Cleared Heroic and Normal Emerald Nightmare in the first week of it's release.
Classes Needed:
Balance Druid
Shadow Priest
Always looking for exceptional DPS of any class.
About Us:
We are a guild, made up of former members of <Red Shift> and <Casually Addicted>, on Bleeding Hollow (PvP Server on a Chicago Datacenter) that have a common goal and will do what is necessary to achieve it. We are Shifty Casuals.
We are a group of professional adults, who believe success in raiding doesn't correlate to number in days/hours you spend raiding. We are starting a fresh page within our guild history and sticking to a 3 day a week raid schedule.
We don't tolerate elitism, bigotry, misogyny or any of the like. We enjoy our calm, adult environment and have no qualms with protecting it.
We do loot council which is fair and distributes loot for the progression of the raid as a whole and not an individual player. No favoritism, no loot drama.
We have our sights set on top 100 US for Legion and are looking for like-minded individuals to join our ranks.
Raid Days and Times (All times in EST as that is our server time):
· Tuesday 8:45pm-11:45pm
· Wednesday 8:45pm-11:45pm
· Thursday 8:45pm-11:45pm
Who We Want:
Since we are reforming and building for the expansion now is a great time to get in on the ground floor and clear content with us, while prepping for the new expansion. These are some key traits that we are looking for:
· Someone who understands that 3 nights a week raiding means that you need to bring your A-game each and every night. Attendance is expected to be near 100%. By committing to raid, you are committing yourself to our raiding schedule.
· The ability to perform under pressure. We only recruit impressive players, and spots are always competitive.
· Extensive class knowledge of your class. (IE: Alpha/beta testing, keeping up with theorycrafting, properly gemmed/enchanted, always be up to date on the intricacies of your class (not solely your spec(s)) and on the utility of the entire raid group.)
· A computer that can handle 20-30 man raiding and the ability to communicate via VOIP when needed. You must have a working headset and mic, and you must be prepared to use them. We will not read chat during boss fights. Inability to give a vocal response will not be tolerated as it directly hinders progression.
· Tough skin. We're always looking to improve ourselves as should you. Constructive criticism is encouraged, but flaming and insulting is not tolerated whatsoever.
If you have what it takes to be a part of this great team and community, feel free to apply at our website http://shiftycasuals.wowlaunch.com/. If you have questions about the application process, contact any of the officers for additional information.

Union is an alliance guild on the PVE server Uldum, we are currently 4/7 mythic and looking to add 1 mage and 1 warlock to our ranks. Union has been around since Vanilla and has had the same core of raiders for years. We pride ourselves on raiding just 10 hours per week and being able to maintain top 150 US throughout the last tiers of raiding. We raid:
Tuesday 8-11 EST (5-8 PST)
Thursday 8-11 EST (5-8 PST)
Sunday 7-11 EST (4-8 PST)
We are looking for a mage that not only parses high, but has good survival instincts and always comes prepared to each raid.

hiiiiiiiiiii Shamates !
How are you all ?
So here's my question, after the faaaaaabulous 7.1 Release does our stuff change ? I mean the BiS, mosty on Trinket !
Bye !

Hi, Does anyone of you know how much haste is enough for demon blades to proc properly ? I'm actually at 20% (crit 40% mast 20%) I can switch to 50% crit but I will have 6% haste.
There is now a debate whether the proc chance of demon blades during GCD is actually a buff or a nerf, if anyone could bring opinion on that too it would be great.
thank you.

We are a very social guild LFM for progression/semi-casual raiding and leveling.
When we say "semi-casual," we mean that we raid two days for three hours, can laugh about a wipe but are still serious about progression. We plan to do Normal raids (not for long) before going on to Heroic and Mythic.
New players and all levels welcomed. We are VERY new player and new role friendly and have a few new players in the raid group already. We will work with you and get you trained up. So don't worry!
We do have some PvPers and an experienced RBG leader so PvP isn't out of the question.
We're almost always on Discord and we joke around a lot. Some jokes aren't appropriate so keep that in mind. (Recommended 18+)
Currently we are using the EPGP system (http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/EPGP). The addon EPGP (DKP Reloaded), EPGP Lootmaster, DBM, and GTFO are required to be downloaded and kept up-to-date on raid nights.
Fridays & Sundays 8pm - 11pm PST. (10pm - 1am Server Time.) NOTE: Flasks, foods, potions, and enchants will be provided for raiders on a first-come first-serve basis. People who contribute to the guild bank will also have preference. Guild repairs provided on raid nights. Trials will be provided with the aforementioned items if we can spare them after the main raiders. CURRENT PROGRESSION

LA VERGNE - Thanks to funding from the Tennessee Department of Transportation for safe routes to school, sidewalks and crosswalks are being installed in the city of La Vergne.
As part of the grant funding, the city must also offer educational opportunities related to walking and bike safety for school children in kindergarden through eighth grade.
"As a coordinated school health program school, we like to take every opportunity we can to promote physical fitness and good health," said Principal Jeff McCann of La Vergne Lake Elementary School. "All La Vergne Lake Elementary students are encouraged to walk or bike to school on Friday, Oct. 19. As a true neighborhood school, we want to encourage this as a regular method of getting to and from school."
La Vergne Lake Elementary School will be hosting the walk-to-school day where McCann, Mayor Senna Mosley, Alderman Tom Broeker and Police Chief Mike Walker, as well as other officials, will be on-hand to walk with the children.
Parents are also encouraged to participate with their children.
"We are meeting at the corner of David's Way and Floyd Mayfield Drive and walking together to La Vergne Lake Elementary," McCann said. "I am also providing all participating students with bottled water and a box of crayons from TDOT. We hope this will be a fun way to promote living a healthy lifestyle and making small changes in daily habits that will lead to healthy living."
Although the national walk-to-school day was observed on Oct. 3, Rutherford County Schools were on fall break.

Two big shows announced impending closings this week. Jekyll & Hyde will end its run Sunday, May 12, while Orphans shutters the following Sunday, May 19. While we extend our sympathies to the cast and crew of Jekyll, they must have seen it coming. With the rough reviews the show received and not a single Tony nomination, the writing was on the wall.
Orphans was troubled long before the critics got to it. With rehearsals well underway, producers announced that Shia LaBeouf would no longer be starring, causing a wave of bad press the show would struggle to recover from. It's still unclear whether LaBeouf got handed his walking papers or bolted on his own, but after some awkward tweeting and publicly-released e-mails between Shia, Alec Baldwin and director Daniel Sullivan, Hollywood good-guy Ben Foster was brought in to replace him. The reviews were ultimately mixed, but not without some critical accolades.
Alec Baldwin, no stranger to public controversy, tenaciously stood up for the show from the start. His recent postmortem on HuffingtonPost.com laid into nemesis and Times critic Ben Brantley, whom Baldwin described as an "odd, shriveled, bitter Dickensian clerk."
The Testament of Mary also ended its short run on Broadway this week, following an unexpected Tony nomination for Best Play and a notable lack of one for its sole cast member, Fiona Shaw. Critical consensus seemed to be that Shaw, while always a formidable talent, wasn't at her best inTestament. Perhaps playing the Mother Mary wasn't a great match for her heralded skill set. Or maybe she was just flummoxed by the live vulture she had to share the stage with.

- Delivered quickly. Detailed castle. Review by Su
Price Value Quality
Received the package in time for the holidays. Son loved his castle -- it was the toy he played with the most on Christmas day. The castle has a lot of details like trap doors and a working draw bridge. The price is a little high but that is expected for Playmobil products. Only complaint is that the castle can easily dis-assemble if you try to move it from place to place, as it is rather large and has a lot of pieces.

Quality Price Value
This was my first ever purchase with Rural King and I am very happy with it - and so will be one of my nephews who chose the Falcon Castle for Christmas this year. Great price (best I saw on the Internet), quick delivery, and reliable company based on this transaction... I especially appreciate the bonus Norton insurance that Rural King gives its customers. Would definitely buy more toys from Rural King. Thanks!

text: The City of Aiken has filed a civil lawsuit against the engineering group that initially designed the Pawnee-Neilson Connector, which experienced a failure that cost more than $500,000 to fix.According to federal court documents, the city filed the lawsuit against the Cranston Engineering Group based in Augusta on April 26 in efforts to handle cost overruns of the connector project, which derived from a remedial project to repair the road's detention pond walls that faltered.The amount that the city is looking to gain from the lawsuit is undetermined and will be ruled by the court's verdict in the case, according to Rob Braithwaite, who is representing the city.Cranston Engineering initially designed the connector. According to court documents, the contract that the city entered with Cranston in 2005 provided that engineering group receive $76,705 for all of the construction plans as well as $2,380 and $9,520 for shop drawing review and the construction phase services.The plaintiff complaint states that the group breached its contract by failing to provide a design of the connector and detention pond slopes "that adhered to generally accepted engineering standards and principles and that were within the generally accepted factors of safety."The document further states that the slopes were "excessively steep, unstable and/or unsafe to motorists traveling upon the connector."Braithwaite said the city did attempt to come to an agreement with Cranston before taking it to court."We tried to resolve the issue but were unable to," he said, later adding, "Unless the matter is resolved by the way of a settlement, it will be at least a year before it goes to trial."Cranston Vice President Jim Cranford released a statement Tuesday regarding the lawsuit."We were notified last week that the City of Aiken has, in fact, filed a lawsuit against our firm," Cranston said. "We categorically deny all of the charges listed in the complaint and deeply regret that the city has chosen to proceed in this manner. We expect to be vindicated of all charges once all of the actual facts in the case are presented."Construction of the connector began in late 2008 and, by August 2009, officials noticed a shift in the walls of the detention pond that the connecting road surrounded and found it unsafe on which to travel. Construction was halted, and the final layer of asphalt wasn't put down, according to city officials.The city then contracted Schnabel Engineering Consultants to evaluate the connector, which concluded the inclination of the detention pond walls needed to be reduced, according to court documents.Woolpert Inc. was hired for a redesign, construction began again in the spring of 2011 and the road was open by November.The road, which links Neilson Street to Pawnee Drive, was constructed to alleviate congestion on Whiskey Road.The city spent $2,381,078 for the initial project - more than $700,000 coming from round one Capital Project Sales Tax, $1,050,000 coming from round two of Capital Project Sales Tax, $167,586 came from roadway funds, $167,586 came from roadway funds and the remainder of that money spent from the storm water account.The money for the remedial project came from the 2009-10 budget surplus funds.Amy Banton is the city beat reporter and has been with the Aiken Standard since May 2010. She is a native of Rustburg, Va., and a graduate of Randolph Macon Woman's College.Amy Banton is the city beat reporter and has been with the Aiken Standard since May 2010.

WRITING: The Archive I
The St. Ives Archive is housed [housed; where the memory lives; the dwelling place for the memories; where memory sleeps until it is disturbed and rearranged to become history] in the Upper Chapel Room, St. Andrew's Street. If you walk along the seafront towards the train station, you'll find the St. Ives Society of Artists clinging to the very edge between land and sea. If you walk the other way, past the cafes and shops, weaving in and out between the holiday-makers in the summer, or trying to escape the penetrating winds in the winter, you'll find the 15th Century church, and the harbour, and beyond that, Porthmeor beach and Tate St. Ives.
The building itself is constructed in granite, its walls almost half a metre thick. The Upper Chapel Room is found by going through a small set of blue double doors at the side, ascending the steep carpeted staircase and at the top, turn right and go through the glazed wooden door off the small landing. The space itself reveals its construction, white-painted beams hold-up the Methodist's architectural simplicity, the attic-like space filled with light by the large windows at each end [three per wall, two small with four sections, two with eight panes, two with six, and a larger window in the between, three instead of two wide, and an extra row of two-by-six windows on top].
It's not an very big space, neither is it small. The room is the whole of the floor, save for a small landing with a toilet and a cupboard, and at the far corner, a latch door leads to a little kitchen with its assortment of mugs, tea-bags and tea-towels, and a kettle that seems slow to boil [though not as slow as the one in the kitchen in the house in which I live].
At the kitchen end, is a computer that stores the oral history archive and slide-shows of photos, and next to it is the microfiche machine. Microfiche is still an esoteric thing of great mystery to me. I only partly understand it. We need to become better acquainted, the microfiche and I. Working clockwise around the room from the microfiche on the back wall next to the kitchen, there is the Family History Corner. This is for actual genealogy, rather than the genealogy of ideas or knowledge. Along the long wall that faces the door, are cupboard-topped shelves that reach from floor to ceiling, except because the roof is sloped, there is a gap. I've often thought it might be a good place to sleep [sleep with sleeping memories], rather than just daydreaming.
On the shelves are a rainbow of ring-binders, filed not quite according to their position on the spectrum. They are filed according to subject, and to each subject a colour is assigned. It starts with blue for Family History at the far end, then red for Buildings, purple for History, green for Maritime, and yellow, for sun, sand and Tourism. Black ringbinders are for the serious matter of the arts. Grey archive boxes contain monochrome memories in black and white photos. See-through plastic boxes hold precious glass plates and photographic negatives; look through to see.
Turning to face in the opposite direction is the other wall with the big windows which face the sea, with St. Eia's Church to the left and the Society of Artists to the right. You can just see the see in the middle, between the rooftops opposite. You can also see Godrevy, dunes, sand, but no lighthouse. Along this wall are computers. These are necessary for lots of reasons, yet the data stored in the memory of the volunteers is far easier to access, and can be retrieved using simple voice activated commands. This is much more user friendly, and needs no special training to use. The search results are filtered, and come with intelligent metadata, and recommendations for further searches. Apparently, this is also how the Semantic web, or Web 3.0 will work. There are no accession numbers, or filing systems required. However, the system of memories is unique, sophisticated and individualised.
Turning again to the other long wall, there is a fireplace, not in use for fireside tales, with a sign above that says 'THIS IS A DISUSED MINESHAFT it has been fenced for your protection PLEASE HELP TO KEEP IT SAFE'. Next to this there are three filing cabinets, two brownish beige and one royal blue. From left to right, they respectively contain administrative things, Artists and Sculptors and General Art (A-Z), and Volunteers and Displays and Writers and Poets. Next to filing cabinets is a dividing wall of desks and photocopier at ninety degrees to the wall, ending in a display table with local history books and postcards of local views for sale. The door to the stairs is on the other side of this half-wall. This divides the volunteer's working area from the public's working area. This separation is further defined by the difference between the assorted proper desks on the one side, and smaller tables, each with two assorted chairs, on the other. The visitors' side tables, three of them, are an interwar shade of lemon syllabub. Modern red and black chairs sit in pairs with the lemony tables. The half-glazed door leads out on to the landing again, and on the landing is the cupboard where books are stored, and not unlike in Borges' Library of Babel, the toilet.
But as Bachelard said, one never goes downstairs from the attic.

Pacific Foods Organic Chicken Bone Stock The wellness world is abuzz with the many perks of regularly consuming bone broth (even K...obe Bryant is a die-hard fan). But it's hardly anything new and trendy, and it's definitely not going away any time soon. Since prehistoric times (way, way before your grandma and her grandma were making it), people have tossed bits of meat, bones, veggies, and spices into a crockpot to cook up tasty stews and curative tonics. Because of its caveman origins, bone broth (and stock) is especially treasured by today's Paleo eaters. In much the same way our prehistoric ancestors made it, Pacific Foods slow simmers organic chicken bones with onion, vinegar, and rosemary for a savory mix full of naturally occurring protein (a whopping 14 grams to be exact) and tons of nutrients including gelatin, calcium, phosphorous, glucosamine, and essential amino acids like glycine. Together, these wholesome ingredients can help build stronger bones, detoxify the liver, combat leaky gut syndrome, and make skin more resistant to aging. And it tastes good, too. The savory, naturally salty bone stock perks up sauces, gravies, and sautés. When cooking, swap water for bone stock to add nutrition and flavor, without any unnecessary calories, fat, or heavy sodium. Differences between bone broth and stock The two terms are used interchangeably, but they're not exactly the same. While both boast similar health benefits and involve the same basic technique of combining and simmering meat, bones, vegetables, and spices, there are a few key differences. Bone stock Bone stock is a concentrated version of bone broth. It's thick in texture and gelatinous, making it ideal as a flavorful base for sauces, gravies, and soups. It usually requires much less cooking time than bone broth—around three to six hours—and features a significantly higher proportion of bones to meat. The bones are strained and removed before eating, but they impart a much darker, richer flavor due to the abundance of gelatin released during the simmering process. Bone broth Bone broth requires a much longer cooking time than its stock counterpart, clocking in anywhere between 24 to 48 hours. Like stock, animal bones are used; however, there is a higher ratio of meat to bones. Unlike stock, the bones are left intact. The result is a perfectly simmered concoction that can be enjoyed solo or used to braise proteins and vegetables as well as a base for soups and stews. Health benefits of bone stock Cooking preparation aside, broth and stock both deliver a tremendous amount of nutrition, and are therefore a great addition to any meal. Not only is there a mega dose of protein from the bones and meat, but there's also tons of collagen (an essential protein that turns into the super nutritious gelatin when cooked), calcium, phosphorous, glucosamine, and other essential amino acids like glycine. Together, this superstar team of nutrients can help fight: Infection Inflammation Colds Leaky gut Anxiety Joint and muscle soreness Lackluster skin Wrinkles Fatigue More about collagen and gelatin Collagen is only naturally found in the bones, hides, and cartilage of animals, so consuming it in adequate amounts in order to enjoy its myriad of benefits—like skin, joint, and gut health—can be tricky with our modern-day diets. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just slurping cubes of JELL-O. True, this childhood favorite contains ample amounts of gelatin, but it's also loaded with sugar, artificial sweeteners, and colors. If you want to reap the benefits in a healthier manner, bone broth/stock is your best bet. Either sip it or cook with it to add tons of health-boosting agent read more

This presentation summarizes the linear diffusion model applied to the evolution of the double-peaked outburst in the transient source XTE J1118+480. The model treats the two outbursts as episodic mass deposition at the outer radius of the disk followed by evolution of disk structure according to a diffusion process. Light curves with fast-rise, exponential decay profile are a general consequence of the diffusion process. Deconvolution of the light curve proves to be feasible and gives an input function specifying mass deposition at the outer disk edge as well as the total mass of the disk, both as functions of time. The derived evolution of total disk mass can be correlated with the observed evolution of the ~ 0.1 Hz QPO as observed by USA and RXTE. We discuss how the model applies to other transients and other X-ray outbursts.

Sexy Hair is one of my favorite brands of hair products, I use their shampoo and conditioner, styling treatments, flat iron spray, hairspray and straightening balm, all of which I LOVE.
I finally decided to get this stuff that I had never tried before. It`s called Powder Play, and it is volumizing and texturizing powder. I was worried this powder would have some strange side effects (the volumizing mousse makes my hair super crunchy). I am happy to report no such thing! All you do is decide where you want some extra volume and fold that section of hair to the opposite side. Then you sprinkle the powder over it, pat it in and tease the hair a little if you want to.. When you fold the section of hair back you get a lot of extra volume.
It`s an awesome product, it held up all day and through the night, my hair didn`t wilt or fall flat at all.
Highly recommended!

At Peace
You don't go to a performance of Jeremy Nelson's work to watch troubled relationships play out or high-tech bodies bash one another around. Nelson and his accomplices treat dancing as a lovely, daring everyday business. We may infer playfulness, tenderness, competitiveness, or other qualities from its rhythms and designs, but that's at our discretion, not his insistence. Nelson, who danced in England with Siobhan Davies and Second Stride before working here with Stephen Petronio from 1984 to 1992, has staked out a choreographic territory in which movement rulestransforming space with uniting and splitting patterns, redefining time, experimenting with gravity.
His style combines precision with softness and occasional precariousness. A dancer will slice neatly through the air, yet perhaps push the steps a little beyond comfort or equilibrium. In the "work" his small societies engage in, people never look rushed or dangerously impetuous, even though their tasks are bewitchingly complex. And complexity never results in hyper-density. Sometimes the performers simply walk away after a highly active burst of motion. Maybe they sit on the sidelines and watch. Stillness pits the action, just as silences stud the music of Douglas Henderson (for the 2002 SightUnseen and the 2003 Bridge of Fools) and David Watson (for the new Accent Elimination). In the first of these, performed in front of Louis Lara Malvacías's brilliant backdrop suggesting geometric pictures within pictures, some of the dancers (Malvacías, Nelson, Gretchen Pallo, Rebecca Pearl, Rebecca Serrell, and Francis A. Stansky) may be as still as trees while others kite around. In the male trio Bridge of Fools, Nelson, Malvacías, and Stanskyoften on the floorwatch one another closely.
Carol Mullins's splendid lighting was the only decor for Bridge. Accent Elimination was performed against another Malvacías backdrop: two spare lines of cryptic symbols and a huge red feather on unbleached muslin. This new work richly mines Nelson's skill at juxtaposing lushness with leanness, refinement with a touch of roughnessas in the clunky falls that occur as voices and lightly clattering sounds surface in Henderson's score, or in the way someone reaches out to hook a foot around someone else's leg to thwart a tumble or redirect a step. Nelson investigates ingenious leans and occasional topplings for five dancers wearing clever-odd outfits by Malvacías; a person may brace another who's canted off balance, or allow him- or herself to be leaned on. Stansky carries Pallo on his shoulder as if she were a statue being transported to a new location.
Nelson doesn't seem to be eliminating accents, as the title implies, but allowing personal differences to show, say in a wonderful unison passage for Meredith McCanse and Omagbitse Omagbeni, or to shine more obviously, as when Omagbeni and Serrell slowly assume various balances. You watch Accent Elimination the way you might watch an ant colony, fascinated by the comings and goings, wondering what this collision or that sudden switch to synchrony might mean. Of course, you are watching not ants but dancers executing challenging maneuvers that we understand intuitively. And in this choreographer's world, with its peaceful ingenuity and flashes of risky brilliance, everyone is an individual and conformity a choice.
Upcoming Events
In Risa Jaroslow's work, peacefulness has always been not just a quality, but a value. For some years now, her choreography has combined highly trained dancers with people drawn from a variety of community workshops she's taught, and her own expertise at melding them into a functioning society has grown. Created in a post9-11, pre11-2 world, her new Whole Sky explores personal ideas about wholenessexpressed through a collage of taped voices that periodically interrupts Steve Elson's musicand a vision of a utopian society. The breathing that begins the piece, and Jaroslow's quietly sensuous opening solo, seem to infuse a cluster of still figures with life. Fully awakened, Takemi Kitamura, Elise Knudson, Omagbitse Omagbeni (again!), Rommel Salveron, and Christopher Williams move as a clump into fluid supports, opening their faces to the sky, each moving as an individual as they travel together.
Everyone who falls is caught. Hands reach to help, nurture, support. Midwife Nancy Rosenweig, a former dancer, soothes Jaroslow, skips lightly with her. Three women gather to hold and guide psychotherapist Adwoa Akhu. Everyone, including Chris Cruz and Attila Pomlenyi from the LGBT youth workshop and John F. Regan Jr. of the New York Fire Department, helps Kitamura to walk in airher foot on this one's shoulder, that one's back, this one's handsstrong grasps keeping her safe. One person's private motifs are multiplied, or woven into phrases for everyone. Regan, carried in aloft, is incorporated into a gently pulsing horde while his taped voice speaks of his passionately pursued hobbies: social dancing and Irish step dancing. Seconds later, pairs are two-stepping and waltzing. In one of the many intriguing uses of Barbara Bickart's videos, a woman's body is projected onto Salveron's T-shirt; whatever that was meant to convey, it emphasizes the empathy that permeates the group.
Less than an hour long, Night Sky, for all its solid structural underpinnings, seems a little more diffuse than Jaroslow's other recent works. It flows so smoothly, without sparks of feistiness, pointed connections, or temporary dissonance, that it's almost lulling. Still, in these dark times, it glows with human goodnessno small gift.

Ottumwa Firefighters' wives to start Ladies Auxiliary Club
The Ottumwa Fire Department is a vital part of keeping the community safe and now the wives of the firefighters want to help give back by starting a Ladies Auxiliary Club.
Part of the clubâ??s plan is to help local fundraisers and charities.
Currently there are 25 women that have shown interest in joining the club.
â??We had a Ladies Auxiliary back in the day where it was just a couple of women who'd cook for their husbands when they were on a fire for an over-extended period. So we kind of wanted to help support our husbands and give back to working with Red Cross alongside the Salvation Army on a fire scene, whether it was providing food or water in general,â?? said Jennifer Reynolds, Auxiliary Club Member.
To kick off fundraising for the club, there will be a bake sale Saturday morning at the south side Ottumwa Fire Station from 9 a.m. to noon.
Reynolds said the club will planning a soup dinner for the fall and will also be helping with Sparky Claus over the holidays.

Neneh Cherry performed with RocketNumberNine as part of MIF13. For full details, please visit the events page by following the link in the left hand panel.
Neneh Cherry, daughter of late avant-garde artist Moki Cherry & African percussionist Ahmadu Jah, was brought up in New York by her mother and left field jazz legend the late Don Cherry. Leaving school at 14 to move to London and sing with the punk group The Cherries, Neneh performed with several bands, including The Slits until beginning her solo career.
Releasing her first single Buffalo Stance and performing it while 7 months pregnant on Top Of The Pops garnered Cherry instant success, with her first album Raw Like Sushi, which won a Brit award in 1990 and she received a Grammy nomination. Cherry went on to record two further solo albums and collaborate with Massive Attack, Tricky and Portishead,all of whom, Cherry has helped kick start their careers through her production company The Cherry Bear Organisation. Perhaps her most famous collaboration was with Youssou N'Dour, for their song 7 Seconds. The song was internationally successful and earned Cherry her second Grammy nomination.
In 2012 Cherry worked with Scandinavian left field improv jazz heavyweights The Thing to make the widely acclaimed & heavily awarded Cherry Thing album which forced Cherry yet again right back to the top of the innovators pile. More recently Cherry joined RocketNumberNine & Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet) in 2013 to make her first solo album in sixteen years, Blank Project, which premiered at MIF13.

NEW YORK: External Affairs Minister S M Krishna met family members of victims of Oak Creek Gurudwara shooting and said India and the US stand united against those who perpetrate a culture of violence and hatred. Krishna paid a visit to the Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee and met the family of priest Punjab Singh, who is still in coma after being critically injured in the August shooting. He later met with families of six Sikh persons who were killed when lone gunman Wade Michael Page went on a shooting rampage in the gurudwara, critically injuring three others. Expressing condolences and grief on behalf of the people and the Indian government, Krishna said such incidents remind of the grim challenges that we face from perverse ideologies. The senseless act of violence is more tragic because it happened in a place of worship, devotion and peace, Krishna said as he addressed over 300 members of the Sikh community at the Milwaukee gurudwara. He added that all rightly-thinking people in India, the US and across the world had condemned the barbaric act. The world has to be rid of such intolerant bigots who perpetrate a culture of hate and violence, he asserted calling for a unity regardless of nationalities and religious affiliations to fight such forces. Krishna, who traveled to Wisconsin after attending the 67th session of the UN General Assembly here, had discussed the gurudwara tragedy in his meeting with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier in New York. He said both he and Clinton agreed that as democracies and privileged societies that have always upheld the highest ideals of pluralism, diversity and religious freedom, India and the US must stand together against violence and hate. We shall not be intimidated by such senseless violence and would continue to pursue (our) faiths and nobody dare obstruct that culture, Krishna said. The minister also expressed appreciation for US President Barack Obama speaking to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh immediately after the shooting. He also termed as extraordinary gesture the order that American flags be flown at half mast in honor of the victims. Krishna said Obamas message of support and sympathy was a source of assurance to the Sikh community.

AUSTIN (AP) - In June 1999, as lawmakers were thinking about a George W. Bush presidency and its effects on state government, Sen. Bill Ratliff said he would not campaign for the lieutenant governor's post. He acknowledged, however, that he wanted it.
Ratliff, who holds one of the state's most powerful positions as the Senate Finance Committee chairman, says he is still interested in succeeding Lt. Gov. Rick Perry.
"I have told all my colleagues that I would be honored, that I would love to do the job and I think I could do it fairly, which I think is the primary qualification," said Ratliff, a consulting civil engineer from Mount Pleasant.
Ratliff has been in the Senate since 1989. He was in the spotlight over the summer when budget projections showed that the state's surplus would not be as large as once thought.
When Vice President Al Gore came to the state to criticize Bush's tax cuts as the culprit for the budget shortfall, Ratliff and other state officials sent a letter to him, asking for a meeting.
The letter said that as public officials, Ratliff and the others had an obligation to report to the public about balanced budget and surplus.
In the 1999 session, he worked with state Rep. Rob Junell, D-San Angelo, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, waging an ultimately unsuccessful battle to persuade lawmakers to propose a new constitution. He has said he doesn't know whether they'll try again in the 2001 session, which convenes Jan. 9.
The proposal would have expanded the powers of the governor and combined the state Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Ratliff said that if he is chosen to step in as lieutenant governor, he would run for re-election in 2002.
"I don't think there is a member of the Senate that would not like to be the presiding officer," Ratliff said.

A Broadband Battle At Last
Germany's Web surfers will soon have options -- and Deutsche Telekom is worried
If you're a serious net surfer in Germany, you pretty much have one choice for broadband service -- Deutsche Telekom is it. The former state monopoly has used its ownership of the nation's land-line network to scoop up virtually all the market for broadband based on digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, which makes use of existing copper wires. Meanwhile, Deutsche Telekom's T-Online unit dominates Internet access, too (Internet access and broadband are sold separately here). "Germany is one of the least-open markets," says Pierpaolo Festino, senior vice-president for marketing and sales at Sardinia-based access provider Tiscali. Festino gripes that Germany has dragged its feet implementing European Union competition rules.
Yet the walls of Fortress Telekom could soon start to crack. A revised German telecommunications law, to take effect no later than July 1, will allow competitors such as America Online Inc. (TWX ) to buy broadband connections wholesale from Deutsche Telekom and resell them. Meanwhile, companies like Kabel Deutschland are upgrading the cable-TV network, once owned mostly by Deutsche Telekom, in order to offer high-speed Internet access via cable, as well as digital TV.
Elsewhere in Europe, freer competition has led to steep declines in market share by the ex-monopoly. In Italy, Telecom Italia's (TI ) share of the retail broadband market has fallen to less than 50% as the country moved more quickly to comply with EU competition rules. The Germans could be about to experience the same shift. "Deutsche Telekom will remain dominant, there's no question about that," says Hellen K. Omwando, a Forrester Research Inc. analyst in Amsterdam (FORR ) "But market share is declining and will continue to decline." While Deutsche Telekom accounts for over 90% of DSL connections, signs of slippage are there. Measured by actual DSL usage, its share fell to 85% at the end of 2003 from 93.5% in 2001, according to Duisburg-based Dialog Consult.
Already, rivalry among Internet service providers is taking a toll on T-Online. Analysts were taken aback in May when T-Online disclosed that 3.25 million of its 11.07 million users in Germany are not subscribers but "pay as you go" customers who only incur fees when they use the service. The overwhelming majority of the pay-as-you-go customers dial in less than once a month and generate little if any revenue. That's bad news: T-Online is crucial to Deutsche Telekom's broadband future. Internet access providers will probably serve as the platform for revenue-generating broadband services like videoconferencing or online games. Without healthy subscriber demand for such services, DT would be just a commodity provider of bandwidth.
Now there is speculation about a dramatic shift in broadband strategy as Deutsche Telekom moves to protect its franchise. One possibility is that DT would buy up the 20% stake in T-Online that trades publicly and then merge the unit with its land-line business. Though Deutsche Telekom says it has no immediate plans for a merger, such a move would make for better coordination between the ISP side and the broadband business. Meanwhile, T-Online CEO Thomas Holtrop has begun cutting broadband prices in anticipation of heightened competition. Effective June 1, an unlimited-use DSL connection will cost about $48 a month, down from $72.
How fast Deutsche Telekom loses broadband market share will depend on how the new telecom law works out. The company must negotiate with rivals over the terms under which they will be able to buy broadband connections wholesale, as well as piggyback on DT's network. "It will be a bit easier to compete," says Ralph Dommermuth, CEO of Hamburg-based United Internet, which competes with T-Online. But he and others want more leeway to bolt their own technology, such as faster download speeds, onto the existing DT network before they're satisfied. "We're still a long way from a breakthrough," says Jürgen Grützner, president of the Association of Telecommunications & Value-Added Service Providers, a Berlin industry group. Because of weak competition, customers have been slow to adopt broadband services so far. At least Germans now have a chance to do some serious Net surfing.

The latest version of InactivityWatch attempts to fix a potential UI taint issue, where when a popup message would show up, it could potenially taint the user's talents/glyphs frame
Ever looked for a way to keep track of inactive guild members in an easy way? Here's the answer for you... InactivityWatch is designed to help manage inactive guildies.
Depending on your settings, this addon can help you keep track of inactive members by demoting them to the lowest rank in your guild, or even removing them from your guild entirely. (An example of a more complicated setup would have InactivityWatch remove only inactive recruits, by disabling the 'inactive demote' threshold and setting only a ban threshold with banlowestonly turned on.)
On top of all that, you can use any custom flags you want. Just put a § (Use ALT+0167 on your keyboard if the symbol's not already there.) in their officer's note, followed by whatever letter/number/character you want, and it will do what you told it to do. (For instructions on how to set up a custom flag, just look inside the addon's FlagDef.lua) It comes with three built-in flags:
|The addon will completely ignore this player.
|The addon will force this player to the lowest rank
|(Internal), This is set by the addon on anyone who uses it.
Slash Commands
Here's a quick rundown on how to set up "GRUpdate" (Short for GuildRosterUpdate, this is what it's called in the code). We'll call it that here, because it makes our slash command easier to remember.
The base command for GRUpdate is /gru. From there, we have this: (Optional arguments in [])
|Show the ingame help
|Turn GRUpdate on or off
|Enables a mode where the addon will not make changes to the guild roster.
Think of it as a safe mode to try out your new settings, where it still reports changes, but doesn't actually make them. This is enabled the first time you run the addon.
|Toggles removal of the lowest-ranked members only.
|Show how long until the next roster scan
[-i|-b] days
|Change the activity and inactivity thresholds.
Just entering the days will change the active threshold (-1 disables this feature. Default is 10 days)
Using -i will set the inactivity threshold. (-1 disables this feature. Default is 180 days [6 months])
Using -b will set the ban threshold. (-1 disables this feature. Disabled by default.)
min|max mm:ss
|Change the time range that GRUpdate will try to use between updates. Changing this setting isn't recommended unless you understand how it works.
|Force the addon to run a roster update. Please use sparingly, as this can cause high server, CPU and Memory load while updating larger rosters
|Count out and show the number of people who meet the criteria for activity and inactivity.
|Toggle saving the last rank of demoted players.
|Toggle debug mode. (While in debug mode, changes are not made to the roster, only printed to chat, which makes it useful for testing new configs.)
This setting is not saved between sessions, and is set automatically for alpha builds of GRUpdate
|Allows you to specify a frame where GRUpdate will print messages. (Frame must have AddMessage method, and name is case-sensitive)
Default Settings
Here's the exact default settings table copied right from the addon's source code. (This looks a lot nicer on Curseforge)
-- The default settings -- Timeouts are defined first by minutes range, then seconds range. Not specific time periods. -- EX. If you set MaxTimeout to 30:30, you'll never get a timeout like 20:45 local settingsDefault = { SV_Ver = "1", --Settings Version (Change this to force a settings reset) Enabled = true, -- Enabled SavePlayerData = true, -- Save Player Data? If false, don't save the last ranks of players when demoting BanLowestOnly = true, -- Ban the lowest-ranked players only. MinTimeout = {10,0}, -- The minimum timeout time between updates (10 minutes 0 seconds) MaxTimeout = {59,59}, -- The maximum timeout time between updates (59 minutes 59 seconds) Thresholds = { -- The times the addon looks for in active members Active = 10, -- Be active in the last X days to be restored Inactive = 180, -- Be inactive for this long to be demoted. Ban = -1, -- Be inactive for this long to be gkicked. }, ChatFrame = "DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME", -- The chat frame where we print messages PlayerData = {}, -- Irrelavent, this stores the last ranks and names of players demoted. }
MISCONFIGURING THIS ADDON CAN HAVE DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR GUILD. I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBILE FOR ANY MISHAPS BECAUSE OF MISCONFIGURATION. BE SURE TO RUN THE ADDON IN TEST MODE IF YOU WISH TO TEST CHANGES. To run the addon in test mode, just type /gru testmode and hit enter. Once in test mode, the addon won't make changes to the guild, but will show you the changes it wanted to make.
Please Note
This addon is not designed for more than one person in a guild to run it... The results of having multiple people of the same guild using the addon haven't been tested, but due to the nature of the addon, could cause conflicts of interest between guild members and settings.
