Tippy Top was wonderful
The rooms are well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. In fact, my wife said the master bedroom on the main floor has one of the most comfortable king size beds that she has ever slept on. The bathrooms are beautiful, the water is hot, and the towels are large and soft. We cooked breakfasts and dinners at the house and never had a problem with finding what we needed to use to cook the meals. Simply put, the kitchen is well stocked and the appliances are fantastic. You will also love the location of this house! A 10 minute drive from the house puts you in the heart of Pigeon Forge. A few minutes more and you are in Gatlinburg. While staying at Tippy Top, we visited Ober Gatlinburg, toured the Tuckaleechee Caverns, rafted on the Nantahala River, went to Fontana Dam, and drove the Dragon's Tail, among other things. Each one of these locations are in different areas (for example, the river is in North Carolina), but all can be reached easily from the house without having young kids get impatient and saying: "Are we there yet?" You also get the joy of driving through the Great Smoky Mountains and seeing some of the most beautiful views east of the Mississippi River. In sum, if you are thinking about traveling to Pigeon Forge or the Gatlinburg areas do not pass up the opportunity to stay at this beautiful cabin. Mark (The Owner) will make sure that the place is ready for you and, if something is not perfect, they will immediately do what they can to accommodate you.
Nicest cabin we ever had !!!!!
Great Time at Tippy Top Cabin
As a resort rental property owner, I do want to share several items with you that I would appreciate knowing about so I might repair them. Fixing them would enhance the guests overall perception about the quality of the location.
The rocker in the great room can tip over when it is in the reclining position. Which may be a safety issue for other guests.
My wife and I are both in our 70's and not as agile as we once might have been. We loved staying in the Master suite with the beautiful views private bath and fireplace. We weren't about to let any of the children use the suite but a set of steps (we used one of our coolers) would facilitate our getting to and out of the beautiful bed. Also, I didn't try replacing any bulbs so I'm not positive though I'm pretty sure the pull switch that controls the lights in the ceiling fan needs to be replaced. There's plenty of light without the lights in the fan, so it's more of a mood setting thing.
In the Kitchen, the broken drawer, and door shelf didn't prevent us from filling up the refridgerator but they don't add to the quality image of the cabin. Also, it was a bit disconcerting that the Dishwasher isn't tied down to the counter and tips forward when you pull the top drawer out for loading and unloading.
We had a couple of pretty cold nights that week, so we noticed the weather stripping on the double doors to the deck, and the front door is leaving gaps for the cold air to get in and quite probably having an affect on the heating bill. The dead bolt on the downstairs doors to the patio is jammed so we weren't able to use those doors to get to the hot tub. That's probably my fault. I opened the door (which was unlocked when we arrived) during my first exploration of the house, and then locked it when I closed it. As an afterthought, I was surprised it wasn't locked when we got there.
The last item concerns the cigarette butts dropped from the deck that litter the beds around the patio.
The last item concerns the cigarette butts dropped from the deck that litter the beds around the patio. The butts, along with the other trash around the property and in the woods does detract from the quality of the wilderness experience we expect when we go to the mountains.
Great Cabin!!!

Satellite Ultra-Broadband In Europe & Africa: What Outlook for the Residential Market?
- Language: English
- Published: April 2013
- Region: Africa, Europe
On September 23, 2012, the Broadband Commission for Digital Development released "The State of Broadband 2012" report. The report evaluates the roll-out of broadband on a worldwide basis and tracks progress towards achieving the four advocacy targets set by the Commission in 2011 for boosting broadband affordability and uptake.
While the report reveals that broadband availability and use has experienced strong growth – particularly in developed economies; there remains significant gaps in parts of the world – including Africa, southern Asia and Latin America. For lagging markets, mobile broadband will likely be the technology that enables these markets to participate in the digital economy.
The report highlights the importance of public private partnerships in accelerating change, and presents twelve recommendations from the Commission to speed up the roll-out and deployment of broadband to accelerate progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
To manage my draft, I use a piece of software called RotoLab. It links with Ron Shandler's baseball Forcaster and uses those projections for each player to project overall how everyone is going to do in each stat category. As the draft progressed, i entered each choice into the software, although i may have missed a few picks since my last draft pick. The projections also depend on who is played in the slots that count on each roster, and no credit is given for bench players.
Here are the category leaders as projected by Rotolab:
Wins: nate
Saves: Camis
StrikeOuts: Gilpdawg
Era: TRF
WHIP: Atomic Dumpling
Runs: mbgrayson
HRs: mbgrayson
RBIs: stephenk
Steals: mbgrayson
Avg.: redsfandan
This software has me leading overall, but then it should, since I often followed the 'advice' of this software in drafting.(It rates Baseclogger second...) And as we all know, none of the projection systems are all that accurate, no better than about 70% at best. I also used PECOTA from Baseball Prospectus, Bill James Handbook projections, Sporting News, and the Rotowire draft guide. I generally looked for younger players since this is a dynasty league. I then compiled these five rating systems into a spreasheet of players I was interested in, and looked for players that were highly rated in multiple systems, with heavier emphasis on Shandler and Baseball Prospectus ratings. Later in the draft, I looked at spring training numbers, and especially injury reports, to make some decisions. I also used the Baseball America 2009 Prospect Guide and John Sickels 2009 Prospect Book to rank prospects.
I have tried drafting by the seat of my pants before, and I tend to do better with a more systematic (and obsessive) approach. But there are so many factors that come into play, like injuries. I already have Joe Mauer, Scott Baker, and Joey Devine on the DL, and only one DL slot available.
I do find that fantasy baseball makes me better enjoy baseball in general. I think I can name the closers on almost every team now, when before I couldn't have done that...
Ok, I spilled my secrets....what approach do you guys all use?
A healthy Reds team is a strong Reds team"
I make a spreadsheet for hitters, but not pitchers. I just project each hitter's numbers based on their career stats and how I feel about them. Then I come up with z scores including position scarcity and use that as a guide, but I still just sort of go by personal opinion...
edit: I find it interesting that I am projected to finish 2nd overall but not 1st in any individual category...
Wow. I am impressed with your diligence and effort. It will be very interesting to see if it pays off. I am going to win the league, but hopefully your system will earn you second place.
How much did all those resources cost you?
I did a lot of research on prospects and really learned a lot. I made a spreadsheet to graph out the rankings of all the various experts. Other than the top 10 or so prospects the experts were all over the map with their opinions. I didn't take too many prospects because I wanted to win this year while also having a solid foundation for future seasons. There is a new crop of prospects every year right?
I was familiar enough with the established players to wing it somewhat. I take the best player available without worrying too much about positions until late in the draft.
I tried to concentrate on all 10 stats. I tend to draft teams without any stolen bases, so I made a concerted effort to take some guys that steal bases this time.
I am confident that my team will be pretty good at all ten stat categories. I may not win any of them, but I will be in double figures in nearly every category if my predictions are accurate.
I tend to mix and match players a lot rather than using the same lineup every day. That may confuse the Shandler program a bit. My team is also likely to look very different in September than it does in April. I like to make trades and swap out free agents.
Well, this is going to be a very fun season. I can't wait to see who rises to the top and wins the inaugural championship. Probably me.
I used tea leaves to pick my players.
"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
voodoo.Ok, I spilled my secrets....what approach do you guys all use?
That and I wanted to dominate in pitching, which i tend to view as undervalued in fantasy leagues. For offense I wanted a mix of vets and high upside 1st and 2nd year players, hence Schafer, Cruz, Bonifacio and Baker added to players on the comeback trail, Lopez, Blalock, Furcal and Johnson.
It's a volatile mix, and one that could backfire, but its an interesting offense.

I wanted a squad that would give me a chance to compete this season but would also be good--and hopefully getting better--for years to come. All my players asides from a couple still have quite a bit of upside, especially my pitching. I like my pitching as much or more than anyone's. I really, really love my young pitching.

You ladies are going to make this season a cakewalk. I'll consider this my crowning Fantasy Baseball achievement when I win this league. I may even retire. Nothing left to prove after decimating all of you.
first major smack talk of the season.

With the Mahadayi Water Disputes Tribunal team having completed its tour in the State, the government on Monday consulted with floors leaders of both Houses of the legislature and decided to have wider consultations to evolve a concrete strategy to defend the State's share of waters.
A 13-member tribunal team, headed by the former Supreme Court judge J.M. Panchal, toured the northern areas of the State from December 18 to 22. The Mahadayi Water Disputes Tribunal adjudicates the water dispute among the States of Goa and Karnataka.
Karnataka has decided to construct the Kalasa-Banduri Nala project which envisages diversion of 7.56 tmcft of water to the Malaprabha dam by constructing dams across the Kalasa and the Banduri nalas and diversion canals to provide drinking water to towns and villages in Belgaum, Dharwad, Bagalkot and Gadag districts. The Goa government is opposed to the project.
Addressing presspersons after a meeting here, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said a decision has been taken to hold wide consultations with local people, farmers, legal and irrigation experts. Mr. Siddaramaiah said the State government would urge the Centre to provide environment clearance for the project. The State government has commenced canal works in non-forest areas of the State.Urged
Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly H.D. Kumaraswamy urged the government to obtain the environment clearance, while BJP Floor Leader in the Assembly Jagadish Shettar suggested filing an interim petition before the Supreme Court to safeguard the State's interests.
Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council D.V. Sadananda Gowda, Minister for Water Resources M.B. Patil and Minister for Information and Technology S.R. Patil attended the meeting.

Palm position in serve takeback.
Very interested in the advantages and disadvantages and results of different palm positions on service takeback.
Firstly the palm curled in as taught by our own Dave Smith/Tennismastery. And shown by Tommy Haas in this video.
As opposed to the palm down as taught by Rick Macci and shown by Andy Roddick in this video.
Experimenting on my own I find the palm curled in best for day in day out bread and butter hard slice/hybrid serves and for nastier topspin/kickers. And the palm down best for A1 flat ball pure MPH serves.
Really hoping to hear from guys like Tennismastery and Tricky. Have not seen this discussed very much, and I think it is pretty important.
I have tried to figure out how this would make a difference and I just can't seem to put my finger on it. I've experimented with both and things in between and it seems to me once the motion starts the wrist position on take back has no effect at all.
I've been telling some of the kids I work with to simply forget about the take back entirely and concentrate on the motion up to contact. I've said once they get the contact part down and can serve reliably they can use whatever take back they want. It just doesn't seem to matter much at all as far as I can tell.
Jolly, in the videos you've sited, it seems that both Roddick and Haas have similar contact and finishes even though they started differently. The Haas video doesn't quite show everything through the contact, but you can see how the arm and wrist turn in the follow through.
seems to me as if the palm down works better when going straight at the ball and rolled in beter when spinning it. If you watch the vids they are indeed quite different in takeback and followthrough.
What do you think the palm position does? I can think of two potential things.
One, it might change the motion of the swing by activating certain muscles, or two, it might cause a specific stretch-shortening cycle in some muscles which make the pronation more vigorous (as pronation with good servers seems to clearly be a reflex), or perhaps both.
Well, that certainly clarified things.:confused: I'd also be interested in hearing the responses of those more knowledgeable than I.
^^^ If I knew I wouldn't have asked :)
Hoping Yandell, JCO, and some of the other top coaches can shed some light.
Just thinking guys that lay down lightning bolts, seem to favor palm down, and spinners prefer the other. Which mirrors my personal observations.
You have made some good observations regarding the position of the palm (or, relationship of the hand to the forearm) and how subtle positions can augment or embellish service effects.
I have long stated that the majority of pros simply adjust this aspect of their hand position as opposed to making specific grip adjustments. (There are examples of both subtle grip changes as well as turning the hand in or out more.) Players should experiment with different position of the palm (curled in more for spin or turned out for flatter serves as you have correctly reported), as this is where players can discover aspects of the serve that contribute to more effective serving abilities.
Thanks for bringing this important point up. It is a good one.
P.S. With all the holidays, I've been doing the 'family things' of late. Hope to visit more often!
Try throwing a baseball with palm open vs. turned in. With palm open, you will get a lot more whip action from your elbow to your palm, in turn gives you more acceleration, IMHO.
Example of two types of wrist position:
Palm face down = Sampras, Becker
Palm curled in = Edberg
How would you categorize the starting hand position of someone like Goran and his closest imitator Ljubicic who have that odd starting position where the wrist seems to be more heavily in adduction (the pinky toward the outside of the forearm) at the start of the swing?
I dont involve my lessons with stuff like this as it is a personal preference sort of thing <unless they ask>. It often serves to unecesssarily complicate and confuse. I am concerned about what's going on when everything gets into the slot..there are multiple proper means to that end. the precursor stuff really isnt so important provided what they are doing is relaxed and rhythmic and comfortable for them.
^^^ Understood, and yes they both produce effective, yet different results. I am just looking to see what some of our more technical coaches have to say on the matter so that I can see which I prefer as my personal preferance. I really like both ways, but I know that in order to really groove my motion I am going to have to choose one or the other.
Now that my shoulder is 100%, and I have figured out how I want to play, I just need to become a machine, and I would consider it foolish on my part if I did not look into the issue before deciding.
good luck with the palm thing.... i wouldnt want to change something like that...you could change it and never get it going back to as good as it was before, let alone improve
I always thought this was related to the type of serve? Maybe I'm wrong here, but I've always curled my palm in for kickers/slices, while I leave it out whenever I go for a flat serve. Maybe we should find a video of both roddick/hass serves, see if their palm position changes from serve to serve?
^^^ Ya but I don't want to telegraph my intent, unless I started out the same way and rolled it in or out early in the takeback. If I started out differently it would be extremely easy to tell what was comming, and while my flat ball has enough hurt on it to be extremely effective if you know it is comming, it is about unreturnable if you don't.
Some more, Querrey down, Safin in.
I definitely find it easier to hit flat with palm down and hitting with spin when the palm is curled. For fear of playing against observant, higher level players who are capable of reading my serve, I've opted to stick with a curled palm and gradually find a way to hit flatter because I think it's significantly easier to make that adjustment than to keep a palm down approach and doing the opposite.
I think what is causing me difficulty in understanding this wrist thing is that it seems no matter what I do at the beginning my wrist position during the upward swing is going to be totally dependent on my intended contact.
If I am hitting a slice serve my wrist must be positioned a certain way to allow the racquet face to slice the ball more toward the right hand side (for righty server) than if I am going to hit flat where the wrist is going to be in a slightly different position.
In my personal experimentation the things that have mattered are grip and swingpath. The wrist for me is pretty much along for the ride. I have gotten some nice boost from working with adding more supination before pronation, but I think that's not really related to this discussion. I'd be interested to hear others theories on how the wrist position at the start could effect the larger forces later in the swing.
Sorry but can anyone explain to me what palm up and palm curl is? Thanks in advance.

Children's Literature"I am not evil." maintains a shy Arabella Getchel. Nevertheless, her infatuation with the ruthless and insane John Wilkes Booth as he plots to kidnap and eventually assassinate the president nearly ravaged her youthful being. Wilkes (as he preferred to be called) and Bella alternate roles in this historical novel that reveals happenings in each character's early life, similarities and differences in their personal history, and involvement in Lincoln's murder from the point of view of the killer and the teen. Bella was just eight when their paths first crossed at a Richmond theater. Their mutual love for the stage and her ensuing adoration of the most charismatic and famous actor of his time were further intertwined with her position as a seamstress for Mary Todd Lincoln. Her position eventually gave rise to a White House passport for the slayer's scheme. The accurate drama is enhanced as the fictitious fourteen-year-old girl's tale serves as a mirror that reflects the well-researched people, events, and surroundings of that period in history, including Lincoln's presidency and the Civil War. The author effectively chronicles the lessons of where our country has been in time, and expertly weaves broad personal accounts of lives affected by the tragic events. Readers will quickly become involved in a blend of romance, mystery, and intrigue. 2005, Walker & Company, Ages 11 to 16.

French magic numbers
In a magic square the sums of each row, column and major diagonal are equal. There is a remarkable relationship between the two magic squares shown here. Each integer in the one on the left when written as a word in English contains the number of letters indicated by the corresponding integer in the one on the right: "twenty-five" has 10 letters, "eight" has five letters, and so on.
I wondered whether I could create a new magic square on the left such that every integer in it when written as a word in French contains the number of letters indicated by the corresponding integer in the square that we already have on the right. It isn't possible to do this, but I have created a new square in which seven of the integers fulfil this requirement and the other two are each just one letter short of the number of letters required.
As in the English example, all the integers in my new square are considerably less than 100. Please submit my new square.

After having an Appliance repairman spend 1.5 hours trying to fix the machine I sent him away and told him I wouldn't pay more than .5 hours labor as he clearly didn't know what he was doing. He didn't have a schematic and I believe he actually made the problem worse.Using the part blowup on partselect I was able to identify the part needed and purchase it in a few minutes. In the future, I will diagnose and try to fix this type of problem myself instead of wasting the time and money with "repair" experts...

I can't stand reading all these negative reviews of this album! First of all, I just got into Morcheeba within the last couple months.

I'm only giving this album 3 stars because I think it has potential to grow on me a little. Other wise, I'd say it was a 2. I became a HUGE Morcheeba fan after listening to Who Can You Trust and Big Calm, so I rushed out and bought Fragments as soon as I could. I paid just under $20 for it and am slightly sorry. It is definitely more "up-beat" than their...

Ce commentaire est de: Fragments of Freedom (Audio CD)
I was perusing my enormous cd collection over the holiday weekend and came across Morcheeba's "Fragments of Freedom" cd. I haven't listened to it in a couple of years. "Fragments of Freedom" is the only Morcheeba cd that I own so I can't compare it to the group's other albums. I honestly didn't think that "Fragments of Freedom" is as bad as a lot of people say that it is. I'm not a big fan of funk music but surprisingly enough I found myself enjoying the group's more funk-laden tracks like "Love is Rare" and "Let It Go". "Fragments of Freedom" is by far not perfect because the way that the songs flow together which is a bit on the choppy side. I mean the first two tracks are gorgeous your traditional icy trip hop songs and then the next two are '70s funk-laden tracks. The fifth track is a dancehall/reggae-influenced track. I thought the various sounds made the album. Overall the sound on the album was uneven. Nevertheless I did like all of the songs despite the fact that they made the album sound very uneven.

Hmmm...maybe nobody else thought of this, but don't you think that maybe Morcheeba is PURPOSELY TRYING to be corny? I mean, you can't write a song like "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" and not smirk to yourself. No, I have never heard their music before, but I really liked "Rome..." on an internet radio station and I found the album (plus a bonus disc) at a used CD store. So, I figured, why not? Well, songs like "World Looking In" and "A Well Deserved Break" are refreshing as well as the hip hop tracks "Love Sweet Love" and "In the Hands of the Gods". A lot of the material also sounds like something Macy Gray would sing. I also believe that the truly awesome "Shallow End" is a tune Jamiroquai would kill to get their hands on. True, I probably picked a CD that sounds nothing like their other work, but, hey, at least I'm interested in hearing more of their stuff. "Charango", here I come.
(The bonus disc almost completely makes up for any low points "Fragments..." might have. The first track is an excellent remix of "In the Hands of the Gods", the next being the Frogmarched mix of the title track, but they've saved the best for last: Morcheeba's own twist on the oldies fav "Crystal Blue Persuasion"! If you're able to find "Fragments..." with this bonus disc, get it!!"

I can't stand reading all these negative reviews of this album! First of all, I just got into Morcheeba within the last couple months. I have no idea why it took me so long, but I am SO glad I finally did. I started with Big Calm because everyone said that was the best. I loved it instantly. Every song was catchy. BUT - everyone had said it was an ultra-chillout album, in sort've a trip-hop vein. That's ridiculous. It's a catchy, mostly upbeat album. Which is great - I was just mislead by reviews. So, loving Big Calm, I thought I'd check out Fragments of Freedom, even though it got such horrible reviews. My expectations were low, but upon first listen, I fell absolutely in love with it. I don't know what is wrong with you guys! It's one of the catchiest and most fun albums I've ever heard. EVERY song on it is great (except for the 1 1/2 minute-long Biz Markie song). Many people have said that Fragments is such a huge departure for Morcheeba. Let me just say that they're nuts. After Fragments I bought Who Can You Trust?, and the change in styles was a hundred times more drastic between that (their first) and Big Calm (their second). Take the more upbeat songs from Big Calm, and that's what Fragments is like. They did NOT sell out. They did what they do best. Each Morcheeba album gets better and better. I cannot wait til the next one!

To everyone who's been giving this cd a bad review, all I have to say is LIGHTEN UP!! and quit being so stuffy. Sure, it's not "who can you trust" or "big calm", but the band was ready to experiment and try something different. My guess is that they were tired of doing another slow, moody trip hop album again. Seriously, would you guys REALLY have wanted "Big Calm 2"? For proof that the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude doesn't work, take a look at the Cranberries. Anyway, back to this abum. Sure, the lyrics are cliched and silly.. but that's INTENTIONAL!!! The band was having a GOOD TIME when they recorded this album, and you can tell! As for them selling out.. the music on this album may be catchy but it's not really commercial. The only song I could ever picture being a North American radio hit would be "Be Yourself". My advice is to stop being so ignorant and don't judge this album before you listen to it. Forget about Morcheeba's old records for a minute and listen to this. Music doesn't always have to be serious, dull and artsy in order to be good. Just enjoy it for what it is.. while "Who Can You Trust" and "Big Calm" were the kind of albums that were meant for the listener to sit down with headphones to listen to, "Fragments" is an all-out, good time, party album. People are always complaining about other bands doing the same thing over and over, yet when Morcheeba makes a departure from their normal stuff, they get shot down. Just enjoy the music!!!!

Man, i have just got into Morcheeba in the last year, and i was very pleased with 'Big Calm' and 'Who can you trust?' was decent but when i heard that they've released a new cut i was very pleased.
I couldn;t believe what i was listening to when i put this on. Man it is poor. I just about managed to extract three decent tunes from this album, but they only sound decent when played against other tunes on 'fragments of freedom'.
AVOID at all costs, i cannot stress this point more. You are only allowed to not listen to my warning (and about 60 other reviewer's), if this is the first Morcheeba album you've heard or if you like more sophisticated pop. Yes, i hate to admit it but Morcheeba are now a pop band, like ALL SAINTS or SUGABABES.
There is this trend that is really annoying me. Good bands bringing out poor albums, because they want to make more money.
They therefore aim at the pop market and the charts, and so make unimaginative, poor music. This has happened to HOOVERPHONIC'S latest release. Lamb's latest 'What sound' (only available in england for the moment), hasn't turned to pop album, its just poor as is Tricky's 'Pre-millenium Tension'.
I just hope the same won't happen to Portishead (if they ever get around to maing a new album).

Ce commentaire est de: Fragments of Freedom (Audio CD)
With the great eruption of Morcheeba into the realms of fame has unfortunately brought with it a desire to become a popular chart band. Becoming a popular chart band (singles band) means producing music that is palitable to the easy listener who will get a short but quick hit from a top ten single then probably forget about the song and move on to the next number one. If this is the aim of Morcheeba then they have done well for themselves because most of the songs on Fragments of Freedom are hits in themselves (Rome Wasn't Built In A Day), lovely easy listening, joyful, bouncy and easy to sing along to. I must admit that their songs will cheer you up however that is as far as it goes.
On personal opinion I have given them 2 stars because this isn't the sort of music I am looking for however if I were rating the album on merit such as breadth, quality of the recording etc then this album does deserve 4 stars. The quality of the recording is excellent and will make any cheap stereo sound good, it is crisp and clear. Skye's voice is brilliant for the Godfrey brothers' music (five stars there)! They also use a large variety of instruments, which makes each song have a different sound and thus makes the album a little bit more interesting. Another point I would like to draw attention to is that Morcheeba manage to make each song progress and change through out making it a slightly captivating album.
So there you have it, with Big Calm as Morcheeba's best album (a lot more deeper and meaningful) Fragments of Freedom has had a lot to live up to. Buy Fragments of Freedom if you want an easy listening album, it is well made and straight to the point.
2.0 out of 5 stars Fragments, and that's all.,
"ledgermane" (Peoria, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Fragments of Freedom (Audio CD)
I honestly did not like most of the music on this album. I found myself wincing in a kind of bemused horror at all but four tracks on the CD, and only ended up truly enjoying World Looking In and Fragments of Freedom. I wonder if my appreciation of the latter, last track was influenced by the relief I felt after suffering through the disco/pop fluff that makes up the bulk of this album.
That being said,
Morcheeba (like all bands) has the right or, if you will, obligation, of experimenting with their style, their form or manner of expression, independant of the opinions of their fans. But I find it unfortunate that they have chosen to make the semi-serious step of actually releasing an experiment into mainstream pop music, not because I dislike the style (I do), but because they seem to have given in to the fault that plagues every other here-today-gone-tomorrow pop band, of producing absolutely forgettable tunes that talk without saying anything.
I respect Morcheeba's decision to turn towards pop in search of another avenue of creation (if that's what this is...I'll get to that later), and I sincerely wish that if they continue in this direction they will find a way to reconcile what I consider to be a very real need to express *something* with an artistic creation and the overwhelmingly directionless, expressionless nature of pop music. In the meantime, I'll just put Big Calm and Who Can You Trust? on repeat and dream of better days.
The conspiracy theorist in me would now like to point out the following: The first track and the title track on this album, the ones most likely to be listened to by a consumer deciding whether or not to buy a particular album, are in Morcheeba's accustomed style that so many of us love. And (most of) the rest is easily produced, trite fluff. Filler, if you will. Maybe that filler attracts pop enthusiasts (they do all seem to be enthused individuals, don't they?), maybe not.
The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this album was created with the base intention of garnering income.

Morcheeba had a chance to kill this failure in the crib --recognize it as the boner it is and decide it's not worthy of theirname. Too late now. After recommending Big Calm to countless friendsand buying it for a number of them, I regularly checked Amazon to seewhen group's follow-up would release. Granted, everyone who's heardCalm has had eagerly anticipated Morcheeba's next; we know whatthey're cabable of -- but we never expected THIS. Asking myself,"why?" I figured that it's not uncommon for a talented groupto "go experimental" and fail. Maybe their fans don'tapprove, maybe there's little popular appeal in the group's newdirection, even if you can hear that they're trying to be inventive.Unfortuately I can't be that gracious here. Ditto other reviews'desciptions of "cheesy" riffs and "daft" lyrics.After the opening cut, "World Looking In," you can forgetabout hearing any lyrical melodies or meaningful lyrics. As youlisten to the trite, chant-like verses, you too will start to hit the"next track" button on your cd player, thinking to yourself,"there's got to be some better music here!?" When the cd isexhausted and you discover that there isn't, you'll wonder how a groupwith the undisputable talent to make "Big Calm" is not onlycapable of making "Fragments" but why none of the groupmembers stopped or redirected the project before it was wrapped andthe cd released. Now it's too late and the name Morcheeba is foreverattached to it. Let's hope this is just a creative hiccup, the likesof which all talented, intelligent people are capable. In themeantime, my "Fragments" cd will make a nice coaster.

10 minutes into this album, I began to wonder in a panic: what happened?? Hoping track after track that it would get better, I subjected myself to an eternity of limp melodies, flinching at the pure cheesiness of the whole album that does not deserve to have the name "morcheeba" printed on it. But could it be? After flirting innovatively at the edges of retro in their previous releases, could they really have fallen into the pit of vacuous lyrics and tried and predictable arrangements--even more vacuous and predictable than the original wave of bad r&b and the worst moments in disco? Retro is fine, but let's face it: Morcheeba may extemporaize and reinvent old forms, but why even try to emulate so closely something that had been done exponentially better a long time ago? Don't let this web page beckon you with a less-than-mediocre new release of morcheeba--move your mouse quickly away from the "buy this item" button. (And to think, I waited months for this embarrassment to be released!)

Ian Creamer (Dublin,Ireland) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Fragments of Freedom (Audio CD)
Firstly I have to say I am a big Morcheeba fan.I loved the first two albums and was really looking forward to this one after the amazing 'Big Calm'.And I have to say what a terrible dissappointment this c.d. 'Fragments of Freedom' is. The c.d. starts off nicely with an excellent ,smooth,opener-'World Looking In',which is as good as any of their other songs.Then it starts to go downhill with the 2nd song and the first single 'Rome Wasn't Built In A Day'(but this c.d. was probably written in one!).The lyrics on this track are the daftest I've heard in a long while-e.g.'One Fine day, we'll fly away,don't you know Rome wasn't built in a day,Hey,Hey,Hey' -ingenious (It's a real case of 'how do we finish this silly chorus'?)The next 2 tracks are o.k.Trade mark slow paced grooves with a nice mixture of acoustic,electric guitars and on track 4 a nice brass section.Then we have track 5 a dreadful steel drum instrumental which starts off with a dialogue about Florida being hot and violent place. Track 6 takes a sample from Grandmaster Flash-'The Message'-it's not a bad song.Then we have some dreadful songs featuring some weak rap artists-these songs are neither funky or catchy.'Shallow End ' is my 2nd favourite song on the c.d. and it has an excellent disco riff,so currently in vogue.The remaining songs sound like b-side rejects,with nothing particularly good about them. I hope this c.d. is just a temporary abberation for Morcheeba and hopefully the next c.d. will be a big improvement.One final thing is I suppose groups should be admired for trying something new and this c.d. certainly sounds like a group experimenting with a newish sound-but in my opinion they just don't carry it off very well.

A boozing burglar has landed himself in jail. Shortly after 5 a.m. Thursday (Feb. 28), Shreveport police officers received a call about an alarm going off at the Circle K in the 300 block of Kings Highway.

More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Rock singer Chito Miranda on Tuesday formally asked the National Bureau Investigation (NBI) to track down whoever stole and exposed his sex video with his girlfriend, more than a week after the clip surfaced on the Internet.
Speaking to reporters at the NBI main office in Manila, the Parokya ni Edgar frontman said a hard drive containing his private video with TV star Neri Naig was stolen along with other items from a safe inside his room at his Quezon City residence.
"There was no sign of a break-in and the (only other) people inside our house were the household help and (members of) my family," Miranda, 37, said in the interview. He said he already had suspects but declined to name them.
NBI head agent Ronald Aguto said the bureau already had leads on who uploaded the video on YouTube and that they would be the focus of the investigation.
"It appeared that Miranda is serious in his complaint against whoever spread the video," the NBI official said as he warned those engaged in such activities that they could be charged with violation of the antivoyeurism law.
The Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009 imposes a penalty of three to seven years in prison and a fine of P100,000 to P500,000.—Nancy C. Carvajal

Travel inspiration in Venice and Vienna
Venice is a unique experience for every traveller and certainly a must for lovers. Few people know that Venice is actually an island-city with a train bridge connecting it to mainland Italy. This romantic city actually has no roads at all! To move around there are 150 canals and over 400 bridges! Venice has also beautiful churches, squares and museums. The southern part of the Venice has a certain village feel. Perfect to wander around in the little alleys, get lost and finally reach the Santa Margherita square. Ideal place for its lively bars!
Vienna, the capital of Austria
Vienna is the capital city of Austria and home to approximately 1,6 million inhabitants. Vienna is the seat of many multinationals and is becoming more and more important as a centre for trade between Western and Eastern Europe. Vienna is also a city of green parks, calm, dreamy alleys, art and music. This city is rightly deemed a city worth living in, being a cosmopolitan city of culture and gastronomy.
Reviews & ratings Venice - Vienna
"Euro rail experience".
We were a group of four travelling from Venice to Basel in Switzerland. The train ride was exceptional. I would do this again not only for the beautiful landscapes but the service on these trains. You can see the countries by travelling on the train alone. Those beautiful countrysides in Switzerland was indeed a highlight for me. Definitely five star rating.

EATON — The Preble County Room, curator of local historical documents and publications, recently added a compilation of documents on the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic to its collection. Titled "Deadly Virus: The Worst Plague in American History," it follows the effects of the illness on the Preble County area and supplements that with information on the worldwide information on the response to the pandemic that killed between 30 and 50 million people worldwide.
The year 1918 saw the end of World War I and the dedication of the newly-constructed Preble County Courthouse, but it also saw the beginning of one of the worst pandemics in human history. Preble County was not immune to the pandemic, which claimed the lives of many locals.
The newest collection at the Preble County Room includes a plethora of information on the pandemic, both local information and worldwide. The local information features many local news stories published in the Twin Valley Echo, Preble County News, and The Register-Herald through late 1918 and 1919.
One article from the Feb. 13, 1919 edition of Preble County News also described a strange side effect of the influenza:
"A large number of those afflicted have lost their hair. The hair does not come out gradually, as in cases of typhoid fever, but all at once, leaving the person bald."
Also included in the compilation are obituaries of Preble County flu victims taken from the Lewisburg Leader at the time. The book also has information about the worldwide effects of the pandemic, personal stories from survivors, family, and friends, and internet and printed resources for information on the 1918 pandemic.
The book, compiled by Skip Rhoades, is available at the Preble County Room at 450 S. Barron St. in Eaton.

Hi Everyone,
I'm going to Italy in a few days and have arranged to spend a few hours in Marsico Nuovo on my last day (the town my family is from). I won't have a lot of time and it will be a Saturday. I'm not sure the town hall will be open on Saturday, but I am hoping to find a cemetery. I know of at least one ancestor who's death record is from Marsico, so I assume he is buried there. Does anyone know anything about this town or its' cemeteries? Any suggestions for maximizing my 4 hours in town?
Thanks for your advice!

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scientists at deCODE genetics (Nasdaq: DCGN) and colleagues from the US and ten European countries today announced a long-awaited first in cancer research: the discovery of common single-letter variations in the human genome (SNPs) linked to susceptibility not of one, but several different types of cancer, including those of lung, bladder, prostate, skin and cervix.
Over the past two years, deCODE has led a wave of discoveries by scientists around the world of common SNPs conferring risk of many major types of cancer. Yet without exception, these SNPs have been linked to cancer of only one or at most two tissue types or organs. The SNPs published today, located near each other on chromosome 5p15, may therefore help to tag major biological mechanisms underlying cancer susceptibility more generally. The paper, entitled "Sequence variants at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus associate with many cancer types," is published today in the online edition of Nature Genetics at www.nature.com/ng, and will appear in an upcoming print edition of the journal.
"Today's findings demonstrate the power of using genetics to advance our
understanding of the biology of cancer and to discover new strategies for
assessing and reducing risk. Our next task is to discover how these SNPs
affect susceptibility. One plausible, but as yet unproven, explanation is that
these variants provide a genetic background that determines how our bodies
respond to environmental risk factors. A thread connecting these different
cancer types is that most have important known environmental risk factors and
all tend to arise in the tissue layers directly exposed to the environment.
One of the SNPs we have discovered is in a gene involved in determining the

Jimmy Kimmel introduced his new baby in typical Jimmy Kimmel style, with a few hilarious one-liners. "We made it out of sex," the late-night host joked.
Kimmel also revealed that he and his wife, Molly McNearney, named their daughter after his grandmother Jane: "we had a little girl, we named after my grandmother - her name is Grandma Kimmel."
Baby Jane weighed 6 Lbs., 1 oz., 20 inches long at birth: "Just above the legal limit - sometimes, they make you throw them back."
Though only showcasing these five precious photos, Jimmy admitted, "I've been taking somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 pictures a day."
Jane is Kimmel's 3rd child. His other children, Kevin and Katherine, are ages 20 and 22, respectively. Watch Jimmy reveal Jane in the video clip below.

Weekend Play: The J-Party Download
Posted on April 4, 2014 AT 05:00pm
Welcome to EGM's Weekend Play, a weekly account of what games the editors of EGM are currently playing, and an open conversation with you, the reader, about what you've been playing.
So, check out what we're playing below, and then chime in with your own choices for the weekend in the comments section.
This is one of those weird weekends where I have no idea what gaming I'm going to do. Last weekend, I was out of town for a short (but much enjoyed) vacation. This week, it was a lot of catching up and planning for next week's PAX East event.
And now, this weekend, I have no games to play for work. After a deluge of games targeted directly at me and my tastes, things have suddenly quieted down. So, could it be? Could I actually get to simply relax and enjoy videogames this weekend, without having to worry about beating this or that so that I can get a review written up in short order?
You know the thing I want to go back and play? Persona 4 Golden. Possible due to the re-release of the PS2 version via PSN that's coming up next week, I got to thinking again about just how darn good that game is. So, maybe I'll spend more quality time with that. Maybe I'll get around to snagging the Pac-Man collection Namco Bandai released, so I can finally own Pac-Man Championship Edition on PS3 (now that I own it on Xbox 360, PS Minis, and 3DS). Maybe I'll finish up grabbing the trophies I missed in Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Or, maybe I'll sit down with something that's totally off my radar, yet which still sits—unopened—on my shelf.
Back in 2012, observers of the Japanese gaming scene—even those with extensive knowledge and experience with the seedier side of the hobby on the streets of Akihabara—snickered at the thought of Conception: Please Have My Babies!, a Persona-style RPG that tasked players with creating fighting, spell-casting kids with a roster of doe-eyed anime lasses. Three years later, the sequel is actually getting localized by Atlus, and word is that the game's not as bad—or quite as creepy—as you might expect. In fact, developer Spike Chunsoft has an impressively quality pedigree, with games like Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward and Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc in recent years, so I'm looking forward to seeing whether there's more to the game than the admittedly semi-skeevy concept.
It's been more than two years since Star Wars: The Old Republic occupied far too many sleepless nights in my my pursuit to be a Jedi Master. Since then, I have deftly avoided the MMORPG trap, and I've led a more productive life because of it. Until this week.
This week, I began playing The Elder Scrolls Online. Barely though the opening sequence, I already can tell I'm in trouble. Tamriel, some 1000 years before Skyrim, is a huge place, and I already have quests piling up.
Therefore, this weekend I will devoting myself to the pursuit of experience. My lowly level four will be in double digits by the end of Saturday, my crafting skills will be well on their way to mastery, and I will likely belong to at least one guild (somebody's gotta have your back, Jack!). And by Monday, when I get back to work, I will be tired, surly, smelly, and much, much more powerful.
This weekend I'll be putting my Kinect 2.0 to a true test for the first time as I strap on some digital cleats and get ready for Kinect Sports Rivals. I'm looking forward to seeing if the game's facial recognition tech has improved since I saw it at Gamescom 2013 last summer, as well as trying out next-gen bowling and soccer. I'm also curious about the loose story mode the game supposedly sports this time around—something about the island where all the events take place is being fought over by three rival factions. The best part of the entire experience, though, may be hearing David Tennant (for you non-Doctor Who fans out there, he's kind of a big deal in the series) make his videogame debut as the narrator.
Remember how I said I was playing a bona fide J-game last week? Didn't go too well. Ragnarok Odyssey ACE was a tedious marathon of one terrible design decision after another. Don't worry, though: I'm not holding a single bad game against the whole of Japanese gaming. I'm holding it against the whole of gaming, period. Around the time ACE made me wail on a giant's furry taint for the better part of 15 minutes, I had a moment of clarity where the absurdity of what I was doing actually sank in and I decided I didn't want to play videogames anymore—at least not for a little while.
So this weekend, I'm going to try to finish a book Chris has been pestering me to read since we met, Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon. I'll harness the most powerful rendering engine known to man, human imagination, to travel to new worlds and live vicariously through heart-pounding adventures and futuristic intrigue. Screw 1080p. My mind displays in ∞p. Framerate is terrible, though.
I accomplished none of my gaming goals last weekend, so this weekend I'm not even going make any and instead just be brutally honest. The only game I'll be playing—if any—will be Titanfall.
But at the risk of sounding uninspired, like Josh, I'll probably spend most of this weekend taking a break from videogames and catching up on some reading. I, too, am paging through Altered Carbon in some sort of book club arrangement the two of us have. Though, for me, this is about my fifth or sixth reading. It's become something of an annual ritual for me. There's also some non-fiction I want to finally get to, such as Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men, a sociological look at at the homosocial inclinations of men between adolescence and adulthood, by Michael Kimmel, a sociologist.
Sadly, real life has reared its ugly head this week so my gameplay time will be limited. However, that doesn't mean that I'm not going to play anything. Over the next few days, I plan on spending the majority of my spare time with Hearthstone as I try to reach legendary rank in the first official season with my control warrior deck—which is no easy task. I'm also hoping that Blizzard releases the iPad version of the game in other territories this weekend so I can enjoy it on the go and not have to worry about being at my computer.
As well as Hearthstone, I'll also be hopping into Star Wars: The Old Republic every now and again to prepare for the upcoming release of patch 2.7 on Tuesday. I really need to set myself up better for season two of PvP to try and make amends for the disappointing sub 1,000 ranking that I'm going to finish the current season with.

Waterfront Accommodation in Alert Bay, B.C. - home of the Orca
Alert Bay Lodge is a four room, west coast retreat lying off the pristine north-east coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. Located at 549 Fir Street on the south shore of Cormorant Island, the lodge overlooks Johnstone Strait. This narrow, glacier-carved waterway is home to a population of about 200 orcas, the largest pod in the world.
Orcas are often spotted from the sundeck, which is a stone's throw from the beach. Across the Strait from the Lodge, the Vancouver Island Mountain Range rises from the shores of Vancouver Island, providing a stunning backdrop to our ocean view. The lodge is busiest from mid-June to the end of September when orca and grizzly bear viewing is prime. We utilize Tide Rip Grizzly Adventures for our bear tours and Stubbs Whale Watching for our whale and marine life tours. Tide Rip picks up in Alert Bay, a short walk from the lodge. Stubbs is located in Telegraph Cove which is accessible by water taxi or by vehicle.
Cedar log in construction, the Lodge was originally a church. This legacy is reflected in the high arched cedar beams that frame the expansive common room and the former pulpit which now serves as one of our 'conversation nooks'. In the Great Room guests can peruse the library, relax by the woodstove and exchange stories with other guests. The Great Room is also the setting for our small Italian restaurant. Wireless internet is available without charge.
Year round attractions unique to Alert Bay include the U'Mista Cultural Centre. Known for its potlatch collection, the Centre is a 20 minute walk away along the ocean road and is open Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. About one kilometre inland lie the Ecological Gardens and Big Tree Trail - haunting and beautiful at any time year. A summary of local events is below. Or click here for a detailed list of events.
Now book on-line and get confirmation sent directly to your email!
Saturday, April 4 2015
Spring has sprung in our island community! Fragrances of fresh cut grass and flowers now mix with cedar smoke and salt to create an Island tonic that harbingers another great summer. Temperatures are averaging 10C during the day.
The lodge opens on May 16. Our Italian restaurant will open shortly thereafter.

Shotgun proteomics is a powerful technology for protein identification in complex samples with remarkable applications in elucidating cellular and subcellular proteomes [1,2], and discovering disease biomarkers [3,4]. Shotgun proteomics data analysis usually relies on database search. Commonly used protein sequence databases in shotgun proteomics data analysis do not contain mutation information. This becomes a problem in cancer studies in which the detection of disease-related mutated peptides/proteins is crucial for understanding cancer biology [5]. Including protein mutation information into sequence databases can help alleviate this problem.
Based on the human Cancer Proteome Variation Database developed by us recently [6], which comprises 41,541 nonsynonymous SNPs in 30,322 proteins from the dbSNP database and around 9000 cancer-related variations in 2,921 proteins, we created a variation-containing protein sequence database and a data analysis workflow for mutant protein identification in shotgun proteomics (Figure 1). Applying this workflow on colorectal cancer cell lines identified many peptides that contain either non-cancer-specific or very important cancer-related variations, such as a known somatic mutation in K-Ras in HCT116 cell line. Our workflow for mutant peptide identification has been tested for compatibility with various popular database search engines including Sequest, Mascot, X!Tandom as well as MyriMatch.
Figure 1. Architecture for identifying mutant peptides from cancer shotgun proteome data
Owing to its protein-centric nature, the approach we proposed can serve as a bridge between genomic variation data and proteomics studies in human cancer.

Los Angeles Mayor Says Romney "Trotting Out People With A Spanish Surname" To Win Latino Vote
He's in Tampa, he says, in part to show solidarity with those awaiting Hurricane Isaac.
TAMPA — Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa laid into Mitt Romney's immigration policies on Tuesday morning, saying Romney's effort to woo Hispanic voters is falling on deaf ears.
"They can trot out people with a Spanish surname, but people are going to vote…about what they say, what they've done, and what they're gonna do," Villaraigosa told reporters just blocks from the Republican National Convention. I don't think it's going to do much for him."
"What country in the world has ever deported 11 million people," Villaraigosa asked, attacking the plausibility of Romney's immigration plan. "Those 11 million people have 5 million citizen children, they also have 1.5 million or so dreamers…They are losing the demographic, not because of anything except for their policies."
"I think we're going to get close to 70 percent of the Latino vote," he predicted — beating Obama's 67-percent share of the vote in 2008.
Villaraigosa, who has been in Tampa since Sunday to "bracket" the Republican National Convention, said he also a more altruistic motive — showing solidarity with those in the path of Tropical Storm Isaac.
The storm, which is bearing down on New Orleans hundreds of miles to the Northwest, largely missed Tampa and the GOP convention, with sunny skies on Monday and today.
"As much as we're here to compare and contrast, we're also here to say that Democrats and Republicans, locally, at the state level, and at the federal level, are all working together, putting the health and safety of the people in front of this storm first," Villaraigosa said.
Most of the speakers at the Democratic National Committee's press conference mentioned the storm, with former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs putting on his old hat and encouraging those who may be affected by it to listen to authorities and take appropriate precautions.
