Beyonce: 'I Always Said I Would Have a Baby at 30'
Filed under: Celeb News & Interviews
The singer, 29, hits the big 3-0 in September, which has her fans speculating whether she's making plans for a baby with her hubby, Jay-Z.
"I always said I would have a baby at 30," Beyonce tells Piers Morgan on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight." "I'm 29. But I also said I was gonna retire at 30, so I don't know. Who knows? I'm not retiring."
When Morgan asks if we can expect a baby from the power couple soon, she relies, "Only God knows."
We think a baby would make her crazy in love, don't you?

Deadly chemical leak at Samsung plant in S. Korea
More News from Agence France-Presse
SEOUL—A toxic chemical leak at a Samsung Electronics chipmaking plant in South Korea left one worker dead and four injured, the company said Tuesday.
The five repair workers were called in Sunday night to stop the leak of diluted hydrofluoric acid at the plant in the city of Hwaseong, 43 kilometres (26 miles) southwest of Seoul, a Samsung spokesman told AFP.
One was taken to hospital Monday with pains in his throat and chest but died hours later. The remaining four were also treated in hospital but released, the spokesman said.
The leak involved about two to three liters of acid and was contained early Monday morning, he said.
The acid is an acute poison that can damage lungs and bones and affect the nervous system, as well as burn the skin.
"The situation has been contained and Samsung will be investigating the circumstances of this unfortunate incident," the company said in a statement, offering its "deepest condolences" to the dead man's family.
Samsung is the world's top maker of smartphones, memory chips and flat-panel TVs.

In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico.

Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again. Riggen's film is not only a heartwarming family story; she also offers subtle commentary on the much-debated issue of illegal immigration.

Years ago, the road to Whistler was a white-knuckle drive. The narrow, two-lane road clung to cliffs, squeezed around blind curves and dropped off sheerly to the sea. And that was just the first half of the 85-mile route from Vancouver, British Columbia, to the Whistler ski resort. The second part, from Squamish to Whistler, was a paved version of a logging road, twisting and clambering through tangled forests and mountains.
Fast forward: Highway 99, also called the Sea to Sky Highway, now is an easy and gloriously scenic drive, thanks to hundreds of millions of dollars in improvements. It was blasted straighter and wider – with many four-lane sections – in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics that were held in Whistler and Vancouver. What hasn't changed along the road are the jaw-dropping views of craggy peaks, Howe Sound inlet and forest wilderness.
You could zip from Vancouver to Whistler in 90 minutes. But why? Instead, stop along the highway to savor the views, see waterfalls, take a walk or explore a mining museum. And don't miss the roadside kiosks and cultural center in Whistler that showcase the native peoples for whom the region has been home for thousands of years; even road signs are now in aboriginal languages as well as English.
Whether you're going for spring skiing (until late May) or planning a summer getaway with mountain biking, golf and zip lines, take along this guide to roadside stops from Horseshoe Bay, the southern starting point of the Sea to Sky Highway, to Whistler.
First Nations kiosks: Get some culture along with scenery by stopping at some of the seven kiosks in pullouts along the highway. They tell of the mythology and everyday life of two native groups, the Squamish and Lil'wat tribes. Each kiosk has illustrated panels on tribal history and mythology tucked under a distinctive roof shaped like a traditional, woven cedar-bark hat. The cultural drive culminates in Whistler at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre, a don't-miss small museum. See slcc.ca for details on the highway kiosks and museum.
Porteau Cove Provincial Park: Want to stretch your legs? Porteau Cove Provincial Park, just off the highway, gives views of the shimmering waters and fiordlike Howe Sound where, say Squamish myths, the fearsome two-headed serpent Say-noth-ka roamed.
Stroll the waterfront or picnic in the 123-acre park. Watch scuba divers head out to explore two sunken ships just offshore. More information: env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks (click on Find a Park).
Britannia Mine Museum: Looming beside the highway is the historic mill building, part of what was a very productive (and polluting) copper mine that operated from the early 1900s into the 1970s. The 20-story-tall mill is part of the recently renovated Britannia Mine Museum, with interactive exhibits, gold-panning and a ride through a mining tunnel, with visitors donning hard hats to go deep underground in an open-sided mine train.
Shannon Falls: Not just another roadside attraction ... this don't-miss waterfall tumbles almost 1,000 feet down massive cliffs. Once privately owned, with its water used for making beer, the waterfall now is protected within Shannon Falls Provincial Park.
The waterfall can be seen from the highway. But park your car and take an easy 10-minute walk through the thick forest of hemlock, fir and cedar to the base of the falls where water thunders into a pool, misting the air. See env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks (click on Find a Park).
Stawamus Chief: From the comfort of your car you can spot rock climbers toiling up the sheer, 2,300-foot face of Stawamus Chief, a world-class climbing destination just off the highway. Or park in a viewing area at the base of the massive granite monolith for a closer look.(The hardy can hike a steep trail up the back of Stawamus Chief for dizzying views from the top.)
Tantalus viewpoint: If you stop at only one of the First Nations kiosks along the highway, make it the Tantalus viewpoint (for driving safety, stop there when heading south from Whistler since it's on the other side of the highway). Perched at about 1,000 feet, the viewpoint looks across a deep valley to the jagged peaks of the rugged Tantalus range. Learn about Squamish history and leaders on the kiosk's panels.
Garibaldi Lake: Have a day to spare and love to hike? A trailhead by the highway is the stepping-off point (once the snow melts) for one of my favorite hikes, a 5.5-mile trek to Garibaldi Lake.
The 3.5-mile-long alpine lake, within the sprawling wilderness of the 481,000-acre Garabaldi Provincial Park, is ringed by glacier-draped peaks and Black Tusk, the dramatic basalt core of an eroded volcano that thrusts above the landscape like a giant, dark chimney.
In the Squamish language, Black Tusk is called t'ak't'ak mu'yin tl'a in7in'a'xe7en – "the landing place of the Thunderbird," a supernatural creature said to have squeezed the rock into a pinnacle shape with its giant talons.

The Ariadne Project
When a long term relationship disintegrates, the former partners lose not just a lifelong friend, a home, or the kids. The sense of loss can erode your sense of identity and make your shared history too hard to bear. Grief packs a powerful punch.
This program is the outcome of the Ariadne project—where you, the listener, contributed your short stories and anecdotes about divorce and separation. Heart rending and very moving, but also subtly nuanced and optimistic writing came in from all over the country and you can find all the contributions here, as well as a showcase of selected material.
Through your fragments and memories—and using the 4,000-year-old mythic relationship of the Greek princess Ariadne and her lover Theseus as our guide—we explores the cycle of love and heartbreak human beings endure...and find it was ever thus.
But also, it is possible to recover and return to the land of the living.
Readings by Tony Osborne, Natalie Kestecher and Malina Mackiewicz.

360 Documentaries: "The Ariadne Project" Sunday 26th Feb 2012
We thought the topic of today's programme was very interesting but, when listening, the background sound effects of various types were far too loud and intruded on top of all the speaking voices making it very difficult to hear. Regrettably and in frustration, we had to switch off the programme. Why is it necessary to have such sound effects?

Here here to that! It was ridiculous and really spoilt a very interesting topic.

Once again RN had me captivated. I loved the listener contributions & marveled at the sage explanation about why we are so captivated by the notion of a soul partner. Such a bitter sweet folly & yet so common among us meer mortals.

comments: What a brilliant documentary
sound effects too loud early on - I simply couldnt hear although oboe is lovely
love your exploration of Ariadne and Theseus -ARIADNE WINS- I have to listen again to work out that part
Loss of innocence cruel abandonment and deepest despair destined to be relived unless the resentment is released
Was Ariadne really Sleeping? or smashed up? on the shores between life and death -We can experience a
neverending smashed up ness - the eternal tragic figure
this may also be the battered wife motif-
love the fluid open healing approach -there are always other stories - always other stories and interpretations
Theseus' narcissism may never be erased
Theseus like many hypermachos can carry on forgetful at best and or resentful -or violently reactionary blaming -mapping out new misogyny dynamics and forms of torture truth is truth
LOVE this doco
Thank you

listening to this documentary was both enlightening and validating for me. have been making my way through grief for a year now and programs like this are so valuable on a personal level but also on a societal level to help normalise the breakup experience and ease those gutwrenching feelings of isolation. Fully applaud ABC for giving a real version of the breakup experience. Would very much love to see/hear more of this type of program than the usual melodramatic versions presented in the media.

Re Ariadne and Theseus
I understand that you wish to use the myth as a way of opening up some really valid and often unrealised points about relating and breakups. The way however you wove your version of the myth through the programme was distracting and not always clarifying to your points.
More than that however I found your speaking to the myth inaccurate and very coloured by a modern assumption of eg young girls attitudes (ie Ariadne). If you look at the roots of the story you see that it is based in Crete just at the end of its empire time. The story with Theseus is a tale of the changeover .. before the Greeks were truly Greek or in the ascendant... and they were still a scattered bunch of tribes. It was NOT the age of heroes.. that was later. You failed to mention that Crete was a matriliny and that Ariadne was indeed a moon priestess (no wonder she could call on that power).
I also understand you are dealing with versions of the story that are overlaid, perhaps like shakespeare with political need to appease the current rulers. I just missed any mention of the deep roots to this story or of the advent of patriarchy (about then) and feel you not only missed an opportunity but confused the main points of your programme which could have done more to elucidate relationship and breakup.
And I hope you read your Robert Graves who has done so much to open the box of the underpinnings and where our tales come from
with thanks
Moderator: Thank you for your comments. The thing about myths is we can use different aspects of them according to context. The classicists, Marguerite Johnson and Judith Maitland point out myths remain relevant because the stories are timeless – they are up for reinterpretation. The myths, as they were retold across centuries, changed, even during ancient times - including during the time of the heros. On Naxos it is believed there were two Ariadne's - one a mere mortal princess - the other, as you say, a goddess.
And you're with Judith Maitland, whose primary reading of the myths was political and about power. I chose to leave that aspect aside precisely because I wanted to focus entirely on the psychological impact of breakup, as we always hear about divorce in terms of power - mostly about the division of the spoils - and often couched in gender political terms. That said, I really hope I can find a way to examine politics, power - and the Bull - in Greek mythology at some point!

After listening several times to this documentary, I have to say I found the entire experience very fulfilling. In contrast to some of the other comments here, I felt a perfect balance of sound effects, music and text. It created a new way of learning and added an artistic depth to its content. This documentary became an experience that left me wanting more like this. Congratulations to all involved.

Dungeon Family
Even in Darkness
Still, you have to sympathize for the dozen Dungeon Family members who aren't named Big Boi or Andre 3000. It must be hard to stay focused in the recording booth after you've heard Big Boi proclaim himself "cleaner than the urine of a two-time felon." In all fairness, it should be noted that Andre 3000's new vocal style was probably inspired by Cee-Lo's sing-rapping. But that's small consolation when the two go toe-to-toe. On "Crooked Booty," Cee-Lo builds to a thrilling gospel crescendo: "Best believe I'm a breathe and break bread before I die/I know it's live and let live but my Lord won't let me lie." So what does Andre 3000 do? He comes in like a fresh breeze on a funky track, adding a mischievous chorus: "We don't speak proper English, when we walk we strut our stuff/ We act like life is gravy, even though it's oh-so-rough." It's a kind of good-natured bad faith, a winking defense of craft and craftinessthe important word here is "act." Cee-Lo's joyful noise is compelling, but OutKast's neat illogic is irresistible. Why shouldn't the dirty, filthy, nasty Dirty South have the cleanest rhymes on the planet?

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst: Carson Palmer a 'huge addition' to Arizona Cardinals
Who is Carson Palmer?
Is he a former Heisman Trophy winner and number one overall draft pick who just needed to be in a quality environment to succeed, or is he a washed up 33-year-old whose arm strength isn't what it once was?
The Cardinals are banking on him being the first option, and ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski tends to agree.
"I view him very highly," Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday. "He got lost in the Black Hole. Oakland is an absolute mess; he had no chance, whatsoever.
Jaworski noted that Palmer spent more playing from behind last year than any QB in the league, which certainly did not help the passer succeed.
But even with that, Palmer still completed 61.1 percent of his passes for more than 4,000 yards with 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Though the Raiders went 4-11 with him as a starter, many believe the team's struggles were not the quarterback's fault.
"It's difficult to compete at a high level when you're always playing uphill," Jaworski said. "Carson Palmer still has a tremendous skill-set, and I know Bruce wants to get the ball down the field. He doesn't like that dink-and-dunk type stuff.
"So he's got the guy that can still throw the ball with accuracy down the field, has a good, quick release."
Acquired for practically nothing in the offseason, the Cardinals are hoping the veteran will rediscover what made him successful in Cincinnati playing alongside skill position talents like Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd, Andre Roberts and Rob Housler.
Jaworski thinks he will, and that those pass catchers will be very happy with the guy tasked with getting them the ball.
"These guys will get the football, they will get it accurately, they will be able to run after the catch," he said. "Carson Palmer is a huge addition to this team."

feel totally uncomfortable at first, but trust him,
If they are best friends with their ex, that means I knew it when we got involved... and I'd be fine with it.
I AM that guy. Believe me, my wife's got nothing to worry about. There's a whole bunch of good reasons we're no longer a couple. If I decided to screw around, it wouldn't be with my ex.
Get to know the girl, and make sure I communicated any feelings of insecurity or uncomfortableness with my boyfriend. Honesty is key. :)
Everybody is everybody's ex-boy-girl-friend in a small town. My country is loaded with these scenarios.
Make your feelings/ thoughts known to him...Though personally I don't think it would be ideal to stay with him when his bf is his ex!

My Kikay has truly gone 'kikay'
"Sosyal naman ng asPin mo!" That was the general reaction when friends and family learned I was taking my three-year-old dog, an asPin named Kikay, on a weekend "staycation" in one of Manila's poshest luxury serviced apartments.
Indeed, Kikay has come a long way from the insecure, mangy mutt we found on the street in May 2009, so it was only fitting that she experience more of the good life.
I've been on staycations— that's how we call quick getaway weekends in luxury hotels right in the middle of the city, when you want to disappear for some pampering without the hassle of serious travel. But the prospect of actually bringing my baby with me was enough to get me all excited.
That, and other indulgences that come with five-star service, like in-room dining, plush beds, and my personal favorite—a bathroom that just begs you to soak in the tub. I mean, who has the time in daily life?
It all started when Look Magazine, Inquirer's glossy fashion and beauty mag, shot a fabulous spread of gorgeous women and their beloved dogs for our July-August issue, now out at selected magazine outlets. (The pictures have since gone viral on Facebook!)
When the magazine staff learned that Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostalg Center Manila, part of Oakwood Asia-Pacific and Oakwood Worldwide, the largest chain of luxury serviced apartments in the world, was genuinely pet-friendly, we jumped at the chance to shoot there.
"Why not bring Kikay here for a weekend?" invited Oakwood Manila's PR and marketing communications manager Jose "Ouie" Badelles, himself a true-blue dog person—his best friend Stitch is an eight-year-old pug.
The fact that our canine feature subjects were as fabulously behaved as their mistresses was added encouragement.
Ouie has much to show off, anyway. Aside from a new downloadable app loaded with info on the property's neighborhood, and an ongoing "Burgers of the World" food festival at the elegant Oakroom (until September 15) by executive chef Jerome Cartailler that has had carnivores flipping, Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostalg was recently awarded a 2012 Certificate of Excellence by Trip Advisor, the hugely popular, tell-it-like-it-is international online travel resource where travelers go for honest advice.
Fine print
That's how Kikay and I ended up checking in one rainy afternoon into a gorgeous one-bedroom apartment with a view of Ortigas Center.
Dogs, cats, and fish are allowed here, but to be sure, the rules of responsible pet ownership apply, so go through the fine print of the pet agreement that you must sign.
There's a limit to the number of animals you can bring in, as well as the size; no dog over 75 lbs is allowed, so you have to leave the Great Danes at home. A deposit and a cleaning/disinfecting fee are required in case your pet trashes the place like a rock star, and yes, you will be accountable in case he or she makes too much noise or soils the carpet.
You'll need your pet's vaccination certificate, and a picture in case you're dumb enough to lose your animal and the staff has to help you search. (Face it—losing a pet is almost always the fault of the owner, really.)
Ouie reveals that longer-staying guests who bring their animals are quite enlightened and conscientious about taking the dog out for a potty walk along the many bushes around the Ortigas area. Kikay and I immediately found an empty, grassy parking lot right across the building, and yes, she was on a leash at all times outside the room, and we picked up after her and disposed of her litter properly.
Pets are allowed to pass through the lobby, but not in other public areas, so it's really all about cocooning with your animal. Now, Oakwood wants to tap into the local market of weekenders who want to bring their families and pets along.
The room was spacious enough for us to play fetch with Kikay's toys. I recommend the private, in-room dining so you don't have to leave your baby, and the dishes come in humungous portions to share (with another person, or, okay, your dog—hey, Kikay was on vacation, too).
Noteworthy are menu items that are marked as "healthy fare, minimally processed to retain high nutritive value."
I had time to surf the net, do some work, and practice some yoga in the spacious apartment while Kikay dozed off on the couch after casing the joint. There's a gorgeous pool upstairs in case you want to leave your pet and duck out for a swim, though.
Heating dog food
The fully-equipped kitchen is big enough for you to cook anything, which, in my case, was limited to heating dog food in the microwave oven. I did take a peek at the popular Sunday Bubblicious Brunch Buffet, with its live cooking station, great array of food, and, yipee, glass of bubbly—how's that for a happy Sunday?
I also highly recommend an in-room massage courtesy of Oakwood's Paradasia Royale Spa. Masseuse Cleofe came in and gave me a great hilot, complete with heated coconut oil.
Because Kikay tends to get protective when somebody approaches me, I had to lock her out of the bedroom temporarily, until she got used to the new person.
Fortunately, the pet-friendliness is internalized; the Oakwood staff know your animal by name, and they kept a respectful distance until Kikay had relaxed, which is exactly how you are supposed to approach an animal you don't know.
Really, though, a staycation is about "me" time—watching mindless TV, taking long baths, and catching up on much-needed rest. Having a loving, cuddly companion along was a delightful bonus. By the time our stay was over, Kikay was sleeping more than I was.
Author and animal lover Jon Katz wrote that, since our pets have such short lives, we have to fill their time on earth with "perfect days" that celebrate the bond we share with them.
Every time I heard Kikay sigh in utter contentment, buried with me under the sheets of our comfy bed, I knew I had added to what I hope to be her lifetime of perfect days.

FEMA 508-1_Typed Resource Definitions Animal Health Resources_2005
Main Content
Resource typing is the categorization and description of resources that are commonly exchanged in disasters via mutual aid, by capacity and/or capability. Through resource typing, disciplines examine resources and identify the capabilities of a resource's components (i.e., personnel, equipment, training). During a disaster, an emergency manager knows what capability a resource needs to have to respond efficiently and effectively. Resource typing definitions will help define resource capabilities for ease of ordering and mobilization during a disaster. As a result of the resource typing process, a resource's capability is readily defined and an emergency manager is able to effectively and efficiently request and receive resources through mutual aid during times of disaster.

What A FindAll the Dove products for sensitive skin are some of the few I can use without reservation.

I used to have a sensitive red rash on my cheeks, and since switching to this product it has completely cleared up. I am so glad I tried it.

I have seen Blake in Bracknell, Berkshire. They have beautiful voices - could have watched and listened to them all night. A mixture of modern and some opera. I believe they would appeal to everybody, can't wait to see them again. Linda from Bracknell

Three days after the monsoon's onset over south Karnataka, the system made its way northwards covering the entire coast and almost all of south interior Karnataka, including Bangalore, on Monday.
Only the 10 districts of north interior Karnataka remain to be covered by the system, according to the Met bulletin, which adds that it could take two to three days before the monsoon advances here. While the monsoon is associated with heavy rainfall in the three coastal districts which receive a total of 3083.5 mm over the four monsoon months, it very "rarely" brings a massive downpour to the interiors, said Met director B Puttanna.
On Monday, Kundapur in Udupi and Kumta in Uttara Kannada recorded a copious 9 cm of rainfall each and Moodbidri in Dakshina Kannada received 7 cm. The Met department warns of heavy rainfall at isolated places over coastal Karnataka and Malnad districts in the next two days.
The rains brought about a distinct nip in the air in Bangalore, which recorded a minimum of 19 degrees on Monday morning.

Kertanegara of Singhasari
Kertanegara of Singasari (full name Sri Maharajadiraja Sri Kertanegara Wikrama Dharmatunggadewa)[1] (died 1292), was the last and most important ruler of the Singhasari kingdom of Java, reigning from 1268 to 1292. Under his rule Javanese trade and power developed considerably, reaching the far corners of the Indonesian archipelago.
Kertanegara was the fifth ruler of Singasari and was the son of the previous king, Wisnuwardhana (r. 1248–1268). He effectively held power from 1254 and officially succeeded his father when the latter died in 1268.[2] The Singasari dynasty had come to power in Java following the overthrow of the previous Kingdom of Kediri by Ken Arok, the first Singhasari ruler in 1222.
Kertanegara was a follower of a mystical Tantric syncretism of Hinduism and Buddhism, and presented himself as the divine god-king incarnation of Siwa and Buddha.[3] Kertanegara celebrated many religious festivals and commissioned sculptures and metal plaques during his reign.
Singhasari reached the height of its power during Kertanegara's rule, which saw the dramatic expansion of Javanese power in Maritime Southeast Asia. He extended Javanese involvement in the lucrative spice trade with the Moluccas. He also put down rebellions in Java by Cayaraja in 1270 and Mahisa in 1280.[1][3]
Kertanegara was the first Javanese ruler with territorial ambitions that extended beyond the island of Java. In 1284, he subjected nearby Bali to vassalage. Kertanagara managed to form an alliance with Champa, another dominant state in Southeast Asia.[4]
Late in his reign, the Pamalayu expedition succeeded in gaining control of the Melayu Kingdom in eastern Sumatra, and possibly also gained control over the Sunda kingdom and hegemony over the Strait of Malacca.[3] Other areas in Madura and Borneo also offered their submission to Kertanegara.[1]
Conflict with the Mongol[edit]
Following the conquest of the Song Dynasty in China, the Mongol Yuan dynasty sought to extend its power in Southeast Asia. In 1289 Kubilai Khan, Genghis' grandson sent his own ambassadors to Java to ask for tribute. Kertanegara took grave offense to the request and arrested the envoys. He branded their faces, cut their ears and sent them back to China with disfigured faces.[4]
Knowing that the Mongol would send a military expedition to punish him, Kertanegara tried to solidify his power. Around 1290 the Singasari ruler launched the Pamalayu expedition to Sumatra, in order to conquer the Malay kingdom of Jambi in the south, one of successor states to Sriwijaya. Jambi was one of the first Indonesian polities where Islam had established its presence, and it already entertained cordial relationships with Yuan China.
Kubilai Khan ordered that a strong punitive naval expedition be launched against the remote equatorial islands in order to punish Kertanegara.
Rebellion of Jayakatwang[edit]
In the meantime Kertanegara had dominated all of Java, but before the Mongol fleet came, a dramatic political change occurred. Jayakatwang, prince of Kediri and one of Singhasari's most powerful vassals, rebelled against his overlord.
With the bulk of the Javanese army in campaign overseas and Singasari's defence weakened, Jayakatwang seized his chance and launched a coup against Kertanegara.[4] He launched a diversionary attack to northern Java, where his troops drew the remaining Singhasari troops left on the island. With Singasari defenseless he attacked the capital city.[5]
Kertanegara was killed along with many courtiers in his palace in Singosari in May or June 1292. He was apparently killed while drunk on palm wine in a religious Tantric Buddhist ceremony, and buried with a mortuary temple at Candi Singhasari. Jayakatwang then declared himself ruler of Java and king of the restored Kediri.[2]
Among the few surviving relatives of Kertanegara was his son-in-law, Raden Wijaya, who fled to Madura where he was sheltered by its regent, Arya Wiraraja.[5] Following pleas from Wiraraja, Jayakatwang forgave Wijaya, who in return submitted himself to Jayakatwang. Jayakatwang gave Wijaya land in the Tarik forest in the Brantas delta, where he built a village that was later called Majapahit.
Raden Wijaya used the oncoming Mongol troops to overthrow Jayakatwang. Wijaya then betrayed his Mongol allies, who were exhausted after the war,[4] drove them from Java and established Majapahit as one of the greatest empires to arise from within the area covered by the modern territory of Indonesia.
Kertanegara had no male heir,[3] but through his daughter Rajapatni Gayatri, who married Raden Wijaya, Kertanegara became the ancestor of Rajasa dynasty, the ruling dynasty of Majapahit. His daughter Gayatri and his granddaughter Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi would become reigning queens of Majapahit.[2] His great-grandson Hayam Wuruk became the greatest king of Majapahit, which under his rule became one of the greatest empires in Nusantara.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer Says Gender Isn't Relevant in the Tech Industry: "I Never Play the Gender Card"
In a recent interview with Backchannel, Yahoo's Marissa Mayer was asked if she thought a male CEO with similar attributes would have received the same level of personal criticism that she's experienced during her time at the company. But according to Backchannel, "Mayer wants nothing to do with that form of support."Read More

DAYTON — After five young skaters came to the lectern and spoke in favor of Dayton's skate park Monday night, the City Council passed a motion to reopen the park and move toward establishing an ordinance to make park rules enforceable by law. The young speakers ranged in age from 8 to 15 years old.
The skate park, which is in the Dayton City Park, was closed by the Columbia County Sheriff's Office early this month because of multiple rules violations, including vandalism, spilling garbage cans and verbal abuse of other users and neighboring homeowners. Some users were bringing bicycles into the skate park, which is also a rules violation,
While sheriff's deputies have responded to numerous complaints about problems at the skate park, the Sheriff's Office has told the city there is little they can do to stop them, since park rules don't have the force of law.
City Clerk Trina Cole told Council members she will prepare an ordinance for the next meeting that will incorporate the park rules and allow deputies to arrest violators.
During Monday's meeting, two neighboring homeowners also spoke up to say they would support reopening the skate park, as long as rules are enforced.
The kids who spoke said the problems were being caused by a small number of young men, mostly 18 and over, who are abusive to the younger kids and to neighbors. They all emphasized to the Council that the skate park is a great asset for them as a place to hang out with their friends, and that most users respect the rules.
During the meeting, the kids were encouraged by Council members to work as a group to keep the park clean. Cole said she would make sure the kids had a broom and trash bags available.

BioWare has announced the summer release of an extended cut of Mass Effect 3's controversial ending, but what does that mean for the Indoctrination Theory -- the popular fan-driven idea that the entire disappointing end of ME3 was a figment of Commander Shepherd's mind after being "indoctrinated" by the Reapers?
A BioWare rep addressed the theory for the first time at a PAX East panel, saying, "The indoctrination theory illustrates again how committed the fanbase is. We don't want to comment either way. We want the content to speak for itself, and we'll let it do so."
We'll see this summer whether the extended version of the ending confirms or debunks indoctrination as an explanation for what Shepherd sees at the end of the game.

Chehalem Tasting Room -
Taste our exciting Pinot noirs and exotic white wines paired with cheese and charcuterie. Bring your growlers to be filled or get your here. Only 40 minutes from Portland! Winery Open House: Saturday, 10-5. Tasting Room: Open every day 11-5. Tasting Fee $10.
Chehalem (Chuh-hay-lum) is a local Calapooia Indian word best translated as "gentle land" or "valley of flowers," phrases that capture a long-standing, almost religious reverence for the land. We understand this reverence, for we consider ourselves a vineyard winery, dedicated to reflecting as purely as possible what the vineyard has produced, with minimal processing, without compromising great fruit.
Chehalem traces its history back to vineyard operations started by Harry Peterson-Nedry in 1980 at Ridgecrest Vineyards, the pioneering wine operation on Ribbon Ridge, northwest of Newberg, Oregon. Bill and Cathy Stoller joined Harry in the winery in 1993 and subsequently began Stoller Vineyards—a densely planted, 125 acres on Stoller family farmlands at the southern tip of the Dundee Hills. Corral Creek Vineyards, adjacent to the winery facility, is Chehalem's third estate vineyard. Our first release was the 1990 Ridgecrest Pinot Noir.

Sideline gaffe not enough to ruin Holiday for Texas
SAN DIEGO - The University of Texas was in a gift-giving sort of mood this Holiday season. Even the coach's kin was doling out free points like they were slices of stale fruitcake.
Guess you can do those sorts of things when you've got players as good as Colt McCoy, Jamaal Charles and the rest of the guys in burnt orange.
Even after a couple of first-half missteps, No. 17 Texas still had more than enough to hammer No. 12 Arizona State 52-34 in the 30th Holiday Bowl on Thursday night before a crowd of 64,020 at Qualcomm Stadium.
"That just showed how badly we wanted to win the game - even the family got involved," joked Texas head coach Mack Brown, whose stepson inadvertently handed Arizona State a touchdown when he came off the sidelines to illegally touch a ball in the first half.
That play will go down as a mere footnote in the greater picture.
The win gave the Longhorns (10-3) a team-record fourth bowl victory in as many years, as well as their seventh straight season with at least 10 wins.
Arizona State (10-3) - a team many had considered snubbed by the Bowl Championship Series - failed in its shot at proving it belonged on the big stage.
Despite fumbling three times, losing one, McCoy turned in a stellar effort. The sophomore finished 21-of-31 for 174 yards and a touchdown and ran for 84 more yards and a score.
"We knew they were going to play man-to-man and we were able to take advantage of that," McCoy said. "I thought the offense played really well."
Charles, the Longhorns' top running back, certainly did, celebrating his birthday in style by leading the Texas rushing attack with 161 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries.
Texas' maligned secondary effectively shut down Arizona State junior quarterback Rudy Carpenter. Throwing off his back foot against a heavy rush, Carpenter finished 18-of-36 for 187 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions before he was pulled from the game in the fourth quarter.
Longhorns cornerback Brandon Foster was key in the effort, forcing and recovering a fumble, intercepting two passes and tipping a ball that resulted in another pick.
The Sun Devils turned the ball over four times, most notably on a muffed punt by Kyle Williams in the third quarter while trailing by just 28-13.
Texas cashed in that turnover when McCoy scrambled 30 yards to the Arizona State 3, where he was hit by Vista High graduate Travis Goethel and fumbled in the end zone. The ball was recovered by tight end Jermichael Finley for a touchdown.
"When you turn it over four times, you have no chance," said Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson.
Texas eventually put the game away with just over 11 minutes remaining, as Vondrell McGee scored on a pitchout from 28 yards out to make the score 45-20.
It could have been over much sooner, had it not been for one of the most bizarre plays in Holiday Bowl history.

Getting the Most from the Nexus 7
Another very useful app is called ES File Explorer. This is the best way to handle the storage limitations on the Nexus 7, and it doesn't involve a cloud. This app lets you transfer to any sharable device with a hard drive on your home network. For me, that would be my 2TB network hard drive.
Figure 8. Choosing a Folder Using the ES File Explorer
Figure 9. Choice of Views
Basic photo editing is achieved by choosing a photo in the gallery and touching the choice icon in the upper-right corner.
Figure 10. Picture Editing on the Nexus 7
If you need to print, any of the Android apps for the major printer manufacturers will work, but it needs to be a network printer. Epson Iprint for Android worked for me and my Epson Workforce 630. It also will print documents and pictures stored on clouds, like Google Drive.
The Nexus 7 is a Wi-Fi-only device; however, it is possible to connect to the Internet by tethering the Nexus 7 to your Android phone via Bluetooth by pairing them and checking the box on the phone to allow Internet tethering. My experience with doing this is acceptable, but the Bluetooth Internet speed is knocked down to about 400kbps—even when the phone is getting 4G service that's more than triple that speed. That said, it will get you on the Net when Wi-Fi isn't available. In fact, any smartphone that allows Bluetooth tethering to share the phone's Internet connection will work with the Nexus 7. The one step you need to do to make this work is to activate the Bluetooth visibility from both the Nexus 7 and the phone, prior to pairing.
You can transfer files to and from the Nexus 7 and your smartphone via Bluetooth as well. Another way to transfer files, playlists or anything on your browser is by means of NFC (Near Field Communication). Only a few devices other than the Nexus 7 have this, such as the Samsung Galaxy 3 phones. All you do is tap the tops of the two devices to transfer, and you'll be the envy of anyone with an iPhone.
Now, let's talk about consumption. Much has been made about the lack of Flash support for all Android versions after 4.0. This affects the Nexus 7, which, as everyone should know by now, runs Jellybean 4.1. This is not as big of a problem as some might think. Some major video content sites like CNN and CNET do still stream only Flash from their Web sites. What some folks don't know is that these and other Flash-only Web sites have much or all of the same content on their YouTube channels in HTML5 that the Nexus 7 will play. In time (I'll predict less than a year), all major video content sites will stream HTML5—it is the future, Flash is not.
I bought my Nexus 7 with the optional gray neoprene case. As you can see in Figure 11, the front flap doubles well on most surfaces as a kickstand for viewing.
Figure 11. Side View of the Nexus 7
As far as other entertainment content, no problem: Netflix app—check, Pandora app—check, Hulu Plus app—check, Spotify app—check, YouTube app—check, Ustream app—check, Tune In Radio app—check, Skype app—check, Linux Journal app—check.
Maybe you're like me and enjoy recording HD TV programs using Freevo and a Hauppauge HD PVR connected to a cable box to store on your network drive. Using the ES File Explorer app I mentioned earlier, the Nexus 7 will play it. The video I record from the HDPVR is MPEG-4 in a .m2ts container, which the Nexus 7 doesn't recognize. The trick is to hold your finger on the file icon until it asks you what type of file it is (choose video), then choose the player. With a good Wi-Fi signal, the Nexus 7 will stream that 1080i video.
Figure 12. Nexus 7 Videoplayer
Books and games? Google Play has you covered here too. Games look and play better and smoother than on just about any other Android device, thanks to the Tegra 3 processor.
Figure 13. Playing Shadow Gun on the Nexus 7
As an e-reader, it excels as well, with ample choices of font size, background type and intensity, and the pages flip easily.
The point I want to make here is that the Nexus 7 is as full-featured as you want it to be. You just need to find the right app, which is usually if not always found at the Google Play store. As my final exclamation point, this entire article was written, composed and published on my Nexus 7, using Google Docs within the Google Drive app. It also does spreadsheets. My thumbs that I typed with feel fine, and my eyeballs are firmly connected to my eye sockets—no tactile hallucinations to speak of, from using my Nexus 7.
Philip Raymond is a Technician at Fox Chicago and has used Android since the HTC G1. He also has used SUSE, Ubuntu and, most recently, Xubuntu for his desktops since 2003.
compatible with linux pc
just to be sure: can files (e.g. photos and music) between a linux pc and the nexus 7 be exchanged with a simple usb connection?
Yep, that's how I move stuff between my Linux PC and my unrooted Nexus 7.
You can, only if you root the
You can, only if you root the Nexus 7, which voids the warranty. You can however, transfer files via home wifi, using the ES File Manager app on the Nexus 7 that I wrote about in the article. If you don't have a wifi home network, you could also transfer files using the Google Drive (the Google Cloud)for free, using a Google Gmail login. Of course, if you don't mind voiding your warranty and know what you're doing, go ahead and root it.

Question about the PVR
Which Hauppauge device are you using? I haven't resurrected my Freevo since I went HD but would like to get it back up and running.
I use the Hauppauge HD PVR
I use the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. This version is no longer sold by Hauppauge, I believe they stopped selling it last year. You can probably still find one on E Bay, Amazon or Newegg new or used. The newer version is aimed at gamers who want to record their game play. It also is not compatible with Linux. Here's a link to the article I wrote for Ubuntu User on how to use the 1212 with Freevo....
'[...] it is possible to connect to the Internet by tethering the Nexus 7 to your Android phone via Bluetooth by pairing them and checking the box on the phone to allow Internet tethering. My experience with doing this is acceptable, but the Bluetooth Internet speed is knocked down to about 400kbps'
You'd be better off tethering via WiFi then such limitations won't come into play.
You are correct. However, not
You are correct. However, not everyone has a device that can provide a hotspot or if you're like me, don't think it's worth the extra cost from my service provider to have this option. Bluetooth tethering is the only option if you can't tether to a wifi hotspot device.
Nice Product
I'm pretty happy this product has hit the market. I already have a bunch of people asking for it.. Customer tomorrow for it.. I just don't think stock will be available long as these things come out, there isn't anybody thinking before they launch, and they run short every time.
I wish they were able to figure out how the cases are supposed to be so we could get them in advance. I blow thru thousands of cases for new products and gadgets, and I haven't figured out the manufacturers yet. They can't seem to work with each other to actually have enough stock for the whole world ahead of time!
http://advancedelectronic.net rocks.. Check out the pricing!
value for money
Nice one... Nexus 7 is value for money for sure eventhough i prefer low budget tablets from china. A good one solution is ainol novo 7.
I liked the andromedia application thanks for your review now it will be one of my favourites.
wow ainol hero is the best, i

All of the momentum the Red Sox created Sunday night after David Ortiz powered Boston to a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers with a three-run home run in the ninth inning disappeared Monday night.
The Red Sox couldn't replicate the late-inning success against the Baltimore Orioles as they fell 4-0 in the series opener at Camden Yards. Boston's offense proved to be inconsistent once again, with the Red Sox getting shut out for the fifth time this season.

BOISE -- The Idaho Department of Correction is asking for the public's help in locating a fugitive believed to be in the Boise area.
David Persons, 32, was sentenced last September in Boise County to two to 10 years for vehicular manslaughter for an automobile crash that killed his stepdaughter. Four-year-old Pearl Sittner died in 2012 when the SUV Persons was driving plunged off Arrowrock Road into the reservoir.
Persons was released on probation in March after completing an intensive drug and alcohol treatment program. He is wanted for failing to maintain contact with his probation officer.
Authorities say Persons has a violent history that includes convictions for battery on a law enforcement officer and arson. He is known to frequent downtown Boise.
He is a white male with brown hair, hazel eyes and a fair complexion. He is 6-foot-1 and weighs 215 pounds. He has distinctive tattoos on his forearms and hands.
Anyone with information about Persons whereabouts should call Crime Stoppers at 208-343-COPS.

The Kosmos distributed FS
Kosmos Files
Distributed filesystems effortlessly juggle enormous files in the gigabyte and terabyte ranges. The Kosmos filesystem plans to impress its competitors.
Modern computer programs handle increasingly large volumes of data. Whereas data-mining applications are content to sift through mountains of existing data, Internet search engines constantly horde new information. Users who access this data regularly encounter files of several gigabytes or more.
Legacy filesystems soon reach their limits with this kind of data and throughput. Consequently, organizations that manage huge volumes of data need an alternative solution for fast and safe access. Having redundant data storage is useful; after all, who wants to lose the valuable data gained by several days of number crunching because of a banal disk error?
Distributed filesystems fulfill these requirements. A distributed filesystem splits the data into manageable chunks and stores the chunks on a scalable cluster of computers. By virtualizing storage on the cluster, the filesystem then tricks applications into believing that they are talking to an enormous hard disk.
Into Space
The Kosmos filesystem (KFS) [1] is a promising new entry into this field. Kosmix Corporation developed KFS and released the source code under the Apache license. The first alpha version 0.1 appeared in September 2007. KFS's relative youth shows when setting up the filesystem: KFS requires 64-bit Linux. If possible, the Linux version and distribution should be identical on all the computers involved in data storage.
KFS is up against a number of renowned competitors, including Google filesystem (GFS), which Google uses as the underpinnings for its search engine, and Hadoop project's HDFS [2]. The KFS developers lifted much of the structure and functionality from Google, but they have removed a number of limitations. KFS – like GFS – is optimized for scenarios in which many large files are created once but read many times [3].
Job Descriptions
The Kosmos filesystem consists of three components:
- one or multiple chunk servers that store the data on their own hard disks,
- a metaserver that keeps an eye on the chunk servers, and
- an application that quickly gets rid of a single large file.
KFS thus works much like a database that resides between a computer program and the traditional filesystem (see Figure 1).
KFS first splits a file into handy 64MB blocks. The filesystem distributes these chunks evenly over all attached servers, aptly referred to as block or chunk servers. The servers store the blocks on normal filesystems that belong to the host operating systems.
If the chunk servers start to run out of storage capacity, the administrator can simply add a new computer to the cluster. KFS automatically adapts the new storage node, which keeps the whole system scalable and helps it keep pace with increasing storage demands.
KFS mitigates hardware errors by storing the blocks from every single file redundantly on multiple chunk servers; typically, three instances of each file placed in storage exist.
This safety net allows administrators to deploy standard PCs as cheap, but reliable, data repositories. Google FS proves that this works day after day. If a disk or server fails, you just replace it with a new one. KFS detects the replacement and automatically integrates the newcomer into the cluster.
As another preventive measure against data loss, each block has both a version number and a checksum. KFS evaluates the checksum on each read operation. In case of irregularity, the distributed filesystem deletes the defective chunk and replaces it immediately with an intact copy (re-replication).
Version numbers help to identify obsolete chunks: If a poor Internet connection temporarily separates one server from the cluster, it can identify obsolete chunks quickly when the connection is reestablished and retrieve the more recent variant from the other servers in the cluster.

Yeah, I have been developing my senses, practicing being attuned.

Sensing danger seems to be a bit easier to sense than other things. When I focus my mind, I can try to sense things that I want to sense, answers to questions and stuff. But when there is danger, it can come to your mind without you trying to focus on your senses.

I think the creator designed danger to be easier to sense.
i can, i can tell in the morning whether it will be good or bad, i don't focus on it, but there are days when i know something rotten will happen, it usually does. a friend said to me once 'Don't go out if you can't imagine yourself returning.' good travel tip.
The day my grand son died I had this bad bad feeling all day it was like a black clould over me I was just laying there and around five I got up to check on him like I always have done but this time was differnent I walked in the room turn the light on and I saw him at the other end of the bed face down 20 min before he was at the place where I had put him on his back I knew before I picked him up there was something wrong when u turned him over he was blue around his mounth and eyes blood coming out his nose and mounth he was gone I tried everything the ER doctor said SIDS but he was 2 months old born 5 week erly how could this be SIDS at that age the can't roll over 3 time to get where he was but I had the bad feeling all day like I knew my heart is gone I cold not save him and its killing me
I have always had a sense of when things are going to happen, I I just recently starting talking about it because it freaks me out! The first time I remember it happening was when I was about 15. I had a bad gut feeling that something was going to happen or I was going to be in trouble for something. Later that night I got a call that my Dad had had a seizure. Years later I was sitting out in the lawn enjoying the weather and my gut started hurting. Something told me to go in the house and check the answering machine and there it was, a call from an EMT saying my ex husband had been in an accident. Then 2 years ago I was watching my brand new Grandaughter and I felt more sick than I ever have in my life. I had called my friend and told them I didn't feel right I was just sick to my stomach and I was going to lay down for a bit. I could not settle down. I checked my phone about 20 minutes later and had several calls on it but no messages. So I called my sister which was one of the people that had called me and she told me my Brother committed suicide. Once I had time to think about it days later, the pain had started right around the time he died. My answer is yes. Always follow your gut!
I have this nagging feeling sometimes about the most random things.
I was at the store today, my mother left me to go to the bathroom. Shortly after she left I felt like I needed to check on her, that something was wrong. She came back and told me she was feeling really sick and that she almost fainted.
I had this nagging feeling as my brother was leaving the house to ask him if he had forgotten his phone. He never forgets anything so I found it weird that I would even think that. Sure enough, he came back in and said he'd forgotten his phone in his room.
A while back my mother said that we should euthanize our old dog. I didn't feel ready to let him go. A little while before he passed away, I started crying because he looked in my eyes with his blinded, brown eyes and I knew it was his time to go. He died within that week.
I have other instances that I can't remember (I have a terrible memory!). I don't know what this means, if it means anything at all.
I am desperate to find someone to help me on that.

My head works in a strange way: When I start predicting things it is because something is always about to happen... it could be like thinking about a person and this person calls me, could be thinking about a song and this song is played on the radio, etc.

Lately I have been experiencing lots of these things and I start to be worried that something is about to happen... because I know something is about to happen, but I have no idea of what's about to happen
i had always hade a feeling that somethings going to happin something. i fill like its going to happin soon. even when im not planing or expecting anything to happin i still get the feeling. it seems like im just wating for something that most likly isnt going to happend
I always can since it coming or something and I'm always damn right sadly
Yes this is your gut instinct, listen to it carefully,
Yeah. .sometimes
Well, if my wife says,"Does this outfit make me look fat?"

And I say, "Yes."

About a second later, I get an incredible feeling that something bad is going to happen. And I'm always right.

So, yes.
I think they can...I think it's called intuition? I know its happened to me before.
Most of the time, yes. My wiccan senses tell me..wait, i need my Ouija board...
Oujia boards have nothing to do with wicca. Oujia boards are just some way to contact very negative and bad spirits.
Both times someone has broken into my house I felt a presence and saw people in the corner of my eye a few days prior to someone breaking in and stealing valuable objects.
We are animals. Just as birds will flee before a storm or sea life will leave area of an earthquake, I believe humans share same intuition. Maybe the bad doesn't happen to you, but I think it's true. But "thanks " to our ability to have rational thoughts, we pay someone $150 an hour to tell us it's anxiety.
My answer to this is yes. I am at my teen age and I can sense when bad things are going to happen. I don't know why, it is very hard to understand at my age, but my mother has the same thing. It started when I was around 8-9 years old, where I used to live I used to go to visit my nan mostly everyday, one day before I did this I had a very strong feeling in my gut and I felt sick, I told my parents as they was with me and soon as we got there I asked where my nan was. My grandad replied she is in bed and is very ill. I went up to see her but she was sleeping. A couple days after I woke up with again a stong sick feeling in my gut, me and my nan had a special bond but anyway I told my mum I didn't feel well, and then she told me she needed to talk, she held my hand and said "Your nan is in hospital" a few days after I began to get a sick gut feeling again but this time very strong, when I went downstairs my mum was crying and I asked why and she answered "Your nan died last night". A few hours later we went to the hospital to say our byes. Then at 12 everday I seemed to get sharp pains in my gut, then one night my parents had a fight and my mum left the house. But she did come back. At 15 I had a very close online distance friend, she mostly dated guys around the world and me and her became very close after a while with one of her boyfriends (ex) I started to get bad pains in my gut I couldn't understand why I was feeling this way, then a few hours later my friend told me her boyfriend broke up with her because he was cheating on her. I get bad feelings a lot with her, I can almost feel her pain..well used to. Anyway one day I felt very sick and I stayed home all day locked away in my room, something was telling me to go on my laptop and message my friend and ask how was she doing, this was around her second boyfriend (ex) I always felt a bad feeling when this guy was on a skype call with me and her, in the end he only wanted her for one thing. I have had many experiences with bad gut feelings and then something happening. So yes some people can sense when bad things are going to happen. My mother tells me its a gift I have as also I can sense a spirit near by and sense many other things. It is very hard to understand at my age, but sometimes it helps me and then I can help others. Always follow your gut when it tells you something!
I've had the odd experience of knowing when my loved ones are hurt, even though they are miles away. So, I generally a good sleeper and when I do wake up I fall back asleep within minutes, however, for a few instances that wasn't the case. When I was 8 years old my mother worked 3rd shift so it would be just my father and I at home at night. One random early morning, I woke up suddenly. No panicked feeling. No dreams that I could remember. But I was totally awake. I remember checking the clock and it read 4:15. Minutes later the phone rang. My father answered the phone. My mom had been seriously hurt, crushed between 2 cars while working. It was bad. She fought for her life for a number of days. Happily, she has recovered and now has only minor pain and a pronounced limp. I later discovered that her accident report noted that 4:15 was when she had been hurt. When I was 21, the same thing happened. I awoke in the middle of the night. No panic or dreams. I didn't note the time. I couldn't go back to sleep. In the morning I received a phone call that a very dear friend had been killed by a drunk driver in the middle of the night. And most recently, I awoke just a few minutes before 3:00 am. Same thing. At 3:12 I received a phone call that a close friend had gone missing after a night out drinking with friends. My friend still haven't been heard from. It all seems like more than coincidence to me.
When I felt like something bad was going to happen. My friend almost died. The next time I did, my sister fell head first on a cement floor from the main floor stairs. Another, my brother was sick for a week and almost died. Its possible, because I have experienced it many times.
For me yes, I knew roughly a week before two people in family died, I had a "feeling", yet nothing really stood out to say that it would happen. I also knew when my mother died (yes we knew she had up to 72 hrs to live) but I was at home, and I felt it, five minutes later, we had the dreaded phone call.

I also know when money is not in the bank when its not meant to be, by that, i mean i know a few days before, and panic as I am never wrong.

I know who is calling before I answer the phone (and no for any smart arses, i dont mean i look at the name on the phone).

Also, and this used to help me with my job as a doorman, I always know what a night will pan out like, for example. my fiance and I will go for a few drinks, I say to her, tonight isnt going to be a good one as there will be fights (we choose quiet places, good places to go, and low and behold, there are fights....but not between us though, we air any crap before we go out).

Also, im an avid lucid dreamer, strangely, never about myself. its always events and what not. but I know things will happen before they are in the news, but only ever a week or so before, apart from one dream I have every month or so, but its too strange to talk about without it being my own question lol

Product description
The Russian Revolution had a decisive impact on the history of the twentieth century. In the years following the collapse of the Soviet regime and the opening of its archives, it has become possible to step back and see the full picture. This fully updated new edition of Sheila Fitzpatrick's classic short history of the Russian Revolution takes into account the new archival and other evidence that has come to light since then, incorporating material that was previously inaccessible not only to Western but also to Soviet historians Starting with an overview of the roots of the revolution, Fitzpatrick takes the story from 1917, through Stalin's 'revolution from above', to the great purges of the 1930s. She tells a gripping story of a Marxist revolution that was intended to transform the world, visited enormous suffering on the Russian people, and, like the French Revolution before it, ended up by devouring its own children.

Review quote
Review from previous edition A lucid and indeed instantly classic explanation of the revolutionary spirit in its pre-1917 and Lenin-then-Stalin dominated stages. Tribune A welcome new edition of this classic history, a triumph of concision and incise analysis by a scholar who knows more than almost anyone about the early years of the Soviet system. Orlando Figes, Birkbeck College, London, and author of A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution, 1891-1924 A succinct, insightful, and highly original interpretation of the Russian Revolution as a process of social transformation lasting from 1917 to 1937... Fitzpatrick gives us a challenging rethinking that will shape our discussions for years to come. Ronald Suny, University of Michigan A beautiful little introduction to the topic.

Observations from our Chief Operating Officer, Fred Espinoza
Q: In your career - how have you taught managers to be better communicators?
It seems an easy task because most new managers equate communicating to basically just telling employees what they need to do. That is just one piece of the equation. We emphasize a lot the fact that communicating is also listening and looking for clues to see if the message received has been understood or that we have understood what they have told us. For example when somebody tells us something we may say: "so I hear you saying that…" or if we want to make sure that the message was understood we ask them to repeat back what we said. Nodding heads not always means that people are understanding.
Q:What three tips would you give to a new manager?
- Always be available to listen to your employees. They are the engine of the business and they make it happen.
- Lead by example. Nothing will gain you more respect and loyalty than showing them how is done and not just telling them.
- Teach your employees how to fish don't just give them the fish. It would make them better employees and they would be grateful that you took the time to make them better.
Q: In your experience - what set the best manager you have worked with apart from others because of his/her communication skills?
The ones that listen to their employees have avoid a lot of difficult situations but doing so and also the ones that have make sure that the message have been understood. With a new change of direction, I always told managers that to be successful with change it is like building a muscle, you have to repeat it plenty of times until it is second nature. In other words sometimes you have to keep emphasizing the message.
Q: When you hire - what 3 characteristics do you look for?
- In this business, if you are going to be in the front of the house you better be an extrovert or you are going to be miserable and it will show.
- Communication skills. They might have a great story to tell but if they cannot communicate it we have a problem. This business is all about telling a story to our guests.
- Smile/Positive attitude. Nobody wants to come to a place where people are let's say depressing/boring. We are on the entertainment business. There is enough stress in life. We want guests to forget about this stress during the time they are with us.
