Why Are Rivers So Comforting?
There is an eastern and a western philosphy of why rivers are a metaphor for life and the life that goes on after death.
In books, movies, songs, and even in ordinary, everyday life, there's nothing like a river to put the confusions of existence in perspective – to remind you than there are larger and more important things going on in the universe than whatever's preoccupying you at the moment.
Any historian will tell you that human beings have favored river sites for the building of their dwellings since the Stone Age. There are important economic and social explanations for why this is so (rivers are good places to live for a lot of reasons), but the real reason why people like to live by rivers isn't economical or sociological at all, but philosophical: Living by a river helps remind you of what life is really all about.
Here, however, things get a little complicated, because it turns out that there are not one but two basic answers that rivers provide to this question.
The first one – what one could call the Eastern Answer – is exemplified by this passage from "Siddhartha," Herman Hesse's famous novel about the life of the Buddha.
"He looked lovingly into the flowing water, into the transparent green, into the crystal lines of its wonderful design. He saw bright pearls rise from the depths, bubbles swimming on the mirror, sky blue reflected in them… He saw that the water continually flowed and flowed and yet it was always there; it was always the same and yet every moment it was new."
Because rivers never stop moving and because they eventually overwhelm anything that stands in their way, they are symbolspar excellence
of the transience and fragility of life – of the fact than nothing down here on earth is ever totally rock solid, ever totally safe from change and destruction. Change alone, say the advocates of the Eastern Answer, is all that ultimately endures.
If this doesn't sound all that comforting to you, it probably means that you're a believer in the other answer to the conundrum of life that rivers provide: the Western Answer. According to this one, rivers are symbols not only of endless change but also of endurance: of the fact that though nothing seems to endure or stay the same for long down here on earth, something really does abide all the same. As more than one Gospel song points out, rivers may flow forever, but they all flow to a definite place: the sea.

Recognize: This year's summer box office numbers are in! $4.17 billion bones, by our last count. Which also happens to be the entire United Nations Operating Budget. What am I saying? Dolla dolla bills, y'all. Dolla. Dolla. Bills.
Don't tell me that global warming isn't caused by the recession, or that price inflation isn't melting our polar ice caps. That's right. I went there. $4.17 billion dollars!
This Year's Top Ten:
(click each title to read our review)
1. $399.4 mil: Transformers: Revenge of the the Fallen
2. $294.3 mil: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
3. $289.6 mil: Up
4. $270.2 mil: The Hangover (Record Breaker! Highest grossing R-rated comedy of all time.)
5. $256.7 mil: Star Trek
6. $193.3 mil: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
7. $179 mil: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
8. $176.5 mil: Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian
9. $160 mil: The Proposal (Record Breaker! Highest grossing summer rom-com of all time.)
10. $133.4 mil: Angels and Demons (Record Breaker! Only movie in the Top 10 Box Office Hits of Summer 2009 to likely be overtaken by G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra…in about two hours.)
Honorable Mention: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra comes in at #11 (for now…), with $132.2 million, after four weeks in theaters.
In every summer movie season, there are winners and losers. Them's the breaks:
CGI. Well over half of this summer's top ten movies feature prevalent-if-not-prominent CGI and/or animation. Be it an entire animated picture, the vast and lonely universe, or possibly racist robots, computer generated imagery is the balls. If you're looking to watch the facial lines of Sean Penn or Mickey Rourke's pocked-up tan lines execute a beautiful story of the triumph of the human spirit, you've come to wrong rodeo. The unwashed masses have spoken, and it's categorically true: 2009 will be known in cinematic circles everywhere as The Summer of Blowing Shit Up.
Sacha Baron Cohen. Although I thought it was hilarious, Bruno averaged like 11 cents per theater.
Escapism. Ah, summer. Time to suspend reality. Let the mind wander. Allow yourself to be unencumbered by the necessary plausibility of the harsher times of year…
No — fucking, seriously. Look at that list again. Absolutely none of these stories are remotely probable. Fighting robots? Eric Bana as a Romulan? A vatican conspiracy with adamantium claws? I can handle that. But, why would Ryan Reynolds get even half a chub for Sandra Bullock? Fantastical! And who would have their bachelor party in Vegas?! Psh. I can see right through that one.
Actors Who Are Famous & Make Lots of Money. Will Ferrell's movie bombed. Meryl Streep was a bit clownish, even for yet another one of her largely flawless performances. Tom Hanks's vehicle will predictably fall out of the top ten. Adam Sandler/Judd Apatow's Funny People – while funny – is limping by. I completely forgot about Jonny Depp's Public Enemies until I just wrote this sentence. Get the idea?
While there will be some obvious exceptions to this rule, (Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds with Brad Pitt, for one. That oughta net some coin.) some of the most iconic and memorable characters of this record-breaking summer are no-names, cameos, or simple character actors.
Is it more about the spectacle? Is it more about A-Lister's summer movie role choices? Or is it more about the fact that I'd pay to see the closing credits of The Hangover ten times over and hey-there's-that-guy-from-The-Office-oh-and-by-the-way-who-is-this-Bradley-Cooper-character? I don't know. You tell me. Either way, if you're considered an A-List actor, and you had a movie this summer, well…not so fast, anyone-but-the-Harry-Potter-kid. Don't quit that work you're doing for Oscar season just yet. Looks like you're gonna need it.
And the Big Winner?
Franchise Films. Michael Bay made an overbearing, 149-fucking-minute movie about robots. Star Trek got a sexy 21st century reboot. Harry Potter continues to dominate the family-friendly/tween market. Ice Age once again pissed off creationists. Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Hank Azaria and friends continued to bogart the actual enculturation of today's youth by making films that cost more than the price of museum admission. Even Angels & Demons managed to eke out a (however unsecure) spot in the top ten.
You know, we Americans truly are a simple people, asking only to come out of the hot sun and to be entertained with familiar story lines and delicious popcorn. Except in the case of The Hangover, we largely ask not to be bothered with learning new names, joke structures, plot lines, alternatives to a Leonard Nimoy reprisal, or catch phrases. We don't want to craft truly new conceptions of zeitgeist, but only to be reminded, through countless permutations, that we are already hip to it. In other words, we just want to see what we've already seen before, but with just enough different and new so as to capture our attention and make us smile until it's time to put the kids down for a nap/get handsy with our summer fling. Or movies based on books written at a 6th grade reading level or classic toys. We like those, Hollywood. We certainly like those.
What's your top pick for Summer 2009?

Meet My Friend Pythagoras
by Ken Pomeroy on Monday, August 2, 2004
Andy Katz recently published his preseason top 50 for the upcoming season. He did a very thorough job and I think captured something close to what the preseason polls will have. Although I am a little puzzled as to why Gonzaga is ranked as low as 22. At any rate, it's time to start speculating on the upcoming season.
Part of doing that is accurately assessing how good a team was last year. Some opinions will be inflated and some deflated based on the distribution of luck. Can we quantify which teams were lucky and which teams were unlucky last year? We can take a shot at it. (Why do I keep saying we? I am sounding like Beano Cook here.)
Bill James can help us. He's a genius who unfortunately has applied his genius to Major League Baseball. He was the one who invented the Pythagorean Theorem of…

New Report Finds 12% Of Tuition Goes To Athletics
A new report shows approximately 12 percent of tuition and fees paid by students attending Virginia's public colleges and universities during last year went to athletics. That is the word frrom the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission. The report says state institutions charged an average of nearly 12-hundred dollars in mandatory athletic-related fees during the school year. The General Assembly had directed the commission to find ways to cut down on the cost of higher education.

Good article
I will incorporate this into my completion checklists
Very useful thanks Steve
The "provision" aspect is one that always gets the client going and trying to find their paperwork. We had our first ever "compliance check" over related parties two months ago, it was satisfied by a simple list to back up the return but was still a wake up call.
Bad debt provisions
Thanks for the article.
I have heard it mentioned on several courses in the last year or so that there is now no distinction between specific and general bad debt provisions for companies. (Unincorporated business are still on the old rules)
The speakers have stated that, since FA 2005, any impairment for trade debts is now within the loan relationship rules and therefore any provision (whether specific or general) is allowable unless it is to a connected party.
My notes from a Finance Act 2009 course by Mercia state the following "Where a company writes off a money debt that has arisen in the course of a trade, or a UK or overseas property business, the debit in the company's accounts is now brought into the ambit of the loan relationship rules. The result is that where the creditor company is unconnected with the debtor, the creditor will get relief for the impairment either as a trading expense or as part of a non-trading loan relationships deficit. HMRC would also regard relief as being available if the debit arises from the creditor having formally released the debt"
Do you have any thoughts on that?
Fab article
Steve another fantastic article. Thanks for that we will be updating our procedures accordingly.
Thank you.
Good article to show some stroppy clients
I have one question about the very last paragraph...
If the director/shareholders "expect" a dividend every year is the treatment the same as the "expectation" of a salary bonus?
In other words can my clients prepare their March year end accounts in June and back-date quarterly dividends which they have drawn but not done the paperwork for when the accounts are done as they have always done it that way and have an "exspectation" that this will happen each year?
Re Dividends
Re the dividend expectation. I can definitely see your point in relation to my article, however FRS 21 prohibits the backdating of dividends (SSAP 17 used to allow this, but FRS 21 explicitly prohibits such). Dividends should be declared before the balance sheet date, and the necessary paperwork drawn up to corroborate the dividend in order for the dividend to be included in that year's financial statements.
Apologies for my delay in replying to your thread as well.
Best wishes
Ref Loan Relationship Rules
Hi Peter,
My understanding of Section 42 FA 2009 is that if a creditor company is connected with a debtor company (as in, say, a group structure) and the creditor writes off the debt then no tax charge arises on the debtor - conversely no tax relief is given to the creditor.
Your Mercia notes refer to situations where the two companies are not connected and where creditor writes off a debtor balance, creditor will get tax relief.
As my article mentions (and as has been asked of me quite recently), bad debt write offs are generally queried by HMRC where they are significant. If they form an aspect enquiry you can lay odds the Inspector will want evidence that the debt is bad, such as correspondence from the Liquidator or other forms of documentary evidence to prove the debit in the profit and loss account.
Again, I apologise for the delay in replying to your query (long week!!)
Best wishes
Just wanted to thank you for your positive feedback on this article. It is much appreciated.
Best wishes
Loan Interest
What would be the position regarding Loan Interest and FRS12 ?
A loan would most probably meet all three criteria, namely :
- A legal obligation
- An outflow of economic benefit required to discharge the obligation, and
- The amount of the obligation can be measured reliably (in may cases to the penny)
Does FRS12 permit the total interest charge for the loan term to be relieved against profits in the first year of the loan?
What impact, if any, does UK GAAP have?
How would HMRC react ?
Thanks for any help

Aggressive animal cases may no longer have to go to court right away. If Animal Control is called to your house because of an incident with your pet and they decide your animal is dangerous, they will give you a list of rules to follow such as keeping your animal in a pen, obeying leash laws, and using a muzzle to prevent any accidents.
Citizen Sarah Adams said, "I think it's important to keep your animals on a leash, or in a fenced-in area, because you never know how a dog will react to a small child or another animal."
If an owner does not think his or her pet is dangerous, he or she will have the chance to voice concerns to a panel of citizens who are experienced with animals chosen by animal control officials.
This will prevent these cases from being taken to court, which citizens hope will save time.
Citizen Richard Smith, Jr. said, "If you have a review panel or a committee they can probably react to it at much quicker pace than what you would see in the courts."
Citizen Richard Smith Sr. said, "I think it's a good thing because the court systems are cluttered enough and this is a matter that could be handled without the court being involved."
But if the pet owner is not satisfied with the board's ruling then they are still able to take the matter to court.
For more information on the Animal Control Board or information on how you can get involved, call the Thomas County Animal Shelter at 229-228-0613.

This shrub is in my front garden it about 7ft tall topped, but i think it could go bigger, its very dence and bushy & has a red bark. It was here when I moved in, It's my favourite shrub/ hedge in the front, but unfortunately when I have the drive made wider, this is the first thing to go as it's next to the gate post.
I would really like to get cuttings from it, if anyone knows the best time to do this that would be great.
Looks like a very healthy bay tree to me
http://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/Profile.aspx?pid=251 although the new stems are redder than on my trees, I have seen them quite rosy like yours.
Thanks Dove, Very good info, RHS say's it can reach 23ft and I can belive it.! I like the idea of doing topiary on it. I have always wanted to have a go. But then again it is at the front .
I will have to get cutting's next year, I would love a row of these as a hedge.
There's a recent thread on taking cuttings from bay somewhere - I've taken successful heeled cuttings of semi-ripe wood - but I've found the most successful method of propagation is to dig up and plant on the little suckers that usually appear at the roots.
Zombie I have just had my Bay cut down as it was getting too big. I've got three lovely cuttings from it growing on strongly and I intend to grow one in a pot for the front garden. They are really easy to get going if you take cuttings in the summer.

This Girl Is Different
Evie is different. Not just her upbringing-though that's certainly been unusual-but also her mindset. She's smart, independent, confident, opinionated, and ready to take on a new challenge: The Institution of School.
It doesn't take this homeschooled kid long to discover that high school is a whole new world, and not in the way she expected. It's also a social minefield, and Evie finds herself confronting new problems at every turn, failing to follow or even understand the rules, and proposing solutions that aren't welcome or accepted.
Not one to sit idly by, Evie sets out to make changes. Big changes. The movement she starts takes off, but before she realizes what's happening, her plan spirals out of control, forcing her to come to terms with a world she is only just beginning to comprehend.
JJ Johnson's powerful debut novel will enthrall readers as it challenges assumptions about friendship, rules, boundaries, and power.
Author & Illustrator
J.J. Johnson graduated from Binghamton University and worked an internship coordinator for programs such as The Learning Web and Youth Advocacy. She earned a Master of Education from Harvard University, with a concentration in Adolescent Risk and Prevention. Johnson lives in North Carolina.

"...Readers will never look at high school - or life - the same." ―Kirkus
"...smart first novel...Johnson reveals a broad spectrum of perspectives through her characters' differing sentiments, motivations, and opinions..." ―Publishers Weekly
"...Johnson's fun, activist-minded debut has a close cousin in Jamila Stevenson's The Latte Rebellion (2010). Evie is a strong yet vulnerable heroine whose intellectual bent and sense of self will remind readers that, as historian Laurel Thatcher Urlich said, 'Well-behaved women rarely make history.'" ―Booklist
"...At once you'll want to be Evie's champion, and readers may even absorb some literary tidbits worth hanging on to along the way. JJ Johnson is an author whose writing is both fresh and worth taking notice of..." ―Baker and Taylor, the CATS meow newsletter
"...Both confident and temperate, [JJ Johnson's] writing never moves too far into any one extreme and manages simplicity without tediousness...refreshing..." ―Florida Times-Union
"...the objections Evie raises and the relationship hits she takes because of them will resonate with the target audience; these are the age-old problems with schools and other institutions in a democratic society, and this exploration of the means of redress, while pat and purposive, will surely inspire discussion." ―Children's Book Council
"...Books about high school tend either to be about peer politics and romance or about the injustice of oppressive adult systems. This book combines both plot types, intelligently and humorously..." ―Parents' Choice
"...one of the greatest teen novels I've read..." ―A Writer's Thoughts blog
"...This is a great resource for home-schooled and non-home-schooled kids alike, raising awareness about the issues of acceptance, alternatives and opportunities." ―JUNO magazine

The Bethel City Council will take another look at zoning Kasayuli and Larson subdivisions at its meeting Tuesday. The subsdivisons are slated to be zoned under a category called residential planned unit development. It allows for more flexibility and the city can match the zoning to what's in in the covenants. Rachael Pitts is the planning director for the City of Bethel.
"This is what I call zoning-lite. There's not a lot of requirements, but there is enough to be able to issue site plan permits in this area," said Pitts.
The proposal requires minimum setbacks, and 10,000 square feet lot size minimums. It would also limit the number of structures per lot and limit homes to two stories. All of the lots in Larson are simply labeled residential lots. With zoning, the city would have the basis to accept or reject site plan permits based on the few requirements of the zoning. As for current homeowners, they shouldn't be affected in their current uses of the land.
"So if you have an existing development and let's say you have a non-conforming lot. For instance you don't have a 15-foot front setback, you would be a non-conforming lot, but we would understand that would have been in existence before zoning came into effect," said Pitts.
Kasayuli is also residential planned unit development, but the map does include several commercial lots and open space. These reflect what was set aside in the convents from the developer and landowner years ago. Pitts emphasizes that zoning is not permanent. Future changes come as residents go through a process through the planning commission and city council.
"I think people may be a little uncomfortable knowing their property is being zoned especially if its never been zoned before. but I have spoken with people who live in Larson and Kasayuli subdivisions. And they think this is a really good idea. They not threatened by it and they don't anticipate problems through this process," said Pitts.
In the long term, Pitts notes that zoning is a way to keep the community's development orderly.
"We have lots of lots of undeveloped land in Bethel. If you think about where you want certain land uses to happen and where you want to minimize conflicts, that is something zoning can really address through long range planning. Zoning can be simple, it can be complicated, but in the long run it is on the of the best tools to guide development in a city as it grows," said Pitts.
Links to maps of the proposed zoning overlays for Kasayuli and Larson are available on the city's website.

A veteran NASA comet-chasing probe has stopped communicating with mission managers and is apparently spinning out of control.
The robotic spacecraft, that was sent to Comet Tempel 1 to carry out a historic bombing run with a washing machine-sized 370 kilogram (820 lb) impactor on July 4, 2005, was originally called Deep Impact, but had its mission extended to continue solar system exploration after its cometary encounter and renamed Extrasolar Planet Observation and Deep Impact Extended Investigation, or EPOXI. Scientists of the University of Maryland manages the EPOXI mission.
VIDEO: Huge Asteroid Nearly Hits Earth
After the 2005 comet encounter, EPOXI completed an Earth flyby and was sent to travel past another icy body, Comet Hartley 2, in 2010, recovering high resolution images of the comet's nucleus. The mission was then tasked with another, more distant, observation of Comet Garradd in 2012. Most recently, the spacecraft was commanded to track the incoming Comet ISON, recovering the first images in January. In 2008, a component of the EPOXI mission (called the Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization, or EPOCh) was also used to characterize observations of previously discovered extrasolar planets orbiting other stars.
But it seems that the EPOXI mission may have come to an end.
In a mission update on Sept. 3, EPOXI lead scientist Michael A'Hearn said, "We have not received any of our expected observations of comet ISON due to a spacecraft problem. Communication with the spacecraft was lost some time between August 11 and August 14 (we only talk to the spacecraft about once per week). The last communication was on August 8. After considerable effort, the team on August 30 determined the cause of the problem. The team is now trying to determine how best to try to recover communication."
PHOTOS: Close Encounters with Comets
According to a Nature News blog report on Sept. 5, A'Hearn added that his team were unable to upload commands to EPOXI to switch it into a safe mode. The probe is now thought to be spinning out of control, severely impacting its ability to generate energy through its solar array. Although engineers have identified the problem as being a computer glitch and are working to revive the mission, it is thought the probe only has a matter of days until its batteries are drained. Once that happens, the spacecraft will be unrecoverable.
"How long we have depends on the state the spacecraft is in, and we don't yet know that," A'Hearn told SPACE.com on Monday (Sept. 9). "Could be that it is too late already — could be we have another month or more."

Perkins' Blues)," "Dark Horses," and "Afterlife"), performed sold-out world tours (visiting five continents in the past year alone), raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid homeless kids in their community through their own Bro-Am Foundation, and earned themselves a global fan base devoted to Switchfoot's emotionally intelligent and uplifting brand of alternative rock. www.switchfoot.com

Your blog has many very useful tips for freelancers or any person wanting to earn a little extra income from home. So many can actually be a little confusing, as many people want to find the right opportunity as soon as possible – the one that suits them best – but it's nice that so many are highlighted in one spot here. I do agree that people shouldn't give up when trying to earn an income from the Internet in one way or another – there IS work out there for all of us, even for those who don't write too well, who can perhaps first spend a little time on improving their writing skills. Writing is hard work. Good writing is even harder. If getting jobs when you don't write too well pleases you, at least not be upset that you don't get paid as much as those who write better, or don't get upset that sometimes better writers are asked to rewrite your work. Wouldn't you prefer to be the person who gets asked to rewrite other people's work and get paid more? It is possible, if you improve your writing skills first. There are many free tips on the Internet that you can use to improve your writing skills. Good luck everyone! 🙂
Get Paid to Write Articles and Post to Blogs for Money at Bloggerjobs.biz
Making money on the Internet with no special knowledge is not just hard, it's challenging. When I say "special knowledge" – it could be various stuff – programming skills, Internet marketing guides or courses you have passed or taken. Because I think it's easier to find a freelance project for a programmer or a web designer, rather then for a simple office worker, who is looking for extra income on the Internet in spare time.
But anyways, Internet gives us a fair amount of earning opportunities, I would have never thought that making money with media files would become so popular with the launch of Uploading.com (this method was pretty popular in Europe, because even Radipshare users were making money by redeeming on-site credits into premium accounts, and I guess they were reselling those).
But I think that any Internet commence newbie should try out all possible methods of making money over the Internet, because the more guides, tutorials you read and more earning techniques you can try out, the better for you. Because you have the chance to create your own "work from home" blog and make money by blogging.
But if you don't really know how to set up even a free blog to earn money from it, you can start earning online by doing simple freelance jobs. Getting paid to write articles is a great possibility for those you can reproduce the text or even rewrite stuff that has been already written.
I don't work with various advertisers and don't offer you "paid ebooks or make money techniques" that is why my blog is called "Free ways to make money online and work from home" and I will just supply you the links to websites, where you can possibly earn money (using different business techniques, but today we are talking about getting paid to write).
After reviewing my older post I have found some information about Bloggerjobs.biz, which is a pretty nice website to start with.
Bloggerjobs.biz is a marketplace for bloggers. Only here you can browse available blogging tasks and find advertisers for your blog or website. Look through the marketplace, find advertisers, pick the right price for your web blog space and monetize it!
Bloggerjobs.biz gives you an awesome opportunity to talk to advertisers and set your own price per blog post and link on your blog! Recent blog jobs include all possible topics (so every blog could be monetized with Blogger Jobs).
There are many websites I will review in my future posts and most of them pay writers to post to various sponsored blogs. I have written a guide on how paid to write job boards work, so you can see the whole process. But the idea of earning money being a beginner – not to give up and try any possible opportunity, even if you are not really good at blogging or writing (you still have a chance of being accepted).
All in all, you can visit this website and see what it is all about if you are interested in making money by writing content. You can also refer to my guide to making free cash by posting on forums, which will give you some sure working ideas on where to start at.

Edwards guarantees victory, or at least a non-loss
Speaking to reporters today, WR Braylon Edwards said of Sunday's matchup with Cincinnati, 'we won't lose this game. We want it too bad. You can just talk to the guys and get a feel. You can listen to [coach Rex Ryan's] conviction when he talks to us.
'Guys are serious about winning this game,' Edwards added. 'Guys aren't talking about New Year's Eve. Guys aren't talking about family. All guys are talking about is the playoffs ... beating Cincinnati. I'm convinced this team is 100 percent in. I don't think we can lose this game from the mind-set we have right now, the attitude we have. I just don't see it.'
But he didn't say they wouldn't tie, right?

John Krasinski Dishes on Writing with Matt Damon
December 05, 2012
John Krasinski is taking his first stab at Hollywood screenwriting with the help of his high-profile bud, Matt Damon.
Video: Matt Damon's Dramatic 'Promised Land' Trailer
The twosome collaborated on Promised Land, their new drama about the American heartland, which premiered last night in New York City. Speaking at the star-studded event, Matt and John let us in on what inspired them to put their heads together for this particular project.
"I met Matt through Emily [Blunt, his wife] who did Adjustment Bureau with Matt and then after a while we became friends pretty quickly," John remembers. "We were talking about what we want to do and what we were looking forward to, and he said, 'I'm really looking forward to directing. Do you have anything you're working on?'... And I said, 'Yeah I have this thing.' And it turned out to be this movie, so this is crazy."
"The idea of writing something with John was really exciting," adds Matt. "Originally I was going to direct it ...and then for personal reasons I ended up not directing it and then we got Gus [Van Sant]."
Video: Globes Flashback '98: Affleck's In Shock
The film reunites Matt with the Good Will Hunting director for the third time. Along with buddy Ben Affleck, Matt won an Academy Award in 1998 for the screenplay.
Promised Land, out January 4, also stars Frances McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt and Hal Holbrook.

An early exit
- Details
- Published on Monday, 23 June 2003 20:39
- Written by Pete Borello - Town Crier Staff Writer
Although she participated in the high jump, Allie Miller's first national competition seemed more like the hurdles.
There were several obstacles the Los Altos resident faced at last weekend's USA Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Stanford University. Beyond the stiff competition, Miller had to overcome an early start time and a daunting opening height.
The combination proved too much for Miller, who failed to clear the opening height of 5 feet, 7 3/4 inches.
She wasn't alone, however, as only four of the 10 jumpers advanced to the next round.
"It was very disappointing for a lot of us," said Miller, entering her senior year at Los Altos High.
The opening height caught both Miller and Los Altos coach Julia Widstrand off guard; both expected the bar to start at 5-5.
"To open at that height (5-7 3/4), it's hard to do," said Miller, who tied the school record this season by jumping 5-9 3/4. "I'm used to opening at 5 or 5-2."
Miller also isn't used to jumping at 8:10 a.m., which is when her event began last Saturday. The early start seemed to affect her and the rest of field, none of whom jumped their best.
"The whole thing seemed a little lethargic," said Miller, who was at the track by 6:30 a.m. "No one was really hyped up."
Widstrand agreed.
"It's just too early in the morning and they didn't have ample time to wake up," the coach said. "The energy wasn't there."
Of her three tries, Miller's best attempt came on her second jump. "I just barely nicked the bar with my calf," she said.
Chaunte Howard of Georgia Tech went on to win the under-19 competition, going 5-11 1/4.
Miller, who placed first at the Central Coast Section finals and third at state, plans to participate in more meets this summer.

why prepaid plans only for thirty days and also u dont have any unlimited plans for usb users?

reliance has rubbish plns there is no unlimited plans instead we must use landline connected intrnet services rather than using wireless data cards
Finally, can someone tell me that is there any unlimited plan in Reliance netconnect data card??

i want more details for unlimited packeg i have already relance netconnect how 2 take a new connection tell me sir am urgent
what is unlimited plane price reliance net connections tel me
this reliance bradbank service is borring plan
this price is very heavy
I used tata broadband for almost 2 yrs & its pathetic then finally Airtel started its service in my area & I switched over to it..Its a bit expensive but the plans & services are awesome….mind blowing speed..I download a movie of 8 gb in 2 to 3 days…
what about "Reliance 1xCDMA Netconnect Unlimited", i think this is unlimited plan. although it gives only speed of 144 kbps..
hey dudesssss can i know that reliance sucks but i dont have other options i even tried tata indicom it too sucks
can i know the price of the data card only without the one month free subscription.can charge it later
What a rip off… Bloody expensive
India should open up this sector ASAP. tata's Broadband is a real sucker…you can get locked out anytime and you have to go all the way to some outsourced hole in hell set up to get it unlocked and pay for it….
All these fellas are sodomizing India and we chaps should really finger all of these fellas back to hell..
Worst plans i have seen so far..no unlimited plan
no postpaid plans for unlimited usage
Reliance is sucking the pockets of their customers. One of my friend purchased it 3 months ago. In binging days the speed was awesome but now it really sucks as its not going above 30-35KBps. Its takes hours to download some 100MB of data. At such speed still it called as 'HIGH SPEED WIRELESS BROADBAND'.
Another issue is of excessive billing from Reliance, any how they will show an excessive usage in your bill and charge you thousands. We feel really helpless as we cant prove the usage was within limit thats below 10GB.
At such low speed i was able to download only few GB of data in a month but they shown me 19GB usage.
In fact if i put my computer on continuous downloading for a month (31×24 hrs) i bet it could download 8GB data thats within the limit (as speed really sucks).
When i checked my DU Meter readings after a month (of last month) it shown 22 Days 19 Hours connection time. That means my laptop was connected for that much period to internet and downloaded 3.67GB of data within a month.
But according to Reliance i downloaded 21.93GB of data
and i paid Rs.17,000 as a bill after that i disconnected it.
I had an Unlimited plan but it really sucked me so badly.
here ,plan is good but no unlimted plan
very good i use very cool thank
boss its very costly.i want unlimited plan in somthin 500 to 700 rupee monthly…
when it will be launched all over India??????????
In my city it dosn't work. i din't get speed up to 3.1 mbps.
oh! What a bad idea.there is nothing new to add a feature.No Unlimited plan u have in your pandora box.We have a bright opportunity to opt BSNL EVDO data card which is common in ours budget. 2.4 mbps speed and unlimited plan just for 600 rs.Be competitive othere wise……..what!
Is reliance net connect broad band + is available in Agra and Etawah
reliance netconnect speed is the best
wat faltu plans are these,no unlimited package,no free usage and they are taking Rs 2/mb
There's no Unlimited plan,nd the offers r damn…
Why prepaid plans are of ONLY ONE MONTH DURATION?
I want to know the following :
a) data card price
b) post paid plan upto Rs.700.00 per month
Hello friend

or not?
if it is right then give me information about it clearly
Wow, this is so rubbish isnt it? The costs are expensive as **** and not even a single free broadband plan. Reliance, you are goin down day ba day. I believe Tata indicoms plug n surf is better than this. Why are these modems so expensive in India? Here in UK we get'em for like 10 quids which is like 700 or 800 Rupees. And there is a unlimited plan for like 15 quid which is about 1200 Rs. Damit, India is gettin more expensive even as compared to UK. Tata Indicom's Broadband suckz balls though. had some terrible experiences wid em. Took them over a month just to let me know finally that they cannot connect internet in my area.And I was like What the FUCK? Then when I tried to call that guy no one ever replied and I was left wid no clue. GODDAMIT, TATA also suckz some times init?
850 is the unlimited plane in reliance but not noy in broband +…
Expensive as HELL
and no True unlimited plans.
Reliance is bogus!

The Cruelest Journey
As the main boom swept across the deck, Captain James Riley heard a roaring sound that stopped him cold. Thinking it was a squall approaching unseen in the dark, he shouted, "All hands on deck!" and ordered his second mate, Aaron Savage, to brace up the yards. As the men hauled the lines, the square sails spilled the wind, checking the brig's speed. Riley was about to order the sails lowered when he saw foam billowing on the lee side of the brig. He had been wrong. The roar was not a squall. It was something even worse: the sound of breakers.
The Commerce, a 220-ton brig out of Middletown, Connecticut, had recently unloaded her cargo of flour and tobacco in Gibraltar. Now she was skirting the treacherous northwest coast of Africa to the Cape Verde Islands, where she was to take on a load of salt to sell at home. Sailing into fog on the night of August 28, 1815, Riley had assumed his ship was passing by the Canary Islands, some 60 miles (97 kilometers) off the coast. But he had a gnawing feeling that something wasn't right. Now, the sound of the Atlantic rollers pounding the shore to his lee told him he'd made a disastrous error in navigation.
Riley kept his head, barking out new commands. The crew cleared away the 1,400-pound (634-kilogram) iron-and-wood anchors on either bow. Before he could order them to be dropped, however, a ghastly jolt hurled the sailors to the deck. Every man knew instantly that his worst nightmarethe violent end that had stalked him all of his working life, waiting for his vigilance to slacken or his luck to sourhad finally come to pass; only instead of going to the bottom, the bottom had come to them. The surf rammed the Commerce onto the rocks and swept across her decks. Each deluge sent the men sprawling or scurrying for a handhold to keep from being washed overboard.
The sweet new brig that Riley's uncle had entrusted to him was doomed. Now Riley, a father of five, could only hope to save himself and his men. Among his crew of 11, second mate Aaron Savage, able seaman Archie Robbins, both in their early 20s, and the cabin boy Horace Savage, 15, all of old Puritan stock, were practically like sons to Riley. Horace's father, a sailor in the West Indies trade like most Lower Connecticut Valley watermen, had been Riley's best friend, until he himself was lost at sea.
Although Riley still had not seen land and had no idea how close they were, he prepared to abandon ship. He ordered the crew to bring provisions up from the hold and to make the longboat ready for launching. At around midnight, as the brig settled and the waves broke with increasing strength over the deck, Riley studied the horizon around them in the faint light of a quarter moon. At last, he made out the coast.
For centuries Cape Bojador has been known as one of the navigable world's most treacherous places. The British Royal Navy's Africa Pilot, warns that the charting of this coast is "reported to be inaccurate" to this day. The cape lies at the base of a narrow strait, where the Canary Islands form a funnel that squeezes the south-flowing current hard against the Moroccan coast in a frenzy of wind, whitecaps, and fatal shoals. There the Sahara abuts the sea in a mutable front of dun-colored cliffs and shifting walls of sand. The cape's rocky beaches collect ships the way a spider's web traps flies.
To an American sailor of 1815, the vast desert region beyond those bluffs was as alien and unexplored as Antarctica. Mariners knew that shipwrecked Christian sailors who refused to disarm on this coast were treated brutally by the Arabs and often slaughtered to the man, and some believed that the inhabitants were cannibals. The prospect of wrecking on this hostile shore had left strong men utterly undone. In 1784, when the French ship Les Deux Amies grounded near Cape Blanco, its captain became so distraught that he tried to blow up the ship's powder magazine. When stopped, he put two bullets in his throat.
Riley gave vent to no such fears. But the wreck of the Commerce would be the beginning of an ordeal that he would barely survive, and many of his crew would not. Ahead of them lay almost unimaginable trials: hunger and thirst, brutal captivity at the hands of desert nomads, and, for the lucky ones, an epic 800-mile (1,287-kilometer) trek across the Sahara to freedom.
The epic has only just begun. To find out what becomes of the crew of the Commerce read the February 2004 issue of Adventure.

Respond to Review of SpeakEZ Lounge
by veggiesim
Review: This restaurant is in the same location as the Cambridge House, now with new owners. Love the available parking and great food. I was told that they will be updating their vegan menu soon (as of 9-2-12), and adding more choices. I highly recommend the chickpea mash (if you are sharing, lot's of garlic) and the mushroom menage. I don't care for mushrooms and I love this. There is a vegetarian version with butter and cheese, so be sure and ask for the vegan version if you are vegan. We usually go in the afternoon's for a few drinks and appetizers, so I'm not sure how busy the nights are. Cocktails seem small and pricey but beer selection is good. Friendly staff willing to chat and answer questions about the food and drinks. Reasonable prices, 8-12 dollars.

Thank you in advance, I've got a rooted Nexus 5 running stock Android 4.4.3 and Franco kernel.
I hate every vibration. Some apps use the vibration as haptic feedback or they give me notification with vibration even if it's disabled from settings. Is there a simple way to disable EVERY vibration? For example an app (obviously with root permissions) or an Xposed Module. An 'extreme' solution would be to operate at kernel level or to physically disconnect the vibration motor!
Thank you in advance, I've got a rooted Nexus 5 running stock Android 4.4.3 and Franco kernel.
I've always kept vibration disabled in the Android settings, but some apps keep sending me notification with vibration and these apps don't let me customize their notification type (sound and vibrate). Other apps use vibration as their own haptic feedback. All these vibrations don't depend by Android system (and so by Android settings).
For example, Hangouts vibrates, but it has an option to deactivate that behaviour. Clash of Clans keeps vibrating on notifications. A lot of launchers vibrate when moving some elements. I just don't want that feature at all!

NEW YORK (AP) -- J.C. Penney Co. says it has laid off 600 associates, or 13 percent of the staff at its headquarters in Plano, Texas, as the department store chain looks to streamline its operations amid a major reinvention of the business.
The department store chain also will eliminate 300 additional associates at the Customer Call Center when it closes the center July 1.
The moves come as its new CEO, former Apple Inc. executive Ron Johnson, is transforming every aspect of its business, from pricing to the brands it carries.
The company had hinted that cuts would come when it told investors in January that it planned to reduce layers of management at its headquarters. Before the layoffs, the company had 4,400 employees at its headquarters.

After preparation and hiring of a new coach, the Taifa Stars have begun on their quest to qualify for the African Nations Cup next year and world cup in 2014.
Although undoubtedly the task is a daunting one, wananchi should draw encouragement from the example of Botswana who qualified for the Nations Cup this year, for the first time, against all the odds.
Having said this though, qualifying for such important championships as these will not be achieved through last-gasp preparations or mere talk alone.
Indeed, the Tanzanian Football Federation (TFF) and other football stakeholders need to give serious thought to how they can best help Taifa Stars to succeed in this weighty endeavour for our football.
It would be advantageous for our chances of success if the TFF lined up friendly matches against quality opposition, which would expose our strength and more importantly perhaps, our weaknesses.
TFF should also seriously consider meeting with clubs in the mainland premier league so that they can work out an agreement for the teams to release their players for regular training camps of the national team during the football season.
Granted, although the clubs might initially feel reluctant to do so, the TFF and the rest of the football fraternity should respectfully try to stress to them the importance of this issue to the nation.
It would be a monumental achievement if the country managed to qualify for the 2013 Nations Cup and world cup in 2014, as last time we featured at any major championship was way back in 1980 at the African Nations Cup.
However, while TFF will have their eyes firmly fixed on the achievement of these objectives, the local governing body should also not forget just how crucial the development of youth football is, to our future chances of football glory.
Towards this end, the setting up of more football academies around the country should be a top priority of the TFF.
Returning to our original theme though, there is no question that all Tanzanians will be fervently hoping that Taifa Stars can achieve what seems to the country like the most insurmountable of challenges.
Indeed, courage is required as this is no time for the faint-hearted.

The Willard Marbelle is a vehicle available in Grand Theft Auto IV.
It is a four-door, rear wheel drive sedan found throughout Liberty City, but most commonly in Broker. It is driven by various characters in cutscenes, most notably Vlad Glebov, who owns a blue Marbelle, and Ray Bulgarin, who drives a black one in GTA IV.
DesignThe Marbelle's styling is blend of 1970s/1980s (North American) Ford Granadas and Lincolns. The car's headlights and turn signals somewhat resemble a 1977–1979 Lincoln Versailles, but the taillights are much closer to those of a 1981-1989 Lincoln Town Car.
The sides, front bumper, windows and roof pillars resemble those of the 1975-1980 Ford Granadas (these are also very similar to the 1977/1978 Lincoln Versailles); there are also vents surrounding the headlights much like those from the 1975-1977 Granadas.
The Marbelle's performance is above average on comparison to other vehicles in its class. It has a 4.0-litre normally aspirated V6 driving the rear wheels, which is smooth, quiet yet rather powerful. Its performance is comparable to the Emperor, though its marginally smaller size and better suspension results in superior handling and a little less body roll. The Marbelle has slightly higher ground clearance than most cars in its class, and as a result copes well with hills, bumps and curbs. However, turning on a steep curb at high speeds can flip the car. Performance-wise this is pretty good, with a 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds and a top speed of 165mph.
The car may be sold at Stevie's S&M Auto Sales for a maximum of $1,500 (in perfect condition) after completion of Stevie's Car Thefts in GTA IV.
- The Marbelle's name may be a reference to the origins of the Ford Granada name. Both the Marbelle and Granada are named after Spanish cities, Granada and Marbella, respectively.
- If the car is repainted black at a spray shop, the car can only be repainted again in a loop of white, blue and black.
- The two default radio stations in the Marbelle are JNR - Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 and Fusion FM.
- The Marbelle has a unique horn.
- The Marbelle features a Door Ajar Chime which can be heard more easily in quiet areas.
- A Marbelle is parked in the underground parking garage in Lancaster, Algonquin northwest of the East Borough Bridge (two blocks east of Middle Park), that was used in the TBOGT's mission "Going Deep", and Jeff's second random encounter.
- One can be found on Wenrohronon Ave. in Broker with an Esperanto, parked on the side of the road near a small construction site before the road ends. It also can be found there in multiplayer modes.
- Often found being driven around Bohan, Dukes, and Broker.
Notable owners
- Vladimir Glebov owns a blue Marbelle.
- Ray Bulgarin owns a black Marbelle as seen in Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.

May 4, 2016
The first month of this new year has just set a new record. This time it's the amount of snow that blankets the Northern Hemisphere.
The Rutgers University Global Snow Lab says January 2008 just beat out January 1984 for the amount of snow cover compared to average. Their records go all the way back to 1966. This comes on the heels of record snows in the past few weeks over Southern China and even some white stuff in Saudi Arabia and Iraq this past month.

Lane Johnson's four-game suspension for performance enhancing drugs was an unexpected blow for the Eagles' offensive line.
Count center Jason Kelce among those surprised and disappointed by it.
"Obviously it's not something we're happy about," Kelce said on the 94-WIP Morning Show on Tuesday. "Lane is a guy that really developed well last year, he was looking great in the offseason, so I was really excited to see what he could do. He'll still be out there this season but through the first four games I was excited to see how much better he was this year than last year.
"He made a terrible… he made a mistake. He made a poor decision. This is something that I don't think is that big of a deal in terms of what he was doing. But obviously you're cheating your season four games."
The 26-year-old center also said that he and his fellow offensive linemates were told about Johnson's suspension from the right tackle himself before the news was reported.
"I was extremely surprised and I found out a little bit before I think everybody else did," Kelce said. "He kind of came and told some of the guys along the offensive line what he was facing before the media really even found out."
Kelce and the Eagles on Friday open their second training camp under head coach Chip Kelly, who needed only one season to make an impression on Kelce.
"[Chip] is one of the smartest guys I have ever been around," Kelce said. "He communicates with his players so at all times you know what's being asked of you. One of the things that a lot of coaches and a lot of organizations struggle with is that everything is not crystal clear. The direction of what you're trying to do, not just as a player, but as a team in general over the course of the season a lot of the times coaches aren't very clear on what that demand is.
"With Chip, every single day there's a mission set in place, there's a culture set in place he wants us to abide by. You understand what's set in place, the precedent that's set in place, and everybody's being asked the same thing. And that's why you do it because the guys next to you are willing to do the exact same thing for you."

Laura Vandervoort Talks About Voicing Mary Jane in Spider-Man: Edge of Time (TRAILER)
Laura Vandervoort of "Smallville" fame is making her video game debut in Spider-Man: Edge of Time. She's also playing an iconic character for Marvel fans: Mary Jane Watson. That's kind of a big deal, and as you might expect, Activision and Beenox are making a bit of a big deal out of it by releasing a behind-the-scenes trailer in which Vandervoort discusses her experience.
You can check out the trailer below, which shows off a little of Mary Jane's role for the dual-Spidey title that hits later this year. I don't know about you, but I get the distinct impression that there might be a little bit of love triangle forming between Spider-Man, Mary Jane and Spider-Man 2099. If you throw in Black Cat (voiced by Kara "Starbuck" Thrace of "Battlestar Galactica," Katee Sackhoff), then it's sort of a love entanglement. Could be interesting.

[Vita Review] Unit 13
Posted by Jason in Featured, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, Unit 13 on March 25th, 2012
Zipper Interactive is showing the Vita some Socom love with Unit 13, and it gives us a glimpse of what 3rd person shooters will be like on the handheld. Rather than having a deep story, Zipper has decided to give the player a set of 36 missions and 10 High-value targets, which can be done solo or online with a friend or random stranger. It is a great look at what "Could be" on the Vita. Sadly, it doesn't deliver on what it set out to achieve.
Unit 13 Explodes onto PlayStation Vita
Posted by Madagasca in PlayStation Vita, Press Release, Unit 13 on March 7th, 2012
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announces the release of Unit 13, a third-person military shooter created exclusively for PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) by Zipper Interactive, available via the PlayStation Store or from all good retailers on March 9th.
Players join the ranks of Unit 13, a counter-terrorism squad deployed with only one objective; complete the mission. Missions focus on contemporary 'ripped from the headlines' scenarios creating an experience that is loaded with authenticity.
Unit 13 takes advantage of all the input and connectivity features PS Vita has to offer. Dual analogue sticks offer bona fide shooter controls on the go, and SIXAXIS combines with front and rear touch to offer an intuitive, immersive experience.
The 3G connectivity of PS Vita are at the core of Unit 13 and bring all-new challenges and ways of playing to the genre.

Socom Series Creator Jumps In The Vita Wagon With "Unit 13"
Posted by PAUL FIERCE in PlayStation Vita, PS3, QuickNews, SOCOM 4, Unit 13 on November 22nd, 2011
It's no big secret Socom 4 was a fail. Just a quick glance of the official message boards and you will see a whole lot of negativity. Also some of you, who follow industry news may remember the recent downsizing of the company after the release of Socom 4. Zipper Interactive announced a new title today for the PlayStation Vita titled "Unit 13".

Know Any Psychopaths?
I read fiction, rarely nonfiction. At first glance, I assumed Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test was simply a clinical view of psychological aberrations. The inclusion of a checklist to identify psychopaths, and his assertion in the press that 1 in 100 people you run into are, in fact, psychopaths was interesting to me. You guessed it, I had someone in mind to check against the list. This book turned out to be much more than that. The fiction I love best delves into characters, showing all sides and beautiful ambiguous shadings of dark and light, good and bad. This book was a great nonfiction fit, and reads like a great story.

delivery of those lines? However, what self-respecting assassin droid comes in bright red? Wouldn't it fit if there were some kind of camouflage so that the targets see nothing coming until that tinny laugh tells them it's too late? That's the idea behind Dogbut's mod, which strips off the red paint in favor of a green color better for blending in and picking off meatbags with ease and impunity. It also appears to be his first mod sent to Filefront, so hats off to him and welcome aboard! Again, please leave roses and onions.
