Misc. Comments
On the cover page, Breitkopf advertises the piece as "für Flöte und Streichorchester (5 Str.)" It is unclear whether they are just selling 5 parts in the set, or whether it is really intended to be played with single strings. Compared to other works advertised on the page, e.g. "Schumann, Op.86. Konzertstück für 4 Hörner, F dur. (26 St.)", the number in brackets seems to be the number of string parts sold in the set.
- St. is, I'm sure, Stimme. Not sure if there are 26 separate parts sold with the Schumann- quite possibly. Str. - streicher - is something else of course- and I'm left unsure what's meant too. Eric 20:47, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Super Street Fighter 4 dialogue transcription by Kenshiro. Cent208, BreakingDishesz and Shannaro transcribed the Street Fighter 4 dialogue.
Godamn I love these. It's kinda nice not to have the ability to hear them all because it retains its mystery for replay value later_^)"Perhaps you should consider hanging up your gloves for good." Dudley to Balrog after ultra. "You're an embarrassment to boxing!"
Honestly that Chun Li vs Juri dialogue is hilarious double entendre XD I'd bet Juri caught it(she did start it up afterall^^), but Chun probably never realised what she just said XD
Hey, I'd like to help out, too. I just replayed Dan and T. Hawk's Arcade mode, and heard a few more things they say:
"Combos are a fighter's greatest tool" (apparently when doing a combo)
"Looks like you owe me lunch, kiddo" (winning with ultra)
"Oops, sorry about that, kiddo"(normal victory)
"Master and Pupil, duke it out!" (not sure what the soecifications on this one are.
El Fuerte dialouge: "This is a new move, amigo" (using ultra two)
There's a quote for a ton of things the characters do.
First hit.
Combo of X hits.
Combo of X hits.
Super stock maxed.
Ultra stock half.

One that stands out that's missing from the list is when Gouken says, "I have nothing left to teach you." after beating Ryu with his Ultra.
I gotta say, thank you for putting work into finding these quotes. I bet a lot of people miss out on the lose quotes too when they can't beat the comp. It's nice especially since no one uses everyone ;p Game is so big to appreciate!
Vega against Chun li 'You look beautiful when you sleep' Vega has taken Chun Li's first kiss. It's shown in Street Fighter episodes.
this list is very long here are all the conversations

Sergey Vladilenovich Kiriyenko (Russian: Серге́й Владиле́нович Кирие́нко; born 26 July 1962) is a Russian statesman and politician. He served as the Prime Minister of Russia from 23 March to 23 August 1998 under President Boris Yeltsin. Currently, he is the head of Rosatom, the state nuclear energy corporation.
Early life[edit]
Sergei Kiriyenko's grandfather, Yakov Israitel, made his name as a devoted communist KGB leader,[1] and Vladimir Lenin awarded him with an inscribed pistol for his good service to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Sergei Kiriyenko was born in Sukhumi, the capital of the Abkhazian ASSR, and grew up in Sochi, in southern Russia. After graduation from high school, Kiriyenko enrolled in the shipbuilding faculty at the Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) Water Transport Engineers Institute, where his divorced father taught.
Prime Minister[edit]
Kirienko was appointed Prime Minister after the dismissal of Viktor Chernomyrdin's Second Cabinet. The State Duma, dominated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, twice refused to confirm his appointment but president Boris Yeltsin nominated him a third time and Kiriyenko was confirmed.
Along with Deputy Prime minister Boris Nemtsov and Anatoly Chubais, Kirienko became known as one of "young reformists". They tried to improve the Russia's economy using International Monetary Fund credits, and it elevated the national debt to the level of $22.6 billion.
Kirienko's cabinet defaulted the GKO-OFZ government bond coupons which led to devaluation of the Russian ruble and 1998 Russian financial crisis. Responsible for the crisis, the prime minister resigned on 23 August.
Libel lawsuit[edit]
In 2004 Novaya Gazeta printed seven articles by columnist Georgy Rozhnov, which accused Kiriyenko of embezzling US$4.8 billion of International Monetary Fund funds in 1998 when he was Prime Minister of Russia.[2] The newspaper based the accusations on a letter allegedly written to Colin Powell and signed by US Congressmen Philip Crane, Mike Pence, Charlie Norwood, Dan Burton and Henry Bonilla and posted on the website of the American Defense Council.[3] The newspaper went on to claim that Kiriyenko had used some of the embezzled funds to purchase real estate in the United States. The Moscow newspaper, The eXile, announced it had sent the letter as a prank, but later claimed that this had been a joke.[3][4] In response, Kiriyenko sued Novaya Gazeta and Rozhnov for libel,[4] and in passing judgement in favour of Kiriyenko the court ordered Novaya Gazeta to retract all publications relating to the accusations, and noted "Novaya gazeta's content on the missing IMF funds include a great deal of unproven information" and also went on to say that the newspaper "is obliged to publish only officially proven information linking Mr Kiriyenko with embezzlement."[2]
Formation of SPS[edit]
Together with Nemtsov, Chubais, Irina Hakamada and Egor Gaydar, Kirienko formed the Soyuz Pravih Sil (SPS, Union of the Right forces), one of the largest Russia's liberal democrat parties. The party finished fourth on 1999 elections.
He participated in the elections for Moscow mayor chair and finished second after incumbent Yuri Luzhkov.
Kirienko was appointed to head Rosatom, the Federal Atomic Energy Agency, on November 30, 2005.[5] He is also chairman of the board of directors of the vertically integrated Atomenergoprom nuclear company.[6]
He said on 18 September 2006 while in Vienna, that the reactor in the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran should be operational by September 2007 and the plant itself will be active in November 2007. He advocated President Vladimir Putin's idea of creating an international system of uranium enrichment centers. A uranium enrichment center could be operational in Russia in 2007.[7] Responding to a reporter's question, Kiriyenko said that the Bushehr power plant would not affect nuclear non-proliferation and that there was nothing preventing Iran-Russia energy cooperation. The Government of Russia planned to deliver nuclear fuel to the plant in March 2007.[8] After a delay of some three years, Kiriyenko said 21 August 2010's arrival of nuclear fuel at Iran's Bushehr I marks "an event of crucial importance" that proves that "Russia always fulfills its international obligations." Spent nuclear fuel from the plant will be sent back to Russia.[9]

I'm about 600 miles away and can afford to load my truck with basic essentials and be there by Tuesday night or Wednesday morn. Or I can donate to a local charity if they can get the needed supplies. If it would make a difference I could rent a trailer and get donations for as much as I can haul. This would take a few days. P.S. if you have the time it would be great if someone could answer the few comments coming in @ Red Hook Community Justice Center. Thank you, and I believe there are many that want to help the best way they can. Bless you all. Debbie
I live in Oak Park IL. The families of our local elementary school want to help families there. Aside from cash donations, if we collected some items that you are in need of (coats, baby items, personal care items) is it even possible to receive what we'd send via UPS, FEDEX, or USPS? Please advise. We want to do something. The kids want kids there to know we are thinking of you.

Most Recent|1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300SE 4dr Sedan
This car has been reliable. Now that it is 21 years old with 146,000 miles there are a few wear and tear items. First, my right rear passenger window regulator went out along with the door lock mechanism. The radio volume relay switch went out and was replaced. There are some wear and tear items that need to be addressed, but as long as I can drive it safely.
Reliable in-line 6 engine with fuel efficiency. The acceleration passing is responsive on the freeway. Very comfortable car.
Rear legroom, but of course this is not the SEL model.
1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300SE 4dr Sedan
This "S" class w126 sedan is the most reliable, best riding, safest car I have ever owned and has been the least expensive to maintain as well. Bought it w/ 122K miles 4 years ago (I'm 3rd owner); now at 148K, and have had only $2K in "by the book maintenance" costs during that period. I would take it across the country tomorrow without hesitation. Rides great, rock solid on the road, and stately about town. Bullet proof safety. Gas mileage is not great 15/20 but what a ride. Always gets looks at stop lights and parking lots. Key to buying one of these is complete records which mine has since new. I've had 3 BMWs,3 Saabs,1 Cadillac & a Corvette The Benz is hands down the best!
Elegant appearance, big comfortable seats, quiet solid ride, substantial feel. Outstanding value even at this age.
Start making them again!
1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300SE 4dr Sedan
Parents bought the car new, and it was given to me when I got my permit ten years ago. Rarely gives trouble. If you don't know how to drive it, it can be slow, but hit the top of the accelerator and the car will throw you back in your seat. Best car to get into a wreck in. A TrailBlazer hit me and did a number on the Chevy while leaving me with a scratch. I like this car so much I bought another one, if that tells you anything. The gas mileage is good. I get about 18 in the city w/ A/C on full blast. While I've owned this car, I've owned an AUDI, VW, two BMW's (very needy cars!), and an Infiniti. None, not even the Infiniti, held up like the MB. These cars are built like tanks that last forever.
Huge sunroof. Seats. Turning radius. Ultra smooth ride, and good handling for a huge car. it's built to take what ever you can dish out. Trust me, I got the car when I was 15 years old and it still hasn't skipped a beat! You'll get hypnotized looking at the 3-pointed star while you drive.
One cannot improve perfection
1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300SE 4dr Sedan
Purchased March '05. My wife's uncle had owned it since new and he was selling while I was looking to replace my daily driver. I've never owned a Mercedes, I don't consider myself a Mercedes person, I'm actually a sports car guy. The car has not dissapointed me. It is very slow getting going from a stop, solid build quality, quiet, simple yet comfortable inside, nice leather and sound system. Did I say slow. Once you're up to highway speeds, the car accelerates and handles much better. It is actually fairly easy to do maintenance on and has been very reliable so far. I just went over 115K and, I'm told, she still has another 200K left! They are solid, feels like you're driving a tank at times.
Solid feel, quiet, response at highway speeds, fuel mileage (21mpg), secure. Very safe car. ABS, air bag, great car!
More low end torque to get the beast going.
1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300SE 4dr Sedan
Purchased used in Feb 2002. Car was in fantastic cosmetic condition with 108K. Have had a complete brake system overhaul and replaced Head Gasket. Also replaced AC blower motor and turn signal/emergency flasher unit. (turn signal flasher is not a $5 plug in type) Park Place Mercedes in Dallas appears to not want my business (as they refer to - "a car that old") Not been easy to find a capable mechanic to work on the vehicle. Thought to have been a good value at time of purchase, now higher cost, but still within reason considering condition.
Solid and very secure feeling. The tri- star on the hood tells it all.

Cotton, Elizabeth (2011) In uncertain times, the social capital of group relationships in workplaces may be the key to growth and resilience. British Politics and Policy at LSE (13 Oct 2011) Blog Entry.
- Published Version
Download (93Kb) | Preview |
The value of social capital has been bandied about by policymakers as if a new, valuable resource for employers and governments has suddenly been discovered. But now that we have put a price on it, will relationships be downgraded in this era of social capitalism? In the fourth article of her continuing series on public policy, work, and mental health, Elizabeth Cotton argues that personal and group relationships provide real opportunities for psychological growth and resilience.

By Ronald Kessler
A close look at Barack Obama's career reveals it has been even more mediocre than generally recognized.
Before being elected to the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked as a community organizer and a lawyer in Chicago.
In his memoir, Obama says being a community organizer taught him how to motivate the powerless and work the government to help them. His chief example is an effort to remove asbestos from Altgeld Gardens, an all-black public housing project on Chicago's South Side.
But those who were involved in the effort say Obama played a minor role in working the problem and never accomplished his goal. A pre-existing group at Altgeld Gardens and a local newspaper, the Chicago Reporter, were working on the problem before Obama came on the scene, yet Obama does not mention them in his book, "Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."
"Just because someone writes it, doesn't make it true," says Altgeld resident Hazel Johnson, who had been pushing for a cleanup of the cancer-producing substance years before Obama showed up.
Rep. Bobby L. Rush, D-Ill., says it was Johnson's work, along with asbestos testing by the Chicago Reporter, that got Chicago officials interested in the issue. Rush, who launched an inquiry into the situation when he was a member of the Chicago City Council, says he is "offended" that Obama did not mention Johnson in his account.
"Was [Obama] involved in stuff? Absolutely," says Robert Ginsburg, an activist who worked with Johnson and Obama on the problem. "But there was stuff happening before him, and after him."
After three years working as an organizer, Obama could say he helped obtain grants for a jobs program and got asbestos removed from some pipes in the project. But as the Los Angeles Times has noted, the "large-scale change that was needed at the 1,998-unit project was beyond his reach." To this day, most of the asbestos remains in the apartments.
Fruitless though his efforts were, Obama devoted more than 100 pages to his experiences at Altgeld Gardens and surrounding areas. Michelle Obama has said his work as a community organizer helped him decide "how he would impact the world," assisting people to improve their lives. Yet, in a revealing passage in his book, Obama wrote, "When classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn't answer them directly."
Instead, he said, "I'd pronounce on the need for change. Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on their dirty deeds. Change in the congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won't come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots."
Thus, Obama admitted that he accomplished little but that he was able to cover that up with fancy talk about change.
After going to Harvard Law School, Obama returned to Chicago, where he briefly headed a voter registration drive and then became a lawyer. While Obama's campaign has touted him as a civil rights lawyer, "Over the nine years that Obama's law license was active in Illinois, he never handled a trial and mostly worked in teams of lawyers who drew up briefs and contracts in a variety of cases," according to David Mendell's "Obama: From Promise To Power."
A review of the cases Obama worked on during his brief legal career "shows he played the strong, silent type in court, introducing himself and his client, then stepping aside to let other lawyers do the talking," the Chicago Sun-Times has reported.
"A search of all the cases in Cook County Circuit Court in which Obama made an appearance since he graduated from Harvard in 1991 shows: zero," the article said.
Instead, his practice was "confined mainly to federal court in Chicago, where he made formal appearances in only five district court cases and another five in cases before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — a total of 10 cases in his legal career," the paper said.
If Obama had virtually no impact as either a community organizer or as a lawyer, he was even more invisible in the state Senate and later in the U.S. Senate.
In both bodies, Obama had a reputation for voting "present," thus avoiding controversial decisions that could be used against him later. In the U.S. Senate, he has missed more than one in five votes.
Only one of the measures Obama has sponsored as a U.S. senator was enacted: a bill to "promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
Contrary to Obama's portrayal of himself as a unifier, on every bipartisan effort in the Senate to forge compromises on tough issues, Obama has been missing in action.
In sum, it would be difficult to imagine a more mediocre record. Most candidates for dog catcher have contributed more to society. Yet with the help of adoring reporters, Obama has managed to parlay extraordinary speaking and political skills into a presidential campaign built on sand.
The idea that America might entrust its security and future to someone who has never demonstrated an ability to get anything of significance done is scary.
Look for John McCain to begin exploiting this vulnerability after Labor Day.

UF-UNC QUOTEBOOK By BRIAN LANDMAN © St. Petersburg Times, published April 2, 2000 "You could see it happening. One, the press wasn't as good as it's been in the past, but it was all right tonight. When you expend that much energy to close a gap like that, it takes a lot out of you emotionally more than physically. But they sustained a lot of energy for a long time and they did a great job, but at the end we just had a little extra gas down the stretch." -- Teddy Dupay, UF sophomore guard, on UNC wearing down. "I don't really think that was it. He's been around. I don't think they took him out. He knows how to play without fouling, charging, doing all of those things. If he had fouled out, it would have been a big difference." -- Dupay on whether UNC senior point guard Ed Cota picking up his fourth foul with 13:18 left was the turning point. "We're going to have to play better, better than we played tonight, better than we've played the whole tournament. Michigan State was everybody's preseason No. 1, so it's going to be a tough one." -- Dupay on what it will take to win the national title Monday. "In the first half, we fouled a lot. He was 6-of-9 from the free-throw line. Take away those free throws and he only had 10 points in the first half. In the second half, we did a better job of doubling (him) without fouling." -- UF sophomore center Udonis Haslem on holding UNC center Brendan Haywood to four second-half points. "We're not going to wear you down the first 20 minutes. Maybe not the first 30 minutes. But over a 40-minute game, you're going to get tired sooner or later." -- Haslem on the strength of "BillyBall." "Cota's a great player, but as the game wound down, he was on his knees." -- UF freshman forward Donnell Harvey "No. We believe in each other. We fought back. Brett (Nelson) and Udonis hit some big shots and got us back in it. Momentum was just for us and we ran with it." -- Harvey on whether there was any concern when UNC took a 48-44 lead. "For about four or five minutes of the basketball game, we played Florida basketball instead of North Carolina basketball. We stopped dictating the tempo that we wanted." "They boxed out a little better. In the first half, they didn't really box out that well and I was just having an all-you-can-eat buffet on the boards." -- Haywood on his diminished impact after a strong first half. "We have a lot of talent on this team. When we play defense like we played all tournament, and even tonight, we're capable of beating anybody. If we continue building on that, with the players we have coming back and the guys who are injured coming back and the freshmen (coming in), don't be surprised if you see us going to the next Final Four." -- Haywood on UNC's prospects. "I was just a little bit more determined. I felt I had let my team down in the first half, so I wanted to come out and knock some shots down." -- UNC freshman guard Joseph Forte on his better play in the second half after going 0-for-5 in the first.

(NBC News) The road to the future of the car industry runs through Detroit today.
The Motor City is opening its annual auto show.
It's the place where manufacturers show-off what's new neat and next behind the wheel.
The show opens to the public next week, but the press will get a preview of several new models unveiled here today including a new take on what has been the most popular vehicle in America for more than 3 decades..
Most every make and model from two-seaters to sedans and s-u-v's luxury, high-tech or high-performance are on display.
"Detroit is the show in North America there's no question about that," said Bob Shuman the chairman of the North American International Auto Show.
It's a showcase for an industry that's made its way back from the bad times and bailouts of just five years ago.
"Three years of double digit growth, 10-13% range. 2013 we had 8% growth, for 2014 we're projecting 16.4 million in sales," Edmunds.com Chief Economist Lacey Plache said.
The success can be seen in the extravagant displays here with a focus on what's new and what's next.

meh... no nothing about goes and protocols and whatever
Wait, anti-semitic? Remember, this was the competition that caused Albena Denkova to circulate a petition asking essentially for an explanation of the scores as C/S beating D/V was pretty much bunk based on the skating itself. You think they did that out of anti-semitism? Or do you think the accusations of payoffs (I'm trying to be sensitive here, but yes, the Lithuanian Federation did accuse Mr. Chait of making payoffs) is the anti-semitic part. I'm genuinely curious, as far as I understood it, that was one of the most spurious medals of the decade (generally accepted as such).
Okay, what Tanith and Ben are not getting is the PCS. And there are some wacko changes to PCS this year:
1. Some components get a gratuitious 0.5 every time you do a gratuitous twizzle outside of the actual twizzle sequence, provided it's appropriate to the music.
2. Same AFAIR for extra lifts
3. There are penalties in some components for excessive stopping and posing.
Someone in real teknik (Linichuk, I'm calling yoohoo) needs to read those PCS guidelines in ISU Com 1567 to understand why B&A are not getting the levels. If you check the protocols, it's pretty consistent on a per judge basis, and now it's through 2 competitions.

US Nats is going be be very interesting .
I remember watching a vid of it and hearing Vanagas make a remark about being unable to fight "big money" which definitely carried unfortunate implications. I'm not sure if he even consciously meant anything anti-semitic by it, and obviously he was upset, but still, he shouldn't have made it.
And that's Dostatni (I mean, if we're gonna make accusations here, can we at least use names and not innuendo? We're not twelve).? Of course, B/A didn't get any level ones. Nor did K/N.\
Thanks, and I agree. I wasn't aware of that (I was aware that he had said something along the lines of "When you see the judging panel, you know how the judging will go" in terms of countries. That's paraphrasing, by the way.)

B/A are so much better. Crazy CoP. Can't believe they were scored so looow. Stupid, stupid CoP, all manipulation.
I mentioned in the CD thread about the issue re: Israeli judges country hopping to different countries, and/or coutnry hopped to judge for Israel. The Hungarian and British judges who judged at the GP events (TEB, CoR?) are Israelis. The Israeli judge who judged @ this panel used to judge for Hungary.
Tweet from Lynn Rutherford:
Drama in the mixed zone. Anna Cappellini collapsed with joyful tears when she and partner Lanotte gained the silver medal and the GP Final.
There's an interesting podium, where the silver and bronze(I assume) medalists are happy but the gold medalists aren't!

The issue seems to be in Linking footwork/movement-and there are some glidy empty spots in it yet.
They also could be getting better GOE. I know D&W collect 3's for their spin, and for that first lift.
I have the tape, I have watched the press confrence, and the entire event, and post, over and over again, V of D/V told the media that he felt that "You know there is money behind the Jewish team, Jewish money, that's the only reason they won." Denk/Staviski, and Navka/Kostamarrov (sp? on all counts) were also pretty voacl on that day. One commentator said that "Those Jews must have paid someone off" It really hurt. There were other things said that are too cruel to post. Galit and Sergai earned that medal. The backlash was uncalled for.
Right now I want to take in the joy of this victory for the Zaretskis and go in search of the medal ceremony so that I can watch the Israeli flag fly high.

Dental floss: how long should it be?
Asked by tinyfaery (37282
February 9th, 2010
Last night, the length of dental floss I ripped off was not long enough. Then I thought to myself, what is long enough? Why does it matter? There is no appropriate length of dental floss. Why do I feel like the piece I had was not long enough?
So, how long should the dental floss be? What is the right length in your opinion.

ODI Lock-On Lock Jaw Clamps
If you have ever had to struggle with installing or removing MTB grips, you already understand the genius behind ODI Lock-On Lock Jaw Clamps. Different grips provide different levels of performance depending on the conditions, and now changing your grips is as easy as turning an allen key. Slip-proof and easy to install, ODI's Lockjaw system is one of the most sensible cycling innovations in recent years.
I bought these clamps thinking I could use them with my race face clamps and the shaping is off. So be careful when buying these to go with anything other then ODI grips
Does what you'd expect. Solid product. No issues.

Woman falls to death from balcony
RAW VISION: A woman fell more than 10 metres to her death from the balcony of a unit block in Little Bay, Sydney.

A woman has fallen more than 10 metres to her death from the balcony of a unit block in Sydney's east, police say.
Emergency services were called to the unit block on Nyan Street in Little Bay just before 1am on Thursday after the woman plunged from the fourth-floor balcony to the ground.
The 48-year-old woman was unconscious when paramedics arrived.

She was taken to St Vincent's Hospital in a critical condition, but died a short time later.
Police said a number of people were inside the unit at the time she plunged over the balcony railing. The woman's boyfriend is believed to be among those who saw her fall.
Detectives are speaking to those people on Thursday morning to determine the circumstances of the woman's death.
Officers from the Eastern Beaches Local Area Command have set a crime scene at the unit, which is being examined by specialist forensic officers.
The woman's death comes less than a month after a 21-year-old woman died after falling 25 metres from a hotel balcony in Sydney's south.
Eden Hull, 21, had been holidaying in Cronulla with her boyfriend when she fell from the balcony of their 10th floor hotel room and onto a tiled terrace.
The south coast woman was taken to St George Hospital with critical head injuries and underwent surgery, but died early on January 17.
Police have appealed for anyone with information about the woman's death on Thursday morning to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Judgment day for Congress and the American public now sits just two weeks away. A combination of tax cuts put in place throughout the Bush presidency and extended through the first term of the Obama presidency and a series of spending cuts in the defense sector, collectively known as the fiscal cliff, are set to trigger in the first two days of January if both Congressional parties don't come together to strike a compromise.
The combination of higher taxes and lower spending is widely expected to be a negative for the economy as a whole and could thrust the U.S. back into a recession. For some companies, however, it won't matter whether or not we go over the proverbial fiscal cliff -- they're in trouble no matter what. Here are five companies you'll want to think really hard about before pulling the buy trigger heading into 2013.
SUPERVALU, the owner of grocery chains Albertsons, Save-A-Lot, and many others, is in dire straits whether or not taxes head higher for much of the American public. Buried under nearly $6.1 billion in net debt (a level that actually rose in its most recent quarter), SUPERVALU is attempting to restructure its debt and potentially sell parts of the company, or even the entire thing.
This is occurring while it's also trying to remodel many of its locations similar to how its rivals, Safeway (NYSE: SWY ) and Kroger (NYSE: KR ) have turned their stores into one-stop shops, complete with a fresh look inside and a fueling station outside. Simply put, SUPERVALU doesn't have the capital to orchestrate this type of remodel campaign, and it's losing business in rapid succession to Kroger and Safeway, which were quicker (and had more readily available capital) to make that change.
The grocery industry has razor-thin, unforgiving margins, and SUPERVALU looks like a casualty of its own devices.
Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ: CZR )
Speaking of debt-ridden companies, let me introduce you to Caesars Entertainment, owner of high-end resorts and casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and around the world. Clearly, a tumble over the fiscal cliff would reduce consumers' disposable income and likely curb spending at its hotels and in its casinos. The problem is that Caesars is in trouble even if a fiscal cliff deal gets done.
The primary concern investors should have with Caesars is its unsustainable level of debt. The company went public earlier this year in order to raise capital to help pay down its debt, yet it's still left with nearly $20 billion in net debt. The interest payments on Caesars' debt alone will likely keep it from becoming profitable for years, if ever!
Another factor working against Caesars is its lack of a casino presence in Macau, possibly the only region in the world still exhibiting strong growth in the gaming industry. With heavy ties to the Las Vegas Strip and Superstorm Sandy-devastated Atlantic City, Caesars' prospects for growth from its current levels look tepid at best.
RadioShack (NYSE: RSHCQ )
Seriously, who shops at RadioShack anymore? RadioShack stopped being the place to go to for electronic gadgets about 10 years ago, and whether or not we go screaming off the fiscal cliff, it'll be in serious trouble.
The first thing working against RadioShack is its terrible store locations. I remember when RadioShack stores used to be located in popular malls -- now they are relegated to strip-mall locations in order to reduce costs.
The second factor working against RadioShack is that you can buy nearly everything it offers through Amazon.com or some other online retailer for the same cost or less. There's absolutely no differentiating factor that makes consumers say, "Yes, I have to go to RadioShack to get this!" Plus, in its push to shrink store size in order to reduce expenses, its selection of electronics has grown anemic.
Finally, its reliance on pushing mobile devices could potentially get more people in the door, but the razor-thin margins on those devices aren't expected to help RadioShack turn a profit until 2016... that's right, 2016! C'est la vie, RadioShack!
Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN )
As with the previous companies, a dive off the fiscal cliff will likely reduce disposable income, which means less eating out and partaking of daily deals. Groupon, though, was and still is in trouble no matter what Congress decides.
I first have to ask: Where is the differentiating factor between Groupon and its peers like LivingSocial? Sure, Groupon boasts 49% of all daily-deal market share, so it's often the first stop for small businesses looking to drive customer traffic, but what makes Groupon so different from the rest of the sector? The answer is: absolutely nothing. There's practically no barrier to entry in the daily-deals sector, which makes it increasingly difficult for a company like Groupon to command pricing power or any sort of healthy margins. We've already seen Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Amazon enter into the fray, and it's quite likely more companies will join before too long.
Another major issue is whether or not we can trust the figures from Groupon's accounting department. In the past 15 months, shareholders have dealt with two major earnings restatements due to the way the company recognizes revenue, and it still refuses to comply with all of the Security and Exchange Commission's "suggestions" for better earnings transparency. To top this off, its CEO, Andrew Mason, has done little to reassure investors that his company's business model can survive over the long run.
US Airways (NYSE: LCC )
I was really, really, tempted to just write "every national airline" in the No. 5 spot, but specifically chose US Airways as the airline that's going to face the most challenges regardless of the fiscal cliff outcome.
As you might expect, there will probably be less travel occurring if taxes on the American public are higher, which will coerce US Airways to either reduce prices and margins in order to attract customers or simply eat empty seats on its flights, also hurting margins. But there are plenty of concerns even if a deal gets done.
For one, US Airways has the weakest leverage of the major national carriers. It's been working at a potential American Airlines merger for a year now, but the combined entity would still be buried under a mountain of debt, and US Airways would still be obligated to fulfill American's absurd 460-plane, $40 billion order from Boeing (NYSE: BA ) and Airbus.
Also, these companies couldn't stay consistently cash flow positive if their lives depended on it! US Airways has had a net cash outflow in seven of the past 10 years and has declared bankruptcy twice in the past decade. In fact, none of the major national carriers has escaped the past decade without declaring bankruptcy at least once. As Warren Buffett notes, the airline industry is highly capital intensive and offers very negligible returns -- a perfect reason to avoid it like the plague.
With a sectorwide shift under way toward more nimble regional airlines that are able to undercut national carriers on price, US Airways looks like a company that once again is headed down the wrong path.

This desk is a good deal for the price. It is very easy to put together, all the parts lined up and with the top down you could pull two chairs up on either side and use it as a table. The top hinges seem sturdy, and this is going to work great for my small office.
The desk is nice and sturdy. Easy to put together. Nice antique white color. Gores well with a parsons chair, sorta dresses up the living room some.
this is a rather nice desk, actually too large for the space, but will work. My only complaint is that the desk is 34" tall!!! I am sure that this fact is included in the description, but I failed to notice. The height became a problem when trying to pair with a chair. The one which I brought to the beach was too short and the one I bought was too tall!! Husband cut off legs works for now!
I was also not paying attention to the size of this desk. The center part lifts up and there is a very small surface underneath that IS normal desk height. But when that is closed, it cannot be used as a desk. It is much too high. Buyer beware. I would make a nice console or entry way piece, however. It's good quality for the money.
This piece of furniture shouldn't be named a desk. I blame myself for not checking the height dimension; but, in all fairness, the product name is listed as "desk," so I assumed it was standard desk height. It's oddly tall and would only be useful as an entryway or end of hallway table. My adjustable desk chair doesn't even raise high enough to comfortably work on this table. From a distance, it looks attractive in a shabby chic sense, but up close you can see that only one thin coat of paint was applied and the surface is rough to the touch. And, the one I received has a chipped corner, so the light wood is exposed. The top section is heavy and sturdy; however, it sits upon very thin, light legs that wobble when you close the drawers or bump the top. I don't recommend it as a desk. The only reason I didn't return it is my boyfriend recycled the box. So, I gave it away. I don't usually give a negative review for anything, but I feel somewhat misled by the name "desk," and I hope this adds clarity to the product description. So if you need a decorative hall table, fine, if you need a desk, not so fine.

Intriguing . . . and scary as hell. Especially "If such a vaccine was developed it could also raise ethical questions about vaccinating people, possibly in childhood, before they even started smoking."
Could you imagine giving a newborn this? Gah! Although, I really wouldn't doubt if it does come to light one day.

Huh. Interesting. I can't imagine giving it to newborns though. If it is really developed for people, I suspect it would only be offered to people who have tried everything else to stop smoking.
I am not so sure.
The vaccine community likes to give vaccines to newborns - the compliancy rate of parents bringing in newborns and babies is high. Adults are often lax on immunizing themselves.
The other possibility is it will be offered to older children/young teens. They will want to get them before they start smoking - kind of like Gardasil for HPV
I can see the ads now..it will be dubbed the lung cancer vaccine.
I suppose there could be some ethical debate about giving it to a kid if a parent requested it in order to ensure that their kid never smoked - would it be allowed? But everything about this vaccine says that it is being made to help smokers quit, not to prevent them from starting. I seriously doubt that it would ever even get approval for testing in children, much less ever be used in them.
My grandparents struggled with quitting from before I was born, but they were still smoking decades later even when my grandmother was on oxygen 24 hours a day and suffering from terrible emphysema. She died of a stroke about a year before my daughter, her first great-grandchild, was born. I have no doubt that if she'd managed to quit even a few years before, she would have gotten to meet her. She loved babies so much. We lost my grandfather to lung cancer just a couple years later.
I agree that it would be scary if given to children as a preventative - a vaccine to control behavior is quite a different beast than one to prevent a disease. But what about the target for this vaccine, people like my grandparents? Leaving the highly unlikley theory of giving it to children out of things, do you think the attempts to develop this vaccine are worthwhile?
Assuming it is not given to children, I have no issues with it.
Adults can do what they want to their bodies and maybe it will be helpful.
Yes, it'd be scary to give to babies and kids! That's for sure. Adults, I'm with Kathy.

Recipe by Debbie
"Chocolate cake with melted caramels, nuts, and chocolate chips in the middle."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale
Sort stores by
Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
14 ounces individually wrapped caramels
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
3/4 cup butter
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
YUMMY!!!! This cake was really easy to make and tasted SO good! I used 2/3 cup evaporated milk and 1/4 cup butter and I got a great consistency with the caramel. Also, I would recommend after baking the first layer to trim the top off, so that the cake remains even because once you pour the caramel on, it tends to pool at the edges. Next time I will definitely do that!
This sounded like a great recipes but truthfully I wasn't all that impressed with it. It wasn't horrible, but I wouldn't rave about it either. We could barely taste the carmel or the chocolate. It just tasted like cake. Maybe with a little trinkering it would be better, but as is I'd say so-so.

I've made this exact recipe for, I hate to say it but, 20 years. The cake is always a hit. The second baking does need to be 25-30 min, to get the center done. This is not a cake to serve hot. It tastes better cooled and then the filling is solidified. A great cake to make the evening before you serve it. My kids love to help unwrap the caramels...of course a few never make it to the cake, but that doesn't matter. Enjoy!!
Yummy! If you have an Air Bake cake pan, use it for this recipe. It will help keep the first cake layer from forming a raised center...as one other review pointed out, if the cake is raised in the center, the caramel pools into the corners and edges, leaving the center without much of the good stuff. I also used only 1/4 c. butter in the caramel mixture, in fact I wonder if the 3/4 c. is a typo. There's just no reason for that much butter. I also substituted 1/2 c. milk instead of the 2/3 c. evaporated milk. The caramel mixture seemed alarmingly thin when I first spread it on the cake, but it worked out just fine. Next time I'll try baking it just a little longer for the second cake layer. It is hard to tell when it's done, and I don't think 20 minutes was enough. Regardless, it was a HUGE it at my most recent family gathering! I'm going to make it again this weekend.
Wow, this is great! I took suggestions from the reviews for Turtle Cake II and adjusted the butter/milk mixture to the following: 1/4C. butter, 2/3C. milk and the caramel mixture was thick and delicious. This couldn't be easier. The only thing that took any time was unwrapping the caramels. Great recipe!!
Wonderful cake! It was a bit hard to tell when it was done because the toothpick test doesn't work well with caramel. Thanks for the recipe!
Per my boyfriend's request, he asked that I incorporate some "sweet stuff" into our dinner menus. I'm not a fan of sweets so I scoured this site high and low looking for a recipe that we could both enjoy. Since we both like the turles candies, I thought this would be great to try. Boy was it heavenly! And since I don't bake much, this was really easy. Even my daughter (5yrs old) helped me! My boyfriend topped it off with ice cream...very good and deserves 5 stars. It was esspecially tasty after having lemon mushroom herb chicken, also found on this site...first sour followed by sweet! The only thing, it was hard to tell when it was done baking because of the carmel (as others have stated) but still very good! Thanks Debbie...my boyfriend sends his compliments!
Very good. I used devils food cake mix as I didn't have german chocolate. I also used one or two tablespoons less butter than it asked for in the caramel mixture. Delicious. Some people wondered where the icing on top went. It looks unfinished without something so I sprinkling just a bit of powdered sugar on top. I was asked to make this again. It's a hit.

Critical Essay by Thomas Wentworth Higginson
SOURCE: "Lydia Maria Child," in Contemporaries, Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1899, pp. 108-41.
In the essay below, Higginson discusses Child's broad cultural influence, tempering a general synopsis of her life and works with his personal recollections of her.
To those of us who were by twenty years or more the juniors of Mrs. Child, she always presented herself rather as an object of love than of cool criticism, even if we had rarely met her face to face. In our earliest recollections she came before us less as author or philanthropist than as some kindly and omnipresent aunt, beloved forever by the heart of childhood,—some one gifted with all lore, and furnished with unfathomable resources,—some one discoursing equal delight to all members of the household. In those days she seemed to supply a sufficient literature...

- Vernier scales allow readings to 0.1mm and x-axis fine control allows readings to 10 micrometers
- Control knobs project to read and are located in same vertical plane
- Tilting base not included
Weighing just 550 grams and employing a slim space-saving design, this well-built micromanipulator outsells all others worldwide for high precision experiments where magnification is in the range of up to 250x. Its design allows units to stand tightly grouped - since all control knobs project to the rear. And because control knobs are clustered within an 8cm area in a single vertical plane, resolution is quick - the hand works blindly while the eye monitors the microscopic image. Vernier scales allow readings to 0.1mm ; x-axis fine control allows readings to 10 microns.
The instrument employs rack-and-pinion drive, V-shaped guideways, and cross roller bearings, so all movement is sure and repeatable, without drift, sideplay, backlash or sticking. Control parts are milled of hardened steel for high performance and long life. Left- or right-handed versions of the M3301 are available and are supplied with a standard 12mm clamp (M2) and on microelectrode holder (M3301EH).

Manager Dale Sveum has liked everything he's seen from rookie catcher Steve Clevenger. But veteran Geovany Soto is still the Cubs main catcher, Sveum said.
``I don't think it's platooning,'' he said of Clevenger hitting against some right-handed pitchers. ``Soto will catch 60 to 70 percent of the time. Clevenger [a left-handed hitter] will get his at bats, but Soto will play more.''
Soto was in the lineup Saturday against Houston left-hander J. A. Happ. Soto, who missed time because of left knee arthroscopic surgery, entered the game hitting .160 with five home runs and 9 RBI.

- Gang,
I have been re reading David Eicher's one volume military history
of the Civil War, titled "The Longest Night", recently. In his
section on Sharpsburg and the fight at the Sunken Road, he says
Rodes's brigade launched a counter attack that ultimately reached
the area of the Roulette and Clip Farms before being forced back.
Is this so? I have always been under the apprehension that some
elements of George B Anderson's NC brigade, along with some
elements of Wright's Georgia brigade (which extended the
Confederate line in the lane to the right of Anderson), made a
counter attack on the left flank of French just before
Richardson brought the Irish Brigade forward.
Your comments and discussion appreciated.

Rather a tactical adjustment of the firing line in that area, pushing

than allowing the Federals to use it as a firing berm.
Neither. The timing is my inference from the fact that Rodes went

personally to the 6 Ala to order them to attack and Gordon makes no
mention of him, the orders, or the belated attack in his account. He
does, however, describe the fighting (from the road) and goes into
detail about his wounding and being carried off on a stretcher. I
think he would have noted the attack if he was still there when that

Lee and Longstreet made of the road position right before the attack
hit (the one that ended with Gordon announcing he would hold the
position until the sun went down). I'd wager it happened just before
the two of them made it to the division, Hill would have ridden back
to the Hagerstown Pike to greet the approaching army command just
south of the position... and all of that seemed reasonably relaxed,
which would not be the case if Hill rode back to Lee frantically
looking for reinforcements as would be the case after the attack began.

Brewers Association looks to past setting new guidelines for two smoky beers
Posted By Eric Gorski On March 4, 2013 @ 2:57 pm In Colorado Beer,Great American Beer Festival | No Comments
The newest beer styles to earn guideline recognition from the Boulder-based Brewers Association [3] aren't new at all: They are a couple of centuries-old smoky ales from Europe that long ago fell out favor but are now showing signs of being revived by craft brewers.
The BA today announced new guidelines for the two styles [4] – Adambier, which thrived in and around Dortmung, Germany, and Grätzer, primarily brewed in Poland. The beers pre-date the 1516 Reinheitsgebot, or German purity law, which stated beer could only be made of water, barley and hops.
With the announcement, there are now 142 styles of beer defined by Brewers Association guidelines – the standards by which they are judged in the Great American Beer Festival competition.
The two styles have been revived – on a small scale – by U.S. and international brewers, the BA says.
"Craft brewers are always looking for the next new thing to try," said Chris Swersey, technical brewing projects coordinator and competition manager for the BA. "A lot of times, they'll actually go back and look at what was happening historically and put a new spin on it."
At least a couple of U.S. breweries are experimenting with Adambiers: Burnside Brewing Co. [5], a small brewpub in Portland, and the aptly named Vintage Brewing in Madison, Wisc. [6]
"This is a style that got resurrected to some degree – brought out of the depths of beer history and revived," Swersey said.
"It just points to innovation," he said. "Craft guys are nothing if not looking for some way to try something new – even if that something new is something old."
Oklahoma City-based Choc Beer Co. brews a Grätzer. The label on the beer, pictured above, reads, "The Polish city of Grodzisk gave birth to one of the world's unique beers: an effervescent, smoky beer known to the world as 'Grätzer.' Alas, after centuries of fame, the Grätzer style died in Europe – only to be reborn in Oklahoma! Our Grätzer is brewed using only authentic ingredients: oak-smoked wheat malt, Lubliner hops, and an original yeast strain that we retrieved from Poland. We hope you enjoy this historic beer. Na Zdrowie (Cheers)!"
Currently, the BA's smoked beer category has several sub-categories, including smoked porters and a catch-all "other" category.
The new guidelines describe Grätzer like this:
"Grätzer is a Polish-Germanic pre-Reinheitsgebot style of golden to copper colored ale. The distinctive character comes from at least 50% oak wood smoked wheat malt with a percentage of barley malt optional. The overall balance is a balanced and sessionably low to medium assertively oak-smoky malt emphasized beer. It has a low to medium low hop bitterness; none or very low European noble hop flavor and aroma. A Kölsch-like ale fermentation and aging process lends a low degree of crisp and ester fruitiness Low to medium low body. Neither diacetyl nor sweet corn-like DMS (dimethylsulfide) should be perceived."
The Adambier is described as follows:
"Adambier is light brown to very dark in color. It may or may not use wheat in its formulation. Original styles of this beer may have a low or medium low degree of smokiness. Smoke character may be absent in contemporary versions of this beer. Astringency of highly roasted malt should be absent. Toast and caramel-like malt characters may be evident. Low to medium hop bitterness are perceived. Low hop flavor and aroma are perceived. It is originally a style from Dortmund. Adambier is a strong, dark, hoppy, sour ale extensively aged in wood barrels. Extensive aging and the acidification of this beer can mask malt and hop character to varying degrees. Traditional and non-hybrid varieties of European hops were traditionally used. A Kölsch-like ale fermentation is typical Aging in barrels may contribute some level of Brettanomyces and lactic character. The end result is a medium to full bodied complex beer in hop, malt, Brett and acidic balance."

Upstaged in Palestine
Nigel Williams
- Prisoner of Love by Jean Genet, translated by Barbara Bray
Picador, 375 pp, £12.95, February 1989, ISBN 0 330 29962 X
Jean Genet's flirtation with radical politics began with his discovery – or was it entombment? – by Sartre. It is recorded that when Genet first read Saint Genet, he was cast into deep despair, an emotion shared by many others who have tried to read Sartre's massive study. But being a practical man he was not one to reject attention. What is extraordinary about Genet's career is not the extent to which the sage of the Deux Magots left his mark on the subsequent work of this most individual of French writers, but the extent to which Genet managed to struggle free of his mentor.

Unlike other tests, such as StrengthsFinder or Myers-Briggs, this assessment doesn't measure how you see the world.
This measures how the world sees you.
How the World Sees You: From First Impressions to Lasting Value
In her keynote, Sally shows the audience to reverse the usual model of communication. She teaches how to stop focusing on "how you see the world" and how to start applying your advantages based on "how the world sees you."
Today, the average attention span is only 9 seconds. Audiences will either be immediately engrossed by a speaker— or lose interest entirely. Sally will instantly fascinate your audience. Here's how.
Fascinating Topics
Sally's main speaking categories include:
- Business Trends
- Marketing and Sales
- Innovation and Creativity
- Personal Branding
- Leadership and Influence
- Selling to Women
Her audiences most frequently include:
- Marketing Professionals
- Entrepreneurs
- Small Business Owners
- Creative Professionals
- C-level Executives
Your Group's Fascination Advantage
Your personality has one primary advantage. It's how you add value. It's what makes you different– and better. Think of it like a natural superpower.
When you communicate using this advantage, you earn more attention, and more revenue.
The Fascination Advantage assessment is a complimentary add-on for Sally's conferences. Your group's results are collected into one spreadsheet for your review. Then, during her speech, Sally reveals your group's unique pattern of persuasion. Each audience member learns how to use his or her personality to earn attention and influence.

Hello, I have a 2005 A3 TFSI Quattro and have just purchased a set of genuine 18" S-Line alloys....my car currently has 17" wheels, will I need to have the wheels re-aligned when the 18's are fitted??... Cheers!
No, get the car aligned with the wheels you are going to use not that it should make much difference....
I had 4 new tyres fitted by audi , they did a beissbarth on the car (4 wheel alignment) The dealer said it had to be done each time wheels or tyres where changed ..... £100 for 4 wheels
And make sure they use the correct settings/measurements for your model/trim level... i.e. specifically 'Standard', 'Sport', 's-line', etc etc. They chose the wrong one for mine and it caused heavier steering and pulling to one side.
because the camber and toe must be set to pr code using the oem wheels and correct tyre size if you wish to alter the wheel's then your altering basic set up of the vehicle you do it like that if your doing it correctly if you take a standard set up and alter to s line there will be a drop on the suspension etc which effects the geometry basics this, the car has been designed with pre set geometry based on build it should be fine but that's how its done if your doing it correctly when you set the 4 wheel up the total toe will alter as the machine needs resetting to 18 inch this has now changed the biesbarths values for original 17 inch wheels so the total toe/toe in on turns may give incorrect readings and prompt the user to adjust this when it would be ok with 17's so you get it spot on for 17 then it should be fine with 18's on but there are differences between the standard and sline set up toe is normally the same but camber may alter and the ride height will alter this as you cant centralise the camber on the front and adjust it on the rear just compare the readings with with both wheel types to see if its worryingly out however i have never seen any issues but thats why you do it like that
yes its correct mate for setting it up to manufacturers spec that's what the dealer has told him and the dealer is correct apart form setting it up for 18's which they should not have to do they should only set it up for the build data and pr code if you wish to alter it then you can but that's factory instruction given to me when altering Q7 wheels and ride height this also applies in this case i wont argue as you obviously have your own idea and that's fine but the dealer has to work to manufacturers settings and that's it as there is no alternative adjustment to refer to or as I would do set it as close to nearest a3 with 18's i did this with mine going from 16's and standard suspension to 18's and 40mm drop i set the camber etc to sline and 10,000 miles without any wear as i have said it will be fine Camber Angle Basics | Technical Theory | Car Tyres Fitting and Wheel Alignment Specialists

Commuters on I-94 between the downtowns are having no problems today as traffic is humming right along.
Not so much on the westbound Crosstown with sluggish conditions from 28th Avenue to 35W. From there, it's creeping along over to Hwy. 100 where we have a crash to blame for the delays.
Westbound 494 is not much better with 20 minutes from 34th Avenue over to Hwy. 100.
I-694 has not improved much in either direction between Brooklyn Blvd. and Silver Lake Road.
Southbound 35E tightens from County 14 to County 96. Southbound 35W is heavy from Lake Drive down to 694, a 15-minute trip.

Not sure if this is a re-post or not.
This site shows you the listing and sold prices.

very nice. thanks!
Very interesting. What I noticed was that sometimes (south of eglinton section) the list price was lower than the original price and the sale price was lower then both. Not sure what "original price" means. Anyways it looked on a couple, people sold at loss if "original price" was truly the original price paid by the seller for the unit.
Original price means the price when the listing contract was signed. Properties that have been on the market for a while often show a new listing price due to a price drop. But, there could could an increase from the original price. A house across from my brother was listed at $500,000 and when no bidding war happened, the price was increased to $580,000 (where it remains unsold).
Example from the link:
Orig Price: $324,900 1/12/2012
List: $315,000 price drop at some point
Sold: $307,500 3/14/2012
