Prada's offer of 950p a share was 4 per cent below Wednesday's closing price, but 20 per cent more than the price before Church announced it was in talks with a potential buyer last week. The Italian group has received irrevocable approvals for the deal from 33 per cent of Church shareholders, including the Church family and institutional investors.
John Church, the UK firm's chairman who will remain head the group, said he was "pleased" with the deal, which does not include any planned job losses or significant restructuring.
He said: "The full potential of Church, particularly overseas, will be realised more effectively with the support of a strong luxury goods partner."
Church has 155 outlets across the UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Hong Kong, the US and Canada.
Patrizio Bertelli, Prada's chief executive, said: "Should our offer be successful, it is my firm intention to maintain and possibly strengthen the British identity of Church by preserving and developing its industrial presence in Northampton and by enhancing the role of the management team."
He said the UK group would benefit from his company's marketing and distribution expertise.
The Prada bid comes a week after Italian shoes and bags maker, Diego Della Valle, raised his stake in Church from 6.3 per cent to 8.6 per cent, overtaking Prada's 8.5 per cent share.
Mr Della Valle would not comment yesterday on whether he planned to make a counter-bid.

Baker's Dozen
13 (Tzameti) is one of those movies that can't decide what kind of movie it wants to be. Luckily, every movie it tries to be is a pretty good one. At first it comes off like a creepy mystery. It isn't long before the story descends into the ol' film noir game of cat and mouse that also happens to be a matter of life and death. Then, just when you think your butthole can't possibly constrict any tighter, the film spirals into the depths of full-on horror. Just as Darren Aronofsky did with his gloomy, mind-bending debut, Pi, French filmmaker Géla Babluani creates a palpable level of intensity with colorless cinematography, clever editing and a chilling score. If Alfred Hitchcock and Quentin Tarantino subverted the natural laws of human biology and gave birth to a moviemaking baby who would grow up to direct a taut, heart-freezing thriller that would win the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival, then this would be that thriller. Maybe it does know what kind of movie it wants to be. 13 (Tzameti) screens Friday through Sunday as part of the ongoing "Magnolia at the Modern" film series at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell Street. Tickets are $7.50, $5.50 for Modern members. Call 817-738-9215 or visit themodern.org/magnolia.

Senior Cords!
Anyone remember Senior Cords?
You going to admit it if you do!!!!!
Cindy Bee
11 comments:
Actually, I remember back in 1976, my Senior Year in High School, my Mom told me about Senior Cords. And just a handful of us made them. We would wear them in cheerblock, but since we didn't conform to the cheerblock uniform, we had to sit in the back! My Mom's era though, they all had them. Now, to answer some questions...I did not paint those. A friend of mine did and we are still friends today. He's actually a high school buddy of my husbands. Hi Kate! Nice to see you again, it's been awhile. I still have them because they always get stored in the back of a closet and get brought out whenever I move. Sigh...if only I were still that small! Brenda, I remember streakers too!!! Ha ha ha I forgot about them though! Susie, I'd be afraid to think what they'd put on them, but I imagine they'd be hanging off of their butt and they'd be pulling them up every time they took a step. Scary! Have a good day everyone.

This week, RMNB's gonna be on hiatus. But while we're away, please submit us questions for an upcoming Fan Q/A post with Andrew Gordon on RMNB's Facebook Fan Page here. We'll be taking your best questions and shooting them over to Gordo to answer. One question he's already agreed to respond to is this:
tfirey – Gordo: I have a lot of questions about how pro athletes train (as it's a world that I'll never know — alas!) Can you tell us what you do in your workouts? Are any exercises hockey-specific, as opposed to standard endurance and strength-building? How does your routine change throughout the year?
I was always wondering that too. Welp, you guys have a great week. We'll be back in no time!
Andrew-Do you stick to a pretty strict diet during the season or are you burning so many caloires that anything goes? Any guilty pleasures (food wise) you can't give up during the season?
Andrew – What's your favorite / least favorite thing about working in Chocolatetown, and what's your favorite Hershey product (and why?)
–Do you stay pretty much on an even keel emotionally overall throughout the season, or do you have dramatic peaks and valleys? If you have dramatic ups and downs what do you do to recover?
–Continuing the subject of handling one's emotions: what do you do to ramp up to get yourself motivated for play on game days, and what do you do to ramp down at game's end? Is it the same win or lose, or do you do different things based on the outcome of the game?
–What would you say are some of the best motivators–teammates or other factors–that have the most positive influence on your play? Is there anything that could have the opposite effect?
– What is the most serious injury you have had to deal with?
– What did you do in order to work though it? (Rehab exercises, etc.)?
– What do you continue do to keep it from recurring?
Andrew-I am 9 years old and learning to play hockey. I eat, sleep, and drink it. At my age do you have any advice to keep me focused on my dream of becoming a professional hockey player. I have started by learning to skate this summer, taken a clinic at my local rink, and have signed up for the Jr. Bears Inhouse Clinic. I am looking forward to seeing you this year at the Bear's games. Thank you for your time.
Andrew- What do you do on your days off to relax and distract yourself from hockey during the season?

بيض القطا local dessert beith alkatta
August 18, 2012 at 3:17 am 4 comments
i came across this simple easy recipe of {beith al katta} traslated as "little birds eggs", in (senses 2 book) by kuwait flour mills & bakeries co.
i always had the idea that its a hard dish to prepare, surprisingly its super easy!!
first you prepare the dough:
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1 pack butter (100gr) ** i used only 3/4 pack i.e 750 gr. its up to you to use the quantity you preffer.
** i also added 1/2 tbls rose water, totally optional.
combine the above ingredients, cover, and keep to rest for half hour.
meanwhile mix 1 cup crushed walnuts with 1/4 tsp cardamom powder ** i used 1 full tsp. i like the flavor ^__^
once the dough is ready after the half hour had pased cut the dough into small balls, fill each ball with 1ts of walnut filling, close and shape as small egg. it takes time to get it right but its cool not that hard trust me, so dont give up easily 😉
now heat some oil and drop the dough balls in deep fry, drain, and cool.
finally drop the fried balls into a bowl of icing sugar and roll untill completly covered with sugar and serve with tea or coffe 🙂
one more tip ** i ran out of walnut filling so i used powder pistachio instead for the remaing dough and it turned out tasty! you can try that as well
i hope you like it ^__^
and happy eid every one
enjoy the holidays ❤

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.31 / 5.00 5,445 ViewsThis is my entry for 1st round of the NMAE tournament (made in 21 days). The theme was "sweet and sour". I wanted to challenge myself a bit, so I decided to go with something film noir-inspired.
To be honest I ended up getting a bit bored with this animation, and no matter how much I stared at it it didn't seem to help. Buuut at least I've got a list of things that worked as well as things that didn't now.
I can recommend watching this in higher quality on my youtube channel: www.youtube.com/Hikarian0 02
Excellent voice acting, and charming art style! Not a very developed story, but hey, not bad for two minutes! I'd like to have seen some extra personality traits that would have made the characters more memorable, but overall, excellent job!
THAT was impressive. By far one of best animations you have produced so far.
The acting was top notch! The lead characters voice reminded me of snake or spike from cowboy bebop :D
The animation was very smooth and had excellent flow. The walk cycles in particular had a great bounce and sense of life. I also really like the style of the linework, it certainly distinguishes you from the crowd.
However, I still think that the background could use a little work and you need to be a bit more careful about your execution of close ups. It seems that, because you aren't using vector lines like in flash, the close cuts have a very noticeable drop in quality. Maybe in future you'd be better off redrawing the close up shots rather than enlarging (or zooming into) a previous mid shot, if that is in fact the case.
Though I can understand if you did that to save time due to the deadline of the competition ;p
Also I feel, though this is only my opinion, that the colour palette could have been a bit bolder. More contrasting colours, deeper blacks etc would have made the 'Film Noir' atmosphere 'pop' just a little bit more. But that is no real fault on your part since it is only my personal, directional preference.
Anyway, keep it up! and hold on to that voice cast! ( really professional ;p )
I'm looking forward to what you come out with next!
Man, that is a great noir film, I loved the concept.
Nice clean animation there, you set the mood perfectly. I just wish this could be a series :P
That was great! The style was soft and in simple yet nostalgic design. It was literally like watching an awesome Mystery, Suspense and Noir animation from back in the good old 90's. Audio especially voice acting was very superb. I really love the portrayal of the detective, you have to send him my regards him made my heart throb with nostalgia. He reminded me of Steve Blum for a minute there! It was a nice short, experimental take and story on mystery and a classic dose of suspense. I'm going to bestow you a 4/5 and a 4/5 in voting power. You've done a fantastic job here friend, You and your crew should be very proud on this final product. I hope the recognition picks up the pace for you. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review friends. Good day.

Refrigerator - Freezer side by side
Model Number: TFX22R Brand: GE Age: More than 10 years
Tony.the Freezer is only getting down to 28, the reefer is hitting 70, and hardly any air is coming from the freezer to the reefer side. I came home one day and found the door to reefer side slightly open and everything inside the reefer was ruined. Deforster cycle works, no ice build up. What could it be? Related Models |
See inside of your appliance - diagrams and part photos for virtually every model. powered by AppliancePartsPros.com |
Here are your parts
Replacement parts for TFX22R models | AppliancePartsPros.com First you have to check if the compressor is running. Should be warm, you should also be able to hear it and feel it vibrating. If it is running and the freezer temperature will not drop then you may have a freon leak/low freon condition. Remove the evaporator coil cover and check them. If you only have frost in one area then is probably low freon. You will need a pro to fix this and it will not be cheap, probably better off investing those dollars into a new unit. If it is cycling could be your thermostat is shot. Also check that the evaporator fan is running. Check the condenser fan is running and the condenser coils are clean.
Thanks. denman.
All of the conditions you mention were verified, and coils are clean. However, we didn't check for low freon. I'll pull the cover off the back of the freezer side and check for frost. It is frost decycling fine. A) is the freon 12 or 22, are are their fittings to allow for adding the freon (lie on an A.C system) or is a special tool needed? B) Is there a reason very, very little air is coming from the freezer side to the reefer side at the opening up top on the left? Thanks again. |

Full profile →'">
The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Silicon Valley and other developed regions are great if you want to find investment for your next big "Facebook idea" or start a business for your new high-tech drug. But if you are starting a low-tech business from scratch, manufacturing a physical product, or starting a new service business, the place to be is in a newly industrialized country (NIC). Turkey, China, India and Brazil are examples of newly industrialized countries where a very small investment on a good idea can really skyrocket. Once you go national in one of these countries, you could then turn to a developed economy to go global.
After spending 9 years in the US, going to college and working for a start-up, In 2008, I moved to my home town Izmir in Turkey, and started a business with everything I learned. It was a scary decision at first, having to pay a big US university student loan while in Turkey. But surprisingly, with almost no investment in the beginning, it took just a few years to go national with my business, pay my student loans, and achieve financial freedom. Here are several reasons to consider starting your business in a newly industrialized country like Turkey.
- Turmoil: Continuous turmoil and discontinuity may seem like a disadvantage because of unpredictability, but the constant change going on in the society and economy brings a lot of opportunities with it. Imagine this to be like a cake mix and as you mix it in the blender, raisins (opportunities) constantly keep appearing on the surface.
- Weak competition: Most markets have a lot of potential for better designed products with better customer service. This is such a huge advantage when it comes to starting a new company. People are so hungry for great design and great service that you immediately stand out.
- Strong consumer spending: The last couple of years have been amazing for consumer spending in newly industrialized countries. The young population loves great brands and don`t think twice before spending. Trends and fashion quickly take off among youngsters. People love spending on whatever is new. In Turkey, like in other NICs, there seems to be a "Secret Switzerland" that spends a lot of money on luxury goods and services. Any global luxury brand will tell you about how their sales have taken off in these countries.
- High retail prices: The retail prices for products are same or higher from what you would see in US. Most great brands that come from developed economies are more expensive because of tax and customs. If you create a local brand that people love, you could still have a high margin while pricing your product lower than the competition.
- Low operating costs: Starting salaries and the cost of labor is still relatively low. Starting a business in US or UK will cost you a fortune compared to Turkey. Each year, over half a million students graduate from universities. Starting salaries stay extremely low when all of these students are looking for jobs. These students should really rather try starting businesses instead of looking for jobs because the economy is so hungry for entrepreneurs. Another great opportunity lies with low-cost suppliers. There are a lot of capable generic suppliers who do not charge a premium for their products and services because they do not have brand equity. This creates a great cost advantage when sourcing products and services from them.
- Local manufacturers: It is very common to locate manufacturers close to where you operate from. When you have an idea, you could easily drive or take a bus to a local manufacturer and they will be more than willing to help. They are so nice and supporting, that most won't even charge for simple prototypes. The minimum order quantities are so low that you can usually fund the first run yourself.
- Unpenetrated markets: It may be difficult to find an original idea in a saturated developed economy. Most of the time you need to innovate something out of this world to break in to the market. Whereas in countries like Turkey, there are opportunities everywhere. It may be hard to see them from the stand point of a local, but if you have lived outside Turkey for a few years or are a foreigner, what is missing is obvious. The different culture and way of living provides inspiration for ideas that could start there and go global. Some entrepreneurs research successful business models that have worked in developed countries and replicate or adapt them to the local market. Occasionally they even get acquired by the foreign company that had originally inspired them.
In conclusion, newly industrialized countries provide a very fertile ground for ideas and businesses that start with little to no investment. It may have been less attractive in the past, but now, with enough resources and a spending population, they have become extremely attractive.

Description: ANDREA CHIESI - Clandestina II, Edition number 33 of 40. This artwork is part of the Industrial Structures series. The artist research started in the 80s exploring abandoned places and architectural structures. They all are inspired by real places but not all of them survived to the present day.
Condition Report: Excellent
Notes: Andrea Chiesi initially drew inspiration from early 80's punk and independent music, a scene he immersed himself within, and the contrast of cultures has influenced his style. Chiesi's palette often utilises striking black and white with hints of vibrant hues. His artwork is focused on his surroundings, his experience of them and Chiesi's ability to place the viewer within a space. By absorbing the presence of architectural forms you quickly become part of the painting and feel the emotional impact of what at first glance seems to be an urban structure. Chiesi creates these places, which he depicts as space in which we the viewer inhabits. He draws us into the experience, a shared vision of artist and observer, a very human emotional reaction, which derives from his artistic development. Being self-taught, Chiesi has incorporated life experience and true feeling instead of a distinctive architectural style that is formulaic. Chiesi's use of mediums also conveys this sense of mood as he states "The use of ink in drawings and the oil painting technique are carried on simultaneously and it helps to pay attention to the differences between the two worlds: a shifting and fluent universe the first, a metaphysical and timeless one, the latter." Our experience may change but the structural aspects are the solid foundation to constant change. It is the social experience of the contemporary landscape that Chiesi is exploring, through his practice.

Developing new urban public transport systems: An irrational decision-making process.
Transport Policy
, 3
pp. 225-239.
The decision-making process for planning new urban public transport systems in the UK is examined by studying 11 new and planned systems. The objectives of building the systems relate to transport and development issues. A number of key factors are taken into account during the decision-making process: forecast demand, image, deregulation of buses, technological innovation, private sector involvement and the funding mechanism. The requirement for proven technology and the forecast demand for the systems reduces the choice to one of light rail or bus. The effects of bus deregulation, funding and image, essentially reduce that choice to light rail or nothing. Cost should be kept low, which suggests a bus based system, but current legislation favours more expensive light rail systems. The conclusion is that although transport planners make rational decisions within the current political framework, the framework, and therefore some of the decisions, are not rational.

Minnesota has retained the No. 1 spot in an annual report on senior health, but Wisconsin's rise to 10th in the nation was the biggest leap of any state.
The United Health Foundation's study, "America's Health Rankings Senior Report: A Call to Action for Individuals and Their Communities," showed Wisconsin rose from 19th.
The findings showed that nearly 15 percent of Wisconsin residents 65 and older reported falling within the past 12 months, compared with about 27 percent nationally, according to the La Crosse Tribune. Twenty-six percent of Minnesota's seniors fell, placing the state 14th in that measure.
Doug Mormann, director of the La Crosse County Health Department, credited programs sponsored by the health department, churches, organizations such as the YMCA and the area's two major health institutions that teach strategies to avoid falls, as well as exercise and strength training.
"It really is important for family members to encourage parents and aunts and uncles to exercise," he said. "It doesn't have to be strenuous — it could just be walking."
The report gives Wisconsin demerits for a "high prevalence of chronic drinking" and obesity. The state ranks 49th for problem drinking, compared with Minnesota's 28th. Wisconsin ranked 47th for obesity; Minnesota was at 24.
Wisconsin seniors registered fifth place in smoking, compared with Minnesota's 22nd. Wisconsin has a high percentage of dedicated health care providers, finishing third. Minnesota was 43rd.
Wisconsin seniors are good about getting their teeth checked, snapping up third place for dental visits, while Minnesota locked its jaws on first.
The United Health Foundation, a nonprofit arm of UnitedHealth Group, issues reports on health status of other segments of society and began the senior report last year.
The study cites some encouraging results:
"We saw improvements in quality of nursing home care and end-of-life care. We also saw some gains in levels of activity among seniors and some reductions in avoidable hospitalizations."

Join 35,000+ people just like you who get our free newsletter.
But collecting money can be a difficult task if you don't have much experience with it. Do you send a physical invoice in the mail? Do you email an invoice? Perhaps online invoicing is the solution…
And for every designer it's different.
Today's goal is to offer a few suggestions, and get your opinion in the comments section.
A few solid options
The most obvious choice is to send an invoice in the mail. But that can mean delayed payment, "the check is in the mail" excuses, increased mailing costs, etc.
Aside from the usual invoice in an envelope method, there are a few solid options for invoicing. Below you'll find a few online options.
- BlinkSale.com – as you can guess from it's name, BlinkSale is all about helping you get paid quickly and easily.
- FreshBooks.com – my personal invoicing service of choice, FreshBooks has an easy-to-use interface and works great for both you and your clients.
- BillingBoss.com – a great solution if you're looking for a free service that will help you track simple invoices.
I've also heard other options from designers such as delivering the invoice personally, simply writing an email and requiring payment via paypal, or creating your own template in Microsoft Excel. What other options do you use?
Which is best?
So here's the real question: What's the most effective way to invoice your clients? You've probably used some great tools that I haven't mentioned here and I would love to hear what you have to say. So go ahead, leave a comment and share your tips with the rest of us!

I attend college three days a week. the course is superb and the tutors are 5. ...more
Average student ranking
The tutors where not uptodate and did not even know that the specification had been changed 3 years previously and consiquently that their assignements where out of date. Tutors had poor spoken and written english. A large sum was charged for course materials but the course did not include any handouts or practical activities. The course was badly taught and poorly organised with a high drop out rate. Tutors were not willing to explain any concepts that students struggled with or draw on industrial experience.
I attend college three days a week. the course is superb and the tutors are 5. I do professional exams like CCNA and stuff every now and then. I mostly do assignment
Found it unorganised and un inspiring. Some teachers were ok
The course was taught by an inexperienced lady, however, she is getting better day by day. The pack is okay and the course is not too difficult. The teacher is really helpful and I understand more about SAGE even before the class.
very good tutoring, Fatima did a great job with us but it was hard to learn all the anatomy and physiology at the same time as practice massage and write portfolios... she was very enthusiastic thou and funny as well so made it easier for us to stay interested and focused.
Good computer course that can help you a lot. I would recommend it.
The course was very good, though could have improved in some areas. Well worth doing. Now have IT job in a well known bank because of it.
It is quite a fast pace course and you get lots of support from the tutor who is up beat. You will get an NVQ at the end and learn how to use front page to make a simple website. You will need to have good word knowledge and don't expect to come out making fancy sites, but it will do the job.

Deaths | 2 |
British Army corporals David Howes and Derek Wood[1] were killed by the Provisional IRA on 19 March 1988 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in an event which became known as the corporals killings. The off-duty soldiers were wearing plain-clothes when they were killed by the IRA after encountering the funeral procession of an IRA member whilst returning from Belfast to Lisburn.[2][3] Three days before, loyalist paramilitary Michael Stone had attacked an IRA funeral and killed three people. Believing the soldiers were loyalists intent on repeating Stone's attack,[4] dozens of people surrounded and attacked their car. During this, Corporal Wood drew his service pistol and fired a shot in the air. The soldiers were then dragged from the car, beaten, and taken to nearby waste ground where they were stripped and shot dead.[4]
The incident was filmed by television cameras and the images have been described as some of the "most dramatic and harrowing" of the conflict in Northern Ireland.[1]
The killings took place against a backdrop of violence at high-profile Irish republican funerals. A heavy security presence was criticized as instigating unrest, leading authorities to adopt a "hands off" policy with respect to policing IRA funerals.[5] On 6 March 1988, three unarmed IRA members preparing for a bomb attack on the band of the Royal Anglian Regiment[6] were killed by members of the Special Air Service (SAS) in Gibraltar during Operation Flavius. Their unpoliced funerals in Belfast's Milltown Cemetery on 16 March were attacked by Ulster Defence Association (UDA) member Michael Stone with pistols and hand grenades, in what became known as the Milltown Cemetery attack. Three people were killed and more than 60 wounded, one of the dead being IRA member Caoimhín Mac Brádaigh (Kevin Brady). Mac Brádaigh's funeral, just three days after Stone's attack, took place amid an extremely fearful and tense atmosphere, those attending being in trepidation of another loyalist attack.[7] The attendance at the funeral included large numbers of IRA members who acted as stewards.
David Robert Howes (23) and Derek Tony Wood (24) were corporals in the British Army's Royal Corps of Signals. According to the British Army, Howes and Wood ignored general orders to stay away from IRA funeral processions.[8] It has been presumed that the two men drove into the procession by accident.[5][9]
The killings[edit]
David Howes and Derek Wood were wearing civilian clothes and driving in a silver Volkswagen Passat hatchback. The Mac Brádaigh funeral was making its way along the Andersonstown Road towards Milltown Cemetery when the car containing the two corporals appeared. The car headed straight towards the front of the funeral, which was headed by several black taxis. It drove past a Sinn Féin steward who signalled it to turn. Mourners at the funeral said they believed they were under attack from Ulster loyalists.[10] The car then mounted a pavement, scattering mourners, and turned into a small side road. When this road was blocked, it then reversed at speed, ending up within the funeral cortege. When the driver attempted to extricate the car from the cortege his exit route was blocked by a black taxi.
When the car was surrounded and the windows smashed, those surrounding attempted to drag the soldiers out. Wood produced a handgun,[11] which certain off-duty members of the security forces were permitted to carry at the time. Wood climbed part of the way out of a window, firing a shot in the air which briefly scattered the crowd. Television pictures showed the crowd surging back, with some of them attacking the vehicle with a wheel-brace and a stepladder snatched from a photographer. The corporals were eventually pulled from the car and punched and kicked to the ground.
Journalist Mary Holland recalled seeing one of the men being dragged past a group of journalists: "He didn't cry out, just looked at us with terrified eyes, as though we were all enemies in a foreign country who wouldn't have understood what language he was speaking if he called out for help."[12] They were dragged to the nearby Casement Park sports ground. Here they were again beaten and stripped to their underpants and socks by a small group of men. According to the BBC and The Independent the men were also tortured.[2][10][13] A search revealed that the men were British Army soldiers. Redemptorist priest Father Alec Reid, who later played a significant part in the peace process leading to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, intervened and attempted to get someone to call for an ambulance, but was dragged away and threatened with shooting if he didn't stand up; he was then pulled away from the men.[14] The corporals were further beaten and thrown over a high wall to be put into a waiting black taxi. It was driven off at speed, while camera crews captured one of its passengers waving a fist in the air.
The two men were driven less than 200 yards to waste ground near Penny Lane (South Link), just off the main Andersonstown Road. There they were shot several times. Wood was shot six times, twice in the head and four times in the chest. He was also stabbed four times in the back of the neck and had multiple injuries to other parts of his body. Reid had been following the perpetrators in an attempt to intervene and save Howes and Wood; when he arrived at the scene he gave the last rites to the two men.[15]
According to photographer David Cairns, although photographers were having their films taken by the IRA, he was able to keep his by quickly leaving the area after taking a photograph of Reid kneeling beside the almost naked body of Howes, administering the last rites. Cairns' photograph was subsequently designated one of the best pictures of the past 50 years by Life magazine.
Shortly after, the IRA released a statement:
The Belfast brigade, IRA, claims responsibility for the execution of two SAS members who launched an attack on the funeral cortege of our comrade volunteer Kevin Brady. The SAS unit was initially apprehended by the people lining the route in the belief that armed loyalists were attacking them and they were removed from the immediate vicinity. Our volunteers forcibly removed the two men from the crowd and, after clearly ascertaining their identities from equipment and documentation, we executed them.[16]
Northern Ireland Secretary Tom King acknowledged that the Milltown Cemetery attack and the killing of Howes and Wood were "wholly unacceptable and do require immediate review in regard to policing to be followed at any future funeral."[5] Conservative MP Michael Mates nonetheless defended the "hands off" policy, saying "A return to heavy-handed policing could provoke riots, which is what the IRA want so they can say to the world 'They won't even let us bury our dead in peace.'"[8] Fine Gael leader Alan Dukes, Labour leader Dick Spring and Taoiseach Charlie Haughey all condemned the killings. The British prime minister at the time, Margaret Thatcher called the killings "an act of appalling savagery".
On 2 August 1988, Lance-Corporal Roy Butler of the Ulster Defence Regiment was shot and killed in Belfast with one of the guns taken from the corporals.[17][18]
Two men, Alex Murphy and Harry Maguire, were found guilty of the murder of the corporals.[2][10] They were jailed for life in 1989, with a recommendation of a minimum 25 years. Murphy received a further 83 years, and Maguire 79 years, for bodily harm, falsely imprisoning the soldiers, and possessing a gun and ammunition. Sir Brian Hutton, sentencing, said
"All murders are brutal, but the murders of Corporal Howes and Corporal Wood were particularly savage and vicious . . . They were stripped of most of their clothing and they lay in their own blood in the back of the taxi when you took them to the waste ground to be killed, and in that pitiable and defenceless state you brought about their murders as they lay on the ground."[19]
Both men had been listed as senior members of the IRA's Belfast Brigade. In 1973, at the age of 15, Murphy had been the youngest republican internee in Long Kesh prison, which later became known as the Maze. Maguire became a member of the IRA's "camp staff" in the Maze, one of the senior IRA men effectively in control of the republican wings, and met Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlam when she visited the jail to negotiate with prisoners.[20] In November 1998, Murphy and Maguire were released from the Maze prison as part of the early prisoner release scheme under the Good Friday Agreement.[10] Maguire is now chairman of the Belfast office of Community Restorative Justice Ireland, a police-supported group aimed at dealing with low-level crime through mediation and intended to replace the practice of "punishment beatings" and kneecappings by paramilitaries.[21]
A further three men were in 1990 found guilty by common purpose of aiding and abetting the murder. The men (Pat Kane, Mickey Timmons, and Seán Ó Ceallaigh) were dubbed the "Casement Three" by republicans who disputed the validity of their convictions.[22] Kane's conviction was quashed on appeal due to the unreliability of his confession.[23] Ó Ceallaigh was released in 1998 under the Good Friday Agreement.[24]
Terence Clarke, the chief steward on the day, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment for assaulting Corporal Wood. Clarke had served as Gerry Adams' bodyguard; he died of cancer in 2000.

This product does deliver on the performance aspect but I was a bit underwhelmed with the fuel economy aspect. Yes it does run spicy in the street and extreme settings but does worse on MPG. There is supposed to be an economy program with this product but I can't find it. Also, the instructions are kind of generic. Overall, I'm happy but feel like I have to run it juiced up or completely off because I cant find the economy setting for my morning commute.

Christianus Schotanus (1603-1671) was a Reformed pastor and from 1639 a professor at the University of Franeker, Friesland, Netherlands, where he at first taught Greek and history and later also theology. His most outstanding book was De Geschiedenissen kerkelyck ende wereltlyck van Friesland oost ende west . . . tot op het jaer 1583 (Franeker, 1658), which, though antiquated in its first part, is still of importance for the history of the 16th century. Schotanus was a bitter antagonist of the Mennonites and attacked them in Van de Gronden der Mennisterij, ofte Waerschouwinghe over 't Bloed-tooneel der Doopsgesinde van Thieleman Jans van Bracht (Leeuwarden, 1671). This book, written by order of the Reformed Synod in Friesland, severely criticizes van Braght's Martyrs' Mirror, first edition of 1660. Schotanus' main theses are: the Waldenses have not preserved the Apostolic traditions; the Mennonites have their origin in the Münster revolt; the government should be on guard as to the Mennonites; because of ungodly revolutionary principles in the past, they should not be granted toleration. This book by Schotanus is very biased and has no historic value.

Management and Industrial Relations Practices and Outcomes in Australian Workplaces
Poor industrial relations performance can be costly for firms. In particular, employee quits, employee absence, industrial action and substandard relations between management and employees can all be detrimental to the firm. Using the 1995 Australian Workplace and Industrial Relations Survey (AWIRS), this paper examines how particular human resource management techniques and industrial relations settings can influence the industrial relations outcomes of Australian workplaces. The results indicate that unions have played an important role in affecting performance outcomes. They also suggest that, although particular human resource management techniques can have an influence on performance, there is no single bundle of human resource management policies that can be applied across workplaces to affect measures of performance in the same way.

The Knicks won't officially announce their summer league roster until after the draft, but as of now, the team expects Iman Shumpert to participate.
According to a league source, Chris Smith, J.R.'s brother, is expected to play as well.
The team wants Shumpert to get reps in Las Vegas after he missed the first two-and-a-half months of the 2012-13 season while recovering from ACL surgery.
The Knicks may ask Shumpert to play point guard during summer league. There is an inherent risk, of course, with asking Shumpert to play in organized games during the summer. It would be devastating for the organization if Shumpert suffered an injury, and the move to play him would then be heavily second-guessed.
As for Chris Smith, he signed a two-year contract with the Knicks last summer but was released during the preseason after he suffered a torn ACL.
The younger Smith has spent time rehabbing and working out at the Knicks' practice facility and, according to those who have seen him work out recently, is nearly back at full strength.

Kevin Craft Is a Bona Fide Magician
A must read from SportsHubLA: Kevin Craft's performance on Monday as the three stages of a magician's trick. Really creative, good stuff.
In Christopher Nolan's 2006 film The Prestige, Michael Caine's character, Cutter, describes the three stages of a magician's trick: the pledge, the turn, and the prestige. On Monday night, UCLA quarterback Kevin Craft mystified the University of Tennessee with a magic act of his own, leading one of the most stirring second half transformations you may ever witness.
The Pledge: "The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird, or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course…it probably isn't."
I dig. Check out the rest here.

A visit to the college campus at Berkeley has turned into a three-week road trip from Seattle to San Diego
At first glance, the Reazers seem like an average family. Ed and Laura have three kids (Ben, 16; Emily, 13; and Elizabeth, 10) and live in Cleona, a small town in rural Pennsylvania. They're big fans of the ocean, and many of their top vacation memories involve water--snorkeling in Kauai, whale watching in Maine, island-hopping in the Florida Keys. As we quickly learned while planning the family's trip to the West Coast, however, the Reazers are far from conventional, and proud of it. "We're an odd, motley bunch," Laura told us. "I've never seen people like us in your magazine, or any magazine really."
Ever since Laura realized it would take Ben an hour on the bus to get to kindergarten, all the Reazer children have been homeschooled. Laura supplements at-home learning with trips to museums and historic sites. The children also do volunteer work, sending gift bags to kids with cancer. The girls both love animals; Emily even mucks stalls at a horse farm in exchange for riding lessons. And then there's Ben, who provided the excuse for the trip. Ben has long hair, dresses all in black, and is really into music--The Doors, Johnny Cash, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, you name it. He plays his guitar at every opportunity, even sitting in regularly with a group of middle-aged guys strumming bluegrass. Ben's interested in attending the University of California at Berkeley next year.
With three weeks free in September, the Reazers will fly into Seattle and drive down the coast, visiting the Cal campus along the way, before catching a flight home from San Diego. (One of the advantages of homeschooling is that families don't have to take vacations in the summer, convenient considering the Reazers hate crowds.) They asked us to help plan the trip, taking into account they didn't want theme parks or other tourist standards. "We'd like to try alternative accommodations: yurts, hostels, and so forth," Laura wrote to us. "They sound so cool, and we are trying to keep costs low."
One interest shared by the whole family is food. "We all love eating and trying new things, the weirder the better," said Laura. Seattle's Pike Place Market, while not exactly undiscovered, is where out-of-towners and neighborhood regulars buy fresh fish, flowers, and fruit. Rainier cherries, a sweet local variety, make a great walking snack.
For lodging, we recommended the Ace Hotel, just north of downtown. Most hotels charge extra for a hip look, but the spare, elegant rooms at the Ace are affordable for Seattle (under $200 a night for two rooms).
"My son wants to see Jimi Hendrix's grave," said Laura. Hendrix, born and raised in Seattle, is buried southeast of the city in Renton, where music lovers leave flowers or personal notes (jimihendrixmemorial.com). Seattle's Experience Music Project, a huge museum founded by Microsoft guru (and Hendrix fan) Paul Allen, is probably worth a visit. Inside are costumes and instruments used by rock legends, and in September they're showing concert footage of Hendrix every hour.
Self-described "beach freaks," the Reazers' next stop is three hours' south of Seattle at Cape Disappointment State Park. The waters are always rough and cold, but the dramatic cliffs make for wonderful scenery. Emily gets excited about puppies, much less wild animals, so she should enjoy spotting seals and whales. The park rents cabins and yurts for $40 a night.
Another three hours in the car brings the family to Portland, Ore., a town we obviously like (see p.88). One place not mentioned in that story is Edgefield. Just outside the city, it's a 200-year-old farm that's been converted into a movie theater, restaurant, golf course, and hotel.
Elizabeth and Emily are looking forward to collecting sand dollars, the flat shells of the spiny sea creatures called echinoids. They'll be able to find them, as well as seals and sea otters, at Cape Lookout State Park, due west of Portland.
From there, the Reazers have a choice: Stick to the coast all the way to California or head inland for some of Oregon's mountains, lakes, and trees. We recommended heading east from Florence to Eugene, a college town in tune with Berkeley's hippie past, continuing into the pristine Cascade mountains. Near the state border is an unusual overnight experience: the Out'N'About Treehouse Treesort rents cabins built into the trees.
In California, the Reazers' first stop is in Crescent City at the Northcoast Marine Mammal Center, where they'll learn how injured seals, dolphins, and whales are nurtured back to health. Afterward, Ed Reazer's one request--seeing some giant California redwoods--will be addressed. South of Crescent City are the 300-foot-tall trees of Redwood National Park, where there's a hostel with ocean views.
