Today (22 March) marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Depeche Mode's eighth album 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' and also the eve of the release of new – 13th – studio album 'Delta Machine', which on first listen sounds like another forbidding techno-industrial beast. Seems the time's ripe for assessing the Basildon synth-pervs' weighty back catalogue.
12. 'Construction Time Again' (1983)
Something has to come last, and what better than the first time Depeche Mode tried Industrial? Inspired by Einstürzende Neubauten, they decided it all meant moving concrete slabs and hitting pots. Another alarming development was Martin Gore whipping out a guitar for 'Love In Itself' on Top Of The Pops. But for all the rubbish like 'PipeLine', 'Shame' and 'More Than A Party' (rock'n'roll Mode, anyone?), there's an 'Everything Counts' to soothe the pain. Call it 'transitional".
11. 'A Broken Frame' (1982)
It could've all gone tits-up when Vince Clarke left after their debut album, but Depeche Mode came out fighting. The only plausible reaction to opener 'Leave In Silence' is 'Good Christ, what have we here?" as it throbs and whumps into DM's new dark heart. By the time we get to 'Monument', they're inventing techno just like Derrick May always said. Then it all goes cod reggae on 'Satellite' and everyone looks awkward.
10. 'Some Great Reward' (1984)
On the one hand you've got the ridiculous hits like 'People Are People' and the S&M festival of 'Master And Servant'; on the other the twee 'Stories Of Old' and the bombastic void of 'Something To Do'. Sitting in the middle is Martin Gore's gorgeous 'Somebody', and general critical opinion. We'll stay on the fence here. It's the end of the first phase, with the pivotal 'Singles 81-85' just around the corner.
9. 'Exciter' (2001)
A quantum leap into the future now. Depeche Mode had emerged from the grisly old 90s with a singer who'd 'died" and come back wanting a slice of the songwriting action. Dave Gahan would get that next time around but here Gore's in sole charge for the last time, presiding over the masterful, bluesy 'Dream On', steam-pump synth ballad 'Comatose' and the electro doo-wop of closer 'Goodnight Lovers'. On the knobs for the one and only time is LFO's Mark Bell, creating an album of texture and depth.
8. 'Sounds Of The Universe' (2009)
After a four-year break, Depeche Mode's last album before this week's 'Delta Machine' found them barely missing a beat, three decades into their career. As on 'Playing The Angel', Gahan has three songwriting credits but it's not helping his state of mind. 'Words can leave you broken inside," he croaks on 'Hole To Feed'. Elsewhere he's behind the snaky acid and thwacking blues of 'Miles Away/The Truth Is' and fronting 'Corrupt', Gore's slow-burning, romping bastard featuring the charming lines, 'I could corrupt you/It would be easy/Watching you suffer/Girl, it would please me". No one's mellowing around here.
7. 'Speak & Spell' (1981)
Back to the start. Now DM are these grizzled old gits with guitars to rough up their trademark synths and songs that wallow in filth and misery, it's easy to forget there was a time when they barely needed a razor blade between them and they had that bloke from Erasure at the back. 'Speak & Spell''s a glorious synth-pop debut though, from the 'Kraftwerk on poppers" 'I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead' to 'Just Can't Get Enough', a record that'll still fill floors decades after Gahan's final death.
6. 'Playing The Angel' (2005)
The best of this century's Mode output so far (too early for a broad assessment of 'Delta Machine'), 'Playing The Angel' was the first helmed by some-time Blur and U2 producer Ben Hillier and the first to feature a smattering of Gahan songs. No matter who's penning them, the tracks advance like terror machines across jagged industrial deadzones, blasting vicious preacherism on 'John The Revelator' and outrageous twisted sirens of guitar on 'A Pain That I'm Used To'. Then 'Precious' is all smooth and propulsive – so many strings to their bow right now.
5. 'Ultra' (1997)
Gore wrote the songs but 'Ultra' is all 'Dave Gahan: 'My Drugs Hell'". Or, 'Here's what happened when we met Trent Reznor". To be honest, DM had given Nine Inch Nails enough inspiration so it's natural they should reach a similar point, and the 'Mode get there with their unparalleled pop chops intact – see the distorted, propulsive 'Barrel Of A Gun' and the muscular 'It's No Good'. The uncharacteristic pedal-steel-warmed 'The Bottom Line' takes the biscuit though.
4. 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' (1993)
Where Basildon Man turned Baritone Jesus. Utterly off his gourd, Gahan became the bedraggled rock dude, mustering all the righteousness at his disposal to growl over the obscene riffs of 'I Feel You', break down before his Lord on the mighty gospel of 'Condemnation' and poke about for a morsel of redemption on 'Higher Love'. 'Judas' is a bit Monarch Of The Glen, mind.
3. 'Music For The Masses' (1987)
'Music For The Masses' is so good, 'Behind The Wheel' can start off like Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now' and Depeche Mode lose none of their black-garbed punch. Other highlights include live perennial – and monstrous career highpoint – 'Never Let me Down Again', perverted electro throwback 'Strangelove' and the Satanically miserable 'Pimpf', as the band take their first baby steps towards their greatest triumph.
2. 'Black Celebration' (1986)
But before that, an equally important notch on the Mode trajectory. Coming directly after the story-so-far of 'Singles 81-85', 'Black Celebration' sounded like relief, as if the teen-pop era (however twisted it was getting) was over and now they could get down to the serious business of singing, 'You're only 15 and you look good/I'll take you under my wing/Somebody should". Ohhhhkaaay. Dodgy lyrics aside, the album excels through the bleak title track, Gore's atmospheric 'A Question Of Lust', that dubious live favourite 'A Question Of Time', gloomy, needy anthem 'Stripped' and the terrific pop-noir of 'Dressed In Black'. It's a statement of intent that they continue to fulfil.
1. 'Violator' (1990)
After the awesome 1989 live album '101' (not here because, well, it's a live album), everyone knew Depeche Mode were a big deal. To the uninitiated, those plink-plonk Essex synth-boppers had just broken the States in almighty stadium style. It was a bit of a shock to the initiated too. After 'Violator', no one was surprised. Trailed the previous year by the twanging, musclebound 'Personal Jesus', it presented a 'Mode as comfortable in their skin as they'd ever been – still capable of pop corkers like 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Policy Of Truth', but honing their eerie, threatening ballads in 'Halo' and 'Sweetest Perfection'. Like New Order with 'Technique' a year earlier, Depeche Mode had returned better than ever to show the upstarts how it's done.

Great experience!
The BridgeClimb was excellent! Very rewarding view of Sydney's harbor.
calming when im on top, chillin going down..coz it and #39;s winter time!!!just luv it. Tourist..ya and #39;ll must do this to say you and #39;ve been to Sydney otherwise you have not!
Not for the faint hearted and certainly not if you are afraid of heights
It was extremely well organised and a fantastic exhilarating lifetime experience
Highly recommend it.
This tour was amazing!
This tour was amazing!
Awesome experience worth every penny. Not a hard climb and they equip you with everything.
It's so worth the expensive entrance fee and you also get ticket to the bridge pylon . The higher I climbed the more I relaxed I became. So don't worry if heights are not your thing! You are not rushed and able to enjoy the views. Would do it again - certainly .
We really enjoyed our bridge hike. We were suited up for the climb by Eleanor and Alice was our guide. The equipment and training provided is excellent and the time on the bridge was wonderful. It is an exciting climb and the views are incredible. We loved every minute from start to finish.
Completely amazing! Very professionally done. Very safety oriented! Knowledgable and friendly guides. Fantastic views. Free video - have to pay for pics - but worth it! A lot of money - but 10 years from now I won and #39;t remember how much I paid - only that it was an incredible experience!!!
This is a bucket list tour. I thought it would be scary but it wasn and #39;t. The crew was fantastic. The views from the bridge are absolutely amazing.
This tour was amazing anyone going to Sydney must climb the bridge!!
Views are stunning from the top staff are friendly and great fun puts you at ease about the height.
Enjoyed the Bridge climb! Great fun, excellent guide. I recommend it!
Super experience! Even if you're afraid of heights, this is one worth conquering.
It was a great trip, and is something you should do in Sydney. A true 'once in a lifetime' photo opportunity.
Excellent tour guide! He was very friendly and I would choose him again should we ever come back. My husband and I would highly recommend the bridge climb. It was such a cool experience and should be done once in your life!
Fantastic tour! Well-organized tour, professional and friendly staff, and the dance floor at the top during Vivid Sydney was great. Definitely a tour I'd do again to see the daytime view as well!
This was a cool experience. We did the Sampler climb which was about 1 1/2 hours long and a lower price. You climb nearly to the top and stay on the interior of the bridge. It was a beautiful day and this was fine for our budget and schedule and wasn't physically taxing as we both are used to walking a lot. Our guide was very knowledgeable and super nice. Allow yourself enough time to arrive at the facility as it was a little trickier than just 'arriving at the bottome of the harbour bridge.'
Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The climb leader was very friendly and knowledgeable about the bridge history and made the climb a fun and entertaining experience. If you are considering the climb, make sure you do the full 3.5 hour climb!
Thank you very much Jasmine and Harbour BridgeClimb!!!
Faizan Hassan United States of ...
This was a once in a lifetime experience. We happened to book this tour on the first day of Vivid 2016 and the view from above was just memorable. Highly recommended for those visiting Sydney,
First of all, I am afraid of heights even though I work on planes as a living. But our guide made it worth while. The 1 hr preparation before the climb, stopping throughout the climb and letting us know what the next step is, taking photos, and enjoying the scenery really made this tour worth while! Made me feel at ease and really took in the views from up there! Thanks!
This experience was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event. It was very professionally done and cool to do. I had booked through Viator before leaving on my tour of Australia, but when another fellow traveler decided to do the Bridge Climb at a different time, I was able to easily change my time to do the experience with her. Viator also refunded me the difference between my paid for climb and the climb I took difference between sunset and day climb. The only negative was our guide. He did not take the time to take individual pictures on the top as we saw other guides do to the two groups in front of us. But I loved it and would recommend this to all. I am 65 and it is not difficult AT ALL!!
Fantastic. well organised and safe, my wife did have a problem when de-sending the bridge with the vertical ladder access but an alternative route was provided.
The best experience ever! Would do it again in a heartbeat! Very good to learn the history of this bridge and you get a great view of Sydney as well. Loved it.

The stupid posts by fudfighter4 and the usual suspects belie reality and investor sentiment.
The results were disappointing is true- the trial met the primary endpoint of being not as good as TOBI - yippie!
The adverse affects were smoothed over by Will Lewis who did an exemplary job of speaking to Arikaces advantages for CF patients.( duration, but competitor TIP is cheaper,effective and approved)
Investors know that the regulatory pathway investor sentiment company finances were all lowered going forward,.CF in Europe in a couple of years is a minimal marketing victory imho- I predict it will not get first tier coverage in socialized medicine govt and drug coverage.
The risks are much higher now - dilution delays are just 2 possibilities that should give all caution.The clowns will post out of theirass to make themselves feel good. My ignore and trading will continue on Monday
Good Luck

| Zekrom1010101010 chapter 3 . 8/23/2015
I would like to see a bug/dark pokemon try to take Mewtwo out! It's called Aura Sphere and Aeriel Ace baby! And Protect and Recover! And possibly counter/mirror coat!
| The M.H.T.of R chapter 9 . 2/26/2014
Thank you for writing this. It was amazing and I really enjoyed it.
| MaiWishes chapter 8 . 12/4/2013
Mewtwo is very...calm btw. Is he the same Mewtwo as the movie? You never said when this takes place?
| MaiWishes chapter 9 . 12/4/2013
Good Kitty! Dawwwwwww xD off to read the next
I admit at first I didnt like your Brenda, she was too uptight, maybe have her bitch at Mewtwo less in the first 1-3 chaps.
| Mr. 16384 chapter 9 . 11/16/2013
A fantastic story. Mewtwo's meekness at times did stretch my belief a tad bit, but other than that, really nicely done.
| darrelodin chapter 9 . 9/27/2013
Despite just how out of character Mewtwo is (Not insta-hating everything? Not just straight up killing Giovanni? Afraid of a crazy prostitue?) I love what you did. Great story, can't wait to read the rest.
| Miner603 chapter 1 . 8/28/2013
Is Brenda's full name Brenda Lee Johnson?
| StarWriterWG chapter 9 . 2/8/2013
Geep. That was...intense. This is the first rated-M fanfiction I've ever read, though really, were it not for the - ahem - language, I think it could have been rated T. Possibly. But maybe that was just me.
Hanyway...I liked it! :D Mewtwo working as a police officer is terrific. I think I'm hooked on the Swords and Shields-verse. Off to read the next one now...
| Guest chapter 9 . 7/8/2012
Good stuff really.
Brenda reminds me of my sweet mother... you know after a life time of hearing curses you're inmune to em, as a matter of fact you don;t even use em.
Thas how overrated they get.
| Guest chapter 4 . 7/8/2012
Yeah a bit late, but I am ambidextrous. Took me 3 years but at least my left hand's writting is doctor-ish now and not kingerharden like .
| Aronim chapter 9 . 6/30/2012
This story is great fun. Without a doubt, you write the best Mewtwo and some of the absolute best pokemon fics. All the other Sword and Shield stories are even better, because in this one you're still getting the hang of the style and characters, while in the later stories, especially the Chosen Fate, your characters have really developed into some really convincing and compelling characters. The characters in this, especially Brenda and her familiy, Mewtwo and Hades and his crew are some of the most interesting characters I have ever had the joy of encountering, especially here on ffnet, where most OC are at best tolerable. I really hope you'll write more Sword 'n Shield some day, so I can finally learn more about Brenda and her past psychic experiences. I'd also love to learn how much of the canon events that your Mewtwo did and I'd love to see Brenda react to the rest of Mewtwo's past, like the hypocritical nature of using cloning and his kinda genocidal period.
And just because I'm weird like that, I'd like to see where Ash is in all this, maybe just a little comment about a tournament. I know the general feel in this story is "Pokemon battles are horrible" and that he doesn't really fit into the universe, but it would still be awesome, especially considering Ash and his friends are some of the few trainers Mewtwo seemed to like.
Just to give you an idea of how much I like these fics: your stories are good enough that I go back to read them from time to time. That is extremely rare, so that's just about the highest compliment a ffnet writer gets.
| AnisoulJ93 chapter 9 . 5/1/2012
The story was quite fun to read. There's another one right? someone else mentioned this story so i was looking for it and im pretty sure i saw a sequal. So now i'm of to read that
| A Very Appreciative Fan chapter 1 . 12/27/2011
I really love all of your stories revolving around Sword and Shield. It is a very unique concept for the Pokemon genre. I wish this was actually a sequel to the Pokemon movie, Mewtwo Returns.
I like the suspense/mystery involved with your stories. I consider this like I do with shows of similar quality, "Bones," and "Psyche" and other crime related stories.
Thank you for writing such well made characters like Brenda, or even more interesting the role which is given for Mewtwo.
I hope you continue more stories like this. :)
| Vivacitii chapter 9 . 7/27/2011
When I clicked on this story, I honestly had no idea what to expect as I'm just recently revisiting the fandom. Well, the short and sweet of it is this: I'm freaking glad I clicked on this story.
Just. Gah. Your writing style is to die for. And Brenda? Shut up. Her character is absolutely genius and possibly one of the most original OCs I've come across in ANY of the genres I've ever traversed through on this site. This is not an exaggeration. And dude, the way you write for Mewtwo is just fabulous.
The sarcasm in this story was golden - as was the name choice of 'Vahan.' 'A vehicle of consciousness?'
| Shinymonkey8 chapter 9 . 3/31/2011
That was really good! You are an epic writer!
Brenda is an amazingly complex character, and you write her well! The mystery of the whole story could have used some work and some more explanation, but overall, it made sense. And I'm sure you'll explain some more in the sequel. Which I can't wait to read!
Good job again, I'm adding this to favorites!

................If Your NOT a Scouser, Your a Glory Hunter...
Theres a few fans on here that are entitled to support their Local team..............damo, rikmac and even herpes....
The rest......................????...some had dads that did, thats probably ok, some are exiled to foreign shores and thats ok too....
....BUT the obvious dweebs on here are pure glory hunters.............sheep following the crowds...WHY DO YOU DO IT.....?
Why dont you support your local team............even if it is Mansfield or Wokingham FC..
about 1% of the posters on here answered a previous thread, about ´´Who goes the Match´´...................how can you be loyal fans with such a big egotistical opinion, when you dont even know how to get to Anfield.....??

I'M A SCOUSER (born in me gramars bed, in the tenies in the dingle) BUT i am also hunting glory, when the mighty reds win I get wrapped up in the glory, when (like last season) we dont, I console myself with the glories of seasons gone by, "an if ya know ya histery" we got more of them than anyone else, oh oh ohh..........
That's right. And if you're not from Jerusalem, you're just trying to cheat your way into heaven.

I always find it funny listening to BITTER Evertonians.
I mean it must be a tough life when your derby team is the most successful English team ever.
It must suck growing up realising you aren't supporting a WINNING team, but a WHINGING one.
I understand why you think all Liverpool fans should be from Liverpool; because no-one outside Liverpool would want to support Everton.
Face it, football has become a global and multicultural sport, the idea that to support a team you must come from the area where the team is based is outmoded and out-dated.
It's like saying to be British you have to be white... supporters can't help where they were born - but can follow a team and be as passionate about it as much as any scouser or anyone else.
I'm not from Liverpool but I support my home town team AND Liverpool; I have done since i was Six, i can't help it, i won't change. Certainly not because some bitter Evertonian chose to support a crap team anyway.

Growing up in Malta, I followed my local football team Hamrun Spartans and I still support them even though we're a bit like Derby or Birmingham.......1 season up 1 season down :)) but, I never changed my opinion about them and I take the season as it comes, be it good or bad. I was mesmerised hearing my older brother and his mates talking about Keegan, Clemence and the rest of the LFC team, so I started supporting them. I don't consider myself a Glory Hunter as I continued supporting them throughout all seasons.
So far, I clocked thousands of miles, just to see my beloved team and this year on Dec15th I'm gonna be at Anfield to watch them vs Man Utd and hopefully again on the 29th of March vs the true Old Enemy.....Everton.
I don't mind you calling foreigners Glory Hunters, it's just stick & stones as deep down I know I'm not, as I stuck with them throughout the years and I'll proudly continue to do so.
..then i'm a glory hunter..my ''first'' coach in my local boys club was from Liverpool..he was brilliant..he supported Liverpool..so being the impressionable 5 year old i was i copied... that was in 1972/3..the rest as they say is history..just think Sean if he'd have been an Evertonian..........

....we werent THAT succesful then..........so you wouldnt have picked them, probably....you glory hunter you,...........at least your honest.
This whole glory hunter thing only bothers people who arent sure whether they are or not.
People always assume if you are a Man Utd fan then you MUST be a glory boy but it really doesnt bother me. I know I am not, and I know other people are. However the comments aren't a slight on me.
Of course Liverpool have glory hunter fans, every top club in the country does. Probably the main reason an Everton fan can come on here and comment - they know they are clear of them.

Its a good point. We all want to support a winning team, but also want to believe we are true supporters to the core. For me its a question of where where you when times were not so bright; can you take the heat from opposing fans when you beat; and can you be constructive in your support staying behind the team, manager and fans, and not blame them for the loss of shine if things don't go the way you want them all the time.
In some ways its much easier to prove your a real supporter if your team is always behind. Maybe the Bluenoses have at least one advantage over us! But, so long as you get behind the team in good times and bad, I've got respect for any real football fan, not matter who you support.

Any chance of turning off the caps lock. Its hurting my head.
First went to Anfield in 1977 when i was 11.........
been a fan since then, and no i dont come from from Liverpool.
My brothers girlfriends family invited me up and i was treated so well.
I go up as and when i can but its so expensive and obviously i have to put my family first. If i was a glory hunter i would have dumped them when they stopped winning the league year in year out.
All teams have glory hunters, i dont class myself as one
Anyone But United Anyone But United Aug 22, 2007 00:35 Flag
what a tw*t of a suggestion....either your a local or a glory hunter!
If that were true, 99% of Mancs are glory hunting tourists. Because most of Manchester hates the pricks, they all go for City!

if your logic was correct we would all support the sunday team that plays in our nearest park fact is big clubs could not survive without us out of towners. the prem is global now and tv money money from shirt sales and other merchandise depends more on this. by this token everton fans like my bro and reds like me who live outside liverpool are as essential to the club as you why take our money then try to make out we are glory hunters when you are sitting in your posh new stadium just remember its the fans that pay to watch it on tv that supply the sky money that built it

let me help....first , BY YOUR logic, if this was correct we would still support the school team, never mind anyone else....
Professional teams, maybe that wasnt so obvious to you.
i couldnt care less about out of towners, ive staed various reasons why this may be OK, in my book...ok lad.
Go and get ya facts right on SKY TV money, most of it is generated form abroad, as ive said a seperate subject-------------
how many scousers support Man UTD.................??

Graduation symbolizes a time when one is looking forward to the future while honoring the hard work and accomplishments that brought them to this point in their lives. During this special time, it's important to commemorate his or her achievements and celebrate their success. By using a collection of old photos from the day they were born and throughout their lifetime, it's easy to honor their life leading up to this significant moment. Use some of those special memories to create graduation photo gifts that will leave your graduate with something to always remember you by, no matter how far life takes them next.
Graduation Ideas
Make a Slideshow for the Graduation Party
Honor and embarrass your graduate by collecting photos from childhood, little league games or dance recitals, and favorite family vacations to create a special slideshow to play at the graduation party. Graduation Slideshows are wonderful presents for the graduate and their entire family to celebrate and remember this special occasion.
Decorate Your Graduate's Dorm Room
Every graduate needs furnishings to decorate their new apartment or dorm room. A digital photo frame or canvas prints are great presents that add a personalized touch to their new home and allows them to think back on their loved ones regularly. They will love taking quick breaks to glance up from their books and reminisce over their favorite memories back home.
Convert Your Graduate's Home Movies To DVD
A graduation is a time when families reflect back on the years past. Convert those old VHS tapes to DVD of your little graduate speaking their first words and taking their first steps. Then post them online, print copies for relatives and make sure that these special memories are protected forever.
Preserve Graduation Mementos
Your graduation diploma is a treasured keepsake and symbol of a one's accomplishments. Graduation invitations, awards, and other graduation mementos are also special items that you want to keep, but they are fragile and risk decay. Digitally preserve these graduation keepsakes to rest assured these treasured items are protected forever!

"It's certainly good to hear from the CEO of a company I purchased from; that's very rare. I have to say that overall, I had a very positive experience with ScanDigital. The process was so simple and being able to track the progress on my order was great; it definitely provided a sense of security. One of my favorite features is that I got a notification when you received my tapes. That put my mind at great ease instead of wondering whether you had received it or not. Within a couple weeks, my order was ready and shipped to me. My family was so excited to receive those DVDs; we watched them all that weekend. My children always love to see the videos of themselves and they were amazed. Thank you for giving us our memories in a very family-friendly, usable way; we are very grateful. I would definitely recommend your service to family & friends because it was such as easy process. Signing up for an account was very simple and I could easily track the progress of my order online which gave tremendous comfort. Best of all was the final product, my family loved it. I had no issues with your pricing options. I liked that it was easy to figure out how much I would have to spend upfront and not have to wait until the DVDs were completed. Keep up the good work. Thank you for taking the time to write."

The Nadas
The Nadas are not a forgotten band from that "the" band explosion from 2000 that featured the likes of The Strokes, The Hives and The Vines. Sure, The Nadas existed back then, and their unique name would have lent itself nicely to that particular scene, but things took a different course for the Des Moines rock quintet. The band grew out of the Iowa college scene, working its way up to being the house band at a local bar and grill. The venerable college scene can bolster a band's career, much as it did for college/alternative music pioneers R.E.M. While those guys have gone on to reach astronomic success, people often don't want to take music recommendations from a 20-year-old frat boy who smokes clove cigarettes and wears flip-flops every day, though bands like The Nadas — equipped with their mellow, folk-inspired tones — permeate any college scene. While that scene gave them their start, The Nadas have grown up and moved past playing house parties for free beer — parlaying what started as a way to pass the time and have fun into a full-fledged career.

- Hi, I'm Bob McGannon and welcome to Rescuing Troubled Projects. During this course, we'll cover the identification of troubled projects, how to determine the root cause of you project troubles, and how you can effectively rescue a project. We'll start by examining the early warning signals and I'll guide you through a step-by-step process for identifying the root cause of your project troubles. Then I'll describe the tools and approaches you could use to rescue your project. As not all projects can or should be rescued, we'll also discuss techniques to determine if your project is salvageable.
We'll next explore techniques for relaunching your project to ensure your project remains healthy after your rescue efforts. Lastly, we will look at approaches to ensure your project does not become troubled again. Rescuing a project takes courage and persistence. Having the right tools and techniques can make the job much easier. So, let's get started with Rescuing Troubled Projects.

I noticed that the C# compiler generates a
ret instruction at the end of
void methods:
.method private hidebysig static void Main(string[] args) cil managed
// method body
L_0030: ret
I've written a compiler for .NET and it works regardless if I emit a
ret statement or not (I've checked the generated IL and it's indeed not in there).
I just wonder: Is
ret on methods returning
void required for anything? It doesn't seem to do anything with the stack, so I believe it's completely unnecessary for
void methods, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows a bit more about the CLR?

Internet worms, which spread in computer networks without human mediation, pose a severe threat to computer systems today. The rate of propagation of worms has been measured to be extremely high and they can infect a large fraction of their potential hosts in a short time. We study two different methods of patch dissemination to combat the spread of worms. We first show that using a fixed number of patch servers performs inadequately against Internet worms. We then show that by exploiting the exponential data dissemination capability of P2P systems, the spread of worms can be halted effectively. We compare the two methods by using fluid models to compute two quantities of interest: the time taken to effectively combat the progress of the worm, and the maximum number of infected hosts. We validate our models using simulations.

Pershing Private equity might be circling the wagons. I guess this is Fred Ex's retirement plan. Maybe he got scared into early retirement by the fear off big losses via IC looming disaster.
I'm sooo disgusted with how this market works! FDX ACTUALLY got a "pop" today because they settled an OVERCHARGE suit from 2011. If this had been UPS, the market would have been all over UPS and painting a doomsday picture. Then we have the the BIG guys and day traders throwing millions of dollars into UPS stock today, only to sell it at the end of the day and reap their rewards. What happened to the good old days when we were a private company??? Where's Jim Kelly????

Water woes are probably not going to go away, so readup on how to best manage water at this new blog.
- Author: Rachael Long
Guest post from Rachael Long, UC Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor, Yolo County
The Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (YCFC) is an agency that supplies water to farmers in northern California. The agency is at the forefront of innovative efforts aimed at banking groundwater by diverting flood waters into their unlined canals. This gives flood waters time to infiltrate soils and recharge groundwater.
Using a water right permit that they recently obtained from California's State Water Resources Control Board, flood waters from recent storms are being captured from Cache Creek as it enters the Sacramento Valley. YCFC recently opened their lateral gates, allowing the flood waters to...
Groundwater wells can fail in many ways. Sometimes the water table sinks below the level of the well. Sometimes minerals cause buildup in well systems. And, sometimes, wells get clogged with lots and lots of microbes.
Microbes can form large, jelly-like mats that lead to well failure from what is known as biofouling. Biofouled wells can be both expensive and technically challenging to repair. There are even times that repair is not possible and replacement is the only option. In Washington State, for example, researchers have encountered well pipes completely clogged by mats of bacteria....
California's Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta region, commonly referred to simply as the Delta, is often described as a unique part of the world. Although it is located between two big urban centers – the greater Sacramento and San Francisco Bay areas – the Delta can feel like another world altogether.
This is something Michelle Leinfelder-Miles, a farm advisor with UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, knows well. She comes from a sixth-generation farming family in San Joaquin County and, after accepting her position several years ago, was happy to return "home"...
The California drought has shined a spotlight on stories of people and communities living without water. Unfortunately, lack of access to clean and affordable water is not a new issue. Water security has been an enduring challenge across the state in wet and dry years alike, particularly for disadvantaged communities. Trying to meet concerns about water availability and affordability with pragmatic action is where things get both complicated and interesting.
One approach that the state has invested a great deal in exploring is known as integrated regional water management. While it is a complex topic, the basic idea is that there are multiple needs for water throughout the...
Street-side stormwater facilities are turning runoff once seen as a nuisance into a resource. Also known as bioretention areas, rain gardens, and bioswales, these small stormwater facilities provide a decentralized approach to alleviating peak stormwater runoff and subsequent flood damages. These are particularly critical functions in cities like San Francisco where the storm and sanitary sewer systems are combined because they help managers to prevent dreaded "combined sewer overflow" events. As a bonus, stormwater facilities have also proved useful in promoting groundwater recharge and filtering pollutants as water percolates through soils.
While street-side facilities are effective in helping to manage...
As fruit gets heavier and heavier on a tree, does the tree use more water? Or is it sensitive to more water stress? It's not clear if there is a difference. We've all seen a lemon tree sigh in relief after the crops been pulled off. And avocado trees last summer that got hit by the Santa Ana seemed to be more affected the more fruit they had. In fact, about two weeks after the wind blew, many trees with a heavy fruit load showed clear signs of salt burn or leaf blight.
Now according to work done on olive, the trees actually need more water to avoid stress. In an Israeli study they measured water use by olive trees with and without fruit and found that there was significant more water use when fruit was present.
This is a lot more than we usually allow for in our irrigation scheduling. Often we don't adjust at all for fruit load. As fruit sizes most growers do recognize this as a period when stress might cause fruit drop and pay more attention to the trees, but may not alter the irrigation cycle.
Fruit have stomata just like leaves do, so they do lose water. Losing too much water leads to flaccid fruit and in the case of avocado easy fruit dehydration and drop. So we know it's a sensitive period, but maybe we need to be irrigating more frequently. That's where soil moisture measuring devices help adjust the schedule. If they are using more water, then irrigate more frequently.
We'll be doing some work over the next few years to verify this. Stay tuned.
At a recent meeting in Modesto covering drought and how it is being dealt with around the world, there was an interesting presentation by some Israeli researchers. They looked at the use of recycled water from sewage treatment plants and the use of desalinated water from the Mediterranean. The recycled water had much of the original mineral nutrients, but had been treated for microorganisms. They wanted to know how much of the nutrients could be accounted in the fertilizer balance applied to apple, pear and nectarine orchards. Their conclusion that after one year, there was a significant contribution and that leaf analysis had not changed, not yields after applying the effluent. This was only for one year, but I could imagine that after many years there would be a significant impact.
They also looked at desal water, and found that the process removed most minerals except for boron. They actually found that plants irrigated with this water ended up with calcium and magnesium deficiencies and more boron toxicity. The reverse osmosis membranes used in this case were not very effective at removing boron. In the case of many waters north of Los Angeles there are often high levels of boron in the water, and using RO water might accentuate the problem.
RO water also is usually too pure and the lack of salt causes soil to deflocculate - lose structure. Yes, you need some salt to have a healthy soil.

LIC Palace Chicken
Oil on panel
6x6 inches
A new addition to my ongoing LIC series. This small study is of a busy corner in LIC, 21st Street and 44th Road. The train station and bus stops converge here and a school is just down the block. The light in the late afternoon is usually quite dramatic and when I took the photograph I used for this painting the sky was a deep shade of slate blue with bright sunshine bathing the orange exterior of the restaurant. Just a corner.

Chocolate Galor in Times Square
Oil on canvas
12x12 inches
A few years ago when cousins were visiting New York, we ended up in the Times Square area more than once. The reflections of the Hershey's Chocolate World store caught my eye and I snapped a photograph. We did stop in and my cousins bought some treats. I thought my photo might make for an interesting painting one day and it finally has.
Growing up there was always a lot of chocolate goodies in my home as my mom had a real sweet tooth. When I visited my grandma in Brooklyn on Saturdays, she always had a box of Hershey's chocolate bars stored in her credenza for me. In high school, I often picked up a box of chocolate covered cherries on my way home. I was a chocolate lover as so many are but I also suffered from migraines. As an adult I learned that chocolate is one of the main triggers for migraines, so sadly, I said good-bye to the sweet stuff and haven't had a bite in years. The headaches subsided as well.
But, chocolate lovers abound and the Hershey's store in Times Square is always crowded and doing a booming business.

My Macy's
Oil on canvas
I was relieved to hear on the radio this morning that a strike at Macy's flagship store on 34th Street and Herald Square had been averted. This is my go to destination whenever I need to shop for clothing and has been for years. Often I go as a "hunter gatherer" as my friend Lois would say, but sometimes with friends for some "retail therapy." It is fun and looking for bargains and using coupons never fails to get me some nice new duds.
This painting is an early one, painted back in 1979. It is the way the main floor looked back then. Soft lighting, crystal chandeliers, floral bouquets, and crowds of shoppers. The crowds haven't disappeared but the main floor went through an extensive renovation not to long ago and is now gleaming, shiny white surfaces with high-end retailers commanding the space. I always head upstairs to the more affordable merchandise and I have to admit that I miss the old look and feel of the store. Glad that some of the original wooden escalators are still in service, a reminder of an older time.
I love this painting and it has been hanging in my home since it was completed. It has never been exhibited, maybe one day it will.

Central Park's Bethesda Fountain (study)
Oil on panel
6x6 inches
This new small painting is a scene in Central Park, where it seems everyone who visits the park gathers at one time or another. An oasis in the heart of bustling Manhattan, the park is indeed one of New York's crown jewels.
On another note, a terrific exhibition of contemporary printmakers is now on view at The Old Print Shop on Lexington Avenue and 30th Street. Lot's of New York City scenes are included. Here is a link to the online exhibit.
One last note, last week-end I attended the Alumni Art Exhibit at Adelphi University, my alma mater. Four of my paintings were selected and were installed nicely in the new performing arts building. I hadn't returned since I graduated many moons ago and there were numerous changes to the campus. Two friends joined me and it was an interesting day spent revisiting old haunts and memories.

On 45th Road in LIC
Continuing my exploration and documentation of LIC, I painted this small study of Long Island City resident Jeffrey and his dog Sarah in front of the brownstone they share on 45th Road. So much of LIC is changing and disappearing that I cherish those older buildings that still remain.
Jeffrey is an artist and gallery owner and I've exhibited my work in his various spaces over the years. I thought this painting would be a nice memento of his time spent living in LIC and he agreed.

LIC Open Studio recap 2016
Last week-end's LIC Arts Festival was hectic and fun. I visited several art installations and artist studios. Really enjoyed discovering the Eleventh Street Arts space featuring work of the Grand Central Atelier. Brought back memories of my time spent at the Art Students League. Sunday's open studio event went well despite the cloudy day and it was nice to see friends and collectors along with some new faces. Sold several paintings and a few of my original pillows. Now it's time to get back to work.

LIC Open Studio, Sunday May 22nd
Machine pieced
Getting the studio ready for an open studio on Sunday, May 22nd from 12-5pm. In addition to my paintings, I will also have a number of original Queens and LIC-themed pillows available.
Oil on canvas
15x30 inches
This scene in this painting has changed dramatically since it was created in 2008. So much of LIC has changed and there is no end in sight. I keep on painting the neighborhood where I've had my studio since 1980 as a way to document what is here today that might be gone tomorrow.
For more information on the LIC Arts Open here is a link.

National Briefing | Rockies: Colorado: Casino Settles Bias Suit
By Steven Greenhouse (NYT)

The casino, about 50 miles west of Denver, will notify all employees that it has no blanket English-only policy, which commission officials say is generally barred by law as discrimination by national origin.
