Got pig? Here's a great wine pairing …By Marisa D'Vari | February 1st, 2007 | Category: News | No Comments »
A pig isn't the first image that comes to mind when you think of Las Vegas. Now the entire city is celebrating the Year of the Pig -- the new Chinese Lunar New Year -- so pigs are very in right now.
Just came upon the WineTerroirs web site which, among some interesting tasting notes on the right wine to go with pig (a Cotes du Rhone AOC made by Les Vignerons d'Estezargues) has an unforgettable picture of a pig's head in a pot with some celery! The dish is called "Fromage de tête", or Pork Brawn, or Head Cheese.
Las Vegas, by the way, was incredible ... in the next few days look for notes on my multi-course wine pairings at Restaurant Guy Savoy and some special bargains tasted at Daniel Boulud ...

Hi, not sure if you can help but i was diagnosed with Intussusception, rectal prolapse in August 2011, im female and 23 years old. I have had numerous examinations aswell as a Proctogram and Sigmoidoscopy done. For the past 2 years i have uped my Fruit and Fibre and take Fibre Soliable powder. I also have regular fibre bars eveyday. I am now on Lactulose and am taking around 100ml a day. My consultant has made me aware of an operation that is available which may help but obviously not guaranteed to work. My consultant does not want to go down this route due to it being the invasive option and due to my age. My consultant has stated that he thinks it would be a good idea to wait and start a family before thinking about surgery as he is unsure as to how this will affect me having children. I have to admit i really dont want an operation so i dont mind putting this off but i was just wondering if anyone is going through this or if anyone has any methods to help? Any type of food/supplement/med that helps you?
Thanks in advance

The last time I subbed for Brandon, this happened. I feel good about my chances that tonight will be a good job.
BEST: Booker T is the Worst
"Actually you're mistake … Excuse me, like I said actually you're mistaken, Punk. See, as managing as managing manager of general of…excuse me. Listen Punk, now listen here if you think you can smell what the oh excuse me, Punk. Can you dig anything now, Punk? Now which shovel should Punk use to dig? Should he use the shovel he got at the garden store in 2010? How about the shovel he got in 2011? Or – should Punk use the shovel he got last year? Can he dig me out of this hole? Please get the WWE smartphone on your app to find out. Now mind you me you must get or have gotten already that smartphone app on your own WWE Sucka. Hulk Hogan, I'm coming for you nigga"
WORST: Michael Cole's phone
Homeboy has four different photography apps, only three "social" apps and three games (live a little, Cole). What's worse is that he has 0 unread text messages and 0 missed calls (get a life, Cole). He uses dropbox and droptext. He has downloaded 0 magazines to his Newstand app. His battery was at 75%. I bet Vickie has a ton of calorie counter apps, huh Rocky.
WORST: WWE Hall of Fame Epico Announcement
Is Epico making the announcement or is Epico getting into the Hall of Fame? Find out on a special Primo time Raw.
WORST: Randy Orton's Campaign: Believe in America
"Vote for me because when we fought last time it was in Atlanta and we're in Atlanta tonight so all things that happened in Atlanta before must happen again. Let's bring Spud Webb and Dominique Wilkins back. Let's bring David Justice back. Let's bring the Olympics back. In fact, let's bring all of 1996 back so I can keep my same shirt on."
BEST: Antonio Cesaro, MVP of Raw
Not in the Montel Porter way, in a "makes everyone watchable" way. I can't decide if I want him to lose the U.S. title as soon as possible so we can see him uppercut Sheamus mid-Brogue Kick in the semi main event at Summerslam 2013 or if I want him to be U.S. champion forever. Anyone else hoping for a countout victory and Cesaro announcing next week he's this guy's nephew? Should also be noted that Michael Cole said Antonio Cesaro hasn't tasted a dessert in 3 years. So remember kids, if you eat dessert now you will never be able to uppercut like Antonio.

Mrs. Leeda Faulkner Pike Harris
Mrs. Leeda Faulkner Pike Harris, 77, of Newnan, Ga., attained her perfect healing from an extended illness in the early hours of April 8, 2013. Her struggle for life was valiantly fought for several years. She was born Nov. 4, 1935, in Thomasville, North Carolina, and was one of three children of Thomas and Leeda Rucker Faulkner.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Mary Edwin Olmstead and Sharon Brown.
Also predeceasing her were her husbands, Harry Pike and Joe Harris. A graduate of The Crawford W. Long School of Nursing, she possessed a wonderfully nurturing spirit. While registered nurse might have been her job title, she felt it was a God-given calling in her life. She offered her service at hospitals in Franklin, Newnan, and at Garden Terrace in Douglasville. It was not uncommon at all for her to make nightly trips to Garden Terrace to deliver her special home cooking to her patients and to also assist them in eating when they could not do for themselves.
Her love for others and the God who created her made her an important part of her church family at Sunnyside Baptist Church. She cherished the friendships that she made all along her life's journey, from the years living in Moreland and the 20 years she lived in Waco, Ga.
She is survived by a loving and devoted daughter, Linda Pike of Newnan; a niece, Erica Webb; and a nephew, Shaun Brown.
Her family wishes to express their profound gratitude to a wealth of doctors, nurses, friends and caregivers who loved Leeda as their own. They have truly lifted this family up and carried them through the years of illness and gave her the best quality of life possible.
Funeral arrangements are by McKoon Funeral Home at 38 Jackson St., Newnan. The family held visitation Tuesday 5-8 p.m. and will receive friends again on Wednesday between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. The funeral service will be on Wednesday, April 10 at 3 p.m. at Sunnyside Baptist Church with Reverend F.D. McWhorter officiating. Interment will be at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Sunnyside Baptist Church 255 Greenville St., Newnan, GA 30263. Online condolences may be expressed at www.mckoon.com .

1912-09-16 (135lbs) Hughie Mehegan w disq 14 (15) Matt Wells, The Ring, Southwark, London, England
1912-09-16 (135lbs) Hughie Mehegan w disq 14 (15) Matt Wells, The Ring, Southwark, London, England. Referee: Eugene Corri. Wells, who had initially wanted ten two-minute rounds at 135lbs before settling for 15 threes against a man already claiming the Imperial British Empire title at the weight, lost any claim he had to the world title following this defeat. Wells had started strongly with the left jab, winning the opening seven rounds according to Boxing, having dropped Mehegan with a right in the second. The eighth round was the turning point as Mehegan began to close Wells down, and by the tenth it was the Australian all the way as the latter tired. In the 11th, after Wells took even more punishment although he continued to try and turn things around he was being outpunched with Mehegan merely shrugging off anything coming his way. Even though he made a huge effort in the 13th it was clear that Wells had weakened himself considerably, but he continued in his efforts to get back into the fight. The end came when Wells failed to acknowledge the bell. Continuing to punch away at Mehegan until he fell, Wells then smashed in a right to the jaw when the latter was already on the floor, thus leaving the referee with no other option than to disqualify him.

text: "I love the head-spinning nature of it," says Mays, who won Tony®, Drama Desk and Theater World awards in 2004 for taking on 37 different roles in the solo show I Am My Own Wife. "I think, like most actors, I suffer from what I call 'the Bottom syndrome,'" he confides, referring to the character in A Midsummer Night's Dream who insists on playing all the parts in the play-within-the-play about Pyramus and Thisbe. "So here my wish has come true, my pathology has been sustained!" Unlike the one-man show however, where Mays suggested the various characters while retaining the simple black dress worn by the main character, in the current musical the actors pulls off a complete character transformation each time around. "Some of the costume changes happen on stage, and one of them is, I think, about three seconds. It's a sensation that I have never experienced before: being set upon in the dark by sometimes four people, who tear your clothes off and put you into something new and then push you back on stage, after perhaps squirting some water into your mouth. It's like a funhouse ride for me in the dark. I get to breathe only when the audience laughs, because, then, time gets suspended and you can lean up against the show for a few precious moments."

Last week I noticed that I'd had a few Non scale victories recently, I've changed my life a great deal over the last few years and that really is showing with my new endeavours. I've also bought some new clothes recently. I shop online a lot because I HATE shopping with crowds of people, so I have to guestimate the sizes as they seem to vary so much. I ordered a dress in a size I kind of considered "my size" and it was too big. Like 3 sizes to big.
So I started to evaluate what actually fits me and it's 4 sizes smaller than when I started this journey. I wear normal clothes now. From normal shelves. Not from the chubby girl range.
NSV number 2 : I actually can look at my face without feeling unwell or cringing. This is me on the way to the pub last weekend.
That night went a lot like this…
Finally there is the non scale victory that the title of this post is referring too. For a number of years I didn't regularly wear deodorant. I didn't need to because I rarely sweated. I lived under the illusion that it was because I wasn't really a sweater. I didn't ever smell myself (and never had any complaints!) so I felt pretty certain that I wasn't much of a sweaty person.
It hit me today when I noticed that I needed to pop some deo on (code for I caught a wiff of myself) that the reason I never broke a sweat before is because I never considered doing anything that would break a sweat. For instance back then we lived around a 10 minute walk from the shopping centre and where I currently go everyday. Back then we wouldn't have considered walking there from our place, we always drove (and paid for parking!). Well, it is up a big hill and down another hill.
Recently I've been parking there. Deliberately. Doing the walk. And I've had a little sweat on. It's been swampy humid and wet recently.
I'm strangely proud of having to use deodorant.
Whats your strangest NSV?

Comments about Yorkville 200KB 4-Channel Keyboard Amp:
I needed this unit to play smaller venues. I sent this unit back because, plugging in my keyboard, the sound was flat, no sweetness, color could be adjusted. Playing larger venus, I use 15" Beringer speakers with Beringer 15 channel mixer. I replaced the Yorkville unit with Mus. Friend, Beringer unit that has two smaller speakers with a smaller mixer. Hopefully, the sound will improve
Comments about Yorkville 200KB 4-Channel Keyboard Amp:
For a monophonic system, this thing is way too heavy and overpriced. It is fairly loud though. I wouldn't say it is high-fidelity, but it does reproduce keyboard sounds well, especially ROCK piano and synth sounds. Even with a Kurzweil 2600 though, Jazz chord-voicings get cloudy in the midrange through this thing, despite a good bit a tweaking. From experience, I have found all Yorkville / Traynor gear to be reliable. The company uses well-tested manufacturing techniques: surface-mount components, wave soldering, etched circuits, metal chassis, automated assembly, etc. You can be sure that this and any of their other products are solid. They have a good warranty to back that up too. So if volume, reliability and simplicity are your criteria, this is a good choice.If stereo-operation, value, lightweight or high-fidelity are more important to you than volume and endurance, look elsewhere.Best wishes...
Comments about Yorkville 200KB 4-Channel Keyboard Amp:
Great sound penetration, even over the loudest guitar player. Great to use as onstage monitor with direct out to mains. I've used this amp for about 3 years now. No problems.
Comments about Yorkville 200KB 4-Channel Keyboard Amp:
I purchased this unit approximately 4 months ago and have been pleased ever since. I enjoy the bottom end for the keyboards and I also use this amp for my guitar. I did however, add another cabinet for the mids and highs, because my guitar sounded like it was a little muddy when I was playing.
Comments about Yorkville 200KB 4-Channel Keyboard Amp:
Very cool amplifier. Not to heavy and easy to carry. 4 inputs available. Excellent product.

GETKEY(3F) is a C/Fortran combination that (hopefully) lets Fortran read one character at a time in raw I/O mode on most platforms.
Unfortunately (as of this writing), there is no universal standard method using the programming languages Fortran or C for reading hot (raw I/O) keystrokes. In this document "Hot" or "Raw" mode, also sometimes called "immediate mode" means each keystroke is detected immediately, without requiring a carriage return.
The best way to know if this will work on your platform is to try it.
The getkey(3c) C routine uses commonly available routines to set to raw mode, read a keystroke, and reset to normal mode. Once this is working, it is typically easy to make a Fortran routine that calls the C routine. This example uses the five most common methods for calling C from Fortran, since how to make Fortran/C interfaces still varies if you do not have a Fortran 2003 compiler.
getkey.c is the core C routine that you must get working. Once this functions then you can try the three simple Fortran test programs ...
Alternatively, ksh(1) or bash(1) shell users can try getkey.ksh. This script generates all the above files and then tries to compile and load them.
The getkey.ksh script uses a "shotgun" approach to try to help you identify which compiler versions might work on your machine. If it gets far enough to build executables it will create a list of executable files like:
getkey+cc+f77+f77 getkey+cc+f90+f03 getkey+cc+f90+f77 getkey+cc+f90+f90 getkey+gcc getkey+gcc+g95+f03 getkey+gcc+g95+f77 getkey+gcc+g95+f90 getkey+gcc+gfortran+f77 getkey+gcc+gfortran+f90 getkey+icc+ifort+f03 getkey+icc+ifort+f77 getkey+icc+ifort+f90
A name like getkey+icc+ifort+f03 means the Intel icc(1) and ifort(1) compilers were used with the Fortran 2003 test case to make this test executable.
Look at this log file; if you can read it you probably want the script.
Even without the getkey.ksh script, the steps to test the GETKEY(3F) procedure are relatively simple.
First you need to make sure the C routine will work by itself ...
######################################## cc -DTESTPRG -DLinux getkey.c -o testit or cc -DTESTPRG getkey.c -o testit or cc -DBSD -DTESTPRG getkey.c -o testit then ./testit ########################################
Once the C program works; just make an object file and then load it with one of the Fortran programs, depending on which compilers you have
######################################## cc -DLinux getkey.c -o # call simple integer C function from Fortran g95 f90.f90 getkey.o -o testit ./testit ########################################
If you have a Fortran 2003 compiler, there is a standard-based method for the Fortran-to-C interface that is preferable that uses the ISO_C_BINDINGS modules. Note that most f90+ compilers now support this 2003 feature as an extension ...
######################################## cc -DLinux getkey.c -o g95 M_getkey.F90 getkey.o -o testit ./testit ########################################
The sample program reads one character at a time until the letter "q" is entered. If the C program works in stand-alone mode but none of the Fortran examples work you will have to find out how your programming environment allows Fortran to call C routines. For this intentionally simple routine you usually just need to add an underscore to the C name (ie "_getkey" or "getkey_" or make it uppercase "GETKEY") to make getkeyC(3c) a Fortran-callable procedure.

Welcome to the IE6 CSS Fixer: starter kit page. A tool specifically designed to ease the pain of the ie6 css debugger. If you want to read up on all the specifics, I advise you to check the articles on the ideology, the specific fixes and the scope of this tool.
It is extremely important to note that this tool is not a miracle solution. This is not a 1-click-fix-all tool, nor is this a final version that will work flawlessy. In some circumstances it can even introduce new errors, so keep that in mind when you add one of the potentially harmfull fixes. Also know that it does not output clean, lean and optimized css code.
This tool was concieved to decrease the monkey work when starting an ie6 css fix file. It applies a series of basic fixes that are known to conquer many problems and cause as little harm as possible. It is meant to get a good head-start by fixing roughly 40-60% of all your ie6 issues with just one click, outputting a rough css that can be placed in a separate section and can be used as a solid start to finish up the rest of your ie6 debugging work.
Even though the status of this tool is still experimental, it has already proven its worth. All additional feedback and help is welcomed.

If you're looking for new customization tools for your Windows operating system, search no more because Microsoft has just released a new official theme.
With a pretty self-explanatory name, the "Shadowboxes" theme boasts a total of 13 wallpapers showcasing art created from bird feathers.
"Birds take flight from your desktop! Artist/photographer Chris Maynard brings his unique vision to life in these artful, inventive pieces crafted entirely from feathers," Microsoft explains.
The theme is compatible with both Windows 7 and Windows 8, but another important thing is that Windows RT users can also deploy it on their tablets, which include the Surface RT, Microsoft's first tablet ever.
As for the desktop version, however, both the 32- and the 64-bit builds of the operating systems are supported.

The internal energy of a system is identified with the random, disordered motion of molecules; the total (internal) energy in a system includes potential and kinetic energy. This is contrast to external energy which is a function of the sample with respect to the outside environment (e.g. kinetic energy if the sample is moving or potential energy if the sample is at a height from the ground etc). The symbol for Internal Energy Change is\( ΔU\).
One gram of water at zero °Celsius compared with one gram of copper at zero °Celsius do NOT have the same internal energy because even though their kinetic energies are equal, water has a much higher potential energy causing its internal energy to be much greater than the copper's internal energy.
The first law of thermodynamics
ΔU = q+w
where q is heat and w is work
An isolated system cannot exchange heat or work with its surroundings making the change in internal energy equal to zero.
ΔUisolated system = 0

My Forest
Chapter one
Hello, my name is Vince, simple as that. The last few months have been... enlightening to say the least. I would love to share the story with you, especially about my first flight. Oh... I just might have said too much. So as I was saying, my story is the usual classic, man meets world, man learns about something, then man saves the world.
Vague... I know, but I can tell you right now where this all started... About three months ago... not entirely sure about the times... I have been busy... I was driving to the corner store about... ten miles from my house near the forest. Cannot remember if it was for milk or just eggs... but as I was saying, I was driving along in my pickup, without a care in the world. The next moment has been the pivotal point of my life. A wolf ran across the road, darting from the forest. He was a magnificent beast, grey, black, and white, a perfect predator of the forest. I swerved just in time to save him from getting run over by my tone and a half of truck. I stopped on the side of the road to calm down after that near accident.
Then the oddest thing happened... The wolf stopped also, on the other side of the road, opposite of the forest and just stared... right at me... eye to eye. I stared in return, neither scared nor, oddly, surprised at his mannerisms. He gave a nod, such a human thing that I just blinked. When my eyes opened I saw him running back into the forest, taking a wide detour around the stopped truck. I started the engine and drove back onto the road and headed to the corner store.
I came in and nodded to Frank behind the counter with a smile and headed to get what I came here for. I was minding my own business when this man, dressed in Indian shamanistic clothing, came up to me and spoke in a rough voice, choked with cigar smoke, "You have seen the wolf... He told me about you... Vince."
I raised my eyebrow at the man and sighs, "How did you know sir?"
"The wolf... the black, grey, and white wolf you swerved to avoid as he came running out of the forest. He has spoken with me. He thanks you and would like to thank you in person in the upcoming... days... Do not be afraid of your dreams tonight Vince. You will know in time." He spoke, his tone, not entirely threatening; yet full of wisdom of his... visually sixty odd years.
I stepped back from him, a bit... surprised at his accuracy of what happened not just twenty minutes prior, "You have been watching me... What am I to you? What am I to the wolf?" I asked a bit nervously.
The shaman smiles and just nods, "You are the answer to the animals of the forest. Go home and dream."
I just shook my head and walked around the man, "What ever Shaman... Thank you for your... wisdom I guess." I headed to the checkout and looked to Frank, "What is with his story Frank?"
Frank just sighs, "I do not know... He has been around the past couple of days. He's a wanderer though... Do not take his words to heart."
"I will not... Here's the three, forty seven I owe you for the bread and eggs..."
"Thank you and have a good night, it is getting late now."
I look outside and blinks, "Where has the day gone?" I ask to myself out loud as I head out to my pickup.
Twenty minutes later, I arrived at my small cottage by the forest. I smiled as I drove up the small stoned driveway towards a sparsely furnished home of refuge. I loved it here, basic cable, and no internet. Just the woods to explore and camp out in from time to time. I parked and headed inside and placed the eggs and bread into the fridge. I grabbed a coke and headed to my chair in front of the TV. I sat down and turned on the TV to the news. The usual... war... famine... Obama's recent speech. I was not interested in any of that, it was far away from my home.

The Risks of Moving in Together Before Marriage
Society's Old-School Disapproval May Make Modern Women Unhappy
The correlation between cohabitation and unhappiness was highest in places like America, Bulgaria, Brazil, and Mexico. Cohabiting British women also saw a drop in their self-esteem. The study suggests that unmarried women who live with a partner were less happy than married women because they had violated "normal" behavior, had to endure disapproving glances from neighbors or hotel staff, and others pitied them "for failing to persuade their man down the aisle." In the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries, which take a looser view of marriage, cohabiting and married women were just as likely to be happy.
While the study found women are treated like line cutters, people who don't get up for the elderly on the bus, or other social-norm breakers, men's self-esteem was not impacted by living with a woman out of wedlock. This sort of collective disapproval of women based on personal decisions seems so very retro to me. Maybe the new wave of public figures, like Kate Middleton — who not only lived with Prince William before marriage but also overcame the unspoken royal bride virginity role — will help end it once and for all.

Tina Anderson-Wahlberg, interim program manager for the college's Center for Students with Disabilities, said the meeting will offer would-be college students and their parents an idea of the services available at the college and how they differ from services students likely received in high school.
"Students with disabilities have to be able to compete with nondisabled peers," she said.
Students can find success at Glendale Community College by understanding what their challenges are, advocating for themselves and managing their time, she said.
In addition, the college provides specialized computer classes, physical-education courses, study-skills classes and tutoring for students with disabilities.
"Our job at the center for students with disabilities is to even the playing field so students with disabilities can have the same opportunity to perform and compete," she said. "The students who really understand where their challenges are, what accommodations they need and who are really goal-oriented are the ones that end up succeeding."
The meeting will also address changes coming down the line with the implementation of the Student Success Act, legislation that aims to provide students with efficient college careers, partly by having them create educational plans upon enrolling.
The act will take effect this fall and will bump up the priority registration date for disabled students. Those entering college for the fall would need to register by June 13 or lose priority registration.
In addition, students will need to draft their own education plan and outline their academic goals by the end of their third semester at college.
The upcoming meeting, titled "From High School to College: A Whole New Ballgame," will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. in Room 212 of the college's student center, located at 1500 N. Verdugo Road.

I read plenty of packing lists and sometimes the phrase "spare socks" is used. I assume this means "change of socks," rather than some emergency supply.I hope to read a little more about this. Please discuss your methods and artifacts as well as environment.How many socks do you wear and carry? Do your shoes breath? Do you change socks once a day, more than once a day, just leave them on for a week? When, how, and how often do you wash your socks? What about your feet? Do clean socks go on clean feet?
Hey Jeremy,I bring 2 pairs of hiking socks and 1 pair of sleeping(thick) socks.I wear one pair during the day. Then wash my feet and socks at night - I then wear my other pair the next day, allowing the first pair of socks to fully dry overnight and the next day (attach to outside of pack if they are still very wet/damp in the morning). I sleep in the same socks everynight after I clean my feet. :)Sometimes, if it's really hot...I change my socks at lunchtime and wash them, then stick them on my pack to dry.I used to bring only 2 pairs of socks - one to sleep in and one to hike in. But...then one time I washed both pairs and it was so damp that they didn't dry for a couple of days, so the extra 1.4 oz is worth another set.HTH
Edited by Steve_Evans on 04/23/2008 18:26:02 MDT.
For three-season hikes, I usually just wear my one pair of hiking socks, and carry a very lightweight pair of liner socks for sleep wear (to help keep my bag cleaner). One pair for hiking is sufficient for me because I don't get blisters from hiking in wet socks/shoes (YMMV). Also, no matter how soiled, it's fairly easy to wash a pair of socks and have them dry overnight. Again, for me, even if the socks should remain damp the next day, that doesn't bother my feet. At the end of the hike, when riding back home with others, I may change into my sleeping socks to avoid stinking up the entire car. :)For winter hikes where keeping dry is critical, I will carry extra pair(s) of hiking socks.
Edited by ben2world on 04/23/2008 19:17:36 MDT.
Steve,I use your exact system. I also use that sytem for gloves in the winter. I rotate the use of two pair of fleece gloves, but have shell gloves and heavier gloves in a waterproof stuff sack buried in the pack.Bens system works fine, but a change of socks is a real treat.

Live Nation Entertainment has expanded operations into Russia and the Ukraine - a territory with a combined population of over 200 million.
Tim McWilliams, currently VP of European Tour Operations for Live Nation Global Touring, has been named Managing Director, Live Nation Russia and Ukraine, which will be opening an office in Moscow soon.
"Establishing an office in Russia is the next step in our global expansion," said Michael Rapino, CEO of Live Nation Entertainment.

Alan Ridgeway, Live Nation President of International & Emerging Markets, said: "Due to the volume of live events that are already taking place in Russia and the Ukraine and the enormous growth potential, we wanted to establish a team to focus specifically on Live Nation's interests in the region. Tim has gained a wealth of knowledge from working with our Global Touring team, and not only has he worked producing high profile events around the world, but his extensive experience in Russia and the Ukraine makes him a perfect fit to direct Live Nation's business in the region."
Tim McWilliams, Managing Director, Live Nation Russia and Ukraine said: "Russia and the Ukraine are markets that deserve our attention and focus. We have learned this through our experiences over the years with artists such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, U2, Shakira and many others. We currently have a solid pipeline of business that goes through the region and this move will only strengthen our position. I am looking forward to working with both our existing and new partners as we develop and expand the company's presence in the region."

Another group that would also be financially impacted by raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 is existing Social Security beneficiaries, aged 67 and older. These beneficiaries would see their out-of-pocket health care costs increase, and consequently, their Social Security benefits effectively reduced. It is estimated that Part B premiums, which are automatically deducted from Social Security checks, would increase by 3 percent in 2014, or $46, on top of increases produced by rapidly rising health care costs. This would occur, because, on average, the healthiest, least expensive members of the Medicare risk pool, those aged 65 and 66, would be removed.
Costs to Social Security beneficiaries could be substantially higher than estimated here. The Kaiser Family Foundation report on which this analysis is based assumes the health insurance exchanges and subsidies enacted under the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) will be fully implemented by 2014, a prospect that is far from certain. If any or all of four key provisions of the ACA are scaled back or repealed—the expansion of Medicaid eligibility, the creation of health insurance exchanges, subsidies for individuals to purchase private insurance on the exchanges, and the individual health insurance mandate—the increase in out-of-pocket health care costs due to raising the Medicare eligibility age would be significantly higher and consume a much greater proportion of Social Security benefits as a result. Moreover, absent the ACA's coverage expansions, many more 65- and 66-year-olds would be uninsured altogether.
In addition, the out-of-pocket costs discussed in this analysis do not include the cost of medical services that are not covered by Medicare at all, including dental care and most kinds of long-term care, such as permanent residency in a nursing home. Accounting for these medical services would not have any bearing on the amount that out-of-pocket costs would increase if the Medicare eligibility were raised to 67. It would, however, show average out-of-pocket costs to be considerably larger under both current law and if the Medicare eligibility were raised to 67.

Rumors of high resolution tablets are commonplace these days, but the concept on desktop and notebook computers hasn't captured much traction. That may be starting to change with the latest rumor about a "Retina Display" type screen heading to Apple's notebook line.
According to Digitimes, Apple may be readying a 2880×1800 resolution MacBook Pro for next year.
Apple is likely to launch its new MacBook Pro lineup with a display resolution of 2880 by 1800 in the second quarter of 2012, setting a new round of competition for panel specifications in the notebook industry, according to sources in the upstream supply chain.
The 2880×1800 is double that of the standard 1440×900 resolution used on current 15″ MacBook Pros.
Much like the concept of a 960×640 resolution 3.5″ screen before the iPhone 4, this seems somewhat far fetched. Upon deeper inspection, the technology to support this type of screen is either in-place, or coming soon. Lion already has support for high resolution screens with 3200×2000 desktop wallpapers, 1024×1024 pixel icons, and accurate text rendering. On the graphics chip front, Intel's Ivy Bridge integrated graphics are set to support 4096×4096 resolution output upon release in Q2 next year.

Otaku Hime life is not always filled with watching drama, reading manga, browsing websites, making posts and be a nerd. In real life, I like to take care of my appearance. I am not a fashion victim, but I like to look nice. I am particularly taken to the Japanese popular fashion style. I love the feminin and soft feel that it eminates.
Surprisingly, in the first month of living in Jakarta, I met a Indonesian young lady, who is now a good friend of mine, whose style is very Japanese. She used to study in Japan and had graciously adapted the country's essence of style. She can easily pass as a Japanese oujo-sama.I've always thought that adopting the style would be difficult, but she proved me wrong. I can do it!

Aire Craft Audio recording studio owner Janis Panizza narrates author Marion Campbell's novel, The Dark Twin.â€
As a guest artist at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, professional narrator Janis Panizza was given the keys to the recording facilities for a week to record a portion of her most recent audiobook, The Dark Twinâ€, authored by Marion Campbell. The novel is comparable to a primitive version of Tristan and Isolde, a Celtic tale of love, spirituality, and tragedy.
Just as the author claims to have caught the story as it flew past her at her ancestral home in Scotland, so did the same spirit seize Janis Panizza with a great desire to record the writings of Marion Campbell. Janis' experiences in Guadalajara and the street musicians she met along the way strongly influenced her interpretation of the novel and encouraged her to discover inner reserves of strength and artistry, both of which are required to complete a marathon audiobook recording.
When interviewed by the online voice-overs blog VOX Daily and asked about the contribution her narration would make to the world of audiobooks, Janis replied that the fruit of her labor is a new classic that will stand the test of time. Sources have informed Ms. Panizza that the audiobook, while formidable in its own regard, has also surpassed the original, bringing the story to a new plateau.
Janis' vigor and dedication have set her apart as an independent audiobook producer. Her voice beckons to an age where time stands still, perfectly suited to the Celtic era in which the book takes place.
Those interested in the audiobook may purchase their copy online at Janis' website. Janis is currently narrating a documentary in Santa Monica, California.

Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham insisted Tuesday night that a Mullin Street resident should be made to pay a daily fine until the property owner removes the fence he installed last summer when he knew it violated city code.
At Tuesdays Watertown City Council meeting, the mayor said he would like to put financial pressure on Jacob S. Johnson by citing him on a daily basis for the chain-link fence on his property at 261 Mullin St. until he complies with the law.
Mr. Johnson has vowed he will not take down the fence without a fight. On Jan. 24, the city filed a lawsuit in state Supreme Court to compel him to remove or relocate it.
I think we should look at it as a code violation instead of going to state Supreme Court, Mr. Graham said afterward, adding it would save the city the time and money of litigating the matter at the state level.
The city, instead, could keep citing Mr. Johnson for the fence until it is removed, the mayor said. It was unclear Tuesday night how much in fines Mr. Johnson would face if he were cited for the violation daily.
But City Attorney Robert J. Slye reminded the mayor that City Manager Sharon A. Addison and the Code Enforcement Office agreed that the city should pursue the matter in state court because a Supreme Court judge would order the homeowner to remove the fence.
Our goal is to get him to comply, Mr. Slye said.
He pointed out that Mr. Johnson has thumbed his nose at both the Code Enforcement Office and the Zoning Board of Appeals when they rejected his requests to keep the fence up.
Contacted Tuesday night, Mr. Johnson said the matter should remain in state Supreme Court, where it would be argued legally.
Mr. Johnson has acknowledged that he built the fence after being told by the Code Enforcement Office that he would be violating city code. According to the code office, Mr. Johnson failed to obtain a permit for the project. The fence also violates the ordinance because chain-link fences are prohibited in residential areas within 20 feet of the street and because the fence is within 5 feet of Mr. Johnsons two neighbors driveways.
During Tuesday nights discussion, Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns also wanted to know about the status of Mr. Johnsons neighbor, who also has a fence in violation of the ordinance.
Merrill A. Peters, a 73-year-old disabled Vietnam veteran, said he did not know the chain-link fence was in violation when a Hounsfield fence company installed it at his Mullin Street home last summer.
The owner of Alpine Fence Co. has agreed to relocate the fence this spring to comply with the code, Mr. Slye said.

Question and answer details
|Dear scholar, as-salamu `alaykum.I have a question regarding Hajj. One of my friends told me that she read in an authentic book that the cost of a woman's Hajj is not compulsory on her husband. Is this true? Meaning, does a woman have to do her Hajj with her own money not her husband's?Jazakum Allah khayran!
|Sheikh `Attiyyah Saqr
Wa `alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear sister in Islam, thanks a lot for your question, which reflects your care to have a clear view of the teachings of Islam. Allah commands Muslims to refer to people of knowledge to become well acquainted with the teachings of Islam in all aspects of life.
It is well known that a husband must maintain his wife in terms of residence, clothing, food and general care. Yet it is not obligatory on him to provide for his wife's Hajj, for this is not part of the wife's maintenance. Taking one's wife to Hajj is an aspect of devotion to her, not an obligation.
In this concern, Sheikh `Atiyyah Saqr, former head of Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, states:
A husband is not obliged to bear the costs of his wife's Hajj, as it is not included in the marital maintenance, exactly as it is not obligatory for a father to pay for his son's Hajj. A husband has responsibility for the full maintenance of his wife. This means that he has to provide her with residence, clothing, food and general care. But it is not incumbent on him to provide for her Hajj.
A husband may pay for his wife's Hajj out of courtesy to the wife. So if he is financially able, then it is a sign of caring and kindness to the wife to take her for Hajj. Therefore, if a husband offers to take his wife for Hajj, she can accept without embarrassment.
Allah Almighty knows best.

1:30 p.m For the Love of – Afghan – Hounds
The very first AKC dog show I went to was won by an Afghan Hound, Ch. Dahnwood, 1968 Hound of the Year. I've loved the breed ever since. However, I will give the breed my "Ugly Duckling" award as the youngsters are pretty odd-looking, with profuse "monkey whiskers." The ugly duckling does grow into a beautiful swan that always draws "oohs" & "aahs" from the gallery. more
In many countries around the world, ear cropping has been banned. I am thankful that in the United States, we are still able to crop ears, but it's getting more and more difficult to find a vet who can and will do ear crops. Some breeders drive hundreds of miles to reach a vet who will crop their puppies' ears.
The greatest challenge facing breeders of traditionally cropped breeds is the American Veterinary Medical Association Board. In 32 years, the AVMA position has gone from supporting breeders' decisions to crop ears to viewing it as a purely cosmetic procedure. more

Murder of Marion Parker
|Marion Parker
October 11, 1915
Sebastian County, Arkansas
|December 17, 1927 (aged 12)
Los Angeles, California, United States
|Cause of death
|Homicide by strangulation
|United States
|Known for
|Murder victim, song inspiration
Marion Parker[1] (October 11, 1915 – December 17, 1927) was the 12-year-old daughter of Perry Parker, a prominent banker in Los Angeles. She had a twin sister named Marjorie. On December 15, 1927, Marion was abducted from her school by William Edward Hickman (February 1, 1908 – October 19, 1928), who called himself "The Fox." Her murder has since become the subject of folk songs.[2] The Los Angeles Times referred to this as "the most horrible crime of the 1920s."[3] Songs and some reports about Marion frequently misspell her name as Marian.
Hickman was born in Sebastian County, Arkansas,[4] the fourth of five children (but the youngest son) of William Thomas Hickman and his wife Eva (Buck) Hickman, who were separated sometime before 1928.[5] In that year, his father was living at El Paso, Texas while his mother and sister lived in Kansas City, Missouri.[6]
Abduction and murder[edit]
Hickman took Marion from her school, Mount Vernon Junior High School in the Lafayette Square section of Los Angeles, by telling the registrar, Mary Holt, that Perry Parker had been seriously injured in an accident and wished to see his daughter. Hickman was posing as an employee of the bank where Perry Parker worked. He did not realize there were twin Parker daughters, and did not know either child's name, but the school administrator turned one of the girls over to him. Holt said during Hickman's trial that she "never would have let Marion go but for the apparent sincerity and disarming manner of the man."
The next day Hickman sent the first of three ransom notes to the Parker home demanding $1,500 in $20 gold certificates. All the communications over the next few days were signed with names such as "Fate," "Death," and "The Fox." A first attempt to deliver the ransom was ruined when Hickman saw police in the area. Continued communications from Hickman set up a new meeting to exchange ransom at the corner of West 5th Street and South Manhattan Place in Los Angeles. Mr. Parker arrived alone at the place with the ransom money. Mr. Parker handed over the money to a young man who was waiting for him in a parked car. When he paid the ransom, he could see his daughter Marion sitting in the passenger seat next to the suspect, wrapped up to her neck and apparently unable to move. As soon as the money was exchanged, Hickman drove off, pushing Marion's body out of the car at the end of the street. The coroner later testified that she had been dead for about 12 hours. Her arms and legs had been cut off and she had been disemboweled and stuffed with rags. Her eyes were wired open so as to make her appear alive.[7] Hickman later said that he had strangled her and cut her throat first, but he believed that she was still alive when he began to dismember her. Her arms and legs were found on December 18 in Elysian Park wrapped in newspaper.[8] A towel stuffed into her body to absorb blood led police to Hickman's apartment building, but he managed to escape.
A massive manhunt for Marion's killer began that involved over 20,000 police officers and American Legion volunteers. A reward of $50,000 was offered for the identification and capture of the killer, dead or alive, later raised to $100,000.[8] Suspicion settled upon a former employee of Mr. Parker named William Edward Hickman. Several years before the abduction, Hickman was arrested on a complaint by Mr. Parker regarding stolen and forged checks. Hickman was convicted and did prison time.[8] Police traced a laundry mark on a shirt found with Marion's body to an apartment house in Los Angeles, where they questioned a man named Donald Evans who matched Hickman's description. Evans allowed the police to search his apartment, but they found no evidence and left. Evans then disappeared but was later identified as Hickman. The getaway car used at the ransom exchange had been found by police, and it was identified as having been stolen weeks before. Investigators had Hickman's fingerprints on file owing to his previous arrest and incarceration, and they matched them to prints found on ransom notes and on the getaway car.
Capture and execution of Hickman[edit]
A week after the murder, officers Tom Gurdane and Buck Lieuallen found Hickman in Echo, Oregon, and recognized him from wanted posters. He spent some of the ransom in Washington and Oregon. He subsequently confessed to kidnapping Marion, but blamed her murder on a man who was actually in jail during the time of the crime. He was extradited back to Los Angeles, where he confessed to another murder he committed during a drug store hold-up, as well as many other armed robberies.[7]
Hickman also confessed that he originally had no intention of killing Marion but did so because she had learned his identity and because he had been previously employed by her father at the bank. He also said that he had cut up the body with the intention of disposing of it, but later realized that the father would want to see his daughter before paying the ransom. He then attempted to reconstruct and disguise the body to make it appear alive.[9]
Hickman told his attorneys that he had killed Marion on the directive of a supernatural being called Providence. He was one of the earliest defendants to use California's new law that allowed pleas of not guilty by reason of insanity. However, in February 1928 a jury rejected his claim and he was sentenced to hang. He appealed the conviction, but the verdict was upheld by the California Supreme Court. On October 19, 1928, he was hanged on the gallows in San Quentin Prison.
Motives for the crime[edit]
Hickman pleaded insanity as his official motive at trial, although he had initially told police that he needed the $1,500 to go to a Bible college.[7] Evidence against his insanity defense included prison guards from Oregon who testified that Hickman had asked "how to act crazy." Prosecutors, however, speculated that he wanted revenge against Mr. Parker for testifying against him in his earlier trial for theft and forgery.[8] There is evidence that he did it in part for the notoriety because he told a reporter he wanted as much press coverage as high-profile killers Leopold and Loeb.[8]
Ayn Rand's The Little Street[edit]
In 1928, the writer Ayn Rand began planning a novel called The Little Street, whose protagonist, Danny Renahan, was to be based on "what Hickman suggested to [her]." The novel was never finished, but Rand wrote notes for it which were published after her death in the book Journals of Ayn Rand. In these notes Rand writes that the public fascination with Hickman is not due to the heinousness of his crimes, but to his defiant attitude and his refusal to accept conventional morals. She describes him as "a brilliant, unusual, exceptional boy" and speculates about the society that turned him into "a purposeless monster."[10] Rand wanted the protagonist of her novel to be "A Hickman with a purpose. And without the degeneracy. It is more exact to say that the model is not Hickman, but what Hickman suggested to me."[11] Rand scholars David Harriman (who edited the book in which the notes were published), Chris Matthew Sciabarra and Jennifer Burns all interpret Rand's interest in Hickman as a sign of her early admiration (and misinterpretation) of the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche, especially since she several times referred to Danny (the character which Hickman "suggested" to her) as a "Superman" (in the Nietzschean sense).[12][13][14][15]

Critics have often said of Obama that "it's all about him," that he has a tendency to reference himself no matter what subject he is discussing. Could he do any more to prove them right? But just to show that he is, in fact, humble, the president followed his opening sentence with this:
