, or the precious Je Tsongkhapa. How he reached the final accomplishment and arrived at the exhaustion of reality within the primordial state was just like the great Chetsün Senge Wangchuk, Melong Dorje and others. In terms of his ability to manipulate phenomenal existence and call upon the assistance of the oath-bound guardians he was comparable to the great awareness-holders of Nub. In keeping to the tenets of the pinnacle of all yanas and surpassing all the views and philosophies fabricated by the ordinary mind, he was like the great Rongzom. If we consider the vast array of instructions he passed on in an aural lineage and the way he cared for the disciples who maintained his tradition, we might compare him to Sachen Kunga Nyingpo or Marpa Lotsawa. His mastery over the conventional sciences and the way in which Sarasvati, the goddess of learning, lent power to his speech,[1] made him the equal of the lotsawas of the past. The way great clouds of blessings are amassed within his written instructions makes them identical to the profound dharma treasures of the great tertöns. His perfect training in bodhichitta and his ability to benefit all those with whom he came into contact was reminiscent of Dromtönpa or the peerless Dakpo Lharje [Gampopa].
Other Tibetan scholars took as their basis the excellent Indian treatises but then added explanations based on their own clever ideas, with the result that on occasion their statements no longer accord with scripture or valid reasoning. In particular, the works of Nagarjuna and his successors have been fervently debated among Tibetans, with the assertions of earlier Tibetan scholars subjected to a great deal of presumptuous refutation and affirmation by later scholars. Yet the explanations of the Omniscient One remain true to the tradition of the Six Ornaments and Two Supreme Ones in their beginning, middle and end.
Other Tibetan siddhas possessed only a few instructions from the aural lineage and then taught the holders of their tradition to meditate on selected instructions. Gyalwa Longchenpa, by contrast, was the master of countless teachings from profound transmissions. He possessed all manner of instructions, which had been passed down from vidyadharas and accomplished siddhas, from dakas and dakinis, or received directly from Guru Padmasambhava and so on. This meant he could lead the holders of his tradition to attainment by encouraging them to practise diligently those instructions for which they felt the greatest affinity.
Other learned and accomplished masters may have given complete teachings on particular instructions, but they did not have practices for all the teachings in their entirety. The Omniscient Guru explained all the teachings completely. He revealed the instructions for gaining supreme and common accomplishments in general, from the kriya and charya tantras onwards, and all the tantras and pith instructions of Dzogpachenpo in particular, and so he is the true charioteer of the essence of clear light teachings.
In addition, his wisdom body has appeared in visions before those with great good fortune, granting them realization and so on.[2]
In short, I believe Gyalwa Longchenpa to be the unique embodiment of the enlightened qualities of all the learned and accomplished masters of the Land of Snows. If you consider this honestly, you will find this to be just how it is, neither an exaggeration nor an understatement.
Gaining experience and realization through meditation—
That is common to all forms of pith instruction.
But gaining experience and realization through non-meditation—
How could anyone fail to seize upon something so amazing?
Ha! Ha!

It sounds odd and uncommon , even most weird when people uses the term "LA" in English.
Dzongkha is a beautiful language with great history as old as the foundation of Bhutan. It is one of the most advanced language existed, having commonalities in Buddhism. Apart from religious institute and monastic bodies, surprisingly it has attracted least people to explore and endeavor for further rigorous research. Most young educated Bhutanese ward off the Dzongkha as tough and old-fashioned. It has lead to people having little knowledge in Dzongkha and half in English. It can be observed from our daily conversation.

The term "LA" is suffix that we add as a token of respect in our national language, the Dzongkha. This trend have crept into our daily conversation and official correspondence which are made in English. Most educated Bhutanese suffice with the usage as we do in Dzongkha. I would like to term such DZONG-LISH.
Such usage might hamper and deter its value. There wouldn't be any identity of differentiating between two languages. As a Bhutanese one should feel ashamed of ourselves if we uses English term while conversing in Dzongkha.

Airline 'fat tax': Should heavy passengers pay more?
Airline 'fat tax': Should heavy passengers pay more?
From excess luggage to excess flesh -- an economist says flight fares should be based on body weight.
An economics scholar in Norway has recommended that air ticket costs be calculated according to a passenger's weight.
Dr. Bharat P. Bhatta, associate professor of economics at Sogn og Fjordane University College, Norway, is proposing three models that he says, "may provide significant benefits to airlines, passengers and society at large."
Dr. Bharat P. Bhatta, associate professor of economics at Sogn og Fjordane University College, Norway, is proposing three models that he says, "may provide significant benefits to airlines, passengers and society at large."
In his paper, published in the Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management, Dr. Bhatta noted "a reduction of 1 kilo weight of a plane will result in fuel savings worth US$3,000 a year and a reduction of CO2 emissions by the same token."
He cited a move by Air Canada, which removed life vests from its planes to make each flight 25 kilos lighter, and other initiatives by low-cost carriers such as charging for excess luggage and making oversized passengers book two seats.
"Charging according to weight and space is a universally accepted principle, not only in transportation, but also in other services," Bhatta says. "As weight and space are far more important in aviation than other modes of transport, airlines should take this into account when pricing their tickets."
His three "pay as you weigh" models are:
Total weight: A passenger's luggage and body weight is calculated, with the fare comprising a per kilo cost. In this scenario a passenger weighing 100 kilos with 20 kilos of luggage (120 kilos total) would pay twice that of a passenger of 50 kilos with 10 kilos of luggage (60 kilos total).
Base fare +/- extra: A base fare is set, with a per-kilo discount applying for "underweight" passengers and a per-kilo surcharge applying to "overweight" passengers.
High/Average/Low: A base fare is set, with a predetermined discount applying for those below a certain weight threshold and a predetermined surcharge applying for those above a certain weight threshold.
Bhatta prefers the third of these options. He goes on to say that weight could be ascertained through passenger self-declaration, with one in five passengers randomly selected and weighed to dissuade cheats (with penalties for cheaters) or by weighing all passengers at check in.
This latter option however would "incur huge transaction costs" and "would require a passenger to arrive a couple of hours early to have time to get through weigh-in, security and passport control."
