World's Top Architecture Cities
Find out what cities made our list for the world's best destinations with the most amazing architecture.
DubaiStanding 2,723-feet tall, the Burj Khalifa is just one reason why Dubai is a popular spot for modern architecture. The Khalifa Tower was the vision of the Chicago architecture firm that also designed the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower). Other examples of amazing architecture include the Burj Al Arab and The World -- an artificial archipelago made to resemble a world map. 960 1280
ChicagoThe Cloud Gate (pictured) and Willis Tower (aka Sears Tower) are a few architecture sites heavily populated by tourists. The Windy City was also home to the architect great Frank Lloyd Wright. Take a tour of his home and studio to see his architectural laboratory, where he generated amazing ideas and experimented with numerous design concepts. 960 1280
New York City
New York CityFreedom Tower -- the tallest building in New York City -- is the most recent example of the city's amazing architecture. And who could forget the Big Apple's other treasures, including The Highline, Empire State Building, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Time Square and the Chrysler Building. 960 1280
Beijing, China
Beijing, ChinaArchitects started building the Great Wall of China during the 7th century BC to protect the Chinese Empire. Today, millions of tourists travel to see this marvelous wonder and other architectural delights steeped in ancient Chinese history, including the Forbidden City in Beijing. 960 1280
RomeAlthough the Romans adopted aspects of ancient Greek architecture, Rome, Italy, still made our list of top architecture cities. The city has awesome architecture witnessed by the beauty of the Colosseum (pictured). It was built in 72 AD and is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. Tourists can also see other ancient Roman architecture in Aqueducts, the Pantheon, Temple of Vesta, the Vatican and Baths of Caracalla. 960 1280
ShanghaiShanghai is known for its modern architecture. The Jin Mao Tower (pictured) and Shanghai World Financial Centre are 2 of Asia's tallest buildings. The Shanghai Grand Theater, architect Arata Isozaki's Himalayas Centre and Paul Andreu-designed Oriental Art Centre are all reasons why this city made our list. And the work continues, the 121-storey Shanghai Tower is expected to be completed by 2014, earning its new title as the tallest building in Asia. 960 1280
AthensVisit the world-renowned ruins in Athens, Greece. Travel back in time and marvel at the work of numerous Athenian sculptors and architects. The Temple of Athena (pictured), Parthenon and Temple of Poseidon are a few reasons why this is an inspiring haven for any aspiring architect. 960 1280
BarcelonaArchitect Antoni Gaudi's work can be spotted throughout Barcelona, Spain. His multi-colored tile-style is ever present at Park Güell (pictured) and Casa Batlló. Gaudi also designed La Sagrada Familia, but died before his work was completed. Sculptors have continued working on the basilica, which is also a popular tourist attraction. Work is scheduled to be completed by 2026. 960 1280
ParisParis' Notre Dame Cathedral -- a fine example of French Gothic architecture -- is a well-known tourist attraction. The city also has other hot sites with interesting architecture, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Pyramid, La Grande Arche de la Defense, Centre Georges Pompidou, the Arch de Triomphe and the Sacre Coeur Basilica. Be dazzled by the stunning architecture in the City of Light. 960 1280
BrasiliaTravel to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. The city has not gone untouched by creative minds and artists. Take a look at the inside of the unique interior of the Cathedral of Brasília. Oscar Niemeyer designed the basilica in 1970. Check out the Palacio da Alvarado, the Cultural Complex of the Republic and Three Powers Square for more artistic architecture. 960 1280
InstanbulYou probably wouldn't know it, but Instanbul, Turkey, is also a great architecture city. The Hagia Sophia, Column of Constantine and Sultan Ahmed Mosque (pictured) are wondrous sites to behold. The mosque is also known as the Blue Mosque because of its blue-tiled walls inside. 960 1280
CairoJourney to Cairo, Egypt, to explore the Great Pyramid of Giza (pyramid in the middle), the oldest and largest of 3 pyramids. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World -- the only one that remains intact. It's amazing to think how huge bedrock stones where moved into place to create the Pyramid. But it's no mystery why this city made our list. The Cairo Tower, City Stars Cairo, International Stadium, Cairo Opera House, Yocubian Building and Sultan Hassan Mosque are all great examples of distinct architecture native to this vibrant city. 960 1280

Capuchin Catacombs
Capuchin CatacombsDown in the cold, dry basement of the Capuchin Monastery, on the outskirts of Palermo, Italy, are the remains of 8,000 people. When the monastery outgrew its original cemetery in 1599, catacombs were excavated beneath the building. In addition to friars interred here, well-known locals chose the crypts as their final resting place. The catacombs are open to the public; iron grills prevent visitors from touching or posing with those laid to rest here. 960 1280
Catacombs of Paris
Catacombs of ParisA series of manholes and ladders lead visitors to the creepy catacombs of Paris. In 1786, the cemeteries of Paris churches were filled to overflowing. The government saw a solution in long-abandoned stone quarries in and around the capital. The resulting catacombs eventually became the final resting place of some 6 million people. Following a vandalism incident, the catacombs were closed to the public in September 2009, but reopened a few months later. 960 1280
Brno Ossuary
Brno OssuaryThe Brno Ossuary in the Czech Republic is estimated to hold the remains of more than 50,000 people, making it the second-largest site of its kind in Europe (behind the Paris Catacombs). The ossuary was established in the 17th century, partially under the Church of St. James. The ossuary was later forgotten, until its rediscovery in 2001. It has been open to public tours since June 2012. 960 1280
Monastery of San Francisco
Monastery of San FranciscoBelow the monastery of San Francisco, in the historic center of Lima, Peru, creepy catacombs are filled with skulls and bones. The catacombs were established following the monastery's construction (in 1774), and remained in use until 1808, when a city cemetery was founded outside of Lima. The catacombs were soon forgotten, until their discovery in 1943. An estimated 70,000 individuals' remains fill the catacombs' narrow hallways and deep holes. 960 1280
St. Stephen's Cathedral
St. Stephen's CathedralLight peeks through the darkness at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. Following its consecration in 1147 A.D., the cathedral's grounds gave way to cemeteries – a result of the high honor that believers placed on being buried near a church. Interments began in 1735 and continued until 1783, when a new law forbade most burials within the city. Today, the cathedral's catacombs house the remains of more than 11,000 persons. 960 1280
St. Paul's Catacombs
St. Paul's CatacombsSt. Paul's Catacombs, outside of Mdina, Malta, are a series of underground galleries and tombs that date from the fourth to the ninth centuries A.D. Intriguingly, the 24 catacombs, which cradle the tombs of more than 1,000 dead, show evidence of pagan, Jewish and Christian burials side-by-side, with no clear divisions. The excavation of the catacombs began in the late 1800s, under the guidance of a Maltese archaeologist and author. The site is now managed by a national agency, with 2 catacombs open to the public. 960 1280
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Catacombs of Kom el ShoqafaThe Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa ("Mound of Shards") are a series of tombs in Alexandria, Egypt, that reach a depth of 100 feet. In the 2nd century A.D., they were built for a wealthy family … then forgotten until 1900, when a donkey fell into the access shaft. Human and animal remains have since been found, along with 3 sarcophagi. The catacombs' name derives from visitors who used to visit the tombs and bring food in terra cotta jars to eat while there. They didn't wish to bring the containers back home from this place of death, so they would break them … leaving shards behind. 960 1280
Sedlec Ossuary
Sedlec OssuaryThe Sedlec Ossuary is a small chapel in the Czech Republic that happens to have a whole lot of skeletons -- between 40,000 and 70,000, in fact. Some bones are arranged to form decorations in the chapel, including this chandelier of bones. The ghoulish designs are the handiwork of a 19th-century woodcarver who had been hired by an aristocratic family to arrange the bones, which had been interred in the ossuary since 1511. 960 1280
Hallstatt Bone House
Hallstatt Bone HouseSome visitors find the Bone House in Hallstatt, Austria, unexpectedly beautiful. We just find it creepy. The small chapel is home to a ghoulish display of 1,200 skulls. It came about in the 12th century, when the neighboring cemetery became filled to capacity. Cremation was forbidden, so bodies would be buried for about 15 years, then exhumed and placed in the chapel. Here, skulls are painted with a floral crown – a practice that began around 1720, in a gesture akin to placing flowers on a grave. 960 1280
Skull Chapel
Skull ChapelThe Skull Chapel in Czerma, Poland, was built in 1776 by a local priest. The chapel serves as the mass grave for nearly 25,000 people who died during the Thirty Years War, 3 Silesian Wars (between Prussia and Austria), as well as from cholera outbreaks and hunger. The priest led the effort to collect the remains and put them in the chapel. The walls and basement are filled with skulls and bones; the remains of those who built the chapel are placed in the center of the church and on the altar. 960 1280
Capela dos Ossos
Capela dos OssosThe Capela dos Ossos, or Chapel of Bones, in Évora, Portugal, gets its name from the human skulls and bones that cover its interior walls. The chapel was built in the 1500s by a Franciscan monk, who wanted his fellow monks to meditate hard on life's transient nature. That message is driven home by some 5,000 skeletons, collected from nearby churches, as well as the words by the chapel's entrance: "We, the bones that are here, await yours." 960 1280
Skull Tower
Skull TowerIn the early 1800s, Serbian rebels stood up to the Ottoman Empire. The Skull Tower was later built using the skulls of Serbs killed during a battle in 1809. In all, 952 skulls were collected and mounted on a tower as a warning to whoever opposed the empire. The tower stood in the open air until liberation of the area in southern Serbia in 1878. By then, much of the tower had eroded. In 1892, donations from all over Serbia led to the construction of a chapel, built around 58 skulls that still remained. 960 1280

5 1/2 month old wiggles out of his swaddle and ends up naked in his crib. I don't want pjs on him because with the swaddle that will be too hot but it doesnt matter how tight I double swaddle he gets out. So I started weaning him off it and finally last night, he slept without it. Then tonight he screamed and screamed until I went in and swaddled him. It's like he hates it but needs it. Also, he has been sick more of his life than not. RSV, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, stomach virus, and a cold so every time I get him to sttn he gets sick and his sleep gets all messed up and I have to start over just like he was a newborn. Anyone else still swaddling and not sleeping?

I tried one arm to wean him off of it and he had that one good night then he just decided he didn't like it. One of his colds was how I started too, he wasn't sleeping anyway so I figured good a time as any. Oh well, put pjs on him tonight and just single swaddled. If he is going to get out of it anyway he might as well be wearing some clothes.

I'm doing basic random number generation using this Shared Function:
Public Shared Function RandomNumber(ByVal MaxNumber As Integer, Optional ByVal MinNumber As Integer = 0) As Integer
'initialize random number generator
Dim r As New Random(Date.Now.Ticks And &HFFFF)
If MinNumber > MaxNumber Then
Dim t As Integer = MinNumber
MinNumber = MaxNumber
MaxNumber = t
End If
Return r.Next(MinNumber, MaxNumber)
End Function
Called like this: dim x as integer = Random(2100000000)
Very simple, and the seed value comes straight from a MS example.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: I'm getting duplicate numbers on occasion, but always created at times that are usually at least 5 or 10 minutes apart. I can see if I was calling the function multiple times per second or millisecond, because that'd kind of "breaks" the seed. But these are showing up at extended time spans. What else could be causing this?

St. Lucie School Board tentatively approves lower tax rate
What: Final public hearing on St. Lucie County School District's 2012-2013 tax rate and budget
When: Sept. 11 at 5 p.m.
Where: School Board meeting room, 4204 Okeechobee Road, Fort Pierce
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — School District tax rates moved a step closer to decreasing this week when the St. Lucie County School Board approved a tentative budget and preliminary tax rates for fiscal year 2012-2013.
On Tuesday, at the first of two required public hearings on the proposed budget and the taxes to support it, the board adopted a preliminary tax rate of about $7.77 per $1,000 of taxable property value, which is about 10 cents lower than the 2011-2012 rate of $7.87. The board is scheduled to adopt the final tax rate and budget at its second public hearing Sept. 11.
Most taxpayers could see a decrease in their school tax bill over last year. Under the proposed tax rate, a home with an assessed value of $96,500, minus the $25,000 homestead exemption, would have a taxable value of $71,500 and a tax bill of $555.63 earmarked for the School District.
At last year's school tax rate of $7.87 per $1,000 of taxable value, the tax bill for a home of the same value would have been about $563.21, about $7.58 more than what's proposed.
Because the state sets the main tax rate, there is little the board can do to change the rates, St. Lucie County Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Tim Bargeron said. The board can vote to only decrease and not increase the property tax rates the state proposes.
Over the past five years, the district has had a cumulative cut in tax collections of about $240 million, Bargeron said.
Median value: $86,250
Homestead exemption: $25,000
Taxable value: $61,250
Proposed property tax rate: $7.77 per $1,000 of taxable value
School tax bill: $475.97

Chelsea Handler Asks Miss Piggy About Sex With Kermit (VIDEO)
Of course, this is Chelsea Handler, so the questions inevitably turned to sex. But when Handler wanted to know how far she and Kermit had gone, Piggy proved a master at interviews, by cleverly evading the question. It's a completely inappropriate question, after all, and more importantly -- we don't really want to know the answer!
'The Muppets' Spoof 'Pretty Little Liars'
Who's 'A,' and what does he or she want? And more importantly, what do those mysterious text messages mean?
We think Miss Piggy would be a perfect fit for Rosewood. After all, her hair looks perfect, and we all know that Piggy can kick some serious 'A' when she needs too.
The coolest thing ever you'll see today: the Muppets channel Queen
I don't care. They were funny when I was a growing toddler still learning how to say my ABCs and they are still funny now that I'm an adult who cannot say my ABCs backwards convincingly enough to prove my sobriety. So just imagine my joy when this video surfaced of the fuzzy funnies doing their rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Never change, Sylvia Browne
The Muppets take the Smithsonian
The exhibit features 14 of Henson's Muppet creations, including Bert and Ernie, Kermit the Frog, and others from the long-running Sesame Street. The exhibit is scheduled to remain at the Smithsonian until October, then leaves on a three-year tour to seven other cities.
Muppet Show season two coming August 7
Season two is a 24-episode set with classic guest appearances by Bob Hope, George Burns, John Cleese, Milton Berle, Elton John, Bernadette Peters and Julie Andrews, just to name a few. The bonus material includes The Muppets Valentine Day Special, a pilot which aired two years before The Muppet Show came on air. It features Kermit and Mia Farrow, and is hosted by little-known Muppet 'Wally'.
Kermit gets all depressed and sings - VIDEO
Here's a rather disturbing video (after the jump) of Sesame Street veteran Kermit The Frog singing about all of the people who have left him, the horrible life he's had, and Miss Piggy. This isn't "The Rainbow Connection," folks. This is Kermit doing an acoustic version of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt" (also covered by Johnny Cash). Kermit has hit rock bottom. This episode has been brought to you by the letter D, which stands for depressing.
I never really noticed this before, but if you close your eyes and listen closely, Kermit sounds a lot like Neil Young.
(Warning: NSFW...especially if your W is touchy about felt puppets masturbating and taking drugs.)
Which Muppet are you?
I disagree with all of them. I think the true Muppets test is just in your looks, not your personality. I think I look like Rowlf (it's the brown hair). I have a friend who is a dead ringer for Janice, one who reminds me of Fozzie Bear, and another who could totally pass for Crazy Harry. There's a Muppet for everybody!
So.. forget the stupid tests. Which Muppet do you resemble?
Vote on Muppet DVD cover art
If you click over to Muppets.com, you can vote on which of three covers featuring Miss Piggy will be used for the upcoming Season Two DVD set. There's no official announcement yet on an exact release date for the set, though Muppet News Flash writes that the set should be out in the spring. The second season had some great guest stars, including George Burns, Steve Martin, Milton Berle, Don Knotts, and Peter Sellers. I think a lot of Muppet fans will agree that the show really began to take shape in its second season. As far as the cover art is concerned, despite which one is chosen I wonder if they'll still find a way to use the other two covers somehow. I can't imagine they'd go through the trouble of creating them and not use them all in some fashion.
The Five: Shows I resolve to watch in 2006
5. Veronica Mars If Joss Whedon says this is the "Best. Show. Ever." I believe him. I really missed the boat on this one and now that we're halfway through season two, I've got a lot of catching up to do. Most of that catching up with be done on DVD. And hopefully I can catch this season's reruns during the summer so I'll be ready for season three in the fall.

Article: High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Ultraviolet Determination of Memantine Hydrochloride after In Vitro Transdermal Diffusion Studies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present work was to validate an accurate and precise high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method involving ultraviolet detection for the quantitative analysis of memantine hydrochloride. In order to analyze a molecule with no chromophoric groups that could be detected by a UV/visible detector, it was necessary to extract the drug and to perform a dansylation reaction that enabled the UV/visible detection of the derivatized molecule. Separation was carried out with a 150 mm Kromasil C18 column at room temperature. The detection response, at 218 nm, was found to be linear in the concentration range from 0.5 to 50 μg/mL. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, limit of quantification, and robustness. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.144 μg/mL, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.437 μg/mL. The dansylated memantine complex was stable for at least five days in all the conditions evaluated. The potential use of this method has been demonstrated by the quantification of memantine hydrochloride contained in samples from the study of its in vitro transdermal permeation.12/2012; 2013.

Article: Transdermal absorption of memantine - Effect of chemical enhancers, iontophoresis, and role of enhancer lipophilicity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The transdermal administration of memantine may have advantages with respect to oral therapy when treating advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease. With the ultimate objective of administrating memantine through a transdermal patch, the absorption of the drug across skin was evaluated by means of in vitro permeation studies. The effect of several chemical enhancers was studied in order to enhance percutaneous absorption of the memantine. The iontophoretic transdermal transport of memantine hydrochloride using a current density of 0.5mA/cm(2) was also investigated. Results demonstrated that pre-treatment of the skin with R-(+)-limonene, laurocapram, decenoic acid, or oleic acid produced a statistically significant increment in the transdermal flux of memantine hydrochloride with respect to the control. Iontophoresis exhibited the greatest ability to enhance the flux of drug with respect to the control; nevertheless, the results obtained with R-(+)-limonene indicate that this compound could be of great use as a percutaneous enhancer in a memantine transdermal delivery system. In this study, the relationship between enhancement activity and lipophilicity was also studied. Satisfactory correlations have been obtained between the optimum lipophilicity of the enhancer and n-octanol/water partition coefficients of drugs. This relationship is a very useful tool that could allow to reduce time and to optimize the selection of appropriate enhancers for transdermal formulations.European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics: official journal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V 06/2012; 82(1):164-70.

Article: HPLC-UV analytical method for determination of pizotifen after in vitro transdermal diffusion studies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pizotifen malate is an antihistamine and serotonin inhibitor used in the preventive treatment of migraine and eating disorders. A simple, rapid, accurate and precise high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method involving ultraviolet detection was validated for the quantitative analysis of pizotifen malate in samples from in vitro transdermal diffusion studies. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantification and robustness. Drug stability in the solution was also determined under different conditions. Separation was carried out using a 250 × 4.0 mm Kromasil(®) C(18) column at room temperature. The detector response, fitted at 254 nm, was found to be linear in a concentration range between 0.24 and 24.0 µg/mL. The limit of detection was 0.02 µg/mL and the limit of quantification was 0.07 µg/mL. Finally, in vitro transdermal diffusion of pizotifen malate was characterized using the validated HPLC method.Biomedical Chromatography 06/2012; 26(6):769-74.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present work was to characterize the in vitro transdermal absorption of almotriptan through pig ear skin. The passive diffusion of almotriptan malate and its iontophoretic transport were investigated using current densities of 0.25 and 0.50mA/cm(2). In vitro iontophoresis experiments were conducted on diffusion cells with an agar bridge without background electrolytes in the donor compartment. Although both current densities applied produced a statistically significant increment with respect to passive permeation of almotriptan (p<0.01), that of 0.50mA/cm(2) proved to be the best experimental condition for increasing the transport of almotriptan across the skin. Under these experimental conditions, the transdermal flux of the drug increased 411-fold with respect to passive diffusion, reaching 264±24μg/cm(2)h (mean±SD). Based on these results, and taking into account the pharmacokinetics of almotriptan, therapeutic drug plasma levels for the management of migraine could be achieved via transdermal iontophoresis using a reasonably sized (around 7.2cm(2)) patch.International Journal of Pharmaceutics 09/2011; 416(1):189-94.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Sydney-based electronic commerce startup BuyReplyhas raised 1 million Australian dollars (US$1 million) to build its Australian team and establish a U.S. presence, founder Brad Lindenberg told Deal Journal Australia Monday.
BuyReply's technology allows consumers to text message, email or Tweet to purchase an item while viewing "offline" media like television, catalogues, newspapers and magazines. For example, users who text a code to buy an outfit or accessories they see on screen or in print media receive a reply with a link which directs them to a secure payment site.
Investors in the round included CVC Capital Partners' former head of Australia and New Zealand Adrian MacKenzie, Australia's Square Peg Ventures and U.S.-based Valar Ventures. Square Peg is backed by Seek Ltd. co-founder and Wesfarmers Ltd. non-executive director Paul Bassat, while Valar counts Peter Thiel as one of its partners and key investors.
L Capital Asia, a private-equity firm backed by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has made its second investment in Australia, a person familiar with the matter said Monday.
L Capital, also backed by Groupe Arnault, the holding company of LVMH chairman and chief executive Bernard Arnault, and Malaysia's YTL Corp. Bhd., beat competition from other interested parties to acquire a 49.9% stake of Australian retailer R.M.Williams for around 52 million Australian dollars (US$54.3 million). The Sydney-based company has made handcrafted boots since its 1932 inception.
L Capital will also acquire the option to buy the remaining stake in the bush outfitter from owner Ken Cowley, at the same valuation. The deal was based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, in excess of A$10 million, the person said.
The best option for beleaguered Billabong International Ltd. shareholders is to accept a 287.4 million Australian dollar (US$301.6 million) takeover proposal from a consortium led by private equity firm Sycamore Partners Management, analysts said Wednesday.
In a note to clients, Citigroup Inc.'s Craig Woolford cut the stock's target price to the tabled A$0.60 a share from A$0.90 a share, as he believes there's a very high probability of a deal proceeding. That's despite it representing an enterprise value to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or EV/Ebitda, multiple below comparable transactions from the past eight years.
"The company has been backed into a corner and, in our view, the shareholder's best option will be to accept, given the alternative is likely lower," Mr. Woolford said. "The fact that due diligence by two private equity firms could only justify A$0.60 indicates that the underlying sales base is far smaller and the costs are much greater."
Australian retail and property magnate Brett Blundy has relocated to Singapore, joining a peer group of foreign tycoons moving to the affluent island nation, people with knowledge of the situation told The Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Blundy, Australia's 33rd richest person with a fortune of US$835 million according to Forbes, founded BB Retail Capital in 1980. He built up his initial fortune by growing a single record store called "Disco Duck" into a 238-store strong Sanity Entertainment Group, encompassing HMV and Virgin Entertainment, before selling it in 2009.
BB Retail Capital's current investments include a 40% stake in BridgeClimb, a company which has enabled more than 3 million people to reach the top of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, as well as majority stakes in retail brands Diva and Lovisa.
Teen apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch has chosen an interesting time to plant its flag in Australia–a time of falling profits at Australian department stores such as David Jones and at such iconic brands as boardsports pioneer Billabong International.
U.S.-based A&F said in late 2012 that it will open two Hollister stores this year, following in the footsteps of international peers such as Topshop and Zara, but a step ahead of Swedish retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB, better known for its H&M brand, which said Thursday that it would open in Australia in 2014. Meanwhile, A&F plans to close up to 50 stores in the U.S. this year, primarily through lease expirations.
Clearly, A&F sees offshore expansion as way to grow. Revenue from international sales totaled US$1.4 billion in fiscal 2012, a 36% increase. "We are confident that we are on track with our longterm strategy of leveraging the international appeal of our iconic brands to build a highly profitable, sustainable, global business," chief executive Mike Jeffries said last month.
Michael Scheiner, A&F's director of PR and marketing, spoke to Deal Journal Australia about the group's plans for Australia and why its Hollister brand will lead the way instead of A&F itself. Check out his thoughts after the jump.
Australian surfwear retailer Billabong International Ltd. said Thursday it is investigating the reasons for a fall of as much as 22% in its share price.
The company, which is at the center of a takeover tussle between two U.S. consortia, requested that trading in its shares be halted until Monday at the latest while the investigation takes place. Its shares traded at 69.5 Australian cents (US$0.722), down 14%, when the halt was granted, having touched a low of A$0.63.
The former head of Billabong's Americas division, Paul Naude, has teamed up with private equity firm Sycamore Partners Management to make an A$526.8 million offer for the company. VF Corp., the owner of Timberland and The North Face brands, joined up with Altamont Capital Partners to match the A$1.10-a-share offer from Mr. Naude's group.
Australian investment manager QIC has built up a stake in online plus-size retailer OneStopPlus through its private equity unit, San Francisco-based QIC principal Stephen Whatmore told The Wall Street Journal.
QIC manages nearly 70 billion Australian dollars (US$72 billion) on behalf of sovereign wealth funds, superannuation funds and institutional investors. Among its divisions is a global private equity fund, which manages more than A$3 billion.
Boston-based buyout firms Charlesbank Capital Partners and Webster Capital acquired the clothing business that targets tall or larger consumers for US$525 million in December. At the time, financiers of the bid weren't disclosed, typical for most private equity transactions.
Pacific Equity Partners has received several bids for clothes hanger provider Braiform, which it acquired last year as part of its 724 million Australian dollar (US$741 million) takeover of Spotless Group, two people familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
Australian private equity firm PEP has run Braiform as a separate portfolio company with different management since the deal for Spotless closed in August. Financing attached to Braiform is also separate from Spotless.
Investec Ltd. would likely advise PEP on a sale on Braiform, one of the people said.
Australian startup StartHere is launching a Series A raising, targeting up to 2 million Australian dollars (US$2.05 million) to lay the foundation for growth.
Since launching its platform in September last year, StartHere has gained more than 57,000 members who have been attracted to a cashback incentive if they shop through the site. Cash is paid back to shoppers monthly by the startup and can range from between 1% to more than 11% of the total transaction value.
More than 1,200 merchants including Apple Inc.'s Apple Store, Dell, Marks & Spencer, Macy's, Amazon and Expedia are among the online retailers that pay StartHere a commission for every online transaction made through the site.
Citigroup Inc. analyst Craig Woolford reckons Billabong International could downgrade full-year earnings guidance when it delivers its first half result this Friday.
"We see risk the full-year guidance of 85 million Australian dollars (US$87 million) to A$92 million in Ebitda may be revised lower," the broker said in a note to clients, explaining that the surfwear retailer may seek to provide significant clarity about its earnings trends given two private equity-backed consortia are conducting due diligence.

21 year old man | San Antonio, TX, USA | Seeking men 18-45 within 50 miles
I am a curious youth with an old soul....
I am a curious youth with an old soul. Attracted to ambience and the lines in between. A person who notices subtleties. I love intellectual stimulation and those who question/have questioned their very own existence. I also love those who share a passion for music, and the arts in the many forms it comes. I have a thing for spontaneous car rides, sight-seeing, warm or cool java to accompany intellectual discussions, as well as much more intuitive adventure. Personally, I'm a very empathetic being who has a strong passion for people. I've dreamed so many dreams, and wonder if they'll ever come true. It seems many of them are out-of-reach in practical terms. I guess I should call these dreams "fantasies" instead, but what can I say? I'm an idealist. My soul knows no practicality, and rejects the day-to-day mundane matters. I live in a fantasy world. It's often put me in a misunderstood position by many, including my loved ones, but at last, they are learning to accept my intuitive, dreamy nature. My life ambition is to help manifest elements from the dream world into reality -- hello Fine Arts. Regarding love itself, I'm very cautious about who I get involved with. Various circumstances have forced me to have a strong wall up when it comes to the romance world. But I'm willing to give chances where they are due. Above all, I love meeting new people from all walks of life. Which is why I'm on here. xoxo

How to Reinstall Magento Without Re-uploading the Files
Last modified by kara on Thu, June 24, 2010 15:18Source|Old Revisions
Sometimes it is necessary to reinstall the Magento engine. This should be done, for example, when you are trying to install the template and the sample data after the Magento engine installation. In order to reinstall the Magento engine and the database from scratch you should do the following:
- Get access to your database using the PhpMyAdmin tool or some other one and drop all the tables. In case you can't drop some tables, empty them.
- Then, using your FTP client, open the magento root on your server and go to
app/etcfolder and delete the
- Finally, using your browser, go to the URL of your Magento store. Because local.xml is missing you'll see the Setup Wizard page so you can start the setup/configuration process.

SOCCER: Beamer grad Sean Okoli gets call from U.S. under-21 National Team

that sounds pretty cool. now is that the $99 netbook that has been listed at kmart?
Another update on custom recovery and rooting for the Genbook 108. Received all the image files from the manufacturers (recover.img, boot.img, system.img, update.zip) so now can start breaking them apart to see what's inside. Reinstalled boot.img using fastboot and have a working system again (so it's not bricked).
Does anyone else actually have a Genbook 108?

VAIL — Typically tranquil Gore Creek stole the show with a big-time performance at the annual Teva Mountain Games, doubling in volume overnight and swelling over its banks as kayakers and stand-up paddle (SUP) surfers rode the rowdiest whitewater ever seen at the 9-year-old adventure sports competition.
The Vail Whitewater Park put the world's top kayakers to the test as gushing snowmelt from the nearby Gore Mountain Range turned the river a muddy orange and carried trees, root balls and other debris into the competition wave. A low bridge ripped the paddle from one competitor's hand during practice and others suffered scratches to the face and hands from wood collecting in the eddies.
"The conditions were incredibly challenging," head judge Clay Wright said of the contest. "I've never seen Gore Creek this high. I thought we were going to see a mobile home floating through any minute."
Between dodging debris, Dustin Urban of Buena Vista landed a dizzying array of aerial "loops" and whirling "McNasty's" to top the men's competition with 590 points. Second place went to 16-year-old junior freestyle world champion Jason Craig of Reno, 90 points behind, followed by Casper Van Kalmouth of the Netherlands.
"It was probably the craziest finals I've ever participated in," Urban said. "Changing water levels are always a factor in kayaking, but not quite to the extreme they were today. The wave was always changing. We were all figuring it out as we went."
Perennial women's champion and reigning women's freestyle world champion Emily Jackson of Tennessee went from last to first in her final ride of the three-women women's finals, notching 260 points to top Australian Tanya Faux's 180 points. Paddling for Buena Vista's Colorado Kayak Supply, Haley Mills finished third with 140.
SUP sprint.
Hawaiian 15-year-old Noa Ginella was the top paddle surfer among the races' 40 starters, riding the rising river down the technical 3.5-mile course in 18 minutes, 15.53 seconds.
Kayak sprint.
Mike Dawson of New Zealand blazed the Gore Creek downriver race course in 15:38.34 to win.
Faux finished first among the women in 16:23.21, two days after claiming the steep creek title on Class V Homestake Creek.
Half marathon.
Mario Macias of Alamosa was the first man to the top of 10,200-foot Vail Pass, finishing the half-marathon race in 1:22.12. Megan Lund of Basalt claimed the women's division title in 1:39.37.
MTB cross country.
Reigning U.S. national champion Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski of Boulder successfully defended his title with a wire-to-wire win on the 21-mile off-road course on the flanks of Vail Mountain.
Horgan-Kobelski's wife and women's national champion, Heather Irmiger of Boulder, was third in the women's race, trailing winner Georgia Gould of Fort Collins and Katie Compton of Colorado Springs.

Rajan's was easily the most substantive speech by a RBI Governor on his first day in office.
Just two hours after the formal signing-in ceremony and a warm hug from his predecessor, Rajan got down to business in a manner that surprised everybody.
He unveiled a bold, new RBI with a slew of reforms, many of them focused on "protecting the value of money."
Rajan had not been expected to make specific policy changes on the day he was sworn into office, but he announced short-term measures.
"It involves considerable change, and change is risky," he said of his agenda in a televised news conference. "But as India develops, not changing is even riskier."
Among the measures he promised for coming months were that existing banks would be able to open new domestic branches without RBI permission and that long-awaited new banking licenses would be issued by January.
The central bank will also soon issue inflation-indexed savings certificates and take steps to encourage financial services for the poor, including making payments easier through mobile banking, he said.
He also pledged to improve the system for banks to recover bad loans by accelerating the work of debt recovery tribunals and asset reconstruction companies.
Rajan plans his first full policy address on September 20.
"Some of the actions I take will not be popular," he said, but added, "The governorship of the central bank is not meant to win one votes of Facebook 'likes.'"
Market participants were impressed that Rajan had set the ball rolling on his very first day at RBI with a series of announcements, raising expectations that more are in store.
"People are likely to take a great deal of confidence from his words and a lot of the volatility that we have seen in the rupee lately may not be seen in the future," Motilal Oswal of Motilal Oswal Securities said of the speech.
His full speech:
Why the speech
Good Evening.
I took charge this afternoon as the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India.
These are not easy times, and the economy faces challenges. At the same time, India is a fundamentally sound economy with a bright future.
Our task today is to build a bridge to the future, over the stormy waves produced by global financial markets. I have every confidence we will succeed in doing that.
Today I want to articulate some first steps, concrete actions we will take, as well as some intentions to take actions based on plans we will formulate.
Before I turn to specifics, let me repeat what I said on the day I was appointed.
The Reserve Bank is a great institution with a tradition of integrity, independence, and professionalism. I congratulate Dr Subba Rao on his leadership in guiding the bank through very difficult times, and I look forward to working with the many dedicated employees of the RBI to further some of the important initiatives he started. I have been touched by the warmth with which the RBI staff have welcomed me.
To the existing traditions of the RBI, which will be the bedrock of our work, we will emphasize two other traditions that become important in these times: transparency and predictability.
At a time when financial market are volatile, and there is some domestic political uncertainty because of impending elections, the Reserve Bank of India should be a beacon of stability as to its objectives. That is not to say we will never surprise markets with actions. A central bank should never say "Never"!
But the public should have a clear framework as to where we are going, and understand how our policy actions fit into that framework.
Key to all this is communication, and I want to underscore communication with this statement on my first day in office.

I just want to know how many people are gonna Trick or Treat for Halloween.
I just want to know how many people are gonna Trick or Treat for Halloween.
DURR! I mean its free candy!
the oc freak. <3*
I am! like fallout said FREE CANDY!
But all my friends said they grew out of it, so im going alone lol!
And guess what
my dad bought 6 boxes of candy and no one comes to my house- MORE CANDY!
Exactly why i'm not going is nobody comes to my house either.
Nobody Trick Or Treats around here and none of my friends go so I don't bother either, they are just gonna beg for my candy if I get some.
I'm going me and my friends are just gonna act stupid going around asking for candy in one of our neighborhoods.
My soccer couch HAS to have candy the practice after halloween so there's a main reason to go LOL that or 10 laps around the WHOLE feild >_< (alough i love running! )
Of course im going.. some of my friends dont go but i say to them i mean its ' free candy'!!! jeez who doesn't want free candy. LOL i dont even know what im going to be.
My friend didn't get a costume last year so they didn't give her candy, so she said she dressed up as a student...they actually bought it.
lol i just wear a tutu and animal ears
I am going to take my daughter trick or treating. She is just learning how and it is lots of fun. Then we get to eat most of the candy.
My VMK name is MissEmilyLouise and I love pink!!
Vic and I won't be Trick-Or-Treating this year because... well... we're a little old for that. But what we WILL be doing will be fun:
We will be in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for Halloween. We've done this a couple of years. In Mexico, they observe the "Day Of The Dead" where they honor their ancestors and spend the day at the cemetary. But, the American holiday of Halloween has not escaped their attention.
In town during the evening hours, tons of little kids will approach you and say, "Halloween!? Halloween!?" (The phrase, "Trick or Treat" hasn't quite made the leap to Mexico yet.) Of course, they expect candy. We've always bought whatever sweets we could get locally and passed them out. This year, we've stocked up on American mini-chocolate bars and will take these down to Puerto Vallarta in our luggage. I can't wait to present the local children with our sweet treats.
"Yesterday, a man walked up to me and said, 'Isn't it a shame that Walt Disney couldn't be here to see this?' and I said, "He did see this, that's why it's here."
-Art Linkletter July 17, 2005-
When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.
Nope for me. I'm going to a few parties.
Nope. I didn't ast year either. I sort of grew out of it I guess. Last year I sat around and did homework. My mom passed out the candy. I don't even do that. Usually I steal some from my sister when she drops her first load off, and also eat the little amount that's left at the end of the night.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.9 out of 5�by 58 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by soccerkid16 Primed net I am 16 years old and wanted a net to practice on. Now I knew that it would probably not hold up for that long so I have been shooting at about fourth of my full power. I had this net for a day before the bounce back ripped. Than another day before I completely tore a hole through it. I do not recommend this net. November 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by DD 3-in-1 soccer trainer I recently purchased a 3-an-1 soccer trainer. The set up was easy to manager and it looked great, but after about 2-3 weeks of use the blue rebounders target is starting to rip towards the bottom of the goal. My kids, ages 8,10,and 13 really like the goal by are disappointed that it has already ripped. I anticipate the entire blue target will come off for good since the rip is spreading. For $100, I am not sure I would recommend this product. September 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Mikeyv123 Reasonable This product has many pluses and minuses. The price was reasonable. The goals structure is sturdy and was easy to set up. It comes with a net that is attached with zip ties and after a few solid kicks of the ball, the zip ties broke off so we ended up replacing them within the first couple uses. The rebound portion of the goal is taught and fun for training. A big downside is that the goal is not foldable or portable. We store it standing up but it would be nice to throw in the car and head to the park. Overall it is a fun goal but I would probably consider another design when purchasing another goal in the future November 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by utnorge grandson loves it this is for a 12 year old who plays in a club. he thinks it has improved his game July 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by curtisch Great idea, very poor quality My son went through 2 of these in a matter of hours. Stitch finish is not well tied off & unravels. The fabric that attaches to the net tears. The net tears. Left one of them out for a couple nights and rust had started. Dicks is great at standing behind products. I exchanged the first one. I returned the second one after just a few days. I wish I could find something like this that was high quality. I'd be happy to pay 3x the cost just to get something that would hold up, even for a season or two July 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by soccermom Soccer trainer My son really likes this net - it is sturdy and he is able to really practice his shots. If there is any negative it is that it is not regulation size but I personally like it a little smaller to fit into the back yard. Just a note: It took 2 people to put it together and it took about 20 minutes. September 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Melissa93 This product is made for young kids I have 2 teenagers and an 8 year old and this is made for the 8 year old. The net is poor quality it ripped the first time my teenager kicked a ball into it. When I recieved the box it was open and some of the poles were bent into each other where the 2 pieces go together you can bend them back with your fingers that is how cheap the metal is. They don't fit together tight. The extra netting that came with it makes it good and tight but that is only for practicing your shot on goal. Save your money. August 5, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Soccer grandma Instructions wrong Instructions were wrong on the number of bungee cords needed on inside frame. In addition, the bolts do not tighten as instructions said. They are not the same type as illustrated on instructions September 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Taloniiload Soccer Trainer Good soccer goal and a good price! My 15-year old son loves it and so far it has stood up to his abuse. Easy to assemble! January 14, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by kerbdogs Poor quality Bought the net for son to practice during the summer. Not even two weeks later the entire bottom of the blue netting had ripped, making it no longer usable. Called to get a replacement and it is going to take 8-10 weeks to arrive. So a product we purchased for summer training is completely useless until after summer is over. Very disappointed in this product. July 8, 2014
