Isabel is Editor of the Review of Applied Ethics - which addresses such questions as 'Truth telling in sexual relationships' - and she also hosts The Sunday Philosophy Club at her house in Edinburgh. Behind the city's Georgian facades its moral compasses are spinning with greed, dishonesty and murderous intent. Instinct tells Isabel that the young man who tumbled to his death in front of her eyes at a concert in the Usher Hall didn't fall. He was pushed. With Isabel Dalhousie Alexander McCall Smith introduces a new and pneumatic female sleuth to tackle murder, mayhem - and the mysteries of life. As her hero WH Auden maintained, classic detective fiction stems from a desire for an uncorrupted Eden which the detective, as an agent of God, can return to us. But then Isabel, being a philosopher, has a thing or two to say about God as well. Read Less

Plot is the redeeming feature of this book. The central character did not appeal to me except in her persistence to uncover the truth. Not a book I would keep to read again. Perhaps the author's other stories are better crafted, since he seems to have quite a following in our book club.
Aug 7, 2008
This is one of three in a series......characters are personable, well-identified and no "yucky" language spoken. Plots are fun and simple but well planned out. a fun read with some lingering attachments to the characters.

Having read and enjoyed the No 1 Ladies Detective series, I tried Isabel's Sunday Philosophy Club and found myself distracted from the story lines by too much rhetoric and moralizing. I may try one more book in the series, but this one was a little bit of a disappointment .

HR Connect is a part of the Human Resources Line of Business. In fiscal 2006, the HR Connect program returned $1.6 million to its customers.
"Without question, Lynn Eddy has and continues to demonstrate that she is a top-notch executive who leads by example and deed," said Ira Hobbs, Treasury's former CIO.
"He demonstrated perseverance and management acumen in accomplishing an aggressive agenda," while building close relationships at all levels, said Kevin Carroll, who leads the Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems.
"He's the ultimate communicator and resource manager," Carroll said.
"He's a consensus-builder," said Lawrence Gross, associate chief information officer for e-government at the Treasury Department. Gross called on Fields to fill gaps in Treasury's identity management program, encryption initiative and other technology efforts.
Fields has served as president of the HP African-American Leadership Forum. He is also a member of the Industry Advisory Council, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Black Data Processing Association and the IT Senior Management Forum, which fosters executive talent among black information technology professionals.
"His leadership style is to plan and execute," Gross said. "If you want to make it happen, you put him in there."
"Lisa has been the visionary, executive sponsor and driver behind the implementation," said Donna Morea, president of CGI for the United States and India.
Vines said he relied on JPTA to track the condition and location of evacuated soldiers and identify the particular beds they occupied at the Landstuhl Regional Army Medical Center in Germany, a process that previously required as many as 30 phone calls.
Fravell pushed the deployment of JPTA to more than 20 hospitals throughout the Military Health System and hospitals operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs, where Fravell is now on detached duty as a senior fellow.
The team developed a request for proposals for the two Alliant contracts and pushed them through the initial stages of procurement. Ghiloni is credited with getting Alliant back on track — not just hitting the major milestones but winning praise from industry.
"He is an excellent leader and has been able to translate the vision of the [Information Technology Services] portfolio into the Alliant contract," said Steven Kempf, acting deputy assistant commissioner of ITS at GSA's Federal Acquisition Service.
Gregory Giddens, executive director of the initiative, had to steer his way through an oversight minefield while applying his day-to-day organization and management skills to moving SBInet forward.
It's easy for DHS people to become isolated, said Mark Rushing, portfolio leader for the Justice and Homeland Security departments at Capgemini Government Solutions.
"What we needed on SBInet was someone who could both be a driver and have the ability to coalesce people around him and the project," Rushing said.
Recognizing that the Office of the President was relying on substandard communications capabilities in locations where the president frequently spent time, Hagin led a team of experts from the Defense Information Systems Agency, the White House Communications Agency and other departments through a $327 million, five-year project to upgrade voice, video and data communications systems on Air Force One and at Camp David and other off-site presidential venues.
"He brings together other organizations that potentially provide capabilities to the president and helps force decisions to ensure interoperability among those organizations," said Col. Jim Lien, White House Communications Agency commander. "He is hands-up a leader [who] lets you do your thing but keeps a pulse on it to make sure it is happening the way it is supposed to."
Havekost's leadership was behind the creation of Grants.gov. When it was only a concept, he brought together the grants community from 26 agencies, identified major decisions to be made and created the necessary governance structure and consensus.
Sheila Conley, HHS' deputy chief financial officer, said Havekost "has the knack of being able to bring people together to make decisions where others can't."
He also was instrumental in correcting the department's information security problems, enabling HUD to achieve a green rating in e-government on the President's Management Agenda.
"Pat Howard is a superstar among the [chief information officer] community, that rare individual who is a superb, dedicated leader and manager, and is also a true subject matter expert in IT security," said Lisa Schlosser, HUD's CIO.
"I would call him a pioneer in the concept of fusion centers before they were called fusion centers," said Vance Hitch, chief information officer at the Justice Department. A fusion center is a group of law enforcement organizations that agree on rules and standards for sharing information.
Johnson is an effective leader in information-sharing activities because he understands the value of rules and standards and has the right characteristics, Hitch said. "He is an experienced law enforcement officer, and he brings that experience along with good interpersonal skills and management skills, and a willingness to speak up."
"Kim was diligent and collaborative, and most importantly, she was effective," said Tim Young, OMB's associate administrator in the Office of E-Government and Information Technology.
"What makes her successful is her perseverance," said Lt. Gen. Charles Croom, DISA's director.
Croom is quick to point out that Jones doesn't run a charity. "We don't give dollars to small businesses," he said. "It's more than just spreading money around. It's targeting [small businesses that] are good for America. It's a passion for her."
Jost initiated an approach to portfolio management by establishing a partnership between DOD's Office for Networks and Information Integration, the Joint Staff and the Strategic Command.
"He had already put a lot of energy into investigating an enterprisewide approach to implementing technologies in the DOD," said Linton Wells, principal deputy assistant secretary of Defense for networks and information integration.
"He'd done a lot of work toward cross-program synchronization," Wells said. Portfolio management led to significant improvements in IT management, he said.

Liberty 285, code 6, 105 north avenue, 52
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
"Liberty 285" is a stock dispatch sound effect that has been used in countless films and television shows.
Where the sound was first used is unclear, but many people attribute it to a shareware game from the 90's called, "Spiderman Cartoon Maker".
Screened.com, however, reports that it was first seen on a sound compilation called, "Sound Ideas – Sound Generals Series 6000", though the first film that it was ever used in has yet to be discovered.

Four New Voyager reviews
By AmyNovember 9, 2000 - 2:11 PM
O. Deus of TrekWeb has posted his review of yesterday's Voyager episode 'Inside Man'. He appeared to have enjoyed the episode at least somewhat, calling it "pleasant and offbeat viewing".
The second 'Inside Man' review today comes courtesy of Bonnie Malmat (T'Bonz) at Section 31. Bonnie also enjoyed the episode, rating it a 'B'.
The Good: Continuity from other shows. We have seen Paris and Harkins and Barclay before. It's good to see things in the Alpha Quadrant, and that they're still trying to get Voyager home Mention of the Iconian Gateway .It was good to hear of Troi and Riker being together (although seeing Riker would have been better! J ), I was never one who was a fan of Troi/Worf . Dabo girl of course makes one think of DS9 . It was good to hear about Barclay at Geordie's birthday party. It keeps TNG and DS9 alive ..Notice how they referred to other failed attempts to get home. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad! .. Also it was interesting to get Seven's take on when she returns to the Alpha Quadrant, she's not expecting a red carpet to be rolled out for her. Setting up for the homecoming?
Again, for the full review, please click here.The Funny: B'Elanna and Tom's ribbing of Harry. Poor naïve Harry. He'd never last on Ferenginar, would he? .. Also the imitation by Holo-Barclay of Janeway and Tuvok was funny.
Thirdly, Tube Reviewer Jeff Bond recently uploaded his take on last week's episode, 'Critical Care'.
The Doctor immediately rails against the injustice of this system and begins using his knowledge of how bureaucracies work to parcel out treatment more equally. Meanwhile, Janeway and the Voyager attempt to track down the alien trader who kidnapped the Doctor. Shockingly, this standard "B" story is treated with a degree of style and wit, particularly in a sequence in which Janeway deals with a succession of the trader's former contacts on the bridge viewscreen. As each personality is presented the camera cuts back to Janeway looking more and more bored. The payoff is a scene in which a flummoxed Janeway grabs for Tuvok and declares that the Vulcan is her "mate" in order to put off an alien male inquiring about her availability. It's yet another illustration of how the VOYAGER cast seems more than capable of successfully playing ironic humor (very much in the style of the original series) rather than mining the blustering Neelix for easy laughs. Unfortunately, as we reach the end of the line it's just sad to see how seldom this road was taken.
To be whisked away to the Tube Review site, click here.If there's a downside to "Critical Care" it's in the easy way it solves its ethical dilemma by channeling all the blame onto an ugly, cold alien administrator played by Larry Drake. The message seems to be less "we have to change our highly complex system" and more "never trust an abrasive, ugly guy to run your highly complex system." Drake is a fine actor but ever since he was brilliantly cast against type as a villain in Sam Raimi's DARKMAN (remember he used to be the painfully vulnerable, mentally challenged Benny on L.A. LAW) he's been stuck in Edward G. Robinson villain roles.
And finally, Julia Houston, About.com's Star Trek Guide, has posted her review of 'Repression', which aired two weeks ago.
Boy, those weird mystics are everywhere, aren't they? And evidently, they're so messed up that not even the fact that their causes can't even pretend to exist anymore don't stop them from enacting their nefarious crimes.
To read Julia's take on the episode, click here.I mean, it's not just a matter of the Maquis' having been obliterated back in the Alpha Quadrant, what they were fighting for is no longer an issue. Supposedly, anyway, the Maquis formed as a protest against the unfair Starfleet/Cardassian treaty that handed over some Starfleet colonies to Cardassian space (a somewhat unbelievable premise to begin with, in my opinion, whether Adm. Nechayev were involved or not). Well, that treaty is now somewhat obsolete, to say nothing of having been completely ignored and no longer in service.
So if there are people, and not just Teero, out in the Alpha Quadrant who want to resurrect the Maquis, their motivation is...what? General cussedness?

Still unlike the two previous Barclay episodes, Inside Man actually provides something useful for Troi to do. Where in Pathfinder she was just someone for Barclay to talk to, here she actually takes a leading role in some of the events. The interrogation scenes are priceless with every single actor from Admiral Paris down shining in however much screentime they get. This is the only time IM succesfully combines the dark and light touches that made Pahtfinder so succesful and it alone is worth the price of admission. As in Tinker Tailor, the humor works because it's grounded in reality and in genuine human pain, while on the Voyager side the funniest bit is just the sight gag involving the Doctor's golfing costume.
One of the advantages of the Barclay side of the story is also the fact that Barclay is dealing with a conspiracy that might have plausibly gone unnoticed. The method of Barclay's exploitation and how clueless he was about it is very plausible and ties in perfectly with Barclay's backstory and character, while the method of the Voyager side of the conspiracy wouldn't have fooled a child. Basically on the word of a hologram who's really charming, Janeway nearly kills her entire crew without actually verifying the information with Starfleet itself. Janeway, who is usually paranoid and sensing conspiracies where there are none, is never remotely suspicious of the EHB until the EMH's pettiness (in a plot point recycled so often it's practically turned to mulch) raises her suspicisions. Barclay is supposed to be gullible and easily taken advantage of, Janeway isn't.

NASA image captured March 29, 2011
Early this morning, at 5:20 am EDT, MESSENGER captured this historic image of Mercury. This image is the first ever obtained from a spacecraft in orbit about the Solar System's innermost planet. Over the subsequent six hours, MESSENGER acquired an additional 363 images before downlinking some of the data to Earth. The MESSENGER team is currently looking over the newly returned data, which are still continuing to come down.
The dominant rayed crater in the upper portion of the image is Debussy. The smaller crater Matabei with its unusual dark rays is visible to the west of Debussy. The bottom portion of this image is near Mercury's south pole and includes a region of Mercury's surface not previously seen by spacecraft.
Over the next three days, MESSENGER will acquire 1185 additional images in support of MDIS commissioning-phase activities. The year-long primary science phase of the mission will begin on April 4, and the orbital observation plan calls for MDIS to acquire more than 75,000 images in support of MESSENGER's science goals.
On March 17, 2011 (March 18, 2011, UTC), MESSENGER became the first spacecraft to orbit the planet Mercury. The mission is currently in its commissioning phase, during which spacecraft and instrument performance are verified through a series of specially designed checkout activities. In the course of the one-year primary mission, the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation will unravel the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. Visit the Why Mercury? section of this website to learn more about the science questions that the MESSENGER mission has set out to answer.

So your looking to pick up a HTC Desire of eBay reasonably soon.
Is there any difference between Aus (delivered/imported 8181 Desires on eBay) vs NextG 8183 branded HTC Desires sold on eBay ?
because The NextG 8183 ones on eBay are currently fetching approx $100 more than none NextG 8181 Branded ones.
Is there any difference between Aus delivered/imported Desires (on eBay) vs NextG branded HTC Desires sold on eBay. From what I can tell they should all support the same frequency space, so there shouldnt be any difference.
There are two different models of Desire....
Telstra sells one that supports UMTS 850/2100 The actual Telstra Next G branded ones have got some Telstra "Apps" loaded into the ROM which cannot be easily removed, however they are simply links to Telstra services. They are unlocked.
Models sourced overseas usually support UMTS 900/2100, which won't work on NextG.
Pick wisely.
The NextG Versions will still operate on Optus/Voda/etc right? The frequency ranges all seems to match up. Some online stores are selling NextG and none NextG versions, just dont want to shoot myself in the foot.
Yes, the Next G version will work on Optus 3G, but only in metro areas. It does not support the 900 MHz frequency used by Optus or Voda in regional areas, meaning outside city, you'll only get 2G.
It does not support the 900 MHz frequency used by Optus or Voda in regional areas
Hmmm ok, thats weird because according to the HTC Site (and this is where im getting confused) with all the "Exclusive to Telstra NextG" Branding, it supports the following
* Australia: 850/2100 MHz
* Australia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Do they cripple the NextG version and rip out the 900mhz ?
Australia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Those are GSM frequencies, not UMTS.
To make it abundantly clear:
Telstra specs:
•Australia: 850/2100 MHz
•Australia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Optus specs:
•Australia: 900/2100 MHz
•Australia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G is around the world but Yes the US carrier At&T use it..
To help you, AT&T use the 850MHZ band while the other mobiles providers (ie T-Mobile) all use the 900 etc if you are grey importing a US phone the rule of thumb is if the phone works on AT&T then it will work on Telstra 3G network..
Telstra have two different 3G networks and they are 'branded' differently, yet they are both technically 3G at the end of the day.
1. Telstra 3G = 2100mhz, is only implemented in metropolian areas.
2. Telstra NextG = 850mhz, is implemented Australia wide and superceeds their 2100mhz implementation.
As you can see they are both 3G. The NextG branded product has more bandwith available to it, (not that 2100 doesn't have enough, just the way Telstra's implementation is).
Speed wise, telstra do have the fastest network, but in time, others will catch up. NextG is not some magical creative, even if Telstra subtly make you think that.
The issue with handsets is that they either come in 850/2100 variants (i.e compable on Telstra 850 3G) or 900/2100 variants (compatible with other networks in australia including the Telstra 3g branded service on the 2100 network).
Futher, this is not to be confused with similar GSM frequencies (then you get 2G coverage)
So is NextG just better coverage, or is it faster too? I was lead to believe there was a speed increase.
The downside to having more coverage and web speed, is being stuck with Telstra..
If you have voda or Optus, you need the desire A8181.. if you're with Telstra you need the A8183
I have Optus meaning my phone model is A8181 & it's $100+ cheaper

I have a default route set up in my ASP.NET MVC2 project and would like to add/modify it for some of my other controllers. Lets say I have a Customer controller with Details action that expects and "id" parameter (int). For example:
// GET: /Customer/Details/5
public ActionResult Details(int id)
How can I add a route that will return a 404 if a user enters a "non-number"? I tried adding following "before" default route but it did not work...
"DefaultDigitsId", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" },
new { id = @"\d+" }
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
Note, I would like, if possible, to keep default route... All of my controllers use "Details" and "Edit" where "id" (int) parameter is required.. I am wondering if there is a way to accomplish this without having to specify multiple routes (i.e. something generic)...And of course, the goal is that if user enters something like "/Customer/Details/apple" it does not throw an error but takes them to Error page...
There is also this post that hints to setting a default value but I am not sure how to do it...

The Church of England Diocese of Bristol passed a vote of no confidence in the ability of the General Synod of the Church of England to effect the clear will of the majority of Church members in relation to women bishops:
Members of the Diocesan Synod also reaffirmed its strong conviction that women should be Bishops and called on the House of Bishops to explore every avenue to move this forward with great urgency.
51 members of Synod voted in favour of the motion which was proposed by the Revd Mat Ineson, Vicar of St Matthew's and St Nathanael's, Kingsdown. Three voted against and there were no abstentions.
Speaking at the meeting, the Bishop of Bristol, the Rt Revd Mike Hill, said:
"There have been no ten days in my ministry quite like the last ten days. To make a masterful understatement, the current situation does not feel good.
"I wholeheartedly believe that the ministry of the Church of England will remain underdeveloped until we get women bishops. We would get a new and different perspective within the episcopate and I believe that new and different perspective would be a gift to the present House of Bishops and to the wider Church. It is certainly a gift I, personally, would love to receive."
The full text of the approved motion:
In the light of the recent failure of the General Synod to pass the Draft Bishops and Priests (Consecration and Ordination of Women) measure at its sessions of November 2012, despite overwhelming support for this legislation by this and other diocesan synods of the Church of England, Bristol Diocesan Synod:
1. Reaffirms our strong conviction that it is God's will that women be ordained as bishops in the Church of England.
2. Has no confidence in the General Synod's ability to transact the clear will of the majority of the Church with the urgency required to further the mission and witness of the Church.
3. Calls on the House of Bishops to explore, as a matter of great urgency, every possible avenue to effect the will of the Church on this issue.

Go Bristol!!!! Bristol Cathedral is where we worship in the summers when we live there (for work). The people are wonderful, very welcoming and the Dean's sermon's are outstanding, theology inspiring. While I haven't visited these parishes, I have met Bishop Mike Hill (who was born in Philadelphia) and am not surprised by their support of WB's. I pray for them most fervently.

Another piece of credit union legislation is introduced before CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference.
The House Financial Services Committee passed the Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners Act July 24 by a vote of 30-27.
House panel passes measure to eliminate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, largely privatize secondary mortgage market.
Measure similar to proposed legislation in House, would raise cap to 27.5% of assets.
California Republican Ed Royce and co-sponsoring Democrat Carolyn McCarthy of New York bring MBL cap-raising bill back for 2013 session.
WASHINGTON—The political pitch to raise the credit union member business lending cap are claims that doing so will spur job growth. According to credit union executives that attended this year's Governmental Affairs Conference, that claim is more than just wishful thinking.
WASHINGTON — With legislation to raise the cap on member business loans languishing in committee, CUNA reached out to business groups to help make its case.
Congressmen and businessmen got together on Capital Hill to call for a lifting of the member business lending cap for credit unions.
WASHINGTON — Industry lobbyists brought in business owners to tell their stories on Wednesday.
So far 130 members of the House and Senate representing both parties and a range of ideological views have agreed be honorary chairs of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Run.

Five Tools for Aerating Your Lawn
Give your soil some air and keep your grass healthy with these tools for aerating your lawn.
Best performed lightly in spring or in fall, lawn aeration is necessary to relieve soil compaction and to allow air to circulate around the grass roots and at the base of the leaf blades. There are various tools that can be used to achieve this, from the simple garden fork to mechanical aerators that are ideal for use over large areas.
Soil compaction can be relieved by pushing the solid tines of a fork into the lawn down to a depth of about 3 inches (8 cm) and wiggling the fork slightly to widen the holes before continuing this process every 4 inches (10 cm).
Hollow tiner
This special tool is used in the same way as the fork and using the same spacing, but it has hollow tines, meaning that cores of soil are removed, which should be filled in with good quality top-dressing.
This tool removes leaves and any thatch at the base of the grass blades, allowing air to circulate and helping water and fertilizer to penetrate the root zone.
Spiked boots
Combine a stroll in the garden with aerating the lawn: these strap-on soles have long spikes on the underside that break up soil compaction as you walk.
A useful aeration alternative, the slitter is run over the grass and its sharp blades penetrate through the turf. It lightly trims the grass roots, allowing air to enter the root

Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy, Sean John November 4, 1969 (1969-11-04) Sean John Combs (born November 4, 1969[1]), known by his stage name Diddy, is an American record producer, rapper, actor, men's fashion designer, entrepreneur and dancer. He won three Grammy Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards, and his clothing line earned a Council of Fashion Designers of America award. He was originally known as Puff Daddy and then as P. Diddy (Puff and Puffy being often used as a nickname, but never as recording names). In August 2005, he changed his stage name to simply "Diddy". He continues to use the name P. Diddy in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, the latter after a legal battle with another artist, Richard "Diddy" Dearlove.[2] In June 2008 Combs' representative denied rumors of another name change.[3] His business interests under the umbrella of Bad Boy Entertainment Worldwide include Bad Boy Records; the clothing lines Sean John; Sean by Sean Combs, a movie production company; and two restaurants. He has taken the roles of recording executive, performer, producer of MTV's Making the Band, writer, arranger, clothing designer, and Broadway actor. Combs is one of the richest hip-hop performers, having a net worth estimated at US $346 million in 2006.[4] He was portrayed by Derek Luke in the biopic of The Notorious B.I.G. called Notorious. Early years and Melvin Combs. He grew up in Mount Vernon, just to the north of the New York City borough of The Bronx. On January 26, 1972, when Combs was two, his father, aged 33, an associate of Frank Lucas the New York drug lord, was shot dead in his car at in a Manhattan park after attending a party.[5] Lucas and rival gangster Nicky Barnes both New York City, New York, United Combs was born in the public housing projects of Harlem, New York, the son of Janice States Hip hop Rapper, record producer, actor, fashion designer, dancer, singer 1988 – present Bad Boy, Violator The Notorious B.I.G., Lil' Kim, Nas, The Hitmen, Jay-Z 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia publicly state that they were close to Melvin.[6] Combs played football at the Roman Catholic Mount Saint Michael Academy. He played defense and, in 1986 when he was a senior, his team won a division title. Combs has "fond memories" of his high school buddies, one of whom (the team quarterback) was Andrew Campos, a reputed Gambino crime family enforcer. Combs is not alleged, either in court papers or by law enforcement sources, to have engaged in any wrongdoing in any of his dealings with Campos.[7] He completed his secondary education in 1987. Sean Combs Magazine, JC said, "Sean and I remain friends, just not as close as we once were. Our split where it relates to business was because we saw two totally different avenues. I wanted to drive left and go the way of Def Jam and its mainstay of artists and Puffy [Puff Daddy] wanted to drive right, business as usual. The split was amicable. Hip Hart Beat Records will one day become a reality. We are close now." Establishing Bad Boy Records Uptown Records Combs attended Howard University in Washington, DC, where he showed a penchant for marketing and gained a reputation as a party promoter. He eventually became an intern at New York's Uptown Records.[5] For some time he would travel back and forth between Washington and New York, juggling his classes and his internship, before eventually dropping out of Howard[8] when he became a top executive at Uptown. He was instrumental in developing Jodeci and signing and producing Mary J. Blige. In 1991 Combs promoted a concert, headlined by Heavy D. and held at the City College of New York gymnasium, following an AIDS charity basketball game. The event was overcrowded since it was oversold to almost twice capacity, while thousands without tickets were outside. To keep them out Combs' people shut the only door to a stairwell and put a table behind it, though the crowd jammed inside was pounding on the door and pleading for help. When the crowd outside broke several glass doors in an attempt to get in a stampede ensued inside the gymnasium in which nine people died.[9] In a 1999 ruling, a Court of Claims judge found Puff Daddy and Heavy D. responsible for 50 percent of the incident. City College bore the rest of the responsibility in part for abandoning security responsibility to Puff Daddy though they knew the event was oversold. In 1992 Combs entered into an agreement with Hartford, Connecticut, disc jockey JC "Big Balla" Sledge to start a label in Hartford for the city's untapped talent, named Hip Hart Beat Records. The pair had creative differences over the usage of talent and eventually split. In a statement to Rolling Stone Bad Boy Entertainment Worldwide headquarters on Broadway on the edge of Times Square looking down to a billboard of Combs In 1993, after being fired from Uptown, Combs established Bad Boy Records,[10] taking new hip-hop artist The Notorious B.I.G. with him. Both The Notorious B.I.G. and Craig Mack quickly released hit singles, followed by similarly successful LPs, particularly B.I.G.'s Ready to Die.[9] Combs began signing more acts to Bad Boy, including, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, Father MC, 112 and Total, as well as producing for Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil' Kim, TLC, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, SWV, Aretha Franklin, and others, and forming The Hitmen, an in-house production team. Mase and D-Block (then known as "The L.O.X.") joined Bad Boy just as a widely publicized rivalry with the West Coast's Death Row Records was beginning. Combs and B.I.G. were criticized and parodied by Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight in songs and interviews during the mid-1990s. During 1994–1995, he also helped produce songs for TLC's CrazySexyCool, which was the 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia decade's best-selling R&B album. Songs he helped produced include "If I was Your Girlfriend" and "Can I Get A Witness". Sean Combs that Combs had tried to bribe him into taking the weapon after the shooting.[15] With a gag order in place, the highly-publicized trial began. His attorney was Johnnie L. Cochran Jr.. After the trial was over, Combs was found not guilty on all charges; Shyne was convicted on the same charges[10] and sentenced to ten years in prison. Combs and Lopez split shortly after. A lawsuit filed by Combs's driver, Fenderson, who said he suffered emotional damage after the club shooting, was settled in February 2004. Lawyers for both sides, having agreed to keep the settlement terms secret, would say only that the matter was resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.[16] "Puff Daddy" In 1997 Combs recorded his first commercial vocal as a rapper under the name "Puff Daddy." His debut single, "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" spent six weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, No Way Out was a #1 album and won the 1998 Grammy Award for best rap album. He collaborated with Jimmy Page on the song "Come with Me" for the Godzilla film. The track, approved by Page, sampled the Led Zeppelin song "Kashmir". Producer Tom Morello supplied live guitar parts, playing bass on the song. Combs and Page filmed a video for "Come with Me", which reached #2 in the UK. By the late 1990s he was receiving criticism for watering down and overly commercializing hip-hop and overusing guest appearances by other artists, samples and interpolations of past hits in his own hit songs.[11][12] The Onion parodied this phenomenon in a 1997 article called "New rap song samples Billie Jean in its entirety, adds nothing."[13] "P. Diddy" In 2001, after his acquittal on gun possession and bribery charges, Combs changed his stage name from "Puff Daddy" to "P. Diddy".[17] He later appeared as a drug dealer in the film Made and starred with Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball. He tried to reinvent his image, but soon faced assault charges by a Detroit television host, Dr. Roger Mills, and then was arrested for driving on a suspended license in Florida.[18] A gospel album, Thank You, was never released. After an accusation of reckless driving by the Miami police he began working with a series of unusual (for him) artists. A collaboration with David Bowie appeared on the soundtrack to Training Day and he also worked with Britney Spears and 'N Sync. He signed California-based pop girl group Dream to his record label. He was also an opening act for 'N Sync on their Spring 2002 Celebrity Tour. Later in 2002, he made his own reality show on MTV called Making the Band 2, a sequel to the first Making the Band, in which contestants competed to be in a new group on Bad Boy Records. Six finalists were to come up with their name, CD and video (see Da Band). The group, maligned by comics and critics and drawing a skit on Chappelle's Show, was dissolved by Combs at the end of the series. In 2003, Combs ran in the New York City Marathon and raised $2,000,000 for the educational system for the children of New York.[19] On March 10, 2004, he appeared in The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss the Club New York In December 1999 Combs was accused of assaulting Steve Stoute of Interscope Records. Stoute was the manager for Nas. Combs had filmed a video scene earlier that year for "Hate Me Now" that featured Nas being crucified but demanded that the images be removed. Stoute's refusal led to an argument and Puff Daddy's arrest for aggravated assault. This was followed by yet more negative publicity as The Lox left Bad Boy Records and a recording session with Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease, both of Biggie's Junior M.A.F.I.A. posse, was interrupted by gunfire. On December 27, 1999, Combs and his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez were at Club New York, a midtown Manhattan nightclub, when gunfire broke out.[14] After a police investigation, Combs and fellow rapper Shyne were arrested for weapons violations and other charges. The New York County District Attorney's Office, led by Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bogdanos, indicted Combs after his driver, Wardel Fenderson, claimed 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia marathon, which he finished in four hours and eighteen minutes. In 2004, Combs headed the campaign "Vote or Die" for the 2004 Presidential Election. The "Vote or Die" slogan was mocked by both The Daily Show and South Park as being too simplistic and encouraging young people to vote without knowing the issues. In a South Park episode entitled "Douche and Turd", Combs and his friends were depicted chasing one of the main characters around with weapons, literally threatening to kill him if he wouldn't vote in his school election. Sean Combs Mario Winans (signed to his label 'Bad Boy Records'), Nas, Will.i.am (of Black Eyed Peas), Mary J. Blige, Nicole Scherzinger (of the Pussycat Dolls), Jamie Foxx, Fergie, Big Boi (of Outkast), Ciara, Twista, Just Blaze, Pharrell, Brandy. The album reached number one on its first week in the charts. It was reported that Combs would be singing on all the tracks of this album but he did not sing at all on the album's first single, "Come To Me" (featuring Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls), but rather did his traditional rapping. He did sing on the third single, "Last Night" (featuring Keyshia Cole). "Tell Me" (featuring Christina Aguilera) was released as the second single. He was asking fans on his MySpace page[25] to help him choose the fourth single, which was "Through the Pain (She Told Me)" (featuring Mario Winans). In October 2007, he was sued by hip-hop promoter James Waldon for allegedly unleashing three violent bodyguards on him in a New York nightclub. In March 2008, a source for the LA Times claimed that the Notorious B.I.G. and Combs knew about Tupac Shakur's death beforehand, but the LA Times later retracted the story, saying it believed the FBI reports were fabricated.[26] August 2008 saw Combs venture into reality television with the premiere of his VH1 series I Want to Work for Diddy.[27] After the second season finale of Making the Band 4, Combs confirmed that he will be heading back into the studio to record his next album. He posted a Myspace Bulletin on February 19, 2009 that his next album is set to release September 22, 2009. Combs has stated that he would like to work with Leona Lewis on his new album. In an interview with The Daily Mail he said: "I had Christina aguilera on my last album, but its all about Leona lewis on my next." "Diddy" On August 16, 2005, Combs appeared on the Today show and announced that he was altering his stage name yet again, dropping the "P." and referring to himself simply as "Diddy", saying that "the P was getting between me and my fans."[20] However this upset Richard "Diddy" Dearlove, a London based musical artist & DJ,[21] who in November 2005 sought an injunction of the Royal Courts of Justice, London but accepted an out-of-court settlement of £110,000. As a result, Combs no longer uses the name Diddy in the UK, where he is still known as P. Diddy.[2][22] Combs starred in the 2005 Carlito's Way: Rise to Power, played Walter Lee Younger in the critically-acclaimed 2004 Broadway revival of A Raisin in the Sun and the television adaptation which was aired in February 2008. In the same year Combs sold his record company to the Warner Music Group. Tensions still existed between him and former Warner's CEOs Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles (both formerly of Def Jam) but they arranged for his imprint to be a part of the company. In an interview with AndPOP Combs said that he was developing a line of men's suits. He later hosted the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, and was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2005 by Time magazine.[23] He even earned a mention in the world of country music: The narrator of "Play Something Country" by Brooks & Dunn and Sean Okundaye says he "didn't come to hear P Diddy", which he rhymes with "something bumpin' from the city." Combs released his first album for 4 years, Press Play, on October 17, 2006 on the Bad Boy Records label[24] with guest appearances from Christina Aguilera, Keyshia Cole, Business ventures In 2002, he was featured on Fortune magazine's "40 Richest People Under 40" list[28] and was placed number one in the list of the top ten richest people in hip-hop. He has donated undisclosed amounts to the Patricia Kirby Foundation, an organization that battles teenage bulimia, anorexia and other eating disorders. In 2006 his estimated worth was US $346 million, making him one of the 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia richest people in the hip hop entertainment business.[29][4] Sean Combs In late 2006, MSNBC reported, "Macy's has pulled from its shelves and its Web site two styles of Sean John hooded jackets, originally advertised as featuring faux fur, after an investigation by the nation's largest animal protection organization concluded that the garments were actually made from an animal called a 'raccoon dog'". Combs said he had been unaware of the material, but as soon as he knew about it, he had his clothing line stop using the material.[36] In 2008 he appeared in a Macy's commercial. In November 2008, Combs launched his latest men's perfume under the Sean John brand called "I Am King" dedicated to Barack Obama, Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King. In his blog he stated: "There is a black president and it's time for there to be a black Bond".[37] In November 2008, he unveiled a new Times Square billboard for the "I Am King" line to replace his iconic Sean John ad. The giant billboard is currently the largest print ad in Times Square. Sean John Billboard of Combs over Times Square in 2008 (advertising the Sean John clothing line). In 1998, Combs started a clothing line, Sean John. It was nominated for the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Award for Menswear Designer of the Year in 2000,[30] and won in 2004.[31] The clothing line became controversial in 2003 when it was discovered that factories producing the clothing in Honduras were violating Honduran labor law.[32] Among the accusations put forth were that workers were subjected to body searches and paid sweatshop wages.[33] Charles Kernaghan of the National Labor Committee, who first exposed the factory, is quoted in the New York Times as saying, "Sean Puff Daddy obviously has a lot of clout, he can literally do a lot overnight to help these workers."[32] Combs responded that there would be a "zero tolerance" investigation at his company, Sean John. He stated to a group of reporters "I'm as pro-worker as they get."[34] On February 14, 2004, Kernaghann announced on Pacifia station that Combs had made some "unprecedented" changes at factories including adding air conditioning and water purification systems, and allowing a union to form.[35] Other ventures In addition to his clothing line, Combs owns an upscale restaurant chain called Justin's, named after his son. The current restaurant is in Atlanta; the original New York location closed in September 2007.[38] He is the designer of the green Dallas Mavericks alternate jersey.[39] On September 18, 2007, Combs teamed up with 50 Cent and Jay-Z for the "Forbes I Get Money Billion Dollar Remix." He also made appearances with Jay-Z on his American Gangster concert tour in 2007. As of October 2007, Combs has inked a multi-year deal, in which he'll help develop the Ciroc brand, one of Diageo PLC's superpremium Vodka lines, for a 50-50 share in the profits. The agreement is the latest in which a celebrity is going beyond the typical role of endorser to share in a brand's rise and fall. Diageo said the agreement could be worth more than $100 million for Combs and his company, Sean Combs Enterprises, over the course of the deal, depending on how well the brand performs. Since then, he has launched multiple ventures for Ciroc, many of which were featured during the 2008 presidential election. Combs acquired the Enyce clothing line from Liz Claiborne for $20 million on October 21, 2008.[40] Combs also starred in a film 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that was shown on ABC called A Raisin in the Sun. Sean Combs He describes his style in three words: "Swagger. Timeless. Diverse."[46] On September 2, 2007, Combs held his ninth annual "White Party" in which all guests are limited to an all white dress code. The hip-hop mogul's annual White Party, which he has held in St. Tropez in recent years, was held in his Long Island home in East Hampton. It featured a white carpet to go along with the white dress code. Combs stated, "This party is up there with the top three that I've thrown, It's a party that has legendary status. It's hard to throw a party that lives up to its legend."[47] Combs has residences in Manhattan; Alpine, New Jersey; East Hampton, New York; Miami Beach, Florida; and Atlanta, Georgia.

European Shorthair
The European shorthair (or Celtic shorthair) is a breed of short-haired cat originating in Sweden. It's a recently recognised breed established to preserve the naturally occurring cats that have lived in European villages and cities for ages. Many people incorrectly refer to any stray cat as a European Shorthair.
European Shorthair has its counterparts in Great Britain (British Shorthair) and USA (American Shorthair), that have been bred much longer. The British Shorthair however was crossed with Persian Cat and selectively bred to become a cobbier cat with slightly shortened muzzle and thicker coat. It was confusing for Scandinavian breeders that the British Shorthair was also called European Shorthair at that time, even though it looked different. Felinological associations recognized both types of cat as a single breed, meaning they were judged by the same standards during cat shows, until 1982 when FIFE registered the Scandinavian type of European Shorthair as a separate breed with its own standard.
The European Shorthair's dense coat is short, soft and glossy, and should lie flat. All natural colours are permitted, such as black, red, blue and cream, with or without tabby or white markings. Pure white is also permitted. The eye colour corresponds to the coat colour and may be yellow, green or orange. Blue or odd-eyed individuals are permitted if the coat colour is white.
