Lady Antebellum Return to 'American Idol'
Lady Antebellum return to 'American Idol' tonight (May 5) to premiere their new single, 'Just a Kiss,' which they finished up in the studio just last week.
The three have been working hard on their third record, the follow-up to the blockbuster 'Need You Now,' and are thrilled to be debuting the first single from the project on the popular FOX-TV show.
"I don't know if there's a much bigger show these days, and we're honored that they would actually want to have us on again," Lady A's Dave Haywood tells The Boot. "We'd gotten the call a couple of months ago about [the appearance] when they'd laid out the schedule for the finals for 'Idol,' and we were trying to work in the studio to get something ready, and it was kind of a good, safe target for us to shoot for. We tried not to rush any of the music based on any deadlines, but we were fortunate enough to have 'Just a Kiss' ready to be released and performed … I mean, literally last week. We decided to go full force and release it."
Listen to 'Just a Kiss'
"We love the show," Dave continues. "I've really enjoyed it. I think the judges are fantastic this year. I know Hillary has tried out, so she has been a bigger fan and has watched a lot more."
Having sold millions of albums, won numerous awards,headlining their own tours and collaborating with artists outside of the country format, such as Maroon 5, Colbie Caillat and John Legend, to name a few, the trio are still in shock when they get calls to appear on such shows as the 'Ellen DeGeneres Show,' 'Oprah' and of course, 'American Idol.'
"It's a giant opportunity to kind of get the music out there, and all these things, to be asked to do that. It was kind of shocking to us, too," says Charles Kelley. "We're still blown away by all these opportunities that keep coming in, and we still don't feel like we really have any celebrity or any of these things."
Lady Antebellum's appearance on 'American Idol' airs tonight (May 5) at 8:00 PM ET on FOX.
The band's next stop is at this year's Billboard Music Awards, which will air live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas May 22 on ABC. They are up for seven awards, including overall Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album for 'Need You Now' and Top Duo/Group.

Yes, my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I've had two children since.
Not that I'm aware of. I can't help that think because of my iud I've had a few miscarriages because sometimes it will feel like I'm pregnant and my period will be like a week or so late then I get my period with a lot of clots and some cramping. It has happened about 3 times I think other than that my period is very regular
no my condolences though

Good news! I got the timing belt installed and rolled the motor over with not problems and I seem to have compression. I got the thing timed dead on the first time without even having to jump a tooth anywhere. Now I gotta figure out the complicated mess of interwoven bracketry that bolts up to the motor.
I have a new plan of attach with reguards to the AEG manifold. I'm thinking AEG lower and ABA upper with an ABA lower adapter plate !!! I'm trying to keep the stock TB and PVC configuration and it doesn't look like I can modify the AEG upper easily. I think I may be able to just about get away with porting out the ABA upper and lower adapter plate. It is going to be close on the outer 2 runners. I may have to have someone weld some extra material on there to match the ports.

A guest post by David Renton, author of the forthcoming Struck Out: Why Employment Tribunals Fail Workers and What Can be Done and barrister at Garden Court chambers in London.
The Guardian reported on Friday the case of Sarah Streatfeild, a violinist of 25 years' standing with the London Philarmonic Orchestra (LPO), who was suspended after signing an open letter calling on the Proms to cancel a performance by the LPO's Israeli counterpart.
It appears from the reports that the case has been framed in terms of Ms Streatfeild's rights as a humanist, not to suffer discrimination. But it will be interesting to see whether (assuming her case does come to court) Ms Streatfeild goes further and relies in her case on the protection on freedom of expression provided by article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights.
Perhaps surprisingly, the Convention has until now made relatively little dent in employment law. One obvious area of contrast is the policing of terrorism suspects, where in 2004, the House of Lords defied the government in holding that the European Convention outlawed the indefinite detention of foreign nationals in Belmarsh (A and others v Secretary of State for the Home Department).
It is the same picture in family law, where judges relying on the Convention overturned a decades-old convention against cross-examining children who accused adults of physical or sexual harm (Re W). In housing law, meanwhile, the Convention has been used to give tenants protection against eviction, even in cases where legislation seems to have been written with the intention that certain kinds of tenant would have no defence to claims for possession (Manchester v Pinnock).

Simplyink.com stocks the highest quality compatible alternative for the PGI-220 & CLI-221 set of 5 ink cartridges, featuring: 1 pigment black (PGI-220) & 1 each of CLI-221 black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Every cartridge is built with brand new parts and tested for ink quality and weighed to ensure comparable page yields to the genuine brand. The compatible PGI-220 & CLI-221 cartridges come with an electronic ink monitoring chip to track accurate ink levels. Compatible cartridges available replace the original Canon PGI-220 (2945B001) pigment black, CLI-221 (2946B001) black, CLI-221 (2947B001) cyan, CLI-221 (2948B001) magenta & CLI-221 (2949B001) yellow. Simplyink.com extends free shipping on all qualifying orders over $55!
Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard
pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually
measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5
x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three
paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text
and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to
15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each
cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your
page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed
photos will be much less than the amount the number of
pages you would be able to print if you were just printing
standard text documents.

After paying top price for Canon inks, I thought I'd try these replacements, and can honestly say I see very little difference. The colors are just as bright with good saturation. The cartridges fit just the same as the expensive ones, but I still run out of ink just as quickly!:-) I got 2-3 times more ink for less money. Who can complain about that? And the service is excellent. So fast. Plus the website is very easy to navigate. I'm hooked!

Comments about Compatible Canon 2947B001 (CLI221) Cyan Ink Cartridges:
I was asked to review my satisfaction with this product in this particular order. The fact is that I haven't used it yet. I ordered it and two other cartridges to round out my backup reserves for my Canon inkjet printer that requires five different cartridges.I had become exasperated by the high costs of buying replacement cartridges for immediate use or backup. About two years ago I began ordering from SimplyInk because their prices were so much lower.I can discern no difference from the quality of the Canon inks. I have also found that the service that I have received has been top-notch - an easy-to-navigate website, prompt order fulfillment and time in transit.I am happy to have found them and I highly recommend their services.
Quick response and delivery.

This product is on the same quality level as its name brand competition. In the past I had tried an aftermarket clone which resulted in me wasting a good portion of my new ink trying to get a descent test pattern.

I recently received an computer upgrade at work which meant upgrading from XP to Win 7 64 Bit. This caused problems with loading and running PsiWin 2.3 as well as connecting to and transferring files between my Psion Workabout MX and the new computer. After working on this problem for a day and a half, I have a soulution that allows me to load the PsiWin program successfully and allows me to upload and download files to the Workabout. I will post below the procedure I used:
To load PsiWin 2.3 on to a Windows 7 64 bit operating system (this should work for any program that will not load/function in the WIN 7 environment)
Must download and install Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC from (fairly quick and easy):
Once the Win XP Mode and Virtual Machine is set up go to the Start Menu/All Programs/Windows Virtual PC/Windows XP Mode - This will start the XP mode.
Now install PsiWin 2.3 as usual by browsing to and opening the setup file.
YOU WILL NOT YET BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO THE PSION THROUGH THE SERIAL COM PORT YET but you may go ahead and set up your baud rate and select the com port you are going to use by going into properties when the device fails to connect.
Connecting the Psion Workabout to the COM port. Configuring the COM port in the WIN XP Mode Virtual Environment. (This should work for periphreals that connect through a serial port and use a communications program that only works in the WIN XP Mode).
The reason the Psion will not connect is that the com port is not set up to work in the XP Mode Virtual environment. To fix this go to : Start Menu/All Programs/Windows Virtual PC/Windows Virtual PC
This will bring up a dialog box which will have the Windows XP Mode virtual machine listed.
Right Click on it and choose SETTINGS.
Then select the Com port you are using (usually Com1).
The current value is probably set to none CHANGE this by selecting "Physical serial port" on the right side of the dialog box. Click ok and exit out of the dialog boxes.
Transferring files to and from the Psion Workabout with WIN XP Mode.
Activate the XP Mode: Start Menu / All Programs / Windows Virtual PC / Windows XP Mode
Have the Psion on and connected & make sure the Remote Link is set to ON in the Psion with the correct baud rate.
Double click on the "My Psion" icon on the XP desktop. Browse to the file you want to upload or download and copy and paste as you would normally. (THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE INSIDE THE WIN XP MODE). I have found that you CANNOT download files FROM the Psion Workabout directly to a WIN 7 folder. You can however Download it to any XP Mode folder and then copy and paste it from there to a WIN 7 folder by copy/paste or drag/drop. Also I have found that it IS POSSIBLE to copy and paste a file INTO the Workabout from a XP Mode OR WIN 7 Folder (ie I can have the XP Mode running and Psion Workabout connected in PsiWin 2.3, access an Excel File in a WIN 7 environment folder and copy/paste it into the Workabout with PsiWin 2.3 with no problems – but only supported files like xls files not xlsx files of course.
Hope this helps the those of us in the Psion community who still use the older devices like the Workabout. I also use the old XP and LZ organizer models on rare occasions but have not yet tried to use them on the new Win7 64 Bit system.
Hi Richard,
Thank you very much! Like what I said in our tel conversation, this will help a lot
What you didn't mention, however, is that Windows XP Mode will only work in Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate. It will not work in Home Premium edition -- which is by far the most popular version for home users' PCs and laptops, certainly in the UK.
For Home Premium you'll need an alternative virtualization application such as Windows Virtual PC, VMWare or Oracle VirtualBox plus a full version of a 32-bit version of Windows, whether XP, Vista or 7.

rjohnsoy, you typed it perfect.
Although this Time, Day & Age is 2012, I still use my PSION C3 almost every day. Especially the .WRD, .SPR, .AGN and .DBF files.
They all work in my new Toshiba Satellite laptop 64bit, Windows 7 with both XP Modes installed.
Are there really others out there using PSIONs C3 etc.... .
03-09-2012 Friday @ 7:02pm, Chicago, Illinois Time Zone.
and you are so correct. They (programmers) should create a program for the Old School Users.Infact, I don't think they even really think of the Old Schoolers wanting to use their machines with the new.
What is a PSION Workabout?
I use PsiWin & PsiWin 2.3.3 (I notice PsiWin in the post above) ! That's the only way I can translate on the Windows 7 system.
Thanks rjohnsoy!
I have just upgraded to Win 7 Pro 64 bit from XP where I have been connecting my Psion 3c for years. I have used PsiWin 1 on Win 3.x, Win95 and Win98 in the past. These instructions were easy to follow and have probably saved me hours of frustration. One point I would like to respectively add though is that I needed to set the baud rate in the PsiWin settings to 19200 to match the Psion setting (the default is "Maximum Attainable") before the connection succeeded.
My 3c is in almost daily use as well. I like the Money program, it's simple, accurate and above all secure! OK, it's got no flashy colour screens or bells and whistles but who needs these anyway.
Thanks for a great job!
I hope someone is checking in- I've been trying to reconnect my Psion 5mx to sync with Win 7 Professional (desktop) to MS Outlook 2003. I'm using a StarTech serial to USB converter and I had been able to successfully sync for several months. For some reason it stopped and then after struggling for almost 2 years I decided to email Gareth Saunders who referred me to this site. So I downloaded XP Mode and windows Virtual PC and psi win 2.3.3 and from your post, aha! probably the problem has been as you suggest that the Com Port was not set up to work in virtual XP mode. So I'm almost there- but when I go in XP Virtual mode int Start/All Programs- I don't find Windows Virtual PC in the Program menu and couldn't find it in Windows Explorer (all in Win XP Mode). Can anyone advise me what I may be doing wrong or where to go next? I really need to be able to sync with Outlook for my Calendar and Data files. Many Thanks. Ted

Post Mortem on drive-by victim to be carried out today
The State Pathologist is due in Limerick to conduct a Post Mortem on the body of a man who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Garryowen on Sunday.
The victim has been named locally as Mark Moloney, a single man in his 30's and from Garryowen.
The incident is believed to be linked to ongoing criminal activity in the city.
Mark Moloney's body was removed from the scene of the shooting, to the Mid Western Regional Hospital in Dooradoyle late on Saturday night.
He was shot dead at 2.45pm by the passenger of a car that fled in the direction of Tipperary.
Gardai believe a black Toyota Celica that was later found burned out in Drombanna was used in the attack.
Last night they spoke with a number of suspects asking them to account for their movements and say they are following a number of lines of inquiry.

State two reasons why Kino's canoe was so important to him.
1 Answer | Add Yours
One reason that Kino's canoe is so precious to him is because it was handed down to him from his father (and grandfather.) Kino is following in the tradition of his ancestors by making a living as a fisherman. This leads right into the second reason the canoe is such a pivotal object in Kino's life: without the canoe, he has no means by which to make a living. That canoe is his lifeline to catching fish and earning money.

Stir Crazy
Another rainy Sunday afternoon and it's making me stir crazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's not icy but I wanted to hike in the woods today and cold rain isn't any fun.
Is anyone else anxious for good weather? It appears so.
Dianne Machesney sent me this picture from North Park near the Lone Pine ball field and wrote, "Some unknown person has been decorating two tree limb stubs for years now. They change with the seasons and often sport Steeler clothes."
To me this character's saying, "Rain is a hopeful sign of spring."
True, I should try to enjoy the rain. By the end of the week the lows will be 18 degrees.

After a tired, tetchy Wednesday that began with the PM forgetting what seat he was in and ended with a fractious 7.30 interview, Rudd the campaigner bounded back to Queensland.
Rudd's mien improves immeasurably as heads north of the Tweed; he is the anti-Icarus, growing in strength and confidence as he flies closer to the sun. The signs had not been good early, either. Rain was falling in Sydney; the press pack, expecting a trip to Melbourne, was rugged up and subdued after a flat Wednesday.
But when the ABC's Chris Uhlmann broke the news that
A two-hour delay in Sydney – not even RAAF C-17 Globemasters are immune to Sydney's dysfunctional airport – could not dim the news from the Sunshine state.
A Coalition "cheat sheet" of Beattie's greatest hits on Rudd, emailed quickly to journalists following the Prime Minister, could not dim the light of the North. And a trio of angry protesters at the Beenleigh town square, ready and waiting for the pair with suspiciously well-made signs, could not dim it.
Rudd had his man. At the podium the pair, both possessed of king-size egos to match the state they hail from, danced an ungainly tarantella as they took turns leading the press.
What about Mr Beattie's past criticisms of you, Mr Rudd? Smile.
"Peter and I have had the odd stoush in the past, that's life in the Labor Party . . . it's water off a duck's back"
What about your expensive residence, miles away, in inner Brisbane, Mr Beattie?
"Cornubia is one of the important suburbs in Forde. We moved into that suburb this morning. My brother has lived there for 22 years."
Can you name a local school? "I can if you want to go through the exercise. Shailer Park State School . . . St Matthew's Catholic school."
And on they danced, the two men who have done the most to define Queensland Labor politics for the past decade, smiling, flitting from local jobs to global economic challenges and multi-factor productivity.
It was after the dance, after the hundred-watt smiles and the "hail-well-mets", that the import of the calculated parachuting-in of Beattie settled.
This is a potential game-changer for Labor in Queensland.
Beattie will be expected to comfortably win his seat in Forde, despite his protestations of a tough contest. More significantly, Rudd now has a vice-captain in Queensland and a stronger base from which he can spring-board to a country-wide blitz.
With the earnest Trade Minister Craig Emerson stepping down and the former Treasurer Wayne Swan confined to his seat in Lilley – no bad thing anyway – Beattie will lead Labor's campaign in Queensland.
Beattie is not exactly media shy. The contrast with Campbell Newman, arguably Labor's greatest asset, will be hammered home. And Rudd will sally forth, confident the former premier has his back there, to fly further.

Well, looks like I have something to do this weekend.
Driving home last night, I suddenly heard a scraping sound. I pulled over and found that my front lip had fallen off and was dragging on the road. I didn't have a screwdriver to re-attach it then and there, so had to completely remove it.
I think it wasn't helped by the front being so low. It sits about 120mm (4.75") off the ground, and the road outside my house is undergoing repairs, so there is a lot of piles of loose gravel on the bumpy road. I guess the front lip must have taken a bit of a beating acting as a bulldozer over the past week and finally gave up.
One of the perils of owning a car with a low front on New Zealand roads.
Oh well, at least it gives me an excuse to work on the car. :-)

Losing a baby due to cancer
From Julie Coates
I was diagnosed in December 2005 at the age of 40 with a Grade 3 very aggressive triple negative breast cancer.
Initially I found a lump in my breast and was told that it was nothing to worry about as I was breast feeding my son at the time. Some months later a lump appeared under my arm, the lump was tested, and eventually it was discovered that 4 of my lymph nodes were infected with cancer.
At this stage my consultant could not establish the source of the cancer, so I was told that I would have to have tests all over my body to find the primary location. A nurse sat me down and advised me that I had to make sure that I did not get pregnant. The problem was, my partner and I were trying for a baby to join our son Leon, who was 1 years of age at the time I was diagnosed.
At this stage I was very confused and approached a family planning adviser who recommended that I have a pregnancy test. I will never forget the moment that the pregnancy test result showed that I was pregnant. My heart sank and I sobbed. I went to see my oncologist and he looked at me with so much sorrow and told me that my cancer is so aggressive that I needed to start chemotherapy immediately. He made it clear that I would not survive three months if I had the baby. My partner and I eventually made the decision to have a termination. I broke my heart when I was in the room waiting to have my baby Hope taken from me and to this day I cry when I think that I have taken a life for my own.
My cancer was detected in my breast. I received chemotherapy immediately had a mastectomy with a reconstruction then radiotherapy. I finished my treatment in December 2006 and in February 2007, accidentally fell down the stairs at home and caused myself a severe head injury and a blood clot to my brain. More surgery and rest then returned to work in July that same year.
Life can place us all on the edge of despair at times... however... I am lucky, I am alive and will always stay positive. I will always love and adore my lost baby Hope, but I am lucky I have got two daughters: Charlotte aged 20yrs, Alex aged 18yrs and Leon aged 3yrs.
There are many women and men who will not be able to have children because of cancer and my heart goes out to them.
Love to you all

Did homes in ancient Greece have kitchens and bathrooms? If so, why have archaeologists had such troubles finding their remains? What did the concepts of home and house mean to the ancient Greeks? This book offers an illuminating reappraisal of domestic space in classical Greece. Beginning with the premise that we must cease to view the classical Greek house through the lens of contemporary Western notions, Janett Morgan provides a fresh evaluation of what home meant to different communities in the ancient Greek world. By employing textual analysis alongside archaeological scholarship, The Classical Greek House seeks to explain some of the contradictions that previous approaches have left unresolved. Of value to students and academics alike, Morgan's work offers an exciting new perspective on relations between men and women, public and private, and between home and city in the ancient world.

Barclays Considers Auditor Change After a Century With PwCHoward Mustoe
Barclays Plc, the U.K.'s second-largest bank by value, said it will consider tendering its audit contract held for 117 years by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Barclays is considering "how and when a tender process might be implemented, particularly given the transitional provisions suggested by the Financial Reporting Council," it said in its annual report today. "A recommended course of action will be proposed to the board during 2013."
The decision shows a softening of the bank's stance from July 2012 when the bank said in a letter to the U.K.'s Financial Reporting Council that a change of auditor would be "highly disruptive and costly." HSBC Holdings Plc said earlier this week it will tender its audit contract with KPMG LLP.
PwC, the world's largest accounting firm, which has held the contract since 1896, was paid 44 million pounds ($66 million) by Barclays for services including audit and tax consulting last year. It received 54 million pounds in 2011.
Derek Nash, a PwC spokesman in London, declined to immediately comment.
Auditors were criticized for not spotting practices that led to the banking crisis that began in 2007. The Economic Affairs Committee of parliament's upper house in a 2011 report said there were "grave defects in the auditing of banks."
Flint, Cheung
HSBC, Europe's largest bank by assets, said it would accept bids for its external audit contract, held by KPMG since 1991. KPMG, the world's fourth-largest accounting firm by revenue, won the business without a bidding process, the bank said in its annual report this week, and there hasn't been one since. The winner will be appointed in 2015, it said.
The bank paid KPMG $80.5 million in 2012 for services including audit, tax compliance, computer security and help valuing assets. Chairman Douglas Flint and Marvin Cheung, a non-executive director who is a member of the audit committee, have both worked for KPMG, according to the annual report.
Finance Director Chris Lucas joined Barclays in 2007 from PwC. He said last month he will retire as soon as a successor is found.
Barclays said it recommended PwC should be re-appointed as its auditor at its annual meeting due to be held on April 25 in London for the coming year.

Guinea's Laptop Election Monitors Now Crisis-Mapping
The New York based group that monitored Guinea's historic election via text messages from voters is now monitoring outbreaks of violence between members of the West African nation's opposing parties. On Monday, the Electoral Commission announced a winner in the close Presidential run-off, and members of the losing party are dissatisfied with the count.
Before the polls closed on November 7, members of the New York-based NGO Alliance Guinea used a crowd-sourcing program that allowed anyone with a cell phone to send a text message if he or she witnessed a voting irregularity. Then volunteers all over the world would map the allegations on a public Web site. But with the announcement that longtime opposition leader Alpha Conde received more than 52 percent of votes, violence has broken out and the international members of Alliance Guinea have been mapping scores of SOS messages.
On the phone from her home in New York City, co-founder Jennifer Swift-Morgan said some are as bad as, "Come quick, my family is being attacked." Or, "It's hell here."
The losing candidate, Cellou Dalein Diallo, is accusing Guinea's Electoral Commission of including the results of two voting districts in which he alleges there was fraud. Excluding those two districts could change the outcome of the run-off election and make Diallo the winner.
In Guinea, the Supreme Court has to confirm the election's outcome, and it is also charged with investigating allegations of fraud if it sees fit. On Monday evening, Diallo urged supporters to remain calm, saying he would prove to the court that there were massive irregularities.
Swift-Morgan of Alliance Guinea said rioting in the capital city of Conakry on Monday prevented members of Alliance Guinea's rapid response team from getting to a place where they could check the online text messages and try to address the allegations they contain. "It's been a sad day," she said, adding that Alliance Guinea's volunteers went from promoting citizen engagement and democracy to crisis mapping.
The main goal of Alliance Guinea's election-monitoring Web site now, Swift-Morgan said, "is to make sure the world knows this crisis has broken out."
Reported instances of violence are mapped here.

About Me
I like to go running in the mountains, or do backcountry skiing in winter, Im always up for a ride on my motorcycle and love traveling on it. Other than that, I consider myself a nomad.
How do the people live around the world ? I'm trying to get the most objective and open-minded vision about this one. At the moment too many things don't make sense : wars, political trash, no respect for the environment. So let's start communicating between cultures, that is the first step and CS is a great tool for this.
I think most people aren't actually living, they are just part of a capitalist system (let's call it theater) where everybody try's to be more than others. Live for working ? No thanks, Too much work and no time for spending money.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Because of it's roots.

Hmm, been looking for a solution. This actually is cheaper than buying the GM spare and converting it. I'll give it a go
1) can people confirm this fits in the spare tire well with the subwoofer in the wagon?
2) And does it fit proper? Someone posted it was missing adapter components.
Also any pictures of the spare itself?

Goodbye Andorra. Hello SNOW!!!!
... said "you can't come in here, it's out of bounds" ( in French ) oh ok, we will just walk round the outside then. It is bitterly cold and not helped by a strongish breeze and the country side is in transition from autumn to winter and can be described as dull.

The sky's are looking quite dark from the Spanish side and we have certainly had the best of our 3 days, so it's time to head back, as it happens just in time as the few spots become more frequent and 20 mins later the mountains have nearly disappeared, but it will settle the dust. Oh, and we got the washing washed and dried, in case you wondered ...

Decided to walk into the old town this morning and took Tess with us. She's getting used to walking on a lead now with lots of people, still not sure about traffic and bridges, but she walks to heel and just needs a little reassurance every so often. So different from the cliff top walks she's been used to, especially today, as it's very busy here. Very different for us too, no medieval town and little roads and alleys. It's makes a ...

It was a very nice tunnel, but for several Km's we were the only ones in it mmmmm had we blundered, no except we had to pay a modest toll (the French apparently are a bit tight) and the road was not so twisty, so all said a good decision. What struck us is the amount of new apartments being built, their are dozens of very large blocks in the process of being completed as well new road configurations.

After our bucolic interlude, we found our way back to the highway through the narrow back lanes of Seu d'Argell and on towards Sort and the higher part of the Catalan Pyrenees.


text: Remember the name: Apichatpong Weerasethakul. As the nascent Thai cinema struggles to establish an identity on the world stage, Weerasethakul has emerged as its most promising young star, a playful and wildly idiosyncratic director who seems to be discovering his style as he goes. His two features, 2000's Mysterious Object At Noon and 2002's Blissfully Yours, take such a relaxed approach to formal experimentation that they feel like poetic reveries, inviting viewers to spend time in a world that isn't chiseled by narrative. Though Mysterious Object doesn't match the gorgeous and strangely erotic rhythms of the later film–which recently and deservedly topped the Village Voice poll for Best Undistributed Film–it's still exciting to see the embryonic traces of a potentially major artist. Only in his early 30s, Weerasethakul was educated at the School Of The Art Institute in Chicago, where he was inspired by the surrealist art and writing game "Exquisite Corpse," in which contributors take turns adding on to a piece with an awareness of only what's come immediately before their turn. Part fiction film, part documentary travelogue, Mysterious Object uses the concept as a jumping-off point to test the boundaries of storytelling and see how it mingles with Thai folkloric traditions, particularly the "mor lam" song-story troupes in remote rural areas. The basic premise, such as it goes, is built around the evolving relationship between a disabled boy and his young female teacher, with story elements that were dictated to Weerasethakul as he traveled the country, and later re-enacted by non-professional actors. The "object" of the title rolls out of the teacher's skirt after she loses consciousness; it turns into another boy who may or may not be an alien, which leads to the appearance of an identical teacher, who may or may not be the real thing. And so on, until the original thread of the story drifts off into ever more ridiculous non sequiturs, ending in a series of hilarious children's fantasies that introduce tigers, sword-fights, and other silly embellishments. In an eight-minute interview included on the DVD, Weerasethakul talks about the film as a three-year work-in-progress that often reflects the mood and interest of himself and the crew, regardless of their original intent. Sometimes, he confesses, he'd get bored with working on the story, so he occasionally digresses into more loosely impressionistic snapshots of provincial life. All of this free association falls under the wide umbrella of "experimental" cinema, meaning that the often flagging pace and incoherent stretches are balanced by sublime moments of inspiration. Closing on the last piece of footage before Weerasethakul's camera broke, Mysterious Object fiddles happily with the possibilities, showing the promise of a precocious talent that hasn't yet fully formed.

Painting wood bed frame that has been stained
We'd like to paint a wooden bed frame. The wood was originally stained, although most of the shine (polyurethane?) appears to have come off.
Any advice on how to best paint the bed frame? Here's what i was planning, but want to check-in with the painting experts here:
The platform bed frame is going to be for my 2-year old son's bedroom, so i want to make sure I'm not planning anything unsafe either. While we won't encourage biting the furniture, boys will be boys.....
ok so it sounds like you have a handle on it. first wash ,lightly sand fine paper .sand every inch of it you not going to have to go to bare wood .what your are doing is deglossing and giving the primer something to grip on to .their are water base bonding primers , but for me i would go with zinsser oil base cover stain. then very lightly sand primer i mean very light .do not remove primer .dust it off then 2 coat sherwin williams pro classic waterborne alkyd. flollow all dry times .thats my story and im sticking to it .
Sand it as you mentioned and then apply a bonding primer. I would use Sherwin Williams adhesion primer. Then I would apply 2 coats of an enamel such as Sherwin Williams Pro Classic alkyd enamel.
Krylon Fusion. Sand and paint - no priming necessary. If desired, a layer of clear Fusion on top for protection and a more satin (or gloss, depending on how much you choose to apply) look.
If you're willing to go all out and prime and apply an enamel paint as mentioned in the previous posts, you have nothing to lose by picking up a can of Fusion and trying that first. Worst case scenario, it won't work, but it has worked flawlessly for every wood (along with plastic and metal) application I have used it for - bare wood, previously painted wood, stained wood. Go to the Krylon website and you'll see that there are a lot of available colors. And as you said, no brush strokes.
The only caveat would be whether or not it's the safest option for use around a child. I'm not going to guess whether it's any more or less appropriate. All I know is that ingesting any type of paint is not good....

Computer Science and Information Systems (MPhil)
page on the Birkbeck, University of London website for more details!
'The course was very challenging, but working hard and keeping up with the fantastic teachers and researchers at Birkbeck gave me the breadth and depth of knowledge, practical skill and confidence to hit the ground running as a software engineer in an intensely competitive field.'I started as a contractor at AT&T working on what turned out to be one of two winning bids for a multi-billion dollar government contract managing phone services and quickly moved on to work on designs and prototypes for a j2ee electronic delivery verification application at the US Postal Service - one of the world's largest IT/web service infrastructures.'Later working on image processing and secure content delivery for a small startup in internet magazine publishing, I built on what I'd learned about the java api's, learning about the pdf manipulation and cryptography, and built on what I'd learned about C/C> at Birkbeck by working on open-gl based image manipulation software. I also took part in building out and supporting the hardware infrastructure, utilising what I had learned about operating systems and scripting to add dedicated image processing servers to the data-centre in this very hands on role.'Following this I moved on to work on the Playstation Network at Sony and built on my java skills - in my first year I successfully architected, developed and oversaw the deployment of a highly scalable and reliable service-oriented java ee software system serving millions globally in a strategically key area and then moved on to help re-write the legacy customer account management and registration system there.'I am now bringing to bear what I learned about databases working with and developing hugely data intensive Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) applications and solutions in Cancer Translational Informatics at a major medical teaching school - using IT to deliver personalised treatments tailored to the genetic profile of the cancer disease as manifested in the individual.'Birkbeck laid strong foundations for a professional career in the industry and the challenges it presents. Doing the course was one of the best decisions I've made and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make it in the IT industry.'
'Birkbeck has a very good reputation; it's part of the University of London, has an international reputation, and is very well known. I had friends and colleagues who had attended Birkbeck and told me that the student experience was a good one.'My first degree was a BSc Astrophysics from about 25 years ago, but I felt that I could do more academically and so I enrolled on the MSc Computer Science at Birkbeck.'I already had skills and knowledge in my area of study, but I wanted a formal qualification to show to employers. I felt as though I was getting on in life and that I wanted to learn new things and I wanted the personal challenge of studying for a formal qualification.'It was absolutely essential for me that I was able to study for the degree part-time; I needed to work to be able to pay the mortgage and support my family. Although the degree was a big part of my life, I didn't want to give up work and my career. To be able to study at a College of the University of London which was fully geared up to working with part-time students was very important. I never had a sense at Birkbeck that I was an 'add-on' as a part-time student.'One of the things I came to enjoy most about the degree was the fact that it required hard study, it provided structure and goals that you had to reach, and you had to set yourself targets. It was a bigger challenge than I thought it would be but that made it more interesting. I was exploring open questions in research that had been unanswered for 20-30 years. 'I gained more from my time at Birkbeck than I initially thought I would. I knew I would get a formal qualification which would look good on my CV and impress employers, but I actually gained an understanding that I can do more, that there are things I can learn, new challenges I can face in life, and gained confidence from tackling important scientific questions and making a contribution. I got a lot more out of it than just a formal qualification.
We are pleased to announce that, for October 2015 entry, Birkbeck has a limited number of new £10,000 postgraduate scholarships. These scholarships are for students progressing from a full-time undergraduate degree to a part-time Master's degree starting in 2015/16.

Bohnchang Koo
Bohnchang Koo: Contemporary Korean Photography
On view November 6, 2002 to February 18, 2003
Located in the: Special Exhibition Galleries
The first retrospective mounted by an American museum of the work of Bohnchang Koo opened to the public on November 6 at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. The exhibition featured 22 photographs, representing a broad spectrum of the Korean photographer's work, including images from two major series "White" and "In the Beginning."
Among the photographs on display is a series of pictures entitled "In the Beginning" that are about physical conflict and the frustration of things gained and things postponed. This conflict is set in the landscape of modern Korea where Korean artists are trying to discover a particular and exact Korean artistic persona. Koo says of his photography: "For me the most exciting adventure I can think of is not flinging a camera over my shoulder and heading off to some unexplored place. For me the thing of real value is looking for what is inside of me."
Koo, one of the premier Korean photographers working today, was born into a prominent family in 1953. He received a B.A. in Business Administration from Yonsei University in Seoul and began his adult life by working in an office. Dissatisfaction with his career caused him to move to Germany in 1980, where he studied design and photography. In 1985, Koo returned to Korea, and during the next fifteen years exhibited his work in Korea, Japan, Germany, Denmark, and the United States. At present, his work is in collections in Australia, Germany, Iceland, Japan, Korea, and the United States. He has been professor of photography at the Kaywon School of Art and Design in Seoul, Korea since 1999.

TransUnion is an American company that provides credit information and information management services to approximately 45,000 businesses and approximately 500 million consumers worldwide in 33 countries.[2] It is also the third-largest credit bureau in the United States. Like major competitors Equifax and Experian, TransUnion markets credit reports directly to consumers. The company is based in Chicago, Illinois, and its revenue in 2014 was US$1.3 billion.[3]
TransUnion was originally formed in 1968 as a holding company for the railroad leasing organization, Union Tank Car Company. The following year, it acquired the Credit Bureau of Cook County, which possessed and maintained 3.6 million card files.[2] In 1981, a Chicago-based holding company The Marmon Group acquired TransUnion for approximately $688 million.[4][5] Almost thirty years later, in 2010, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and Advent International acquired it from Madison Dearborn Partners[6] In 2014, TransUnion acquired Hank Asher's data company TLO.[7] On June 25, 2015, TransUnion became a publicly traded company for the first time, trading under the symbol TRU.
TransUnion has evolved its business over the years to offer products and services for both businesses and consumers. For businesses, TransUnion has evolved its traditional credit score offering to include trended data that helps predict consumer repayment and debt behavior. This product, referred to as CreditVision, launched in Oct. 2013.[8]
Its SmartMove™ service facilitates credit and background checks for consumers who may be serving in a landlord capacity.[9]
In September 2013, the company acquired eScan Data Systems of Austin to provide post-service eligibility determination support to hospitals and healthcare systems. The technology was integrated into TransUnion's ClearIQ platform that tracks patients demographic and insurance related information to support benefit verification.[10]
In November 2013, TransUnion acquired TLO LLC, a company that leverages data in support of its investigative and risk management tools. Its TLOxp technology aggregates data sets and using a proprietary algorithm to uncover relationships between data that were not possible before.[11]
In 2014, a TransUnion analysis found that reporting rental payment information to credit bureaus can positively affect credit scores. To benefit consumers, they initiated a service called ResidentCredit, making it easy for property owners to report data about their tenants to TransUnion on a monthly basis. These reports include the amount each tenant pays, the timeliness of their last payment, and any remaining balance the tenant currently owes. As a result, companies have started reporting rent payment information to TransUnion, including YapStone, Inc., Pangea Real Estate, and RentReporters.
As part of its fraud protection products, it also offers business a tool called DecisionEdge that aggregates the data needed to prevent fraud through a system that customizes the information needed to finalize a transaction.[12]
For consumers, TransUnion offers credit monitoring and identity theft protection tools. The company's app offers a function called CreditLock that allows an individual to unlock and lock their credit to help protect against fraudulent activity.
Legal and regulatory issues[edit]
In 2003, Judy Thomas of Klamath Falls, Oregon, was awarded $5.3 million in a successful lawsuit against TransUnion. The award was made on the grounds that it took her six years to get TransUnion to remove incorrect information in her credit report.[13]
In 2006, after spending two years trying to correct erroneous credit information that resulted from being a victim of identity theft, a fraud victim named Sloan filed suit against all three of the USA's largest credit agencies. TransUnion and Experian settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. In Sloan v. Equifax, a jury awarded Sloan $351,000. "She wrote letters. She called them. They saw the problem. They just didn't fix it," said attorney A. Hugo Blankingship III of Blankingship & Associates in Alexandria, Virginia.[14]
TransUnion has also been criticized for concealing charges. Many users complained of not being aware of a $17.95/month charge for holding a TransUnion account.[15]
In March 2015, following a settlement with the New York Attorney General, TransUnion, along with other credit reporting companies, Experian and Equifax, agreed to help consumers with errors and red flags on credit reports. Under the new settlement, credit-reporting firms are required to use trained employees to respond when a consumer flags a mistake on their file. These employees are responsible for communicating with the lender and resolving the dispute.[16]

THERE was a packed congregation as an unusually shaped church celebrated its 40th birthday.
Civic dignitaries were in the packed congregation at St John's Church, Rhosnesni, on Sunday.
The service marked the 40th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone for the church on Borras Road.
The Bishop of St Asaph, the Rt Rev Gregory Cameron, took part in the service and told the congregation the church is unique in the Diocese in St Asaph as it is a round shape.
He said: "It is the only church that has such a dynamic feel, even though there are other modern churches in the Diocese.
"But what really matters about this church is not the unusual feature of the architecture, what really matters in this church is the quality of the congregation."
Dignitaries attending included Wrexham MP Ian Lucas and AM Lesley Griffiths, and the mayor and mayoress of Wrexham, Cllr I David Bithell and wife Virginia.
Also in attendance were many youngsters and former church members who had been present when the foundation stone was laid on July 1, 1973.
About 40 balloons were released as part of the celebrations, followed by lunch in the church hall.
The Rev Sarah Errington, vicar for the past three years, led the service.
She said: "It was a nice occasion and it gave us an opportunity to greet people from the local community. It was good to have the Bishop there and to celebrate. This was an anniversary people wanted to mark."
The church was opened at Easter 1974. Previously congregation members attended services at the Mission Church on the corner of Dean Road and Rhosnesni Lane.

FF Ernestine In-Use: Venco Liquorice Packaging
FF Ernestine has come over all sweet in its latest 'In-Use' case as the chosen font for Venco liquorice packaging. Available in several different flavours and styles including sweet, salty, salmiak, soft or tough, these Dutch liquorice treats are perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth!
FF Ernestine was born from the search for a versatile monolinear text typeface whose design could encompass seemingly opposite feelings. Its designer Nina Stössinger wanted to develop a solution that would feel warm, but also serious; slightly feminine, but not too swirly-girly – charming and sturdy at the same time.

As long as Milla Jovovich keeps hitting the pool and hot tub topless, the telescopic lenses of our vastly underpaid field agents will continue to try and catch her Ukranian mini-melons, because, dammit, that's what we do here at Egotastic! We can't just start manufacturing cheese here now, can we? Oh, but that we could.
Milla and her husband continued their obviously not-so-private Mexican getaway vacation in wet and topless style, and, thankfully, within 300 feet of the nearest brush line. We do hope that Milla and her man are getting some uninterrupted time to buy local trinkets and knock boots and do all the things I ever dreamed of doing with a supermodel on vacation in Mexico (pretty much, just those two things actually, minus the trinket shopping, natch). Enjoy.

Auto industry bailout pulls Kokomo back from brink
There are 39 comments on the The Plain Dealer story from Nov 22, 2010, titled Auto industry bailout pulls Kokomo back from brink. In it, The Plain Dealer reports that:
Jerry Price remembers the eerie silence less than two years ago when he walked through one of the transmission plants that long provided the economic lifeblood of this town steeped in auto industry history.

This is BS - Kokomo, Indiana is home to the worlds finest transmission builders, period.
THe bailout did not save the men and women of Kokomo's jobs, it saved the jobs of the incompetent management / ownership.
Fact, when Mercedes wanted to build a new transmission plant in the US they came to Kokomo, why ? The finest transmission builders in the world reside there, period.
Dont for a minute think this talent would be sitting on the bench, they would be working for a competent owner, probably a Roger Penske type.
Articles like this make the good people of Kokomo look like third world welfare whores dependent on government, which they are not !!!!
If anything the bailout helped Tipton, who was screwed over royally by Getrag.

Ford did Not take the Bailout and came through it better off than both.

sorta like not wanting to admit the some surge in iraq works.
Meanwhile, good to know GM is back on top and have already paid back a third of the loan.
Has Goldman Sachs given back any of the TARP funding Bush gave them with NO OVERSIGHT.
Oh wait...Bush and repubs didn't require payback to the taxpayer.

You must hate the good news. lol
GM has annouced public offering. Profitability for the first time in three years, with first quarter earnings of $865msomething of a reversal from the $6 billion it lost in the same period last year.
"As of today, GM has repaid in full and interest," said GM CEO Ed Whitacre to a crowd assembled on floor of a GM plant in Kansas City, Kan.
How much has GoldMan Sachs paid back.....from that no oversight gift Bush and you repubs gave to Wall Street cronies and thieves.
Zero....Zilch....Nill. Nada...Not a dime...and we'll never see a penny of that money again. But they got nice bonuses at Goldmans.

Yeah, the Rethuglicans bitched over a paltry 50 billion in LOAN GUARANTEES, not bailouts for the auto industry to save 1.4 million MIDDLE CLASS jobs, but have nothign but praise for the UNPAID BACK 730 BILLION Wall Street received.
Typical fascist bullshit, hating the middle class, working people and job creators.
The GM IPO was the LARGEST IN US HISTORY, and the early payoff for the taxpayer is historical in it's size and scale.
Still waiting for Goldmine Sachs to pay us back, and, excuse me, but when are the fascist run banks GOING TO BE FORCED INTO LENDING SOME OF THAT MONEY?
Hating the black man in office has many incarnations- PRICELESS.
#7 Nov 22, 2010
We did not save jobs....we bailed out the failed owners and mangers.
The productive people of Kokomo did not need a bailout, they earn their money every day.
What was saved was the bad owners, bad managers.
Do you suggest these men and women are incompetent to the point they need charity to survive......like the owners and managers ?

Industry that is critical to our national security should, and WILL be preserved at all costs, so I'd suggest getting used to it.
Was the auto industry bloated, out of touch, sure, to a degree, no one on my end is blaming the workers, though.
Republican policies since Reagan have worked steadily to union bust, drive down wages to Indonesian levels, refuse slapping tarrifs on incoming foreign goods- the policy has been to allow offshoring jobs, money and talent for three decades now.
Why should 1.4 million automotive/supplier jobs be sacrificed because of Republican policy? There was only so much the executives could do domestically. Their biggest problem was investing in offshoring jobs and unionbusting on their own.
Now they know better, and we have a crucial industry preserved, and is paying back the taxpayer's investment with interest.
Now can we ask Wall Street for it's money back, please? And force giant "too big to fail" banks to lend money?
#9 Nov 22, 2010
So if Roger Penske was to own GM he would bust the union ? THats not what happened to Detroit Diesel.
What we did was prevent a bankruptcy, at which time would have replaced bad owners with good ones. What we did was prop up failures, and that we will pay for decades to come.
Why our you so afraid of the law, bankruptcy law ?
What enumerated power in our Constitution gives the federal government to bailout anybody, let alone failures in the auto industry ? Where did Bush / Obama get the Constitutional authority, which enumerated power ?
#10 Nov 22, 2010
Also in this bailout was the forced depreciation of bonds held by teachers, firefighters and police of the State Of Indiana. THese pensions bought secure bonds that paid less but was supposed to be safe.
Your UAW bought equities, got burnt being greedy and was bailed out dollar for dollar at the expense of the public workers of our State.
What justification do you offer for this ?

GM borrowed nearly $100 Billion and they've only returned $24 Billion once the US sells that stock. Sorry idiot but they're $76 Billion in the Hole still.
Ford didn't need the Bail Out.
To local boys point, your idea of success is keeping Bad Management in place with tax payer money. That's really stupid.
And Obama's hired so many Goldman peeps that he's practically run by Goldman Sachs. I do find it interesting that Goldman Paid there loan back but made a killing on the IPO too. Your corrupt government is nothing to applaud my friend. Seek facts for a change.

Bankruptcy would mean liquidation, period.
AND offshoring those jobs. If you hate American workers that much, maybe you should lobby for the communist Chinese like most Republican policy makers do.
The action saved jobs that would have been eliminated, period.
China, Europe and Japan all provide massive subsidies to keep their corporations profitable in the form of socialized medicine, pension plans, infrastructure improvements, why was Toyota and Nissan so successful?
Their costs of doing business was supplanted by government intervention. Nothing wrong with us doing it once every 60 years or so.
You really need to realize putting your faith in American corporations to do the right thing is a fatal mistake.

The best beer towns in the US
Asheville, North Carolina
History: 5
Breweries: 7
Bars: 7
Events: 9
Yes, Asheville. It's relatively new to the beer scene, but with 11 breweries yielding the highest per-capita total in the country, it's already building a global rep. A day trip to Asheville offers a chance to try roughly 50 local beers, almost all of which can be tasted at The Thirsty Monk, a must-see on any Ashevillian beer pilgrimage.
But it's less the number of breweries or bars here than it is the culture that earns Asheville its cred. There is serious pride in the local craft, and its small-town appeal means all you have to do is roll over and you'll find yourself in one of the city's renowned breweries, like Wedge, Green Man and Wicked Weed.
The city also pumps beer into mustards, shampoos, ice creams, cakes, dog biscuits, and soaps. And with at least five major beer events, Asheville keeps the party going all year round with its own Oktoberfest, Beer Week and Winter Warmer, Best Firkin, Beer City and Brewgrass Festivals.
Top Draws: Asheville Shiva IPA, French Broad Ryehopper.

Pakistan 249 all out (Azhar Ali 78, Misbah-ul-Haq 53; Tendai Chatara 3-64, Tinashe Panyangara 3-71, Shingirai Masakadza 2-40, Prosper Utseya 2-55)
Zimbabwe 281 for 7 (Malcolm Waller 70, Sikandar Raza Butt 60; Saeed Ajmal 4-71, Junaid Khan 2-65)
Zimbabwe lead by 32 runs.
Zimbabwe will be hoping to add to their overnight first innings lead of 32 runs, when play resumes on the third day of the first Zong Presents Haier Cup Test match against Pakistan.
At the end of the day's play at Harare Sports Club on Wednesday, Zimbabwe were 281 for seven in their first innings, in replay to Pakistan's 249 all out. The bedrock of the innings was the fourth-wicket partnership between Malcolm Waller and debutant Sikandar Raza Butt which yielded 127 runs for the hosts.
Zimbabwe welcomed the stand after their innings had stumbled on 68. After losing in the ninth over the returning Tinotenda Mawoyo (13), turning out in his first match since the groin injury during the West Indies tour in March, Zimbabwe had their two most experienced batsmen at the crease, in opener Vusimuzi Sibanda and number three Hamilton Masakadza.
They seemed to be working their way towards a solid platform for the Zimbabwe response until the last ball of the 27th over when Junaid Khan's pace forced Sibanda (31) to nick to wicket-keeper Adnan Akmal. Pace changed to spin with the next ball, and still the same result: Masakadza bowled by Saeed Ajmal for 19 runs.
And with just two balls, Zimbabwe had moved from 25 to one to 68 for two to 68 for three. And this when the usually reliable Brendan Taylor was not waiting to get in but away in a maternity ward, waiting for son Mason to get out!
However, Waller and Raza Butt went a long way to lessen the impact of the captain's absence.
Waller top-scored with 70 runs made from 100 balls, 14 of them fours, before he was caught by Mohammad Hafeez off the bowling of Ajmal. Waller's half-century was his third in seven Test matches.
Playing against his country of birth, Raza Butt did not show nerves in his first ever Test match for Zimbabwe. He recorded his first Test half-century but could only add 10 more runs before he drove another Ajmal delivery to Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq.
There was hope that number six Elton Chigumbura would find a partner to bat through to the end of the day's play but wicket-keeper Richmond Mutumbami perished leg before wicket to Ajmal after a run-a-ball 13, then a promising partnership with Prosper Utseya ended when he was bowled by Rahat Ali for 16.
Ajmal was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers, finishing with figures of four for 77 in 26 overs. Khan had two for 61 in 20 overs, six of them maiden.
Zimbabwe will resume batting on Thursday morning with Chigumbura on 40 and Shingirai Masakadza two.

Boy, Anna Paquin do seem to enjoy being naked around these vampire hunks; I can't even count how many episodes of True Blood where she went topless. This is why I'm a sucker for this show. I hope there will be more Anna Paquin season-long breast exposures coming up!
