Select Artists by Genre
A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other types of music.
Music can be divided into genres in many different ways. These classifications are often arbitrary and controversial, and closely related styles often overlap. Many do not believe that generic classification of musical styles is possible in any logically consistent way, and also argue that doing so sets limitations and boundaries that hinder the development of music. While no one doubts that it is possible to note similarities between musical pieces, there are often exceptions and caveats associated. Labeling music with genres often do not reflect a specific culture, race, or time period. Larger genres consist of more specific subgenres.

Chapter C: The Blue Heat of Technology.
The most unfortunate part of the Lindemann-Tizard clashes was that had Lindemann actually stuck to his instructions, instead of veering off on his own tangent, he could have been a great success. On the question of turbine research Lindemann agreed with Tizard; jumping straight to an operational engine was premature and that the next step should be a flying prototype. This verdict, which had been unacceptable when it came from Tizard, was made acceptable to Churchill as it came from "The Prof". On the question of how to get to that flying prototype however things were less straightforward, not out of disagreement over the way forward but due to the lack of an obviously palatable option.
For the RAE's (Royal Aircraft Establishment) turboprop the matter of a flying prototype was simple; Griffith, along with the more practically minded Haine Constan, were dispatched to find a suitable industrial partner to develop the engine. By early summer they had selected Metropolitan-Vickers (Metrovick) one of the leading steam turbine manufacturers who, through the vast Vickers industrial empire, had access to almost any other specialism you cared to mention. On this basis Metrovick were given a standard Air Ministry contract to build and develop Griffith's turboprop engine (i.e. turn a bespoke prototype into an efficient and reliable design ready for flight testing). The engine was to be produced under the direction of the RAE teams and was to be flyable by the summer of 1938, an ambitious goal given the shear size of the laboratory prototypes. While this project would encounter considerable difficulties it was at least commercially straightforward, a stark contrast to the mess around Power Jets. While the promise of the jet engine meant the Air Ministry felt it had to pursue the idea there was no clear way forward, the ideal would have been to separate the wheat (Whittle) from the chaff (Power Jets), however the Four Party Agreement complicated the matter, not to mention the attitude of Whittle himself. The solution to this problem would come from a most unexpected source; the British Army.
Alan Arnold Griffith, a true giant of British engineering. Griffith pioneered countless advances and developments that were crucial to the jet age; his work on metal fatigue shaped a generation of aircraft, his application of aerodynamic theory to turbine design made modern efficient turbines possible and he pioneered the use of 'cascades' to test compressor and turbine performance outside of the wind tunnel, an approach that was (fortunately) ignored by rival nations until well into the 1950s, giving Britain time to build a dominant position in the world engine market. By the mid-1930s Griffith's perfectionist nature had led him to become fixated on theoretically more efficient (but considerably more complex) axial compressor gas turbine, while a natural caution led him to doubt the potential of jet thrust as an efficient means of propulsion. He therefore directed the RAE's research in the direction of the axial turboprop engine, a very different proposition from the relatively simple centrifugal jet engines of Whittle. When the Air Ministry decided to pursue both projects they began a development race between the two projects, made all the more hard fought as both Whittle and Griffith sought to prove the other was wrong.
The slow but steady "sweeping out" of the Army's old guard, or at least some of them, had finally taken with it the Master-General of the Ordnance Lieutenant General Hugh Elles. Replaced as Director of the Mechanisation Branch in the aftermath of the Matilda I debacle he was pushed out of the Ordnance early in 1937, though it would take until the end of the year before he got the hint and finally retired completely. His replacement as the new Master-General was Lieutenant General Frederick Pile, formerly commander of the Canal Brigade Mechanized Force he had had an outstanding Abyssinian War by the simple virtue of being the only armoured unit in Egypt. While his promotion to the Ordnance had been earned it was not entirely on merit, after the mistakes of Elles being 'double hatted' the Army Board wished to hedge their bets with mechanisation. A strong Ordnance would provide a useful counterpoint to the Mechanisation Branch under Major General Martel and, it was hoped, settle any disagreements between the Branch and the Royal Armoured Corps. The impacts of this on armoured design and the mechanisation of the British Army (and others) will be covered in later chapters, for our present purposes it is enough that this appointment prompted a shake-up of the work of the Ordnance and specifically the Ballistic Research Department.
The Ballistics Research Department (BRD) is an excellent example of the complex, but just about logical, world of British military research in the 1930s. A sub-department of the Ordnance based at the vast Royal Arsenal complex in Woolwich, it was notionally an Army unit, devoted to developing and testing shot and shell, from the smallest pistol to the mightiest heavy artillery. Over the years, however, its purpose had mutated somewhat, with a distinct shortage of new shells to test during the 1920s the department had become decidedly more theoretical in it's outlook, using the shell testing to become a centre of expertise on high speed aerodynamics and supersonic research in general. As a result of this drift (and the Army's decidedly stingy pay grades for scientist) the Director of Research was an Air Ministry man, Dr Alvyn Crow, and much of hiw staff was on secondment from either the Royal Aircraft Establishment, the National Physical Laboratory or the Admiralty Research Laboratory.
This had not been a problem with low volumes of actual 'Army' work, the Army Board where happy to get the benefit of high class scientists without paying the wages, while the other services were spared the expense of building their own test sites. This cosy arrangement was disrupted by the ramping up of Ordnance work and the concurrent of appointment of General Pile to oversee it. On the ballistics side there was a flurry of new work; The .256" and 9mm rounds for the next generation of small arms needed modern testing, HE and smoke rounds for the widely used Ordnance QF 2 pounder were under development and the brand new BL 4.5" medium gun needed new general purpose shells as combat experience had indicated a specialist counter battery piece (i.e. one dedicated to destroying enemy artillery) was of limited value. With all this work on, not to mention the more speculative long term research, General Pile decreed the BRD would have to refocus itself back onto purely on Army work.
The brand new QF 3.7 anti-aircraft gun undergoing trials at Woolwich. While the QF 3.7 was being put through its paces elsewhere on the same site the BRD was working on a radical alternative to standard AA guns rockets. The basic problem with an AA gun was inaccuracy; the Ordnance and the BRD expected a single QF 3.7 would need at least 20,000 shots to register a single hit on a high and fast target. With a sustained rate of fire of (at best) 15rpm this meant the gun could expect one hit per 24 hours of continuous firing. To make matters worse the barrel life was expected to be in the region of 7,000 rounds, meaning the gun could be expected to wear through three complete barrels per hit. Taken together this was not a ringing endorsement of the anti-aircraft gun as an efficient or reliable defensive system. In contrast the proposed AA rockets were simplicity itself, with no expensive machinery or parts to wear out the only requirement were simple launching rails and vast numbers of cheap rockets that could be fired in 'barrages' at the target. With a cordite rocket almost as cheap as a shell it was an attractive option, if it worked, and finding that out was one of the Ballistics Department's main roles in the mid 1930s.
While the other services were naturally less than pleased they could hardly argue, there had never been a definite agreement about the use of Woolwich for rocketry work and it was undoubtedly true the Army needed it's ranges back. It was at this stage that the Air Ministry stepped in, proposing a new research establishment dedicated to rocketry research with a permanent base and a generally more secure footing than the ad-hoc arrangements at Woolwich. Quite aside from their genuine interest in rocketry the Air Ministry had realised that such an establishment would be the perfect home for Power Jets and various other speculative programmes, providing laboratories and workshops for experimental work but without the RAF having to shouldering the entire expense. While the other services soon rumbled the Air Ministry's ulterior motive, no-one in Whitehall is ever entirely altruistic, there was still a solid logic behind it; all three services were interested in rocketry and combining their efforts was the cheapest and most sensible option. That did not mean things went smoothly, if nothing else the Air Ministry had to be beaten down from it's overly optimistic hopes of an equal three way split of costs between the services, but by the summer of 1937 a basic agreement was in place.
The Air Ministry would provide and equip the site, with limited assistance from the Army and Admiralty, then all three services plus the civilian science agencies would provide the manpower. The site selected was RAF Martlesham Heath, close to the main rocket testing site at Orford Ness and convenient for the port of Felixstowe were cordite could be shipped in from the Royal Ordnance Factories by coastal freighters. Interestingly the area was already home to two existing research establishments; the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment (MAEE) in Felixstowe, then the subject of an unedifying fight between the RAF (Coastal Command) and the RN (Fleet Air Arm) over control, and the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) which was also based at Martlesham Hall. For Tizard's committee this was not just a happy coincidence, while the proximity to the existing test range at Orford Ness was the main selling point for the other services, Tizard was focused on the experimental workshops and laboratories of those two establishments, either one ripe for considerable expansion in otder to accommodate both rocketry and Power Jets. In the end the tussle with the Royal Navy tipped the balance and it was A&AEE which got the nod, the Air Ministry trying to avoid needlessly aggravating the Admiralty over Felixstowe.
Frank Whittle and Power Jets did not take the news of their move to Martlesham Heath well, particularly the revelation they would not be getting their own facilities but would once again be tacked onto the side of a larger organisation. However there was little they could do, the Ministry had made it perfectly clear that no large grants would be forthcoming unless, and until, Power Jet's backers took up all their shares and made a significant capital investment, something the bankers at O T Falk still refused to do. Restricted by the Official Secrets Act he had signed as part of the Four Party Agreement, and fearful the alternative was seeing his work given to one of the big engine companies he desperately wished to avoid, Whittle re-located, consoling himself with the relative luxury of a well equipped workshop and competent staff to support his work. Before we leave Martlesham Heath it's worth looking in on Power Jet's other neighbour aside from the Rocket Establishment and the A&AEE, the RAFs decidedly unusual 'missile' programme.
It's worth clarifying right at the start the project used the word 'missile' in perhaps the broadest sense of the word; an internally powered weapon that moved itself to the target with some form of guidance mechanism. The RAF had been experimenting with missiles for almost twenty years by this point, ever since 1917 when 'Professor' Archibald Low had produced the remote controlled Ruston Proctor AT (Aerial Target, a code name to mislead spies). The AT was essentially a remotely controlled aircraft, loaded with a large warhead instead of a pilot, and was intended to fly towards the target using remote and/or gyroscopic control and then crash into it. While the initial tests were less than successful, indeed they resulted in the AT programme being cancelled before the War had ended, the idea of a missile remained alluring enough to re-emerge in the 1920s. The concept went through several mutations and at various points aimed at gyro-guided flying bomb, a target missile, a radio controlled air-launched missile, an 'air defence' missile for disrupting and destroying bomber formations and, most interestingly, a missile capable of homing in on enemy radar sites.
Of all of these the most successful was undoubtedly the target missile project which produced several excellent radio controlled gunnery target tugs, notably the Fairey Queen (a modified Fairey IIIF) and the Queen Bee (an equally modified DeHavilland Tiger Moth). The only other success was at best a qualified one, Larynx (Long Range Gun with Lynx engine), was perhaps the world's first anti-ship cruise missile, however it was not a particularly good one. The remote control system was delicate while the powerful Lynx engine was seemingly not well suited to remote control, shedding it's reliable reputation and suffering repeated failures. After a mixed testing programme in Britain, and a disastrous one in the deserts of Iraq, the RAE was forced to abandon field trials of Larynx and return to the drawing board. In truth by the mid 1930s the missile programme was in trouble, while the target aircraft were giving good service the other ideas were raising concerns for the Air Staff even as they overcame the technical challenges. The simple problem was cost; when a light bomber like the new Fairey Firefight was costing £15,000 a unit the estimated £4,000 cost of a one-shot missile was not very attractive, especially as despite all the progress the accuracy still left something to be desired.
It is likely that the entire programme would have been cancelled had it not been for the unintended side effects of one of Air Minister Churchill's earliest decisions at the Ministry. The decision to move the RAF off biplanes and into monoplanes had given the Air Staff a considerable headache, despite the best efforts of the commercial arms of the Foreign Office there was no chance the stockpile of suddenly obsolete biplanes could all be sold on. Indeed there was growing opposition to the sales from the Board of Trade as they feared government 'dumping' was distorting the market for British firms to sell new aircraft into, a not unimportant consideration give the state of the economy and the importance of high value exports. Reluctant to just scrap otherwise brand new aircraft, but with no prospect of being able to more profitably dispose of them, the Air Staff realised this mass obsolescence had comprehensively changed the economics of the missile programme. Without the need to build an aircraft the costs of say the guided missile dropped considerably, falling into the low hundreds of pounds for just the control gear and the warheads.
Thus it was that the missile programme was despatched to Martlesham Heath to join up with the A&AEE and continue it's work, the Air Ministry once again keen to rope the other services, in this case the Admiralty, into spreading the cost by rejuvenating the Larynx anti-ship missile alongside their own priorities. By the summer of 1937 RAF Martlesham Heath had become one of the hubs of aerial research and development in the United Kingdom, with experts on remote control, jets, rockets and experimental aircraft all rubbing shoulders on site and on the test ranges. Just as an extra spice the Orford Ness site was still in use by the experts from the Bawdsey Research Station as they continued to perfect RDF and the Chain Home system. With such a concentration of experts from different but related fields cross-pollination of ideas was inevitable, yet the Air Ministry was still surprised when the feverish atmosphere of experiment, research and testing produced something rather special.
Chapter 100! Huzzahs all round chaps and chapesses, we've made it this far. To celebrate have a monster update on previously obscure R&D porn.
Beginning at the beginning;
Frederick Pile was indeed head of armoured unit around the Suez Canal in 1936 so would have had an excellent war. OTL he ended up in Anti-Aircraft units, eventually being C-in-C of all AA units in the UK for the whole of WW2. This time round he's been diverted, AA units are a lower priority (something has got to give somewhere, AA is one of them) while mechanisation is higher up the tree. Pile had a solid enough background in armoured units, but was basically an artillery man (hence ending up in AA), however he had commanded enough tanks he should be solid enough and will certainly be able to stand up to Martell, if only because he's more senior!
A A Griffith, a man who could (indeed should) have been so much more famous and well regarded. Alas the poor bugger wasted years on axial turbines because he was just too much of a perfectionist. If he'd only focused on centrifugal turbines he could have got the turboprop up and running years earlier, maybe even in time for the Battle of Britain, which would have been fun for all involved. All his inventions are OTL, particularly the 'cascade' which was the only reason Britain kept her jet engine lead in the 1950s despite the government's best efforts.
A Rocket Establishment was in fact created in OTL, but not till 1940 at which point it was fairly low priority and got sent out into the West Country for safety. TTL the Army rearmament is forcing them out of Woolwich and somewhere near the OTL Orford Ness range is the obvious place. The AA guns vs AA rockets was OTL and produced the truly awful Z-batteries and such rubbish as the aerial minefield, hopefully we can avoid that but I make no promises.
So RAF Martlesham Heath, was indeed a big base for Experimental aero work along with Orford Ness and the Felixstowe area. Tempted as I was by Spadeadam for the Blue Streak parallel it just wasn't justifiable so Suffolk it is. Would the Air Ministry actually dump Power Jets out there? Well they didn't trust the bankers in OTL, and had doubts over the technical competency of the firm, so they were never going to just hurl money at them. However they also want to get things done so sending them to an RAF experimental base seemed sensible. However to counter that boost effort is being split three ways; jets, rockets and turboprops instead of a focused plan so it's not exactly perfect for jet porn.
Finally the RAF missile programme, surprisingly that is entirely OTL. While I was aware of Queen Bee and Larynx the rest was all news to me. However the Air Staff did have big plans for missiles for much of the 1920s and 1930s, alas they also had shallow pockets and more urgent priorities so most of the ideas were canned in 1936. However this time round thanks to Churchill they have hundreds of biplanes and nothing to do with them so they're willing to press on a bit longer. Would they send the missiles to the same place as jets and rockets? Maybe, it was the experimental aircraft testing base in OTL so it's not that odd a choice, what is an unmanned biplane with a bomb in it but an experimental aircraft?
Game Effect: If you haven't already guessed, I've stuck a rocket testing site into the queue.

It was listed in the index under Lucia DIRAIMONDO, although clearly the name was recorded as Lucia LUCE.

My summary of the act:
The act was created on February 18, 1888 at the town hall in Villalba, Italy.
The child was presented by Rosolino VITA, age 30, farmer, resident of the town. He declared parents are unknown but child was born/discovered on February 15 at 11:30 in the morning. The female child is given the name Lucia. It goes on to list the information of the two witnesses.
The margin notes are interesting. Not sure if I am interpreting them correctly.
1888 the 6th day of March in Villalba (this is when notation was made?)
Calogero DiRaimondo and Carmela Vasta were married and the marriage was recorded Act #9 in the register of the corresponding year.

About ECM
January 11 , 2010
Schoeck's Notturno featuring on Alex Ross' list "2009: Ten exceptional recordings"
Overwhelming critical acclaim for
, Swiss composer Othmar Schoecks all but forgotten five movements for string quartet and voice on poems by Nikolaus Lenau and a fragment by Gottfried Keller. The 45-minute song cycle of 1933 was released on ECM in October in a recording by the much-lauded German baritone Christian Gerhaher and the Rosamunde Quartett and has since been hailed as an outstanding interpretation and an exquisite addition to the repertoire. Some reviewers have drawn comparisons to Schoenbergs second string quartet or to the Lyric suite by Alban Berg.
In his selection of ten exceptional recordings of 2009 The New Yorkerss Alex Ross confesses: Lately Ive fallen under the autumnal spell of Notturno On an immaculate ECM production, Christian Gerhaher sings with hushed intensity, and the infinitely gentle C-major chaconne that enters at the end is like a secret gift to the patient listener. Rosss New Yorker colleague Russell Platt calls the new recording "radiant" and the Gottfried Keller set one of the most astonishing moments in twentieth-century art.
More praise comes from Hilary Finch in BBC Music Magazine: The work was championed by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and he could hardly wish for a better successor here than Christian Gerhaher: gentler, more intimate and less magisterial than Fischer-Dieskau, but with the same strong and impassioned musical intelligence. The Rosamunde Quartet play with both textural and structural clarity (especially in the 17-minute first movement), yet with a fragile, tremolous inner ardour which makes Schoecks obsessively reiiterated and transforming themes rise out of his troubled consciousness and are brought vividly in our own.
In The Philadelphia Inquirer David Patrick Stearns is no less impressed: The performance is optimum. The Rosamunde Quartet finds expressive immediacy in what could often be heard as poetic ambiguity Though Lenaus verse is a bit flowery in a Biedermeier sort of way, Gerhaher treats it to an imaginative range of vocal color, but with a tone more yielding than Fischer-Dieskaus. I could listen to him all day.
Rémy Louis from the French magazine Diapason labels the new recording as the most stark and introverted version of a work which is austere in itself: It will stun everybody who is up to the experience. This black diamond stands by itself: its world is self-sufficient.
Further enthusiastic reviews were published, among others, in Neue Zürcher Zeitung (a haunting musical experience), Sueddeutsche Zeitung (a dramatic imaginary scene transported into the darker nightmarish layers by the strings) or Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (fascinating as it is at first listening, this album reveals its many illuminative facets only at repeated encounters.)

Now is the time to go after DeMarcus Cousins
and with the 12th pick, The New York Football Giants select ......Odell Beckham Jr, Wide Reciever from Louisana State University
Guys a real head case. I wonder what team will actually bite if he's on the market.
I hope us. I think he needs a change of scenery. He'll be closer to Alabama here, and I just want him. He's the best up n coming big talent out there
and with the 12th pick, The New York Football Giants select ......Odell Beckham Jr, Wide Reciever from Louisana State University
There's no denying he has the talent. He kind of reminds me of a mini Bynum though how immature he is. But we would have to give up some 1st round draft pick and maybe Nicholson or Harkless in return
Wow he just fired his current agent and hired no one else but Dan Fegan, Dwight's old agent.
I'll put the odds of landing him at 10%
Yea Noway we deal with fegan and Noway fegan talks him into coming to Orlando if anything he would do his best to talk him out of it

I mean I'd assume they would want a combo of youth and picks in return. But we'd probably have to include both Drew and Moe and this years 1st.
Not sure if you're face-palming me or the offer...

|Walt Weiss should bring energy to the Rockies.
For whatever reason, baseball has a way of making even the biggest pessimist a believer. Maybe when pitchers and catcher report to Arizona and Florida, there has been just enough cold and snow to make people a little crazy.
The Colorado Rockies, fresh off of their worst season in 20 years of playing baseball, didn't give their fans much to be excited about in the offseason. Despite losing 98 games, the Rockies did next to nothing over the winter.
There have been years in which Rockies fans haven't had much to root for, but in 2013, the optimists forgot to show up. The morale among Rockies faithful is at an all-time low, for good reason.
Maybe because it is spring, maybe because a long winter erases memories of horrible baseball, but there is reason for Rockies fans to be excited. This Rockies team has the potential to surprise people.
Make no mistake, barring a miracle, the 2013 Rockies won't be playing in October. However, there are reasons to believe that they will finish far better than in 2012. In fact, this team could potentially finish in the neighborhood of .500.
The Rockies didn't make many changes, but one change that caused the cynics to scoff may end up being the best move the Rockies could have hoped for.
Jim Tracy was by all accounts a phenomenal human being. He cared about his players, he cared about the organization, he wanted to win. All of those things are great qualities. The only problem, he was a terrible manager.
Blessed with an incredible vocabulary, Jim Tracy used his words to craft excuses night in and night out. After games in which Tracy clearly misused his bench, poorly handled his bullpen and completely mismanaged the game, he was a sure-bet to blame his starting pitcher, or tip his hat to the other team.
Those excuses got old, and more importantly, that attitude seemed to permeate the clubhouse, as players started to point fingers at each other. They also started to act as if they were always the underdogs, and any win was almost unexpected.
Walt Weiss, despite never managing a game above the high school level, brings a fresh perspective. He doesn't bring a perspective of someone who has been jaded by the fact that in baseball, losing three times a week is still pretty good. He played under both Tony LaRussa and Bobby Cox for eight of his 13 full seasons.
If Weiss manages the way he played the game, he will be intense, hard-working, and never making excuses. He will constantly be demanding that players don't accept situations, but that they push forward and get the most out of their talent.
That demeanor is exactly what the Rockies have been missing for the past three seasons. That style should also resonate well with Troy Tulowitzki, the best player in a Rockies uniform. Instead of a message that contradicts Tulowitzki's, Weiss will reinforce the message.
In addition to Weiss, fans quickly forget that Tulowitzki himself wasn't around much in 2012. Tulo saw his season end after just 47 games last season before ultimately seeing his season end due to a groin injury. Missing that aspect of the lineup cannot be understated. Not only is Tulo the best player on the field for the Rockies, but his presence makes everyone in the lineup better.
Carlos Gonzalez instantly sees more fastballs with Tulo healthy. Those two hitters change the dynamics of the Rockies lineup enough to win a handful of more games than they did in 2012.
Of course, fans can talk all day long about the managerial change and the added pieces to the lineup that will change the course of the 2013 season. However, the fact is, success for the Rockies hinges on one thing, the guys standing on a 10-inch hill standing 60 feet, six inches away from home plate.
A miserable failure in 2012, the Rockies failed to address their biggest issue, starting pitching.
The Rockies posted a team ERA of 5.22, a complete embarrassment. In 2013. Every March, the answer always seems to be the same from the Rockies. If a couple of the young pitchers turn the corner, the pitching will be fine. Well, that answer is wearing thin on fans. However, it is still true. Drew Pomeranz, the centerpiece of the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, is still learning. Bear in mind, he pitched just over 100 minor league innings before making his debut. He was also good enough to be selected fifth overall in 2010. The talent is there, whether it all comes together is still a debate.
In addition to Pomeranz is Juan Nicasio. While the righty is far from young, turning 27 in August, he is still getting his feet wet in the big leagues. He has started just 24 games before two separate injuries ended his seasons. If Nicasio can find another pitch, he has All-Star stuff.
The third piece is Jhoulys Chacin was once a top prospect for the Rockies. His season didn't go as planned in 2012, but injury derailed his season in May, but after comments about being out of shape from Dan O'Dowd came out in spring training, the Rockies ace didn't want to admit injury, perhaps making things worse. Regardless, he should be better, especially if he throws his changeup to right-handers at the same rate that he did in 2011.
The Rockies will improve by the simple fact that Jeremy Guthrie, who proved to be a mental midget with his performance and postgame comments at Coors Field, will be closer to sea level in Kansas City.
When it comes to pitching, there are a ton of "ifs." If everything comes together exactly right, the Rockies will be successful. The odds of that are slim. The pitching is really a huge question mark. However, they will be better. If for no other reason, the young pitchers should gain more experience that will help them.
The reality is, this Rockies team is far from contention. Yet, they should be more fun to watch. They should play with more energy, and they should be a better team. That alone should make them more fun to watch.

This fridge is a replacement for a bottom freezer model that had to be replaced. This top freezer model is old school but still looks great. There is plenty of room. I agree with another review that it is a little dark without an overhead light. Another review also mentioned how low it is but it does clear the top of my foot. The "bell" for the door being open is a little too quiet. Did not get the model with the inside water because Hubby wants less fluff. Main thing is to keep my food cold and look good. Hope I can still say I love it in a few years.

It's a great refrigerator, but not set up as great inside as it could be. With 24 cu.ft., it should be huge inside, but the large cold cut drawer takes away from shelf space. It seems like there's no place for food on the shelves. It has less space inside than my previous fridge that was 20 cu.ft.--because of that full width drawer. The doors have a good amount of space and areas are adjustable. Ice maker is noisy and makes only 6 cubes at a time.

After waiting for a little over 2 weeks for my new refrigerator/freezer delivery, my new refrigerator was delivered and placed in my kitchen. Unfortunately, the door handle did not line up with the freezer handle and when I went to open the refrigerator door, the handle bracket was broken on top of the door. I did not notice this flaw until after the delivery persons left my home. I went back to the store, and was told I could get a replacement refrigerator delivered in three more weeks and that I could use the flawed refrigerator until the new refrigerator was delivered. I am looking forward to using my Kenmore refrigerator for many more years in the future...

I love the size of this refrigerator and the lighting. The freezer section is fine as far as cooling but the refrigerator section does not stay cold enough even on the highest "cold" setting. Also, you have to get in the habit of standing to the side when you open it or you will hit the top of your foot every time! My husband has offered to put it up on blocks to prevent this, but I would have to tear out some cabinets above the refrigerator. Not very pleased with it.

It is a big refrigerator. The LED lighting in the refrigerator is not well thought out. It needs an LED panel on the top or in the back of the refrigerator. Wasted space under the deli drawer. This unit is NOT that loud. The icemaker is LOUD!!!!! Freezer is big and lit well. Seems to hold temperature well in both top and bottom parts. Came with a broken leveler and doors were not switched to the other side, as stated when ordering at the store. Delivery men switched the doors and a serviceman fixed the leveler. Love the door handles. Keeps a lot of fingerprints off the doors. I would purchase again. The biggest draw back is Sears Russian roulette of pricing. Bought it on sale, got a discount for using the sears mastercard and a coupon for $35.00 off. The next day checked price and it had gone down $60.00. Went back to the store and got the money off the price I paid the day before. Two days later it was $90.00 cheaper. Went back to the store and got the money discounted off the price again. The next day the price was $400.00 more. Kept checking the price for 2 weeks. Up and down,up and down. I need a diswasher and range also. Kept them in my cart and watched the price fluctuate by more than $500.00 over a month period. Now before I buy these two items I check my cart for the price of the day. This is crazy.

Con: Little too large to fit into older home fridge area, had to trim cupboard. Otherwise very satisfied with purchased.

We love this refrigerator, there is a place for everything. Like the led light in the freezer makes it easier to find items.

I was a bit concerned after reading some of the reviews about how noisy this refrigerator is. This is the quietest one I have ever owned. Ice maker works fast and keeps us with plenty. I love that it has smooth door and handles because it is so much easier to keep clean than the vinyl with the pits that most have. Lots more room than the side by side I had. You do have to be sure your foot is not in the way when you open the door as it is lower than older models.

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Medjool Dates
The last time that I came across medjool dates I tried stuffing them with cream cheese and the sweet and savoury combination was really good. Since then I came across the idea of taking it one step further and wrapping the stuffed dates in bacon! You really just can't go wrong adding bacon to anything and I immediately knew that I would have to try it the next time that I came across some medjool dates. You can stuff the dates with pretty much anything and this time I went with my favorite cheese, gorgonzola and some spicy chorizo sausage. I was also thinking that almonds or even pieces of olives would also make a good date filling. The bacon wrapped stuffed dates are pretty easy to make. You just need to pit the dates, stuff, them, wrap them and then bake them for a few minutes. For the amount of effort these take to make, they are so worth it! The salty bacon wrapping goes so well with the sweet medjool dates! I really enjoyed both the tangy gorgonzola and the spicy Spanish chorizo sausage fillings. These bacon wrapped stuffed medjool dates would make a welcome addition to any party and with them being in season now they would be a perfect appetizer for your Thanksgiving dinner.
Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Medjool Dates(makes 4 servings)
Printable Recipe
16 medjool dates
gorgonzola cheese (or other cheese or chorizo or almonds, etc.)
8 slices bacon (cut in half)
1. Cut the dates open along one side and remove the pits.
2. Stuff the dates with their filling and wrap each in a slice of bacon.
3. Place the bacon wrapped dates into a baking pan with the seam of the bacon down.
4. Bake in a preheated 425F oven until the bacon is cooked and slightly crispy, about 12-16 minutes, flipping once in the middle.
5. Let cool and enjoy.

Kiss Set For 21-Date Summer Tour
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
Kiss has just announced a 19-date Canadian run for this summer. The New York City legends will kick off their summer trek on July 5th in Victoria, British Columbia and, as of now, wrap things up on August 16th in Orlando, Florida. Pollstar posted that the tour will take in stops in Vancouver, British Columbia; Edmonton, Alberta; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Ottawa, Ontario; and Montreal. In addition to the tour-closing final date in Orlando, the only other U.S. show is set for July 20th in Cadott, Wisconsin at Rock Fest at Chippewa Valley Festival Grounds.
Paul Stanley told us that he looks at the big picture when considering Kiss' career: "When you think of Muhammad Ali, you think of him as the champ. You don't think of the times he lost -- and he did. I'd rather think of us in those terms. Nobody stays on top all the time, but who's been champ longest?"
Gene Simmons told us that despite the knocks Kiss has received from the rock press over the years, that sometimes in rock n' roll, style actually makes for excellent substance: "Y'know, every few years there's a kind of born-again thing that happens with Kiss, a kick in the butt. And despite the naysayers and whoever else we have long since buried in our backyards of mansions that bad reviews built us -- we all live and die by the masses. So interestingly enough, the movies that I go see, that I love, when I read the reviews, I'm shocked because I always get the sense, 'Oh, they must have seen a different movie.' So when I go see G.I. Joe, or Transformers, or some of the other great thrill-rides; This ain't Shakespeare! (Laughs) But it also doesn't pretend to be. That's not why I'm going. I wanna see the world blow up."
UPDATED: Kiss tour dates (subject to change):

|The Time Change Method and SDEs with Nonnegative Drift
Using the time change method we show how to construct a solution to the stochastic equation $dX_t=b(X_{t-})dZ_t+a(X_t)dt$ with a nonnegative drift $a$ provided there exists a solution to the auxililary equation $dL_t=[a^{-1/\alpha}b](L_{t-})d\bar Z_t+dt$ where $Z, \bar Z$ are two symmetric stable processes of the same index $\alpha\in(0,2]$. This approach allows us to prove the existence of solutions for both stochastic equations for the values $0<\alpha<1$ and only measurable coefficients $a$ and $b$ satisfying some conditions of boundedness. The existence proof for the auxililary equation uses the method of integral estimates in the sense of Krylov.
Keywords:One-dimensional SDEs, symmetric stable processes, nonnegative drift, time change, integral estimates, weak convergence

Hi all
I'm Kelly, wife to Richard and Mum to Taylor (6g), James (2b) and a new one due in September. We live in Perth (yep the yucko city hehe) and we are planning on taking the leap to camping later this year!
Is there anyone out there that can possibly tell me that I'm not completely crazy to consider camping whilst pregnant?
Also, if anyone knows of some awesome family friendly camping spots in the South West of WA, I'd love to hear about them! :D
Also, if anyone has any advice for some almost first time campers (at least havent been camping for the last 10 years or more!) that would be great too!

Made from stretch-woven soft shell fabric, the Rab Men's Exodus Jacket offers versatility for backpacking, traveling, climbing and everyday use. The lightweight, breathable design allows it be worn year-round in mild to cool weather conditions.
When Rab Carrington started a small company in 1981, he was relying on his extensive experience gained on bold, lightweight first ascents to design and manufacture down clothing and sleeping bags of the highest quality. This equipment had to meet the needs of a new breed of lightweight alpinist using techniques pioneered by Rab himself. This equipment had to be designed 'for the most extreme conditions in the world'.
To this day that ethos lives on. The range of product offered may have expanded dramatically but the core values of quality and performance live on. The Rab range now encompasses all layers from the skin out and makes best use of our close relationship with all our fabric and component suppliers to produce lighter, more breathable, durable and comfortable clothing allowing mountaineers to push their limits in the most hostile of environments.
Backcountry Edge is proud to be an authorized Rab dealer.

Billy Joel Would Work With Elton John Again
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Billy Joel says that he doesn't hold a grudge against Elton John for talking publicly about his personal life. In his recent interview with The New York Times Magazine, Billy addressed Elton's critiques of Billy retirement from music, his drinking -- and even the type of rehab he checked himself in to. When asked about Elton's claim that Billy has quit writing rock songs out of laziness, Billy responded, "That's his opinion. I don't do it because I don't wanna. He tends to shoot off his mouth -- he shoots from the hip. I think his heart is in the right place. Maybe he's trying to motivate me, to get me mad or something. He's kind of like a mom."
Elton had previously gone on record as stating that Billy had pretty much quit their last Face To Face joint tour in 2010 -- a point which Billy has long maintained wasn't the case: "There was a misunderstanding -- this is my theory, and I haven't spoken to him directly about it yet. I think his booking agent told Elton that I was going to continue touring with him, and they were already counting the money to do the stadiums. But I never agreed to do it. I finished every date that I had agreed to do. When Elton heard that I wasn't going to play, he got very bugged, very disappointed and very angry maybe."
Billy went on to explain that although the pair has worked closely for 20 years, they're hardly the best of friends: "He doesn't know anything about my private life. I stayed at his house once in France. He's a very friendly, charming man, a nice fun guy, but we really never spent much time personally together. He doesn't really know that much about me, so I let a lot of that slide. I'd work with him again, sure."
When we last caught up with Elton John, he told us that he remains convinced that Billy will put aside the classical compositions and once again roll up his sleeves and write popular music again: "Y'know, he's not a rock n' roll artist -- he's a great songwriter. And great songwriters always write songs. And there'll be songs coming from Billy Joel's piano again. I'm always saying, 'Come on, come on, come on, come on,' but in good time, he'll do it again."

Hi: 10° Lo:3°
By Ian Dipple Friday 04 January 2013 Updated: 08/01 14:31
CALLS have been made for police bosses to put more bobbies on the beat after research revealed officers from West Mercia are spending just over a tenth of their time on the streets.
According to the statistics, West Mercia Police had just 12.6 per cent of its officers and PCSOs 'visible and available' to the public at any one time.
That equates to 14 available for every £10million spent by the force - an average cost of £722,589.
The figures were released by the TaxPayers' Alliance, using data from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC).
Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers Alliance, called on police chiefs to ensure they were cutting unnecessary red tape getting in the way of frontline policing.
"Many police forces can do more to use their resources efficiently and get more of their officers out on the front line fighting crime.
"Of course the police have some important work to do that will sometimes legitimately stop them being available for visible policing, but the large differences between forces suggests some are giving taxpayers much better value for money."
A West Mercia Police spokeswoman said officers were deployed based on need and the nature of their work, which meant not all officers would be visible to the public while on duty and many did not carry out traditional 'bobbies on the beat' roles, such as CID officers working on a murder investigation in an incident room.
"We recognise there is a popular view police visibility lowers crime levels, however day-to-day experience shows that crime falls for a wide variety of reasons and officer visibility is just one of the tactics available to help drive crime down." The force also pointed out crime had fallen.
West Mercia's Police and Crime Commissioner Bill Longmore said: "As it is not entirely clear how these figures were calculated I would not want to comment on them specifically at this stage.
"However, I would reassure residents of West Mercia that ensuring the force has as visible a policing presence as possible across the three counties is something I see as a priority."
He reiterated what the force spokesperson said regarding officers being deployed according to need, also using the example of CID officers working on a murder investigation.
"Ensuring the balance is right to provide the people of West Mercia with the service they deserve is definitely something Chief Constable David Shaw and I will continue to monitor as we move forward," he added.

From the mountains in the north to the tropical climate of the south, Vietnam is a country of natural beauty.
Rice fields stretch for miles alongside beautiful waterways, whilst visitors to the bustling cities of Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi will find an exhilarating mix of traditional pagodas and cosmopolitan shopping centres.
Vietnam is a country replete with spectacular and diverse natural beauty, most of which are unexplored and untouched. Officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, it is bordered by Laos, Cambodia and the People's Republic of China.
Lofty peaks, dense woods, riverine valleys and massive deltas make up the diverse and striking terrain of Vietnam. From the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City to the limestone karst mountains of Halong Bay, it has a truly unique culture and terrain.
The culture in Vietnam also has an excellent mix of the old and new. Largely influenced by Chinese and French colonial cultures, the Vietnamese have maintained their uniqueness by combining their ethnic lifestyles with external influences. In the villages surrounding the Mekong delta, life continues as it has been for centuries with proudly-worn traditional costumes, food and lifestyle.
The beauty of the country, the warmth of its people and the richness of its culture all make Vietnam a truly charming place to visit.

County Kerry locals are debating whether to include the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher's great grandmother in their new local guidebook for the Sheen Valley area.
Bonane Community Council chairman Stephen O'Sullivan commented that the connection was part of local heritage and the community may wish to celebrate it. He said the council will discuss including the site at a public meeting this Friday.
Commenters do not seem enthusiastic about the addition. One comment responding to a Belfast Telegraph article on the subject said, "I wouldn't boast about it." A similar comment to an Independent article said, "How embarrassing to be related to her."
Thatcher's great grandmother Catherine Sullivan was born in Drominassig in Bonane, Co Kerry in 1811. The ruins of her home in Drominassig sit between Bonane and Kenmare.
Sullivan emigrated to England and married Thomas Smith, a farm laborer. Their daughter Ellen married shoemaker Benjamin Ebenezer Roberts. Their son Alfred was Thatcher's father.
Thatcher is a largely unpopular figure in Ireland. She refused to give concessions to the hunger strikers or recognize them as political prisoners in 1981. During the hunger strikes, violence increased in Northern Ireland. Thatcher showed no regret for the death of Bobby Sands or the other nine hunger strikers who died. She evaded an assassination attempt by the IRA on October 12, 1984 at the Brighton Hotel. Five people were killed in the attack.
On November 15, 1988, Thatcher and Taoiseach Garret Fitzgerald signed the Anglo-Irish Agreement, in which the British government gave the government of the Republic of Ireland an advisory role in Northern Irish affairs for the first time.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has confirmed that Thatcher's funeral will take place next Wednesday, April 17. Her funeral service will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London and she will receive full military honors. The 87 year old former Prime Minister died of a stroke at the Ritz Hotel in London on April 8.

Bluetooth not working here with Live image from 11 April, also not working with Gnome3 PPA under Ubuntu 11.04 .
Also "Bluetooth is disabled", in combination with the grayed out "power" button is confusing and not very helpful IMHO.
Phoronix: Fedora Needs Your Help Testing GNOME 3.0
With Canonical ditching the GNOME 3.0 Shell in favor of their custom-developed Unity Desktop, one of the first Linux distributions where you'll see GNOME 3.0 shipping in full "out of the box" is Fedora 15. Fedora 15 is set to be released at the end of May, but a beta release happens to be coming out today. Additionally, this Thursday they're looking for your help in testing out GNOME 3.0...
Bluetooth not working here with Live image from 11 April, also not working with Gnome3 PPA under Ubuntu 11.04 .
Also "Bluetooth is disabled", in combination with the grayed out "power" button is confusing and not very helpful IMHO.
If Gnome developers made some sort of source code/bin package that can run standalone on target machine(providing no X running).
Lets say: you download code, unpack it, compile it in one folder and try executable from there, instead of system wide installation.
I'd love to try out gnome, but i dont feel like firing up Live CD and from KVM - whole thing fails, as it seems hardware acceleration IS REQUIREMENT!
So those with worse hardware - it will simply fail!
It's sad that the Debian/Ubuntu branches are fracturing and distros like Fedora and SuSe are setting the tone for gnome.
I got it to work using the hciconfig program manually (as root). This program has very similar options to ifconfig in some respects, so if you already know ifconfig, hciconfig shouldn't be too wildly different.
First of all, it's almost guaranteed that your bluetooth device shows up as "hci0" to hciconfig.
hciconfig hci0
is going to give information analogous to
ifconfig eth0
What I needed to do, though, aside from
hciconfig hci0 up
is to run
hciconfig hci0 piscan
"pscan" is Page Scan; "iscan" is Inquiry Scan; and "piscan" is both together. Once I did this, I was able to pair with my Android phone and access files on it over FTP.
And of course I acknowledge that it should work using the Gnome3 UI, but we have a workaround for now so that you can set up your bluetooth device(s) and get on with testing other things. But please do report your problem to Fedora, and specify your Bluetooth chipset (I'm not sure if the problem is hardware-specific or not).
As Rahul says, the nightly builds available are quite outdated; there's an issue with nightly composes ATM and the ones from 11 April have old packages as they were built while Beta freeze was in operation. Beta itself has later versions of a few critical things, but still doesn't have full GNOME 3.0 final.
There will be a custom live image for the Test Day with all the latest available GNOME 3.0 packages. I'm currently building and testing that, and it will go live on the Test Day wiki page shortly. That will be the recommended image to use for testing.
The Bluetooth problem looks likely more of a kernel issue than a bug in the GNOME 3 interface; it looks like there simply isn't support for your Bluetooth adapter. But if it works in a different desktop, maybe it is a GNOME bug.
So far I've tested multi-monitor; multi-monitor hotplugging (1xLVDS, 1xVGA); bluetooth 2.1; advanced 3d (Trine, OilRush, MMT, Penumbra Overture); suspend to RAM; logout/login; pulseaudio local on Intel HDA and remote to a Windows PA daemon; OpenSUSE guest in VirtualBox (installed from packages on virtualbox.org); Intel chipset 802.11n; Quassel (a Qt4 app); Skype (also a Qt4 app); LibreOffice; and the new IcedTea-web plugin.
Out of that long list, I've had very, very few issues, and just two that I couldn't manage to resolve. My keyboard's "sleep key" (Fn + F4 on the ThinkPad X61) works on a cold boot, but it stops working after the first successful resume. I can still suspend and resume endlessly by clicking the "Suspend" option in the panel in the top-right corner, but the hardware key only does anything if I have suspended zero times so far since my last cold boot.
Other than that, all the GUIs in the interface of Gnome2, Gnome3 and Qt4 apps look native, and I haven't had any gnome-shell or mutter crashes in weeks of use. Performance on this slow old chipset is fantastic; it's even smoother than using r600g on a Radeon HD5970. I still haven't figured out why I get long pauses (1 - 4 seconds) when I click on the Activities menu (or move the mouse to the top-left) on r600g, but I can't reproduce the problem using i965, despite using the same packages from Fedora.
allquixotic: yes, if you're running an installed F15 pre-release with regular updates, that's fine for testing too.

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
city, Montreal region, southern Quebec province, Canada, on the south shore of Ile de Montreal (Montreal Island), at the head of the Lachine Rapids of the St. Lawrence River. Settlement of the site began in 1668, when Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, established a fortified townsite first known as Saint-Sulpice and later as La Petite Chine, or Lachine. Surviving an Iroquois Indian massacre in 1689, the community grew as a trade junction and western terminus of the Lachine Canal, 8 miles (13 km) long, bypassing the Lachine Rapids, built in the 1820s. In the 1850s the Montreal Aqueduct was built through the town from Lac Saint-Louis to serve the growing metropolis to the north. The origin of the name La Salle dates to 1912, when a group of townspeople moved to the modern site of Lachine, taking that name with them and allowing the old town of Lachine to become incorporated as a city under the name of its founder, La Salle. Following World War II, La Salle was engulfed by the spread of Montreal (in 1959 it joined the Montreal Metropolitan Corporation) and became primarily a residential suburb. Among the products manufactured there are alcoholic beverages, food products, roofing materials, plastics, chemicals, fabricated steel, pharmaceuticals, boxes, and heating and cooling equipment. Fleming Mill, a four-story conical windmill built in 1816, is a city landmark. La Salle is linked to Caughnawaga, on the south bank of the St. Lawrence, by the Honore-Mercier Bridge. Inc. 1912. Pop. (1991) 73,804.

Admittedly, we series purists weren't going to like whatever season finale that replacement showrunners David Guarascio and Moses Port put together for the fourth year of Community. Or, as we've come to think of it, the first year of a half-hocked Community live-action cartoon spin-off. Ever since the pair took over for the ousted Dan Harmon, they've managed little more than a legion of The New Scooby Doo Movies episodes, capitalizing on the appeal of familiar characters but losing their spirit entirely. Having approached the season straight out the gate prepared for this schematic has helped me to feel too badly about all of the turns it took with the characters. As far as I, and many of my fellow Greendale devotees are concerned, Community ended with the Season 3 finale. And ended well. So, Season 4 was really just morbid curiosity and a way to past post-work time on Thursdays before Parks and Recreation. As such, the season has been moreover harmless.
Yes, there have been offenses taken: Annie's regression to obsessive schoolgirl, a form from which she evolved in Season 3 (re: the stellar "Virtual Systems Analysis"), Troy and Britta's break-up (I'm not saying they needed to stay together forever, but the relationship was built on a slow, steady, charming ground; to demolish it out of nowhere seemed cheap and synthetic), the penultimate "Heroic Origins" (a good idea, and one that could have been well-executed under Harmon, but that seemed to undercut the characters and their otherwise vivid personal histories). But the worst jab taken at the golden era of Community comes in the Season 4 finale, "Advanced Introduction to Finality." And it takes form in a single throw-away one-liner.
The episode kicks off with Jeff reuniting with his old partner (Joe Lo Truglio), a good-natured but very lawyerly lawyer, agreeing to take on a position at his budding firm out of town. The idea of this venture brews anxiety in Jeff, who is afraid to leave his seat at the study group table and transform back into his seedy, pre-Greendale self, and to lose touch with his nontraditional family. Jeff transfers this anxiety to Abed, whom he insists will not be able to handle his dismissal from Greendale and the group, aiming to provoke this revelation and prove his absence a bad idea by hearkening back to the catastrophes of "Remedial Chaos Theory" — Jeff brings a die to the study group table to determine who will pick up soda for his graduation party, tosses it up in the air, and sets into motion a series of eye-rolling events.
The episode calls back to a slew of important Community episodes: "Chaos Theory," in the entry of the Dark Timeline characters into the primary universe (Evil Jeff figures out how to cross into the characters' canon, bent on sending Jeff down a path of evil), "First Chang Dynasty," in the reintroduction of Napoleon Chang and the Deanelganger/Doppeldeaner (they reign supreme in the Dark Timeline), and, of course, the paintballs. See, the Evils bring timeline-warping paintball guns to switch places with their counterparts — Abed is transported to the negative world, where he must learn from Evil Abed how to stop Evil Jeff and Evil Annie.
If you've already got a headache, I don't blame you. The episode is as convoluted as it is thoughtless, a rare combination.
But the most specifically scathing element comes in a solitary remark made by Abed, who, in his ever present meta commentary, calls this turn of events the only way that they could have made paintball "cool again." This is an affront to the majesties of Harmon, assuming not only comparability to "Modern Warfare" and the "A Fistfull of Paintballs" episodes, but superiority. This episode seems to think that it improves on the creations of "Remedial Chaos Theory," "Virtual Systems Analysis," and "First Chang Dynasty," while it is really just a bastardization of the elements crafted so eloquently within them. Community never did anything just because it was cool, not prior to Harmon's leave. It's episodes were thoughtful and suggestive. Not candy.
Stomachache-inducing, teeth-rotting, not-even-very-good-tasting candy.
And this is the legacy of Season 4 of Community: it took something wonderful and stocked with merit and used it for surface value lunacy. The finale might have contributed one last piece to Jeff's growth: the realization that he doesn't need to stay at Greendale to be the person Greendale made him, that he'll carry that, and his family, with him forever. This is a good lesson, but not one well-delivered in light of the absurd laser show that is this episode, and past year altogether. Luckily, we have the Season 3 finale: a worthy ending to an unparalleled series. Season 4 might have done its best to infuse itself into the Community chronology, but those of us who didn't enjoy it don't have to accept it as part of the story. What we got from our good years at Community is a lot like what Jeff got from Greendale. It might no longer be with us, tangibly, but it will always be with us in essence.
See? A good lesson. Too bad it was surrounded by all that other nonsense.

In 1998, the Travelers Group and Citicorp merged to create Citigroup Inc., considered the first true global "financial supermarket," and a business model to be envied, feared and emulated. By year-end 2006 the firm had a market capitalization of $274 billion, with $1.9 trillion in assets and $24.6 billion in earnings. But ten years after the merger it ended in tears. In July of 2009, the firm was effectively nationalized, with billions of dollars in bailout money converted into a 34% ownership stake for the U.S. government. Citigroup was worth less than $16 billion, having lost more than $250 billion in value from its peak. This case examines Citi's business model, challenges it faced, its leadership and key decisions to better understand what contributed to the failure of one of the most powerful financial firms in the world.
learning objective:
To understand the different issues that contributed to the failure of the firm - business model, acquisition strategy, leadership, ethics, inappropriate risk management, poor management/leadership.
