About the Book
The snow is falling, the holidays are approaching and…It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies! This delightfully depraved book of classic Zombie Christmas carols by Michael P. Spradlin is guaranteed to spread Yuletide cheer to all those good boys and ghouls who devoured the monster New York Times bestsellers Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and World War Z, as well as fans of 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead. With an introduction by the inimitable Christopher Moore—bestselling author of Bloodsucking Fiends, You Suck, and the classic "heartwarming tale of Christmas terror" The Stupidest Angel—It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies is a great gift for stuffing into a Christmas stocking…provided you remove the bloody severed foot first!
Fresh brains roasting on an open fire . . .
Outside the temperature's dropping. The snow is falling, blanketing the world in white. Sleigh bells are jingling. Soon it will be that most wondrous time of the year!
That time of flesh-devouring zombie horror!
Yes, Christmas is on its way—and all the little boys and ghouls are dreaming of stockings filled with candied eyes and bleeding body parts. You'd better watch out! Santa Claws is coming to town—and he knows who's been naughty, who's been naughtier . . . and who'll taste best with a nice glass of Chianti!
In celebration of this merry macabre season, we present a peerless compendium of more than two dozen of the most soul-stirring, brain-boiling carols composed specifically for the decomposing. Holiday favorites such as "I Saw Mommy Chewing Santa Claus," "Deck the Halls with Parts of Wally," and "We Three Spleens" are guaranteed to lift the spirits of the lumbering, shuffling undead and their temporarily still breathing meals-to-be. So put down your gore-splattered baseball bats and raise your voices in song! And sing loudly—to drown out all the screaming.

"Spillover and Mobility of Species and Solid Surfaces" collects the papers which were presented at the Fifth International Conference Spillover, either as oral or poster contributions, as well as the summaries of the invited lectures. This congress and its publication in the Studies on Surface Science and Catalysis series follow the tradition of previous conferences on spillover, initiated in Lyon, 1983, and continued in Leipzig, 1989, Kyoto 1993 and Dalian, 1997. For the fifth conference, held in S.L. el Escorial (Madrid), the organising committee has attempted to compile representative contributions which illustrate the advances in understanding the spillover phenomenon since 1997. Spillover is a process taking place during the interface of gas reactant molecules (mainly hydrogen and oxygen) on solid surfaces. However, different contributions to the more general area of the chemistry at surfaces, related with the mobility and migration of species, diffusion through membranes, fuel cell catalysts, etc., have also been included. In fact the title of the present volume summarizes this attempt to extend the conference topics towards dynamics at surfaces.
Among the 70 contributions received, the 56 accepted papers were selected on the basis of the reports of at least two international reviewers, according to standards comparable to those applied for other specialised journals. These papers are from 21 different countries.
For chemists and industrialists involved in research and development of catalytic systems. For scientists working in the field of colloid and surface science in research and applications.

I never understand complaints about plays being "dated." Naturally, all plays that weren't written yesterday are dated: Their diction, their costumes, their stage conventions, and their mores all belong to the time when they were conceived. That's what makes them interesting: the excitement of comparing their view of the world with ours, of seeing how well their sense of humanity still holds up, or doesn't, despite all the obstacles time has piled in between.
Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band is approaching its 41st birthday; Sam Shepard's A Lie of the Mind premiered 25 years ago. Though both are "dated," neither feels old-hat: The flaws perceivable in them now are the same ones noted when they were born. And thanks to largely effective productions, the life in both seems fresh, a vivid picture of Then that tells us, by comparison, a lot about Now.
Boys was the first mainstream play to feature all gay characters, with one possible straight thrown in for contrast. It employs the old convention, still in use, of a one-of-each-type group of people trapped in a confined space. Michael's birthday party for his dear and loathed friend Harold, which nobody is allowed to leave, becomes the equivalent of the drifting lifeboat, the snowed-in bus stop, the deadlocked jury room, and other locales that have served the genre. Amid tears and laughter, every character shows what mettle he has, or lacks, and a social consensus either is or isn't reached before rescue, or disaster, arrives.
Crowley's characters escape, but they carry disaster within them, in the form of gay men's ongoing problem with a world where homosexuality is a crime. Time has alleviated, but not eradicated, the problem. That Crowley used the convention now seems, in retrospect, a subversive act. The set of types trapped in one place implies a microcosm of society. By composing his society entirely of gay men, Crowley was positing their equivalence to the larger society: Gays = people. In a theatrical culture that for centuries had chiefly viewed homosexuals as weirdos, psychos, home-wreckers, or comic sissies, this was an astonishing step forward.
Prophetic, too, was the script's exploration of issues like gay identity, internalized self-hatred, and the same vexed question about fidelity in gay relationships that torments the contemporary couple in The Pride. Crowley wove them all into this tautly crafted, slightly contrived, melodrama, laced with cyanide-flecked gag lines, an astonishing number of which went instantly into common urban parlance.
Director Jack Cummings III's Transport Group revival of Boys, staged in a loft space, with the audience as silent "guests" seated around Michael's apartment, heightens the dramatic pressure with its closeness while dissipating some of the precious details. You can't scan the group's varied reactions to an event if one is leaning on the windowsill right behind you, and two more huddle in a far corner, past the range of any lamp. Judging the performances gets further complicated by persistent memories of the original 1969 cast: Its spectacular work, preserved in the film version, often seems to hover over today's intonations and stances; Jon Levinson's sardonic Harold, in particular, seems to transmit echoes of the unforgettable Leonard Frey.
No question, though, about one performance: Jonathan Hammond's Michael, a tightly wound ball of nerves, always seemingly about to explode as he veers from giddy camp sociability to snark-tongued nastiness and on to cold, naked rage before he collapses in a blubbering heap. Hammond took one hostile moment so fiercely that I thought Kevyn Morrow's Bernard—an exceptionally strong, forthright performance in a role often played weakly—might be about to deck him. Understandably: Michael, a quasi-autobiographical figure, is an awful person; worse, he knows it. One reason Crowley's play retains its freshness, notwithstanding its contrivances, is that he was unafraid to put his own worst, as well as his best, self into it—another bold act, in a time when gays lived surrounded by fear.
A Lie of the Mind offers a handy hetero counterbalance to Boys—an unsparingly crazy picture of all that's dreadful in "normal" family life, perfectly demonstrating what Michael's friends came to Manhattan to escape. Jake (Alessandro Nivola) and Beth (Marin Ireland) are a Wild West Romeo and Juliet, two kids so insanely in love they pick up each other's brain waves, but whose families loathe each other. Naturally, Jake, obsessively jealous, has beaten Beth senseless, causing brain damage. Naturally, she still loves him anyway, though this somehow doesn't stop her, while recuperating, from deciding she must marry Jake's brother, Frankie (Josh Hamilton), triggering frenzies in her own brother, Mike (Frank Whaley), whose fixation on Beth is as obsessive as that of Jake's sister, Sally (Maggie Siff), for her paranoid bro.
Add three elders—Jake's mom (Karen Young) and Beth's parents (Laurie Metcalf and Keith Carradine)—all mired in detachment or denial, and you have the recipe for a Shepard vision. Occupying opposite halves of the stage, the two clans suggest a stereopticon slide, its paired pictures somehow gone too far out of kilter to produce a coherent three-dimensional image.
The recipe never jells; the ingredients, familiar from many earlier Shepard plays, have been ladled on too thickly. The narrative seems to implode, tunneling away from the audience rather than exploding into action, while the characters appear to lose interest in it before we do.

Slowdown in world economy to impact growth
Over 100 Cos defy bear hug
Mumbai, July 6 While a few of these companies have registered a growth of nearly two-fold or three-fold, a number of them have seen their values growing by more than 10 per cent with an average surge of nearly 15 per cent. The stock market has been mostly on a downslide for close to six months now and its benchmark Sensex as well as total valuation has dipped by close to a third since January 10. The barometer index, Sensex, had scaled a lifetime high of 21,206.77 points on January 10 before embarking on a southward journey losing close to 8,000 points till now. A number of large-cap companies have seen their valuations dip sharply - with a loss of close to Rs five trillion by companies headed by the countrys five richest individuals, namely Mukesh and Anil Ambani, K. P. Singh, Azim Premji and Sunil Mittal. The net loss has been more than Rs 25 trillion for all the listed entities in the country. However, an estimated 114 companies have actually seen their market value growing in this period, shows an analysis of change in M-cap figures since January 10. In absolute terms, these companies have seen their market capitalisation growing by close to Rs 46,000 crore to more than Rs 3,54,000 crore. However, just about 30 companies out of these have a market capitalisation of more than Rs 1,000 crore and the growth has been mostly in single or double-digit percentage points for these firms. In absolute terms, the biggest gain of close to Rs 9,000 crore has been for Infosys, followed by over Rs 5,000 crore for Sun Pharma and Ranbaxy. Besides, companies like Cairn India, Satyam, Glenmark Pharma and Sterling Intl have also seen a surge of about Rs 2,000-4,000 crore. Other major gainers in this period include Cipla, Nestel India, GlaxoSmithKline, REI Agro, Spice Communications and ICI India, BOC India and Temptation Foods. In percentage terms, the growth has been relatively modest at about 10 per cent for companies like Infosys, Cairn, Satyam and relatively better at 25-35 per cent for Sun Pharma and Ranbaxy. However, companies like Sterling Intl, Zandu Pharma, Khaitan Weaving, Sandur Manganese, Gujarat Foils, Champagne Vine, KLG Capital, Choksh Infotech and Rollatainers have seen a gravity-defying surge with their market values more than doubling in this period.

We are facing digital doomsday
London, July 6 More than 85 per cent of the available addresses have already been allocated and the rest will run out by 2011, according to a prediction by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. These are not the normal web addresses that you type into your browsers window. These are the numerical internet protocol (IP) addresses that denote individual devices connected to the Internet. They form the foundation for all online communications, from e-mail and web pages to voice chat and streaming video. IP addresses are so basic to the success of the Internet that you really do not need to know a websites domain name if you know their IP. In fact, domain names are only a convenience for people who have better luck remembering to type, say, www.google.com, than they would have trying to remember Googles IP address of 184.108.40.206. When the current IP address scheme, called Internet Protocol Version 4 (Ipv4), was introduced in 1981, there were hardly 500 computers connected to the Internet. The address makers at that time allowed four billion addresses, thinking they would last for ever. They have been nearly gobbled up in just under 30 years! As addresses run dry, we will all feel the pinch: Internet speeds will drop and new connections and services will either be expensive or simply impossible to obtain. The solution to the shortage is to upgrade to a new address protocol. The Internet protocols are prepared by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and smooth operation of the Internet. It is already prepared for the doomsday. It has devised a replacement system called IPv6 more than a decade ago providing enough addresses for billions of devices as well as improving Internet phone and video calls, and possibly even helping to end e-mail spam. Then why the doomsday predictions? The problem is that the new system is not really compatible with the Internet of today. If, for example, Google wants to support IPv6, it will need to build a whole new IPv6 web service, complete with new domain names, servers and bandwidth. The costs run into billions. Until such time, start looking at the countdown clock for the doomsday at penrose.uk6x.com. IANS |
Indian firms losing more on US bourses
Mumbai/New York, July 6 Eleven Indian companies, which are listed both in local stock market and on the NYSE or Nasdaq in the US, have seen their collective market capitalisation in India plunge by over Rs 1,55,000 crore (about $48.7 billion) since January 10, after which the downslide began on Dalal Street. In comparison, these firms have seen their Wall Street valuations, based on market cap figures in the US bourses, dipping by a higher $55.7 billion in the same period. These companies include four IT companies Infosys, Wipro, Satyam and Patni Computer, two largest private sector lenders ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank, Tata groups Tata Motors and Tata
Communications, Vedanta groups Sterlite Industries, public sector telecom major MTNL
and pharma major Dr Reddys Labs. The US market valuation of these 11 companies stand at about $95.6 billion, down from $151.3 billion on January 10 when The Indian stock market benchmark Sensex had scaled its lifetime high of 21,206.77 points. In comparison, the Indian market valuation of these companies stand at about Rs 3,95,000 crore (about $91.5 billion), down from about Rs 5,50,000 crore ($140 billion) as on January 10. A sharp depreciation in the Indian currency versus the dollar has also contributed to a bigger fall in their local market valuations in the US currency terms. While all the companies have seen their US market values dipping in this period, Satyam is the only that has seen the dollar value of its Indian market value rising in this period. Among the individual companies, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Infosys, Tata Communications and Tata Motors have seen larger erosion in their US market capitalisations as compared to that for the Indian market. However, companies like Wipro, Sterlite, Patni, MTNL and Dr Reddys have seen almost similar fall in both the US and Indian market capitalisations.
Profit on STT-paid shares is tax free
by S.C. Vasudeva Q. I am a senior citizen house wife. I have no regular source of income. However, in the past I worked as an L.I.C. agent for about 12 years and earned commission. With this amount I have purchased Reliance Industry shares and their value at present is between Rs 6-7 lakh. I want to sell these shares in one lot and with this proceed I will invest the amount for construction of shop for my grand sons. I have been told, that as shares are more than one-year-old, as such tax or any other liability is due to be paid as S.T.T. Education cess Tax was paid by me at the time of purchase of said shares. I want to know to whether I have to pay any tax what-so-ever? Can I utilise the amount for construction work? Raj Vasudeva, Faridabad A. Long term capital gain earned on the sale of shares on which security transaction tax (STT) is paid at the time of sale, is exempt from tax. It will be advisable for you to sell these shares through a broker so that the transaction is effected through a stock exchange and the STT is paid thereon. The amount of long term capital gain on such a sale would not be taxable in view of the provisions of Section 10(38) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, (the Act). The gross amount realised on sale of shares can thus be utilised for construction of shops. Gift to relatives Q. Please clarify the following points relating to gifting money to relatives:- 1. To which persons/relatives the money can be gifted and is there any limit fixed for this amount in any financial year? 2. Are daughters-in-law and grandsons covered in the point (1) above? 3. What are the formalities/conditions to be fulfilled at the time of gifting money? 4. In whose income the income from gifted money, if any, shall be accounted for in case of a minor i.e. the person who has gifted money or the guardian? Pawan K Garg,Patiala A.
According to the provisions of Section 56 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, any sum of money, the aggregate value of which exceeds Rs. 50,000/- is received without consideration i.e. as a gift by an individual or an HUF in any previous year by a person, the whole of such aggregate amount will be chargeable to tax in the hands of the recipient as income from other sources. One of the exceptions provided in the section is in respect of amount received from a relative. The term relative has been defined to include: 1. spouse of the individual; 2. brother or sister of the individual; 3. brother or sister of the spouse of the individual; 4. brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual; 5. any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual; 6. any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual; and 7. spouse of the person referred to in (2) to (6). A gift received by a daughter-in-law from her father-in-law or by a grandson from a grand father would be covered within the exception. The gift of an amount can be made by a simple letter and there are no other formalities required except that the gift so made must be accepted by the donee. This can also be in the form of an acceptance letter. In case of gift to a minor, the income from the transferred asset will be clubbed with the income of the parent whose income is higher. Such clubbing is required to be made till the minor attains majority after which such income will be taxable as his income. SGTC tax Q. I am a salary earner person , having a PAN and file IT return every year. I would like to know more about STCG tax on equity shares. Let me proceed this way My brokerage house charges me following expenses - A) Brokerage B) Service tax on
brokerage C) STT D) stamp Duty E) transaction charges F) CDSL charges on sale of equity Suppose I purchase share worth Rs 1,000, which includes Rs 50 as sum of a) to e). Rs 50 is my expense and Rs 950 is actual cost and after two months, if I sell all shares for Rs 2,000, including Rs 50 as sum of a) to e). It means I will get only Rs 1,950. How do I calculate short term tax? Please tell me how much will be my net profit? Mayank Dubey A.
On the basis of the facts given, the amount of charges paid for acquiring the shares would become part of the cost of the shares. Accordingly, the cost of shares would be Rs 1,000 less the amount of STT which would not form part of the cost. The charges paid at the time of sale of shares would be deductible from the sale price and therefore the net sale price would be Rs 1,950. The short term gain, therefore, would be the difference between the two amounts. The same would be taxable for assessment year 2009-10 at the rate of 15 per cent plus applicable education cess. |
Slowdown in world economy to impact growth
New Delhi, July 6 The Plan Panel deputy chief said fiscal 2008-09 by all accounts was a bad year for the world economy and Indias growth rate would be impacted adversely. It is for this reason that economic growth may moderate to about 8 per cent, instead of the targetted 8.5 per cent in FY08. If in a year the world economy is going through its most difficult phase, then I think that Indian economy registering 8 per cent growth is not a bad deal, Ahluwalia said. He was hopeful that the slow down in the world economy would bottom out next year and the India economy would stand to benefit from it. Ahluwalia said India in fact was not much affected unlike some other countries and felt that the double digit inflation was mostly a result of external factors, including the soaring global crude oil prices. He said the measures taken by the government and the RBI would take some time to bring results on the ground. UNI |

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 180,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's free investing community, three-dimensional printer maker ExOne (NASDAQ: XONE ) has received a distressing two-star ranking.

On CAPS, 22% of the 81 members who have rated ExOne believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just this past week, one of those Fools, All-Star 4Foolz, touched on the stock's seemingly unsustainable price run:
The stock just IPO'd and the 3D printing euphoria took it away! I think this is a great short here. ExOne is a small company based in PA that just went public, surely trying to ride the 3D printing craze. ... At the IPO price, they were selling at 10+ times sales. At the current price 80% higher, that number is at 20x sales. The company is not profitable. In fact, their losses keep growing year over year. ... Lots of red flags here. I am certain there will be a lot more equity dilution coming down the road at much lower prices.
We've found another growth play we are incredibly excited about -- excited enough to dub it "The Only Stock You Need to Profit From the NEW Technology Revolution." We have compiled a special free report for investors to uncover this stock today. The report is 100% free, but it won't be here forever, so click here to access it now.

The request is part of an announced realignment of U.S. forces in Japan, set to be complete by 2014, which will see the Marines transferred from the Japanese island prefecture of Okinawa to Guam, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported Sunday.
Japanese Defense Ministry sources told the newspaper officials have started making arrangements to appropriate the money, which it said is expected to cover U.S. costs to prepare land in Guam for the Marines' new quarters there.
Officials told the newspaper a far larger amount eventually will need to be set aside complete the relocation. The U.S. government is expected to present a preliminary plan for that by the end of July.

Survivor: South Pacific
Exclusive: Christine Shields Markoski talks 'Survivor: South Pacific'
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 11/03/2011
Christine Shields Markoski's
: South Pacific adventure was cut very short, as she was voted out of her Upolu tribe at their first Tribal Council visit of the season -- the 23rd
edition's second Tribal Council session overall.
However, Shields Markoski wasn't planning on giving up or going home anytime soon after she arrived at Redemption Island. She hoped to eventually get back into the game and swap tribes to ultimately get back at Upolu for betraying her when she had put her trust in them. After winning five consecutive duels on Redemption Island, beating out five fellow castaways in a row, Shields Markoski's winning streak came to an end when she brutally lost the season's sixth duel to returning castaway Ozzy Lusth -- resulting in her permanent ouster from the competition just before the Upolu and Savaii tribes merged during Wednesday night's broadcast of
: South Pacific's eighth episode.
On Thursday, the 39-year-old teacher from Merrick, NY, talked to Reality TV World about her
: South Pacific experience.
Reality TV World: Survivor: South Pacific
More Survivor: South Pacific News
Reality TV World: When Ozzy first arrived at Redemption Island he told you [John Cochran] had been responsible for his vote-off and you immediately said you knew it has been him -- why was that?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Because of what was told to me from [Semhar Tadesse] and [Mark "Papa Bear" Caruso] and [Elyse Umemoto]. They gave me inside information from their tribe, and it just seemed that Cochran would've been the one to try to get out Ozzy. So, I really wasn't too surprised when he told me that.
Reality TV World: You seemed to initially buy Ozzy's story when he first got to Redemption Island, but did that ever change as you talked with him more or maybe even the next day when you guys arrived for the duel and he went into his really bad, over-the-top acting job?
Christine Shields Markoski:
(Laughs) That over-the-top acting job is getting as much press as my socks. It's really funny. I bought it completely. I really did. I had -- why wouldn't I? Everyone else that came through was forthcoming with me and the idea of someone voluntarily getting voted out never entered my mind.
So, of course I believed it, and his over-the-top performance -- I didn't really pay that much attention to because I was just really kind of focused more on the challenge and now what he was saying.
Reality TV World: How long did Ozzy's acting job actually go on for? Was it one of those situations were it actually went on much longer than what was shown but had to be edited down due to time?
Christine Shields Markoski:
No, I think you know -- God, I was so focused on something completely different. It wasn't much longer than what was shown. I don't think it went on too long.
Reality TV World: I was wondering if that was maybe why some of the other castaways seemed to pick up on it so -- because it was [longer and] more obvious than what we saw.
Christine Shields Markoski:
I think he tried to push it too hard, maybe. That's why they were dubious, you know? He kind of pushed it out there and it was like, "Ahh, come on now now," is probably what it was.
Reality TV World: What was your reaction when you realized you'd be going up against Ozzy in the duel? I mean you had obviously been on a roll and won five duels in a row, but none of the people you'd faced off against were anywhere near the physical threat Ozzy was, so had you been confident you could beat him or had you begun to feel that was it for you?
Christine Shields Markoski:
You know, did you ever see
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Reality TV World: A long time ago.
Christine Shields Markoski:
A long time ago. Well, Indiana Jones looked into the crypt and said, "Ahh, snakes, why does this have to be snakes?" That's what I felt like! And Ozzy, why did it have to be Ozzy!?
From watching the show for quite a few years, I knew that he was just an absolute crazy man as far as individual challenges are concerned. So, I think there was part of me that said, "Ahh, crap, might not turn out the way I want it to."
Reality TV World: Maybe that's why you were more focused on the upcoming duel than what Ozzy was saying. (Laughs)
Christine Shields Markoski:
Right, exactly.
Reality TV World: Ozzy and the rest his tribe had become convinced the winner of the next duel would get to return to the game and the tribes would also be merging at that time -- did you also already have that same suspicion or did you only realize it when you got to the duel and saw everyone was there and not just a couple of representatives [from each tribe]?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Well, Tree Mail gave me a clue because all the previous Tree Mails said that the winner of this duel will return to Redemption Island, the loser will go home for good. So, all of those Tree Mails gave me the idea of, "Okay, so whoever wins will come back," but the last Tree Mail -- the one with Ozzy -- didn't have that last piece. It just said, "You will have a duel this morning."
Reality TV World: So it was a clue by omission, right?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Reality TV World: What were you planning to do if you had defeated Ozzy and re-entered the game -- were you planning to follow through with your prior plan to turn against your old [Upolu] tribe, or had you come to have second thoughts about that?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Well, I was really leaning towards sticking to my plan of going with Savaii. I didn't really want to completely close off the option of Upolu, because if they made me an offer I couldn't refuse, well then I would really have to think about it.
Whether I could believe them or not, mmm, that's a different story. So I would have to say that I was really leaning towards just sticking with Savaii and I thought I made that clear, but Ozzy didn't think so.
Reality TV World: Numbers wise, it seemed like because Ozzy had told you Cochran had turned on him, that meant the [Savaii] tribe would only have really had a core four-person alliance of [Keith Tollefson, Jim Rice, Whitney Duncan and Dawn Meehan] and the best you could have done even with Cochran [and yourself] would have been a 6-6 tie [against] your old [Upolu] tribe.
Christine Shields Markoski:
Right, so I mean, that played into my leaving the door open for Upolu, you know? All of those ideas were running through my head. So, I was certainly leaning towards Savaii, but I couldn't make a definitive decision until I got back to the beach.
Reality TV World: So what do you think you would have done if you'd been in Cochran's situation at last night's Tribal Council -- would you have flipped, or stayed loyal and taken your chances at pulling a rock?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Ooh, I think -- I just don't think that whole rock idea I could have handled. So I think I would have flipped because I don't want to get sent home just because I pulled out the wrong rock!
Reality TV World: You don't want to be like [Paschal English] from
: Marquesas
? (Laughs)
Christine Shields Markoski:
I wouldn't have been a happy person. (Laughs) No.
Reality TV World: Last night's episode showed ["Coach"
Benjamin Wade
] insisting that your old tribe is a tight six-person alliance that's not going to break. What do you think about that -- having been part of that tribe when the game started, was it a surprise for you that they could have gotten that unified in the two weeks or so after you left?
Christine Shields Markoski:
No, I think he's pretty on target, saying that they were tight and they were going to stay tight. I saw how they just implicitly followed him with every decision he made with when they should pray, how they should pray, when they should eat, what they should eat.
They implicitly followed him, so I can see how he would be led to believe that he was calling the shots and he knew how tight his alliance was.
Reality TV World: Before your duel with Stacey Powell, you guys told the other tribe that Coach, [Albert Destrade] and [Sophie Clarke] were running things on your tribe, but Coach and Albert were the two main decision-makers. Do you still feel they way now that you've gotten to watch the episodes at home or do you believe differently?
Christine Shields Markoski:
No, I'm still sticking with that. It's maybe not so much Albert, but certainly Benjamin is calling the shots and he still is.
Reality TV World: Has your opinion of "Benjamin" changed at all now that you have gotten to see the episodes at home?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Oh, it has changed for the worst! (Laughs) It has certainly gotten WORSE! I knew he felt he was omnipotent and he felt he was the Dragon Slayer and should be King Farouk. I think that by Upolu following him so closely, that it has just made him even more arrogant.
Reality TV World: Well, he wasn't always the Dragon Slayer, as he told Cochran. (Laughs)
Christine Shields Markoski:
(Laughs) Yeah, he wasn't ALWAYS a dragon slayer. He was just superior in his intellectual abilities. Ew! Vomit.
Reality TV World: What can you tell me about Sophie and Albert? Because the show hasn't showed as much about them as Coach.
Christine Shields Markoski:
I mean, as far as their strategy is concerned, I guess they're doing the right thing with following Benjamin. They're nice people. I don't really have that much to tell.
Reality TV World: Why do you think Coach was able to successfully not only survive in your tribe but somehow emerge as it's leader? When I talked to Stacey a couple weeks ago, she seemed to think they tended to be younger and they just got seduced by all his stories.
Christine Shields Markoski:
Yeah, I think Stacey and I were on the same page as far as that's concerned. I'm not sure if it was the age, because [Rick Nelson] isn't a spring chicken himself. I just think that they're followers and they needed someone to follow, so Coach kind of took that role and ran with it. It was just kind of fortunate that he got on a tribe that had...
Reality TV World: Followers? (Laughs)
Christine Shields Markoski:
Followers, yeah! (Laughs) Exactly.
Reality TV World: What did you think about Brandon Hantz? I know you were only there [five days] with him, but was he really as creepy and awkward as the editing of the season's initial episodes made him seem, and was his relationship with [Mikayla Wingle] as strange as the show made it look?
Christine Shields Markoski:
No, I didn't see all the religious, explosive kind of person that has been portrayed on the TV. I really didn't. I mean, he was quite polite and a hard worker and called me ma'am for Pete's sake! He was really polite.
I saw just a kind of glimpse of it at Tribal Council that night, and that's when a red flag kind of went up. But prior to that, no. He was quite the opposite of what they've portrayed.
Reality TV World: Do you think the fact that you openly called Coach a "temporary player" right when the game began was directly responsible for your vote-off or do you think it was more complicated than that?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Well, my feeling about that is he caught onto that "temporary player" comment because he couldn't tell the cameras that I was calling him out on his laziness, his excessive absences from the beach and his tendency to bark out orders.
You know, I think that's why he wanted me gone, but he couldn't say it outright. He couldn't say, "I want Christine out of here because she's calling me out on every single little thing that I do." So, he went with the "temporary player" and not the "I'm a lazy, arrogant pain in the neck."
Reality TV World: We've seen next to nothing of Rick so far. What can you tell us about him and are you surprised that he hasn't been shown more?
Christine Shields Markoski:
Am I surprised? Maybe not really, because he's a great guy. He's a nice, calm -- he's a decent human being. So, he doesn't create controversy. He doesn't create drama. He doesn't lead that kind of life, so is it made for TV? No. Is it a great way to be in life? Yes, but not for prime time TV.
Reality TV World: How were you cast on
-- how did you end up on the show?
Christine Shields Markoski:
It's pretty funny. I told the casting department that they suck at their job because they cast [NaOnka Mixon] and [Kelly "Purple Kelly" Shinn] and other people that quit, and they didn't cast me and I didn't quit.
So, I told them how horrible they are at their job and if I did their job as poorly as they do their job, I'd be fired. So, I think they should be fired. (Laughs) So, yeah, they said, "Yeah, we want her -- the loud mouth from New York. Yeah, we'll take her."

Not sure if thyis is true, but I heard that Field of Glory might see an ACW version (like their Napoleonics version). An 18th C. version as well.
Anyone else hear about this?
More power to them, I guess. I think the ACW market is well covered, but if they want to make another rules set . . .
Every market is well covered. Gamers love new rules.
A more natural progression would be Lace Wars. But, I suppose FoGN is easy enough to modify.
Something at Corps/Army level using their Cohesion system from FoG(N)could be made to work for both 18th Century and Civil War, with appropriate period tweaks.

Midwest Living Review
At Planters Seed and Spice Company, experience modern-day shopping while enjoying a glimpse in the past. The 80-year-old emporium once catered to farmers. Today, the vast space features a variety of coffees and teas, pickling and other bulk spices, garden seeds, birdbaths and holiday dcor. Those with a green thumb will want to check out endless rows of seed selections along with plastic and ceramic pottery for container plants. You'll see an entire room dedicated to seed spreaders, Fertilome, Cocomoss, lawn food, hoses, hose-repair kits, sprinklers, sprayers and other garden helpers. Kids and the young at heart will love the penny candy. For a real eye-opener, try the "professional flavors" that are three to four times stronger than extract and include horehound, licorice and Washington Cherry. Floor surfaces vary from room to room, so watch your step while admiring merchandise shelved right up to the ceilings, including some with the original painted tin. You could spend a couple of hours taking in all this store has to offer.

Cut-off time1 | 4:00 P.M. |
International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund's investments in emerging markets could lead to more volatility in the value of the Fund's shares. As mentioned above, the normal risks of investing in foreign countries are heightened when investing in emerging markets. In addition, the small size of securities markets and the low trading volume may lead to a lack of liquidity, which leads to increased volatility. Also, emerging markets may not provide adequate legal protection for private or foreign investment or private property.
1Please refer to the prospectus for additional information about cut-off times. The quoted performance of the Fund includes performance of a predecessor fund/share class prior to the Fund's commencement of operations. Please refer to the current prospectus for further information. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets. The performance of the index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a fund, such as investment management fees. By contrast, the performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of the fund expenses, including sales charges if applicable. Total return figures assume the reinvestment of dividends. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. An individual cannot invest directly in an index. The performance of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses charged by the Fund. An individual cannot invest directly in an index. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions and reflects the deduction of any sales charges, where applicable. Performance may reflect the waiver of a portion of the Fund's advisory or administrative fees for certain periods since the inception date. If fees had not been waived, performance would have been less favorable. ©2015, American Bankers Association, CUSIP Database provided by the Standard & Poor's CUSIP Service Bureau, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

I am using nginx along with php-fpm to server a busy mysql-based site.
Currently I am using keepalive_timeout = 5
, however I have no clear idea about how to optimally adjust it. So appreciate your hints.
Take the 2-minute tour
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
What do you need to adjust it to do, or rather: are you seeing any problems with having it set how you do? There isn't a good one-size-fits-all answer; if most client browsers are able to load all the resources on a page in 5 seconds then 5 seconds is just fine, but it completely depends on your application's needs - if your nginx server were serving as a reverse proxy for Exchange ActiveSync, for instance, you'd want it cranked all the way up to half an hour. |

About Hallelujah
Yang Deok-Keon, a swindler, finds an interesting letter in the purse of a reverend, a victim of traffic accident. The letter says if one comes with this letter, he or she can receives 100 million won as settling fund of newly founded church. Deok-Keon assumes the air of the clergymen to go to the church instead of the real clergyman who is still unconscious in hospital. However 100 million won of easy money can't come to him with ease. The church authority demands him to help for 2 weeks on behalf of the church's clergyman who is in America on business. Thus Deok-Keon shows real face of the fake clergyman to get the money dashing this side and rushing that

What is the difference between the UEFI BIOS vs the legacy BIOS? Is there a difference in system performance using the UEFI BIOS?
So true. In fact I was just about to make a thread on the subject. I am beginning to believe that, as far as straightforward help is concerned, help forums have become redundant. It is easier, for a variety of suggestions, to google. Most questions relating to OSs are now repetitive, as are the answers.
You guys are correct with doing a google search, which I should've probably done. I should have stated in my post, that I've seen post, after post, in this forum and many others that users with UEFI BIOS are having problems of one kind or another. So I was really wondering if the benefit of having a mobo with EUFI was really worth getting and using.
I don't believe the impression that some folks are having problems with it is really important. Folks in the Windows 7 forum have problems with Legacy installs... But I feel the largest problem folks may have is they do not know they have UEFI, and/or do not know what it is. Since the new computers seem to be shipping with UEFI installs, and Windows 8 secure boot, using some devices, such as video cards, or dual boots are going to cause problems. I don't think there are any performance issues that might cause you to need a UEFI bios, but they are claimed to be more secure. If you wanted to run a larger Hard Drive as your boot device or wanted the Windows 8 security, it would be needed.
I think Clark, sorry Saltgrass, has hit on the defining issue about users not fully aware of what they are buying. Many, many issues can simply be avoided if a little research is undertaken first before either purchase is made or the machine arrives. I build my own machines anyway so reading up on the spec, tech and reviews are vital if I want my machine to run as it should... Then again the more people did this the less we would be needed..
Generally, the only people we see here are those more intrepid individuals that take on the added chores of setting their PCs up differently than the manufacturers (both OEMs and MS) wish they would. Those people who wish to try new things or set up dual boots, or "play" with new OSs, etc. These are the people who frequent these forums. The "average Joe" most likely does not come here, and most probably does not know we exist. Those individuals who do come here start as raw beginners in this exciting new endeavor, customizing their PCs and trying new things. I believe that slowly these individuals see how we give advice, and in many cases how we get the information we give and learn from that so that the next time they may spend more time investigating before posting. Unfortunately every couple of months we see a new group of individuals that are starting as those raw beginners and so we go through the same process again. In my case I am just beginning to learn about UEFI and GPT because I do not have one of these new PCs. As is the case with this question, I do not have the answer at the tip of my tongue, but as I learn more about UEFI I will be better able to answer questions without referring to a web site. In this case however, many of the sites we refer to explain things far better than a short post in a thread, hence the referral to a separate web site. No one coming here for advice should take offense to this as it is a process we all go through as much as the posters.
The website generates stats that show users come to forums for many different reasons. Some have issues, some want advice and some just come for a look see. We can determine this though the statistics that the site generates over a period of time, it's actually quite amazing some of the details that get revealed and I think I'm right in saying that the only country we've yet to have a visitor from is North Korea but Mike will know more about this.
Yes. It is fascinating looking through the stats and the forum map. I am a little surprised with the map, though. Where do the actual map placements come form? I can see that, for example, where I live, (Scandinavia - Denmark) we are very thin on the ground, yet I have many Computer "nerd" acquaintances here, several of which are on the forum.
Hmm... I'm not too sure Dave. According to the map I live near Brighton.. I'll check with Mike on how the data is collected.
I don't think it is something to fuss over, as it is an extra. I was just curious. There is one registered user shown in Denmark, where I live, there seems to be only one - it isn't me, although the map says so. I live about 100kms from the flag. But I guess it is country specific, rather than actual abode specific. Without that detailed information, I doubt the exact location would, in any case, be available.
The main reason UEFI was created was because of the limited amount of allocation space in the legacy BIOS and the limitations that this implementation posed. With UEFI BIOS, you can download firmware updates directly from what would traditionally be the "BIOS" screen. You can boot from disks over 2TB, the design is modular, and its CPU independent. Whereas, the traditional legacy BIOS is very much dependent on the architecture of the CPU and its related chipset. UEFI/EFI is more of a modular system being developed for all types of systems, irregardless of the architecture. I think the big thing is network support, as this alleviates a lot of problems with hardware firmware in the future.

What an event! Wheel to wheel with 78 cars on a 1-mile road course -nuts! Not as bad as the tiny bullring events like Altamont - the organizers seem to be making a major effort to stomp out any demo-derby aspect of the event. CMP West was just about perfect - some real roadrace turns with some real overtaking possibilities. I'm *still* burnt out - I'll try to post a real report later - here's some local NC and SC press we got, and some pictures: We made the front page of the Raleigh News & Observer! http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/1154759.html http://videos.newsobserver.com/index...yer&id=2021278 Local SC station coverage: http://www.wistv.com/global/video/fl...o&rnd=81316018 Getting ready to start the race: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...8/100_3866.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...8/100_3870.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...8/100_3873.jpg On-track: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...8/100_3931.jpg |

On November 29, 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a new draft guidance regarding its Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) policy for National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). As CMS has increasingly used CED in recent years to provide, and often limit, Medicare coverage for promising new medical treatments, revisions to this policy will be of particular interest to those manufacturing or otherwise developing new and innovative technologies for which they seek Medicare coverage. Comments on the draft guidance may be submitted to CMS until January 28, 2013.
Background on CED -
CED is an evidence-based coverage paradigm that permits CMS to develop coverage policies for certain items and services that are likely to show health benefits to Medicare beneficiaries but for which the available evidence base is not yet sufficiently developed...

ARU 570 DISCOVER! ART AND SCIENCE INTEGRATION FOR THE K-12 EDUCATOR July 20 – 25, 2014
This one-week hands-on-workshop explores the curricular interaction between Earth Science Topics and Big Ideas presented through a combination of science laboratory and field experiments with art/artists/studio practice. Content in geology and astronomy delivered through short lectures and hands-on labs will be combined with art studio practice to examine the process of 'discovery' in both disciplines. On going dialog will support critical thinking of cross discipline possibilities. Field trips to the Trexler Area Nature Preserve, and Museums in New York City, provide examples of integration across the disciplines. Participants will develop a portfolio of art/science works that will be the catalyst for designing discipline and grade appropriate curriculum. K-12 educators and teams of educators of all disciplines are strongly encouraged to attend.
STUDY INSTITUTE PROGRAM: The Institute will meet on Sunday, July 20th from 4:00 to 7:00 (dinner will be provided), daily sessions begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4:00 p.m. with the exception of trip into NYC when we will leave at 7:30 and return around 10 p.m. The institute will meet in Sharadin Arts Building room 114 and the Boehm Science Center.
