However, his Lordship did also find that "Woman E" breached her obligation of confidence to Mr Mosley:.. Read More

Anchor Fish & Chips: A new food truck, a party, and a dream realized
Northeast Minneapolis restaurant Anchor Fish & Chips is expecting quite a party when it launches its new food truck in its parking lot on May 19. Its debut will be part of the northeast Minneapolis 2012 Art-a-Whirl and will feature a few beer vendors as well as live music. Fish and chips, meat pasties, and a variety of other Irish goodies will be on the menu when Anchor joins the ranks of our eclectic mobile merchants. .
We recently talked about the young restaurant's new endeavor with co-owner and chef Luke Kyle.
The chips of Anchor Fish & Chips
When asked which city he'll base the truck out of, Minneapolis or St. Paul, Kyle explains that the current plan for the van is to primarily focus on festivals and events throughout the state. Kyle does say they'll probably try out some lunches in downtown Minneapolis, but it will probably only be a few days a week. The truck won't offer the full restaurant menu, naturally, but you can expect to see the Irish mainstays such as the fish, the chips, the pasties, and, of course, the mushy peas.

Kevin Phillips came off the bench to score his first goal for Crystal Palace and rescue a 2-2 draw against his old club Watford in a battle of Championship promotion chasers on Friday.
Phillips was making his second appearance for Palace after joining the south London team from Blackpool last month and he picked the perfect venue to get off the mark as he returned to Watford almost 16 years after leaving Vicarage Road.
The 39-year-old former England forward's contribution was crucial for Palace, who trailed 2-0 at half-time but recovered to snatch a point thanks to two goals in the space of four minutes after the break.
Watford are now level on points with second placed Leicester in the race for automatic promotion, while Palace are fifth, one point behind the Hornets.
Gianfranco Zola's Watford were looking to break into the top two for the first time this season and looked every inch a team in form as they tore into Palace from the first whistle.
Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni could do nothing to prevent Swiss midfielder Almen Abdi firing the Hornets ahead in the sixth minute with a fine finish.
Watford increased their lead in the 14th minute when Marco Cassetti's attempted volley towards goal flew straight into the turf and bounced up kindly for teenage Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah to nod into an empty net at the far post.
But Ian Holloway's Palace were given a lifeline in the 66th minute when Peter Ramage bundled the ball home after Damien Delaney's header was blocked on the line.
And four minutes later they were level through Phillips, who arrived at the far post to meet a low cross from Richards with a cool strike.

Linebackers lead way for 49ers into NFC title game
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — From the pick six that closed Candlestick to a pair of goal-line stands in Carolina, it seems like whenever San Francisco needs a big play from its defense one of the 49ers' decorated linebackers steps up.
With Pro Bowlers NaVorro Bowman, Patrick Willis and Ahmad Brooks playing alongside talented pass rusher Aldon Smith on coordinator Vic Fangio's defense, the Niners' version of the fearsome foursome has played a major part in their advancement to the NFC title game on Sunday night in Seattle.
Bowman, Willis, Brooks and Smith have combined for seven sacks, one forced fumble and an interception in road playoff wins in Green Bay and Carolina that set up the showdown with the Seahawks with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line.
"We just try to stay together and lead this defense," Bowman said. "We all can do special things that a lot of guys can't do in this league. Vic's just done a great job drawing up the right plays and what he wants us to do out there. We're blessed to have all four of us on the same page."
What makes this unit so effective is how well they work together. Smith and Brooks are elite pass rushers, able to chase down quarterbacks with their speed and overpower blockers with their strength.
Willis and Bowman are the do-everything inside backers, who plug holes against the run, blitz when needed and chase running backs and tight ends in coverage.
While Willis came into the year as the most decorated of the bunch as a five-time All-Pro and Smith the most feared with 33½ sacks his first two seasons, it is Bowman who has led the group this season when the Niners needed it most.
Smith missed five games to receive substance abuse treatment and Willis showed a few signs of slowing down, turning Bowman into the on-field leader of the group.
He was named first-team All-Pro for the third straight season and has been mentioned as a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year after recording a career-high five sacks, two interceptions, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. That earned him the ultimate praise from Willis.
"I said, 'Man, you're having the kind of year that linebackers want to have. I know you're most certainly having the kind of year that I would love to have,'" Willis said. "He's my brother. I'm always going to be his biggest fan. He's my teammate. I'm just glad to see him do well. When one of us does well, we all do well. That's how we think as a team."
The crowning moment of Bowman's year came in the regular-season home finale against Atlanta. With the 49ers in danger of losing the final scheduled game at Candlestick Park and having their playoff status put in doubt, Bowman delivered one of the most impressive plays of the season.
It started with him blitzing up the middle against Matt Ryan. But after getting the center to commit, Bowman retreated and was in perfect position when Tramaine Brock broke up a slant pass to Harry Douglas. Bowman grabbed the ball out of the air and ran 89 yards for the touchdown that sealed the 34-24 victory and clinched the playoffs for the Niners.
"He just comes up big all the time," defensive lineman Ray McDonald said. "It's paying off for him because he's a hard-working guy, he's always on top of his game."
Bowman was at it again in Sunday's 23-10 win over Carolina, fighting off two blockers before tackling Cam Newton at the 1 late in the second quarter. After a sack by Brooks and another goal-line stop by Bowman, the Panthers had to settle for a field goal.

or connect to the internet it crashes - joy!
I've surfed to try and find some answers and come up with ideas but
nothing which is exactly the same as my error and no suggestions as to
how to fix this. One thread has suggested CA Security is the problem
(KmxCF.sys file) and yes, I'm running CA Security Suite 2008. I have
used this to run a virus and trojen check and come up with zero
problems, I have also checked for updates and mine is totally up to

the CA site, they are useless at helping solve problems!)
Please, please can anyone help me - I'm now on the 8th BSOD today and
can't get to important work emails which I need to reply to. Help, help,
help please :confused:

Hi Gang,
Yesterday I joined the ranks of Tandem Riders with the arrival of our new Co-motion Speedster. Ever since I saw one at a Century some time back I have been lusting after one. I'm hoping this will shorten my wait, at the top of hills, etc., for my wife.
Anyway, I'm getting ready to put together my tool kit and I seemed to recall reading somewhere if one was in need of a chain breaker to stop a tandem- they always have one. That got me to thinking; do I need to carry one of these on my tandem?? With my standard DF road bike I've never had occasion to use one, nor have any of my friends. So, Do I need to carry one and if so what am I likely to need it for?
Thanks in advance, Bone

Clarithromycin exerts its antibacterial action by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible microorganisms resulting in inhibition of protein synthesis.
Clarithromycin is active in vitro against a variety of aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms as well as most Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) microorganisms.
Additionally, the 14-OH clarithromycin metabolite also has clinically significant antimicrobial activity. The 14-OH clarithromycin is twice as active against Haemophilus influenzae microorganisms as the parent compound. However, for Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) isolates the 14-OH metabolite is 4 to 7 times less active than clarithromycin. The clinical significance of this activity against Mycobacterium avium complex is unknown.
Clarithromycin has been shown to be active against most strains of the following microorganisms both in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section:Aerobic Gram-positive Microorganisms
Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus pneumoniae Streptococcus pyogenesAerobic Gram-negative Microorganisms
Haemophilus influenzae Haemophilus parainfluenzae Moraxella catarrhalisOther Microorganisms
Mycoplasma pneumoniae Chlamydia pneumoniae (TWAR)Mycobacteria
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) consisting of: Mycobacterium avium Mycobacterium intracellulare
Beta-lactamase production should have no effect on clarithromycin activity.
NOTE: Most strains of methicillin-resistant and oxacillin-resistant staphylococci are resistant to clarithromycin.
Omeprazole/clarithromycin dual therapy; ranitidine bismuth citrate/clarithromycin dual therapy; omeprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple therapy; and lansoprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple therapy have been shown to be active against most strains of Helicobacter pylori in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section.Helicobacter
Helicobacter pyloriPretreatment Resistance
Clarithromycin pretreatment resistance rates were 3.5% (4/113) in the omeprazole/clarithromycin dual therapy studies (M93-067, M93-100) and 9.3% (41/439) in the omeprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple therapy studies (126, 127, M96-446). Clarithromycin pretreatment resistance was 12.6% (44/348) in the ranitidine bismuth citrate/clarithromycin b.i.d. versus t.i.d. clinical study (H2BA3001). Clarithromycin pretreatment resistance rates were 9.5% (91/960) by E-test and 11.3% (12/106) by agar dilution in the lansoprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple therapy clinical trials (M93-125, M93-130, M93-131, M95-392, and M95-399).
Amoxicillin pretreatment susceptible isolates (less than 0.25 µg/mL) were found in 99.3% (436/439) of the patients in the omeprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin clinical studies (126, 127, M96-446). Amoxicillin pretreatment minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) greater than 0.25 µg/mL occurred in 0.7% (3/439) of the patients, all of whom were in the clarithromycin/amoxicillin study arm. Amoxicillin pretreatment susceptible isolates ( less than 0.25µg/mL) occurred in 97.8% (936/957) and 98.0% (98/100) of the patients in the lansoprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple-therapy clinical trials by E-test and agar dilution, respectively. Twenty-one of the 957 patients (2.2%) by E-test and 2 of 100 patients (2.0%) by agar dilution had amoxicillin pretreatment MICs of greater than 0.25 µg/mL. Two patients had an unconfirmed pretreatment amoxicillin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of greater than 256 µg/mL by E-test.
a Includes only patients with pretreatment clarithromycin susceptibility tests
b Susceptible (S) MIC less than 0.25 µg/mL, Intermediate (I) MIC 0.5-1.0 µg/mL, Resistant (R) MIC greater than 2 µg/mL
Patients not eradicated of H. pylori following omeprazole/clarithromycin, ranitidine bismuth citrate/clarithromycin, omeprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin, or lansoprazole/clarithromycin/ amoxicillin therapy would likely have clarithromycin resistant H. pylori isolates. Therefore, for patients who fail therapy, clarithromycin susceptibility testing should be done, if possible. Patients with clarithromycin resistant H. pylori should not be treated with any of the following: omeprazole/clarithromycin dual therapy; ranitidine bismuth citrate/clarithromycin dual therapy; omeprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple therapy; lansoprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple therapy; or other regimens which include clarithromycin as the sole antimicrobial agent.Amoxicillin Susceptibility Test Results and Clinical/Bacteriological Outcomes
In the omeprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple-therapy clinical trials, 84.9% (157/185) of the patients who had pretreatment amoxicillin susceptible MICs (less than 0.25 µg/mL) were eradicated of H. pylori and 15.1% (28/185) failed therapy. Of the 28 patients who failed triple therapy, 11 had no post-treatment susceptibility test results, and 17 had post-treatment H. pylori isolates with amoxicillin susceptible MICs. Eleven of the patients who failed triple therapy also had post-treatment H. pylori isolates with clarithromycin resistant MICs.
In the lansoprazole/clarithromycin/amoxicillin triple-therapy clinical trials, 82.6% (195/236) of the patients that had pretreatment amoxicillin susceptible MICs (less than 0.25 µg/mL) were eradicated of H. pylori. Of those with pretreatment amoxicillin MICs of greater than 0.25 µg/mL, three of six had the H. pylori eradicated. A total of 12.8% (22/172) of the patients failed the 10- and 14-day triple-therapy regimens. Post-treatment susceptibility results were not obtained on 11 of the patients who failed therapy. Nine of the 11 patients with amoxicillin post-treatment MICs that failed the triple-therapy regimen also had clarithromycin resistant H. pylori isolates.
The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. Clarithromycin exhibits in vitro activity against most strains of the following microorganisms; however, the safety and effectiveness of clarithromycin in treating clinical infections due to these microorganisms have not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.Aerobic Gram-positive Microorganisms
Streptococcus agalactiae Streptococci (Groups C, F, G)Viridans group streptococciAerobic Gram-negative Microorganisms

Goal in 85th minute that tied score at 2 leaves Seattle stunned and impressed.
The comeback was complete.
Despite conceding an early penalty-kick goal to Vancouver, Sounders FC fought back Saturday through late goals by Mauro Rosales and Osvaldo Alonso to take a lead in the 84th minute.
Enter Eric Hassli.
The Whitecaps FC designated player collected an untimely Seattle turnover — when Alonso couldn't control a pass from defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado — and produced a moment of pure magic in the 85th minute. First, the 6-foot-4 Hassli flicked the ball up to himself while drifting away from Kasey Keller's goal, and then he unleashed an audacious volley from the corner of the penalty box that sailed over Keller and ricocheted off the far post and in.

The candidate for MLS Goal of the Year was the deciding moment in a 2-2 tie between Seattle and Vancouver at Qwest Field, and the talk of both locker rooms.
"I could give him that shot probably another 99 times and I don't know if he's going to score it, but he did (Saturday)," Keller said to reporters. "Sometimes you've just got to shake somebody's hand and say, 'Hey, that's a hell of a goal.' "
"Magnificent," said Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid.
"What a goal," added Rosales. "Unbelievable."
Hassli had also scored earlier in the game, converting Vancouver's PK with a clever chip. So how did he remember the unforgettable play later on?
"I closed my eyes and shot; I had a lot of luck there," the 30-year-old Frenchman said, calling it likely the best goal in his career.
On the other end, many Sounders were left ruing the blown lead — particularly the preventable turnover that set up Hassli's chance.
"It should have never happened. That's the bottom line. Period," said Seattle midfielder Brad Evans of the goal. "Regardless of quality, it's something that never should have happened. Simple as that."
First goals for two
Goals by Rosales and Alonso were the first of the season for each midfielder.
"I am very happy because it was the first one and in Qwest Field," said Rosales, whose 81st-minute strike tied the score at 1-1. "… It was very good for the team to make a step to win the game."
Alonso scored three minutes later to give the Sounders the short-lived lead.
"I'm unhappy that it did not end up being the (winning) goal," he said through a translator.
• Schmid was visibly frustrated with referee Mark Geiger throughout the match, particularly after a denied penalty-kick appeal in the 44th minute. After the game, Schmid said Geiger was "afraid to talk to me."
"Twice, both at halftime and at the end of the game, he knew I wanted to talk to him and he just walked away," said the coach, "so obviously he must have felt bad."

At the top of the Senate's list: increasing the average size of public school classrooms by two students through the 2010-11 school year, at a savings of $322 million annually. Lawmakers faced a $3.4 billion budget gap for next year.
Governor Perdue has said she adamantly opposes such an idea, which would reverse several years of efforts to lower class sizes,
particularly in early grades. Her office says the Senate's plan could eliminate more than 6,000 teaching positions.
Senators say the larger classrooms would be temporary and that most of the reduction in teacher employment would come through attrition as teachers retire, move out of state or change careers.

Oklahoma football: Coach Bob Stoops confirms departure of Jackie Shipp, Bruce Kittle
NORMAN — Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops confirmed Wednesday assistant coaches Jackie Shipp and Bruce Kittle won't return to the program for the 2013 season.
"Bruce and Jackie both are great professionals who made a positive impact on Oklahoma Football," Stoops said in a statement. "I wish Jackie and Bruce the very best moving forward."
The departures of Shipp and Kittle were reported by The Oklahoman and other outlets Tuesday, but Stoops' announcement makes them official. Three OU football assistants have now moved on this week, including former offensive line coach James Patton, who joined Indiana's staff Monday.
According to Wednesday's statement, Stoops hasn't interviewed any potential candidates to fill the staff openings. West Virginia offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh has been widely reported as the front-runner to take the same position at Oklahoma.
"I anticipate speaking with several candidates that I have identified for our coaching staff, but I have yet to interview any of those individuals," Stoops said. "I will continue to evaluate all of our options."
Oklahoma's football staff has changed drastically just in the past two years; only four coaches — co-offensive coordinators Josh Heupel and Jay Norvell, running backs coach Cale Gundy and defensive ends coach Bobby Jack Wright — remain from Stoops' 2011 staff.
Shipp had coached the OU defensive line since 1999, Stoops' first season in Norman. He's also a former Sooners linebacker, playing from 1980-83 and recording 489 career tackles, the second-most in school history.
"It has been a privilege to coach the last 14 seasons at my alma mater, an honor that few coaches in this business are afforded," Shipp said in the release.
Kittle first arrived in 2010 as on-campus recruiting coordinator, and coached offensive tackles and tight ends the past two seasons. Patton led the entire offensive line his first five seasons at OU, but coached only interior linemen after Kittle's promotion.
"Our family wishes the Sooners the very best, and we'll always have a fond place in our heart for the many individuals who touched us during our stay in Norman," Kittle said.

The Ridgefield School District has submitted plans to expand its high school campus with two additional buildings, extra parking and improvements to the football stadium at Ridgefield High School, 2630 S. Hillhurst Road.
The project would accommodate a 100-student increase at the school, according to the school district.
Representatives from the school district are expected to discuss the project on Thursday with Ridgefield's Community Development Department staff.
Ridgefield voters in February passed a $47 million bond package, money earmarked for capital improvements at three campuses, including the Union Ridge Elementary School/View Ridge Middle School campus and the South Ridge Elementary School campus.
A host of local companies — including LSW Architects, Columbia West, HDJ Design Group, Olson Engineering and Harper Houf Peterson Righellis Inc. — are involved with the projects

Since I create a TCP socket,it is fine when sending small amount data.no fragment. all data came in one package. but when data becomes bigger and bigger. TCP package has been divided into pieces.. it`s really annoying. Is there any option to set on socket, and the socket will automatically put pieces into one package for me ?
It's a byte stream. All the bytes will arrive correctly and in the right order, but not necessarily when you want them. If you need to send anything more complex than one byte, you need another protocol on top of TCP. That's why there are all those other TCP/IP protocols like HTTP, SMTP etc.
No there is not. There are even situations where you might receive 1 byte.
Consider using higher level messaging libraries like ZMQ. It handles all the message packing and unpacking for you.
TCP provides you reliable bi-directional byte stream. It takes care of sequencing, transport-layer packetization, retransmission, and flow-control. Decades of research went into optimizing its performance. Pretty nifty. The small price you pay for all this convenience is that you have to write and read the stream in a loop, watching for a complete application protocol message you can process when receiving, and flushing yet unbuffered bytes when sending.
Welcome to socket programming!
I'll chime in here and say that there's pretty much nothing you can do to solve you issue without adding extra dependencies on libraries which handle application protocols for you. There are some lower level message packing libraries (google's protocol buffers, among others) which may help.
It's probably the most beneficial to get used to reading and writing TCP data in a loop. It's proven and very portable.. even if you pay a small price in actually writing the streaming codecs yourself.
Try it a few times. It's a useful experience which you can re-use, and it's really not as difficult and annoying once you get the hang of it (like anything else, really).
Furthermore, it's fairly easy to unit-test (rather than dealing with esoteric libraries and uncommon protocols with badly/sparsely documented options)..
You can optimize sockets reads to return larger chunks, on platforms that support it, by setting low watermark using

Born into a world where any dream can be a reality, Absoloot embraces an industry that has made and broke countless individuals before him. Absoloot and As I Am records are creating a movement all on their own. Great music is not created, but birthed through passion and personal experience. Unlike many of his predecessors, Absoloot has the versatility, flexibility, determination and most importantly the talent to not only succeed but dominate a genre that lacks the luster it once had. Absoloot uses intelligent lyrical content and live instruments to attract listeners and offers them a deeper message than the prescribed money and cars routine implemented by many rappers within the hip hop vein. Absoloot's catalogue gives listeners a refined brand of hip hop that is intelligent and complete with old and new school style. The powerfully relevant and current track "99%" is an emotional outpouring written and conceived by Absoloot in the heart of the Occupy Movement that's recently taken the United States by storm. Through his lyrics, Absoloot demonstrates his support and shows solidarity for the majority of people not in the 1 percent, who are cornered by lack, corruption and misuse of power by politicians and leaders misrepresenting the people and leaving the remaining 99 percent to struggle. The single features themes about the troubled economy and how the majority of people struggle to survive. Absoloot approaches every track, calm, cool and collected and this has made him a universal force to be reckoned with. His style has no boundaries and crosses all borders and is easily acceptable by any nationality, race, or age. Absoloot is all about change for the better one listener at a time.

and how soon can you book?
All info is appreciated!
Thanks! :yes:
I'm sure you can book it at 180 days :unsure:
You turn up at the time stated (or a bit before), your table is already allocated, it would seem on a first booked, better table position from our experience.
Then it's help yourself to the selection of mini desserts and drinks. They had ice cream as well last time. You then get to watch Wishes, you can move to the railings to watch. I do like the view from there :yes:
180 days!
I think I need to give Johnie another semi panic attack then!
You should be able to book now Mari.
As far as I know it's a buffet of sweets and drinks and it begins an hour before the start of Wishes.
I don't think you can make a reservation online you will have to call 407 939 3463 to make a reservation.
Johnie has done this before so she will be able to help you more.
Thank you! :)Quote:

You are actually seated in the Terrace as far as I know.
Lol no panic attacks for me today!!
I've done this a couple if times. You do sit on the terrace outside. It's covered. BUT they let people go up to the railing and stand which, to me, defeats the purpose of getting a table.
Right, have done this a few times, most recently december.
When they started it, few people did it and there seemed more choice in desserts. In december, there wasnt that much choice, the terrace was packed and as Johnie says, everyone rushes to the front to watch anyway.
The view IS nice and it's great if you can relax at your table and watch but no good when everyone runs in front of you.
The desserts? well.... to be honest we had trouble finding enough items that we liked to eat. Didnt even have coke products and there was always a queue to try and get tea/coffee.
Dunno, yes good view, but overpriced and not a very special experience IMHO :( Sorry.
I eat just the chocolate covered strawberries since those things. are $3-4 a piece.
It used to be my favorite free spot to watch Wishes

NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: NEW YORK UP CLOSE; Rock Alternatives: A Music Scene Migrates to Brooklyn
By DENNY LEE
Published: August 4, 2002
It's not quite the end of the city's rock world as we know it, but Manhattan's downtown music scene is shrinking again, even as Brooklyn's expands.
The latest downtown casualty is Brownies, that East Village temple of alternative rock wedged into a dive of a bar. It closes its doors this weekend with the band Hot Socky holding forth.
Brownies, on Avenue A near 10th Street, has played host to some 4,000 bands since opening in 1989. Its claim to indie-rock fame includes the New York debuts of Creed, Sugar Ray and Third Eye Blind. The club also helped nurture recent breakthrough bands from New York like the Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Mike Stuto, an owner of Brownies, cited personal and professional disenchantment for the closing. ''The music industry has disappointed me for the last 15 years, so maybe it's time I disappoint the music industry,'' he said. Brownies will reopen as a cocktail lounge.
Many other downtown clubs have closed in recent years, for reasons including skyrocketing rents and low profit margins. For local musicians, the closings mean fewer places to showcase their sound, just as the city is experiencing a rock renaissance not heard since the late 1970's.
''Wetlands, Tramps, the Cooler, Coney Island High, Nightingale's and No Moore,'' said Mark Robohm, a drummer for Tamar-Kali and the band Dr. Israel. ''This list alone was an entire circuit, and now it's gone.''
But in the last year, a musical beachhead has established itself in Williamsburg and other Brooklyn neighborhoods. New clubs like North Six, Club Luxx, Warsaw and South Paw are starting to supplant those in Lower Manhattan as rock hothouses.
''I find myself out in Brooklyn a lot more for scouting new bands,'' said Leigh Lust, senior director of artists and repertory at Elektra Entertainment Group. ''The music scene mirrors the rental scene. There's a big joke among A&R folks: now that we can afford to live in the city, the scene is moving to Brooklyn.''
Few musicians are complaining. What Manhattan offered in sweat-soaked stages and indiscriminate crowds, Brooklyn has replied with loft-size arenas, devoted fans and, notably, dressing-room showers. Moreover, musicians say, the young club owners are less jaded, more respectful of their craft and more generous with backstage beers.
''It's a more sincere music scene,'' said Jeffrey Steinhauser, 29, the principal owner of North Six, which opened in June 2001 in a former steel mill. ''We look for shows that don't lose money and that we feel good about. All we ask is that the band promotes the show to the best of their ability.''
With venerable clubs like CBGB, Bowery Ballroom, Mercury Lounge and the Knitting Factory still kicking, Lower Manhattan remains a center for indie music. But rather than mimic that scene, Brooklyn club owners say they are creating their own. Electroclash, a style inspired by early synthesizers, was first popularized in Williamsburg and is now spreading across the river.
''Developing bands are going straight to Brooklyn,'' said Eric Speck, a former booking agent at Brownies. ''Manhattan is still the nucleus, but Brooklyn has become the breeding ground.'' DENNY LEE

Some early thoughts on #VWGate
I have two reasons for taking a very close interest in the scandal over Volkswagen's rigging of its diesel engines to evade regulatory scrutiny. The first is that I have spent my entire career working in regulatory compliance and, while my experience has been confined to the broadcasting industry, I take a keen interest in compliance in other fields. There is so much you can learn about how organisations conduct their risk management and compliance management that you can then apply in other settings. And there is no better learning experience than catastrophic failure – particularly if it's someone else's. A great deal comes down to issues of human psychology and corporate culture and these things, in my experience, tend to matter more than any formal compliance mechanisms, systems or processes that might be in place – and that seems to be true whenever there is a major compliance failure.
My second reason for following this story closely is that I am the owner of two Volkswagen cars, one of which – a 2010 diesel engine Golf – now appears very likely to have the 'defeat device' that is the cause of all the furore programmed into it.
I wanted to put down some initial thoughts on the VW scandal, to see if my experience of regulation and compliance in an entirely different industry (and much much smaller organisations) can be applied with any value to this situation. I have no knowledge of how cars are designed and built and no knowledge of the organisational structure of Volkswagen (or any car manufacturer). I have no inside knowledge of any aspect of the current scandal, and can only go by what has been published either by parties directly involved or by the media and other commentators.
The story so far
I took some time today to read two key documents – they are, thus far, the only source documents available on this scandal. They are short and worth reading. This is the Notice of Violation from the US federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to Volkswagen, dated 18 September 2015. And this, in similar vein, is the letter to Volkswagen from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Both are addressed to David Geanocopoulos, who is identified as VW America's Executive Vice President for Public Affairs and General Counsel (i.e. their senior in-house lawyer and lobbyist) based in Herndon, northern Virginia; and Stuart Johnson, who is identified as VW America's General Manager in the Engineering and Environmental Office in Auburn Hills, Michigan where VW North America is headquartered. The EPA letter is copied to CARB; to Walter Benjamin Fisherow at the US Department of Justice – described by The Washington Post in 2009 as "a seasoned litigator and environmental warrior"; and Stuart Drake at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis representing VW – who, according to The Guardian, represented BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster. According to Kirkland's own website, Drake specialises in industries "subject to air pollution control" such as by the EPA and CARB, and he has represented General Motors and Toyota. Kirkland quotes one guide to business lawyers as describing Drake as "a fearless advocate for his clients". The CARB letter to the VW is copied to the federal EPA and the Michigan EPA.
Both letters are filled with highly technical language relating to car engine design as well as environmental protection legislation. They are light on the details of the agencies' investigations and their findings. We do, however, learn a few key facts.
The basic problem, as has been reported widely and in great detail, is that a large number of VW's diesel cars – about 500,000 of them in the US, manufactured between 2009 and 2015 and all built with the same diesel engine – included in their electronic systems computer code whose purpose was deliberately to determine when the car was being tested for nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and, only at times when the car was being tested, alter the performance of the engine so as to reduce drastically those emissions. This ensured that any regulatory vehicle test would give a wholly misleading finding as to level of the car's NOx emissions – giving a figure that, by the EPA's reckoning, was some 10-40 times lower than could actually be achieved in normal driving conditions.
The two letters sketch out a basic timeline. The possibility of a problem first came to light in May 2014 when West Virginia University's (WVU) Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Emissions (CAFEE) published a report commissioned by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). CAFEE and ICCT, apparently, would routinely conduct emissions tests on vehicles and their report in May 2014 revealed unusually and unexpectedly high NOx readings from two cars: the 2012 VW Jetta and the 2013 VW Passat. The EPA and CARB began a dialogue with VW. The EPA writes:
"Over the course of the year following the WVU study, VW continued to assert to CARB and the EPA that the increased emissions from these vehicles could be attributed to various technical issues and unexpected in-use conditions."
CARB gives more (highly technical) detail on these technical issues which, as far as I am able to understand them, appear to relate to software calibration of two particular engine components relating to emissions control.
VW conducted a voluntary recall in December 2014. According to the EPA, "testing showed only a limited benefit to the recall." CARB observes that "the recall calibration did reduce the emissions to some degree but NOx emissions were still significantly higher than expected."
CARB conducted more in-depth tests, designed to pin down the problem. They devised a new form of testing which, presumably, hadn't been anticipated when the 'defeat device' had been installed in the engines. These tests found that the engine in question simply wasn't controlling NOx emissions in the way that was required to bring emissions within regulatory limits. The EPA's letter gives the clearer explanation of what happened next:
"None of the potential technical issues suggested by VW explained the higher test results consistently confirmed during CARB's testing. It became clear that CARB and the EPA would not approve certificates of conformity for VW's 2016 model year diesel vehicles until VW could adequately explain the anomalous emissions and ensure [sic] the agencies that the 2016 model year vehicles would not have similar issues. Only then did VW admit it had designed and installed a defeat device in these vehicles in the form of a sophisticated software algorithm that detected when a vehicle was undergoing emissions testing."
According to CARB, this admission was made by VW during a meeting between VW, the EPA and CARB on 3 September 2015, fifteen days prior to the two published letters.
A certificate of conformity (COC) is a document issued by both state and federal authorities and a vehicle cannot be sold in the US without a COC. The COC confirms that the vehicle satisfies federal and state environmental protection regulations. According to the EPA, it was only when it became clear that VW's 2016 diesel models would not obtain their COCs – and so could not enter the US market – that VW revealed the presence of the 'defeat device' in the engines.
Since the EPA and CARB letters, VW has made a number of public apologies; it has said that it is investigating the matter internally with great speed; it has revealed that about 11 million cars may be affected worldwide; its share price has dropped, as the estimated potential liability – through regulatory penalties and recalls – runs into the tens of billions of dollars; and its chief executive, Martin Winterkorn, has resigned in the face of a collapse in confidence from VW's board and major investors.
Conspiracy, not cock-up
Let us assume that VW is sincere in its claim to be investigating the situation thoroughly and equally sincere in its commitment to make public its findings. Let us also assume that the board of directors and at least some of the senior management team at VW (including, quite possibly, the chief executive) were unaware of the defeat device until some time around the meeting of 3 September. At some point either before or very soon after that meeting, whoever attended the meeting on behalf of VW (and we do not know who that was) would, I expect, have notified the senior management team that – pardon my French – the shit was about to hit the fan. I would imagine that the internal investigation would have been launched within a very few hours of that message being sent.
Because I know nothing about car design and manufacture, or about VW's organisation, I cannot predict what the outcome of VW's investigation might be. But I can make some educated guesses about what appears to have happened, and about the questions that the investigation is seeking to answer.
For the purposes of this exercise, I'm going to make some guesses as to how car engines are designed. My guess is that a car engine is treated by a car manufacturer as a major project, with its own large dedicated team working on it over several years. I would expect that this large team would be organised into a number of smaller specialised sub-groups, each focusing on different aspects of engine design and performance. I imagine at least one sub-group was dedicated to the engine's computer control systems; at least one other was perhaps focused on emissions control, although this would probably have been a factor in a multiplicity of aspects of the engine. For the engine to work, no sub-group could work in isolation – there would have been close co-operation between groups and careful co-ordination of the whole team.
The Type EA 189 engine must have been a very significant project for VW. Due to go into 11 million vehicles over 6 years across a number of different models in the VW and Audi range (the EPA lists seven), the engine would have been the keystone of VW's global product strategy for an important segment of its business. Failure to deliver for the 2009 models an engine that offered both superior performance for drivers and compliance with the full array of environmental standards around the world would have been a huge blow to the group's global strategy, as well as being highly disruptive to VW's financial planning. The pressure would be on – but this would probably be usual within the organisation. There's always going to be a lot of pressure.
From this speculation on the internal working of VW – about which I actually know absolutely nothing – I draw two conclusions about what I imagine any investigation is going to find. Both are almost statements of the glaringly obvious.
The first is that what happened was deliberate, not accidental. Sometimes, compliance failures happen by mistake, often due to working under extreme pressure and doing something that was unintended. This does not appear to be one of those times. The level of complexity of the failure – what the EPA described as "a sophisticated software algorithm"; the level of effort and co-ordination apparently involved in its execution and deployment; and the scale of its deployment (11 million cars over 6 years) all suggest to me deliberate and willful action by someone within Volkswagen. Someone made the decision to implement the defeat device, carried through on that decision by having the device designed, coded and installed, and then additionally made the decision to conceal its existence from regulators and, quite likely, some of their own senior colleagues.
My second conclusion is that this was a conspiracy – in the strict meaning of the term, namely that it involved multiple people, all working together towards the same objective. I consider it unlikely that a lone 'rogue' individual created and installed the defeat device. I reach this conclusion for two reasons. The first, again, is the complexity and scale of the defeat device. I imagine it would have taken an array of skills and know-how to accomplish – from coding, to knowledge of all the factors affecting emission levels, to detailed knowledge of vehicle testing conditions. While it is possible that one person might possess all of these skills and knowledge, to the requisite level of expertise and detail, I think it is more likely that this was a team effort involving a number of specialists in the relevant fields. The other reason I think this was a conspiracy is the question of motivation. I think that lone actors tend to be motivated by self-interest, by personal gain. The primary beneficiary of VW's defeat device was VW itself – the device ensured they could launch a range of apparently compliant vehicles that they could sell to environmentally-conscious consumers and propel themselves to the status of world's biggest car manufacturer. This strikes me as a strategic decision, designed to increase VW's global competitiveness. I accept that there might have been an individual who feared losing their job if the team failed to deliver a compliant and marketable engine, and that's a pretty powerful motivating force. But I'd be surprised if a company like VW would hold an individual personally responsible for that kind of obviously collective failure. I'd equally be surprised if any individual were capable of making such a significant alteration as a defeat device to such an important product as the Type EA 189 without detection by anyone else in the company.
Who knew what and when?
So, the big unanswered question right now is: who knew what and when? Who made the decision to implement the defeat device? Who was put in charge of its execution? Who was in the loop?
What about the people who represented VW at all those meetings with the EPA and CARB? Did they know? Was the December 2014 recall just a ruse – and, therefore, another example of VW deceiving the regulators? Or were those people all kept in the dark, and thus as baffled as the regulators about why their cars were failing these new inspections? Was it only after CARB published its test results in August 2015 that those individuals were brought into the know?
Again, even with no knowledge of how VW is organised or how it operates, some intelligent guesswork is possible. Assuming my suppositions so far are vaguely accurate (not a very safe assumption, I accept) it would seem likely that someone was put in charge of overseeing the implementation of the defeat device. That someone would have had to have the authority – both organisationally and personally – to ensure that their instructions were followed by others, and that any qualms or unease about the compliance questions would be overcome. I would guess that there wouldn't be too many people who fit that description, and that the key individual(s) were identified by VW's internal investigation within 48 hours of its launch, probably much less. Someone in Auburn Hills has probably been absent from work for a couple of weeks or more and they've been bringing their own lawyer to meetings with their future ex-employer and the lawyer's job is to shift as much responsibility for the whole affair away from their client and onto VW.
Those who are two or three management layers above that person will also not be enjoying a lot of job security at the moment. If they knew what was going on, they will be held partially culpable for it. If they didn't, the effectiveness of their management oversight will be called into question. Either way, they will probably take their share of responsibility for the scandal and, if I'm right, be clearing their desks very soon. For similar reasons, expect further heads to roll in the senior management team.
I think you really would need to know about VW's organisation and about how car engines are designed to know how contained this conspiracy might have been. The question is: what's the smallest number of people who must have known about the defeat device in order to get it made and deployed, but who could have kept it secret from everyone else, including their own colleagues and bosses?
A word on corporate culture
I don't doubt that Winterkorn was sincere when he said that "the irregularities with these engines contradict everything for which Volkswagen stands"; or when he said that "we do not and will not tolerate violations of any kind of our internal rules or of the law." I don't know what the corporate culture is within Volkwagen nor how it is shaped and influenced. However, I believe, in part from my own experience in regulation and compliance, that conspiracies only survive in cultures that tolerate them; and a culture that has little genuine respect for regulatory compliance is more likely to see a major compliance failure.
Let me elaborate. Successful conspiracies are extremely rare – which is why we regard 'conspiracy theorists' are being so potty. They fail because they rely on the absolute co-operation and complicity of everyone involved. Everyone has to be equally motivated and equally in agreement with the objectives of the conspiracy. It only takes one person to choose not to co-operate – or, worse, turn whistle-blower – and the whole thing collapses into failure. What's remarkable about what happened at VW, assuming that there were multiple people involved, is for how long the conspiracy was effective. That suggests to me a culture that, Winterkorn's beliefs to the contrary, held regulatory compliance to be of secondary importance.
In a culture of compliance, everyone in the organisation regards regulatory compliance as an essential expectation – a vital aspect of their professionalism. I have seen organisations that lack this culture. They are sometimes organisations with well-resourced compliance departments and extensive compliance processes. Their failure to establish a culture of compliance leads to compliance failures in spite of the effort they believe they have made to avoid them. In these organisations, compliance is seen as separate from the core functions of the business – someone else's (the compliance department's) job – rather than integral to it. The compliance team is a frustration to the rest of the business, their elaborate processes seen as bureaucratic, cumbersome, and an insult to the professionalism of everyone that has to work with them.
In organisations that become highly focussed on a very specific objective – usually around volume of sales – employees become unconsciously motivated to cut corners on everything not conducive to that short-term objective. Product quality, customer service, after-sales support, product safety – anything that wasn't directly helpful to achieving that immediate goal might find itself relegated to secondary importance and vulnerable to compromises and corner-cutting. Compliance – often perceived as an obstacle to achievement – can easily become inimical to reaching that sales goal. If there is no established culture of compliance – and so compliance is not just seen as an obstacle but an unnecessary obstacle – then you have a culture in which you can conduct a conspiracy to deceive your regulators with minimal risk of anyone inside the company sticking their neck out to question you, let alone stop you.
VW was, by some accounts, very focussed on becoming the world's number one car manufacturer. All the incentives within the company would have been geared around that objective. Successful delivery of the Type EA 189 may well have been a core element of the 'get to number one' strategy. Regulatory compliance may have become a nuisance, and one that no one was incentivised to take seriously.
Finally, the question will undoubtedly arise as to how much this cultural attitude, to the extent that it applied in Volkswagen at all, was unique to it. Journalists and regulators are already asking if there might be a broader, industry-wide problem here. Some reporters are even beginning to claim that they have evidence of other manufacturers installing defeat devices similar to VW's (but, clearly, I'm not going to repeat those claims given the high likelihood that some or all might be libellous).
BBC Newsnight editor Ian Katz tweeted earlier today a report by Technology Editor David Grossman made, interestingly, in December 2014. It's about how car manufacturers manipulate emissions tests and it includes an industry expert (who, presumably, was named in an on-screen caption when the piece was broadcast but this is missing from the video posted online) who details what you take from the piece to be widespread industry practice. He talks about special tires run at very high pressure, expensive engine lubricants and removing the offside wing mirror to reduce drag. Then he says this:
"The car is actually able to detect that it's being tested because it's on a standard test cycle and they can use that to put the car into a mode in which the engine is ultra efficient or to reduce the sort of pollution that's coming out of the exhaust pipe during the test."
"Wait, wait, wait," Grossman interrupts in disbelief. "The car will know it's being test, and will therefore perform in a completely atypical way?"
As for my own car, I will have to see what happens. I have no way of knowing if it has a Type EA 189 engine or what might happen to it if it does. I bought it at a time when we all thought diesel cars were greener than petrol – because of the fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions. Knowing now that diesel cars are not remotely green, and that my VW in particular may be significantly less green than I had been led to believe, I'm feeling increasingly embarrassed to be driving it. I can't afford to replace but, one day, when I do, I doubt I will feel much enthusiasm for another Volkswagen. It may turn out that the entire company has a defeat device installed.

The NPS morning report says William Autrey was found the foot of an 80 foot cliff in the Bromide Hill area of Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Oklahoma.
The morning report says:
A hiker was killed in an accident during the evening of May 25th. Just before midnight on the 25th, the park received notice that William Autrey, of Shawnee, Oklahoma, was overdue from a hike in the Bromide Hill area. Three male friends had been hiking on the Bromide trail system and became separated at approximately 9:30 p.m. A search was begun and Autrey's body was found at the base of an 80-foot cliff along Rock Creek, about an eighth of a mile from the point where he'd last been seen by his friends. An investigation is being conducted. Supervisory ranger Albert Faria was the incident commander and ranger Luis Krug is the lead investigator.

I like these alot. I stumble on them sometimes. What`s better, I`ve got Micronauts annual 1, and that`s got a Hostess ad. You better write that down.
*Slow clap* You are doing the work of angels sir.
@wildvine: Thank you, ma'am. It's fun. :)
@kfhrfdu_89_76k: I love these old Hostess ads. I have dreamed of a TPB of them for years. So much fun packed into these one page comics. ...I'll keep Micronauts Annual 1 in mind! :D
Oh yeah... I did read that Would you buy it-blog post of these you made.
@kfhrfdu_89_76k: ??? I haven't made one...yet. ;)
I have a vibrant memeroy of that post. You just don`t remember.
@kfhrfdu_89_76k: It's coming, but I didn't have the scans to make one before. (I hadn't checked to see if the Seanbaby scans could be copied. I'm very happy that they haven't locked them down. I am on the lookout for issues that have the ads on the inside covers though - the colors are much sharper than on the old newsprint, and would make great scans!)
I know I've talked about the Hostess ads before (and my desire to see them collected) but there isn't an actual WUBI featuring them.
But I`m SURE you made that one already...Sure...
@kfhrfdu_89_76k: lol, Link me to it so I can enjoy it again. ;)
When I find it, yes.
I hope this wont be a wild goose chase.
@kfhrfdu_89_76k: It is, but start here - this should save you some time. ;)
@kfhrfdu_89_76k: lol, np. ;)
Alas...I was wrong.
I CAN`T have had creted my own memory! You have deleted that blog post just to have cruel fun on my expense! How dare you!!!?
@kfhrfdu_89_76k: And delete all that work! Noooo! Seriously: I have talked about the Hostess ads in the comments of one or more blogs, and referenced Seanbaby.com as well. I'm sure that's where you've seen what you're remembering.

Dante reflexively rose to his feet, glaring daggers at the Eevee. Idiot, that was what you got for being an utter klutz. You had almost hit his trainer kid. Almost was the lucky word of the day otherwise there would have been a relaxed club to the brat's head. He looked over at his human who at the abrupt arrival of people he hadn't expected to be around, had almost reflexively burst into frightened tears. Dante shook his head. What a kid.
Thankfully Ciel had recognized him and prepared to calm himself properly. Otherwise he would have made the poor lad float and he did
want a repeat of the boat incident. "O-Oh... H-Hi Bri..." He smiled nervously. "Um... Dante... relax..." The Cubone nodded coolly and stepped back, looking unconcerned all over again.
He turned off his phone and sighed. Well this was horribly awkward. He had to go find his family for Thanksgiving. And since his brother was about as good with directions as a broken compass, that meant start walking.
Rama heard his human huff and laughed. So much for that Pokemon capture. Maybe Cam would be willing to offer his help.
If Skye didn't end up having to save him.
(Shameless minor character insert GO!)
The fight between the Manectric and Arcanine was being casually observed from the shadows by a young man, one with a quiet, amused smile on his face. "You never change huh sweetheart?" he murmured happily. "Letting her run around like this... just like she wants. That's my Asha..." He sighed and spun a Pokeball. "I ought to stop this. Today is a day of family."
He tapped a Pokeball open and released a certain familiar comrade. "Fetch," he whispered and with a joyful bark the hound bolted into the fray, yowling delightedly and jumping in between the clashing beasts as best he could barking and laughing. Silly master. There was nothing here to fetch!
"Perhaps I misjudged you after all."

I've thought about LT and VO2 testing. I'm not sure how I could use the information for anything other than a scientific curiousity, though, so I've never considered it much further. Field testing seems much more applicable to training and racing.
I find the same thing with cars I work on. New engineers want to do all sorts of science experiments, which, no doubt, are cool in a geeky sort of a way. When I ask the question, "Now you're going to spend $XXXX to do 'Y'. How is that going to make the car faster?" I often get blank stares. If you have everything in place to actually use the information (i.e. simulations, etc.), then you can use the info. If you can't afford the whole ball of wax, though, you're really just pissing in the wind.
It's the same deal with lab testing in cycling. If you can do regular tests, adjust your diet (medical 'preparations' in times past) and training schemes and possibly even the races you do (i.e. you're a pro), then it makes sense. If you're not into it that serious, though, it's more of just a data point in space, which tells you quite little on it's own. You'd probably be better off spending that money somewhere else.
