They're calling it Dave of Thrones.
The Foo Fighters returned to the stage for a 20th anniversary, July 4th special in Washington on Saturday night with Dave Grohl sitting up in a throne with his broken leg.
Rock and roll will never be dead so long as this man is setting the standard.
Grohl broke his leg on stage in Sweden a few weeks ago which led to several cancellations including headlining Glastonbury.

Rumors of a Beastie Boys live reunion show were ignited by the surviving members of the group Michael "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz filed for a Beastie Boys trademark with relation to "live performances by a musical group".
But now a representative for the band has reinforced the group's strong belief that they will never reform without Adam Yauch.
"There will never be Beastie Boys live performances without Adam Yauch," the rep told Rolling Stone.
Yauch passed away in 2012 after a long traumatic battle with cancer, and the Beastie Boys haven't played since, and apparently never will.
Yauch specified in his will that his music not be used in any advertisements, and both Diamond and Horovitz have been rigid in following these requests.
Recently the band sued Monster Energy Drink (and won) for $1.7 million for unauthorized use of their music, and was awarded an extra $668,000 to cover legal fees.
So who's going to fight for our right to party now?

It's Rolling Stone tradition to celebrate the best of the best from the first 6 months of releases for the year.
The internationally renowned music bible dubs one artist with the title of "Best Song Of 2015 So Far", and guess who's nabbed it this year?
Kanye? Taylor Swift? Foo Fighters?
Nope! This year Aussie up and comer Courtney Barnett scored it big with her debut single 'Pedestrian At Best'.
Straight off the back of her stellar US promo tour, Barnett has taken the international scene by the balls and is currently yanking hard.
"Courtney Barnett makes it sound so insultingly easy – why aren't there three or four rock & roll singer-songwriter records this loose and frisky and funny and stout-hearted every year? Maybe it's not that easy," wrote Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield. '
Thanks Rolling Stone for calling Pedestrian At Best the #1 song of the year so far...Posted by courtney barnett on Tuesday, June 30, 2015

For the first time in 11 years The Libertines, Pete Doherty and all, have released their fist single 'Gunga Din' off upcoming album Anthems for Doomed Youth.
The band, which split due to Pete Doherty's widely publicized struggles with addiction, got back together in 2010.
Doherty completed a stint at the Hope Rehab Center in Thailand last year, and has been leading a healthy life ever since, even raising funds to help others enter treatment at the facility himself.
The record's deluxe edition will even feature four bonus tracks recorded during Doherty's treatment at the Hope Rehab Centre.
"People are going to love it," Doherty told NME in an interview last month. "There's a miracle aspect to actually getting it done and all getting together to do it. We're all really proud of it."
"It's staggering that we've got to the point where we've actually got an imminent release for the fucking Libertines," added Carl Barât.
"Are you kidding me? Honestly, I'm still kind of pinching myself. Is this really going to happen? It's mental, but I guess it is."
Anthems for Doomed Youth is set to drop on September 4.
'Barbarians''Gunga Din''Fame and Fortune''Anthem for Doomed Youth''Heart of the Matter''Belly of the Beast''Iceman''You're My Waterloo''Fury of Chonburi''The Milkman's Horse''Glasgow Coma Scale Blues''Dead for Love'
DELUXE EDITION INCLUDES:'Love on the Dole' [Bonus]'Bucket Shop' [Bonus]'Lust of the Libertines' [Bonus]'7 Deadly Sins' [Bonus]
Tame Impala have been riding the wave of new album sneak-peeks over the past few weeks, dropping many an album preview on us in prep for the full release of Currents.
Battling a feisty legal battle in progress and a whole hoard of massive headlining sets at the moment, the Tame Impala boys have now come under fire over claims that single 'Cause I'm A Man' is overtly sexist.
The track was released earlier in the year as the first single release from forthcoming Currents, and has been interpreted by some as Parker blaming his debaucherous behavior on simply being a man.
In a recent interview with Stereogum, front man Kevin Parker dismissed the allegations, explaining his lyrics as "really meant to be interpreted more like 'I'm a man' as in 'I'm a human. I'm merely a man."
"I understanding how it can be perceived as sexist, almost misogynistic, but put it this way," he adds. "I know deep in my heart, I am not in any way sexist. And I knew there would be people who would think that. There was a small part of me that was excited about ruffling some feathers 'cause I never do that, you know? I'm not that kind of person."
Currents will be released on July 17.

So it turns out President Obama has ripping music tastes.
In a recent tweet treat, Obama gave a shout out to both Outkast and The Black Keys who featured on his morning playlist.
The Black Keys retweeted, asking "Can we use Air Force One for our upcoming gigs?".
Obama quickly quipping back that the boys should "come and play at the White House sometime instead."
So far The Black Keys haven't made any public reply, which has the music community in even more of a tizzy with secret White House gig rumors in the works!
Yeah man, being President has some mighty fine perks.

Last month Triple M reported that Marilyn Manson was in talks with Korn front man Jonathan Davis to do one weird collaboration.
But now in a recent Reddit AMA, Manson has revealed that this already confusing union is entering weirdness overdrive with news that the project will be "acoustic and Southern-sounding".
Davis is currently working on a country-western project with country outfit Big & Rich, so I guess that makes this direction a little less perplexing…?

Manson will also be embarking on at 23-city tour of North America with The Smashing Pumpkins from July to August, after a 20-year feud with Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan was spontaneously laid to rest earlier this year.
"There's a strong possibility of doing something with Billy Corgan while we're out on the road together," said Manson.
And 'Manson Goes Country' isn't his only odd project on the go at the moment, with Manson revealing in the AMA that "I did a couple songs with Johnny Depp recently before he left to go to Australia."
Looks like the Manson rollercoaster ride won't be ending anytime soon.

With one of the most consistent outputs of any indie-rock bands around, Kings Of Leon are on their way to releasing their 7th LP in in 15 years.
While catching up with radio station SiriusXM in the US, brothers Caleb and Nathan Followill unveiled the plans for the new album.
"We've been at home writing, trying to get some new stuff going," said Nathan.
"I think we're gonna be able to get the album written by the end of the year," he revealed.
The band have been scouting locataions to record including their studio in hometwon Nashville where they record their last LP, 2013's Mechanical Bull.
As of yet the band hasn't really commented on any particular sound the new album will be leaning towards.

Aussie rock royalty AC/DC is now on Spotify. For those about to rock (we salute you)! - http://bit.ly/ACDConSpotify
It's been a long time coming but fans of AC/DC will now be able to stream the band's full back catalog on various streaming services like Spotify, RDIO and the new Apple Music.
It shows a big move from the band who haven't been very trusting of digital platforms with their music only being released on iTunes 3 years ago, a rare move for the world's biggest rock group.
Up until recently Acca Dacca were holding to their guns but it's a coup for people who love being able to stream their music or have it in the cloud.
New album "Rock or Bust" is their new album to be sold digitally and has reportedly already sold 500,000 copies in the US alone.
It's been typical for larger rock acts such as Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd to hold off from the digital platforms, adopting them later on, with the bands usually citing that they prefer people to have to buy a whole album rather than download individual tracks.
The times they are a-changin'.

Sorry....no contest: Kanye West vs. Freddie MercuryWant more of the best classic rock? >> Q1043.COM/LISTENPosted by Q104.3 FM on Monday, June 29, 2015
Sorry....no contest: Kanye West vs. Freddie MercuryWant more of the best classic rock? >> Q1043.COM/LISTEN
Freddie Mercury, one of rock music's greatest front men with a voice that could shatter a pain of glass and jeans so tight it was like he was born in them.
So, when you hear about someone trying to cover Queen's iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody", in front of a British crowd no less, it doesn't sound like a smart move.
Enter, Kanye West, over-hyped rapper and pseudo-celebrity who usually only sings using auto-tune, thought this was a good idea during his recent headline set at Glastonbury.
We could go on, but this great little video by Q104.3FM (a New York radio station) says it all.
Freddie Mercury with the KO!

Mumford and Sons have had a long and prosperous relationship with Australia, we fell in love with the Brits right before the rest of the world cottoned on.

Saturday Nov 7 - The Riverstage Brisbane QLDWith special guests The Vaccines and Meg Mac
Thursday Nov 12 - Sidney Myer Music Bowl Melbourne VICWith guests Future Islands and The Vaccines
Special All Day Event Presented by Gentlemen Of The Road Saturday Nov 14 - The Domain Sydney NSWWith special guests Jake Bugg (Acoustic), Future Islands, The Vaccines, The Jungle Giants, Meg Mac, Art of Sleeping

With eight years between drinks people are starting to look forward to find out what a new Guns N' Roses album could sound like.
Well, with little news so far we've just received news from guitarist Richard Fortus who, in an interview with French publication VerdamMnis revealed that the band had enough material for "two to three albums".
Alongside Dizzy Reed while playing with the Dead Daisies, Fortus said that the band had been sharing music "back and forth" and that they were also "looking forward to getting at it seriously and release a new album as soon as possible."
However, despite the increasing desire to hear what the new material is going to sound like, the band, and it seems Axl especially is holding his cards close to his chest.
"We just don't know it yet. Only Axl knows and he's very secretive. Be patient!" Reed responded to questions about a release date.
Until then, you can remember the magic that is the onstage antics of Axl in this video below.

Comments Thread For: DiBella Discusses Sergio Martinez's Options 160 and 154
We recently welcomed Lou DiBella to The Boxing Lab, BoxingScene.com's official audio show. The rambunctious promoter gave us his take on the future of Sergio Martinez who in his last fight came from behind on the scorecards and knocked out Mathew Macklin on St. Patrick's Day. DiBella said that his fighter always aims to please the fans and doesn't mind rolling the dice inside of the ring. [Click Here To Read More]

One of the best if not the best athlete right now... No amateur background, started boxing late, exciting to watch, can punch and can take a punch... what more can u ask for in boxing? I don't know how people can really hate on this guy. Sergio is all we need in boxing! hope he gets the shot and KchavezTFO...
Dibella sounds really stupid in here!!
"they should move up in weigh to fight sergio"... Why don't Sergio moves up to 168? There are some really good fights there to make

I agree with everything else you said though. Sergio widely recognized as being higher on the "p4p" ratings than anyone above him, along with being a bigger name than Ward imo (Bute has a marketable name in his country, and a big following so gotta give him that), so it really makes no sense for him to be the one moving up. They should move down for him, the same way Martinez is willing to move down for Floyd and at one point, Pac. Ward has put in work at 168, but they were all fights he should have won and he still hasn't beat the other "top" guy in the division.

Why does DiBella insist on kissing Floyd's a$$ and insisting he'll take the Martinez fight when it's obvious, even to a layman, that Floyd would NEVER in a MILLION YEARS fight Sergio Martinez? Seriously, is DiBella moonlighting for Floyd, trying to improve his credibility? Surely he knows Floyd won't fight a beast like Martinez. After Cotto, in all likelihood, he's returning to 147 lbs. Keep dreaming, Lou, but sucking up to Jr makes you look like an amateur.

Ironically, there is a large segment of mutants that want others to believe that Mayweather has ducked every legitimate challenge throughout his career. Yet, Team Martinez has completely given up on a fight with Pacquaio, who is supposedly a take-on-all-comers warrior and have their hopes set on Mayweather, who supposedly won't fight anyone with a pulse.

Just got back from almost a week in Arizona watching the Az Fall League. Not a great group there for Reds. But did get my first glimpses of Greene and Puckett.
But I made a point to hit the 3 ballparks I've never seen, so that I could compare them. Here's my rankings of all the parks:
1. Rockies/DBacks. (Scottsdale - on Indian Reservation) Brand new facility, and it is awesome. The stadium itself is the crown jewel. With a huge HD screen, mutiple levels, luxury boxes, etc. The concourses are huge. I've never seen dugout like these. They must be 50 feet deep. One of the best non-ML stadiums I've ever seen. Maybe THE best.
2. Dodgers/White Sox. (Glendale) A close second. I didn't think anyone would top them, but the stadium itself isn't quite as grand as Rockies/DBacks. The surrounding training area is quite nice here with streams etc.
Fairly big gap........
3. Rangers/Royals (Surprise) - Really nice stadium, 2 levels, nice facades. I have a feeling the practice areas are more utilitarian then the best ones. Biggest complaint: You have to park behind CF and walk all the way around to Home Plate
4. Mariners/Padres (Peoria) - single level stadium but with nice facades. Park at home plate, training facilities are nice.
Fairly big gap......
5. Reds/Indians (Goodyear) - new single level stadium but it seems like it was done on a tight budget. For example, no facade. The inside walls are unfinished concrete block. Unlike all the other dual facilities, the two training camps are not on either side of the stadium. Instead the Reds offices, and training fields are down the road quite a way.
Fairly big gap.... (from this point the stadiums are older)
6. Angels - (Tempe). Nice looking outside of stadium, but inside is fairly plain, and has large sections of bleacher seats.
small gap..... these stadiums seem really old
7. A's Phoenix - Single level, many bleachers. A scoreboard that looks like it's from a High School with funding issues. I didn't even see where the training facilities were. Needs major update.
8. Giants (Scottsdale). Again an aging single level stadium, with many bleachers, training facilities elsewhere.
9. Cubs (Mesa) - I'll never go to another Spring Training game there. Traffic was murder, moderately crappy area, just to sit in bleachers. Didn't see where training facilities were.
10. Brewers (Maryvale). Bad area of town. A real "nothing" single level stadium, with tiny scoreboard, and bleachers.
Hoenestly 7-10 really need an upgrade. I think the Cubs are working on one.

The village sits along a narrowing vein of the Rio Negro, a tributary of the mighty Amazon.
But I had to find my way into another passion, and with the art, it was a river flowing into a tributary.
late 14c., "paying tribute," from Latin tributarius "liable to tax or tribute," from tributum (see tribute). The noun sense of "one who pays tribute" is recorded from early 15c. Meaning "stream that flows into a larger body" is from 1822, from the adjective, which is recorded from 1610s in this sense.

It's that time of year again when hot weather fuels the creation of ozone, or smog. Some pesticides emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to ozone formation. Using pesticides that release VOCs may be restricted in certain California locations between May 1 and October 31.
If you plan to apply a pesticide, use the Department of Pesticide Regulation's VOC calculators to determine emissions from fumigant and nonfumigant pesticides. You can get to the calculation site by going to the UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines: Citrus, click on a pest link and scroll down to the treatments. Click on the Air Quality button at the top of the treatment table.
Simple steps can minimize the release of VOCs into the air:
- Use pesticides only when necessary.
- Decrease the amount of pesticide applied if appropriate.
- Choose low-emission management methods.
- Avoid emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations and fumigants.
Ozone, or smog, is caused by mixing VOCs, nitrogen oxide, and sunshine. High levels of ozone can harm people and crops. Regions in California that do not meet federal or state air quality standards for ozone, called nonattainment areas, may restrict the use of pesticides that release VOCs.
Brigade WSB insecticide applied to skirt-pruned citrus trees is very important for preventing Fuller rose beetles from climbing the trunks and laying eggs on the fruit. FMC updated their 2ee trunk treatment recommendation to improve the explanation of how to properly apply the chemical to the trunk. Using the least amount of water possible provides more concentrated and longer lasting protection. However, concentration needs to be balanced with sprayability and avoiding contact with fruit. http://www.fmccrop.com/grower/Products/Labels-MSDS.aspx
A meeting was held in Visalia on June 17 on the subject of protecting citrus fruit against egg-laying by Fuller rose beetle. Fuller rose beetle is extremely difficult to kill- the adults are built like tanks, live forever, and can go weeks without feeding. Foliar applications of Sevin, Actara and Kryocide work the best to kill adults, but no insecticide treatment kills all of them. The larvae are underground so they are difficult to treat. The eggs have a thick outer shell that protects them from insecticides and they are tucked under the button of the fruit. Because foliar insecticides are not very effective, the best line of defense against the pest is preventing it from ever reaching the trees. To accomplish this, a two step approach is the best strategy. First, skirt prune the trees up at least 24" so the branches don't touch the ground. This forces the flightless beetles to climb the trunk to get to the leaves. The next step is to block them from climbing the trunk by applying Brigade WSB in a thick band around the trunk. (See our web site for more details on how to build a spray wand to treat tree trunks http://ucanr.edu/sites/KACCitrusEntomology/Home/Fuller_Rose_Beetle_384/Management_36/) The Brigade repels the beetles and if they cross it, paralyzes them. The best treatment is the 0.5 lb AI/acre rate. The current 2ee allows only one treatment of this rate. CCQC hopes to obtain a 24c special registration, in the near future, that allows two treatments of this rate. The Brigade lasts 12-16 weeks and so a treatment applied in June and one in September will protect the trees from more than 90% of the beetle emergence. Foliar treatments could also be applied to provide a further level of protection. Research is underway to study the efficacy of these methods and to develop a post harvest treatments to replace Methyl Bromide fumigation, which is no longer allowed in Korea.

For citrus growers: The Citrus Pest and Disease Prevention Program (CPDPP) has created a very helpful web site called the "CPDPP Citrus Insider" to update growers on Asian citrus psyllid issues. It has news information, maps, quarantines and updates by region. Check it out and sign up for automatic updates. http://www.citrusinsider.org/
For homeowners: UC IPM updated their Asian citrus psyllid quick tip. It provides information for homeowners about the symptoms of the psyllid and disease, what to do if they think thay have the psyllid, and how to manage it in their yards. Great information to pass on to friends and relatives. The quick tip cards can be obtained from your local cooperative extension office or printed off of the web. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/QT/asiancitruscard.html

Happiness is everything. We all need to love and be loved. Share each other passions and inspirations and never stop believing in yourself
Wanting to meet someone that loves life and wants to take on the world with me. I guess I would say I'm a dreamer but I strive to turn dreams into reality. I never take "no" for an answer.

I appreciate the finer things in life but at the same time I love the simple things. I can adapt to almost any situation and I'm very respectful. I love to laugh, have fun and be goofy. Life's to short to be serious all the time. Cuddling and sharing time together are some of my favorite things to do. I do like going out and having a great time socializing with friends.

Remarkable 1796 Eagle, AU551796 $10 AU55 NGC. Breen-6832, Taraszka-6, BD-1, R.4. The only known die pair for coinage of 1796. Mint delivery records indicate that 2,795 eagles were coined in 1795, followed by 6,934 in 1796, but that fails to explain why 1795 had five different die marriages, compared to just one die marriage for 1796. The obvious and simple explanation is that some of the 1795 varieties were actually coined in 1796. The total of 9,729 coins delivered in the two years yields an average of 1,621 coins per die marriage.
We disagree with the mintages reported in the Guide Book and elsewhere for the Small Eagle tens. The Guide Book reports 5,583 eagles coined for 1795, 4,146 for 1796, and 3,615 for 1797, suggesting that those mintages are the actual total of coins bearing those dates. For those same dates, NGC and PCGS have combined to certify 370 dated 1795, 139 dated 1796, and 50 dated 1797. Based on a comparison of Mint delivery records and current population totals, we feel that the actual approximate mintages were: 8,875 coins dated 1795, struck from September 22, 1795 through June 21, 1796; 3,320 coins dated 1796, struck from December 22, 1796 until April 20, 1797; and 1,149 coins dated 1797, struck on May 2, 1797.
The 1796 eagles featured an unusual star layout, with eight stars to the left and eight to the right. In 1795, 15 stars were arranged 10 left and five right, in 1797 for the Small Eagle coins, the stars were arranged 12 left and four right, and in 1797 for the Heraldic Eagle coins, stars were arranged with 10 left and six right. All remaining eagles had 13 stars on the obverse.(Registry values: P6) (NGC ID# 25ZW, PCGS# 8554)

First-quarter net sales in the U.S. reached euro 2,165 million, down 3.3%. This decrease reflected the impact of generics of Lovenox®, Ambien®CR, and Taxotere® which was partially offset by the successful launch of Allegra® OTC (euro 80 million) and strong growth of Lantus®, Multaq®, Jevtana® and Merial.
Western Europe recorded net sales in the first quarter of euro 2,251 million, a decrease of 13.5% and were impacted by generic competition to Plavix® (-46.6%) and Taxotere® (-61.3%) and austerity measures.

OpenGL apps crash - FreeBSD 6.2/9631
I looked through existing posts and didn't find anything helpful. If I missed something I apologize.
Anyway, I have a system with a GeForce2 MX 100/200. I've used this previously with FreeBSD 5.x and 7174 with no problems. Recently I set up a new system with FreeBSD 6.2, the same video card, same monitor, and same xorg.conf. I discovered that I now needed to use driver 9631, so I downloaded NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9631 and installed that. Everything seems to be ok, including xdpyinfo and glxinfo. Nvidia-settings works fine, as well as glxgears, but every other OpenGL application crashes immediately with a segmentation fault. The final item in a back trace is:
#1 0x28878250 in _nv001238gl () from /lib/libGLcore.so.1
I tried removing kernel agp support and including
Option "NvAGP" "1"
in xorg.conf, but that didn't change anything. The old system was SMP and so is the new one, if that's significant.
It just occurred to me that perhaps something that happened during the install might be a clue: I originally tried installing 7174 and discovered that it didn't work with 6.x, I downloaded 9746 and installed that. However, when I tried starting X, I discovered that that version didn't have support for my card. Then I downloaded and installed 9631. Is it possible that there's something from 9746 still hanging around causing this?

Written by: Lya Navarra Contributing Editor | Sam Villa®
What is asymmetry in terms of hair cutting? It is simply a true diagonal line from short to long or long to short, that's it! Let's discuss a powerful and easy technique for cutting the front of your Bob into an asymmetrical line, AND, take the 'guessing game' of how long or short it needs to be! This is a snap and you are going to want to use this technique from now on!
- Once you have everything square, go to the front section that you want to be left longer.
- Stand on that side of the head, place the fine teeth of your cutting comb into the back section, bringing the longer front section into your comb.
- Slide the comb down until you reach the shorter length of the back section. You now have one section – some from the shorter back and all of the uncut longer front.
- Now, simply bring the entire section around to the back. Using your corner as your guide, cut a horizontal line across the front section. When you release, the angle will be there for you! No more guessing! If you find you have a small gap between the back and front, simply go in freehand and clean it up.
There you have it! We love to find different and easier ways of doing the same thing, don't we? Especially if it will save us time!
Now you try it…and let us know how you make out! Come back and leave your comments here or on Facebook! Do you want to learn a modern version of the classic bob? Check out Sam Villa's First DVD from The Aspire Tour Series, "BOBology." Watch the video above to see how Sam Villa cuts an asymmetrical bob without cutting a diagonal line!

Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu Wednesday warned Nigerians not to be complacent against Ebola virus disease, saying the battle against the disease is not yet over.
The minister had on Tuesday said Nigeria had one active case of the infectious Ebola virus.
But while briefing State House correspondents at the end of Federal Executive Council(FEC) meeting jointly with Power Minister, Chinedu Nebo, Chukwu said though Nigeria has successfully contained Ebola virus, it has not eliminated the disease
"As we speak, there is a case we are still managing. And even that case we are still managing must also have had her own 3rd degree contacts, many of whom are part of this number of people that are under surveillance.
"So until we give a clean bill of health to every contact, we cannot even say we have eliminated the disease" he stressed.
While noting that Nigeria remains at risk to Ebola, Chukwu added that "we will only stop being at risk when the very last case of Ebola virus disease under this current epidemic has gone".

I get to go to some strange and exotic places in the course of researching my stories for Flight International, but it looked as though I was going to have to make a rare step into the political arena next month to report on an interesting-looking aerospace event in the UK.
I received an invitation from the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC) to attend a joint meeting with the Amicus trade union as a side – or "fringe" – event to next month's Labour Party Conference in Manchester. Unfortunately the invitation – which concerned a debate on the UK's Defence Industrial Strategy to include a presentation by defence secretary Des Browne – arrived too late for me to register ahead of a 28 July party deadline to sign up for free media accreditation.
Well that's a nuisance, I thought, but as such deadlines are usually only there for guidance I reckoned it would probably only be a small fee for me to sign up a few weeks late. A quick call to Labour's conference unit soon put that belief in its place though: "Ah yes, but as you're signing up late there's a registration fee of 」360," I was told. After a bit of expert haggling I was instead offered a fringe-only pass at a knock-down rate of just 」230. "We're having to absorb increased administration costs this close to the event," the official on the other end of the line told me. No kidding!
But resilience is an important part of journalism, so I tried another avenue within the party machine and have received some good news – I can now go to the event, and at a much cheaper rate of only 」36! There's just one catch to this opportunity though: to take advantage of this give-away rate I would actually be required to join the Labour Party.
I have a fundamental problem with this proposal though: the party website tells me that signing up by direct debit will "save the Party 」5 a year which can be spent on campaigning, not admin". Now I know Labour has the small matter of a 」27 million ($50 million) hole in its finances to concern itself with, but I really don't think that trying to encourage reporters to compromise their journalistic integrity is the right way for it to cover its debt.
So with apologies to the SBAC and Amicus, this is one party that I'm not interested in attending. But I'd better not say too much here, because if the events at Labour's conference in Brighton last year are anything to go by (remember the rough treatment afforded to 82 year-old Walter Wolfgang?), then heckling could still be dangerous�

Kölnisch Wasser by Farina Gegenüber
Farina Gegenüber has a long proud history. Johann Maria Farina was the first person to market his hesperidic light fragrant water as Eau de Cologne and fortuituous circumstances (a new philosophy of scent rejecting older animalic styles, the French presence in the Rhineland), sound marketing and last but not least the quality of his product made Farina Gegenüber synonymous with Eau de Cologne for 200 years. After a persistent decline in the 20th century leading to co-ownership by a mass market producer of beauty products in the 1980s, the company was bought back by Johann Maria Farina and his brother in the 1990s and reestablished as a niche house. Farina is a trained pharmacist and perfumer and believes in the necessity of adapting the original formula to present expectations, besides having to conform to regulations and being unable to employ natural musk for reasons of scarcity. The formulation has apparently undergone a number of changes - an older bottle listed hydroxycitronellal, a popular synthetic providing a greenish lindenblossom note, and other synthetics, which have disapperead in the most recent INCI declaration. As a whole, however, the fragrance is still far removed from a natural, more short-lived Eau de Cologne, though it still far superior to the ghastly cocktail of low-end materials that goes by the name of 4711. I enjoy the bergamot opening, but don't find what the ionones add in power and persistence to be particularly pleasant - it is simply too reminiscent of the standard building blocks of mass market perfumery. My four stars, then, are given for the vintage Farina from ca. 1955 I own, which is a completey different creature - a light bergamot and citrus with delicate, whispering undertones of florals, woods and musk that fades within the hour. I'd welcome it if Farina decided to return to the original formulation to produce something as beautiful as Lorenzo Villoresi's Acqua di Colonia.

The Group of 30 outlines radical reforms it deems necessary to strengthen the global financial systemWASHINGTON, DC - "The pervasive and deep-rooted financial crisis has amply demonstrated that our financial system is broken and it requires thorough-going repair," says Paul Volcker, chairman of the trustees of the Group of Thirty (G-30).
A report released today entitled 'Financial reform - A framework for financial stability' includes four core and 18 specific recommendations that aim to strengthen the oversight and stability of the systemically important financial institutions largely responsible for maintaining the market infrastructure. The first recommendation emphasises the need for the largest and most complex banking organisations to be subject to particularly close regulation and supervision, meeting high and common international standards. The G-30 says these institutions should be restricted in undertaking proprietary activities that present particularly high risks and serious conflicts of interest.
Much of the report concerns the governance, operations, regulation and supervision of banks but capital market participants, including hedge funds and equity funds, would also be required to meet higher standards of transparency, paying greater attention to capital, liquidity and risk management practices.
Attention is also directed to the practices of credit rating agencies, settlement and clearance arrangements for derivatives, approaches towards common international accounting standards and the treatment of fair value accounting, and the need for closer international co-operation and co-ordination. The report calls for the creation of a framework for national level consolidated prudential regulation and supervision over all large insurance companies in countries where such a structure is lacking - namely the US.
The report also proposes that an appropriate prudential regulator be designed for large investment banks and broker-dealers not organised as bank holding companies. It states there are compelling grounds for the regulation of hedge funds, and it also recommends increased supervision of money-market mutual funds and a variety of other private pools of capital.
Arminio Fraga, the G-30 steering committee's vice-chairman, founding partner at Gavea Investimentos and former governor of Banco do Brasil, says: "The report recommends a series of significant reforms. On the prudential side, they include the regulatory treatment of the so-called parallel banking system, the role of the central bank in maintaining financial stability, and the need to improve information standards and to regulate over-the-counter derivatives markets. Given the pervasive failures in risk management in financial institutions, the report also emphasises the role of proper governance and incentives, including the important link between risk taking and compensation systems. Lastly, on the crisis management side, the report focuses on how far the access to lender-of-last-resort facilities should go, and on the importance of having in place a proper resolution mechanism for failed financial institutions."
The G-30 stresses that the recommended regulatory policies and accounting standards should guard against procyclical effects and are consistent with maintaining prudent business practices. The report also states that regulatory capital standards should be enhanced and benchmarks for bank capital raised.
A host of recommendations in the report are based on the key conclusion that financial markets and products must be made more transparent, with better-aligned risk and prudential incentives. The report adds that the infrastructure supporting such markets must be more robust and resistant to potential failures of even large financial institutions. Several sections of the report emphasise that, given the global nature of the markets, it is essential that there be consistent regulatory frameworks on an international scale, and national regulators should share information and enter into appropriate co-operative arrangements with authorities of other countries responsible for overseeing activities.
The report also proposes strengthening the role of central banks. In countries where the central bank is not the prudential regulator, the G-30 recommends central banks should have: (i) a role on the governing body of the prudential and markets regulator(s); (ii) a formal review role with respect to proposed changes in key prudential policies, especially capital and liquidity policies as well as margin arrangements; and (iii) the supervisory role in regard to the largest systemically significant firms, as well as critical payment and clearing systems.

Emerald meets with Prince Diamond and Prince Saffire in the future. She outlines her plan to catch Rini to them. Saffire feels the power of the Black Crystal is enough and they should disregard Rini. Diamond summons Wiseman and Wiseman tells them the Black Crystal will never be supreme so long as the Silver Crystal exists. Rini is in bed with a fever. Serena is worried and the girls stay by her bedside. The Luna Ball levitates over her and projects a hologram from its eyes of the legendary Sailor Pluto. She asks the Scouts to enter Rini's dream and remove the foreign essence that has infected them. The dream is of the future and a crystalline palace that lies in ruin. Rini doesn't recognize them and runs off. Her flight leads her to Emerald's droid and she dodges its scythe. The Scouts attack the droid and Rini runs off again. Sailor Moon catches Rini and convinces her she wants to help. Rini leads her to her mother, trapped in eternal sleep in a force bubble. Luna and Artemis summon Sailor Moon to help the Scouts. She attacks the droid, to no effect. The Droid splits the ground, but Sailor Moon catches Rini before she falls, and she destroys the droid while holding Rini. The scouts return to reality. Rini awakens and recognizes the hologram as "Puu". Rini begs to return to the future, but Pluto asks her to stay, for the NegaMoon has a new attack planned on Crystal Tokyo. Serena consoles her.
