Marriage & Partnerships
Getting Married in Portugal
Find out about marriage in Portugal, including all required documents needed to plan a wedding...
Both civil and Roman Catholic church marriages are recognised in Portugal. Civil marriages take place at the Civil Registry Office (Conservatória do Registo Civil) in the area of residence. A marriage (casamento) in Portugal is recognised as valid in most other countries.
- The Ministry of Justice has an updated list of local Civil Registry Offices (PDF)
Legal Preparations for Marriage
The minimum age to get married in Portugal is 16. However written consent of both parents is required for those aged under 18.
The publication of banns (publicações) is necessary prior to the wedding for either civil or church ceremonies; the chosen marital regime must be mentioned on the banns.
Note: The rule requiring one of the marrying parties to have been resident in Portugal for 30 days prior to the declaration of intent to marry has been abolished. This has been officially confirmed by the Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF) and the Funchal Civil Registry Office however many embassy websites have not yet updated their pages on this point.
Documents required by both marriage partners
The following documents must be presented at the Civil Registry Office to begin the marriage process:
- Proof of residence or passport for temporary visitors
- Certified birth certificate (certidão de nascimento) issued within the last six months (within three months if the marriage is to take place in the Azores)
- A certificate of no impediment (um certificado de capacidade matrimonial). This document, issued by the national's Consulate in Portugal, confirms there is no obstacle to their marriage in Portugal. All foreigners getting married in Portugal require this document except UK nationals. For US citizens, the US Embassy will provide a letter explaining that US birth certificates do not contain any amendments regarding previous marriages (PDF)
- In the case of a previous marriage a certified copy of the death certificate (certidão de óbito) of the deceased spouse or a certified copy of the final divorce decree
- Baptismal certificates are necessary for those who wish to marry in a Roman Catholic church
All documents must be translated into Portuguese by a certified translator.
A small fee is charged (the amount varies from one Civil Registry to another).

This article will look at the 10 most underrated players in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Most of the players I have selected should come as no surprise, seeing as they fit the stereotype of a player a fan would consider to be underrated.
But I have also chosen some of the upper-tier players who have played for the Lakers, who for certain reasons, I believe can be considered underrated, despite their superstar credentials.
I have tried to sprinkle players from all generations and respective dynasties throughout the slideshow.

A Christmas story about a mother long estranged from her parents, about her son who doesn't even know his grandma and grandpa, about hard times and near crimes, Black Nativity offers a whopping serving of Yuletide emotion. And it's a musical - with plenty of wailing and rapping on the side.
Inspired by Langston Hughes' play of the same name, filmmaker Kasi Lemmons centers her tale on a moody teen, Langston (R&B star Jacob Latimore), who lives with his mother, Naima (Jennifer Hudson), in Baltimore. Their relationship is close, they need each other. But Naima is in crisis: facing foreclosure, she sends her son to New York, to spend the holidays with his grandparents. On the bus, Langston breaks into "Motherless Child" - soon half the passengers are singing along.

Alex Smith had a breakout year with 49ers last season, posting career bests in all statistical categories and leading the team to their first playoff appearance in a decade. This reason alone should be enough for the club to re-sign the 27-year-old who becomes a free agent in March.
But there are other factors at play that have as much bearing on the continued success of the Bay Area team other than just statistical facts.
In an age dominated by fantasy leagues and in-depth statistical approaches to the game, we tend to forget that there is more to sport than just what shows up on the score sheet. Some like to call it intangibles, but I prefer to leave off labels and take a more holistic approach that encompasses all that which cannot be quantified.
It is just about looking at the game through reality.
Alex Smith has the qualities that are perhaps more important than any stat he has put up for the fantasy hounds. Here are 10 reasons that those qualities should ensure San Francisco re-sign him.

Wind project noise monitoring in questionJune 03,2014
The Associated Press
LOWELL -- Opponents of the Lowell wind project in Vermont are criticizing a state proposal to continuously monitor turbine noise.
The Department of Public Service has been in talks with Green Mountain Power and opponents over how to continuously monitor sounds from some of the 21 turbines.
The Caledonian Record reports the state Public Service Board is looking at whether continuous monitoring for a year would be a sufficient penalty for noise violations. But it's been difficult for the parties to agree on a monitoring method and a company to do it.
The Public Service Board says it wants to know what the obstacles are to real-time monitoring, and what steps would be taken to bring the project into compliance if there's a noise violation.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

There has been a trend in US culture over the last twenty or so years that has led to a certain amount of desocialization. I am the first one to say that social networking sites and text messages are two of the largest contributors. If you've been paying attention, then it should come as no shock that giving people more ways to communicate would actually make them significantly worse communicators. I find myself often reminding people that phones still can actually be used to carry out a conversation. Even social gatherings have gone down the tubes. Look around you at a supposed social event some time. How many people are socializing with the people around them compared to the number walking around like zombies with their thumbs and eyes firmly planted on their phones? Kind of scary, huh? How about that table of people at the local coffee hangout who are actually texting each other across the table without saying a word?
Along with this, we have seen a drastic and rapid decline in movie attendance. I'm not talking about the new summer blockbuster, I'm talking about overall. For decades, the movie theater was a social gathering place. Nothing was more social than a midnight showing of "Rocky Horror" or some Z-Grade horror flick where screaming at the screen was encouraged. It was like 200 people playing MST 3000 together. Then the bad horror started getting shot straight to video, released straight to video tape with no theater release. Overall, people were becoming more and more inclined to wait until the movie they wanted to see came out on DVD. Why go to a theater when you can watch at home? They didn't want to watch with a raucous crowd, they wanted to watch in silence, and truly, unless you are watching bad horror, silence is preferable. You can concentrate on the movie with no distraction and the last thing you want in your home theater is a loud, whirring fan……
The Sonata IV from Antec is a mid-tower case with elegant styling that promises whisper quiet operation. The Antec Sonata IV is aimed squarely at the HTPC and high end business/SOHO market where aesthetic appeal and silence are the most important characteristics. With a gloss piano black finish and discreetly styled front panel, the Sonata IV can look at home in almost any environment. Included with the Sonata IV is a 620 watt Antec Neo PSU, more than enough wattage to power any mainstream system. The Sonata IV is versatile, with motherboard compatibility for micro-ATX, ATX, and even mini-ITX boards, which are now common in HTPC builds. Inside the Sonata IV there is room for four 3.5" drives, as well as one 2.5" drive. Outside is space for three 5.25" optical drives. The front I/O puts your most commonly used connections in an easily accessed area, including audio, 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0.

From the 60s to the present - From Motown to Yourtown
Recent News
Unique Entertainment
So, First off, we're thinking to ourselves that you might be thinking to yourselves "so what's so cool and unique about the Soul Persuaders? What makes them so different from all the other bands out there?" In a nutshell, here it is. We (Les, Fred and Phil) relocated to Reno from Detroit (Motown) just a few years ago. We've been working together for most of our lives. We brought with us decades of professional experience playing, recording and touring with many of the biggest names in R&B, Motown, Soul and Funk including the Contours, Carl Carlton, Marvelettes, Rick James, Temptations, Four Tops, Ray Charles, Shotgun, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Freida Payne, Leslie Gore, Miracles, Drifters, Gene Chandler, Flamingos... and many more. We hope to see you at a show in the very near future.
The Soul Persuaders
"The Soul Persuaders were a hit at the 2016 Taste of Downtown Carson City event. Their music style and crowd interaction contributed to them being voted Best Band. They were a great group of guys to work with, would love to have them back another year." - Terri Farnworth, Advocates to End Domestic Violence
"A million thank you's to the band! Saturday's Juneteenth Celebration event was a huge success! The bands, energy, passion, hard work and dedication shined right through! The Northern Nevada Black Cultural Awareness Society and I, we appreciate you all!!" - Kimberly Jones
"Mike, the Soul Persuaders look & sound great. Both Phil Weaver and Fred Williams are dedicated & fine musicians. I wish you guys the utmost success, Joe!" - Joe Billingslea, Founder of the Motown group, The Contours. (Note: Soul Persuaders members Phil Weaver (lead guitar and vocals) and Fred Williams (bass) toured and played with the Contours for many years).
"Motown and Sultry Soul combine with a dash of Funk to create the Soul Persuaders signature sound. The rich melodies and smooth harmonizing from these four gentlemen will have you dancing and groovin' all through the night." - Atlantis Casino, Reno, Nevada.
I was blessed to have been a young man in Oakland, California during the 60s. At that time blues and R&B artists from all over appeared at small clubs on 7th Street in West Oakland. I frequented places like Slim Jenkin's Supper Club, the Blue Room, Esther's Orbit Room and many other clubs along 7th Street. I enjoyed the likes of B.B. King, Ike & Tina turner, Big Joe Turner, Big Mama Thornton, Etta James, Bobby Blue Bland, Ray Charles and more - wonderful and amazing experiences and memories.
I've seen a lot of bands over the years, but I've always missed the sounds and the feelings I experienced back then. When I first saw the Soul Persuaders perform it brought it all back - goosebumps and all - I was "home." I knew I had to work with the band and help bring their talent to all of you. The extraordinary talents of Phil, Fred and Les with the addition of special featured artists results in an unforgettable musical experience. If you are into R&B, Motown, Funk, Blues and Soul from the 60s through the present, you'll want to experience the pure authentic energy of the Soul Persuaders.
The Soul Persuaders members include Phil Weaver (lead guitar and vocals), Fred Williams (bass), Les Carter (drums and backup vocals) and newest member Lee Davis (lead vocals). Three members - Phil, Fred and Les - are from Detroit, original home of Motown. As youngsters they lived Motown music. Fred and Les had their own R&B band and performed at Berry Gordy's home. All three moved on to tour and record with many of the major Motown groups. Lee, an accomplished vocalist, is originally from Compton, CA and now makes his home in Reno.
The Soul Persuaders perform the finest R&B, Soul, Motown, Funk and Blues. Band members have decades of professional experience touring and recording with some of the biggest names in R&B. The band is located in Reno, Nevada and is willing to travel the world for the right gig. Locally, the band appears at weddings, reunions, private parties, fund raising events, festivals, casinos and select clubs - anywhere live professional and energetic dance music is needed.
For more details about the band members' amazing professional music careers, check out their interview video and biography. We look forward to seeing you at a show soon.
Please contact Mike Meuser to have the Soul Persuaders appear at your casino showroom, corporate party, reunion, fundraiser, wedding, festival or event. We are also available as an opening act for headliner shows and the band backing up headliners.
Contact for booking information.

Apologies to all for the once-again belated launch of the Battle Royale movie blog. I wish I had a great excuse, but the long and short of it is that I failed to understand the actual process of getting the front page up, causing an unfortunate delay. (I talk a big game, but in the end I'm just an idiot like everybody else.)
But all is well now, so I invite you to log on and join the fray. We're starting off with a discussion of our favorite film scenes of all time — a great introductory topic, I think, and one that I have quite inexplicably neglected to tackle in all my years of writing this column. You'll have to log on to see my personal picks, but suffice it to say that early Spielberg rules all.

Shopping with PCH is super easy!
I love buying items through the internet and mail. I'm not necessarily a few minutes away from my local mall, so having the opportunity to try something out at a low price is always nice! Publishers Clearing House makes it simple and affordable. I have purchased items in the past that get my friends talking. A few months ago, I purchased some satin pillowcases through Publishers Clearing House. My hairstylist had suggested them years ago to help limit breakage. I tried them out, and they feel great AND they're gentle on your hair while you sleep! I take them with me whenever I travel and I sleep on one every night. My hairstylist is impressed by how much my hair has improved. Now my friends are thinking about trying them out.
I've also tried out a few magazines through PCH. The most current one is Real Simple, and I love it! It's chock full or organizing ideas and tips. It's exactly what I need for settling in to my new home.
There was one time when something arrived and it wasn't exactly what I wanted. One quick call to PCH's customer service, and I returned the item easily.
Remember, no purchase is necessary to win, but if you do decide to make one, you can trust that your satisfaction is guaranteed!
Good Luck!

[1] École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada
Standing column wells (SCW) are open-loop geoexchange systems used to provide space heating and cooling to buildings. As they use groundwater as heat carrier fluid and modify its thermo-chemical conditions along the year, they may favor calcite dissolution and precipitation, thus increasing maintenance costs. In order to predict the thermo-hydro-chemical (THC) processes occurring in a SCW and ...

PHILADELPHIA -- Running back Brian Westbrook (ankle) participated in the morning walk-through at the NovaCare Complex, but is expected to be very limited -- if he is used at all -- during today's first practice in preparation for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins at Lincoln Financial Field.
Westbrook was held out of Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, as running backs Tony Hunt and Correll Buckhalter failed on three straight occasions to pound the ball in from the 1 for the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
* Tight end L.J. Smith will practice at full strength today after missing the Bears' loss with a lower back contusion.
* Right guard Shawn Andrews is not getting any better, is seeing a back specialist this afternoon and likely will miss his third consecutive game this week.
* Defensive end Victor Abiamiri had the screws removed from his surgically-repaired wrist and could return to practice by the end of the week.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was really sweet. (And this review is probably more like 3.5 stars, but anyway.)
It was a really quick read for me and I did enjoy it. If you like plot-heavy books, don't go for this book. Japanese literature in general is often very slow and descriptive and can almost feel repetitive, but for some authors that's just their writing style.
The characters were all lovely, I loved all the references and passages about baseball which is a huge part of Japanese culture, and the translation was solid.
If you're new to Japanese literature and you just want something that's easy to read - this might be a good place to start.
Bring on the next novel for Japanese June. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/12046788-japanese-june-2015-readathon (And you can find the topic here!) c:
Very sparsely and well written. Beautifully formed family of math professor, housekeeper, and her son. Many interesting philosophical thoughts regarding mathematics. Not as interesting as Ogawa's Diving Pool.
A beautiful novella about the simple joys of caring and understanding, set against a background of mathematical truths. A single mother takes a job as housekeeper for an elderly mathematician, whose short-term memory erases itself every 80 minutes. She and her 10-year-old son find ways to forge a very special relationship with the Professor under these unusual circumstances, while he introduces them to the exquisite beauty of the world of numbers. Highly recommended.
February 2011
Magical. I was enchanted and didn't want to be done with this novella. Even the ending was perfect. The only thing I noticed that other reviewers apparently didn't is that this would appeal to adults who grew up loving [b:The Phantom Tollbooth|378|The Phantom Tollbooth|Norton Juster|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388181422s/378.jpg|1782584]. It's numbers instead of words, and it's quiet with a small cast of mostly adults instead of a quest with lots of kids and immature folks, but it's still about seeing the world through symbols, organizing one's life for the sake of learning, and getting one's priorities straight for oneself instead of following tradition or others' expectations. Recommended to all considering it, but not to absolutely everyone, so 4.5 stars instead of 5.
The Housekeeper and the Professor - Ogawa
5 stars
1,2,3,4,5…. stars, because:
#1. This book was as pleasant to read as a garden in the early morning.
#2. The book is a triumph of quality over quantity. It's one hundred eighty pages
(10 x10 80) of thought provoking questions concerning memory, friendship, the nature of family, and numbers, numbers, numbers.
#3.The professor reminded me of how much I enjoyed teaching math to young children.
#4. It reminded me how much I enjoyed my son's Little League games and sharing his interest in baseball.
#5. Ogawa gives her characters tremendous dignity. The housekeeper views her poorly paid job as a legitimate career and takes great pride in doing her job well. She goes to great lengths to allow the Professor to maintain his dignity despite his disability.
Den mycket uppskattade japanska författaren Yoko Ogawa introduceras på svenska med en riktig hjärteknipare. Annat brukar det sällan bli när gamla, sjuka gubbar sammanförs med barn.
The narrator in Ogawa's mysterious, suspenseful, and radiant fable, the youngest housekeeper at the agency, knows that her new client will be a challenge: nine housekeepers have already been fired. But when she meets the Professor in his small cottage, she is intrigued instead of wary. A brilliant mathematician, he lives a surreal life. The elderly Professor can't remember anything after 1975. He can absorb new information and new experiences for 80 minutes at a stretch, then it is erased, and he has to start over. Quiet and kind, his jacket festooned with scraps of paper on which he writes notes to remind himself of what he always forgets, he spends his puzzling days solving highly advanced math problems and winning national contests. At long last, he has the perfect companions. The smart and resourceful housekeeper, the single mother of a baseball-crazy 10-year-old boy the Professor adores, falls under the spell of the beautiful mathematical phenomena the Professor elucidates, as will the reader, and the three create an indivisible formula for love

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312427808, Paperback)
He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem—ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young Housekeeper—with a ten-year-old son—who is hired to care for the Professor. And every morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them. Though he cannot hold memories for long (his brain is like a tape that begins to erase itself every eighty minutes), the Professor's mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past. And the numbers, in all of their articulate order, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her young son. The Professor is capable of discovering connections between the simplest of quantities—like the Housekeeper's shoe size—and the universe at large, drawing their lives ever closer and more profoundly together, even as his memory slips away. Yoko Ogawa's The Housekeeper and the Professor is an enchanting story about what it means to live in the present, and about the curious equations that can create a family.

Promising to restore a North Philadelphia neighborhood known for dilapidated buildings and a lack of medical resources, city and state officials helped break ground Wednesday on a $15 million health-care facility near the Strawberry Mansion area.
The Stephen Klein Wellness Center, named for the developer, is expected to offer primary care, dental, and behavioral health services - as well as 50 job openings - when it opens near 21st Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue. More than 100 people jammed inside a heated tent Wednesday for the ceremony.
High rates of obesity have been a problem in the area. In the 19121 zip code, where the center will be built, for example, more than 50 percent of adults were estimated to be obese, according to the 2012 Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey released by the nonprofit Public Health Management Corp.

Andy Ruiz on Potential HBO Clash With Joe Hanks
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com recently caught up with heavyweight contender Andy Ruiz (18-0), who had a successful return to the ring in March when he knocked out Mathew Greer in the first round of their fight that took place on the Tim Bradley-Ruslan Provodnikov undercard last month in California.
"We trained really hard and I stuck to my game plan, hitting him to the body and up top. Everything worked out and now I'm just waiting for my HBO fight," Ruiz explained while also mentioning a possible fight against Joe Hanks that would be televised by HBO if it comes to fruition.
The fight could be part of a June or July tripleheader that will be headlined by Mikey Garcia. Ruiz is very confident that he will leave the ring a winner if that fight gets made.
"I heard it might be Joe Hanks. He's an undefeated fighter, I'm an undefeated guy so it should be a good fight. He's pretty big, tall, with a long reach but I think with my pressure and my speed that I will be too much for him. Exactly what I said when I fought Greer," Ruiz stated.
Ruiz said that he has been working hard to get his weight down. While he will likely never have the sculpted physique of a prime Evander Holyfield or Mike Tyson, Ruiz feels that he can still get down a little lower.
"I'm training harder and I'm trying to get slimmer," said Ruiz who already has lost more than 50 pounds since his pro debut. "I fought (my last fight) at 246. That's the lowest I've been. I finished my fight in one round and I felt good. My goal is to get down to 240," he finished.

Watching the pregame show for the Eastern Conference playoffs, I started thinking about the best all-time team you could put together: my version.
Well, here goes. The only requirements were that you played in the NBA and you were physically capable of lining up at the position I put you at, not that the position was your actual position (i.e. centers at PF, etc).
I threw together a starting lineup and a few bench players. This may not be to say that they are the best, just that I think they would make the best team (you may not need five scorers, maybe two scorers, a three point shooter, and some rebounding, whatever).

Schaefer: Garcia-Matthysse Set For Mayweather-Canelo
By Rick Reeno
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has officially announced that a deal has been finalized for WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16KOs) to defend his titles against mandatory challenger Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32KOs) on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul Alvarez Showtime pay-per-view on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"The One just got even bigger. Floyd wanted to make the biggest pay-per-view possible," Schaefer said. "We didn't have to make this fight. The tickets are already sold out. We want to give a big thank you to the fight fans. This is the most expensive fight ever to get put on as [co-feature] on a pay-per-view. This is one of the most anticipated fights in the sport. It would have been much easier to put this on a separate date and more lucrative for us as a promoter, but this was done for the fans."
There will be a multi-city press tour to promote Garcia-Matthysse, which is going to include stops in New York City, Puerto Rico and Los Angeles. There will be an announcement next week on the press tour dates.
Both fighters are represented by powerful adviser Al Haymon.

Prosecutors filed a forgery charge Friday against Amarillo attorney David Duncan related to a $100,000 check and continued to get phone calls from clients who fear he stole from them.
"We're getting tons of calls," said Randall County Criminal District Attorney James Farren.
Bank records show "evidence of massive diversion, misapplication of fiduciary property and theft," according to a search warrant for Duncan's office.
In another development, Happy State Bank filed a civil suit on Monday, claiming Duncan has about $1 million worth of loans in default. The bank made the loans from January through May.
The search warrant claims Duncan replenished his clients' settlement account at or near the times he borrowed money from Happy State.
Attorneys are required to deposit money from financial settlements of civil cases in special trust or escrow accounts. The money is supposed to stay there until any third-party issues are settled. The interest earned on the money then goes to a state fund to defend indigents in court, and attorneys distribute the remaining funds to the client and to themselves to pay for their services.
"We suspect most (Duncan) clients got nothing," Farren said.
Bank records show money from Duncan's special account went to expenses like Shark Fight Promotions, decorating and repair, Atmos Energy, The Amarillo Club, American Express, Discount Tire, Central Church of Christ, Willow Creek Kennels and Raffkind's clothing store.
"Records reveal that for the majority of months from January 1, 2007, to June 9, 2009, Duncan withdrew substantial amounts of cash simultaneously to depositing clients' insurance settlement checks," according to the search warrant. "The records further reveal the funds remaining at the end of any given month were insufficient to fund the clients' share of the settlement proceeds that were deposited that month."
The search turned up client records investigators sealed and placed under the supervision of a judge.
Investigators want to compare the client information with the bank records but must first get clients' permission because of privacy rules.
A Randall County grand jury indicted Duncan, 39, on two felony theft charges Wednesday for misuse of settlement money involving more than $20,000 but less than $100,000 each.
He is in the Randall County Jail with bond set at $500,000.
Prosecutors also filed a motion Thursday to revoke Duncan's probation in a 2008 aggravated assault case in which he accepted a plea bargain. Revocation could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
Terms of the probation included not possessing firearms. Officers found Duncan possessed six handguns, two shotguns and a rifle when they arrested him.
Another term of probation prohibits "injurious or vicious habits." Officers found Duncan possessed two types of the injectable steroid testosterone and Vicodin, a pain killer.
The assault happened at PetSmart when Duncan allegedly knocked Gary Prescott unconscious and then began "repeatedly and violently striking Prescott's head against the concrete floor," according to a pending civil suit filed by Prescott.
Duncan is also serving a three-year, probated federal sentence for taking a gun into Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport in his luggage in February, the second time he was detained for carrying a weapon there.

You know, I think that equine therapy for disabled kids is great, but this guy is a marketing fool going crazy on the success of his book and documentary "The Horse Boy." He's teaching grand prix movements and airs above ground to grade quarter horses and formerly lame warmbloods of uncertain origin? From seeing him ride in the documentary, ug. [edit] He's capable of being the equivalent of a Spanish Riding School head rider in four years? [edit] He should be shown to what he is, but then one would be accused of not being sensitive to the plight of the disabled.
I'm sorry, but this man has really gotten my ire up. I'm sorry. I feel sorry for these horses, and the uneducated who donate.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says he expects a moderate economic recovery to continue this year.
Speaking at the first press conference held by the Federal Reserve in its history on Wednesday, Bernanke added that the economy would grow at a slightly slower pace than originally forecast and would still require monetary support.
He indicated that the Fed would maintain its monetary stimulus after its bond-buying program ended in June, while the need to contain inflation would make further quantitative easing "less attractive."
"It's not clear that we can get substantial improvements in payrolls without some additional inflation risk," Bernanke told reporters. "Ultimately, if, if inflation persists or if inflation expectations begin to move, then there's no substitute for action," he said. "We would have to respond."
The 57-year-old Fed chief said he expects the unemployment rate, currently at a two-year low of 8.8 percent, will fall about a half-point by the end of the year.
Wednesday's press conference was part of an effort by Bernanke to make the central bank more transparent and to repair its image with the public.
Bernanke reasoned that if the Fed could communicate its intentions more clearly, "there would naturally be less volatility" in the markets.

The choir, formed in Dublin in 1951, has developed an extensive repertoire of classical and modern works, and John Dexter, who succeeded Victor Leeson as musical director in 1984, continued this tradition. David Milne has been musical director since 1991.
Many distinguished Irish and international soloists have sung with the choir over the years. The Guinness Choir is also committed to supporting emerging Irish talent and in recent years many young singers have appeared with the choir.
The repertoire of the choir spans the centuries from early music to the present day - from Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers through to Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem, John Rutter's Psalmfest, Gerard Victory's Ultima Rerum and Rhoda Coghill's Out of the Cradle.
Calling all singers!

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have any information regarding aircraft utilization across a fleet. For example, I know that BA has 50 something B744's but how many are required to be available at any one time in order to operate its normal schedule? How often would an aircraft be in maintenance as opposed to in revenue earning service? Is it 1 day per week, 1 day per 2 weeks etc? Do larger airlines have any spare aircraft to recover from delays these days? Thanks.

They downgrade so they can buy-in a couple bucks lower and then up-grade. Back and forth..
Several months ago GS had HFC on its preferred list + WNR a buy, they then reversed it. Now several months later, they reversed it again.Jana sold 25% of its MPC at ~42/share + pocketed 44MM + have options to buy another ~850K shares at 27.50/share. Icahn the perennial raider who has pocketed a ton on CVI, up 23%, has told the BOD to sell the company. These hedge funds need massive regulation as they manipulate the markets to their own benefit as the retail investor can only hope they are in the stock the raiders have positions. Right now they have targeted the refiner sector + they will put a lot of pressure on these firms to return shareholder value, ie, more money in their pocket and who cares what happens to the company next week as long as they hit their profits this week. If they leave the company in shambles they could care less as their wallets bulge.Sometimes it a good thing as it pushes poor BOD's into making decisions they would never make on their own that may benefit the company but far too often its to the detriment of the company.

Brighton Publishing announces print release of "Faith Scapes" by W.J. and Lee Walker
Faith is put to the test as an aunt and her young niece become trapped in a tornado-ravaged building
As news broadcasts begin relating the devastating effects of tornado activity in several midwestern cities, Susan, the owner of Faith Scapes Exteriors, a landscaping company, decides to assist with the rescue efforts.
Together, with her teenage niece Randi, they set out with a trailer full of supplies for the tornado-ravaged victims. When they stop at a local supply store to pick up more emergency items, the situation goes from bad to worse.
Without warning, a tornado slams into the building causing catastrophic damage, trapping them between floors in a freight elevator. During their time imprisoned by elevator walls, Susan begins to relate her life story to Randi in an attempt to show her that God is always in control—even over situations that may seem impossible to us.
Unsure of when or if they will be rescued, Susan decides to focus on her abundantly blessed life instead of their current distress. Ultimately, she relates to her niece a life story that is filled with thought-provoking characters and stimulating events, including her personal testimony of how God helped her overcome her dyslexia disability.
"Inspiration and comfort derive from many different sources; but the question is, are those sources strong enough to pull us through even the most difficult of circumstances?"
W.J. Walker, a registered nurse, and Lee Walker, a retired engineer, have been married forty-one years, since just after graduating from high school. Successful in their respective fields and with their children grown, both are enjoying dedicating time to writing and other passions. W.J. is also the author of the highly-acclaimed Memories, a novel published by Brighton Publishing in 2011. They live in Michigan with their yellow lab, Lucy, and their tabby cat, Rusty.

awesome, thanks for the info!
do you lcd's have better bass at least? or the hd800's for that matter? i figure if everything else is similar to the hd650's, but have better bass, i use 650's for music, and 800's or lcd's for gaming.
picked up he-400's for gaming and didn't like them at all. hoping the higher end orthos might be a better choice.
but that being said, i always go back to sennheisers in the end. i just prefer their comfort and sound signature.
Like Matt said, the bass of the LCDs has a bit more weight to the bass, and it is a bit cleaner too. That is the thing I noticed about orthos is that they do a good job of putting focus on all the parts of the sound. Everything is in very clear focus with excellent detail and texture. But I feel that for me, there wasn't as coherent or natural a whole to the picture as something like the HD800 or even the HD650 in some respects.
The HD800 does not have the warmth or boosted mid bass of the HD650, it is very balanced all the way through. That said, the HD800 has very articulate bass that can punch quite nicely when called for (this is where giving them enough voltage comes in). Where the HD800 excels for me is creating space. Better than any other headphone I have spent a lot of head time with, the HD800 allows me to forget I am wearing headphones and places me in the performance, especially with well-recorded classical and acoustic. It comes closest to a live performance for me (my goal). I think with that ability, they would be phenomenal gaming headphones (albeit quite expensive one). You aren't going to be overwhelmed by huge farting bass during explosions, but you will have quite an immersive experience I would imagine (I don't game on my computer anymore).
Like I mentioned before, I think the Sennheiser siblings are excellent complements to each other. One allows me to be in the recording and the performance, the other lets me lose myself in the music.

County Wants Sheriff Investigated for Possible Felony Over Purchase of Bus
County leaders want to know: What part of illegal doesn't Sheriff Joe Arpaio understand?
America's self-described Toughest Sheriff won't tolerate tamale-selling illegal immigrants, people who honk their horns or costume-wearing political pundits. But, according to Wesley Baysinger, (below) the county's chief procurement officer, the Sheriff's Office committed a felony when it intentionally bought a $456,000 bus without going through proper procedures.
Arpaio has publicly taken credit for purchasing the bus with money from a special jail-enhancement fund, so if a felony was committed in obtaining the bus, Arpaio is responsible. The way Baysinger spells it out, the purchase definitely didn't meet county requirements -- and somebody must pay the piper.
Last week, Baysinger sent a letter to County Attorney Andrew Thomas, telling him it was his duty under the law to investigate the matter and enforce the law. Baysinger also sent a letter to the state Attorney General, hoping he would investigate any related violations of state procurement law.

Click here for the letter to Thomas.
Barnett Lotstein, a top aide to Thomas, tells New Times that the prosecution agency received the letter today. Lotstein took pains to make the distinction that the accusation of a possible felony by Arpaio's office was only being reviewed and that "it would be incorrect to characterize it as an investigation."
That's to be expected, since Thomas and Arpaio are political allies who teamed up to investigate possible corruption by anyone but themselves.
But let's face it, the motives of county leaders could be considered suspect. After months of fighting between the Board of Supervisors and County Manager David Smith on one side, and Arpaio and Thomas on the other, Baysinger's letter seems to be just another skirmish in a greater political battle.
Lotstein says he questions the motives of county leaders for bringing this allegation forward, especially since the bus was purchased a year ago. But if the county is not acting in good faith, what are we to make of an apparent investigation launched by Arpaio of the county auditor's office?
Can both sides be both right and wrong?

Vineet Nayar (born 1962) is an Indian business executive, author and philanthropist. He is the former Chief Executive Officer of HCL Technologies (2007–13), Founder Chairman & CEO of Sampark Foundation and author of critically acclaimed management book "Employees First, Customers Second: Turning Conventional Management Upside Down" (Harvard Business Press, June 2010).[1] which has sold 100,000+ copies.
Nayar was born and spent most of his childhood in Pantnagar, a town in the foothill of Himalayas in state of Uttarakhand. He completed his schooling from Campus School Pantnagar.

Currently, Nayar serves as a Senior Advisor to HCL Corporation. He joined HCL in 1985 after earning his MBA from XLRI. In 1993, he founded Comnet, which grew into a $1 billion dominant leader in Technology Management business.[citation needed] In 2005, Vineet became President of HCL Technologies and served as the company's CEO from 2007 until January 2013. During these years he helped it grow revenues and market cap by six times which led HCL to win awards for the Most Democratic workplace in the world, Workforce Management Optimas Award for HR Innovation in US, Britain's Top Employers, Best Employer in Asia, and many more.[2]
Nayar was chosen by Fortune Magazine for its first ever global "Executive Dream Team" 2012, which has been described as an "all star leadership" that "could coalesce and dominate in any industry."[citation needed] This is in addition to his inclusion in the elite "Thinkers 50 List" which is a list of the world's top 50 business thinkers.[citation needed]

Nayar narrated the story of his company's success in the book Employees First, Customers Second: Turning Conventional Management Upside Down (Harvard Business Review Press, 2010),[1] and also outlined the intellectual basis for transformation and lessons learned. The book has been praised by some of the world's leading business leaders including the late C.K. Prahalad, Tom Peters, Gary Hamel, Ram Charan, and Victor Fung.[citation needed]
Nayar continues to share knowledge through two blogs—his own scrapbook[3] and a blog at Harvard Business Review website.[4]
Social change advocate[edit]
Nayar and his wife established a non-profit organisation called Sampark Foundation in 2004, which aims to transform the lives of children, youth, and adults through education, social entrepreneurship, livelihoods, and climate. In 2013, Nayar stated that he gave up his business role in HCL and is focused on his foundation's work and build tools & training methods to enable better teaching techniques for elementary grades (1–5) in Punjab.[5]
Vineet's philanthropy recognition includes citation in Forbes magazine's prestigious '48 Heroes of philanthropy List 2013'.[6] He has also been honoured with the "Beacon of Hope" award by the 2009 Asha for Education, NYC/NJ Chapter.[2]

UPDATE: Will not repurchase, this product is basically mineral oil ( baby oil with mica and dyes, with added parabens.
Cool toned medium pink. Nice everyday color, the wetslick creamy smooth texture with the nice vanilla smell. This color clashes with my warm complexion, so I wouldnt repurchase, but if your cool toned, go for it.
