Thai crisis far from over
By Darren Schuettler
BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thai Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra's decision to step aside after a snap election left
him unable to form a new government has let some steam out of a
seven-month political crisis, but the drama is far from over.
The main opposition parties are boycotting by-elections on
April 23 meant to complete last weekend's snap poll called by
Thaksin to rout critics who accused him of corruption and abuse
of power. They want political reforms first.
Most of the 39 seats, all but one in the southern
opposition stronghold, could remain unfilled.
Only a full parliament can elect a new prime minister to
replace Thaksin, but parliament must convene within 30 days of
the April 2 poll.
Meanwhile, Thaksin says he will take "a rest" but retain
leadership of his Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party, a move his enemies
say will allow him to pull strings from behind the scenes.
Months of hard negotiations lie ahead and the outcome is
Following are some possible scenarios:
– The Election Commission says re-runs in 39 constituencies
are open to the three parties that boycotted the April 2
general election. The opposition wants meaningful political
reforms first.
If the by-elections are inconclusive, the EC could ask the
Constitutional Court to allow parliament to meet while more
polls are held, analysts say.
But that could trigger protests against the court which has
handed Thaksin two favorable rulings in the past.
"Whether the Constitutional Court, the involuntary power
broker in the present political situation, would play along
with the TRT remains to be seen," said Kim Eng Securities.
– Street protesters outside Government House have packed
up. But they left behind yet another ultimatum for Thaksin —
leave politics completely, or the protests resume on April 30.
"Thaksin will no longer be the prime minister, but he is
still the leader of the party and will bring in his nominee to
implement his policies, which we won't accept," media mogul and
rally leader Sondhi Limthongkul said.
But April is the hottest month of the year and opinion
polls show most Bangkok residents growing weary of the protests
and the disruptions they cause.
Critics say the 1997 "People's" Constitution needs a
rewrite to close loopholes used by Thaksin to undermine checks
and balances and subvert the independence of watchdog agencies.
That process will take six months to a year and involve a
"neutral" committee of former charter drafters, judges and
legal experts, says Bhokin Bhalakula, the former speaker of
parliament and lawyer who is likely to oversee the process.
The opposition has not spelled out what reforms it wants,
but analysts say it may seek to curb the powers of the prime
A rule requiring election candidates to belong to a party
for 90 days — designed to prevent the political bed-hopping
that fostered shaky coalitions — may also come under scrutiny
by unhappy factions within Thaksin's party.
"There will be a nasty war during the political reform
process as a lot of politicians want to change this 90-day
rule," the Nation newspaper said.
– June 9 is a date that looms large in Thailand.
Thaksin cited King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 60th anniversary on
the throne as the main reason for stepping aside ahead of
celebrations to be attended by royalty from around the world.
"I ask every party, whether you love or hate me, to please
think of the core of the country. The king," Thaksin said in
urging Thais to reunite.
But by playing the "royal card," he put the ball in the
opposition court to match the gesture to end the crisis before
the royal anniversary.
"The king has been used as a reason for compromise and to
restore stability," said Bob Broadfoot of Political and
Economic Risk Consultancy.
"To me it implies that if they are not really careful, the
opposition can overplay their hand because they are no longer
going against Thaksin, they are going against the king."
– Thaksin is down, but not out yet.
From his post as party leader, analysts say Thaksin is
likely to wield power through a puppet successor, widely
expected to be either Bhokin or Commerce Minister Somkid
"Government policy will remain the same under his guidance,
and as head of the ruling party, he could exercise
continued large scale authority, particularly if planned
reforms to weaken the powers of the prime minister come to
fruition," said Elizabeth Mills of Global Insight.
Other analysts say a key challenge will be holding together
a political juggernaut that won the biggest majorities in Thai
"If they didn't have this 90-day rule, lots of people would
have quit," said Christopher Bruton of Dataconsult Ltd.
"I'm sure we are going to see a lot of back-door
negotiations in the coming weeks. Thai politics is very
factional and its quite unnatural for a party like Thai Rak
Thai to hold together in this way."

Brands seek closer consumer ties through modes of interaction
PRO Trend Implications - With the conveniences of modern technology, consumers are becoming increasingly impatient and easily distracted, prompting retailers to look beyond exterior aesthetics to create an impression. In an effort to build ties with consumers, companies are turning to product designs that require participation, prompting individuals to become more deeply invested. Packaging that encourages user input or customization allow consumers to connect with products on a more interactive level, reflecting a turn towards more personally engaging marketing tactics.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Going down that old Tobacco Road to explore weighty issues of religion, self-worth, history, and socioeconomics, all under the framework of the Southern-to-Northern migration experience, it would seem that Seattle duo Common Market have laid down a heavy path to tread. Thankfully they've got the skills to pull it off—enough to carry 18 songs' worth of complex and subtle emotions and politics over soaring and undeniably dope soundscapes. Call it hip hop as medicine, with enough sugar to get the tough stuff to go down real easy.
Lyrically, RA Scion focuses his sober and critical eye on any number of relevant subjects, almost always leaving us with something fresh and thought-provoking (rather than the indie/conscious soup de jour of paternalistic didacticism masquerading as "edutainment"). Yes, he's been sincerely working on bettering himself and society, and yes, he'd like your help in making those changes, but he's not trying to hate on anyone who's not with the whole activist thing (although converts are always welcome). The density of subject matter is ignited by Scion's versatile flows, recalling AZ in its multi-layered and deceptively smooth mathematics.
The battle over beats or rhymes is a tough call on "Road." Sabzi (of another Seattle duo, Blue Scholars) has crafted thick slabs of funk/jazz/soul-drenched anthems, using a seemingly limitless arsenal of piano loops, warm bass lines, and dusted drums. Point blank, there's not an underwhelming beat on the record. Together they both sound eager as hell—consciously and humbly urgent, relevant, and substantive. Tobacco Road rivals anything out this year in its bid for official soundtrack to the upcoming revolution.

Eaton fourth in 400 hurdles at Mt SAC Relays
WALNUT, Calif. (AP) — Ashton Eaton learned the hard way that experience often trumps talent and athleticism.
The reigning Olympic Gold medalist and current world record holder in the decathlon competed in the 400-meter hurdles for the first time in his life at the Mount SAC Relays on Saturday and finished fourth in 50.01 seconds.
"I had no expectations," Eaton said. "It was very interesting. It was different. When I wanted to make moves like I would have in the 400 (meters) a hurdle would come so I'd slow down."
Eaton declared his intention to compete in the 400 hurdles last fall, but said he never practiced the event leading up to Mt. SAC.
"This was the first time. I did 300 meters in practice once," he said. "I still train as a decathlete, but sometimes I just throw hurdles in front of my workouts I guess."
Jeshua Anderson won the race in 49.43. When he crossed the finish line, Eaton simply smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"We wanted to try it and Mt. SAC was kind enough to let us try it here, so now we see where we go," Eaton said. "I feel confident that I can compete. If I get my steps down I think I'll be pretty good to go.
"I don't think there's any reason I wouldn't be able to run 48 now after doing the race. Beforehand I had no idea, but now I think 48 is possible."
While Eaton was the headliner of the 56th annual daylong event, Oregon senior Phyllis Francis stole the show.
Francis defeated Olympic medalists DeeDee Trotter and Lashinda Demus in the 400 earlier in the day, claiming the Elite Invitational title in 51.57.
"I was just shaking at the line," she said. "Trotter said something and I was like 'Oh my gosh she said something to me.' I think it was 'Good luck'."
The nerves clearly dissipated as soon as the gun went off.
Francis started slow but recovered to overtake Trotter in the final 100 meters and crossed the finish line 0.85 seconds ahead of Trotter.
"I'm just taking it in very slowly, I'm very humbled by it," she said. "It was an honor to run in the same heat as them. I watched them on TV and rooted for them, so it was great to be next to them and compete with them."
Demus, who won a silver medal in the 400 hurdles at the 2012 Olympics, finished fourth in 52.82.
"This is going towards training in my race, the 400 hurdles," she said. "I did as best I could in lane one. It's tough running behind everyone, but it's all a part of training."
Francis' victory came on what quickly turned into a banner day for Oregon. She also ran a leg on the Ducks' 4x100 team won in a world-leading time of 43.31.
Francis teamed up with Marybeth Sant, Jenna Prandini and Jasmine Todd to lead the Ducks to the title in a field that included two professional teams and Nigeria's national team.

I've written a webservice to track clicks on my site. The links simply call the Clicked javascript funtion which calls my webservice. Everything works great except that I get the error below in FF (IE works fine) which causes OnComplete to not be fired. There are stacks of references on the web to this but I'm a complete newbie to AJAX and I'm losing my hair! Any ideas please.

This error generally indicates no connection with server.
Assuming your service is on your local host the error might be something else.
What is needed is that you put your web method declaration on this forum as well so we can assist you

Here is my webmethod. It works absolutely great (in both IE and FF) in that it updates my database. It returns correctly in IE if I put an alert into the oncomplete function however the error occurs in Firefox.
I've just put the code live and its still displaying the error for Firefox in firebug. Don't need it to return anything but even with a standard sub it displays the error.

It seems the code that read the status code is encapsulated in the Microsoft Script Library, may be you have to not register the onError handler if the browser is Firefox.
For instance:
function Clicked(arg)
var ret;
if( ! browser is firefox)
ret = MyWebService.Clicked(arg, OnComplete, OnTimeOut, OnError);
ret = MyWebService.Clicked(arg, OnComplete, OnTimeOut);
Jul 19, 2007 09:59 AM|KowDot|LINK
Thanks All-Star, it works great locally and now fires the OnComplete function in firefox but doesn't work on the live site ... I'll have a think.
function Clicked(arg)
var ret;
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")!=-1)
ret = MyWebService.Clicked(arg, OnComplete, OnTimeOut, OnError);
ret = MyWebService.Clicked(arg, OnComplete, OnTimeOut);
Aug 22, 2007 11:58 AM|KowDot|LINK
Still no joy with this, think it's a firefox bug? Any ideas please. This post has had 5000+ views so must be a common problem.
I'm also getting the following error occasionally:
An unhandled error was caught by Application_Error in /categories/MyService.asmx/js
System.InvalidOperationException: No web service found at: /categories/MyService.asmx.

Even though I've got the following, i.e. the service is not located in the categories folder: I'm doing some url rewriting so I'm guessing that is the problem.

I have the same problem and I find the solution whit debug bar and IE debugger.
My problem was:
initialize: function(options)
this.nomeForm = 'ricercaForm';
setOptions: function(options) {
this.options = {
contextPath: window.contextPath,
alertRemove: "Confermare cancellazione?",
Object.extend(this.options, options || {});
the problem is in a js and is the comma,I delete it and all ok!

Have the same problem. I've done some googling and found really simple solution: call web service using setTimeout!
like this one:
function OnComplete(result, eventArgs)
function OnError(arg)
function OnMediaUploaded(sender, args)
setTimeout('CallbackFunctions.MyTestFunction(\'Parameter\', OnComplete, OnError)', 100);
enjoy :)

I ran into this today too. I wasted entirely too much time on it, and in the end this is what it turned out to be for me:
If you are driving the action off of a asp:button OnClientClick event, the button is getting rendered as an input of type SUBMIT, which causes the button to do a POST. However the asynch callback is doing a GET to get the readystatus. If the POST isn't finished yet the readystate GET is blocked / can't complete. IE eats the error / is less sensitive to it, FF throws NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE.
To fix, drive the asynch request from an HTML input of type BUTTON on its onclick event instead so that you perform two GETS instead of a POST and a GET; this should fix your problem (assuming that a submit is the cause).

Forza Horizon 1000 Club Official Trailer
Here's your first peek at Forza Horizon's latest expansion, the 1000 Club.
by Mike Tao on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Quite a few people seem to think this is an entirely new game. The marketing for Forza Horizon must've been quite ineffective. If you're into more casual racing games this is actually a really good game.
Nahh, ill play forza 2 lmao
Slapt together Xbox exclusive YAY Loved the gears slapt and now this... YUPPEEE!!! JUST $49 FOR THE SEASON PASS!!!
Looks like NFS. Bad, very bad.
Newcomers : don't buy this crap. Go buy Forza 4, or wait for next gen Forza 5.
Another racing game where somebody 'hip' talks to you with distortion?
Im still hurt that this is what turn 10 gave up on forza 4 for. F4 was the greatest racing game i have ever played (sans rally modes). i STILL play it instead of this. why turn 10?? WHY!?!?!
Don't know why this game is getting do much hate? It is a great game I love the freedom the graphics are good. The game can be cheesy though. But I prefer it over Forza 4 the campaign is horrible it is actually painful to play and there is no point to it or sense of progression. And the multiplayer yuck! the worst online community in gaming history a bunch of angry stuck up yobbos, who should play alone as they kick everyone out of every lobby.
Looking lame. I don't see the point of the game. I prefer racing to "break objects and jump" games... I don't even call this a racing game at all..
To all my petrol head players who follow me ,don't forget to play this maaaaaaaaaarvelous game who knows one day you can try F1 for real after this coney and challenging racing game .JUST playing with you guys ,you can always search for a barn to find a rusty piece of ssshhhhhhh. T. Sorry just a. Great work of J..................K Dont forget play this game guys maybe they will give you a lepord wrist band. JESUS I can't do anything else Guys to wake up the community for junk like this. Can't save them. To my fellow petrol heads just wait for GRID 2 which isn't anything in breakthrough as a racing game but what the hell. It LOOKS LIKE THE RACING. GENRE IS DEAD OR AT LEAST IT'S WAITNG FOR ITS MESSIAH FOR RESURECTION. TAKE CARE MY FELLOW RACERS SOME DAY WILL COMMENT AGAIN ONCE A GREAT RACING GAME. RISES!
It doesn't seem to be free, the game wanted 5 tokens to unlock it. whatever they are? Anyone else fancy trying? On the map screen hit Y for instant teleport, then it prompts you??? yes after today's patch.
Cool idea. More incentive to drive various cars is always a good thing.
Oh dear, where is this series heading
Will this game ever come out for PC?
I logged in just to say when I go to watch a video on this site, and I get a 30 second ad I leave immediately and go watch it somewhere else.
i still need to buy the rally dlc
LoL...Forza is not the Highest-rated racing franchise of this generation...hahahahaha...
Advertising a game with lies...
i still don't get why this game got the forza branding, it has NOTHING to do with the previous 4 forza games.
Having Fun with Friends
Having Fun with Friends http://youtu.be/L64vaGx_3RI
People saying this is free...M$ throwing in a free season pass worth no where near $49 are they?
Now you guys are hitting a weak spot. Is the most disgraceful game for turn 10 game and the iconic Forza still in circulation, what can I say ? Who the hell gave them the right to do such garbage? Sorry I don't want to write anymore because I am very annoyed from this silliness me and lots of people.Well t hey hope to sell this sh..........t to people who don't have the faintest thing about what a racing game should be. I hope the barn challanges and the bracelet collection still plays in this D.L.C. Enough said. Total nightmare.
Town mater!
Interesting. Is there a version for PC?
is this like a damage control for the NETBOX always on fiasco?
This is how u keep ur fans happy and to continue to support u. EA and others should take note.
Any free stuff is always accepted :)
Must....control.... EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!
Must download since it is FREEE !!!!!.
Wow. Free DLC from MS?! I'm surprised, especially considering the game is very "free-to-play" in style what with the annoying and omnipresent microtransactions. 10,000 credits to fast travel? That only encourages use of 'tokens' to buy cars by draining credits. I mean, wtf?
55 ford? my dad has that truck!
Graphics suck, have you seen Driveclub or Project cars? Trust me, you'll be amazed! ^_^
@fredyellowone Actually this game is not bad, but also not Forza or MFS, It has much more of a Dirt 2/3 vibe, but with open world and road racing. Essentially it's Forza without a pretentious stick up its ass, although they did go a bit too far in the other direction.
Looks like NFS?? Perhaps but definitely MUCH better than NFS craps that come out these days by the Burnout developer. F4 is great for serious racer who wants to stay on the racetrack while Horizon gives you the sense of freedom.
@senjutsu Actually, it's an 'expansion' to a game that does in fact have racing in it.
@VIRKHDgamer Of course not, Microsoft needs to keep some vague reason for people to pay to be advertised at.
@rhazzy They are only going by Metacritic. Lots of game companies do this (pick metacritic or just one gaming site that rates their game higher than others for a few years and use it in advertising).
@WarGod667 Fifa Soccer 2012, Fifa Street. Do I need to say anything else?
Ermm no?
@FarQall Most of Forza's and T10's loyal fans are still playing Forza Motorsport 4, which hasn't received crap since this game came out.
@Keivz_basic LOL I never once felt obligated to buy tokens nor did I. I always had plenty of money, and I eventually went and did all the challenges which are easy.
Or you could actually do the challenges and not pay 10,000 Cr..
@jookiyaya I agree that the game looks pretty ugly at times. But it is probably the best looking open world racing game out there (only slightly better looking than TDU, imo). It's not fair to compare it graphically to non-open world games.
@jookiyaya Driveclub is for PS4, obviously going to look better, and Project Cars is released in November, a year after Horizon. Dumbass
@VeeArSick one loyal forza 4 supporter right here. wouldnt touch horizons crap for nothin.
@VeeArSick i stopped playing horizon and went back to forza 4. forza 4 is the reason i love forza
I'm fairly early in the game. If you want to buy some of the better set of wheels or upgrades, you will run out of money very quickly. I won't be buying tokens but the fact that they and fast travel charges are there in the first place are the problem. You guys probably haven't played TDU, which imo is the better game.
@Cillah187 Believe me, I plan on finishing the game and completing all the challenges. My point, however, still stands.
@shuffles88 @VeeArSick Yep forza 4 is much better. Where are the track packs for Forza, they released hundreds of cars but no new tracks :(
Not really, considering that 10k fro fast travel is a drop in the bucket next to even a poor player's earnings. And besides, if you're fast traveling to the challenges, you're kinda missing the point.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Based on the novel by humorist Dave Barry, the film nominally centers around lovable schlub Eliot (Tim Allen), a divorced dad and ex-Miami Herald larf columnist who finds himself enmeshed in a zany web of events too strenuously arranged to summarize. Suffice it to say that the yuks revolve around a large cast encountering large troubles, sparked by the frequent changing-of-hands of a large suitcase containing one rather small warhead. Which ultimately passes through airport security and lands on a plane. Which is almost shot down by government fighter jets. Which are summoned by FBI agents (Heavy D and Omar Epps) operating under a special executive order that's already allowed them to play a brutal game of bad cop/worse cop with an immigrant arms smuggler. All of which makes for distinctly uneasy viewing, as Big Trouble's massive subtext repeatedly threatens to overwhelm its haphazardly stylized diegesis.
Again, that's the fault of neither Barry, and the unexpectedly strange fruit of their comedic labors boasts several droll pairings, most notably Janeane Garofalo as a no-bullshit policewoman and Patrick Warburton as her hunkish, lunkish partner. But cute intentions and shaggy comedy only get you so far when the world is falling down around you.
High Crimes
Directed by Carl Franklin
Written by Yuri Zeltser & Cary Bickley
20th Century Fox
On the other hand, when life throws you a curveballor your hubby into a military courtthe only thing to do is put on that no-nonsense lipstick and your best power suit and step up to the plate. Secret trials and buried atrocities are no match for a plucky (and rich, and svelte) young heroine, least of all Ms. Ashley Judd, who eyebrow-cocks her way through Carl Franklin's witless High Crimes. Never mind that aforementioned mate Jim Caviezel may well have slaughtered innocents in El Salvador before going AWOL. Never mind that noble hired gun and former military attorney Morgan Freeman is off the wagon again. This gal will not quit. Which is presumably the point: a Lifetime-via-Perry Mason affirmation of brass-balls femininity, as Ms. Judd pursues truth, justice, et cetera, by righteously pissing off numerous Marine Corps bigwigs. High Crimes being as much a cartoon as Big Trouble, such ham-fisted tactics inevitably aid our protag in exculpating the man she loves. And whom she can actually locate after Uncle Sam whisks him off to his tribunal.

Pentagon to Wikileaks: Take them down
The Pentagon is demanding that online whistle-blower WikiLeaks return its trove of tens of thousands of leaked U.S. government documents and delete them from its website and records. The Associated Press reports Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell didn't say what efforts the Defense Department might be able to take to compel Wikileaks to comply. He told a Pentagon press conference that, at this point, the Pentagon is asking Wikileaks "to do the right thing." Wikileaks posted nearly 77,000 classified military and other documents, mostly raw intelligence reports from Afghanistan, on its website July 25.

Former External Affairs minister Natwar Singh calls Congress President Sonia Gandhi a 'prima donna' in his book 'One life is not enough'. He says that her life reminds one of a 'Greek tragedy' and that Gandhi has only herself to blame.
He commends her leadership saying that 'her hold on Congress is total, firmer and more durable than even that of Jawaharlal Nehru'.
However he also says that her negative public image is of her own doing. He says she is 'obsessively secretive and suspicious' and that she has evolved into an 'authoritarian leader.'
Though under her leadership, dissent is smothered, free discussion fenced in'; she is never blamed for party's failures by her 'sycophants', he says in the book.
The tone of his words get harsher as he suggests that she is partial, 'favours are granted piecemeal, lese-majeste is given short shrift'.
Calling her capricious, he also reveals an anecdote where Sonia had demanded that a senior African leader after a long flight to India must move to the hotel of her choice.
'Her capriciousness is lauded', Singh ends by saying that politics has coarsened Sonia Gandhi.

Date: 06/25/2013
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Location: Continuing Education and Conference Center
Cost: $125
This one-day immersion is offered by the College of Continuing Education's LearningLife program.
Bank robbers, kidnappers, hit men, bootleggers, and machine gun-toting mobsters—they all flocked to St. Paul in the 1930s, thanks to the protection of the infamous O'Connor System agreement between the St. Paul Police and criminals across America, which guaranteed public enemies safe haven in the Saintly City.
This immersion will begin with a lively overview of the gangster era in St. Paul presented by the man who knows it best: historian Paul Maccabee whose book, John Dillinger Slept Here, was deemed "one of the bestbooks of local history I have ever read—about any city anywhere on Earth," by Bryan Burrough. (Burrough's Public Enemies was adapted for film by Michael Mann in 2009 and starred Johnny Depp.)
After the presentation, you will embark on a bus tour that highlights the underworld secrets of John Dillinger, Alvin "Creepy" Karpis, Ma Barker, Babyface Nelson, Edna "The Kissing Bandit" Murray, Bugsy Seigel, Machine Gun Zeigler, Frank "The Gentleman Bandit" Nash, and Freddie and Doc Barker of the Barker-Karpis Gang, as well as St. Paul's own Irish Godfather, "Dapper Danny" Hogan. Throughout the day, you'll visit the sites of brothels, crime scenes, speakeasies, and mob hideouts. You'll investigate the kidnappings of William Hamm and Ed Bremer, the Lincoln Court Apartments shootout between Dillinger and the FBI, the killing of Dillinger's machine gunner Homer Van Meter, and the House of Ill Repute run by society Madame Nina Clifford (plus, the tunnels that took Minnesota's wealthiest men to her ladies' doors). Saintly City, indeed!
Tuition includes transportation, meals, and refreshments.
Recommended: Paul Maccabee, John Dillinger Slept Here: A Crooks' Tour of Crime and Corruption in St. Paul. Copies of the book will be available for purchase the day of the event.
Paul Maccabee is a crime historian and investigative reporter who spent 13 years researching his book, John Dillinger Slept Here: A Crooks' Tour of Crime and Corruption in St. Paul, 1920-1936 (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1995). Called "a small masterpiece of social history" by Playboy magazine, Maccabee's book is based on more than 100,000 pages of FBI files and wiretaps, prison and police records, mob confessions, and more than 250 interviews with crime victims, gun molls, policemen, and family members of notorious criminals. Maccabee has testified about his battle with the FBI over long-secret crime files before the U.S. Congress, and has been featured in three A&E TV documentaries about gangsters, as well as on the History Channel's "Crime Wave," and on the Travel Channel's "Off Limits."

San Diego flying machine inventors take a leap of faith
Honoring a hero: Retired Army Col. Rick Rescorla will be posthumously honored at Saturday's Mt. Soledad tribute service to veterans. Rescorla was said to have predicted both a possible parking garage bombing of the World Trade Center, which took place in 1993, and, subsequently, an attack on the complex, which occurred on 9/11.
As head of security at Morgan Stanley in the WTC South Tower, Rescorla was infamous for his fire drills, ordering employees to march down the stairs, time after time. On 9/11, after evacuating nearly all 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees, Rescorla went back up for a final sweep and died when tower collapsed.
His good friend, Daniel J. Hill, will commemorate him in the noon service, as will the head of Morgan Stanley's La Jolla office. Also on hand will be a jagged 778-pound steel beam, one of 236 pieces of steel recovered from the World Trade Center used to study the building's collapse.

Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

In the twenties, Gustav Tenggren had been paid handsomely for his work. At Disney, his position guaranteed steady work. But the wartime economy changed all that. Publishers were no longer able to pay him to work a week or more on a single painting and jobs were scarce. He was forced to simplify his style.
While at Disney, Tenggren chaffed under the bit of anonymity. It's said that Walt instructed his artists, "If you're going to sign a name to your artwork, spell it 'Walt Disney'." But Tenggren defiantly maintained his individuality, signing many of his key paintings for Pinocchio. He left the studio under unhappy circumstances, and was bitter about the whole episode. But he had learned one thing from Walt… the power of branding one's self.
This particular book is amazing, because it shows Tenggen's thought process and refinement gelling into what would become the classic "Golden Book style". (Click on the Three Little Pigs images above for a vivid example.) He simplifies by going back to his roots… combining the character designs of his mentor John Bauer with the colored pencil and watercolor style of his successor on the Bland Tomtar Och Troll series, Einar Norelius. It's fascinating to compare this new streamlined style with the techniques of traditional golden age illustration. See how Tenggren has distilled the essence of the earlier attempts into a clear and simple presentation that still has plenty of beauty and balance.
For inspiration, Tenggen goes all the way back to his roots… the work of his mentor, John Bauer. Here is one of Tenggren's illustrations…
And here is one by Bauer from the Swedish Christmas annual, Bland Tomtar Och Troll…
He also appears to be familiar with the work of his successor on the Bland Tomtar Och Troll series, Einar Norelius. Here is Tenggren…
And here is Norelius…
But halfway through Tenggren's Tell It Again Book comes a huge breakthrough in design. Instead of the full page plates, Tenggren begins to float his characters over the white of the page, wrapping the text around the compositions. Background elements are reduced to small islands on the page, rather than extending out to the edges of a square bounding box. When I first got this book, I wondered why Tenggren had changed format halfway through. Clearly one reason was to save time and streamline the work of producing so many illustrations for a single book. But there was an aesthetic precedent to it as well. The answer has been hanging on my bedroom wall since I was a little boy!
Like Tenggren, my Grandmother was Swedish. In the early 1920s, she took my father to Sweden to visit his Grandparents. It was the only time he was able to meet them, since he lived in Peterborough, Canada, a very long sea voyage away from their farm in Goteborg, Sweden. My great grandparents gave my father a gift to take home with him to remind him of the visit- this Swedish folk art picture…
When I was born, my father gave it to me to hang in my bedroom, and it's been there ever since. Notice the similarity between the forward pitched perspective, the staging of the characters in clear profile silhouettes, and the simple rendering of the figures over the white of the paper on this print and the Tenggren illustrations that follow…
Tenggren had discovered a way to simplify and refine his illustrations even further. Instead of busy backgrounds full of details, he used just enough information to place the characters, and focused his attention on composing the figures. Immediately after publishing this book, Tenggren produced The Poky Little Puppy, the book that was the model for the hundreds of Little Golden Books that followed over the next seventy years. By going back to his roots and synthesizing his Swedish cultural upbringing, Tenggren invented a style that now seems to us to be quintessentially American.
This is a perfect example of how immigrant artists of all kinds suited their artistic voice to their new lives in the United States in the first half of the 20th century. Carlo Vinci's Italian heritage resulted in a superhero mouse who sang opera. Bill Tytla's Eastern European roots helped him summon a devil in Fantasia. And Milt Gross' Jewish upbringing expressed itself in comic celebrations of the ethnic vitality of New York City.
The melting pot of American culture sure is rich with cartoons!

There often seems to be a disconnect between the illustrators Walt Disney hired to do inspirational artwork for his films and the designs he actually ended up using. On Snow White, Disney hired the amazing painter, Gustaf Tenggren; but his instructions to him were to paint in the style of Arthur Rackham. For Peter Pan, he hired the illustrator David Hall, but the film itself doesn't resemble his work at all. Instead, it's actually closer to being a "Disneyfication" of Mabel Lucie Attwell's illustrations for the 1921 edition of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan & Wendy.
Attwell was born in 1879 and received some education at the Regent School of Art and Heatherley's School of Art in London, but she grew bored with her academic studies and dropped out to focus on her own interests… painting cherubic children and fairies. Her work wasn't very warmly received at first by galleries and agents, but when her first batch of paintings sold out in three days, they became much more enthusiastic. Attwell illustrated greeting cards and children's books, the most famous of which we are featuring today, Peter Pan & Wendy.
Disney didn't appropriate Attwell's baby faced characters, but he did use some of the same details of costume and setting, and placed the emphasis of his visual storytelling on many of the same elements. Attwell's designs lean a bit too heavily on formula, but there is a distinctive delicate appeal to her style. Enjoy.

Hell (and Back): Where Pettibon takes you. Though his work has grown more thoughtful of late, Pettibon's view of the world is often apocalyptic, angry, or grim. He looks at sin, shame, and degradation with an arch eye. Skepticism is his middle name.
Installation: Collector-driven. I've never seen a show chosen and installed according to who owns the work. There are no dates given, no chronology, so there's no sense of development. It turns Pettibon into a private club. However, it is a unique way to organize an artist who has produced more than 7000 drawings, and it avoids eye-numbing sprawl. Plus, on the cool side, you get a fly's-eye view into certain collectors and museums. You can see who likes what, and who has the best eye. Here, individuals beat museums by far.
Juggernaut of Voices: Pettibon's language comes in waves, in multiple styles and syntaxes; in curses, quips, fragments, and asides. In a single work, Pettibon might speak with the voice of God, of the artist, of someone telling a story, and someone commenting on that story. He uses every tense and idiom. He speaks in genres.
Every genre is a worldview, a way of thinking, be it detective story, romance novel, mathematical treatise, poem, play, or baseball card. Some of these tongues sound anachronistic, some contemporary; some are passing trends, or schools of speech, but they all carry memory and wisdom. Pettibon sees them all as unfinished and open; he combines these blocks of speech to create a kind of rogue genre, or a harmony of genres a new blood type of language. He supplies the body, which is drawing, then he gets in your head.

Emptying my Trash in OS X Lion (non securely) is taking about three hours (about 1.5 million files, from a Time Machine backup). I had to stop the process a few times already, because I could not move my laptop with the external harddrive the files are on. This is also a problem because the Trash emptying is restarted from the very beginning each time I empty the Trash again (i.e., files are not deleted when the Trash emptying is aborted).
I read that it is faster to use
rm -rf on
~/.Trash, in this case. However, is this safe? (I am afraid that does OS X Lion performs tasks behind the scenes—which would explain its slowness—that
rm -r does not, which could lead to problems in the future.)

Etude Heirloom Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir from Carneros, California
Winemaker's Notes
The Heirloom 2008 in the glass reveals a dark ruby hue with a deep saturation and vibrancy. Aromas of dark cherry and berry fruit are complimented by spicebox components of cardamom, gingerbread, nutmeg and a hint of licorice. Flavors of concentrated and focused dark berry fruit are lifted by vibrant acidity and youthful notes, which build dimension and complexity with bottle age. Additionally, fine, plush tannins and minerality make this a hallmark vintage of Heirloom.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2008 Pinot Noir Heirloom was bottled with no fining or filtration (as were most of its siblings). Made from old Pinot Noir selections (hence the name), it displays a deep ruby/purple color along with sweet aromas of blueberries, boysenberries, blackberries, forest flora and Asian spices. This full-bodied, lush, complete Pinot should drink nicely for 7-10 years. "
Etude Winery
The underlying philosophy at Etude Wines is that winemaking begins in the vineyard, long before the grapes are harvested. Winemaker, Jon Priest, believes that superior grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker, resulting in authentic varietal expression. View all Etude Wines
About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

I make this but i find also on internet one iphone 5c mockup what is look same like mine. What can I do? should I send?sorry my english….
Guys, it's not a job request
If you made the same files earlier and you are ready to prove that, then you should send a DMCA notice or at least contact author of that mockup. It may be tricky tho, cause there are hundreds of iPhone mockups and sooner or later someone will make exactly the same looking one.
Anyway if you feel you need to do something about it, take action right away.
EDIT: Shame on me. You are trying to send such mockup to GraphicRiver, right? Then do so, but be prepared that one day you may have the situation described above.

05 June 2013 23:35 [Source: ICIS news]
MEDELLIN, Colombia (ICIS)--Argentina's Supreme Court has revoked a freeze on up to $19bn (€14bn) worth of assets held by Chevron's subsidiary company in Argentina, the country's Judicial Information Centre (ICJ) said on Wednesday.
Argentine judge Adrian Elcuj Miranda froze Chevron's Argentine assets last year following a February 2011 verdict by an Ecuadorian judge that found the company guilty of dumping billions of gallons of toxic waste into the Ecuadorian Amazon.
The Ecuadorian court ordered Chevron to pay $18.2bn – later increased to $19bn – in compensation and clear-up costs. Chevron has since vehemently contested the verdict.
At the time, Miranda cited an international treaty signed by Argentina and Ecuador as the basis for his decision.
In a five-page ruling, made available by the ICJ, the country's Supreme Court agreed to lift the freeze, stating that Chevron's Argentine subsidiary should be treated as a separate entity to its parent company.
The plaintiffs suffered a similar setback in May after an Ontario judge dismissed a lawsuit to have the $19bn judgement enforced in Canada.
The Supreme Court's ruling means the US oil giant can press ahead with a $1.5bn deal struck with Argentina's state-run oil company YPF to explore the Vaca Muerta shale formation in Neuquen, in western Argentina.
According to a statement by YPF in May, Chevron agreed to invest in the Loma La Lata Norte and Loma Campana areas of Vaca Muerta.
The definitive agreement between the two parties will be signed off next month, YPF said.
Argentina is thought to have the world's third largest shale gas reserves after the US and China, with an estimated 774,000 billion cubic feet (bcf) of recoverable gas, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
YPF is keen to partner with companies to develop this potential and by doing so reduce the country's dependence on imported fuels.
However, following the expropriation of YPF from Spanish firm Repsol in 2012, potential partners have been cautious.
In March, YPF signed a memorandum of understanding with the Argentine subsidiary of petrochemical major Dow Chemical to develop the country's shale reserves.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Argentine company and Dow would also work to identify new petrochemical projects, YPF said at the time.
