Harold Arlen (February 15, 1905 – April 23, 1986) was an American composer of popular music, having written over 500 songs, a number of which have become known worldwide. In addition to composing the songs for The Wizard of Oz, including the classic 1938 song, "Over the Rainbow," Arlen is a highly regarded contributor to the Great American Songbook. "Over the Rainbow" was voted the twentieth century's No. 1 song by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).[2][3]
Life and career[edit]
Arlen was born Hyman Arluck, in Buffalo, New York, United States, the child of a Jewish cantor. His twin brother died the next day. He learned the piano as a youth and formed a band as a young man. He achieved some local success as a pianist and singer and moved to New York City in his early 20s. He worked as an accompanist in vaudeville.[4] At this point, he changed his name to Harold Arlen. Between 1926 and about 1934, Arlen appeared occasionally as a band vocalist on records by The Buffalodians, Red Nichols, Joe Venuti, Leo Reisman and Eddie Duchin, usually singing his own compositions.
In 1929, Arlen composed his first well-known song: "Get Happy" (with lyrics by Ted Koehler). Throughout the early and mid-1930s, Arlen and Koehler wrote shows for the Cotton Club, a popular Harlem night club, as well as for Broadway musicals and Hollywood films. Arlen and Koehler's partnership resulted in a number of hit songs, including the familiar standards "Let's Fall in Love" and "Stormy Weather". Arlen continued to perform as a pianist and vocalist with some success, most notably on records with Leo Reisman's society dance orchestra.
Arlen's compositions have always been popular with jazz musicians because of his facility at incorporating a blues feeling into the idiom of the conventional American popular song.
In the mid-1930s, Arlen married, and spent increasing time in California, writing for movie musicals. It was at this time that he began working with lyricist E.Y. "Yip" Harburg. In 1938, the team was hired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to compose songs for The Wizard of Oz. The most famous of these is the song "Over the Rainbow" for which they won the Academy Award for Best Music, Original Song. They also wrote "Down with Love" (featured in the 1937 Broadway show Hooray for What!), a song later featured in the 2003 film Down with Love.
Arlen was a longtime friend and former roommate of actor Ray Bolger, who starred in The Wizard of Oz.
In the 1940s, he teamed up with lyricist Johnny Mercer, and continued to write hit songs like "Blues in the Night", "Out of this World", "That Old Black Magic", "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive", "Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home", "Come Rain or Come Shine"" and "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" .
Arlen composed two defining tunes which bookend Judy Garland's musical persona: as a yearning, innocent girl in "Over the Rainbow" and a world-weary, "chic chanteuse" with "The Man That Got Away", the latter written for the 1954 version of the film A Star Is Born.

Hello Vizzers!
This is a sad announcement that 'Chronicles of a Paramour' has finally ended its journey [total of 14 chapters]. There will be no more additions to this collection of poetry, unfortunately. But, nevertheless, I hope you all enjoyed reading the collection and learnt a few tips or nifty grammar, metaphors and what not! Poetry doesn't stop there, though… my 'The Last Will Be The First' is an open poetry collection, and will be heavily filled with upcoming poems dealing with everyday inspirations. I shall let you on a secret here, since you've been real keen readers… My poems actually come off the top of my head. They're improvised on the spot! I don't plan – there's probably a billion mistakes that I don't notice – occasionally I get a friend to read it to me – I love hearing people read my poems. It's nice. Anyway, glad you've made it through the first collection, I hope my style of poetry isn't too confusing or messy for you – that's what makes it creative and exciting! Over and out!

Oh no, I want more!!! *crying a river of tears*
And yes, all the stories come to an end sadly. Well then, to be honest, I read good poetry only so you know I mean, dude. Yes, I really enjoyed this collection. How to say, each time I read a poem from the "Chronicles of a Paramour", it was as if I was watching a movie. Each poem is a scene and tells us something with so many feelings. It's the kind of poetry I enjoy reading and your writing style is really good, a bit confusing for some people but I'm alright if you want to know. I studied literature at school so I'm ok with this kind of writing ^^ What else to say? Yes, thumbs up from Laian the Walkthrough Maker, nice work and I'm waiting for the next collection |

There will be more, I promise you. The previous poems I've written that weren't part of 'Chronicles of a Paramour' are part of my new collection 'The Last Will Be The First'. None of them are directly in order, but have somewhat sort of relation with each other as always. I'm very glad that you've enjoyed this collection, and hope to say others out there! I like that you see my poems in a very auteur light too, I've never been told that about my poems. It's always been the generic 'they're very good, you should get them published'. I'm not ready for publication, in fact, I don't want to aim for publication. The literature industry is a solid battlefield - especially finding agents to publish and vet your work. So, I'm quite happy to be in a freelance area, where I want people to just enjoy what I do.
I'm still improving my style, there's probably a lot of grammar mistakes which people silently complain about, haha. And I'm glad! I took English Literature as an A-Level for 2 years, soared in it. Laian, I'm delighted you've enjoyed this, and most definitely, my next collection will be coming soon. Anyone else who's interested or viewed this post, here's the link to 'The Last Will Be The First': http://memineruntomniaamantes.wordpress.com/category/poetry/the-last-will-be-the-first/ You can also find 'Chronicles of a Paramour' on there too, alongside my digital art (only a few, I'm still working on new ones!) |

The vintage Zagato-designed Fiats are sought after by collectors and immediately recognizable by their "double hump" roof shape. The new concept has a similar roof shape, is lowered and has a racier, more muscular look compared with the standard 500.
Fiat SpA unveiled a racy concept version of its 500 subcompact called the Coupe Zagato at the Geneva Motor Show. The car is an homage to a 1950s Fiat model that was penned by the famous Zagato design house and saw a lot of action in the race track.

A couple of people mentioned cryogenic suspension after looking at yesterday's shot, and I guess that's one of the things it brought to mind for me, as does this shot. But while yesterday's shot was relatively peaceful (to my mind at least), this one seems much darker. The moment, perhaps, when you wake up from that dreamless sleep, to the full realisation of a world that's not quite as you expected. Or maybe I've just watched too many sci-fi films ;-)
Let me know how you think the two compare.
(If you're interested, there's a relatively straight shot of this scene here).

Shudh, as the name suggests, is a vegetarian restaurant in Paschim Vihar but it doesn't quite stop at serving only Indian food
Even as the city food scene continues to undergo a transformation with established restaurants opening outlets in new and underserved zones of Delhi, Shudh, a 90-seater multi-cuisine restaurant, has recently been launched in Paschim Vihar on Rohtak Road opposite Metro pillar No .195. As the name suggests, it serves only shudh (pure) vegetarian food but picked from across the globe. The menu is a nice mix of Continental, Oriental and Indian food.
Shudh is quite spacious and reminds me of the old Nirulas in Connaught Place where my father used to take me only after checking my annual report card. The staff at Shudh is dressed in funky caps and bright orange coloured T-shirts, giving a feel of a fast-food joint. The menu is printed on a multi-colour leaflet placed on every table. For a change, I opt for a tomato soup, it is served to me piping hot, thick with added colour. Though, I would have loved it topped with a spoon of cream.
To check out as many dishes as possible, I decide to try two appetisers from each section. From the Chinese section, I taste the dry chilli mushroom and potatoes in honey chilli. It is a roadside favourite from any Chinese vans in Delhi. The mushrooms are crisp and the dish has a nice sweet and spicy flavour. The honey chilli potatoes are crisp to the core.
The popular desi favourite, tandoori paneer tikka, comes well-roasted. I love the earthen aroma and flavours of the paneer. Next is the tandoori pineapple which I remember tasting once at a friend's wedding. It's a divine dish, juicy, has a tangy flavour. Aloo makai seekh at Shudh is one of the weakest dishes, pretty dry from inside.
The best of the lot is its soya barrah kakab. High on protein and good to taste. Dipping it in the mint chutney enhances its taste even more.
Pasta lovers can try out from the various options here. I try its garlic bread with cheese and find it quite fresh and tasty. At Shudh, they put loads of cheese which makes the bread pretty heavy.
In the main course, I taste a dry Manchurian and a couple of North Indian dishes. Mushroom masala is tasty as the sliced pieces of mushrooms soak in the flavours nicely. Malai kofta and kadhai paneer don't disappoint either. But it is the dessert section which makes my dinner memorable. Their hot chocolate fudge is a must try. It comes with scoops of vanilla in a glass dipped in hot chocolate and loaded with cashew nuts.
Meal for two - Rs.500

Facebook Quickly Becoming a Favorite Among Kids Under 12
NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Facebook may not officially allow those under 13 to create accounts, but that's not stopping 1st-6th graders from naming the site as one of their Most Loved Brands of 2010. According to Young Love, an annual study by leading youth and family research firm, Smarty Pants®, Facebook's brand affinity ranking among kids 6-12 jumped 85 positions in the past year and is now a Top 100 brand among tweens 9-12. The shift in Facebook's ranking from 2009 is among the most significant increases of the 270+ brands evaluated by more than 4,500 children and their parents.
"We see kids Facebook-ing their friends, parents, teachers and coaches everyday as we study families, but even we were surprised by the dramatic shift in Facebook's ranking," states Smarty Pants president, Wynne Tyree. "We were amazed to see the brand beat out kid favorites like Barbie, Club Penguin and Harry Potter. It reminds us that – for better and worse – kids are part of the contemporary adult conversation."
Brands that help families connect top this year's list of kids' most loved. Nintendo's Wii holds on to the #1 spot, followed closely by McDonald's, M&M'S, Disney Channel and Oreo. iPod Touch and iPad made impressive 2010 debuts at #35 and #109, respectively. Facebook leapt from #181 to #126 this year among kids 6-12 and to #91 among tweens 9-12.

Nooooo, not COBOL! Please! I promise I'll be good. Lisp and Fortran (esp. the recent, revised versions) do deserve attention though. So do Smalltalk and Prolog. All these "exotic" languages emphasise(sp?) paradigms that are imperative (hah!) to know in order to become a well rounded programmer. Java and C++ make you think that the new ideas are like the old ones. Java is the most distressing thing to hit computing since MS-DOS. Makeshifts last the longest.

uh do we have to remind you your fashist actions, that had nothing to envy to a warfare, or your incartadesin Abyssinie, how you tried to help Hitler, in backtabbing us in the back, and claiming Tunisia as a reward ! Do we have to remind you who holds Italia, vatican and the Mafia, which aren't choir children ?Now go away, you're such a non sense !
the uncultured racist
"Er, Switzerland? Norway? Denmark? Sweden? Finland? Ireland? Most of Eastern Europe "
uh probably in your lefties aeropages none told you that the Vikings (make it large with Danes, Norway, sweden) were slaves transporters in the antiquity and early middle-age, aslo as being priced blond slaves themselves for the Arabs, as far as eastern Europe or Mittle Europa, the Tziganes anyone ?
Joe Solaris
Kudos and the only one that does't push ahead venom against France.
Uh for Viet Nam, don't forget that the Americans paid us to make the war, as at the end of WW2 we were broke, the goal was to fight the communist Viets.
And please don't read into the psycho bipolar German embassador discourse, he doesn't know on which foot to dance, depends on the the anti-depression winds !
Gianni is obsessed against us, and especially Sarkozy, apart making a basic anti sarkozysm, he has nothing to add.
and for our retirement reforms, he should reread the older articles, I already said that if you started working at 16 you could retire at 60, but if you started at 22,23,24,25... then you could retire at 62, 63, 64, 65... like the gGermans, but the medias kept the bottom line for them, 67, and for us the starting line, 60 !
Gianni va te faire cuire un oeuf !
"You don't really get anything, do you? Hartz IV is social security for people without work, not for "workers".
yeah forgot the part-time jobers, that are very numerous (6,5 millions say your medias)
"But the main point is: I am pretty sure that 90% of Hartz IV recipients in Germany would never consider changing places with people in a typical French banlieue. Only a matter of time until the cars start burning again, isn't it?"
the main point is that a certain german book had so much success that the Truks adopted a low profile
surburbs problems aint ofthe whole France immigration, only about 10 % of it, I read it's the same in certain quaters of Hamburg and Berlin...
historian, you ? ein Esel, doch !
"So it was Churchill's fault that Vichy France collaborated with Nazi Germany, right? Interesting interpretation."
you haven't read the Mers el Kebir link, Churchill was making a media show for Roosevelt, thus trying to convince him to enter into the conflict, for that he had to show that was ready to not comply and be ferm in his war participation, but it's because he didn't wait for the end of the discussions with the french navy, that he bombed, and that the french crewmen hold as a betray of the alliees, Darlan the admiral that hadn't yet chosen his camp, therefore opted for Petain. No Brit ship was welcome in north Africa then, they had to show a american flag to land !
Now why hitler choose to make a armistice with France (the only country that he didn't fight until the whole country crash (like Germany in 1945), because of the main reason that the millions of soldiers and crewmen could have carried the fights in the colonies (like the navy forecasted them, being in Mers el Kebir is not like being in a Harbour of norther France). So by the armistice that some traitors signed too easily, France was forced to "démobilise" all her non war prisonner soldiers had to give back their arms and to go home, the armies were dismenteled and didn't exist anymore, thus by this manipulation Hitler was insuring that no war would occured on the west front anymore
"But then again, only half of your country was actually occupied by the Wehrmacht, wasn't it? "
By the end of 1942 (following the firt landing of the Alliees in Algeria) the whole France was occupied by the Wehrmacht and Gestapo, anyone Barbie's exploits in Lyon ?
"And Drancy, the main point of deportation for French Jews was run by the French police until 1943" which was run by Gestapo, therefore no means to refuse orders ! but trotzdem, like the Jewish researcher said, they were reluctant to obbey when it was possible.
" Among those deported were many German Jews who had fought against Franco in Spain, but were incacerated in French concentration camps "
sources ? Spanish Republicans were put in camps but they weren't concentration camps, lots of the men chose to fight with the Resistance, in Pyrenneas aeras
It's averate that Petain preferred to deport foreign Jews than the French's. But which leader would have chosen to save foreigner before his compatriots ?
"It's called "primary sources" and they are invaluable to historians."
by your teen standards only !
they are much ado that any worthy journalist could find months and years ago !
"But the question I asked and you still haven't answered is why France's image doesn't benefit but rather suffers from it"
instead of argumenting with weak points, try to get the first rank of quality of life that your government denies to your poor hartz IV workers !
and no german diplomat was chosen in the new EU onfiguration but a french one got the EU representation in Washington, may-be cause they are so bad, that even the Ashton organised the service after french advices !
carravage or un pompom qui s'ignore
"You were kind of bad in history, weren't you? German unification was not a precondition but the result of the German-French war of 1870/1871."
I'm alright with history, but you're still in the german charasteristic: manipulation of the facts, like your Bismark did for maneouvering France into a war declaration, with falsh infos like the wikiliek site would provide to put nations at each other nation throats, "la dépêche d'Ems" anyone ? wasn't ment to appease our government
german unification was already quasi achieved in 1866 after having beaten the austrian empire, Bismarck (who was a clever politician)need to focuse on France as the enemi to rally the rest of the provinces that signed definitly their alliance in 1871, Alsace Lorraine was the last provinces that Bismark wanted for achieving the big pan germanism project, according to the "volkish" german folklore of the Wotans (hey vivazapata !)
"Pour souder définitivement l'Allemagne autour de Berlin, il va dès lors oeuvrer à une guerre de l'ensemble des Allemands contre la France de Napoléon III. Comme prévu, celle-ci est battue et c'est à Versailles, dans la galerie des Glaces, le 18 janvier 1871, qu'est solennellement proclamé le IIe Reich, autour de Guillaume 1er de Hohenzollern, qui relève le titre d'empereur (en allemand Kaiser). Le grand oeuvre de Bismarck est achevé"
"France was defeated but not invaded in the common sense. Otherwise I start claiming that Germany was invaded by France in 1945"
sure you didn't overpass our border, then, why would we have lost alsace Lorraine if we had entered into german country ?
you can start saying that we invade you in 1945, and would look like a fool, your invaders were the soviets and the Alliees, most of them being Americans
The Germans have no political willl to woo the eats into the Euro. The German banks are already being held up by band aids and they dont want another Hypo. Commerzbank will most likely fall in 2011 due to liquidity problems. German realizes they are in the middle and they now have to 'act' or 'take responsibility" but they dont want this job because they cant look beyonds its borders nor its blood line (or religion). German shave always been inward looking people. They cant be "diplomatic" or "caring" because they dont knwo how to do these things. Germany is desperate. They are looking for answers and there are none. German banks will drag down the Euro. Q1 will be bad. German exports have fallen terribly.
et le pompom de la soirée est Dragos
"Unable to match Germany, Sarko is directing his frustration at the smaller EU countries like Romania and Bulgaria."
sure, that these smaller countries represent a big deal of Sarko's frustation LMAO
just you need to relativise YOUR OWN FRUSTATION, Sarko has more important things to worry about, at the moment the G20 presidency, still the bailing out of the eurozones countries... Don't forget, he is a lawer, once a affair is done, he cares for another one, and Romania's... is the last of his actual worries, say, he earned this affair last summer, he managed to make it a EU commission concern, not a french one anymore !
the cultured racist that pretends that he knows what is right for France
"France has a right wing government and a hard right, failing populist for president.
I dislike them and think that they are NOT GOOD for France"
yeah you're such a non sense in french policies with your supposed socialist open mind, France is directed by a elected government 54% vs 46%, that is majoritarly a UMP government, with centirsts, and frontistes, the laters didn't represent more that 10 % in the decade elections, but if our population is brainwashed by equivalent racist Giannis, that would like that France became the Pot-Pourri for the immigrants of the world wide, even if they aren't adopting our constitutional values, in promoting hate between our citizen... if they come over to steal our wellfares and citizen...
as far the Rainbow warrior event, I fully approve the blowing off the greenpeace ship, (just regret that the journalist died) that are sponsorred by non better inclined governments (wonder who they are, but not obviously pro westernies). Now, the Japaneses didn't take some gloves to sink one of their new catamarans last year in high sea, I'm sure that any responsible government makes the possible to stop their action wherever these excited try to doom whatever doesn't fit their socialist (previously marxist) agenda.
No, thank you, you can go back to where you come from !
Joe Solaris,
Napoleon was helped by Jefferson to not allowed a free Haiti, as the american president was one of the biggest slaves owner in Virginia. The Americans replaced us twice there, in 19th centuries for a few decades and in early 20th. We could say that The Clinton reinitiated a third occupation there as they were eager to remove the haitian government that was opposed to american businessmen to turn Haiti into their third world factories for making clothes and gadgets, also as vacancies Clubs with high standard hostellery and villas. May-be that explains why, for the earthquake, they were eager to direct the operations with their militaries...
Algeria ressources only happenned to be known during the last half of 20th centuries, the conquest of Algeria wasn't by any way motivated by that, but rather because of a tiring fight against pirats in Mediterranea (Remember, the same Jefferson sent 3 american ships to doom the lybian pirats in the early 18th too), and also because our unemployed armies need some exercises, and also that our new born manufactures need an extended space to sell their products (like the German tried with their Kaiser too, they conquierred colonies, but not so gently as us, ie Von Trotta's geneocide in Nabibia... In the beginning of the 20th century they tried to instigate revolts against France in Marroco, that they wanted to take from us), then with Hitler, then with the EU...
May-be poor racist Gianni ignore that some Algerian Kabyles manifested a few month ago "France, please reconquest us !" (I already brought the link to his equally racist fellow de Santis) or some African leaders are saying that during the colonial times the schools were working well, the healcare was beter, the infrastructures were maintained, some said that they weren't ask for independance, but forced to, De Gaulle as a good forecaster decided that as french citizens they would have had the same social and civil advantages as the French in the Metropole (like our Dom Tom departments have), for the main reason that after 3 consecutive wars we couldn't afford that.
As far as Russia is concerned, De Gaulle said that Europe should go from Brest to the Urals, as a non-alined leader, he had no selective ties with the US, nor with the Soviets, he was also the first to acknowledge China, in his mind, Europe as it was designed in Yalta by Churchill (who abandonned the Poles), Stalin and Roosevelt, shouldn't be cut in half, and should recover their autonomy and independance from the two cold war separted territories.
Joe, De Gaulle wanted an EU ''from the Atlantic to the Urals''.
For NZ and France, check out the ''faux couple Turenge'' and either Alain Mafart of the French army and/or his moll, Dominique Prieur.
They were state-sponsored French terrorists who murdered their way to honours in France for services to - allegedly - the (one and only?) republic.
One of the more disgraceful episodes of modern French foreign policy, though there are plenty of others.
Italy doesn't come into it since Italy doesn't have fantasies of being a world power.
Britain does sometimes, and very notably when going way over the top in dealing with what it may (or may not) have imagined as 'threat' from groups like the IRA - or more recently perhaps, Mr. Julian Assange?
ALLEGATIONS of rape and look at what you get!
''You really are obsessed with anti-French sentiment!''
Rubbish Joe.
France has a right wing government and a hard right, failing populist for president.
I dislike them and think that they are NOT GOOD for France.
You would appear to be thinking that they ARE France!
The article, MC is about power in euroland.
The view you present is stereotypical and shallow.
French nationalists (like you) believe that since the prototype EU was their 'invention', then it should be ruled by France, for since cocking up the values of the republic so appallingly badly in Algeria, loosing that valuable territory and its people to the EU and the republic, France can have no meaningful prospect of sitting at top political tables in the world (and being heeded) without the EU card in its hand.
Germany of course, is at a generational turning-point, which could have been (and was) predicted by some, many decades ago.
Going and gone are the generations held directly guilty for nazism.
The Germans around now in policy-design and decision-making roles no longer have direct connection to that period, and (as Sarko declares of French crimes in Algérie Française, including wanton, vengeful genocide), sons (or daughters) will not be held responsible for the crimes of their forebears.
Germany no longer needs the EU as its fig-leaf for respectability, as the earlier Bundesrepublik did under the taint of, and in atonement for nazism.
So here we have today's power clash.
It's one the French, as nationalists, will loose, Sarko or any other Le Penist notwithstanding.
The day French nationalists understand and digest the real need for France to be a full player in the EU, dropping all pretence of directoire dirigisme and following all the rules, just as is expected for and from everyone else, we will start to see a healthier system, more properly implementing the lofty, superb and deeply worthy values of French Republics.
"Nonsense, France was totally defeated in 1940 and actually became an ally of Germany afterwards, particapting willfully in its most atrocious crime, the murder of Europe's Jews"
"The report shows that German foreign ministry diplomats in Nazi-occupied Paris and throughout Europe played an active role in deciding whether Jews should be deported and sent to the gas chambers.
"If the French Resistance killed German soldiers, it was the diplomats who immediately deliberated whether to deport a thousand or 2,000 Jews to the extermination camps as a punishment," Mr Conze said."
"But Petain proved to be too clever by half. While he fought against a close Franco-German military collaboration, and fired his vice premier, Pierre Laval, for advocating it, and secretly urged Spain's dictator Francisco Franco to refuse passage of the German army to North Africa, his attempts to undermine the Axis while maintaining an official posture of neutrality did not go unnoticed by Hitler, who ordered that Laval be reinstated as vice premier. Petain acquiesced, but refused to resign in protest because of fear that France would come under direct German rule if he were not there to act as a buffer. But he soon became little more than a figurehead, despite efforts to manipulate events behind the scenes that would advance the Free French cause (then publicly denying, even denouncing, those events when they came to light)."
LONDON, May 25 (AFP) - A new biography on Marshall Philippe Petain says the head of the World War II French collaborationist government may have tried to surrender to the British in 1943, only to be flatly rejected.
"France was one of the countries controlled by the Germans at the early stages of war, but it had a high level of democratic tradition of Liberte, Fraternity and Egalite. In France about 75000 Jews perished out of a population of 350,000, about 70% survived. Many factors contributed to the relatively high survival rate, the most important factor was the attitude of the silent majority, who made it difficult of the Germans to identify and catch the Jews. Even the local police cooperated only reluctantly with the Germans, Jews were provided with false identification papers, given shelter and moral support. Jews also participated massively in the resistance and at the beginning stages about 33% of the resistance fighters were Jewish."
had Churchill not fired and bomed our navy in Mers el Kebir, Darlan would have fought with the Brits

"too bad your link is défaussé!"
It works just fine, maybe another failure of French technology?
"hmmm wikileak as your source is quite saying of your historian qualities,"
I certainly hope so. It's called "primary sources" and they are invaluable to historians. Not really surprised that you don't get that, though. I totally agree with the cables' assessment of Merkel, by the way. Still, this is about her standing in domestic politics, I don't see indications of a major German diplomatic faux pas in them. In contrast, there are many examples of French diplomatic blunders to be found. Just check it out. Or don't as your last post has shown that your knowledge of English is extremely limited.
"you should listen to the people in Spain, in Portugal, Greece, Italy"
You're missing the point here. In all likelihood Germany's image suffered in these countries in the last half year. But the question I asked and you still haven't answered is why France's image doesn't benefit but rather suffers from it.
"now go away with your arrogant Kaiser spirit!"
Is this French sovereignty over a British website? As for arrogance, nobody holds a candle to you people in this regard. As everyone who had to deal with a French waiter in his life well knows :-)
le faussaire
too bad your link is défaussé !
hmmm wikileak as your source is quite saying of your historian qualities, but like you quoted sarkozy's bad temper, they also said that la Merkel était aussi lente (mais indécise) qu'une tortue en politique !
"why in the world is it that none of the other Eurozone countries are seeking France's clout in the current crisis?"
because your propaganda machine is well oiled, but don't get that arrogant, you should listen to the people in Spain, in Portugal, Greece, Italy... what the think of the german bulldozer ! (I'm well placed for document my arguments, right now in Spain)
" A simple answer in the clear French rationalist manner would suffice. But reiterating your well-known convictions about France's "grandeur" just doesn't cut it.
I suppose Germans were thinking of the EU as a whole whe they accused Greeks of swallowing german workers benefits !
I wonder if you aren't calling yourself "humble" soon !
now go away with your arrogant Kaiser spirit !
Marie Claude:
"you'll never overpass our diplomaty aura"
Really? How do you explain the results of the last annual BBC poll on countries' images in which Germany turned out to be the country with the best image of all those polled? (check out http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8626041.stm). In comparison, France's image was well below that of the EU as a whole. Doesn't look to me like the French diplomats did a better job in the past in selling their country's image abroad than the German diplomats. But then again, some of us read the Wikileaks cables and found out about your president's funny penchant for insulting several of his host nations. No real suprise there.
"just see how in the late 6 month your elite of politicians and banksters ruined the 'appeasing' image that Germany tried to get for 60 years !"
This is making things even more mesmerizing. If a) the German stance on the Euro has in fact destroyed my country's positive international image, and b) French diplomcay is so much better than the German, why in the world is it that none of the other Eurozone countries are seeking France's clout in the current crisis? The result should be a boost for France's position. Instead the "Economist" (as pars pro toto for many international analysts) sees your country's standing diminished. How do you explain that? A simple answer in the clear French rationalist manner would suffice. But reiterating your well-known convictions about France's "grandeur" just doesn't cut it.
who are you to silent me ?
Remember, I'm French, and FREE !
le faussaire
"Actually I am, but that is beside the point"
say, it's beside the objective truth !
"It's becoming all too clear that the sole purpose of your postings here is stirring up dated national animosities"
Again the well known german aptitude for "DENY", you were the one that shot at me and at the French, so suffer that I fire back at your sided opinion
"What a pathetic appeal for support from UK readers" boff, your twisted interpretation can't see that France and UK made a alliance for defense (again), isn't it odd that it did ask Germany, or Italy for it !!!
"Can't leave that job to France since it already failed miserably twice."
that's certainly a historian appreciation, since only 1870 can be acknowled as a defeat !
if you'd thought of 1940 battle, then UK was also defeated, but we, and the Alliees, finally won the war. (didn't you want to tell us that we were your invadors in 1945?)
"Please! You probably feel just irked by the basic premise of the article, that is that France is playing now second fiddle in Europe, and you want to went your anger. I feel for you"
who say so, you? the Economist author ? but it's all demagogy, it's not new from this media agenda !
you'll never overpass our diplomaty aura ! just see how in the late 6 month your elite of politicians and banksters ruined the "appeasing" image that Germany tried to get for 60 years !
"If all your countrymen would share your narrow understanding of history and of France's position, you would already be third of fourth class because nobody would take you seriously"
propaganda doesn't go without a moral lesson by your standards !

The Accelerated Academy celebrates Pi Day
The Accelerated Academy celebrated International Pi Day on March 14th – 3.14.12-- with a math contest. The purpose of Pi (π) Day is to celebrate math curriculum, prove that math is fun, and to promote math awareness! Pi (π) represents the relationship between a circle's diameter (its width) and its circumference (the distance around the circle), a number rounded off to 3.14.
Pi Day at the Academy is part of the on-going mission of the new mathematics specialist, Tairay Skolnick. Ms. Skolnick recently graduated from the mathematics program at U.C.L.A. Ms. Skolnick loves math and wants children and youth to love it also. As the Mathematics Specialist at the Accelerated Academy, Ms. Skolnick provides math support for high school (through Calculus and Trigonometry, as well as finite math). She also plans and promotes all the math enhanced learning activities from kindergarten through high school. Whether it is understanding geometry or game theory, Ms. Skolnick says, "math is no problem." Kids throughout the program are shown how math relates to every facet of our lives from cooking in the kitchen to understanding the stock market.
Ms. Skolnick enjoyed being a part of the U.C.L.A. math department that used theories involving parabola and hyperbole formulas to help solve a problem for NASA.
To celebrate International Pie Day the students solved two math riddles. The winners of the riddle contest earned the privilege of throwing a "pie" in the face of the new principal, Andrew Garcia. Principal Garcia was excited that all the children worked so hard to solve the problem Several students worked their way to the right answer earning them a "pie in the face privilege." According to Principal Garcia, "A pie in the face is a small price to pay to help children and youth learn to love math."
The Accelerated Academy is located at 1250 Erbes Road in Thousand Oaks and is a ministry of First Baptist Church offering education to children from 2 years old through an accredited high school.

Jones was through 14 holes and Fergus through nine when play in the seniors tournament was halted for the second time.
A midmorning thunderstorm caused an initial delay of more than 3 1/2 hours. Another line of storms moved in several hours later, causing the second weather stoppage. The decision to suspend the round came an hour later.

Introduction to object based learning
UCL Museums and Collections offers a wide range of high quality museum collections, digital resources and innovative ideas for teaching in the University.
For guidance and support on how to make use of UCL's diverse museum collections in your undergraduate and postgraduate teaching please contact the Teaching Fellow in Object Based Learning: Leonie Hannan at firstname.lastname@example.com
Benefits of using real objects in learning
- They provide a direct link with a topic or 'the past' and can really enhance young people's interest in and understanding of a topic/subject.
- They encourage young people to use all their senses – especially touch, sight and smell.
- They help to develop the important skill of drawing conclusions based on an examination of evidence, together with an understanding of the limitations and reliability of evidence.
- They are ideal for generating group and class discussion.
- They promote the value of museums and encourage young people to visit museums and galleries with their families to further their learning.

Not far down the road I want to replace my O2 sensors. I'm considering using the Bosch models instead of the factory ones. Any opinions on this? Better yet, does anyone have any experience with the Bosch sensors? Check my signature for my vehicle specs so you know what engine and year I'm referring to. Thanks in advance.
I just put one (a Bosch O2 sensor) into my truck ... as in 3ish weeks ago. No issues. Get the OEM fitment instead of the universal fitment. It may also help to bring the old one in with you. I mention that because I knew exactly what I needed, told them what I needed ("bank 2 downstream O2 sensor for a 04 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L v8 gasser, please"), they looked it up and sold it to me ... and when I got home it had the wrong connector on it. This was not Bosch's fault, it was the store's fault. I did my own lookup and went back with both the part number and the bum O2 sensor so I could make damn sure they didn't nail me, again. As for replacing your sensors ... when my passenger side downstream sensor began to go, I talked to my mechanic (I don't do certain things on my truck ... yet ... so I actually have a pair of mechanics I've known for years and trust completely) because I'm a preventative maintenace type of guy ... and considered replacing all four of them. He suggested I deal with them each as they go rather than all at once ... saying some might croak and some may last until it's time to crush the truck -- so why spend the money unless you have to. *shrug* I took his advice. Do you have multiple sensors that are shot, or something?
That's good news. BTW, do you have stock computer programming or flashed? Anyway, good to hear. I'm thinking of replacing all 4 just to get it over with as at least two of them are intermittent. I just wanted to get it over with and install 4 of them. They're not that expensive and I can do the job myself. I appreciate the feedback.
I'm running a custom tune. However, it made no difference and shouldn't for a stock tune, either. The computer has no idea what kind/brand of sensors are in the system; it merely cares that they are connected and sending the correct signals. The benefit of OEM fitment is that the wires are precisely the same length as OEM sensors ... so you don't have an extra wad of wire to either cut/trim/reconnect or tuck somewhere and hope it doesn't gshort, get caught on something (like brush) under the truck, and/or break. You might check for breaks in the wires of your intermittent sensors -- it's a common problem and is often the cause of intermittent operation. i.e. It could be that a simple wire repair will resolve the issue ... and cost you next to nothing. If, however, the code you're getting is about the heater resistance circuit, then replacement is probable, as the circuit within the sensor that pre-heats the sensor (so the computer doesn't have to wait for the vehicle to wam up) is failing. If/when you do your replacements, I strongly recommend the use of anti-seize compound (just as you might on spark plugs), else the next time you go to tackle them you may run into one that just won't turn.

Globalization and new strategies for growth
Succeeding in rapid-growth markets is harder than it used to be
Among our respondents, almost three-quarters say that rapid-growth markets will make a significant contribution to boosting their revenue growth over the next three years.
Role of rapid-growth markets in revenue growth |
But there are grounds for caution.
Rapid-growth markets can be difficult environments in which to do business, as many multinationals have found. More than half of our respondents think that these investments require much longer time horizons.
Betting the future on rapid-growth markets simply because they have the right economic and demographic conditions is not enough.
Almost half think that the cost of entering these markets was much greater than they had expected. A similar proportion thinks that Western executives overestimate the long-term growth potential of investing in these economies.
Attitudes toward rapid-growth markets |
A number of factors contribute to the "squeeze" on the ability of multinationals to extract value from rapid-growth markets. Multinationals entering China, India or Brazil must compete against other global firms who all see rapid-growth markets as their future.
They also face increasingly stiff competition from local companies that are growing. Ten years ago, there were just 21 companies from rapid-growth markets on the Fortune 500. Today, that number has risen to 75.
Companies also face the prospect of slowing growth, although the pace remains well above the rates seen in the developed world. Developed-market respondents point to asset price bubbles as the risk that could derail growth in fast-growth markets over the next three years.
Companies headquartered in rapid-growth markets worry less about asset prices and more about inflation, which continues to cause problems in some markets despite tightening monetary policy.
Key risks of rapid-growth markets |
Rapid-growth markets also have to contend with rising wealth inequality, a drop in exports to developed markets and heavy capital inflows that could become destabilizing. Among our respondents, 46% expect an economic slowdown in China over the next five years.
"There's no doubt that China will get richer over the next 10 years, but I do think there is a myopic presumption that all it has to do is continue to grow along a straight line and the future is inevitable and predetermined," says George Magnus, Senior Economic Adviser at UBS.
Betting the future on rapid-growth markets simply because they have the right economic and demographic conditions is not enough.
"If you're investing in these markets just because there are lots of Chinese or Indians, that's not exactly proprietary insight," says Pankaj Ghemawat, Anselmo Rubiralta Professor of Global Strategy at IESE Business School and author of World 3.0: Global Prosperity and How to Achieve It (Harvard Business Press Books, 2011). "Yet this is still the overarching strategic rationale behind many companies' plans."
"My prescription is that companies must pay careful attention to identifying the differences between these markets and those with which they are more familiar – and figure out strategies for addressing those differences."
Response: think like a start-up |
1. Shed organizational baggage.Developed-world multinationals have spent years refining their business processes and perfecting their business model. This experience gives them strong advantages, but it can also be a burden. Processes may be rigid, business models may be tired and the organization may lack the flexibility to adapt in response to changing external stimuli. Investing in rapid-growth markets without adapting these legacy processes is often a recipe for disaster. "Although a lot more companies are planning to invest in emerging markets, not all of them are ready and not all are organized to do so," says NV "Tiger" Tyagarajan, President and CEO of Genpact, a business process management company. "They still run their companies the same way that they did 30 years ago, and their leaders are still people who haven't travelled globally or who don't understand those markets." Companies should rethink their approach from the ground up and behave more like a start-up than an established multinational. This will give greater flexibility and agility, and put them on the same level with local companies. Local companies are typically much younger and less encumbered with organizational baggage. 2. Devise innovative strategies that will secure a quick payoff.In the past, companies recognized that investments in rapid-growth markets would take considerable time to earn a return. This was fine, as long as they could fund the new investments using profits from their core markets. With developed markets slowing and needing their own investment in order to maintain competitiveness, it is no longer possible to recycle capital in this way. "With no growth in developed markets, companies need to invest in those economies just to maintain their market share," says Tyagarajan. This liberates managers to develop innovative solutions that will enable them to earn a much quicker return. "Business leaders of multinational subsidiaries in emerging markets will have to figure out some really creative ways to get off the ground quickly and ensure growth by finding a self-sustaining model," says Navi Radjou, Independent innovation and leadership consultant and a Fellow at Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge. 3. Take a broader stakeholder view toward the investment.The financial crisis has re-awakened the debate about the role of business in society. Pure shareholder value creation is falling out of favor. In its place is a recognition that companies need to take into account the needs of a broader range of stakeholders. Nowhere is this more apparent than in rapid-growth markets. With stakeholders including government, local communities and partners, the line can blur between the state and business. Governments can play a significant role in setting industrial policy and prioritizing investment. Companies that enter rapid-growth markets often need to build infrastructure around them, which means that they are deeply involved in the development of the country itself, not just their own investment. "You have to get involved in building up the institutions that will allow your company to operate," says Rakesh Khurana, Marvin Bower Professor of Leadership Development at the Harvard Business School. "A lot of the institutional gaps exist precisely where the biggest growth opportunities lie, so companies need to think holistically about how they enter these markets and work with external stakeholders. They need to have a higher purpose that goes beyond pure economic logic and they need to think institutionally." |

Why did you choose this product?
I also reviewed the 5 X 7. I was concerned about purchasing due to the low price. I am happy with the purchase and it is certainly well worth the sale price. The rug is true to color on my monitor. The predominate colors are gold and black. The blue is there, but it is slight. There is a lot of pink and that's how it shows on my monitor. The red is a brick red not a bright red. You could almost call it toward the mauve line, if that makes sense. The rugs will work fine for me and they are a great value. Thanks, Overstock.

Beautiful, soft rug Beautiful plush rug. Very good quality for even three times the price. Colors are very true to what I see on my monitor. It does shed a bit, but all wool rugs seem to do that. Wish this rug came in other sizes, because I would buy a couple of smaller ones.

Great value, great quality Great rug for the price. I have many high quality rugs and needed something for a high traffic area that I didn't have to worry about getting ruined. The knots per inch are not very high, so it's softer to the feel and the pattern is not very crisp, but for the price, it's fantastic, colors are beautiful, and it's much thicker than they advertised, I would say easily 1", and it serves my purpose extremely well. Backing is solid and the rug is well made. It blends beautifully with my interior and other rugs. Color is spot on!! Thank you "O" for another great value, great quality product!!!

Not as expected At first when I rolled it out I thought they had sent me the wrong rug. I had it in storage for a month before looking at it due to time constraints and moving in a new house, but when I rolled it out the green is more CREAM color. Cream is the dominent color. I was not happy but I thought it would be too much trouble to return.

Mine has not shed much, only a half container in the vacuum. I have noticed a few of the knots in the feel of mine, as another reviewer noted, but not enough to bother me.

Thank you for your interest. This item is a true 8 X 10. The colors are: Moon Indigo,Olive Green,Chino Green,Mustard Gold and Ashley Blue,Black. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Also, can you tell me where the color ashley blue is? Thanks!

Thank you for bringing this error to our attention. It has been corrected. The item is wool.

Daniel and the Woodland Gnomes
A cool, satisfying breeze whisked across Daniel Martin's freckled brow as he stood alongside his favorite fishing stream. With a smooth underhand flip, his cork bobber went sailing, and when it hit the water, it made a subtle splash. The 12-year-old boy then sat against a shady oak tree, and stretched his wiry legs.
"Ok, fish. Come and get it," he grumbled.
It was a hot day. This made Daniel more irritable than he already was. The fight he'd had earlier with his younger brother, Alex, was still fresh in his mind. He couldn't stop thinking about it.
Daniel grumbled again. "Why does he always have to be such a little pest? I told him I'd bring him here tomorrow." His voice grew louder as he continued. "Sometimes I wish he'd never been born. Then I wouldn't have to worry about him annoying me all the time."
Daniel had never spoken of his little brother in such a way. Dropping his head in shame, his face flushed, and guilt struck him. He sighed and picked aimlessly at the grass on which he sat. His biggest regret, however, had been when he'd shoved Alex, making him tumble to the ground. He could still see the image of his brother, crying, and running home with his fishing pole. Daniel's eyes moistened with tears.

Wide Variety of Online Classes Still Available for Fall Semester
More than 90 classes still available - register today!
AUGUST 7, 2013 -- More than 90 online classes are still available at Allan Hancock College this fall. Online classes have proven to be a popular option for many busy college students who enjoy the flexibility and convenience that they provide. Students can complete their coursework at their own pace at home or on campus computers, which helps them accommodate work, family and/or transportation constraints.
Details about the online classes are available via the Allan Hancock College website at www.hancockcollege.edu; click Class Search in the upper right corner of the home page, and then select Online in the Location box.
Some online classes require an orientation prior to the start of classes. Orientation details are available via Class Search by clicking the blue class CRN.
Online students living outside the college's area may request test proctoring. For details, visit the Allan Hancock College Testing Center (Quick Link "Testing").
In addition to online classes, more than 400 onsite classes are still available this fall at the college's Santa Maria campus and at the Lompoc Valley, Solvang and Vandenberg AFB centers. For details about these classes, search by location via the online Class Search.
Registration for all fall credit classes continues through Aug. 23. Many classes begin the week of Aug. 19, with Fast Track classes starting throughout the semester. Register online at www.hancockcollege.edu; click the Apply & Register link on the home page.
All new students and students without a user name and password must first apply to the college before registering for classes. Access the online admission application by clicking the Apply & Register link on the home page.
All California residents pay a $46 per credit enrollment fee. In addition, all students pay a $19 health fee. Students attending classes at the Santa Maria campus also pay up to $10 a year for the Student Center fee. Other minimal fees may apply.
Financial aid is available. To see if you quality, contact the Santa Maria campus financial aid office at (805) 922-6966 ext. 3200 or email@example.com.
All new and returning students (those students not enrolled in the previous semester) must apply to the college by completing an online admissions application, accessed by clicking the Apply and Register link.
Print copies of the fall 2013 Schedule at a Glance are available at all college sites and local public libraries, while supplies last. The Schedule at a Glance contains a basic listing of fall credit classes being offered at the time of publication. Students must still access the online Class Search to obtain the details they will need in order to plan their fall class schedule.
Many new, continuing and returning students must be assessed prior to enrolling. This is done through START (Student Testing, Advising, Retention and Transition). START is a process developed by Allan Hancock College to help students succeed in college. The assessment is not an entrance exam. Anyone 18 years or older who can benefit from instruction is eligible to attend Allan Hancock College. Students with certain qualifications, including students taking classes for life-long learning or those with degrees, are exempt from assessment. For assessment requirements, dates and times of testing and a complete list of exemptions to assessment, please refer to the AHC Testing Center Web page (see "Student Services" on the drop down menu), or call 922-6966 or toll free 1-866-DIAL AHC (342-5242) ext. 3364.
For more registration information, call the Admissions & Records office at 922-6966 ext. 3248. The toll free number in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties is 1-866-DIAL AHC (342-5242) ext. 3248.
