Jay Z's not just a rapper and he's more than a businessman (or a business, man); he's a cultural force. From Rocawear to marrying Beyonce, from selling a million copies of an album before it's released to a subliminal shout-out from a Presidential candidate.
We could talk about his Livestreamed concert at SxSW last year, or his fledgling sports agency, but for right now, let's focus on Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film which will be premiering on HBO tonight at 11pm eastern. Here's a taste:
As a fan of Jay Z, and an HBO subscriber, I'm certainly planning on tuning in. As a marketer, and Content Advisory Board member to the 2nd Screen Society, I'm intrigued by the possibilities. HBO and Jay Z are both rightly lauded as innovators in their respective fields. This seems like a perfect opportunity for going beyond the traditional and extending the experience to a mobile device or tablet.
Marketing strategist Rob Fields thinks it's a missed opportunity: "Since it's only 11 minutes, HBO should make it available on HBO GO for, say, $1.99. Whatever the price is, it would open up the viewing legally to a whole new audience. They'd get the revenue and the consumer data, which is probably more important. It'd be a huge prospect list."
This sort of content, from an innovative thinker like Jay Z is ripe for something like a 2nd screen experience. I spoke with several 2nd screen industry innovators to get their take on what they'd like to see, or what they would have recommended:
Jeremy toeman, CEO Dijit media: "In this era with such rich apps and a huge, excited, engaged, and obviously mobile, fan base, seems like there's a lot more to offer an audience. From alternate camera angles to making of/extra footage to interactive social experiences, it seems like a great second screen opportunity!"
Aaron Williams, Founder/CEO of SocialSamba: "The most exciting part of the whole concept for me was seeing the fans,
participating in and recording their experience with the performance. Think about it this way – it would only take 14 different fans hitting record to rack up a thousand different takes, angles and perspectives for every second of that song. That's a pile of content that begs to be mashed up by amateur fans and pro remixers alike. There's a kick-ass startup called Switchcam that does exactly this kind of syncing across multiple fan cams to allow everyone to mashup their favorite take on a shared experience (like concerts and weddings). Jay should give them a call and put all that content to great use."
Gitamba Saila-Ngita, Chief Innovation Strategist at Deft Collective had a different take: "If you'd seen the process of creating the video you'd know that Jay Z spent almost 8 hours performing the song as "performance art" to random strangers and celebrities, with some joining in. Somewhere in that process a second screen experience should have been born that would enhance the experience when viewing the content on mobile or tablets. I think adding second screen to this [the HBO presentation] would be purely novel and nothing quite innovative or ground breaking. That said, it could explain why this is being pushed as something you have to watch on our downtime Sunday night."
Rob Fields counters, "The second screen experience could be interesting. Remember that Jay filmed 6 hours, so there's a lot of footage that could be teed up. Point at which audiences on laptops, tablets and phones could go deeper. They should definitely offer bios and video perspectives on the other artists that Jay included. For example, I'm only broadly familiar with Marina Abramovic, and the broader population may be less so. Also, do they have footage of Jay talking about why he chose the other artists? It'd be great to hear his own words on this. A win for HBO would be to have the 2nd screen experience be incredibly immersive so that you'd stay on the HBO site long after those 9 minutes were up."
Rather than from purely the content aspect, I look at it from a brand opportunity point of view. Jay Z's deal with Samsung, the one that allowed Samsung mobile owners to download the new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, a few days early – the one that got Jay Z a million sales before the album proper even dropped – was criticized for certain privacy related issues. Could providing those consumers with exclusive 2nd screen content to the HBO program have been a nice apology or surprise and delight bonus? Perhaps. What about Pace Gallery, where Jay Z did his 6-hour performance art piece? Surely a 2nd screen experience highlighting the gallery or the history of performance art would have made sense.
As many above noted, there is a lot of material to work with and perhaps we'll see it come to life at a future date. In the meantime, we'll watch tonight and wonder what might have been.

[Verse 1]
Mic check; 1, 2, on the way to 3rd
Flow sick; put a straight jacket on my words
So sick, they think there's something in the herb
They think I'm gone, but I'm fine like a woman's curves
My personality is far from your reality
I'm closer to your girl, now come on ho don't embarrass me
There is no comparison, this right here be kerosene
Carousel, parasail, I'm higher than everything
What I spit you can't drink it like your 17
I can show a million pair of eyes that they've never seen
And I can do this in whatever the weather brings
Picasso couldn't paint a better scene, colossal
Now give me the mic and I'll rock like a fuckin fossil
I'm mad at the track, and I'll beat it like Hector Camacho
What's poppin?
What it do? What's happenin'? What's crackin'? Que Pasa?
The hospital, mi casa su casa
Bad. I'm rad, and these niggas just squares like plaid
And if they're cool, then I'm cold
I gets money all day like the toll, bitch
I'm raw (x8)
I got my brim low all I can see the flo' (x2)
I'm raw (x8)
I'm bout to murder this shit (x2)
[Verse 2]
Im a BET soldier, an MTV gangsta
I will be on VH1 when I'm done being famous
Explain shit, I have made my way
And you are just a stain bitch you will fade away
And I only leave my house to paper chase
Yep, off to the jungle, where I feel safe
Like a homerun in the bottom of the 9th inning
And I'm fresh like I'm by Mennen
I'm on the clock like 5 minutes
Tryin' to get passed the line of scrimmage, yeah
And before I leave her thighs spinnin'
She give me face first like she done dived in it
And if she tall I can climb in it
I usually don't have a time limit
And eatin pussy ain't a crime is it?
If so, I should start working on my jail visits, you know
I'm in the game they just sell tickets
Man I got old bread like stale biscuits
You feeling froggy all you gotta do is yell ribbit
Turn ya ass to a statue like an exhibit
Now lets get it, let me at 'em
Leave my cage open
With no pyro I leave the stage smokin'
Yes, It's Weezy F. bitch
The best thing since breath bitch
[Verse 3]
It go uptown uptown operation shut down
Wake up to polices, go to sleep to the gun sounds
And you're not a gorilla you're a dead monkey
Cuz I got a banana clip in these red monkeys
What you said? Don't be afraid to say it twice
And they say life is cheap - until you pay the price
Its just like shakin' dice, better hope you roll a winner
And if you are a rat, your'e just a cobras dinner
Ya'll ain't fuckin with me, you niggas under a G
Like the light part of my feet
And so what them niggas left me
When it get cold I turns into Wayne Gretsky
I do's it like it never been done
So you can suck my dick with an elephant's tongue

Video: Pumpkin Hill fire now 90 percent contained
Video: Pumpkin Hill fire nearly contained
Video: Fire leaves residents stranded on island's north side
Get the FCN APPS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A fire that began as a 70-acre prescribed burn on Tuesday at the Pumpkin Hill Preserve State Park and grew to 400 acres is now 90 percent contained.
Crews are mopping up hot spots with water and blading fire lines with bulldozers, according to Annaleasa Winter with the Florida Forest Service.
The crews include four Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department engines, two JFRD brush trucks, six Florida Park Service brush trucks, Winter said.
Seventeen JFRD personnel, six Florida Forest Service personnel and 12 Florida Park Service personnel are also on scene.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office encouraged residents on Black Hammock Island to stay inside their homes Wednesday afternoon.
One concern is low visibility on the road. A First Coast News crew on the scene reported it was difficult to see traffic and the surrounding conditions.
The fire started around noon Tuesday while the Florida Park Service was doing a prescribed burn on the reserve.
Initially, the fire was controlled to 70 acres, but authorities said weather caused the flames to spread to roughly 400 acres.
Mike Work, a supervisor with the Florida Forest Service, said Wednesday morning the same amount of acreage is still burning.
All lanes of Cedar Point Road are also back open, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Work said crews overnight had help from moist conditions and that the weather is more favorable to putting out the flames Wednesday.
Firefighting efforts are continuing with assistance from the Florida Forest Service, the JFRD and the Salvation Army.

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
One of the few triple-distilled single malts in Scotland, in May of 2008, Auchentoshan (pronounced 'OKKen-TOSHan') went through a revamp; bottle labels were altered, the range was changed and the visitor centre was renovated. The origins of the distillery are quite shrouded, it originally started life under the name 'Duntocher', which was first mentioned around the turn of the nineteenth century. In 1834, it was renamed Auchintoshan, taking from the Gaelic 'achad oisnin' or 'corner of the field'. Geographically, it lies only just within the Lowlands and, although a Lowlander, Auchentoshan's water source – near the Cochna Loch in the Kilpatrick Hills, is, in fact, in the Highlands. During the Second World War, bombing on the Clydebank shipyards, which lie in close proximity, left the distillery greatly damaged with a substantial loss of spirit. In 1948, reconstruction began and the distillery was also given the new, modern spelling 'Auchentoshan'. In 1984, the distillery was bought by Morrison Bowmore, which itself became a subsidiary of the Japanese company Suntory a decade later. None of the current range is peated, and at the heart lies the 2008 release, 'Classic', an eighteen year-old and 'Three Wood'; matured in Oloroso, Pedro Ximinez Sherry and Bourbon casks.

Clippers 102, New Jersey 101
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 01/25/07, 11:29pm:
- Cassell dribbles right, guarded by Marcus Williams. At 7.1 he gets a high screen way beyond the top of the arc from Elton. Mobley dives toward the right post. Maggette, who is there, slides left along the baseline.
- Cassell fakes left - away from the screen - then, at 6.3, switches course, right, around the screen to get Jason Collins on the mismatch.
- At 5.1, Williams recovers nicely and picks up a penetrating Cassell.
- For whatever reason, Vince Carter decides to leave the perimeter at 4.2, and double Sam as he enters the lane, even though almost every red jersey on the floor - Nachbar and Collins [who has left Brand at the left elbow[1]] included - has collapsed on Sam.
- At 3.2, with Carter in his path, Sam kicks it out to Mobley, who is all alone at the right garden spot, a millimeter beyond the arc.
- Mobley sets and, at 2.5 he elevates, left hand cocked. The ball leaves his hands at 2.2.
- With 1.0, the ball drops through the hoop, landing on the floor at 0.6.
Crazy as it sounds, the Clippers are lucky to tip away the Nets' inbounds play. Kidd lobs the inbound pass directly to the hoop. Carter muscles behind Ross and tips it against the back iron. The Clips get out alive.
All in all, the Clippers turned in a hellacious second half performance and probably deserved to lose the game. After Sam put the Clippers ahead by eight with 6:52 in the fourth, the Clippers go 1-12 until Mobley hits the winner. Of the 11 misses, seven are jump shots from 16 feet and beyond.
Meanwhile, a nationally televised home game is when you're supposed to straighten up the place - stack the magazines on the coffee table, tidy up the den, make sure there's an un-groady soap in the bathroom. So what do the fans in the lower bowl do? The friggin' wave, initiated just as Maggette is about to shoot two from the line. Dignify much?
[1] It's interesting, because EB is wide - and I mean wide - open at his favorite spot, the left elbow, and there's absolutely nobody in the passing lane. Was the play designed for Cat? Did Sam want to go for the win when he saw Cat all alone beyond the arc?

Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua
by John Henry Newman
Enter your search query for this book.

Page loading...
John Henry Newman was converted to
Christianity at age 15 and developed views close to
Calvinism in his early life. He was ordained an Anglican
priest after attending Oxford, and became the leader of
the Oxford Movement, a push to return to Catholic roots in Anglicism.
After much debate, he resigned from the Church of England and later
converted to Catholicism, where he was appointed Cardinal. This
interesting turn of events and roller-coaster of emotion is related in
Newman's autobiography, Apologia Pro Vita Sua ("a defense of
life"). He was prompted to write the book after what he felt to be
unfair accusations were levied against him. It is, indeed, a spiritual
autobiography, detailing Newman's religious opinions over the course of
his life. The Cardinal's story is regarded on the same level as St.
Augustine's Confessions, and almost any reader will develop
Newman's zealous apologetics followed by periods of confusion. Coupled
with his eloquent prose and well-formed logic, Newman's testimony is an
inspiring read that, in the words of one reviewer, "explains all,
apologizes for nothing."

There are times when individuals are well synchronized with each other that they can finish each other's sentences. These interactions seem almost magical in that people understand how each other feels about a topic or event. There are instances however when it is difficult to understand where the miscommunication occurred. How a simple exchange of words could go so wrong is anyone's guess, but the fact that the individuals made up their mind about the event or another individual can be strikingly clear.
Take the example that the media popularized between an English politician and a political constituent. After a few words relating to political concerns were exchanged, the politician went on his way. Upon entering the vehicle, presumably a safe place to express his personal opinion with a microphone still on, the politician uttered how he perceived his constituent (refer to May 1st post).
One can only imagine how the politician made his conclusion about the interaction. Epley (2008) suggests that misinterpretations are likely to occur when individuals are under high cognitive load, where schemas seem to be the default interpretation of events. Further, Eyal and Epley (2010) suggests that when two strangers interact they seem to focus on different parts of the context (i.e. self or other). In the context of the political concern the constituent focused on the perceived problem, while the politician focused on his constituent. A solution to misunderstandings is to take part in perspective taking and to take more time to reduce the likelihood of biased interpretation (Epley, 2008).

PROVO - Rudolph R. Rackele, 91 of Provo, passed away peacefully Aug. 29, 2008.
Rudolph was born Oct. 19, 1916 to Salvatore and Rosina Marchese Rachiele in Mohrland.
Rudolph and his family lived in Carbon County until 1962, at which time they moved to Provo. There, he made his home until his time of passing.
During World War II, Rudolph served as a gunner in the U.S. Army. He helped the post-war Japanese in Hiroshima and was honored in 2004 as one of the oldest living veterans in Provo. He was very proud to wear his uniform, which still fit him after 55 years.
Rudolph worked for the Rio Grande Railroad for 45 years as a fireman and engineer and enjoyed writing for the railroad newspaper as a correspondent under the byline name "Red Rider."
He was a 32nd degree Mason and a Shriner and served as the worshipful master of the Damascus Lodge.
He was a member of the Provo Community Church and the Orem Community Church.
As a young man, he played American Legion baseball in Helper, where he and his brothers helped make up the full roster. He was a lifetime New York Yankee fan and honorary "arm-chair" manager.
His loving wife and sweetheart, Donna, and his family were his life.
He held family, God and country near to his heart.
He was a modest man of awesome proportions who was loved by many.
He missed his wife, Donna, so much after her passing in 2004. As his family witnessed, "Momma put out her hand and Daddy took it, and he is now smiling again because he is with his little 'Blue Bird.'"
He is survived by his children, Merrilee (Bill) Hatch of El Paso, Texas; Kristen (John) Briody of Austin, Texas; Rudene Rachiele of Henderson, Nev.; Kim (Scott) Fillmore of Provo; nine grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were Tuesday, Sept. 2, at the Orem Community Church. Interment was in the Orem City Cemetery, with full military honors accorded by the American Legion. Funeral services were under the direction of Berg Mortuary, Provo.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made in his memory to the Masonic Society of Utah or the Shriner's Children's Hospital of Salt Lake City.

Exelon has a strong tradition of involvement in programs administered by organizations and institutions in the communities that we serve and where we work. The three areas of focus for our hands-on involvement are education, the environment and diversity and inclusion. The goal is to improve the quality of life for the people who live and work in our service territory and around our power plants.
In 2013, over 3,700 employees served more than 96,000 hours as volunteers at various organizations in our service areas. The company supports employee volunteers by helping them find community service opportunities, recognizing and rewarding their work, and providing grants to the nonprofit organizations through our Dollars for Doers program.
Our senior management team and other employees serve on the boards of more than 500 nonprofit organizations throughout the Chicago and Philadelphia areas. Exelon employees also pledged over $5.9 million in 2013 toward the annual United Way campaign.
Exelon's employee volunteer engagement program is called "Energy for the Community." This program is designed to help our employees practice the company's community service values through volunteerism. Employees can easily find and sign up for service projects in their area of interest or near where they live.
Through Exelon's Energy for the Community Employee Volunteer Awards and Dollars for Doers program, we give employees an incentive to volunteer by rewarding their commitment with corporate donations to the organizations they work with.
National Volunteer Week is an annual, nationwide observance of individuals' and organizations' contributions to their communities. The 2013 National Volunteer Week program empowered employee volunteers to design their own service projects and recruit colleagues. Employees from every Exelon operating company participated in more than 160 community service projects, choosing to concentrate on environmental projects that support the company's Exelon 2020 low-carbon strategy and goals and diversity-focused opportunities to support the company's diversity value.
Exelon's Dollars for Doers program rewards service through grants to organizations where employees volunteer. Employees who volunteer in increments of 10, 20 or 40 hours can request a Dollars for Doers grant for the non-profit organization of their choice.
The Energy for the Community Employee Volunteer Awards rewards Exelon employees for outstanding dedication and commitment to community service. Exelon provides a total of $140,000 in grants to 18 organizations to honor employees who understand the meaning of giving back to the community. To be eligible, employees must have volunteered at least 50 hours in the past year. Applications are judged by an external review committee and the 18 winners are announced during National Volunteer Week.

This is the top Energy for the Community Volunteer Award. The employee's nonprofit receives a $20,000 grant from Exelon.
Justin Bedi, staff auditor with Exelon BSC, received the Excellence Award. Bedi uses the power of magic and laughter as a hospital magician with Open Heart Magic (OHM) to bring joy and bright smiles to sick children at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. Bedi performs one-on-one bedside magic routines for seriously ill children and helps bring a little happiness into their lives. He also serves on the OHM board and works diligently to raise funds and increase awareness of the organization. He is using his professional audit skills to increase the efficiency of OHM's annual "Tricks are for Kids" benefit and hopes to raise over $150,000, a 50 percent increase from the benefit's usual revenue. This extra funding would allow OHM to increase the number of hospital magicians from 60 to 150 and to reach over 10,000 children throughout Chicago in the next three years.
Bedi also represented Exelon at the National Jefferson Awards Conference in Washington, D.C., in June.
Each of the following organizations received a $10,000 donation from Exelon in honor of its employees' commitment to service.
Each of the following organizations received a $5,000 donation from Exelon in honor of its employees' commitment to service.

Dublin hotels
What travelers to Dublin are saying
Delightful Dublin
Like a typical Irishman, Dublin plays up its 'Irishness' for international visitors, but for UK tourists who dig a little deeper (and for whom an Irish accent is hardly a novelty), it's the history, innovation and glamour of Dublin mixed with its trademark down-home hospitality that will keep you coming back. Dublin is Bono enjoying a pint in peace (admittedly in his own, seriously swanky hotel – The Clarence in Temple Bar); Dublin is glamour, global relevance and intelligence wrapped in a cosy, charming setting.
Having said this, of course, some of the best experiences in Dublin are still to be had at the pub. Just steer clear of the artificial Irish-themed pubs and head off the beaten track for the real Dublin drinking experience – the small, cramped old pubs that look more like a living room than a drinking hall and where traditional music rings out.
Aside from this, there's lots to see – from the Guinness Storehouse(it really does taste better over there), Kilmainham Gaol or Fry Model Railway to Dublin Castle, the National Museum of Ireland and Trinity College.
Of course, if you're in town for St Patrick's Day, it goes without saying that Dublin's cosmopolitan and cultural gems are forgotten completely and you have full permission to don green garb, drink into the wee hours and hurl yourself with gusto down the streets singing (or just find a quiet corner to hurl). It's to be expected, so put away that British reserve and go crazy!
A Beautiful Day in Bono's Dublin
The capital of Ireland moves in "Mysterious Ways" and overflows with enough culture and character to provoke a severe case of "Vertigo". From the "Elevation" of the Spire of Dublin to more clandestine corners "Where the Streets Have No Name", a Dublin adventure can be the "Sweetest Thing". The best way to tackle Dublin, however, is to relinquish control, consult a local and submissively declare "I Will Follow". A local such as U2 frontman Paul David Hewson, for instance.
Yes, Bono. The "One" and only. Rock royalty, activist/philanthropist, entrepreneur and showman supreme. If you wake up one fine Dublin day, look in the mirror and glumly avow "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Desire" more, take a hint from the man in the wraparound sunglasses. "Walk On", develop "The Wanderer" within and explore Dublin from soup to nuts. You may just find yourself "Numb" from the experience.
U2 puns aside, Dublin is magical. Not in a starry, ethereal kind of way, however, but in the city's uptempo, workaday realness. One visit and you may well agree with Bono himself: Dublin is truly "In God's Country".
Dublin's Top 10
10. Newgrange It's a Stone Age passage tomb that dates back to 3200 BCE. Seriously old, in other words. Don't be put off by the nondescript exterior – underneath lurks a real slice of history.
5. Dublin Castle Dublin's top tourist attraction Learn about the nasty things we did to our neighbours during our 700-year rule. Not the place to be wearing your England shirt.
9. Iveagh Gardens Called 'The Secret Gardens' by Dubliners, here's the place to go for a taste of Narnia (C.S. Lewis was born in Ireland) with its cascade, rose garden, grotto, fountain and maze garden.
4. Kilmainham Gaol Spooky, fascinating and filled with history and education, this is fun for kids and adults alike.
8. St Stephen's Green Dublin's most picturesque park – perfect for picnics, parties and pouring over maps searching for the next attraction.
3. Croke Park Home of Gaelic Football (take in a match if you can, and just try to work out the rules), it's also the site of the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1920.
7. Dublinia Slightly touristy, but worth a look if you're interested in seeing what Ireland was like back in the day. (Hint: It was still very green and prone to rain.)
2. Fry Model Railway Something a bit different than your average museum or monument.
6. Trinity College Ireland's answer to Oxford and Cambridge. Oscar Wilde studied there and had a house just around the corner.
1. Guinness Storehouse Thick, black, creamy... you've got to at least try it.

Dublin Local
Yes, Temple Bar is touristy, but don't let that put you off. Because all around the Disneyland fakery of '80s-installed cobblestones and renovated 'historic' buildings are people going out of their way to have a good time. Tourists mingle with trendy young students and tolerant older locals, everyone with a pint in their hand and soaking up the laughter in the air.
Aside from eating and drinking at some of the best pubs, clubs and restaurants in Dublin, Temple Bar is also home to the Irish Film Centre, the Project Arts Centre and DESIGNyard, all of which are worth a gander.
If partying is not your cup of tea, have a quiet pint (or cup of tea, for that matter) at the Auld Dubliner pub after browsing the stalls at the Temple Bar Market. And if you're looking for a solid eight hours of uninterrupted sleep during your Dublin stay, don't stay in Temple Bar. The whoops, cheers, laughter and drunken renditions of Danny Boy from the tourists do not a sound slumber make.
This is Dublin's fair city, where the girls really are so pretty – and where you really can find Molly Malone. A statue of her stands on Grafton Street, Dublin's famous shopping mile. Known locally as the 'tart with the cart' her collection of cockles and mussels look a little incongruous now surrounded by designer stores where Dublin's trendy and monied spend up ready for big nights.
Dublin's City Centre is also home to Trinity College, Dublin Castle, a host of museums and galleries and the city's two most picturesque parks, St. Stephen's Green and Merrion Square.
Old Dublin
In something of a lazy naming effort (or an ironic assumption about visitors' lack of intelligence), Old Dublin is in fact, the oldest part of Dublin. Go figure. There are beautiful old buildings to be discovered, as well as some new life peeking through in a number of cafés and restaurants where you can rest your weary feet for a while, particularly on Francis Street, where you'll also find a number of galleries and the Tivoli Theatre.
Far less touristy than Temple Bar, Old Dublin is home to some of Dublin's best live music pubs (on Vicar Street). For a change of pace, though, check out the Meath Street markets.
Dublin Eat & Drink
Elephant & Castle It may be full of tourists, but that's because the brunch here is good enough to write home about.
Gourmet Burger Kitchen: More traditional burgers than Jo'burger. Try the Kiwi Burger with beef, cheese, egg, pineapple and salad. Open wide!
The Pepper Pot: Homemade traditional Irish fare.
Bewleys: Dublin's most iconic coffee shop. Perfect for breakfast, lunch and later on.
Jo'burger: Awful pun for the name, but you'll forgive that when you taste the delicious organic burgers. Rathmines
Avoca: Cheap, unpretentious food and a fabulous atmosphere.
Wolfes Irish Artisan Bistro: It's hidden away on Capel Street, but worth seeking out just for the Guinness-flavoured ice cream.
Temple Bar Market: Sample local delights and browse the classically Irish food stalls.
Queen of Tarts: Blow that diet while gorging on cakes and cookies. Isn't that what holidays are all about? Dame St
Clarence Hotel: Who's that bloke with the funny sunglasses sitting on the plush lounge next to you? Is it… really… him? Yep, this is Bono's hotel and yep, he really does drink there when he's in town. (The bar food is also great and the full Irish breakfasts are unbelievable!)
Dublin Events
February plays host to the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.
March brings the promise of the famous St Patrick's Day celebration, where it is not only acceptable, but damn-near mandatory to get hopped up on green Guinness and make a fool of yourself. Alternatively, just go along and watch the American tourists there to 'get in touch with their ancestral history' do just that.
June brings with it the Dublin Writers Festival, which dishes up a banquet of readings, discussions and public debates. Judging from some of the literary talent to come out of tis city, aspiring writers should pay close attention!
Second only to St Pat's as far as fame goes, Bloomsday is the Dublin festival and public holiday celebrating the date that set the scene for James Joyce's famous novel Ulysses. This takes place on June 16.
The Electric Picnic rolls around in August for a three-day celebration of comedy and music.
Dublin Fringe Festival is brought to you in September and plays host to innovative acts from around Dublin and the globe.
October brings with it the Dublin Theatre Festival, showcasing the best acts from Ireland and around the world.
When To Go
Tourist season in Dublin generally begins after Easter, reaches a peak in mid-summer and starts to die off in September.
Ireland is hardly noted for its gorgeous weather, so either take a brolly or find a pub where you can happily watch the rain fall down.
Getting Around
You can get direct flights to Dublin airport from most major cities around the UK, with regular buses taking you into the heart of the city. Alternatively, the ferry to Dun Laoghaire takes longer but is somehow more romantic (and windswept).
Travelling around the city itself is best done on foot or, if you're planning to travel further afield, outside peak hour.
Buses are relatively cheap and easy to use. They cost around €1.15 for up to three stages or €2.20 for up to 23. You'll need the exact change, otherwise you'll be given a receipt that you can get reimbursed at the Dublin bus office.
Bicycles were introduced into Dublin in 2009. Simply buy a €10 Smart Card (and pay a €150 deposit) in order to 'free' a bike for use. Bikes are free for half an hour and then €0.50 for each half-hour after that! Highly recommended.
Taxis are a great way to get home after a boozy night (well, better than walking alone!). It can sometimes be tricky to find a cab after the pubs shut, so it's best to book ahead.
What To Miss
21 Westland Row is not a museum, so don't head there expecting to see inside Oscar Wilde's birthplace. (It's actually the writing centre for the Creative Writing and Irish Literature Masters of Philosophy students at Trinity College, Dublin.)
If you're out in Temple Bar be careful of pickpockets at night and some quite unhygienic happenings in the streets. Where Paris may see you dodging dog piles on the pavement, here you could be dodging piles of upchuck.
Molly Malone. Yes, we know, she's Dublin's most famous working girl, but it seems like a lot of crowded fuss over a pretty standard statue. Avoid the crowds and visit the statues of Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott on Harry Street or James Joyce at North Earl Street.
Dublin Information
Spectacular, historic Dublin has been the chief beneficiary of the Irish economy's wicked tear in recent years. Cranes on the skyline may be the bane of photographers but they remain the most indelible symbols of Dublin's miraculous rise.
Always a favorite with tourists, thanks to Irish hospitality, charm and an embarrassment of heritage sites, the city now ranks as one of the most expensive in the world.
Dublin is the cultural epicentre of Ireland, with an incredibly active and vibrant arts community you are sure to have plenty of entertainment options available. Dublin's most internationally-famous Temple Bar area with its cobbled streets on the South bank of the River Liffey is a good place to start if you are looking to check out some of the local bands, small arts productions or simply just to enjoy a Guinness or two.
As the capital of the Republic of Ireland, Dublin has some important political monuments spread across the city. The best of the lot, from a tourist standpoint, are the Leinster House and the aptly titled Government Buildings.
Although horribly cliché, the Guinness Storehouse in St. James's Gate Brewery is nonetheless a requisite experience while in Dublin. If you plan to pub crawl in the city and sample the famous stout, why not visit the icon's headquarters? Tours normally end with a pint or three at The Gravity Bar, with a wonderful panorama view of Dublin.
The city of Dublin has no less than eight castles, each with their own distinct charm. While some remain relatively unspoiled, others are now resorts and hotels, most notably Luttrellstown Castle, where David and Victoria Beckham were wed. Swords, built in 1200, and Rathfarnham, a beautiful Anglo-Norman structure, may be the best bets for traditional castle tours within the city limits.
Saint Patrick's, a medieval cathedral built in 1192, has undergone many restorations over the years. Formally known as The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, it represents the best of several cathedrals in Dublin.
Farmleigh, once the palatial manor of the Guinness family, was bought by the Irish government in 1999. Now a functional guest house for state visits and foremost tourist attraction, tours of the superb estate and private gardens are available.
Trinity College is the oldest and most reputable academic institution in Ireland. The campus grounds are wonderful for a long walk and several of the university buildings are worthy of exploration.
Grafton Street is one of the foremost retail districts in Europe. The most famous pedestrian section of Dublin is home to several historic monuments and shops, most notably Bewley's Oriental Café.
Dublin hosts many major events throughout the year at Croke Park. With a capacity of over 80,000, only three stadiums in Europe are larger. Premier events here include Gaelic football, rugby and soccer. Of course, if you have the chance to see native sons U2 play here, by all means do so.
The Festival of World Cultures, held in August, is a massive celebration of music and arts that draws a quarter of a million people.
Heritage Week is a festival that commemorates the very best of Irish culture, history and traditions. Held at the end of August, it marks one of the best occasions to be a tourist in Dublin.
Eurocultured is the offbeat, orphan child of festivals in Dublin. Also held in August, it brings together the best street performers and artists from around Europe.
Tourist season in Dublin generally begins after Easter, reaches a peak in mid-Summer and dissipates in September. The city receives a fair amount of rain, with a monthly average of 30mm.
- Winter (November to February) 1-10°C
- Spring (March to May) 3-15°C
- Summer (June to August) 9-20°C
- Fall (September to October) 6-17°C
Darling Dublin
Dublin is that scruffy bloke who's the first to the bar and the last to leave. He's a little rough around the edges, but once he winds up, you're laughing for a week solid before you realise it's home time! Every second word you hear in Dublin is likely to be a swear word, but there's normally more charm than malice attached to them, and it shows how wonderfully unpretentious Dublin is. After all, where else can you find U2's Bono hanging out completely unmolested between tours?
We're not going to lie to you – some of the best experiences in Dublin are to be had at the pub. With a beer in hand and a pie on your plate, how can you really go wrong? Be warned, though, Dublin is home of the sort of Irish themed pub that can be found everywhere from Brisbane to Buenos Aires. If you're a lover of generica, you're in for a treat, but head off the beaten track for the real Dublin drinking experience – the small, cramped old pubs where traditional Irish music rings out.
Aside from this, there are loads of things to see – from the quirky like the Guinness Storehouse (yes, more drinking), Kilmainham Gaol or Fry Model Railway to the traditional attractions such as Dublin Castle and Trinity College.
Whether you're soaking in the history at the National Museum of Ireland or downing a pint, you'll want to stay for as long as it takes you to imitate the accent of the locals. Good luck!

"When we're healthy, we've got plenty of depth. I feel real good about being nine deep now, with the 10th and 11th on the bubble. At this level, I've never had it this good depth-wise, with guys who can line up and win games for us," he said Wednesday as the Demons paused between two full pads workouts in Turpin Stadium.
As usual with the biggest players on the team, there's a hitch – it's getting all of his best players on the field at once for an extended time. Veterans Blayne Cole and Josh Cunningham have missed time with heat-related issues, while senior guard Isaac Puapuaga is recovering from a concussion.
Cole (tackle) and Puagauga (guard) are the projected starters on the right side of the line. Cunningham is a swingman who can play either guard slot.
"I don't know how it will turn out and I'm a little uneasy about that, but overall we're on track," said Rudolph, offensive line coach at Southland Conference rival Southeastern Louisiana for the past five years. "It's been great for (Baylor transfer sophomore) Luke Burleson (6-6, 305) and (true freshman) Pace Murphy (6-6, 276), getting a lot of meaningful reps they might not otherwise have gotten this early in camp, so they're further along than expected at this point and that will help us sooner or later."
Overall, Rudolph likes his group's status through 15 practices, with the second major preseason scrimmage set Saturday at 6 in Turpin Stadium bringing an end to camp as classes begin Monday.
"We're where we are supposed to be at this point. We're not ready to play a game on Aug. 15, but we need to be ready Sept. 1," he said. "I see the progression on track. We need to clean up some things, and we need to get the starting rotation set as best we can so those guys can work together on a consistent basis."
Cole (6-4, 277) and Pace are manning the right tackle post, with last year's starting left tackle, Tchissakid Player (6-6, 294), topping the corps at guard along with Puapuaga (6-1, 323) and Cunningham (6-2, 269). Two rising juniors, Caleb Stanfield (6-2, 289) and Warren Jones (6-1, 300), anchor the line at center, with senior all-star candidate Larry Calcote (6-4, 284) and Jeremy Raine (6-4, 315) at left tackle. Burleson could break into the rotation at tackle while Arkansas Baptist transfer freshman Gary Artiste (6-1, 284) is emerging as a third center candidate.
"We'll need to cross train some guys to handle multiple jobs in case we need to juggle assignments to get the best five out there," said Rudolph, who was offensive coordinator at SLU for the past two seasons and also spent two years at Samford in the same role along with coaching the offensive linemen.
Murphy has made a very fast impact after signing with the Demons last February out of Strake Jesuit College Prep in Houston.
"I didn't know where Pace would factor in, but he's extremely athletic, extremely bright and has picked up our offense, our terminology, our communication very fast. He's been a real bright spot," said Rudolph, assessing his top newcomers. "Luke Burleson's doing extremely well. Warren Jones was unable to participate in spring, but he's very athletic and is doing a tremendous job. He will be in the mix and really help us.
"Caleb Stanfield is really doing a good job for us at center. He and Warren have a great battle going on and make that position a very good one for us. Caleb is tough as a boot," said Rudolph.
The 18-man offensive line contingent in camp is primarily seniors, juniors and true freshmen. Redshirt freshmen Xavier Jefferson and Jonathan Lewis are developing well and progressing toward emerging in the playing rotation as sophomores, if not sooner, said Rudolph.
"It's a good group. They work hard and they've done what we've asked," he said. "We've got work to do to get where we need to be on Sept. 1 in Lubbock, but we're on track."
The Demons kick off the season at Texas Tech, then host Arkansas-Monticello in Turpin Stadium on Sept. 8.

Chain jumping? Stepheight change? Seriously? You're going to tweak around with game physics this far into it? Making jumps which weren't difficult but took some skill into taking less notwithstanding the fact every map thus far (and nearly all maps are old quake 3 maps) have been made with the standard physics in mind.
For instance wall clipping on dm6 doors is all screwed up. At yellow armor, two jump the pillars and wall clip the door tightly only to find yourself stopping because of the height of your jump.
You can now cross over the higher rocket platform from YA side with a single jump on dm13 without using the pillar.
How about adding Defrag (an entire mod dedicated to quake movement) with strafe pad and circle jump pad maps with "df_hud_cgaz 1" and "df_chs0_draw 1" to quakelive instead if you want the newbs to learn to move around rather than break the game physics for anyone who learned to move which is part of what makes quake what it is.

EDIT: just tried out - takes some time to get it, still only 1 out of 5 tries worked for me, others were done as normal (jump led to mega).
P.S. Ofcourse make the 'B2R' easy, nooo remove the only advantage in that map people gained after practicing couple of hours to gain like 3 seconds advantage on getting the rail, with every 2nd update it seems QL is being dumb down to the newby level.
Last edited by Dehumaniz3d; 10-27-2010 at 01:10 AM.
Seriously id, you suck. I hope QL dies within months, so we can return to Quake instead of this useless tweaked to death QL-Nub****.
Who requested Tridamage? Who Q3w3, the most boring map ever? Man this sucks so much, unbeliavable.
OK so I wanted to do some "testing" before I made a decision on whether I like the new "Tri-Damage" or not, and after testing, I have to say that I don't like it at 3x. IMO raise it back to 4x.
People, before you rage mad about the quad being 3x damage, it was 3x in Quake 3 Arena as well.
Not too fond of the physics change btw, you should reconsider, it's a 'messy' system imo.
So much ****ing whine on these forums, jesus.
Changes are fine and i LOVE new physics.

About the index:
This index includes entries compiled by examining actual records held by the Oregon State Archives. The spelling of surnames and other information reflects the original records.
The records included
in this index represent only a small fraction of our holdings.

Hints for searching the Oregon Historical Records Index
This index has evolved over more than a decade and is the effort of thousands of hours of Archives volunteers' time. Originally volunteers were told to enter data as it appeared on the record. As such there are many entries using the common abbreviations for some given names. Examples include Wm for William and Chas for Charles. Generally it is best to use a surname only search unless you have a very common surname. If you get a large search result you can then add additional information such as given name or location/county to narrow the search. Do not use periods in your search. Although there are some entries with periods we have discontinued there use in data entry. If you include a period in your search criteria it will only return items that include periods, not entries were no periods are used. We are gradually editing the entries to make them more consistent and hopefully improve the searching capabilities. Please feel free to contact us (reference.archives @ state.or.us) if you encounter problems with searching the index.
Order copies:
Information or copies from the indexed records may be requested by contacting the Reference Unit of the Archives. In most cases these records include more information than the index entries. Entries will be added to the index on an ongoing basis.
Records from the following entities are included in the index:

PAWTUCKET (AP) — Pawtucket police are investigating the shooting of two men at a local gas station.
Police say they responded to a report of shots fired at a Sunoco station on School Street shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday. But the victims were gone by the time officers arrived.
Authorities say the two men later showed up at different hospitals seeking treatment for gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening.
The men's names haven't been released. It's not clear why they were shot.
Police are looking for several cars seen around the gas station at the time of the shooting.

Yes, textbooks can be expensive to buy. Some big international publishers, such as Pearson, Reed-Elsevier, and Wolters-Kluwer, have been able to charge a high price for textbooks—books that can become obsolete every couple of years when a new edition is published.
But Larry Walther, School of Accountancy head at the Huntsman School, has a different idea. His excellent textbook is available free online at www.principlesofaccounting.com. He is part of the new wave of "open access" authors that has been growing. Check out his online book. Perhaps you'd like to strengthen your accounting skills in an area that has changed or answer a question related to your own personal finances. Continuing education is just a click away with Dr. Walther's book.
Other Huntsman professors have published a number of textbooks, business books, and general interest books. Here are just a few noteworthy tomes to feed your appetite for lifelong learning.
Chad Albrecht, Steve Albrecht, and M. Zimbelman have published "Fraud Examination: 4th Edition," from Cengage Learning, 2011.
Chester Brough published a standard, "Business Law and Ethics" in 2011, from Kendall Hunt.
Mike Glauser has written two books about entrepreneurship. The second one is "The Business of Heart: How Everyday Americans Are Changing the World," from Shadow Mountain Press.
Stacey Hills is the author of "The Marketing Fundamentals Field Guide," with an edition published in 2011 by Kendall-Hunt.
Vijay Kannan now has written "International Business in the 21st Century, Volume 2—Going Global: Implementing International Business Operations," published in 2011 by Praeger.
Eric Schulz has published a new edition of his marketing book entitled, "The Smart Marketer's Toolbox," 2012.
William Shughart has co-authored, with M. Reksulak and L. Razzolini, "The Elgar Companion to Public Choice," 2nd edition, in Cheltenham, U.K., from Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd.

The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Richby Timothy Ferriss
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
What do you do? Tim Ferriss has trouble answering the question. Depending on when you ask this controversial Princeton University guest lecturer, he might answer: "I race motorcycles in Europe." "I ski in the Andes." "I scuba dive in Panama." "I dance tango in Buenos Aires." He has spent more than five years learning the secrets of the New Rich, a fast-growing subculture who has abandoned the "deferred-life plan" (slaversaver retire) and instead mastered the new currencies — time and mobility — to create luxury lifestyles in the here and now.
Whether you are an overworked employee or an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, this book is the compass for a new and revolutionary world. Join Tim Ferriss as he teaches you: What the crucial difference is between absolute and relative income, how to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it's beyond repair, what automated cash-flow "muses" are and how to create one in 2 to 4 weeks, how to cultivate selective ignorance — and create time with a low-information diet, what the management secrets of Remote Control CEOs are, how to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50 — 80% off, and how to fill the void and create a meaningful life after removing work and the office.
You can have it all — really.
"It's about time this book was written. It is a long-overdue manifesto for the mobile lifestyle, and Tim Ferriss is the ideal ambassador. This will be huge." Jack Canfield, Co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul
"This is a whole new ball game. Highly recommended." Dr. Stewart D. Friedman, Adviser to Jack Welch and Former Vice President Al Gore on Work/Family Issues Director of the Work/Life Integration Project, The Wharton School
"Stunning and amazing. From mini-retirements to outsourcing your life, it's all here. Whether you're a wage slave or a Fortune 500 CEO, this book will change your life!" Phil Town, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Rule #1
"Timothy has packed more lives into his 29 years than Steve Jobs has in his 51." Tom Foremski, Journalist and Publisher of SiliconValleyWatcher.com
Based on Ferriss's controversial lectures at Princeton University, this resource shows how members of a new subculture use simple loopholes and tactics to escape the 9-5 workday, live anywhere, and join the New Rich, with complete freedom of time and place.
More than 100 pages of new, cutting-edge content.
Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan–there is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, The 4-Hour Workweek is the blueprint.
This step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches:
•How Tim went from $40,000 per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per month and 4 hours per week
•How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want
•How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
•How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist
•How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent "mini-retirements"
The new expanded edition of Tim Ferriss The 4-Hour Workweek includes:
•More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers (including families) who have doubled income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book as a starting point
•Real-world templates you can copy for eliminating e-mail, negotiating with bosses and clients, or getting a private chef for less than $8 a meal
•How Lifestyle Design principles can be suited to unpredictable economic times
•The latest tools and tricks, as well as high-tech shortcuts, for living like a diplomat or millionaire without being either
About the Author
TIMOTHY FERRISS, serial entrepreneur and ultra-vagabond, has been featured in the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Maxim, and other media. He speaks six languages, runs a multinational firm from wireless locations worldwide, and has been a world-record holder in tango, a national champion in Chinese kick-boxing, and an actor on a hit television series in Hong Kong.

text: The collection of lamps by Facon de Venise transforms the identity of a refined style and the graceful lines of classic Venetian lamps in a mini revolution: an allegory with a contemporary feel which lends itself to the creation of a fresh type of lighting decoration for both internal and external space. The severity of outside lamps is transformed in favour of fantastic creations. It pays with him decor and the urban habitat, by launching a new type of lighting that is both practical and elegant for public and private locations, for the metropolitan oasis and the meeting place.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
It occurs to me that hatred and fear are pretty good marketing tools for making money or winning votes. It's a world-wide phenomenon. This is why I foresee that the international uproar about the threatened Qu'ran burning in this country will create fortunes for bold entrepreneurs overseas.
Get ready for an insult-product boom.
Suppose some rug maker somewhere decides to retool his shop to make American Flag doormats? There's a huge and growing market for them on at least three of the seven continents. Imagine the psychological satisfaction for some guy, who, after a hard day on the caravan, gets to wipe the dust off his sandals on Old Glory. It beats flag burning, because once once the flames are out, the flag is gone.
Flag toilet paper would probably be a big seller, too, even in paperless cultures. Not a pretty picture.
Extremists know what is sacred to Americans and you can bet good money that the tit-for-tat response to an insult to the Qu'ran is going to be an insult to the flag, for which we have an inordinate devotion compared to other countries. But things could and probably will be worse.
I have heard from Gen. Petraeus and President Obama that the Qu'ran burning would endanger our troops. It seems that since the troops are already endangered because we sent them to a war that will soon equal the siege of Troy in length, this is not a surprise. However, the sacred book burning - even if not carried out - is an outstanding marketing opportunity for the Taliban and al Qaeda, who are as masterful at manipulating public sentiment as any Madison Avenue ad firm.
As their recruitment increases, the sacrifices our troops have made and are making on two fronts are nullified.
There is no reason to believe that anti-American sentiment is limited to a single region that can be isolated and treated like some tumor. We're probably looking at metastasis now. It means that instead of "fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here," we'll be saying, "We have to fight them there and there and there and there..."
Hatred and fear and insults: gifts that keep on giving.
