South American tango
PHOTOS/JOHN BOLGER Glaciers in Chilean fjords.
Surviving a major weather event while cruising through the most dangerous waters in the world may not be for everyone, but it does make for some interesting cocktail party conversation. Throw in a historic earthquake and accompanying tsunami and you've got your basic two week vacation, or at least mine.
My husband and I left in early February for what is known in the travel industry as a "around the horn cruise." After sightseeing in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a few days, including Evita's balcony and her final resting place at the famous Cementerio Del Norte Cemetery, we set sail. Following a quick one day stop in Montevideo, Uruguay, the ship headed southeast in the Atlantic Ocean towards the Falkland Islands and right into the strongest winds and highest seas almost everyone on board, including the officers and crew, had ever encountered.
It was pretty obvious the first day that we were in some heavy ocean swells, but it wasn't until dinner that night when we were broadsided by a huge wave that everyone in the dining room including me let out a unanimous gasp. During the next day and night, the 719-foot ship was pelted with 50 to 75 mph winds and 35- to 40-foot seas. The natural light in our cabin would go from dim to bright based on the volume of water being splashed on the window and the height of the approaching swells. The pounding of the ship's hull against the assaulting waves was deafening and lying in bed was like being on a surf board in the Banzai Pipeline.
On the third day, we arrived in Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, but were unable to get off the ship because of continuing high seas. During one of the previous rock and roll days, an older woman fell, believe it or not while taking tango lessons, and broke her hip. She was evacuated from the ship in the Falklands in a heroic transfer from ship to pilot boat under extraordinary conditions. She was subsequently flown to Santiago, Chile.
The next day was eerily calm as we made our way to Cape Horn within Chilean territorial waters. Cabo de Hornas, is actually an island at the southern most point of South America adjacent to Tierra del Fuego and just north of Drake Passage, with the continent of Antarctica about 400 hundred miles to the south.
The waters surrounding Cape Horn are perhaps the most hazardous in the world with unpredictable williwaw winds, large waves, strong currents and icebergs. Sailors who have rounded the horn are entitled to wear a gold hoop earring in their left ear. Even cruising on a large vessel can be a challenge, especially for those with weak stomachs and unsteady equilibrium, but since we had already been though our challenging waters we just enjoyed the unusually calm seas.
The ship worked its way up to the Beagle Channel and called at Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city – fin del mundo, the city at the end of the world. We worked our way through the inland waterways to the Strait of Magellan and the small city of Punta Arenas, Chile, on our way to the Avenue of Glaciers and Amalia Glacier. Cruising through the Chilean Fjords was remote and magical with the snow topped Andes serving as a backdrop for the thousands of small islands totally devoid of human life. In Puerto Montt, Chile, we toured the lake district towns of Puerto Varas and Frutillar, settled by German immigrants in the mid 1800s and serving today as one of Chile's resort regions.
We arrived in the port city of Valparaiso, Chile, on Tuesday, Feb. 23, and continued on to the city of Santiago. After experiencing one of the most untouched and isolated regions in the world, the modern and sophisticated city of Santiago, nestled in the Andes, was a surprise and a treat.
We flew out of Santiago on Thursday, Feb. 25, at 10 p.m., about 30 hours before the 8.8 earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit Chile. Watching the news videos of the damaged passenger terminal at Santiago's international airport, that we walked through only a day before, I wondered about the lady who broke her hip and the waiter who served us our dinner the night before. Luck is random and hard to understand, but for whatever reason luck was on our side this time, returning us safely home with an earring in our left ear and lots of party chatter.

Nick Gazin's Photos Of Girls At Shows - Volume 25
Photos of Girls at Shows
Dear Noisey Lurker,
My name is Nicholas and I like to take photos of all sorts of people and things, but I get the strongest responses for my photos of women. Noisey showcases my photos of girls at shows for you to look at. Loud, dark nightclubs act as large sensory deprivation chambers. The drugs and alcohol further the ditching of inhibitions and self-consciousness and allow people to be more like their true selves. It might just also make them act like assholes. I like to take photos of girls at shows and so here are some of those.

There's a lot of excitement among fans upon hearing rumors Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande are planning to perform a duet together. A Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande Duet may really be in the works reported Inquisitr on April 22, 2014. This news becomes even more interesting following rumors Bieber and his girlfriend Gomez have recorded a duet called "Unfamiliar."
Rumors of the Bieber-Grande duet rumor first began to surface last September after both stars made headlines when a "kiss-selfie" of the two of them surfaced. At the time Grande was supporting Bieber's Believe tour during its North American leg. Not long after that Grande commented on Philly's Wired 96.5 radio show that Justin was on her wish list of artists who she wanted to work with. The attractive young brunette said she really wanted to do a song with Bieber.
It appears the only major delay for this duet has been Bieber's insistence that he write the song. Grande said they had a cool song under consideration for a duet. However, because Bieber didn't write it he said no to that song. Still, there have been hints in tweets from Bieber's manager Scooter Braun and Bieber himself that a duet is coming sometime soon from Grande and Bieber.
There really is a lot of interest in the rumors of a Bieber and Grande duet. Pop Dust reports the pair appear to be working on such a collaboration together. Beliebers and Arianators have been waiting anxiously for a long time for this news. Bieber and Grande make a great appearing team. This all makes everyone wonder if Gomez is jealous yet.

Marketing strategies have a bad reputation. That they're complicated. And involve large spreadsheets. And give you a headache.
However, your strategy for finding new clients and differentiating yourself, doesn't have to look like something that escaped from a physics textbook.
In fact, it can be as simple as a single sentence.
There are just three things your marketing strategy needs (hat tip to Michael Martine for this).
1. People
First, you'll need people. These are your customers. The particular group of businesses or customers that will want your products and services. Search for those people (and only those people).
2. Problem
Now that you've found your people, you'll need a problem to solve. What are those people struggling with? Not enough time? Want more sales leads? What big, hard (for them) problem do they have, that you have the skills and knowledge to fix?
3. Product
Now that you've got your audience, and have found their problems, what can you offer to fix that problem? Can you show the lead-deprived how to get more? Help busy CEOs produce blog content without spending 6 hours a day working on it (leaving little time for managing their companies).
No physics necessary!

Sony Ericsson to host another announcement in two weeks time
A trio of new Walkman phones have just been announced by Sony Ericsson, but rumor has it that the mobile phone company will have even more things to announce within the next few weeks.
This rumor is supposedly sourced from a trust-worthy source by the guys over at MobileCowboys.com, who either cannot or shouldn't not say exactly what SE will announce in two weeks time.
Will it be another set of new Walkmans (*yawn*)? A new line of Bluetooth speakers (*yaaaaaawn*)? The release date of the PSP phone (that's more like it!)? I guess we'll never know.
Well, we might know after the span of two weeks has passed, but at this point all this is just rumor and speculation. Whatever it is, let's just hope it's something worthy of all our time hypothesizing.

An advanced practice nurse (APN) is a licensed professional registered nurse with advanced training and education. This nurse specializes in one of four areas: certified nurse midwife (CNM), certified nurse practitioner (CAPN), certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), or clinical nurse specialist (CNS). Advanced practice nurses provide high-quality healthcare services. APNs diagnose and treat a wide range of health problems.
Advanced Practice Nurses have graduate, advanced education and clinical training beyond their registered nurse preparation. Most have master's degrees and many have doctorates. To become an APN in Illinois, the law now requires a master's degree in a specialty, specialty certification and state licensing.
APNs are involved in every area of health care and their role in the field continues to expand. APNs diagnose and treat a wide range of health problems. They have a unique approach and stress both care and cure.
APNs focus on the whole person when they are treating patients and educate their patients on the effects of the patient's specific health problems on the person, their loved ones, and their community. Besides clinical care, APNs focus on health promotion, disease prevention, health education and counseling. They help patients make wise health and lifestyle choices. By providing high-quality care and counseling, APNs can lower the cost of health care for patients.

This is a 2012 photo of Will Herring of the New Orleans Saints football team. This image reflects the New Orleans Saints roster as of June 4th when this image was taken. (AP Photo) ORG XMIT: NFLHS12 by ramon antonio vargas| email@example.com March 14, 2014; 4:39 p.m. Comments After a free-agent deal between New Orleans' 2013 special-teams captain Will Herring and Dallas fell apart Friday, the player's representative unloaded on the Cowboys, saying their behavior was "crazy" and "made no sense." Herring, a backup linebacker, had agreed to a one-year contract with Dallas on Thursday. But Dallas never announced the deal, and then news broke that it was off — according to Herring's agent, George Mavrikes, the Cowboys reneged because they thought the player "may be an injury risk." "I'm very angry with Dallas," Mavrikes said in an email. "(Herring) passed the physical ... . He is healthier than 90 percent (of the league). He hasn't missed a game or a practice the last two years," and he's only missed a handful of contests throughout his career, which began in 2007. Herring has missed 15 of 112 regular-season games possible. He's suited up for the Saints' last 32 regular-season games as well as two playoff contests in January. Herring led the Saints' special teams unit in tackles and forced a fumble. Rotating in at inside linebacker on defense, he also intercepted a pass in a Week 4 win vs. Miami and had six solo tackles. "They need solid players like him," Mavrikes said of the Cowboys. "Fairly priced, never an issue off the field, can play (outside linebacker), was special-teams captain, plays great against the pass and most of all, doesn't get hurt. "Which is why they said they want out of the deal they agreed to. It's crazy and makes no sense. He's the exact player Dallas needs." It didn't appear Friday that Dallas had commented on the situation with Herring. Cowboys beat writer Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Telegram reported on Twitter he was hearing both Herring and Dallas supposedly had a "change of heart." Herring is again a free agent. His contract with Dallas was supposed to be for one year and $1.02 million, with a $65,000 signing bonus and $300,000 in total guarantees, USA Today's Tom Pelissero had reported Friday. Perhaps there's a silver lining in the whole ordeal: Herring won't be joining a defense that was ranked last in 2013 and in a Nov. 10 road loss to the Saints allowed New Orleans to set NFL and franchise records with 40 first downs and 625 yards of offense, respectively. Herring on Friday remarked via Twitter, "The bad news is I'm not signing with Dallas. The good news is Jesus still sits on the throne. I hate it didn't work out. Wish them the best." He arrived in New Orleans in 2011 after four seasons with Seattle. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

No Rooz celebrations this year source of pride and joy for L.A.'s Iranian Americans
For the last seven years Los Angeles City Councilman Tony Cardenas has been one of the few local elected officials who has championed the recognition of "No Rooz" or the secular Persian New Year at L.A.'s City Hall. This year's honoring of No Rooz on March 18th by Cardenas and the L.A. City Council was no different and drew more than 100 local Iranian Americans of various faiths to officially mark the new year with a proclamation and a dessert reception afterwards. L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaragosia was also on hand to address the council and acknowledge the leadership of countless Iranian Americans working in city government and contributing to the continued growth of the city's business. Cardenas' embracing of No Rooz and the local Iranian American community is indeed unique as he has very few if any Iranian Americans living in his district. City officials should be applauded for honoring No Rooz which not only marks the beginning of Spring but also encourages a sense of harmony, mutual respect and love among all peoples. No where else but Los Angeles, which has so many different immigrant communities is the message of No Rooz more important.
The following is a brief message on video I captured of Cardenas sharing his No Rooz thoughts with local Iranian Americans at L.A.'s City Hall:
The following is a video I captured of the No Rooz "haf seen" table which contains many of the symbolic items Iranians put on display in celebration of the new year….

text: Theses - Engineering Systems http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/7884 2016-07-02T07:39:22Z Applications of design for value to distributed solar generation in Indian food processing and irrigation http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/100880 Applications of design for value to distributed solar generation in Indian food processing and irrigation Simon, Kevin Patrick Solar panels are not installed on an off-grid farm to save on home energy bills. Those systems are installed to enable communities to do activities that they could not do before. This thesis studies the application of design for value to distributed solar energy systems by considering how the energy system will enable new income generating activities. The work here couples business and energy models to optimize with value as an objective function. The interaction between energy production and value creation is complex, so multi-objective optimization is used as a tool to explore the design space and analyze the feasibility of such projects. This methodology is practiced in two case studies. One case study considers the design of a solar irrigation pump that is specifically designed for marginal-holding farmers in east India. The other case study analyzes the feasibility of small-scale concentrated solar powered (p-CSP) food processing with an organic Rankine cycle (ORC). In both cases, preliminary economic feasibility is established with the use of analysis by optimization and design for value. It was found that a solar pump could be produced which costs less than 500 USD cap-ex and meets 99% of a marginal-holding farmer's water demand. The solar food processing analysis showed that a system could be produced which costs 29,000 USD with a 15-year NPV of 33,400 USD at a discount rate of 18%. The programmatic tools that are used to explore this design space include genetic algorithms, pattern search, adaptive weighted sums, and Pareto fronts.

Breakthroughs in technology are critical in establishing and maintaining military superiority. Technology innovation strategies enable the U.S. to maintain this superiority by effectively yielding innovation from R&D investment. However, these strategies must evolve within increasing financial pressures, technological complexities, and dynamic geo-political conditions. Through an analysis of the innovation landscape and development of a taxonomy of open innovation, this dissertation shows that emergent open technology innovation strategies (OTIS) have been successfully applied in the commercial sector, and, after analyzing the relevant metrics, establishes that OTIS could be beneficial in secure U.S. Government (USG) R&D environments to enhance technology innovation. A system-level analysis of the complexities endemic to these environments revealed two fundamental challenges: (1) Secrecy Challenge: Secrecy and national security are often conflated. Secrecy can be in tension with innovation, such as when R&D is hampered because specific requirements are obscured for national security reasons. (2) Participation Challenge: Innovation strategies that depend on open collaboration to bring forth the fullest breadth of potential solutions are impeded when regulatory regimes appropriate these innovations in the name of national security without adequately incentivizing participants. This dissertation shows that USG cannot optimize the application of OTIS without addressing these pervasive challenges; high-level change is needed. This dissertation evaluates current approaches by regulatory regimes and uses a combination of legal, policy, and stakeholder analysis to identify opportunities for system-level improvement. This dissertation finds that regulatory regimes should moderate secrecy a) when secrecy is the real interest being protected, and b) if it can be done in a manner that furthers both innovation and national security. In particular, Government agencies tasked with critical innovation must be empowered to do so in a way that thoughtfully balances innovation and national security interests. This dissertation also finds that a system of non-monetary and monetary incentives is needed to prevent short-term national security interests from unintentionally jeopardizing long-term interests. Such system-level change is necessary to ensure sustainable improvement in USG's ability to effectively transition R&D investment into technology innovation to support national security. Thesis: Ph.

Experimental data was collected anonymously during games played by groups of human participants through a web interface. It was found that the negotiation process takes a non-zero number of iterations even under conditions that strongly favor agreement. A realistic scenario was created based on extensive interviews with the major stakeholders involved in a real negotiation of a plan for a new government information technology system. Solution space exploration of this scenario demonstrated that the experimentally obtained solutions lie far from the optimality frontier. Performance differed significantly in two groups of participants with dissimilar professional experience; games played by interns achieved higher scores than those played by senior staff. An agent-based model was built to simulate multi-stage design negotiation. Utility functions of individual players were based on their private agendas. Players voted for a design according to the relative attractiveness of the design as established by the individual utility function. The negotiation process helps players discover other players' agendas. It was hypothesized that knowledge of each other's private objectives would enable groups of players to achieve design solutions that are closer to optimal. Effects of learning were introduced into the model by adding a fraction of the sum of all players' utility function to each individual utility function. Simulated games with learning effects yielded solutions with higher total player scores than simulated games without learning did. Results of simulated games with a substantial level of learning effects were similar to average experimental results from groups of interns. Results of simulated games without learning were close to the average results of games played by senior staff.

As companies continue to move towards a diverse, growing set of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) applications to fulfill their information technology needs, the need to integrate data between them continues to increase. In addition, these diverse application portfolios are becoming more geographically dispersed as more software is provided using the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, and companies continue the pattern of moving their internal data centers to cloud-based computing. As the growth of data integration activities continues, several prominent data integration patterns have emerged, and commercial software packages have been created that covers each of the patterns below: 1. Bulk and/or batch data extraction and delivery (ETL, ELT, etc.); 2. Messaging / Message-oriented data movement; 3. Granular, low-latency data capture and propagation (data synchronization). As the data integration landscape within an organization, and between organizations, becomes larger and more complex, opportunities exist to streamline aspects of the data integrating process not covered by current toolsets including: 1. Extensibility by third parties. Many COTS integration toolsets today are difficult if not impossible to extend by third parties; 2. Capabilities to handle different types of structured data from relational to hierarchical to graph models; 3. Enhanced modeling capabilities through use of data visualization and modeling techniques and tools; 4. Capabilities for automated unit testing of integrations; 5. A unified toolset that covers all three patterns, allowing an enterprise to implement the pattern that best suites business needs for the specific scenario; 6. A Web-based toolset that allows configuration, management and deployment via Web-based technologies allowing geographical indifference for application deployment and integration. While discussing these challenges with a large Fortune 500 client, they expressed the need for an enhanced data integration toolset that would allow them to accomplish such tasks. Given this request, the Object Process Methodology (OPM) and the Opcat toolset were used to begin design of a data integration toolset that could fulfill these needs. As part of this design process, lessons learned covering both the use of OPM in software design projects as well as enhancement requests for the Opcat toolset were documented.

MONTVILLE TWP. — The Montville Police Department is investigating 18 identity fraud cases reported by residents in the Turnberry and Windsor Park developments.
According to a police news release, each of the cases are similar, and multiple retail accounts were opened using residents' personal information, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
The victims sometimes only became aware of the fraud when they received statements for accounts they had not opened, police said.
"We ask that all of our residents exercise due diligence in monitoring their own credit, and reporting any fraudulent activity to our department immediately," the news release said. "It is important to note that to date, these cases have been only been reported in the Turnberry and Windsor Park developments, and not anywhere else in the township."
Police believe the cases are connected, and are encouraging victims to report any further fraud.
Cases of identity fraud also have been reported in Wadsworth.
At least 24 people have told Wadsworth police their credit and debit cards were used for fraudulent purchases in March.
"We've contacted some of the financial institutions to try to find a common point of sales," Wadsworth Lt. Rob Wyrick has said.
Many of the charges are coming from the United Kingdom and France, but some have come from the Internet, Arizona and Costa Rica.

As one of only two people ever to make it to the Final Four as both a player and a coach, Billy Donovan, knows the essentials to help both coaches and athletes. In this father and son workout clip you will have the chance to see a great exercise that incorporates ball handling, changing direction with the dribble, footwork, and finishing at the rim. The beauty of this workout is that it's versatile.
Player Movements: For this drill you will need to setup 3 Cones (2 just outside each elbow and 1 in the center of the floor just between half court and the 3-point line). Coach Donovan wants the player to crossover, go between the legs, or behind the back at the top cone. Once that player gets to the elbow area, that player will treat the cone as a defender. The player will look to turn the corner and get to the rim.
Drill Essentials: 1) Explode when you simulate turning the corner. 2) Get a good angle of attack to the basket. 3) Don't fade away on the layup. 4) Go off the proper foot for the layup. 5) Use the rim for protection. 6) Try and limit your dribbles (Be efficient with dribbling).
Drill Tips: You can use the crossover, between the legs, or behind the back at the cone. Also, you can mix them together in the same sequence.
The previous clip can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "AAU Basketball Skills Series: Billy Donovan's Father and Son Workout." To view the latest video selections on Ball Handling, click here.

Get cooking this "Valentine's Day" weekend by whipping up a sensual feast for your sweetheart with the addition of a few libido boosting "game-changers" to your usual arsenal of aphrodisiacs. While having aphrodisiac go-tos such as oysters and "mood boosting champagne & chocolate" on the menu will definitely keep the party going, accordingly to the Valentine's Day "The Doctors" TV show clip on this page, there are a few surprising everyday foods that may also possess "aphrodisiac powers" to include on your "Valentine's Day" menu.
Check out the list of aphrodisiac and/or libido boosting foods below to incorporate into your Valentine's Day menu:
• Garlic: Interestingly, eating garlic increases the enzyme that creates nitrous oxide, which is what's responsible for erections. Garlic is also one of the "Party Girl Diet's" Top 10 Food proven to enhance health and longevity.
• Onions: Onions apparently increase the libido...who knew?
• Tomatoes: A superfood recently featured in the "California Living" Super Health & Fitness Special, and revered in the "Party Girl Diet" for their rich antioxidant lycopene properties, among other major health benefits, this sexy fruit will help keep skin soft and supple.
• Chili Powder: Gets the heart pumping, increases sweating, and feelings of excitement similar to what it's like to actually have sex. Use it in dishes like the "Party Girl Diet's" Game-Day Chili and not on the body as it will burn.
• Potatoes: This common 'vegetable" has a health affect on brain chemistry similar to chocolate wherein serotonin levels (feel good chemicals) are increased with consumption – which increases pleasure.
• Papaya: May contribute to enhanced female libido due to its estrogenic properties.
• Passion fruit: Anti-oxidants rich; and its sweet tastes stimulates the senses.
• Bananas: Potassium promotes production of sex hormones.
• Truffle Oil: Apparently, its "earthy" aroma turns on some women.
• Shitake Mushrooms: Increases immune defense and desire.
• Basil: Another 'aroma" turn-on, basil also stimulates sex drive and circulation.
• Honey: AKA "Nectar of the gods," honey is high in B vitamins and boron.
For the whole story, do check out the Valentine's Day themed special episode of "The Doctors" video on this page - which reviews their "orgasm buffet" (yes really) spotlighting Valentine's Day menu dishes made with the above aphrodisiac foods, and which are aptly names things like "sexy sauté," "climax casserole," "erotic tonic," and "frisky fruit salad."
This show clip also guest stars history's "matriarch of sex-talk" and Psychosexual Therapist Dr. Ruth Wertheimer, who is uber-known for her frank way of talking all things sex related. The segment climaxes after "Doctors" host and real-life MD - Dr. Travis Stork mentions to fellow host Dr. Lisa that the "frisky fruit salad is meant to be eaten with your hands," and as he proceeds to feed her a piece of fruit with his - Dr. Ruth chimes in with her distinctively hoarse voice and devious giggle "feed each other." Apparently, in addition to whipping up aphrodisiac dishes and elixirs for their Valentine's Day feast, "feeding each other" by hand is a technique people have been turning to throughout history to "turn-on" the object of their desire.
Here's to a fun Valentine's Day weekend, and until next time...keep the (healthy) party going ~ Aprilanne
PS: If your going to try the last "turn-on" tip...do remember to wash your hands :)

100 Upskirts Site Facts
100 Upskirts Review
Let me say right off the bat that I am very impressed with this website. One of the problems with upskirt content is that it is of course very fleeting. It's rare to be able to capture more than a minute of footage of one particular girl. If you did, you'd almost certainly get caught. The problem this causes is that upskirt websites that update weekly for example just don't have enough content. The videos in Jessy's website are generally only a minute long. But where his site differs is that it updates every single day with a new video. The majority of Jessy's videos at 100 Upskirts feature multiple girls each shot for a few seconds. But you do get quite a few videos with over a minute of footage from just one girl. These are usually in places where a girl is standing or sitting for a longer period of time, like on a public bus for example.
By the time you've read this,number will certainly have grown due to the daily updates. The fact that the videos are exclusive is a big plus. Many of the upskirt websites I've been inside show the same content over and over again. The videos in 100 Upskirts are fresh. I hadn't seen any of them prior to logging into this member's area.
This is a purely video site so no photo content to speak. Nonetheless, the members do get access to additional heifers second site under Upskirt Collection. And on this site you will find a photo gallery of heifers. This site is already well established, also contains additional videos! And on top of it also updates every day, but usually at least 2 or 3 updates per day. Upskirt Collection Archive is a combination of voyeuristic exhibitionism and Upskirts Upskirts - girls who heifers hunter spoke in showing their pussies. But it also includes a much wider range of content, such as tight jeans, lingerie, sexy shorts, celebrities section, down blouse and blouse up shots and camel toe.
This review can be much shorter than the other, but not to take as a negative. This website is very simple. It is updated daily with new and totally exclusive heifers shot every day. Additional bonus access to Upskirt Collection is already an impressive value for money goes through the roof. Fans will love Upskirt amount of content on offer and refresh across both sites. According to the opinion of this reviewer, fantastic membership, it is well worth the money for any fan of heifers. Enjoy!

Dave Brubeck: Maori Blues
Maori Blues
Dave Brubeck (piano)
Time Further Out (Columbia Legacy CK 64668)
Dave Brubeck (piano), Eugene Wright (bass), Joe Morello (drums).
Composed by Dave Brubeck.
Recorded: New York, June 8, 1961
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Dave Brubeck has said that Darius Milhaud (his mentor at Mills College in the late '40s) "told me to travel the world and keep my ears open." Well, Brubeck's "big ears" have stood him in good stead during 60 years of traveling, listening, absorbing, and composing--and one piece of that global crazy quilt is his "Maori Blues," resulting from a welcoming ceremony his Quartet experienced in New Zealand in 1959. (There's even a fuzzy-but-fun photo of this event tucked down under the disc in the CD tray of Time Further Out, the familiar album with the goofy Joan Mir¾ cover.)
Nominally a blues, Dave's tune is another "Time" experiment in 6/4, and it displays so much building energy that one might call it a "stomp" instead. The piano starts a repeated series of notes, and the bass and drums instantly lock into the then-uncommon, staggered groove (Paul Desmond sits this one out), releasing Dave's pent-up spirits and allowing him to work out some "native" aggression: the listener hears rough dancing, pounding feet, high emotions, slapped strings, pummeled keys, cymbal crashes, beat-down drums ģ and then the illusion of slowing motion as the three happy tourists pull together to dance off the set and out the door, with Joe's last bam answered by Dave's vaudeville ba da da dum. (Yes, Mrs. Calabash, it's a fine example of the Maori, the merrier.)

Why Startups Need To Get Ready For Christmas Now
I just finished the 20 Holiday Ecommerce questions teams must answer YES to before hitting the beach NOW (since it will be impossible during the relentless October – January holiday selling season). Finishing I realized startups need to ask important questions at this time of year too.
Web traffic goes UP in the fall. I would be willing to bet more startups get more funding during the September to June period than in the summer when the VC are off on their islands. Here are questions startups should answer YES to because doing so means they are ready for 4Q too:
22 Holiday Content / Marketing Questions For Startups
Is every slide deck you've created on Slideshare? (Yes / No).
Have you defined your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)? (Yes / No)
Have you defined your Unique Customer Aspiration (UCA)? (Yes / No)
Do you have a functioning website? (Yes / No?
Does your website look good on mobile devices? (Yes / No)
Do you ask for emails, comments and social shares? (Yes / No)
Is your subscription list growing daily? (Yes / No)
Are you making more sales every day (may not apply to all) (Yes / No)
Are you creating some content daily? (Yes / No)
Are you spending some time on Facebook, Twitter, G+ Daily listening & Learning? (Yes / No)
Are you sharing your content on social nets daily? (Yes / No)
Are you treating your PROCESS as a PRODUCT (by sharing it on the web)? (Yes / No)
Are you developing video content? (Yes / No)
Are you curating MORE than you are creating? (Yes / No)
Are you learning something new daily AND SHARING what you learn? (Yes / No)
Have you created your first crowdfunding campaign yet? (Yes / No)
Have You created A Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats (SWOT) analysis for Your Brand / Idea? (Yes / No)
Have you created a SWOT for your top 3 competitors? (Yes / No)
Was SOCIAL and WEB HEURISTICS part of your SWOTs? (Yes / No)
Are you creating a movement NOT a campaign to sell your startup? (Yes / No)
Are you enlisting brand advocates (willing to work for free or recognition)? (Yes / No)
Do you have the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to know if your marketing is more or less efficient? (Yes / No)
Answer a solid YES to these 22 questions and your startup is ready for the holidays. I would suggest startups hit the beach now too, but most startups are so HARD ON IT taking a vacation until they are rich and famous is out of the question.
How do you GET rich and famous? Answer YES to the 22 questions above :). M

Great! I don't have twitter!
- http://www.onedirection.net/ OneDirection.net
Hey everyone, we're wondering why you don't have Twitter? It's free to use. Is there another reason you don't have it?
- Nialler4ever
Lol, I didn't know the website can leave comments!
- Niesje Horan
- http://www.onedirection.net/ OneDirection.net
Yep, course we can! 😉
- Sarah Payne
Well some peoples parents dont let them or not old enough hope that helps
- Tiana Napolitano
Maybe they r not old enough?? I am allowed but I am just saying
- Natasha
im old enough its just trust reasons..
- Shonny Renee Malik
My mum wont let me have it:(((
- JSRRamsaran
ugh i have no twitter
and i was so excited while reading this
my parents wont let me have twitter
Same thing w me…
Umm… Idk maybe r PARENTS WON'T LET US MAKE ONE! Not everybody has parents who let them do just about ANYTHING…
- Annika Vergara
My parents are very over protective, and of course they won't let me use Twitter.
- Olivia Clayton
Im only 11 so cant join plus mum found out my sis had twitter so now shes not lettin me join when im 13!!!
- Tom Havrilka
What you maybe don't realize is that a lot of directioners are minors, so we don't get input on some decisions that our parents make, like the one to get a twitter. We want one, but our parents don't want us to because they want to keep us safe from the world and because they can be overprotective sometimes. It's not our fault, and we do know it's free, but some of us simply aren't allowed to make one. Seriously, is it possible to do something by email or something almost everybody has? It would make a lot of us REALLY happy!!!
Thank you!!
- Tildisen
EXACTLY!! I ABSOLUTLY AGREE! You said everything that I wanted and was going to say! But I did not find all the right words..;)
- http://www.onedirection.net/ OneDirection.net
Do most of you have Facebook or is that the same situation as well?
- Tom Havrilka
Same situation. Either underage or have overprotective parents.
- amy styles
Yes it is the same situation. I only have google+ and gmail
- Niesje Horan
hahaha, same, i only have FB, GMAIL, and Google+
- ninjakitty1133
No one here has a twitter for probably very good reasons …I don't have one , but I do have a facebook. You should use Facebook instead, so we can win
- Tiana Napolitano
ummm i dont have fb and i have twitter, they wont change it just for u guys coz wat about the peeps who have twitter?
- ninjakitty1133
Yes mostly over protective parents like mine… uhg , mom and dad,… you gotta love em' but seriously mostly over protective parents
- Shonny Renee Malik

- Guest
I want to win because I want to show how much I love One Direction. They mean so much to me and I know that I wont probably meet them because I aren't very wealthy. But I can always try and I won't give up! I really like them and they give me so much confidence! I love their music and if I won it would be amazing. I know there are many people like me who really want this. But I wont give up because one thing that One Direction has taught me is to follow your dreams and don't give up; because dreams do come true just like One Direction's dream came true. I wont give up and I will try my best to meet them and win this. If I don't win; at least I will know I didn't do anything to try. At least I know I tried my best.

This severe rainstorm is an inconvenience to most Menifee residents, but it doesn't seem to bother this flock of egrets, which are finding muddy perches in the midst of the fast-flowing Salt Creek at Bradley Road. This type of heron is often found in open fields around Menifee, but not usually in such great numbers -- in not in what might be considered more of their natural habitat.
Bradley Road is closed where the creek is flowing over the pavement. Flooding is also taking place where Murrieta Road crosses the creek. Standing water on Interstate 215 between McCall Road and Scott Road has caused slowing and at least one accident this morning. Many streets have flooding, especially at intersections and dips.
The staff of Menifee 24/7 urges you to be careful and stay off the roads when possible. And check back with us often here and on our Facebook page for weather updates.

XXVIII Biennal – International Biennal Antiques fair of Florence
Antique dealers, collectors, scholars and art lovers, prepare biennial appointment with the International Exhibition Market of Florence, now in its twenty-eighth edition, Palazzo Corsini October 5 to 13. The seventy-four workers (63 Italian and 11 foreign) will set up their stands in a setting specially designed by Luigi Pizzi. Are expected in the course of the event, more than 25,000 visitors.
5000 will be about the works selected by the exhibitors for their rarity and quality and previously carefully screened by the various committees of specialists to check authenticity 'and conservation. The opening of the Biennale will be preceded on the evening of October 3 by a gala dinner in the Salone dei Cinquecento in Palazzo Vecchio in the presence of the authorities' towns and Sustainer of the Committee, chaired by Marchesa Bona Frescobaldi. In addition to these festivities opening, there will be the traditional and impressive display of fireworks over the Arno, in closing. The Biennale will find, this year, its own counterpoint in an exhibition staged at the Museo Bardini entitled" No Returns 2" in which will be exhibited works purchased by the Italian antiquarians on the international market and reported in Italy.

It's look like a lumpy sack with a hat, on a piss yellow background. Not to mention the sack is the same color as shit. It makes you look like a pervert Nocturne.
My favorite avatar that you had, Squid, was that high kitty.
It was seriously the best thing ever.
I kinda like my avatar right now.
makes me feel chill
I like my new signature image. I don't know if I should switch my avatar around though, I like this one
I really enjoy any art involving wolves. Particularly Okami.
Yeah, but it's a screenshot from a video game so...
And he's a dog anyway.
What video game is this from?
Tales of Vesperia. It was once exclusive to the 360 and now it's jumping to the PS3 with extra content included. Which ticks me off a bit, but whatever.
Why would that tick you off, the superior system recieving what it deserves
Ah, well, it hasn't even come out in Japan yet, so it may not even come to America if they look at the low sale numbers on the 360. (But that's probably why it didn't sale well. Microsoft shouldn't have RPGs.)
Exactly, They are trying so hard to make RPGs for a system demographic who has just can't inteletually handle it, and it just doesn't work
PS3 should be trying to get these exclusives, then they would actually be able to finish off 360 and put it in it's place
And if the game is good enough, it would be worth playing through again in a better form, like playing Kingdom Hearts Final Mix after beating Regular Kingdom Hearts
Heh. It worked eariler for Namco, so I guess they were just trying their luck again. (They released Tales of Symphonia for the Gamecube and it became the best-selling RPG for the console because they were like, 5? good RPGs for the Gamecube if you don't include Zelda)
And Tales of Vesperia is a good game. So I guess I should be more positive.
You know what's cool? I turned on my TV this morning and E3 was on... And they were showing Kingdom Hearts. I don't know for what system, but it was a nice surprise.
Wha!? I just posted a thread about E3 a second ago in the multimedia forum!
I didn't see anything about any Kingdom Hearts news yet though. My guess was it was either the DS game or Birth by Sleep for PSP. I have a feeling PSP and Wii are gonna be huge this year with new stuff. I'd love to know details about that though
Holy shit Mario.
Fanboy much?
They were showing the KH game for the DS. 358/2 days
Yeah, I just looked it up, I'm suprised the DS one is coming out so early. I refuse to remember all those damn numbers
And no, not really. I just pay attention to the things that are important. I heard there was gonna be good stuff about PSP released, so I have an invested interest, that and the Wii press confrence suprised me with lots of good games coming out. Now go play Super Smash Bros Brawl Mr. King Dedede
Exactly, leave 360 to the fags, and let the good games go to PS3 as it should be, as it was in the previous generation
And it seems like thats what they are doing based on the Sony Press confrence today. It seems like they are branching away from the FPSs and moving towards pretty much every other genre with less emphisis on those, and reverting back to it's roots a little more, going back to the more creative and unique titles
I just wish the PSP go actually had a UMD drive, I was confused when they said they were still supporting the UMD, but I guess that's only with the 3000 Series PSP
hold on, is TA hitting on me?
Yes ma'am.
You know what's incredibly pitiful? Submission. Don't sell your integrity, you get no commission.
Duh, of course he is, but it must be hard for you to see, men in your time period usually aren't so forward towards women
ta wants to smash your back doors in
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

To you people complaining that the people on Social Security are freeloaders, weĺre not, we paid into it. I worked all my life and paid into it and I deserve it. Youĺre probably one of the ones who wanted to work under the table all your life and not pay taxes and now youĺre old and canĺt get it so you think the people who did pay into it are freeloaders. Youĺre the freeloaders; you want something for nothing and you never paid into it.
I just wondered since oil has dropped $8 a barrel why hasnĺt fuel oil dropped more than 6 cents a gallon? Seems to me somebody is being ripped off. Somebody please reply.
Just a little puzzled with the person calling in about flip flops making a person half dressed. Raise your head up just a little bit here. Do you notice butt cheeks showing under those shorts, exposed muffin tops, pierced belly buttons, exposed bra straps under those teeny tiny tops that leaves nothing to the imagination? And you are really complaining about a toe? Oh brother.
I agree with the person who called in about flip flops at a restaurant. If youĺre going to go out and eat, get dressed. Whatever happened to the sign No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service? Flip flops are not shoes. They are the things people put on their feet because they are too lazy to put shoes and socks on. Dress up if you want to go out and eat. If not, eat at home.
September 30 was 24 years that my cousin Tim Dice was murdered at the former gas station at High and Adams streets. I would like to know, whoever did this, donĺt you feel guilty that you took him away from his family?
For the intelligent person who thinks Romneyĺs comments about the 47 percent were just for those on Welfare and not for those on Social Security, Medicare and disability, Iĺm intelligent too and I find it hard to believe that 47 percent of the country is on Welfare.
To Just Wondering, as you watched the footage of the 747 carrying the space shuttle Endeavor on its back flying all around, werenĺt you kind of wondering where those tax dollars were going? And youĺre concerned about property taxes. Those were our tax dollars that were flying it all over the sky even in front of the Hollywood sign in California.
The Pottstown and Pottsgrove school superintendents both resigned last week. Pottstown and Pottsgrove should consider sharing a school superintendent.
This is to the PECO driver who was in front of the Phoenixville Hospital the other night beeping his horn because I was trying to make a left turn. For your information there is no turning lane to go left into the Gateway Pharmacy. Next time youĺd better learn how to drive.
Is it true that West Pottsgrove gives their township manager free gas and a vehicle? As a West Pottsgrove resident, can you tell me where to pick up my gas card?
The commonwealth court is once again revisiting their decision on the voter ID law. When everyone registers to vote, they get a card from the county and it has their information on it, their address and their affiliation. Why canĺt their photo be put on it at that point in time, like gun permits and other government issued IDs? Just something to consider.
I heard on NPR news that itĺs very difficult or almost impossible to close businesses in France. The French should come to the U.S. and take some lessons from our politicians and CEOs. They have a lot of experience in layoffs and plant closings.
It would be interesting to know how many times the people who are having to get photo IDs have voted in the past 10 years or so.
In regards to a comment in Sound Off about Mitt Romney claiming heĺs going to take the country in a different direction but doesnĺt give any details, does anybody up for election give details? No. Barack Obama never did and look what heĺs done for this country.
I see a lot of people donĺt like voter ID. It said in the paper Barack Obama had a lot of votes from dead people. Everywhere you go you have to show ID. What do they have to hide?
I totally agree with the letter by Nancy Dolan about how property/school taxes are killing Pottstown. This letter was right to the point. If you people are truly concerned about this issue, you need to call Rep. Thomas Quigley at 610-326-9563 and tell him that we need to definitely have this issued resolved and soon. Itĺs very important.

Secrets of Success
How opposite are you with your husband or partner & still have a meaing relationship? read my list
Monday, December 10, 2012
My husband & I are so opposite no one knows how we even came to be. My list of our oppositions.
1. I am romantic Gary is not
2. I love classical music , opera, & bluesy music, Gary like's the 60,70 & 80's music
3. i love our local plays, plus going to Broadway in New York City, Gary does not like plays
4. I love all kinds of ethnic foods , Gary is a plain meat & potato eater he never had a casserole dish , not even macaroni salad or potato salad the only soup he ever ate was chilli & tomato
5.I love the rain, it depresses Gary
6. I love back ground sounds, Gary likes silence
7.I love drama on television shows, Gary likes comedy
8.I get all beside myself when things happen & Gary is so calm he says come sit here by me & tell be all about it.Then I feel better because he listened, while I ranted then he says don't you feel better now!!!
9. I love anything old.. items, houses , old buildings. Gary likes the modern
the list could go on,but I do not want to drag it out
What holds us together with so many opposites.
1.That we have respect for one another in the things we each love in life. ( even when they are opposite.)
2.We are both compassionate about those that have less, we help them out
3.We laugh together about the silly things we do at times
4. We love to camp & then when rain comes in the night it sounds so beautiful as it falls on the camper , then we cuddle together, then Gary is not depressed because it is at night
5. We go for hours & sometimes all day on our motorcycle
6. We love nature outdoors & watch certain shows of nature,on Public broadcasting
7. We both like airplane shows, (& built together planes to fly they are remote control )
8. We both sit down together to discuss buying anything large & costly,if we need to talk about issues the tv is shut off ,radio & phone come's off the hook, that way we have each other;s undivided attention.The issue may not be solved, but we both know that each other are aware of the issue & what each other is feeling. I use to work with 95 % women when i was younger, I heard a lot of them say their husbands ought to know what they are thinking. I said if I ever married that would never happen

My DH and I are different in almost every way, except we almost both always want to use the microwave or the kitchen sink at the exact same time. We also both like to run the dishwasher or washing machine while the other one is in the shower. So we have all the really important things in common. lol

My DH and I are so very different....sometimes that is why I get so excited when he goes away so that I can do what I want when I want. We do have a few things in common that keep us interested but I wonder sometimes as well what brought us together. Somehow we make it work.
Have a great evening.

My husband and I are very different in many things, but not in religion or money. As time has passed and the hard edges of opinion inevitably soften, we have become more alike. It all works out.

I understand that completely. My husband and I are totally different in most everything and yet, if we walk into a furniture store or into an art gallery alone and at totally different times, we would each walk out with the same items. Go figure. It works and it is so nice that it does work.

gramercy tavern's gingerbread
It took me 32 years to make gingerbread but I got lucky on the first try with this one. It doesn't hurt that this is from one of the only chefs I break my no-fawning-over-chefs-rule for: Claudia Fleming, back when she was at Gramercy Tavern, one of the only restaurants I break my no-restaurant-worshiping rule over. (These days, she's at the North Fork Table & Inn, making delicious breakfast scones among other things.) Things just seem to taste better when she baked them first.
I hope that whereever you are, your break is both merry and bright and filled with homemade deliciousness, the John Denver and the Muppets Christmas Album, argyle sweaters, egg nog, lasagne and gingerbread houses, or you know, Chinese and a movie. Whatever your version of a perfect Christmas is, I hope you get it.
Gramercy Tavern's Gingerbread
Claudia Fleming
[New note, Christmas 2015: This cake gets an update as a Gingerbread Layer Cake with Whipped Mascarpone Cream and Sugared Cranberries — check it out.]
Just to note, this is no Starbucks gingerbread loaf. It is not mild or docile in any way; this is for that family member who loves old-school, intense gingerbread cakes and complains that they don't make them like they use to. Or, it's for people like me, who didn't even know she liked gingerbread before trying it.
The only snafu I ran into with this recipe is that the cake sunk a bit. Since it was in a bundt pan (flipped upside-down for serving) no one will be the wiser, but I suspect if the problem is anything like the sinking honey cake, there might be too much baking powder in it. You'll only want to consider dialing it back a pinch if you are subdividing it into a pan that you won't serve upside down.
Speaking of, I have successfully divided bundt pan recipes into two full-sized loaves before, but haven't tested it with this recipe yet. If you do, let us know.
1 cup oatmeal stout or Guinness Stout
1 cup dark molasses (not blackstrap)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cardamom
3 large eggs
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Confectioners sugar for dusting
Accompaniment: Unsweetened whipped cream
Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter bundt pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess. (She is not kidding about this. I used a nonstick pan with a butter/flour spray and still lost a chunk of cake. I will be more generous next time.)
Bring stout and molasses to a boil in a large saucepan and remove from heat. Whisk in baking soda, then cool to room temperature.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl. Whisk together eggs and sugars. Whisk in oil, then molasses mixture. Add to flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
Pour batter into bundt pan and rap pan sharply on counter to eliminate air bubbles. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out with just a few moist crumbs adhering, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack and cool completely.
Serve cake, dusted with confectioners sugar, with whipped cream.
Do ahead: This gingerbread is better if made a day ahead. It will keep 3 days, covered, at room temperature. I am sure it will keep well-wrapped in the freezer even longer.

version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00000000. Whenever it happens, the XP theme change to classic theme then change back to the normal theme. The network goes down and I must restart PC for the network to come back online. What could be causing this and how do i fix it?
My PC keeps reporting the following error in the event viewer around every 10-15 minutes:
Despite the extremely not-useful error message (another favourite of mine is "The data is the error"), sometimes the standard link that is shown for each event, in fact links to a very specific knowledge base article. You can get there by clicking the blue link in Event Viewer:
(which, when clicking from the Event Viewer, might include the event ID if applicable).
So, not very likely, but: maybe Microsoft surprises you if you click it. :-)
(See also How To Solve Any Windows Problem with Event ID.)
It seems like an executable starts every 10-15 min that does these funny stuff and aborts.
If the idea of examining the Event Log doesn't work out, you can use Process Explorer : Leave it running and when the funny stuff starts, immediately switch to Process Explorer - the ending process will be highlighted in red for 1 second. You can prolong the delay to more than 1 second by using the menu Options / Difference highlight duration.
