Life is one big party for event planner Isabel Serranti. Armed with cell and laptop, she's game to field any fete–including her next nearly impossible gig: an impromptu themed party. Five hundred guests? (No problem.) On a country estate? (Lovely!) Near her girlhood home and hosted by her infamous childhood tormentor Simon Monkwell? (Uh-oh. . . .)
Luckily, Simon is away for most of the planning, which leaves Izzy to cope with his kindly, eccentric family and their curious secrets. But when Simon–looking good enough to eat–makes a surprise visit, he's not quite the wretched oaf she remembers. And he needs her help to pull off something daring that requires clever planning, devious imagination, and a lot of panache. Naturally, they'll be working together very, very closely. . . .
"Hilarious and touching."

Chapter One
Ten months later
It is very difficult to hold a conversation with a Viking. It's terribly distracting for one thing, the little horns on top of his helmet are practically quivering with indignation and he keeps tossing his cape in my face.
"I just don't feel as though you're giving me enough to work with. How can one be expected to express oneself with this?" He brandishes his stubby plastic sword in front of my eyes. "How can one's true Nordic inner self be found? Hmmm? Tell me that? And why does Oliver get the pick axe and the hammer and I get this?"
I glance over to Oliver, who is waiting patiently and in a decidedly un-Nordic fashion by the door. Probably hoping for the off. He lights up a cigarette resignedly.
I turn back to the irate Viking and say quietly, "Now, Sean, you know perfectly well that you have a much more important role in the proceedings than Oliver. I just thought that giving him a few more props would help him feel he wasn't being left out." It's plain to everyone except Sean that Oliver couldn't give a toss about being left in or out.
Sean looks slightly mollified. "I can see your point, Izzy. Thank you for being so honest. But I really think . . ." he drops his voice to a whisper ". . . that you should ask Oliver to lose a few pounds. I mean, as a Viking one wouldn't have had a lot of food, would one? A few vegetables and a bit of chicken perhaps. One wouldn't look as if one had just swallowed Delia Smith and all her cookbooks."
"Aahh, but Oliver isn't really your fighting sort of Viking. He's more the bring-up-the-rear sort."
"More pillaging than plundering?"
"That's right."
Sean nods understandingly and even manages to shoot the unsuspecting Oliver a nasty look. He sniffs. "I thought as much."
I pat his arm reassuringly, but before I can plan my escape he adds, "Another petit point, Izzy. I was thinking that you ought to call me something like Arnog from now on."
"I think it will help me project myself into character."
I smile tightly and resist the temptation to look at my watch again. We have been here for over two hours and I know Aidan is waiting to use the room for his own dress rehearsal. Lady Boswell's Nordic Ice Feast is proving more troublesome than first imagined and I've still got weeks of planning to do. "Fine, er, Arnog. Whatever you think is best. Shall we take it from the top?"
I watch through a gap in my fingers as they take their positions. The door gently opens and Aidan sidles in. He looks around for a second, spots me and then tiptoes around the perimeter of the room.
"How's it going?" he whispers to me with a grimace that shows his vote would be "appallingly badly."
"Appallingly badly," I say and grimace back.
"I think it might be the feng shui in here. I've been having bad rehearsals lately too."
The proceedings kick off. Oliver nearly takes Sean's eye out with his pick axe within the first two seconds but whether this is deliberate or not it is hard to tell. All I can say is that the Vikings must have been jolly glad they were wearing those helmets. What is supposed to be a show of natural Nordic exuberance is fast turning into a French farce. Along with the fierce battle cries and sword-wielding there are people falling over bearskin rugs amid sing-song "Sorry, darling!"s, two people have their helmets on backward and Oliver has rugby-tackled Sean, wrestled him to the floor and is trying to suffocate him with his cloak.
Aidan leans over to me. "God, darling, this is more than just feng shui. My rehearsals have never gone this badly. I think you must have a jinx."
"It certainly would seem that way," I say dully, wondering how long Sean can hold his breath for.
"Darling, it's only been a couple of weeks. You're bound to drop a few balls after being dumped. It's only natural."
"Thanks, Aidan. I had managed to forget the state of my love life for a whole two minutes then."
I think Sean has probably suffered enough and so I rush over to rescue him.
Our rehearsal room is situated in the basement of a large Georgian house, which is home to our company. We are one among many identical houses in a square in South Kensington and the only thing that gives us away in all that quiet gentility is a small brass plaque etched with the words "Table Manners." Actually we plan all sorts of things: weddings, product launches, corporate events, drinks parties for twenty, masked balls for four hundred, and at any conceivable venue. My friend and colleague Aidan, the Salvador Dali of the party world, has used wigwams, submarines, stables and even a bed manufacture factory.
I really don't see the point in having another rehearsal so I wearily dismiss everyone and they run screaming from the room as though school has just broken up for summer. I'm glad I have such a moralizing effect on my staff.
I supervise the return of all props to the huge room next door, which is warehouse to our considerable stock of theatrical equipment, glassware, crockery, cutlery, seat covers, tablecloths and napkins and other paraphernalia. Everyone hangs their costumes up on a huge rail that displays the larger-than-life notice: LADY BOSWELL'S NORDIC ICE FEAST.
I start to climb the two flights of stairs toward my desk. On the first landing, Aidan shouts up the stairwell after me, "Don't tell Gerald where I am." Gerald is our formidable MD and has no truck with Aidan's artistic temperament.
"Aidan, he knows where you are. You're on the rehearsal board," I shout back.
"Well, don't let him come down here. I'm not talking to him."
"Fine. I'll try." I sigh and carry on with my journey. The company's reception and offices occupy the top two floors of the building. The ground floor houses our kitchens where all the food gets prepared and then shipped out to the required venue in one of our many refrigerated vans. The chefs can be a little volatile so I try not to venture too near them. I clear the last flight of stairs and arrive in the inner sanctum of the national headquarters of Table Manners where Stephanie, our receptionist, is hard at work.
"Any messages, Stephanie?" I ask, only as a matter of habit rather than in any real hope that she will have actually taken any. Stephanie is a firm disciple of the if-it's-important-they'll-call-back school of thought.
She blows out a stream of smoke and screws up her eyes thoughtfully. We have a strict no-smoking policy and Gerald regularly issues written warnings on the matter. Stephanie types them out with a cigarette hanging from her mouth. But what Stephanie doesn't know about the celebrity world isn't worth knowing. A skill that I have to grudgingly admit is quite useful in our line of work. It is the only reason I can see that Gerald keeps her on.
"Someone did call for you but it didn't sound particularly interesting so I didn't bother writing it down."
"Right. Excellent. Lady Boswell is coming in later so do you think we could possibly avoid a repeat of last time?"
"She's an old tartar," Stephanie says sulkily.
"That may be so but she is a rich old tartar and one of our best clients."
"I hope she catches hypothermia at this ice feast of hers."
"The way things are going that might be a good bet."
Stephanie returns her attention to Woman's Weekly and I make my way to my desk. It's all open plan on the first floor. The place is littered with sample decorations, theatrical props (which should by rights remain in the basement where they belong but Aidan insists we keep them up here for inspiration), a giant stuffed bear called Yogi who is a remnant from a Davy Crockett party, flower arrangements from the last week's functions, sample books of everything from napkins to ribbons, several different sorts of vases and candelabras as well as a couple of the obligatory computers and laptops. Papers and invites spill out on to every surface.
Just as I reach my desk our MD's office door flies open. "ISABEL. IN HERE," he announces through his handheld tannoy, which he insists on using even though I could probably reach over and touch him.
Gerald is a sharp-looking man in his late forties. He has dark hair that is always neatly combed into place and sports a slight paunch. He is our much-vilified managing director and deservedly so, for he is without doubt the rudest, most sarcastic man I have ever met. And I quite like him. He doesn't believe in beating around the bush, he says it's tedious. No "good-morning-how-are-you" stuff for him.
I follow him into his office and shut the door behind me.
"How was the rehearsal?" Gerald demands as I go over to his coffee percolator and pour myself a mug.
"Awful. Sean insisted on swapping all his props with Oliver. Coffee?"
"Please. I need something to get me through this God-awful day. Sean and Oliver will probably end up killing each other. We can only hope. Are you on the Ice Feast all day?"
"Unfortunately. Lady Boswell is in later. It's going to be a very long week."
"Where's Aidan?"
"In the rehearsal room."
"He's going through one of his phases."
I grin. Aidan always goes through one of his phases if he feels some difficult questioning from Gerald coming on. "Has he blown his budget again?" I ask.
"Into orbit. I don't really know why he bothers doing cost projections at all."
Gerald eyes me carefully at this last comment. It's a well-known fact in the company that Aidan wouldn't be caught dead next to a cost projection. I think Gerald correctly suspects I do them all for him. "Nor do I," I say flippantly.
"Every time I question him about the cost he throws one of his fits."
"Ah." This involves Aidan throwing himself down on the nearest piece of furniture and wailing something along the lines of, "Questions, questions. Why must I deal with so many questions?" Occasionally he compares himself to Picasso or Bach in that genius must be given licence to express itself. I love Aidan's fits; he always has a small crowd gathered around him by the end. "I'll deal with him, if you want."
"Do that. Get him to cut down somewhere."
"I'll try. No promises."
"Got over being dumped yet?" he asks bluntly. "You're not exactly a ray of sunshine at the moment."
My relationship with Gerald is not such that I can weep silently on his shoulder for twenty minutes so I simply tell him that I'm fine.
At lunchtime Aidan reappears, sits eagerly on my desk and crosses his Versace-clad legs. Aidan is my best friend here at the office. When I first arrived at the company I was his assistant for a year before I got to plan parties of my own. He's been here for ages and is the most requested organizer in the company. He is, as he often likes to remind us, creative. It is his get-out-of-jail-free card with Gerald. Any slight misdemeanor and it is put down to his creative nature. Aidan has murdered four clients with a party popper and a tablecloth? Oh, that's because he's creative.
"So how are you today?" he asks. "I haven't really seen you to ask." This is accompanied by much face-pulling. You can't have a conversation with Aidan without these facial contortions; you know you've been with him too long when you find yourself incapable of saying a sentence without sucking in your cheeks, rolling your eyes and pushing up imaginary bosoms with one arm.
"Fine!" I say brightly and pull a face back.
"You don't look fine."
I can't keep it from him any longer. "Something happened to me on the Tube," I groan. "Someone thought I was pregnant and offered me their seat."
"Don't you dare laugh, Aidan," I say sharply, seeing him bite his lip hard. "Because it simply is not funny."
"Oh, I'm not laughing, Isabel. I'm merely, em . . . So what did you do?"
"What could I do? Tell them that my slightly swollen stomach is due to an excess of Cornettos since Rob dumped me? I did the only thing I could do. I thanked them very nicely and sat down."
Aidan puts out a comforting hand. "Darling, you know it always goes on your stomach and never on your breasts. Nature is a bitch like that."
"Why couldn't I have simply said that I have put on a few pounds since my boyfriend dumped me? We could have had a nice chat about the pros and cons of the Hay diet versus the Atkins and a jolly time could have been had by all. But no, I was too British about the whole thing. Someone accuses me of being pregnant and I am far too polite to disagree."
"Come on, Izzy. It's only been three weeks. Besides, I think it's very useful to put weight on your stomach. At least it can't sneak up behind you and cunningly slip on your bottom while you're not looking."
"But then people don't think you're pregnant."
"No, they just think you've got a large arse."
"Thanks so much. Why can't I be one of those women who drop four dress sizes when they've been dumped?" I complain.
"Ahhh, ducks, because then you wouldn't be you. I like you being you, apart from the anal cost projections thing of course."
"I just wish I could figure out why Rob dumped me," I say. "We used to have such a marvelous time. Maybe I was too keen, Aidan."
He snorts derisively. "Keen, smeen. Darling, we're not in kindergarten anymore."
"Do you think I should call him and ask?"
"No, no and no," says Aidan. "We have been over this. Anyone who finishes with someone by telephone, and don't forget that he tried to time the call to get your voice mail because he couldn't be bothered to actually speak to you, is simply not worth the time of day. Also, may I point out, leaving a message on your work voice mail is simply the most gutless, horrible thing I have ever heard."
"I know," I whisper, my voice wobbling.
Stephanie wanders over to us with a cigarette in her hand before we can say any more. "Lady Toss-well is here."
"Stephannieee," I hiss, standing up and smoothing down my skirt. "I told you not to call her that. Did you put her in the boardroom?"
"Thanks." I pick up my notebook, take a deep breath and march briskly over to reception, up one flight of stairs and into the boardroom. Lady Boswell is sitting bolt upright on one of the chairs with one hand lying gracefully in her lap and the other on top of the handle of a large umbrella she likes to carry everywhere.

In England though several weeks have passed, event planner Isabel 'Izzy' Serranti has not recovered from being dumped by her boyfriend. That coupled with feeling overweight has left Izzy lacking confidence in her abilities to hold the attention of a man. When she sees her childhood best friend, who inexplicably became her teenage tormentor, financier Simon Monkwell she babbles about food while he apparently fails to recognize her.------ Simon hires Izzy to perform a planner¿s miracle as his family estate Pantiles is in financial trouble, but to save it he must fool potential American investors that all is well. She would like to refuse him, but he is so handsome and debonair while she is oafish, but the reason she agrees is because she inadvertently gave away some Pantiles¿ insider information to her lout of an ex. Thus she hosts a weekend in the English countryside where investors, their wacko families, a tarantula and others interfere with the attraction between Simon and Izzy however it is what caused teenage Simon to turn into a bully that remains between them.----- PARTY GIRL is a warm British chick lit romance starring a likable but unconfident lead female struggling to make a weekend right for the man she loves who she expects will mistreat her as he did when he turned thirteen. Izzy is an interesting protagonist coping with the families of her and Simon, other fractious souls like the help, the demands of the Americans, and SOCIETY GIRLS invited to the gala. Though the support cast at times overwhelms the tale with the baggage they bring to the weekend event, dizzy Izzy makes this a fun often amusing romantic romp.----- Harriet Klausner
This actually made me laugh out loud. It has a touch of P.G. Wodehouse to the story. It's a great romantic comedy.
I couldn't stop laughing for the most part. Really good easy read. Nothing comes as a surprise but it was definitely enjoyable

AbstractDuring the Phase I Program, Aurora Flight Sciences and the University of South Carolina will demonstrate the feasibility of co-curing an integrated antenna assembly within carbon composite structures. As part of this program, a candidate platform will be selected from one of Aurora"s current UASs which will serve as the baseline for the program and provide a commercialization path for conformal antenna technology. The location for placement of the antenna on the UAS will be defined during the program along with materials of construction. In addition, the integrated antenna assembly will be designed and modeled, fabricated and then tested to verify the modeling. An embedded test coupon will be produced that includes the integrated antenna assembly and a representative structural element. BENEFIT: The need for conformal antennas is primarily being driven by the U.S. defense industry for future aircraft development programs. The technology developed as a result of this program would find applications in both military and commercial aircraft applications. Aurora will work to develop this technology and transition any processes or techniques developed during the course of this program to the military and commercial sectors. Application of this technology to Department of Defense programs will help to allow reduced platform weight, increase aircraft performance and provide the aircraft designer with increased design possibilities. Aurora will market the design and manufacturing techniques developed during this program as a tool in the acquisition and development of new aircraft programs in both the military and commercial sectors. It is expected that the early market will include Department of Defense contractors and specifically programs focused on the development of advanced aircraft structures.

Trarr.net uses a heavily modified modified WordPress 1.2.2 as content management system for a webcomic. All pages you see (but for the extra forum of course) are wordpress pages, inclusive the automatical language switching.
I've been working on this page for roughly six months now (on both, code and layout). There's still alot of content I'd like to add, like a contact page, an extra section (for wallpapers and stuff) and the news section on the current page; but the page itself is more or less finished now.
WordPress does surprisingly well as lightweight cms - I'm glad that I have found it. :D
So, what are you guys thinking? :)

I'm using Eclipse & the Scala plugin to write scala code. The editor seems to have limited syntax highlighting options - for example I would like to change the formatting of variables (I like them blue) and method defs.
I know there are a few other highlighter plugins out there like EclipsesColorer, but they all seem to lose features of the Scala (or other langauges) Editor like auto complete and suggestions.
Is there any plugin or way I can modify the scala plugin to get finer control over Scala syntax coloring/formatting options?

I had all my albums working correctly with thumbnails linking to "the single photo in the style of the slideshow". Since upgrading the plugin, none of the thumbnail links work anymore. The thumbnails are still there, but they link to a blank page. The large images don't show in the slideshow anymore either.
I tried to go back to the older version of the plugin but it seems all is broken no matter what.
Please help!

Dear all,
I'm setting up WP v2.0.1 using the "Relaxation v2.0.2beta". Currently I play around with those Blogrolls (Display of Link Categories with Link Lists). I don't know how it is with you but I try in my Setup not to tweak the WP codes (e.g. link.php) and only stick to chnaging the Themes codes. But one little change I had to make as I do not see any other choices: on line 547 (of link.php - find: "Display the category name") I changed the <h2> to <h4> and at the beginning of the line (between "echo '" and "<li id=" I added a "" to separete the different Link Categories with a space line.
Is there no other way in changing the Formating of this "Link Category" other than in link.php?
Any Idea? Many thnaks in advance

I'll be honest, it might not show but working away from my family eats away at me. Especially in the early months of motherhood, it pained me to leave my daughter behind. Now that she is more independent, the burden of my working has shifted slightly from causing me self-inflicted pain, to being verbalized by my daughter who pleads with me not to go to work every morning.

Remembering Ramadan at the Intersection
We've seen her regularly over the last couple of years, standing near the corner of a main intersection, waving a promotional sign for a store in the nearby plaza. She's a familiar face to us now and her hand gestures consistent...high, medium and low. She stands in the brutal Canadian winter cold. She stands in the sweltering heat of the summer.

Chat with Elvis Dumervil
Dumervil has piled up nine sacks in the first two games of 2005, setting a Division I-A record for sacks in consecutive games, and is a major reason the Cardinals are 2-0 heading into this weekend's Big East opener at USF.
Starkey: Elvis recording hits for Cardinals
Buzzmaster (1:32 PM)
Elvis will be with us shortly, so keep the questions coming and we'll get rolling ASAP!
Elvis Dumervil (1:42 PM)
I'm ready to go and looking forward to taking your questoins!
Adam, Louisville
How do you feel about your chances of your team playing for the national championship?
Elvis Dumervil (1:43 PM)
That's our goal but we take it a game at at a time because we have so many great opponents and see how things fall. We're not worried about that yet.
Patrick from Louisville, KY
How has Mike Cassity helped you since his arrival, with your technique for attacking opposing tackles and tight ends?
Elvis Dumervil (1:44 PM)
He does a great job with the game package, but line Coach Wolf has been the biggest help. He's helped me improve my technique overall and it's transltated.
Alan (San Diego, CA via Louisville, KY)
Elvis, awesome start to the season! You have shown a great variety of moves, what do you primarily attribute your personal success to at this point in the season? Thanks much and Go Cards!
Elvis Dumervil (1:45 PM)
Coach Petrino has brought the best out in me, pushing me to do better. He's not ust an offensive coach, you know.
Shane Berea Ky
Who do you pattern your game after? You remind me of Freeney in Indy
Elvis Dumervil (1:46 PM)
Thanks for the compliment. I wear No. 58 because Derrick Thomas is an idol of mine, but as I get older I try to pick up a lot more tips from Freeney and pattern myself after him a little bit.
Brett (Louisville)
Hey Elvis. LOVE watching you play! Do you feel you've taken much more of a leadership role on the defense this year?
Elvis Dumervil (1:47 PM)
I'm a captain and the team depends on me to get people going, and I take that seriously. I'm a little more vocal this year because of that.
Kevin (Louisville, KY)
Elvis, if you had to use 1 word to describe the defense this year, what would it be?
Elvis Dumervil (1:48 PM)
Hungry. We have a bunch of guys who want to go out and get it done.
Ken (Louisville)
After both of the first two games, opposing teams haven't had much good to say about you despite 9 sacks and 4 forced fumbles. Does that bother you, or just motivate you even more to keep it going?
Elvis Dumervil (1:50 PM)
Definitley. But people are expecting more out of me now and I like that. A reporter asked me the other day if two sacks would be a bad game and I thought that was kind of funny.
John: Dallas, TX
How did the Florida schools allow you to go out of state to Louisville?
Elvis Dumervil (1:51 PM)
I wonder the same thing. I was headed to Florida before coach Spurrier went to the pros, but Louisville had a gret scheme and Dwayne White was here at that time, and they had recruited me hard so I took a chance and it's worked out.
Tim (Louisville, KY)
Elvis, I've always wondered if you guys get to pick the music before kickoffs? I would assume that it pumps you guys up. Good luck for the rest of the season and GO CARDS!
Elvis Dumervil (1:52 PM)
We don't have anything to do with that, but whover does it knows how to get us pumped up and we like it.
Donnie Louisville, KY
How do you feel about being considered a candidate in the race for the Heisman as a defensive player? Keep up the awesome job!
Elvis Dumervil (1:53 PM)
It's a great feeling but we've only played week two and we still have to play hard and show people what we can do. We also had Brian Brohm on the list and it was great for Loisville to have two names on there.
zipp (The Ville)
How's the hip??
Elvis Dumervil (1:54 PM)
I'm fine, thanks. I had a little muscle pain but I'm okay. Appreciate the concern, though!
Mitch Massillon,Ohio
As a highschool player how big where you what position did you play, did you expect to be as big as you are now??
Elvis Dumervil (1:56 PM)
I came out of high school at 245 and primarily played defensive end. Most schools wanted to move me to linebacker but Louisville told me I could play end there and that was a big part of me comign there. And that was also the year Freeney went from Syracuse to the pros as a smaller guy so that gave me some motivation. It's all worked out like I thought.
Matty Hundo, The Beans Miami
Whats your brother James and Louis Gachelin up to these days? They still playin ball anywhere?
Elvis Dumervil (1:56 PM)
HAH...Funny, Mom!!
David, Louisville
Elvis, Currently,I notice an unprecedented amount of hype and expectations regarding the team's performance and goal to play for the national championship. Besides never over-looking an opponent, what helps you guys stay grounded and only concentrating on just the game the coming weekend?
Elvis Dumervil (1:58 PM)
It starts with the head man. Coach Petrino does a great job preparing our minds to focus on the right things and not worrying about all that. It all starts there with that man.
BJ (The Ville)
24 sacsks to break the all time single season record. Can you get there?
Elvis Dumervil (1:59 PM)
My goal was 15-plus at the beginning of the year and I'm still shooting for that. I'll just play one week at a time and focus on that and maybe the cards will fall right at the end of the season.
Elvis, do you think being shorter than your "prototypical" DE actually plays in your favor, being able to get under the opponent's pads better for leverage?
Elvis Dumervil (2:00 PM)
Definitley. It helps me a lot. I have the wingspan of someone 6-8, too, so I can use both of those things to give me a good advantage on the rush.
Chris (Memphis)
Elvis, if there was one QB in the nation you would most want a sack on, who would it be?
Elvis Dumervil (2:00 PM)
I guess you have to go with the best in the game, so I'll say USC's Matt Leinart. He's at the top and I would love the opportunity to bring him down.
Jon, Louisville
How much does it help you to play against UofL's offensive line in practice? How much does it help them to play against such a good D-line?
Elvis Dumervil (2:01 PM)
It's great for us. That has helped me a lot this year. Both units complement the other real well. It makes things seem a little easier on game day when you've seen tough players all week in practice.
Danny (Floyds Knobs, IN)
Elvis, what's has been your most memorable experience since becoming a Cardinal?
Elvis Dumervil (2:03 PM)
I'd have to say winning the Liberty Bowl last year and finishing No. 10 in the nation. It was great for us, breaking all the records and being the best team in school history. Seeing the rewards for that season was the best.
Campbell (Charlottesville Va)
Elvis, I've lived in Louisville all my life till this year, big fan, what do you think is the most difficult game remaining on your schedule.
Elvis Dumervil (2:04 PM)
Right now it's South Florida because that's who we play this week. Next week it will be North Carolina. We're only thinking about the upcoming game.
David (ville)
After losing so many players last year, how would you stack up this year's defense with last year's? What are the main differences?
Elvis Dumervil (2:05 PM)
We lost a lot of good players but we also have a lot of guys who got playing time last year and were ready to step in this season. That's one of the strengths of our team.
Damon (Miami, FL)
Who is the best player you ever lined up against?
Elvis Dumervil (2:06 PM)
I'd have to say Travis Leffew, our offensive tackle. I face him every day in practice and he's the best I line up against. That is a huge help for me in preparing for games.
Craig Louisville ky
How hard is it for you to bring Mike Bush down in practice?
Elvis Dumervil (2:07 PM)
You have to bring it all against Mike. He's definitley one of the best backs I've ever played against and you have to bring the A game every time out agaisnt him.
Scott (Louisville)
Do you see the secondary getting better in practice? They played great on Saturday, although part of that is how good the G-Unit played.
Elvis Dumervil (2:08 PM)
Yes, They did a great job against OSU and most of the sacks I got were because of great coverage that caused the QB to pump fake a lot. They're definitley getting better every week.
Elvis Dumervil (2:09 PM)
Thanks for the questions everyone! I enjoyed it. GO CARDS!!

"The delicious Armenian Food!" Top 5 Page for this destination Yerevan Restaurant Tip by Narunj
Yerevan Restaurants: 36 reviews and 57 photos
The Armenian kitchen is close to European. Different kinds of cheese, bread, alcohol and soft drinks and other widespread foods are available. While in Armenia, make sure to taste the Armenian khorovats, harisa, tanapur, tolma, and the trout of Lake sevan. They are delicious!
There are a lot of restaurants, snack-bars and cafes, offering both traditional and European meals. Costs vary, but generally eating-out is affordable and much cheaper than in the Western Countries. Service is usually included in the prices though it is customary to tip 5%-10%.
Yerevan has a good selection of restaurants offering Middle Eastern, Asian and European cuisine.

Re: Discover APR Reduction UPDATE
vsweetee1 wrote:
So I've been working on my credit for the last 3 years and have made great progress! Thank you "My Fico" I applied for Discover last year at the end of July and was approved with a $1500 cl and APR of 20.99%. At the time I applied there was a 12 month 0% promotion as well. This is also the last cc I've applied for and I have been in the garden since. So anyway I've never received an auto cli and I waited till August to call and ask for an APR reduction as I have high utilization and figured they wouldn't do a limit increase. The agent I spoke with said she could NOT reduce my APR w/o pulling my credit report but that she could extend my 0% promotion for another year. I took it! Well got my statement today and the APR was changed to 15.99%, I panicked and thought they didn't honor the 0% so I called. Well the agent said yes I am getting the 0% promotion till next Oct (2013) and that the APR was changed October 1st from 20.99 to 15.99%. Woo Hoo! It may still seem high but its certainly better than 20.99%. I just wanted to give back to my fico by sharing my story! Good luck my fico comrades and there is hope, it just takes time and patience but the results get better eventually.
Went to do some online shopping thru shop Discover for the extra 2% and my account said this! I immediately logged out and logged back in and it said the same thing! I then restarted my computer to be sure there wasn't a glitch of some kind and nope still had the same info! Auto cli! Unbelievable!
|Current Balance
|Last Statement Balance
|Minimum Payment Due 11/01
|$ 40.00
|Credit Line Available
|$ 6,894.00
|Credit Line

This is the info from my statement yesterday:

Credit Line $ 1,500.00
Credit Line Available $ 894.00

Do you think Discover realizes they did this for me??? I'm sure not calling to confirm, why ask the devil to dance? BTW if they did this based on Transunion then that's my best report with no baddies, no inquiries, high utilization on 2 NFCU cards (50%) and a Fico of 725 according to WM.

Hundreds of people are flocking to Wyomissing this weekend for a tattoo festival.
But, in the midst of the fun, the FDA is warning visitors to be on high alert after it discovered bacterial contamination in some unopened ink bottles.
The Crowne Plaza is buzzing this weekend as hundreds of people come out to get inked.
"We have some of the best top notch artists in the world," said Joe Johns, co-producer of the festival.
The Pagoda City Tattoo Fest has artists from across the world from Miami to China.
It is drawing people from all over Pennsylvania, like Lisa Zimmerman from Allentown, who has been looking forward to getting a tattooed by a New Zealand artists since January.
"She moved to the United States about two months ago. So I wanted to get tattooed by her because her work is absolutely gorgeous," said Lisa Zimmerman of Allentown.
But the FDA says beware. It recently confirmed bacterial contamination in some at home tattoo kits and say it is very easy to pick up an infection.
Make sure you are getting inked in a clean environment because the FDA warns you could get an infection now or years later.
Signs of an infection include redness, swelling, weeping wounds, blemishes or excessive pain at the site. If left untreated, the infection could spread through the bloodstream.
But event organizers say they are policing the festival and trust the artists there.
"They are pretty much handling everything on their own and doing everything that they need to because we know they are already on that level of professionalism and cleanliness and sterility," said Justin Weatherholtz, co-producer of the festival.
The festival continues through Sunday and they are expecting a few thousand to attend.
"The response has been great. I have seen people in their 80s getting tattooed and I have seen people in their 20s getting tattooed," said Johns.
"See the talent that is around here. Tattoos are not what they used to be anymore. It is artwork," said Emily Reedy.

Arts Re: Starbooks
posted by March 2 at 10:31 AMon
I went to college with Ishmael Beah, the former boy soldier of Sierra Leone, whose memoir A Long Way Gone is distributed in virtually every Starbucks. In college, I admired his soft-spoken manner and wide smile. It was a fairly standard admiration, of running in similar circles, but was never closer than a shared lunch table. I now know his public persona better than I ever knew the real Ishmael, and before his book I didn't know anything of his past of lost family, narcotic-fueled battles, or UNICEF rehabilitation.
On February 20th, Ishmael started his Starbucks book tour at the U-Village Starbucks. The cafe could not hold the crowd, but was nonetheless ready with advertising samples of brownies and some new Cinnamon-latte-dulce-de-something, which I sipped while Ishmael answered questions about the healing power of hope or how we can stop all wars. He did not have such broad answers, but was focused on his activism of building awareness of child soldiering and the incremental steps that must be taken to stop the practice. The book and its distribution seem to be just one step in his process that goes beyond lofty discussions of world peace. As he does this tour, he continues to speak at UN conferences and has just launched the Ishmael Beah Foundation, a resource for activism to end child soldiering.
I do wonder where Starbucks fits inI am a Starbucks cynicthough perhaps Ishmael is not. Obviously, there are tons of people who adore Starbucks, but I don't like their smell or the noise their chairs make on the tile floor. At worst, I don't like their corporate packaging of a co-opted homogeneous lifestyle. Are they using Ishmael? Is he using them? Maybe on the spectrum of sacrifices he has made, the cooption of his story to millions of happy Starbucks customers, to help save others, is not the worst thing. But in exposure and promotion, is there a line to cross? Is this story from Playboy the line and what does Armani have to do with any of this?

Must Reads
LIVE: Can You Dig It? Introducing NPR's Official AntCam
We've written about the Decorah Eagle Cam and about the Jewel bear cam.
Well, we've decided to give back to the Internet and today we launched NPR's Official AntCam:
The ant farm is at NPR's Washington headquarters — on the third-floor News Desk, if you must know — and it was very generously provided by NPR's Homepage Editor Laurel Dalrymple, who hasn't had much luck keeping these poor insects alive at her own home.
But the truth is: We all just found this farm mesmerizing. It's lit by LED lights and instead of sand the ants are working to build a colony using a blue gel full of amino acids, sugars and fungicides to keep the ants alive.
That gel was developed by a group of Syracuse students and researchers at the University of Colorado working on a NASA experiment. It allowed the ants to dig and survive in a zero-gravity environment. National Geographic explains that after 19 delays, the experiment finally launched on-board the doomed Shuttle Columbia.
After the disaster, NatGeo followed up saying the students didn't give up.
If all goes as planned, the 60 harvester ants — all female — will create something unique and beautiful before long. We'll leave the cam up and let you monitor the progress along with us.
Update at 8 a.m. ET, April 30: As you can see from this photo, we're a very high-tech operation. The camera is taped to a stack of books. The ant farm is taped to ledge of an editor's cubicle.
Update at 5:51 p.m. ET. When They Started:
The ants, by the way, were put into the farm at around 1 p.m. ET.

Rumor: Lionhead to announce "something" at GamesCom
It is being reported that Lionhead's set to make an announcement at GamesCom in Cologne.
The news comes from German site Gamefront, which claims Peter Molyneux will front the Microsoft press conference at the event.
Molyneux was confirmed for earlier in the month as a keynote speaker, but this is the first we have heard that he will head the Microsoft presser, scheduled for August 19 from 10-11 am.
We have sent an email off to Lionhead for confirmation. In the meantime, hit the links for more.

Blanche Buerig was a long-time resident of Nassau Gardens in Norwood where she was an avid reader and a frequent patron of the Morrill Memorial Library. She came to the United States from Poland at age 5 with her family and grew up in Brighton, eventually married and raised her two daughters. She took care of her elderly mother until her mother's death at age 108. Blanche enjoyed sewing, knitting, bowling, and most of all reading.
When Mrs. Buerig passed away this year, her family felt it only appropriate that a gift be given in her name to the Morrill Memorial Library. Her daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Bob Gad purchased a chair in her honor. That chair is affixed with a plaque in memory of Mrs. Buerig.
Karen Gad, her husband, Bob, and Mrs. Buerig's nephew, Stephen Vail and his wife Linda, visited the library this summer to tour the Morrill Memorial Library and view the chair that is placed in the Cushing Reading Room of the library.

The One and Only Barbecued Brisket
Total Time
Prep 24 mins
Cook 14 hrs
Anyone can master a "real" barbecued brisket. I think that beef brisket was the reason the barbecue process was invented. We have some great BBQ joints in Texas and I think this recipe is as good as any of them. Cook time is for 1 1/4 hours per pound of a 12 lb. brisket.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3628.73-5443.10 g packer-trimmed beef brisket
- 473.18 ml lone star dry rub seasonings (see Lone Star Dry Rub)
- The day before serving pat the dry rub into every pore on the brisket and place in a large bag, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap, to marinate overnight.
- Early in the morning take brisket out of refrigerator and bring to room temperature while you start your fire and heat to 210ºF.
- Place brisket on opposite side from the firebox with the fat side up, so juices will help baste the meat.
- Maintain pit temperature between 180º and 220º and smoke 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours per pound.
- Every hour or so, if you have to use mop sauce you may do so.
- (The fat is going to keep the meat moist.) Remove brisket and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Cut the fatty top section away from the top section and the second section.
- Slice both brisket sections across the grain.
- Serve the barbeque sauce on the side, not on the meat.
Most Helpful
This recipe was great, and a classic smoked brisket. Be sure to go with the "Lone Star Rub", it's all in the rub.
this was a great recipe i tried it today and it could not have been any better this was the first brisket that my wife and i smoked and this recipe was very tasty and helpful for two novice smokers thanks
This recipe is all about the rub. I had never used a rub before and now I'm hooked. I try to leave the brisket in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours and a fresh trash bag is priceless. I have a thermostat controlled smoker and cook mine for 1 hour per pound @ 210f degrees fat side up and no more than 8 ounces of wood. Wood smoke facts: Strongest = Mesquite, then Hickory, then Pecan. I use hickory or pecan since mesquite can overwelm the balance of flavor. Thanks Miss Annie

Paradise Farms is a working organic, fruit, and edible flower farm. We had an absolutely great stay. Highlights included sampling fresh ripe starfruit from the trees and arugula right from the vegetable bed (it was past avocado time and mangos were just blooming...at different times of year, you'd have that instead) and drinking wine with fellow guests in the garden pavilion late into the night. Charming owner. Breakfast in the garden by the pool under the trees. A ton more memorable than chain hotels and motels, which is what you'll otherwise find in the area.
However, don't come here with wrong expectations. This is not a fancy boutique hotel. The two less expensive rooms are smack dab in the middle of the land. They're not large. And you either use a composting toilet or walk across the farm - with a flashlight - to the office to use the full bathroom. Entertainment is sitting outside under the stars (there is wifi).
If - like us - you're perfectly happy to camp while travelling, just didn't feel like schlepping your camping gear down from wherever you came from, and want to really experience outdoor and rural Florida, it's a wonderful place and one you'll remember. If you're looking for Miami Beach on the cheap, or a no-surprises anonymous hotel/motel room, this ain't it (though the more expensive room in the lower level of the house is less camping-like).

Anyone seeking proof that Dale Jarrett's No. 88 Ford team has turned the corner on its rebuilding efforts and begun to stack the bricks toward contention can look in two places: The team's ranking and, more importantly, its attitude.
Not only is Jarrett currently 10 spots better than last year's 20th-place finish, but the team is disappointed in its efforts so far and eager to show what it can really do.
"We haven't had our best efforts yet, so we feel good about where we are right now," said Jarrett, who qualified 34th for Sunday's Subway Fresh 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. "We'll go to work this week and see if we can make some gains."
With seven races down, Jarrett's 10th-place points ranking is his best at this point in the season since 2001. After the 2001 season, the 88 team began a steady decline as the wheels came off the once-stout organization and a multitude of hasty personnel and strategic decisions buried the team.
But Jarrett doesn't feel a sense of relief one would expect from being back to his old form. He and his team owner, Robert Yates, are aware that a large reason for the team's resurgence has been an abundance of the good luck that had once abandoned them. Outside of that, Yates says what he sees most in the 88 team is room for improvement.
"I think we've been lucky because we haven't really raced that well," Yates said. "We don't feel like we're as good as we're capable of being. We're capable of being better and it's not that anyone is dropping the ball, I think we've painted ourselves in less than the best equipment. So we've got three major targets that we're going after and hopefully that will bring us back to where we race in the top 10 instead of luck our way into it."
Yates said the team is fucusing on understanding the tires, aerodynamics and altitudes better. He hopes the result will be a stable of rigs under the roof of the 88 shop that are worthy of the team's lofty ranking -- and capable of taking it even higher.
"We know that we look way different than more successful cars out there, but I'm very confident that we're going to improve," Yates said.
As far as Jarrett is concerned, the fact that the team is running off of luck and working toward skill is a good thing.
"We are in the top 10 in the points and that's good, but we're going to have to step up our program ... if we want to stay there," Jarrett said. "We're in the top 10 and working to stay there rather than sitting outside the top 10 and trying to get in, so that part is good. But we have some work to do if we want to stay there."
In that spirit, the team has increased its efforts in the shop and during testing sessions. The team will head to Kentucky to test its packages for intermediate tracks where aerodynamics play a larger role.
"We've got a test scheduled at Kentucky and hopefully we can get some aero stuff figured out," Jarrett said. "Then we'll go to Phoenix and see if we can get this car consistently finishing in the top 10."

Plot details are unknown at this time, but the film is part of Warner Bros.' DC cinematic universe and will serve as the solo vehicle for the Green Lantern character, following his presumed appearances in the two Justice League films. This project does not have any connection to the 2011 Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds and will be a reboot with a new actor in the role. Artwork is from the 2011 film.

text: Does anybody know if 1.6 is going to have integrated photoblogging functionality? I have been working on a Gallery Manager plugin for some time now (complete with admin pages and theme API), so I'm curious. If it does, I can just scrap it and wait for the new version. Please let me know, there's no point in going on if nobody's going to use it.

Any reason why the image pager might not work?
When the &page= is added manually nothing happens, unless I enclose the album title in 'quotes'
http:// ourlocality. org/demo/picasa/2/?album_id=5769101359140067009&albumName=%27Artisan%20Bread%20-%20The%20Bakery%20Dunbar%27&page=2
Also, show_albums='etc' will not work either and spits out an empty grid

Any ideas?
I notice others confused by the two different shortcodes: one for the placeholder page to show album images (but blank when viewed directly) and another to display albums ... maybe this could be a tiny bit clearer for those of us that operate on autopilot.

Are you a recruitment agency interested in working with Delcam? – If so, please read on...
Please note that Delcam only recruits permanent staff and does not have vacancies for contract staff.
We maintain a Preferred Supplier List (PSL) of agencies for all recruitment within the UK. Agencies on our PSL have agreed terms and conditions with us, and understand the types of candidate we are looking for in different areas of our business.We do not accept unsolicited CV's or applications from recruitment agencies and/or search firms and we will not pay fees to any such organisations unless they are on our PSL.
We do review our PSL from time to time. If you are interested in being considered in a future review please email your details to us at: email@example.com. Please don't try to advance your case by contacting individuals directly: bypassing our procedures makes it harder for us to ensure your details are recorded and devalues your claims of wanting to work with us.
Thank you for your interest in Delcam Ltd.
