No mistake found-it works just fine! I was doing it last night in my garake and it must be my multimeter gone wrong due to low temperature (-7 / -8°C) , or there was metal splinter doing some shortcut on his own. I don´t know what was wrong,but it works now. I also found out that i have one NE555,so there will be one more APEX,this time as a protection circuit! Now the only thing i should do is to learn how to play electric guitar! Thanks mr.Mile Slavković APEX , one more time!

Quitar Amp
Hello, sir Mile. I build your guitar amp, but I do not know what kind are these capacitors:
In the schematic are given without polarity, but this value seems a tantalum capacitor. I dont know what exactly is ? Please help me, or if it is not important and i dont need to put them. Thanks and Best Regards. |

Problem :(
Hi sir Mile,i cant find exactly 16 volt bipolar caps and i put same with 100volts, which I guess is not a problem except for size. All look normal and final stage work (mean the drivers and MJH11018/17), but my input is line-out, rather than input. In the ''Input'' i dont have any brum and also to pin 3 on TL072. I have signal just on C14 / 33n, and Line-out. The 2 diodes 1n4148 on the input have +/-16 volts. In facts i guess that the preamplifier and adjustments do not work. I dont see any mistakes in the PCB assembly or elements. If you have any idea where can be the problem, I will be happy. Thank you.

Part 2 of Facefucked, Nathan tries to reciprocate and they are interrupted
We both sat naked next to each other, my cock standing stiff and erect, Nathan's laying flaccid and sticky against his thigh. He slid on his boxers and looked over at my boner.
"Did that turn you on?" he asked. I was suddenly terrified. I didn't want him to think I enjoyed it, I only sucked his dick because I lost a bet. It wasn't gay, it was just a bet. But I did enjoy it. And my erection was proof of that. I grabbed my shorts and began to put them on, until he said something else that stopped me dead in my tracks.
"Because it turned me on" he said with a smile. I froze for a moment, and began to pull down my shorts again.
"Would you finish me off?" I asked. "I won't tell anyone, it's not gay-"
He cut me off with a kiss. I was momentarily stunned as our tongues met in my mouth, and the combination of relief and pleasure flowed from my lips to the rest of my body. A million sexy thoughts ran through my mind, such as the trace amounts of Nathan's cum still in my mouth now being snowballed back and forth between us, or the possibility of a new fuck buddy. I rubbed my ever-hardening dick against his, prompting him to move his lips down my body, planting kisses and licks at my nipples and below my bellybutton.
He finally wrapped his lips around my tip, and I nearly lost it there. The sexy thoughts continued to surface, and I marveled at the idea of one of my best friends, someone I'd fantasized about for months, sucking my cock. I laid my head against the couch and put my hand on the back of Nathan's head as he gave his first blowjob.
I was nearly to orgasm when I heard the door slam. I looked up to see one of our friends, Austin, laughing at us. Nathan, also startled by the sound, got off of his knees and we both scrambled to put our clothes on.
"I didn't know this was the project you were inviting me over to work on" Austin said with a laugh.
"I can explain, just don't tell anyone" Nathan said. I didn't know how he was going to explain that, I was just trying to get out of the situation. They continued to talk as I got dressed and tried to slip out the back door.
"Cade! Come back!" Nathan shouted, just as I was about to turn the knob.
"I won't tell anyone if both of you give me a blowjob," Austin said. I couldn't believe my luck. Austin was as good looking as Nathan, and I was going to blow the both of them on the same day.
Austin took a seat on the couch and loosened his belt. Me and Nathan both looked at each other nervously. "Don't pretend you guys don't know what you're doing, I bet you guys suck each other off every day" Austin teased. I decided to take charge and pull his jeans to his ankles. His cock was already half erect and poking through the hole in his briefs. I began to suck it, and he moaned above me. Nathan began to lick his shaft, and I moved up to his stomach. I worked my tongue into his briefs and ran my tongue through his pubes to the hilt of his dick.
I slid his briefs off and we both continued sucking. Me and Nathan worked over his head, we pushed it back and forth between our tongues. Then I began to deepthroat him while Nathan sucked on his balls. We continued like that for several minutes, Austin's moans getting longer each time we switched positions. I could tell Austin was close to cumming, when he stood up.
"I need some ass. Cade, bend over that coffee table." I looked at him with eyes of protest until I remembered his threat to reveal me and Nathan's activities. Begrudgingly, I did as I was told and walked over to the low, flat coffe table and laid down on it. Austin got to his knees behind me and spread my legs apart. I braced myself. His cock was large, comperable to Nathan's. I felt a tight, dull pain around my asshole as he plunged in his tip. I shuddered and shook the table. He continued to push deeper and I continued to grit my teeth. I felt his balls against my thighs and winced, knowing he was fully inside of me. I took a deep breath and he began to fuck me, starting out slowly. With each thrust, the pain slowly went away and I began to enjoy it. We started up a rhythm, and Nathan moved to the front of the coffee table and put his dick in my mouth. He began to fuck my mouth like he had earlier, pushing my nose into his pubes while Austin continued to pound my ass. The coffee table rocked back and forth as they both thrust into me. I was convinced this had to be a dream. We all moaned loudly, Austin's cock sliding in and out of me was a sensation I'd never felt before, and I loved it.
Austin thrusted hard in to me, his balls slapping against mine. He leaned his head back and shouted in ecstasy as he pulled his cock out, shooting his load in my ass. I felt his hot cum in me, and tried to finish off Nathan. I slurped loudly, and he busted his second nut of the day in my mouth. Nathan moaned as loud as Austin as he filled my mouth with his sperm.
"Don't swallow it" Austin commanded me. He told Nathan to come around to the other side of the table and to get on his knees. I felt Nathan's tongue begin to lap up all of Austin's cum inside my asshole. He pulled me off the table and kissed me, mixing Austin's cum in with his own. Austin then got down on his knees and began to suck my dick. I came quickly after all of the build up, and Austin caught every last drop of my enourmous load. He stood up and kissed me, and spit my own cum back into my mouth.
"Now swallow it" he said with a devilish smile. I did as I was told, and as the thick, salty mixture worked its way down my throat, I grinned with him.

Press Information Notice: IMF Concludes Article IV Consultation with Jamaica
August 10, 1998
Public Information Notices (PINs) are issued, (i) at the request of a member country, following the conclusion of the Article IV consultation for countries seeking to make known the views of the IMF to the public. This action is intended to strengthen IMF surveillance over the economic policies of member countries by increasing the transparency of the IMF's assessment of these policies; and (ii) following policy discussions in the Executive Board at the decision of the Board. |
On July 15, 1998, the Executive Board concluded the Article IV consultation with Jamaica1.
During FY 1997 (fiscal years begin April 1) the Jamaican Government continued the anti-inflationary program launched at the end of 1995, relying on a tight monetary policy and the maintenance of a relatively stable exchange rate. In particular, the authorities' macroeconomic program for FY 1997 aimed at an inflation rate of 8–9 percent while achieving output growth of 2–3 percent. The overall public sector deficit was to be reduced to 1.5 percent of GDP in FY 1997 and the government targeted an increase in net international reserves of US$110 million.
In the event, the authorities succeeded in bringing inflation down to 8.8 percent in FY 1997, and maintaining relative exchange rate stability. The overall public sector deficit widened to over 9 percent of GDP, financed mainly by the banking system and net external borrowing. The government successfully tapped international markets for US$300 million in FY 1997 and received a Moody's sovereign bond rating of Ba3 in March 1998. An increase of over 50 percent in the stock of open market operations kept the growth of base money broadly in line with the targeted inflation rate, and the Bank of Jamaica lost US$50 million in net international reserves. The Jamaica dollar depreciated by about 4 percent against the U.S. dollar during FY 1997, but in real effective terms it appreciated by about 10 percent. The external current account deficit increased to about 5.5 percent of GDP in FY 1997 as most exports declined, the value of nonbauxite imports increased substantially, and transfers fell. While net official capital flows increased, this was more than offset by a decline in private capital inflows.
As a result of the tight monetary policy, real interest rates rose to almost 20 percent. Combined with a severe drought that affected agricultural production and the continued problems in the financial system, this led to a decline in output of 2.4 percent after a decline of 1.9 percent in the previous year.
The government continued to deal with the crisis in the financial sector by intervening and otherwise supporting financial groups with capital insolvency and liquidity problems largely through its Financial Sector Adjustment Company (FINSAC). Most of the support to the financial sector—reaching some 30 percent of GDP—took place in the form of floating rate interest notes. In addition, the Bank of Jamaica improved the supervision over the banking system and the legislative framework was amended to strengthen prudential regulations. The intervention in the financial sector has resulted in a substantial increase in public ownership both in terms of financial institutions and other assets such as hotels and real estate.
The government's macroeconomic program for FY 1998 is part of a three-year strategy to achieve output growth of 4–5 percent, a return to fiscal surpluses, inflation rates similar to those of trading partners, and net international reserves equivalent to 14 weeks of imports. Within this context, the government's program for FY 1998 targets output growth of 2–3 percent, an inflation rate of 8 percent, and a fiscal deficit of about 4.5 percent (excluding interest payments related to debt issued in support of the financial sector). Base money growth would be limited to the growth of nominal income, and net international reserves would increase by US$15 million.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors noted that since the last extended arrangement with Jamaica expired in March 1996, inflation had been reduced sharply through the implementation of a tight monetary policy and the maintenance of a stable exchange rate. However, Directors expressed concerns that, over the same period, the public sector balance had shifted from a surplus to a large deficit, and the mix of policies had resulted in very high real interest rates, a substantial real appreciation of the currency, and declining output. In the circumstances, long standing problems in the financial system were brought to the surface.
Directors were of the view that the current mix of policies risked undermining the authorities' objective of achieving output and employment growth over the medium term. In that regard, they stressed that the adoption of a comprehensive macroeconomic program and a further deepening of structural reform efforts would be critical for achieving lasting macroeconomic stability and for placing the Jamaican economy on a path of sustainable economic growth over the medium term.
Directors agreed with the authorities that restoring a stronger fiscal position would be a central element in rebalancing the anti-inflation effort. To that end, the government would need to contain spending and press ahead with its efforts to improve tax administration in order toachieve the targeted central government deficit. However, Directors shared the staff's concerns that the revenue projections in the budget are very optimistic, and that wage and interest payments may be underestimated. They urged the authorities to stand ready to reinforce their announced fiscal actions by introducing additional tax measures, eliminating tax exemptions, and taking steps to reduce expenditures so as to adhere to their fiscal objective. Directors also noted that a stronger fiscal effort was needed to help meet the interest obligations stemming from the difficulties of the financial system.
Directors noted the authorities' recent success in raising medium-term resources from international capital markets, and underlined the importance of using those resources to amortize existing debt. They stressed that prudence would need to be exercised to avoid an increase in Jamaica's external debt burden—including by guaranteeing private sector borrowing—a shortening of its maturity structure, or an undue increase in its cost. Directors indicated that Jamaica needed a strong fiscal position to meet its debt-service obligations, together with an aggressive privatization program to reduce the stock of debt.
Directors noted that the government had managed the problems of the financial system in a way that had avoided a collapse of depositor confidence, but at a very high cost in terms of the public sector's support to the system. Directors were of the view that the Financial Sector Adjustment Company (FINSAC) needed to complete the process of dealing with weak financial institutions so as to proceed to the stage of returning a sound financial system back to private sector management. Directors noted the planned reduction in the cash reserve requirement and that continued reductions of legal cash reserve and liquidity requirements would increase the interest of new investors and facilitate the restructuring of the system. Directors welcomed the progress that had been made in strengthening banking system supervision and encouraged the Bank of Jamaica to strengthen supervision of institutions controlled by FINSAC. The supervision of insurance companies also needed to be strengthened.
Directors noted that the Jamaican economy faces serious competitive problems, as reflected in the current account of the balance of payments and the stagnation and decline of output in recent years. In addition, the current mix of policies has placed a heavy burden on monetary policy and has led to the high level of interest rates. While interest rates might need to stay high for some time as part of a comprehensive program of adjustment, the success of the government's strategy will ultimately be reflected in a decline of interest rates to levels conducive to the sustained growth of output and employment. While Directors agreed with the authorities that gradual adjustment of the exchange rate, combined with improvements in efficiency and productivity, could help improve the competitiveness of the Jamaican economy over the medium term, some Directors expressed the view that greater exchange rate flexibility would be desirable, emphasizing that such a policy, combined with strengthened fiscal policy and wage restraint, would be essential to safeguard competitiveness over the medium term.
Directors were of the view that to achieve a lasting improvement in competitiveness, the government would need to address the critical issue of controlling nominal wages in the economy, especially in the public sector. In the end, Jamaica must find the right combination of political, social, and economic mechanisms to ensure that nominal wage setting in the economy was fully consistent with all aspects of its economic program.
To achieve medium-term viability, Jamaica would need to support short-term economic measures with a deepening of structural reform efforts. Those reforms, in addition to those affecting the financial system, should encompass decisive actions on the public sector, including the reactivation of the privatization program and the facilitation of private foreign investment. Actions to reduce employment in the public sector, accompanied by a reassessment of the economic role of the state, would be critical to that effort. Financing the short-term costs of a reduction of employment in the public sector would pose an additional challenge, which could be met in part by using part of the proceeds of the privatization effort for that purpose. Facilitating the participation of foreign investors in the privatization process would increase demand for the assets of entities to be privatized and improve the returns to the government.
Directors noted the weaknesses in Jamaica's economic data, especially with regard to the national accounts, and urged the authorities to strengthen the statistical base, including through the use of technical assistance from the IMF and other sources.
Directors encouraged the authorities' intention to monitor closely developments in key economic variables with a view to strengthening policies, as warranted, and to maintain a continued close policy dialogue with the staff.

Abstract: |
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is a common genetic lipid disorder of which the molecular basis still remains to be elucidated. Since the HDL-associated enzyme serum paraoxonase (PON1) is associated with variation in serum lipids and lipoproteins, we determined whether variation in PON1 also contributes to the FCH phenotype. The study population consisted of 32 well-defined families with FCH, including 103 FCH patients and 240 normolipidemic relatives (NLR). In addition to plasma lipids and lipoproteins we determined PON1 activity (arylesterase- and paraoxonase activity) as well as the common genetic variants -107C>T, 55L>M and 192Q>R in the PON1 gene. The arylesterase activity was significantly higher in FCH patients when compared to NLR (P<0.001). In the total population, the PON1 genetic variants associated with the highest arylesterase activity (-107CC and 55LL) also associated with higher levels of total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, triglycerides and VLDL-cholesterol and decreased levels of HDL-cholesterol. In support, the combination of the -107CC with the 55LL genotype associated with a significant increased risk for FCH when compared to the -107TT/55MM genotype (odds ratio 5.0 (95% CI, 1.3-19.1, P=0.02)). In conclusion, in this population of subjects from well-defined families with FCH, PON1 is biochemically and genetically associated with FCH.

So if Megyn is in at 9, what happens to Sean Hannity?
In a developing story,
reported on Thursday that Megyn Kelly at
Fox News Channel
, usually an afternoon anchor who is currently on maternity leave, will return to the network at the 9:00 p.m. slot. Since that is where Sean Hannity's show is currently aired, the question becomes what happens to Hannity? And what other shakeups are in store for Fox?

MONTREAL - A former employee at the Ministry of Transport confirmed Wednesday he had to warn a subordinate about his too-close-for-comfort ties to representatives from engineering firms with which the province did business.
During testimony at the Charbonneau Commission Wednesday, Claude Paquet admitted he shared lunch with representatives of consulting engineering firms, but less often than his subordinate Guy Hamel.
Hamel has already admitted before the commission his boss had told him to "calm down" during a meeting they had in 2003.
Paquet said they had the discussion at a meeting of the minstry's regional directorate, and that Hamel told him he would make sure to keep the meetings businesslike in the future.
Paquet also confessed to having received bottles of wine as a gift from firms with the ministry did business with.
At the time, from 2001 to 2003, it was "common practice," he said.
Paquet said he never felt like the firms "expected compensation from me" in exchange for the gifts.
For the past two weeks, the commission has been looking at how and why the transport department either overlooked obvious price fixing or broke its own rules on how the contracts were awarded.
Wednesday morning, the inquiry also heard about how the construction at Acadie Circle was riddled with rule-breaking.
Rebuilt in 2001, the contract was split between two controversial contractors -- Lino Zambito and Tony Accurso.
Zambito has said costs exceeded the initial estimates by nearly 50 per cent, and now Claude Paquet, an engineer from the Transport Ministry, says that the government broke its own rules when awarding the contract.
The tenders were way above the MTQ's estimates.
Normally, it simply goes back into tenders but instead the contract was awarded to one of Accurso's companies, because initially, it was the lowest bidder.
The ministry simply decided to renegotiate a reduction in price with the company, which is also illegal.
The decision was authorized by the deputy transport minister at the time, Paquet said, who said it would save time.

Thousands of people will get an exclusive look at the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell announced today.
As a thank-you for giving up their time for community work, devoted volunteers could be in line for one of the 2,012 pairs of tickets for the dress rehearsal.
It is one of the rewards of the national 25th Hour campaign which is based on the idea that everyone can all find the extra hour and more to make a difference.
Launching the scheme at the Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, Jowell said: "Millions of people want to be involved in the Olympics when it comes.
"This campaign will give them a chance to do that by pledging their time to get involved in their communities and by doing so having the chance to go see the dress rehearsal of the opening ceremony.
"It's not just for people who like sport either. Whether you love culture, education or the environment, this is a movement everyone can be a part of."
The tickets will be among a range of London 2012-themed awards for "exceptional time givers".
The 25th Hour is separate to London 2012's volunteer programme which seeks to recruit 70,000 people to help the Games run smoothly.
Both schemes want to tap in to the enthusiasm for the Games and build a grassroots network of support.
From today people can go online at http://www.the25thhour.org - to pledge their time to help out in the regions where they live and work.
They will be able go online to find out what work will be available in their area from June.
A host of national sports organisations, charities and voluntary groups are backing the campaign.
More organisations are expected to be recruited in to the 25th Hour campaign in the run-up to London 2012 enabling the website to direct people to would-be opportunities and search by postcode and personal interest.
London 2012 chairman Lord Coe said: "Our vision is to use the power of the Games to inspire lasting change.
"They offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something extraordinary, to inspire everyone to use their passion to help others.
"The 25th Hour will allow all of us to make a contribution and achieve our own personal best and leave a lasting legacy in our communities."
Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, an 11-time Paralympic champion and trustee of v - The National Young Volunteers' Service said: "We're delighted to be supporting the 25th hour campaign, using the power of 2012 to harness the talents, energy and enthusiasm of new generation of young volunteers.
"The 25th Hour will inspire all of us, and especially young people, to make a contribution and achieve our own Personal Best. Together we can achieve something extraordinary if we find a little extra time."
London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "The London 2012 Games bring with them a once in a lifetime opportunity to tap into people's enthusiasm for giving their time.
"Most people don't realise the positive impact one hour can make and the 25th hour campaign will help the many organisations in the capital and across the country that are looking for people to devote their time, energy and skills.
"There is great work in promoting volunteering already under way in London and I am championing at every opportunity the important role volunteers have to play before, during and after the Games".

Cooning is for Everyone.....Didn't you get the Memo?
More on BET....If the above video doesn't get you guys to take this rap imagery seriously, I don't know what will. A few days go Tom Cruise made an illustrious appearance on BET's 106 & Park promoting Mission Impossible 3. Why did he have to dance for the natives?....as if this is all that Harlemites are about. But it gets worse. Ving Rhames proceeded to devour a plate of chicken for most the broadcast. Be thankful I couldn't find that online. One forgets that Harlem was once known for sophisticated entertainment and scholarship. Didn't W.E.B. Dubois publish the Crisis in Harlem? Mr. Dubois would be rolling in his grave if he witnessed this behavior. Let's start writing letters folks!

2003 - We get word that 'On the Downlow' would like to be showcased as part of the Chicago Reeling GLBT Film Festival on November 9, 2003 at 1:30p.m at the Century Landmark Theatre at the I-section of Clark Diversey and Broadway. It will not qualify for any of the awards & not be considered actually as part of the film fest because the deadline for the fest was back in July. But from word of mouth that it was shot in Chicago & after actually seeing the film they wanted to project it on a Sunday afternoon. This is really good news for us because it's even more exposure & also gives us a chance to see how it's taken by a film fest audience. Whoo Hoo!
October 3rd 2003 - We get word from the Chicago rapper's 'Black Reign' (who came to the premiere) that they wish to drop out of our project claiming that they do not want to be associated with a 'film like this'. A shame since they are extremely talented & we bid them luck in the future & let them go their way. The other Chicago rapper's 'The Gamespittaz' didn't even come to the premiere but we felt that it would probably be a safer move to also drop them from the project believing them to feel the same way about the film. Controversy at it's best!
October 7th 2003 - This morning I got to work sending emails to the publishing companies & record labels telling them that we'd want to use their music in our independent film. We were willing to pay music rights & be as legal as possible with the owners. The tunes needed were - 'Jungle Song' by Sonja Dada, 'Crossroads' by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, 'Sugar Sugar' by Baby Bash, 'Buscandote' by the Latin Brothers, 'La Familia' by Kid Frost, 'Weapon' by the Matthew Good Band & 'Mas Allá' by La Lay. We were instantly contacted by the Sonja Dada people & are waiting for a contract to be sent to us. Almost there...But we need two new songs to cover the missing rappers music.
October 9th 2003 - Tadeo Garcia & myself are interviewed by our film's publicist Gilberto Magaña for an article appearing in QV Magazine. Also at the interview were actors Michael Cortez (Angel), Donato Cruz (Reaper) & Carmen Cenko (Isaac's Mom).
October 11th 2003 - I meet with Tadeo in his editing dungeon & we 'tweak' the film in places. We are also pleased to get a hold of actor Maximino Arciniega, who appeared as Angel in our award winning short film 'Broken Warning'. He has been busy in California & just secured a roll in an upcoming series. The real good news is that Max is a musician & allows us to use his music for 'Downlow' (in fact we originally used one of his tunes in 'Broken Warning'). Tadeo has also been in contact with LA Rapper DEADLEE who also is letting us use his music. The two scenes were scored today & with this new music is better than before. Thinking wisely & in order to save money we decided to drop the 'Crossroads' tune in favor of one of Max's which also fit the scene great.
October 14th 2003 - I'm notified that we have secured the right's to the song ''Mas Allá' by La Ley used in the closing credits - Awesome!
October 17th 2003 - We are granted the use of the opening credits tune 'Jungle' by Sonja Dada. Excellent!!!
October 21st 2003 - A dark day indeed as we are informed by the Matthew Good Band that they do not want us to use their song 'Weapon' in our movie. A drastic shot since it was the one song in the film that viewers really enjoyed at the premiere. The rest of the day was cloudy, cold, & sad.
October 22nd 2003 - I am informed by Tadeo that the local Chicago cable station CLTV wants to do a report on us & our film that will be screening at the upcoming film festival. Excellent!! Oh yeah & we search for a replacement song for the film.
October 24th 2003 - Tadeo finds replacement music for our film including Chicago Spanish rock group Zamandoque Tarahum, hip-hop talent C.R.U. Life & California's hip-hop artist DEADLEE.
October 27th 2003 - Tadeo, myself, Tony, Michael & Donato meet up at the Music Box Theatre for our interview for CLTV. Tadeo & I are up first & I choke...I literally choke! "Hamina hamina hamina" I start a sentence & then go blank. Tadeo quickly pick up the interview & I slowly back away. Hopefully I won't be seen at all (please). I don't know what happened? I just blacked out & couldn't think of anything to say. Normally I'm yapping away at how good the film is but not today; Today I can't say a word! It really wasn't a problem because Tadeo (who normally chokes & is somewhat speechless) went on like a full fledged trooper promoting away our film. Next up they talked to Tony, Michael & Donato - All who gave a great interview. Those interested & in the Chicagoland area can check us (well them) out on the Metromix TV Show on CLTV cable (that's the all news station folks) airing on this Thursday the 30th at 5:30pm & 8:30pm, & then again on Friday the 31st at 11:30am. Now I'm going to climb into a deep deep hole & hide.
October 30th 2003 - Spent most of the day again putting the final touches on the film at the ol' editing cave. Also Tadeo frightened the customers of the restaurant when he put that irritatingly goofy 'Halloween 3' tune over the loudspeakers & had it playing continuous for over an hour. Then to our surprise (and those of you who noticed) that interview we did for CLTV wasn't on tonight. What we figured is that they are going to play it next Thursday to coincide with the film festival next week. Have to tune in then! November 9th is the big day!!
November 02nd 2003 - Tadeo is having a monstrous time trying to complete a final transfer of the film for the festival. Seems there is a 'glitch' in the recording process that leaves a one second pause during the viewing of the film (this 'glitch' keeps moving to different parts of the movie & can't be traced). This has haunted us for a few weeks now but we can't figure out what is causing it. Tadeo is spending an 'all-nighter' at the restaurant to try & get it fixed. This is a must since our film needs to be turned into the festival on Wednesday (the 5th) for the film fest. Nothing but worries today. On a side note Tadeo is interviewed about the film for a Latino radio show, the Columbia College Chronicle Newspaper & for the Chicago Reader (via telephone). November 9th is a week away!
November 06th 2003 - CLTV announces that 'On The Downlow' will be screened at the Reeling fest. Luckily I wasn't shown in the interview, unfortunately neither was Michael, Tony or Donato. In fact all seen was Tadeo in a quick 5 second shot saying about one sentence. Ah well.
November 08th 2003 - Well tomorrow is the big day. Our film will be shown in the Chicago Reeling GLBT film Festival. Lately we've been receiving some favorable reviews. The Chicago Sun Times newspaper called or film 'On the Downlow' - " A Shakespearean "Mean Streets," shot around Little Village by Tadeo Garcia", & the Chicago Reader newspaper considered our film 'Highly Recommended' saying - "Tadeo Garcia's impressive low-budget 2002 debut begins somewhat unpromisingly as a standard riff on gang violence, then gains unexpectedly in poignancy, depth, and complexity. Tony Sancho and Michael Cortez are both excellent; Christopher R. Buzek's burnished cinematography makes inventive use of Little Village locations; Garcia excels at using offbeat rhythms to establish a palpable tension." Tomorrow's the big day to see what the public thinks.
Film Festival Notice
On the Down Low
Tadeo Garcia, US
Set in Chicago's Little Village, On the Down Low is a new feature based on local filmmaker Tadeo Garcia's award-winning short Broken Warning. On the Down Low is the explosive story of the relationship between Isaac and Angel, two young Latinos involved in a south side Chicago gang. The decisions these men make and the paths they each take create a trap for them in a community where rules can't be broken and secrets won't be tolerated. With characters that defy stereotyping, and a surprising tenderness, On the Down Low is an unconventional look at life in the hood. 90 min
When: Sunday, November 9th; 1:30 p.m. Where - 3:53 AM

Today, June 3, we celebrate the feast day of Saints Joseph Mkasa, Charles Lwanga and 20 martyrs of Uganda (died 1886). These relatively modern-day saints and martyrs—mostly children—died for their faith with joy, as observed by witnesses of their martyrdom. Their courage and conviction reminds us that unquestioning trust in the Lord and the faith of a child are attributes to aspire to, even in the midst of our "adult" priorities, worries, and preoccupations.
The birth of the Church in Africa was built on the lives of courageous martyrs for the faith, whose death was the "spark" of the flames of Christian love. Missionaries spread the word of God, and often paid with their lives. The task of evangelizing quickly fell to the newly converted, who undertook the preaching of the Gospel with love and zeal. It is to another African from centuries before the deaths of the Ugandan martyrs, Tertullian (160–225), to whom we owe the aphorism "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." For many Ugandan Christians, the seed of their Church is the blood of these 22 young men.
Today, the Catholic Church thrives in Uganda, but this was not always the case. In 1879, a French Catholic missionary group—the Society of Missionaries in Africa (also known locally as "the White Fathers")—reached Uganda, and received permission from then-king Mutesa to live and evangelize in Uganda. Along with this group, King Mutesa authorized a Protestant and Muslim group of missionaries as well, all of whom worked, preached, and taught their faiths. The members and staff of the royal court became highly sought-after converts, and upon Mutesa's successor seizing the throne, many of the royal court had already embraced Christianity. The struggle for power created a violent and dangerous atmosphere for the nation's fledging Christians.
The newly ascended king—King Mwanga (the son of Mutesa, who had ruthlessly deposed his father)—was both violent and paranoid himself. He ruled his court through fear and coercion, and his pages—mostly youth—were under constant threat of his temper and sadistic tendencies. The Christians at Mwanga's court struggled to protect the youth from their ruler, who began looking for opportunities to force them to renounce their faith (due to fears that the Church was gaining too much power, threatening his unstable monarchy).
Upon the martyrdom of the leader of the Christian community—Saint Joseph Mkasa—the instruction and safekeeping of the youth of the royal court fell to Charles Lwanga. Joseph had courageously stood up to the king, condemning his execution of a Protestant missionary. The king, who had previously considered Joseph a friend (after he had saved his life from a poisonous viper with his bare hands), ordered him bound and burnt alive. He was fueled by the advice of his trusted advisors, who repeatedly stated that Joseph's allegiance lay with "another king"—the King God of the Christians. Prior to death, Joseph forgave the king, pleading the case of the children. He stated to the executioner, "A Christian who gives his life for God is not afraid to die. Tell Mwanga, that he has condemned me unjustly, but I forgive him with all my heart." The executioner was so impressed with Mukasa that he beheaded him swiftly before tying him to the stake and burning his body. His powerful witness inspired what happened next.
Charles Lwanga picked up where Joseph had left off, organizing prayer meetings for the youth of the court, and generally keeping them out of the king's hands. This, however, aroused the paranoia and suspicion of Mwanga, who after ruthless questioning of one of the pages, determined that religious instruction was poisoning the minds of the youth and preventing them from acquiescing to his orders. The youth, no more than 13, informed the king of his teacher's name-- Denis Ssebuggwawo—who the king promptly had executed by sticking a spear through his throat.
Religious instruction and prayer was forbidden at the court following that incident, but the Christians—on fire for their faith—were unable to be deterred. When little changed, King Mwanga ordered the royal court sealed-- no one could come or go, except the royal executioners whom he had summoned. He gathered all the attendants in the throne room, dividing them into two groups: Christian and non-Christian. He stated, "Those who do not pray stand by me, those who do pray stand over there." In all 20 young men and boys chose the "Christian" group. When Mwanga asked them if they intended to remain Christian, they gave a joyful affirmation, and were promptly sentenced to death. With death imminent, Charles Lwanga baptized those youth ready for baptism, in preparation for their ascent to heaven.
The 20 boys and young men were ordered on a 37 mile march to the place of execution—a journey which would take them past the home of the White Fathers who greeted them on the road, offering absolution. The missionaries would later remark that the boys were laughing and talking on their way to death, filled with joy at their imminent journey to heaven, and filled with the courage of the Lord. Of primary notice was a 13 year old youth, Kizito (one who had been baptized shortly before by Lwanga), who also drew the attention of the guards. He, and two companions, were killed upon the road. His companions, Andrew Kagwa, a local chief—had converted many to Christianity, and Matthias Murumba, an assistant judge, raising the ire of the counselor in charge of the execution party. When the counselor described what he was going to do with Matthias, he mocked the men, saying, "No doubt his god will rescue him." Matthias answered peacefully, "Yes, God will rescue me. But you will not see how he does it, because he will take my soul and leave you only my body." Matthias was cut up on the road and left to die with Andrew and Kizito -- it took him at least three days to slowly bleed to death from his injuries.
Upon arrival at the place of execution—Namugongo—the now 17 prisoners were locked up for 8 days while a large funeral pyre was constructed. During that time, the martyrs prayed and sang together, relishing in the love of God. On June 3rd, before turning their attention to the main group of prisoners, the executioners put Charles Lwanga to death on a small pyre on the hill above the execution place. He was wrapped in a reed mat, with a slave yoke on his neck, and was forced to arrange his funeral pyre himself. To increase his suffering, the fire was first lit under his feet and legs. These were burnt to charred bones before the flames were allowed to reach the rest of his body. Taunted by the executioner, Charles replied: "You are burning me, but it is as if you are pouring water over my body." He then remained quietly praying. Just before the end, he cried out in a loud voice "Katonda! (My God!)."
Following his death, the remaining youth were tightly wrapped in reed mats, had their feet removed, and were burnt alive in a large funeral pyre. Among those who perished was Mbaga, the son of the chief executioner, who had converted to Christianity and resisted his father's pleas to renounce his faith. The youth died calling on the name of Jesus and proclaiming, "You can burn our bodies, but you cannot harm our souls."
Also among the martyrs was a soldier, converted to Christianity, James Buzabaliawo. When sentenced to death by the king, the brave soldier joyfully stated, "Goodbye, then. I am going to Heaven, and I will pray to God for you." On his way to death, he passed by one of the White Fathers, Father Lourdel, who recorded many of the events leading up to the execution. Upon sensing the sadness of the White Father, James smiled, pointed to heaven, and stated, "Why are you so sad? This is nothing to the joys you have taught us to look forward to."
The twenty-two Roman Catholics martyrs celebrated on June 3 include:
Achilles Kiwanuka
Adolphus Ludigo-Mukasa
Ambrose Kibuuka
Anatoli Kiriggwajjo
Andrew Kaggwa
Antanansio Bazzekuketta
Bruno Sserunkuuma
Charles Lwanga
Denis Ssebuggwawo
Gonzaga Gonza
James Buuzabalyawo
John Maria Muzeeyi
Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe
Luka Baanabakintu
Matia Mulumba
Mbaga Tuzinde
Mukasa Kiriwawanvu
Noa Mawaggali
Ponsiano Ngondwe
Along with these brave men were eleven Anglican and Protestant martyrs. The martyrs at Namugongo were not Mwanga's only victims. Dozens more Christians were killed in the surrounding countryside, and some of those who had taught the faith were singled out for special retribution. Many of their names are lost to history, but their sacrifice for the faith is remembered.
Following these deaths, missionaries working in Uganda were expelled, and forbidden to re-enter the country until King Mwanga's death. However, fueled by the courageous deaths of the martyrs, underground Christianity spread throughout the country, and upon the return of missionaries, an active faith community emerged.
Pope Paul VI spoke of the faith legacy of the Ugandan martyrs in his homily celebrating their canonization:
"The African martyrs add another page to the martyrology – the Church's roll of honor – an occasion both of mourning and of joy. This is a page worthy in every way to be added to the annals of that Africa of earlier which we, living in this era and being men of little faith, never expected to be repeated.
In earlier times there occurred those famous deeds, so moving to the spirit, of the martyrs of Scilli, of Carthage, and of that "white robed army" of Utica commemorated by Saint Augustine and Prudentius; of the martyrs of Egypt so highly praised by Saint John Chrysostom, and of the martyrs of the Vandal persecution. Who would have thought that in our days we should have witnessed events as heroic and glorious?
Who could have predicted to the famous African confessors and martyrs such as Cyprian, Felicity, Perpetua and – the greatest of all – Augustine, that we would one day add names so dear to us as Charles Lwanga and Matthias Mulumba Kalemba and their 20 companions? Nor must we forget those members of the Anglican Church who also died for the name of Christ.
These African martyrs herald the dawn of a new age. If only the mind of man might be directed not toward persecutions and religious conflicts but toward a rebirth of Christianity and civilization!
Africa has been washed by the blood of these latest martyrs, the first of this new age (and, God willing, let them be the last, although such a holocaust is precious indeed). Africa is reborn free and independent.
The infamous crime by which these young men were put to death was so unspeakable and so expressive of the times. It shows us clearly that a new people needs a moral foundation, needs new spiritual customs firmly planted, to be handed down to posterity. Symbolically, this crime also reveals that a simple and rough way of life – enriched by many fine human qualities yet enslaved by its own weakness and corruption – must give way to a more civilized life wherein the higher expressions of the mind and better social conditions prevail."
O God, by whose providence the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church: Grant that we who remember before you the blessed martyrs of Uganda, may, like them, be steadfast in our faith in Jesus Christ, to whom they gave obedience, even unto death, and by their sacrifice brought forth a plentiful harvest; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Why pray the Rosary every day for a year?
Each time the Blessed Virgin has appeared-- whether it be to Saint Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes; to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco at Fatima; or to Mariette Beco at Banneux-- she has asserted the importance, saving grace, and power of praying the Holy Rosary on a daily basis. Based upon her words, the Rosary is penance and conversion for sinners, a pathway to peace, an end to war, and a powerful act of faith in Jesus Christ. Pope Paul VI presented the Rosary as a powerful means to reach Christ "not merely with Mary but indeed, insofar as this is possible to us, in the same way as Mary, who is certainly the one who thought about Him more than anyone else has ever done."
To show us how this is done, perhaps no one has been more eloquent than the great Cardinal Newman, who wrote: "The great power of the Rosary consists in the fact that it translates the Creed into Prayer. Of course, the Creed is already in a certain sense a prayer and a great act of homage towards God, but the Rosary brings us to meditate again on the great truth of His life and death, and brings this truth close to our hearts. Even Christians, although they know God, usually fear rather than love Him. The strength of the Rosary lies in the particular manner in which it considers these mysteries, since all our thinking about Christ is intertwined with the thought of His Mother, in the relations between Mother and Son; the Holy Family is presented to us, the home in which God lived His infinite love."
As Mary said at Fatima, "Jesus wants to use you to make Me known and loved. He wishes to establish the devotion to My Immaculate Heart throughout the world. I promise salvation to whoever embraces it; these souls will be dear to God, like flowers put by Me to adorn his throne."

The Independent Television Commission last March granted Mr Cerrullo's organisation a licence to start its own satellite channel on Astra, The European Family Network. Under the 1990 Broadcasting Act religious organisations may not hold licences, but the ITC exercised the discretionary power it has when it comes to non-domestic satellite services. The licence was issued on the understanding that the evangelist would not show exorcism, claim special healing powers for himself, fund-raise directly, or appear to dissuade people from orthodox healing. After the BBC programme (and having already asked for changes to a Cerrullo broadcast on Superchannel last year), the ITC is bound to study the new channel's output closely. But the larger question is whether this licence should have been issued in the first place?

This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A fact from Uganda Railway appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 8 March 2004. The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know
It seems to me that the article on the Lunatic Express (which was never a term in common use) could well be deleted and the factual information incorporated in this article. I have commented on the Uganda Railway in the talk pages on Nairobi and Great Rift Valley. (It is sometimes difficult to know where to put information based on personal experience. I realise that personal experience is not an authoritative source, which is why I have not amended any article on this.)--MWLittleGuy (talk) 19:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that the article Lunatic Express is unnecessary and should be merged into this article. Julius Sahara (talk) 11:50, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Strong support: Merge them now. Valerius Tygart (talk) 16:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Strange claim[edit]
"The company extended its steamer service with a route across Lake Kyoga and down the Victoria Nile to Pakwach at the head of the Albert Nile."
If the terminology in this statement is checked, it would appear that these paddle-steamers travelled over the Murchison Falls, which seems doubtful.Eregli bob (talk) 12:12, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Microsoft Dynamics |
Redmond, WASH (rushPRnews) 03/24/10 — Leading industry analyst firm and 1To1 Media recognize Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe at the 2010 Gartner and 1to1Media CRM Excellence Awards.
Microsoft Drives Customer Success With Microsoft Dynamics CRM Leading industry analyst firm and 1To1 Media recognize Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe at the 2010 Gartner and 1to1Media CRM Excellence Awards.
Microsoft Corp. today announced that Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe BV (MCFE), a leading forklift manufacturer based in the Netherlands, received the Gartner CRM Excellence Award in the category of Efficiency for its customer relationship management (CRM) project.
Through this awards program, Gartner Inc. and 1to1 Media recognize companies that are doing an exceptional job at bringing together vision, strategy, customer experience, organizational collaboration, process, IT and metrics to create value for the customer and the enterprise. MCFE, a company that manufactures, sells and distributes forklifts and related spare parts, was able to streamline order entry and processing, IT support requests, and dealer communications. This resulted in the company reducing the time for it to customize business applications from 35 to 10 days, saving development costs by 60 percent and improving order processing from five minutes to 90 seconds. "Businesses need to deliver essential line-of-business applications more quickly and at a lower cost," said Brad Wilson, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "We are honored that MCFE is recognized by Gartner and 1to1 Media for its project.
This implementation is just one example of how our customers are unlocking new value from their existing Microsoft investments and delivering business solutions that are easy to design, easy to manage, and, for their users, easy to use." In addition to MCFE, a broad range of companies around the world are using xRM, the flexible application development framework of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, to accelerate the development and deployment of high-impact business applications — whether on the premises or in the cloud via Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Customer successes include the following: • The Arbor Day Foundation, a U.S. nonprofit organization, has designed 15 relationship management applications to organize charitable events, grant management and outreach for fundraising efforts. The foundation estimates that it reduced application development time by 300 percent, enabling more efficient and responsive interaction with partners and sponsors.
• CAPTRUST Financial Advisors, a U.S.-based financial services organization, has used xRM to design more than 20 business applications, including an online fiduciary management tool for its retirement plan sponsors. The company was also able to build a portal for financial advisors twice as fast than with any another development strategy.
• Comag Marketing Group, a U.S.-based marketing firm, has consolidated more than 40 disparate relationship management applications and is planning to consolidate another 80 applications. By standardizing on Microsoft technology, it has drastically reduced the cost of administering all these applications.
• Ensto., a manufacturer in Finland, has designed several applications, including a supplier relationship management and quality relationship management solution. With xRM, Ensto is able to save $138,000 (U.S.) with each solution it implements.
• Melbourne Business School, in Melbourne, Australia, has designed several relationship management applications to manage prospective students, alumni, donors, guest lecturers and other constituents. The school is able to process applications 50 percent faster, for 50 percent less cost.
• The New Zealand Ministry of Economic Development (MED) has developed several relationship management solutions, including a Consumer Affairs Reporting Tool, an Energy Safety Intelligence application and a Grants Information Management System. With the Microsoft Dynamics CRM business management solution already in use, it became clear that it offered a framework that could be extended cost-effectively to develop and deliver other new custom applications at an accelerated pace across other parts of the business.
• The North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety developed alcohol and lottery permit review applications that increased agent productivity by 80 percent and reduced the new application process time from five days to one.
• The Product Release and Security Services (PRSS) team at Microsoft designed product release relationship management solutions that increased product release compliance to 98 percent and accelerated product time to market across the company by up to 94 percent.
• Travel Dynamics International, a leading luxury cruise operator in North America, designed a reservation and booking relationship management system. It has experienced a 400 percent increase in productivity and projects an annual gain in sales volume of 10 percent.
• ValMark Securities Inc., a U.S. financial services firm, developed several custom solutions across several departments, including a policy relationship management solution known internally as the ValMark Back Office Support System (VBOSS).
VBOSS has contributed to an 89 percent improvement in customer satisfaction and increased staff productivity. "We set a time frame of 30 days from start to finish for building and rolling out an xRM application. We comfortably hit that target," said Mike Ashley, IT director, Arbor Day Foundation. "We estimate that it would have taken three months or more to extend our old system in the same way." "Each client comes to us with a unique set of business problems and challenges to solve," said Mark Barrett, managing partner at Ascentium Corp. "With xRM, we're able to create specialized applications in as little as a day as opposed to months. We're able to help our clients achieve their business goals quickly and increase our value as a partner to their business." Examples of how customers are benefiting from using Microsoft Dynamics CRM in new ways demonstrate Microsoft's promise of the Dynamic Business, a vision for helping companies realize their full potential through the strategic use of flexible business applications that remain relevant as their business needs evolve. More information about how customers are saving time and money while driving successful relationships with Microsoft Dynamics CRM through xRM usage can be found at http://crm.dynamics.com.

Blood and Hope | none |
The Dalek Factor was the fifteenth and final Telos Doctor Who novella. This is the second (the first was The Cabinet of Light) to feature an unspecified and unidentifiable Doctor. This is the first long-form Doctor Who novel to feature the Daleks since 1998's PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks. This is author Simon Clark's only contribution to Doctor Who.
Publisher's summary Edit
When a Thal platoon arrive on a hostile planet investigating reports that Dalek artefacts have been detected, they are unprepared for what they find. In an underground room is a stranger, a Professor, or so he claims, with no memory of who he is or why he is there. With death and horror their only companions, the Thals make their way with the Professor into the heart of a crumbling Dalek citadel in search of answers... only to find that the Daleks are the least of the horrors they must face.
Plot Edit
to be added
Characters Edit
References Edit
Daleks Edit
- The Dalek Emperor is referred to as "an Emperor", suggesting that there is more than one.
The Doctor Edit
- The Doctor wears trousers and a white shirt.
- It is implied that the Doctor first arrived on the planet with a companion, who was later shot by the Daleks.
Individuals Edit
- 'Sweet life' is a Thal oath.
Planets Edit
- The unnamed planet is located in the Quadrille.
Notes Edit
- Which particular incarnation of the Doctor is not specified in this novella.
- All three editions of aHistory date this story to circa 3340, as Thal Search and Destroy missions have been underway for eight centuries, and Planet of the Daleks is set in 2540.
- The Limited Deluxe Edition was autographed by Simon Clark, Christopher Fowler and Graham Humphreys. Only 800 copies of the Limited Deluxe Edition were produced.
Continuity Edit
- The Emperor Dalek that appears on the (unnamed) planet matches the description of the Emperor from TV: The Evil of the Daleks.
- The Dalek Factor (could) take place between: AUDIO: Dalek War and AUDIO: Dalek Empire III.
- Though this incarnation of the Doctor is not identified or fully described, the cluster hives' mimicry of his first incarnation and his familiarity with Daleks indicate that it certainly isn't the First Doctor. His use of the title "Professor" suggests a buried memory of Ace, placing this as his seventh incarnation or later. Furthermore, this Doctor is suffering from amnesia, possibly implying it to be the Eighth Doctor as he continually suffered from amnesia.

Inside a Cabinet
The bathroom is the only room in the house where I have wallpaper, this is Laura Ashley and of course , being me, it's flowery. I'm quite lucky my husband dosn't seem to mind, I just get the odd rolling eyes now and then. I try not to get too flowery for his and my sons sake but it creeps in. The strange thing is although I surround myself with flowers everyday, within the house and garden I never wear flowery clothes, I tend to prefer block colours and stripes.
This cabinet has been many shades of white over the years but recently I painted the inside a soft blue/green and then chipped away with the paint scraper to reveal the different layers.
Once a month in Norwich, there's an antique collectors fair at one of the large churches, I love them, you have to sharpen your elbows as they attract a lot of people but I never come away from these events disappointed. This old bottle of hair tonic, still with its contents, was found there I believe it's from around the 1950's.
The flower here is from my garden, its an alpine, I have a bit of a collection of these plants as they do really well in the sandy soil here. I have them dotted around in all the cracks on walls/patio floor. This one is a really nice white Saxifraga.
I use spice jars for my small collections, the're only about 2-3 inches tall and I just pop, my find, in after a walk.
Just simple little things, some white feathers, sea glass and shells.
The crystal handle was found at the same antiques fair as the bottle.
and thats the inside of my cabinet.
I'm linking today with:-

Very beautiful! My mom gifted me with an old box she found in the barn. I'm hoping to use it in my kitchen as shelves to display pint jars of homemade jam and little pretties. I just need to decide whether to leave it in it's weathered state or add a bit of milk paint.
Looking at your post is inspiring! Beautiful!I never thought of storing my crafts inside spice jars. Thanks for giving me that idea.

Overview of Adobe
Adobe Systems specialises in software products for the web and print design professionals, enterprises and service providers. It was founded in December 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, who established the company after leaving Xerox PARC to develop and sell PostScript page description language.
In 1985, Apple Computer licensed PostScript for use in its LaserWriter printers, which helped spark the desktop publishing revolution. Adobe's early, and now firmly established, products were Acrobat and Reader, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
In 2005, Adobe acquired its former competitor, Macromedia, and this bolstered its portfolio with more high-profile products such as Coldfusion, Dreamweaver, Flash and Flex, which it continues to develop under the Adobe brand.
Adobe has enjoyed a long-term relationship with Apple, which at one point owned a fifth of the company, but relations soured recently when Steve Jobs announced that Flash was too "proprietary" for its iPhone and iPad devices.
Adobe's products have also been the target of hackers for more than a decade, and its users face licensing complexities. However, Adobe recently posted record quarterly revenues, and is now building momentum in enterprise business process management, collaboration and online marketing.

If being too gorgeous were a crime, this luminizing powder would turn us all into serial offenders. Ok, maybe that's a little extreme, but can you blame us? This three-in-one highlighter, eyeshadow, and all-over shimmer is the prettiest honey-hued pigment weve ever laid our eyes on. As the pun-tastic name suggests, this versatile luminizer imparts a soft-focus glow wherever we choose to apply it. Light-reflecting silica particles conceal blemishes and fine lines, while the honey color leaves a sheer wash of shimmer. It's our secret to looking great in all settings, from fluorescent cubicles to candlelit cafes.
Just what I needed to pick up my fall look. Never used a highlighter like this before and LOVE it! Took a couple tries figuring out how to best use it but now it's part of my everyday regime. Wish it had the ability to pick up and go on a bit lighter in amount, but otherwise wouldn't change it!
5Having used a product or two from theBalm before, I expected a quality product. I wasn't disappointed by Mary-Lou! This highlighter has a gorgeous, champagne color that is very flattering, even to my pale skin without being overbearing. A little goes a long way with this product, and I will be buying a full-size when my sample is gone!
5Love this highlighter! I used it for a photo shoot on my eyes as a last-minute pick, and it turned out beautiful! My biggest problem with highlighters is having a mirror-finish on my face due to too much shine. This product adds just the right touch of light to my face without going overboard, and it's the perfect shade for my oh-so-pale complexion. Totally getting the full size!

I was at the Big A on Saturday, entering through the grand entrance to the casino this time, standing there wild-eyed while sending a couple of twitters about how astounded I still am about the transformation of the grandstand to Resorts World. And then another one one later on expressing amazement at just how the crowd had grown at that point, around 4:30. It was absolutely packed, from end to end (and that covers a lot of ground, think approximately the entire length of the Big A stretch). There's a sign posted saying that the capacity on the first floor is around 9,000, and I wonder how close they were to that number, even at that point in the afternoon.
Got a response to that last tweet saying: people like slots. Are you seriously surprised by this? To which I replied that I'm not surprised, but still taken aback seeing it so close to home in a place (formerly) as familiar as Aqueduct. Thinking about that further however, I guess there is indeed a certain amount of incredulity - not specifically that Resorts World was crowded then, or at any specific point in time; but - still - just about the whole idea that people do indeed like slots! I don't know if I'll ever fully understand or accept that. Guess that's what the phrase never ceases to amaze is for.
Did spend a little quality time in there, enjoying an afternoon cocktail at the Bar 360. There's actually a very pleasant lounge area behind the bar and facing out onto the racetrack which would be perfect for a few betting windows if Genting wasn't so focused on keeping their customers focused on their tedious task at hand. Also must say that the food and drink prices are extremely reasonable....if not downright cheap in this day and age. Where else can one get a Stella draft for $6.50? Forget other sports venues - $11.75 at Met Life Stadium, $9.50 at the Garden (just for a can) - I don't know if you can find many bars anywhere in the city that would match that price. Even though Teresa insisted on a premium liquor brand, still got change back from a 20 after leaving a tip.
And then, there's the racing side.
This is the Manhattan Terrace room, where they've now taken out the round tables and chairs and replaced them with these desk cubby things. When I wrote recently that I'd hoped that NYRA would at least have, as part of some cursory improvements, replaced and updated some of the seating, these were specifically what I was talking about. I dunno, maybe patrons have expressed fondness for them, because they are prevalent throughout the track. I think they're absolutely hideous though. Besides being extremely space inefficient, the aesthetic is just awful, at least to me. And, as the day goes on, empty cups, discarded food wrappers and abandoned programs and papers accumulate, and it's just downright ugly and depressing. A long ways from the pristine facilities of the casino that's just next door, but seemingly a mile away.
- Dutrow is on fire these days. Three winners from three starters on the day, including Redeemed ($4.90), who took the Discovery, earning a Beyer of 96. That gives him 11 winners from 23 starters at the meeting, for a winning percentage of 48%. The kind that makes people suspicious. Of course, considering that he's fighting a ten-year suspension, from which he received an indefinite stay while he challenges the ban in the court system, one might think that, as one reader noted, he has some proving to do to the nyra by not using the needle anymore. Though how do we know, as the reader continues, that he's not using that "spiked up vaseline?" For all we know, maybe he's really trying to prove that he can still get away with whatever it is he gets away with!

Hey! I don't recall your exact words, but they were along the lines of, "Get the good stuff!"
It was a bit worrying to hear from the bartender, when I asked what the well bourbon was, "I don't know but I can check. It comes from the gun."
In addition to all the other "brave new world"y elements of the casino, add bourbon from a gun. Never heard of that one before. - 12:15 PM
- alan said...
Teresa's account is correct....I was using "artistic license," lol.
They serve bourbon and other alcohol from a "gun" in the bars on the concourses at the Garden. Or at least they used to before the renovation. - 2:20 PM

hey babe is blowing them out of the water and he won't be stopped unless his desk is cleaned out from his barn with all that laffy taffy he has been using on his horse's. Man is he on a mission. You see his BIG smiles he has in the winner's circle. :):):):)

Nice crummy old filthy chair's being still used at the Big A as far as I can see Allen. I heard pigs won't use their toilets. They still have those old old big tv's on the second floor room with more old tv's from the 80's hanging all around. Broken down tables and chairs. What a disgrace for all New Yorker's to be subject to all this.

The horseman and slot players are not on crack, both groups benefit from the new slot parlor.
As for the horse players who subject themselves to 50 year old linoleum floors and pigeon droppings next door at the Big A...you can draw your own conclusions. - 11:39 AM
- Anonymous said...
Looks like the horseplayer got about $40 from the slot money.
- Figless said...
jk, agree, only reason I can comprehend to go to the Big A is to experience the action live and in person, outside, with freinds. If one is going to sit at a desk and watch it on TV then watch it at home or at an OTB, why subject yourself to the commute and conditions?

question... Has anyone here done both pleasure AND barrel racing ? If so , what'd you like and dislike about both sports? Which is your favorite? Posted via Mobile Device |
I have. I really like the technical aspects of WP, and the show ring strategizing. I love the adrenaline of barrels, and making everything come together to get that great run. I firmly believe that doing both has made me a more rounded rider. |
I've done both and I really like both. I can't really compare because I started on two different ends of the spectrum. When I started showing Western Pleasure I had to work and get my horse going as she was not trained right and the people before me just let her plod along. However when I started barrel racing my horse was finished and for the year I competed on her it was a great learning experience. Now my barrel horse was patterened just needs seasoning and my show horse I use now just needs assistance to make sure he isn't four beating. Now that I went way off topic, like I said before I really can't compare them because showing helped me have nice quiet hands and seat but I had to gain the confidence to go fast... I still do both, so I can't tell you which one I love best! |
I agree with the rounded rider thing:) Posted via Mobile Device |
