"Hearing Russians Sing Thru Window As I Write This" Saint Petersburg by jumpingnorman
Saint Petersburg Travel Guide: 3,621 reviews and 7,836 photos
Please don't forget to sign in my GUESTBOOK AND MAP so I know where you ARE! (Escriba/Firma en mi mapa por farvor!)
Arrived today (September 2, 2008) here in Russia and finally in a big room with windows opening out onto famous avenue "Nevsky Prospect" which was fun to walk around in even with a little afternoon drizzle. From my room, I could occassionally hear some guys singing out some marching tune (maybe after vodka?). Things are much more affordable here compared to its Scandinavian neighbours (except for the souvenirs, food very inexpensive). The monuments/churches are right there smack in the middle of the city, everything walkable in a 1.5-2 hour trek which I will try later this week. Spaseebo --- thanks in Russian (but I think my spelling wrong)! "Po-ka" means so long for now (I think)!
My wife and I enjoyed Versailles in Paris, having our pre-school twins run around the grounds and the palace last year. But the fountains here in Peterhof are just unequalled by any other! This a lesser known place than Versailles (love Versailles though which I have visited 3x), but the gardens of Peterhof are just unbelievably lush with trees so geometrically aligned. And this whole imperial palace is right beside the magnificent Gulf of Finland (I think it is the only imperial palace beside a big body of water)! They are forceful powerful jets of water coming out of amazing golden statues and lots of "trick" fountains like the spraying ones my kids enjoy back home. Beware though about the walking because the place is huge (500 acres?) and can tire you out and get you lost.
In WWII, the large Samson Fountain from the 1730's by Mikhail Kozlovsky was looted by the invading Germans and the current replica of the statue was installed in 1947. Samson is shown tearing open the jaws of a lion (the one pictured here is another gilded figure opening a fish mouth), representing Russia's victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War. The lion is part of the Swedish coat of arms and from its mouth shoots a 20-metre-high vertical jet of water, the highest in Peterhof.
I was walking and tired on the main road Nevsky when I stumbled upon a boat ride on the small canal river called Moyki. I rode on it and good I did because it went out all the way to the big River Neva --- and I saw a spectacular sunset on St. Petersburg!

Hope you like this:
- Pros:Magnificent Palaces and Castles left by the Czars/Emperors
- Cons:Expensive souvenirs, probably 99% people can't speak English
- In a nutshell:Masterfully made city, well-planned avenues and river canals

Hi, Norman! It's always great to read and to reread your travel pages! Thanks for your good work and generous sharing your travel experiences!)
Back for another visit to this page! So much to see & do in this great city!! Nice photos!
Hello, Norman! What a splendid trip you've had! Good for you! Congratulations!
Saint Petersburg is a lovely travel spot. All that history and archetiture is fabulous. I enjoyed this page!
Enjoyed your page Norman, swimming would be out for me as I guess the river water would not be warm enough, however disappointing there is pollution in the River.Hopefully we might visit mid 2010.
Just last night my husband said he'd love to visit St Petersburg one day... A great page, Norman!
Thank you Norman for your promotion on VT the city one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and where I had a honor to be born! Glad you liked it!
Don't jump too much in Russia. KBG is still around. I was there when it was Leningrad. Sad then to see the bread lines and no lights on the hotel except for a slot machine. Ah, the decadent West. Right. Trust things are getting better in St. Petersburg.
Don't know why I don't have an urge to visit Russia...Someone has to brainwash me!!!
I love St Petersburg especially St Petershof. ;-)

I started the Purium 10 day Transformation to reboot and cleanse my system, lose a few pounds and get off the slippery slope of non-nutritive carb over consumption.
This is not a product endorsement, it just happens to be the product I selected to do an annual cleanse with and I'm telling it like it is. This particular product (Purium) suggests that you "go public" to inspire success. They claim that you can lose between 5-20 pounds in 10 days.
Day one: I was feeling inspired and was prepared to reap the benefits of leaving my comfort zone, so handled the hunger, feelings of exhaustion and weakness. I needed to keep up my jogging, despite the fact that the cleanse instructions recommend that you don't exercise too much and did a 7.2 mile hilly run which left me feeling awful. The cleanse program consists of starting your day off with water, amino acid pills (containing 8 essential amino acids) and something called a "superlyte" which consists of salt and rooibos tea extract and every two hours you alternate with that and a super green "Power Shake" with loads of water. Three times a day you are allowed to eat something called a "flex food", for example, an organic apple, I/2 an avocado, celery, cucumber or watermelon. The day ends with you taking a "supercleansR" which is a herbal concoction and a night time cherry elixir whh tastes good and seemed to put me to sleep.
Day two: I felt horrible and spent most of the day on the toilet, feeling weak and starving, but I kept it up. Thanks goodness I was put "on call" at work and they didn't need me. I wondered how this could be good for anyone, as I had zero energy. The voice of doubt was loud in my mind and it would have been easy to quit at any given moment but I held onto the thought that "the good stuff happens at the end of your comfort zone", and I had forked out a lot of money on these products. These 2 facts kept me going through this dismal day.
Day three: I had to work, but woke up feeling a lot better and was no longer spending as much time in the bathroom. I had more energy today and started getting into the rhythm of the program. The program sent me a motivational text saying "Amino. Shake. Amino. Shake. which describes perfectly how it goes. So far my choices of food for the day had been the same for the first 3 days, an apple for breakfast, a lettuce, cucumber and 1/2 avocado salad for lunch with my own homemade salad dressing which was my addition to the cleanse: juice of 1/2 lemon, 1tablespoon olive oil and chopped fresh rosemary, oregano and basil from my garden which is delicious, with a little Himalayan salt and ground black pepper added. For supper a huge cup of chopped watermelon.....and yes, I was still hungry!! I even managed a 5 mile run and didn't feel too bad.
Day four: Another busy day including work. Now that I was in the swing of things, I managed to stick to the 2 hourly schedule of water and aminos/shake/water and aminos/shake quite well. I wasn't as hungry as the day before. Today I ate an apple, salad as above and for dinner I had a warm cup of vegetable broth and half a tray of raspberries which tasted oh so delicious. No exercise today.
Day five: Feeling the best yet and not as hungry. My morning flex food was an apple, midday an 18oz bottle of kombucha with chia seeds and for dinner a salad with a difference, including lettuce, cucumber, olives, blackberries and slices of watermelon with same homemade dressing and a cup of vegetable broth. This left me feeling satisfied. I am getting used to drinking so much water. No exercise today. I had lost 2 pounds when I weighed myself this morning. I'm eating more flex foods than they suggest.
Day six: Feeling the same as day 5. Breakfast was again an apple with my water and amino tabs, 2 hours later a green shake, two hours later more water, tabs and a fruit, then a green shake and again I had a lettuce, avocado, cucumber and cherry tomato salad. Cherry concentrate at bedtime.
Day seven: Still hanging in there. I've lost 3 pounds so far. Today I changed it up and had a grapefruit for breakfast with all the other prescribed watery drinks throughout the day as above. Lunch time, I visited a friend and had 1/2 avocado and about 18oz organic greens juiced. Dinner was a salad the same as last night. I got a text from the company saying I could do some light exercise, so I went for a 3 mile jog and felt fine.
Day eight: Can't wait for this fast to be over! Watermelon for breakfast, water, amino tabs, green shake, water, amino tabs, green shake. Kale, spinach, cabbage and sprout stir-fry garnished with cranberries, raisins and pumpkin seeds with avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and orange pepper side salad. I drank a cup of miso soup, which is just like broth on the side. My dinner portion was way bigger than suggested but I was extremely hungry after a hard days work.
Day Nine: This is ending tomorrow evening for Thanksgiving dinner, so I'll try to hold out. Watermelon for breakfast, water, aminos, shake, coconut water and papaya for lunch, aminos, shake, broth for dinner with spinach stir fry, avocado, cherry tomatoes and orange peppers. Went for a six mile trot today......the final countdown approaches.
Day ten: Done. Sum total of 5 pounds lost and combined total of 4 inches

Cape Town's soulful sons and daughters
Known as Africa's Grandest Gathering, this year's 13th annual Cape Town International Jazz Festival will see a myriad of world-class local and international musicians energising the Mother City's night skies with soulful harmonies. This anticipated event draws people from far and wide, all eager to taste its offerings. With the Mother City playing host, it is fitting that some of her offspring are included. Below is a list of some of Cape Town's soulful sons and daughters that will headline at this year's event:
Herbie Tsoaeli
This accomplished electric and acoustic bass player first began his musical career while growing up in Cape Town's East Nyanga township. Herbie has collaborated with well-known artists such as Abudullah Ibrahim, and has played internationally. His latest album, African Time, showcases his remarkable instrumental ability on the bass and his deep vocals. Herbie will offer jazz lovers his passionate compositions at the exclusive Rosies venue at the festival.
Lindiwe Suttle
Lindiwe's solo career was launched in 2009 after her beginnings as the lead singer of an eight-piece musical outfit, The Collective Imagination. Brimming with creativity, Lindiwe offers sultry, soothing sounds that generate a mellow atmosphere of warmth. Her persona and elegance make for great stage presence and a memorable performance.
With tracks such as Taking it Easy already featured on the South African Top 40, this trio has been wowing listeners with fresh, jazzy, electro-swing sounds. Ben Peters, Juliet Harding and Raiven Hansmann make up this terrific trio, playing music sure to get you dancing and grooving. Already boasting both a local and international following, their unique blend of passion, electro beats and jazzy tones is sure to see them rise to the top on merit and not just good luck.
Jean Grae
This talented artist (born in Cape Town and also known as Tshidi Ibrahim), is the daughter of South African pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim. Raised in New York City, and a graduate of the LaGuardia High School of Music, Art and Performing Arts (the setting for the TV show Fame), Jean Grae sets the stage alight with hip-hop tracks that have earned her worldwide acclaim for her rapping ability and edgy lyrics.
Ill Skills
This hip-hop group was launched in 2005 in Guguletu, Cape Town, and has grown in leaps and bounds, with an innovative rapping and energetic stage presence, exploring fresh sounds and always eager to push boundaries. This was evident when they participated in Red Bull's revolutionary 24-hour project that saw them record, mix, master and launch an album in 24 hours. Be sure to see them in action at the Bassline stage at the Jazz Festival on Saturday, March 31.

It is the original function for 12.04, but it does not work in my computer, maybe as I use the compiz config settings manager, so there are some conflicts. What can I do to fix it? There are too many parameters in the CCSM, wish you help.
I suggest to have a look at this question to learn how to reset Compiz' settings.
If you don't want to mess up your Compiz settings in future, use MyUnity instead of CompizConfig Settings Manager. There are less options, but it is safe to use them.
I found that the Unity function to show all windows for an App fails if Chrome is currently showing any notifications (e.g. calendar notifications in the bottom-right of the screen). If I delete all my notifications then the function works correctly.
Hopefully Unity will fix this bug in due course, but in the mean time, closing notifications seems to do the trick at least for me.

This Extension has fewer places for conflict, compared to the Kakkoii Extension Old Location Bar, with certain Themes that alter the placement of the Bookmark This Page button in the URLbar. I therefore recommend this Extension for users of the SpewBoy Themes Strata40 and Stratum Fusion.
getting rid of green thing? Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Not a review, but I don't see where else to ask this.
I love this extension, but I am greedy and would like a way to get rid of the giant green thing in the urlbar that announces the conventional name of a site and takes up 1/3 of the space? I don't see a way to do this, is there? Thanks.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Oldbar works just fine, but after trying it out on one computer while I got used to regular FF3 on another, I decided to go ahead and use FF3 on both, but I can't seem to uninstall oldbar. Help?
easy to use and understand Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works precisely as described, easy to use.
The code is rather simple,
function oldbarStartup(event)
var urlbar = document.getElementById("urlbar");
urlbar.setAttribute("autocompletepopup", "PopupAutoComplete");
window.addEventListener("load", oldbarStartup, false);
Thanks. Keep up the good work.

@jennifer: If your still having this problem, can you email me so I can help you figure out what's going wrong.
My email is> kakkoii at email.com
@Tommy_B & Other people:
I've updated my add-on to work well with the newest version of Firefox.
It will do the same as oldbar, but also has many more options to refine. And the default settings it uses are pretty close to what Firefox 2 used to be.
Once V2.0 is approved you'll have the options menu and no more incompatible messages.
Lastly, I'd like to thank ssptizer for creating this add-on in the first place. Or else I would have probably not created my add-on. Your add-on sparked my interest in trying out XUL coding for Firefox add-ons.
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I also cannot contact the author of this and I'm having problems. When I am running Adblock Plus, oldbar doesn't work. When I disable Adblock Plus, it still doesn't work. But when I uninstall Adblock Plus, Oldbar works fine. I also can't get Old Location Bar (the other program that mimics FF2) to work either, when Adblock Plus is running. So I have a choice; the annoying two-line address bar, or the annoying ads. What a horrid choice. this has only been a problem since roughly FFv3.5.2

Empty Bowls fundraiser helps students in need
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 10:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 10:57 p.m.
More than 200 bowls were available to choose from Monday evening during the fifth annual Empty Bowls event at North Henderson High School.
Photo Galleries
Local artist Meg Bernard threw the basic bowls, and students and members of the community put a personal touch on each.
The school has raised more than $10,000 for the Backpack Program the past five years from the event. The program helps feed students in need over the weekends and during school vacations.
For $10, guests were invited to eat a meal of soup, bread and desserts, and then take home their bowl to remind them of all the empty bowls in the world.

Despite Google and Forum search, I cannot find anything on this, so here goes.
I recently installed WordPress 2.0 here (http://memetic-selection.no-ip.info/) on top of EasyPHP 1.8, on Windows XP, with the wordpress installation in the root document directory (not one level down in 'wordpress'). I must admit I've got a fair number of plugins: RumMovie,Ultimate Tag Warrior,runPHP,Fuzzy Recent Posts,SimpleTags,SRG Clean Archives,and WordPress Database Backup.
Everything seems to be working fine, save I have a really weird problem with editing published posts. I can edit a post, save the changes, VIEW the changes in the Blog, and then later the changes to the post "vanish".
As I write this I remember one other pecularity that might be causing that, although what is causing IT, I don't know: One edit, when I pulled up an previously edited article in the editor (and I'm NOT using the WYSIWYG editor, I'm coding the posts by hand), it DISPLAYED the newer version of the article in the preview frame, but the SOURCE CODE in the editor box is from the ORIGINAL version.
To me it feels like it's a DB problem - COMMITs and ROLLBACKs? That's just a guess, and what would be causing such 'version flutter' I don't know.
I guess, for now, a "workaround" is NOT to edit articles, but 'cut-and-paste' the source code out of an 'old' version, delete it, and create a whole brand new post with the same source code and title, although that won't work if there are any pingback, will it? Fortunatly (?) I'm a brand new blogger - no one is linking to me yet ;)
Thoughts anyone?

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns 24-10 in Pittsburgh today and therefore ended the season at 8-8. A far cry from what many expected this season to be sure. Ben Roethlisberger rebounded from a tough end to the Bengals' game by throwing for less than 200 yards, but tossed three touchdowns and most importantly, he ended the game healthy. Read the timeline of any Steelers' fans' twitter account and you'll see just how disappointed the fan base is that this game was the final one and meant nothing. We are not used to being an absent member of the NFL playoffs and if we are spoiled because of that then so be it. We demand a better product and Mike Tomlin and company know it. The game of football is a fine line between winning and losing and the Steelers' season was a perfect example of that. So many losses by just three points and others where the game was in the balance late. There will be much to discuss this off-season but I'm still reserved the right to think abou...

I heard that Bruce stopped construction on his airplane due to health problems several months ago. He used to sell his books out of the trunk of his car at TWITT meetings in El Cajone. As far as I know he's still a member so the president, Andy Kecskes, would probably be your best bet to find the book (Bruce's books are still advertized in the newsletter) You can get a message to Andy at email@example.com <email@example.com>

Blue skies,
Is there a really good book store here in Europe where all good books can be bought...or do you really have order everything from here and there ? Is there an all around aviation book store in continental United States ?
Glad to help out....

I have this book. Got it from Aircraft Spruce when it was still available.
Assuming that matrix printer quality does not bother you and you value the content more, go get this book while you still can.
Hi, anyone know if these books are still available. It's not available for AS any longer.
I lost/lent out my copy of "personal aircraft drag reduction" somehow. Anyone who knows whether they're still available somewhere or how to contact Bruce Carmichael?
Kennis vermenigvuldig je door het te delen.
(You multiply knowledge by dividing it)
I ordered both of his books (reviewed in the first post of this thread) a few days ago. You will reach Bruce directly if you call the contact number listed in the ESA newsletter.
Instead of having anxiety over the typography and endangered availability, maybe we should approach authors of works such as this and offer to digitize them? A dot-matrix printer is old-school, but optical character recongnition should buzz through it with ease.
If I was selling only a few copies a year and had a chance to go digital and quit stuffing books in my trunk, I'd be willing to take a smaller income per-book, if only to see all my hard work survive.

Mayor Rybak tweets awesome ode to snow emergencies
Contemplating his next poem?
Minneapolis mayor-to-be Betsy Hodges already has to deal with questions about whether she can fill R.T. Rybak's cycling, Trampled by Turtles-loving, crowd-surfing shoes as Cool Mayor. Add to the list: Will Hodges ever refer to herself as "da Maya"?

- RT Rybak declares Limerick Day with a limerick
That's what Rybak did in his latest bout of Twitter poetry. An avid tweeter, the mayor has used line breaks and rhymes in his 140 characters before, but the tweets he composed in response to this week's snow emergency are his most inspired yet.
The poem's first stanza came not long after the city declared a snow emergency on Wednesday afternoon. Rybak wrote:
Snow plows are putting/ Blades to our streets/ Move cars off emergency/ Routes---Toots Sweet
-- Mayor R.T. Rybak (@MayorRTRybak) December 4, 2013
A few hours later, Rybak increased the urgency before tow trucks hit the streets, tweeting his next four stanzas within minutes.
On snow emergency routes:/ Here's your motto/ By nine o'clock tonight/ Please move your auto
-- Mayor R.T. Rybak (@MayorRTRybak) December 5, 2013
Here in Fun City/ Rock out, wine and dine/ But from snow emergency routes/ Move your car by nine
-- Mayor R.T. Rybak (@MayorRTRybak) December 5, 2013
You ain't so groovy/ You ain't no playa/ If you can't move your car/ Without a poem from da Maya
-- Mayor R.T. Rybak (@MayorRTRybak) December 5, 2013
Gonna stop these poems/ I'm giving up the fight/ Cause typing outside/ Gives my fingers frostbite
-- Mayor R.T. Rybak (@MayorRTRybak) December 5, 2013
Later in the night, Rybak offered this coda:
After a long day at work/ I just shoveled my walk/ That snow was so heavy/ I can now barely talk
-- Mayor R.T. Rybak (@MayorRTRybak) December 5, 2013
Rhymes like these can't be contained by the Twitterverse. The next day, Rybak tweeted:
Going on CNN right now to talk about twitter poetry.
-- Mayor R.T. Rybak (@MayorRTRybak) December 5, 2013
When Rybak passes the mayoral torch to Hodges on January 1, he'll take positions as executive director of Generation Next, and as a part-time professor at the U of M (first up on his course list, this spring: a class called "Mayor 101"). Here's hoping that, on the side, he also starts penning a chapbook of Minneapolis poems.

Health & Pregnancy
Supersized Kids, Diminishing Health.
A study released last week by insurance provider CIGNA Corp. found that children now spend an average of 14 hours watching television per week. Children aged 12 to 14 average almost seven hours per week playing video games.
"There has been no shift in the gene pool over the last 20 years, so this has to be an environmental issue," says Still, who is director of the Center for Nutrition and Weight Management at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa.
The trend is affecting far more than the weight of America's children. It is affecting their health. There has been a 10-fold increase in the number of children with type 2 diabetes during the past five years. Once called adult-onset diabetes, type 2 diabetes is linked to obesity and sedentary lifestyle.
"Until recently, type 2 diabetes was rare in kids," Still says. "Now it accounts for 40% to 50% of the diabetes among children." And when it comes to treating children, Still says that doctors are seeing more high blood pressure than have seen in the past -- another weight-related problem.
So what can be done to reverse this trend, and put kids on a healthier path? Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) says the government can do a lot, with more money to beef up vanishing physical education programs in schools and to institute mass media public health campaigns to make people aware of the problem. CSPI is a Washington-based lobbying group that focuses on health and environmental issues.
Jacobson says it would be easy to pay for these initiatives by imposing small taxes on snack foods and soft drinks. About a dozen states now levy such a tax, and they raise $1 billion a year, he says.
There also are legislative efforts in a handful of states aimed at getting soft drink and snack food vending machines out of schools. Such efforts are being challenged by school systems, which generate revenue from the machines.
Still says sodas and other sugary drinks, including fruit juices, have played a huge role in the fattening of the nation's kids. One of the easiest ways to eliminate calories from a diet is to cut out sugary drinks, he says.

- Waaaaay back in the Charlton days, Beetle fought a gang of thugs who were trying to steal from the laboratory where Ted Kord worked. The thugs got away when one of them blindsided him with a piece of furniture. The female scientist in the lab asked if he was all right...
- Kid Devil: FLEE! FLEE FROM THIS PLACE OF GODLESS SCIENCE!
- The first appearance of Traci 13 to the comic.
Jaime: I just wish I could meet a cute girl who'd be okay with all the weird.Traci 13: (teleporting into the room) Are you the Blue Beetle?Paco: (jaw gaping) Say "I wish for a Porsche" before it wears off! Say "I wish for a Porsche" before it wears off!
- Upon being headbutted:
Blue Beetle: AH! That hurt through the armor! What are you packing in there?!Lonar: JUSTICE!Blue Beetle: You have a forehead full of justice? What does that even MEAN?!
- Guy Gardner, uncharacteristically swallowing his pride, comes to Jaime's house to try and apologize. Jaime, understandably freaked out because Guy tried to kill him at their last meeting, blasts Guy and screams for everyone to run. Instead, his mom just marches right into the middle of it and starts lecturing him.
Bianca Reyes (Jaime's mom): Is this how we raised you? If this is how you're going to behave with superpowers, young man, that is not acceptable...(Guy starts to get up, his temper long gone and his ring starting to form weapons. Bianca promptly whirls on him and gives him both barrels as well)Bianca Reyes: Is that a giant green fist?Guy Gardner: (backing up and sweating visibly) Uh... uh... er..Bianca Reyes: Is. That. A. Giant. Green. Fist.Brenda: Always the cool mom...Paco: Wow. She's...Alberto Reyes (Jaime's dad): The reason I never have to raise my voice.
- Eclipso trying to unleash Jaime's Superpowered Evil Side to kill Paco:
Paco: Let's get it done, you purple freak.Eclipso: I'll make it special for you. I am wrath. I am temptation. I deliver to each their own, fitting, perfect destruction.Blue Beetle: 'AGGHHH!Eclipso: I will release Jaime Reyes' deepest, darkest fantasies of ultimate power. You will die at the hand of your dearest friend! Witness the monster within the Blue Beetle!Jaime: I— am— a dentist!Eclipso: Wait. What? What in Neron's name is going on here?Traci 13: Got me.Eclipso: You're the secret power fantasy of a teenager with an alien killing machine at his command?
- That's a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, too. Why does he want to be a dentist? To pay off his parents' mortgage, send Milagro to college, get a vacation home near his grandma's.
- Even funnier is Paco bringing down dentist!Jaime with a 2x4 whack upside the head. "Are we done here?"
- At one point he visits a space research center at the same time as several other schools from around the country. Paco can't stop obsessing over the pretty girls form various private schools that are everywhere, and when Jaime gets into a fight with the Young Justice team they start commenting on how Wonder Girl's outfit doesn't look like a uniform because it's a belly shirt. Paco also insists that the girls on the team who wear skirts and fly should continue to do so.
- When Jaime tells Paco that he's just glad that his life can get back to normal. Cue the next page of Jaime Face Palming and looking at a cow mutilated by aliens.
- In the New 52's issue #9 of Blue Beetle, Blue Beetle encounters Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, Red Lantern Bleez, and Orange Lantern Glomulus in New York City and end up fighting because the Scarab thinks they're enemies. During the fight, Bleez pounces on Blue and pins him down between her legs. The Scarab then gives Blue a heads-up on his vitals:
Scarab: Registering metabolic arousal.Blue Beetle: Stop it Bugsuit, I am not "aroused"!Bleez: (backing off) What did you just say?!Blue Beetle: (covering his crotch) It's just the armor, I swear! Parts of it sorta morph sometimes and...
- In issue #4 of Blue Beetle (New 52), Paco is at a party with his gang, Chuco-Thirteen. Suddenly, supervillains Warp, Phobia, Plasmus, and Silverback show up looking for Paco to interrogate him about the Scarab. Chuco-Thirteen's gangmembers all whip out guns and point them at the supervillains. Except for Paco, who knows what they can do and runs away as fast as he can.
Gangmember: Don't worry Paco, we don't rat out— (realizes Pacos not there) —our own...Paco:(running away) ...*hff*...*hff*...*hff*...
- In issue #2 (New 52), at Brenda's quinceañera, La Dama suggests that Brenda should find a boyfriend.
Brenda: But I'm not interested in any boys I know.La Dama: Oh come on. He looks handsome enough.Brenda: Joey Gonzalez?! I'd rather crap broken glass!La Dama: Well that was ladylike...

The past years, Taake has been more active than ever with tours around the world and a steady live line-up. The fifth studio album, "Noregs Vaapen", saw the band refine their True Norwegian Black Metal sound, but also take a step further and include some new elements. The album is filled with Hoest's trademark riffs, melodies and vocals, but also includes more unpredictable parts more black'n'roll grooves, ice cold mellotrons, and white trash banjo.
The traditional three year wait is over, and Hoest has now completed the sixth Taake album.
"Stridens hus" takes the unique Taake sound and develops it further. Still true to the spirit of the old Norwegian Black Metal, Hoest breathes new life into the genre by introducing different elements that ensure the sound remains fresh and relevant. Some parts are more groove and rock orientated, whilst some have a distinctly punk attitude. However, this is still unmistakably Taake and, as always, we're treated to a varied album with intense, unique and unpredictable dynamics.
Again, Hoest plays all the instruments himself, but this time the Taake live band has contributed to the recording, alongside producer Bjørnar E. Nilsen.
Stridens Hus is set to be released on Dark Essence Records on December 8th 2015.

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--How many times in the past few months have we heard phrases like: "the subprime issue is contained" or "corporate balance sheets are still in great shape" when confronted with fears about the unfolding credit mess? The problems don't seem very contained anymore to the shareholders of large commercial and investment banks who have taken it on the chin the past several weeks and who face considerable uncertainty today. The collective lost market value since mid-June of just eight large banks and brokers - Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER), Bear Stearns Cos. (BSC), Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEH), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and JP Morgan Chase (JPM) - is $120 billion as of Thursday afternoon, equivalent to four times the economy of Bulgaria. Share prices of big banks and brokers had recovered nicely from the initial bout of subprime mortgage jitters earlier this year, soothed in part by good quarterly results, but the recent slump in market values has reignited fears that their most profitable businesses may take a big hit. "Now that we're starting to spiral a bit today, people are getting a lot more nervous," said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. "We don't know what their true exposure is because they reported earnings before this stuff hit." An early bout of weakness following February's swoon was quickly forgotten as problems in the housing and mortgage market seemed unlikely to derail the main profit-drivers of the investment banks. The recent sell-off came in conjunction with the woes at Bear Stearns, which saw two mortgage funds get into trouble and eventually write down their assets to zero. This coincided with increasing nervousness about the health of the private-equity boom and, in the past several days, a concern that banks may get stuck with tens of billions of risky loans used to finance LBOs that they never intended to keep. Reassuring earnings results from large brokers somewhat eased the mood in recent weeks, but the sharp sell-off in their share prices the past few days have made even sanguine investors stand up and take notice. A senior trader at a New York hedge fund said it's unclear who holds what risky assets on their balance sheets and how much of a hit to their value this may mean once illiquid securities are fairly valued. "The issue is one of mark-to-market," he said. In addition to getting stuck with loans that they may have to offload at a loss, Boockvar said that the forward earnings expectations of the investment banks may be a lot lower if the leveraged-buyout boom flounders. "Just look at what the biggest contributors to earnings were - private equity and all the CDO (collateralized debt obligation) packaging," he said. "The whole mortgage business is falling off and the corporate markets are having their worst time since 2002." Responding to questions earlier this year about the impact of the mortgage crisis, New York University economist Nouriel Roubini seemed surprised that the markets were not more concerned about the health of banks and brokers. "They are exposed potentially in dozens of ways," he said. "Financial institutions, in a financial downturn, do particularly poorly." Boockvar, who has been cautious for some time, said it's not surprising to see the big loss of value Thursday. What's surprising to him is how long it took equities in general and the stock prices of banks and brokers in particular to really react to the seizing up of the corporate loan market. "There's knee-jerk carnage going on (in the credit market) and for some reason the stock market has just ignored it for weeks," he said.
There will be NO CASH for private deals and takeovers.It will have to be funded by the banks themselves.Think any bank is gonna want to hold RSH?
Still lots of cash in the world. Consider what is overseas. All you need is one bozo.

This clamp is terrible and I cannot recommend it to anyone. I bought one in person at my local store and used it all of 3 times to hold wood being glued together (in other words: not an application where it has to apply a lot of force). The clamp snapped in half at one of the two 90 degree angles. I looked at the inside of the clamp where it sheered apart and found that it is made out of some kind of pot metal (not steel) which is extremely brittle, not shinny like if you cut into real metal, and isn't even conductive (very high resistance). I figure the manufacturer smelted it by throwing whatever garbage they had laying around in a big melting pot, adding so many impurities that the metal content is very low.

Existing sensor platforms have limited sensitivity, specificity, and portability. With a new algorithm for the coupled dipole approximation of Maxwell's equations, we examine near- and far-field features of electromagnetism (EM) coupled with localized surface plasmons on subwavelength, solid-state nanoparticle (NP) structures measured using spectroscopy, microscopy, and calorimetry. Near-field extinction efficiency, blue/redshifts, and full-width at half-maximum are optimized using a new ¿bottom-up¿ NP assembly method that tunes particle size and spacing to enhance sensitivity and produce molecule-specific ¿tenfold surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy enhancements. Far-field plasmon-photon resonances are identified, which offer ¿ 106-fold higher sensitivity. Solid-state NP structures increase stability, reduce power consumption, and improve response time and optothermal transduction up to tenfold for better portability and throughput relative to aggregation-prone NP suspensions. Sample rate is increased ¿tenfold by inducing transverse hydrodynamic diffusion adjacent to sensor interfaces. These results guide development of next-generation chemical and biological sensors based on EM-coupled UV, Raman, or terahertz modes that improve sensitivity, biospecificity, stability, and portability to distinguish biological molecules and species at high throughputs.
