Re:Well, I never (47 comments)
Yes, they could have used their influence to stop pretty much everything the Tories have done. And if they had the coalition would have fallen apart, and no one would have taken them seriously as a party they could have done business with in the future. They made some bad decisions, especially in the beginning but as the minority partner in the coalition I think they have actually done pretty well. Of course I'd rather have seen them let the Tories form a minority government then screw them at every turn. But they really wanted to get their electoral reform ideas through.
Stupid (106 comments)
This sounds like a completely idiotic idea purely to separate the gullible and those with poor impulse control from their money. I predict it will be a massive success.
More reasonable figure (345 comments)
Taking someone's more reasonable suggestion of Indian outsourcing, and training people to do the job rather than using judges:
It was difficult to find an average Indian call-center salary, so lets use Rs 300k. This was at the upper end but using the high figure makes some allowance for training and other costs.
This is $5610.
Of course you may want differing levels of staff, and can use some software.
I would say using a system of software flagging, geared to hit more false positives than risk missing something followed by a review by a human, with a system for them to refer it to someone more experienced/qualified if its not straightforward could reasonably cut the hours requirement in half. So, 199584/2=99792.
Multiplying this by the much more reasonable salary gives 99792 * $5610 = $559,833,120.
Still a hell of a lot of cash, but probably not unaffordable to Google.
Re:But does it extend battery? (290 comments)
Or more likely leaving your phone charging on the dashboard of your car leads to someone smashing the window and stealing it. I tend to try and keep my phone out of sight to deter casual theft, I don't really see how a solar powered phone would be compatible with this.
Re:Not the same... (464 comments)
Of course the less popular movies aren't necessarily shitty. There are smaller independent movies that are great, but will never get the same numbers of viewers as the big name blockbusters.
According to IMDB:
Mission impossible 4 gets 7.8/10
Young Adult gets 7.3/10.
So arguably MI4 is the better movie, but on those ratings Toung Adult hardly "Sucks"
So what's the problem? (344 comments)
Leaving aside that I have doubts that looking at someone's facebook page will tell you very much about their credit worthiness. I think banks and other companies wishing to give you loans/finance should be able to use any information they can obtain to look at whether you are a good credit risk. If your myspace page can in a documented proven way tell them whether or not you are a good loan risk then they should be able to use it, I'm halfway tempted to say that they should be required to use it. Remember this whole financial crisis we seem to be having because the banks lent a load of money to people who couldn't pay it back? Is it really a good idea not to use any possible method to try and pick out people who wont repay their loans?
Not good game design (431 comments)
Think about it a minute.
You have civilians in game, there are a few options how its handled.
1. No consequences. The anti violence lobby goes nuts, the game is OK, but every time someone opens fire there are screams and civilians running. Probably quite entertaining hunting them down and shooting them but would distract from the main story and the novelty would soon wear off.
2. Instant consequences. You hit a civilian the mission is failed. This is annoying, failing missions from accidentally winging your computerised team mates is frustrating enough, this would be 10x more likely and as a consequence far more annoying.
3. Delayed consequences. You hit a civilian the game goes on, then in the end of mission debrief there are consequences. Either a mission failed redo it (immensely frustrating after spending half an hour working your way through a mission) or some negative impact on your score (but if you put a "number of civilians killed" score in there some people are going to try to max it out. This could actually be quite good if well thought out and there was some method of the computer distinguishing "accidental" civilian shootings from deliberate ones. Differing paths and mission briefings etc. But it means a lot more work from a game design perspective.
The other thing:
What are these civilians doing in my war-zone?
OK in some sort of terrorist event civilians aren't that unlikely. But once the shooting starts you will only find them cowering under tables behind locked doors.
In a battlefield/war-zone scenario, the civilians would have had plenty of time to evacuate or lock themselves in the basement etc. So civilians just "wondering around" is highly unlikely.

With the launch of Samsung's Galaxy S just around the corner, Korea IT Times are reporting that Samsung plan to release the device at the same time in 110 countries around the world.
If reports of an Asian release date in June are accurate, this probably means that you'll be able to get your hands on the Galaxy S in the next few weeks, regardless of whereabouts in the world you are.
This certainly comes as a surprise, following claims from Verizon's CEO, Lowell McAdam, that Samsung can't manufacturer enough AMOLED displays to support demand for the Droid Incredible.
Launching the Galaxy S, which uses the same AMOLED display, in 110 countries at the same time certainly goes some way to discrediting those claims, and is undoubtedly a publicity stunt to show that production of AMOLED displays is just fine.

FBI agents and veterans will be on the lookout this Memorial Day weekend for phony military heroes, a disquieting trend that officials say has grown substantially in the years of the war with Iraq. "I probably get three to five calls a day about someone spotted with suspicious decorations," said Doug Sterner, who passes along the tips to veterans groups and the FBI. Sterner operates the Web site Home of Heroes, which is dedicated to honoring true military heroes. Photos: Phony Military Heroes: Medals of Dishonor "I'll be damned if I sit idly by while some wannabe phony wears awards that real heroes gave their lives for," Sterner said. Among the most recent examples is Louis Lowell McGuinn of New York City. He claimed to be a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, often appearing at military events wearing an impressive array of decorations, including a Purple Heart, Silver Star and the Distinguished Service Cross. But law enforcement officials say it was a ruse and that McGuinn was discharged from the Army in 1968 as a private, with none of the decorations he claimed. Last month, FBI agents arrested McGuinn and charged him with wearing unearned medals and badges in violation of federal law. They say he posed as a highly decorated military officer in order to get a job with an underwater marine security company. McGuinn pleaded not guilty and was released on $5,000 bail with his travel restricted. When contacted by ABC News, he declined to comment on the case. The FBI and veterans groups say there are more and more decorated phonies turning up every day, and when they are caught, the punishment varies. In one recent case in St. Louis, businessman Gerald Weilbacher received only two years probation and a $3,000 fine after pleading guilty to federal charges of wearing Marine Corps medals he did not earn, including the Navy Cross, the Corps' second highest medal. The 400-pound Weilbacher never served in the Marines and was spotted at one Marine Corps veterans event as a phony because "he was too fat to be a Marine," according to one veteran. In contrast, Michael Bramlett of Springfield, Mo., was sentenced to six months in federal prison without parole for claiming to be a Marine Captain and wearing unauthorized medals that included a Silver Star, Navy Cross and a Purple Heart for combat in Iraq. At his sentencing on April 3, U.S. Attorney Bradley Schlozman said, "This impostor received the maximum penalty for his dishonorable conduct. Such disrespect for the brave men and women serving in our nation's forces won't be tolerated." FBI Agent Michael Sandborn works to track down and expose phony military heroes. "In cemeteries overseas, there are 124,913 Americans who paid for their Purple Hearts with their lives, and these impostors purchase theirs over the Internet and at surplus stores," he told ABC News. Recent passage of the Stolen Valor Act now makes any misrepresentation of military decorations punishable by up to a year in jail. Watchdogs like Doug Sterner think that even with the tougher law, military phonies will still be out there tarnishing the image of the true military heroes. Sterner says, "It's so prevalent that you're never going to catch and prosecute all of them." Do you have a tip for Brian Ross & the Investigative Team?

I think the next champion shouldnt be human at all, I think the next champ should be a mask. Majoras mask.
She is related to Ashe... She's also a Nord! (Frost Resistance) I can understand why people complain about overly-female champions, but at the same time, I don't see how they can be so flustered by it; It's a game. While the Male champions are varied in some ways, they would be exaggerated if compared to the average real human Male. While Caster types are typically thinner, they are no less muscular. Take Talon and his (While not a caster, he's no bruiser) newest skin for example, look at his shoulders. You cannot say that is any less stereotypical than the Wonder Woman-esque female champions. Video game characters are built to be unnatural. Be it super-human, alien, monstrous, or something else.

noun \ˈnü-trē-ə, ˈnyü-\Definition of NUTRIA
: the durable usually light brown fur of a nutria
: a large South American semiaquatic rodent (Myocastor coypus) with webbed hind feet and a round nearly hairless tail that has been introduced into parts of Europe, Asia, and North America
Origin of NUTRIA
American Spanish, from Spanish, otter, modification of Latin lutra; probably akin to Old English oter otter
First Known Use: 1820
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Semiaquatic South American rodent (Myocastor coypus) in the hutia family (Capromyidae). The nutria has small ears, a long, rounded, scaly tail, partially webbed hind feet, and broad orange incisors. It is about 40 in. (1 m) long, including the tail, and may weigh 18 lbs (8 kg). Its reddish brown fur consists of coarse guard hairs overlying a soft undercoat. The nutria lives in a shallow burrow along a pond or river and mainly eats aquatic plants. Because their fur is valuable, nutrias were introduced into North America and Europe, and in some places have become pests that damage crops and compete with other wildlife.

An XML parser is a program that reads the XML file and translates it into an in-memory hierarchical representation, and send that by XML Infoset, DOM, SAX or any other API like that to the application that handles the resulting hierarchical representation of the structure described by the XML document. The target application may be a browser, a database application, or any other program that handles XML. Almost all programs that handle XML have an XML processor bundled with them, though, so you wouldn't need to provide one to them.
In XML you write documents, not programs. In transforming them to XSLT you use an XSLT processor, either the built in XSLT processor in a clientside user agent such as iew or moz, or a server side processor.
To give you some advice on what you should do/look for, I think you need to specify a bit more what you're going to use the XML for both on the server and on the client, as well as what tools and programs you have to deal with on either side.
If you really need an XML processor, you could have a look at <http://horizon.nserl.purdue.edu/Xml/XMLtools.html>, which is a list of pretty much the best XML related tools list you can find.

At The Dancing Farmer we grow and select our cut flowers for fragrance, color, pattern or just the simple overall delightfulness that we and others respond to. We love to be surprised by the stunning complexity of a flower or a branch, and to that end we are always trying out new types of flowers and other plants with ornamental value. In addition to sustainable cut flowers we also offer herbs for beauty in bouquets and adding flavor to a dish. Some of our herbs cross the line between form (beauty) and function (medicine).
We strive through our organic and sustainable practices to do no harm to the environment so that you can be confident your cut flowers are safe to smell, wear, and eat if you so desire. We also work hard to build soil fertility by adding back what we take away in the form of animal: rabbit, horse, cow, and cover crops: clovers, buckwheat, vetch etc. and use only natural forms of pest control ---which sometimes means we let them live!

Annie and Soulstealer?
The usual Annie builds seem to be way to cliche, its like Rod of Ages, boots, and thats it. There's a tank guide on page 4 that uses that, there's 2-3 other annie guides on pages 2 and 3 that use that. Unless your getting your Rod of Ages in the first 10 minutes, its not really getting put to its full use. There has to be another way to play her. I think a REAL tank Annie would focus on lots of survivability and getting ganks and assists to stack up her soulstealer.
When I play annie I get atleast 2 kills in the first 10 minutes, and then by the time 15 minutes rolls around I have a Rod of Ages. With the same money a Rod of Ages cost I could get a Mejaj's Soulstealer (around the time I got a catalyst) and a Glacial Shroud, then by 20-25 minutes in, get a Frozen Heart? Thoughts? |
frozen heart/glacial shroud doesn't give you protection against anything except for dps, and even then very little protection(as they still have abilities to hit you with). soulstealers isn't so great imo on annie since she doesn't need too much AP, RoA is perfect for her as it gives her a nice mana pool to play with with survivability, laning power(catalyst keeps you going for a while), and some nice damage as well. after that void staff is all you really need for damage, it cuts down people who stack magic resist, and works well overall. If you really just want 1v1s, or the other team is really tanky you can just grab deathfires instead, and slapping that before/during your combo practically ensures death. cooldown reduction on annie isn't too needed but its nice to have, but her disintegrate is already on a low cooldown anyway.
Well, probably mejai's + glacial shroud + negatron cloak would be more effective than a RoA, later you can turn your shroud into FH and negatron to banshee veil. It will help you a ton to keep your charges of Mejai's
Then why not Banshee's Veil and Meja's?
Catalyst, Meja's, and then Banshee for serious team fighting? It seems like I always end up with around 8 kills a match, and 10 assists cause I am ALWAYS in a team fight. |
soulstealer is fairly good on annie. i use it from time to time. it helps secure victory in some situations.
since the burst damage from mejai is so great, i use it to counter some carries like twitch or corki. normally, i go a bit magic resist instead. |
it is, it really is, void staff pretty much makes you unstoppable at that point, there is nothing that they can really do about it besides banshees and stacking HP, if you have archaic knowledge 55% magic penetration+ sorcerers boots is nothing to laugh at. RoA is my everything with annie really, unless the other team is like all tanks or something, you'll have enough damage for a team fight along with mana and health.
if i get a few kills early i might get catalyst, boots, then mejai's, then RoA, but its not too necessary, unless you plan to carry the team, since it'll make everyone go for you first and you can bait them into stuns and back off till your cooldowns are back up. |
annie's specialty is aoe stun. she's one of the very few mages that can aoe stun. the nice thing about hers' is that it's instant and deadly.
in ocmparison, veigar is a trap that may or not proc. veigar's aoe damage is weak. morgana's is melee range, easily avoidable, and has quite a delay. |
Just played Annie with the typical
Catalyst Boots Rod of Ages Finish Boots Routine and threw in a banshees after that, went 5-0-10 with her, didn't really start pwning faces until after I got the Banshees and started getting agressive with her. For the first 20 minutes of the game I was mostly 0-0-2, soloing mid of course. (I always try to solo our lane if they let me, or if we have a jungle warwick, I'll solo) |
What is it that people are doing that secures them at least ~2 kills in the first 10 minutes?
I typically do alright when the game is done; soloing mid in the beginning and helping the team with AoE stun/nukes in the end - but I can't fathom consistently getting 2 kills that early. Sure, I'll occasionally have that happen, but more times than not, it'll be because someone comes up to mid to help me with the gank... Typical gear setup: -Sapphire Crystal + 2 health pots -Boots of speed -Sorc Shoes -Deathfire Grasp -RoA -Void Staff -(Survival item: Banshee/Guardian) -Zhonya's Ring (I don't think a games gone on long enough to actually complete this) |

Storm Drain Rescue
A Candler man is lucky to be alive after he was swept through a culvert at his home Wednesday night. Floyd Johnson, 72, says he was trying to remove tree branches from a storm pipe when he fell into the creek. He tried getting out but was eventually sucked through the pipe. Johnson was not seriously hurt but he says he felt like a human "roto rooter" after the incident. Johnson is confident that he cleared all of the debris out of the pipe with his body.

"Worries about the U.S. economy pushed stocks to the longest losing streak in nearly three years, sending the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index to a 2011 closing low.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 265.87 points, or 2.2%, to 11866.62, on Tuesday. The blue-chip index's eighth consecutive decline marks its longest losing streak since October 2008. It has lost 6.7% during the skid, dating back to July 22. This is only the sixth time the Dow has dropped eight straight days in more than 30 years.
The S&P 500 shed 32.89 points, or 2.6%, to 1254.05, marking its seventh straight loss. The index suffered its biggest percentage drop in a year and registered the lowest close since December.
The technology-oriented Nasdaq Composite gave up 75.37 points, or 2.8%, to 2669.24, its biggest percentage drop since last August.
"The market is in corrective mode," said Tom Donino, co-head of trading at First New York Securities.
Stocks slumped even as President Barack Obama signed into law a bill that raises the nation's debt ceiling and cuts the budget deficit by at least $2.1 trillion over the next decade. Markets are now focused on weak growth plaguing the U.S. economy.
Data Tuesday showed Americans cut spending by the most in nearly two years and saved at a faster rate during June, a pair of signs that underscored the economy's lack of vigor.
The consumer-spending figures highlight another aspect of the struggling recovery. Last week brought news that the U.S. economy barely expanded in the first half, and a report on Monday showed that manufacturing is shaky. Friday's employment report is expected to continue to show a stagnant labor market.
"All the debt-ceiling drama did was mask what's really happening in the economy," said Rob Stein, global head of asset management at Astor Asset Management. "The ultimate outcome is slow growth for years and years."" (Wall Street Journal)
I couldn't agree more with Rob's comment about the debt ceiling debate masking the shape our economy is in. The ISM Index was reported at 50.9 yesterday, a 4.4 point drop compared to last month. The ISM index monitors employment, production inventories, new orders and supplier deliveries. I expected the market react negatively to this yesterday, but what we saw was a see-saw swing because of the US House voting on the debt ceiling. The Dow closed down 10 points yesterday, a fallacy to say the least.
As stated in the WSJ report, personal spending is down -0.2% for the month of July. Since the market did not react accordingly to the weak manufacturing data yesterday, today's significant drop was due to a joint reaction of weak manufacturing data and weak personal spending data… a delayed reaction of some sort.

The first time George Todd sailed, he took to the seas for two years. His initial voyage carried him from Hong Kong through the West Indies and, eventually, to America. He was hooked. Looking to continue his aquatic explorations, the former Navy pilot and officer set out to build his own vessel from many of the materials he obtained on his travels. The elegant result was the Schooner Mallory Todd, a 65-foot yacht furnished with the trappings of a bygone nautical age: antique stained glass, rubbed mahogany, and a main saloon outfitted with porcelain fireplaces.
Today, the Schooner Mallory Todd takes to the waters helmed by a dedicated crew. A US Coast Guard-certified captain mans voyages for up to 30 passengers at a time, guiding guests through the mountain-framed reaches of Lake Washington and Lake Union. Along the way, the ship might pass the iconic houseboats featured in Sleepless in Seattle, or drift by bald eagles building their nests and combing over their neck plumage.
Besides running charters, Todd helms his own nonprofit, the Sailing Heritage Society. Every year, the organization grants more than 100 free sailing trips to ill and underserved children. All fees for charters on the Schooner Mallory Todd support the society's charitable voyages.
All Season Charters' quartet of captains share the wheel of the company's single 50-foot, all-purpose boat, Annie A. The ship serves a variety of purposes, ferrying passengers as they hunt salmon with the firm hand of Captain Amy at the tiller or spot whale flukes with the eagle-eyed guidance of Captain Michael. It holds up to 20 people, providing ample railing-space for scenic views, as well as the comfort of a galley with free coffee. The captains, for their part, charter their vessel out for any kind of oceanic excursions, such as sea burials or hunts for that message in a bottle you lost.
The Electric Boat Company sets customers loose on Lake Union in trusty, battery-powered Duffy boats. Set-sailors steer their own 21-foot craft while traditional lake chanteys spill from the sound system, which includes a CD player and an iPod jack. Other passengers can lounge on leather seats in the cabin area, whose windows can be kept open to invite in the breeze or fully closed to avoid being poked by a marlin. Before a trip, guests can pack a cooler with snacks, pick up forgotten ice and drinks at the on-site snack shop, or satisfy appetites at lakeside restaurants.

Club members have access to a fleet of 26 boats, from small keelboats to 40-footers, which they can take out on Puget Sound at their leisure. Membership levels allow for unlimited day sailing or a pay-as-you-go arrangement, as well as overnight sailing for captains who have memorized where all the stop signs are. New sailors and weathered seadogs alike can sign up for lessons taught by licensed instructors, as well as pick up the latest gear. And the club emphasizes the community aspect of boating as well?members frequently come together for races, parties, and group flotillas.

I also agree that SD is the best sweep listing forum but the one thing I think we are missing are Twitter sweeps. It's kind of hard to find them though because unlike website, Facebook, or Pinterest sweeps there aren't standard promotional companies that run Twitter Sweepstakes. The other thing is that a lot of them don't have official rules so it's hard to tell which ones are legitimate and which ones aren't. You can search stuff like #win or #giveaway but there are just so many. I also wish I could find more local sweeps but it's kind of hard to find a phrase that most local sweeps use Anybody know a good add on to save sessions for Firefox? I tried session manager but whenever I try to open a session my opened tabs end up getting replaced with the saved session instead of opening new tabs. It's weird because I have it for Chrome and it works perfect for Chrome.
What's up with end dates changing after a sweeps starts?
* Soft Scrub Don't Worry, Be Happy Sweepstakes WAS 4/19 NOW 4/5 * Norwegians Breakaway Instant Win and Sweepstakes WAS 3/15 NOW 4/18 * DOLE Monday Funday Sweepstakes (Facebook) (Monday's ONLY) WAS 4/1 NOW 4/29 |
Somewhere along the way, they changed the rules (and someone noted in on the SD thread) which now show it started on March 11, 2013 and ended April 5, 2013. So much for getting in daily entries from March 11 - March 22. Ticks me off when sponsors change the rules like that! Believe!
Just got a UPS notice that a package will be delivered on 4/10. Coming from "EPI FULFILLMENT-CLARK #2" and has a the starting three letters of "OPR" in the reference and weighs 1 pound.
I usually stay on top of anything coming, going, won, whatever so this is a complete surprise. The last time I got a surprise letter/parcel from UPS it was a warrant for my arrest (my truck was stolen, stripped down, and driven to a drug deal and quadruple murder a week later.....luckily, the local lawdogs had filed a stolen vehicle report long before it was used for all that, I had taken my service pistol/uniform/other things inside that evening, and the judge at the courthouse I work verified I was at work the morning it all happened because I escorted him in). Needless to say, I do not like surprises. |
I don't know, the last time I saw that reference, someone had mentioned OPRAH. Just found this: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p= Could be Victoria's Secret. Last edited by melan26; 04-09-2013 at 02:06 AM.. |
Honestly, it happens more than you realize. My ex-BIL had his truck stolen while he was at work by joyriders who knocked over a gas station one night. Video got the plate, the cops ran it, found him, cuffed him right there at his job, and held him for 24 hours. It wasn't until the clerk came to ID him that they said it was kids who did it and he had his boss confirm he was at work all night they released him. People's stuff gets stolen all the time then used in a crime and the first suspect is always the rightful owner. A word of advice: if anything you own ever gets stolen, file a report immediately. No matter how small. But what caused all that was the local PD made the report for local only so my stolen POS truck wasn't entered into the national database. And since I'm in the system, the only fingerprints they got a hit on were mine. I got a free three day paid vacation out of the deal so it all worked out.
Is anyone having problems with Firefox Sync service? When it finally works properly will it save only new additions/deletions? I mean it won't allow one computer's bookmarks to override the other computer's bookmarks, right?

Whatever you have synced up to Firefox should be all the same, even if using a different computer, the one you've synced will become the updated one. When you sync a Firefox browser to another computer, it will ask you to sign in and you'll be asked some code that you'll have to input that will retrieve your saved bookmarks. |
Since you've added more bookmarks and what not with the laptop, when you sync your desktop computer, it should add all the new additions, that is, if you have chosen the default when you used the sync options. Link here: http://support.mozilla |
You could try to unlink the desktop when you go to Tools > Options > Sync and under Device Name, Click on Unlink This Device. Restart and try to link it again. Before that, make sure you retrieve the Recovery Key under Manage Account, copy and paste to a simple notepad on desktop. If anything, make sure it's the same recovery key as the one for your laptop since there's a warning at the bottom stating changing key... good luck. Hmmm... it's the latest version? Might have to re-install if you're having a problem still. |

Thanks all :-) Jim, I made one the other day for a gal who had just lost her mother and it even blew my sox off. It was 24" across and had every color in the rainbow. It had half a dozen fully opened Double Delights alone and that cluster of Red Edens in the center. I was in such a hurry I didn't get a pic but I will tell you it brought tears :-) Carol, my hydrangeas are just finishing and they start right before my roses in May. I think I have a couple of dozen or so between mops and lacecaps. They were incredible this year. My roses are still going gangbusters, especially the DDs and Easies. |

Jobs Report A Litmus Test For Economy's Direction
By Chris Arnold
The U.S. economy added only 120,000 jobs in March, far below expectations. The job gains were the smallest in five months. The report isn't a conclusive verdict on the economy. It could be an off month of weak growth or the sign of something more troubling — a serious hiring slowdown.

Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) Reports 2012 Results; Provides 2013 Earnings Per Share Forecast
2012 Fourth-Quarter
In the EU, net revenues decreased by 6.6% to $2.1 billion, due primarily to unfavorable currency of $133 million, largely reflecting the strengthening of the U.S. dollar to the Euro compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Excluding currency, net revenues decreased by 0.5%, mainly due to unfavorable volume/mix of $105 million, predominantly reflecting a lower total market and share, and unfavorable trade inventory movements, in France and Italy, and a lower total market and share in Portugal. The decrease was partly offset by favorable pricing of $93 million, driven by France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Operating companies income decreased by 5.6% to $955 million, due primarily to unfavorable currency of $78 million. Excluding the unfavorable impact of currency, operating companies income increased by 2.1%, reflecting higher pricing and favorable asset impairment and exit costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, partly offset by higher marketing costs, principally reflecting marketing investment behind the "Be Marlboro" marketing campaign.
Adjusted operating companies income decreased by 7.2%, as shown in the table above and detailed on Schedule 11. Adjusted operating companies income, excluding currency, increased by 0.4%.
Excluding the impact of currency, adjusted operating companies income margin was up by 0.5 percentage points to 47.3%, as detailed on Schedule 11. The total cigarette market in the EU declined by 5.7% to 124.3 billion units, due primarily to tax-driven price increases, the unfavorable economic and employment environment, particularly in southern Europe, the growth of the OTP category, and the increased prevalence of illicit trade. PMI's cigarette shipment volume in the EU declined by 5.7%, due principally to a lower total market across the Region. Shipment volume of Marlboro decreased by 3.2%, mainly due to a lower total market, partially offset by higher share. Shipment volume of L&M was down by 3.4%. Shipment volume of Chesterfield was up by 4.7%. PMI's market share in the EU was up by 0.4 points to 38.4%. Market share of Marlboro was up by 0.5 points to 18.5%, reflecting gains mainly in Belgium, Greece, Hungary, Italy and Poland, which more than offset lower share mainly in France, the Netherlands and Portugal. L&M's market share was up by 0.1 point to 6.8%. Chesterfield's market share was up by 0.4 points to 3.8%, driven notably by gains in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. Philip Morris' market share was up by 0.2 points to 2.1%, with gains, notably in the Czech Republic, France, Italy and Portugal. PMI's shipments of OTP, in cigarette equivalent units, grew by 4.1%, reflecting a higher total market and share. The decline in the growth rate compared to the 2012 full-year growth rate principally reflects the impact of excise tax-driven price increases, notably in Italy. PMI's OTP total market share was 12.3%, up by 0.6 points, driven by gains in the fine cut category, notably in Belgium, up by 2.0 points to 16.3%, France, up by 1.1 points to 26.1%, Greece, up by 3.7 points to 13.1%, Italy, up by 6.6 points to 27.8% and Spain, up by 3.0 points to 13.1%.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

text: The Blizzard wiki last edited by N00beditor3 on 10/07/14 07:25PM View full history OriginThe unambitious Donald "Donnie" Gill was chosen by industrialist Justin Hammer to don a new and improved Blizzard suit that Hammer had been working on. Hammer chose Donnie to succeed the late Gregor Shapanka as the costumed criminal Blizzard as Donnie was compliant and didn't question orders. As Blizzard, Donnie was on call as one of Justin Hammer's many super-powered and armored operatives.CreationBlizzard was created by Bob Layton, David Michelinie and Mark Bright and first appeared in Iron Man #223. He is a legacy character based on the original Blizzard created by Stan Lee and Don Heck, although the Blizzard identity was created by Bill Mantlo and George Tuska.Character EvolutionBlizzard entered Iron Man's rogues gallery and battled the hero from time to time on behalf of Justin Hammer. Unlike many of his other foes, Iron Man actually managed to convince Donnie to attempt to reform, but despite his desire to do good, Donnie found himself constantly stuck between the two paths. Eventually, he resolved to commit to his goal of reformation and joined the Thunderbolts who nutured and helped him realize his potential. Eventually, Donnie left the team when his costume was destroyed and with nowhere left to go and no support system, Donnie fell back to petty crime.During Marvel's Infinity event in 2013, Donnie was exposed to Terrigen Mists and underwent a terrigenesis which transformed him into an Inhuman. His skin was mutated into an appropriately snow-like blue and the powers that he once relied on his suit for are now inherent in his body. Eventually he found out that he also has the abilities of a human battery.Powers and AbilitiesDonnie formerly wore a special battle suit which enabled him to generate ice, to varying effects. Most commonly, Donnie would create icicles which he would use as projectiles or would create slides of ice to travel.Following his mutation, Donnie is now capable of generating ice naturally through his body, to what extent is yet to be seen. He also has the ability to similar to that of a battery, being able to power things up to the point of overloading.In Other MediaTelevisionIron Man: Armored AdventuresBlizzard in Armored AdventuresBlizzard appears as a recurring villain in Iron Man: Armored Adventures, first debuting in the episode "Cold War". Though he is the Donnie Gill version of the character, he sports the origin of the original Blizzard, Gregor Shapanka. It is stated that Gill was originally a scientist employed by Obadiah Stane, but after being disfigured in a lab accident, he sought vengeance on his former boss by creating a suit of armor that gave him cryogenic abilities. He was voiced by David Orth.The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest HeroesBlizzard appears as a very minor recurring character in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, voiced by Troy Baker (who also voiced Hawkeye). He was heavily redesigned so that his costume now included a parka, as a nod to Captain Cold.Ultimate Spider-ManUltimate BlizzardBlizzard made a cameo appearance in the Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Flight of the Iron Spider", sporting his design from Earth's Mightiest Heroes.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.Dylan Minnette as Donnie GillThe Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Donnie Gill debuts in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode "Seeds," played by Dylan Minnette. He is introduced as a socially-awkward 18-year old prodigy at the S.H.I.E.L.D. academy, who partners with his friend Seth to create a device that instantly turns moisture into ice. He and Seth lure agent Leo Fitz to the school in order to help complete the device, with the intention of selling it to the corrupt industrialist Ian Quinn. The plan backfires when the machine is struck by lightning, which injures Donnie and kills Seth. Embittered by the death of his only friend, Donnie is driven off to be monitored at the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility known as the Sandbox, which upsets Fitz, who believes Donnie to be a good kid who was simply led astray. In the closing moments of the episode, it is revealed that the ice machine's explosion has infused Donnie with cryogenic abilities.Donnie returns in the Season 2 episode "Making Friends and Influencing People," where he is shown hiding out in Morocco in the aftermath of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fall during Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He is approached by agents of HYDRA, who want him to join their cause. After killing several HYDRA agents, he is revealed to have been brainwashed by the organization to return to them. While under their control, he is shot and apparently killed by Skye, though it is stated that his body was not found.Video GamesBlizzard appears in Marvel: Avengers Alliance and the Marvel Heroes online game.

Poland was assigned the highest short-term rating at Moody's Investors Service because of the country's improved liquidity and rising cash reserve.
The rating company assessed the government of the European Union's largest eastern economy Prime-1, it said in an e-mailed statement late yesterday. Poland has an A2 long-term debt rating, the sixth-highest investment grade, with a stable outlook at Moody's, according to the report.
"The stock of short-term outstanding debt has declined markedly to under 1 percent of gross domestic product by the end of 2011 from around 4 percent in 2008," Moody's said.

Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社ソニー・コンピュータエンタテインメント) is a Japanese multinational video game company specializing in a variety of areas in the video game industry, and is a wholly owned subsidiary and part of the Consumer Products & Services Group of Sony. The company was established on November 16, 1993 in Tokyo, Japan, prior to the launch of the original PlayStation video game system. Sony Computer Entertainment handles the research & development, production, and sales of both hardware and software for the PlayStation line of handheld and home console video game systems. It is also a developer and publisher of video game titles and is composed of several subsidiaries covering the company's biggest markets: North America, Europe and Asia.
The North American operations, Sony Computer Entertainment of America, were established in May 1994 as a division of Sony Electronic Publishing. They were located in Foster City and headed by Steve Race. In the months prior to the release of PlayStation in Western markets, the operations were restructured: All videogame marketing from Sony Imagesoft was folded into SCEA in July 1995, with most affected employees transferred from Santa Monica to Foster City. On August 7, 1995, Steve Race unexpectedly resigned and was named CEO of Spectrum HoloByte three days later. He was replaced by Sony Electronics veteran Martin Homlish. As part of a worldwide restructuring at the beginning of 1997, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (currently Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC), headquartered in Foster City was reestablished as a wholly owned subsidiary of SCEI. On July 1, 2002 Chairman of SCE, Shigeo Maruyama, was replaced by Tamotsu Iba as Chairman. Jack Tretton and Phil Harrison were also promoted to Senior Vice President of SCE.
The history of Video Games goes as far back as the 1940s, when in 1947 Thomas T. Goldsmith, Jr. and Estle Ray Mann filed a United States patent request for an invention they described as a "cathode ray tube amusement device." Video gaming would not reach mainstream popularity until the 1970s and 1980s, when arcade video games, gaming consoles and home computer games were introduced to the general public. Since then, video gaming has become a popular form of entertainment and a part of modern culture in most parts of the world. As of 2013, there are eight generations of video game consoles.
Computer hardware is the collection of physical elements that constitutes a computer system. Computer hardware refers to the physical parts or components of a computer such as the monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, hard drive disk (HDD), system unit (graphic cards, sound cards, memory, motherboard and chips), etc. all of which are physical objects that can be touched. In contrast, software is instructions that can be stored and run by hardware.
Software is any set of machine-readable instructions that directs a computer's processor to perform specific operations. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system.

PlayStation 3 competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles. It was first released on November 11, 2006, in Japan, with international markets following shortly thereafter.
A video game developer is a software developer that specializes in video game development – the process and related disciplines of creating video games. A game developer can range from a single person who undertakes all tasks to a large business with employee responsibilities split between individual disciplines, such as programming, design, art, testing, etc. Most game developer companies have video game publisher financial and usually marketing support. Self-funded developers are known as independent or indie developers and usually make indie games.
A developer may specialize in a certain video game console (such as Nintendo's Wii U, Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3), or may develop for a number of systems (including personal computers).]citation needed[ Video-game developers specialize in certain types of games (such as role-playing video games or first-person shooters). Some focus on porting games from one system to another, or translating games from one language to another. Less commonly, some do other kinds of software-development work in addition to games.
Marvel Pinball is an arcade pinball video game developed by Zen Studios. It features Marvel Comics-themed pinball tables. It is available as a standalone game for the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network, and as downloadable content for Pinball FX 2 on the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade. Its content on the PlayStation 3 is also playable in Zen Pinball 2. It is the second pinball title for the PlayStation 3, succeeding Zen Pinball. It was released on December 8, 2010 on the Xbox 360 and December 14, 2010 on the PlayStation 3.
The game was positively received by critics. It holds an aggregate score of 87.73% on the Xbox 360 and 82.85% on the PlayStation 3 at GameRankings. Reviewers praised the visual presentation of each table, and commented specifically on the bright colors and animated characters. Most reviewers felt the table design was excellent, however some felt that certain sections of the table felt bare. Critics generally felt that it was an excellent value for the cost.]citation needed[ Sales during the month of its release exceeded 47,000 copies on the Xbox 360 and 19,000 on the PlayStation 3.]citation needed[
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve several billion users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW), the infrastructure to support email, and peer-to-peer networks.
Most traditional communications media including telephone, music, film, and television are being reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Protocol television (IPTV). Newspaper, book and other print publishing are adapting to website technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds. The Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of human interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking. Online shopping has boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans and traders. Business-to-business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire industries.

Welcome to the VTNS (Vintage Textile and Needlework Sellers) Facebook Fanpage Fan Freebie Friday. Today we are sharing a beautiful lacy bedspread vintage crochet pattern. The design reminds me of the gingerbread lattice on a the porch of a Victorian Era home.
A great pattern for lace lovers. It's called "Lace Valentine" and graces the cover of a publication from Lily Crochet Cotton called Crocheted Bedspreads. This pattern booklet is not dated but I'd guess it's from the 1940s.
Each block measures about 5¼ inches square when blocked and requires 45 yards. Lily's Skytone Mercerized Crochet Cotton is called for, but no longer available. Mercerized thread undergoes a process to make it stronger and give it a luster. There are many suitable crochet cottons for bedspreads available now that you could substitute. Just make sure the mercerized cotton thread you choose matches the size of the motif when finished, 5¼ inches square.
Even though this is described as a bedspread pattern each of the pretty motifs are crocheted individually and then joined together. So you could make a pillow, tablecloth or any size bedspread out of this pattern. It would just depend on the amount of lacy blocks you crocheted and how you join them together.
When you look at the pattern instructions you'll notice that it requires you to crochet "Clusters" which I'd like to explain here as outlined in the book:
CLUSTER – This consists of 2 or more dc, tr, dtr, or tr tr, gathered together at top into a tight group. Hold the last loop of each st on hook, then thread over and draw thru all loops on hook at once, pulling tight. Stitches can be made thru either both loops of stitches of previous row or thru the back loops only. If not specified, take up both loops.
I've also included the complete Terms and Explanation of Stitches page from the booklet. You can see the full page here. Be sure to hit your browser's BACK button to return to this post.
The chart below, included in this booklet, will help you in finding a substitute for the Sky-Tone thread. You'll notice that the same size crochet hooks are suggested for the Size 10 cotton and the Sky-Tone Size 1, but still check the finished motif's measurements.
Looking at the design for this pattern, if you leave off the Clusters on each corner, I can see a really pretty Snowflake in the middle. If you made several of those in white and starched them, what a pretty decoration they would be for your tree, as a tag on a package, or made into a garland and hung around your home. This is really a versatile crochet pattern.
Enjoy and Happy Valentine's Day!
The download for the pattern is below:
The pattern is in pdf format so to download it you'll need the Adobe Reader software on your computer. Most computers come with it, but it is free and can be found here.
Download Instructions: Right-Click the link below and select either "save target as" or "save link as" depending on what browser you are using.

My prior postings on the lighting forum have all been questions, so I'm happy to be able to post a recommendation. If you like copper lighting fixtures in the Arts & Craft style, I can recommend James Davies of Craftsman Copper. All the fixtures he makes are custom, so they aren't cheap by any means but I fully expect my lamp to last my lifetime and probably "outlive" me.
This weekend, the copper floor lamp he made for me arrived. It's such a handsome lamp! The hammering of the metal is just beautiful. It's rather unconventional in that it's a torchiere, but I needed something very practical to light a large open space with 10 foot high ceilings. In that sense, I think that it's true to the arts & crafts spirit of having beautiful yet useful household objects. Although I got a floor lamp, if you go to Mr. Davies' website, you'll see a variety of lamps and chandeliers. It was also a pleasure to communicate with Mr. Davies during the process, as each lamp is custom made. He did an excellent job of keeping in touch with me to let me know the status of my order. I highly recommend Craftsman Copper lamps. Here is his contact information: Phone - (360) 486-4962,

sankin kotai
sankin kotai
In Japanese history, a system of alternating residency practiced during the Tokugawa period (1603–1867). The daimyo (domain lords) were required to reside alternately in their han (feudal domains) and in Edo (modern Tokyo), the capital of the Tokugawa shogunate. The system, inaugurated in 1635, lasted until 1862. It kept the daimyo from building up power bases in their domains that could threaten the shogunate, and, because of the expense of maintaining two residences, prevented them from building up wealth. It also contributed to the flowering of an urban culture and a commercial economy and encouraged improvements to roads and communications.
