Brewing tomorrow. Grain & hop bill: 5 gallon batch 5 lbs bohemian floor malted german pilsner 3 lbs white wheat malt 1/2 lb unmalted red wheat 1/2 lb honey malt 1/2 oz rakau hop 11.2% AA 60 min 1/2 oz rakau hop 11.2% AA 30 min 1 oz rakau dry hop (not if using rosalare?) I have 2 brett starters over a week long. One is bret brux from white labs. Second is cultured from lips of faith "brett beer" could pitch one or both for 100% brett ferment. Also have yeast cake from WLP670 (brett & sacc, no lacto or pedio) that is from a peach farmhouse saison I will be transferring. Finally... we have the wyeast rosalare blend. This one has all the bugs and funk. Just got this one in the mail yesterday. I love a good sour. We have a 5 gal 'dark kriek' brewing now with WLP655 belgian sour mix. It is currently at 10 months. It is our first attempt at sour brewing. Still many months away. Our peach farmhouse saison is good so far. Sampled it today, at 2 months. It is different, but good. Not very peachy. Will have about another month in secondary then bottle. As for the 100% brett... I tried the lips of faith brettbeer. It was good. I would drink it again. It is the only pure brett I have had. I have no idea what I should expect from a homebrew version of brett-only beer. we do have some acidulated malt we can add if that seems appropriate anywhere. Oh, we are also going to be brewing said beer on our new brew stand, for its first run. So... Anyone wanna chime in with advice, experience or even just an opinion on who gets to swim?
If you want to drink relatively soon, 100% Brett will finish quickest. If you're in for the long haul, go Roselare, but drop your hopping. I didn't run a calc, but I think your IBUs will be too high. You can always dry hop a year or so down the road before bottling/kegging if you want the hop flavor. If you have 1 gallon jugs or 2 gallon buckets, split the batch and give them all a shot.
My father says, "hobbies are supposed to cost money".
I do have some 18 month old triskel hops 8.4% AA. I could sub the hops if I used rosalare. I have combined my brett starters in new wort. I accidentally dumped one in while wort was at 100 degrees F. I think it should be ok. It was only above 90 F for about 45 seconds. Still unsure what to pitch. Going to start the strike water now. I will think on it as I go.
If I recall the Lips of Faith Brett beer is pasteurized. You might want to check on that. Also from my understanding 100% brett beers are typically pretty clean flavor wise
It was my understanding that lips of faith are all pasteurized. However, I tried anyway. My sanitation was on point, and my results were evident in about 18 hours. I was skeptical at first. In fact, I almost dumped it. In the end, I was convinced my culture was valid (and viciously healthy). Tasted the spent wort from the starter, and I am quite happy with what we've got going on. Apparently, their pasturization is not what it was intended to be, at least where the brett is concerned.
This one is now fermenting away: I'm learning on this one as we go. So far, I have learned that brett is very top cropping. It is also a much more relaxed fermentation than ale yeast. I really have no idea what to expect here. I am going to guess 3-4 week primary with a 1-2 week secondary. I will dry hop this, but may do so in the primary vessel.
In the future I'd advise WLP644 Brett B Trois for 100% Brett fermentations. It'll be interesting to see what you'll get from NB that's supposed to be pasteurized. Perhaps champagne or some other bottle conditioning yeast?
The starter feom the "brettbeer" looked pretty "classic brett" with a giant pellicule forming overnight when crashing. I dont think it was champagne or sacc. The taste of the starter was pretty funky. Either the dont pasturize anymore or their brett is an amazing soldier.

UPDATED: Friday, September 28, 2012 - 11:14am
Longview, TX — A decision "to go in another direction" is behind Good Shepherd Medical Center's sudden dismissal of Ed Banos, who had been president and chief executive officer since 2008.
Banos was ousted late Wednesday in what he said was a surprise move by the hospital's board of directors.
"Anytime a person gets terminated, I think they're shocked," Banos said Thursday. "I'm shocked."
Executive Vice President Ken Cunningham was named interim CEO to guide the hospital while the board begins a nationwide search for a replacement.
"Ed's done a great job, but the board decided to go in another direction," Cunningham said. He declined to say what that direction might be or much else about the board's action.

Gastown's Burgundy restaurant offers casual French favourites
Walking into Burgundy restaurant (47 West Hastings Street) is a little bit like stepping into a time machine. The dimly lit Gastown eatery clearly takes inspiration from the 1920s, with slightly gothic décor and heavy velvet curtains that block out sunlight giving the room a cosy speakeasy vibe.
Erica Kosciuk and Lisa Skelton opened Burgundy opened in fall 2013. Best friends for over a decade, Kosciuk and Skelton met while working at a Boathouse restaurant in 2000. In 2009, Skelton opened Main Street's popular Wallflower Modern Diner, and the friends reconnected to launch Burgundy four years later.
Kosciuk manages front-of-house and Skelton does a little bit of everything at the restaurant, including cooking in the kitchen with new chef Stewart Ehrecke. The menu is French-inspired, with classic dishes such as tuna Niçoise salad, beef bourguignon, and coq au vin included in the offerings.
Similar to the Wallflower, where there are plenty of gluten-free options on the menu, Burgundy is a good option for diners with dietary requirements. Here, crab cakes are made with quinoa rather than the usual breadcrumbs and dressed with sundried tomatoes, chili oil, pea shoots and an aioli. Eggplant parmesan served with polenta cakes, tomato sauce, and spinach makes for a hearty vegetarian meal.
At a recent media dinner, I had a chance to sample a few of the dishes at Burgundy. The goat cheese fondue, which arrived in a warm mason jar, was expectedly satisfying. Served with slices of fresh baguette and green apples for dipping, as well as a handful of raspberries for sweet contrast, the appetizer is ideal for sharing.
Of the mains (all of which are priced under $20), the scallops and Dungeness crab stood out. Three seared scallops sit on a salad of arugala, pea shoots, cherry tomatoes, and crab, served with buttery scalloped potatoes that were so delicious that I only wish there was more. The pork tenderloin stuffed with cherries and thyme are drizzled with a dark-cherry jus and accompanied by carrots, green beans, and nugget potatoes.
Burgundy offers lunch Tuesdays to Fridays and weekend brunch. For diners who enjoy the variety of eggs Benedict dishes at the Wallflower, Skelton has added even more options to the brunch menu at Burgundy. The vegetarian-friendly spinach Benny is topped with goat cheese and a sweet tomato chutney, and the gluten-free crab-cake Benny utilizes the restaurant's quinoa-crab cakes and places them with slices of avocado on gluten-free English muffins.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
The first memory I have of the movie Jaws involves my sixth-grade classmate Chris Conner. Chris was one of the funniest kids I knew back then in the mid-1970s. He had a splatter of pale freckles worthy of Jackson Pollock, a haircut always just this side of �bad,� and a way of looking at life sideways that always made me laugh out loud. One time, though, he made me green with envy. That was when he told me in fourth-period gym class that his mother was letting him go see Jaws that weekend at the Teton Theater�the only movie house in Jackson, Wyoming at the time. I could have run a harpoon through his heart. ______________________________________________ [cue the scary music] ba-DUMP�ba-DUMP�baDUMPbaDUMPbaDUMP �We�re gonna need a bigger epinion!� This review is being written as part of a leviathan-sized write-off. More than 20 hardy souls have climbed aboard this event for a brief sail on the S.S. Spielberg. When you�re through here, please swim over to their reviews of Jaws by following the links at the bottom of this page, or by going to their member profiles. The participants are: ZentropaJK; Psychovant; Shadow8; Lighthouse; Amyrok; That-Guy; Megasoul; Knix; Tatooedjedi; FDKnight; Lambira; Wokelstein; Donlee_Brussel; Fiatgirl; Verbal; Janesbit1; Sleestak; Energy81; Memento-Mori; RFR; Mangiotto; Squeebinator X; Caconti; MattJoe; JAPrufrock; Drlolipop; Mike_Bracken �Okay, everybody back in the water!� ____________________________________________________ I looked at Chris Conner like he�d said he had the keys to a Rolls-Royce parked outside at the curb. �Your Mom�s actually letting you go see Jaws?!� Chris grinned at me sideways. �Mmm-hmm.� �Jeez! My parents wouldn�t even let me look at the poster, let alone go see the thing.� �It�s supposed to have a naked girl in it.� I gave Chris a green-eyed look. �Don�t remind me.� Chris laughed. �Sucker! Hey, I hear there�s a pretty good show on The Wonderful World of Disney this Sunday. Maybe they�ll let you watch that.� He laughed some more, then bent over and made his arm look like a dorsal fin. He ran around gym class acting like a dork for a while until we all started giggling. But, man, I wanted to kill him, best friend or no best friend. This was a couple of years before the official start of my life-long passion for movies (June 14, 1977 at 7:02 p.m. was the exact moment this phase of my life began�that�s when the words �A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away�� scrolled across the screen). Even so, I�d heard so much about this movie and, for God�s sake, I�d already read the book (which, unlike the movie, includes a couple of sex scenes). So, what, I asked my parents, could possibly be a good reason for not letting me go see this movie? They were frightened by the film�s rating. Long before the envelope-pushing PG-13 came along, Jaws, with its nekkid girl and severed body parts, also stretched the limits of the PG rating. So much so that the MPAA added the following words to the rating box on the posters: �May be too intense for younger children.� According to my parents, I was still a �younger children.� I sat home that Sunday night, watching The Wonderful World of Disney, sulking in my living room and planning trips to Florida where I would sit around on my beach towel and encourage my mother and father to go out swimming. �Sure, go on out there, guys. I hear the water�s just fine this time of year. Yeah, splash around all you want, have a good time.� And so, Chris Conner got to see Jaws while I watched a rerun of The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes. When I asked him about it on Monday morning, Chris just shrugged nonchalantly and said, �Yeah, it was pretty scary.� Pretty scary. PRETTY SCARY??!!! I just watched Jaws for the fourth time last night and�even though I knew that nekkid girl Chrissie would wind up in a Tupperware container, even though I knew that the fisherman�s head would pop out of the jagged hole in the side of the boat, even though I knew the shark would make that incredibly perfect appearance while Chief Brody was chumming over the side of the Orca�even though I knew all those goosebump moments were coming, I still had a hard time hearing the movie over that loud ba-DUMP sound my heart was making. As the first movie from the Steven Spielberg archive to be released on DVD, Jaws�25th Anniversary Collector�s Edition is crisp, beautiful, packed with extras and revives every phobia about water our nation has been struggling to overcome ever since Janet Leigh took a shower in Psycho. The DVD�s extras include a �making-of� featurette with home movies and interviews with the wunderkind himself, plus producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown, author Peter Benchley, composer John Williams, the girl who played Chrissie (Susan Backlinie) and even the husband-and-wife team who shot real-life shark footage. There�s terrific anecdotes from Spielberg like this one, talking about the first time someone showed him the manuscript for the as-yet-unpublished book: �I saw a block of pages with the word �Jaws� on it. I had no idea what it meant. �Jaws�? Was it about a dentist?� There�s also an all-too-brief outtakes feature where we see Scheider trying to fire an obstinate pistol. And, the real treat, several deleted scenes which never made the cut of the final film. The most priceless gem is when Quint (Robert Shaw) goes to a music store to ask for piano wire. He�s interrupted a music lesson and, while the owner goes into the back room, the clarinet student continues to play Beethoven�s 9th Symphony and Quint starts singing along behind him. In fact, the DVD�s so good, I even gained an appreciation for the tepid acting of Lorraine Gary (who plays Ellen Brody). I actually started to think she delivered a multi-layered performance. But the real star of the movie is, of course, Spielberg�s wunderkind talent. In this, his second theatrical feature, his creative muscles really start to stretch. Much of the flashy, directorial flair on display in these two hours of water-logged suspense now seems run-of-the-mill (the head popping out of the boat�s hole, the killer�s point-of-view shots, the hero raving about monsters in the face of unflappable ignorance from authorities), but Spielberg used this flash-and-bang style to create something that none of us would ever forget. Those who were lucky enough to see it in that Summer of 1975, that is. By the time I finally got to experience Jaws, it was on a TV set in a motel room about ten years later (when it was no longer too intense for this �younger child�). To be honest, I didn�t think it was all that scary. Maybe it was the decade-long buildup, maybe I was tired, maybe I just didn�t like Lorraine Gary�s tepid performance�whatever the reason, I was a bit disappointed. But then I went back in the water after another couple of years and this time, I was practically curled up in a ball, fingers splayed over my eyes. That�s how unnerved I was by this movie. I felt much the same way on the second go-round of The Sixth Sense. By now, the story is a familiar one: chomped-up bodies start washing up on shore around Amity, the white-picket-fence town on Martha�s Vineyard. The police chief, Brody (Roy Scheider), thinks it�s a shark. The mayor (Murray Hamilton) is a real buffoon and doesn�t believe him�mainly because they can�t afford to close the beaches during the 4th of July weekend. (By the way, the mayor�s greatest crime is not his refusal to close the beaches but his taste for garish suits.) The shark�s still hungry. More people die. There�s lots of splashing and screaming. Brody calls in a shark expert named Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) to do things like cut open shark stomachs, swallow the bile in his throat when he takes a look at that first victim stored in a Tupperware container and, eventually, get in wild-eyed shouting matches with the mayor. Brody and Hooper eventually hire on as second and third mates on the Orca, the fishing vessel owned by local salt Quint (Robert Shaw). As the three set out to sea, it�s obvious that Quint�s a modern Ahab in search of the Great White Shark, rather than the Great White Whale. This third act has always been the part that bogs down for me as the tone of the movie switches from nerve-jangling beach scenes to the drawn-out fishing trip. While I like the chemistry between the three actors, the brisk pace definitely takes on some water here and, save for that brilliant shot during the chumming sequence, nearly sinks the movie. Another problem with the last third of the film is the fact that the shark (nicknamed �Bruce� after the director�s lawyer) starts making more appearances. Bruce, of course, is a legendary special effects flop. As Spielberg himself notes, the film was �made under the worst conditions,� which included a pending Screen Actors Guild strike, script problems and a mechanical shark which broke down soon after it hit salt water. To compensate for many planned appearances in the movie�s early scenes, Spielberg did something that made all the difference: he used his imagination to find ways to indicate the shark without actually showing the shark. That�s why we get this unbeatable opening: (Chrissie out for a midnight swim; she stops to tread water; the POV shot approaching her legs; the sudden downward jerk, the head-snap, the shivering moan; the gurgling, bubbling confusion; the �omigod this isn�t happening to me� terror; the way she�s churned around through the water like some shrieking spoon stirring a bloodied pot; the desperate clinging to the buoy; the final snatch underwater; and then�Spielberg�s great coda�the terrifying silence of a calm sea, broken only by the faint clang of the buoy bell.) In other places, Spielberg compensated for the non-operational shark by using things floating on the surface�harpoon barrels and, once, an entire fishing dock�to show the terror underneath. When Bruce does start to get more screen time, rising up out of the water like a rubber Moby Dick, the results are almost laughably fake. Me? I�d much prefer the frisson of the half-seen, the lurking unknown. Take, for instance, what I think is the single most chilling shot of the entire movie. It�s the beach scene where all the tourists are frolicking in the waves. We, along with Brody, know the shark is pacing just off shore and we�re both on the edge of our seat, braced for the inevitable tragedy. A young boy runs up and asks his mother if he can go out on his raft. In one of those telling Spielbergian moments (the ones that speak volumes about childhood experience by way of sharply-focused details), she looks at her son�s hands and says, �You�re pruning up already!� She allows him to paddle out in his rubber raft and goes back to her summer beach novel. Spielberg then gives us a series of quick cuts, swimmers shrieking with laughter and splashing each other, most of them shot at water level. The boy paddles out just beyond the crowd of swimmers. There�s a shark POV shot, along with John Williams� theme music [brief digression: it is impossible to imagine this movie without that too-often-parodied score. Those low, thumping notes on a bass and the muted trill of a French horn are as inseparable from Jaws as Bernard Hermann�s violins are from Psycho.] Back to Brody on the crowded beach, scanning the water for the slightest ripple. The boy on the raft. The view from underneath of his legs. Brody. Laughing swimmers. Then a long shot of the raft. We get a glimpse of something BIG, the raft folds in half and there�s a fountain of blood. The entire shot is less than ten seconds in length and it always makes shiver, like I�ve got ice water running in my veins. Then it�s back to Brody on his beach chair for another incredible shot: he thinks he�s seen the Terrible Thing out on the water. As his face registers shock, Spielberg delivers a flashy shot where Scheider appears to come at the camera while the camera moves forward and the background moves away. It was a complicated setup involving a tracking system, Scheider on a sled and some incredibly deft focusing by cameraman Bill Butler. If I�m not mistaken, I�m pretty sure Alfred Hitchcock also used this technique in one of his movies; but Spielberg makes it an effectively chilling moment by bringing it right on the heels of that silent shark massacre. Now that I think about it, my parents did the right thing back in 1975. Jaws would have probably scared me so much that I peed in my popcorn. Imagine my shame when I tried to walk out of the Teton Theater with a wet lap. I�d have never been able to look Chris Conner in the eye again.

Her latest single, "Broken Record," isn't the best track from her upcoming album Nocturnes (due out May 6) that she's released yet — that would be the lushly stirring "Motorway" — but it's still a pretty damn good song, dignified dance-pop with a hook that's sneakily infectious.
The video, which sees Boots performing at a roller disco with showers of confetti, all shot in a red-hued haze, serves as a more-than-adequate visual accompaniment to the song.
Watch it up top.

battered woman syndrome
nounDefinition of BATTERED WOMAN SYNDROME
First Known Use of BATTERED WOMAN SYNDROME
battered wom·an syndrome
noun \-ˈwu̇-mən-, -ˈwō-, -ˈwə-\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of BATTERED WOMAN SYNDROME
Variants of BATTERED WOMAN SYNDROME
battered woman syndrome
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Psychological and behavioral pattern displayed by female victims of domestic violence. Explanations that have evolved since the late 1970s include learned helplessness, a cycle of violence theory, and a form of post-traumatic stress disorder. The term is a legal concept rather than a psychiatric diagnosis and lacks clearly defined criteria. It has been used to support legal arguments of self-defense, diminished responsibility, or insanity when a woman is accused of murdering or assaulting her batterer, committing a crime under his coercion, or provoking the behaviour the batterer is on trial for. Critics say the term creates a stereotyped image inadequate to describe individual experiences.

GONZALES – Governor Bobby Jindal awarded 204 veterans from Ascension Parish with the Louisiana Veterans' Honor Medal at the Gonzales Civic Center in Gonzales. Governor Jindal was joined by Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs (LDVA) Secretary Lane Carson and Major General Bennett C. Landreneau, Adjutant General of the Louisiana National Guard, to award the state's veterans with a special medal in honor of their service in the Armed Forces.
Governor Bobby Jindal said, "We have a duty to honor and thank our veterans every single day for the sacrifices they made on our behalf – and these honor medals serve as symbol of our deep appreciation for their courageous service."
Governor Jindal signed legislation in 2008 to create the Veterans' Honor Medal Program in order to recognize and honor all of Louisiana's veterans. The program is managed by the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs. The Veterans' Honor Medal is gold-plated and comes with a blue ribbon. One side shows the state of Louisiana with "United States" embossed above and "Armed Forces" below.
The other side bears the words, "Louisiana appreciates your service to our country." Veterans who sustained a wound in battle will receive an honor medal designated by a silver star and a purple ribbon. Families of veterans who were killed in action will receive an honor medal designated by a gold star and a gold ribbon.
While awarding the medals, Governor Jindal told stories of medal recipients to highlight the heroic acts of Louisiana's veterans. Jesse Eugene Carlisle was born in McComb, Mississippi on Christmas Day in 1923. After high school, Carlisle worked as a welder in a shipyard in Mobile, Alabama.
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, his brother joined the military – and Carlisle joined up shortly thereafter because he wanted to defend his country and follow in his brother's footsteps.
By 1943, Carlisle was sent into combat in France in World War Two. His specialty was programming and repairing military communication devices. On one particular day, communication lines were damaged in the midst of battle with German forces.
Under constant fire, Carlisle located and repaired all breaks in the lines and restored communication to fellow U.S. troops. With bullets firing over head, he literally crawled back to his men after repairing the lines, but was hit by shrapnel.
After Carlisle risked his life, communication lines were intact and U.S. troops were able to push the Germans out of their territory. For his courageous actions, Carlisle received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star.
He served until the end of World War Two, going on to also earn a Silver Star, two Oak Leaf Clusters, and another Purple Heart for enduring frostbite and other injuries while on a mission in freezing conditions along the French and German border.
Upon honorable discharge from the service, Carlisle went back to McComb, Mississippi. He got a job as a taxi driver and married his wife Virginia. He and Virginia had four daughters.
Carlisle decided that he needed to find a better-paying job to support his young family so he moved to Baton Rouge where he took a job with a welding company and was a welder there for over 25 years. Carlisle passed away a few days after his 81st birthday in December 2004. His oldest daughter Ginny Oginbene accepted a medal on her father's behalf.

If jobs in the private sector are being created in the kinds of numbers the Government tell us, why is there such a scramble for low-paid, low-level jobs in the public sector?
That's a question posed today by noted Irish economist, Dr Dr. Constantin Gurdgiev in the True Economics blog.
He points out that jobs stats and claims have puzzled many in recent months.
"Government claimed variable numbers at different points in time, ranging between jobs created at 61,000 to 67,000 and so on. Much analysis has been provided of these claims and other numbers on this blog and many other, often divergent, often close-enough and so forth. All, however, points to the fact that jobs are being added in the economy and that at least some of the declines in unemployment rate are down to new positions being posted and filled," he writes.
But, he says, this raises a hugely surprising question. If private sectors jobs are being created, why is there such a huge surplus of unemployed applying for jobs in the private sector?"
He notes that the public sector jobs being rushed-at are not at the top or even the middle of pay and perks distribution. These are roughly E11 and hour jobs, at the bottom of the career ladder and the recruits face the prospect of higher taxes, lower non-wage benefits, increased workloads (compared to the incumbents and past employees), and prospect of slower career progressions.
"One answer is that for all the changes in employment stats we had over the recent months, we still have huge levels of unemployment and underemployment as the legacy of the crisis. On underemployment side, take the percentages of workers in working less than full-time hours as a share of total employment pool. In Q1 2008, 7.5pc of all workers in employment worked less than 20 hours/week, in Q1 2014 the percentage was 8.1pc. Over the same period of time, pc of workers working 20-29 hours per week rose from 10.9pc to 12.8pc, percentage working 30-34 hours per week rose from 4.3pc to 4.5pc. Percentage of workers working more than 35 hours per week dropped from 66.4pc to 61.9pc. Counting in those working less than full-time hours and those on variable hours, 38.1pc of our employment pool are not in full-time employment against 33.6pc back in Q1 2008."
In Q1 2008, there were 113,600 individuals who considered themselves underemployed, in Q1 2014 the number was 258,100. And there are 46,500 more people who are working part-time and consider themselves underemployed today compared to Q3 2008 (earliest we have data for), while numbers of working-age adults not in the labour-force are still up 121,300 on Q1 2008.
"And in the core age categories, applying for these jobs, the percentage of 15-24 year old unemployed relative to total population of that age group was 9.58pc in Q1 2008. This stood at 25.31pc in Q1 2014," Dr Gurdgiev wrote.
"In other words, it is easy to forget that things are still very ugly when it comes to employment situation in Ireland."

I took my new DM type AR to the range today. My upper is a BCM 18" upper with a 410 stainless barrel. I got my good ammo ready and went to the range and...
OH my goodness! Does she shoot nice!
I shot the smallest 100 yd three shot group of my life today with Federal Gold Medal match 69gr Sierra bthp. I shot a bunch of other ammo today and all of my groups were under an inch. For the day the rifle and I averaged about .6 inch groups. Pretty darn good I'd say. Needless to say I'm pretty happy with my new rifle. : )
Here is a pic of my best group. It has two holes almost exactly in one and the third is touching. .163 inches.
Here is a pic of the new girl.

Al Saket said in the opening speech, "Through the previous decades, we managed and lead a shift in public sector enterprises from concepts, tasks, and executive strategies to adopting the concept of measurable strategies for various sectors and enterprises, to even development and strategic planning according to proven, measured methodologies."
H.E. added, "Jordan has developed greatly in these regards, but we are at a stage where we need a comprehensive reassessment, to be able to re-identify and re-structure organizational architecture, which is what the public sector re-structuring program was aiming at, which is what the government had conceded a few days ago."
With participants from the GCC and North Africa, the conference aims at introducing enterprises to methodologies of structuring measurable strategies that can be translated to action, using proper Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to serve organizations various needs.
In his comment, Nidal Bitar, CEO of SCOPI, said, "This even is a real opportunity for participants from various sectors, to identify the professional criteria and international standards for building practical strategies that can keep up with organizational tasks and directions on one hand, meeting its current need and future expectations on the other."
Bitar added, "A host of international consultants' discussions panels enriched the conference agenda. Jeoen De Flander, a seasoned international strategy execution expert and Dr. Rachad Baroudi, a leading international consultant in organizational development, strategic planning, and performance management, discussed various axis and issues during the conference."
De Flander exhibited the techniques for freeing strategic thoughts out of presentations and translating them into measurable, practical programs, illustrating the gap that could hinder their development. On the other hand, Dr. Rachad brought forth and discussed the tools and operations necessary to establish the relevant KPIs to each enterprise.
On his part, SCOPI Chief Consulting and Development Officer, Dr. Bashar Sarayreh said, "We value Jeoen De Flander and Dr. Rachad Baroudi's participation in the conference that is considered the first of its kind in the region. It came in line to the current, accelerating needs for various organizations in the public and private sectors, to re-evaluate the methodologies, strategies, tools, and their measurement indicators."
He added, "We value participants from the various economic, financial, industrial, and technology sectors, and their keenness on developing their business module. Lest we forget, I offer my sincere appreciation for the supporting and sponsoring organizations, chiefly Union Bank, Arab Orient Insurance Company, Arabia for Corporate Social Responsibility and Communications, and Jordan News Agency, Petra the official media sponsor, amongst others."

DId anybody see that X-Files episode where this hillbilly family was imbreeding. The sons were doing their mother, who had no legs and was kept under the bed.They were all badly deformed. *Pukes*
Yes, it's against nature but when it comes to sister/brother it's wrong.
Love hurts...trust me I know, I really do...
DId anybody see that X-Files episode where this hillbilly family was imbreeding. The sons were doing their mother, who had no legs and was kept under the bed.They were all badly deformed. *Pukes*
Whoa, that's horrifying - such a extreme example, Miroku-sami. That's why, people should just love one another and never seek lust such as that S-word.
I think its wrong soOo wrong!
I did see that episode too >.>
There are lots of people out there, enough for everyone to love! Don't just stick with your family!
Incest is wrong!
TY Sasurai for the lovely sig!*
I don't think you should use episodes of the "X-Files" as backing for arguments. :|
it's just wrong and really creepy and i think that if you love someone that you should be with them but you shoudn't be in love with your sibling or ANYONE in your family in the first place. There are billions of people on our planet so i think you can find someone better than you sibling
jesus christ thats gross. dont you realize if you two have a kid, then the kid will be messed up because both of your DNA is too close, the genes get all messed up
I'll have you know that your post is borderline flaming.
I would like to point out that I've noticed a certain lack of tolerance in this thread as a whole. You're free to express your own opinion but you're not free to put someone down because they share a different one.
Not to mention we're not really talking about siblings, more distant relatives seems to have been the course that this thread has been taking thusfar.
And for God's sake get the facts straight people, the increase in risk of genetic disorders when dealing with relations between blood relatives who are not members of your immediate family is not anywhere near as large as what rumors, movies, and urban legends will try and say.

In a recent article from Billboard, Skrillex revealed that he was working on sound design for the next Transformers movie, making "the craziest Skrillex sounds I could ever make." While they don't go too deep into what he's done, I do know that Skrillex actually worked with Moody Good on that sound design. It looks like it will be in the fourth installment of the Transfomers series, Transformers: Age of Extinction, which is due out on June 27. Don't expect new Skrillex music from this work, though, as Skrillex really just wanted to focus on insane sounds.
You should expect to hear a lot of new Skrillex material before year's end, though, as he is "going to sprinkle in some singles and mini-EPs throughout the year." Late last week, both Dillon Francis and Feed Me tweeted about collabs with Skrillex they were working on as well:
Oh shit @Skrillex and I are remixing @elliphantmusic's song "younger" backstage right now! Gonna play this and our other new one tonight
— DILLON FRANCIS (@DILLONFRANCIS) May 29, 2014
Today = finishing the @Skrillex collab. Forgot how good this was sounding, can't wait to get this done. Vibes.

UK smartphone users ditching calls for texts
by Dale WrightHow do you use your phone? Most of our mobile contracts come bundled with thousands of minutes and texts – but do you ever use them?
According to Ofcom, we're now more likely to text someone rather than call them.
In a recent survey, 58% of respondents said they sent at least one text a day. In fact, we sent a massive 150 billion text messages over the course of 2011.
Only 47% of people now say they make a daily phone call, and the amount of time people spend on their mobile phone fell from 125 billion minutes to 124 billion minutes from 2010 to 2011.
Landline usage dropped 10%, a really significant number. It looks like we're all well on the way to using our smartphones for all our communication needs.
As usual, young people are leading the way. A massive 96% of 16-24 year olds texted on a daily basis last year.
Ofcom conclude that smartphones are changing the way we communicate, making texting easier than ever. Analysts also say that UK networks have been smart in pricing texts so low and encouraging us not to switch to free messaging apps. On average, people in the UK send 50 texts a week, meaning we're all paying for texts on our contracts that some of us never come close to using, but networks are bundling these in – perhaps in a bid to make themselves look generous.
The amount of people with a new iPad or other tablet computer has also shot up this year, and with the Google Nexus 7 on sale today, it's likely this will increase even further as the year goes on. At the beginning of 2011, only 2% of UK households owned a tablet. This has already risen to 11%. More consumers are looking for bargains when shopping for tablet PCs; if an iPad Mini or Kindle Fire were launched in the UK, we could see tablets becoming part of the furniture.
Have you ditched the landline? Will you be picking up a cheap tablet to watch the Olympics this year? Let us know!

The Baseball Writers Association of America released the 2011 Hall of Fame ballot this week, a list of eligible players that includes some likely Hall of Famers, some guys still waiting their turn and some guys who'll get the Vince McMahon Entrance Music Award as they've got "No chance … "
While we have to wait until Jan. 5 to see who was picked on 75 percent of all ballots, here's my rundown — with an emphasis on the player's place in cardboard.
Of this year's new crop, I have several I'd vote for but I don't see too many getting in. I'd vote for the likes of Fred McGriff, Larry Walker, Jeff Bagwell and Barry Larkin while marveling at those who cast their votes for the likes of Mark McGwire and first-timer Rafael Palmeiro.
See my full rundown after the jump.

You've probably seen a few Michael Jordan game-used jerseys through the years, but this one's out of this world.
Forget Jordan's Chicago Bulls threads — or his somewhat-forgettable-anyway Washington Wizards gear — this one has to be one of the rarer Jordan jerseys around. It's a jersey that was prepped for his use in the 1996 movie, Space Jam, where His Airness co-starred with Bugs Bunny.
Think what you want about the Warner Bros. film, but it made $90.4 million at the box office after it was released in late 1996. And for all those kids out there that undoubtedly saw the movie — and their parents, of course — the jersey might be an interesting piece of basketball, film or MJ history for them.
After all, many of those 1996 kiddos and pre-teens are likely in their 20s now — and they have spending power, right?

Fortifying its late-January release with proven icemen like Pavel Bure and Steve Yzerman, In The Game claims that 2010-11 Heroes and Prospects "…could be the best…ever!" AHL, CHL and International contenders bolster the checklist with the prospect of stardom in this pairing of hopeful and established hockey heroes.
Doing what they do best, ITG officials bring the game to the collector with spectacular game-used memorabilia cards from the Top Prospects Game, the Subway Series and other on-the-rink action. These, along with National Pride, Net Prospects, Prospect Trios, Quad Patch, Complete Jersey inserts justify the chase. The memorabilia-focused manufacturer even sweetens the deal with autographed versions of some of its game-used inserts. Read More »

We all know that Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees are millions of dollars apart in their contract negotiations, but few of us can truly comprehend what that means.
After all, just one million would keep more than a few of us occupied — even that Dr. Evil guy, who we hear is an avid reader.
But how can we show casual sports fans just how far apart the negotiations are between the 27-time World Series champs and their captain who is now a free agent?
Easy. Some other numbers — some stats we might be able to comprehend. Here's how you might be able to spend $15 million … the amount that Jeter was reportedly offered by the Yankees but wasn't good enough:
— A million copies of Jeter's 1993 Topps Rookie Card. Given that it was 1993, there are surely a million copies out there … they really let the presses roll back then.
— 1,153 game-used Jeter jerseys from Steiner Sports — if he somehow has that many more games to play.

Press Pass' foray into the ultra high-end trading card realm has some gems of racing memorabilia, but that's not all the company is packing into its $500 and up boxes.
Some packs of Press Pass Five Star will include instant win memorabilia cards redeemable for items that even the most casual of NASCAR fans will recognize as kind of a big deal. (Apologies to Ron Burgundy.)
For example, how about a Dale Earnhardt race-used and signed helmet? It dates from the mid-1990s as it features a sticker on the back noting The Intimidator's 1993 Winston Cup title.

Topps created its annual rookie All-Star team in 1959. Since then 17 future Hall-of-Famers have been named to the team with players such as Willie McCovey, Joe Morgan and Cal Ripken Jr.
The company released this year's edition with catcher Buster Posey and pitcher Stephen Strasburg highlighting the list.
The award is given to one player for each field position in addition to a right-handed pitcher, a left-handed pitcher and a reliever regardless of league.

With only six cards in the Beckett database, the late Leslie Nielsen never hit the hobby as hard as he struck the universal funny bone. Taking hyperbolic leaps in humor, the frequently absurd actor died on Sunday, leaving a legacy of comedic characters and cult classics.

Panini America really took advantage of the 2010 NFL Rookies Premiere in May. With all the rookies in one spot, officials from the company got on-card autographs for some of its sets.
One of these includes the 2010 National Treasure Football Pen Pal Autographs subset.
2010 National Treasures is Panini's final and most expensive product of the year and it looks like they aren't holding anything back. Besides on-card autographs, which we all love, the product also features the rookies in their NFL helmet.
Last year's set only had the guys in their college uniform.
Pen Pal Autographs offer so many different combinations of rookies, you're bound to find your favorite grouped together. Pen Pal Autographs will come with two to eight signatures on the card.
The set it is scheduled to be released in early March with a $400 price tag.
See a gallery of Pen Pal Autographs inside.

The NBA season is in full swing and all eyes have been on rookies John Wall and Blake Griffin. These two will likely go to the wire when it comes to the Rookie of the Year vote, but the cardboard world doesn't just revolve around these two guys when it comes to NBA rookies.
You may have been caught up in the dazzling moves of Wall or the strong-arm play of Griffin, but here are three rookies who also deserve your attention.

Earlier this week, Upper Deck announced it was moving forward with 2010-11 SP Authentic Basketball with big news that every 12-box case will include autographs from one of a couple of pretty big names.
It's a college- and high school-themed set under the Collegiate Licensing Company.
Each box will have two SP By the Letter Autographs or one By the Letter Autograph and an additional autograph OR a Michael Jordan North Carolina Supreme Court floor card.
Upper Deck released images of the set with some of the biggest stars, including the Jordon Supreme Court card. The Supreme Court card is a 1.5''x2'' piece of the floor that Jordan played on while at North Carolina.

The biggest drama in the baseball world these days is tailor-made for the major media outlets to chew on as it revolves around the most successful franchise in all of American sports, the 27-time champion New York Yankees, and its most-heralded modern-day player and career hits leader, Derek Jeter.
There really might not be a surer thing in today's sports card world than Jeter, the icon of all icons in the country's biggest media market, a player who gets a lot of the attention — and a lot of the credit for his team's success — even if his batting average drops 64 points in a season.
And that's precisely what has happened — both in the credit over the years and his fall in performance this past year. And that's precisely why there's a chance he might not be a Yankee next season, when he'll likely become just the 28th member of the hallowed 3,000-hit club.
The dreams of many a memorabilia dealer might be dashed if that milestone is reached in anything other than Yankees pinstripes. After all, for all of the Yankees' most-historic names – Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and so on — none of them ever reached 3,000.
When, or if, Jeter hits 3,000 in Yankee Stadium? It will be one of those moments (you know, one without home runs and allegations later) that Major League Baseball has needed for some time, one of those moments that could carry some serious interest in cardboard and memorabilia.
Could all the oomph that Jeter carries among baseball fans — and particularly collectors — fade if he ends up elsewhere? Does he become Public Enemy No. 1 in New York if he were to somehow end up at shortstop for, say, the Boston Red Sox?
There are a lot of "what-ifs" with the Jeter case … one where he has an offer of $15 million a year for three years reportedly on the table from the Yanks (not good enough) and also one where he's been told to shop his talents around MLB. After all, you can't blame a guy for not wanting a pay cut, right?
Can you see Jeter in anything other than a Yankees uniform? It might be tough — but it's not tough here as the curiosity got the best of me.
You can see for yourself — after the jump.

Thanks to great Beckett.com users like sweetmfnlou22, ripkenfan72, jfrench91, P18mann and orange1fan322 (to name a few), the 2010 hand turkey tribute is filling up with cards that bring personal joy and collecting happiness. Before or after the tryptophan sets in tomorrow, we'd still love to see which four cards you are most thankful for. The Beckett.com Football thread, in particular is loaded with gratitude–which is what this hobby and this coming holiday is all about.
We, at Beckett are thankful for you, your passion and your dedication to collecting. Without you, we'd just be a handful of folks, just sitting around and talking about cards–which, as we all know–isn't far from reality. Fueled by your fervor for the hobby though, we are thrilled to facilitate discussion, provide data and push the collecting envelope.
From the heart of the hobby, we thank you for being the heartbeat.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Today, I woke up to texts about Derek Jeter, tweets about Derek Jeter and emails about Derek Jeter.
Everyone wants to know what is happening with the (former) New York Yankees shortstop. But they mostly want to know how I feel about the idea of Jeter running off and signing with another club.
I'm a Jeter fan and collector with more than 1,500 unique Jeter cards. I have every Rookie Card, 49 memorabilia cards and six autographs (they're not cheap). I thought he was always going to be a Yankee.
However, there is a small possibility this may not happen.
Talks between the Yankees and Jeter have gone little public and there are plenty of pundits talking about the possibility Jeter will sign with another team.
I cringed even as I wrote that.

In the interest of giving gratitude this week, I pulled four cards from my personal collection and gave them a hand turkey tribute. As a card-carrying Texas Ex, I can't help but highlight players who have donned the burnt orange. Even though Vince Young and Cedric Benson have had their woes as pros, I am nonetheless thankful to have a few of their cards in my Longhorn shrine. If nothing else, our shared school colors are appropriately autumnal.
Below, you'll find four cards for which I am very grateful. Since every collector has a few personal favorites, we're interested in finding out which four cards land on your hand turkey finger feathers.
2007 Topps Draft Picks and Prospects Class of 2006 Unsigned #170 Vince Young
Although this isn't the fanciest VY card in my personal collection, it earned a spot in the shadowbox because of its relative simplicity and nostalgic qualities. Despite the recent drama surrounding his career, I am still (and always will be) thankful for his epic national championship performance.
2006 Playoff National Treasures Helmets #9 Earl Campbell/9
Featured here in his Houston Oilers uniform, the living predecessor of many great Texas running backs motivated me to splurge on a high-end product for the first time. This little piece of the legendary Longhorn's helmet is a tangible connection to school pride.

Along with the autumn leaves, 2010 Certified fell from Panini's football tree this fall.
Yesterday, we managed rake a couple of 10-pack boxes into the Box Busters studio for a foil wrapper frolicking session. Making good and even exceeding the stated odds, the $10-a-pack product yielded two Shirt Off My Back memorabilia cards (a Charles Woodson jersey and a Darren McFadden prime patch #'d to 50), a Deacon Jones Fabric of the Game, a Deji Karim New Generation Mirror autograph and a double-swatched, sticker-autographed Mike Kafka Freshman Fabric hit. As the video reveals, we also landed a three-per-case "Platinum Hot Box," which dealt a heavy hand of cards numbered to 999 or less.
Below is a 12-card sample from our pile of pulls. Please refrain from diving. Read More »

Upper Deck released a pair of statements to distributors about two forthcoming products on Monday, with one product getting the red light and the other one getting a green light for some higher-end autograph additions.
First, the company has decided to scrap its plans for a 2010 Ultimate Collection Football set, which would have been a college release under its exclusive deal with the Collegiate Licensing Company. The company cited the present state of the industry, which is crowded with many slow-moving, perhaps overproduced products at this time.

For those who are familiar with the wonders of a "full on double rainbow," this 1/1 black rainbow is bringing about similar beguilement.
In just 12 hours, this 2005-06 The Cup Black Rainbow Alexander Ovechkin 1/1 rookie card set eBay ablaze with more than 100 watchers and bids exceeding the $5,000 mark. Opening the auction at a long since gone 99 cents with no reserve price, Beckett Select Merchandise Manager Dave Sliepka explained, "This card is going crazy."
With the current bid closing in on $8,000 ($7,700) and more than 400 watchers (800 eyes, unless pirates are involved), this Ovechkin could be fetchin' five figures before auction's end on Nov. 22.

Little over a week ago, I issued the first $10 Card Shop Challenge. Now, it's your turn to vote for the winner.
You might have seen the results here and here — if not, go visit those threads and then cast your vote. We'll close the voting at 10 a.m. Central time on Monday, Nov. 29.
(Those who purchased packs NOT at retail outlets are not eligible … you have to read the rules. We let image posting slide as some had technical difficulties, though. We'll let the voters decide if there are any tall tales here … )
What will the winner get? Something that costs more than $10 …

As mentioned in a previous post, Dallas Comedy House co-founder, Clay Barton dropped by Beckett headquarters to help us open a hobby box of 2010 SPX Football. Until last week, the improviser, instructor and business owner hadn't opened a pack of cards since elementary school.
Take a look to see an admirably bearded Barton's return to the hobby and his reaction to the modern sports card.

ESPN's Roger Bennett is a writer I like, and so when he wrote a piece on a Harvard Business School "study" entitled Sir Alex Ferguson: Managing Manchester United, I did something I rarely do: paid $7 for a PDF file.
Call it buyer's remorse: the text of the report is a measly 14-pages, and is almost entirely unabashed propaganda that barely touches on the contentious ownership of the Glazers and Ferguson's role in preserving it. However, it does offer a unique window into SAFs managerial approach.
If you're a United fan, you will love it, particularly when it profiles FC Barcelona in relation to Manchester's continued dominance, and concludes "it's unclear whether they could sustain their success." If you're not, you'll take interest in SAF's managerial philosophy, which can be very roughly and haphazardly summed up as
a) Don't talk to the press about anything, whether tactics or player discipline
b) treat your players like members of a family and go out of your way to treat them professionally
c) adapt to changes in the game.
In all, SAF comes off as very, very competent, and shrewd to the nth degree. But there is evidence in the study that a legacy like his may not be repeatable, for reasons that extend well beyond the fact there is only one Sir Alex Ferguson.
For example, when Sir Alex arrived at the club, he did so at a time when there was a greater likelihood a board would give more time to a promising manager, when the financial stakes were generally lower. So his vision of building the structure of a club—with an emphasis on establishing youth players—was more tenable. Could you imagine anyone with the powers afforded to SAF, to essentially reinvent one of the most popular club's in England after several decades' worth of stagnation? Now, in the climate of rent-a-managers, you're only as valuable as your last W.
His view to press relations however is refreshing. There's no need for a club to hoist its dirty laundry for the benefit of the viewing public, or to seem "tough" to the press by publicly admonishing your employees. This is perhaps SAF's most translatable skill as manager. Simple, sound, careful professionalism. Ferguson seems to be one of the few managers who knows his players are human beings, albeit sheltered ones making millions of pounds to play football at a very delicate period of their adult lives. Most managers now are in a perpetual pantomime of looking and sounding like a manager, instead of just being a good one. Who can blame them though, when they know their backers are watching?
But his position of authority with his players comes largely on the back of his considerable success rate. It's far easier for SAF to garner loyalty from his players than a club's fifth manager in as many years, no matter the honours listed on their CV. In other words, SAF's success is in many ways self-perpetuating. The more you win, the more opportunities arise—increased authority, for one—to ensure you keep winning. Sir Alex Ferguson's gift has been in exploiting those opportunities whenever they arise, including using his legendary status to earn the respect of his young charges.
I'm not sure we needed a Harvard study to tell us that, but it's an important lesson for trigger-happy owners nonetheless. Perhaps if FFP calms the financial seas, we may see indeed see another SAF-like genius grace European football again…

Recently we had an issue with Autocad LT 2011 installation on Windows 7 . Installation went successfully, but on startup of the program EULA Window was shown up again and on entering the serial number(OR choosing the Trial mode) following Error message was shown
"pit.config is not found"
We fixed it by doing the following Registry change
Changed the value to 00000001 from 00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT 2011 - English]
How to Edit the Registry
EULA window was not shown on startup of Autocad LT anymore; hence no more pit.config error. subsequently we could activate the program normally.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by Paul_GISkit. See the answer in context.
I had the same problem with the installation op AutoCadMap3D 2011 on my pc (on my laptop, however, I had no problem at all). The solution provided worked perfect (changing the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD Map 3D 2011)! Thanks!
I had the same problem with the installation op AutoCadMap3D 2011 on my pc (on my laptop, however, I had no problem at all). The solution provided worked perfect (changing the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD Map 3D 2011)! Thanks!
It is very nice that the problem can be solved but it would be great if i could have more analytical instructions about where to go and what to change exactly. As it is obvious i have the same problem for a long time and now finally that there is a solution i cannot quite understand what i should do. Sorry for the incovenience
I have added the link on how to edit the registry.
Hi, after i follow the step that you are given it still have some error reading the file after saving to my desktop. ( cant be read inside the content that are saved to change the code . May I know what should i do now please ? thanks ! =)
I had this problem too when I installed Autocad lt 2011 on virtual windows 7 run using vmfusion on a macbook pro. I followed instructions given changeing the regestry to 00000001 and the EULA window no longer appeared. The autocad startup window came up and then just dissappeared and it will not open. Any suggestions?
Please post the adlm log
adlm.log attached
seems to be corrupt license, did you have any other Autodesk software activated on this machine ?
you could try a clean uninstall and reinstall of Autocad, if it fails, we might have to clean the license files manually
I had a trial of Autocad lt 2012 before I had the licence for the 2011. I did uninstall and reinstall 2011 before i found the solution for the pit.config problem. However, material library and design review etc. were left on the computer.

Acclaimed cartoonist Adrian Tomine (New York Drawings, Shortcomings) returns with a dazzling new issue of his two-decade-long comic book series! Optic Nerve #13 features three complete stories, each distinct in their tone and visual style. 'Go Owls' is a dark comedy about 12-step programs, drug dealing, and minor league baseball. 'Translated, from the Japanese,' illustrates the diary of a young Japanese mother, caught between two countries and hovering on the precipice of divorce. 'Winter, 2012" is an autobiographical glimpse into Tomine's home life and his ongoing struggles with the modern world. Throughout Optic Nerve #13, Tomine channels contemporary zeitgeist and vernacular to produce flawlessly designed, compellingly readable stories.
