Its only one stop away. And you can see Westminster Bridge which you can't from Westminster because you are on Westminster bridge there.
I was asked about that poem in my Civil Service entrance interview, after I had passed the entrance exam.
I was told that the first question would be something straightforward to put me at ease.
I was told wrong. The first question was " I see from our records that you have previously applied to the Factory Inspectorate. Tell me why you wanted to be a Factory Inspector?"
Tell him why I wanted a job I didn't get because it didn't actually exist.
These days 'elf 'n' safety is a dirty word. All right its three words which makes it a dirty phrase. But this was just after the first Health and Safety at Work Act had come in in 1975 which replaced or extended the provisions of the many Factory Acts and Offices Shops and Railway Premises Acts enacted since the mid 19th century.
Working conditions interested me and that interest was not academic. I grew up amongst factory workers, some of whom were missing fingers that had caught in machinery, or were coughing to death from a working lifetime spent among dust and asbestos. Having done a law degree I applied thinking the Inspectorate had a legal department to handle any prosecutions that might be necessary.
They didn't. The inspectors mounted their own cases and those inspectors needed engineering and technical degrees to understand what machinery was safe and what wasn't. End of application.
The second question was "You will have walked by Westminster Bridge to get here. What do you think Wordsworth would say were he here today?"
So far as I can recall I said that while many of the buildings had changed, he would not necessarily disapprove of every piece of modern architecture that has replaced what he knew. And the River has not changed, and neither has the effect of sunlight on water, effect on the human spirit . . .
Whatever else I said had the desired effect because I was accepted into HM Civil Service, and offered a post in the very department which was my first choice.
Civil Service recruitment has changed many times since then.
Call me a cynic but I believe the process now goes something like "And how does this candidate define her ethnic origin? ", her being a deliberate effort at the positive discrimination which does not exist. Then when the answer is Angmassalik the application is carried with peals of merry laughter to the top of the pile as "We are under-represented by members of the west Greenlandic ice shelf community".

Stacy Keibler is the object of a desire for men all over the world. So it is fitting that she happens to be the new lady friend of one George Clooney.
If you are scoring at home, that would be the gentleman that is the object of every single woman's desires.
Clooney recently split with the very hot Elisabetta Canalis. Before the mourning period even started, he reportedly went and cozied up with former professional wrestler, Keibler.
Some guys very literally have it all.
Then there are some guys that have very little. Darius Miles falls into that camp. The former Los Angeles Clippers player was arrested at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport for allegedly trying to bring a loaded firearm through security.
You have to be either crazy or on the wrong side of dumb to bring a loaded weapon anywhere near an airport. They shut down the place if you bring a water bottle near the security line. We will soon break down all the intelligence that left the building concerning Darius Miles.
Then there is my best bud, Kim Kardashian. I am really getting tired of chiding her, her family and the fans that support her, but it is so easy to do so.
The good folks at E! understand the temperature in the room. It is already ridiculous that this faux celebrity will get the royal treatment for her wedding, but now there is more.
The network will provide the wedding in a two-part special. A wildly unnecessary notion gets double the overkill. I will be sure to lend some perspective to a topic that is devoid of any.
You know the drill. There is a ton of juicy news out there and we will bring straight to you. All of the mad, mad items that blend pop culture with sports are on their way in Today's B/R Swagger Buzz.

I don't know what references you've found; perhaps you should show some
of them. It's not possible to specify a user when you mount NFS,
because NFS assumes that the numeric UID the client presents is the
numeric UID that the server should use. If that uid doesn't exist, it
will go to nfsuser.
What you need to do is look at the /etc/passwd files and make sure that
any user which will be writing from an NFS client to the server has the
same numeric UID on all systems. If they don't, then you will need to
change the numeric UID so that they're all the same. You'll need to do
this both in /etc/passwd and for any files owned by the old numeric UID.
(There was a thread about how to change a user's numeric UID in one of
the linux newsgroups a few weeks back.)
It's important to stress that NFS itself only deals with the numeric
UID. So, if on the NFS server you have
and on a client you have
then a file on the server
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody whatever 6188 Nov 13 2006 myFile
will look like
-rwxr-xr-x 1 myuser whatever 6188 Nov 13 2006 myFile
on the client. NFS never passes the name around.

Call for Papers
An ESSHC session 'Academia as an arena of elite formation and democratisation',
Organised by the Elites network and the Politics, Citizenship, and Nations network,
The 7th European Social Science History Conference (ESSHC), Lisbon, 27 Feb – 1 Mar 2008
Deadline for proposals: 23 March 2007.
For a session 'Academia as an arena of elite formation and democratisation', I am looking for papers (20 min each) that might address some aspects of the following themes:
Ever since the late 18th century, the University has had a dual mission. On the one hand, the University has been intimately linked to the emergence and functioning of the nation-state, offering various ways to unify knowledge and power. On the other hand, the University has also been a locus for critical intelligentsia and socio-political resistance, aiming at democratisation and/or revolution of the society as a whole. As examples we could take academic counter-movements as different as the anti-imperialist Pan-Africans of the late-19th century Liberia, the global Student Revolt of 1968, and the development of Women's Studies in the early 1980's as a challenge to the collegial fraternity of white middle-class males.
At the moment, we are faced with a paradox that more people are allowed access to higher education than ever before, but the most valuable rewards of higher education are more concentrated as in the past. The session is thus open for a debate: How the University has acted as an agent of democratisation, or have claims for "democratisation" mainly been presented to legitimate a massive subsidy to the middle and upper-middle classes? To analyse the present situation, a deeper understanding of its historical backgrounds and a comparison of different experiences in various parts of the world is essential.
How to propose a paper
If you want to propose a paper, please send your abstract (ca. 200-300 words) to the session organiser, Dr. Marja Jalava (firstname.lastname@example.com), no later than 23 March 2007.
For further information of these networks and other proposed session themes, please visit the web pages http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/elites.php or http://www.iisg.nl/esshc/politics.php

We are pleased to provide you a consent form and medical data questionnaire so that treatment of your ill or injured child (under age 18 in Kentucky) is not delayed in a parents absence. Kentucky law does not consider a stepparent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, babysitter a legal substitute for the parent or guardian. This means that a person caring for a child cannot legally give permission for medical treatment without written consent from a parent/guardian. To insure a physician or a hospital will administer treatment to a child in a parents absence, it is good for parents to complete the attached form and give it to those individuals responsible for the care their minor child. Should treatment be needed, the caregiver then presents this form to the physician or hospital. Please fill out a separate form for each child under age 18 in the family. This consent must be either notarized or witnessed. If you do not wish to leave a signed consent form, please do leave specific information with the responsible party so you can be contacted at any time.Click here to download a Parental Consent Form.

Reviews for Randolph County Sheltered Workshop Inc
I worked at this establishment for a year to the day. I really love the idea of what sheltered workshops stand for. These people deserve the best possible staff available. That being said, I made it my mission to be just that. I did everything possible to ensure a positive and productive workplace. Unfortunately, this kind of commitment is rare. I found myself at odds with an insecure and easily manipulated manager and two ambitious and dishonest subordinates. While I was running ragged, trying to promote the mission, they were breeding ill will and a hostile environment. The saddest part is that the people we serve will suffer. Upper management is well aware of the situation. Nonetheless, these insidious people were allowed to divert the blame to me and achieved my dismissal. Now, the clients are at the mercy of at least two staff members who could care less about them and a manager who has not the conscience or will to protect them. There are clear signs of dementia, bipolar disorder, and hostility issues at work, and that's the staff. I love the work and the people. If you're there and something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Do the right thing. Please?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has initiated a grant program to support the development of new animal drugs intended for minor species or minor uses in major species.
Major species include dogs, cats, horses, cattle, pigs, turkeys and chickens. All other animal species, except humans, are considered minor species.
The grant program was established by the Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004. A MUMS grant must be for the purpose of "defraying the costs of qualified safety and effectiveness testing expenses incurred in connection with the development of designated new animal drugs."
The FDA will offer $750,000 in grants for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. Grants for total costs will be available for up to $50,000 per year for up to two years for routine studies; and up to $100,000 per year for up to two years for studies of unusual complexity, duration or size. A third year of funding may be available for long-term toxicology studies.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by July 1, 2009.

New partnership with FamilySearch adds billions of records to MyHeritage!
We're delighted to announce that MyHeritage has entered into a strategic partnership with leading genealogy organization FamilySearch, which will bring billions of global historical records and family tree profiles spanning hundreds of years to MyHeritage.
This is a "historical moment" in the family history industry and very exciting news for family history enthusiasts worldwide.
Historical records are the backbone of family history research and are vital for making new family connections and uncovering new information about ancestors. Family tree profiles are helpful for finding relatives and tapping into the collective knowledge of millions of other users.
In the next few months, we'll add more than 2 billion records from FamilySearch's global historic record collections and profiles from its online family tree to SuperSearch, MyHeritage's search engine for historical records.
The records span hundreds of years and include vital records such as censuses, birth, marriage, and death records and hundreds of other collections from dozens of countries. The family tree profiles include all profiles in the collective family tree on FamilySearch except those of living people, plus any updates and additions that will be made in this tree.
Our matching technologies will be unleashed on these new records and profiles so MyHeritage users will receive Smart Matches™ and Record Matches whenever any of them match their family trees. This will bring significant new opportunities for MyHeritage users to grow their family trees and enrich their family history.
Adding this gigantic treasure trove of global content to MyHeritage is an important step towards fulfilling our mission of helping families everywhere explore and share their legacy online.
Below are a few questions and answers about the partnership. For more information, please read the official press release.
Q: What will FamilySearch provide MyHeritage?
A: FamilySearch will share with MyHeritage a massive number of international records and family tree profiles which are key to researching family history. These include all profiles of deceased individuals from the FamilySearch Family Tree (about 1 billion profiles), and a large selection of global historical records (about 1.2 billion additional records).
Q: Which collections will be added to MyHeritage, and from which countries?
A: The historical records come from hundreds of document collections from dozens of countries worldwide. These include vital records such as birth, baptism, marriage, and death records. The records originate from all over Europe and Latin America as well as the United States and Canada, Asia and other regions.
Q: How long will it take to add the international records and family tree profiles?
A: The collections will be added to SuperSearch over the next few months.
Q: Will Smart Matches™ and Record Matches be enabled on the new records?
A: Yes. MyHeritage users will receive Smart Matches™ and Record Matches on the records added, and be able to save the new information directly to their family trees. Our Record Detective technology means that many of these records will point to others, turning a single discovery into a door for more.
Q: Will this content be free?
A: Some of these collections will be made available for free. For viewing the others, MyHeritage's existing data subscription will be required. A data subscription provides unlimited access to all Record Matches and all historical records and family tree profiles on MyHeritage, including newspapers and census, birth, marriage and death records.
Q: What will MyHeritage give to FamilySearch?
A: MyHeritage will give FamilySearch access to its technologies for Smart Matching™ and Record Matching so that FamilySearch users will be able to receive matches in the FamilySearch website, especially with the historical records shared by FamilySearch. This will be made available to FamilySearch members during 2014.
Q: Will MyHeritage give any family trees contributed by its users to FamilySearch?
A: No. Content uploaded by MyHeritage users will stay only on MyHeritage and this content is never licensed, shared, sold or given to any third party.
Q: What if I have a tree on MyHeritage and I don't want it to be matched with FamilySearch?
A: Go to the "My privacy" page on MyHeritage under the account pull-down menu in top right corner of any page. Then go to the Content tab of your tree, and turn off the checkbox labeled "Enable Smart Matching™ with other MyHeritage websites and partners".
Q: What does this mean for the family history community?
A: Millions of people worldwide, who are using MyHeritage and/or FamilySearch, will now have greater opportunities to discover their family history. MyHeritage users will benefit from historical records digitized by FamilySearch, and FamilySearch users will benefit from powerful technologies created by MyHeritage.

In recent years FamilySearch, in Italy, started a massive campaign for recruiting volunteers and several new indexing projects.
I'ts a high quality and highly gratifying job and we are working hard to add milions of records a year.
In a recent record-breaking campaign, volunteers from all over the world indexed more than 400.000 Italian records in just a weekend.
Hope we can help you too.
- Good stuff!!!!!

For fun: How the Internet sees you!
Family history researchers can become rather single-minded about their quest for ancestral data.
It is always good to kick back and read something funny, such as Chris Dunham's The Genealogue, or try something else that might add a different perspective to our searches.
I've mentioned Chris' site as his unusual and humorous approach to genealogy is always welcome, and he also offers lists of categorized genealogy blogs for your enjoyment. However, here's a new site to try for a different reason. Personas is an interesting "installation."
Created by Aaron Zinman (who holds an MIT| PhD in Media Arts and Sciences) as an art installation - a component of Metropath(ologies), an interactive exhibit by the Sociable Media Group, MIT Media Lab - it was on display at the MIT Museum. In its first month, it was accessed by more than 1.5 million users.
According to the site, it creates "a data portrait of one's aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you." It purports to provide a visual graph of an individual's persona based on an Internet search, and you can see what it is finding as it searches the Web.
Enter the name of a person and watch the graph visualization take place as you read the text under the graph.
In addition to names of people, you can plug in the name of a genealogy blog, for example, and receive a "characterization" of it after an Internet search. Here are some of the blogs searched on Personas:
CAVEAT: For real name searches, be aware that many people share common given and surnames. A persona might include the well-known individual as well as a high school athlete or college student with the same name, so take these graphs with more than a grain of salt. It also locates resources in languages other than English. For blog searches, be aware that searching for Miriam Midkiff's Ancestories will also provide hits from people who have misspelled "ancestors" or "ancestry" as "ancestories."
Entering my own name, blog names, relatives and geneablogging colleagues produced some interesting results. Additionally, I know one individual who tries to stay off the "grid" as much as possible, and that grid showed minimal results, confirming those attempts:
For the geneabloggers, I was interested to see if the graphs showed similar results, as we share many similar traits and an Internet presence. I have queried the site as to the term "illegal," but have not yet received an answer, so have no idea to what it might refer.
Here are a few online persona graphs in no particular order:
Why not enter your name or blog and see what Personas says about you? Let me know what you've discovered. I'm interested in reading your comments.
Search for your ancestors:
- A large flaw with Personas is that there are multiple people out there with the same name. I ran my name through it, and out of some 100 hits, only two of them actually pertained to THIS Karen Rhodes. That's why I am now Karen Packard Rhodes! I got tired of being confused with all those other ones!
The picture that Personas drew of me was almost totally inaccurate, so I fail to see that there is any use at all to this tool.
- How do you sign up for your blog? Cannot see your blog feed sign in the sidebar.
- I enjoyed watching it do it's work, but then saw it gathering data for another Carole Riley.
Thanks for the entertainment Schelly!

The next few days of winter weather may continue to try Trumbull County residents -- three to five inches of snow are anticipated in the first half of the week and departments are still short on road salt. Compounding the problem, a warming trend predicted for later in the week will be melting snow and is expected to produce flooding, according to the National Weather Service.
The first hurdle to pass will be the shortage in road salt. The Ohio Department of Transportation had hoped to replenish supplies of the snow-melting mix, but its bid for 150,000 tons didn't see any takers over the past week and expired on Friday.
Most of Trumbull County is covered by the Engineer's Office since it opted in to a partnership program. Highway Superintendent Gregg Alberini Sr. said at the beginning of the month that their supplies were holding steady and he expected to make it through the rest of the winter season without issue.
Areas that decided to buy salt independently, particularly Cortland and Lordstown, were struggling at the start of the month, before the last large winter storm dropped on the Valley. Cortland's strategy was to concentrate salt use on only the main arteries of the city, while Lordstown was holding out for another shipment to arrive.

The Brussels sprout is a Cultivar of wild Cabbage grown for its edible buds. The Leafy green vegetables are typically in diameter and look like miniature cabbages. The sprout is Brassica oleracea, in the "gemmifera" group of the family Brassicaceae. Although named after the city in Belgium, few historians believe the plant originated there.
Forerunners to modern Brussels sprouts were likely cultivated in Ancient Rome. Brussels sprouts as we now know them were grown possibly as early as the 13th century in what is now Belgium.The first written reference dates to 1587.During the 16th century, they enjoyed a popularity in the southern Netherlands that eventually spread throughout the cooler parts of Northern Europe.
Brussels sprouts grow in heat ranges of 7–24 °C (45–75 °F), with highest yields at 15–18 °C (59–64 °F). Fields are ready for harvest 90 to 180 days after planting. The edible sprouts grow like buds in a spiral along the side of long thick stalks of approximately in height, maturing over several weeks from the lower to the upper part of the stalk. Sprouts may be picked by hand into baskets, in which case several harvests are made of 5 to 15 sprouts at a time, by cutting the entire stalk at once for processing, or by mechanical harvester, depending on variety.Each stalk can produce , although the commercial yield is approximately per stalk.
Brussels sprouts are a Cultivar of the same Species that includes Cabbage, Collard greens, Broccoli, Kale, and Kohlrabi; they are cruciferous. They contain good amounts of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folic acid and dietary fibre. Moreover, they are believed to protect against colon cancer, because they contain Sinigrin.Bowden, Jonny. [The 150 healthiest foods on earth], Fair Winds, p. 27, 2007. Although they contain compounds such as Goitrin that can act as Goitrogens and interfere with Thyroid hormone production, realistic amounts in the diet do not seem to have any effect on the function of the Thyroid gland in humans.
In Continental Europe the largest producers are the Netherlands, at 82,000 metric tons, and Germany, at 10,000 tons. The United Kingdom has production comparable to that of the Netherlands, but it is not generally exported.
North America
Production of Brussels sprouts in the United States began in the 18th century, when French settlers brought them to Louisiana. Thomas Jefferson grew them at Monticello. The first plantings in California's Central Coast began in the 1920s, with significant production beginning in the 1940s. Currently there are several thousand acres planted in coastal areas of San Mateo, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Counties of California, which offer an ideal combination of coastal fog and cool temperatures year-round. The harvest season lasts from June through January.They are also grown in Baja California, Mexico, where the harvest season is from December through June.
Most of the United States production is in California, with a smaller percentage of the crop grown in Skagit Valley, Washington, where cool springs, mild summers and rich soil abounds and to a lesser degree on Long Island, New York.Total United States production is approximately 32,000 tons, with a value of $27 million. Ontario, Canada produces approximately 1,000 tons per year
Nutritional and medicinal value
Brussels sprouts, as with Broccoli and other Brassicas, contains Sulforaphane, a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties. Although boiling reduces the level of the anti-cancer compounds, Steaming, microwaving, and Stir frying does not result in significant loss.
Brussels sprouts and other Brassicas are also a source of Indole-3-carbinol, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.

Not sure exactly what is causing the problem, but on my Wii you can play mario kart with 1-4 people using gamecube controllers.
I'm not sure if this should be posted in this section. If not please move it to the correct one. Well i bought a few games on the Wii shop Channel. I got Mario Bros. which can use the Gamecube controller, Wii remote or Classic Controller. Me and my brother play with 2 wii remotes usually. One of the remotes died so we played with one remote and one Gamcecube controller. That worked fine. My camecube controller works fine when playing the wii EXCEPT for when i Bought Mario Kart 64...I didn't have a Classic Controller so i tried using 2 Gamecube controllers. The first one worked...the second one didn't!!! I tried it on other games and i realized that i can't use more then 1 Gamecube controller on Virtual Console!!! I tried it on mario and same Deal!!!! Im 100 % sure its not the controller because it works, i used it on other games single player but not multiplayer!!! What is going on?!?! Is it something i'm doing wrong, is it my Wii or is Nintendo a complete rip off and is trying to get me to buy a classic controller? Please someone respond quickly.
Not sure exactly what is causing the problem, but on my Wii you can play mario kart with 1-4 people using gamecube controllers.
Is there something you did in some settings or something???
I'm exactly the same, I can play four player multiplayer with my GC controllers, I changed no settings, I just plugged them in.
This is not a Play-Asia affiliate link - http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-aecb-49-en.html
This really belongs in the Virtual Console section seeing as it's about the VC with GC controller.
But I've heard similiar rants about this on a few other forums.
But I haven't actually tried it myself yet.
Well do you?
If you are playing with a remote and a GCN controller then the GCN controller needs to be in port 2, not port 1. The wii remote is controller 1 already.
Yes i know this but it wont accept my 3rd party controller at all...
Probably the reason then, I've heard more than once that some 3rd party controllers don't work.

John, I don't remember for sure, but it kinda looks to me like xendomains (service to start and stop xen domains) is performing a shutdown instead of a save. If that is true, then the terminated could be a successful shutdown or a timeout while waiting for shutdown (at which point the domain is destroyed). In either case, your restore failures would be because of bad files in /var/lib/xen/save (or something like that) from a previous failed save. Deleting those files would get rid of your restore errors and the domains would start normally when xendomains started back up (as they presumably do now). This timeout during xendomains shutdown is configurable (even to forever), but I don't remember where. What to do on xendomains shutdown (save or shutdown) is also configurable (likely in the same file, search for a xendomains.conf?). Dustin
hi, DustinMy real, original, problem was trying to get rid of the domain that failed to install, so I could have another go. I was unable to find what the error message means - see the subject line.
The errors in the second post arose while I was trying to work around the original problem. They look to me like errors in the shell script; they could be symptoms of the original problem, but they're not it.
There is currently nothing in /var/lib/xen/save.The timeout is set in /etc/xen/scripts/locking.sh. I don't understand what it does, but it seems to me it doesn't do what's wanted. The "unknown" in this message seems to arise because the lock's not held: Nov 6 12:49:29 potoroo logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vtpm-delete: Forced to steal lock on /var/run/xen-hotplug/vtpmdb from unknown!

Both Jahad Thomas and Isaiah Washington were a little confused on Wednesday when their teachers handed them a pass and told them their basketball coach wanted to speak with them.
Their confusion deepened when Williamsport basketball coach Allen Taylor simply told them, "You got it". The 10-year coach then broke down and explained he meant they both received all-state honors.
"I knew there was a chance, but I really didn't know what he was talking about," Washington said.
Thomas (Class AAAA, first team) and Washington (second team) were part of a memorable run throughout the postseason. And all of the Williamsport area teams received all-state nods, including Loyalsock's Roger Wilson (Class AA, first team) and Kyle Datres (third team), and St. John Neumann's Alize Johnson (Class A, second team).
"It really means a lot to be in an area with such a good group of basketball players," Washington said. "We all have been achieving great things."
Lewisburg's Travis Conrad (Class AA, third team), Wellsboro's Jordan Jackson (Class AA, third team) and Central Mountain's Cole Renninger (Class AAAA, second team) were also named all-state.
Thomas and Washington helped Williamsport continue to build toward another state championship, earning their second consecutive district title this year. The pair is the first all-state duo at Williamsport this century, with Thomas' firstteam selection being Williamsport's first since Darrell Blackman in 2002.
"I've really been blessed," Thomas said. "I could not have done without the help of coach Taylor. I'm really thankful and blessed to have had a coach like him."
"Jahad is fearless and that held true throughout his career," Taylor said. "He really developed into an all-around player. He was a leader and could take over games."
Wilson was the other first-team member in the area. But, unlike Thomas and Washington, who received their notice outside of class, Wilson was texted during class.
"I was in class when I got the message and my heart dropped," Wilson said. "It was just an ideal year."
Wilson dominated the paint for Loyalsock, while developing into the team's unquestioned leader. He also played a key role in Loyalsock's run to the quarterfinals of the PIAA Class AA postseason.
Datres, who received all-state honors for baseball as a freshman, was another crucial part of Loyalsock's run. Datres, who is a sophomore, has received all-state honors in each of his two years at Loyalsock.
Johnson became the second consecutive player on Neumann to be named all-state.
"He just encourages everyone and really helps with the younger guys," St. John Neumann coach Paul Petcavage said. "I'm really proud of the guys."
The eight area all-staters are the most in a single season this century.

Is Scarlett Johansson headed down the aisle?
After the Hitchcock actress, 28, was spotted wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring in New York City on Monday, rumors began to swirl that Johansson and her French journalist beau, Romain Dauriac, may have taken their relationship to the next level.
But a rep for Johansson says she's not walking down the aisle.
"Scarlett is absolutely not engaged," her rep tells PEOPLE.
Even Johansson has said she isn't rushing to tie the knot, as she recently told ELLE UK that marriage is "really not important" to her.
"The only time I ever think about it is when people ask me, 'Would I get married again?' " she said at the time.
But Johansson – who was married to Ryan Reynolds for just over two years before divorcing in 2010 – recalled fond memories of her previous relationship.
She explained, "I got married when I was young and it was incredibly romantic and I liked being married, actually. But it is different. It's hard to put into words."

Clinton: peace would remove impetus for terror
Bill Clinton
Resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict would have "more impact by far than anything else" on global terrorism levels, according to Bill Clinton.
The former US president said that a Middle East peace agreement would "take about half the impetus in the whole world for terror away".
Speaking at a conference in Cairo, President Clinton said that a deal could have a knock on effect on Syrian support for Hizbollah and Iran's nuclear ambitions.
During his time in office President Clinton made working towards peace between Israel and the Palestinians a priority.
He told the conference that if the current round of talks made progress it would be with a similar version of the deal discussed at Camp David with Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak in 2000.
He said: "They're not even pretending now that they are not basically going to go back and take the modernised version I authored in 2000 that Israel accepted.
"They blew ten years and complicated the problem demographically by not doing this in 2000. It must be done."

Sure, it's easy to use Twitter. You just sign up, put in a few details about yourself, and away you go. But if you want to be a — dare I say it — "power-tweeter," there are a few basic tricks and tools that can really help your tweets take flight. Pun intended.
Behold the Power of URL Shorteners
Bit.ly, or tinyurl, or is.gd, or whatever your URL shortener of choice may be can go a long way towards helping you squash your thoughts into 140 tiny characters. They're also a lot shorter to type, which can help your non smartphone-enabled Twitter followers out if they can't click on links. Not only that, but some of the more advanced ones (like bit.ly, my personal favorite) can track the number of times people have clicked on your links, so you can tell if that video you found of the hamster playing piano is really popular or not.
Say It Now, Send It Later
HootSuite (and similar services) help you tackle that familiar problem: sending messages out regularly, but not all at once. Raise your hand if you have a day job that prohibits you from sending tweets all day long (note: I can't actually see you, but I'm willing to bet the majority of people reading this blog fall in this category). Enter HootSuite. Not only does it let you manage and tweet on multiple accounts at the same time (great for managing a business with a social media presence), but it lets you schedule tweets ahead of time. This simple feature can be incredibly powerful, as in just a few hours you can queue up a whole week's worth of content.

Seven years ago this One-Tank Trip feature debuted in The Buffalo News with a trip to celebrate the maple syrup season at Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn in Allegany County.
Since then the annual pancake pilgrimage remains a trip that is dear to our hearts -- and the reason for our return visit to Cartwright's, home of silky maple syrup and all-you-can-eat buckwheat pancakes.
While change can be good, when it comes to pancakes, it's not. Thankfully Cartwright's hasn't changed a thing, except maybe the crowds, which have gotten bigger since it opened in 1963.
The Cartwrights have been making maple syrup since the mid-1800s, when the family's great-great-grandfather Jacob Closser would make maple syrup and maple sugar cakes to sell in nearby towns. In 1913, the Cartwright side of the family purchased the business. You can read the whole story on the back of the menu.
Sometimes there's a line of customers waiting when you arrive, but the Cartwrights have the operation down to a science and move people right along. (We think the best seats in the house are at the counter near the griddle, where you can watch hundreds of pancakes being poured and flipped, and where we met the self-proclaimed "Champion Pancake Eaters from Rochester.")
Choices are simple: a variety of combinations of buckwheat pancakes, eggs, sausage and ham. Prices range from $6.10 to $7.95, and include those all-you-can-eat buckwheat beauties, delivered steaming hot before you can even finish what's on your plate. What's fabulous about the cakes are their nutty flavor and thin, spongelike texture that soaks up the syrup. You really can't stop yourself at just two or three (or four or five).
Keeping it local, the sausage is provided by the Wilson Farms of Canaseraga and maple desserts (Maple Velvet Cream Pie, Maple Crunch Pie, Maple Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie) come from the Angelica Sweet Shop. For pancake poopers, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and hotdogs are available.
At the checkout, buckwheat mix and of course, maple syrup, T-shirts and more are available for purchase. Downstairs you can watch the maple syrup production.
More to see: Make a day of it by visiting the nearby Village of Angelica. Park your vehicle and shop the antique stores, the Angelica Sweet Shop and the cool Angelica Country store.
Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn, 4321 County Route 15A, Angelica; (585) 567-8181; www.cartwrightsmapletreeinn.com. Open now through April 10. Tuesday-Friday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sunday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Closed Mondays.
>More maple
In 1987, Paul and Bonnie Yox retired and moved to Florida.
But by 2000 they had had enough shuffleboard and decided to move back to Western New York. They purchased about 200 acres in Rushford, and by 2001 they were "dabbling" in maple syrup production. But as Bonnie (a.k.a. The Maple Lady) says, "I had all this syrup sitting around." So she decided to do something about it.
Today Baldwin Hill Farms produces products from maple syrup: maple sugar cakes, meat rubs, dip mixes, salad dressings and barbecue sauces. Their own maple vinegar is a specialty product that takes about a year to age.
It's Bonnie's mission in life to show people there is more to maple syrup than just pancakes. For about 32 weeks a year she travels the state selling her products at different shows. Products can also be ordered online. The Yoxes' son, Brandon, has since joined the growing operation.
On both Maple Weekends, Baldwin Hill farms will open for tours of their very modern maple syrup production, which uses a vacuum principle to draw sap from the trees and a high-tech evaporator that boils according to barometric pressure.
Bonnie says there will be product samples, maple crunch popcorn and maple fluff (think cotton candy) for the kids. Of course, you will be able to purchase Baldwin Hills items to take home, as well as get recipes for using maple syrup.

I've written about Anderson Valley once before on Original Gravity, and it was, coincidentally, about their Summer Soltice seasonal ale. Tonight, though, I bring you a write-up of their Winter Solstice! AV are a good brewery and seem like great people as well, so it's always within my interest to pick up their beer when I see it. I was excited to see how this compared to the creamy, sessionable flavor of their Summer cream-style ale, so I grabbed a nicely-priced six pack of this at Burlington Wine & Liquors.
The pour on this is a high clarity golden-tinged orange/brown with decent, even foam and consistent lacing. Though it's filtered, the light it lets through only improves the beauty of this beer's pour. On the nose, I get very bready malts (possibly even some raw bread dough, too), caramel , some light spices and a bit of rum cake. There's a tiny hit of fruit in there, but I think it's probably a flash of alcohol bringing out the esters and not "true" fruit. I say this because the beer does state that it is an "ale with natural flavor added." The Summer Solstice also said that, but I knew there was vanilla extract added to that whereas it feels a bit absent here, replaced by what may very likely be Fall/Winter spices. Nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. None of them really come to the forefront, but there does seem to be a pinch of drying cinnamon in the middle/finish transition. Carbonation is middling and only really present to move flavors along the palate; no real issue here. Thick dark and caramel malts are definitely in play here and really thicken up the body, making this feel a lot heavier than its easy-drinking Summer counterpart. This has an almost menacing sweetness to it, especially when you take into account that almost no hops are noticeable or present on the tongue save some leafier, fresh flavors and perhaps some earthy notes in the front and middle. At 6.9% ABV, this is certainly not a session beer, but it makes sense that this is a bigger recipe than its sister brew given that it is stylistically termed a "winter warmer," which usually refers to a malty, spicy and brown-ish ale with good alcohol warmth and a medium-to-full body. First few times I had this I think I found the alcohol presence to actually be detrimental to my enjoyment, but it feels much more balanced this time for whatever reason. Still, there's a bit of untamed heat at the end of each sip that definitely hits going down, which is actually nice as the weather gets colder (hence Winter warmer, I suppose). Fruitiness opens up a bit more on the tongue as the beer warms up to room temperature, bringing out some grape skin, candy apple and cherry aspects, though they are pretty ephemeral as the deep malt profile drowns them soon after on the palate. Speaking of this warming feeling, though, I'm picking up a lot of pecan and almond flavor from this beer towards the end of the glass, which is unexpected and excellent! The finish on this is sort of strange but very satisfying with the maltiness taking a turn for the slightly-bitter and the aforementioned alcohol warmth beginning to take a hold. Overall, both quenching and enticing.
The clean palate on this is one of its most defining characteristics; this also aided in the drinkability and overall greatness of the Summer Solstice, which I assume has a somewhat similar recipe to this, though this has a much more complex malt profile. Having so many subtle flavors (spice, biscuits, fruit, candy, gingerbread, rum cake, etc.) all in one place yet so easily picked-out and exemplified is a tough thing to achieve in brewing and AV seems to consistently show the country how it's done. Though the sweetness of this brew may turn some off, there's just enough leafy hop bitterness to try rope in those who love palate-wrecking beers, and there's certainly enough malt to convince lovers of browns and stouts to give this a go. This should be a staple in any Winter beer repertoire and I'll be glad to get it again soon.
Style: Winter Warmer
Appearance: Clear as day orange-tinted gold/brown/rusty copper with solid retentive head and pretty consistent, impressive lacing
Scent: Fruity esters, rum cake, some ethanol heat, figs, bready and caramel maltiness, some light spiciness perhaps. Nicely complex and interesting
Taste: A veritable malt-bouquet; deep and rich flavors ranging from biscuity to almost-chocolatey; fruity, nutty and earthy; very round and enjoyable
Mouthfeel: Light-medium carbonation brings out some of the flavors and allows the beer to approach a satisfying finish complete with warming alcohol
Drinkability: Pretty great. Nothing is too heavy and all the flavors you expect for the season are accounted for

Justice Ties Her Career High In WBB's Win At NKU
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. –Junior Shelbie Justice tied her career high 20 points in the Ball State women's basketball 67-63 victory at Northern Kentucky Saturday afternoon in The Bank of Kentucky Center.
With the win the Cardinals improve their overall record to 4-6, while the Norse falls to 4-7. Ball State shot 51.9 percent from the field while holding Northern Kentucky to 29.4 percent for the day.
Ball State would build its largest lead of the ball game (55-40) after senior guard Brandy Woody knocked down a three pointer with 7:08 left in the second half, but the Norse would continue to fight their way back and eventually go on a 23-9 run to close the Cardinals gap to 64-63 with just under a minute remaining.
The Cardinals would go back up by three (66-63) after a layup in the paint from Justice. A missed jumper from Kaylas Thacker was rebounded by freshman guard Jill Morrison. Morrison was fouled on the play; she would go 1-for-1 from the line to seal the victory for Ball State.
Back-to-back three pointers from Morrison and Woody gave the Cardinals a 10-point lead (32-22) to start the second half.
With the game tied at 4-4 with 15:29 remaining in the first half, the Cardinals managed to put together a 9-0 run over a span of six minutes to take a 13-4 advantage over the Norse.
Northern Kentucky quickly answered with a 12-1 run of their own to go ahead of Ball State 16-15 at the 5:16 mark. A layup from Bennett switched the momentum back to Ball State with 4:44 on the clock. Justice would follow with a three pointer and a fast break layup to help the Cardinals end the half up 26-22 over Northern Kentucky.
For the game Justice led all scorers while teammate sophomore forward Nathalie Fontaine earned a double-double off of 14 points and 12 rebounds. Freshman center Renee Bennett had a personal best 12 points and Woody ended the day with 10.
The Ball State women's basketball team will end its 2013 regular season Dec. 29 at IPFW with a 4:30 p.m. tipoff.

Death Itself
Morbid deities become heroes, villains, and mild annoyances in video games.
By Todd Ciolek Dec 12, 2012 5:31PM PSTTags: Maximo Vs. the Army of Zin (PS2) Maximo: Ghosts to Glory (PS2) Castlevania (AMIG) Grim Fandango (PC) Paperboy (PC) Castlevania (N64) Paperboy (N64) Castlevania (NES) Kid Icarus (NES) Paperboy (NES) Paperboy (GEN) Valkyrie Profile Lenneth (PSP) Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (PS2) Castlevania (C64) Paperboy (XBOX 360) Kid Icarus (Wii) Castlevania (Wii) Paperboy (GB) Darksiders II (PC) Darksiders II (PS3) Darksiders II (XBOX 360) Darksiders II (Wii U)
Death is shown in many forms. Sometimes it's a helpful psychopomp, guiding souls into eternity. Sometimes it's a phantom that haunts our every living moment, whether we realize it or not. And sometimes it's a cute little sentry that squawks excitedly and calls down smaller versions of itself. Here's a sampling of the numerous forms the reaper takes in video games.
DEATH (Darksiders II)
The Darksiders version of Death isn't based so much on the vague, omnipresent custodian of the afterlife. Rather, he's one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Like his three companions, Death is one of the Nephilim, angel-demon crossbreeds that rebelled against heaven eons ago. In the ensuing war, Death wiped out his own race, and it left him none too pleased. Darksiders II sees him wandering the franchise's strange cosmos, digging up a murder mystery and rescuring his brother War. There's symbolism in that, we're certain.
MANUEL CALAVERA (Grim Fandango)
Manuel "Manny" Calavera puts on the scythe-and-robe getup of a traditional grim reaper, but only when he's meeting (and sometimes scaring) new clients at his afterlife travel agency. That's a small part of what makes him the most likable instrument of death that games have ever produced. A struggling, low-ambition salesman, Manny is launched toward greater things when his clients are denied the rewards they've earned through their earthly lives. On his journey through the criminal underworld of the actual underworld, Manny swaps his morbid guise for a more stylish rotation of suits, and like any protagonist crafted by Tim Schafer, Manny's rarely without a clever line. Better yet, the game never tells us too much about just who Manny was in the realm of the living.
LENNETH VALKYRIE (Valkyrie Profile)
As a valkyrie in tri-Ace's warped Norse-fantasy RPG series, Lenneth isn't a reaper so much as she's a recruiter, and the only character to call her a "death goddess" is bluntly corrected. Tasked with gathering the souls of elite human warriors to join the forces of Valhalla, she spends a lot of her time following around mortals and watching them die unpleasantly. As one might imagine, this doesn't put her in the best of moods, and she eventually breaks free of her depressing day job. Her two valkyrie sisters handle the same profession in diverging ways; the rebellious Silmeria leaves Valhalla in the second Valkyrie Profile, while the stiffly loyal Hrist plays the part of death with little sympathy for mortals. Perhaps that's why Hrist hasn't earned a Valkyrie Profile of her own just yet.
DEATH (Castlevania)
One of the nastier bosses in the original Castlevania, Death rose above the ranks of mummies and Medusa to become a recurring character and perhaps the most important of Dracula's minions. As shown in Lament of Innocence, Death was instrumental in establishing Dracula as the recurring villain of the series. Death has appeared in numerous other Castlevania games, though he's remember most bitterly for swiping Alucard's equipment at the start of Symphony of the Night. It raises a few questions. Is he the actual Death, the one that presides over all of the deceased? And if so, why is he some vampire lord's flunky?
GRIM (Maximo)
Capcom's tribute to its own Ghosts N' Goblins begins with the heroic Maximo banished into limbo by the sorcerer Achille. Technically not dead, Max is fished out of the watery afterlife by Grim, who resents Achille raising the dead for twisted mortal schemes. For the sake of job security, Grim sends Maximo back to face Achille and battle through all sorts of fiendishly hard stages. The slightly more forgiving sequel, Maximo and the Army of Zin, even allows its hero to change into the grim reaper at certain points.
REAPERS (Kid Icarus)
The image of death as a robed, scythe-toting, skeletal being has its origins in the late Middle Ages, though enterprising scholars trace the scythe imagery back to the Greek god Cronus. So it's not a terrible stretch for Nintendo to put a similarly attired reaper amid the more Hellenistic monsters of Kid Icarus. They're hardly the most threatening of video-game grim reapers, however; upon seeing the heroic Pit, Reapers yip and hop and summon both a rain of Reapettes and a change in the soundtrack. They do much the same thing in the recent Kid Icarus: Uprising, complete with musical accompaniment.
THE GRIM REAPER (Paperboy)
Most of the hazards in Atari's Paperboy are common suburban sights: dogs, skateboarders, construction crew, and agitated seniors waving rolling pins in the air. There are a few oddities, though, and the avatar of our own mortality is one of them. The robed figure doesn't do more than walk across the paperboy's path, and it does no more damage than a dog or a sewer grate. Yet its presence makes a lot more sense once you note the funeral home and hearse further up the road. Like a lot of Paperboy's obstacles, death is just going about its business.

The Alexandra Series
Lizbeth's Best Selling Erotica Series
Classic D/s Fiction
Alexandra's Awakening The erotic journey of a confused and sexually repressed young woman begins this collection of erotic novels, in the tradition of the Story Of O. When Alexandra's crude sexual fantasies threaten to ruin the relationship with her boyfriend, Will takes her to his good friend, the Dominant Master, Reggie. Reggie requires Alexandra to face her fears and her great desires though a series of tests trials, with the hope that she can eventually accept the submissive woman she secretly yearns to be.
In Alexandra's Dilemma, Alex faces a tough choice, when Will catches her in a lie. The only way she'll be able to mend the tattered relationship will be to willingly surrender to the powerful Reggie once again, submitting to his discipline in reparation for her mistakes, which she knows she needs.
In My Darling Jocelyn, Lizbeth introduces a sassy and seductive woman, capable of matching wits with the consummate bachelor, the Dominant Reggie. Is it possible to melt the ice that surrounds his loveless heart? Perhaps, but only if she's ready to submit to his uncompromising demands and realize her own fondest dreams for sexual surrender.
A tale of girls gone wild, a little too wild! Jocelyn & Alexandra, feeling ignored by their Dom lovers, take off on a vacation together that's only bound to get them into trouble. But when they return, the two discover that keeping their naughty secrets from Reggie and Will is more difficult than they expected. They may be successful for a while, but soon the guilty women are getting their just desserts, exactly what they deserve.
In the finale of this collection of novels, Jocelyn's Rebellion, it looks is as if the Dom/sub "match made in heaven" is doomed, when a stressed out Jocelyn's high-profile consulting business takes a sudden nose dive, and the sassy redhead foolishly rebels, running off with a scoundrel lover. Only her dear friend, the irrepressible Alexandra, holds out any hope that Reg and Jocelyn can get back together. She's hell-bent on making it happen, but at the same time must fight to hang on to her beloved Will after a lusty infidelity almost dooms her rocky relationship.
In these five novels, the fiery sexual passions of two Dominant men and their sometimes headstrong and impulsive submissives is a story filled with hot scenes of Dominant/submissive sexuality in many forms. Consensual erotica.

The Graduate Program in Policy History of Bowling Green State
University invites proposals for panels and papers for the Third
National Policy History Conference to be held at the University
on June 1-3, 2000. The Program Committee invites proposals from
scholars and graduate students in all disciplines as well as from
activists and members of the policy community. The Conference will
focus on two main themes, Inequality and Borders. While proposals
addressing these themes or their interrelations are especially
welcome, we also encourage the submission of proposals in other
areas of Policy History.
Theme I: Inequality. We invite proposals dealing with the historical
roots and policy aspects of social, economic, cultural and political
inequality. We recognize that scholars may analyze inequality as an
economic problem, but we also note that economics are distilled
through social experiences. Inequality is not exclusively a function
of wealth. It also relates to location, group status and many other
factors. Thus, in order to enhance understanding of the complexity of
contemporary inequalities, we wish to stimulate discussion of the
empirical origins and representations of inequality as well as of
the ideological perpetuation of systemic inequality.
Theme II: Borders. We invite proposals dealing with policy aspects of
borders. We hope to stimulate proposals from scholars who have
interests in such areas as: the meaning of "border" in political,
cultural and economic contexts; the meaning of "state" and "community"
as border-making authorities; transborder issues and border studies;
techniques and historical processes of border formation (including
such phenomena as cultural activism, migration, commercial structures,
and inter-ethnic violence); the future of borders in the light of
commercial and technological internationalism and the activity of
international organizations.
The Committee recognizes that these themes are potentially
interrelated. Historically, borders have been among the most potent
devices available to authorities wishing to preserve aspects of
inequality. It is therefore anticipated that some proposals will include
elements of both themes. While the Committee's principal interest is
in proposals that focus on the provenance of policies, policy
implementation, and policy outcomes, we seek to encourage proposals
that address either of the Conference's principal themes from a broad
range of disciplines and research interests. Proposals for individual
papers are welcome, but proposals for entire panels, consisting of a
chair, two, or three, papers and a discussant, are preferred.
Proposals should include the following: a cover sheet with the proposed
title of panel and/or papers, the names, contact information, and
proposed roles for each participant; a one-page resume for each
participant; a 250 word summary for individual papers, or in the case
of panels, a 250 word summary of each paper or a 500 word summary of
the complete panel. Proposals must be received by November 1, 1999
at the following address.
