Save on London attractions with birdwatching course at Wetland Centre
Published: Wednesday 17th of March 2010
London Wetland Centre - one of the top London attractions - is running a fascinating birdwatching course for visitors this month.
The Introduction to Birdwatching event takes place on March 20th and is designed to help visitors to identify different birds and understand more about them.
It will focus on birds currently on site, with special information about their plumage, calls and behaviour.
The London Wetland Centre explained: "You'll get tips on how to watch birds including how to behave, what to listen out for and the differences between key species."
Booking in advance is essential for the walk, which will begin at 09:30 and last for 90 minutes, followed by breakfast in the on-site cafe.
The Wetland Centre is run by the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, which was founded in 1946 by the naturalist and artist, the late Sir Peter Scott.
It is the only UK charity with a national network of nine specialist wetland visitor centres.

New Ohio hog farm intends to boost local economy
By DOUG GRAVES
Ohio Correspondent
HICKSVILLE, Ohio — The economy in Hicksville just got a little better this past month, as a new sow farm operation set up shop.
Cooper Farms' latest addition, Fox Tail Sow Farm, opened its new doors to 2,500 sows at this Defiance County facility, located on Jericho Road in Hicksville. This means the birth of 1,300 baby pigs each week. The new structure is a boon to the area, as it will create at least 11 new full-time jobs and use approximately 90,000 bushels of corn purchased from local farmers each year.
The new farm rests on 25 acres and will be able to provide natural fertilizer for 165 acres of cropland. "Building a farm in this area is something we have wanted for many years, so we're excited to finally become part of it and gain team members from this area," said Eric Ludwig, Cooper Farms director of corporate development.
Defiance County hasn't seen such a modern facility within its borders like this will offer. The sows are placed in the Breeding Gestation Barn (BGB) in what is the first of its kind: A group pen with an innovative electronic feeding system. Each sow will have a tagged ID. Feeding times are programmed into the computer and the sow will be able to walk right into the feeding station.
The feeding system will also be able to read the sow's ID number and tell the operation if it's ready to give birth, as well as how much each sow is eating and drinking, allowing the team to still tend to each animal's individual needs.
"Each sow will visit the feeding station once a day and it only takes about 15 minutes," said Bruce Schroeder, who services the electronic feeding system for Automated Productions. "There will be 18 feeders altogether and roughly 1,000 stalls in the barn."
When the sows start out in the breeding stalls, they are there long enough for the embryos to be implanted, which takes about 35 days. Then the workers will perform a sonogram to see if they are pregnant. After breeding, the sows go to the open pen gestation for 2-5 days until they head to a farrowing room. There are 40 sows in each of the 12 farrowing rooms, which are 24-by-60-feet.
Residents around the new facility had concerns about the use of well water in the area, as more than 12,000 gallons of water will be used daily at the farm. The well casing penetrates through sand and gravel and is sealed through brown shale, which is solid. By doing this, owners say the farm is actually getting its water from below the sand and gravel line, leaving water above for area homeowners.
"That's a unique way to manage our water supply," said Bud Koenig, director of facilities and maintenance at he farm. "The purpose of our system is not to steal water from the residents. Our well pumps into our pond, but we graded things so we could catch surface water from the fields and funnel it into our pond, so we won't have to use the well as much."
Residents around the new farm need not worry about the abundance of fertilizer or runoff, according to farm owners. A massive lagoon is located behind the barn. Manure dumped there is broken down by anaerobic bacteria. From there, it will be put on the fields for growing crops.
Cooper Farms worked mainly with local businesses and contractors for the construction of this farm. More than 40 contractors took part in the building, doing everything from pouring concrete to electrical work.

Notre Dame issues pro-life 'institutional statement'
Catholic World News - April 14, 2010
Nearly a year after the University of Notre Dame awarded an honorary degree to President Barack Obama, the university has adopted an institutional pro-life statement.
"Consistent with the teaching of the Catholic Church on such issues as abortion, research involving human embryos, euthanasia, the death penalty, and other related life issues, the University of Notre Dame recognizes and upholds the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death," the statement reads.
The university also stated that it would
direct its contributions to both persons and organizations so that they are not used to support research or activities that conflict with Catholic teachings. Should a question arise, Notre Dame will require written assurance that it can direct the use of its funds in ways that respect Catholic teachings. The University will monitor compliance. If ensuring appropriate use proves impossible or an organization consistently advocates research or other activities that conflict with fundamental Catholic moral principles, the University will withhold all further contributions.

So does this mean that didn't have a pro-life statement before this time? Tell me again why Notre Dame thinks their Catholic?

It's "the death penalty and those other related issues" that Notre Dame give the most weight to.

Messi, Ronaldo in form before Copa clashBy Joseph Wilson ,AP January 29, 2013, 12:38 am TWN BARCELONA, Spain -- Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo warmed up for their teams' upcoming Copa del Rey clash with high-scoring displays on Sunday to help Barcelona and Real Madrid cruise to comfortable wins against helpless Spanish league opponents.
After Ronaldo hit his 20th career hat trick in an 11-minute span to help Madrid rout Getafe 4-0, an insatiable Messi did him one better by netting four times in Barcelona's 5-1 thrashing of 10-man Osasuna. Messi is on pace to break his own Spanish league record of 50 goals from last season. The forward leads the league with 33 goals in 21 rounds, chased by Ronaldo on 21. Barcelona maintained the 15-point difference with Madrid, and restored its 11-point gap over Atletico Madrid after it lost 3-0 at Athletic Bilbao. Madrid hosts Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal on Wednesday. "It will be a tough game," said Ronaldo, whose first goal of the day was the 300th in his professional club career. "Barcelona is a fantastic team. We will be missing several important players (Iker Casillas, Pepe, Angel Di Maria), but that is not an excuse. It will be a great night." Also on Sunday, Malaga hung on to win 3-2 at Mallorca to reclaim fourth place from Real Betis, which lost 3-0 at Rayo Vallecano. Betis fell to fifth place while Rayo climbed into sixth. With the "clasico" looming, there had been speculation that perhaps Messi would sit out Sunday's game at Camp Nou. Instead, Messi stormed to his fourth career four-goal game, with only the woodwork keeping him from matching his five-goal feat from a Champions League match last season. Messi's first came in the 11th, when Xavi Hernandez intercepted goalkeeper Andres Fernandez's pass and found the Argentine forward, who brought the keeper to the ground with the subtlest of feints before rolling the ball home. That gave Messi yet another record, as he has now scored in 11 straight league games, improving on the old mark of 10 that he tied last season. He has also scored in his last 16 starts overall. Midfielder Raoul Loe surprisingly leveled for Osasuna in the 24th, but the visitors' celebration was short lived. Defender Alejandro Arribas received his second booking for blocking Adriano's strike with his arm, leaving his team with 10 men and Messi walking up to the penalty spot. Messi slotted the ball just inside the post to restore Barcelona's lead for good in the 27th. The penalty was Messi's 200th career Spanish league goal, making him the eighth player to reach that mark and the youngest ever by four years at 25 years old. After Messi had hit the post with a header, Pedro Rodriguez finished off a pass from Dani Alves to make it 3-1 in the 40th from another move started by Xavi. David Villa then participated in Messi's goals in the 56th and 58th, first working a one-two combination with the four-time world player of the year for him to score from an angle. Villa then made a back pass that Adriano sent on to Messi, who tapped in his fourth goal of the night. Earlier, Sergio Ramos scored Madrid's first goal in the 53rd minute after fellow defender Ricardo Carvalho forced goalkeeper Miguel Moya to fumble the ball by hitting his arms in an apparent foul that went unpunished. Ahead 1-0, Madrid didn't look back. Ronaldo finished off a counterattack from its own area in the 62nd, running onto Mesut Oezil's pass and firing the ball beyond Moya. Three minutes later, Ronaldo made it 3-0 as he charged in unmarked behind Gonzalo Higuain to head home Di Maria's floated cross at the far post. He then dispatched a penalty kick into the lower left corner in the 72nd after Alberto Lopo fouled Luka Modric in the box.

While rumors of Apple launching a proper streaming service for its iTunes content have been around for years, it's only recently that Apple has begun turning the dream into a reality. Just a few days ago, Apple started offering free re-downloads of some TV Shows, and even the ability to stream them on the Apple TV. Today, AppAdvice has been told and was able to confirm independently that Apple is on the edge of finally launching a full-fledged re-downloading and possibly streaming service named iTunes Replay.
In a nutshell, iTunes Replay is an extension to what Apple is already doing with iCloud and free re-downloads of previously purchased music. As Apple secures the remaining rights, TV Shows as well as Movies in iTunes will be given little arrow indicating whether they're "iTunes Replay eligible", that is, available to be downloaded again. Note that some content will unfortunately only be available to download five times and we don't know how streaming will count towards that limit.
The feature will be giving users access to movies they bought as far back as January 1st 2009, and all of this will be available to stream on the Apple TV, and probably iOS as well. It's not clear however what Apple has planned for the desktop in this regard.
The name, "iTunes Replay" is currently being used internally, and is planned to be kept when Apple makes this public. You should expect this to go public in the coming weeks, as the necessary changes are being pushed to Apple's servers at the moment. Note that it's also possible Apple will be including the ability to re-download music under that banner, as to separate it from iCloud and make the two services simpler to market.
This is great news, obviously. With the arrival of services such as Spotify, and the success of Netflix, Apple is going to have to make major efforts to improve the iTunes Store and keep it competitive. The ability to re-download movies and stream them to your TV is a first step in that direction. Now we can only hope for some sort of all-you-can eat subscription plan, but no word on that so far.
As usual, we'll keep you posted on any updates to that story.

I got my wife a EMP last month and ordered extra mags with the coupon SA gives you with each purchase. A very nice lady called me and said the mags I ordered wouldn't work with the EMP and wanted to make sure we got what we wanted. (I could quibble that they're offering non-EMP mags on the coupon that came with an EMP, but that would be ungenerous.) While I spoke with her I mentioned that the take-down clip needed to remove the recoil spring was small and easily misplaced. So she send me three more with the mags! After a range trip Saturday morning I noticed that the new EMP was missing a grip screw. I asked my wife if she had noticed that it was loose, but of course she hadn't. I just got off the phone with Springfield and they are sending a set of screws at N/C and apologized for the loose screw. (Don't get an apology like that every day!) Anyway, this is just to say SA's customer service has been great and the EMP is a terrific little gun.

This is the single oldest post in handguns. Note that he's just happy he got his screws. He isn't mounting anything sharp to the end of his EMP. Just thought I'd point it out.
This post is current. Over the holidays I purchased a Springer ,45 Ultra Compact stainless and an EMP40. After 400 rds they were both still spitting brass in my face. Called Springfield and a very nice lady listened and then sent to return labels by email. Packed the guns on a Thursday and the following Friday received the .45 back in the mail. When I called I asked if they wanted a mag for each gun and she said no. When the gun was returned there was a new mag with it. Apparantly the EMP is causing them more problems because I called today (2 weeks after shipping) and they said it was till there and would not be returned until next week. All communications have been friendly and helpful. At this point in time I think that Springer customer service is top notch.
"Honey, can I buy another gun?" "Why another gun?" "I just figured out that I am two guns short of never enough!"
IMHO, Springfield and S&W have customer service all others should take a lesson from.
The rest of the world gets it,why can't we? "The United States can survive a Barack Obama,who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president". Out of the Czech Republic Psalm 138:7
I'm glad to hear about someone getting taken care of. Good customer service is hard to find. I had a similar experience with Pachmayr when I lost the threaded insert for the grips on my 629. It was totally my fault and they sent me a new one at no charge.

Pit Bull Discrimination Must Stop, Change.org Petition Says
maplegirlie / Flickr |
Some fans of the pit bull breed have been mad at us ever since four members of their favorite dog family fatally attacked a jogger east of Palmdale last month.
It's not the first time we've reported on a fatal pit bull attack. But, for whatever reason, our report and others like it struck a chord: We were engaged in breed bias, they said. We were discriminating against a kind of pooch that might not have even been involved in the assaults:
A Change.org petition brought to our attention this week is calling on members of the "mainstream media" to only identify canines in such stories as pit bulls if we have commissioned or otherwise seen proof of DNA testing that verifies their breed.
The rambling, sometimes incoherent rant by L.A.'s Donny Morrison says we've been "falsely reporting" that pit bulls have been responsible for these attacks when, he believes, the dogs are "proven" to have been mixed breeds or not pit bulls at all.
Of course, we have to wonder here if Morrison went out and commissioned his own DNA tests in those cases.
Here's a sample of his entertaining rage:
We have to stop the media from falsely reporting, and I say we start today. I will no longer stand by and let a reporter, or an editor, or column writer attach the words Pit Bull to a story until the dog in question has in fact, been DNA tested, and it has been proven that the dog is in fact, 90% or more Pit Bull. If this is not done, then they MUST be forced to report the dog for what it truly is, a mixed breed.
Suspect Alex Jackson via the LASD |
He says reporters do not rely on experts when they "slap" pit bull on a mauling story. He's wrong, of course.
In the case of jogger who was fatally attacked in Palmdale last month, information that four pit bulls were involved came from both the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and the L.A. County Department of Animal Care & Control.
Is Morrison suggesting that Animal Care & Control workers, who see more pups than anyone in L.A., don't know what they're talking about?
In fact, it was an Animal Care & Control worker who told deputies that a man who lived in the neighborhood happened to have six pit bulls and two mixed breeds, dogs that had allegedly been involved in previous attacks, according to prosecutors.
The fact that county officials changed the story -- on the day of the attack they said the suspect had four pit bulls, not six -- means they examined the dogs and took a deeper look at what, exactly, they were.
Now that the owner in the case, 29-year-old Alex Donald Jackson, has been charged with suspicion of murder, the fact that the dogs involved are pit bulls is published in court records.
Maybe for the sake of his defense Jackson will have the dogs DNA tested. We'd love to publish a correction.

Class AA girls basketball regional co-finals full of ranked teams
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The girls high school basketball Class AA regional co-finals feature nine of the top 10 teams in the final Associated Press poll.
The regional co-finals tip off around the state tonight, with the winners advancing to next week's state tournament, which will take place March 6-9 at the Charleston Civic Center.
Fairmont Senior, No. 6 in the final Associated Press poll, visits Ravenswood in Region 1 while No. 7 North Marion hosts Braxton County. In Region 2, No. 7 Berkeley Springs is at No. 2 Bridgeport and Frankfort hosts Lincoln.
No. 10 Summers County visits PikeView in Region 3 while No. 1 and defending state champion Westside hosts Bluefield. In Region 4, No. 5 Clay County visits No. 9 Tolsia and No. 3 Nicholas County hosts Scott. Lincoln, Ravenswood and Scott also received votes in the last poll. (See Page 2B for pairings.)
Fairmont Senior eked past host Ravenswood 47-45 earlier this month. Summers, which won five straight AA titles from 2007-11, split with PikeView with each team winning on its home court and with both games decided by a total of seven points. Nicholas beat Scott, which has played in the last three state championship games but lost all three, 48-41 on Feb. 11.
Today's games will be uncharted territory for some with North Marion, the former three-time champion in AAA from 2009-11, and Braxton, Berkeley Springs and Bridgeport, Frankfort and Lincoln, Westside and Bluefield and Clay and Tolsia not playing during the regular season.

Little Charlie & the Nightcats
This article is outdated. (July 2014) |
Little Charlie & the Nightcats | |
Origin | Sacramento, California, United States |
Genres | Electric blues,[1] West Coast blues, jump blues, swing revival |
Instruments | Guitar, harmonica, bass, drums |
Years active | 1976–present |
Labels | Alligator Records |

Little Charlie & the Nightcats (now billed as Rick Estrin & the Nightcats) is an American four-piece electric blues[1]/swing revival combo, consisting currently of guitarist Kid Andersen, harmonicist/lead vocalist Rick Estrin, bassist Lorenzo Farrell and drummer J. Hansen.
Charles Baty (born 1953)[2] was studying mathematics at University of California Berkeley and when he and Rick Estrin (born 1949) formed Little Charlie & the Nightcats in 1976.[2][3] Their first album, All the Way Crazy, was issued in 1987.[3] It includes the songs "Poor Tarzan", "Suicide Blues" and "When Girls Do It". The following album Disturbing the Peace (1988), included "That's My Girl", "My Money's Green", "She's Talking" and "Nervous". They began touring the United States and internationally.[3] They have played at the San Francisco Blues Festival in 1980 and 1982, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the San Diego, California Street Scene and Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival plus the Juneau Jazz & Classics Festival in 2002.
Their 1993 album, Night Vision, was produced and played on by Joe Louis Walker.[2] The album included "My Next Ex-Wife," which won a W.C. Handy Award for Song of the Year.[3] The drummer, Dobie Strange, was replaced by June Core in 1996.[3]
In early 2008, Baty announced he was entering "soft" retirement, no longer tours with the band, except for possible reunion tours/shows in Europe and select North American festivals. Baty performed with JW-Jones at Mont Tremblant Blues Festival, Ottawa Bluesfest, and Piazza Blues in Bellinzona, Switzerland in July 2009. Estrin continued with the band re-billed as Rick Estrin & the Nightcats. Baty was replaced on guitar by Chris 'Kid' Andersen (born 1980), originally from Telemark, Norway. Andersen had played backing Charlie Musselwhite and Terry Hanck as well as fronting his own band.
Baty's most recent blues recording was as a guest on JW-Jones, Bluelisted (2008), an album which marked the first time in his career that he documented his harmonica playing on a recording, and the first time he and another West Coast blues musician, Junior Watson, had recorded together on the same tracks.[citation needed]
In 2013, Rick Estrin was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the 'B.B. King Entertainer' category.[4] He was nominated again in 2014 for the same award, with the ensemble also being nominated as 'Band of the Year'.[5]

Product description
In Boswell's "Life of Samuel Johnson", one of the towering figures of English literature is revealed with unparalleled immediacy and originality, in a biography to which we owe much of our knowledge of the man himself. Through a series of richly detailed anecdotes, Johnson emerges as a sociable figure, vigorously engaging and fencing with great contemporaries such as Garrick, Goldsmith, Burney and Burke, and of course with Boswell himself. Yet anxieties and obsessions also darkened Johnson's private hours, and Boswell's attentiveness to every facet of Johnson's character makes this biography as moving as it is entertaining. In this entirely new and unabridged edition, David Womersley's introduction examines the motives behind Boswell's work, and the differences between the two men that drew them to each other. It also contains chronologies of Boswell and Johnson, appendices and comprehensive indexes, including biographical details.

Author information
James Boswell (1740-1795) was a lawyer, diarist, and author born in Edinburgh. He is best known as the biographer of Samuel Johnson. Boswell is known for taking voracious notes on the grand tour of Europe that he took as a young nobleman and, subsequently, of his tour to Scotland with Johnson. He also recorded meetings and conversations with eminent individuals belonging to 'The Club', including David Garrick, Edmund Burke, Joshua Reynolds and Oliver Goldsmith. Samuel Johnson was born in Lichfield in 1709 and was educated at Lichfield Grammar School and, for a short time, at Pembroke College, Oxford. In 1735 he married Elizabeth Jervis Porter and in 1737 moved to London. There, he became a regular contributor to the Gentleman's Magazine, but struggled to earn a living from writing. His London: A Poem in Imitation of the Third Satire of Juvenal was published anonymously in 1738 and attracted some attention. From 1750 to 1752 he issued the Rambler, a periodical written almost entirely by himself, and consolidated his position as a notable moral essayist with some twenty-five essays in the Adventurer. When his Dictionary of the English Language was published in 1755, Johnson took on the proportions of a literary monarch in the London of his day. In need of money to visit his sick mother, he wrote Rasselas (1759) reportedly in the evenings of one week, finishing a couple of days after his mother's death. In 1763 Boswell became his faithful follower and it is mainly due to him that we owe our intimate knowledge of Johnson. Johnson's last major work was Lives of the Poets. He died in December 1784. David Womersley is the Thomas Warton Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford. He has published widely on English literature from the Renaissance to the early nineteenth century. For Penguin he has edited Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Augustan Critical Writing, Burke's Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful and Other Pre-Revolutionary Writings, and Samuel Johnson's Selected Essays.

The Racketeer
by John GrishamGiven the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered.Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.Who is the Racketeer? And what does he have to do with the judge's untimely demise? His name, for the moment, is Malcolm Bannister. Job status? Former attorney. Current residence? The Federal Prison Camp near Frostburg, Maryland.On paper, Malcolm's situation isn't looking too good these days, but he's got an ace up his sleeve. He knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and he knows why. The judge's body was found in his remote lakeside cabin. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied.What was in the safe? The FBI would love to know. And Malcolm Bannister would love to tell them. But everything has a price--especially information as explosive as the sequence of events that led to Judge Fawcett's death. And the Racketeer wasn't born yesterday . . .Nothing is as it seems and everything's fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.
The Rainmaker
by John Grisham#1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER It's summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor's shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn't have a job or a prayer--except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it. By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he's in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings. A case that started small is exploding into a thunderous million-dollar war of nerves, skill, and outright violence--a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the biggest rainmaker in the land.
The Runaway Jury
by John Grisham#1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him. He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode in a cross fire of greed and corruption--and with justice fighting for its life.
Skipping Christmas
by John Grisham#1NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLER Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That's just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they'll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won't be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren't even going to have a tree. They won't need one, because come December 25 they're setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences-and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined. A classic tale for modern times from a beloved storyteller, John Grisham'sSkipping Christmasoffers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that have become part of our holiday tradition.
The Street Lawyer
by John GrishamBONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from John Grisham's The Confession.He gave up the money. He gave up the power. Now all he has left is the law.Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone.A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm's plush offices. When it is all over, the man's blood is splattered on Michael's face--and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable. Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago, Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker once lived--and where society's powerless need an advocate for justice.But there's one break Michael can't make: from a secret that has floated up from the depths of Drake & Sweeney, from a confidential file that is now in Michael's hands, and from a conspiracy that has already taken lives. Now Michael's former partners are about to become his bitter enemies. Because to them, Michael Brock is the most dangerous man on the streets....
The Summons
by John GrishamRay Atlee, a Professor of Law at the University of Virginia, is forty-three and newly single. His father, a very sick old man who lives the life of a recluse in the ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi, was once a beloved and powerful official who towered over local law and politics for many years. With the end in sight, Judge Atlee issues a summons to Ray to return home to Clanton, to discuss the details of the family estate. Ray reluctantly heads south, but the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret which Ray believes only he knows. Until it becomes clear that someone else knows too. . . 'John Grisham is a copper-bottomed promise of reliable storytelling. . . the legal trappings are as persuasive as ever' Independent 'Smooth, tough and addictive' Mirror ''Almost no one tells a story better than Grisham: there's ann Ancient Mariner implacability about the way the story grips one. . . and doesn't let up' Evening Standard 'Compelling' Times Literary Supplement.
Sycamore Row
by John GrishamJohn Grisham takes you back to where it all began . . . John Grisham's A Time to Kill is one of the most popular novels of our time. Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial-a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history. Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row? In Sycamore Row, John Grisham returns to the setting and the compelling characters that first established him as America's favorite storyteller. Here, in his most assured and thrilling novel yet, is a powerful testament to the fact that Grisham remains the master of the legal thriller, nearly twenty-five years after the publication of A Time to Kill.
The Testament
by John Grisham'Hasta el ultimo dia y hasta la ultima hora. Soy un viejo solitario a quien nadie ama, enfermo, resentido y cansado de vivir. Estoy preparado para el mas alla: tiene que ser mejor que esto. Antes era dueno de todos los juguetes apropiados: yates, jets privados y rubias, casa en Europa, haciendas en Argentina, una isla en el Pacifico, purasangres e incluso un equipo de hockey. Pero ya me he hecho demasiado viejo para los juguetes. El dinero es la raiz de mis males. Tuve tres familias, tres ex esposas que me dieron siete hijos, seis de los cuales siguen vivos y hacen todo lo que pueden para atormentarme. Que yo sepa, engendre a los siete y enterre a uno. Estoy enemistado con mis ex esposas y todos mis hijos: hoy todos se hallan reunidos aqui porque me estoy muriendo y ha llegado la hora de repartir el dinero. Llevo mucho tiempo esperando este dia. '

Until her black father acquires an assault rifle -- and takes justice into his own outraged hands. For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life. . . and then his own. . .

Maybe the mystery of ??? would be reduced if there were only a one

Spawn: In the Demon's Hand

Falls short of being a Dreamcast must buy due to terrible camera control problems, shaky enemy AI, and limited replay value.
The control scheme is hellish, as the goofy camera angles and slippery controls make it tough to track the frantic action.
A couple of hiccups, but they don't stop Spawn: In The Demon's Hands from being one of the best multiplayer games on the market.
The camera problems and bad play balance hold it back from the hellish glory it strives for.
Fans of the comic series may appreciate this one, however even fans will become bored.
Unfortunately Spawn does not hold enough meat to keep me satisfied.
Think of it as something akin to the original "PowerStone" -- but with a hell of lot more firepower, and an even more sinister setting.
Along with the frenetic gameplay, Spawn: In the Demon's Hand conjures up a deliciously wicked bevy of visuals for the owner's viewing pleasure.
We see poop in the palm....The 3D third-person shooter offers a visceral thrill that's part unprotected skin in operating blender and part tongue in the gears of life's cruel machinery, a series of unforgivable blemishes damns this beast straight to hell.
There is unquestionably some fun to be had in Spawn, but control and camera issues keep the game from realizing its full potential.
The most fun you'll have with this one will come from the first few tries - after which familiarity will rapidly breed contempt.
Ultimately a disappointment.
Stick with it long enough and you'll overcome its issues to find the top-notch arcade fun nestled at its core.
Honestly, I'd rather be forced to watch reruns of "Full House" than to play this game, much less pay for that honor.
What makes it so disappointing is because it has such a great premise, stars a groovy character, and looks so damn good that you want to almost cry when you realize that the wily demon of mediocrity has left his fingerprints all over the game.
Rather than follow one of the many plot lines within the comic series all of the heroes and villains get poured into a murky soup of repetitive group battles.

Merrill Brink News Reviews and Opinion on July 19, 2013: Capturing Customer Loyalty in the International Marketplace
http://www.merrillbrink.com — Loyalty marketing is an important customer proposition for all global businesses. Acquiring customers and retaining them can lead to increased sales and profit.
New York, US (PRWEB) July 19, 2013
Loyalty marketing is an important customer proposition for all global businesses. Acquiring customers and retaining them can lead to increased sales and profit.
A Temkin Group report found the inherent relationship between how customers perceive a brand and how loyal they remain to one.(1) Businesses that have a strong global plan to improve customer relationships tend to be effective at retaining customers as well. The research indicated that U.S. companies could see potential $382 million revenue and UK companies a £263 million surge by establishing and implementing smart and well-thought customer experience plans.
Coca-Cola, IBM and Microsoft are examples of businesses with well-designed loyalty programs, and a grasp of the importance of appealing to their global customer bases.(2) IBM, Coca-Cola and Microsoft have 139, 117 and 96 different localized websites, respectively, displaying their commitment to reaching an international audience. A partnership with a language services provider (LSP) can further that commitment, while ensuring efficient and accurate translations along the way.
As the digital landscape continues to grow and evolve, so does the emergence of a new generation of customers.(3) Today's youth will become tomorrow's spenders, and business and industry leaders are finding new ways to reach them. Technological advances have also opened the door for innovative and increased ways to reach a specific culture. An LSP can also assist in translating content throughout different regions.
One example of a customer loyalty program is PepsiCo's partnership with Foursquare.(4) The Foursquare app now alerts users as to where they can purchase Pepsi products, and how they can earn points with a Pepsi loyalty card in the process. With 50 percent of Foursquare users now outside the U.S., more companies are noticing the advantages to working with them to reach an international audience. Other leading companies using Foursquare include Starbuck's, Tasti-D-Lite and Macy's.
A language solutions partner can provide accurate translations across multiple languages and ensure content is consistent when reaching out to customers in different regions. Understanding your global audience and maintaining great customer experience through loyalty programs can improve a company's market share and revenue at the same time.

Will anyone tame Tiger?
By Skip Bayless
Page 2
As I watched Tiger roar again on Sunday and turn another major-championship field into so many 'fraidy cats, I couldn't help thinking of Jim Liu.
Jim is a Tiger cub. Jim again recently terrorized his division of the U.S. Kids World Golf Championship, which attracted 960 players from 47 states and 33 countries. Jim, of Smithtown, N.Y., won by shooting 68, 69, 67 at Pinehurst.
He's 10 years old.
So maybe when Jim is 20 and Tiger is 40 and has won 24 majors, this kid will finally have the guts and game to trade final-twosome birdies with Tiger Woods and push him to validate his greatest-ever status with a 59.
Sorry, I was daydreaming. Two-shot penalty.
I know, I should simply be thankful I got to watch every stunning shot of the exhibition Tiger Woods performed for us in winning his second PGA Championship at Medinah. He played one tournament -- one game -- while all the others played another. The final-round game he played was his greatest ever -- even greater than Pebble Beach or St. Andrews in 2000 -- because it was so intelligent, so mature, so controlled, such a devastating blend of accurate power and finesse.
No more overpowering Augusta National, Pebble and St. Andrews -- fairly wide-open courses he loves -- with tee-shot swings that made Gary Sheffield look meek. No more trying to live up to his gallery-detonating reputation by blasting his driver on every par four and five. No more allowing players with half his game to steal majors from him because he was Tiger "in the" Woods.
On the longest major-championship course ever, Tiger Woods hit his driver only twice on Sunday and won by five shots. The driver that hit the fairway was struck with three-quarters tempo. The one that missed still produced a birdie.
Now, less of Tiger is even more. He dialed it down to dial up 69, 68, 65, 68. Now Tiger has realized he can crush the field if he'll just get his tee shots in the fairway. His 3-woods and 5-woods and stinger 3-irons off the tee are plenty enough -- he still finished second in tournament driving distance at 318.2 yards -- because nobody can consistently strike more radar-locked mid-iron approaches, and nobody can chip and putt with him.
"I felt like I could make anything today," said Woods, the game's best clutch putter, who also went 4-for-4 in tournament sand saves.
This is getting 2000 scary again for any player not named Tiger Woods. No one has ever made the world's hardest game look this easy.
Still, I won't say he's the best ever until he passes Jack Nicklaus' 18 majors. But at this rate, that will happen seven majors from now, when he wins the 2008 British Open at Royal Birkdale.
Now, you can no longer downgrade his chances at even tight, high-rough, dogleg courses like Southern Hills in Tulsa, site of next year's PGA. Woods was never a threat in the 2001 U.S. Open at Southern Hills, finishing seven back of Retief Goosen and Mark Brooks.
But now, a maturing Woods can keep the head cover on his long-drive macho and beat anybody on any kind of course. He won the British Open hitting his Sasquatch driver just once in four rounds. Now he can big-foot the field on second shots alone.
Now, the only thing missing is a legitimate rival.
Look, I loved watching Woods' solo show on Sunday as much as any Woods fan. But in all objectivity, I still have to question the all-time quality of his competition. We know he's the greatest front-runner ever. But the only shootout he has won in 12 majors was against a one-Sunday wonder named Bob May, at the 2000 PGA.
Can he rally the way Nicklaus did on the final nine at the '86 Masters? Could he have won the "Duel in the Sun" at Turnberry, where Nicklaus lost to Tom Watson in '77? Who knows?
Maybe Woods would have done to Nicklaus' many rivals what he has done to his -- maul them into also-ran submission. Maybe, in the '60s, '70s and '80s, today's Tiger would have consistently intimidated and broken the wills of Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Gary Player, Raymond Floyd, Tom Watson and Seve Ballesteros.
But I doubt it.
Woods was tied heading into Sunday's final round with Luke Donald. This was like the Big, Bad Wolf against one of the three little pigs. Woods birdied No. 1 and the short-knocking Donald quickly faded into the lengthening shadows, finishing with a 74.
Adam Scott, one of the many Next Tigers who have failed to live up their hype, did emerge from the shadows with a nice 67. But he still finished six back, and you still wonder if he's made of tough enough stuff to make the putts that win majors.
Scott was tied with Sergio Garcia, whose game might have peaked during the final round of the last PGA at Medinah, in 1999. He was 19 then, nicknamed El Nino. He had the guts, or maybe just the audacity, to shake a fist at Tiger while making a back-nine charge. But he soon proved he doesn't have the game -- especially the putter -- to shake anything but a tail feather at Tiger during majors.
Little Mike Weir went from 65 on Saturday to 73 on Sunday. Do you really think Tiger was afraid of him?
Chris DiMarco, who forced Woods into a Masters playoff and made a run at him early on the back nine at this year's British Open, finished six back. DiMarco definitely has the guts to challenge Woods, but not the game. On that playoff hole at Augusta, he had to hit 5-iron to the 18th green before Woods hit an 8-iron into birdie range.
Phil Mickelson went eye-to-eye with Tiger the first two days, tying him on Thursday with a 69, but falling three shots behind him on Friday. He finished 12 back after Sunday's 74.
Now you have to wonder if we've seen the best of Mickelson.
He finally broke through and won his first major, The Masters, at age 33. He won last year's PGA. Yet Tiger was able neither time to breathe any fire on the back of Phil's neck because Tiger was allowing Hank Haney to rebuild his swing.
Mickelson won his third major at this year's Masters, yet again Woods failed to apply pressure on Sunday because his birdie putts burned lip after lip. With his father gravely ill, Woods obviously was trying too hard to win one last Masters for Pops.
After Earl Woods died, Woods spent six weeks in mourning without much practicing. He missed the cut at the U.S. Open. Mickelson might have won if he hadn't missed the 18th fairway with his drive.
Yet he drove the ball poorly for four rounds.
Mickelson hasn't been the same since that collapse. Is he getting a little too fat and happy with his three majors? Will he ever again be driven enough to push Woods the way Palmer and Trevino and Watson pushed Nicklaus?
Nicklaus finished second 19 times in majors. He recently said he would have tried a little harder if he had known a kid named Tiger would come along. But many of those seconds happened because Nicklaus was simply beaten by great players.
Ernie Els, who now seems rather content with his place in golf history, finished 12 behind Woods at the PGA.
Chad Campbell, another Next Tiger, shot the low round of the day, 66, but finished 14 back. Jim Furyk, 15 back. Goosen and Davis Love, 16 back. Aaron Baddeley and Stuart Appleby, 22 back. Vijay Singh, Charles Howell III, Michael Campbell and Camilo Villegas missed the cut.
Today's fields definitely are deeper in good players. But Woods doesn't have to contend with as many great players as Nicklaus did.
Maybe when Jim Liu is 29 and Tiger is 49...

First Game | Super Mario Bros. (1985) |
Appearances | Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Mario Land Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galaxy 2 Many others... |

Effects | Turns character temporarily invincible. |
Starmen are powerful items in the Mario series. In most games, they grant Mario (or any of his friends like Luigi, Toad, Peach, or even Koopa) temporary invincibility. However, they do not protect Mario from falling down a bottomless pit or getting crushed. They are found in 2D and 3D Mario games, including Super Mario Land and Super Mario Galaxy; and in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Many Mario games, including the Super Mario Bros. series and the Mario Kart series, use Stars (AKA Invincibility Stars, Starmen, Super Stars). After picking up a Star, the user becomes temporarily invulnerable to all damage, except those of lava, deep water, falling, etc. Any projectiles or enemies that come into contact with the user of the Star while it is activated are either destroyed, damaged, or spun out (depending on the type of enemy and what game it is). The Star also increases the speed of the user substantially. The Star is undoubtedly one of the most powerful items in the Mario series. Most side scrolling Mario games feature Stars to grant temporary invincibility, including Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and New Super Mario Bros. U.
In Super Mario Galaxy, it appeared under the name Rainbow Star, and Mario's transformation is renamed Rainbow Mario.
Stars were used differently in Yoshi's Island when they were smiley faced, with blue shoes. They can be found by the player by defeating certain enemies and hitting some ? Clouds. They were used when Baby Mario fell off a Yoshi's back. The Stars would somehow make a bubble around the screaming infant, protecting him from the evil Toadies until the power of the Stars ran out. Every Star collected would add one second to the Star meter, and collecting thirty of them was essential to get a Perfect on a level. Also, "Super Stars" found only in a few levels (they looked like an ordinary Starman, but with no eyes) would seal the Yoshi in a huge egg, and Baby Mario would become invincible, and somehow sport a Cape, which allowed him to glide long distances. After a certain amount of time, the Yoshi would return to normal and Baby Mario once again would seat himself on his back, losing his cape and invulnerability. There are also packs of Stars that come in ten or twenty.
A Star from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Stars have made very few appearances in the Mario RPG series. Perhaps their only appearance as an item was in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, where Mario could occasionally find the rare item and use it to defeat enemies on the overworld (without having to go into battle with them). Doing this would, quite helpfully, still earn Mario Experience Points. Stars, despite being such rare items in the RPGs, are briefly mentioned in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where they are said to be an ingredient of Invincishrooms, and in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in which a camera-wielding Lakitu near the Glitz Pit remarks, "Stars make you invincible?". During the Mario Kart series, Stars give the character invincibility for a short time. Any item that hits the character using the star will be destroyed.
Stars appear in the Super Smash Bros. series as well. If a player touches a Star, they become invincible, allowing them to attack the foe, without worrying about damage. However, unlike the actual Mario games, the player is not able to hurt them just by touching them.
Starmans reappear in Paper Mario Sticker Star on only three levels: Whammino Mountain, Rustle Burrow, and Gauntlet Pond. Their purpose in this game is much like in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars as Mario turns invincible and runs though enemies without the need to battle them.
Starmen also appear in Mario Party: Island Tour, which doubles the player's Dice Block total during his turn.
- In Super Mario Land, acquiring a Starman will play Galop Inferno by Jacques Offenbach from the opera Orpheus in the Underworld. This piece is commonly associated with the can can dance.
Mario Kart series
A Starman is a rare item in the Mario Kart series. When the player is behind in a race these miracles will appear and if the player gets one they will be temporarily invincible (unless the player falls off the course). The player's speed will also increase helping them catch up with other drivers. If the player makes impact with another kart the player being hit will be knocked over. While the Starman is a useful item, it is usually only given to characters who are in sixth place and below when they contact the item box.
In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the rear character will be knocked off the kart. Upbeat music will play as the player uses it, and their kart will flash rainbow (or yellow if in Double Dash!!).
Also in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! a Star is seen with a smiling mouth. Also a truck in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City has "Star Travel" written on it. Its license plate is STR.
Storing the Star can be a good defensive tactic as well, firing it off when incoming shells and POW blocks are on the verge of impact. The Star's speed boost makes it a viable means of reaching off-road ramps and shortcuts too though. See the Circuit Guide later on for specific locations of these.
Mario Kart Trivia
- If the player collides with the boat in DK's Jungle Parkway in Mario Kart 64 while they have a Star, they will still get hit before plunging into the water. This also applies to the Boo item.
- This item lasts the longest amount of time in Mario Kart 64 (effect remains about a second after the blinking stops) and lasts the shortest amount of time in Mario Kart: Super Circuit (the song barely starts its third repetition).
- If the player hits a Bullet Bill with a Star, the Bullet Bill will be pushed aside.
- In Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7 an item box in DK Pass will always give the player a Star, Mushroom or Triple Mushroom. In the Mario Kart series, it made the user invincible for a short period of time. During use, it lets the user smash through other players.

Shaybah GOSP-2
Gas-oil seperation plant
From: Mark
This is not a refinery but a gas-oil separation plant or "GOSP". Specifically the Shaybah GOSP-2.
Thu Mar 09 17:05:30 -0800 2006 This is an intermediate facility that takes the material from the wells and conditions it prior to transportation via pipeline to the refinery where the finished products are made. The lack of storage tanks was the give away. There are only a few small tanks, most likely to store fuel for use within the plant itself. From: tedder
thanks! I'll update.

Awesome, thanks for the correction...I posted the oil refinery name based on google searches which didn't really give much.Fri Mar 10 10:36:07 -0800 2006 |

Year 2012 has been a good year for most Asian markets. In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Timothy Moe, chief Asia-Pacific regional equity strategist at Goldman Sachs says things look a little bit better in the emerging world. Year 2012 has been a good year for most Asian markets. In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Timothy Moe, chief Asia-Pacific regional equity strategist at Goldman Sachs says things look a little bit better in the emerging world. "We are certainly looking in our official forecasts for the relative performance of the emerging markets to outstrip that of the developed ones," he adds. He is looking generally at a slight firming of growth for most Asian economies next year. "Against the backdrop of a modest pick up in growth, overall, we think that should bode well for the corporate earnings environment and consequently for equity market performance," he elaborates. He further says sentiment for India is turning positive. "In order to become more constructive from here we need to have a bit more confidence that the industrial production cycle would indeed begin to turn up. Our economists are hopeful that it may begin to be more visible sometime in the middle part of calendar 2013, maybe around June or so," he adds Given the fact that equity markets tend to be forward looking, it will suggest that as we go through the next few months, it might be wise to be opening up one's hopes a little bit more towards the upside. "But we still think, right now, it may be a bit premature. As opposed to feeling that the risks as previously were lined up more on the downside, we think the risks are balanced and actually shifting towards the more constructive side as we look forward in time," he asserts. Also read: India may surpass US economy over 'long term', says OECD Below is the edited transcript of his interview with CNBC-TV18's Udayan Mukherjee. Q: How do you view 2013? Do you see 2013 being an encore? A: Our early views are on the positive side. We have currently extended our targets to September of next year. We are just in the process of finalising our views for next year-end. But our expectation for the MSCI Asia-Pacific, ex-Japan Index, is 500 on the index level, about 10-12 percent upmove from current levels. If you add-on some dividend yields on top of that, you can get to a mid teens type of total return for the region as a whole. So, our starting premise is one which expects a further building on this year's constructive returns to propagate into next year. Q: Would that happen regardless of some headwinds from the developed markets or are you factoring in some kind of tailwind from those shores in 2013? A: We certainly are endeavouring to include all our global views in our MSCI Asia Pacific views. I would say that the outlook for the developed market is bitter sweet. The bitter side is that the absolute level of growth will no be as stellar as it has been in previous years. But in terms of the delta, the change between 2012 and 2013, we do expect that many of the developed markets will be incrementally better. For the global economy, as a whole, we are looking at 3.1 percent growth this year in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) terms. We think that it will rise to about 3.5-3.6 percent next year. If you think about the developed world, the US, we think will grow about 2 percent. For the US, you can basically decompose that into a good private sector. But a headwind from the public sector, the much discussed fiscal retrenchment that is taking place and the fiscal cliff. For the Euro area, we think there will be a very slim recovery from current recessionary conditions. So, this year, for the Euro area, we are looking at about minus 0.5-0.6 percent GDP growth. For next year we will have about 0.1 percent or thereabouts, just a very, very slim recovery, better in the core, still challenged in the periphery. For Japan, next year, we are looking at just sub-2 percent growth. We have actually taken numbers down little bit in the last few days. We are still looking at about 1.6-1.9 percent around in there, that sort of level of growth. So, for the top three global economies, the picture is one of a little bit better growth year-on-year generally, but still at a subdued rate overall. Turning to the emerging world, things look a little bit better. China, which obviously is the largest of the emerging economies, we are looking at a pick up in growth from about 7.6 percent this year to about 8.0 percent next year. That will have some good ripple effects throughout the rest of Asia. We are looking generally at a slight firming of growth for most Asian economies next year. So, against the backdrop of a modest pick up in growth, overall, we think that should bode well for the corporate earnings environment and consequently for equity market performance.
