Reviews: Mise-en-Scene by Ruffian, Revere Blouse, Full Twist Tee & Slant-Striped Sweater
Ruffian's Anthropologie line Mise-en-Scene wasn't due to arrive in store until November. (Read about the line in this post.) Lo and behold though I saw a few pieces last week. And I got excited! I am a big fan of Ruffian's clothing; I own a dress by them that I love love love. I chose the dotted grey blouse you see above to try on. This is the Flocked Chiffon Blouse ($148) that was in the September catalog.
I really like this blouse but I feel like it was made for someone with a smaller bust. I had to size up two sizes to a 10 to even get the blouse on. Does wonders for the ego, let me tell you! This top is quite short. Even those with a smaller bust will find it hitting at high hip due to the elasticized waist. It's a sheer blouse once again yet I wouldn't want to wear a cami underneath it. This is getting into silk chemise slip territory. I'm quite sick of ruffles yet I adore them on this top...the way they cascade and tumble softly is romantic and feminine.
In spite of the caveats I plan on purchasing this blouse. I'm probably going to size up even further to see if it helps the length any more. Rather than pairing it with jeans I'll wear it with a high-waisted pencil skirt or wide leg slacks. It makes me very excited to see what else the line brings.
I can always rely on Odille to make beautiful things and the Revere Blouse ($68) is no exception. The two ruffles by the collar weren't steamed to life in the shots above so they're laying a bit flat. But otherwise this blouse is everything I expected. With a few of the top buttons left undone the lace placket takes on a romantic vaguely revolutionary era feel while buttoned up it looks like something the lead singer of a band might wear ironically. Menswear as women's wear done right. And slightly sheer for some reason. My true size 6 fit comfortably.
I grabbed one.september's Full Twist Tee ($68) for laughs only, fully expecting that it would look like hell on me. Joke's on me because I really liked it! The front twist is nothing less than crazy but I can stick my phone, keys and small wallet in there and not worry about a purse. This top comes in two colors: a grey that looks like blue and a deeper, dark sapphire blue. I tried on the grey in size medium. It's form fitting but not tight so this is the size I'd stick to. I decided this top would be best as a layer...
...so I grabbed the Slant-Striped Sweater ($128) by Moth to try on over it. This sweater is so warm and I just want to bundle myself up in it everyday at my freezing cold office. I did not find this sweater to be itchy. It's a wool mix. I sized up to a large because it just seemed like the right thing to do to swaddle myself. The sweater also has a slight flair at the hips which thank goodness because if there's one thing I need to accentuate on myself it's mah hips. Snarkiness aside I like this sweater. A lot.

I like Revere Blouse on you.
Did I hear that Anthro is bringing freeshipping + gift wrapping, in November, just in time for Christmas?! Yay, if it's true. My online shopping spree ended when the Free Ship promo ended earlier this month. :( So I am so looking forward to it to be back, if that's true. - September 28, 2009 at 3:32 PM

That would be great! They did that last year, I believe the promotion started in early November and ended mid-to-late December. They should just start now, and then never end it. *fingers crossed*

Important Global Message
The Miami-Dade County Portal will be undergoing maintenance starting at 11 p.m. Saturday, May 3 and for all of Sunday, May 4. Intermittent outages may be experienced. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you for your patience as we improve our online services.
The deferred compensation plan documents have been amended to allow loans for all purposes as of March 1, 2009. There are no restrictions on the use of the loan. The maximum loan amount is the lesser of 50% of the deferred compensation account balance or $50,000. The loan interest cannot be deducted on federal income tax returns.
The maximum loan amount applies to both deferred compensation plans offered by the County. The maximum loan amount is a combined limit for both plans offered. Therefore, if an employee participates in both ICMA-RC and NRS, the combined maximum loan they could receive is the lesser of 50% of the account balances or $50,000.
Disadvantages of Obtaining a Loan
The amount of interest a participant pays on a loan may be less than the money would have earned had it been invested during the time it takes to repay the loan. Employees may be inclined to stop or decrease contributions to their account as they try to pay off the loan. Loan repayments are with post-tax dollars. If the participant does not repay the loan, when due, the outstanding balance becomes taxable income. Money intended for retirement is reduced.
Back to TopObtain a Loan
NRS- The employee must contact the plan administrator at 877-677-3678 to request a loan package and answer a few questions to be screened for eligibility. The employee completes the loan application and returns it to the plan administrator.
ICMA-RC- The employee may request the loan package via telephone at 800-669-7400 or may complete the request via their website.
It takes two to three business days to process the loan request. The employee should receive payment within a week thereafter. Only one loan is allowed per calendar year. Employees will be allowed to have only one loan outstanding at a time.
Back to TopInterest Rate
The interest rate for ICMA-RC, is based on the prime rate + 0.5%. The interest rate, for NRS, is prime + 1%.
ICMA-RC and NRS will be performing all administrative functions related to the establishment and repayment of loans. Loans must be repaid from the participant's bank account via ACH. Repaying the loan through payroll deductions is not an option.
No, there is no early payoff penalty. If an employee terminates employment with an outstanding loan, the employee may continue to repay the loan via ACH.
For more information, ICMA-RC participants must contact ICMA-RC at 800-669-7400. NRS participants must contact NRS at 877-677-3678.

Large, prestigious and rather grand - you wouldn't expect anything less from Birmingham's university. Established in 1900, it was the first "redbrick" university to receive its royal charter. Striking examples of Victorian architecture remain on the large, leafy campus in Edgbaston, which also comes equipped with all mod cons: bars, cafes, shops, a hair salon, a concert hall, banks, an art gallery, a medical practice, a nursery - even its own train station (only one stop to the city centre). It also has one of the largest student unions in the country, as well as excellent employment figures.
Birmingham is an internationally respected, research-led university. The most recent measure of UK research (RAE 2008) confirmed the excellent quality of the university's research, which leads the world in music, primary care, cancer studies, psychology, and sports and exercise studies.
Sport takes centre stage at Birmingham – not only on the playing fields but as a key part of its academic portfolio. It is one of the UK's leading sporting universities, regularly finishing in the top three of the British Universities and Colleges Sport league. The Jamaican track and field team for the 2012 London Olympics trained at the university's facilities.
£9,000 for full-time undergraduates in 2014-15.
For details of the bursaries on offer visit www.birmingham.ac.uk/undergraduate/fees/funding
Guaranteed for first-years if certain conditions are met. Approximate rents are from £77 for a standard single, rising to £125 for an en suite room.
There is a student facilities building at the medical school and a well- equipped learning centre. As a result of £700m of investments, students have access to a state-of-the-art music building with 450-seat auditorium for music, opera, drama; enhanced learning facilities across campus; improved library and IT services; and high-quality academic student support. The university has also runs an employability initiative, which includes internships and mentoring by some of the university's most successful alumni.
Good for rail, road and air.

Comments about Lucky Duck Duck Magnet, Drake:
The supports for the wings broke while trying to set up. Thought that it was just a bad decoy. Returned it and got a new one and it did it again. You're better off buying wind socks or just regular full bodied decoys

As organisers face the test of plunging temperatures, the focus switches to a 'spring offensive' with new targets.
Anyone who has walked through Zuccotti Park in recent days will have been left in little doubt about the intention of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters to push on through the winter. Huge military-style canvas tents designed to withstand plunging temperatures have sprung up among dozens of smaller two and three-person pods. One, marked with a red cross, offers flu shots, while another offers a safe space for women.
But as the diehards in New York and other encampments across the U.S. prepare to dig in, organisers are facing up to a big challenge: what next? In a tacit admission that the protests will be difficult to sustain over the winter, organisers are now focusing their efforts on planning a "spring offensive" with fresh targets, they revealed to us in a series of interviews this week.
Online tools will be crucial
Details will be unveiled later this month, according to the activists, who say they will spend the winter consolidating their position, broadening their support base and refining communication between Occupy groups nationwide, using online tools being developed by their IT team.
Keeping the protests alive all through the cold months is becoming a challenge for a movement flushed with the dramatic success of its first eight weeks.
Adbusters, the Canadian activist group that helped spark the movement, is even considering calling on occupiers to declare "victory" for phase one and go home for the winter — clear recognition that numbers are likely to dwindle.
In its first few weeks, the grassroots protest spread from New York to hundreds of towns and cities globally. It altered political discourse, forced debate away from the deficit towards inequality and, via a series of high—profile actions, marches and — most dramatically — clashes with police, shot up the news agenda worldwide.
Public interest waning?
But now there are signs that public interest is tailing off, with resources such as Factiva and Google Trends appearing to show a drop in searches for "Occupy Wall Street" over recent weeks. Media coverage, too, is dwindling.
At Zuccotti Park, activists acknowledge that there has been a lull. But they say that, as a measure of the movement's success, it is irrelevant.
Activist Justin Wedes said: "If the mainstream media has shifted their focus off Occupy Wall Street it doesn't mean we are not growing as a movement. We are growing every day and new occupations are cropping up." As we moved from the east side of the encampment to the west, Wedes greeted fellow activists, exchanging high fives with some and patting others on the shoulder. He said: "We never intended to rely on the mainstream media to put out our message. In two months we have established hundreds of media centres, 24/7 live streaming, and traditional print media in the form of Occupy Wall Street Journal. People are becoming citizen journalists. In the reporting of the movement, we are making the mainstream media irrelevant right now." He said that they now planned to communicate better internally and that, inside a nearby media tent, people were working on online tools to facilitate general assemblies between Occupy encampments in separate locations.
Activists in the leaderless movement readily admit that ensuring consensus has its challenges. But they are adamant that the fledgling movement is sustainable.
"The tactic of physical occupation worked very well at the beginning," said another activist, Jonathan Smucker. "It was a powerful symbol of defiance against some of the most powerful people in the world who are widely recognised as being culpable for the economic situation we are in. As a way of achieving a goal or being in a better position to achieve a goal, it has been enormously successful. Overnight and for the last month, we have changed the narrative around the economy and society.
"But we risk being defined by that one tactic as opposed to the values that are resonating with people. It's not an easy thing to navigate. We can't keep replicating the same tactic and expect the same level of success. The challenge is, what do you do? How do you find another way to strike that chord with more people?" Smucker believes that the shift in debate is a backdrop which enables political change.
He cites the example of Ohio, where this week a Republican-backed law curbing collective bargaining rights was voted out by a margin of almost two to one after a union campaign. "I think something does happen when you have a national shift. The Tea Party changed the backdrop of all sorts of fights in the past two years. We have to take the long view." Smucker is confident that an idea will emerge that will provide the momentum for the next step. "We have more than 50 working groups. Somewhere, one of those conversations will have a great idea and we will forward it and it will be the next thing that will give momentum." Kalle Lasn, the editor-in-chief of Adbusters, said it was considering declaring victory in an attempt to regain the initiative after a series of negative headlines about the encampment, and then regrouping in the spring. "We are talking about it with all our people," said Lasn. "The other side is owning the narrative right now. People are talking about drugs and criminals at OWS.
"Why not, as a grand gesture, declare victory? I love the idea that some diehards will dig in through the snow. This is what happens in movements and revolutions, they have this crazy wild state at the beginning where nobody knows what is going on." Even among those sympathetic to the Occupy movement, there is some scepticism as to whether it is sustainable in its current form.
Chris Howell, a professor of politics at Oberlin College in Ohio, said the movement had been successful in shifting political discourse from the budget deficit to inequalities of power and wealth. But he said that to move beyond that it needed to institutionalise itself.
"There is a strong anarchist — in the best sense of the word — emphasis on radical democracy in the movement and that makes it hard to create an organisation," he said. "To create a party platform, to create leaders, all these things are required to put down roots." OWS activists disagree. A leaderless, non-hierarchical movement has got them this far and they plan to continue in the same vein.
At Wall Street
At 60 Wall Street, in an atrium at the foot of a 55-floor skyscraper that serves as the American HQ of Deutsche Bank, where activists and organisers from the Occupy Wall Street working groups have taken to holding their meetings, the direct action group were deep in discussion.
One activist, Michael Premo, 29, said the movement needed to reach out to more divergent groups. He compared the movement to the civil rights movement. "That was everything from electoral reform to complete separatism.
"You had WEB Du Bois advocating integration and Booker T Washington arguing for separatism," Premo said. "Du Bois and Washington were civil rights leaders on opposite sides of the black civil rights movement." He said the winter would be a reflective time "to dream" and then the movement would launch its "spring offensive." It would include civil disobedience, he said, adding: "The only way we will get the level of media interest we have had is through civil disobedience."
While Democratic politicians have responded favourably to the movement, with Barack Obama saying it reflects the frustration that many struggling Americans are feeling, OWS protesters remain unwilling to align themselves with any political party.
But, as with any movement, there is a spectrum of political hues and there has emerged at least one group keen to take a more active role in the forthcoming elections. This week, a spokesperson for Occupy Cincinnati told Associated Press it was vetting six potential candidates for local office from Ohio, New York and Kentucky.
Wedes stressed that it had not been endorsed by the general assembly — at least not yet. "That's not a consensus decision," said Wedes. "There's no plan for an independent or third party OWS at this point." But first there is the winter to get through. "We've captured the imagination of the world," said Lasn, of Adbusters. "Now we need to have a winter brainstorming and we'll come up with a myriad projects." — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2011

Macworld 2014 First Look: Petcube, Motion Control Ring, Lumo Lift, and More
The annual Macworld conference, which will see hundreds of companies showing off Apple-related apps and products, officially kicked off today with the innovation showcase for media and workshop attendees. While Apple stopped attending Macworld in 2009, causing the conference to shrink considerably, there are still a number of innovative products being demoed at the show, including the Petcube, the motion-controlled Ring, unique wearables from Lumo, and more. Many of the products at Macworld originated on crowd-funding sites like Kickstarter, including the Petcube, which reached full funding back in November of 2013. The Petcube is a small iPhone-connected cube equipped with a camera, motion detection, and a laser toy, allowing users to keep an eye on and play with their pets while they're away from home. The first Petcube devices will launch in May of 2014, but the company is debuting its Petcube app [Direct Link] at Macworld, which is a sort of social network for pets at the current time. App functionality will be expanded in the future, first allowing users to interact with Petcubes placed in shelters and then letting them interface with their own cubes after the product ships. Petcubes can be preordered for $199. The Ring, another product being demoed at Macworld, also made its debut on Kickstarter. While wearing the somewhat bulky Ring on an index finger, users can make small gestures to interface via Bluetooth with an iPhone or iPad app, completing tasks like spelling out letters, opening apps like the camera, or making mobile payments. In a demonstration, the Ring's creators used it to write letters that were then transmitted to an iPad app and also demonstrated it opening the camera app. The current functionality of the Ring seems to be a bit limited, but the creators are planning to release an SDK for developers to incorporate its technology into their own apps. The Ring is expected to ship in July of 2014 and can still be preordered via Kickstarter for $185. Lumo is showing off its new Lumo Lift product, which is a small wearable device that is designed to track daily activity and improve posture as well. It comes in an array of colors and designs and can measure steps and calories burned like many other fitness devices. Lumo Lift is unique in its ability to keep an eye on posture, letting users know with a slight vibration when they slouch too often. The Lumo Lift can be preordered for $79 and will ship in the Summer of 2014. There are also several other products available that have been demoed at conferences like CES, including the Flir One thermal camera and the Livescribe 3 Smartpen that transfers traditional writing to iOS devices. A slew of up and coming apps are also available today, including video/photo hybrid Flashback and CrazyTalk, an app for Mac and iOS that takes photos and transforms them into interactive 2D animations. Macworld will continue through March 29, with the Expo Hall opening tomorrow morning. Article Link: Macworld 2014 First Look: Petcube, Motion Control Ring, Lumo Lift, and More |

As much as I hate to say it, this conference is no longer important. Everything that is presented here is based on current products, that HOPEFULLY scale well to new ones. Add in the fact that Apple is no longer officially present, and it just doesn't feel relevant.

Cool so the limited time my cat would spend in the single room the cube was located in I'll maybe be able to catch her and play with her for the first 5 minutes until she gets bored of the $200 paper weight.
Much better device to trick robbers into thinking you have a laser sight trained on them.

Randy also poured some sweat and tears into his career, learning to play guitar at 10 years old, performing in his first show at 17 and playing his way through college. Randy was also an award-winning high school quarterback and a college soccer player blessed with the gravelly voice that led to his self-titled debut being named Album of the Year by some media outlets. Now Randy Montana tickets are highly sought after by fans seeking to get a glimpse of this star while he's still fresh at Randy Montana tour dates.

Holiday parties call for punch so I'm reposting the post and recipe from my friend Crashy and her Scamper Juice (pictured above with citrus ice ring, photo by donna). But there are all kinds of fun punches out there. Here are a few links with other ideas.

I get sent a lot of cookbooks throughout the year, some from publishers looking for blurbs, others just wanting me to know a book has been published. Recently I reviewed some select books out this season for the Wall Street Journal (it will be online for everyone here after a couple weeks). One of those books, which I highly recommend for baking, is Dorie Greenspan's Baking Chez Moi. But it is not featured above because I am giving it to someone who can actually bake. What is the story about the five books above? As I said, I get a lot of books throughout the year, more than I actually have room for in the downstairs of our house. Cookbook space is now severely rationed. After much difficult thought, the above books are the ones I didn't Read On »

Suggestions for my next boat
I sold my C&C34 last year and have now begun my search for a new boat. I have read this forum often and thought it would be useful to get suggestions for boats for other sailors as I am finding the task of narrowing down a list to search for and look at daunting. Here are my thoughts on a new boat.
I sail on Long Island Sound off a mooring. I overnight at the mooring often (my second house on the water), sail alone most of the time, with my wife some of the time and periodically taking groups of students and friends out. We have not cruised at all up until now but my wife and I plan overnight or weekend trips in the future with kids now out of the house. So not more than two on the boat, and no long cruising trips planned. The boat must be set up to be easily handled by one person. I have been a singlehanded/doublehanded dinghy racer all my life, so am a good sailor, but have only the last 6 years of keelboat experience on the C&C. I expect decent to excellent performance from a boat and fun. I have been looking in the 27-34' range, as I found the size and weight of things on the 34 to be challenging sometimes, but have not determined a perfect size. I did not have a spinnaker setup on the C&C so while not a requirement, I would enjoy one on the new boat (asymetrical/furling?) to add another dimension of fun if it could be handled by one person. I raced the C&C periodically solo or shorthanded and would race the new boat in club events periodically but definitely solo or shorthanded.
Other issues:
1. The deep keel of the C&C (6') was sometimes limiting on LIS. It would be nice to have shoal draft, lifting or keel/centerboard on the new one.
2. The C&C was a very tender boat. It was a handful when the wind piped up, which it often does in my area. I would like a boat I can be confident taking out myself in any conditions.
3. I am 6'3' tall, so decent headroom and berth length is a plus.
4. I doubt I could talk my wife into a new boat, but the budget is not fixed yet. The most boat for the money that accomplishes as much as possible is the compromise. We looked at the J95 at Newport this fall, and I have to say that it was about as perfect a boat in terms of the list above as I have seen, but the price was much higher than I am considering at this point (probably 200k by the time it is outfitted well). I guess that does not does not take resale value into the equation, but I don't know how to figure that. Obviously, if you pay more up front but can recoup most of that at sale, then it is better than paying less and getting less back, but with a newer boat, and the volatile market, I don't know to what extent that works in your favor.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome!! Thanks!

I thought of using MSMQ here. System A will send a message to a Queue. Another process listening for messages on this queue will process the message by reading the information from database and send to System B.
I want to know, is it a good idea to use MSMQ here or write my own simple queuing mechanism by polling the database regularly.
Since near real-time transfer and guarantee is required I thought its a good idea to use MSMQ. Are there any other better solutions available?

A sensitive, sophisticated work of literary manga.
As shown in the first two volumes of this acclaimed series, Shuichi and his friend Yoshino have a secret: Shuichi is a boy who wants to be a girl, and Yoshino is a girl who wants to be a boy.
But one day, abruptly, their secret is exposed, and the two find themselves the target of sixth-grade cruelty. Their friendship is strained, as Yoshino makes a half-hearted effort at being a "normal girl"... and their mentor, Yuki, reveals the harder reality of being transgendered. Meanwhile, Shuichi's sister, Maho, realizes her dream of becoming a model, and drags Shuichi along for the ride. Shuichi meets another boy who wants to be a girl, and finds himself on an arranged date with a boy who doesn't know that the girl he has a crush on was born a boy.
After an unhurried, almost leisurely buildup that gave us an opportunity to get to know and understand our protagonists, artist Shimura picks up the pace in this latest volume, with tears and laughs aplenty. A sophisticated work translated with rare sophistication by veteran translator and comics scholar Matt Thorn.

The Treaty of Tordesillas
Just months after Christopher Columbus returned to Europe from his maiden voyage to the New World, the Spanish-born Pope Alexander VI gave Spain a head-start in the quest for domination over newly discovered regions of the world.
The Pope decreed that all lands discovered west of a meridian 100 leagues (one league is 3 miles or 4.8 km) west of the Cape Verde Islands should belong to Spain while new lands discovered east of that line would belong to Portugal. This papal bull also specified that all lands already under the control of a "Christian prince" would remain under that same control.
This limiting line made Portugal angry. King John II (the nephew of Prince Henry the Navigator) negotiated with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to move the line to the west. King John's rationale to Ferdinand and Isabella was that the Pope's line extends all around the globe, thus limiting Spanish influence in Asia.
On June 7, 1494 Spain and Portugal met at Tordesillas, Spain and signed a treaty moved the line 270 leagues west, to 370 leagues west of Cape Verde. This new line (located at approximately 46° 37') gave Portugal more claim to South America yet also provided Portugal with automatic control over most of the Indian Ocean.
While it would be several hundred years before the line of the Treaty of Tordesillas could be accurately determined (due to problems determining longitude), Portugal and Spain kept to their sides of the line quite well. Portugal ended up colonizing places like Brazil in South America and India and Macau in Asia. Brazil's Portuguese-speaking population is a result of the Treaty of Tordesillas.
Portugal and Spain ignored an order from the Pope in enacting their treaty but all was reconciled when Pope Julius II agreed to the change in 1506.

Euro sign in front of the European Central Bank Building, Frankfurt, Germany.
"Don't Waste Draghi"
Op-Ed, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School
November 20, 2012
Author: Pierpaolo Barbieri, Former Ernest May Fellow in History and Policy, International Security Program, 20112013
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
A Spanish-language version of the op-ed appeared in El Pais on November 18, 2012 and can be accessed here: http://elpais.com/elpais/2012/11/09/opinion/1352486211_663914.html
This translation was provided by the author.
A year ago, these pages were filled with predictions of Euro-pocalypsebrought about by a combination of Greek profligacy, German apathy, and Silvio Berlusconi. The end was not nigh. Today Greece has a coalition government committed to reform, Germany cleared all hurdles for a permanent Eurozone rescue mechanism (ESM), and Berlusconi gave way to Mario Monti.
Pessimists now argue that the current stability will be short-lived because it relies too heavily on European Central Bank support. They predict the ECB will lose credibility when an electorate chooses a government that jettisons reform while still demanding central bank support.
Can Europe deal with what could be deemed "Silvio return risk"? It canbut only if Germany does not delay on banking union and Spanish PM Rajoy matches Monti's courage in the face of temporary unpopularity.
In making the case for "Outright Monetary Transactions" on Thursday, President Draghi made it clear that the ECB does not aim to fund governments, but to address evidently broken transmission mechanisms. Countries like Spain's are currently doomed if they do rescue banks and implement structural reform and doomed if they don't. In contrast to Sweden's adjustment in the 1990s, it is Sisyphean to reform in a low-growth global environment while investors tighten credit. OMT offers respite. The fact that there was only one vote against it at the September Governing Councilthat of Bundesbank president Jens Weidmannmeans that at least one German supports this argument, not to mention other hawks.
Impressing the irreversibility of the euro upon markets will require a new conditionality program for Spain and possibly Italy, but it will not wholly remove them from capital marketsan important legal difference.
Behind these announcements lay a grand bargain. Through two years of crisis, European political leaders had made a habit of doing too little, too late. But the June 28 Summit was fundamentally different. The effective quid pro quo for further ECB support was clear progress toward a banking union and German acquiescence to an eventual federalization of bank recapitalization funds.
Alas, the risks are now more political than economic. Last week, a German-Dutch-Finnish finance minister declaration put into question the fast-track toward common bank supervision and the federalization of so-called "legacy assets," the elephant in the room for Spain. Now that a summer rally has cooled off urgency, it is useful to recant how perilously close to the brink Europe came earlier this year.
In early May, inconclusive Greek elections led to a worrying acceleration of deposit withdrawals from undercapitalized Hellenic banks. Anxiety spread to Spain, where the nationalization of Bankia had been hurriedly announced. Iberian TV showed a worried depositor berating a government minister. Soon blogs were claiming that ATMs in Barcelona were empty. Within 24 hours, fears of a bank run had spread to Italy and Portugal.
This panic made painfully clear that the uneven funding and regulatory playing field for European banks are EMU's Achilles heel. German banks certainly enjoy the inflow of safety-seeking assets, but a cross-border bank run would eventually engulf them, too. Back in 1931, the Credistanstalt crisis spread overnight from Austria to the rest of Europe. That banking crisis also swept the monetary orthodoxy of the time, forcing Britain off the gold standard.
Europe still does not have the tools to deal with this risk: OMT can reduce spreads, but it cannot prevent Spaniards from switching from "Spanish" to "German" euros.
That is why delays on common bank supervisionthe first step toward banking union, to be followed by resolution and deposit insurance schemesare unacceptable. There will be fraught debates over the cajas and Landesbanken, not to mention inevitable British objections. But impetus from Germany is the only way to eliminate the risk of a sudden systemic failure.
Europe's twin threat is populism. True, electorates have defied predictions by voting for pro-European parties in Greece and the Netherlands. Yet we can expect to hear more from True Finns, Syriza, the Front National, and the Northern League, to name but a few of the parties who trade on popular dissatisfaction with the inevitable pain of reform. Crucial elections in Italy are just over half a year away; jockeying for position has already begun.
Draghi's OMT gives the populists' opponents a new weapon: support while structural reform takes hold. As he implied on Thursday, purchases are rewards for the countries implementing good reforms. Conversely, the ECB can stop OMT if it judges national policies to be "deserving" of punitive rates. Draghi should not hesitate to use this power to preserve credibility: while monetary policy operates within democracy, it is not itself be democratic.
It is ultimately up to political leaders to use the breathing room furnished by OMT to make the case for fixing Europe's intergenerational imbalances. Entrenched interests and over-expanded welfare that create unsustainable burdens for future generations may be temporarily democratic because those affected are not old enough to vote. They are also inherently unfair as well as economically deleterious in a Continent with dubious demographic trends. If preserving integration entails healthcare co-pays for wealthy Spaniards and less protection for anachronistic Italian unions, so be it.
What Edmund Burke called the "contract between generations" needs repairing across the developed world. So European politicians must make the case for reform more forcefully. Monti's boldness in the face of declining poll numbers earlier this year was exemplary, and it has paid off both financially and politically.
In this context, Spanish PM Rajoy should worry less about losing impending Galician and Basque elections and more about how to use a troika program to implement structural reform without alienating his electorate. Why not accept the opposition's constructive offer to cooperate and avoid delays in requesting help?
The pro-European Portuguese and Greek governments, meanwhile, deserve support. Should they fall and give way to populists, Europe as a whole will suffer. Unlocking unused EU structural funds can readily offer better growth prospects. Why delay?
After September 2013, Germany will be in a better position to lead toward what follows from banking union: fiscal and political union. A third Merkel term, potentially in a grand coalition with Peer Steinbrück's Social Democrats, can make fiscal union happen not as a permanent transfer union but as a globally-competitive federation. But make no mistake: banking union cannot wait that long. Nor can reform.
Europe is not yet saved: core countries must not give into politically expedient delays and peripheral governments must better sell reform. Otherwise the OMT will be squanderedand the pessimists may yet be proven right.

Tottenham Dismisses Manager Harry Redknapp After Wednesday Meeting
Premier League Tottenham Manager Harry Redknapp "has been dismissed" after Chair Daniel Levy "refused to grant him the contract and assurance that he wanted," according to David Hytner of the London GUARDIAN. The manager was "forced to confront his exit strategy and has reached a settlement" on the final 12 months of his deal. The decision was made after lawyers from both sides met Wednesday night to discuss the remaining year of Redknapp's contract, worth £3M ($4.7M) (GUARDIAN, 6/13). THE HUFFINGTON POST reported that Levy "summoned" Redknapp for Wednesday talks "over what was believed to be Redknapp's compensation package" (THE HUFFINGTON POST, 6/13). THE SUN reported that Redknapp "thought he had done enough to earn an extension." However, Levy "was believed to be unhappy that Redknapp failed to secure Champions League football" despite occupying the third spot for most of last season (THE SUN, 6/13).
Chelsea Makes Di Matteo Deal Official
Chelsea has agreed on a two-year contract with Roberto Di Matteo as their permanent manager and first-team coach, according to Hughes & Butler of the LONDON TIMES. The "main issue to resolve" appears to have been over the length of Di Matteo's contract. He "sought greater security" than the 12-month rolling deal he signed when initially recruited as an assistant to Manager Andre Villas-Boas last summer. While the club has announced a two-year deal, it is "likely to include a break clause" after one year (LONDON TIMES, 6/13). The AFP's Julian Guyer noted that no London club had ever won the European Cup or Champions League until Chelsea beat Bayern Munich in a penalty shoot-out in May. Di Matteo said, "I'm obviously delighted to have been appointed as manager and first-team coach" (AFP, 6/13).
Washed Out Matches Leave Kent Cricket Club Facing Financial Headache
Kent County Cricket Club CEO Jamie Clifford said that "no amount of planning could prevent big losses" as a result of bad weather, according to the BBC. Kent's last five matches "have been foreshortened by the weather," including a rain out in their Twenty20 opener against Sussex. Clifford told BBC Radio Kent, "I've worked in cricket for 12 years and I've never known a summer like it. It had a big impact on our business." The Spitfires' Twenty20 fixture against Sussex Sharks "was originally switched" from Tunbridge Wells to Canterbury "after flash flooding hit the Nevill Ground." It came after two days play was lost against Hampshire in the County Championship and "the abandonment of their match" against Northants in the Clydesdale Bank 40 on Sunday. Sources said that the bad weather for the 100th Tunbridge Wells Cricket Week "could cost the club" £50,000 ($77,780) (BBC, 6/13).
Liverpool Plan To Improve Hospitality Market Runs Afoul Of Relocated Fans
Some Liverpool fans are upset after the club has changed some season tickets "so it can develop the corporate hospitality market, according to Mark Johnson of the LIVERPOOL ECHO. Susan Roberts, whose two Anfield Main Stand seats have been in her family for 108 years, said long-standing fans have been treated in a "shoddy manner." by the club, which "wanted to make changes to the stand in order to better link lounges and seating facilities in readiness for next season." Johnson wrote the area to be changed includes "the first five rows of the Main Stand." The move involves 55 season ticket holders, and they "were given the chance to select different seats elsewhere in Anfield" (LIVERPOOL ECHO, 6/13).

I'm definitely experiencing the urge to pursue an Alien encounter these days. Not that I believe that Aliens actually exist, mind you, but tracking them down is infinitely more pleasurable than investigating secret societies or digging up dead saints' skeletons.
As you might have guessed, I finally got the Bloodline - The Movie review DVD this week... but, as I sat here trying to distill over a decade of dysfunctional dogma into a coherent review, my attention was inevitably drawn to the enchanting eloquence of the balmy British summer evenings which, in turn, concertedly fuelled my mounting impetus to ditch the caves and cathedrals and dusty libraries in favor of cavalierly cavorting in stone circles or pitching a pup tent on a mountaintop to contemplate the occasional passing spaceship.
As if in response to my silent prayer, I was contacted out of the blue by Stuart Miller, a former contributor to a magazine I used to edit, who had astonishingly gotten off his butt and launched his own brand new UFO magazine called Alien Worlds.
This was exactly the inspiration I needed in order to elevate my putrescent perspective... some affirmative Alien action!
And, as I flicked through my complimentary copies, I recognized the names of several old pals that I hadn't been in touch with for well over a year... Peter Robbins, Nick Pope, Nick Redfern, Lloyd Pye and, of course, Stuart himself.
That's when I realized that it doesn't actually matter whether Aliens actually exist or not, because the human beings that inhabit the alien world I know are among the most congenial group of any "alternative" genre that I've ever had the occasion to explore in my travels.
Alien Worlds' website can be found at Alien World Magazine , where you can also subscribe to an email newsletter. Issue Three will be available from June 19th and features articles on the recent release of the Ministry of Defense's UFO Files and Sex in Space.

MPs miss chance to embrace YouTube generation
In the spring of 2007, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, the well-known broadcasting advocacy group, began posting videos and podcasts of Parliamentary committee proceedings on the group's website. When officials at the House of Commons caught wind of the activities, they promptly sent a "cease and desist" letter, demanding that the videos and podcasts be removed from the Internet. A lawyer for the House of Commons argued that posting excerpts from committee proceedings could be treated as "contempt of Parliament."
The group responded that members did not want to remove the videos but would be willing to follow a reasonable procedure to obtain the necessary permissions.
That response did not sit well with the chairs of the Finance and Canadian Heritage Standing Committees, who upon learning that the group was offering webcasts and downloads of their proceedings, asked the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (SCPHA) to examine the issue to prevent further infringement.
The notion that videos of committee hearings constitute proprietary content that when used without permission raise the potential for allegations of contempt of Parliament will undoubtedly come as news to many Canadians. Using these excerpts in YouTube videos, webcasts, or podcasts has emerged as an important and powerful tool for business and consumer groups to educate the public on policy issues and legislative proposals.
Yet, House of Commons lawyers maintain that many of these activities violate the law and have sent notice and takedown demands to YouTube seeking the removal of videos that include House of Commons and committee proceedings. These include clips that involve satire and parody, since they are seen to "distort" the video itself.
SCPHA hearings held earlier this year revealed that Canada's elected officials safeguard Parliamentary video with highly restrictive licencing requirements that are typically limited to use in schools or for private study, research, criticism or review. Relying on Crown copyright, the policy states that any other use – including any commercial use – requires the express prior written approval of the Speaker of the House of Commons.
This stands in sharp contrast to the circumstance in the United States, where the default presumption is that such videos are in the public domain and can be freely used without permission. House of Commons lawyers portrayed that approach as representing an extreme position.
To their credit, most of the MPs on the committee recognized that changes to the policies in the YouTube era are needed. However, MPs from the three opposition parties expressed reluctance to mirror the U.S. approach, fearing that some videos taken out of context could be "terrifically damaging." Bloc MP Claude DeBellefeuille raised the possibility of lawsuits to enforce the copyright and noted that "we will have to establish rules so that we have some recourse and that remarks can be withdrawn after they have been broadcast and pointed out."
Conservative MP Scott Reid came closest to recognizing the problems associated with retaining certain restrictions, warning against policies that provide that videos are "usable for certain purposes but not for the purposes that lie at the heart of what this speech is for." Instead, he argued that using video excerpts for either favourable or critical purposes would be appropriate.
The committee adopted a liberalized policy that permits non-commercial reproduction without prior permission. Commercial uses still require prior approval, while distorting a video for parody, satire or political comment may still lead to demands for its removal. The new policy is a modest improvement, but it fails to fully realize the potential of public political participation through online video.

youve got a universe and youve got its expansion with the big bang, but how did the big bang come into existance?
from another universe? so how did that universe come into existance? from another universe? ect ect ect sooo where did the first universe come from? for all we know it could be infinate, having allways existed and allways will exist. but of course if we assume that to be true the idea of an infinate creator really isnt that far fetched. |

Panel from a tunic
- Place of origin:
Akhmim, Egypt (possibly, made)
- Date:
700-800 (made)
- Artist/Maker:
Unknown (production)
- Materials and Techniques:
Tapestry-woven in linen and wool
- Museum number:
- Gallery location:
Medieval and Renaissance, room 8, case 2
This colourful panel was originally attached to a linen tunic found in an Egyptian burial site. The panel was probably removed from the garment at the time of excavation or soon afterwards. The mounted, haloed figure with a flowing cape represents a victorious emperor, the halo being a symbol of high secular status, as well as having Christian significance. He has what appear to be two captives, who can be identified as Persian by their dress. There are traces of letters above the rider's head which are now illegible.

If you don't monitor social media, you might as well not use it

Must reads site wide
The only car accident I've ever had was when I managed to reverse parallel-park into a telephone pole on a busy Sydney street. As I'm due for a new car, I was quite excited when I saw an ad showing the Ford Focus Titanium reverse parallel-parking by itself. I started doing my research online.
Like all the major manufacturers, Ford has a "book a test drive" feature on its website and on the face of it, it's a very clever marketing tactic. Ford is fulfilling the potential buyer's needs without them having to even pick up the phone or walk into a dealership to get service.
Ford would simply ring me to organise a time I could go to the nearest dealership for a test drive, the car would be ready for me when I got there and off I'd go.
Sounds so easy!
It sounded like the perfect solution for a busy business owner like me so I filled in the online form and waited for Ford to respond. That was over two weeks ago and I've had no call. I filled in a "Contact us" form on Ford's website but yet again, no call – no contact whatsoever. I turned to social media and tweeted at Ford that its "test drive" feature seems to be failing. Still no response.
A few things we can learn from this experience
I know this sounds obvious but it is really important to respond in a timely manner to customer inquiries, no matter what channel they arrive. Although email has been commonplace in business for 10-15 years, many companies still fail to manage multi-channel operations properly. And if companies can't deal with an email inquiry appropriately, what hope is there for social media?
Marketing needs to work for people who don't work in marketing
There are two problems here. My initial request for a test drive went into a black hole and subsequent attempts at follow-up were ignored. It may be my local dealership that didn't action the request for a test drive, but there should be some sort of validation process at Ford's end to ensure this sort of thing doesn't happen.
I suspect that someone in marketing decided, "Let's get into this social media thing" and Ford responded by setting up a Facebook page and a Twitter account. But these social media channels weren't embedded into Ford's "marketing stack" so they're not regularly monitored. Ideally, marketing, sales and customer service should be working together and someone at any one of those three levels – or in Ford's PR department – should have picked up one of my many attempts to communicate with the company and responded.
Social media as a customer service tool
Social media has a huge potential to be used as a customer service tool if it's done correctly. Ford UK has a state-of-the-art multi-channel sales management and communications platform that Ford Australia would do well to emulate. Otherwise, a lost lead is – in the worst case – a lost sale and I'd argue that if a company doesn't have the processes in place necessary to make social media work as an integral part of its marketing stack, it should stick to traditional channels.
Shortly after publication, Ford's global head of social media, Scott Monty, responded to this piece on twitter, and in the comments below:
"This is obviously not how it's supposed to work, and I will admit that our social media capabilities are not necessarily equal in every market around the world," he wrote. "This is largely due to different budgets, staffing arrangements and sizes, and how long a particular market has been involved in social.
"We're probably the most advanced in the States, with the full support of communications, marketing and customer service, although even there we are still not yet fully integrated between our legacy web systems and the social web. But monitoring is a crucial factor in our success and it should be the gold standard around the globe."
This story first appeared on LeadingCompany@podlegal @catrionapollard @leadingco Agree. That's not our corporate standard, but evidently our local market let things slip.

Mobox, where are you getting these errors from? Are they WINE errors, or console output from the STO client?
I'm asking because that first one seems like it's from the game client, but I've never seen anything like it on my end.
The second one looks like a wine error, and while I don't recognise it, I may have gotten it. I haven't closely examined the seh debug channel yet.
Oh, and I do believe you mean megabytes, not gigabytes. Or technically, mibibytes.
1 gibibyte = 2^30 bytes = 1,024 mebibytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 mebibyte = 2^20 bytes = 1,024 kibibytes = 1,048,576 bytes
On a related note, I've tested the winehacks git tree (git://repo.or.cz/wine/hacks.git), and I get exactly the same error (infinite loop while walking heap) on loading.

9 March 2012 Aviva pilots Playbook-based app for risk assessors
Aviva Risk Management Solutions is piloting a mobile solution for its 120 risk advisors based on BlackBerry Playbook tablet computers, which have already been selected as its portable device of choice. The advisors make technical risk assessments of commercial premises across the UK, and the new system will enable them to process the information on site, improving their productivity. The PlayBooks are being pre-loaded with a bespoke risk assessment application, which has been developed by Formicary Collaboration Group, a provider of real-time team collaboration solutions, and Float, which describes itself as a digital ideas company. Aviva stipulated that the system should be able to work offline in commercial properties where online connectivity was not always available. It also had to accommodate the entire assessment, and had to allow images to be embedded in reports to underwriters, and to be attractive to risk assessors accustomed to using paper-based reporting methods. Forms consisting of text entry, selectable options and sliders are used to enter the core data. There are additional options to make freeform notes and take photos. According to senior project manager Paul Heybourne: "The solution brings improved workload management to our advisers, faster resolution times to our customers and higher-calibre reporting for our underwriters." The trials are being run over the winter, and a full roll-out is due to follow in 2012. |

Bring a little autumn cheer into your home with these fun fall decoration tips.
Seattle voters rejected a proposal to pay 20 cents per plastic bag at the register.
This herb cupcake is calorie-free and so darn cute!
What we eat throughout the day affects how we sleep at night. Try these five foods to help you sleep...
Guide trick or treaters and other friendly spirits to your front door with these easy-to-make papier mache ghostly lanterns.
Why not make a spooky lantern to match each member of your family? To begin, you can vary the size of the balloons and the amount of air in them. Add paper cutout accessories such as noses, jewelry or bowties for a personal touch.
You will need (per lantern)
2 tablespoons Elmer's all-purpose glue 1 3/4 cup water Misting bottle 9-inch round balloon Packing tape Paint can or other recycled container for base Candlesticks 8 sheets recycled or repurposed white tissue paper (20-inch squares) 1 sheet black tissue paper or napkin Pen or needle Twine or string (18 inches or longer) Small LED candle
1. Mix glue with water in misting bottle. Inflate and tie balloon and tape securely to top of the candlestick. Use a paint can to elevate balloon 24 inches or more.
2. Set aside 3 full sheets tissue paper. Fold 5 remaining sheets in half, crease well and tear them in half lengthwise. Set aside 4 half sheets. Fold the remaining 6 half sheets on the diagonal, crease and cut them into 12 long, irregular triangles.
3. Lay one full sheet on the top of balloon and mist to saturate. Extend length with two half sheets carefully overlapping original full sheet. Don't worry about wrinkles and folds. Gently saturate and press until flat.
4. Repeat step 3, laying a full sheet on top and adding half sheets to the side to fully cover balloon.
5. Attach triangles to balloon's base with long points facing down. Mist to saturate after each triangle, continuing around base. Use all triangles to create a ragged effect at the bottom.
6. Cut 3 ovals from black tissue or napkin and affix as eyes and mouth. Mist to set in place. Dry lantern in a warm place overnight.
7. Once pâpier maché is dry to the touch, use pen or needle to gently pierce and pop the balloon. Peel away from the paper and discard. Make a loop with one end of string. Make a very small hole in the top of the lantern and pass the string through. Tie or tape LED light to the end of string. Gently pull string through hole until LED light is centered in the lantern and put a discreet piece of tape across the string to keep light in place.

Title: | Dendrobium flower color : histology and genetic manipulation |
Author: | Mudalige, Rasika Geethanjali |
Date: | 2003 |
Publisher: | University of Hawaii at Manoa |
Abstract: | Dendrobium is the most important cut flower orchid in the world. Understanding the chemical, histological and molecular aspects of flower color is crucial for the development of breeding strategies for novel colors. The objectives of this research were to examine the histology of flower color, cloning and characterization of flavonoid biosynthetic genes, and metabolic engineering of Dendrobium flavonoid pathway to obtain new colors. In Dendrobium, anthocyanins can be confined to a single layer of cells (epidermal or suepidermal) in pale flowers. More intensely colored flowers had anthocyanin in several cell layers. Striped patterns on the perianth were due to the restriction of pigment to cells surrounding the vascular bundles. Color perception is markedly influenced by the presence or absence of carotenoids. Four types of epidermal cells were found in Dendrobium: flat, dome, elongated dome, and papillate. Epidermal cell shape and cell packing in the mesophyll affected the visual texture. Perianth parts with flat cells and a tightly packed mesophyll had a glossy texture, whereas dome cells and loosely packed mesophyll contributed a velvety texture. The labella in the majority of flowers examined had a complex epidermis with more than one epidermal cell shape, predominantly papillate epidermal cells. We were able to isolate a full clone of Dendrobium dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (dfr), and partial clones of chalcone synthase (chs), flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (f3'h) and flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase (f3'5'h), from Dendrobium Jaquelyn Thomas 'Uniwai Prince' (UH503). Expression data indicated that dfr and chs were expressed to the greatest degree in unopened buds. Amount of f3'h and f3'5'h mRNA was too small to detect. Southern analysis has shown that f3'h and f3'5'h is represented by 2 copies each in UH503. These clones will be extremely useful in future for flower color manipulation. Two different color genes, dfr and f3'5'h from two non-orchid plants, under the constitutive promoter ubiquitin3, were inserted into Dendrobium Icy Pink 'Sakura' with the intention of creating orange-red and blue shades, which are absent in commercial Dendrobium. Presence of the transgene in two sets of transformants was confirmed by PCR. Expression of the transgene from a few plants was indicated by RT-PCR and northern analyses. |
