Victoria Newhouse's Site and Sound takes us through a historical tour of performing-arts spaces, and then assesses today's versions. The interiors are frozen in time, she says, due to acoustical needs, while the exteriors have responded to architectural trends.

Architecture historian Victoria Newhouse begins her new book Site and Sound: The Architecture and Acoustics of New Opera House and Concert Halls ($50; The Monacelli Press, April 2012) with an insightful and thorough history of performance spaces, starting with the Epidaurus theater. Built in the third-century B.C. in Greece, the building type is ancient and ubiquitous, and she traces the form's descendents through opera houses and concert halls, illuminating 2,000 years of architecture history. The introductory chapter also serves as the diving board into the case studies that follow, beginning with an up-close history of the recent overhaul of New York's Lincoln Center and proceeding to halls throughout the U.S., Europe and China, concluding with projects yet on screen.
The modern opera house, specifically, still harkens back to the horseshoe theaters in 17th-century Venice, whose type persisted through Charles Garnier's spectacular Paris Opéra of 1875, itself operatic, all the way through to today. (One exception: In 1876, Wagner altered the tradition with the fan-shaped hall of his radically ascetic and democratic Festspielhaus at Bayreuth.)
Concert halls follow a parallel tradition, but in the footsteps of the acoustic shoeboxes of concert halls such as Vienna's Musikverin of 1870. After World War II, the transformative, so-called "vineyard" hall by Hans Scharoun at the Berlin Philharmonic—related to theaters in the round—added another paradigm to the small acoustic repertoire that includes the box, horsehoe, and fan.
More recently, attitudes are migrating toward a more intense, intimate, and participatory relationship between audience and performer. This has fostered greater informality, especially in smaller venues. Technology has further dimensionalized the persistently conservative form with digitally adaptable acoustics and visualizaions that add image to sound. Throughout her book, Newhouse discusses the reciprocal relationship between "composer and cathedral"—sound and space—and writes that neither should dominate at the expense of the other. Each should serve the other: "The two are inseparable," she concludes.
After writing the well-received Art and the Power of Placement (2005) and Towards a New Museum (2007), you changed subjects from architecture that houses art to architecture that houses music. Why the switch? First of all, because of the incredible number worldwide of new concert halls—with 50 new halls in China alone. And when I started to investigate, many were very different from what they had been before. The renovation of Lincoln Center, with its emphasis on glass, transparency, and a new relationship to the street, was a big impetus.
You spent four years on Site and Sound, but it could have been a lifetime given the quantity of halls worldwide. How did you contain and define your subject, and why so much emphasis on China? I figured Disney Hall, which opened in 2003, was the turning point into the present, and I had followed that project from the ground up. And China is on everybody's mind. I wasn't expecting enormous aesthetic qualities there. I was interested in the cultural, political, and professional dimension of how the halls would be used, and how they're built. Beyond the social dimensions of the Chinese buildings, I was looking primarily for quality—for buildings that had some architectural merit. And I kept to the buildings that I've visited: I never write about a building I haven't seen.
It's unusual for an architectural historian to factor acoustics into her assessments, yet you do consistently. Why? I had noticed how acoustics and architecture have been discussed separately, and one of my objectives was to try to integrate both considerations. And the study of acoustics has changed dramatically over the last decade because of new modeling software, which has changed the game and helped acoustics tremendously. Now auralizations are data driven (though the model is never foolproof). I discussed the halls with acousticians, with whom I often attended concerts.
Can you explain the frequent disparity between adventurous exteriors and conservative interiors that you cite in your book? The Oslo Opera House by Snøhetta is the famous example, with the roof you can walk on. But the inside could have been designed 300 years ago, and the acoustics are not very exciting. Every single architect with a new concert hall commission takes the first plane to the Musikverien, but I heard Esa-Pekka Salonen conduct one of his pieces there, and the sound was soggy; the brass didn't come across. There's a new opera house and concert hall in Muscat, Oman, and the symmetries and coffered ceiling are very reminiscent of the Musikverien. The clients wanted it to be traditional aesthetically, to take as little risk as possible.
How have expectations and values recently changed toward houses of music? Besides the advent of food and electronic visualizations in halls, and the occasional design for spatialized music, the buzzword now is intimacy. Opera houses are smaller, with few exceptions. People want a participatory relationship between players and the audience, which is easier to achieve, for example, with a vineyard layout. In New York, when Die Soldaten played at the Armory, the bleachers moved on rails back and forth as the program progressed. The director Peter Sellars talks about audience engagement, communal participation, and exchange in shared, vibrant spaces. Bob Wilson is doing it. They're trying to break out of the box. Greater informality is increasing intimacy.

Posted on: March 23, 2011 at 7:27AM
I have recently returned from an amazing trip to Israel and already I have booked flights to return. I must start by saying that I was overwhelmed and touched by the sincerity and friendliness of the people in Israel. They are by far the most generous and considerate people I have ever been lucky enough to meet. Whether they are of Arab, Armenian, Muslim, Catholic, Jewish or Christian decent or belief they all hold one thing in common, love. We started our journey in Haifa, one night was more than enough and I would recommend taking a trip to Akko; an ancient, port city surrounded by water. It was like taking a step back in time where the high walled alleys, underground passages and fortresses all bare the mark of many nations that has left behind a series of impressive buildings. The stunning and breathtaking panoramas of the Bahai World centre is also well worth a visit. Next we travelled to Nazareth, where we stayed in the most charming guest house that was very inexpensive and the location was perfect. The Fauzi Azar Inn is a 200 year old converted Arab mansion situated in the old city. The building has such character and warmth and the staff were unbelievably helpful. We decided to hire a car and take a trip to Tiberius, one of the most enchanting places I have ever been purely because of the tranquil, peaceful waters of the Galilean sea. We spent the majority of our time in Jerusalem. At the gates of the old city they were offering free tours which we had heard good things about. However after speaking to a couple who had experienced this particular tour we were informed that they were heavily based on souvenir shops, cafés etc where the guides would gain commission. We decided to use a Guide that was recommended to us instead, we quickly agreed a very inexpensive price for a 3 hour tour of all the sites in the area. At first the guide was serious and almost military like but it quickly became apparent that he had enormous passion and love for his city. Many of the churches and sites closed quite early but to our surprise he was able to access the keys and gain us entrance to most of these. His Armenian connections came in very useful and he seemed to know all the nuns, priests and caretakers. We were also very touched that he had many heated discussions with shop keepers, waiters and even a monk because they were trying to rip us off by putting the prices up on their merchandise. He was also very considerate and even arranged for us to be blessed in the tomb of Jesus Christ (The church of the Holy Sepulchre) and to take Holy Communion in the church where Jesus Christ sweated blood the night before his crucifixion. (One of the most special things I have ever done.) Nine hours later we were still seeing extraordinary things that were in no guide book or in no other tour... and he did not expect a penny more than we had originally agreed. Suhiel is a truly inspiring person of integrity; he is very proud of Jerusalem and loves sharing it with others. I would highly recommend that you arrange a tour with him if you can. He can be contacted by phoning 524653987. I am taking my mother to Jerusalem in May and I refuse to use anyone else but him to show us the amazing sites of this city. Bethlehem was also very moving and a must see, you will drive past the west bank, a huge wall dividing the Palestinians from the Israelis. The Refuge camps and poverty that we stumbled across was a steep contrast from the opulence and wealth we had experienced only a few miles before. The Dead Sea is a truly magnificent experience and one that can not be described The drive through the dessert where you will see camels on your left and the river Jordon to you right, amazing! Even though there are some severe conflicts in this wonderful place I have never felt such peace. Even though the threat levels are portrayed as being high I have never felt so safe and even though there is a serious divide of an enormous wall the bridge of love and a hand of kindness are never far away. I have been to many countries around the world, some have touched my heart deeply but for some reason this place has kept my heart. Please do not be put off by the exaggerations of the media, like London and New York everywhere has its problems, the only difference here is the very present soldiers, check points around every corner and extra security measures at the airport actually makes you feel very safe and they are never over bearing. Be sensible as if you were going anywhere else, this place is truly wonderful. report a problem

A Merritt society has lashed out at RCMP for what it said was high-priced police harassment of visitors to a Nicola Valley bike event last summer, adding policing costs now threaten the viability of future rallies.
Allegations from Great Canadian Bike Rally come as the society is hit by a second lawsuit for non-payment of debts, this time from the City of Merritt. Community Futures Nicola Valley filed suit last month over $45,000 in debts.
The City of Merritt filed a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court. It seeks about $75,000 for special policing, ambulance and firefighting costs accrued by rally events in Merritt in 2011 and 2012.
But Great Canadian Bike Rally, a provincially registered society, published a statement on its website alleging policing drove away potential rally visitors.
"They (rally organizers) started receiving horror stories of police harassment, road blocks - often rude or harassing - tickets being issued for very minor issues, especially on custom-built bikes and a generally negative attitude," the statement said.
"They learned later that people were leaving the rally in droves, checking out of hotels and warning others not to come."
The price tag from the City of Merritt for the treatment by RCMP was $38,000. There were also costs for firefighters and paramedics.
Mike Fairfield, one half of the father-son duo that serves as promoters and directors of the society, could not be reached Tuesday.
Sgt. Norm Flemming from Merritt RCMP, said police issued fewer than 14 tickets for Motor Vehicle Act offences or safety infractions and "arrests were minimal.
"There was a roadblock and people got stopped. Merritt's not that big of a town. If you drive uptown and back, you'll hit some roadblocks."
Flemming said he based policing numbers on estimates of 15,000 to 20,000 visitors from organizers. With indoor and outdoor venues serving booze, police had to be ready. He said the detachment logged about 200 calls for service, compared to 80 on a typically busy weekend in the small town.
According to the society's statement on its website, the Fairfields have been accused of receiving "unjust compensation and benefits" from the rally. The Fairfields deny those allegations, saying they were not paid any wages.
The Fairfields signed personal guarantees to secure some needed loans. The society said a truck and motorcycle have already been seized. Community Futures is seeking a judgment against Paul Fairfield's Merritt home for non-payment of debts, states the website.
Reached Tuesday, Merritt councillor Clara Norgaard said benefits to merchants from the July rally were overstated. She said she spent a half-hour downtown during the rally and saw little going on in return for street closures that prevented residents from doing normal business.
Norgaard said organizers forecast as many as 30,000 visitors last year. The City of Merritt estimates there were 5,000 in the end. But police were ready for the larger number.
"As soon as they realized numbers weren't there they sent police home."
The councillor and former mayor also made no apologies for enforcement by RCMP officers who remained.
"If bikes weren't legal and not equipped with proper gear, do you think the police should turn a blind eye? Maybe they were saving a few lives out there."
Rally organizers said they want to host a third event in 2013, "with a commitment to pay any reasonable prior cost over a three-year period."
But they refuse to pay the past outstanding policing costs and advised the City of Merritt to balk as well.
Norgaard said given the financial problems and lack of attendance, she's not sure about the viability of a third event.
"My personal opinion is I'd question it."

WOW! What a busy week we had here at Strathcona Park Lodge.
Written on May 3, 2013 at 8:30 am, by Scott
Campbell River Mirror, June 11, 1975
This week at Strathcona Park Lodge, three different programs have been planned for three schools, Crofton School from Crofton, Somenos School from Duncan and Gold River School, from Gold River.
The Gold River program which has been organized by grade six teacher Julia Davies, is the most ambitious undertaking which has ever been conducted at the outdoor centre.
Two weeks have been structured to allow 336 children from kindergarten to grade seven to experience a wide range of outdoor activities and to live together in a new environment. Read more
Written on September 7, 2012 at 8:30 am, by Scott
We had a fishing camp of three tent cabins at the mouth of the Gold River from 1961 until 1964. Every fish that was caught was weighed and counted by Stan Sharcott, a Fish- eries employee. We were leas- ing the land off the nearby Indian band for $300 a year. Our brochure stated at the time: The Department of Fisheries will verify our statement that this is the best place to catch Tyee Salmon (spring salmon) weighing over 30 pounds in the Pacific Northwest. Through our L odge is the only way you can fish this area. The road from Campbell River to Gold River is closed to private cars. We can have you there by boat and bus in one hour and you can return to the comforts of the L odge in the evening or stay at our tent camp to catch the very late and very early fishing. We will look after you there. Food, bedding, boat, guide and tackle are provided. After trout fishing, plan to spend two days in the West Coast/ Gold River area and catch sea run cut-throat and summer steelhead as well as Tyee. Read more

Focus on Software
Things sure do move fast on the Internet. Who can keep up? Not I, that's for sure. Since I started this column a few months ago, many of the applications I've written about have been updated. This is always nice to see. Many packages I haven't highlighted have also been updated, so if you've downloaded something and like it, you might want to check back now and then for upgrades.
Many of these packages are maintained by one or a few authors. Drop them a line, be encouraging, mention breaks and problems, and suggest improvements (don't be surprised if they aren't implemented). Let them know you use the program and appreciate their work. Programmers always welcome bug reports, particularly detailed ones that make it easy to track and fix the error (be sure you can reproduce it). If you can code, offer help.
QuickPlanning: http://devplanet.fastethernet.net/files.html#QuickPlanning
QuickPlanning cannot truly be called a planner. It is more of a "tickler" to remind you what to do or what you did on a certain date. It built easily, but could use an INSTALL file containing a hint or two about what other things should be done. The first time I ran it and tried to save an entry, it aborted with a segmentation fault. A quick strace showed that it wanted to write to the directory $HOME/.qp/ which didn't exist. You must first create this file, until such a time as the author includes code to take care of it. Also, you must verify that any date you want to use actually exists. The program was happy to let me save data for 30 Feb 1999. For a program the author hacked together in 30 minutes, it works well. Libraries required are gtk-1.1.13, libXext.so.6, libX11.so.6, libm.so.6 and glibc.
tictactoe: http://www.forged.net/~blue/
For those who actually like to play tic-tac-toe, this version can be played over a network. It is a simple SVGA game that allows two players to bore each other to death for hours. (Does anyone over the age of three ever lose this game?) It will drive mathematicians in the crowd crazy since it uses row,column notation rather than an x,y coordinate notation. Lawyers (or those who just like to read licenses) will get a kick out of the license the author wrote for this program. Libraries required are Perl 5 and IO::Socket.
gTick: http://www.bsenet.cjb.net/gtick
Are you a musician looking for a cheap metronome? Well, turn on gtick and let it tick, tick, tick away to help you keep the beat. Or, turn it on to annoy everyone else in the room—after a while, they will ask "What is that noise?" A volume control is available as well as the choice of emphasizing timing beats: none, every other, every third or every fourth beat. Libraries required are gtk-1.1.13, libXext.so.6, libX11.so.6, libm.so.6 and glibc.
ganesha: http://www.frontiernet.net/~pani/downloads.html
ganesha displays the round-trip time and number of hops of multiple input sites. I think I need to turn it loose the next time I have a 10+ MB download to do over my 56K modem. A quick run-through showed me the sites I normally would favor are more hops and longer times away than a few sites in the opposite direction. Since I am on the west coast of the U.S., Japan is closer and faster than Europe. Now, if Japan has mirrored the big programs I want, I will get them there. ganesha is definitely a work in progress, but the author has already identified the shortcomings, so you should see some changes soon. Libraries required are gtk-1.1.13, libXext-6, libX11-6, libm-6, libpthread, libnsl, libdb-2, libgdbm-1, libcrypt and glibc.
Keystone: http://www.stonekeep.com/keystone.php3
Keystone is another job-tracking application. Similar to the program MOT, it has some of the same features and a few differences. Which program is better is a matter of taste. They accomplish much the same goal, just in a different manner. I found Keystone a bit more difficult to set up than MOT, but once set up, I saw little difference. The most difficult part of any program which uses a web interface with php3 against a MySQL database is compiling the ancillary applications (Apache, PHP3 and MySQL), since each relies on the other. Libraries required are Apache with php3 and MySQL.
grpn: http://wilkins.ne.mediaone.net/grpn.html
grpn is a calculator with Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), which I haven't used in a while. Fortunately, this application has a nice help facility—it was a needed and good refresher. grpn is very nice—goodbye xcalc, it was nice knowing you. Libraries required are gtk-1.1.13, libXext.so.6, libX11.so.6, libm.so.6 and glibc.
terraform: http://www.peoplesoft.com/peoplepages/g/robert_gasch/terraform/
This is a very nice looking terraform program with the ability to show a randomly generated area in several different ways, including 2-D Plane, 3-D Wire, 3-D Height and 3-D Light. All, even the 3-D light, ran fairly fast on my slow system. You can also choose color bands, gray scale, desert and red hot—just a few of the options. It is a nicely done application. Libraries required are libgtkmm, libgdkmm, gtk+1.1.13, libXext, libX11, libstdc++-libc6, libm and glibc.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

A valid question actually. Afaik, Prussia was able to squeeze from Silesia much more than Austria ever did almost immediately following the conquest.
Hmm, that woul be Prussia very good AE. ;-)
Cores represent the acceptance of both the population and the international community. As long as your ownership is not recognized, you have to face the resistance of the population and the constant actions of foreign agents who try to destabilize your rule in the province.
The answer of the Silesian issue is the better Prussian AE indeed.
Not necessarily. As long as you don't have appropriate claims, it is easy even for a traveler or traveling merchant to incite unrest in that province.
But the bottom line is: If you conquer a HRE province without proper claims, you'll have to face with penalties and slower coring process. Stick with it
It does not matter whether they care. It matters that, in the European balance of power, the fragmented space of the HRE was generally recognized as a stabilizing factor; and that therefore, any neighboring powers with ambitions to take over chunks thereof were held back by a combination of all European powers.
Exceptions, like the Reunion movement, confirm the rule; and this is suitably represented through the system we built. That is to say, the system is context-sensitive.
Now, in general, the reason why a conquest of one French or Russian province is not the same as the conquest of a German one-province minor (OPM): militarily, it is much more easily done. Thus, in a game, where we do not hand players opportunities on a silver platter, it is therefore necessary for it to have consequences that may rival the inherent consequences of waging war against a country the size of Russia or France: it needs to hurt.
Mourning Magna Mundi
As a general comment, the implied Neo-Realist bent of some of the questions here strikes me as inadequate for the period of time this game represents. Legitimacy was about more than might.
One thing to keep in mind is that we are representing history, but in a game, which is not exactly the same as a simulation. The rules must be conducive to good gameplay. The rules affecting cores do exactly that.
Mourning Magna Mundi
The arguments that foreign and local acceptance are fundamentally and perfectly tied together seem pretty weak. In a perfect world the two would be simulated with different mechanics, but that would require a far greater departure from the original EU3/MMtM base, and therefore a lot more work.
And needless to say, lot more power of your machine.
Don't forget that every mechanism we add to the game has to be calculated on a daily basis and needs a lot of CPU power. Unfortunately our limitation is not only the time but also the playability of the game - especially on low-end machines.
I don't totally aggree about the power of the HRE against country who take province of the HRE.
For example the history of France contains many annexation of imperial territory without any reaction of the empire : Provence, city of Lyon, France-Comté, etc.
And when the duc of Burgundy, Charles the Bold attack the duchy of Lorraine, part of the HRE, no reaction of the imperial institutions
I still don't think there is a reason why HRE cores should core (MUCH) slower than others. If you want to prevent the abuse of annexing small minors, then create a system where the whole empire is called in if an outsider attacks or something; that would "hurt" enough.
Under the correct circumstances, HRE cores actually "core" faster then normal - and under normal circumstances (where you follow HRE mechanics to achieve your HRE goals) coring is just as fast as outside in many cases.
You don't like the fact that the HRE has different and separate mechanics - we understand, but we as a development team think that the HRE mechanics are both necessary and desired.
It is quite funny - you ask that weThis section of the manual might be of interest to you:...create a system where the whole empire is called in if an outsider attacks
Also of interest to you might be the following Central reform the Emperor can attempt to pass:Espionage Missions of the Empire Explained - Over the course of the history of the Holy Roman Empire, there were many espionage activities carried out by agents for the Emperor. As Emperor, you can attempt any of these missions when a province of the Empire is under illegal occupation.
Send the Imperial Army - This province is under illegal occupation. Liberate it by sending the Imperial Army against the occupier.
Send Imperial Army Convener - Send a contingent of the Imperial Army to attempt to retake this province. If the owner of this province agrees to negotiate with, or is toppled by these troops, provinces will be returned to the legitimate owners.
All of this is available for you to read in the manual for further exploration.Peace of the Realm (Landfriede) Imperial Influence: +0.5 per year
Imperial law forbids warfare between member states. Now, the Emperor will always be asked to come to the help of member states of the HRE when they are attacked. Conveners of Imperial Circuits are no longer allowed to take military action on behalf of the Empire and its laws, on their own.
True. Also I think that the manner in which you take the province should affect the reaction. I was playing the mod as France, and my first HRE conquest was Metz. That made the Emperor unhappy, and in a while Austria attacked me. I won the war, and took Vlaanderen as reparation. Later they attacked me again, and this time I took Antwerpen after winning. Needless to say, I faced massive penalties after taking two more HRE provinces, but both were a direct result of me defending myself, and the Emperor being beaten (pretty badly). What I'm saying is that I think the penalties received were way over the top, as I wasn't the aggressor. The Emperor should face the consequences for losing wars just as everyone else.
Those "annexations" seem very aggressive to me; if you were truly defensive, then you would not have expanded any further.
Nevertheless, the penalties and the options available to both the "aggressor" and the "non-aggressor" are different in the game then in the mod. Also the game has a different dynamic when these come into play then the mod had.

Feds accuse 14 of selling cocaine in Wichita

E-Mail This Story
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors have charged 14 people in an alleged cocaine smuggling ring in Wichita.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said in a release Thursday that the 63-count indictment alleges that the drug trafficking organization was active in Wichita from October 2010 until this month.
The indictment also accuses 30-year-old Juvenal Fernandez Jr., of Wichita, of conspiring with his father, 56-year-old Juvenal G. Fernandez, also of Wichita, to launder about $174,000 in drug proceeds by buying real estate.
An attorney listed on the charging documents for Juvenal Fernandez Jr. did not immediately return a call seeking comment. An attorney was not listed for the elder Fernandez.
The others charged in the indictment are accused of possessing or distributing cocaine. They are listed as residents of Wichita and Amarillo, Texas.

Seriously? how? This has to be THE most terrifying champion in dominion. He's everywhere, then when you think you got him, he's nowhere. His DPS is high, and he can reposition himself ALL the time in teaam fights, which is really frusterating in dominion because he can blink pretty much over any freakin wall.
stab yourself in the eyes so you cant see him nuke while building fulltank stab yourself in the ears so you cant hear him riftwalking away with 5 hp stab yourself in the nose, so you cant smell your tears or rage stab yourself in the tongue, so you cant taste your blood when you are biting yourself due to your... oh wait. stab yourself in the hands, so you can wait for ranked dominion to ban that ***** out.
If you can't beat them, join 'em. Kass Hard 2: Kass Harder
AD carries do well against him. He wouldn't be a problem if they were even remotely viable on this map.
Mo Fiora, Mo Blitz
AD carries aren't viable, eh FDru? Then I guess all those Ezreals, Kog'maws, Vaynes, Kayles, Urgots, and other assorted carries that have been fielded in the DD tourney were all for show, right?
Ryzol Ryzo Ryz R
A good kassadin is basically unstoppable. You hope Kassadin makes a positioning mistake and then you chain CC him.
You could start by nerfing the passive mana regen on this map? Let's see if that helps a bit...
A fellow named Talon comes to mind...

Pros:Works well on my Canon T1i and will fit the entire Canon line if you have a 58 mm size lens.
The product is reasonably priced and had no fit or finish problems
Can't think of a con at this price. Local camera store here wants 3 x the price.
If you are like me, you always could use a few more lens covers. I tend to misplace them, so I always have a few extra on hand.
It is actually more sturdily built than the Canon covers that came with my camera..and it does say Canon on the lens cover.

(Hmmm ... but that login2 page works for me...)
Also, my iPhone can no longer log in. Well, i can log in, but it loads the reports page in the small login box frame of the login page. Weird.
Thanks for the updates ASA. Hope this helps.
This is working for me and my AdSense login is now being remembered. Thanks ASA.
This URL allows me to finally log in with my iPhone.
Now I can once again check my stats while waiting in line at the super market. Phew...
Also, when logging in with my Iphone to check stats AdSense will load where the red "Loading..." box appears; a small, unscrollable iframe. A refresh to escape this unusable stat box takes me back to the login info page because, well, AdSense makes me always put in my login info.
Is this happening to anyone else?
It's been happening for the last day or so.
Perhaps, it will be back on track after a day or two..
I used to be able to refresh my Adsense Reports page anytime through the day without needing to log in, after i had logged in once. Now, if i go more than 5 minutes or so without refreshing the page, i have to log in again with my e-addy and password. Just wondering if i did something, IE did something on an auto update, or Google did something that changed things.
Any advice/comments would be appreciated!
"...Publishers experiencing this particular issue (getting stuck in an Google Account migration loop) are those whose original AdSense email address *and* password match their existing Google Account email address and password. In other words, if you signed up for AdSense before we asked everyone to update to Google Accounts, and then you later created a Google Account with the *same* email address and password (and haven't changed the password since), then unfortunately you're encountering a bug in our Google Accounts migration code.
Fortunately, there's an immediate solution to this issue. If you're stuck in this Google Account migration loop, simply visit https://www.google.com/accounts, sign in, and then change your Google Account password to something different than what you're currently using. In addition to being a good password management practice, you'll eliminate the migration loop with this change..."
Is it the same bug as a reducing CTR ? :-)
Seriously, Google admitting to a bug! Whatever next?
I eventually emailed support and they just sent me a useless link and no recognition of the problem.
Facing the same prob here, but will wait it out.
Anyone else having this problem? Ive tried deleting all cookies and internet files and it didnt help?
Obviously it's not a critical error having to sign in a 2nd time, but how hard can this be to fix?
Still not working. Just how long does it take to fix something like this?
And this is NOT working at all: "About automatic sign-in for AdSense In the past, if you were already signed in to your Google Account, we'd automatically give you access to your AdSense account without needing to sign in again. Due to a recent fix for an issue, this automatic sign-in..."
Always endless loop with migrate
I'll bet they laid off all the non-PhD's at Google and now there's nobody left around Google to do the actual coding, the PhD's have THOUGHT about the problem, just nobody left to IMPLEMENT the fix.
Yeah, I was thinking this morning about how it just seems like AdSense is limping along as long as they have that "Already signed in?" message every time I go to view AdSense stats. Add this to the "August 2007 Optimization Report" that can't be made to disappear AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS, and I have to think that AdSense is broken, or they just don't care.
Come on, Google, we expect better from you.
You now it is hard to believe that one of the richest and most powerful companies in the world can find it so difficult to fix what seems to be a quite basic problem. That's about nine weeks now and still no fix and no comment?
A little feedback on why this cannot be fixed would be nice, would it not? ;)

5 Great values for what you get!!!James06 | 07/08/2007 | See all James06's reviews (126)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 100 Electronics Reviewer This is a great gadget to have if you travel a lot as you can play games, listen to music or watch movies.This mini console looks good and lives up to its expection.The battery life only lasts a few hours but if you can get a conectable charge kit your laughing!!!Great product and well worth the money!!!
5 phat version or slim + lite?Shaz145 | 15/08/2010 | See all Shaz145's reviews (3)The old psp is a lot more heavier than the slim version but the slim version feels more cheapl made as it is made out of a shiny plastic. The slim and lite is more likely to develop more faults than the phat version. The common one would be a fault with the UMD drive.I have had this psp for approximately 2 years and it hasn't given me a single fault/problem. The battery life has stayed the same and i haven't changed it so far which emphasises the reliability of this product. I payed 85 pounds for mine and it was worth every single penny.The wireless connection is great for the kids as they can do some research on it. It keeps them quite, he he he.In overall conclusion, If i was to buy a PSP console for someone I would seriously consider the phat version as you get more for your money.
5 response to ds boysloaneyo | 07/08/2008 | See all sloaneyo's reviews (2)all i want to say is the psp is the best handheld to date i dont think ds boy has ever used one i can see the appeal of a nintendo ds if you are ten and like poking things its a one trick pony you press the touch screen wow the psp on the other hand has proper games movies music photos web browser and skype need i carry on and just to say have you seen a umd they dont scratch easy plus the films if you dont like the choice put one of your own on your memory card and last but not least the screen if your on the web browser for to long it will hurt your eyes but watching a film its crisp and clear the psp is a top notch bit ov kit thanks for reading
5 OMG - THIS IS THE BEST.kategeorgearchie | 15/03/2008 | See all kategeorgearchie's reviews (30)This is the best console I have ever tried out. In fact it is the best console ever (PS2) but a mini version!!! It does so much for your money and I adore it. I have no problems with it at all - and don't be put off by people who say that it is too slow. Wouldn't you prefer to have a few seconds longer to wait and have great fun? I know I would.This is the ultimate thing for long journeys. Music. Movies. Games. Irresistable graphics. Internet. Camera (add-on).I'm all for SONY!!! Don't be tricked by Nintendo or XBOX. This just can't be beaten.AND --- AWESOME VALUE.Thank you for your time, I hope this review has been of some help.
4 Didn't last long.sandyman233 | 26/02/2008 | See all sandyman233's reviews (53)I have had a PSP since release date and it was a novelty ro play with at the start becuase of all new games and tui was brand new. As time went by I went back to my DS and was playing that whilst the PSP was sitting in my desk gathering dust. I would mostly recomend the PSP for children becuase the games are more suited to them. I seemed to get scratches on the screen even whilst it was in its protective case with a cleaning cloth over it, still not too sure how this happened.

MP3 of the Day: "Static" Demo by People From Venus
Categories: Local Music, MP3 of the Day
via myspace.com/peoplefromvenus |
The band's been hitting the studio late night lately to finish up its sessions, and the tracks will be sent to New York for a mix-down in July.
In the meantime, since Isaac is a sharing sort of fella, he's passed along this demo version of the band's song "Static." It's a slower one -- maybe almost a ballad, with lyrics like "Are you alone in your bed?" But with the crush of twiddled knobs and pushed buttons, the band's still managed to make the song sound like a transmission from outer space.
People From Venus next plays South Florida on July 17 at the Vagabond. For updates visit the band's official web site or MySpace page.
Here's a link to the song... (It's the band's hosted link, so any complains about Mediafire, take it up with them.)

With the early arrival of flu season, Ohio is seeing hundreds more flu-related hospitalizations this month, compared to previous years.
Vickie Kelly with the Marietta Health Department says its not yet clear whether these numbers which usually peak in February are indicative of an early peak or will continue to increase.
Kelly is encouraging everyone who hasnt yet to get their flu shot, and adds that the vaccination has modernized over the decades.
In the past, technology was not as advanced as it is now and after getting the flu shot, sometimes people would get the flu, due to the vaccination containing a live virus, explains Kelly, Now, they have only been giving dead or inactivated virus flu shots. Sometimes, people who have never gotten the vaccine before may experience mild body aches and a low-grade fever, but theyre not getting the actual flu.
A higher dose vaccine is given to those aged 65 and older, considered a high risk group for flu complications. Kelly says studies showed a more potent formula increasing the immune response in seniors.
The City Health Department also offers a flu mist vaccine, found to be more effective for children.
Immunity to the flu takes between ten to fourteen days after receiving the shot. In the mean time, Vickie Kelly says the most important thing you can do is wash your hands often, sneeze or cough into your elbow instead of your hands, and stay at home if experiencing flu-like symptoms.
The Marietta Health Department, located at 304 Putnam Street, offers flu shots Mondays and Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It costs $10 for children and $25 for adults. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted and nobody is turned away for an inability to pay.

I've seen a lot of recipes for spinach, vegetarian, classic and many other types of lasagna rolls. So I decided to make some for last night's dinner. However, I wanted to give my Sunday dinner a little twist and spiciness, so once again I made a little crazy combination of my two favorite cuisines, Mexican and Italian and I came out with these Mexican Lasagna Rolls. They were not perfect, though. They need a little bit more work, but at least I have a list of things I will do differently next time.
Mexican Lasagna Rolls
Printable recipe
Makes 10 rolls
Prep time: 25-30 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Method: boiling, baking
For this recipe you will need:
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup tomato puree
- 1 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp Italian herbs
- 1/2 cup red wine (I was out and used white wine instead)
- salt and pepper
- 2 poblano peppers, roasted, cleaned and cut in strips
- 1 lb queso fresco or any other moist and firm cheese
- Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs (optional for topping)
- In a saucepan saute onion and garlic over olive oil until translucent.
- Add ground turkey and cook until brown.
- Add spices, tomato and wine. Reduce heat to low, cover and let cook for 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
- Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C)
- In the mean time start rolling your lasagna noodles. Cut queso fresco in cubes and place on one end of a noodle along with a couple of poblano strips and roll. Place them in a baking dish
- When the sauce is ready pour it over lasagna rolls, top with Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs and bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
About this recipe:
- Althoug I liked these rolls, I will make them differently next time. Maybe I will use the poblanos with a basic sauce such a bechamel, or some other kind of creamy sauce. But I will definitely keep the poblanos in the equation.
- The queso fresco was a very nice filling for the rolls. It doesn't melt as fast as soft cheeses and the flavor combination of pasta with it was unique.
- I would also love to make these rolls with spinach. I just love pasta and spinach together.
- This can easily be made into a vegetarian dish. Just take the ground meat out of the picture and use tofu instead of cheese.
Buen provecho!

I like your take on Lasagna! you could start a whole new trend here
This recipe is very interesting. I like the idea of rolled lasagna noodles. Are your noodles homemade or do you buy these? I am not sure if I can find them here but I can make them. About tofu I don't know what it is or how it tastes but the ground turkey or spinach are a nice choice.
Mmm- great idea. These look wonderful.
I'm thinking it might be interesting to forego the Italian spices altogether and make it more of a salsa sauce? I'm with you 100% on the spinach~ YUM! -
those look fantastic! What a great culture combo! I like the idea that TW had of using salsa as well. YUM!
I like the whole fusion idea – who knows – a new invention could take the blogging world by storm. Ithink they look fine – you'd have no argument from me just as long as you threw in a Corona (my very favorite beer)
Hola Ben! Nice spread!!! It looks super-apetitoso!!! I'm always ready for pasta… if it has your Mexican touch, then it gets near perfection
They look really delicious. I love pasta.
Love the idea of doing the filling with the roasted pepers. -
I have seen lasagna rolls before, but never with a Mexican twist! What a great recipe!
interesting idea to make them mexican. its funny how many of us are making these rolls lately! i've had a couple people on flickr & in person tell me they made my spinach ones recently too. is it a lasagna roll craze?!

Hollie-May Saker was just minding her own business, walking the runway at the Nina Ricci fashion show on Sept. 26, when two totally topless women invaded and tried to turn the catwalk into a demonstration! Luckily, Hollie wasn't afraid of defending herself before security guards swooped in. Watch the unbelievable confrontation below!
Never a dull moment at Paris Fashion Week. The Nina Ricci show on Sept. 26 took a very unexpected turn when two feminist — very topless — protestors rushed onto the runway screaming. One model in particular, Hollie-May Saker, found herself smack dab in the middle of the wild scene — and you won't believe how she handled it!
The women, from a Ukranian feminist group called Femen, were on a mission to get their message out with phrases like "Model don't go brothel" and "Fashion dictaterror" written on their bare bodies. But before they got too far, and even the security guards could get to them, Hollie-May gave them a little taste of law and order.
"As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt exposing me," the 18-year-old model from the UK told the Liverpool Echo. "I pulled my arm back with such force that I landed a punch square on her nose. I was so angry but I knew I had to be professional so I carried on walking with a bit of sassiness."
Now that's being fierce on the catwalk! To be fair though, video evidence shows Hollie-May didn't quite punch anyone, but we like that story better.
Hollie-May Saker Attacked: Watch The Video
Hollie-May continued to retaliate against the two topless women who disturbed her strut once the show was over. She took to Twitter saying, "FEEEEEEUUUUMIN THAT B**CH RUINED MY WALK AND HAD HER SAGGY T*TS IN MY FACE #vom." The tweet has since been deleted.
Umm, can we join the Hollie-May Saker fan club?

Pure professionalism from Hollie-May!
As for the security guard. He was just trying to move her along in the most efficient way and his hand seemed to slip as she was trying to resist. I don't think it was inappropriate as he moved his hand as soon as he realised where it was! They were the ones who decided they were going to parade around topless knowing full well what would happen if they did! Disgraceful.

Need help for the floor color
huihui_hwangFebruary 3, 2013
I'd like to do hardwood flooring for my home. Our house has an open space design for the kitchen and family room. Attached is the model home picture. I have the same cabinet color (maple, not as golden as in the misleading picture though). And I've chosen dark backsplash and counter top. My wall is off-white. To be conservative, I can choose medium-to-light brown flat maple floor. But I want to make home look as spacious as possible. I might have to give up birch or maple natural as my husband does not like that light color. I'm having a dilemma in choosing the floor color now.Would appreciate any ideas very much! By the way, my style is traditional and casual.
Thank you very much in advance!

I always recommend for items in your home that you will have to live with for a long time, if not forever, that you choose something in the middle. ie, Dark wood floors have beenin for a while, they will eventually go out of style like terrazo tile and light oak floors. Choose something mid range that you can always be happy with and will go with anything in the future. Some of the Carbonized Bamboo floors are beautiful as they are extremely tough.I have been told they are twice as strong as oak, a very hard wood. And they are treated in a way that many look just like any other wood. You would not know it is bamboo. Have used it in very traditional homes.
Thanks so much for both your comments! Well I'm afraid I did not make myself clear. Or maybe I actually made myself misunderstood. :-) When I said "traditional", I was thinking of traditional cabinetry. I also like coastal or nautica living style. Actually I'm not a fan for hichory or bamboo floor. I'm more a maple person. I like uniformity only with some variation in shade. Mirage Maple Sonora or something similar is an example that we like a lot. My concern is brownish color might make the room look smaller. And I have an impression that floor color lighter than the cabinets might create a more cheerful look. I do not like the graining in traditional oak floor. But sometimes white oak creates light shade and looks neutral to me. And the graining is not as strong as traditional oak. I kinda like Garrison collection II grey white wash (see attached). But I'm afraid it's not safe (or wrong!) to choose the cold color that might not go with my existing cabinetry and dark brown backsplash, etc. I'm actually looking for something darker than birch or light brown with little variation or fine texture to create a fresh, cheerful and casual look.

The Art for Animals 2014 Contest Winners
The Chicago-based National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) holds an annual animal-themed art contest, Art for Animals, and invites artists to provide viewers with a fresh and creative perspective about respect, justice, and compassion for animals. For the 2014 contest, NAVS invited animal lovers and artists of all ages to submit inspiring artwork that best demonstrates this year's theme, "Compassion for Animals." Past submissions have been chosen to illustrate NAVS publications, posters, stationery, and other media. In addition, NAVS recognizes first-, second-, and third-place winners in three age categories as well as Best Photo and Best in Show, all of whom are awarded cash prizes.
The National Anti-Vivisection Society extends a heartfelt "Thank You!" to everyone who participated in Art for Animals 2014.We received nearly 300 compelling pieces of artwork illustrating this year's theme, "Compassion for Animals." Entries represented a wide range of subjects and the use of diverse mediums—including painting, poetry, photography, sculpture, collage, and even a quilt.
This year's Best in Show winner (Liberation, by Kerri Aitken) beautifully illustrates the end goal of NAVS' mission: empty cages. Her depiction of animals most commonly used in research standing before an unlocked and empty cage—and beneath the wings of a symbol for hope—articulates NAVS' vision for the future of all animals. continue reading…

I had ordered a few other rugs. One came cream and I sent it back. The same picture was used and it said black and didn't mention white or off white... It was tan. 3 is the charm. I finally got the match. Nice pile... it will shed a little and after a short amount of time it will stop.
Love the rug, no odor, rolled out practically immediately, nice and thick, slightly sculpted, only thing you can vacuum it for ever, I have a Dyson and have emptied my vacuum canister 5 times the day i got it and it could still be vacuumed, it does not seem to be fuzzing on the hard wood floors though. It's a nice rug for the money. I would buy it again. Shipping was fast, got it in 4 days.
the rug is very thick and of good quality. However, I ordered this specific one because it said it was black and WHITE. It's no where close to being white or even off white. it's beige. I'm living with it but it was a big disappointment.
Bought this rug about a month ago and I'm not disappointed! Gorgeous, comfie, plush! The price can't be beat. overstock!
The rug is of excellent quality and looks great exactly what I ordered. Very fast shipping as well. Thanks Overstock, very pleased!!!

text: It seemed like a dream come true when the first Sex and the City movie came out, but when we heard there would be a second, well, it was hard to contain ourselves. Writer/genius Michael Patrick King says his inspiration for the sequel was the audience at the first movie (yay us!). "When I would see the audience showing up dressed and I saw some people taking pictures of themselves in the theatre seats, I thought, 'This is an interactive party; this is no longer a movie.'" We so agree. But how did he go out during a recession and make a movie about spending thousands on Louboutins without blinking?! He decided to take us all on a vacation to the most extravagant place he could think of� Abu Dhabi. Read on to get the cast's favorite moments from filming in Morocco and why they still love playing these four besties.
