Ward threw Mark McChrystal straight back into action for their 2-0 win against Portsmouth on Saturday, shortly after he spent three months on the sidelines with a bout of tendinitis.
His return to action after just a few days' training came because of Tom Lockyer's one-match suspension and the centre-back is available again - giving Ward a welcome selection problem.
And should the Pirates boss decide to shuffle his pack he has the likes of Ellis Harrison and Preston loanee Chris Beardsley pushing for recalls at Plainmoor.

3. Is the strategy helping to reduce foreclosures?
4. What have financial institutions done with the taxpayers' money received so far?
5. Is the public receiving a fair deal?
6. What is the Treasury doing to help the American family?
7. Is the Treasury imposing reforms on financial institutions that are taking taxpayer money?

No I have a better job. I have skills that somebody values at greater than £3.5/hour. Unfortunately not everyone is as fortunate as me.

That's news to me. I thought 'everyone else' worked for an actual wage. How silly of me.
OfflineReputationRep:(Original post by internet tough guy)
Described by some as 'slave labour', its been on the news for a few days now. Just want to see how many here are against this scheme.
Probably the first thing I've heard out of this ****ing government that hasn't had me frothing at the mouth. Guess even Tories can have good ideas.
If you do not have a job and you were offered a job for £3.50 then I would argue that the latter would be preferable. Unless ofcourse you lose your JSA. Which I think should not happen. You should progressively lose your benefits as you earn more. That means you could get a low paying job, still be fine, and then work your way up. Rather than being put into the misery of permanent employment.
I am far more compassionate than you, chiefly because I understand this
You can't live on £3.50 an hour. Why do you think it's right to pay someone a wage that they cannot survive on?
The difference in my opinion should be topped up by government.
It's a voluntary scheme so it can't be slave labour. I don't understand how people can say it is.
It helps people get a job so its a good idea.
I think it should only be in the public sector, otherwise it's open to far too much abuse from private companies. Surely when a person is doing work for a private company for free but still receiving money from the taxpayer it just widens the gap? If the private company has a job they need to fill, they should just hire someone and pay them, no? Whether it's 2 weeks work or permanent, it's putting someone in a job and experience is experience.
I do also think that some sort of work experience should be mandatory for long term JSA claimants. I know that the majority of claimants do not abuse the system and are trying to find work, but there is always going to be the minority who are claiming for the free ride and it's simply not fair to those who want to work and those who already work. Mandatory work within the public sector or for charities as volunteers maybe? JSA should not be raised in line with the NMW because it would take away the incentive to come off benefits and find paid work.
Whilst we're at it, I think a flat rate for NMW should be introduced and the age tiers abolished. If an inexperienced 16 year old and an inexperienced 25 year old both work in the same position doing exactly the same job, I cannot in any way see how it is fair that one can legally be paid £3.68 per hour and the other £6.08 per hour. It should all be paid at £6.08 per hour regardless of age.

There is a scheme is called Mandatory Work Activity, and is only applied as a last resort for jobseekers who are frequently turning up late and not adhering to their agreement.
However, the main one people are objecting to is the Work Programme, this is mandatory for jobseekers aged 18-24 who have been unemployed for 9 months or more, or for anyone else unemployed for a year. Work placements on this can last for up to 6 months and are mandatory.

My friend owns a salon and he's thinking about sacking some of his staff so that he can get some of this free labour. He's also a Libdem councillor.
Wow, there's so much wrong in that BBC article, I don't know where to begin
Firstly, I'm not sure why they're suggesting that Tesco and Greggs are so against this. They took thousands in to the original scheme and have only now backed out and claim not to support it because it was a PR disaster. Painting them as against this is very misleading. It was Waterstones and Sainsbury's that lead the way in removing themselves from the scheme.
The four interviews are also misleading, but I suppose if they claim someone they asked on the street said it, they can't be held accountable for bad reporting.
The original incarnation was that large profitable companies take on those on benefits. The benefit claimants received well below minimum wage and were informed that they if they pulled out or declined, their 68 pounds job seekers benefits would be cut. The reason I was against it is that creates a disincentive for companies to create jobs. Why bother advertising a full time position when you can take on people not subject to the minimum wage?
The justification was two-fold. First that there was experience in it for those unemployed. The second was that there might be a job at the end of it.
In the first case, that experience was things that didn't need much more than a few days to gain. Stacking shelves and operating the checkouts. The second, that there might be a job at the end of it was laughable if you see the few hundred Tesco took on after many thousands through the system (about 1500 a month iirc, compared to 300 given a full time at the end of it, not even for that month, but over the course of the entire scheme up until they dropped it). The resulting employment was low compared to the intake. That's a lot of free man-hours. This is even before we get to the forced training schemes that don't actually teach anybody anything.
I'm all for gaining experience and I'm all for further training. However, the numbers that are successful in gaining work are so small that I'm not in favour of providing companies with a supply of empty cheap labour at the expense of someone who would have otherwise filled the position. The only counter I've heard from those in power has been 'not many people are annoyed, if you listen to them the country will face the consequences'. What consequences, nobody knows. The old 'you should be offended!' thing seems to be coming up a lot too and catching some people in its trap.
I should add that some companies have a voluntary alternative that is often paid and tops up the benefits as some have mentioned here. Some of these have very high post-experience employment figures too, but it is a very different beast from the 'get Britain working' programme. They're not the same thing and shouldn't be confused with each other.
Anyway, if you're interested in the issue, I would really advise doing some further research and taking a look at how many have already been through these schemes and the results. It's a biggie and has been going on for quite a while now. There's far more to this than the BBC article suggests.
Edit - wasn't supposed to be quite that long.
They've basically thrown up a big middle finger at the minimum wage... of course it's wrong.
It's even more ridiculous that the 'work experience' is in the private sector.
(Original post by Dr. Bassman)
They've basically thrown up a big middle finger at the minimum wage... of course it's wrong.
That is because the minimum wage is part of the problem.
It is a terrible law. It hurts the most vulnerable in society. It causes persistent unemployment. This means young peoples skills do not improve and they actually get worse. This is because when you are in work you get better at your job. Therefore their productivity will never improve. This means they will not get higher wages, over time, that pay more than the NMW. They are just left in a state of servitude to the state.
The NMW is not there to help the common man, it hurts the commom man. It is there to protect trade unions from competition.
Please spread this knowledge and alleviate the youth unemployment problem.
Polly Toynbee's all for it: http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion...s-1280874.html
its hardly slave labour as theyre getting paid for it with the JSA ... its better for the economy and the person to work for the money thats being hurled at them.
OfflineReputationRep:(Original post by SilverArch)
I'm against companies such as Tesco using it. They have massive profits - they can afford to actually employ people on full wages to do it. Such companies use JSA people to to the work of the full time employees, and cut the employees wages as a consequence. Which is just wrong, and will end up increasing unemployment not decreasing it. Giving companies incentive to lay off their employees so they can get cheaper workers from the government is not going to help the situation in any way
Small business, charities and similar that cannot afford any more paid emplyees, I'm fine with. Hopefully the experiences will look good on CV's
OfflineReputationRep:(Original post by internet tough guy)
Thats what I don't get, why not just limit this scheme only to the public sector. That way, there won't be criticisms of big companies making extra profit on the back of taxpayers' money, and there won't be concerns that this will put off firms from hiring actual paid workers.
It is voluntary not compulsory...how can a voluntary scheme be slave labour? Just don't say yes!
Wouldn't mind compulsory work experience, but there are problems with it now;
The JSA is not a minimum wage, and certainly not based on the hours done by these workers;
The government pays these companies for this out of tax funds,
They displace paid workers, and a large employer can just keep a 'merry-go-round' of placement staff to cut costs.
There is no formal development of skills, just vague notions of "teaches them how to get out of bed and look smart herp derp". Funnily, they arent so keen on them learning the vital skill of receiving the correct pay.
I think that it would be better for the economy, to suggest to the unemployed skills that are in short supply, and train them appropriately so they can do this work.
(Original post by Richiboi)
I think that it would be better for the economy, to suggest to the unemployed skills that are in short supply, and train them appropriately so they can do this work.
Secondly, the government does not have a very good record when it comes to training and education. There is a reason why people are on JSA. And one of the main ones is a poor education from the state. It is positively laughable to think the state could actually train people on JSA when it can barely teach students. Firms do a much better job of actually giving people practical skills. There is a reason why firms reject people because they do not have relevant work experience.
This program is not a good idea though, in the sense that there is a much better alternative. Abolish the NMW. Abolish JSA. Replace the system with a negative income tax. That means you get a certain amount of money and as you start to earn money you get this money taken off progressively. So if you were on £3/hour you would still get benefits to top you up. If you were on $£5/hour you would get less benefits than the person on £3/hour.
This would mean people would be able to take on low paying jobs, get skills, not be in crippling poverty (because they still get some benefits) and eventually move up the ladder rather than being stuck in a poverty cycle where they cannot get a job because they are, unfortunately, not worth the NMW.

I miraculously always find a spot, don't ask me how. It's very rare to get a parking spot unless you are willing to get up early in the morning. And I mean early!
They are usually a few spots in the regular student parking. Students that are in their third year or beyond their third year are the only ones that can park in this parking because in order to park you need a permit. The permit can only be obtained by the third year students or students that are beyond their third year. This parking is also easily flooded whenever a heavy rain falls.
There are too many students for just the few parking there are. Then if there are no police anybody even without permit may park and limit more the spaces available to park. I hate it!
I don't have a car,I walk every day to class. It's better to have class early so that you find a spot because after 9am,its IMPOSSIBLE. If you REALLY need to take your car,be sure to be in campus 35 minutes before your class starts to have some possibility to find a parking spot. Oh,and if it rains, the parking floods. There are videos on youtube about a jeep driving in the middle of the flood. You'll see what I mean.
Its a Nightmare! Parking in the University is in an area that floods under heavy rain. Its at the low end of a hill, making the walk to class a nightmare, not to mention its color coded, and Freshman's parking lots are outside of the campus itself. Even after being a Sophomore it is still a nightmare. All the parking lots are out in the sun, and with 90 degrees Fahrenheit being the norm around here, cars can get extremely hot. Plus with so many students, finding parking 20 minutes prior to class can be a real nightmare

Mural one: on the first trip to the Engineers dome-like structure the crew of the Prometheus encounter several murals/ designs that appear to have been created by the Engineers. The first mural shows a xenomorph-like figure in an almost Christ-like/ god-like pose, and the physical form depicted is not dissimilar to the alien that we see emerge from the dead Engineer at the very end of Prometheus. At the base of the mural is what appears to be an altar, which contains a glowing green crystal.
The key point that I took from this scene is that it conveys that the xenomorph, at least in the form shown here, existed and was known to the Engineers long before the events of Prometheus and Alien. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the style and positioning of the mural conveys that the Engineers hold this creature in high esteem- it's entirely plausible that they may even ascribe to it some sort of religious significance.
Mural two: the other mural appears to show an Engineer giving life to / creating something akin to a xenomorph hybrid. The layout of the mural is hauntingly reminiscent of Michelangelos Creation of Adam in the Vaticans Sistine Chapel. The subject of the creation lacks the grace and elegance of the original xenomorph in the first mural- it is stumped over and hunched and certainly different in style- which is why I term it a hybrid.
My theory: the first mural depicts a creature that the Engineers encountered in eons past. They revere the creature- viewing it in the same way that Ash talks about the titular antagonist of Alien - a perfect organismits structural perfection is matched only by its hostility..."
The Engineers are lovers of biotechnology and an organism that they considered genetically superior to themselves is clearly something that these lovers of genetic manipulation would revere and hold in awe. In their search across unimaginable distances of space and time this ancient true xenomorph may well have been the only type of life that the Engineers had discovered that they themselves had not created. The green crystal at the base contains the genome/ genetic remnants of this ancient creature, rather like the amber resin used in the movie Jurassic Park to re-create the dinosaurs.
Using these genetic remnants, the Engineers have been trying to replicate what they perceive to be the pinnacle of evolution and natural selection- they have not yet succeeded. The second mural serves to illustrate that the Engineers are indeed cosmic creators and superior genetic engineers: the exceptional genetic code of the original xenomorph has been used by them at length to further enhance their existing biotechnology, utilised in i) their bio-suits (which show xenomorph style markings and structures), ii) in their croissant-shaped ships (which appear to exhibit some bio-mechanical attributes), and iii) in their bio-weapons: most noticeably the black liquid...

*** Part of my Games Series ***
Terrain Difficulty: Easy (flat, .5 mile RT)
Status: alive
Farkel is a game in which players roll 6 dice for points, trying to be the first to reach a set score. After rolling, scoring dice are removed and remaining dice can be re-rolled if desired, or accumulated points are recorded and turn is ended. The dice that are re-rolled can't be used with removed dice to create a bigger score (e.g. adding a re-rolled six to three removed sixes to make 4 of a kind). If all dice score, they can all be re-rolled and turn continues. If no dice score, it is a Farkel and all accumulated points for that turn are lost. Scoring is as follows: 1 Five=50, 2 Fives=100, 1 One=100, 2 Ones=200, 3 Ones=300, 3 Twos=200, 3 Threes=300, 3 Fours=400, 3 Fives=500, 3 Sixes=600, 4 of a kind=1000, 5 of a kind=2000, 6 of a kind=3000, Straight (1-6)=1500, 3 Pairs=1500 & 2 Triplets=2500. I have created a Farkel game for you to play and you must get 4000 points in 10 turns to see the clues to this minibox. Good luck!

'Breakfast' to be enjoyed Sunday evening
TEMECULA -- Before Blake Edwards and Henri Mancini could think "Pink," they had "Breakfast."
With an eye toward Valentine's Day, the Art House at The Movie Experience in Temecula will showcase the timeless comedy "Breakfast at Tiffany's" at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Edwards and Mancini -- influential as a director and composer, respectively -- combined to create a different mood in the 1961 film, which was based on one of the most famous works from author Truman Capote. Edwards, who later teamed with Mancini in the first incarnation of the "Pink Panther" comedies, lightened up Capote's novella about a woman trying to make her way in the big city.
Mancini also made an impression on American pop music with his contribution to the film. "Moon River" was lauded as an instant classic. The sheet music for the song along has sold more than 1 million copies.
Audrey Hepburn was cast as the lead character, Holly Golightly. Marliyn Monroe was originally considered, but Hepburn captured the hearts of audiences with her comedic touch.
George Peppard plays author Paul Varjak.
Opening activities are scheduled for 6 p.m. The Movie Experience is at 27531 Ynez Road, Temecula. Call 698-7800 for recorded information.

Prehaps a stupid question:
Whenever I want to link to a certain post, now I do this by linking to index?p=230 or something like that, which results in that single post. Because it's a weblog which consists of posts that sometimes interact with eachother (one can i.e. not be understood without the one preceding or following it), I would prefer to have my links made to go to that particular post in the monthly page. In theory index.php/m=200502#post_id???
Can this be done?

I have an IT background outside of the web area: know old style HTML, little CSS, nothing about creating database driven websites.
I *had* spent quite some time investigating Joomla as my 'easy to create' website core tool; Artisteer as my easy to create design; Caspio as my easy to create web database. Then I ran into a web pro who has his own web business (has a Masters degree in this n that) and he said "stay away from Joomla as it is full of security holes, look at WordPress it's not just for kids!".
I then started to look at WordPress and here I am.
So is there anyone here that knows *both* products well and can steer me in one direction or another. I know it's probabaly very hard to find such a person but one has to ask.

Ringside Seat on Corporate Disasters
By ALISON LEIGH COWAN
Published: January 2, 1992
Harold D. Jones has had a front-row seat on the excesses of an era. As the United States trustee in charge of administering all bankruptcy cases in New York, Connecticut and Vermont, he has seen hundreds of thousands of parties file for bankruptcies. And he says he does not expect much letup.
"Come January, we're going to get inundated because Christmas may not be so wonderful, and many retailers may fall in," he predicted in an interview last month.
More than six million companies and individuals have marched into the nation's bankruptcy courts since 1978 -- more than all the bankruptcy filings up to that point from the turn of the century. Gathering Those Who Are Owed
On a recent Monday, Mr. Jones, who is 37 years old, brought creditors of The Daily News together at the Vista Hotel in Manhattan to select a committee that would monitor the newspaper's recovery efforts.
Four days later, he led another meeting at the hotel, this time for creditors of the Orion Pictures Corporation. The group was a bicoastal mix of advertising and insurance representatives, as well as lawyers for Jodie Foster, Kevin Costner, Woody Allen and other Hollywood stars.
Mr. Jones did find time that week for an interview -- his collar unbuttoned, his tie askew -- in his cramped offices at One Bowling Green, an ornate Federal office building near Battery Park. An aide interrupted him with the news that the Maxwell Communication Corporation had filed for Chapter 11 protection in Manhattan.
"That could pyramid," sighed Mr. Jones, who knows from experience that subsidiaries often follow their parent companies into court.
In a job requiring the talents of an emergency-room surgeon, an undertaker and a football referee, Mr. Jones's task is all the harder because so many of the most spectacular bankruptcies have occurred in the Northeast. While annual bankruptcy filings have risen 84 percent nationwide since 1986, they have grown 157 percent in the three-state region that Mr. Jones supervises.
Nearly one-third of the largest companies, by assets, that have gone bankrupt in the last five years -- often the messiest cases -- have found ways to file in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which is within Mr. Jones's jurisdiction. Covering a swath between Manhattan and Poughkeepsie, the Southern District is generally thought to have judges who are friendlier to bankruptcy filers and too busy to challenge the high fees charged by lawyers and other professional attendants.
"The burgeoning of massive Chapter 11 cases has been in the last five years, and Harry has been in the eye of that storm," said Roy Babitt, a former chief bankruptcy judge for the Southern District who is now a lawyer in private practice. Chores of the Trade
The tasks that fall to Mr. Jones and 20 other United States trustees like him are not the nitty-gritty questions of law that the bankruptcy courts tackle. Rather, they are the less glamorous, but crucial, chores that arise whenever a company or individual seeks bankruptcy protection.
Mr. Jones, who has 73 government employees working for him and a $5.7 million annual budget, hires lawyers to oversee desperate situations where the filers cannot work out their own problems. It his then his job to keep an eye on these hired hands, who are also called trustees. Mr. Jones's staff reviews all payments by the bankrupt party, including fees to professionals, and selects creditor committees.
And in those rare situations where a company has enough assets to justify the step, his office names a shareholders committee. "We didn't appoint an equity committee at Pan Am," Mr. Jones recalled, noting that the airline was too far underwater to bother. Wielding Power
In a city where a growing number of professionals have come to rely on the boom in bankruptcies for their own livelihoods, Mr. Jones wields enormous power. The trustees he appoints can charge as much as 3 percent on all payments made in bankruptcy -- a slice of everything from the trifles spent on office supplies to the larger checks sent to creditors when a company finally settles on a plan of reorganization. Many big bankruptcy cases, as with Drexel Burnham Lambert, can devour $5 million in professional fees a month.
Previously, many tasks performed by trustees like Mr. Jones had been performed by the bankruptcy judges themselves until Congress, in 1978, began transferring such responsibilities to the Justice Department. Judges would be more impartial, it was thought, if they were not ruling on motions brought by trustees they had appointed and not hearing information outside a formal court setting.
Under the current system, some lawyers complain that trustees sometimes overstep their bounds by getting too involved in cases. But in general, those who pass through Mr. Jones's office, as well as bankruptcy judges and his peers in other regions, call him an innovative and fair overseer.
Guidelines he helped to introduce in the Southern District this summer -- making professionals account for their time down to every six minutes -- have found their way to other districts. "The book is being written in New York," said Harrison J. Goldin, New York City's former Comptroller and the recently appointed trustee for Gaston & Snow, a Boston-based law firm that used its New York office as a rationale for filing in Manhattan. Approach Is Criticized
Mr. Jones's harshest critics include would-be trustees who have yet to land any of the high-profile, high-paying assignments he doles out.

Deals and Transactions
Fosun Pharma's (SHA: 600196) long-in-the-works IPO on the Hong Kong exchange is scheduled to take place this month, raising a diminished $600 million. The company received regulatory approval for the offering five months ago, but market conditions have held the transaction back until now - and caused the company to drop the projected take from $800 million. There have been no IPOs in Hong Kong for the last three months.
RuiYi, a San Diego-Shanghai drug discovery company, has obtained world-wide rights to an IL-6 mAb from ArGEN-X, a Dutch firm. The molecule is being developed as a potential treatment for cancer and inflammatory diseases. RuiYi's operations are in Shanghai's Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, while its management offices are in San Diego. RuiYi focuses its expertise on biologic drugs, using them to target G protein coupled receptors.
Vital Therapies, a San Diego company that is developing a device to treat liver failure, has closed a $16 million capital round from its existing investors, the first of a planned $76 million multi-stage commitment. Last year, Vital Therapies raised $2 million from Jilin Aodong Medicine (SHE: 000623) and was slated to receive an additional $25 million in six months if Vital Therapies was successful in obtaining SFDA approval of its device. The approval was not secured.
Sanofi (NYSE: SNY) and Sinopharm (China State Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry) signed a MOU in Shanghai to conduct joint research into rare diseases (see story). Although details haven't been released, the collaboration will apparently survey the incidence of rare diseases in China, then seek to understand causes and find treatments. In 2011, Sanofi paid $20 billion to acquire US-based Genzyme, a specialist in rare diseases.
MediStem (OTCQB:MEDS) of San Diego formed a stem cell collaboration with Superview Biotechnology Co., a subsidiary of Yinhuan Holding (see story). The two companies will use MediStem's proprietary stem cell lines to screen monoclonal antibodies. Their goal will be to assess whether antibodies can modulate the activity of stem cells that already exist in the body. The companies will evaluate various candidates jointly, as well as apply for grants and share research data.
Trials and Approvals
A China National Biotech Group (CNBG) vaccine for Japanese encephalitis is about to be the first vaccine from China approved for use by the World Health Organization (WHO). Once the vaccine is awarded "prequalification status," NGOs such as the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) can purchase it for distribution in less-developed areas as the world. The Chengdu Institute, one of China Biotech's subsidiaries, developed and produces the vaccine.
CRO/CMO News
QPS Holdings, an international CRO based in the US, has opened an office in Beijing from which it will offer clinical-stage services. The new office will be part of QPS Qualitix, a QPS majority-owned subsidiary that already has facilities in Taiwan and India. According to QPS Qualitix, it has been operating in China through partners. Building on that experience, it will offer customized plans to clients who seek China approval of their products.
Disclosure: none.

The first appointment was scheduled for 2/9/13 between 9am and 11am. On 2/9/13 I had gotten a baby sitter for my child and got over to the house to wait for the representative, they called at 9am and rescheduled.
The second appointment was set for 2/11/13 between 7pm and 9pm. Once again, had baby sitter for my child and was on the way to the house and they called at 7 and canceled. At this point I declined the option to reschedule. I was not going to give them a third chance.
The following day (2/12/13) I got phone calls from a manager(Petey Austin) and a corp office employee begging for another opportunity to come out, they both offered discounts and the manager promised he would personally come out and do the estimate this time and would make sure it got done. Well, I regrettably gave them another chance.
I scheduled for Mr. Austin to come out on 2/14/13 at 7:30pm. He didnt show up and this time nobody even called! I called him 15 min after he was supposed to be there and he said he wouldn't be able to make it due to another appoinment. Then had the nerve to tell me the other appt was for an entire house like it was more important than my job because he thought it was a bigger job! He obviously didnt realize I need 6 bedrooms and a flight of stairs carpeted!
I am very dissatisfied with their lack of planning and customer service skills. I cant imagine actually purchasing flooring from them and having to go through the installing process. I wonder how long it would actually take to have my carpet installed!

I waited about 15 mionutes and no one picked up the call so I looked further on line and found that many people had received the same invoice from this company and none had ever heard of them. The invoice looks legit but it is not and if you read everything on the invoice you can see that it is just a solicitation for business. They make it look like you've already signed up for their services as the invoice had all of your info plus an account number and a payment due date.
I caught them in their scam but I'm sure many businesses will pay it, especuially larger businesses where the bookkeeper receives and pays all of the bills. Perhaps CBS "60 Minutes" should look into these scam artists.

Quiet for a while… back soon – and tips to help you hit a writing deadline
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on November 2, 2012
If you've read this week's Undercover Soundtrack you might have seen the note that said the next post would be up in two weeks' time. I'm taking a short break so it'll be quiet here too.
In the meantime, I'd planned to make a post appear magically from the archives to jolly along NaNoWriMos (and anyone who needs tips to meet a writing deadline). It began 'Are you finding NaNo easier than you thought, or harder?' and was supposed to wait until this weekend, but WP gremlins (or butterfingered me) shot it out prematurely. Immediately I got a bemused comment from a subscriber, convinced he'd got his time machine working. Anyway, here's the post, if you haven't already seen it – a NaNo routine to help you finish.

Well, I suppose it's right to call it football; there's a ball and you use your feet to control it. I mean, it's more logical than american football where you only use feet during kickoffs (as far as I know). Why don't we start calling it american rugby? It resembles it much more closely.

Was given these cutters as a gift by my very kind mother in law who knows that her grandson (aged 2) is obsessed with dinosaurs. I used the recipe from the lakeland website, substituting custard for extra flour and adding some vanilla essence. My son and I made stacks of tasty little dinosaurs. Highly recommended!

Best practices include tips and recommendations to help you use Backup Exec Agent for Oracle on Windows or Linux Servers (Oracle Agent) effectively. For more information about the Oracle Agent, see the Backup Exec Administrator's Guide.
The following best practices help you use the Oracle Agent effectively:
Enable the Oracle archive log mode and the Oracle automatic archival of log files.
Know the DBID and other important configuration details of the database.
Know the names of the init<SID>.ora and the spfiles for the instances on the Oracle server.
Do not store the RMAN Repository on the same server that holds the database that you want to back up.
Back up your current control file when you run a Database Administrator (DBA) initiated job. If you have a backup of the current control file, then you do not have to search media to find a control file that is available for recovery.
Test recovery scenarios often to get comfortable with the restore procedures. Oracle recovery can be complex and is often time-sensitive due to the nature of the data involved. Symantec recommends that you coordinate test plans and configuration activities with your Oracle DBA to be sure that restore procedures are confirmed.
Use RMAN scripts to do the following:
The following best practices should be considered when you back up Oracle databases:
Take a full backup whenever you make structural changes to a database.
Do not delete archived log files unless you have two confirmed backups of each log.
Create Oracle-specific media sets and backup jobs for the following reasons:
RMAN can manage media retention and can communicate to the Backup Exec server that backup sets are expired. RMAN can successfully manage the media's retention period as long as unrelated backup sets are not present. Unrelated backup sets may have retention periods that are longer than the RMAN retention period.
Media sets for Oracle backups should have a retention period that is greater than the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME setting. By default, the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME is 7 days. If the media sets for the Oracle backups have a greater retention period, backup sets are not overwritten and RMAN is not updated.
When you configure multiple job streams in Oracle, additional resources such as file systems can cause more devices than expected to allocate drives.
Load balance Oracle jobs between managed Backup Exec servers in a CASO environment. However, this scenario means that archived log file backups may reside on multiple managed Backup Exec servers, which makes restores complicated.
Consider port re-assignments when you use RALUS in a Linux environment. Applications such as Webmin that uses port 10000 can interfere with RALUS operations.
Enable the Oracle block change tracking for faster incremental backups.
Enable Backup Exec compression when you configure general options for backup jobs.
Ensure that you enter the fully qualified domain name of the Oracle server when you add it to list of servers on the Backup and Restore tab.
Ensure that you add the fully qualified domain name of the Oracle server and the logon account name to the Backup Exec server's list of Oracle servers and authentication credentials.
The following best practices must be considered if you use the Oracle 12c database:
Take a full backup of a container database (CDB) whenever there are any structural changes, such as addition of a new pluggable database (PDB).
Include the root of the CDB in the backups to ensure that metadata of the CDB is always backed up.
Run the database in the archive log mode to ensure that the database can be recovered to point in time.
If the CDB is in no-archive log mode, then before backing up the PDBs, shut down the CDB. To avoid shutting down the CDB, you can either run the database in archive log mode or run a DBA-initiated backup of PDBs.
Oracle recommends users to not only restore the root because it might cause metadata inconsistencies. Instead, you should recover the whole CDB.
If the PDB point-in-time (PIT) restore fails, then consecutive jobs might also fail with the following error message:
ORA-19852: Error creating services for auxiliary instance.
This error occurs because the previous failed PIT restore attempts were not cleaned up properly. To solve this issue, you must clean the failed database PIT restore attempts. Perform the following steps to clean up the failed auxiliary service creation attempts:
Use the Database (DB) PIT recovery package to clean up the auxiliary instance in case of failed PIT jobs:
SQL> exec dbms_backup_restore.manageauxinstance ('DBPITR',1);
Also, run the last set of commands in the RMAN script to clear the RMAN configuration.

'Bunny' From Harrison Competes for Oscar
By THOMAS STAUDTER
Published: March 21, 1999
HARRISON— A LONELY old rabbit, hopping around her kitchen with the aid of a walker, begins to prepare a carrot cake when she is visited by memories of her dear, departed mate -- and a troublesome moth. After an exhausting battle with the winged intruder, which leads to its inclusion in the cake batter, the rabbit wakes from a fretful nap to investigate a strange occurrence emanating from inside her kitchen oven. Suddenly, she finds herself embarking on a journey into a new realm.
Tonight at the 71st Academy Awards ceremony in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, the floppy-eared, twitchy star of ''Bunny,'' a seven-minute film created at Blue Sky Studios here, hopes to top her four other competitors in the Best Animated Film category and return to Westchester with a 24-karat-gold-plated Oscar.
Seated among the Hollywood celebrities awaiting announcement of the winners will be Chris Wedge, the writer and director of ''Bunny,'' and his wife, Jeanne Markel, while back at Blue Sky's offices the computer animation company's staff and friends, with their fingers crossed, will be gathered in front of a large-screen television set to watch the proceedings.
''I think we have an excellent shot at winning the award,'' said David Brown, chief executive officer of Blue Sky Studios. ''We've reviewed the other four entries and feel confident.''
To a certain extent the efforts of the three dozen animators and technical artists at Blue Sky who worked on ''Bunny'' were already acknowledged when the short film won over a highly touted field that included ''Antz'' and ''The Prince of Egypt'' and took the Grand Prix trophy at the Imagina festival in Monaco and Paris in January.
With a story that mixes dark humor and sentimentality, ''Bunny'' is unusual enough as it is, but it is the film's extraordinarily realistic look that sets it apart from other computer animations.
In a sense a showcase for a computer-rendering program developed at Blue Sky called CGI Studios, this software, through a ''radiosity'' or ray-tracing'' process, mimics the myriad qualities of light as they are perceived naturally. To give other animators an idea of how flexible the light-rendering program is ''Bunny'' features scenes that bring its heroine close to various sources of light and also presents objects that are shadowed so richly as to suggest dimensionality, thus making the feisty rabbit seem even more alive, her kitchen and baking operation as real as real.
''Often kids watching 'Bunny' think the character is a puppet, which is a real compliment,'' said Mr. Brown, a 60-year-old Ossining resident and former advertising executive who helped start Blue Sky. ''The ultimate accolade is when people think what we're doing is not computer animation, that somehow it is real.''
Thanks to ''Bunny'' and a wealth of well-regarded television commercials and work done in feature films, Blue Sky Studios is on the verge of becoming the next big player in computer animation. Nearing a deal with 20th Century Fox, the company's majority owner, to make a full-length animated film of its own, the company feels it is just a matter of time before Blue Sky will stand alongside the movie industry's two Los Angeles-based animation giants: Pixar, a branch of Disney, and Pacific Data Images, a production partner with Dreamworks Pictures.
Blue Sky Studios was formed for the most part out of the ashes of two earlier computer-animation ventures -- MAGI, one of the earliest companies in the field and an offshoot of the research from Los Alamos National Laboratory in the 1950's, and Synthavision, which drew attention for its work on ''Tron,'' the first feature-length film to use computer animation.
In February 1987, Blue Sky's six original partners -- Mr. Wedge, Mr. Brown, Alison Brown and Michael Ferraro (both of whom have since left the company) and two veteran software innovators, Carl Ludwig and Dr. Eugene Troubetskoy -- rented a small office in Briarcliff Manor and began work on their radiosity software. Because of tight finances, though, Blue Sky set up a production arm to solicit business from advertising agencies.
Throughout the years, though, Mr. Wedge, Blue Sky's vice president of creative development, would take some spare moments to work on a pet project that was to spotlight a rabbit.
''I wanted to get away from science fiction and plastic characters as subjects and instead concentrate on something rooted in nature or in story books,'' Mr. Wedge said. '' 'Bunny' started out as a character study more than anything else, and after coming up with this bitter old rabbit it was just a matter of creating a story around her.''
Mr. Ludwig said, ''For years 'Bunny' was such a back-burner project, something magical Chris and the rest of us always wanted to do.''
Mr. Wedge added: ''The best thing was that 'Bunny' was outside of the pressure of our normal production work. We were able to work on it until we liked it.''
Most of the production work included Blue Sky's television commercials, which catch the eye, including a multitude of different fruits and insects, toys, appliances, Christmas ornaments and products cavorting in 30- and 60-second life spans.

Lancaster Farming: USDA updates guidelines for avian flu plan
April 18, 2016
Last year's outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian flu in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest yielded plenty of lessons for poultry producers. USDA is incorporating those lessons into its planning for the next time it has to indemnify poultry farm owners following an outbreak. Chrislyn Wood, a veterinarian with USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and Gregory Martin, a Penn State Extension poultry specialist, discussed how that will affect producers' flock plans at a recent Penn State Poultry Health Seminar.

Both show how good Ford is at pickup design, giving its trucks polished, well-detailed exteriors and high-end interiors that somehow still look rugged.

Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a pale yellow, solid organic nitrogen compound used chiefly as an explosive, prepared by stepwise nitration of toluene. Because TNT melts at 82° C (178° F) and does not explode below 240° C (464° F), it can be melted in steam-heated vessels and poured into casings. It is relatively insensitive to shock and cannot be exploded without a detonator. For these reasons it is the most favoured chemical explosive, extensively used in munitions and for demolitions.

There just zero interest in this stock right now....too bad.
take a look at the chart and (lack of) earnings over the last few years and you'll see why people might have little, or have lost, interest in VOLC
I concede you state a good case. Maybe one man's capital investment is another's poor cost control. To play devil's advocate, my point might be that you could have said more or less the same thing for the last couple of years. While revenue growth has not been too shabby, even respectable (although not spectacular), they have failed to control costs well enough to generate a profit. IMO, at this point, that outweighs the capital investment theme, and this is what is pressuring the stock (along with unspectacular revenue growth). For VOLC, which has been public for a while, it's put up or shut up time. Which is unfortunate, given the overall economic climate. I was speculating in VOLC in early 2007, when it was bouncing between 17 and 20. Had some shares at 20ish, it dropped while I was otherwise occupied, and I decided to hold. Been selling covered calls since, hoping interest in VOLC would pick up again. Have managed to reduce my cost basis to under 18, which is not too bad considering where VOLC has been, price-wise, for most of that time. Have now been short the Jan 17.50s for a few weeks, making a nice profit there. May cover before earnings, just in case.
Lack of earnings is due to the build out of the direct salesforce globally. Once this is finished, the operating leverage will be in place to drive significant bottom line growth as more products are leveraged off the same salesforce. VOLC has invested to gain significant share and they are realizing that goal big time.Stock prices are determined by future earnings and I see huge upside as SG&A flattens out on a dollar basis and sales continue to grow.
No one cares. Or, certainly not enough care.This stock is like still water.Wish it were otherwise.
Well then STOP Complaining & post something interesting!
Why don't you or someone else?

This is a decent robe for the price. It's soft enough, and roomy, like you'd expect from a terry robe. What keeps this robe, even for the price at 4 stars instead of 5, is the weight. I guess from the description, we were expecting something a little heavier. The price is equivalent with the quality. Overall, it's a fine robe.

I'm debating whether to return this robe or to keep it and be less than thrilled. As other reviewers have noted, the robe just doesn't close sufficiently in front so that when I sit, it opens up. I ordered the S/M, as I wear a size 4 or 6, but it still doesn't close completely in front. The fabric is nice and the color is a rich brown, but I can see being really uncomfortable come a cold winter morning
