Sogo Bakery
Sogo Bakery
1600 South De Anza Blvd.
San Jose, CA 95129
There's been a couple Sogo bakeries popping up in the Bay Area. In addition to having their own stores, a lot of the Ranch 99 bakeries have been taken over by Sogo. I was pretty sad to see Sogo take over a lot of the Ranch 99 bakeries because the Sogo products cost a lot more and I don't think they are that much better.
After lunch with my mom, we passed by a Sogo Bakery. I can't resist browsing chinese bakeries, so of course I had to take a look. It was your usual array of chinese breads and cakes. Baby Bro seemed really impressed with the cakes and kept taking pictures. He thought the fact that the tiramisu cake actually says "tiramisu" was so clever.
They had some egg tarts that were on special for $1, so I picked up two. I had hoped to take pictures when I got home, but I brought them back to San Diego and they got smashed. They tasted alright, but they didn't have the egg tart shell that I prefer.
However, when I saw these panda cookies, I was so excited. A small box of panda cookies were being sold for $2.50. My mom didn't understand my excitement. These panda cookies were so adorable! The cutest panda-shaped foods I have ever seen. I could eat these all day.
This is what the package looks like. The package is packed with cookies. Mine is already opened with several cookies missing.
The cookies are basically a vanilla and chocolate butter cookie. I'm not sure how the made these cookies. I'm used to panda shaped baked goods being blobs of chocolate dough strategically placed to make a panda face shape. However the details of these pandas make it seem like the eyes and such were drawn on. However, the black chocolate cookie portions go all the way through the entire cookie.
I would love to get my hand on more of these adorable cookies. Unfortunately, no sogo bakeries in San Diego.

I LOVE those panda cookies!! OMG. I about passed out when I saw those pics. I wonder how they get the cookies so detailed. I'm going to go on their web page to see if they ship those cookies. Probably not though huh? I don't think it would be worth the shipping costs anyways
Heehee! Aren't they the cutest ever?! I already think panda stuff is cute, but these are ridiculously cute. Maybe they use some sort of panda mold to make the cookies. I don't know how they get it so detailed and so cute. I don't think they ship the cookies. =( I checked their website because I want more. These are so fun to eat and I think they would look really cute on cupcakes too.
Whee! Those are so cute! Thanks for sharing the photos.
hey! I recognize those cookies. You can buy them at T&T Supermarket, in Vancouver, BC. I get them all the time in their bakery section. My girls love them. They also have other shapes, but the panda is my favourite. I believe they either use an extruder or use the same technique as checkerboard cookies because they sell those too. I was going to attempt making them, but they would require too much finicky shaping. Once you get a log, you would simply slice the panda shapes. That's why they kind of look wonky; from the pressure of the knife
You're welcome! I really loved them and was excited to take pictures of them for the blog.
Interesting! Vancouver is pretty far for me, but I'm glad you can find them there. I wish I could find whatever it is they use to make the cookies. I'd love to be able to make them.
omggg. so so so cute! those panda cookiessss are the cutesttttt thing!
omg those panda cookies are adorable!!
I agree! I'm a bit obsessed with them at the moment. I'm trying to find out how they made them. been looking for molds or other things online, but I can't find anything.
I'm glad you like them! Now if only someone could tell me how to make my own.
the panda cookies are adorable but those cakes are amazing!
The cakes do look pretty! I'm going to have to try one one of these days

2nd Quarter 2014 Commentary - ASTON/Silvercrest Small Cap Fund
2nd Quarter 2014
The 5% to 6% increase in U.S. equities, depending on one's choice of index, reflected a sanguine second quarter. U.S. equity investors shrugged off the quarter's chief anxieties: violence in Ukraine, the slowdown in China, deflation in Europe, a first-quarter contraction of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), and anxiety about whether the Federal Reserve (the Fed) will raise rates sooner than investors expect.
For small-cap stocks within the Russell 2000 Value Index, Utilities and Energy were strong outperforming sectors, continuing the first quarter's trend. On the downside, Materials, Technology, and Consumer Staples were relative laggards. Quality trends were mixed for the quarter but an overall modest bias toward higher quality issues helped the Fund's relative performance.
The Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index benchmark during the quarter. Sector allocation in terms of over- and underweight positions did not have a material impact on the Fund's relative performance. Encouragingly, the Fund's relative sector performance improved over a poor first quarter, outperforming in five of nine sectors. The best relative performance came from the Energy sector, led by Bonanza Creek Energy. The company responded favorably to news of acreage expansion in the Wattenberg Field. Within the Producer Durables sector, US Ecology gained after announcing the proposed acquisition of EQ - The Environmental Quality Company, in a deal that appears to make great strategic and financial sense.
The Fund's weakest relative sector performance came from the Materials sector. Within the sector, Stepan Company has missed earnings forecasts for several quarters and has reduced guidance. We have concluded that Stepan is not quite as appealing as a specialty chemical company as we had originally thought upon initiation into the portfolio. Accordingly, with our conviction relatively low for a near-term turnaround, we have decided to sell our holding to redeploy the assets in higher conviction ideas. The Fund also performed relatively poorly in Utilities, where MGE Energy was a weak performer.
Buys and Sells
New positions purchased during the quarter included Matador Resources and Standex International Corp. Matador is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on unconventional (shale) oil production in the Eagle Ford and Permian basins. We like Matador's management and believe the company can successfully exploit its acreage positioning; we find the shares attractive at roughly peer group valuations.
Standex is a multi-industry company we have followed for several years. About half of the company's profits come from the commercial food service equipment markets, with the balance from industrial, automotive, and aerospace markets. The company has restructured its portfolio of businesses over the past few years, which has led to significant margin improvement. We see opportunity for further margin expansion through restructuring and consolidation. Shares of Standex are underfollowed by analysts on Wall Street, with only one sell-side firm covering the company. We think one priority of the new CEO will be to increase the visibility of the company among the investment community, which could be a potential catalyst for multiple expansion.
We eliminated holdings of Drew Industries, ReachLocal, and Stepan Co. during the period. We sold Drew as it appeared fairly to modestly overvalued following solid performance over the past year. Reluctantly, we decided to eliminate the Fund's small holding of ReachLocal, as the revamping of the sales force under a new CEO injected greater risk into the investment thesis.
We think the Fund's portfolio is reasonably valued given the current levels of interest rates, inflation, and corporate balance sheet strength. We are encouraged by the recent uptick in merger and acquisition activity, and we believe there is increasing pressure, in part fueled by activist investors, for companies to redeploy seemingly excessive levels of cash on corporate balance sheets. We remain convinced that many of the Fund's holdings would make attractive acquisition targets for larger companies or private equity investors. In meetings with company management teams, it appears that economic trends in the U.S. continue to improve, with stabilization continuing in Europe. As we reported last quarter, trends in China appear more mixed. While a market correction can occur at any time, with pundits competing to handicap the odds of the Fed tightening and the assumed negative impact on equities, we remain reasonably optimistic that over the balance of the year we can potentially build on the gains of the first half.
Silvercrest Asset Management Group
New York, NY
As of June 30, 2014, Bonanza Creek Energy comprised 1.70% of the portfolio's assets, US Ecology – 2.77%, EQ - The Environmental Quality Company – 0.00%, MGE Energy – 1.66%, Matador Resources – 1.71%, and Standex International Corp. – 1.61%.
Note: Small-cap stocks are considered riskier than large-cap stocks due to greater potential volatility and less liquidity.

Pakistan can brave sanctions : Economists
ISLAMABAD, May 27 (APP) : Pakistan can overcome the possible sanctions in the wake of a nuclear test if the Government increases exports and lowers heavy borrowing and the nation observers austerity, economic experts said Tuesday. Defence and political analysts appearing in a PTV programme also said the country should attach high priority to long-term security interests. The economists voiced the optimism that the nation can defy the demon of sanctions by bringing down its consumption rate. "Our per capita income is higher than the Indians and in the recent years the Pakistani economy has picked up, if we increase our exports and bring down heavy borrowing and we should not be in trouble if sanctions are imposed on us in the wake of a nuclear test," economist A R Kemal said.
Nawaz appreciates the pilots' efficiency during hijacking drama
ISLAMABAD, May 27 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz while appreciating the efficiency of the pilot and co-pilot of the PIA's hijacked plane has termed it a great demonstration of courage and wisdom. "Every Pakistani is full of such spirit and has the courage of rendering any kind of sacrifice for the security and integrity of the country", said the Prime Minister while talking to the pilots of the plane on telephone. The Prime Minister congratulated the pilots and their families on their courageous attitude during the critical time of hijacking on behalf of the whole nation, adding, "the nation is proud of you". "The nation which has such alert-minded and brave people can never be defeated by any power", he stressed.
No provision of national government in constitution:Soomro
RAWALPINDI, May 27 (APP) : Speaker National Assembly Illahi Bakhsh Soomro Tuesday said that there was no provision of national government in the constitution of the country. He was responding to the demand made by the leader of opposition Ms Benazir Bhutto, the other day regarding formation of a national government, so as to conduct a nuclear explosion. Speaking at the Meet the Press programme of Rawalpindi Press Club, the Speaker said, "the Parliament is the appropriate forum for expressing such views." Ms Bhutto, he said, should have made the suggestion in the House. He said he had no hesitation if a joint sitting of the Parliament is summoned by the government to discuss the issue confronting the nation. The next session, he said, is scheduled for June 6. The Speaker, however, was appreciative of the government policy for prudently handling the matters following five nuclear explosions by India. "Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is still considering the matter. He is cool, cautious and a great patriot and will take decisions in the best interest of nation."
Benazir's attempt to malign army in response to revelations by former SSP: PML Spokesman
ISLAMABAD, May 27 (APP): A spokesman of Pakistan Muslim League has strongly criticised the recent statements of the Leader of the Opposition in which she has tried to viciously implicate the members of Pakistan's armed forces and judiciary in her husband's illegal relations with drug barons at home and abroad. In a statement issued Tuesday, the spokesman said Benazir's recent panicky attempt to draw the people's attention away from her husband misdeeds was actually in response to the revelations made by the former SSP Karachi. He said, " it is a matter of record that ex-SSP Mumtaz Burney has confessed to have released notorious drug baron Shorang Khan in 1994 at the behest of Asif Zardari". The Spokesman recalled that Shorang Khan, arrested in Karachi on May 10, was wanted by drug enforcement agencies in at least 35 countries, and was condemned to death by a Dubai court in absentia. Shorang Khan's subsequent interrogation by a joint investigation team investigation team had only further substantiated the allegations that Asif Zardari remained in close contact with drug barons and remained a source of strength to them in their illegal and immoral operations, he added.
COAS visits forward army positions along LoC, satisfied with troops' readiness

Iran's reaction on Indian nuclear tests strengthened Pak-position:Tarar

Iran's position was based on principles and the entire world should take such a posture, the President told the Iranian envoy.

No graduation
July 3, 2013
A letter was written about a child denied graduation rites because they were home school....
wwhic****, you may be confusing "homebound education" and "home school education." A home schooled student is required to submit an affidavit to the school district stating they are being home schooled and who their home school supervisor is. They then turn in a portfolio of their school year work for the district superintendent to review by June 30. No staff member collects weekly assignments.

You have ALMOST 1 (one) year to change the rules if you think that any child should be able to walk down the isle. You have school board meetings and the ability to draw up petitions to present your case.

Also, and this is really the last thing I have to say about this.. the whole "unless you have a child you're not qualified to give an opinion on this topic" (paraphrasing) is utter bullsh*t.
I have a kid, but I've never been homeschooled, like I said, I know a few people who have and 2/3 of them have done very well for themselves since then, including attending college.
I do have children but that doesn't necessarily qualify me for this topic. What DOES qualify me is that I'm a tax payer and we're discussing the School District, who continues to raise taxes. Even the parents or grandparents home schooling this boy, pay taxes. Those taxes, with all due respect, earn that boy the right to a diploma when he's put in the effort to graduate, imo.
This is just a pure example of a School District trying to tell people "if you're not doing it our way, you're not worth anyone's time".
Great Attitude... and that's why the dropout rate continues to rise.

Also the whole "the child didn't graduate from the school". That's correct, he graduated from the School District. Last I knew, you had to have someone from the district visit you on a weekly basis to check up on you and collect assignments (I'm not overly familiar with home schooling but know just a few people who have done it). So essentially the child did graduate from the district, so it's fair to suggest he should be eligible for a diploma from the District.

This child could have been one of the many who just drop out and never finish their schooling, instead, he was homeschooled and he DID finish his schooling. He put in the effort to get an education.

Reeder, we're going to have to agree to disagree. The school system owes EVERYONE more. Sadly we have been getting closer to an age where less teachers care. To some degree there's justification for that, in the way teachers are treated and their lack of pay, etc. But ultimately the school systems are breaking. They continue to lose funding, they aren't ran as efficiently as they once were. A child should have the right to attend a graduation if he is putting in the work, even if it is via home schooling.

If tax dollars are paying for school, taxes paid by all regardless of the presence of school age children in the home, and the dollars are sufficient that those choosing to utilize the public schools need pay no more money, then those choosing not to utilize the public facilities for their children, those children should have all extracurricular activities made available for them, because, after all, the tax is still being paid by the parents

Usually, GysgtUSMC, a homeschooler only takes "specials" ie. music, art if they take classes on campus. Also, there is a local Home School Cooperative, maybe they should hold their own graduation ceremony.

No they received a high school diploma but they were not at school for 2 out of the 4 semesters a year. Everyone seems to ignore and Mr. Reeder left out the fact that this kid DID ATTEND afternoon classes at the school as stated in the original letter. And I would be curious to know what how the graduating class felt. Did they want him to participate since he did attend some classes with them and play sports with him. After all it was their graduation.

"When I went to school they had a Vo-Tech program at WACC. The students spent just as much time there as they did at school and as long as they had the credits they were able to graduate" - GySgtUSMC
Gunny - Did those students who participated in VoTech also GRADUATE from WACC, or just the HS they attended? Surely you aren't saying they are entitled to a diploma from WACC just because they took 1-2 classes as part of their schooling?
I usually agree with most of your postings in the comments (though not publically noted) and I sincerely thank you for your service to our country. As one fellow Vet (USN) to another, your time and service is appreciated. SEMPER FI !!

Sorry, in my experience there's nothing worse than someone who has no kids trying to tell you how to raise your kids. The reason I made the comment is in response to Mr. Reeder writing "It is not the school you should be disappointed with but your grandchild's parents"
That to me is judging the parents for something he knows nothing about.
But, I apologize if my opinion offends Mr. Reeder or anyone else.

GysgtUSMC -- "Unless you've raised children or are raising children, I don't think you have the qualifications to offer advice or opinion (on this topic)."
Really?!? Because I don't have a child or haven't raised a child I can't offer an opinion or give advice?!? I suppose you'll ignore my opinion about gun rights because I don't own a gun. I don't have a gas well drill pad next door to me so I can't debate the pros/cons of natural gas drilling? Or, because I don't drive the Route 220 corridor between Williamsport and Jersey Shore I can't offer my thoughts on reduced speed limits or limited access to that roadway?
That's hogwash. This topic isn't about raising kids; it's about a school's decision to not allow a kid who was home-schooled to "walk" in a graduation ceremony. It's about a consequence for an action.
Mr. Reeder's points were mostly logical and fact-based. Whether he has a child(ren) is irrelevant.

I would think if the parents pay school taxes in the district, then their children should be allowed the facilities of the school in that district, whether it's sports or other activities, including graduation.
If I had my druthers, there would be more access to private and home schooling and less reliance on the public system. It's another form of welfare. Think about it.

And just to be clear I did not home school my kids and I wouldn't recommend my kids to home school my grandkids. Some of my best years were in high school. But I do not judge those who do and I clearly see some of the reasons they do.

I think we need more information regarding this situation before we pass judgment. According to the original letter, this young man attended afternoon classes and wrestled and played football. Now I would think for that to happen he would have to be registered at that school. So it sounds like he got his required credits through home schooling and afternoon public school. When I went to school they had a Vo-Tech program at WACC. The students spent just as much time there as they did at school and as long as they had the credits they were able to graduate. I'm not quite sure, but I think some may be letting their attitude about home schooling, judge this specific incident because in my opinion if he was a registered and attended afternoon classes, then he is part of the student body. And I'm pretty sure just to represent the school in sports he has to be registered.

It was always my understanding that Graduation Ceremonies were for the Student Body, et al those who attended classes at that school. I have nothing against homeschooling but I feel if you make that choice you should not expect your child to graduate with a school they didn't attend.I understand all the paperwork for homeschooling goes thru the local school district. Maybe the district should offer a ceremony at thier location for graduating homeschoolers. They really need to come up with a policy on this.

When it comes to home-schooled students participating in the activities of the district in which they live, I think that they should be allowed to participate in whatever activities that are appropriate for their age/grade level. However, there should be no additional cost burden placed on the district. For example, if a home-schooled student wishes to attend a class in the mid-day, their parents are responsible for their transportation, not the district because the district already offers transportation to and from school. Having said that, I think that, unless you fear for the safety of your child, you do your child a significant disservice by not sending them to school (public or private). Kids need to see people who are not like them and learn how to deal with folks they may not particularly like.

I agree with Mr. Reeder's letter. There are consequences for actions, both good and bad. The child probably received a better education at home, but did not earn the right to walk down the aisle of a school he did not attened to earn that education (setting extra ciricular aside). I see no obligation in a school that has to offer a diploma to a student that did not attend, but then I am not an expert but only seeing it for what was presented. Condequences = actions.

I'm generally not in favor of home schooling but understand that in some cases, home schooling is in the child's best interest. For the 'normal' student, public school is the best place to be as the student is introduced to people from all walks and beliefs in life, which IMHO, makes them a better person and citizen.

Farmer, that was exactly my point regarding my comment about Mr. Reeder. If you go back and read the original letter entitled "Denied" in early June and read some of his comments, such as "Don't want thier children indoctrinated but it is the parents who home schooling who are doing the indoctrination." It is obvious that he more against home schooling. And my only response to that is if you don't have kids, how can you comment or judge others?

A stellar production: The Planets to be performed at Villa Marina
When the combined forces of the Isle of Man Symphony Orchestra (IOMSO) and the Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra play The Planets on May 17th at the Villa Marina it will not only be one of the highlights of Island of Culture 2014, but also one of the rare occasions when the seven-movement orchestral suite will have been performed in the island in its entirety.
'You need about an 80-strong orchestra for The Planets, so on our own with around 45 players we simply wouldn't have the resources. Joining forces with the Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra has made it possible,' said IOMSO conductor Maurice Powell.
'The idea for the concert was born around two years ago. A couple of Slaithwaite members guest with us occasionally and we started to think how the two orchestras might work together at some point and that led to a proposal to perform The Planets. The work's a real crowd-puller and because it requires a large orchestra, can rarely be performed outside of large cities such as London or Manchester.
'But even with joining forces we could never have staged this concert – probably one of the biggest in living memory in the island – without the funding we've received from the Isle of Man Arts Council and support from the Villa Marina, so we're extremely grateful to them for helping make the concert possible.'
The Planets will form the second half of the programme and be conducted by Benjamin Ellin, music director and principal conductor of the Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra.
He said: 'The Planets is a remarkable theatrical work that demands a vast orchestra, a choir and just about every instrument imaginable. It's a wonderfully written piece and, as a composition, beautifully crafted. There's an ethereal quality about it but at the same time, with its influences of Vaughan Williams, its musical roots are very English in style.
'The great thing about The Planets is that it's in sections, but it's an intense work to perform and you need to be match fit.
'A performance of the complete suite of The Planets is quite rare. This is a major joint production and the levels of positivity, confidence and belief in the project on both sides is really high. Everyone has invested so much time and energy into this; we want to instill a sense of occasion, give it our best and make a great night of it.'
The first half has a distinctive Manx theme. It opens with Haydn Wood's Manx Rhapsody into which four Manx themes are woven. Mr Powell explained that strong links existed between the Island and Slaithwaite; Haydn and his brother Harry having been born in the West Yorkshire town but later moving to the island.
'We also have Arthur Butterworth's Ragnarok, The Doom of Gods. It's a gritty piece written for the Manx Youth Orchestra in 1995 that's never been played since and is based on the Norse saga as depicted on the Ragnarok stone in Andreas,' he added.
The first half will also feature two world premières: JE Quayle's Fantasy-Overture On Maughold Head and Charles Guard's new work, Song of the Southern Hills.
Mr Powell explained: 'Charles's work is an attractive, light and atmospheric piece featuring themes recognisable from his film scores.
'JE Quayle was the probably the foremost Manx-born composer of the first part of the 20th century and his On Maughold Head work is a very fine piece that also draws on Manx folk song themes.
'All in all the concert promises to be a memorable evening that celebrates links between the Isle of Man and Slaithwaite, Manx music and the enduring appeal of Holst's one-of-a-kind work The Planets.'

Asked by:
Generate Scripts fail for different Collation
I'm having trouble with migrating databases from SQL Azure when they're using a different collation, in this instance - Hebrew-CI-AS
"Generate Scripts" fails when it's not the default collation, same as deleting the database from the management studio. Same error when trying to use the Migration Wizard from codeplex.
When I use the default Latin collation, everything works fine.
The error I get is this:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&LinkId=20476
Operation not supported on version 11.0 SqlAzureDatabase. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum)
Any ideas?
All replies
Hi Michael Y. David,
>> When I use the default Latin collation, everything works fine.
Regarding to your description, everything works after you use Latin collation. That because the default collation for character data in SQL Azure databases is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. This collation is also used across the SQL Azure infrastructure to sort and compare metadata that defines database objects. The server and database level collations are not configurable in SQL Azure.
For more information, please refer to Working With Collations In SQL Azure http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlazure/archive/2010/06/11/10023650.aspx
Regards, Amber zhang
I encountered the same situation. Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12712531/failed-to-generate-scripts-for-sql-azure-database-getting-the-list-of-objects.
I have Cyrillic_General_CI_AS collation (it is shown on Dashboard of Azure DB).
Also looking forward to a workaround.

Could you please post additional information and steps performed to get this specific error in SQL Server management Studio?. You could report this issue to https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback
Please include the following
1) SQL Server Management Studio version
2) Is it connected to SQL Azure server or a SQl Server instance running on your machine locally?
3) SQL Server collation & Database collation
4) Sample script ( table schema and related database objects)
5) Did you generate scripts using generate Script Wizard or you scripted the table from Object Explorer
Sethu Srinivasan [MSFT]
SQL Server
This is known issue reported to us already. If you use non-default collation for your database, scripting individual objects will result in the error.
We are working to address it in SQL Server 2012 SSMS service pack 1. In the meantime, here are some workarounds:
Scripting out objects
There are two potential workarounds
Workaround 1: use SQL Server 2012 management studio
In SQL Server 2012 management studio, you can actually script all schemas if you use "Extract Data-tier application" (not "Export Data-tier application"). "Extract data-tier application" only extract schema. After you extract all the schema, you can get your table or procedure to use. This will require SQL Server 2012 management studio.
Workaround 2: use SQL Server Data tools (SSDT)
We SSDT is the tool that integrate with Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/tools.aspx). If you have Visual studio 2010 or 2012, you can download the tool free.
Once you install the tool, you will have option under "SQL Server Object Explorer" under "View" menu.
You can right click on the table or procedure, choose "view code". You can script out individual objects.
Backup data
Workaround 1: SqlPackage.exe:
you can download SQL Server data tools (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/tools.aspx) which has sqlpackage.exe (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh550080(v=vs.103).aspx). This tool allows you to backup or extract schema using command line parameters. Here is an example, the following command line will export GreetTest database to a file called c:\temp\GreekTest.bacpac.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin\sqlpackage.exe" /Action:Export /sdn:GreekTest /ssn:<servername>.database.windows.net /su:<username> /sp:password /tf:c:\temp\Test.bacpac
Workaround 2: using Azure Storage with import/export to backup data
You mentioned that there is charges involved. From a few offerings (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0020p and http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0003p) we have, Azure Storage is included. Can you elaborate a bit more on which offering that would incur extra charges?

Carcinoma of the stomach, colon, rectum and the biliary ducts is a challenging problem. This challenge is greatly multiplied whenever the carcinoma leaves the site of its origin and invades a neighboring organ or organs. When such a situation is encountered at laparotomy, the surgeon must evaluate resectability against (1) technical limitations, (2) risk to the patient, and (3) the estimated physical and physiological defect to be inflicted by the proposed operation.
Early diagnosis followed by proper treatment has been constantly emphasized as the best existing weapon against cancer. The logic of the statement and the desirability of such an attitude are obvious and unchallenged. However, the condition of early diagnosis of cancer cannot always be obtained. Many patients, for various reasons, report for definitive treatment only when the disease has spread beyond the perimeter of the original site of the neoplasm.
The need to care for these patients is

It's rather telling that no person is credited on IMDB for directing this mind- numbing, idiotic, computer-generated animated fiasco, the tale of a dog and his friends on a search for three diamonds to save the dog's owner, Florence (Kylie Minogue). It's quite possible that the producers left the directing, and possibly the writing, to a computer and some piece of software. "Doogal" feels like it was meant to be an interactive Nintendo game, but it just didn't make the cut.
This is like the animated version of "Shark Boy and Lava Girl" in the sense that it seems like the filmmakers had their five-year-olds scribble down some ideas on a pad of paper, then cut the paper into little pieces and threw them in the air to form the script. I have read that this is one of those movies approved by whatever Christian family organization approves movies and finds them family-friendly. I'm thinking "Doogal" and its ilk is the kind of thing they show in order to create Stepford Wives. Seriously, society is in real trouble if "Doogal" is approved entertainment. Oh wait, come to think of it, society is in real trouble. I bet you could get more detainees to talk at Guantanamo by showing "Doogal" than by pulling out their fingernails.
From what I can pull from my withered brain, Doogal somehow releases a bad wizard named Zeebad (Jon Stewart), who's part spring coil, part toy head. Zeebad's power is that he can freeze things and he immediately traps Florence in the local merry-go-round. Doogal and his friends must find three diamonds to prevent Zeebad from taking over the world. Doogal's friends include Train (Chevy Chase), Dylan (Jimmy Fallon), Ermintrude the cow (Whoopi Goldberg), and Brian (William H. Macy). There's also a good wizard named Zebedee (Ian McKellen), who's responsible for trapping Zeebad.
The writing consists entirely of clichés: "I hoped this day would never come", "I'm not going to rest until I've done everything in my power...", etc. Instead of actual humor, the film substitutes direct film references, like when one character says: "We're like a couple of Tomb Raiders." Can I just stop for a second and point out how completely unclever and unfunny that is? This is the kind of humor that makes a granola enema feel like a laugh a minute. I was even more appalled (and this must be blamed on whoever Americanized the film from its British origins) by the urbanisms that dot the thing. I counted ten, which was ten too many cringe-worthy quips - crap like "off the hook" and "bling bling." I guess the filmmakers wanted to make the few black kids who wander into the thing by accident feel like they were among their "peeps."
I'd prefer to eat doogal than see "Doogal."

The news of Osama bin Laden's death brought joy and celebrations from the nation's capital to New York City's ground zero. But for families of 9/11 victims, there were mixed emotions.
Al and Maureen Santora lost their 23-year-old firefighter son, Christopher, 10 years ago on Sept 11.
They were at home watching television when they heard the man who had orchestrated their son's death was dead.
"As we were watching TV, this interruption came on the news, and we just sat in our chairs," Maureen Santora said. "We were just speechless. We didn't talk to each other. We didn't say, 'Wow, isn't this great?'"
"We just sat quietly together and we listened," she recalled. "And we've been married a while, so we kind of sensed how the other person feels."
Despite their outwardly subdued reaction, she said, "We were both very, very elated. We were thrilled that the day had finally come when the organizer of al-Qaeda finally met his demise and was finally killed."
Christopher was the couple's only son.
"I guess all the people that I imagine, I'd like to think that all the people that were murdered, you know, out of hatred on September 11, are celebrating tonight," Maureen Santora said.
"They're just celebrating that good outweighed evil and evil was given a very swift blow tonight," she said.
Charles Wolf's wife, Katherine, was also killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11. He says bin Laden's death is satisfying.
"I had chills for an hour or two, just tingling, tingling all over for an hour or two," he said. "It is a wonderful thing."
But for other 9/11 families, like Tom and Beverly Burnett whose son was part of the group of passengers that fought with their terrorist hijackers on United Flight 93, bin Laden's death is not the end of the story.
"I'm pleased that our military, the Navy SEALs, were able to get him, practiced, got the job done," she said. Still, she added, "I think it's just the first step."
Mary Fetchet, who lost her son during the World Trade attacks, said for her and many others their hearts will never completely heal.
"This is just one more milestone, but a challenge as our healing process is going to be life-long," she said.

A 27-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of recurrent visual defects in each of her eyes. On neurological examination, decreased visual acuity was observed in both eyes and a relative afferent pupillary defect, in the left eye. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-enhanced mass lesion (Figure 1). Computed tomographic angiography and digital subtraction angiography showed an unruptured giant aneurysm in the left distal internal carotid artery that measured 5.5 cm in its maximal dimension (Figure 2A and B). The patient was treated surgically by clipping of the aneurysm. After clipping of the aneurysm, computed tomographic angiography and digital subtraction angiography demonstrated the absence of any residual contrast material within the aneurysm (Figure 2C and 2D). The neurological abnormality progressed no further in the postoperative period.
Figure 1. A precontrast axial T1-weighted magnetic resonance image reveals a large mass (A), and a contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted magnetic resonance image shows intense enhancement of the mass (B).
Figure 2. Three-dimensional rendering of the computed tomographic angiography and digital subtraction angiography shows the unruptured 5.5-cm giant aneurysm in the left distal internal carotid artery before (A and B) and after (C and D) aneurysmal clipping with left frontotemporal craniotomy.

Potty Training the Animals is a brilliant interactive potty training application for children that will turn toileting frustrations into fun, and will set the mood for successful potty training!
Potty Training the Animals is the perfect app to help with toilet training. It includes sweet music, elegant narration and stunning 2D interactive illustrations that will delight both parents and children. This app allows children between the ages of one and five to take an active role in helping the animals and children to the potty. In effect, this fun, stress-free game gets them ready for their own potty time. Fantastic!
Embarking on the potty train is a profound stressor to any parent, and any child. We understand that teaching little one's how to potty is a sensitive issue fraught with emotion, hope and fear. That's why we developed this wonderful tool that will alleviate some of the strain from classic potty training issues.
How will this Potty Training App Help You?
1. Potty Training the Animals will set a positive mood for potty training.
All around the farm the animals are interested in going to the potty. The children can relate to the animals as they make funny 'gotta-go-to-the-potty' dancing movements. The animals even feel butterflies in their stomachs, just as inexperienced youngsters learning bathroom rituals do. Small children have the fun task of helping the animals to make it to the potty. Watching and encouraging all of the animals to use the big kid toilet is a tasteful and highly effective way to set a positive mood for potty training.
2. The Potty Training the Animals app turns the incredibly frustrating potty task into a fun, interactive undertaking.
Parents have already conquered many childhood challenges by the time potty training time arrives. However, this is a bit of unfinished business that can bring both parents and toddlers to tears. Luckily, the Learning with the Animals app is here to help alleviate a good bit of the stress and heartache that accompanies this important process.
3. Kids love the Potty Training the Animals app, the story behind it and its characters.
Many have contemplated why children are so drawn to animals. While there may not be a clear-cut answer to this riddle, it is a long recognized fact that children often relate closely to these little creatures. We use this natural predilection to our advantage with the Learning with the Animals potty training app. Certainly, children learn best by both seeing and doing. Using this hands-on approach in combination with the fascinating animal attraction is a sure fire way to help toddlers learn to use the potty with less stress.
Highlights: Potty Training the Animals
✓ Stunning designs
✓ 2D illustration and animation
✓ Five interactive animals (Dog, Cat, Dog, Chicken, Lion)
✓ One interactive boy and one interactive girl

Thereafter in the same year itself letter No. 203/1970 dated 27.06.1970 from Patriarch Jacob III reached the Catholicose, which denied even the priesthood of Apostle St. Thomas. The letter said as follows: Long before your letter I wondered very much at noticing another letter with the letterhead, which carries the title 'Throne of St. Thomas' … As it becomes clear from the Gospel according to St. John (20:21-24), Apostle St. Thomas had never become a priest. By not being even a priest, how did he become an Episcopos? When not an Episcopos, how did he establish a throne? Throne of Apostle St. Thomas that the letter No. 203 mentioned again sawed seeds of quarrel in the Church of Malankara.
Holy Synod of Malankara pondered on the said letter in detail and as it contradicted the faith of the Church as well as the divine word of God, the Holy Synod declared it as worthy to be renounced and the decision was informed to the Patriarch.
Church of Malankara never assumed any income from the tomb of Patriarch Elias III at Manjanikkara and maintained that the income from there be utilised according to the wishes of H.H. the Patriarch. The Patriarch had appointed Remban Aprem Aboodhi as caretaker of the tomb of H.H. Elias III at Manjanikkara and at this crossroad rumours started to spread that the Patriarch had intentions to consecrate him as Metropolitan and to send him to Malankara as his delegate. No sooner the Catholicose got a clue on this, than he convened the Holy Synod of Malankara and the Synod decided to inform the Patriarch by means of a letter that he shall withdraw from appointing and sending Remban Aprem Aboodhi as Patriarchal delegate. Happens that he sends Remban Aboodhi as his delegate, that would cause to spoil the good relation between Malankara and the Throne of Antioch, the letter warned. It is specially noteworthy that both Mar Philoxenos (who later became His Beatitude of the Patriarchal faction) and Mar Clemis (of Knanaya Diocese), who have hailed from the former Patriarchal faction have signed this letter. Patriarch, on the contrary, having not even bothered to reply to the letter of the Synod of Malankara, consecrated Remban Aboodhi as Metropolitan and sent him with an order to the Church of Malankara to receive him as Patriarchal delegate.
Consequently, the Catholicose ordered all parish churches, as decided by the Holy Synod of Malankara, not to receive him at all. However, favouring the Patriarch some churches have received Metropolitan Aboodhi and those meetings urged people to revolt against the Catholicate. In this predicament leadership of the Church beseeched the Central Government to expel him out of India. He had to leave India on 8th July 1973.
After Metropolitan Aboodhi had left India, the Patriarch Jacob III retaliated by summoning some priests to Damascus, to his abode, and after consecration sending them back as Metropolitans to Malankara. Thus, Kadavil Paul Remban, Cheruvallil Fr. Thomas and Perumpillil Fr. Geevarghese arrived at Malankara as Metropolitans.
On 03.08.1974 the Holy Synod of the Church in Malankara withdrew every acceptance to the Patriarch, which was in craft from 1958, citing various charges, namely, sending a delegate to Malankara from 1970 onwards; denial of even priesthood to Apostle St. Thomas, the founder of the Church in Malankara; consecration of Metropolitans violating constitutional stipulations etc. On 16th June 1975 the Patriarch summoned his supporting Metropolitans from Malankara to Damascus and the combined synod of Damascus condemned the Catholicose as well as all Metropolitans of his Synod. In the month of September of the same year the Patriarch consecrated Paulose Mar Philoxenos, Metropolitan of Kandanad, as counter Catholicose. Patriarchal faction formed a counter association named 'Malankara Yacobaya Association' to install a parallel arrangement. These actions paved way to fights and legal procedures between the factions like in the times before 1958. As we are now awaiting the final verdict on these issues from the Honourable Supreme Court, some questions are relevant, it looks like.
1. The Patriarch and the Catholicose accepted each other in 1958 as per the relevant clauses of the 1934 Constitution of the Malankara Church. Then, is it not a rightful claim from the Catholicose faction that the Patriarch shall involve himself in the Church of Malankara as per that Constitution alone?
2. Have not both the factions together amended and accepted the Constitution of 1934 in 1967, which was in craft during the time of mutual acceptance in 1958? Have not bishops of Patriarchal faction too sent necessary orders to respective parish churches to implement this amended constitution? Didn't Paulose Mar Philoxenos also, who was later consecrated as the first Catholicose of the Patriarchal faction, implement this Constitution in parish churches of his diocese?
3. Is it not a serious heresy, which H.H. Jacob III claimed in his letter No. 203, that St. Thomas the Apostle was not even a priest? He himself says in his book 'Syrian Church History' on page 149: "During the spring season of AD 28, St. Thomas was elevated to the rank of Apostles along with other disciples". Again on page no. 164, he says that, "After having sown the seed of Gospel in Malankara he (St. Thomas) ordained priests from four families to serve this young Church, namely from Sankarapuri, Pakalomattam, Kalli, and Kaliyankal, who have embraced Christianity from among the Barahmins". If St. Thomas was not a high priest, how could he have been ordaining priests? Is it not amazing that a section of people from Malankara have no ill feeling for embarrassingly abjecting St. Thomas and spreading such a severe heresy?
What would have been the situation, had someone else have voiced this kind of a remark?

There are certain individual performances that fans will always remember.
2011 was one of those years where there were several impressive individual performances for the Gamecocks. South Carolina had high hopes heading into the 2011 season and it turned out to be their greatest season yet.
Star power is rampant on the Gamecock football team and it's a big reason why they finished in the Top 10 in the final college football rankings.
Let's take a look at some of those top performances from the 2011 season in no particular order...

Health Care Premiums Run Amok
The Cost of Doing Nothing About the Health Care Crisis
Download this memo (pdf)
View table showing a comprehensive 10-year review of health care premiums
Health care costs are expected to grow 71 percent over the next decade, which will in turn drive premium increases for health insurance. Unless we take serious steps now to reform our health care system—in particular to reduce the rate of growth in health care costs—health insurance coverage will slip out of reach for even more individuals than the 52 million Americans who today are uninsured.
This analysis shows that without health reform, average family premiums will grow to more than $22,000 by 2019, up from $13,100 today. In some states with higher-than-average premiums, family premiums will exceed $25,000 in 10 years. Of course, a family's total health care costs will be even higher once co-payments and other out-of-pocket expenses are calculated into the total.
These projections, as alarming as they are, need not come true. We know how to "bend the curve" of growing health care costs, reducing the future costs that will be borne by American families, businesses, and government budgets. In fact, we can save more than $2 trillion over the next 10 years by promoting cost-saving innovations and reducing waste and inefficiencies. We can significantly reduce health care spending over the long term through a combination of increased research into which treatments work and which do not, improved payment systems that reward efficient and effective care, and the infrastructure we need to enable these elements to work together.
The actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services forecast that per capita medical costs are expected to increase 71 percent over the next decade. With average family premiums currently a bit over $13,000, the expected cost of a family policy would be over $22,000 in 2019. These projections apply expected growth to average premiums in each state, and demonstrate how these projected premiums vary across the country, assuming that current differences across states remain in place.

Eat something else, mostly.
Eat something else, mostly.
"Anxiety is a sign of spiritual insecurity"
Some people recommend eat something with fat in it. I stupidly ate 2 pieces of candy last night ( it didn't even taste good, some chocolate with a Bailey's filling) that someone had given me and then felt sick for the next 3 hours, with a pounding heart and yuck feeling. I've only been primal for 4 weeks, it was not good.
hmmm. Carb cravings. BUT do you mean ANY carbs - like a sweet potato or some root veg - OR do you mean sugary/starchy goodies like chocolate and cake or pizza or something??
If its the first - smack it with some fat and protein. Couple of eggs in coconut oil, bacon, etc etc.
If its the second - thats not real hunger and you need to distract yourself and get away from it. I guess eating something else MIGHT work, but for me in those circumstances the craving still itches even after stuffing myself with other things. Plus, these days, when its a craving I cannot think of a single "good" thing i could bear to eat (cos guess what, I''m not hungry!)

"Failing Lights self-titled album on Intransitive Recordings marked a turning point in Noise Music's one-way street of loudness, aggression and primal chaos; a tendency that can also be detected in the recent solo and duo output by his bandmates Nate Young and John Olson (Regression, Stare Case, et al) and the latest albums by contemporaries like John Wiese and Spencer Yeh. As Marc Masters observed in Pitchfork: "If this is a trend, pinpointing when it began is probably impossible. But for me one record could be a small but vital starting point. In 2010, Wolf Eyes & Hair Police member Mike Connelly put out his first official solo full-length as Failing Lights. It's a masterwork of dark silences and tantalizing restraint. If there's something calming the noise waters lately, Failing Lights was a first drop in that direction. On his new vinyl-only release Connelly is further refining his intense and gloomy minimalism. For maximum fidelity and volume the record is cut at 45rpm by Rashad Becker at Dubplates&Mastering but it is supposed to be playable at any speed." (label info)

While trying to watch the latest episode of Community, Hulu gave me another error message. This has been happening for some time now and I just figured it was a glitch from a recent Hulu update. Since this problem only occurs when I tried to watch Community episodes in Ubuntu and not when I load Windows 7, I figured it would take some time for Hulu to correct the problem. Companies tend to be slow to fix problems for the few Linux users they have. However, this time I decided to dig into the problem myself.
Hulu Error Message Watching Community
The exact error message I received was, "There was a problem playing this protected content. Please reload the page or contact Hulu support. (Error code: 2203)". This provided a few clues that I could use to search for a solution. First, the problem had to do with encrypted video, "protected content". Second, the error code was 2203, "Error code: 2203". I combined this information with the fact I was trying to watch a Hulu episode of Community on an Ubuntu desktop and Google did the rest.
Adobe Flash Error 2203
After looking through a few sites, I found this was a problem with the encryption or DRM being used on these new episodes of Community. Most of the other shows on Hulu do not use this same encryption method and therefore they don't have this problem. Luckily, I found the solution on the Ubuntu Forums. However, this forum does not specifically mention Hulu or Community. This would make it difficult for other to find, so I have copied the instructions here:
1) Remove the Adobe cache
rm ~/.adobe -rf
2) Install hal & hal-info
sudo apt-get install hal hal-info
3) Reinstall Adobe Flash Player
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer --reinstall
[important]If these instructions were helpful, please consider liking Jones PC Repair on Facebook.[/important]
Adobe Flash Error 3344
Personally, I only had Error 2203, but I've read that the above method works for Error 3344 as well. If you are having that error and these instructions solve the problem, please let us know in the comments below.

At age 17, Brittany Weistling is the youngest person ever to exhibit at Masters of the American West Art Show and Sale, which starts Saturday at the Autry National Center.
The Masters of the American West Art Show is considered to be the country's most important show featuring Western art. It is celebrating its 16th year at the Autry.
Weistling, a senior at Trinity Classical Academy in Valencia, will exhibit three works at the show.
What began as a passion for painting roses has evolved into works featuring people.
"I started out oil painting roses and went to a garden and would sit in front of a rose and paint," she said. "Even if it was raining I would sit under an umbrella and paint."
For one of her works on display at the Autry, Weistling found inspiration in a model used by her father, renowned Western artist Morgan Weistling.
"I love history and the Victorian era," she said.
The painting "Josephine" will be on display in the miniature show.
The title represents the main character from the Jane Austin novel "Little Women" — one of Weistling's favorite books.
"For my future career I want take literature, to take different iconic characters in American and British literature and do my own interpretation through the medium of painting," she said.
In addition to the miniature on display, Weistling will exhibit a portrait she painted of her friend, Alexa, whom she costumed in a cloak Weistling described as "'Narnia'-like."
Her third work on display, "Memoirs," is a composed piece depicting an elderly man writing with a quill pen.
"This is the first piece where I tried to do a whole scene, an entire composition," she said. "I wanted to try elements of candle light. I love that sort of warm lighting and how it affects everything around it."
Weistling began showing her talent for art when she was 3 years old. She started with sculpture.
"We have entire cabinets full of little sculptures that are no more than two inches high," she said. "I then made larger sculptures before transitioning to drawing. I would draw every day. I still draw every day."
"We are very proud of Brittany," said Wally Caddow, managing director of Trinity Classical Academy. "We are lucky to have Brittany to serve as an inspiration for other students."
The Weistling family has achieved another first with this Autry show: it will be the first time the show has featured art created by three members of the same family — Brittany, her father and her mother, J. Peralta.
Having a famous artist father is not intimidating for Weistling.
"He's always been there for me helping me along and giving me tips," she said. "My parents have been my art teachers since I was born."
Weistling said it is an honor to have her art selected for display at the Autry.
"It's such an incredible honor to be selected to show at the Autry," she said. "Every year I've gone to this show; my dad has been in this show every since I can remember. Now, to be part of that, it's such a surreal feeling. It's overwhelming."
Weistling said she is now "serious" about her art and after graduation has plans to attend art school.
Masters of the American West Art Show and Sale at the Autry National Center, 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, will run through March 17. The Autry is located off the Interstate 5 freeway in Griffith Park.

After 15 years of calling the Key Center tower its home, Delaware North Cos. is considering a move to new headquarters, and executives say they're committed to staying in downtown Buffalo.
The 97-year-old global food service and hospitality company is now headquartered in Fountain Plaza tower on Main Street.
The company may not leave the approximately 100,000 square feet of space it now occupies, but executives decided the time was right to at least explore options. Its current lease, which began in 2000, expires in the summer of 2015.
"It's something that every business looks at periodically," said Chief Financial Officer Christopher J. Feeney. "It's really a process about aligning what the organization needs for the next 15 to 20 years in its headquarters. Our goal here is to get the best possible headquarters spot for Delaware North for an extended period of time."
Options range from staying at Key Center and renewing its lease, relocating to an existing site or building something new. The company could also opt to own its new home instead of leasing space.
Delaware North employs about 350 corporate workers in Buffalo, and Feeney said the property review will consider the need for added flexibility, better use of space and better integration of new technology to support the needs of its employees, "not just today, but 15 years from now." It will also consider access to transportation and roads "so folks have easy commutes," as well as "good access to parking," he said.
A decision is expected by year's end, but Feeney stressed that Delaware North is only looking within downtown Buffalo.
"We're really wedded to the downtown Buffalo area," Feeney said. "We've been a citizen of the community here. We like it, and have every intention of staying."
Delaware North's search is the latest big real estate quest to hit the Buffalo market in the last three years and is likely to garner significant attention because of the amount of space and the prestige of the firm.
It also comes as the downtown market is already reeling from several other major real estate changes, particularly among law firms and HSBC Bank USA, that have emptied or threaten to empty significant downtown space. On the other hand, those moves, combined with the steady redevelopment of the Erie Canal Harbor area into Canalside, could even pose opportunities for a firm such as Delaware North.
"At this point, we're not ruling anything out," Feeney said. "All of them are options that will be considered over time."
Founded in 1915 as Jacob Brothers, Delaware North is a global hospitality giant that provides food service and hotel, retail, recreation and transportation management services. The company runs food and hospitality services at sports complexes, airports, highway rest stops, casinos, resorts, national parks and other venues, serving more than 500 million customers in the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
The company, which is still privately owned by the Jacobs family, has annual revenues of more than $2.6 billion, with 55,000 employees. It also owns the TD Garden in Boston, home of the Boston Bruins hockey team, which the Jacobs family owns.
Feeney said Delaware North would take no more square footage than it has today but could take less depending on the layout of the building, as long as there is opportunity for expansion.
The company has hired Gregory E. Katz of national real estate brokerage firm Studley Group, which has conducted similar real estate searches in the last two years for law firms Phillips Lytle LLP and Jaeckle Fleischmann & Mugel LLP.
The Phillips Lytle law firm will move by late 2013 from 85,000 square feet in One HSBC Center to the former Donovan State Office Building, which is being renamed One Canalside, in 2013. The Jaeckle Fleischmann law firm left 40,000 square feet at the Bank of America Plaza to relocate to the Avant building, where rival Damon Morey LLP had also moved.
British banking giant HSBC Bank USA, which sold its upstate New York retail branch network to First Niagara Financial Group earlier this year, still employs more than 3,000 workers in Buffalo and occupies about 75 percent of the One HSBC Center tower. However, its lease expires in October 2013. So far, the bank has said it will stay put for "the time being," but it had previously conducted its own real estate search for a new home and is not expected to maintain as much space in Buffalo's tallest building.
Combined with Phillips Lytle's departure and the closing of the Canadian Consulate, a full exit by HSBC would leave 87 percent of that building vacant at virtually the same time, nearly doubling the amount of vacant space downtown.
But Feeney said that didn't affect Delaware North's decision. "It's just a prudent business evaluation," he said. "The fact that there's the noise out there in the marketplace didn't weigh into our decision one way or the other."

Another angle to Frank Flannery's public intervention (for previous post on this subject, click here) in the election may be an attempt to influence the result of the Dublin Central byelection. Sinn Féin's Christy Burke is a candidate whose popularity exceeds that of his party. If FG's Paschal Donohoe can attract SF transfers, so much the better from the main opposition party's point of view.

There's a big debate going on about the end of newspapers, at least in their print form. That's alarming enough but now people are starting to talk about the end of television. (more…)
There is shock and outrage throughout the media. There had been threats and warnings for some time, so it was not altogether surprising that the Real IRA, after a lengthy period in the shadows, succeeded in killing two British soldiers in Northern Ireland on Saturday night. In a further grim episode, it is reported that a police officer has been shot dead in Craigavon tonight (Monday) and I have updated this blog accordingly. (more…)
