Affter completing my turn as Head of Department, I am now working on the final editing of the results from The Transition to Late Antiquity, scheduled for publication next year (see current research, below). I was the British director of this large-scale field project (including excavation and field survey) from 1996. In 1995 I organized two projects in northern Greece, one on the site of ancient Philippi, the other just north of Katerini which resulted in the discovery of a new early Byzantine fortress or town at Louloudies, near ancient Pydna. My first project in Bulgaria (1985-1992), now published in 3 volumes, was designed to explore the physical character, economy and function of the late Roman city of Nicopolis in north central Bulgaria. The results of these two programmes in the context of other major European projects carried out within the Balkans were presented at a conference at the British Academy in 2003 (published in 2007). My work in Eastern Europe (behind the 'Iron Curtain' until 1989) was made possible by the establishment of strong research links with the Bulgarian National Archaeological Institute and regional museums, an opportunity which facilitated the organization of an international conference at Nottingham on the archaeology of Bulgaria in 1981, including sessions on Prehistoric, Roman and medieval archaeology (subsequently published in 1983). My appointment as lecturer in Roman archaeology at Nottingham took place in 1979, following a temporary post as lecturer in archaeology and ancient history in the University of Leeds (1978-9) when I completed and published my excavations at Old Penrith, Cumbria. After graduation in 1974, I carried out research, first in Birmingham, then at the Institute of Archaeology, University of London, and during a memorable year at the Institute of Archaeology, Bucharest. My passion for Roman archeology dates to my years at secondary school in Guildford, Surrey (St Peter's Catholic School) where my Latin and Geography teachers inspired an interest in ancient history but also in archaeology. Father Topp, my French teacher, first introduced me to field archaeology and, with his help, I participated in the excavation of a Roman villa at Ashtead in Surrey, an experience that determined my future career and led me to study Ancient History and archaeology at the University of Birmingham (1971-4)..

THE TRANSITION TO LATE ANTIQUITY, BULGARIA, 1996- The late Roman city programme (see above) demonstrated that the Roman city of Nicopolis ad Istrum had changed in physical appearance, economy and function during the early Byzantine period (c. AD 450-600), The challenge for this large scale initiative, in collaboration with Bulgarian archaeologists from the national Institute of Archaeology and the Veliko Turnovo Historical Museum, ,(involving annually up to two hundred field staff, specialists and students), was to seek an explanation why the traditional Roman city was transformed in the 5th century. The method involved two related but distinct approaches:: one to carry out excavations on the site of Dichin, a late Roman fortress (as at Nicopolis involving major ceramic and environmental research) and the second was to develop a new method of site-specific survey to explore the rural settlement in north central Bulgaria.

This, the first British research excavation carried out in Eastern Europe, was carried out in collaboration with Bulgarian colleagues on the site of Nicopolis ad Istrum, an ideal site for comparing the layout and functioning of a Roman and a late Roman urban centre. Central to the programme was environmental research and the construction of an on-site ceramic sequence. Not only was the early Byzantine site examined by a full geophysical survey and selective area excavation, a considerable amount of information came from well preserved 2nd - 4th century deposits. Consequently, it proved possible to reconstruct a continuous sequence of occupation from the foundation of Nicopolis early in the 2nd century down to its final destruction at the end of the 6th century AD. What emerged clearly form the results was that the Roman city was destroyed probably by the Huns c. 450 (when it was already in decline) and was replaced by an imperial military and religious centre and, though still described in historical sources as a polis, the new strongly fortified site was built and supported by central imperial funds. It was no longer tied to its rich agricultural territory, as had certainly been the case for the Roman city it replaced.

Ths research included two separate projects. The first successfully proved the potential for geophysical (resistivity) survey in the lower half of the ancient city of Philippi in north-eastern Greece.
The second task involved applying a new approach to intensive survey over an area (Louloudies) of 17ha surrounding a newly discovered and excavated late Roman quadriburgium, north of Katerini, in the fertile coastal lowland of the Pieria. The unusual conditions (all the land planted with grown crops) required a new approach to intensive survey but the results (combined with resistivity survey) proved remarkably successful. A previously unsuspected and major fortified 'city' was located 200m south of the quadriburgium. A substantial concentration of bricks with monogram stamps (along the western curtain-wall), together with ceramic finds, dated the new fortifications to the 6th to early 7th centuries AD, perched on the north bank of the Sourvala, with easy access to the Aegean.. As to the function of this site, it may be both a fortress, perhaps protecting the main east coast route which passed close by and used as a store base for the locally grown agricultural produce which could be easily shipped north to Thessaloniki, a city whose own territory was seriously threatened by Slav invasions, particularly in the early years of the 7th century.
The excellent results from the survey inspired the application and development of the survey methodology in the later 'Transition to Late Antiquity Programme' (see below).

The 'ancient city programme' provided new and invaluable information about the physical character and economy of Roman to Late Roman Nicopolis, as well as demonstrating the dramatic transformation of the city in the early Byzantine period. The 'Transition to Late Antiquity' proved of particular importance for the 5th century AD, proving that there had been an abrupt and radical change, an end to the villa economy and, apparently, a 'militarization' of the countryside, transferring control and land from any residual members of the urban elite to irregular military units (foederati ?), not only responsible for local defiance, but also involved directly in agricultural production and the gathering of agricultural resources for export, probably to supply the frontier garrisons on the Danube frontier.
Although occupation of the early Byzantine period was identified at both sites, domestic activity and the true character of life within the city and the fortress were more difficult to identify than the levels of the 2nd to 5th century AD. In fact, vey little is known for sure about the lower Danube in the latest period of Antiquity, from 500 to c. 650. The ancient literary sources chart a succession of invasions during the first half century but provide scant information about their impact or long term effect on the region. The second half of the 6th century is much better served with ancient sources but the evidence remains ambiguous: it has been argued by contemporary historians that there was then a significant revival in the fortunes of the Eastern Empire before the eventual loss of the region in the early 7th century. Alternatively, indications of military weakness within the Byzantine state and the growth of Avar power have been thought to reflect a long-term decline in Constantinople's ability to sustain its rule over this crucial section of frontier.
Consequently, a new agreement for a third research programme has been draw up and will be implemented in the coming year. Final editing of the excavations at Dichin and the field survey (Transition to Late Antiquity) are well advanced and the results will be submitted for publication early in 2009. The aim of the new initiative is to investigate this last period in the history of early Byzantine control on the lower Danube, defining how the region passed into its 'Dark Age' from which emerged the First Bulgarian Kingdom during the second half of the 7th century.
The method, as with the previous programmes, will involve two distinct but related projects. From northern Italy to the Black Sea, the most prominent features of the countryside in the 6th century are the numerous hill top fortifications. Few excavations have ever been carried out to determine the economic basis and the character of these strongholds. Their function as military forts or civilian strongholds, permanent sites or temporary refuges remains largely unknown. The type site of Dobri Dyal, east of Veliko Turnovo in northern Bulgaria, will be subject to large-scale excavation, invoilving ceramic and environmental analysis, to discover more about this form of settlement. The second target for research will be the open countryside. The site specific approach to intensive field survey (developed in the previous programme) will be applied but developed to reconstruct a total surface density plan of building and ceramic materials along a 5km stretch of the river Rositsa (around the excavated site of Dichin). A similar survey of a 5km section of the valley in which Dobri Dyal is situated will also be carried out. The latter possesses much less fertile land than the rich valley soils along the Rositsa, a region which formed the core of Nicopolis' agricultural hinterland and its economic base during the Early Roman Empire. To date, very little 6th century pottery has been found in the countryside (contrasting with the fortress of Dichin and Nicopolis). Possibly, the rich hinterland of Nicopolis had been abandoned in the 6th century and the local population, faced by repeated incursions, had withdrawn to the comparatively safer upland sites, exploiting only the adjacent but poorer quality land. Alternatively, the black 6th century wares, which are much less easy to identify in non-intensive survey, may still be there but in smaller concentrations, reflecting a change in settlement morphology rather than an abandonment of territory. The two surveys offer every prospect of proving what actually did happen during the 6th century, demonstrating either a major dislocation in settlement or continuity of occupation, albeit probably in dispersed small communities, less easy to detect than the major Roman villa sites with their substantial and readily visible concentrations of tile and red fabrics, so typical of the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. Particular care will be taken to dissect the latest periods of settlement, less easy to define, especially after the cessation of the monetary economy c. 600, but which may provide a uniquely important insight into the existence (or absence) of site continuity after the final withdrawal of Byzantine forces.
As a major research initiative, the new programme should help to illuminate the final stages in the transformation of a major part of the Roman Empire into the early modern period, a process of importance for Bulgaria and one which will also contribute to our understanding of the origins of medieval and modern Europe.

I could make a snide comment, but it takes a lot of money to be able to coordinate your car to your outfit, so what I say doesn't fucking matter.
All that white means she's a virgin, right?
Uh, it's a little early in the season for white jeans, isn't it Paris?
what the fuck is happening to me?
We're getting old, dude, and we've been at this a long time.
Fast and Fatuous.
Dont hate, but I think she is HOT.
I never thought I'd say this, but I totally would. She got hotter as she got older and stopped talking.
Usually, it would be the car that is called Herpes the Love Bug.
Damn, gotta give her credit for the LFA.
She is looking hot as fuck lately and dating her for her car collection alone would be worth it.
At least she didn't paint-rape her supercar pink like she used to….
why the fuck r ppl still taking her picture?!?! please let her die!!
I'd bet $5 that she drove off with the lemonade still on the hood of her car.

How to Avoid Sunspots on Skin
Sunspots on skin may indicate underlying skin conditions. Those people who have overly sensitive skin are prone to have sunspots especially during summer or early spring. And the condition may get worst if it is exposed to the sun.
Causes of sunspots on skin
Different skin conditions can cause sunspots on skin. Some of common causes of sunspots on skin may include the following:
Sun allergies
PMLE is one form of sun allergies, which can cause white sunspots on the skin after exposure to the sun. Some people may have burning sensation and redness of the skin, which can also be accompanied with swelling and some blistering in the affected area.
Fungal infection is another skin condition, which may cause sunspots on skin. Generally, fungal infection is not a serious medical condition however, it can cause bothersome effects when it gets visible to the skin especially when the white spots get to grow largely.
The sunspots due to fungal infection are often triggered by hot weather, oily skin and hormonal imbalance red prom dresses.
Treatment of Sunspots
Some treatment of sunspots may include:
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera leaf is one effective natural treatment for sunspots on skin. Cut the leaf lengthwise and apply it to the affected area. You may apply the aloe gel at least three times daily. This will boost skin healing much faster.
Keep hydrated
Hydration is important for your skin. To keep hydrated, drink at least 8 to 12 glasses of water.
Apply sunscreen
Never go out during the day without any sunscreen protection. You need sunscreen with higher SPF to protect you from sun exposure.
Avoid tanning beds
Tanning beds are not recommended for you, It is important that avoid tanning beds as it can give you wrinkles and may result to skin cancer.
In the end, it is important that you see your doctor when you observe sunspots on skin. Early treatment may avoid the sunspots from spreading to other parts of the body.

In the 1850 census of Kaw Township, Jackson County, Missouri, the Peart children are shown living with William and Rebecca Corel and their family. It is shown that Oney P. Biggs-Peart died in January 1850. Who was Oney? Is she somehow related to Rebecca Oney-Corel? The Peart father, Jonathan, lived Kaw Township, Jackson County, Missouri, perhaps as a border in 1850. Perhaps he was just unable to care for the young children and felt they would be better taken care of by William and Rebecca.
Over time I have come to be able to answer some of these questions. It does not appear that "Oney" Biggs-Peart was related to Rebecca Oney-Corel. Leona P. "Oney" Biggs was born to Moses A. and Elizabeth Surface-Biggs.
Jonathan Peart was born about 1809 in Kentucky according to the 1850 census. I have been unable to find any other information about Jonathan, other than his marriage to Oney Biggs on August 23, 1842.
Oney Biggs, born April 28, 1824 in Montgomery County, Virginia, was the third of twelve children born to Elizabeth Surface and Moses Allen Biggs. The Biggs family moved to Johnson County, Indiana in 1830. After a couple of years they moved further west to Jackson County, Missouri.
Jonathan and Oney had three children, all born in Missouri:
- Stewart was born about 1843.
- Mary Louisa was born September 7, 1844.
- William B. was born July 25, 1848.
Oney Biggs Peart passed away in Kansas City, Clay County, Missouri on January 9, 1850. By August of that year, when the census was recorded, the children were living with Rebecca and William Corel, and Jonathan Peart was living with another family, not far away.
After the 1850 census, the Peart children are nearly as elusive as their father! I have not yet been able to find anything further on Stewart Peart. Corel family researcher, Bobby Dobbins Title has been able to ascertain that Jonathan Peart served in the Civil War and lived the remainder of his days in Kansas.

Truly interesting thread, may have to try Pyro more in the future. Not rushing to buy though, still enjoying DD-X.
The bulk of the zone system examples and discussions and even most exposure discussions I've seen center on landscape and still-life's where shadow & highlight detail actually matter. That isn't always the case, the subject matters.
Applying the zone system in portraiture for example, where the placement of the face exposure trumps the rest of the frame, is possible but not near as straight forward as shooting to the shadows and measuring contrast range for landscape work.
Roll film complicates zone system application and understanding too. Practicalities with rolls pushes us away from changes in development.
Modern metering systems also throw kinks in the understanding, the zone system doesn't live in a vacuum.
When I came back to photography 6 or 8 years ago I got an L-358 incident meter right off. Since then I've tried every type of metering available and I am capable of applying them all, but when it comes to printing the negs, and once I got a handle on printing and VC paper, I found the ones where I used the incident meter's suggestions at box speed and my normal development regimes for a particular film, almost always print easiest and most pleasing and lack little if any needed detail.
In that context applying the whole zone system is confusing, there's always the nagging "why bother?" hanging in the air.
Reading Dunn & Wakefield's exposure manual was a zone system epiphany for me, it taught me where it was appropriate and where other methods could be applied for better result in my work.
When I was learning to fly small planes I used to drive my Dad who was already a pilot crazy because I flew more intuitively than procedurally. He expected certain things at certain times, but I'd apply different controls/strategies. The end results were very comparable, nice smooth landings. My Dad's approaches were linear, mine were more, well, artistic. (Just in case you are wondering, my instructor was quite happy with my "style". Always well within the capabilities of the plane and the safety of all concerned.)

Although much media attention has focused on how dogs can improve the social skills of children with autism, a researcher recently found that children with autism have stronger social skills when any kind of pet lived in the home.Children with autism who live with pets are more assertive - Read more
Minute movements of autistic children and parents provide clue to severity of disorder
[03/12/2014] Imperceptible variations in movement patterns among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are important indicators of the severity of the disorder in children and adults. For the first time, researchers at Indiana University and Rutgers University report developing a quantitative way to assess these otherwise ignored variations in movement and link those variations to a diagnosis.Minute movements of autistic children and parents provide clue to severity of disorder - Read more

Ian Williams and Bjorn Hansen battle it out at Match Cup Sweden 2008 Image © Dan Ljungsrik
The phenomenally warm and sunny weather persisted in Marstrand, bringing out an estimated 35,000 spectators Thursday to watch the final flights of the round robin in Match Cup Sweden.
Leading the final pack is last year's runner-up on the Tour, Mathieu Richard and his French Match Racing Team, who managed to win nine of eleven matches. This is an impressive record indeed given the strong field here at this event, where the reigning World Champion Ian Williams (GBR) and Team Pindar and Damien Iehl (FRA) and his French Match Racing Team, joined Ben Ainslie and Paolo Cian of Italy on the benches.
'We hope to continue this momentum into the next round,' said Richard, as we had a good feeling on board and we will try and continue this.'
Richard will meet eighth place finisher Bjorn Hansen (SWE) and his Alandia Sailing Team, who is the returning champion of this event from last year and a runner-up at the Tour's first stage event, the Brasil Sailing Cup. Hansen just squeaked through with five wins on a tie-break with Sebastian Col (FRA) of the French Match Racing Team/K-Challenge, and Williams, but it was the British who did not go through.
'We are obviously very disappointed, because normally five wins is enough to get through to the next round, and I thought in general we were sailing well. But we just didn't have the opportunities come to us today, so we'll look forward to doing better at the next event,' said Williams. And even though Team Pindar faltered here last year as well, Williams said he still felt 'This is a fantastic event, one of the best on the Tour.'
After being defeated in his last match, Williams still did not give up, having filed a red-flag protest for redress against the Race Committee, alleging his call for having not entered in the last match by a mere 10 cm was due to inconsistencies in the way the race managers are judging the ends of the starting line. The Jury disallowed the request, so the results were allowed to stand.
But one match Williams did win was one of the more exciting of the day, where Peter Gilmour (AUS) and his PST Team received a penalty flag while tacking off the rocks on the second beat of the race. Then at the top mark Gilmour tried to set a trap for Williams by luffing him well upwind of the windward mark, but in so doing earned himself yet another penalty. Required to shed this penalty turn straight away, Gilly instead delayed enough to prompt yet a third penalty, and earn a disqualifying black flag, his second in this event.
Despite this glitch, Gilmour finished fourth in the round robin and thus will meet his younger Australian protégé Torvar Mirsky and the Mirsky Racing Team. This event last year was Mirsky's debut on the Tour, having gained an invitation at Gilmour's urging when the elder Australian had to attend to a coaching obligation at the America's Cup, and the two had trained together in their home port of Perth. So tomorrow will be like a contest between the Master and his Apprentice, where the score is now even: Mirsky defeated Gilmour in last month's Korea Match Cup, and Gilmour defeated Mirsky today in the round robin.
Other pairings for tomorrow include: Magnus Holmberg (SWE) and his Victory Challenge team against Korea Match Cup winner Sebastian Col, and Match Cup Germany runner-up Jes Gram-Hansen (DEN) and his Trifork Racing Team pitted against Day One's leader Mattias Rahm (SWE) and his Stena Bulk Racing team.
Round Robin results:
1. Mathieu Richard (FRA), French Match Racing Team 9–2
2. Magnus Holmberg (SWE), Victory Challenge 7-4
3. Jes Gram-Hansen (DEN), Trifork Racing Team 7-4
4. Peter Gilmour (AUS), PST Team 7-4
5. Torvar Mirsky (AUS), Mirsky Racing Team 6-5
6. Mattias Rahm (SWE), Stena Bulk Racing 6-5
7. Sébastien Col (FRA), French Match Racing Team/K-Challenge 5-6
8. Björn Hansen (SWE), Alandia Sailing Team 5-6
9. Ian Williams (GBR), Team Pindar 5-6
10. Damien Iehl (FRA), French Match Racing Team 4-7
11. Ben Ainslie (GBR), Team Origin 4-7
12. Paolo Cian (ITA), Team Shosholoza 1-10

The Convention on Biological Diversity: An Institutionalist Perspective of the Debates
Boisvert, Valerie, Caron, Armelle, Journal of Economic Issues
Biodiversity came out as a global issue from the mid 1980s, under the pressure of converging forces: the threatening increase in species extinction and the changes in the theory as well as in the practice of nature conservation, but also the expansion of genetic engineering and the intrusion of industrial interests into areas from which they had been hitherto excluded. These elements have participated in the development of utilitarian perceptions of nature, reduced to a set of resources thanks to new technologies that have made its extensive economic exploitation possible. The Convention on Biological Diversity, adopted in 1992 during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, is in line with this approach (UNEP 1992). Indeed, the Convention rests on the notion of sustainable use of biological resources (first article), that is, an exploitation that meets the criteria of efficiency and equity and is meant to finance conservation but also to foster development in countries of the South and to benefit pharmaceutical a nd agricultural industries.
The Convention presents the definition of adequate property rights to biological resources and related knowledge as an essential prerequisite for the institution of the sustainable use--hence of the conservation--of biodiversity. This analysis comes to adhere implicitly to the conventional view of biodiversity erosion as a consequence of the appropriation failure that prevailed prior to the adoption of the Convention. Transnational corporations then had free access to indigenous resources--including knowledge--and after screening they could patent parts of these resources or their applications, depriving their former holders of their traditional use rights, as attested by the examples of neem in India or yellow bean in Mexico, both patented by American firms (RAFI 2000; Kloppenburg 1991). Bioprospecting was then exposing local communities, who--following Wesley Hohfeld's terminology--had "no rights," to the avidity of transnational firms in a position of "privilege" (Hohfeld 1913; 1917).
The definition of adequate rights aims at instituting the conditions of negotiated and mutually profitable access to biological resources. It is also presented as an incentive to undertake appropriate conservation actions. To that purpose, the Convention reaffirms the sovereignty of the states on their biological resources (preamble, art. 3), invites preservation of the knowledge, innovation, and practices of "indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles" with appropriate rights (art. 8j), and formally records the extension of intellectual property rights to life forms (art. 16,5).
The legal regime propounded is presented as the necessary prelude to the introduction of bilateral market-like contracts between the holders of biological resources (states, public organizations, or indigenous communities) and their users (firms of the life industry). These contracts would allegedly enable the optimal allocation of genetic resources and contribute to ensure the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from their sustainable use.
In refusing to answer the problem of biodiversity by the implementation of an international regulation mechanism, the Convention has carried out a radical break, It pertains to the new prevailing approach of conservation, also propounded by other institutions (CITES, World Bank, OECD, etc.) (OECD 1997, 1998; Swanson, Barbier 1992; Swanson 1994). This approach is inspired by the theory of property rights that has its foundation in the Coase theorem. It draws moreover a certain defiance toward collective action and communal institutions from Garrett Hardin's famous fable of "The Tragedy of the Commons." It is eventually reinforced by the liberal theses of new resource economics (Anderson 1992; Anderson, Hill 1975; 1983; Anderson, Leal 1991) and by the pervasive ideology of globalization. Accordingly, it leads to the promotion of exclusive and transferable rights to genetic resources, species, and, if possible, ecosystems to allow the creation of markets guaranteeing their efficient allocation. …

Fresh out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan has a lot of work to do to continue her recovery and on top of that, she has to answer to Oprah Winfrey.
Appearing on Oprah's Next Chapter, a preview of the in-depth interview reveals that the Queen of Daytime isn't messing around when it comes to the tough questions.
She's one of the wealthiest women in the world, so when Oprah Winfrey was refused service while shopping in Zurich, Switzerland something smelled fishy.
The "Oprah's Next Chapter" star told "Entertainment Tonight" that she experienced racism while abroad, with a store clerk telling her that a handbag was "too expensive" for her.
She's chatted with thousands of celebrities during the course of her career, and Oprah Winfrey isn't sure that Lindsay Lohan has what it takes to stay clean and sober.
Following their epic interview, the "Oprah's Next Chapter" star was left feeling a bit uneasy about the troubled "Mean Girls" gal.
Making the rounds to promote her new movie, Oprah Winfrey appeared on "Good Morning America" in New York City on Tuesday (August 6).
The Queen of Daytime wore a pretty knee-length purple dress as she arrived ready to talk up "Lee Daniels' The Butler."
Originally planning to jet off to Europe soon after being released from rehab, Lindsay Lohan cancelled her plans thanks to some advice from Oprah Winfrey.
Scheduled to take flight on Monday night, the "Mean Girls" star was hoping to get away from it all, but the Queen of Daytime convinced her that the threat of relapse would be too great without a support system nearby.
Stepping out to show off their latest work, the cast of "The Butler" lined the red carpet at the film's New York premiere on Monday evening (August 5).
Turning heads in a little black dress and a bedazzled sling, Mariah Carey arrived at the Ziegfeld Theater on the arm of her hubby, Nick Cannon.
Taking time away from interviewing others, Oprah Winfrey rocked a massive afro on the cover of O magazine's September 2013 issue.
While donning a gorgeous orange dress with the 3.5-pound wig, the former Queen of Daytime dished about her new artificial locks and reveals her battle with constant hair issues.
Preparing for what is sure to be a much talked-about film, the stars of Lee Daniels' "The Butler" attended a press conference at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on Monday (August 5).
Enjoying a return to the big screen now that her daily talk show is over, Oprah Winfrey wore a gray top and matching slacks as she smiled brightly for photos.

Shut your ****ing mouth.
You don't know a single thing about me.
So I heard what you said when he walked away.
Don't you think I can add up the numbers.
It's a sour taste.
A knowledge I wish would never have gained.
So you think you could match me?
Well these are the things I see.
A perfect body. A twisted mind.
Starvation and loathing.
We **** 'til it bleeds.
Stratch claw and scream.
'Til it feels like I'm almost alive...
/ These are the words to justify / All against all
I'm so sick and tired of it. Treat me like meat.
Tear me to pieces and feed the dogs.
A thousand polite tiny lies
and I memorized every single one of them.
Did you think for a second I'd give you a taste -
well I'm sorry to say:
You could turn yourself inside out - I'd still walk away.
Repeat chorus
Broken promises
Like ashes through my fingers
It eats away my senses and my soul
I wither - perhaps I said too much?
I just want somebody I can trust
Repeat chorus

Keep dirty businesses out of New Mexico
People are already leaving New Mexico for lack of jobs. Coyote-killing contests and a horse slaughterhouse will not bring the people back, nor the employers that are looking for progressive states to establish their companies. What we need is the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, Spaceport America and to kick the tea partiers out of this state who are hurting the New Mexico economy with their dated and backward philosophies and theories that do not work, starting with our own U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce.
Northern New Mexico needs to start claiming southern New Mexico so we can act as a united voice to protect our beloved state from being the dumping ground of businesses like this slaughterhouse that no other state wants. The ones that kept it out had the backing of their politicians and grassroots efforts to keep out dirty businesses!
In New Mexico, we must prevail and protect our culture and way of life. These are hard times for New Mexico and this has always been one special kind of state that has already made milestones with creation of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, and sanctuary for most of the great apes at the Alamogordo facility through the Great Apes Protection and Cost Savings Act.

Goodman wrong on tea party portrayal
Re: Peter Goodman article, "Why do we vote against our interests?," on Jan. 5.
Peter Goodman is an embarrassment. He writes the most bigoted and racist column next to Michael Hayes (also published by this paper) I have ever encountered.
The tea party wants government to be fiscally responsible and not bloated. Goodman called them racists and haters.
The 2008 financial real estate crisis was caused by the government requiring FNMA and FMAC to buy mortgages regardless of their quality. Purchasers and mortgage brokers complied and produced more junk mortgages that ever before. The banks bought them and FNMA and FMAC moved them through the system. Each of these parties was complicit.
The government is primarily incompetent. They couldn't even build a Web page properly.
Yet Goodman thinks the government is our savior.
Well folks, we are the government. We need to help those in need. Take care of your family members, your neighbors and those standing in front of you in line. Scream when you see the person in front of you using food stamps to buy $100 beef tenderloins.
Working is what made America great, not the welfare system. If you need help, I'm all for helping you. Just not forever. Getting help is a gift not a permanent way of life.

What a difference a comma makes
The AP picture of the Orthodox Church in Tbilisi, Georgia, in Wednesday's (Jan. 8) paper on Page 2 included the sentence: "Christmas falls on Jan. 7 for Orthodox Christians, who use the Julian calendar." The sentence should have read "Christmas falls on Jan. 7 for Orthodox Christians who use the Julian calendar."
In fact, most Orthodox in the United States follow the Gregorian calendar for Christmas. Only the Bulgarian, Serbian and Ukrainian jurisdictions follow the old calendar, along with the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia (ROCOR). All others use the Gregorian calendar. In New Mexico, the only parish that follows the old calendar is St. Juliana of Lazarevo, Santa Fe, which is a ROCOR parish.

Concerns about more homes on East Mesa
In the Dec. 23 newspaper, there was an article about development of the East Mesa. Is this going to be another development where the city does not know how to handle the developers?
La Mancha Estates sure proved the city did not know diddly squat about developers. I read the entire article and the only mention of roads was Engler Road. I hope the city is making this developer put up a bond sizable enough to complete anything Siena Norte cannot or will not complete per the plan. I also hope the city has learned not to give the bond back to the developer if he walks away from the development, as they did with La Mancha Estates. There was no mention of putting in paved streets with cement sidewalks along with lighting except for Engler Road.
How about flood control? There was no mention of flood control. There was one word that scared and puzzled me, flexibility. To quote from the article, "flexibility is the name of the game when it comes to PUD." There is no flexibility. Make it like the blueprint. If there is no flood control and there is major damage done in this development, Responsibility will fall on the shoulders of the city of Las Cruces.

"I was very honored on behalf of all the hard work of the women and men of the Ontario County Sheriff's Office to accept the award," Povero said. "It was the total effort of a lot of hours of working on various programs to enhance safety on Ontario County highways."
Povero said the department's traffic safety programs include public outreach about the dangers of car-deer crashes and working in cooperation with other local sheriff's offices and the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee to address traffic issues relating to the Amish and Mennonite communities in the area who travel by horse and buggy. Those initiatives include warning signs at identified high-risk locations for crashes.
The sheriff's office has also partnered with Wayne, Yates, Livingston and Wyoming County sheriff's offices for the Rural Traffic Enforcement Initiative to examine causal factors of crashes, such as excessive speed and distracted driving, and focus traffic law enforcement in areas where there are a higher number of crashes, Povero said.
"We formed a cooperative effort to jointly identify traffic concerns in rural areas," he said.
The award comes shortly after the sheriff's office received the Law Enforcement Recognition of Excellence award from STOP-DWI New York and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Povero said the award recognizes efforts to deter impaired driving on county highways in 2012, among them, speaking in high school classrooms and working with establishments that sell alcohol regarding proper sales.

BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 hands-on
RIM, and its BlackBerry phones, have always been a big hit with the corporate contingent, stringing together countless handsets which appeal to the heavy business user - thanks in part to its excellent QWERTY setup and reliable push email.
So it was with an air of anticipation and excitement that we got hands-on with the new Bold of the five-handset lineup - its largest global handset launch ever - to see whether it carries on that fine business BlackBerry tradition.
Thinness seems to be the order of the day with both the Bold 9900 and 9930 (one handset, different carrier name) - being just 10.5mm thick - making it RIM's skinniest smartphone yet.
This thinness, during our initial inspection at least, was not quite Samsung Galaxy SII levels of skinny, but definitely added a bit of excitement to the BlackBerry mix. It was also nice to see RIM keeping up its traditionally solid approach to handset design, with the Bold feeling nice to hold in the hand and the metal wraparound a particularly nice touch.
The big selling point of handsets like the Bold is of course the QWERTY keyboard, which doesn't disappoint. The key size and solid feel to each button means even the most addicted of BBMers will find the Bold a good typing choice.
The screen has also undergone a major revamp. The 640 x 480 display is much, much brighter and thanks to the new BlackBerry 7 OS feels much more responsive. Viewing angles were good, blacks looked deep and all in all it looks like RIM has had a major screen rethink across all its new handsets.
It also boasts NFC capabilities, as was rumoured when details of the handset first started to circulate in webland. We unfortunately didn't get to try this out, but expect more when Pocket-lint gets a lengthier time to play with the device.
On the back of the handset is a 5-megapixel camera capable of shooting 720p video. The cam was suitably impressive, a bit like the PlayBook and featured image stabilisation as well as different scene modes. The handset itself was sitting in a relatively poorly lit room and we didn't notice much noise when snapping. Shots were also sharp and well saturated.
BlackBerry 7 is a significant jump for RIM in terms of touch sensitivity and social networking integration. BBM now sits within certain apps and games as well as featuring a more diverse set of sharing options. The Liquid Graphics tech included chugs along nicely on the Bold thanks to the 1.2GHz processor and 768MB of RAM. It means that the UI is a lot more snappy and things generally load quicker.
The browser in BlackBerry 7 has also been sped up, boasting a 40 per cent speed hike over previous BlackBerry 6 devices. It was most definitely noticeable when loading up web pages, particularly compared to our previous generation Torch.
We definitely like the look and feel of the new Bold. It is very well designed, thin and carries that signature high quality BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard. The screen improvements are welcome as is the processor speed. What we cannot be so sure about without lengthier time with the handset is actually how good BlackBerry 7 is. It could be the icing on the cake in a package that could send BlackBerry back into the game.
Like the look of the Bold? Or are you not convinced?

Attorney General Eric Holder defended his legacy Tuesday as he announced a $1.37 billion deal to settle allegations that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services issued inflated ratings for mortgage bonds ahead of the financial crisis.
He began the event with a sly reference to last week's confirmation hearing of his would-be successor, Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch. Asked repeatedly by Republican senators how she'd be different from Mr. Holder, a frequent target of their ire, she deflected by saying: "I'm Loretta Lynch." She didn't disavow Mr. Holder, but she didn't defend him either.
So when Mr. Holder stepped up to the podium, he said: "For the record, I am Eric Holder." Read More »

Part of Nigeria under state of emergency because of rebellion
LAGOS, Nigeria — Admitting Islamic extremists control some of his nation's villages and towns, Nigeria's president declared a state of emergency on Tuesday across the country's troubled northeast and promised to send more troops to fight what he said is now an open rebellion.
President Goodluck Jonathan, on state radio and television networks, warned that any building suspected to house Islamic extremists would be taken over in what he described as the "war" facing Africa's most populous nation. Previous use of emergency powers, however, failed to stop the bloodshed.
Since 2010, more than 1,600 people have been killed in attacks by Islamic terrorists, according to an Associated Press count.
The military said Islamic fighters now use anti-aircraft guns mounted on trucks, outgunning the country's overstretched security forces.

Hands On: Offload (OS X, Windows)
11/01, 11:20pm
Copy utility software makes dumping pictures, footage to drive, backup easier
Dealing with the aftermath of a day of recording video or snapping photos can be time-consuming. Videos and photos are often spread across different memory cards and storage devices, all of which require attention to transfer to editing stations and backup locations. Offload from Red Giant looks to make that a little easier. Like many of Red Giant's other pieces of software, Offload is built with videographers and photographers in mind. It makes it easier to transfer a bunch of files in one action, rather than taking two or more.

Hi guys.
My father and I have started a new business venture.
After having a retail business for 13 years and getting tired of sitting in a shop all day, we're braving the new world of DTG prints. We print using an Epson Surecolor F2000 (we personally do it ) on either Fruit of the Loom Heavyweight, belcoro yarn shirts or a brand of shirt that is locally manufactured (100% ring spun cotton) depending on which colour is picked.
All art is done by me, and is unique to our shop. Designs will be added weekly and new ranges introduced as well.
These shirts are available internationally - and retail for $25 each (which includes worldwide shipping).

India's top business groups have warned an "atmosphere of fear" is developing in corporate circles that could hurt economic growth after police accused a leading industrialist of corruption.
Earlier in the week, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a case accusing Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of conglomerate Aditya Birla Group, of conspiring to obtain a coal block for a cut-rate price.
"Reputations of institutions and individuals take years to build," Kris Gopalakrishnan, president of the Confederation of Indian Industry, said late Friday.
"Extreme caution needs to be exercised before any action is taken which jeopardises reputations," he said in a statement, adding, "the creation of an atmosphere of fear is not desirable."
The CBI decision to file the case over the 2005 coal allotment against Birla, 46, viewed in the corporate world as a conservative rule player, has sent shock waves through the business community.
"It goes without saying such developments dent the national psyche and also dampen investor confidence, both domestic and foreign," said Gopalakrishnan.
The deterioration in the corporate climate comes as India's economy has fallen into a deep slump, growing by just 4.4 percent in the last financial quarter — half the nearly double-digit rates notched up in the last decade.
Birla joins a string of prominent figures named in the coal probe and a series of others graft scandals that have rocked the Congress-led government and claimed several coalition ministers.
Birla was accused of conspiracy along with the former coal secretary, P.C. Parakh. Both have denied any wrongdoing.
The controversies have cast a dark shadow over the prospects of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government in general elections due by next May.
Separately, the president of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry Naina Lal Kidwai, called the accusations against Birla "unfortunate".
"We find that cases are being registered against top bureaucrats and industry icons," Kidwai, a prominent banker, said.
"Capable and highly regarded officers and business leaders cannot be made scapegoats of mere suspicion and misconstrued actions," she said.
