US, SA must trade more: Clinton
11 August 2009
South Africa's economic policies are sound, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told delegates at a business function in Johannesburg, where she called for stronger trading ties between South Africa and the United States.
"Your banks are free of the bad loans that the US has had to deal with. We can learn a lot from your example," she told a Business Unity South Africa function on Friday.
While the global economic crisis had created "dangerous instability" everywhere, Clinton said South Africa's underlying economic fundamentals put the country in a promising position to "move forward when we come out of the crisis".
South Africa was also a member of the G20, one of the most important emerging economies in the world, and positioned to propel growth throughout Africa.
Clinton called for stronger trading ties between South Africa and the USA. "We know the benefit of open markets and seek to deepen our bilateral relationship," she said, adding that there were over 600 US companies in South Africa.
She noted that through the US's African Growth and Opportunity Act, 98% of South African exports entered the US duty-free.
"South Africa's economy is becoming increasingly international, you only have to look at a company like SABMiller to see that."
Economic ties between the US and South Africa had "a lot of room" to grow, and she was eager to explore the establishment of a US-South Africa business council. "We'll follow up on that in Washington next month."
She encouraged South Africa to trade with its African partners, saying trade levels within the continent were extremely low. "South Africa cannot fulfill its economic potential if it exists as an island of relative prosperity amid a sea of untapped opportunity elsewhere on the continent."
Turning to South Africa itself, Clinton said she wanted to support President Jacob Zuma's emphasis on rural development and infrastructure. "I believe that rural development has for too long been ignored, and eventually the problem of rural poverty becomes an urban problem."
She commended South Africa for promoting conditions necessary for business to succeed. "Investors don't like civil unrest, corruption or crime."
She was pleased to be in the country during Women's Month, and said building a thriving economy depended on women being drawn into economic life.
Zuma's appointment of Gill Marcus as governor of the SA Reserve Bank highlighted the role women were playing in the country's economy. "There are so many examples of successful women in South Africa," adding that a focus on women was part of US foreign policy.
"Being in South Africa motivates me and my team to do all we can to make sure our assistance is useful to you. Although there is much to be done, I look forward to working closely with you."
Turning to Zimbabwe, Clinton added that President Barack Obama took the present conditions in that country personally.
"You have three to four million Zimbabwean refugees in SA. It's a cost to you. In Zimbabwe, services need to be delivered to the people, and we'll be working closely with South Africa when it comes to Zimbabwe."
Clinton said Africa needed to tell a positive story about countries such as South Africa and Botswana – "and then we must improve conditions elsewhere in Africa".
Clinton is on an 11-day trip to the continent. She has already visited Kenya and after South Africa will travel to Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Liberia and Cape Verde.

The 2009 Minyanville Festivus to Benefit Children's Education
Hundreds of Minyans gathered for good food, good fun, and a great cause
As we enter 2010, we'll ask that you make a conscious effort to be good to others and better to yourself. A wise man once said that this too shall pass and it most certainly will. The goal, at least from where I sit, is to make each day count and have few, if any, regrets.
We all have goals and aspirations; that's what makes us tick and motivates us to get out of bed each morning. It's often easy to forget that by the time we get to where we want to be, the journey will have already ended.
Thank you all-our sponsors, our staff, our partners and ye faithful -- for making Festivus 2009 a smashing success. If you would like to contribute to our cause and help affect positive change -- please know it's not too late, every little bit helps and we would most certainly appreciate it with a Ruby wink. ;)
May peace be with you.

It's a miracle they had time to talk with the pollster. A survey conducted on behalf of Dove Chocolate by International Communications Research finds American women terribly short of time for themselves. Thirty-seven percent said they "rarely or never make time to do something special just for themselves," and the figure rises to 46 percent among those with kids in the household. It's not that they feel guilty about taking "me time." A mere 10 percent said they "don't make more time for themselves because it would be selfish." Rather, 51 percent said they are too busy to make such time. Among those age 30-41, 72 percent said so.
Hurray: Advertising is not the least-trusted source of information on shopping and products. That distinction belongs to salespeople. In polling for ShopSmart, a new magazine published by Consumers Union, women were asked to pick the source they trust most and the one they trust least for such information. Atop the "trust most" list were friends/family, cited by 45 percent. Also scoring in double digits were online user reviews (13 percent) and news media (11 percent). Seven percent picked advertising, bless 'em. Manufacturer and retailer Web sites had even fewer partisans, and salespeople had scarcely any at all. In the "trust least" vote, salespeople were tops (picked by 39 percent of respondents), though advertising ran a strong second (31 percent). Anyhow, it seems the information source women care most about is the price tag. As you can see from the chart at lower left, price dictates many of women's shopping choices, though less so in ones where personal chic is involved. One last tidbit from the survey: The number of women who've purchased auto repairs in the past three months (28 percent) exceeds the number who've bought lingerie (22 percent). In a departure from "Takes" custom, we'll decline even to speculate about what this might say for modern life.
After all the wailing and gnashing of dentures that marked the confusing sign-up period, old folks who enrolled in the federal government's new Medicare prescription-drug program are largely satisfied with the benefit so far. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll found 50 percent of enrollees saying they're "very satisfied" with the coverage under the plan they chose, with another 31 percent "somewhat satisfied." Asked about their "overall experience" in using their drug plan, 40 percent characterized it as "very positive" and 36 percent as "somewhat positive." The 17 percent who said they're paying more for their prescriptions than they did before enrolling are far outnumbered by the 46 percent who said they're paying less. The vast majority (74 percent) would choose the same plan if they had it to do over again. These mainly favorable judgments come despite the fact that 34 percent of the enrollees have experienced a problem in using the program, including 18 percent who've had a "major problem."
When consumers reduce their spending to compensate for the effects of high gasoline prices, what sort of expenditures get trimmed? In polling by WSL Strategic Retail, fashion accessories, clothing, home decor, electronics and entertainment were high on the roster. Among people adopting gas-price-related austerities, at least 70 percent said they've reduced their spending in each of those areas. Somewhat fewer had reined in their outlays for magazines, CDs/DVDs, specialty coffee and fragrances.
Consumer confidence naturally tends to be higher among well-to-do Americans than among their poorer compatriots. But a report from the University of Michigan says gas prices "have driven a wedge" between income groups. "Comparing households in the lower one-third of the income distribution with those in the top third, the difference in the overall measure of consumer sentiment was larger than at any time since the early 1980s." No wonder mass-market retailers hanker after upmarket customers.

You Will Always Be Her First Love

A Real Winner
A Real Winner
The birth of a boy – the beginning of a man,
Will he ever achieve what his Dad thinks he can?
Relying on Mom wanting only to hug her
A winner, a loser, or a common shoulder shrugger.
A winner goes forth with goals all too clear
With desire in his heart, and complaints no one can hear.
When he wins – he is gracious – so proud but humble.
If he loses by chance, you'll not hear him grumble.
Asked why, at a loss, he'll look you square in the eye
Put his hands on his hips and hold back every cry.
"We tried all the way from whistle to gun,
The scoreboard says no, but in our hearts we still won."
"We'll bounce back for sure, on that you can bet,
We'll try even harder, you've seen nothing yet."
He vibrates with power, his friends condescend
He lives in a way it's his nature to win.
A loser is different, his goals are unclear,
His desire is so small, he complains all in fear.
He brags and he boasts, all glory his claim,
When he loses, he cries and gives others the blame.
Asked why at a loss, looking down, talking loose,
He'll always now why – he has an excuse.
His team always losing, he knows every reason,
Alibi witnessed, he'll wait till next season.
Then there's the shrugger, he's different yet,
Playing only for fun, never worked a sweat.
He never tries hard, it's not worth the strife,
Win a few, lose a few, oh well now, that's life.
And what will you be little man frail with youth?
Winner, loser, or a shrugger, time will soon tell the truth.
I know Mom and Dad will be glad in relief
When they see in your eyes that look of belief.
Believe in your parents, your coaches, your dreams,
and let Christ's shining light guide your life with its beams.
Thank him oft for his gift to each one – a poor sinner,
He went through a lot to make you a real winner.
It's my wish this day as the older you grow
That you'll think of these words for always to know,
And someday I pray they will say at the end,
You lived in a way, 'twas your nature to Win.
— The Old Coach

well, if G is abelian, every element has just one conjugate, itself. this means that the only abelian groups which fit the bill have just 2 elements.
on the other hand, if G is not abelian, then we have at least |Z(G)| conjugacy classes. since we are assuming Z(G) ≠ G, this means the center has to be trivial.
now we can only have one other conjugacy class, which by the class equation has size the index of the normalizer [G:N(a)] for some non-central (which in this case means non-identity) element a.
so we have [G:N(a)] = |G| - 1, or |N(a)|(|G| - 1) = |G|, or better still: |N(a)| = |G|/(|G| - 1). |G|/(|G| - 1) has to be a positive integer, and |G| = 2 is not allowed (we covered that in the abelian case). how is this possible?

Arresting Alex Sanchez: Part 10 – Judge Manual Real is RemovedJanuary 13th, 2012 by Celeste Fremon
On Wednesday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals made the surprising decision to remove controversial Judge Manual Real from the federal RICO case that involves Alex Sanchez.
This news shocked nearly everyone who is closely tracking the Sanchez matter. Yanking a federal judge from a case is anything but business as usual.
As most longtime WitnessLA readers know, Alex Sanchez is the Salvadoran-born, former MS-13 gang member turned highly respected gang violence reduction activist who has been accused of a long list of Federal racketeering and conspiracy charges. According to the government's case, the supposedly reformed Sanchez never reformed at all, but remained, in reality, a MS-13 shot caller who ordered at least one murder.
(For the rest of the backstory click here and then scroll down a bunch and read from the bottom up.)
The judge assigned to his case, U.S. District Court Judge Manual Real, was appointed to the federal bench in 1966 by Lyndon Johnson.
At nearly 88 (his birthday is Jan. 27), Real is what we used to call a character. He has spent 45 years on the same bench and, in his court room, he projects an image that combines the demeanor of an irascible uncle who mutters loudly and tyrannically over his soup at Thanksgiving dinner, with that of a glowering bird of prey.
Yet, unlike your irascible uncle, Real wields enormous power over the lives of those who come before him. According to his critics, who are many and varied, he is a bully on the bench who often makes up his mind on a case before it goes to trial and then may visibly telegraphs his opinion to all in the courtroom. He once threatened to throw then California Attorney General Dan Lungren into jail for contempt and used to be known for telling lawyers "This isn't Burger King. We don't do it your way here."
Real's reversal rate is estimated to be 10 times the average for sitting federal judges.
He has had at least ten cases outright snatched away from him by appeals courts.
In 2006, there was serious talk of impeaching him.
Even in the Sanchez case, it took four separate hearings and the interference of the 9th Circuit, before Real would allow Sanchez' attorney to fully present arguments for setting bail for Sanchez. (However, to Real's credit, in January of 2010 Real called for a special closed door hearing, after which he did set Sanchez's bail at $2 million, an amount that friends and supporters had already raised in the form of surities and property.)
Since Sanchez was originally arrested on the RICO charges in June 2009, this means, had thee been no bail he would have spent, as of this writing, 2 years and 7 months in jail, with no trial as yet in sight.
The change in judges will, of course, push Sanchez' trial back still further.
Yet, with the alarming wild card presence of Judge Real now removed, no one in either the Sanchez or the prosecution camps, appears to be complaining.
NOTE: In the interest of transparency, it's important that I tell those of you new to this story that I consider Alex Sanchez a respected and valued friend. This means that while I work very hard to give readers the most factual possible information on the issue, I also have strong feelings about this case.

you don´t need that book, James knows it all. great video!
August 10, 2010 at 1:27 pm
The Knowledgeable horror movie Universal and Hammer nerd KHMUHN!!
August 10, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I wonder if James gets drunk in the next videos.
August 10, 2010 at 3:40 pm
lol. i think you guys need to go around the table identifying yourselves at every one of these trivia-thons, or you're going to get asked the "is that james' wife?" question at EVERY ONE OF THESE TRIVIA-THONS. but @Butch Bitch, i don't think james is gonna get drunk in the next videos. everyone with him, and everyone watching the videos, is going to get drunk out of sheer despair, knowing they can never hope to compete with his horrible knowledge, and he'll end up being the designated driver by default.
August 10, 2010 at 3:42 pm
James, You should do a Godzilla trivia.
August 10, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Hey glad you enjoy. We only did a few chapters from the book. Maybe we'll do the rest later. The Dracula chapter was done before we thought of the idea to record them, so there wouldn't be much point doing the chapter over. Wouldn't be real. Sorry for the bar atmosphere, it changes location a bit. Might get a little better. The friends with me are Mike Matei, Matt Conant and Stephanie Yuhas. More interviews from Monster Bash to come, as well as a special one in the next couple days.
August 10, 2010 at 4:14 pm
This shit's so entertaining. I could watch this guy doing anything w/o ever being bored.
August 10, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Man, good stuff!
I actually liked the bar atmosphere, made it more fun I thought!
You're the man Mr. Rolfe!
August 10, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Special interview at Monster Bash…woohoo. How's footage from Blob Fest (you recorded some, right?).
I wonder who the special interview is…..I can't possibly imagine anyone topping Tom Savini.
August 10, 2010 at 4:59 pm
IMDB is giving a fan theory. All 4 Kharis films were supposed to be set roughly when they were made. Continuity from movie to movie wasn't as important back then as it is now. But 97? How'd they com up with that number?
August 10, 2010 at 5:11 pm
The Nerd should really should review more movies. I think the last movie was TMNT III and that was awesome
August 10, 2010 at 5:12 pm
@mingleton: The bar setting itself is okay, but there is so much noise in the background that I sometimes have trouble hearing the question, answers or what they're saying. But it is just fun seeing a few friends in a bar having fun. My only gripe is the sound.
August 10, 2010 at 6:30 pm
You scare me with your smarts on this trivia James. Nicely done. bar settings are good do more just if you could edit out the noise from the background 😛
August 10, 2010 at 6:58 pm
wow whatta nerd 😀
August 10, 2010 at 7:26 pm
I like watching these because I'm a trivia buff as well and know shit people should not know. Very entertaining and now I want that book 😀
August 10, 2010 at 8:13 pm
I got an idea James! Since you already did the Dracula section even though we didn't see it, how about each week you can post a different Dracula question for us fans to answer. That would be swell.
August 10, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Hey, does anybody know that song that's playing at around 2:30?
August 10, 2010 at 9:39 pm
haha this is awesome, i would love to drink some beers with ya and talk about universal movies, im a huge fan
August 10, 2010 at 9:46 pm
It would be cool do see a movie trivia battle with James and Doug.
August 10, 2010 at 9:47 pm
jesus christ man !!!.. id give anything to hang out and have a beer and listen to mr. rolfe know everything haha seriously ..best idea to film this shit and put it up ..thanks guys.. Cinemassacre for life!!
August 10, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Way to go James you totally pwned that book 😀
August 10, 2010 at 10:44 pm
I agree with about all the people that comment in this forum like page, well i mean message board in a way, but yeah this is really entertaining, you can get better then this, and yeah I want to see "Jame Rofle Knows" (however you spell your fucking last name, lmfao)
August 10, 2010 at 10:53 pm
If any other person did this, I'd say they were cheating…but James, I have no doubt you know all this monster movie trivia, and perhaps more than any other mortal man lol
August 10, 2010 at 11:01 pm
i'm not sure why, but I get a weird sense of enjoyment from seeing good friends who I don't know personally having a good time at social events…wow that makes me seem really weird…
August 10, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Great video, can't wait for more, now you have me all pumped for monster madness this year!
August 10, 2010 at 11:21 pm
These Trivia segments are really great. In a way they are all reminding me of Spock with the education testing computers that he ends up with all correct answers until they ask "How do you feel" James has a few of those how do you feel moments but it is still astounding how many things he gets right.
If that Singing Mummy Musical ever gets to Broadway just remember you cursed the world with it. She should know what I am talking about.
August 11, 2010 at 12:28 am
Aww, Matt just showed me that you guys posted these! Awesome that you decided to put them on the site – i figured they would end up in the home movie bin 🙂
Keep on truckin' you guys.
August 11, 2010 at 12:33 am
It's nice to see the more "normal" side of James. Just being himself. Tho I must say that I'm a little scared of how much he knows.
August 11, 2010 at 4:24 am
James just killed it.
August 11, 2010 at 6:45 am
Sounds like your getting a bit tipsy near the end their 🙂
August 11, 2010 at 12:12 pm
exposing the nerd.. P :
August 11, 2010 at 12:20 pm
look at how proud he is
August 11, 2010 at 6:36 pm
James is the guy I would love to have a drink with and just talk about all this stuff. That, or I would love to see him on Mastermind.
August 11, 2010 at 9:11 pm
I like the idea of James vs. Doug at movie trivia, but I have a feeling you might have to include more recent movies to level the playing field. It seems like Doug's focus is more on more modern films. I would like even better if it was James vs. a special TGWTG team of Doug plus some of his site's other film reviewers: Nostalgia Chick, Film Brain, etc. I like those guys, but I think you'd pwn them and it would be a guilty pleasure.
August 11, 2010 at 11:32 pm
Awesome, I'm loving these videos, again my mom was able to get a few. We are now looking forward to more of these.
August 12, 2010 at 9:39 am
Does that book contain trivia from the FRIDAY THE 13TH movies cause i only have PART VII NEW BLOOD on dvd and i would love to know all the trivia in the movie also whos your camera man or girl is it your sister cause i did see someone in the backround when your night of the living dead was shot and i saw a girl in the backround with a camera. I would like to talk to u james your awesome i think i like you when your in AVGN mode cause your comedic and angry its hilarious.
August 12, 2010 at 11:58 am
What a fucking joke. How does James remember this. I'm still trying to find these dam movies and here he is stating all of the facts. Great work James. 🙂
August 12, 2010 at 6:52 pm
So a Mummy movie that was made in the 40's takes place in the 90's?! That would be funny to see the 90's look 40's-esque!
August 13, 2010 at 6:59 am
After seeing this, I'd definitely watch a show by James called "The Angry Classic Monster Movie Nerd", where does reviews of them.
August 13, 2010 at 11:53 pm
Haha James ! That bitch next to you wanted your dick , you need to at least make a little eye contact . I'd hit that after a few beers.
August 14, 2010 at 9:32 am
Wow, that chick seems really annoying!
August 16, 2010 at 7:08 pm
James.. are you drinking a ::gasp:: Smirnoff Ice or other womanly malt beverages? For shame!
Mike seemed to be too sober for me, and i understand as he is the "host" and is reading the questions, but James could be much more drunk to make the movie more entertaining.
My wife says that if everyone stood up at the end of the movie clip and everyone was pants-less, would be the only thing to make it better. And more drinking.
August 18, 2010 at 2:14 am
Heh awesome stuff.
I feel good about myself I Actually got 3 of them right. O_O
But whatever….Nerds Wooh!!
August 19, 2010 at 2:38 pm
love this.. I dont know shit about this trivia but you guys seem to just be a group of realy nice people having a relaxing time with some trivia. Great to watch imo, keeps this up. Hopefully there will be a trivia I have some knowledge about sooner or later =P
August 19, 2010 at 2:45 pm
by the by… you sure know your stuff James, incredible. Even if the trivia would have been about high preformance cars like I enjoy alot I would never be able to learn all the different years of when different cars were released etc…
really impressive
August 24, 2010 at 2:28 pm
thats definitely not a smirnoff friggin ice.
that bar looks realllly familiar and, as its obvious you live in pa, there's pttsburgh shit everywhere. maybe james lives closer than i thought.
he's a good example of what western pa spawns as well. 3 of my close friends are avid filmmakers and buffs, 2 of which went to ithica in ny.
August 27, 2010 at 11:56 am
That girl is horrible. Execute her.
October 28, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Outloud by Dispatch at 7:42-8:39.
You know more about Frankenstein, but WHAT THE HELL. Now I need to see the Wolfman trivia. (Not that I wouldn't watch it anyway.)
October 26, 2011 at 12:10 pm
It's just impressive how much you know about horror movies. Steph's reactions are hilarious xD I like her theory about how the singing portion of James' brain was replaced with Mummy's facts, lol
The Angry Horror Trivia Geek, that should be James' next character 😛
November 6, 2011 at 6:04 am
This is like watching a pilot for Over Analyzers.
February 19, 2012 at 5:15 pm
What's better than sitting around in a bar with some music, friends, drinks and talking about some movies?
August 8, 2013 at 10:07 am
James is such a bro! Wish I could chill with him.
March 7, 2016 at 5:08 pm
These videos are awesome! I love how blown away Mike is every time James answers correctly. I would be, too. It's unreal.

A large bedroom, beautifully decorated with carved wood panels depicting ancient Bora Bora legends, opens onto an enclosed private garden, where a large sun deck overlooks a plunge pool. The fare potee (outdoor lounge) with comfortable bench seats and a table is the perfect spot for an intimate meal. At the back of the bedroom, the bathroom opens to its own garden area.
10 Otemanu View Beach Suites with Jacuzzi
At the very edge of the beach, the Beach Suites feature an enclosed garden with a sundeck and a full-size outdoor Jacuzzi for our guests' complete privacy. The bedroom, where two twin beds can easily replace a king-size bed, opens onto a large, comfortable living room with a dazzling view of the lagoon and Mount Otemanu, and direct access to the beach. The suites also offer a large indoor/outdoor bathroom opening directly onto the private garden.
41 Overwater and Premium Overwater Bungalows (Lagoon or Otemanu View)
Overwater bungalows were invented in French Polynesia and have set the worldwide standard for more than half a century. They are an integral part of the Tahitian dream holiday, and the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort & Spa offers 50 thatch-roofed luxury bungalows set over the lagoon.
The The Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort & Spa offers four categories of overwater bungalows : the Standard bungalows are closer to land, the Lagoon view Premium Overwater, the Otemanu view Premium overwater bungalows and the End of pontoon have better views of the lagoon and Bora Bora's famous Mount Otemanu.

All our overwater bungalows are 53 square meters (570 sq. ft.), with a large outdoor terrace, its deck chairs and sheltered sitting area. On the lower sun deck, a shower and easy stairs into the lagoon, which is shallow enough for an adult to safely touch the sandy bottom. Each bungalow has glass bedside tables and coffee tables to admire the lagoon fish – and even feed them through the sliding top, a desk area with an Ethernet connection, and a multimedia console. Each bungalow features a king-size bed and a vast bathroom with bathtub and separate shower. The vanity area and the bathtub also feature glass tops to look into the lagoon.
9 End of Pontoon Overwater Bungalows
The 9 End of Pontoon Overwater Bungalows are the best that the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort & Spa has to offer.

IntoUniversity: Path to a better future
Young people with diverse backgrounds often lack knowledge about opportunities – and confidence, too. Even if they are top achievers in school, many are unsure about pursing a university degree. IntoUniversity caters to those students.
Long-term support
In 2007, Deutsche Bank approached the education charity IntoUniversity to explore how some of the bank's recent graduate recruits could offer support to disadvantaged young people seeking to study at British universities, including top institutions such as the University of Cambridge.
The result is an innovative mentoring scheme to support school students in their final year of study to ensure they realize their ambitions. It is one of the largest educational initiatives available to British students nationwide, with more than 2,700 students benefitting from the program in 23 locations.
Together with Deutsche Bank, IntoUniversity offers young people practical assistance, coupled with emotional support, to foster self-esteem. The program includes a weekend visit to a university and the opportunity to stay in college accommodations, as well as focus days, focus weeks and focus weekends. Students have monthly meetings with their corporate mentors who support their academic studies and prepare them for university life, including student finances and the practicalities of independent living.
In 2012, a commendable 87 percent of the students participating in the IntoUniversity corporate mentoring scheme were admitted to a university. In fact, eight students from some of London's toughest neighborhoods are now studying at Cambridge with the support of Deutsche Bank mentors.
IntoUniversity is one of many educational programs that Deutsche Bank supports to help talented and motivated young people from disadvantaged backgrounds receive an education and achieve their full potential.
"A place at a top university can transform a young person's fortunes. This scheme shows the impact that can be achieved through partnerships between charities and corporations."
Successful students
87%of the students on IntoUniversity's corporate mentoring scheme achieved a university place in 2012.

Mr. Pye was what was called "chanter" to the cathedral, which meant that it was he who had the privilege of selecting the music for the chants and other portions of the service, when the dean did not do so himself.
A "chanter" is the drone of a bagpipe, and a good supply of wind is required to fill it.
The songs were originally sung by the crews of ships while they worked on deck and the term comes from the French verb 'chanter' (to sing).
Typically, a single "chanter" provides narration and recites every character's lines using different voices, accompanied by the shamisen, a traditional three-stringed instrument.

Getting To Know Berhalter: A Look Back
The Columbus Dispatch - March 08, 2014 10:07 AM
Today marks the official beginning of the Gregg Berhalter era for the Crew. The seventh head coach in club history will lead the Crew for the first time in today's season opener at D.C. United.
So what does that mean, and how will the Crew play with Berhalter at the helm? It's a question I've asked a number of players – and Berhalter himself – since he was hired in early November. Here's a chronological look back at what sort of answers I've received leading up to today's game.
January 23
One day before preseason officially opened, midfielder/forward Justin Meram offered his initial impressions of Berhalter.
"He brings an intensity and his style of play and I think that's something that's been missing the last couple years is we need someone that has played at the highest level for U.S. Soccer," he said. "He's going to bring that style. That's what we all grew up around. It's going to be exciting."
Jan. 24
Various members of the Crew gathered inside the Upper 90 club to discuss the start of the preseason.
What was Berhalter looking for as he tried to install his vision for the club?
"I want the ball to do the work," he said. "I think that's important. That's what I think, if we can impart anything these first couple of weeks it's the ball is the most important part of the game. Us having the ball, us moving the ball is key to us being successful. It sounds like a very easy concept but it's hard in reality. It gets complicated by decision-making and technical ability and all those things. We just want to make it easy for everyone."
Asked what Berhalter might be like, midfielder/forward Dominic Oduro said, "He looks like a pretty good guy. He's a players' coach. It helps to have somebody who played the game before. He sort of understands how you feel or where you're coming from. He3's new, obviously. I don't know when the ball is going to start rolling, but hopefully we're still in motion right now because we don't want to be static. I think we're headed in the right direction. It's just up to us players to make that happen."
Jan. 30
Midfielder Ben Speas said he had been impressed with Berhalter's attention to detail.
"Things are on point," he said. "We have a schedule and it's very professional. That's always great. Attention to detail, it's little things through training being pointed out. It's great to hear that feedback. I think that's what will make us better."
February 6
One day after the Crew's first preseason game, Meram described Berhalter's vision on offense as "going forward and scoring goals. I think he's bringing an exciting style and we're all excited to play that way.
"It feels great. I've felt like in years past it was so much defensive responsibilities that you couldn't even really do much attacking. I feel like he's bringing an attacking style that's going to be good for our fans to see."
Much of the early part of the preseason was dedicated to the team's offense.
Feb. 10
On the first day of training in Central Ohio, Berhalter was asked what his vision is for how the Crew should play.
"I want them to play attractive soccer," he said. "I want them to play a pass-oriented game of soccer. I like a lot of movement off the ball. I like a lot of variations in positions. I think you'll probably see a lot of that. They'll also be hard-working and they'll have a good spirit and they'll be well organized."
Midfielder Bernardo Anor said the Crew was still adjusting to a new viewpoint.
"Coaches, they vary all across the league," he said. "There's always a different mind-set that coaches bring to the room and you've just got to adjust and get used to it. Something similar is playing inside. It's something that has worked in the past, but now we're emphasizing those movements more and I think he wants you to do that often so you get used to it. By doing that, you can see that the space opens up and we create a lot of chances on the offensive part. On the defensive part, he's asking the same thing: working hard and being responsible with your man and positioning yourself well."
Feb. 20
One day after defeating Toronto FC 3-1 as part of the Disney Pro Soccer Classic in Kissimmee, Fla., Speas was asked if the Crew was starting to realize Berhalter's vision for how he wanted the team to play.
"We've been working on it for a while here," he said. "Even though we won 3-1 there's still a lot of things we can improve on. At the right times we possessed the ball and I think that's the most important thing, making them chase. The outside guys tuck in, the outside backs get forward more and I think it's great. I think a lot of things we've been working on showed yesterday."
Feb. 21
Midfielder/forward Dominic Oduro was he was impressed with the structure of the preseason compared to previous seasons.
"It's very, very organized," he said. "Everything is so structured and calculated. I feel like we're doing everything robotic, but not in a bad way. Everybody has been very responsive towards that. You shouldn't be playing if you think you know it all. In that sense, he's very, very structured and very centered on that. Other than that, everything is smooth. He gives us our own personal time."
Added midfielder Agustin Viana, "I think that he's really important to the team. He's really great. He's very detailed about everything. I don't like to compare because we're working hard and we are really good with him. The change, we must think of this season. Last season we didn't make the playoffs and that was very hard for everyone. Having two months off wasn't good. We must play in the playoffs. A club like the Crew must always play in the playoffs. We must train harder and show that we can do great things."
March 6
As he stood on the turf field at Westerville Central High School, Berhalter was asked what he most hoped to see against D.C. United.
"That we play our game," he said. "We're developing what our game is and we want to play that. Last week against (Sporting Kansas City) it was, we don't necessarily worry about the result, we want to play our game. That's the most important thing, and we did that and we got the result. This week it's a similar message. Obviously the result matters a little bit more, but it's, 'let's play our game. Let's establish our type of game against an opponent.' "
So after six-plus weeks of preseason action, how does Berhalter exactly define what he hopes to see from his players?
"It's when we control the tempo, we control the ball and not vice-versa," he said. "We make them do the running and we're constantly moving but it's in the offensive area where we have the ball. It's making them react."

Press release
Robust outlook for 2013 power and utility deals after a decline in 2012
London, 30 January 2013
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) values within the power and utility (P&U) sector during 2012 declined by 16.8% (US$120.4b, compared with US$144.7b in 2011), according to EY's quarterly Power Transactions and Trends report, released today. The report highlights that the weak macro environment prompted buyers to focus on lower-risk transactions and internal cost reduction programs.
- Deal values down 16.8% compared to 2011 on the back of global economic uncertainty and continued low natural gas prices
- Financial buyers eyeing up secure and predictable cash flows
- Robust transactions environment predicted for 2013
The average deal value for 2012 remained in line with 2011 at US$552m, with eight transactions worth over US$1b taking place in Q2 2012 alone. However, the second half of 2012 depressed the average 2012 deal value, with a higher concentration of deals under US$100m reflecting the greater emphasis on smaller deals and an increase in renewable transactions.
Looking back on 2012, Joseph Fontana, EY's Global Transactions Power & Utilities Leader, says:
"For global power and utilities, 2012 was a year of transformation in the deal-making environment. Decade-low natural gas prices in North America, aggressive European environmental regulations, continued Eurozone economic uncertainty and over-leveraged balance sheets at some of the larger European players all contributed to a tougher landscape."
Financial buyers turn aggressive
Financial deal activity from private equity, infrastructure funds and sovereign buyers reached a two-year high in 2012, with deal value rising to US$37.9b compared with US$22.5b in 2011, and contributing 31% to total 2012 deal value. There was a continued desire to acquire quality assets with predictable cash flow such as regulated operations and long-term contracted power plants.
2012 also saw European utilities looking to generate capital through divestments, prompting financial buyers to view it as the right time to build up their regulated asset portfolio. However, the second half of the year remained light on financial activity, with deal values declining 74% in H2 2012 compared with H1 2012; driven by the delays in European utilities' divestments plans and privatization programs, which kept investors on the sidelines.
Specific country and regional trends drove transaction activity in 2012
In the Americas, the total deal value and volume declined 58.2% and 16.2% respectively, compared with 2011. Depressed natural gas prices prompted some market players to hold on to generation assets, however falling margins pushed several hybrid utilities to reduce their portfolio of competitive generation in favor of redeploying capital into their regulated business.
Joseph Rodriquez, EY Global Power & Utilities Sector Resident, says:
"As a consequence of the depressed natural gas prices, the US became one of the most active countries for generation deals during 2012, with financial players emerging as the most logical buyers of these assets. Elsewhere in the Americas, Brazil continued to entice foreign investors due to strong economic growth and significant energy infrastructure investment needs and in 2012, hosting 12 deals with a cumulative value of US$8b."
Looking ahead in 2013, it is anticipated that deal activity in the Americas will be fuelled by US-based hybrid utilities exiting competitive generation assets and heightened investor interest in Latin America. There is also the potential for billion-dollar mergers in the US as utilities seek to rebalance their portfolios and get the right mix of regulated and unregulated operations.
Europe contributed close to 50% of total global deal volume and value in 2012. Divestment and privatization programs in Europe emerged as the strongest contributor to 2012 deal activity, accounting for nearly 20% of European activity as a number of utilities divested non-core assets to strengthen core businesses and expand in emerging markets. The region also continued to be the focus for renewable energy transactions, with wind the most active segment. While subsidy cut announcements curtailed some activity, momentum was maintained as utilities struggled to balance capital allocation and portfolio management while complying with aggressive environmental mandates.
In 2013, billion-dollar deals are anticipated to come out of European utility divestment programs, particularly on the regulated side, where there is strong buyer interest. Europe will also see a focus on renewables in 2013; however, there may be the continuing challenge in 2013 to get certain over-leveraged renewable projects into credit-rated financial packages.
Within Asia-Pacific, large-value transactions in China and Australia increased the 2012 deal value to US$30.1b compared with US$11.3b in 2011. In other emerging markets, including South Asia – Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, the need to meet energy demand shifted M&A focus to securing fuel supplies. In terms of outbound M&A activity, Europe remained the favorite destination for Asian investors, driven by favorable regulatory policies and availability of high-quality assets.
In 2013, growing fuel security issues, especially in countries such as India, Japan and China, are likely to make backward integration to secure the fuel supply more pronounced in Asia Pacific, with utilities acquiring coal mines and gas assets in both domestic and global markets.
2013 promises to be more robust
Despite the challenges of a weak global economy, a robust transaction environment is anticipated in 2013, with investors favoring the yield of regulated assets over the volatility of other sectors and artificially low government bond yields.
Rodriquez comments: "The ingredients are in place for a steady deal-making environment in 2013. Access to credit remains relatively strong, and there is a war chest of sovereign wealth capital ready to be put to work. The valuation gap between buyers and sellers that held up some deals in 2012 will narrow as sellers act on investor pressure to redeploy capital."
Fontana summarizes: "As global power and utility companies continue to operate in a fluid market, transaction opportunities will naturally follow. Whether the aim is to rebalance the mix of competitive and regulated businesses, reduce debt, focus core operations, or free up capital to invest in emerging markets, there will be robust activity in 2013."

My problem is that all around the edges of my leaves are turning yellow and the yellow is slowly making it's way inwards the leaves. I'm guessing it's some type of deficiency. Though I gave them some 1/4 strength Fox Farm Grow Big yesterday and gave them nutrients last friday yet they don't seem to be absorbing the nutrients. Which I guess would mean I have nutrient lock out... I P.H.'d the water and it said the P.H. was around 7.4. So would the problem be some kind of nutrient defeciency?

Do you want feedback on your writing?
So yet again, I missed my own bloggiversary. One Night Stanzas turned a truly astonishing three years old in August this year — I really can't believe I've had the staying power to keep it going all this time. Although posts have got scarcer as my work, writing and studies have got more demanding, I still receive emails all the time from writers of all walks of life. They all want, in some form, the same thing from me: help with, and feedback on, their writing.
Until now, I've generally only had the time to scribble a few lines of general encouragement back at most of these people, but as time has gone on I've come to feel more and more guilty about doing that.
Therefore, I have decided to start up a proper service for reading, editing and critiquing creative writing. Interested? Read on!
Poets: I can offer you help with everything from line-by-line workshop-style feedback on a single poem to an all-out manuscript service, and anything that falls between the two. If you need to put together a portfolio to apply to a creative writing course, if you want to get a book together, or if you just have some poems you fancy some responses to, drop me a line. I'll give line-by-line notes, a written overview and concentrate on any particular elements you'd most like to work on.
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. Feel free to send an initial tentative email with questions and whatnot first if you like.
You can find out more about the poetry service right here.
Prose writers: I can help you with the arduous task of proofreading — as an eagle-eyed college lecturer, this is a big part of my day job, and as my students would doubtless tell you I am pretty darned thorough! I can also offer a wider reading of your work and offer line-by-line feedback and a written overview. I can also help you seek out additional resources to help you progress with your project. I am happy to look at everything from flash fiction to novels, essays to academic theses.
Again, drop me a line to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com and feel free to prod me with questions, random thoughts, whatever!
You can find out more about the prose service here.
Who the heck does this woman think she is?! I hear (some of) you cry… if you want to check out my credentials then please do have a read of this, or you can click 'About' here at ONS.
Want a custom service that doesn't really fit what's written here? Want to meet in person and chat (I'm in Edinburgh)? Please do drop me a line and let me know your thoughts.
I'd love to hear from you!

|Using Style
Before we get started on the actual business of this MS Word Lesson, here is the best advice you will ever get about producing documents using Microsoft Word:
I know you won't like this. I know you won't even do it, but try it — for one semester, just try it. There is no "Reveal Codes" ( a feature of Word Perfect) in Word. If you have to try to "un-do" print commands when you're using Word, it will, I promise, make you go nuts. So, compose and key in all your text. Have notes to yourself so you will know which words will be what level headings. Do you formatting last. Let's get started on learning how to use Word's Style feature. Remember, Word DOES have its own "Help" feature. Use it to supplement what I am telling you here.
Getting to Know the Word Screen
Get in the habit of always having your Standard Tool Bar and your Formatting Tool Bar display on separate lines. You can move any of your tool bars in Word by placing your cursor at the front of the tool bar. Your cursor will change to something that looks like compass points with arrows point N, S, E and W. Just drag your tool bars around You can't hurt them.
Here is a run-down of the toolbars that are displayed in this "Betting to Know the Word Screen" picture above:
You may not see all of these toolbars when you look at your Word screen, and there are MANY other toolbars available in Word. To see the toolbars that you may choose to use, on the Menu bar, to to View, then pull down to Toolbars. All Word's available toolbars will then expand for you to see.
In the illustration above on this page, you see the word "Times New Roman" displayed in the font window on the Formatting tool bar. If you don't know what everything is on your Word screen, just hold your cursor over any area. A pop-up screen tip will appear telling you what you are examining. Just to the left of the font window, there is another window. In this example, the word "Normal" is showing in the first opening on the Formatting toolbar. This is your "Style" window, or Style Shortcut Bar. If you put your cursor over it, the word "style" will appear. If you put your cursor in the Style window and click on the caret (triangle) pointing down, a menu will expand downward showing choices such as "Heading 1," "Heading 2," and "Normal."
Do you know where this window is now? If not, let me know. I guess the choices that Word's programmers came up with for the physical presentation of headings are okay, but they're not very striking, and why would you want to let Bill Gates make decisions about how your documents look anyway? If your mothers don't dress you anymore, why should someone else decide how we "clothe" our documents? For your Interview Report Assignment, you can use the default setting that MS Word has established for presenting headings, but later in the semester, I will want you to always may your presentation decisions for yourselves. That means that later we will learn how to modify Style. Even when we do use Word's default heading settings in this first assignment, you can still be making conscious decisions about where you want your text to fall on the page and how much space should be left before headings, after headings, and between sections of your Interview Report.
When you have decided where your text will fall on the page, what internal headings you are going to use, and how you are going to deliberately use white space to organize your information, then you've determined the physical arrangement (Visual Rhetoric) of your document. Remember, you need MS Word to follow my directions. If you have to get to one of the labs on either campus to get to Word, then allow yourselves this time. To me competitive in today's work world, you have to learn to use your word processor as a word processor, not as a typewriter, and the most ubiquitous word processing package around is MS Word.
Now, follow the following "Using Style" link to learn more about using headings and using Style to present your headings in this assignment:

Written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise awareness and money to combat the 1984-1985 Ethiopian famine, Band Aid's "Do They Know Its Christmas?" was a joint single by a myriad of popular '80s musicians, including David Bowie, Sting, Bono and Adam Clayton of U2, and Phil Collins of Genesis. The song became the best-selling single ever in the United Kingdom until 1997, earning $13.6 million worldwide, every penny of which was donated towards the cause.
Driven by the success of the single, Geldof and Ure organized the 1985 Live Aid concert to keep the famine in the public spotlight. To this day, Live Aid is remembered as 'the day rock and roll changed the world,' earning £30 million for famine relief in Africa.
The money brought early-warning systems that prevented an Ethiopian famine in 2003 from spinning into '80s-magnitude devastation, said Ure, the song co-author and co-organizer of the Live Aid concert, in an interview with Music OMH. "People are alive today who wouldn't have been alive had people not stuck their hands in their pockets and bought that record," she told the magazine. Enough money was raised from the "Christmas" single to send "seven emergency flights and three ships to Africa" containing a wealth of humanitarian aid, such as "one hundred and forty tons of high energy biscuits, one thousand two hundred and forty tons of dried skim milk powder, twenty five tons of full cream milk powder" and more, writes Trócaire, the official overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Ireland.
The song pleads with the listener to remember that "there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time/The greatest gift they'll get this year is life /Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow/Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" After establishing the plight of the Ethiopian people, the ending asks listeners to be generous with their good fortune and remember those less fortunate: "Feed the world/Let them know it's Christmas time/and Feed the world."
Today, Ethiopia is green again: "In 1984 the land was parched brown and covered in tents," writes Peter Gill, one of the first journalists to arrive to the center of the 1984 Ethiopian famine, in his 2012 book "Famine and Foreigners: Ethiopia Since Live Aid." "Today the site of the camp had a flush of green to it, even four months into the dry season."

There were many times when there's plenty of leftover rice in the fridge, untouched for 2 or 3 days. The most common way to get rid of the rice is to make fried rice. Another way is to make coconut rice, which will complement curried dishes very well. This recipe is quick and easy and perfect if you don't feel like cooking a whole pot of rice.
- Yield
- 1 people
- 1 1/2 cup cooked rice, 2-3 days old
- 1/2 cup thick coconut milk
- 1/2 water
- 10 slices of ginger
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil
- Stir fry ginger with a tablespoon of olive oil in a small pot until fragrant. Add a pinch of salt, coconut milk and water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Cover the pot. Turn down the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure you have just enough liquid to wet the rice. Add the rice to the pot. At this time, the rice will wet but not watery. Turn the heat to medium and stir the rice for 5 minutes, until the liquid dries off a little. The rice will be fluffy and moist but not overly dry when it's done.

Embarking from the pastDecember 07,2013
Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga, Roman Catholic cardinal of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, said this in a speech at Dallas University in Texas: The globalization of the exchange of services, capital and patents has led, over the past 10 years, to the establishment of a world dictatorship of finance capital. The transcontinental oligarchies that hold the financial capital dominate the planet. The lords of financial capital wield over billions of human beings the power of life and death. Through their investment strategies, their stock market speculations, their alliances, they decide day to day who has the right to live on this planet and who is doomed to die. The effects and consequences of the neo-liberal dictatorships that rule democracies are not hard to uncover. They invade us with the industry of entertainment. They make us forget about human rights. They convince us that nothing can be done, that there is no possible alternative. To change the system it would be necessary to destroy the power of the new feudal lords.
What is doubly significant about Cardinal Maradiagas radical analysis of rapacious capitalism is his close relationship with Pope Francis. He is the popes right-hand man and one of his closest friends. Does this mean the Catholic Church is embarking on the long slog out of the Dark Ages?

Feh. He's never had a girlfriend.
He's just going to use silver, when he could use purple zebra print? Or Hello Kitty? Or even Spongebob?
Ooh … Glow in the dark! I could have used that on my Halloween costume last year.
What he's envisioning is not a tuxedo, it's tails. A tux jacket pretty much resembles a normal suit jacket.
Hmmm…wonder if this is what my son's up to; cleaning out his backpack I found a whole huge roll of duct tape…among other things.
Every boy should have duct tape in his backpack.
I went to a 3yr old's birthday part last week.
Got him bungey cords, a real C-clamp (wasn't even painted red) & some magnets from the hardware store.
Everyone looked at me like I was weird.
When I explained my reasoning, I turned to a 10 year old (boy!) and said, "wouldn't you like 100 ft of rope for your birthday?" His eyes lit up.
This week the 3yr old's mom says the C-clamp is his favorite present.
Nice top hat Mr. Savag… oops, Master Bucket.
Spot on! :-D
Or is it Toby?
I agree, Toby!
LOL xxx
They actually have a scholarship for people making prom clothes out of unusual objects.
I'm a counselor at a kids' camp every summer, and during Superheroes Week one year, one counselor dressed up as Duct Tape Man.
Ever since then, people often say "Sounds like a job for … Duct Tape Man!" Makes me laugh to this day.
