Stephen Sondheim's ASSASSINS
Ray of Light Theatre
Multiple Dates
June 2 – 25, 2011 (6/2 preview, 6/3 Opening/Press Night, 6/25 closing)
Presented by: RAY OF LIGHT THEATRE
Music & Lyrics by: STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Book by: JOHN WEIDMAN
Based on an idea by: CHARLES GILBERT, JR.
Directed by: JASON HOOVER
The Eureka Theater
215 Jackson St. (at Battery), San Francisco, CA 94111
Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the uttermost controversial musical ever written.
This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and, in an intense final scene, inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
Don't miss this incredible piece of musical theatre, brought to you by award-winning, San Francisco-based Ray of Light Theatre!

Fire, police, and electric department upgrades and completion of other projects highlight the City of Marlow's budget for 2014-2015 which was approved unanimously Tuesday evening during a special meeting.
The $9.2 million budget recognizes revenue and expenses expected by the City of Marlow and Marlow Municipal Authority (MMA) during the fiscal year.
Representing a large portion of the budget, full-time city employees will continue to receive health insurance benefits, including dental, vision, and a nominal amount of life insurance coverage.
"Our employees work diligently for the city and its residents, and rising healthcare costs are becoming more prohibitive to employers," said Jason McPherson, city administrator. "The council, trustees and management are proud to be able to extend these benefits for those employees."
Projects begun last fiscal year, with completion expected in the next, are the Garland Smith Public Library and an additional substation transformer.
The substation project began in early 2014 and is expected to be complete by year's end.
"This is a major enhancement for the City of Marlow – improving the reliability for our residents and the safety for our electrical employees," McPherson said.
The $1.6 million project is financed by a 15-year loan being repaid through utility revenue.
The Garland Smith Public Library will move into its new home in the renovated National Guard Armory soon. The $1.7 million project was financed through the City's Capital Improvement Fund, loan funds, and private donations.
"Monies from the Capital Improvement Fund were a one-time revenue source that was mainly funded through oil and gas revenues from the last decade," McPherson noted. "Those funds are non-recurring funds that are best used towards capital improvements rather than recurring expenses, such as salaries. Those monies were saved from the oil and natural gas boom back in 2008, and have been used to help retire debt service derived to fund all these major projects we've experienced."
McPherson said the renovation is 99 percent complete and the conference room has been booked for June 24.
City equipment will receive upgrades through the new fiscal budget.
The fire department will replace a Jaws of Life® and pager system, while the police department will purchase two cruisers.
The replaced cruisers will be used in other city departments. The Jaws of Life® and cruisers will be purchased through EMS sales tax. The new pagers are a part of the fire department's regular budget.
The electric department will replace an aging pole-digging truck which will be used in the water department. The truck will be purchased through the MMA administration, and is funded by utility revenue.

Panasonic Android-based e-Book Tablet For The Japanese Domestic Market
- Panasonic
- e-Book Expo Tokyo
At e-Book Expo Tokyo, Panasonic exhibited an e-book tablet that's currently being developed. This tablet will support e-commerce site Rakuten's e-book store, which will open in early August. The price and release date will be announced soon.
The demo tablet weighs 400 g, and has a 7-inch screen, with a resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels. This demo device has a dual-core CPU, built-in camera, and microSDHC slot. The specifications of the actual product, though, haven't been decided yet.
"This tablet mainly handles e-books for the Japanese market. What's distinctive about it is the software, rather than the hardware. It has an API that can receive information from Rakuten and show it on screen. We'll be offering a service where all you need is a Wi-Fi connection to get book information and rankings in real time."
The device has 600 previewable e-books pre-installed, so you can enjoy some content as soon as you buy it. And because it's Android-based, this tablet also provides basic applications like browsing and e-mail.
The home screen features a unique interface, resembling a desktop. It shows books you're partway through, your favorites, and books you haven't read yet. When you flick each icon, the thumbnails change, and when you pinch out, a list of thumbnails is displayed.
"This e-book tablet is aimed mainly at people in their 30s and 40s, who tend to read a lot, as well as older age groups."

CHARLOTTE - The verdict is guilty in the case of a Charlotte doctor accused of molesting his female patients. A jury took a day-and-a-half of deliberations to find Dr. Kassem Hallak guilty on 8 of the 11 counts of criminal sexual conduct against him. 11 women accused Hallak of touching them inappropriately while they were in his examination room. One woman said that Hallak had sex with her in his examination room. Another victim was 12-years-old at the time of the molestation. The assaults started in 2006, but a victim did not come forward until 2010.
Hallak did not react when the verdict was read Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Hallak testified in his own defense during the trial and maintained that his behavior was consistent with established medical techniques.
Hallak faces up to 15 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for July 31st.

by Allen Ginsberg
Analysis: Speaker
As wild as some of the events of the poem are, Howl is really about "the morning after." The first two lines of the poem are "I saw," not "I see." Our speaker has woken up from a month-long bender, and he wants to tell us everything he saw, even though he's bleary-eyed and blood-shot, undernourished, exhausted. He's a witness. He has to share these stories with someone and, fortunately, that someone is us.
The speaker seems to talk a mile-a-minute, so his words don't come out in the proper order. When he says things like, "who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high," we want to say, "Whoa there, buddy, that's not proper English – back the train up for a second." But he's like, "No time to stop – gotta tell everything, gotta just spit it out." When you look closely at the syntax of Howl, the order of its words and phrases, you realize that it emulates the way someone on drugs or suffering from mental illness might speak. Just like your English teacher says, "Show, don't tell." The speaker of Howl is a living, breathing embodiment of the mental state he describes.
The speaker is also a smart guy and very well read. He has been to college and learned about William Blake, the philosopher Plotinus, and the Dadaist movement in France. He loves books, but he doesn't bury himself in them. He likes to be out in the world, traveling around and experiencing the best and worst that society has to offer. His best friends are homeless men and drug addicts and people who sleep on the subway. He's also very loyal toward his friends, which is why he can't forget about his good buddy Carl Solomon, who is stuck out there in Rockland psychiatric hospital.
He's the kind of guy you might meet at 4am in an all-night diner, who shouts his opinions at you over his fifth refill of coffee. He has strong views and wants you to have them, too, even if you disagree with him. He puts heart over head, to the max.
Although his life may seem like one adventure after another, he's really a sad and melancholy dude. He says his friends have been "destroyed," and he's struggling to figure out how it happened. In the middle of the poem he gets angry and starts shouting about Moloch. "It's all Moloch's fault! If I see that Moloch, I'm going to punch him in the nose!" Then he remembers about his friend Carl and gets sad and reflective again. He has a dark sense of humor, which keeps him going when times get rough.

Suicidal Doe?Suicidal Doe?It was an eerie Sunday morning as I packed my overflowing bag of clothes and books. I sat on my bag in hopes it would be easier to zip shut as excitement of going home relieved my bored vibe of the three days of nothingness. It was a weekend up North, just like any other, with a hint of laziness. My father had to work all weekend so he was idle. Working on the computer all day long in cubicles puts my mind in wonder. Its just something I dont understand why anyone would want the sort of job where you sit at a computer all day long typing in codes and working on programs. It was nicer on the weekends for him although, hed get to sit around in his pajamas in all bummness and wait for someone to call and take care of his work from there, helping the person on the other line with computer problems and so on.My mother on the other hand, is a nurse. When she has to work weeken
Tear me a partTear a part these wings that growShred to pieces my growing mindRip these overbearing clothesAnd mend my soul deep inside
Me and YouIt's always been me and youcaught in thistranslucent worldwith hidden thoughtsand unspoken secrets

Groupon Seizes Window of Opportunity
Whew! Groupon may have been pretty lucky to get through the IPO window when it did. It may slam shut again quickly, what with rocketing Italian bond yields signaling the spread of debt contagion in Europe and kicking up stock market volatility.
Volatility is toxic for IPOs. It was the reason the U.S. IPO market froze completely for two months. Groupon was just the fifth company to get an offering done once the market reopened, sort of, in mid-October. Even so, the first day pop for shares has all but evaporated: After pricing at $20 and zooming to $31, the shares have fallen back below $24.
Anyway, after Groupon's successful IPO, bankers have raced to get more on the calendar: 15 are expected this week and next according to Renaissance Capital. Imperva priced its offering at $18 last night, above its expected range, and shares are up 33% in its first trading day today.
It will be interesting to see how many of these other deals get done, and whether Zynga will be able to make it out after Thanksgiving. As markets wake up to the reality that the debt crisis isn't being contained, that spells more bad news for IPOs.

It seems like it's one problem after another for Jermaine Jackson. He's currently stuck in Burkina Faso, Africa with an expired passport and he won't be able to get a new one until he pays up on back child support — over $90K worth.
TMZ has learned that due to California law, when an individual owes more than $2,500 a month in child support they're passport is automatically flagged. The down side is when it expires, it cannot be renewed until all of the owed child support is paid — and in Jermaine Jackson's case that's $91,921.
Jackson was originally required to pay $3,000 a month and back in September he asked the judge to lower his payments to $215 a month due to lack of income. To make matters worst, just last month the home he was renting in California went into foreclosure and is expected to be auctioned off on January 21st. Hang in there, Jermaine!

Why did Juan Ponce Enrile turn against President Marcos? What does he know about the assassination of Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino and the human rights violations during the Martial Law period?
Senate President Enrile will address decades-old controversies and bare his life story to Filipinos for the first time in a special two-hour documentary that will tackle the roles he played in the country's tumultuous history that will air this Sunday (Sept 23) on ABS-CBN.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the declaration of martial law, ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs will go behind the scenes and walk through the corridors of power with Enrile to attempt to answer questions that have been in the public's consciousness for years.
Get the facts straight from the people who have encountered, worked and clashed with the man who has always been eyed with suspicion and regarded with fear for being the defense minister during the Martial Law regime and for allegedly plotting a coup against the late President Cory Aquino. Despite this, history also saw him as the EDSA Revolution hero who helped oust the Marcos regime 26 years ago and the judicious presiding judge of the Senate impeachment court that convicted Chief Justice Renato Corona drew raves from supporters and critics alike.
At 88, Enrile insists distortions of Philippine history must be corrected before he retires.
What part of history needs to be changed? Who is the real Juan Ponce Enrile? Is a hero or a heel? Don't miss "Johnny: The Juan Ponce Enrile Story" this Sunday (Sept 23) in Sunday's Best after "Gandang Gabi Vice" on ABS-CBN.

Tropic of Cancer
by Henry Miller
Tropic of Cancer Theme of Suffering and Disease
The title of the book—Tropic of Cancer—says it all. Miller is living in a place where disease and discomfort are the norm. And you know what? He seems to like it that way. It's all part of life's great majesty: birth, death, hunger, disease, aging, loss, and death. Bring it on. Plus, according to our writer protagonist, suffering is what makes you a good artist, offering all sorts of rich material. The good news is that Henry and his friends seem to have a small degree of sympathy for each other's suffering… right?
Questions About Suffering and Disease
- Does Henry identify any difference between artistic suffering and "real" suffering?
- Why does Henry laugh in the face of suffering?
- Who suffers the most in Tropic of Cancer? Is there more physical suffering or mental suffering?
Chew on This
According to the first chapter, Henry thinks that Jews suffer better than Gentiles.
Henry equates neurosis and suffering and thinks that creativity comes from both of them. Basically, he believes that you have to be a mental case to be a good writer.

How much software runs on the vax ?
In my case, I just upped the SYSUAF to match the alpha requirements. In
the end, the big changes are with the pgflquota which alpha needs
sagan> billions and billions of. On the VAX, you can use
the sysgen WSMAX to limit working sets to a reasonable limit.
If you don't have much software running on it, it may be sufficient, and
just lest the process/memory manager decide how much working set each
process really deserves.
Another option would be to have an architecture specific SYSUAF during
startup that includes only the necessary accounts with that
architecture's quota, and once startup is complete, you then redirect
SYSUAF to the shared one where all the usernames are defined. SOftware
that is started at boot time would get "OK" quotas, but processes
started after boot would get the exagerated quotas that would be allow
one to run on any platform.
Another approach is to look at the actual startup scripts for each
layered product. Many would provide ways to specify quotas
because in the end, they dur a RUN/DETACHED and provide the quotas in
that command line.

Further information about research courses
Research at Sydney
Your research at Sydney
Research at The University of Sydney is dynamic and always evolving; inspiring the active mind and providing new tools and ways of thinking that lead to innovation. A postgraduate research degree is a training exercise in which the candidate acquires knowledge of research methods and experience in planning, performing and publishing research under the guidance of a supervisor. The success of that training is assessed through a thesis, which in the case of a PhD is expected to provide some evidence of originality and thereby make some significant contribution to knowledge, at least some of which is publishable. A successful research master's thesis will likewise demonstrate a grasp of training in research methodology but may make a less original contribution than a doctoral thesis.
Over the years, The University of Sydney has consistently outperformed other Australian universities in the measure of research performance used by the Australian Government to allocate funding. The numbers are impressive, but what really matters is the research this funding supports. This exceptional outcome is testament to the breadth, depth and scale of Sydney's research enterprise and demonstrates the superior quality of Sydney researchers in the eyes of their research peers
The supervisor is that member of the academic or, as appropriate, senior research staff, appointed to take primary responsibility for the conduct of a student's research candidature. The supervisor must be available at all stages of the candidature for advice, assistance and direction and is responsible for the progress of the candidature to the head of department/school and the faculty or college. At least one associate supervisor is also appointed. The role of the supervisory team will change over the course of the candidature but will generally always comprise: ensuring sufficient resources are available to support the candidate; providing advice about an initial research plan; ensuring that the candidate is aware of the particular research skills to be acquired and that appropriate techniques are established for gathering and analysing data; monitoring progress made within the context of the research plan; agreeing on a timetable for frequent and regular contact and acknowledging the need for periodic review of these arrangements; establishing agreed indicators of progress; providing regular and constructive feedback on written analysis and drafts; and providing sound advice about relevant administrative matters.
The University of Sydney offers a number of research scholarships to outstanding domestic and international students. Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and citizens of New Zealand are domestic applicants. Scholarships information for domestic applicants sydney.edu.au/scholarships/research/. Overseas nationals (citizens of all other countries) are international applicants. Scholarships information for international applicants sydney.edu.au/future_students/international_postgraduate_research/costs_scholarships/scholarships/index.shtml.
About RTS
The Research Training Scheme (RTS), sydney.edu.au/future_students/domestic_postgraduate_research/costs_scholarships/costs.shtml administered by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), provides course fee exemptions for Commonwealth-funded higher degree by research (HDR) students for the duration of an accredited HDR course, up to a maximum of four years full-time equivalent study for a doctorate by research (including a professional doctorate which meets the research program criteria), and two years' full-time equivalent study for a master's by research. RTS students may be enrolled full-time or part-time.
Progression and completion
Progression rules
A candidate for the Master of Philosophy will proceed by completing research and a thesis, and where required additional work as specified by the Postgraduate Research Co-ordinator, or supervisor.
The Business School will assess the candidate's progress toward the completion of the requirements of the degree on an annual basis.
Annual progress review
The Academic Board has determined that all research candidates are required to undertake an annual progress review (APR). The APR comprises a written report and a mandatory interview. The report requires written statements from the candidate, the supervisory panel, the staff member responsible for coordinating or directing research within the department, and the Chair of the review panel.
The interview is conducted by the review panel, which should include the participation of an academic staff member or members from outside the department. Members of the candidate's supervisory panel may be present for part of the interview, but the interview must provide the candidate with the opportunity to speak freely to the review panel without the presence of supervisors. On the basis of evidence provided and the interview, the head of the department recommends the conditions of candidature to apply for the following year.
Completion requirements
Thesis submission requirements and examination procedure as set out in the Academic Board resolutions for this course and the Higher Degree (HDR) Rule 2011.

Microsoft embraces ODF -- What does Sun have to say about it?
By molini on May 22, 2008
If you've any interest in standards and open source, one of the most
thought provoking topics in a long time (in my opinion) has been how to save your files in a way that you can access them in the years ahead.
On Wednesday, Microsoft issued a press release that states they will support ODF.
Since Sun has long supported Open Standards and Open Source and our commitment to them remains strong and unwavering. This news pinged my interest so I approached Jim Parkinson, vice president, Developer, Tools and Services at Sun, to ask him about these developments.
In summary, he stated, "Sun welcomes Microsoft's decision to embrace OpenDocument Format (ODF v1.1). We look forward to working with Microsoft on the OASIS ODF Technical Committee to complete the improved ODF v1.2 specification and to submit it as an update to ISO/IEC. This is valuable progress towards the interoperability and openness that customers are demanding worldwide."
You might also enjoy an insightful perspective on Microsoft's decision in Simon Phipp's blog entry and and invitation from Peter Korn, Accessibility Architect at Sun, who is officially inviting Microsoft and others to join in the OASIS OpenDocument Format Accessibility subcommittee efforts.

I'm a card carrying Democrat but it seems like all you guys want to do lately is bash conservatives.
On Tuesday, an Oklahoma judge struck down the ludicrous and archaic law ultra sound abortion law. From the Joke:
A judge Tuesday struck down a controversial state abortion law requiring ultrasounds on grounds one legislator called a technicality.
Oklahoma County District Judge Vicki Robertson ruled the law unconstitutional, finding it violated a requirement that legislation deal with a single subject…
The most controversial aspect of the law was a requirement that an abortion doctor or medical technician give a pregnant woman an ultrasound at least an hour before the procedure and display the images of the unborn baby where the woman could see them.
The law required the doctor or technician also to describe what the woman was seeing, including if the fetus' heart was beating.
Wow. Maybe the whole "single subject" deal is a legitimate excuse to strike down the law, or maybe Judge Vicki Robertson is one those mysterious (and mythical) "activist" judges we are always hearing about. Regardless, who the hell cares? The judicial system has worked! We now have one less cruel, meaningless, archaic bill on the books. Hooray!
Anyway, I know we've mentioned this before, but for a legislature that allegedly wants to keep government interference out of our lives and medical decisions, they sure did a good job of passing laws that put the government right in the middle of one of the most personal and difficult medical decisions imaginable. Normally, you would call a group like that "Hypocrites." But here in Oklahoma, we call just it the Republican controlled Legislature.
It will be interesting to see how the legislature reacts to this "defeat" in the next legislative session. The judge's decision is already being challenged, so they may not have to do anything. Maybe if the appeal works they'll then do something productive like make insurance companies provide coverage for autism. I doubt it, though. They'll probably just force physicians to recite passages from Leviticus before performing physical examinations or just ban erotic nurse fantasies form hospitals. Whatever they do, it won't surprise me.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

Newberg names next superintendent
The Newberg School Board named Kym Le Blanc-Esparza, Executive Director of K-12 Schools in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools in suburban Denver, to be its next superintendent.
The board voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve a three-year contract with Dr. LeBlanc-Esparza. She will succeed superintendent Paula Radich, who retires at the end of June.
"It is a great honor to have been chosen to lead the Newberg Public Schools," said Dr. LeBlanc-Esparza. "There is such a great pride and respect for the schools and educators in this community. This district already has many great things in place for kids. I look forward to getting to know the people in the community and working directly with the educators in the schools."
Dr. LeBlanc-Esparza received her undergraduate degree from New Mexico State University, Las Cruces. She holds a masters degree in administration and curriculum from the University of Texas, Odessa, and earned her doctorate in educational leadership and applied statistics at the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley.
Dr. LeBlanc-Esparza currently leads and supervises K-12 principals in the 43,000-student district, including comprehensive high schools, middle and elementary schools, magnet schools and alternative education campuses. She previously served as principal of a K-8 magnet school, then moved to direct advanced academic services in Adams 12. She was responsible for advanced academic services, math and science programs in Boulder, Colorado and was an assistant principal and curriculum specialist in Odessa, Texas, prior to working in Colorado. Dr. LeBlanc-Esparza began her education career teaching elementary school, math and science.
"Dr. LeBlanc-Esparza is a proven and successful leader of schools," said Melinda Van Bossuyt, school board chairwoman. "She has a depth of understanding about curriculum and instruction coupled with a history of making sure kids come first. I am delighted to welcome her to our community."

Health Behavior Change
This course is an introduction to the science of health behavior change. The most commonly used theories, models, and strategies of health behavior change will be explored in the context of promoting health and preventing disease. The particular emphasis of the course is on health behavior change in relation to improving physical activity, eating nutritiously, eliminating tobacco use, and other lifestyle-related habits, that impede optimal health and wellness. This course is designed to teach students the theory-based skills and strategies they need to take a patient or client from knowing what they need to do to achieving behavior change. For example, have you ever wondered why individuals who know how to exercise and eat right, do not engage in these healthy behaviors, or why individuals cannot maintain a healthy behavior change? This course will provide the student with the background theory behind human behavior and introduce the student to motivational strategies and tools that can promote a lasting health behavior change. Emphasis is placed on improving student competency in designing evidence-and theory -based interventions for individuals and groups. This course will lay the foundation for EHS 360 Wellness Coaching Techniques where the student will learn the counseling skills to interact with individuals and groups in health promotion and health care settings. The course has particular relevance to students who plan to be exercise specialists, nutritionists, health educators, physical therapists, physical assistance, nurses, psychologist and other health care professionals.

ingredient information
Emulsifiers Blend
An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible (unblendable) substances. One substance (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase). Examples of emulsions include butter and margarine, espresso, mayonnaise, the photo-sensitive side of photographic film, and cutting fluid for metalworking. In butter and margarine, a continuous liquid phase surrounds droplets of water (water-in-oil emulsion). Emulsification is the process by which emulsions are prepared. Emulsions tend to have a cloudy appearance, because the many phase interfaces (the boundary between the phases is called the interface) scatter light that passes through the emulsion. Emulsions are unstable and thus do not form spontaneously. Energy input through shaking, stirring, homogenizers, or spray processes are needed to form an emulsion. Over time, emulsions tend to revert to the stable state of oil separated from water. Surface active substances (surfactants) can increase the kinetic stability of emulsions greatly so that, once formed, the emulsion does not change significantly over years of storage. Homemade oil and vinegar salad dressing is an example of an unstable emulsion that will quickly separate unless shaken continuously. This phenomenon is called coalescence, and happens when small droplets recombine to form bigger ones. Fluid emulsions can also suffer from creaming, the migration of one of the substances to the top of the emulsion under the influence of buoyancy or centripetal force when a centrifuge is used. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids. Although the terms colloid and emulsion are sometimes used interchangeably, emulsion tends to imply that both the dispersed and the continuous phase are liquid.

The Plattsburgh state men's lacrosse team had their eyes set on making the 2014 playoffs again and with a win over Oneonta, they would do just that. The cards jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Solid goaltending and plenty of offense led the cardinals to a 22-4 win. Tim Lawrence hit a milestone, scoring his 100th career score. 4 goals on the afternoon, gives him 102 for his career. Plattsburgh will be the 3rd seed in next week's SUNYAC post-season.

As many of you should know I'm a Dane. I live in our wonderful capital Copenhagen. I am calling out for other people who do the same, who would like to share the fascinating world of Sunday night Italian football with me.
I often go to watch Serie A on Vesterbro. Normally I go to High Q on the corner of Dybbølsgade and Søndre Boulevard, but at times I have to go to O'leary's at the main station. I used to frequent Pub & Sport at Vester Voldgade a lot back in the days, but I haven't been there for a good while.
My goal with this post is to gather a group of people, who share the passion for calcio, and who would like to share those Sunday nights with me and each other. It's a bit sad sitting on the edge of the seat during another 3-4 Roma defeat or witness another stunning Cavani goal when everyone in the bar apart from my is occupied with something as irrelevant as La Liga or NFL.
What I imagine is that we make a place and time (may I suggest 20.45) to meet up every Sunday night. Together we enjoy, or try to enjoy depending on the circumstances, the night's game. I'm not talking boozing, just a beer, some coffee, a cola, or whatever you want.
So what we simply need to do is to make a deal on where to meet. High Q is a place where it's allowed to smoke. Personally I don't smoke, but it's close to my home, and I don't mind the smoke too much. O'leary's is non-smoking but also without much charm. Pub & Sport is more or less the same, but here you can often encounter a few Italians following the games. If you know other bars, where they show calcio on a regular basis, I'm open for them too.
Please note that this isn't a club, and you don't have to tell if you're not coming. The goal is just to gather calcio lovers to share the fun.
The first game is Milan – Udinese tonight the 3rd of February.
I will be at High Q. It's close to Dybbølsbro station. Just walk down Dybbølsgade and when you reach Søndre Boulevard you'll see it. NOTE – It's on Pub&Sport on Vester Voldgade instead! Next week I'm going skiing, but I'll work hard to make this initiative work going forward. Please join me in the fun (and occasional loathing…).
Please share this with whoever you know who might be interested. I suggest that we use the Facebook page of "Alt om italiensk fodbold" to communicate. http://www.facebook.com/aoitalienskfodbold?ref=ts&fref=ts. I'll start todays's thread asap.

Suspect in 2009 bank robbery arrested
AVON PARK -A state prisoner serving time for an unrelated crime has confessed to robbing more than $100,000 in 2009 from SunTrust Bank in Avon Park, according to a warrant affidavit. Alberto Perez Jr., 25, a prisoner at Calhoun Correctional Institute, was arrested on the Highlands County charge by the Highlands County Sheriff's Office after he told an investigator that he was one of the two men who robbed SunTrust on July 28, 2009. Two men who disguised their appearance went into the bank and threatened bank employees and customers with handguns, the affidavit said. They ordered two bank employes and a customer into the vault area and told one of the employees to put money into a bag, the report said.Avon Park police obtained a name of the suspect and surveillance footage at the bank indicated the robber looked like the suspect, the affidavit said. Within the last year, the Highlands County Sheriff's Office, which now hands law enforcement in Avon Park, took over the case and obtained a confession from Perez, the affidavit said. At the time of his confession, Perez was serving 15-year sentences for armed robbery and aggravated assault for a crimes that were committed in April and February of 2007. firstname.lastname@example.com (863) 386-5834

PARKERSBURG - Parkersburg South High School Principal Tom Eschbacher has died. He was 51.
Wood County Schools Superintendent John Flint said Eschbacher passed away early Friday morning at Camden Clark Medical Center's Memorial Campus from complications related to a recent illness. He would have turned 52 on July 24.
Eschbacher served Wood County Schools for 30 years, the last 13 as principal at Parkersburg South.

A memorial service to celebrate the Eschbacher's life will be held Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Parkersburg South High School auditorium, Flint said. The service is open to the public.
Arrangements were pending at Leavitt Funeral Home in Parkersburg on Friday evening, officials said.
"Speaking as superintendent and a friend of Tom's, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Eschbacher family," Flint said. "I think the loss is threefold. First off, I lost a close friend and colleague. Second, Parkersburg South lost someone who really loved Parkersburg South and its students. He was an outstanding leader in his role as principal. Thirdly, Wood County Schools has lost a dedicated administrator and an excellent educator."
Eschbacher served as principal at Blennerhassett Junior High School for several years, said former PSHS assistant principal Tim McCartney.
"He was a super guy, a true leader. He had all the qualities that you look for in a good leader and he has left a huge void," McCartney said.
Eschbacher was a good friend to McCartney, and truly cared about the kids at his school and about his position, McCartney said.
Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell got to know Eschbacher when Newell was serving as chief of police and a prevention resource officer was assigned to Parkersburg South for the first time.
"He's very professional and very easy to work with. He's one of the better administrators the county's had in these high schools," Newell said Friday. "He's going to be sorely missed."
Before every PSHS home game, Eschbacher would throw a tailgate party for the faculty, along with their friends and family, said former PSHS spirit leader and teacher Larry "Mad Max" Maxwell. In fact, Eschbacher was present at most social functions the school held, Maxwell said.
"When we would have games against Parkersburg High, he would always host a chili dinner and invite the PHS staff to enjoy it with us," Maxwell said.
The fact that Eschbacher's door was always open stood out in Maxwell's mind.
"He wasn't like other principals, you would see him out in the hallways and he knew a lot of the kids by name. He would come into classes and watch and was all over the school," Maxwell said.
Eschbacher was also known for doing the little things to let people know they were appreciated, Maxwell said.
"Back when we only had one car, on rainy mornings when I was walking up to the school, he would always stop to pick me up and give me a ride," Maxwell said.

bookish side table
However, when my aunt called me up and said she had a bunch of tables she would like me to "do something with" I jumped at the chance. You see my aunt is a pretty cool lady, I have a pretty good idea of whet she would like and she gives a pretty fair time line (usually she gives me the "whenever you get around to it" time line, which works perfectly for me).
I just finished one of her tables and I have to say, I am kinda in love...
In true me fashion I did not take a before pic, but picture brown, all brown. It was nice enough, but just not special. I think it is special now and hope she thinks so too...
I prepped the table by giving it a good sanding and then made up some chalk paint and painted the whole thing black. After letting it dry I taped off and painted some stripes. Then I distressed everything - I really went to town on this piece. Finally, I painted the dark red pin stripes on the grey stripes and very lightly distressed them - I did not want the red to turn pink! My last step was sealing it with wax. I love the finish that wax gives painted wood.
So what about you, what are your thoughts about custom orders, am I the only one who feels this way???

It is beautiful Keya! She is going to be so pumped! I especially love the two teeny red stripes cutting through it. Great job!!

- Susan D said...
First, the table is gorgeous. I love the stripes!
Second, I TOTALLY agree with you about custom work. Not only do I freak out the same way you mentioned, but I have a really hard time coming up with what to charge.

- Elizabeth (Blue Clear Sky) said...
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comment on my newest ironstone finds. Love this piece and I know what you mean about stressing over custom orders. My hair stylist wants me to paint a desk for her, doesn't get much easier than white, but I haven't agreed yet because I am afraid I will mess it up. It's only white paint and I have tons of furniture painting experience so I don't know what is holding me back. Pricing custom stuff might be the biggest obstacle for me I guess.

I know what you mean about feeling stressed about other peoples things. I have been asked my someone I dont know to finish her dining table in black, I gave her a price and now i am stressing, yikes !

- Reeves @ The Weathered Door said...
love love love what you did with this piece! I want it!
I agree about the whole custom painting thing... I am not a fan.

Great job. I'm sure she will adore it. If not, I'll take it off your hands! ; )

thanks for linking to paint parade!

Example sentences
- But their presence is signalled by an unmistakable call similar to bellowing of a bull with a deep, resonant boom that carries up to a mile.
- So the resonant sound is dubbed an auspicious sound.
- Large, ungainly and hanging onto my thick specs, I'd leap over a vault with my free hand, landing with a resonant thud on the other side, and I loved it.
- Selective resonance at these eigentone frequencies will inevitably colour the sound, especially in small rectangular rooms where the resonant frequencies are high enough to fall within the musical range.
- Then, if you take the lid off the piano to boost it, sometimes the room becomes too resonant and the sound goes all over the place.
- Move around while listening and the hum changes to a low, soothing throb or at particularly resonant points in the room, vibrates your skull rather unpleasantly.

Columbus, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland has rejected clemency for a condemned killer who locked a woman in a car trunk and burned her alive.
Strickland on Monday turned down the request for mercy from Daniel Wilson, scheduled to die Wednesday for the 1991 death of Carol Lutz in Elyria.
Wilson's attorney Daniel Doughten says he got the call from Strickland's office Monday morning.
Also Monday, Wilson asked the U.S. Supreme Court to delay his execution while he pursues appeals of his conviction on the grounds the jury heard misinformation about the indictment against him.
Wilson set the car on fire with Lutz inside despite her pleas that she would forget about the incident if he let her go.

The Inner Broker Resurfaces
The thing that all of us financial advisers have in common – no matter what size firm we work at or what letters we have after our names on the business card – is that most of us started out as brokers.
Back in the day, before charging 2% for buying and selling became a compliance nightmare, doing your clients' stocks was what you did. I'd say 90% of the FAs I know got their start as stockbrokers picking stocks and pitching them to clients. It was the way the business worked prior to 2003 when brokers became financial advisers or financial planners or wealth managers or whatever we all branched out to become.
And we still have it in us. Call it the Inner Broker. And in markets like these, it resurfaces like a demonic possession. This is not necessarily a bad thing as long as it is accompanied by restraint and a bit of context.
I was talking to a wirehouse guy from down south this week at our offices in New York, we'll call him Sean. Sean was in town for a research conference and popped by to talk shop. He's managing the majority of his clients' investments these days as opposed to just "managing the relationship" like so many of our brethren have taken to doing. He doesn't want the accounts he's responsible for to be on auto-pilot, completely in the hands of separate managers and mutual funds. "I know how to own the right fifteen stocks, how to supplement them with bonds, gold and real estate. And that's what the clients are paying me for at the end of the day."
Sean is not alone in wanting to take the reins a bit more here. My friend Kristen French, commenting on a Cerulli Associates study at Registered Rep, quantifies this trend:
Financial advisors at broker/dealers are increasingly taking the reins on their clients' fee-based accounts, according to a report out from Cerulli Associates today. That should continue to grow in the next few years, Cerulli says, estimating that so-called rep-as-portfolio-manager programs, in which the advisor makes individual investment decisions instead of leaving it to the home office or running each decision by the client, will more than double to $823 billion in 2015 from $406 billion today.
In my own practice, I run a mix of ETFs, I-Class Mutual Funds, Separately Managed Accounts and individual stocks and bonds. There are some asset classes we've got the analytical savoir faire to manage directly, and some areas where we'd prefer to be the super-allocator. It is also difficult to balance relationships and getting to know your clients when you're also trying to run every dollar in your book of business. Most advisers cannot do both effectively and most clients don't expect them to.
But in this market environment, all of a sudden the gloves are coming off and advisers seem to be willing to get their hands dirty again in stock selection and trading as opposed to just weightings and allocating. I have a theory as to why…
Take a look at the below chart Joe Weisenthal posted the other day from Nomura Securities, it illustrates the utter meltdown in stock correlations we've seen since the start of the year:
A drastic drop in volatility has allowed stocks to trade independently of one another and the broader averages for the first time in what feels like years. Joe says "we've instantly gone from one of the highest-ever correlation environments to one of the lowest."
What that means for the pros is that picking individual names is purposeful again – there is a rhyme and reason to doing it. Last fall, at the height of the Euro Debt Scare, more than 8 out of 10 S&P 500 stocks were moving in the same direction as the S&P itself each day. Against that backdrop, picking a semiconductor or a oil company was essentially a futile and thankless endeavor.
But that was then and this is now. And now, financial advisers seem to be reaching back to their roots and employing a skill set that had begun to feel almost vestigial. And I think that's a good thing for both the FAs themselves and the clients. It forces the so-called "relationship guys" to relearn the finer points of managing portfolios and investing in stocks. And besides, the whole risk on, risk off thing was getting to be a bit long in the tooth anyway.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have been the backbone of the Indian economy. That is both a good and a bad thing.
The good part first. Employing close to 40% of India's workforce and contributing 45% to India's manufacturing output, SMEs play a critical role in generating millions of jobs, especially at the low-skill level. The country's 1.3 million SMEs account for 40% of India's total exports.

Definition of nutation in English:
1.1 Astronomy A periodic oscillation of the earth's axis that causes the precession of the poles to follow a wavy rather than a circular path.
Example sentences
- There is a small periodic effect called nutation superimposed on precession caused by the motion of the perihelion of the Moon.
- In addition to the precession and nutation of the Earth's rotational axis, the Earth itself undergoes a wobble such that the crust wanders about the rotational axis with a combination of two periods and amplitudes.
- Bessel's work in determining the constants of precession, nutation and aberration won him further honours, such as a prize from the Berlin Academy in 1815.
