Take down early campaign posters, Comelec tells bets
Candidates vying for seats in the Senate and House of Representatives have less than 20 days to remove their names and faces from the sides of buses and other vehicles, as well as from public places, or risk disqualification and a jail term of up to six years.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Tuesday reminded candidates for national posts that, under the law, election propaganda that is prohibited must be removed before the start of the campaign period on Feb. 12.
As for candidates for local government positions, they have more than a month to comply with the law as the campaign period for the local elections starts on March 30.
Under Comelec Resolution No. 9615, which lists the rules and regulations implementing the Fair Election Act, all prohibited forms of election propaganda shall be removed by the candidate or party concerned or they will be presumed to have committed an election offense.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. said illegal forms of propaganda included names, images, logos, brands, insignias, color motifs, initials and other forms of identifiable graphical representation placed by candidates on a public structures or places.
Campaign posters and banners mounted on government vehicles, public buses, jeepneys, trains, taxis, ferries and tricycles, and those placed on the premises of public terminals, also constitute an election offense punishable by disqualification from holding public office, a prison term of one to six years and loss of the right to vote.
"We are issuing this call to all candidates: Please remove all prohibited forms of election propaganda before the start of the campaign period. Failure to comply constitutes an election offense," said Brillantes.
In an interview on the sidelines of a Catholic Media Network forum on Tuesday, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said the poll agency would issue a two-week notice to candidates to give them ample time to comply with the campaign rule.
He said the commission would strictly monitor compliance through task forces to be set up in every town and city in the country.
"The election officer in every town has the power to create a task force so the monitoring will primarily fall under them… the EOs will ultimately have the responsibility to make sure [the rule is complied with]," Jimenez told reporters.

Disney & Orlando Secrets

When you think of Disney what are your memories
The very first thing I thought of was of a little boy standing on line at IASW with a HUGE Mexican hat. :D He had that hat for years. :D
The second thing I thought of was another little boy and I riding Dumbo. As the elephant car started to move and ascended, he shouted, "HE'S FLYIN' HE'S FLYIN!" Too precious.
Many good memories. Watching Tapestry of Nations, Illuminations, NYE in EPCOT, That first (TERRIFIED) time on Alien Encounter, that second (ICANTBELIEVEIMDOINGTHISAGAIN) and LAST time on ToT! Seeing the gorilla baby crying because he had a leaf stuck on his foot. Seeing the dominant male silverback on the family side, signing. Seeing the baby tamarins being carried on the back of the adults (as you can tell, LOTS of AK good memories). Lunching in the rain, outdoors under an umbrella in France. Being invited to MNSSHP by our dearest friends and seeing the BEST parade at MK! :D (Not to mention loads of candy). :D :D
So many wonderful memories...
Never had the chance to go as a kid, but have wonderful memories of each and every time we went. On our first vist, the memory of seeing the parks and our resort (Disney Inn) seemingly transformed overnight to a Christmas spectacle, then the first time DW and I saw the castle, roaming Main Street. Peeking over from Epcot and seeing a new park being built behind the Dolphin and Swan - DHS
A great memory was checking into the brand spanking new Boarwalk, meeting my brother and sister in law who had just flown in from freezing Green Bay, WI and being thrilled of how marvelous the lobby was. DD Alex (then 6) running out to see the pool and the Keister Koaster slide. Then just being amazed at how happy she was skipping from place to place, humming songs, and carrying her way oversized pen and autograph book to get autographs. Seeing how she just looked at Jasmine and other princesses. Priceless.
Too many to go into but they are strong memories.

It's probably the monorail. I don't know why, but every time I see it it sends tingles through me. Hearing the announcements just sends me to cloud nine.
... I just re-read that and I didn't mean it to sound as creepy as it does!
Our first trip to a WDW hotel. We stayed at Wilderness Lodge and my granddaughter was 4 (and she's now 19). I always have to visit the Lodge every time we go because it holds such happy memories and I love the smell of it
Well the first time we went, we booked Disney as part of a multicentre holiday a real cheapy off the tv with florida then new york and vegas. So we get off the plane and are met by a plain white van which has about 15 of us crammed in :lol: As it goes around dropping people off at wonderful Disney hotels, we're looking out for ours. 20 mins later we get dropped off at ...... travelodge main gate east. Oh dear. It was soooooooo awful and we were so disappointed. Anyway there was an advert outside on a flashing sign for Disney Room available so I called on the off chance and they said yeah come on over. From the moment I heard the nice kind voices on the phone to the moment we walked into all star movies and saw the decorations, theming, christmas tree etc. we just had huge smiles.
Of course we now know all stars is just the tip of the iceberg but for all we knew at the time it could've been the best room at the grand floridian. We just loved it.
Walking through the lobby the next day with the CMs saying hi and smiling, everyone happy, the shop full of Disney magic and as we got to the lobby a character bus arrived! All the characters in one place for photos and signatures.
We've had lots of great Disney memories but I'll always remember that first experience and all star movies will always be special to me.
I have a few, I can't just single out one, the first time we went and I walked into the Magic Kingdom, saw the castle and got all teary. I had two things that I dreamt of doing and going to WDW was one of the. I have such wonderful memories of that holiday.
One Christmas we went with our friends and we took our friend's daughter to BBB, she chose the Fairytale Princess Package (I think that's what it was called) her face when she turned round and saw herself was an image I will never forget, she still talks about it now.
We went to the MK and met friends there, we also met a young man who was very shy, they were coming of IASW and he came over gave me a hug and said "Hi Miss Wendy" he had my heart from that moment on.
Later in the day, as a treat he was told he could choose to become a pirate at Pirates League, he chose Jack Sparrow. I have never seen a child with such big beautiful eyes, watching his face being made up, I think he chose the black eye, I can't remember properly, I just remember the look on his face, I don't think he could believe this was happening. He made a mighty fine pirate :D
As the evening drew on he wanted to go on the speedway and he chose to go on it with Chris. To see him holding Chris' hand walking in front bought a lump to my throat, there was Chris all 6ft 2" of him with this little boy reaching up to hold his hand, it was a very special moment. I wish I'd taken a photo of it.
Going to MNSSHP with friends and laughing as Chris encouraged my little man to go back around again if it was quiet. If there were two bins, the pair of them would go through twice as well to make sure they got lots of candy :lol: We have been to MNSSHP lots of times, but that is the best night we had.
Memories are wonderful :)
Memories are wonderful :)
exactly :hug2: and that what it's all about really. Money, jobs, cars they all come and go but no one can take your memories
Oh Becca, I so agree with you.

Putin warns Ukraine against refusing gas offer: agencies
Published on Jun 11, 2014 8:40 PM
MOSCOW (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday warned Ukraine against refusing a reduced gas price offer, accusing Kiev of driving negotiations into a "dead end" with demands for further price cuts.
"If our offer is rejected then we will shift to a whole other level. That is not our choice and we do not want that," Russian news agencies quoted Mr Putin as saying.
He added that Russia had proposed to cut its gas price offer by US$100 to a final price of US$385 per 1,000 cubic metres.

That's kinda the way it happened for me with DS. I was pregnant with DD and I think the milk changed/lessened. He just went in to nurse, looked up at and smiled and shook his head. He never nursed again, even when I offered. He was at about 2-3 x's a day at that point. He was 19 months. It was sad for me, I was looking forward to tandem nursing and all that, but he had other ideas.
Sometimes, it is that easy.

Goodie Mob
Still Standing
NO DISRESPECT TO the other three MCs of Atlanta's Goodie Mob, but Carlito "Cee-Lo" Green is an emerging hip-hop hero. Where the accomplished, yet generally indistinguishable, trio of Gipp, Khujo, and T-Mo can vacillate between the Wu-Tang or your average No Limit soldier, the stocky, bald, bespectacled Cee-Lo has no parallel in hip hop past or present.
With his raspy, preacher-man delivery and self-described "silky, Southern drawl," Cee-Lo comes off like Reverend Ike with wisdom and mic skills. A quintessentially Southern rap star in a genre that has only recently broken free of its bicoastal provincialism, Cee-Lo sounds like the most country MC ever in a self-consciously urban culture. Think Otis Redding on "Tramp." Carla Thomas: "You're country, Otis, straight from the Georgia woods." Otis: "That's good."
Humble, smart, funny, nonmaterialistic, and always ready with a pithy slogan ("I don't sell dope, I sell hope!"), Cee-Lo flies in the face of all that is wrong with present day Benjamin-hoarding, Cristal-sipping, wack MCs. He blended into the mix on Goodie Mob's excellent 1995 debut, Soul Food, but he had a bit of a coming-out party last year on DJ Muggs's mix project Soul Assassins. Amid an album of millennial paranoia, Cee-Lo came on at the end of Goodie Mob's cut "Decisions, Decisions," to upbraid an imagined sucker MC whose life defines "the misconception of staying down." He followed that dis by explaining the ins and outs of a crass business that would leave said MC "back in the projects, in building 23, right next door to me."
But on Still Standing, Cee-Lo steps to the forefront, bookending the record with mesmerizing, soulful monologues, and coming up with two absolute showstoppers in between. On "Beautiful Skin" he bats lead-off, coming correct with the sweetest pick-up attempt in hip-hop history. Declining to bust a move on a honey he meets at a club because it's too loud to give her proper attention, he opts to wait and calls her the next day. "Hello, this is Carlito from a couple a days ago," he raps. "You sound tired, forgive me for calling you so late... has anyone ever told you you have beautiful skin?"
Even better is "Gutta Butta," on which he begins by asserting his own ordinariness ("I ain't shit, I just know how to rhyme a little bit... I'm still trying to squeeze my fat ass in where I fit"). Soon he's shifted gears to describe a funny, frightening carjacking incident, where he gives up the car with no argument and has the carjacker drive him home because "I value both of our lives more than this car." Amid a landscape of self-described playas and gangstas spouting self-destructive fantasies, or would-be "teachers" who too often stand at an only moderately effective intellectual remove, Cee-Lo and Goodie Mob speak for the forgotten majority on hip-hop terrain: just plain folks.

There will also be craft events for teens, manga animal drawing lessons, origami, vegetarian cooking classes and even an opportunity to paint ceramics from Color Me Mine.
Adult events include author experiences with Teresa Rhyne and W. Bruce Cameron, cooking classes and craft days.
The Library will also be showing animal-themed family movies all summer, including "Balto," "Homeward Bound," "The Fox and the Hound" and "Curious George."

The most difficult part of the repair was removing the old ice maker. Removing the three mounting screws was easy, but unpluging the electrical was more difficult as there was no extra length in the wiring harness to allow access. Therefore it was necessary to remove the mounting bracket in order to be able to get the harness in position to disconnect it. Still couldn't see that it had a retaining clip, this was only known by looking at pictures of replacement hartnesses. Once the harness was disconnected, the old ice maker was out. The new icemaker was almost the same as the old one except for having to take the water inlet off the old one and install it on the new ice maker. (no instructions on how to do this, just had to wing it). Once this was done the new ice maker was installed in about 5 minutes.

Ex-Post Efficiency and Resource Allocation under Uncertainty
This paper considers two resource allocation mechanisms which operated in an ex ante exchange environment and have the properties that: 1) equilibrium allocations are ex post efficient; 2) ex post efficient allocations can be attained as equilibrium of the mechanisms. With the possibility of production ex post efficiency is inadequate as a partial ordering of resource allocations and an alternative efficiency notion is introduced.

text: Mobile Microsoft finally brings Office to iPhone, but you have to subscribe to Office 365 to use it June 14, 2013 6:31 AM Sean Ludwig 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. After more than a year of reports saying it would finally happen, Microsoft has launched a version of its flagship Office software for the iPhone that's free to Office 365 subscribers. The move is smart for Microsoft, and it needed to do this to succeed in mobile in 2013. Microsoft has made hardly a dent in the mobile market with Windows Phone or its Surface tablet. But Microsoft wanted to give more people access to Office, its most important software outside of Windows. Office for iPhone gives a huge audience access to official Microsoft software for editing documents in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Plus, it gives people more reason to subscribe to Office 365, its cloud-assisted subscription version of Office that runs for $100 a year. (Read our Office 365 review.)

Experts: Fla. couple may not be welcome in Cuba
Tuesday - 4/9/2013, 5:52pm EDT
Associated Press
MIAMI (AP) -- The Florida couple accused of snatching away their two sons and fleeing to Cuba may have thought they could find a refuge from U.S. authorities on the communist island. But with criminal charges pending and little for Cuba to gain politically by holding them, experts say they are unlikely to stay for long.
In a case drawing parallels with the Elian Gonzalez saga more than a decade ago, authorities say Joshua Michael Hakken kidnapped his sons, 4-year-old Cole and 2-year-old Chase, from his mother-in-law's house north of Tampa and took the children and his wife, Sharyn, on a boat to Cuba.
The boys' maternal grandparents had been granted permanent custody of the boys last week.
The U.S. and Cuba share no extradition agreement and the island nation is also not a signatory of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, an international treaty for governmental cooperation on such cases.
That means it will be up to Cuban authorities on whether or not to return to them.
"If Cuba's view is the father has the right to the children, it's up to them to make that decision," said Cyra Akila Choudhury, a Florida International University law professor and expert in family custody cases.
Cuba is long known for harboring U.S. criminals with an ideological bent. But in a case with no political overtones and pending kidnapping charges, Cuban authorities there may be hesitant to keep them.
Hakken lost custody of his sons last year after a drug possession arrest in Louisiana and later tried to take the children from a foster home at gunpoint, authorities said. A warrant has been issued for his arrest on two counts of kidnapping; interference with child custody; child neglect; false imprisonment and other charges.
"There is no upside for Cuba," said Jaime Suchlicki, a Cuba expert at the University of Miami.
The incident recalls the child custody case that set the two Cold War foes feuding in 1999. That year, 5-year-old Elian Gonzalez was found clinging to an inner tube off Florida after his mothers and others drowned while fleeing Cuba toward American soil. The boy was taken to Miami to live with relatives, but his father in Cuba demanded the boy be sent back.
U.S. courts ultimately ruled Gonzalez should be sent back, though his Miami relatives refused to return him. In April 2000, federal agents raided the family's home and he was returned to Cuba soon after.
Cuban authorities had no immediate comment on the current case.
The two nations are divided by the 51-year-old U.S. embargo against Cuba and have limited diplomatic relations.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Hakken entered his mother-in-law's Florida house last Wednesday, tied her up and fled with his sons. Federal, state and local authorities searched by air and sea for a boat Hakken had recently bought. The truck Hakken, his wife and the boys had been traveling in was found Thursday, abandoned in Madeira Beach, Fla.
In Cuba, an Associated Press reporter approached the family at the dock where their boat was tied up, and a man who resembled photographs of Joshua Michael Hakken yelled out "Stop! Stay back!" He had a full beard and wore shorts and a baseball cap.
The family appeared to interact normally. The youngest child was seated in a stroller and the elder boy on a curb. A woman who resembled mother Sharyn Hakken was seen on the boat.
Heavy Cuban state security was present and told reporters not to take pictures of the family or the boat, which bore the name Salty and a paw print on its side. The four later ducked into the office of dock master Gabriel Abrego, who declined comment.
Andrew Zych, a Canadian docked in a sailboat steps away from the Hakkens, said the family had arrived recently and seemed normal.
"I liked the way they played with the kids," he said, adding he was surprised to learn of events in the U.S.
An Amber Alert had been issued for the boys in Florida, Louisiana and other states. Authorities have previously characterized Hakken as "anti-government.'
State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the U.S. Interests Section in Havana is seeking more information from local authorities about the case but wouldn't comment further because of privacy reasons.
"U.S. officials are providing all appropriate assistance to the family," Ventrell said.
A State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly, told The AP: "We have received very good cooperation from the Cuban authorities in this ongoing investigation."

Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines (CADAAD)
Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines (CADAAD) is an ongoing project which aims to foster and promote cross-disciplinary communication in critical discourse research. This site is intended as a resource for both students and scholars critically involved with discourse.
Amsterdam Summer School: Doing Research with Discourse Analysis
Amsterdam, 6-17 July 2015
Doing Research with Discourse Analysis: A discourse perspective on making sense of social change.
New at the VU University this Summer: a 2-week course in "doing discourse analysis" across disciplines for students in the social sciences, history, health care, entrepreneurship and any other field in which language use is connected with social practice. The course includes lecturers from the VU University Amsterdam and Lancaster University.

CDA20+ Press Release
CDA20+ Symposium: Reflections on Critical Discourse Analysis
The CDA20+ Symposium is a historic event in academia, celebrating 20+ years of Critical Discourse Analysis (Amsterdam, 8-9 September 2014). It will facilitate two days of discussions among three generations of CDA experts and practitioners.
In January 1992 five academics (Teun van Dijk, Gunther Kress, Theo van Leeuwen, Norman Fairclough and Ruth Wodak) met informally in Amsterdam. They saw a role for the critical linguistic analysis of language use in institutional and interpersonal settings to study the interrelation between discourse and society, and to create social awareness and empowerment. This meeting constituted the foundation of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as an academic paradigm.
At the CDA20+ Symposium, the founders of CDA, together with 75 scholars from four continents, will evaluate how CDA has developed over the past decades, what its future directions should be, and how it can contribute to social relevance in academia with new insights and research technologies. So far, major achievements have been the establishment of a cross-over of premises and methods of linguistics and the social sciences, the application of discourse analysis for mediation and the improvement of e.g. government communication.
The symposium aims to formulate new directions for critical discourse studies and analysis. It will facilitate discussions on establishing new ways of 'doing CDA' to account for and challenge social change, strengthening its social relevance and the promotion of social justice. One important case to be discussed at the meeting will be the future of the university. How can CDA contribute to academic integrity and critical thinking in the neoliberal university?
The symposium has been organized by a team from the two universities of Amsterdam, and beyond.
It is a closed event; all 80 places have been taken.

CfP: 7th Lodz Symposium: New Developments in Linguistic Pragmatics (NDLP2015)
University of Łódź, Poland
Department of Pragmatics
Łódź, 12-14 April 2015
This 7th edition of the NDLP conference series aims to respond to a surge of new research in pragmatics, with a view to bringing together the novel, empirically, experimentally and clinically based models, and classical topics/frameworks such as Gricean pragmatics, Speech Act Theory and presupposition. We encourage papers (re-)examining the semantics-pragmatics boundary, which has been sometimes blurred by the confrontation of the new and the traditional frameworks. Proposals are welcome at the intersection of the philosophy of language and pragmatics dealing with theoretical, methodological and definitional issues, as well as issues of interdisciplinarity in pragmatic investigation.
While we specially encourage presentations of theoretical approaches which have a basis in empirical studies, or allow for experimentally testable predictions, the conference continues to be open to all kinds of pragmatics oriented research recognizing pragmatics as a functional (i.e. cognitive, social and cultural) perspective on language and communication. This applies to functional studies involving multiple and heterogeneous territories: everyday discourse, (online) media, education, political and professional settings, problems of linguistic construction and maintenance of identity, communicative genres, issues of multilingualism and linguistic pluralism, pragmatic aspects of translation, pragmatic awareness in foreign language teaching, and more.
The following distinguished scholars have accepted to address the conference as keynote speakers:
- Mira ARIEL (Tel Aviv University, Israel)
- Anita FETZER (University of Augsburg, Germany)
- Michael HAUGH (Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia)
- Andreas MUSOLFF (University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK)
- Jef VERSCHUEREN (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
- Deirdre WILSON (University College London, UK)

CfP: 1st European Conference on Argumentation
1st European Conference on Argumentation – ECA Lisbon 2015
Argumentation and Reasoned Action
9-12 June 2015, Lisbon, Portugal
The European Conference on Argumentation (ECA) is a new pan-European initiative aiming to consolidate and advance various streaks of research into argumentation and reasoning: from philosophical, linguistic, discourse analytic, cognitive, to computational approaches. The chief goal of the initiative is to organize on a regular basis a major conference on argumentation. The first of these conferences will be hosted in Lisbon by the ArgLab, Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA), Universidade Nova de Lisboa. While based in Europe, ECA involves and further encourages participation from argumentation scholars all over the world.
CONFIRMED KEYNOTE SPEAKERS for ECA Lisbon 2015:
- JOHN R. SEARLE (Philosophy, University of California, Berkeley, USA)
- ISABELA FAIRCLOUGH & NORMAN FAIRCLOUGH (Discourse Analysis, University of Central Lancashire & University of Lancaster, UK)
- SIMON PARSONS (Computer Science, University of Liverpool, UK)
Argumentation and Reasoned Action
The primary idea behind this first edition of the conference is that argumentation and reasoning are the main vehicles for our decisions and actions. They accompany, indeed constitute, a variety of significant social practices: from individual practical reasoning, small group decisions, deliberations of official bodies in various institutional contexts, to large-scale political and social deliberations. Argumentation is understood here as a mode of action – and not just any action, but a reasoned action, comprised of consideration of reasons (whether they are good or bad). Traditionally, argumentation has been assigned many distinct functions: epistemic, moral, conversational, etc. The aim of the conference is to explore how these functions are interrelated with the practical need for deciding on a course of action. Simply put, our chief concern is with the role argumentation and reasoning play when the question of "what to do?" is addressed.
All kinds of approaches to argumentation and reasoning are welcome: the (informal) logical, (pragma-)dialectical, rhetorical, but also contributions that examine argumentation from the perspective of practical reasoning in moral philosophy and philosophy of action; deliberation in political theory; public policy analysis; legal decisions in philosophy of law; cognitive study of reasoning and decisions; models of decision-making in computer science; organisational, small-group, and interpersonal communication; or discourse analytic methods examining the linguistic tokens of argumentative practices.
The conference will be focused on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Practical reasoning and argumentation
- Fallacious arguments and bad decisions
- Argumentation and decision-making in institutional (education, health, business) and interpersonal contexts
- Argumentation and deliberation in the public sphere
- Public policy debates and public controversies
- Argumentation in digital media
- Visual arguments as modes of action
- Models of argumentative dialogues
- Argumentation in multi-agent systems
- Legal arguments and legal decisions
- Cognitive mechanisms behind argumentative practices
Submissions from students and young scholars are encouraged.
DEADLINE for submission: 1 October 2014

(Re)construing nationhood in '(un)doing Europe' today?
Warsaw, 8-10 May 2014
Contact: email@example.com
Conference theme and foci
The conference will examine the current nexus between national and European thinking (in talk and text). Our focus is on the various discursive (re)constructions of national identification vis-à-vis Europe (and the contemporary world in the background): whether, and if so, then how, where and why, the ongoing discourses of European integration (and disintegration) invigorate, mute, or simply redefine national talk in (semi)public practices and domains, whether domestically or internationally. Relational, dynamic and integrative perspectives on nationhood are welcome in particular: how does the national element interact with other social dimensions and categories, especially those based in regional, global, political, professional or gender and age-related variation? What is the role of ideologies and policies of multiculturalism, employment, race and immigration? Do national (and nationalistic) arguments correlate with parameters of social diversification (economic, educational; elitist and egalitarian attitudes)?
The conference will address discursive (texts, genres, metaphors, etc.), and more broadly, semiotic (artifacts, images, icons, etc.) manifestations of nationhood in how Europe is being 'done', but also'undone' today This, we hope, will reveal various aspects, sites and styles of interdiscursivity and dialogization of difference (in the sense of Bakhtin) over issues involving national, European and international concerns. We welcome contributions examining interactions marked by power differential (esp. among citizens, politicians, experts and authorities).
We invite papers exploring various contexts, domains and practices (politics, media, business, research and education, religion, sports and entertainment, tourism, health and environment protection), as well as different media and technologies (old and new media; translation and interpretation; sign language; school and academic teaching).We envision the conference as an international and interdisciplinary forum of discussion, gathering scholars working within or (preferably) at the intersection of different methodologies: discourse analysis, critical discourse studies, pragmatics, (new) rhetoric, Systemic-Functional Linguistics, Register & Genre Theory, narrative theory, ethnography, social semiotics, multimodal analysis, and related approaches with communication at the forefront.
We are pleased to announce the following plenary speakers:
- Prof. Peter Berglez, Örebro University, Sweden
- Prof. Elżbieta Hałas, University of Warsaw, Poland
- Prof. Leszek J. Korporowicz, Jagiellonian University, Poland
- Prof. Michał Krzyżanowski, Örebro University, Sweden
- Prof. John E. Richardson, Loughborough University, UK
- Prof. Carlo Ruzza, University of Trento, Italy & University of Leicester, UK
The conference languages are English, German and Polish. Papers will be allocated 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. Abstracts of no more than 300 words including references should be sent as MS Word attachment to email@example.com by 15 December 2013. Please include in the body of the email but not in the abstract itself your name, affiliation and email address. Notifications of acceptance will be communicated by 15 January 2014.

Capo La Gala Hotel & Spa
Via Luigi Serio 8, Vico Equense, Italy
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In the mad rush from Naples to Capri or the far side of the Sorrentine Peninsula it's too easy to breeze right past Sorrento itself; a shame, for while not technically on the Amalfi Coast this side of the Bay of Naples is blessed with some extraordinary spots, the village of Vico Equense among them. It scarcely gets more picturesque than this gorgeously weathered seaside village, though the Hotel Capo La Gala, just on its fringes, gives it a run for its money.
A beachside getaway is not in the cards — the coast here is rugged and rocky, which adds to the seascape's sublime aspect, and keeps things a little less casual, as it's easier to be elegant in closed-toe shoes. The hotel's interiors inspire some elegance as well — the look is contemporary, with a pronounced marine influence, and while eclectic details abound, the overall impression is crisp and tightly buttoned.
The rooms themselves present an urbane face, and while they're not over-large they are quite large enough, and open to the sea air — the Bay of Naples is never far away, especially if your room comes with a private terrace. A spa helps provide the aquatic therapy that you would have found at the beach, and the restaurant, with its open-air dining room overlooking the sea, is a forceful reminder that Campanian cuisine is among Italy's finest — obviously, given the competition, no faint praise.
Please note: Capo La Gala Hotel & Spa is open seasonally, April through October. Minimum night stay requirements in the month of August.
How to get there: Capo La Gala is approximately 50 minutes by car or train from Naples. Vico Equense Train Station is less than one mile from the hotel.

What I liked:
Service was excellent, consistent, delivered with great kindness and enthusiasm. I cannot compliment the staff, morale and consistent approach enough. Special thanks to Maurizio, Tobia, the pool, front office and concierge staff.
Nothing like having the beautiful ocean feet from your window. No beach not an issue. Easy access to the water. Swimming in the sea after a long day -- nothing better.
Food quality absolutely first rate. The chef really is something special. Wonderful consistency of flavors using very fresh ingredients. None of this fusion mixing of flavors. Really good (and I eat all over the world)
What the hotel could do better:
Wifi ok but boost the signal.

Job Evaluation Process
Jobs are evaluated under the HERA job evaluation scheme using the following process:
- Heads of Department, managers and staff, whose jobs are being evaluated, are contacted to discuss the process.
- Information is collected from the member of staff to find out more about the requirements of the job. Normally this is done through a meeting with a trained job analyst, building on the information already provided in the job summary.
- The information is used by the job analyst to create a detailed job description.
- The individual and his/her manager are asked to verify that the job description represents the job.
- The job description is evaluated by a trained panel using the HERA job evaluation guidelines.
- The evaluation score determines the grade of the job.

Its 'Mother' dead, doomsday sect's future in doubt
BOZEMAN, Mont. It wasn't long ago that thousands of members of the Church Universal and Triumphant followed their leader's call to donate their life savings to build underground shelters against a coming nuclear apocalypse.
Yet Armageddon never came, and after a decade-long decline caused by Alzheimer's disease, Elizabeth Clare Prophet – "Mother" to her followers – died last month at age 70.
In the waning days of Prophet's reign as the church's divinely chosen messenger, its focus shifted from civilization's end to the development of a New Age publishing juggernaut, producing hundreds of books and recordings drawn from Prophet's mystical declarations.
The church still keeps its 750-person shelters stocked with food – "insurance," its leaders say, against possible dark days ahead. Yet with Prophet gone, it's uncertain the spiritual movement she embodied will prove as lasting as all the concrete and steel hidden beneath a Montana mountainside north of Yellowstone National Park.
"You had a clear figurehead that became the focus of the organization, the object of adoration. When that's suddenly removed it throws people into a tailspin," said Robert Balch, a University of Montana sociologist specializing in cults and unconventional religions.
He said Prophet's death sparks a "crisis of succession" over who will take her place.
As her followers convene at the church's sprawling Corwin Springs compound this weekend for a three-day memorial gathering, the struggle to lay claim to Prophet's legacy already has begun.
Within days of her death, former church member David Lewis announced he had channeled Prophet's spirit.
Lewis said this week he wants to "carry Elizabeth's message forward" and is inviting church members to "make a fresh start" with a spinoff group he started several years ago, the Hearts Center.
Like Prophet, Lewis claims the ability to channel Jesus, Buddha and more obscure spiritual figures such as St. Germain and El Morya.
Church leaders have denounced him.
Since Prophet fell ill, at least 15 people have stepped forward claiming to be the next messenger, said Neroli Duffy, who sits on the church's 24-member council of elders. None has met with council approval.
"We're moving ahead," Duffy said Thursday. "She didn't necessarily think there would be another messenger."
Prophet led the church since the 1973 death of her second husband, Mark Prophet, who founded the church's parent organization, The Summit Lighthouse, in 1958.
The couple preached that one's soul progresses through a series of earthly incarnations. His past lives were said to have included Aesop, Lancelot and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hers included Nefertiti, Queen Guinevere of Camelot and Marie Antoinette.
Soon after her husband died and became an "ascended master," Elizabeth Prophet began to channel his holy dictations. Over the next two decades she attracted an estimated 50,000 followers around the world.
Melding mysticism, Christianity and Eastern religions with strong doses of patriotism and self-sufficiency, she promised adherents a newfound path toward personal enlightenment.
Yet long before Elizabeth Prophet's death, Balch and others who tracked her career saw her power base beginning to crumble.
The grip she held over her followers first began to loosen after her doomsday predictions went unrealized in 1990.

San Francisco, California
My Rating
The driver was 30 minutes late picking us up. She made a big deal about NASCAR delaying our drive
In Sonoma, but it was a very short delay in traffic. She rushed us at every stop and we had to forego the tour at our second winery. We only were allowed to taste the wine, then back in the van...no time to shop or tour. She was in a hurry to get back to SF because apparently the van was needed for a night tour or maybe she had an appt...very confusing, but everyone felt rushed all day. Very disappointing and I would not take this tour again with this company

Excellent tour...everything we expected. The driver was very good and kept us on track all day and was very informative. We really enjoyed the a entire day. I would do it again.

I tend to get discontent when I run out of content.
Well, the next expansion takes you into the past. I could see that being a one-way trip. Then any new characters you created would also be in the past not the present.

Some people have done the content so many times they can justify their wants to pay to have a 90 on another class they don't feel like doing the content for. When the games primary focus is end game, paying to have a max level isn't really a bad idea. Personally I doubt I will do it ever, but if someone wants to skip the content to play the endgame I'm not going to stop them because it doesn't affect me. Just like it doesn't affect me that they have mounts in the shop. They aren't mounts you can farm in game, so if I farm the mount in game I want, people can tell I farmed it, rather than just buying it in the shop which they cannot do yet.
Blizzard hasn't taken it too far, they are setting up for free to play, which will happen eventually and WoW's numbers will be incredible once again.
The one thing I hope they add is a progression server like EQ did, start with vanilla, go into bc, wotlk, cata, pandaria and draenor once it comes out.

Again, allowing people with more disposable income than myself to waste it on max level characters makes no difference to me. Furthermore if you need to worry about those people in arenas / battlegrounds (presumably screwing up your team), then find yourself a group or guild to play with like anyone else who's even the slightest bit serious about PvP.
There's enough bad players at endgame that a few more will make little difference. Hell, the prospect of spending money on something might actually cause people to do some research into how a class plays before taking the plunge, creating a player who WANTS to play the class correctly at least.

It's a whole new game.
WAR did the same thing with their RvR Packs and Progression Packs. They sold access to endgame content and it was the nail in the coffin for a lot of veteran players that, at the time, I was playing with. I'm aware that Mythic's revenue stream is absolutely incomparable to Blizzard's but it is still the same idea.
In terms of the path that Blizzard has been taking with WoW, this isn't too far for them. They know they have a large audience that would much rather purchase an endgame toon than take the time to run through the game again. They also know that they are non-subscribers that will probably jump in now that this is implemented.
WoW died for me when, as someone else has mentioned, Blizzard thought it would be a good idea to add a cash shop to the game.
Putting in that feature should tell you that nothing is too far for them because they know WoW is still a cash cow.

I sort of understand where you are coming from, i just don't see it the same way because it is just a company and just a game, I grew up with Woolworths stores all over my high streets as a child and they made bad choices and closed down, was i a little shocked, yes, did i lament and moan about it, no, i shopped at Argos and Wilkinsons instead.
On the charity front you can look at it in a number of ways, you could say that they are conning everyone by trying to look nice, you could say that they did it for the tax breaks or you could say that they decided to use their power as a world wide large company to do some good for people in need, i guess it depends on your slant.
The one thing that has not been mentioned in here is how Blizzard have been doing this since before the online store opened, but no-one was pissing and moaning about "collector edition" expansion packs, all those little extra's you get when you pay a little extra or the official strategy guides, trading cards with in game codes for mounts and pets how is any of that any different from the online store?
Again, it comes back to the same thing in many of these discussions, if you don't like the game or you have that strong a feeling about the direction the company is taking and you feel that you cannot continue then pack up and walk away, that is your right as a person and consumer, but to throw around insults and childish digs at the people who still enjoy the game for what it is, well, that just smacks of bitterness.
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.

It's not about if people have done the content several times, it's the fact billzard are CHARGING people for this. They know the content is dull and boring, they know many vertran players can't be asked with the content, so there taking advantage of the situation and giving a solution that you have to pay for. Why not make vetaren rewards? 1 free 90 every month and many other things. Why don't they FIX low level areas and add interesting content that makes you enjoy re-leveling. Instead of seeing players as players, they just see them as "cash cows".
Also find it odd when people say "it's just business" it might be business, but it's bad business. Not sure why in the mmo world it's alright and acceptable for a company to rip you off or abuse problems they caused to make money. (silkroad all over agian)
Blizzard are playing a game, there seeing how far they can go before the playerbase call them out. This expansion alone they have introduced 10 items, added an in-game store and on the verge of selling level 90s. That's the same amount that they've released over 3 expansions. If players are still acceptant of this then there's no hope lol
Don't take this the wrong way, the game i love and will remember the years i put into it. Blizzard? God knows anymore

I guess the main reason is due to the fact that everything has just been a "visual only item" up to this point, they served no purpose and this will serve some purpose. I don't know about others but when I see someone riding around on a mount that was purchased, it simply doesn't mean all that much to me. Its just kind of there. However this is more of "Here is a shortcut, but only if you pay." Subscribers and expansion buyers have already paid a fairly decent sum of money.
As for the last paragraph. Many people do not like being told to just leave the game they have played for years due to just possible greed out of a company. While many might leave for this reason only time will tell if it was the best business decision. Granted I think regardless of what they do at this point will not matter due to the fact that if their mmo starts dying all they need to do is switch to F2P, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Some have guessed $20, $30, or $40 for this service. I personally think they could sell this for $40-50 and have many purchases. At one point, that seemed to be the going rate for those who sell their accounts.

I last played 3.5 years ago. Before that I played since launch. Even when I last played there were horrible, horrible players at the level cap. I mean let's be honest: There was when the level cap was 60, as well.
The more I get back into the game here I guess the less the insta-90 bothers me. I just think that you're underestimating how many new players are going to take advantage of this. Now, of course, that could be a double edged sword in that it might just reinvigorate the player base and the population could surge again but at the same time it's not going to be a handful of players with new 90's standing around in WoD. It might be droves...at least initially. It's going to be an utter fiasco.
What worries me more is that the path from 90-100 could be a total care bear fest in anticipation of how bad these players are going to be. Blizz might not want to make the transition too tough on them and therefore water down the 90-100 experience for all of us. Even worse - Endgame would wind up even easier than it is today.
I have no problem making the game even more accessible to casuals and noobs a like than it already is today. As long as there is still a way for a good player who researches, learns his class, practices tactics, and generally cares about their performance to separate themselves from the pack.

I dont think the shopping example work real well here, only Blizzard can offer Blizzard games to me with their prices and bullshit "pay here here and here" - I cant go to Mythic and buy Blizzard games with more reasonable terms. I can go to whatever shop though and buy the same stuff, I personally use most of the time 2 different rival distributers and I can get the same stuff from both with either the exact same product or the same product with just a different name.
I dont find collector's editions comparable all that well either, it's a bit different when you make a one time purchase into a new expansion pack to give that extra boost of hype for your self and kinda show "I really like this game" - When I buy CE I pay what, 20$ extra and get a pile of stuff!
I played WoW + other Blizzard games for years, I handed them money for a long time, and instead of getting a loyalty point store to perhaps get some of those "optional" stuff as a "thank you" for supporting the company a long time, instead get a "fuck you" in terms of cash shop. It would be reasonable to start accumulating somekind of veteran points after the first year, that you could use for race changes and mounts once a year, make long time customers happy, but no, just add more monetization.
But sure, it's just business, it pisses me off a bit since I'm not a greedy person, I offer a round for the friends, and I buy games from steam holiday sales into my secondary computer just so a friend of mine who cant afford shit gets to play too. Sometimes I expect to get something my self, at least a "thank you" if nothing else, but when I get a slap in the face instead, damn right I steer clear of the asshole who acts like that.
PS. I'm not raging, it's just the way I type stuff does not suit internets as well as a vocal conversations where you can see that A.) the face is not all that serious B.) often a sentences ends with a smile or a chuckle (which looks a bit silly when typed tbh) - Apologizes if I come out as an asshole, my personality and fail typing skills are not delicate enough for internets.

The loyalty point store is actually a great idea. Would you be more open to the idea of a cash shop if loyalty points and cash were options?
Originally posted by MMOVet82
Sure, why not. The items and services could have 2 different price tags each, one for money and the other for LP. I'm not saying you should be able to buy piles of items and services from the store with LP as soon as you hit 1 year mark, but a system that given enough time you could every now and then use the services or buy some mounts etc as a long time customer.
It's not like Blizzard would lose any of that box+sub fee cash anyway, perhaps got even more if people felt like valued customers to make them stick better with the company. Getting a LP coin each year, that you could use on a single cash shop service/item sounds reasonable to me. Ore perhaps get 1 coin for each month since the monthly fee, and stuff could cost say, 6-12 coins depending on how "big" service or item is in question.
Originally posted by Kuinn
Once again...not a bad idea. I'm kind of surprised something like this doesn't already exist. If you're going to pay direct cash for things at this point, might as well be rewarded for all of the cash you've paid in subscription fees over the years.
Originally posted by Bruhza
A shortcut to what though? To where everyone else is in the game already with no advantage in skills, armour or weaponary.
People have been doing this already for many years, just without paying for it, they instead got their friends or guild mates to boost them, again, this is just a different route to the same result.

Blizzard has all the rights to conduct their business as they see fit.
it's PLAYERS that need to re-evaluate their experience. don't like, don't play it.
Originally posted by Shadoed
But you could say the same about gear if they start selling it in the store, just get boosted by your guildies through the dungeons you want gear from, not a big deal, just a different route to the same results.

This is what i don't get, the sense of entitlement to something for using a paid service?
You paid your money and used the service that they provided, that was the end of the relationship as it would be with any other service that you pay for. But, Blizzard have provided some items over the years for those that have stuck with them, some tokens of loyalty if you will, like the baby blizzard bear and onyxian whelpling and the last couple of years they offered experience and rep gains along with the achievements that go along with them. They also offered those that proved a little loyalty and signed up for an annual pass a free copy of Diablo 3, a free flying mount and access to the next beta test, so roughly 4-5 months worth of subscription in goods just for signing up for something i would have paid for anyway, not a bad bonus.
You could take a negative view of those things and say that they did that just to keep you on board, but that is what every loyalty scheme is designed to do, keep you coming back to the same place to spend your money and get a token in return. I can't say that i would disagree with a loyalty bonus of some sort, would be a nice gesture, but i, in no way believe that i am entitled to get something just because i choose to pay for a service.

Logic, reason and fact do not supersede human nature. Ignorance reigns without justice.
When faced with strife or discontent, the true nature of a man is brought forth. It is then when we see the character of the individual. It is then we are able to tell if he is mature enough to grin and bare it, or subject his fellow man to his complaints and woes.

Annmarie Fertoli, Associate Producer at WNYC
Annmarie Fertoli is an Associate Producer at WNYC, working with the afternoon news team to produce All Things Considered.
The latest survey of the city's most popular baby names found many of last year's top picks stayed in the top ten, including Isabella and Sophia for girls and Jayden and Daniel for boys.
Camilla Addison, with the New York Presbyterian Hospital/Cornell Weill Medical Center says the hospital's list matches up pretty closely with the city's health department findings for 2009. She also noticed an interesting trend among the more than 5,000 babies delivered there last year.
"Names such as Aidan and Jayden are being used for both boys and girls," Addison said.
The city's health department found some variations in the top ten across ethnic groups, but there was also some overlap. Madison was a favorite among black parents, while Sophia won over Asian families. For boys, Ryan was favored among Asians and Michael among whites.
The survey also found that pop cultural and religious influences play a major role in the names parents choose for their children.

Kings Dead - Not a Worry
Artist: Kings Dead
Producer: Alex Mendoza
Album: Revenge of the Beast
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 7 votes )
With the aggressive, ambitious bars and tension-fraught beats Kings Dead showcased on previous singles '94 and Over Dinner, listeners could be forgiven for assuming the Bostonian rapper/producer duo were a little intense, if not high-strung, in real life. A listen to their latest cut, however, should disabuse you of that notion for good. On new single Not a Worry, released along with a breezy official video directed by Rand Rosenberg, Sonny Shotz outlines his "hakuna matata"-esque approach to life in witty, conversational bars. Alex Mendoza puts his own devil-may-care philosophy into practice behind the boards, flipping a sample from the Zac Brown Band's country hit, Toes, into one of the most ridiculous, yet catchy instrumentals I've heard in a hot minute. For this left-of-center summer jam and more fresh cuts, cop Revenge of the Beast when it hits records stores and online retailers later this summer.
