lebasi1your totally right. .
bra girl and rain is starting to piss me off how he is always running to her without thinking about his wife's feelings and always standing her up. The bra girl only is using him because she knows how he feels and the other guy wants nothing to do with her. She has no respect or morals to be doing that with a guy who is married.
I'm getting tired of shows where the guy can do and say what he wants to a girl and she STILL falls for him and does nothing to get back at him. I'm not finishing this, I can see where it's going. How lame.

Perhaps the most concise way to summarize Michael Feinstein's work over nearly 30 years as a prominent keeper of the flame for the Great American Songbook is to say that the Great American song title that least applies to him might be Duke Ellington and Bob Russell's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore."
Feinstein, 57, came to L.A. from his native Ohio in the 1970s to sing and play in piano bars, immersed himself in the art and lore of his musical calling as an assistant to Ira Gershwin and has gone on to champion his favored song form in all venues at hand, including co-proprietorship of Feinstein's concert nightclub in L.A., Feinstein's at the Nikko in San Francisco and a nonprofit foundation based near Indianapolis.
He also has branched out into composing for musicals, and he hopes his first attempt, "The Gold Room," based on the life of heiress Barbara Hutton, will land a production in England, where his collaborator, lyricist-librettist Warner Brown, is based. And last summer, Feinstein leaped into leading an orchestra for the first time, as principal conductor of the Pasadena Pops. His first season drew big crowds, and the second season opened earlier this month with a concert titled "Feinstein's Favorites" at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia.
Here are excerpts from a conversation with Feinstein:
Q What have you been doing to sharpen your conducting skills?
A It's just been an immersion process, where every day I do some work, (whether) it's studying a score or flailing my arms while standing in front of a mirror, whatever it takes. I've always made music without formal musical education, and some people might say, 'Well, that's evident.' But (conducting) requires a great musical knowledge and skill that I'm gaining in small increments. The exciting part is connecting the dots, learning how to physically conduct something and make it sound as I feel it in my body.
Q Did you get along with the Arboretum's flock of peacocks, which are known to be quite vocal during Pops concerts?
A Yes, they are vocal. One night I was onstage, and they started their caterwauling. Sometimes, the cadence of their cry sounds like they're saying, "Schmuck! Schmuck!" The only rejoinder was, "Well, everyone's a critic." But being an animal lover and a vegan, I don't mind them at all. I love that they're there.
Q Has keeping the standards alive been helped by shows such as "American Idol" and "Glee" and albums of standards by pop stars?
A I may not always like the interpretation, but the exposure is great, and in that way it's always wonderful. Clearly there are many people who love those recordings. And hopefully, it will lead them to the more sublime and more lasting interpretations.
Q Do you think any singers coming from rock and contemporary pop have done standards well?
A I thought Linda Ronstadt was so canny to work with Nelson Riddle. She wanted to do something authentic, and she had the sensibility of going to the greatest arranger of American popular music. I think k.d. lang has a natural affinity for singing standards. I was delighted a couple of years ago to watch Lady Gaga sing "Someone to Watch Over Me" on the "Today" show.
Q Now that you're composing for musicals, are you sensitive to the common complaint that contemporary Broadway shows seldom, if ever, send the audience home humming the songs?
A Melody is the key to creating something that is lasting. The problem for me with a lot of contemporary Broadway is that the songs are not particularly well-crafted, in that they do not further the plot. They're often brilliantly staged, but the songs themselves are not very well done. A classic show like "Gypsy" or "My Fair Lady" or "Guys and Dolls" -- when a character sings something, it creates a moment that transports the audience emotionally to another place. As much as I adore Elton John as a great pop writer, I don't think that "Billy Elliot" has a very good score, because it doesn't accomplish the essential thing that is required in a musical. To me, that is the greatest problem with Broadway, so I'd like to take a crack at it.
Q How far along are you with the museum in Indiana?
A The organization, which we now call the Great American Songbook Foundation, has a marvelous archive that's ever-growing, with a world-class collection of sheet music. We are in Carmel, Indiana, because we were approached by the city. At first I thought, "Why would I want to go to Carmel, Indiana?" Then I saw the facility and the promise of support that has indeed materialized. The museum is still in the formative stages, but the great thing is that I know it will happen. Kids from 30 states compete in the annual singing competition, and in the next three years, we'll be in all 50 states.
I call it the "Anti-American Idol." Not all kids listen to pop music, and not all kids are interested only in hearing histrionics and a big high note at the end. There are many thousands of kids out there who have a different sensibility and experience with music, and we've had the experience of discovering these young talents and nurturing them, and it's the most thrilling part of what the organization accomplishes.

Championship Message Board
look where NEIL's team are now?? with our trusted keeper, and look where we are after 2.5 seasons after he left?
WE NEED ANOTHER WARNOCK OR HARRY BASSETT NOW!! to save us from joining the other team in sheffield lower down the leagueSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
That was the thinking behind hiring Adams, another passionate Blade pulling the strings. Sadly it isn't working. I don't think it's Adams' fault though, I think it's a pretty lousy team coupled with whatever training methods are being applied that injure everyone. Never in my life have I seen the type of injury list we've had the last 3 years. Most of the squad each week are pieced together from loans or players playing out of position and simply not being good enough there. Since Beattie left there's been nobody to fill the goal scoring gap on a consistent basis. Nobody has replaced Kenny. The defence is either injured or pieced together awefully. There simply aren't enough quality players in the squad.

As a Cardiff fan I would love to see Warnock incharge of Cardiff, I think that all his sides are hard to beat he installs passion in his team and always has a good defence which is what we lack this season and last just look at what he did at Sheffield he was robbed of a place in the prem by the mancs playing a wrong player but nothing was done about it in my opinion. As for Blackwell and Sheffield I hope he stays there as easy 3 points lol.

Liverpool Message Board
The truth about LFC's spending
I've been reading these kinds of comments on here for a while now and it set me thinking what the truth of the matter actually was:
LFC Sofa Supporter: "Rafa is in his 3rd yr and doesn't have nowhere the funds SAF has so if we get 2nd spot that'll make me proud."
jk80jk: "joke in the transfer market?
Give him the sort of money Ferguson has had and I think you'll find if he could get the players he actually wants he'll be fine....
Other than Torres we haven't been able to compete with the likes of man utd and Chelsea in the transfer market... simple as that mate..."
So here are the spending records of both Liverpool and Manchester United since the begining of the Benitez era:
27/5/04 Alan Smith £7m
11/6/04 Gabriel Heinze £6.9m
31/8/04 Wayne Rooney £29m
Total spent: £42.9m
26/5/04 Danny Pugh £1m
29/7/04 Nicky Butt £2.5m
20/8/04 Diego Forlan £2m
31/1/05 Eric Djemba-Djemba £1.35m

United sell players to fund transfers every season, as do all other clubs. When we got van Nistelrooy, we lost Beckham, when we got Carrick, we lost van Nistelrooy, etc. Both clubs sold £33.2m worth of players to fund their transfers this season. United also usually sign players on performance related deals so they rarely pay the full quoted price up-front. This season Anderson & Nani were signed on such deals with about half of the full prices being paid up-front. Wayne Rooney was signed on a similar deal. The only player we payed a full fee of about £18m for this season was Hargreaves.
Didn't really work so far though, did it? You've been spending money to "catch up with United" since 1993 and only finished higher than us in one season, under the leadership of a manager who is constantly derided on this board, despite getting better results than any other LFC manager in the past two decades.

We spent £70m to catch up with Man Utd ..
LFC_Armchair_Supporter LFC_Armchair_Supporter Apr 19, 2008 21:09 Flag
Well we couldn't afford to buy 2 - 3 players of the £18m price bracket in one season like Man Utd can !! Season after season not without selling players first....
If you are "no where near as rich as Man Utd" how come you've spent more money than us?
And for the record, United have never paid out for "4 players around the £20m price bracket", never mind doing it with "relative ease".
In fact, it's these baseless arguments and popular myths that I've been attempting to dismiss with this thread.
The most United have ever spent in one season was £57m in the summer we bought Van Nistelrooy, Veron, Forlan, Carroll and Steele. That figure has been easily eclipsed by the £70m LFC have spent this season.
In fact, Since the begining of the Premier League, Liverpool (with "relative ease") have spent more than United in each of the following seasons: 1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95, 1995/96, 1997/98, 1999/2000, 2000/01, 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08

The fact is Tim LFC are no where near as rich as Man Utd... we could'n't afford 4 players around the £20m price bracket like Man Utd can with relative ease..
As a United fan, I know exactly what you mean. I'd like to see Rafa stay for a few more years too. I just hope you stop "making your own luck" as well!
A Yahoo! User Apr 18, 2008 01:26 Flag
Rafa wouldn't have had as much money because the club wouldn't have had as much money, since they made a fortune from winning the trophy. You make your own luck in life I always say that.
What I do find very odd about alot of rival fans (not including yourself) is this, why do so many other fans spend so much time trying to convince us to get rid of Rafa? We have some false ID's like Jose Pombal and Paisley_Shanks trying to concvince us to turn on him. That is weird, if United had a sh*t manager I wouldn't create a fake ID trying to turn the fans against him. I would genuinely hope he stayed.
I think Rafa would have been given the time and I think he's worth it he's a manger I like and rate highly. Our club is very patient with the managers, just look at Houllier, he should have been out of a job for over 18 months before our useless board finally got round to sacking him.

Yellen: Regulators 'Will Look At' Volcker Rule's Impact on CLO Market
WASHINGTON — U.S. regulators will review the Volcker rule's impact on a major market for loans to U.S. companies, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said on Tuesday.
Ms. Yellen said regulators "will look at" the rule's effect on collateralized loan obligations as they continue to discuss implementation of the rule. She said a decision about whether to exempt some CLOs from the rule could come "reasonably soon," though she declined to offer a specific timeline in response to questions from Rep. Spencer Bachus (R., Ala.) at a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee.
Some banks that hold CLOs have been pushing regulators to allow them to continue to do so despite the Volcker rule's ban on certain types of trading. The rule was adopted in December and takes effect in 2015. Ms. Yellen's comments echoed those of other regulators who have said the issue is under review.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 3.8 in 5 reviews
This is a fun little game that can be simple enough for non-gamers (very little to explain) and yet there is some strategy underneath that needs to be found which will keep the gamers there.
You basically have 3 races, before each race you bid for poll position. After you get your cards and your car you go. Each card will move several of the cars at teh same time so you have to think, are those 3 spaces I will gain worth pushing my opponent over the finish line?
I really enjoy this game. The re-play has been great so far.
This is a well done game. The components are a nice fit. The double-sided, mounted board works great. The little plastic cars are decent. The card quality is good. The rules are tight. There is even some play money to toss around. The game itself has an auction element, a race element, and card play--all nicely integrated.
The one caveat is this: players can be spoilers in this game. When a player's car(s) finish the race, the player continues to play cards that can affect other players still racing. This is good when done for strategic reasons, but can be bothersome when done for spiteful reasons. Just a word of warning.
In this high quality reissue of the classic Kramer racing series, there is little not to like about the game. The simplistic nature of play with abundant strategy makes this a great game for the entire family.
At the beginning of the game, players bid for their pole positions, then play is just a matter of playing movement cards from your dealt hand. However, each movement card moves all players' cars a certain amount! In this game, the phrase "playing your cards right" has maximum impact. It is a constant juggling act of maximizing your movement above the other players. A less complicated game than the [page scan/se=0217/sf=category/fi=stockall.asc/ml=20]Formula De series, but a more elegant game. The return of the choke points where you are sometimes forced into playing a particular movement card has turned off some people, but I see it as just another level of the strategy. Highly recommended for quick fun.
Mayfair has intimated about creating more boards of other race tracks, and I hope to see it happen.
This game, like Acquire, is one of those games you pull out when non-gaming spouses grudgingly agree to take part in a boardgame. The method of adding randomness used in this game, with color-coded cards, is unique in my experience, and much more satisfying than dice. It has enough strategy to keep experienced gamers happy, too. Similar feel to Mississppi Queen, but plays faster. Everyone should have this in his collection, for those times when you want speed, ease, and broad appeal.
Detroit - Cleveland Grand Prix is a solid blend of a racing game combined with a card game. The truth of the matter is the game is about half of each. If you are a fan of pure racing games, then Speed Circuit (out of print) and Formula De are the best games out there for that genre. What DCGP offers by comparison is a fast racing game for six players that will finish inside of two hours - including three separate races. Because you race three heats, it is not devastating to be woefully behind in any one race. The aforementioned racing games can be very tiresome if you discover early on your car just isn't competitive due to some bad break and you know the game has a few hours to go before you limp home in the back of the pack.
Just like all racing games, the object of any heat is to come in first place. Unlike other racing games, the overall object of the game is to finish with the most money. In each heat players are dealt a hand of cards that they will advance their (and other players) cars with. As bidding is involved, players are forced to make value judgments regarding how much a car is really worth. It is possible to finish better in three heats than your opponent but still lose the game if you have spent too much bidding for a car you felt you simply had to have.
I give this game only three stars (a low rating from me typically - see other reviews) for a couple of reasons. One is the replay value. While the game is a lot of fun, it only comes with two tracks, and Mayfair has not released any supplements yet. As such the game is sure to tire over time. Also, the game is really designed for EXACTLY six players, not the 2-6 players advertised. There are provisional rules for different numbers of players, but they involve have a car on the track that all players take turns controlling or controlling multiple cars, and that quite frankly doesn't make for a very good game.
Given these limitations, I still think it is a worthy purchase for certain situations. There are not a lot of games out there that work well with exactly six players, so this game is one worth pulling out on game night if you find you have exactly that number. Also, the game takes only ten minutes to teach and the set up time is minimal, so it does have the advantage of playing quickly. It is also a game that works well with the non-gaming set, so it also has value as a portal game.
Recommended given the caveats above, and the price is attractive.

Wynton Marsalis has taken flak over the years for treating jazz like an art object in a museum, but he definitely took off the white cotton gloves and pushed the music into new ground Tuesday night at the Winspear Opera House.
Leading his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on its 25th anniversary tour, the trumpeter ran the gamut from cool jazz to the avant-garde with a surprise side trip into Chicago blues: After intermission, he teamed with Dallas singer-guitarist Lucky Peterson — "the living embodiment of the blues," Marsalis called him — for a chilling version of Jimmy Rogers' Korean War-era "The World Is in a Tangle."
Like most jazz purists, Marsalis rarely plays blues songs, lest he sully jazz's uptown image. But the tune showed jazz and blues are branches on the same tree as Marsalis played a haunting trumpet solo that fit perfectly with Peterson's soulful electric guitar work.
When Peterson left, Marsalis got even bolder with parts of Abyssinian 200, the jazz-gospel Mass he wrote in 2008 to honor the Abyssinian Baptist Church. It's a thrilling work that swings from hairpin-turn bebop into free-form madness with the horns crying like seagulls during a feeding frenzy. Earlier, the group turned downright surreal during "Insatiable Hunger," an ode to Dante's Inferno written by the orchestra's saxophonist, Sherman Irby.
The crazy moments didn't last long in a show made up mostly of traditional jazz, but there was an edge to almost everything the 15-man orchestra played.
The trombone section tap-danced its lips furiously through Duke Ellington's "Braggin' in Brass." Trumpeter Kenny Rampton fired up Horace Silver's "Señor Blues" with a solo that somehow managed to be brazen and subtle at the same time. Although Marsalis tried to stay out of the spotlight and blend into the band, he led the pack with a series of risky trumpet solos that focused on the music's key element: improvisation.
"We don't segregate. All jazz is modern jazz," he said near the start of the show. And for the next 95 minutes, he proved it with a performance that reminded fans that jazz isn't a dusty antique — it's a living, breathing art form.

Shooting gallery
MONTREAL – Despite losing Game 1, the Canadiens won't be making major adjustments for Game 2 on Friday.
The Habs had a game plan heading into the series-opening tilt against the Senators and, for the majority of the game, they stuck to it to the letter. Carrying the play for the first two periods, the Canadiens peppered Craig Anderson with 41 shots in the first 40 minutes of the game alone, but it wasn't enough to send them into Game 2 riding a 1-0 series lead.
"We played a good game and we deserved a better fate. We had 50 shots on net – it doesn't happen often that you get 50 shots on net in the playoffs and end up losing the game," stressed Michel Therrien following the 4-2 loss. "Anderson was the story of the game. He played really well, but I'm very happy with the way we played tonight.
"We started the game with intensity, we completely dominated the second period and the only reason we didn't win was their goaltender," continued the Habs bench boss. "You need breaks to win games and the only thing we can control is our effort. I thought our effort tonight was good. We have to keep playing the same way."
|Gallagher's first
After seeing his team score just twice after setting a new franchise record for shots in regulation time in a playoff game, the only tweak Therrien is planning to make is finding a way to slide a few more of those pucks past Anderson on Friday night.
"Tomorrow if he stops 50 shots again, what are we going to do? I'm not going to ask them to get 100 shots – that doesn't happen," underlined Therrien. "We know we're facing a good goalie and we have to get traffic. And we had traffic; he was just good. Those things happen in the playoffs, where you're facing a goalie who makes the difference. He made the difference."
Leading the way in the Canadiens' shooting gallery was rookie Brendan Gallagher, who had a game-high eight shots on net in his NHL postseason debut. One of those shots even made its way past Anderson to give the 20-year-old his first career playoff goal in the second period.
"It was a very intense hockey game. Both sides are competitive teams and they play the right way. It was a good first game and hopefully we can continue to build on that," offered Gallagher, who drove the net to bury a Tomas Plekanec feed for a power play goal. "It's nice that we can get back at it the next day and put this one behind us. When you go into the third period with a lead, you expect to win the game."
Part of the shift in momentum heading into the third might have come from the roller coaster of emotions experienced by the Canadiens in the second period. Less than 30 seconds after Rene Bourque had tied the game at one off a perfect backhander, Lars Eller took a nasty check to the head from Eric Gryba, resulting in Eller being taken off the ice on a stretcher. Suffering a concussion, loss of consciousness, facial fractures and dental fractures stemming from the hit, Eller will spend Thursday night at the hospital pending further observation.
"[Michel] told us things like this are going to happen and when we face adversity, we have to stick together," shared Bourque of his coach's comments to the team while doctors were tending to Eller on the ice. "You want to play for your teammate and win the game for him. That was the first thing on our mind. We got a power play goal pretty quick there and got a lead then we threw it away in the third.
"We had a lot of shots where we were just throwing pucks at his feet and that's what we wanted to do but we need to get more second and third opportunities in front of him," added the 31-year-old winger, who scored his second career playoff goal in Game 1. "We need guys driving [Anderson]. We had trouble in the third period getting pucks deep and getting quality chances. We have to be hungrier around the net. That's the biggest thing we need to do tomorrow."
With less than 24 hours between the closing buzzer and the opening puck drop, the Habs won't have to wait long to put their revised plan into action.

The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid administers a number of student loan programs which provide low-interest, long-term loans to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Most financial aid packages include assistance from one or more loan programs. After a financial aid application has been completed, students will be notified of eligibility for the following programs:
There are two types of Federal Direct Loans, Subsidized and Unsubsidized.
Subsidized Loans – These are provided up to a specified amount to students with financial need. Interest is not charged on these loans while students are enrolled. Undergraduate students may borrow $3,500 – $5,500 in the Subsidized Loan Program.
Unsubsidized Loans – These are provided up to a specified amount to students regardless of financial need. Interest is charged on these loans while students are enrolled. Graduate and Professional students will be notified automatically of eligibility for this loan. Undergraduate students who wish to be considered for this loan must request consideration by completing the loan request form available in the "forms" section of this site.
Both of these loan programs offer multiple repayment plans from 10 to 30 years. The interest rate might vary, depending on the year in which the loan is taken, but will typically be no more than 6.8%.
In order to receive these loans, students must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Loan Counseling. Information will be included with the award notification once eligibility has been determined. For more information about the MPN and the terms of these loans, please refer to the federal site at: studentloans.gov.
An origination fee is charged by the Federal Government for Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans which will be taken out of the disbursed amount. The current origination fee is 1% of the amount awarded.
This is a low-interest loan for students with exceptional financial need. All students are automatically considered for this loan; no special application is needed. These loans have a 5%, interest rate and no origination fees. Repayment begins nine months after graduation and is extended up to 10 years. Students eligible for this loan are notified once their award eligibility has been determined. Eligible students receive instructions for completing a promissory note and entrance loan counseling.
Upon acceptance of the loan, the full amount will be disbursed directly into your student account.
There are two types of PLUS loans, Parent and Graduate. The Parent loan is available to parent(s) of undergraduate students. The Graduate loan is available to graduate and professional students. These loans are at a higher interest rate than other Direct Loans and the repayment terms aren't quite as attractive. For more information, see studentloans.gov. Parent loans may be used to meet costs of attendance after all other financial aid programs have been applied.
An origination fee is charged for these loans which will be taken out of the disbursement. Please refer to the studentloans.gov site for information regarding the fee.
This is a federal student loan program with long-term repayment and offered at a low interest rate. Students must be enrolled full-time, demonstrate financial need, and be enrolled in a qualified health profession. Those who are eligible will be notified by the office once financial aid eligibility has been determined. If interested, students will then be asked to submit additional income information to determine final eligibility. These loans have a 5% interest rate, accrue no interest while enrolled, offer a one-year grace period before repayment begins, and provide a repayment plan up to 10 years.

For Twitter News, Follow @dickc
Investor alert: For Twitter news, follow @dickc, @twitter and @twitterIR.
Twitter listed those three accounts in a securities filing Tuesday as potential sources of market-moving information, once it is public.
It's not surprising that Twitter would use its own service to disseminate information. The San Francisco company announced last month that it filed confidential paperwork for an initial public offering through a 140-character message, and a few weeks later alerted followers that it would unveil the documents moments before they became public on the SEC.
But the disclosure is unusual because it includes the personal account of Twitter CEO Dick Costolo. The CEO has continued to tweet even as the company waits out the SEC-enforced quiet period ahead of its IPO. Anointing Costolo's Twitter account a potential source of investor information may give the CEO, who boasts over 1.1 million followers, more leeway in talking about the company's business over the social-media service.
The SEC in April gave companies a green light to distribute news via a tweet, a Facebook post, or other social media, but only after they tell investors the channels they may use. Many companies remain tweet-shy, so Twitter will be an interesting test of the new rule.
With the filing, Twitter introduced a new investor-relations account. But one wouldn't guess that was its purpose from the 10 seemingly random Twitter users it has chosen to follow, including comedians Steve Martin and Steve Carell, actors Jason Bateman and Michael Cera and director Ron Howard.

Kodak Aims to Continue Customer Programs
After hearing that Eastman Kodak Co. filed for bankruptcy protection, customers are no doubt wondering what this means for them. If you're one of those customers, keep reading; Bankruptcy Beat is looking at the company's request to continue the customer programs it had in place before entering Chapter 11.
On filing for Chapter 11, companies like Kodak must secure bankruptcy-court approval for paying everyone from their employees to utilities, and Kodak's no exception. Among the company's so-called "first-day" motions is a request to continue honoring its existing customer programs, including product warranties, call centers, refunds and financing programs. You can read the full motion here.
Kodak said granting the motion would go a long way toward reassuring its customers, which range from individuals to big-box retailers, and preserving key relationships that are essential to its restructuring.
"It is critically important to the debtors' long-term viability that they maintain the loyalty and trust of their customers, preserve their brand equity and protect their reputation, particularly while operating in Chapter 11," Kodak said in court papers.
Specifically, Kodak is asking to maintain the warranty policies it provides for its consumer products, like cameras, and merchant products, like photo-printing kiosks. Under these policies, Kodak will resolve claims with solutions like replacing or repairing defective products. The company currently has $15.1 million set aside to resolve known and unknown warranty claims.
Kodak also uses third-party call centers to address customer concerns and questions. It says it owes these call centers, which it deems "the primary interface" between the company and the public, a service that Kodak says costs it about $2.1 million per month.
As for consumers who've purchased products like digital cameras and inkjet printers directly from the company, Kodak wants to continue offering a full return within 30 days of purchase.
Also on Kodak's list are such purchasing incentives as rebates, price protection and free gifts. The company also has incentives for retailers to carry its products, like a rebate of 1% to 2% if certain revenue targets are met or reimbursements of retailers' efforts to advertise Kodak products. According to Kodak, it has about $152 million on reserve for these marketing efforts, including $60 million to encourage the use of Kodak's film for movies and $48 million for retailers that sell Kodak consumer goods.
The company warned of the consequences if the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan doesn't grant its request. The matter is on the agenda for a hearing late Thursday afternoon.
"The decision to commence these cases, while difficult, will afford the debtors the opportunity to emerge from Chapter 11 competitively positioned to capitalize on future growth prospects and capture new market share," Kodak said. "Such opportunities will not be possible, however, if the debtors are unable to honor their obligations to their customers."

Leroy Louderback, 71, was charged with voluntary manslaughter after he called 911 to say he had shot his son, John M. Louderback, 41, in mid-December.
Deputies said at the time that the shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute.
On Thursday, a Brown County grand jury issued a "no bill" in the case.
The prosecutor's office said it gave the grand jury information about the Ohio law regarding an individual's right to defend himself while inside his own residence.

European Stocks Slump
A roundup of Friday's action on major European stock exchanges
The FTSE 100 closed lower amid a sell-off in financials and mining shares. Wall Street was trading in the red as oil bounced back after yesterday's slump and on earnings jitters among banking stocks as Merrill Lynch cut estimates for US large cap regional banks. WTI was trading at US$135.32 a barrel. On the trading floor, HBOS (-4.21%) fell after a number of brokers cut the target price and estimates on yesterday's trading update. BRADFORD & BINGLEY (-5.90%) was down on a vague rumour that the lender was in serious financial trouble. BARCLAYS (-1.90%) is said to be close to securing a GBP470m cash injection from Sumitomo, according to The Times. Elsewhere, CARPHONE WAREHOUSE's (-5.24%) David Ross has sold a large portion of his stake in the business, the Daily Mail wrote. BARRATT DEVELOPMENT (+8.31%) rallied on a Building magazine report it has struck a deal with banks to waive a clause that could have put it in breach of its lending covenants after it writes down the value of its landbank in July.

The CAC 40 (-1.79%) closed deep the red with 19-1 negative breadth, as Wall Street traded lower amid rumour (denied) of pre-announced earnings and guidance cutting from Merrill Lynch. Also, note quarterly futures and options expire today, adding to volatility. Oil prices rose to US$135.06/bbl. Iran reportedly says the oil market is oversupplied ahead of an oil producers meeting in Jeddah this weekend. Locally, AIR FRANCE-KLM (-1.98%) fell.

New York-based investor Guy Wyser-Pratte has bought a 1.66% stake in VALEO (+0.46%) and demands a strategy review.
With US markets trading lower, Xetra-Dax (-2.12%) finished the final day of the trading week firmly below breakeven. A key drag on European blue-chips were underperforming banks: DEUTSCHE BANK (-3.08%); COMMERZBANK (-8.48%). On the local corporate news front, DEUTSCHE POST (-1.23%) will open POSTBANK's (-0.86%) books next week and expects to receive firm bids within the next three weeks, reported Die Welt.

Tchibo heir Michael Herz took a stake of about 12% in ESCADA (+2.72%), Reuters reported sources as saying. This would confirm recent press reports on the matter. FREENET (-1.65%) issued an invitation for interest in its broadband business from potential purchasers. THYSSENKRUPP (+1.82%) moved in tandem with sector peer KLOECKNER (+1.2%), which said it will raise its business forecast for the current fiscal year.

HANOVER RE (-0.21%) reached an exclusive cooperation agreement with India's government-owned reinsurer GIC Re.
With Helsinki and Stockholm closed today, Oslo (-1.59%) and Copenhagen (-1.77%) finished the day firmly in the red. Wall Street was trading lower with financials weighing. Of local note, VESTAS WIND (-0.44%) said it has booked a major order in Spain for 61 turbines. CARSLBERG (+1.49%) will be allowed to sponsor football in Russia after the country's government removed a ban against the combination of the sport with beer commercials, Berlingske wrote. French company Tereos will not bid for DANISCO's (-2.91%) sugar unit, Les Echos reported. S&P Equity Research cut its target price on the stock. In the wider market, NEUROSEARCH (+4.08%) said positive results have emerged in a phase two study with ABT-894 for the treatment of adults suffering from Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Oil and oil services companies weighed on the Oslo index as WTI traded at US$135.23/bbl: STATOILHYDRO (-2.85%); ACERGY (-4.6%); PGS (-2.77%). PROSAFE PRODUCTION (-2.77%) said it has sold 30.1% of the outstanding share capital in Teekay Petrojarl for NOK59 per share, representing its entire holding. On the broker front, M. Stanley upgraded G4S (+0.51%) to overweight.
Piazza Affari ended deep in the red as worries regarding financials weighed on stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic. WTI was trading at US$135.25/bbl. FIAT's (-6.52%) CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that the group's Italian new car sales have been just as disastrous so far in June as they were in May. Italy's civil aviation agency has called for a meeting with ALITALIA's executives next week to examine information on its finances and its plans to manage the summer season. TENARIS (+2.39%) was the only gainer in the SP/MIB ahead of a decision by the US International Trade Commission on the import of welded pipes from China. In M&A news, Il Sole 24 Ore writes that TISCALI (-8.9%) has failed to attract bids from British groups. Local press reported that GEOX (-5.33%) is not interested in participating in the bid for the sale of Austria's Stiefelkoenig. In management changes, TELECOM ITALIA's (-1.97%) CFO Enrico Parazzini has resigned and will be replaced by Marco Patuano on 8 August.

Supporting virtual servers with Server Name Indication
Server Name Indication lets you operate more than one SSL-protected service per IP address.
Web users and developers are equally devoted to the goal of keeping attackers from sniffing online orders, logging credit card numbers, and plundering user accounts. Fortunately, the introduction of Secure Socket Layer, a protocol for encrypted data transmission and reliable identification, helps prevent this horror scenario by offering a means for protecting sensitive web activities such as online banking.
The https protocol integrates SSL with http for secure web communication. With the use of encryption parameters that are negotiated with the use of the DNS name of the server, https establishes a secure connection.

The Plague
by Albert Camus
The Asthmatic Spaniard
Character Analysis
Rieux's asthmatic patient is arguably the most fascinating, intriguing, and difficult character in The Plague. He chooses to be bed-ridden. He doesn't believe in clocks, but he transfers peas all day from one pan to the next to keep track of time. He is somehow gleeful to see the plague taking over. How do you not love this guy?
We talked about how The Plague is a philosophical casserole dish of humanism, existentialism, and the absurd. The asthmatic Spaniard is probably the best representative of this third prong. His actions are clearly irrational, yet he reasons through them and, most importantly to all three of these philosophies, makes the choice to do them consciously.
Perhaps this is why Tarrou is so interested in the man, and even goes so far as to ask if he is a saint. It's possible that this odd duck is actually the one example in all of his novels that Camus holds up as exemplary.
Or not. It's also possible to argue that the old man wastes time just like anyone else, that he is hypocritical, contradictory, and afraid of death. But even if you take this extreme viewpoint, you can't argue with the fact that the Spaniard sees something no one else does: the absurdity and irrationality of the world after the gates of Oran are re-opened. When he laughs at the thought of the citizens memorializing the dead and then going off to "have a good snack," he's actually more than a little old man chuckling in potentially creepy glee: he's cognizant of one of the most important lessons of the novel – that the plague is cruel and indifferent and awful, sure; but that regular life, too, is cruel and indifferent and awful.

Antique Workbench Completioncomments (16) September 20th, 2012 in blogs
I've always admired antique workbenches showing all those years of use. This "reclaimed" bench of sorts doesn't show all the dings, dents and saw kerfs of the original top, but the vises still do. I have to say these wood screw vises are a joy to use. They look a little rough, but with a thin coat of wax on the threads, these guys operate as smooth as can be. I'll just have to get to work using the bench to age the new top!
I should have tackled the glue up in stages. First glueing the leg assemblies separately, then glueing the stretchers in place before tapping the top down on the leg tenons. It was actually more like beating the top down onto the leg tenons, but they eventually were all seated down nice and tight using a scrap block of wood and a small mallet.
Since the top is yellow pine and cyprus, flattening was pure fun. After attaching the vises, all I had to do was fit a few bench dogs to the top and the tail vise. The tail vise still had the original forged dog with it, but I like wood dogs better. Actually, if the end blocks weren't bolted in place, the only metal in the entire bench would be the six brass screws that lock the flange to the leg vise chop!

Thanks so much for the kind words! If you'd like to post photos of your bench restoration project you can go to the link below and add them in the gallery. You'll need to make a "profile" if you don't have one, but then you can upload images there. Also, maybe post a comment in this blog so anyone interested in restoration projects can click over to the gallery and check it out. Thanks again!

I should be starting on the build/rebuild in a few days. I have used this bench since I saved it from the wood pile. It is so rickety that I have 2 pipe clamps on the base to steady it up. But once I got used to not drawing blood walking around the clamps it has actually worked pretty good. and I love the vises. I should be able to shim them with lignum vitae to tighten them up a bit.
But here is my question - how do I post pictures of my project? I am quite new to the forum and am somehwat ignorant of the ins and outs so to speak. This is a question probably best posed to the "Regulars" to answer for me so I don't take up your (John's) precious time with mechanics. If anyone knows how to post pics or even short videos (other than UTube) here I would be much appreciative.
And John, I especially like your videos and projects. Whenever I see your name on something I watch it or read it.I have studied at great length your Roubo Workbench video, and plan to use the mortise and tenon joints you so eloquently teach there. You have a certain flair that is not often seen these days and quite enjoyable. I think it is a combination of your passion and youthful mastery of the craft. However you resaw it, it is wonderful. Thanks, Sandy Maguire

You're right, it would be easier to deal with the dog holes as a separate strip - small pieces glued up or a template for a router works great. The cypress (not the country of cyprus of course, :-)) was soft enough for me to just go with chopping.
To WomenTurn2 and NoDeal,
I'd love to see photos of your workbench restoration projects. It's great to hear those old benches are going to be put back to work!

This is so timely. I am sitting here in my shop looking at my 100 year old workbench (which I am preparing to rebuild), checking my email, and low and behold there you are. My story is too long to relay (and would probably bore everyone), but my bench was destined to be chopped up for firewood, and if I wanted it, come get it. I have been collecting the materials and the tools to rebuild it now for over a year. Even the handtools are 100 years old, LOL. The project may be perfect for documenting. I've been a woodworker for 25+ years and this is my first real workbench. It has a wood screw front vise and tail vise that the split flange is missing from. Like you, I planned to take the piece of true lignum vitae I've been saving and make another. Your article was truly inspirational for me. As soon as my current orders are finished I'm going to start my "Half-and-Half Workbench Project" - meaning half old and half new. And before the Pot calls the Kettle black try reading things backwards-it's an old proof-reader's trick...

2). hmm--it looks like cypress is (not) too poplar!
3). I am a novice, but wouldn't it be easier to glue/use shorter pieces of wood for the row of dog holes and the mortise for the legs, to look like this:

Gee,you should get someone to proof your submissions...so disconcerting!!!

Cyprus wood?
You work for a woodworking magazine for Pete's sake.
Get someone to proof you work and know that it's CYPRESS wood.
Seeing typos like that on-line and in the Magazine is disconcerting.
Even so, you did great wok. Especially on the vise screws!

I checked with Fedex, and they said the roubo bench was over the weight limit, so we'll have to organize a lift gate truck. :-)
Seriously though it would be hard to give up the hybrid roubo. I've found it to be exactly what I want every time I use it. The new old bench was a little side project, mostly because I like antiques and I always wanted to try a wood screw vise. The smaller size of this bench (22in. wide by 6 feet long) will make it more manageable to bring down to our local agricultural fair where I do a small woodworking demo. And for the rest of the year it will be nice to have a second bench in the shop for glue-ups or assembly, that is if I can squeeze it in my shop!

The new old bench came out great! What are your plans for it?
