Here are some early visual development researches when I joined the project. They had already started a year before my arrival and they needed to fill the Art Director's position because Serge moved to Child of Light. At the time it was supposed to be a family game and a sequel to the Your Shape franchise with a new type of gameplay based on the motto "gamify fitness". The game was a surprisingly fun and efficient workout but on the art side it was a mess for many reasons: 3 people-only art team with the unfair pressure to create exciting graphics for a "next-gen" game, an unrealistic scope for such a small team, a fuzzy target, a broken engine, too many chiefs with too many different visions which means... too many compromises and in the end a totally flavorless product!

(AP) Sure, gas prices have come down lately. But to 34.9 cents a gallon?
That's what Kelly Joosten and dozens of other motorists paid at a Citgo station Monday. The sign advertised $3.43 for a gallon of premium fuel, but the pump cost read $0.349 a gallon.
"That was amazing," said Joosten, who normally spends about $100 to fill up her 1998 Ford Expedition.
Joosten proudly showed off her receipt for 25.36 gallons at $8.85. She said she saw other motorists filling gas cans, too, at the discounted price.
Station owner JP Raval says the attendant on duty couldn't figure out why the station was suddenly so busy.
Raval estimated 30 to 40 customers fueled up at the incorrect price _ between 200 and 300 gallons worth _ for about 90 minutes.
"People kept coming, so fast," Raval said. "Everything was crowded; it was like a fairground."

Three to 8 inches of snow could hit Thursday
Three to 5 inches of snow is possible Thursday in southeast Wisconsin, with up to 8 inches possible in some areas, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters said, however, that the heaviest snow could fall north or south of Milwaukee. A winter storm watch will be in effect most of the day.
"It's realistic, locally, that we could see some locations with up to 8 inches" by the time the snow system completely leaves the area, said weather service meteorologist Ed Townsend. Townsend said the heaviest snowfall is expected from noon to 6 p.m.
Snow could fall in the area through Friday morning, according to the storm watch.
WTMJ's forecast calls for a high temperature of 36 degrees Thursday and a low temperature of 28 with winds up to 10.
Brian Gotter, a meteorologist at WTMJ (Channel 4), said warmer temperatures could mean more rain and lower snow totals - as little as 1-2 inches north of Milwaukee and 2-3 inches to the south.
So far this winter, 18 inches of snow has fallen. In a more typical winter, 28 inches would fall by the end of January and 37.8 would have fallen by the end of February, according to weather service records.

Live review: Wilco at Copley Symphony Hall
I loathe sounding like a skipping record, so I'll try my best to dispense with the usual Wilco = Greatest Band Alive blather that tends to gush out whenever I've just seen them. Just know: That's no mean feat when it's been 2½ years since their last Southern California appearances, notably at the Fox and the Wiltern.
Why do they do that? Why stay away for so long when so many other regions (not just Jeff Tweedy's beloved Chicago) benefit from leg after leg of touring? Surely it isn't just to hype anticipation – Wilco sells out everywhere they go, repeatedly and frequently. If they announced a string of Southwest dates in summer or fall immediately after their four shows this week, that next batch of tickets would disappear fast, too.
How do they do that? Smartly. Not counting very occasional Greek gigs, they typically don't come to town aiming for packed houses at such large places. Instead, they tend to spread out runs across a handful of 2,000-capacity venues, like the ones they play through Friday, when Wilco becomes one of few rock bands to test the volume limits of the downtown Los Angeles Theatre.
The sextet arrived Sunday night, the third gig after returning from winter break, for a Cali kickoff at Copley Symphony Hall, San Diego's Wiltern, and they were in cut-above form for two often blissful hours that were over much too soon. Copley has a strict cutoff at 11 p.m., so while recent shows have offered 18 or 19 songs in the main set, plus as many as eight or nine more in the encore, this performance served up 20 in the main, but only three quickies in the coda: the title track from their widely acclaimed new album The Whole Love, a gloriously happy "Heavy Metal Drummer" and a rapid, almost ramshackle rip through "Outtasite (Outta Mind)."
Tonight Tweedy appears in conversation with comedian Jeff Garlin at Largo, presumably with a bit of performance attached. Tuesday night Wilco headlines the Hollywood Palladium for the first time in their nearly 20-year history. Wednesday they return to the Wiltern. Then comes that rare L.A. Theatre show, followed by a Feb. 10 encore at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara – the timing of which has me wondering if we might finally see Wilco perform at the Grammys, on Feb. 12. (At least they've got time off to go, it would seem.)
Assuming we can find a way in, our Soundcheck staff hopes to cover all of them. Overkill? Hardly. As when Bruce Springsteen and the Dead or Phish and Radiohead come to town, fans of every generation from far and wide clamor to get into as many shows as possible. We know at least half the setlist will change from night to night – and that the percentage of difference will be even higher when gigs are in the same city.
There are some constants: For starters, most sets favor material from A Ghost Is Born (their 2004 Grammy winner) and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (their storied breakthrough a decade ago). The winsome "Hummingbird" and an ever-surging "Shot in the Arm" have been ending the main segments, though there's no telling which piece will come first, or if "Hummingbird" will even flitter its way in after all.
So far it seems like you get either "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" or "Misunderstood," the latter of which was remarkably fleeter Sunday without sacrificing the slightest bit of passion, including 28 rounds of "nothing!" at its emotional apex. But you probably won't get both songs in the same set.
Expect several from The Whole Love, of course. They seem particularly fond of the R.E.M.-ish fun of "I Might" (they tone down the fuzz on stage) as well as the realistic romantic cheer of "Dawned on Me" and the unsettled Nick Drake calm of "Rising Red Lung." Many times they'll also segue from the cataclysmic finish of "Born Alone" into the slightly demented jauntiness of "Capitol City" – though not in San Diego.
Others you can bet big on hearing, no matter which show you catch:
- "California Stars," their most heartwarming number, from that first Woody Guthrie/Billy Bragg collaboration in 1998, often revived when they're in town;
- The krautrock jam "Bull Black Nova," token choice from 2009's Wilco (The Album), pulsating yet relaxed on Sunday, cresting like frothy waves;
- The sweet soul of "Jesus, Etc.," one of their finest creations, dappled in dreamy organ at Copley by banker-attired Mikael Jorgensen;
- If you're lucky, you'll get "Handshake Drugs," capped by a perfectly executed white-noise fade-out;
- And the straight-up country of "Box Full of Letters" from 1995's A.M., presumably so they can claim to have played something off every album. (Sky Blue Sky, meanwhile, has been getting short shrift lately.)
Then there's "Impossible Germany," which has almost become Wilco's "Dark Star," only shorter and you actually get to hear it most every time you see 'em.
It often chimes in somewhere in the thick of the set, employed as another showcase for guitarist Nels Cline, a rivetingly expressive virtuoso among post-punk players, and a good chunk of the reason why Wilco has become so mighty since the tour behind 2004's A Ghost Is Born. (Multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone also joined back then, while keyboardist Jorgensen had been around since Yankee. Glenn Kotche started applying his distinctive percussive feel after 1999's Summerteeth. Bassist John Stirratt has been at Tweedy's side since this post-Uncle Tupelo enterprise began.)
But here's the thing about Cline, who's incidentally a dozen years older than the rest of the group: He may get his most extended spotlight amid all the spiraling riffage of "Germany" but he's a showstopper throughout the entire performance. His eruptive work when "Muzzle of Bees" came crashing in on Sunday, for one, was brilliantly tempered to match the black-and-white fireworks popping off in vague visuals overhead. Cline is remarkably adept, able to freak out alongside the wildest avant-garde yet never forget the soul-enriching joy that comes from simply sustaining a soaring note. He operates at a higher level than most rock musicians, as does Wilco in full, each member contributing uniquely and harmoniously to the total stew, the bigger picture … the whole love.
There's one other portion of their sets lately that may stay the same throughout this run: the opening, which I found magnetizing but some fans may deem too slow for a starter. Churning at times imperceptibly, more hypnotic than dramatic, the mood builds from the 12-minute contemplation "One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)" to the droning experimental groove of "Art of Almost," often with a buffer in between (this time: "Poor Places").
Without pause they heaved and weaved through all three pieces – 25 minutes of atmospheric shading, finely wrought lyrics and mounting pressure, the pace ebbing and flowing from phrase to shifting phrase. The audience didn't know whether to sit or stand.
But they certainly could tell they'd seen -- and felt -- something rare. "I've been seeing these guys since the beginning, dozens of times," the fan in front of me mentioned on the way out of Copley. "I always think it can't get any better than the last time. And then they come with that opening half-hour or so … just mind-blowing."
Setlist: Wilco at Copley Symphony Hall, San Diego, Jan. 22, 2012
Main set: One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley's Boyfriend) > Poor Places > Art of Almost / I Might / Muzzle of Bees / Misunderstood / Bull Black Nova / At Least That's What You Said / Rising Red Lung / Impossible Germany / Open Mind / California Stars / Handshake Drugs / Box Full of Letters / Born Alone / Jesus, Etc. / Pot Kettle Black / Dawned on Me / Hummingbird / A Shot in the Arm
Encore: Whole Love / Heavy Metal Drummer / Outtasite (Outta Mind)

Bargaining in International Trade under Exchange-Rate Uncertainty
This paper examines the implications of various contracting alternatives between exporting and importing firms on the volume of international transactions. The contracts that we study are determined in a bargaining situation under exchange-rate uncertainty. First we look at contracts which entail an ex ante commitment on price and quantity of exports without the possibility of renegotiation ex post. Second, spot contracts, i.e., the price and the quantity of exports are negotiated after the exchange the rate is known. A third type of contracts consists of ex ante commitment and ex post renegotiation. Copyright 1995 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

Referring to the theme of the meeting, the Holy Father affirmed in his Message: "Over the course of the centuries, Christianity was communicated and spread thanks to the novelty of the lives of individuals and communities who were capable of providing an incisive witness of love, unity and happiness. This was the force that 'mobilized' so many people over the generations. ... Today also, Christ continues to make so many people's hearts ring with that decisive 'come and follow Me,' which can decide their destiny."
Pope Benedict recalled, in his message, the first World Meeting of Ecclesial Movements and New Communities, which he took part in as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1998. The Holy Father echoed Pope John Paul II's words on that occasion that the new movements and communities are, "'a sign of hope' for the good of the Church and mankind."
The Holy Father called on the ecclesial movements "always to be schools of communion. ... Carry the light of Christ into all the social and cultural environments in which you live. ... Illuminate the darkness of a world confused by the contradictory messages of ideologies. ... How much evil in the lives of men and nations can be produced by thirst for power, possession and pleasure! Bring to this troubled world the witness of the freedom with which Christ set us free."
"Where charity is expressed as a passion for the life and destiny of others, radiating into the affections ... and becoming a force for creating a more just social order, there we build a civilization capable of facing up to the advance of barbarism. Be builders of a better world, according to the 'ordo amoris' in which the beauty of human life is expressed."
The Pope highlighted how ecclesial movements and new communities form part of "the living structure of the Church. She thanks you," the Holy Father said, "for your missionary commitment, for your increasing formative efforts among Christian families, and for the promotion of vocations to the priestly ministry and to consecrated life."
The Church also thanks you, the Holy Father's Message concluded: "for the willingness you show in welcoming the operational guidelines, not only of Peter's Successor, but also of bishops in the various local Churches who, together with the Pope, are the custodians of truth and charity in unity. I trust in your ready obedience. ... The movements must face all problems with sentiments of profound communion, in a spirit of adherence to legitimate pastors."

Talks have still to begin on a new contract for the Bradford City manager, Phil Parkinson.
Parkinson leads the rejuvenated League Two side into the first leg of the semi-final of the Capital One Cup against Aston Villa tonight with his future yet to be secured.
The former Charlton and Hull manager has transformed Bradford in the 18 months since he took over at Valley Parade. Back in 2011, the Bantams, after a disastrous decade, were staring at possible relegation out of the Football League.
Since then the revival has been dramatic. They knocked Arsenal out of the Capital One Cup at the quarter-final stage last month on a thrilling night that saw Valley Parade's biggest crowd since the 1950s. And they currently sit in eighth place in League Two, outside a play-off position on goal difference alone.
Parkinson has been credited with the turnaround, and has breathed life into a club that has battled administration and financial problems since dropping out of the Premier League in 2001.
However, with the clock ticking down on the two-year contract he signed when he took over in August 2011, negotiations have yet to commence on that deal being extended, and improved.
Parkinson is one of the lowest paid managers in the division and will rightfully feel he deserves the change in Bradford's fortunes to be mirrored by a contract. His reputation has risen in the last two years, and his situation has alerted other clubs in the lower leagues.
The 45-year-old wants to stay and feels he can build on what Bradford have already achieved – they also knocked Premier League Wigan out of the Capital One Cup on their way to the semi-final.
Bradford are expecting another 25,000 sell-out for tonight's first leg semi-final with Villa, who will take 4,500 fans to Valley Parade. City's change in fortunes saw them post a profit of £200,000 for the last released set of accounts and the financial windfall from the quarter-final with Arsenal and the semi-final with Aston Villa will similarly boost their balance sheet.
If Bradford win the two-legged tie then they would reach a major domestic final for the first time since they lifted the FA Cup in 1911.
Carl McHugh and winger Kyel Reid are hoping to return to the Bradford squad tonight after being troubled by injury.

The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) is an entirely voluntary organisation keeping a visual watch along UK shores.
Each station assists in the protection and preservation of life at sea and around the UK coastline.
Currently 50 NCI stations are operational and manned by over 2000 volunteers keeping watch around the British Isles from Rossall Point in the North West, through Wales, to Wearside in the North East.
Whilst high technology and sophisticated systems are aids to improved safety, a computer cannot spot a distress flare, an overturned boat or a yachtsman or fisherman in trouble. Other vulnerable activities like diving, wind surfing and canoeing are made safer with visual surveillance.
NCI watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies, offering a variety of skills and experience and full training by the NCI ensures that high standards are met.
Over 240,000 hours of organised coastal surveillance were completed in 2015 alone, all at no cost to the public. Funding is managed by a Board of Trustees with a constitution agreed by the Charity Commission and relies heavily on local support.
For further statistics, and details of incidents reported by NCI, please click here.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. Conference of Mayors President Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter today issued the following statement on the Senate's budget agreement:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110125/MM36443LOGO )
"On behalf of the mayors in cities all across the country, I am pleased that the Senate has finally been able to reach an agreement to pull our country from the brink of the fiscal cliff. One of the most basic responsibilities of the members of Congress is to find a fair and balanced approach to the budget process to protect the people who elect them to office -- most of whom are middle class. And in the face of tax hikes on middle-income Americans, the Senate has made progress. We now call on the House to act.
"While the Senate was able to reach an initial agreement and we wait on the House to make the right choice for the American people and follow suit with a deal, I implore Congress to stop kicking the can down the road and to do what is right for hard-working citizens who rely on domestic programs that are now slated for deep, automatic cuts. These are the people that keep our national economy moving forward, and we owe them nothing less than to ensure their ability to thrive."
The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are 1,295 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor.

Azucena Narvaez Campos is one of our cherished nurses at Clinica Verde. She's 22 years old, single, and lives in the community of Boaco with her parents. She is the youngest of 4 siblings. Azucena humbles us with her dedication to her work and kindness to all who enter Clinica Verde's doors. It's a pleasure to introduce her to you.
How do you approach your work? What motivates you?
For me it's a miracle from God that I'm working in this beautiful clinic since many people came looking for work and they chose me. I'm grateful to God and to all of you for giving me the opportunity to work for a good cause. I'm motivated by the smile of a patient after seeing a change in her health, and to see patients return with their families – to see that they have such a good opinion of Clinica Verde.
What's the difference between Clinica Verde and other clinics?
The big difference in Clinica Verde is the human warmth, the sensitivity, and the quality of attention we offer to the needy and neglected.
Do you have a story about your work that represents what makes Clinica Verde special to you?
One story among many was when we organized a team to bring clothes and food for patients who touched our hearts. They were so happy to see the human side of the Clinica Verde team!
Another story that moved me was when an 83-year-old widow whose children had died was begging in the street. She came to the clinic very tired, with her clothes torn. As she entered the clinic she fell down, and everyone came running to help her up and get her on a gurney. Dr. Varela took care of her and she told us her story crying, and said that every time she fell down in the past, nobody ever picked her up – but here everyone came to her help. This is Clinica Verde. We aid those who are helpless and alone.
What are your goals for the future?
My goals for the future are to continue working at Clinica Verde and to get better at my work, to finish my university studies, to be a quality professional without forgetting my roots and never forgetting that thanks to Clinica Verde I am in university, I am a better daughter, and a better person. One day I would also like to have my own family.
Is there anything you'd like to say to Clinica Verde's friends and supporters?
I would like to thank everyone who supports Clinica Verde for noticing one of the poorest countries in Latin America. You are angels to the people of Boaco and many places beyond. Thank you for helping those in need, for the time you give this beautiful cause without expecting anything in return. I hope that God blesses you and increases the good health for you and your families. Thank you for giving me this work. I will never take advantage of it, and I promise to take care of the beautiful dream that became a reality.

Swix has been making ski wax and accessories since 1946.
Hardwax (otherwise known as Kick Wax) is intended for Nordic Skis. The color coding of waxes with Red for warm, Green for cold and Blue for "normal" winter conditions was invented by Swix and set the industry standard that is still used today.
We carry the following colour coded hardwax
V05 Polar Hardwax -12/-25C
As the name indicates, this is hardwax made for the coldest conditions. Frequently used in the polar regions of Europe and North America.
V20 Green Hardwax-8/-15C
The well known cold snow wax, used for more than fifty years, has been modernized several times with new components.
V30 Blue Hardwax -2/-10C
Another truly classic Swix wax. To be used on moderate cold snow when skiing is at its best.
V45 Violet Spec. Hardwax 0/-3C
A very frequently used wax, both in racing and touring. When Blue Extra becomes somewhat slippery, a thin layer of Violet Special probably is the right wax.
V55 Red Special Hardwax 0/+1C
For moist new snow up to +1°C (34°F) and down to -2°C (28°F) in older more transformed granular snow.
V60 Red/Silver Hardwax 0/+3C
For wet new snow up +3°C (38°F) and down to -1°C (30°F) in older more transformed granular snow. Apply thicker the warmer it is to secure grip.

Ribbon Flowers
~~~Ribbon Flower Supply List~~~
Ribbon 1 - 1.5 inch ribbon works best. Gross grain, satin, silk, polyester, organza.
(note: if you buy wired ribbon, you could pull out the wire with a pair of needle nose pliers. Cut you ribbon first, then remove the wires.)
Needle and thread. Heavy duty thread works best
buttons, brads, small flowers, pearls, seed beads.
***Step 1***
Cut (5) 3 - 3.5 inch lengths of ribbon. The wider ribbon looks best cut in 3.5 inch lengths and the narrower ribbon looks best cut in 3 inch lengths.
***Step 2***
Find the middle point of your ribbon by folding the ribbon in half meeting the cut ends together. Crease the fold, open the ribbon and fold length wise as shown wrong sides together. With your needle and thread. Sew a few tiny whip stitches where you marked the crease to hold the fold together. Knot the thread and snip close to knot. Repeat until all 5 are done.
***Step 3***
The fold is not shown, but take your ribbon piece and with wrong sides together, fold over in half until your cut ends meet evenly. You should see your petal shape as in the photo. Finger crease the top. With your needle and thread, sew a running stitch along the cut ends, stitch together all the way across as shown. Pulling the thread through.
***Step 4***
Repeat step 3 until all 5 petals are strung side by side on your knotted thread.
Carefully pull and gather your petals on the thread. When you are satisfied with the arrangement attach the first petal to the last petal and whip stitch them together and knot it.
You are now ready to attach any middle you want. You could even make tiny ribbon flowers and layer them for the middle. Here are some different flowers I created. Have fun with ribbon...And how beautiful would a layout be if you wove your ribbon across your page and end it with a ribbon flower. Now I am off to create that Layout!!

Jonathan Richman is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. In 1970 he founded The Modern Lovers, an influential proto-punk band, but since the mid-1970s has worked either solo or with low-key, generally acoustic backing. He is known for his wide-eyed, unaffected lyrical outlook, and music that, while rooted in rock and roll, often draws on influences from around the world.
More on Wikipedia…
(10 quotes found)
"If there was no Velvet Underground there would have been no such record. Does that tell you what you need to know?"
Jonathan Richman
"We rehearsed in the same place as Curt, so we saw him all the time and everything, but he wasn't in the band. It started out with just John Felice and me. I wrote to John from Israel saying I wanted to start a band when I got back home."
"We slept in Central Park, which is no mean feat- we got there and it was almost dawn when we went to sleep."
"They played Boston. They played at the Boston Tea Party and through an amazing chain of events I got to hang out with them backstage even though I was underage."
"If it was a five year-old asking me to do "Road Runner" I would have done it easy. But the same people who asked for "Road Runner" asked for "Pablo Picasso", they all had these sort of arty voices."
"when there's things to do not because you gotta."
"I visited Lou Reed in New York a few times before I went away. I visited them a few times when I was still living at home- took the train down. I hung out with the Velvet Underground a bit, slept on their manager's couch but it was Steve Selznick not Danny Fields."
"Sometimes it works. Sometimes I feel like playing "Hospital". Sometimes I feel like playing "Pablo Picasso". I've been playing a lot lately. I do it as long as I feel like it."
"Well, you know it was so different from when you rehearsed. You're out there with your guitar and trying to get a sound, but it doesn't sound anything like what you expect!"
"I don't do any songs that I'm sick of now - sometimes even songs that I request. If I'm sick of 'em I don't do 'em even for myself."

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Overall, these aren't bad. They are stretchy and easy to wear... if you are the right size. The large and extra large sizes made me think that they would be much bigger than they are. The Larger of the two works out alright for my partner, but I was hoping that they were going to be bigger. Also, the packaging has these marked as silicone, but they aren't. They are TPR silicone which is not as safe.Published:
Doesn't pull hair

Can't believe they'd misrepresent a product like this! Thanks for the thorough review, awesome work!
I am so skeptical of labels claiming something is silicone, unless I know the manufacturer's reputation such as with VixSkin & Tantus. I also think their estimation of large & extra large is a bit off, as well. Thanks for such an informative review!
No discussions yet.
Thank you for viewing Silicone rings set – ring set review page!

the summer of
it was the summer ezra learned to ride his bike. the summer of the daisy, the strawberry, the raspberry. the popsicle, the sno-cone, the cherry-dipped ice cream cone. the summer of epic train trips and legendary downtown fountains. of heated games of croquet and kickball, of leaps over lawn sprinklers and lightning bugs in glass jars. it was the summer of the broken hammock, the broken hearted, the almost yard sale. of day camp and sleep away camp, of endless sleepovers and BFFs. the summer of turquoise nail polish, neon anything and mustaches on everything. the summer ava and I took our first big trip together, the summer we walked across the golden gate bridge. the summer of eight, the summer of twelve. the last summer I spent with my mom, the summer of goodbye.
it was the summer of love.

When I went to this show, my goal was to get some wanted cards for my birthday and goalie mask binders. That mission failed with spectacular non-results, save for a few hits for the former. It was actually a bit busier than my previous times there, and there were a couple of unexpected 5000 ct baseball dime boxes. That's a rarity for shows in Ontario, so I dug right in.
If 'dire' were a condition, this card would most certainly qualify for that grade. But, I'd much rather have a 1974 Willie Stargell in this condition that to not have one. Plus, I can add it to my misc. binder and upgrade should I so desire.
And doesn't he look happy to be off to the Royals?
That's all the baseball for now. I'm gonna cycle through all the other hockey cards I picked up that day.
A quartet of heritage/Vintage Daniel Alfredssons for my Alfie collection. My fave of the bunch is 1966 look.
Another not-exactly-mint card, this time a guy who might be better known for his time behind the scenes with Buffalo as opposed to his time on the ice.
One for the oddball uniforms binder.
I bet this guy hated the disco era. "No. I'm not with Bee Gees. I spell it with an 'S'. Here, look at my license.". Even googling this guy's name, spelled correctly, brings up a mix of stuff for him, and stuff for Barry Gibb. At least his wiki entry now comes first. For now.
But this my favourite. The Hammer! The man who holds the record for PIM in a single season. 472 minutes worth of chaos! A Broad Street Bully! Guest referee at Slamboree 1994! Retro parallel! For a dime! YES!

Aren't algae eaters Plecos?
Plecos I have seen look like algae eaters to me. I even looked up on wikipedia.org to make sure. And the plecos still look like algae eaters to me. Is there a difference? Here is the link for wikipedia on

0They look like an algae eater to me. They even state that they eat the algae. They even state they eat other things also. And I gues there are several types of species of the common pleco.
0Plecos do eat algae but are not the fish that is named algae eater. The name algea eaters actually refers to the species Gyrinocheilus aymonieri. You can read about by Gyrinocheilus aymonieri by visitng the link below :
Gyrinocheilus aymonieri
I am however sure that many people call their plecos algae eaters even if this isn't entirely correct.

0William. Many sp. of plecos survive solely on algae or rather the micro-organisms found within. Other sp. rely on algae for part of their diet & some, eg Panaque sp. rely nearly entirely on wood for their diet & should be steered away from protein rich (meaty) foods as it will shorten their lifespan.
0very true. I might have narrowed it down a bit to much when I tried to state that that the Hypostomus plecostomus wasn't the fish commonly called algea eaters (often chinese algea eaters) and made it span more species than I meant it to.
You should as rev states always research the needs of your type of pleco and their dietery needs.

optional | default is 10 libraries |
format | format of the response returned. |
optional | json |
callback | JSON-P callback. Only used with JSON-P response format *Please do not embed your WSKey in client side javascripts* |
optional | |
frbrGrouping | whether or not to use FRBR grouping. The default option includes the library locations associated with any similar edition of the item requested.

Lookup catalog url for the ISBN 0026071800 where the OCLC Symbol is OSU:
No Holdings
If none of the listed OCLC symbols are represented as holding the requested item the web service will return a"no holdings found" diagnostic.
Known Issues
Queries for Merged OCLC Numbers result in no holdings
When an OCLC number has been merged under another record, the merged OCLC number is in the 019 field of that bibliographic record. Using the merged OCLC number in a query correctly pulls the record which includes the 019 field for all SRU queries and Single Bibliographic record queries. However, for Library Catalog Resource requests, the merged OCLC number only works correctly if frbrGrouping is set to "on" or on by default. When the frbrGrouping parameter is set to "off" the merged OCLC number request incorrectly results in indicating there are no holdings.

If he were not such a committed and down-to-earth sportsman, you could imagine that fame might have started to turn Andy Murray's head by the time he set out on Monday night for a celebratory evening meal with his entourage at Nobu in London's West End.
Having completed a large round of media interviews, the new Wimbledon champion had spent the afternoon taking tea in Downing Street with David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband. Earlier in the day the Prime Minister, when talking about Murray's suitability for a knighthood, said: "I can't think of anyone who deserves one more."
Murray, nevertheless, has never shown any inclination to be distracted by fame or fortune. He is now planning a short holiday, after which he will be back on the court preparing for his next tournament, the Montreal Masters, which begins in four weeks' time.
He will start his training for the north American hard-court season – and the defence of his US Open title – in his second home of Miami, where his coach, Ivan Lendl, can be relied on to ensure that his charge has not gone soft.
"I don't know exactly how I am going to respond when I get back on the practice court, but the people around you can help a lot with that," Murray said on Monday during a return visit to the scene of his triumph the previous day. The Scot looked in surprisingly good shape given that he had had just one hour's sleep following a late night out at the Wimbledon Champions' Dinner and an early morning start.
"I know in Ivan's head that he is not content with how the last 18 months have gone. He will think I could have won the Australian Open this year and to get me ready for the US Open he will train me really hard over in Miami," Murray said.
"I think that is huge having somebody like that in your corner. He was the ultimate competitor as a player and he loved winning. His consistency was amazing. He made eight consecutive US Open finals and there was no let-down for him. I hope having him in my corner will help out a lot."
Murray added: "I hope I don't lose hunger. I think I should be able to use this as motivation. I know what it's like to lose in a Wimbledon final and I know what it is like winning one. It's a lot better winning, so the hard work is worth it.
"I've just got to make sure I don't get side-tracked by anything and that after the next few days – enjoying and celebrating — I'll go away, rest up and get ready for the US Open. I've never had to defend a Grand Slam before. That will be a new experience for me and I'll look forward to that."
While Murray said that Lendl had made "a huge difference", he also paid tribute to the rest of his entourage, who had "been fantastic over the years".
Asked about the support of his girlfriend, Kim Sears, Murray said: "The one thing that really helped with her is that she understands the sport because she's been around it from a young age. She was used to her Dad travelling on the tour from when she was a kid. She knew what it was like to have that distant relationship. That's obviously helped a lot. It's been coming up to eight years, bar a few months in the middle, that we've been together. A long time."
The Scot said he did not expect to be distracted from his tennis in the future. "I'm not addicted to going out or drinking or smoking," he said. "I don't do any of that sort of stuff. I enjoy being around my friends. I enjoy training. I enjoy being over in Miami.
"I don't think I will get side-tracked, but you never know. You see it a lot in other sports because with fame there comes a lot of distractions, but it comes down to the people you surround yourself with. If you surround yourself with the right people you won't get yourself in those situations. And people who are honest with you will tell you if you are acting out of line, or not working properly or you're doing the wrong things. And I believe I have the right people to stop me doing anything like that, so I don't see it happening."
Murray said it had been difficult to escape from the pressures of the last fortnight. Although he expected that would ease in the future given that he had finally ended Britain's 77-year wait for a Wimbledon male singles champion, he said his determination to win would be as strong as ever.
"I would hope it doesn't change my expectations too much," he said. "When I go to the US Open I will still want to win it."
Among the many messages of congratulations that Murray received was one from Sir Alex Ferguson, who watched his fellow Scot win the US Open last summer and met him after watching one of his matches here last week. Having initially declined to reveal what they had talked about (other than to say the former Manchester United manager's words were like "gold dust"), Murray revealed more details about their conversation.
"He said to me that one of the things he built his teams on was consistency and concentration," Murray said. "If you can concentrate throughout an entire match you'll gain that consistency. That was something I tried to do throughout the tournament. It is something I try to do, but it emphasises the point a bit more when someone like him says it to you."

2 tablespoons EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and pepper
3/4 pound fresh sweet Italian sausage, optional
1 large bulb fresh fennel, quartered and cored then thinly sliced (reserve a few fronds for garnish)
1 onion, quartered lengthwise then thinly sliced
A few sprigs each thyme and rosemary, tied together with kitchen twine
2 fresh bay leaves
2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup ditalini or other short-cut pasta with lines
1 24-28 ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed well and drained
1 small head or bundle escarole or chard, stemmed and shredded
Grated cheese, Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano, for passing at table, optional
Heat oven to 425F.
Cut the end off the head of garlic and drizzle with EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Wrap it in foil and roast to soft, 40-45 minutes. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
Heat EVOO in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage, if using, and brown and crumble into small bits. Remove and drain, leaving a tablespoon and a half or so of drippings to cook in. Add fennel and onions to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes to soften, then add mashed garlic, herbs and stock. Bring to a boil -- add 1-2 cups water if you like a thin, brothy soup.
When soup comes to a boil, add pasta and cook 2-3 minutes then add white beans and reserved sausage. Continue to cook pasta to al dente, 4-5 minutes more. Turn off heat and wilt in greens, if using.
Serve in shallow bowls then top fennel fronds and cheese, if using.

Key Features: Oversized hubs with flanges for blade hammer-head spokes and sealed high-quality bearings ensure smoothness. The rear wheel incorporates a new single-piece body which embodies the freewheel body and pawl carrier in a single component resulting in a considerable weight reduction. Fulcrum 2:1 spoke ratio on rear wheeldouble the number of spokes on the drive side for greater wheel stability and improved power transfer in the rear wheel. 20 radial aero spokes on front wheel24 on rear. The wheels have two oversized spokes to balance the concentration of the rim joint material during wheel rotation Fulcrum call this Dynamic Balance. The Racing 5s also have a deep upper bridge on the rim to facilitate clincher tyre fitting. Weights: Front 753g Rear 892g. Racing 5 wheels are compatible with Campagnolo® Shimano and Sram drivetrains. Please choose the correct freehub option from the drop down menu.

The Phillies and left-handed reliever Antonio Bastardo agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million deal to avoid arbitration, assistant GM Scott Proefrock announced Friday.
With Bastardo signed, the Phillies have no more arbitration-eligible players. The team had three, but avoided arbitration with infielder Kevin Frandsen, signing him for $850,000 in early November, and non-tendered Nate Schierholtz, who has since signed with the Cubs.
Bastardo, 27, had a 4.33 ERA in 65 appearances last season, striking out a ridiculous 81 batters in 52 innings. But his 26 walks were too many, and he allowed 6.3 hits per nine innings after allowing just 4.3 the year before.
Bastardo was mostly unhittable in 2011, when he had a 0.79 ERA after 37 appearances and a 0.99 ERA as late as July 19. But an 8.71 ERA over his final 13 regular-season appearances with 20 baserunners in 10 innings was a worrisome sign to end the season.
