X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
It is a shell of its predecessors, a technical exercise that is utterly devoid of substance.
This is interesting stuff. So why does The Last Stand feel driven to dumb itself down, as if embarrassed by its own ideas?
As might be expected, The Last Stand pretty much looks and plays like the first two X-Men films, though perhaps with more noise and babe action and a little less glum.
While the movie takes itself seriously, not to say solemnly, it's really an occasion for funny, frightening metamorphoses and spectacular effects.
X-Men: The Last Stand expands on the themes of discrimination and alienation explored in the first two films, and still retains the franchise's signature kick-butt action features.
[Director] Ratner makes a hash of the story and characters his predecessor brought to such complex, sympathetic life, delivering a pumped-up exercise in mayhem, carnage and blunt-force trauma.
The battle sequences, always the least exciting, most obligatory feature of the first two movies, seem to have something at stake -- namely the lives of the characters. My heart goes out to heroes who believe a summer movie is worth dying for.
... thanks to lowered expectations ... and in a season of economically disastrous disaster movies, the mere fact that this Memorial Day juggernaut is not a catastrophe should spell good news for a depressed industry.
Taking over from the more cerebral Bryan Singer, Ratner is unable to maintain the emotional intensity that has made this series so deeply epic. But he sure knows how to put on a show.
X-Men: The Last Stand has shifted the shape of the franchise from pretty good, if uninspired, to terrifically entertaining.
Oppressive overkill can suck the life from any hallowed institution. Even, dare say it, the X-Men.
The spectacles linger in the imagination, but the rest is pretty easy to forget.
The three-quel is a talky D(N)a Vinci Code, devoid of pacing and rife with inside jokes.
What a comedown, after the weirdly beautiful things Singer and his technicians did in the first two movies.
I liked the action, I liked the absurdity, I liked the incongruous use and misuse of mutant powers, and I especially liked the way it introduces all of those political issues and lets them fight it out with the special effects.
X-Men: The Last Stand is spectacular but alienating: a high-flying high-tech product that impresses but fails to move you.
Despite all the grand gestures of climax and resolution, there's a pronounced sense of autopilot; the only person who seems to be having a good time is Ian McKellen as the scheming Magneto.
Without the first films' textured relationships, the story becomes just another episode of Orange Fireball Cinema.

Does your dog's flatulence have you gasping for air? Can one fart from your dog clear a room? Gassy dogs might be funny to some, but it's something we dog lovers can live without. Find out why some dogs fart so much and learn how to handle flatulence in your dog.
Reasons for Flatulence in Dogs
Dogs pass gas for basically the same reasons people do. Flatulence is a normal bodily function that cannot be completely stopped.
However, excessive gas can certainly be lessened, and finding out the reason is the first step.
Flatulence is the result of gasses that accumulate in the digestive tract. These gasses typically get there in one of the following ways:
- Swallowing excessive amounts of air (especially from "wolfing down" food) can cause excessive amounts of gas. Remember, what goes in must come out. If your dog does not burp out swallowed air, it will come out the other end. However, flatulence from swallowed air does not usually have a strong odor.
- The normal process of digestion produces gasses in the intestinal tract. Foul-smelling gas is often caused by bacteria in the colon that aids in digestion of foods that were not completely digested in the stomach and small intestines.
- Infections, diseases and disorders of the GI tract can cause excess gas production.
If a dog has excessive flatulence with a foul odor, the culprit is likely dietary.
It may, however, be the result of an infection or illness.
How to Decrease Flatulence in Dogs
First things first: is your dog showing any signs of illness? If so, he should see your vet before you attempt to address the flatulence. Signs like diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite along with flatulence could mean there is an GI tract problem.
Even if your dog is showing other signs of illness seemingly unrelated to the flatulence, you should still see your vet before trying to change his diet and/or add medications.
If your dog seems fine other than the gas, the next step is to make sure your dog is in overall good health. All dogs should have a thorough examination by a veterinarian every 6-12 months. If your dog has seen the vet in the last 6-12 months and received a clean bill of health, great. If not, it is best to make that routine appointment before trying to address your dog's gas yourself. You can bring up your dog's excessive gas to the vet and see what is recommended.
If your dog appears to be in overall good health, here are a few things you can change in an effort to ease his flatulence:
- Change your dog's diet. The dog food you feed might be making him excessively gassy. If you are feeding a low-quality "economy" diet full of fillers and by-products, try changing to a better quality diet made with whole food ingredients. Look into feeding a natural, holistic dog food. You might also consider feeding a homemade diet. Avoid ingredients that may cause excessive gas, such as soy, dairy, peas, beans and fruit. You can even try a limited ingredient diet to eliminate multiple ingredients.
- Slow down your dog's eating. You can feed several smaller meals throughout the day, or try placing an obstacle (like a ball or smaller bowl) inside your dog's food dish to slow him down. Consider trying a bowl that is designed to slow down eating, like the DogPause Bowl.
- Try probiotics. While the benefits of probiotics are debated among professionals, there is certainly no harm in trying to add more of the good bacteria to your dog's GI tract. Be sure to use a high-quality probiotic that is suitable for dogs. Ask your veterinarian for recommendations.
- Try dietary supplements. The use of Yucca schidigera and/or Zinc acetate has been known to decrease the odor of gas, but not the gas itself. Activated charcoal is also thought to reduce gas odor. Before beginning any supplements, be sure to choose a product that is labeled for use in dogs. Ask your vet for help with this.
When making the above changes, it is best to try one option at a time in order to determine which works best. If none work alone, you can try combining methods one at a time. Remember, if at any point your dog develops diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite or any other signs of illness, you should see your vet.
While waiting to see if any of these methods help, one simple way you can manage your dog's gas problem is through exercise. A simple walk within 30 minutes of eating can help move those gasses along more quickly, allowing him to emit them outdoors where the odor is much less noticeable.

Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, MN
To evaluate the ability of the intensivists with limited echocardiography (ECHO) training to assess left ventricular (LV) performance with the portable ECHO machine.
4 intensivists had 2 hours of didactics and 4 hours of hands-on training in obtaining and interpreting echocardiographic images. 41 consecutive patients who had a standard ECHO during their MICU stay underwent a bedside examination by an intensivist. The bedside exam was performed and recorded with the SonoSite 180 machine on the same day as the standard ECHO. The LV performance was visually estimated as category 1 (ejection fraction (EF) > 50%), category 2 (EF 30 - 50%) or category 3 (EF < 30%). The recorded exams were independently graded by a staff cardiologist. All participants were blinded to the results of the standard ECHO. Comparisons between the interpretation of the bedside exam by the intensivist and the cardiologist were made. Discrepancies between the bedside exam and the standard ECHO were evaluated.
The review of the bedside exams by the cardiologist revealed category 1 LV performance in 18 patients (45%), category 2 in 14 (35%) and category 3 in 8 patients (20%). One recording was technically inadequate. The intensivists estimated LV function correctly in 72% of patients, overestimated in 23% and underestimated in 5% (kappa statistic = 0.55). The majority of discrepancies (10/11) were within 1 category range. The sensitivity of the bedside ECHO performed by an intensivist to detect any LV dysfunction was 77% and the specificity was 94%. The positive predictive value was 94%. The negative predictive value was 77%. When compared to the standard ECHO, suboptimal bedside images resulted in the discrepancy in 4 cases.
Medical intensivists were able to make a correct estimate of the LV EF in the majority of patients.Additional training in image acquisition and interpretation may improve the performance of the intensivists in the bedside echocardiography.
Bedside ECHO may become a valuable tool in rapid assessment of LV function in patients admitted to the MICU.

In the span of a couple of weeks, we are seeing three signs that Europe is falling into Yeats' most well-known phrase ("Things fall apart; the center does not hold").
The first took place in France, of all places. A recent IFOP poll revealed that Marine Le Pen, daughter of fascist Jean-Marie Le Pen and successor to him as leader of the Front National (FN), would "win" the first-round of the 2017 presidential election. She'd even defeat President Francois Hollande in the second round. To be fair, the poll also shows Hollande would not make the second round in any event; the center-right nominee would beat him to second place, and then go on to defeat Le Pen. However, that Le Pen has the strength reflected in the poll is a sign that her emphasis on getting France out of the eurozone is finding a hearing in what was – and still is – a core nation in the European Union.
Outside the eurozone, the nation that has long been the epitome of European sophistication and socialism – namely, Sweden – pitched out its center-right government (whose eight-year length in office was itself a modern record), yet the incoming left-wing coalition barely won any more votes than four years ago. The center-right government instead lost nearly 7% of the vote to the anti-establishment, anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats (Coffee House). How the leftist coalition will survive this parliamentary session (four years) is anybody's guess right now.
Finally, of course, there is Great Britian, which simply put, seems on the verge of a nervous breakdown (Coffee House). Scotland will vote Thursday on whether or not to leave the United Kingdom and form its own state again, and the polls are close enough that a panicked London is trying out plans to hand a slew of powers to the Scots if "No" wins. Already, pundits outside Scotland are wondering if the Kingdom's leaders have gone mad (especially the acerbic yet side-splitting Dan Hodges).
Underlying all of the political quakes is a fault line right through the continent: the very battles between the elites and the common folks that run visibly through the Republican Party here (and, under the paper-thin loyalty to the president, through the Democrats as well). In Sweden, the center-right's assumption that it can be more center than right has led to votes being bled to the Sweden Democrats. In the UK, the Tories are losing votes to UKIP in England, while Labour has bled Scottish voters to the Scottish Nationalist Party for so long that the UK itself might lose Scotland itself.
The lessons in Europe should be crystal clear for us here on our side of the Atlantic. Forty years ago, the idea of a right-wing populist party holding the balance of power in Sweden, the rise of a neo-fascist party on a euroskeptic platform in France, and Scotland leaving the United Kingdom were unthinkable nightmares. Today, two are reality, and the third may hit by the weekend. Who knows what disaster could face us in 2054…

Lost Crowns and Glass Slippers
I feel a huff of warm breath on my neck and know the boy just sighed. "You don't, Kari, and you need to stop pretending that you do, or else I'll end up believing you." He says in a tired, sad voice. "When you love a person, you'd do anything for them. He explains, stroking my hair gently, "Kari, I would do anything for you. I'd lie, I'd kill... Kari, if it made you happy, I'd happily end my life for you."
I step back, making Clark stumble slightly, my breath caught in my throat. "No." I choke out, "No. You wouldn't. You can't!" I tell him, "How can you even speculate such a thing?" My voice is incredulous, "Clark, that would never, ever make me happy." I say with such force that me looks at me, shocked, but then his expression returns to his usual calm demeanor, and he says the very thing I'm dreading.
"We all surprise ourselves sometimes."
He breaks the eye contact we had, leaving me standing in front of him, my mouth open, terrified of myself, and of what he thinks of me. I shake my head, "No..." I murmur quietly, more to myself than to him. I look at him, desperate to get him to take back those words. Those words that mean so much to me. For what seems like the hundreth time tonight, I feel tears prick my eyes. I reach out for his hand, and he takes it, drawing me in and leaning down to me. I close my eyes, but can't help but wonder what would happen if he kissed me. Would it count as my kiss or his? Practically answering my question, he brushes my fringe away from my face and kisses me softly but with conviction in the centre of my forehead. "What would happen? If I kissed you?" I ask, my voice shaking slightly. He rolls his head forward so our foreheads are resting together.
"Everything would happen." He says, staring deeply into my multicoloured eyes, now brimming with tears, "I would cease to exist. My existance would never happen. I wouldn't even be a memory." He says, reaching up to take my face in his hands. "Because you don't love me the way you love him."
"Him?" I ask quickly. What's he talking about? He's practically the only boy I know. Okay, I've seen others out of my bedroom window, but I've never spoken to any boys except for him and Gared.
"The boy you'll fall in love with." He says with certainty, still searching my eyes.
"How do you know who I'll fall in love with?" I ask, yearning for the truth.
"I have to know. It's my job."
"Your job? Clark, what are you talking about? Who will I fall in love with?" I ask, my desperation growing inside me like a seed had been planted ages ago, and had only just started to grow. And it was growing too quickly for me to keep up with.
"To protect you from yourself. And I can't say, but it's not me." He says, his lips brush down my face and stop right next to my own. Only what he told me about him disappearing prevents me meeting his kiss.
He stays like that for what seems like forever, and then pulls away, leaving my cheek feeling cold. Then he says something that surprises me.
"When shall we go in?" He gestures to the hall which, although I didn't realise, is practically right at the end of the alley.
"B-But you're hurt. And bleeding." I say, stammering.
"I can clean up inside. Besides, I wouldn't want my Princess missing her ball." I stare at him, not knowing what to say. He holds out his arm for me to place mine on top, and I hesitate only a moment before I do. We walk slowly. I'd kicked off my other shoe, but he had picked it up and placed it in my small bag, claiming that we might need it. I tread carefully, not wanting to cut my bare feet on the tarmac that's bound to have some broken glass somewhere. After about five minutes of wandering around the alleys, following the music, we come into the open, and head towards the large hall that had been decorated to look like a castle. Pictures were being taken against the outside wall, that had also been painted to resemble a balcony overlooking a moonlit lake.
I want to avoid the picture queue as much as possible, but Clark steers me around, and we join the end of the queue. Several people turn and stare at us, muttering in lowered voices, but while I listen intently, Clark turns to me and tries to fix my hair again. Unsucessfully. I see Gared further down the queue, his date turning to glare at me. He turns around too, and I smile softly when I see his black eye. I didn't even know I'd hit his eye. Clark leans down and plants a kiss on my cheek, and several gasps are drawn from the queue. I'm tempted to run, but Clark's hold on my arm keeps me where I am.
After enduring several more minutes of whispering and staring, we stand together in front of the painted balcony. I stand waiting while Clark whispers something to the photographer. He nods, and Clark joins me, standing slightly behind me. I look at him, but he's grinning at the camera. Suspicious, I smile too, and the cameraman counts down from three. At one, Clark takes hold of me, and sweeps me into his arms. I yelp in surprise as he kisses my neck and the cameraman clicks the shutter. Clark laughs and carries me towards the entrance, my legs hanging over his arm, and my hands linked behind his neck. I giggle for the first time in my life, the tension I felt in the line for photos evaporating as I rest my head on Clarke's shoulder.

A woman charged with the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend had been involved in many violent incidents with him before his death, a jury has heard.
Juliette Anne Gerbes told police she picked up a knife during a heated argument before her boyfriend grabbed her hands and pulled the knife into his body.
"I don't know if he was pulling me or pulling the knife ... I don't remember seeing it go in," Gerbes said in a recorded interview played yesterday in the High Court in Napier, where she denies a charge of manslaughter. "All I know, I picked up a knife, he grabbed my hands and he told me to ring an ambulance, I was freaking out."
The 21-year-old's boyfriend, Christopher Jones, died after sustaining a knife wound in the early hours of October 13, 2012.
Gerbes denies causing the wound and said instead Mr Jones pulled the knife into himself.
The jury was told on Monday an argument started when the pair returned home from a party at a friend's house. The fight grew violent, with slaps and punches being thrown and Mr Jones choking Gerbes.
Crown Prosecutor Clayton Walker said there was no dispute, the knife was picked up and held by Gerbes in the moments before the fatal wounding occurred.
He said the Crown did not accept the wound was self-inflicted.
In the interview, Gerbes told police she didn't know why she had picked up the knife. "I wasn't trying to hurt him, maybe I was trying to be threatening or maybe it was as a joke ... As a stupid action I just picked it up, I wasn't aiming it at him ..."
Gerbes said she would have picked up a spoon and held it to him if it had been the closest thing to her.
She said Mr Jones was trying to be intimidating in the minutes before the incident, pushing her into a corner and she "just wanted him to stop". She said she could not remember what they were arguing about in the minutes before the incident but that she did not want to be pushed around and wanted him to "back off".
"He just grabbed me around the wrist, around the hand, he just pulled straight towards him, maybe he was trying to get it off me and I let go of it I don't know."
She said his face "dropped".
" ... he went all white, he was real worried, the only words he said to me were 'call an ambulance I'm not joking'."
A forensic pathologist, who gave evidence yesterday, said a knife had perforated Mr Jones' major artery and caused "torrential bleeding".
He died hours later at the Hawke's Bay Hospital.
The detective put it to her that it did not add up. He asked if the arguing and the violence towards her in the minutes prior to the incident was enough to make her "snap" for just one second.
Gerbes said the relationship had been a good one but with "rough patches" and "drama" throughout the year they had been living together.
"We've had decent-sized arguments about relatively important stuff in the year we've been together but we always find a way to make it up ... regardless of all the crap that's gone on we don't want to risk losing each other."
She told police about an earlier incident in which both her and Mr Jones ended up with black eyes.
She said Mr Jones had hit her head into the ground and thrown her around before punching her in the face.
Gerbes said Mr Jones could not remember the incident in the morning and she chose not to report it to the police as it would be "hypocritical" given she had also punched him.
A witness for the defence, the mother of one of Gerbes' friends, said it was the worst black eye she had ever seen.
She said she was concerned for Gerbes' welfare.
"The time she came round to my house with a black eye, a swollen face, there was no white left in her eye. It was one of the worst black eyes I've ever seen."
The witness said she had also seen bruising and finger marks around Gerbes' neck as well as a severe bruise on her buttock.
In a second police interview, recorded the following month and played to the jury yesterday, Gerbes said her parents were not happy with her and Mr Jones' relationship.
"They thought it was abusive ... they thought one of us would end up seriously hurt."
Gerbes' brother also gave evidence and said he had witnessed two violent incidents between the pair. One when Mr Jones had his hand around her throat and one when he was gripping her firmly around the arm.
He said he was aware of one incident where Gerbes had been violent towards Mr Jones.
The trial is expected to end tomorrow.

With week one of the season now looming plainly on the horizon, the Chargers need to focus in on changing their underwhelming track record in the months of September and October under Head Coach Norv Turner. Turner's 13-16 record during his four seasons with the Bolts in those opening two months is inexplicable really considering the fact that he has a 41-23 overall record in the regular season since taking over the job in 2007.
Certainly it doesn't take a mathematician to figure out that the Chargers have repeatedly finished strong under Turner's tutelage with a sparkling 28-7 mark in games after October 31st in the regular season. The overall maturity of this year's group leads one to believe that the days of slow starts are in the past with Turner's leadership (or lack thereof) not even factoring in to the club's mentality in 2011 as veterans like Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates, Takeo Spikes, and Bob Sanders have the ability to captivate a locker room and inspire the troops this time around.
To even further illustrate Turner's inability to prepare a team early in the season, the Bolts are just 2-2 in season openers under Norv and have began each of the previous four seasons with a 2-3 record. Even though the team has won the division three times under Turner and reached an AFC title game, a slow start in 2010 kept the Bolts from realizing their full potential as they failed to reach the postseason for the first time since 2005.
All Bolts fans are already aware of these shortcomings and hope that a strong rookie class with a dash of veteran infusion can right the wrongs of a year ago. The team took the first step toward solidifying its identity for the upcoming year when the final 53-man roster was announced with some surprising names left off the list.
Obviously the idea of saying that one player in particular should have been kept is convenient, but the task of deciding who should have in turn been let go is much more difficult. Still one name that came as a surprise in the trim down was former Arizona center/guard Colin Baxter who had seemingly created quite a niche for himself with the team in the preseason. The Bolts raved on and on about his versatility being such an asset to the team, yet the club failed to find room for him on their final roster. Baxter was quickly snatched up by the New York Jets off of waivers and added to their squad.
The other young and surprising roster casualty was third string rookie quarterback Scott Tolzien from Wisconsin who showed some very positive things in mop up action during the preseason. Current Bolts' backup Billy Volek is 35 and probably has a few years left in the tank, but it's still puzzling that the team couldn't find a spot for Tolzien on their final 53-man roster. Tolzien wasn't without a team for long as the San Francisco 49ers quickly added him to their muddled mess of a quarterback situation.
Despite the Bolts losing two potential contributors down the road from their roster, this can be spun in another direction all together. The Bolts have such a deep collection of talent on their current assembly of players that they just don't have the room for any developmental projects in their limited window with Super Bowl aspirations. There is no denying that it would have been nice to stash these two guys on the practice squad for a year of growth, yet the team can't be all that disappointed in losing them given their current situation.
Three other players unexpectedly let go that were all with the Bolts a year ago are defensive lineman Ogemdi Nwagbuo and both wide receivers Seyi Ajirotutu and Kelley Washington. Nwagbuo offered nice depth to the defensive front while Ajirotutu provided Rivers with a solid weapon down the stretch last season and Washington was a special teams dynamo. Still the team couldn't find a place for these three proven commodities when push came to shove in the roster cut either.
On the other side of the spectrum you have two relative unknowns coming into camp who made strong pushes that were ultimately successful in making the Bolts' roster. Both dynamic linebacker Darryl Gamble and kick return specialist receiver Bryan Walters were given spots on the 53-man collection of 2011 San Diego Chargers. Gamble brings a fire and intensity to the Chargers defensively that will be quite beneficial in spot duty while Walters has a game-breaking element that was shown in the kicking game with his return for a touchdown early in the preseason.
Even with all of the ups and downs of roster cuts, the Chargers should be thrilled with how they currently stand as a football team headed into the regular season. As astounding as it may seem, perhaps the Bolts Head Coach summed things up best as Norv Turner told the North County Times: "This is a tough day. You know that a lot of these guys will get opportunities somewhere else, but you go through the morning explaining to (27) different guys why you're moving in a different direction and that's not easy. It's certainly disappointing for them, and going through it so many times also takes its toll on the coach. I'm excited about our team and the guys we have left."
Now it's your turn to be heard. Which omissions from the 53-man roster were you most disappointed in? Will the 2011 Chargers start slow again or will this year's version win despite the lackluster preparation of their head coach? Do you see rookie free agents Darryl Gamble or Bryan Walters emerging as household names at some point during the season or will they simply be necessary glue guys for the Bolts this year? Fill up the comments section below with your thoughts!

|Translations of
'Disciples, this I declare to you: All conditioned things are subject to disintegration - strive on untiringly for your liberation.' (Mahāparinibbāna Sutta)
handa'dāni bhikkhave āmantayāmi vo, vayadhammā saṅkhārā appamādena sampādethā ti.
Sankhara-khandha:The builder of lives
| The Five Aggregates (pañca khandha)
according to the Pali Canon.

  Source: MN 109 (Thanissaro, 2001) | diagram details

 In the second (active) sense, saṅkhāra (or saṅkhāra-khandha) refers to the form-creating faculty of mind, often described as "volitional" or "intentional."[7] States the Buddha:
In the doctrine of conditioned arising or dependent origination (paṭiccasamuppāda), saṅkhāra-khandha is understood to be that which propels human (and other sentient) beings along the process of becoming (bhava) by means of actions of body and speech (kamma).[9] The Buddha stated that all volitional constructs are conditioned by ignorance (avijja) of the reality (sacca) behind appearance.[10] It is this ignorance that ultimately causes human suffering (dukkha). The calming of all such fabrications (sabba-saṅkhāra-nirodha) is synonymous with Enlightenment (bodhi), the achieving of arahantship.
As ignorance conditions volitional formations, these formations in turn condition consciousness (viññāna). The Buddha elaborated:
Tradition relates that after the Buddha's complete enlightenment he uttered the following words (English and Pali):
The 'housebuilder' to which the Buddha refers is just this mental faculty of sankhāra-khandha whose products, the volitional formations, are conditioned by ignorance.
The Buddha emphasized the need to pacify or appease dispositions rather than eliminate them completely.[12]
Kalupahana states that "the elimination of dispositions is epistemological suicide," as dispositions determine our perspectives. The development of one's personality in the direction of perfection or imperfection rests with one's dispositions.[13]
When preliminary nibbana with substrate occurs (that is, nibbana of a living being), constructive consciousness, that is, the house-builder, is completely destroyed and no new formations will be constructed. However, sankharas in the sense of constructed consciousness, which exists as a 'karmically-resultant-consciousness' (vipāka viññāna), continue to exist.[14] Each liberated individual produces no new karma, but preserves a particular individual personality which is the result of the traces of his or her karmic heritage. The very fact that there is a psycho-physical substrate during the remainder of an arahant's lifetime shows the continuing effect of karma.[15]
Although an enlightened individual's consciousness is a karmic result, it is not limited by usual samsaric constraints.[16]

... totally forgotten about the extra course that my meal came with - cheese! Placed in front of me was a rather hefty wedge of semi-soft cheese with a salty rind upon crushed walnuts and little pieces of toasted 'pain d'�pices'.
After eating ALL of that we got on to dessert. I had a massive cr�me br�l�e and Alyssa had some pain d'�pices and ice cream.

Lastly, even though I felt slightly inconvenienced about nothing being open, I understand the importance of Armistice Day (and Remembrance Day back home).

In an upbeat assessment during a visit to Tokyo, he urged investors to heed the lessons of history. 'There have been periods of great anxiety and a sharp drop in confidence, such as during the Gulf War, and very soon afterwards growth resumed and the world enjoyed a period of very strong economic development,' he said.
But he could not say exactly when the world upturn would begin, claiming uncertainty caused by last month's terrorist attacks in America made accurate predictions 'extremely difficult'. Europe was well placed to weather the storm because its economic 'fundamentals' were strong, he said.
Hailing the euro as a 'big success', he said in three years it had transformed European financial markets.

Are We Making a Difference?
"Homelessness and poverty are widespread and growing problems in Colorado. Every day, thousands of men, women and children wake up in homeless shelters or in homes they can barely afford, struggle to put food on the table and fight tooth-and-nail to make ends meet. Challenging economic conditions have only raised the stakes: if we are going to solve our problems, we must invest our resources wisely. As a result, we need organizations that address the issues with both an eye on the data and the real-world experience to know what works. Homeless Gear is one of those organizations. Its family of programs provides thousands of homeless individuals with a clear path from homelessness to self-sufficiency – supplies that help them make it through the night and support that helps them find jobs and stability to get back on their feet."
– Joann Ginal, State Representative – District 52
"Homeless Gear is a data-driven, best-practice organization that is crucial to our community's Ten Year Plan [to make homelessness rare, short-lived and non-recurring.] Its family of programs provides a continuum of services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness: everything from basic-needs support to long-term case management and housing assistance."
– Vanessa Fenley, Director, Homeward 2020
"I will never forget what Homeless Gear did for me and my family… It is thanks to your help and all your resources that I was able to prepare myself for a stable and secure job. It was also thanks to Homeless Gear and their awesome team that helped me get into housing… I will do my best to stay in contact with Homeless Gear and come and volunteer for the organizations that never let me down and got me back on my feet."
– Kim, 2015

The measure would be a strong signal that investors want greater disclosure of the threats climate change poses to business.
The company has a high dividend yield, which is safe.

Ford car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their F-250 Super Duty around town. Anyone who operates a Ford knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do. You bought your F-250 Super Duty because its reliability and American engineering agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Make no mistake, you didn't buy your F-250 Super Duty unless you knew that you wanted performance and unique style both impeccably combined into one automobile.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. On your Ford F-250 Super Duty, the A/C compressor is at the heart of this system. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, compresses this refrigerant into a dense liquid. After that it goes to an expansion valve that turns it into a gas so it can flow through the evaporator. That cools it so it can emit cold air. Without the A/C compressor, your vents would only blow air that was the same as the ambient temperature of the environment.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Ford F-250 Super Duty part for your project or repair. Buying new Ford parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the most superior original and aftermarket replacement F-250 Super Duty parts on the internet. When your Ford needs a top quality replacement A/C Compressor, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. All the Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C Compressor parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999.

Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
PURPOSE: Outdoor particulate matter (PM) exposure contributes to childhood asthma morbidity. Although pre-school age children are estimated to spend over 90% of time indoors, little is known about the effect of indoor PM exposure on asthmatic children. We investigated the effect of indoor PM exposure on the health of pre-school age asthmatic children.
METHODS: Children with asthma ages 2-6 years from the Baltimore Indoor Environmental Study of Asthma in Kids (BIESAK) were enrolled. Indoor air from the children's homes was sampled for 3-day time periods at baseline, 3, and 6 months. Caregivers completed a health outcomes questionnaire. Indoor PM2.5 and PM10 levels were related to asthma symptoms and rescue medication use during the previous 2 weeks and asthma-related health care utilization using negative binomial and logistic regression models. Generalized estimating equations were used to account for repeated outcome measures in the longitudinal data analysis.
RESULTS: Of the 150 children studied, 91% were African-American and 87% had public health insurance. Children spent an average of 21 hours/day indoors. Longitudinal analyses showed that each 10 μg/m3 increase in indoor PM10 was associated with a 3% increase in the incidence of respiratory symptoms (cough, wheeze, or chest tightness) (p= 0.06), nocturnal symptoms (p=0.06), and exercise-related symptoms (p=0.03). For every 10 μg/m3 increase in indoor PM10, there was a 6% increase in incidence of wheeze severe enough to limit speech (p<0.01) and a 5% increase in beta-agonist use (p=0.09). Similar relationships were found between health outcomes and PM2.5 levels, but in several cases, these did not reach statistical significance. Indoor PM level was not associated with acute health care use for asthma (ED visits or hospitalizations).
CONCLUSION: In this cohort of asthmatic pre-school age children living in inner-city Baltimore, increased indoor PM exposure was associated with greater symptoms, rescue medication use, and functional limitation, though not with acute health care use.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Reduction of indoor PM levels in the homes of pre-school asthmatic children should be targeted to improve respiratory health.

text: I have a 1961 model SWC, which I thoroughly enjoy shooting handheld or on a mono-pod - focusing on the near far that this widenagle can create. I have exclusively used this camera using the A12 back making 6x6 square images. However I have also though it would be interesting to create 6x45 images using the A16 back I have. Recently on ebay I saw an add selling a viewfinder mask for a SWC that maks to create Superslide size (1 5/8 square) allowing the use of the A16s back. While this did not interest me, this was the first I saw of this kind of accesory. My Question: Did Hasselblad make a mask for the SWC for use of the A16 back (6x45)? TIA Steve

Opinie o innych obiektach tego gospodarza
My teenage daughter and I rented a room in january 2015. It was during wintertime so it was cold outside. The heater in the house works perfectly but it was a little bit too warm for us compared to the outside temperature. Opening the only openable window in the living room, or sleeping with the airconditioning on, helped a bit to reduce the heat.
The room is located at an ideal, central place in Lower Manhattan. The beds were fantastic to sleep on. Mike is a very friendly and hospitable man who gave us the feeling that his house was our house.
The apartment is comfortable and cozy, even when all the rooms are full there's no any problem with the use of the bathroom and kitchen. Apartment was cleaned everyday, all the peoples in the apartments follow the rules, that's make easier and convenient the stay. The location is awesome, there is a bunch of great restaurants nearby and there are 3 different train routes available just 3 blocks of distances. there's also a bunch of places nearby to buy NY city souvenirs, ATM's in every corner and the neighborhood is very safe. John is very kind and always try to help you with your stay. Definitely I would stay again for the next visits to NY, 100% recommended.
NYC is always fantastic, the apartment was however not. It was either freezing cold or very warm. It wasn't possible to adjust the heat. 2 out of 6 days there was no hot water at all. No hot water = no shower! Several of the wals was not painted and the sofa was compleatly warren out. Full of holes. The entertains and stears is very dirty and the backyard is best described as slum, with thousands of smoked cigarettes laying among other waste. The worst was however all the bird droppings on old air-conditions hanging from the windows in the backyard . We are talking of years without cleaning. 40 ~ 60 cm high "mountains" of bird droppings. And then on top of that the apartment is approx. 50 meters from Manhattan brigde, with a train passing every 2 minutes, 24/7. You can not belive the noise! Manhattan John (Mike) is a nice guy, but this apartment should newer have been rented out to tourists.
John is a very accommodating host. It is difficult toilet him, understandably, as he is like other New Yorkers, a very busy man.
However, he has a system in place that works. I stayed in this flat for 10 days while looking for jobs, and had many neighbours coming and going without any problems.
The location is a 10/10. Cleanliness 9/10 decor 8/10.. Overall a great bargain for your money.
3 problems I had:
1- Never send mail, wish I knew, but it's really difficult to retrieve mail.
2- Too many people using the shower in the morning. Wake up early. (4-8 ppl)
3-Maintanance needed to be done on the bathroom, but john changed the date for that till after check out.
Overall, I'd stay there again, it was a good experience.
The apartment is equipped the necessary kitchen utensils and new floor covering / interior paint is consistent with renovation, appearance inside clean and tidy. The mattresses must be very old and you hear the springs every time you move in bed. Not used to living in the city the the frequent trains travelling less than a block away on the bridge made sleeping even more difficult. TV reception is poor with an indoor aerial only. Pipes the run from floor to ceiling rattle at times (warm at times ?noise when heating turned on also associated with hissing sound in kitchen). Only one key very difficult with 5 people. Takes a long time to get hot water through the pipes for washing up / shower. (Do not know if any laundry facilities nearby). Need to be fit to carry suitcases up 3 steep flights of stairs.
Good location, nice room, sharing bathroom. Some days I have to wait for the bathroom. John and Lucy was very helpful and good hosters.
Apartment was in a very handy location. Well presented with everything that you need. Beds aren't the best, but are adequate.
Nice appartment, clean, lot of space. We've got the feeling this was not a private appartment, but commercial.
we were 3 girls that rent an appartment at 125 east 31 street and its not real the room is listening here. Anyway everything went smooth and the room was large. And bed is comfortable. And the wi-fi was good.
The tv was big but its lagging sometimes with the anthena. And its hard to find power jack at the bed! Only bad thing is that you will hear the sound from street and cars passby the street. Can be pretty annoying in the morning. But otherwise tis close to everything.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Monsanto, which is in the process of being bought by Bayer, reported better-than-expected results for its most recent quarter as sales of its corn and soybean seeds rose.
Last month, German medicine and farm chemical maker Bayer AG offered $57 billion to buy Monsanto, a St. Louis-based company that sells seeds to farmers and makes weed-killer Roundup. The deal is expected to close before the end of 2017.
Monsanto said Wednesday that sales of sales of soybean seeds jumped 54 percent in its fiscal fourth quarter from the same period a year ago and corn seeds rose 34 percent.
The company reported a loss of $191 million, or 44 cents per share, in the quarter, compared to a loss of $495 million, or $1.06 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Earnings, adjusted for one-time gains and costs, were 7 cents per share, exceeding Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of six analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for a loss of 2 cents per share.
Revenue rose 9 percent to $2.56 billion in the period, above the $2.4 billion that analysts expected, according to FactSet.
Monsanto expects full-year adjusted earnings in the range of $4.50 to $4.90 per share for the current year. Analysts expect earnings of $4.88 per share, according to FactSet.
Shares of Monsanto Co. rose 92 cents to $102.53 in afternoon trading Wednesday.

Jingling .me domains are impossible to forget
Dainese, the world's leading specialist in protective wear for motorcycling, mountain biking and downhill skiing, is promoting wide range of its personal products and clothing under "I Dainese Me" brand. It employs dozens of VIP ambassadors such as Carolina Kostner:
Amr Mahmoud, of Profile.com opened another good year for .ME by completing the sale of reviews.me for US$ 10,000.00. He purchased the domain name back in 2011 for $1,150 on one of the registry held auctions. This transaction has an effective IRR of above 500% - quite impressive for this class of domain names. Well done! Our congratulations go to both the seller and the purchaser.
The buyer is Yotpo with a product about social reviews. Late last year they raised $ 2.3 million from various investors to compete with sites like Reevoo. They had few more names on their rebranding list, but could hardly beat it with anything else. Review.Me could have had a potential, but as indicated on their website: "it is not for sale". Reviews.Me is in the stealth mode on RocketLaunch platform currently accepting subscription.
Beautiful Bar Refaeli of under.me doesn't stop. Even not during the Christmas. Now she is advertising her new season line under "deliver.me" jingle:
Apparently as it appears via the whois records, Skype [Microsoft] has acquired SpeakWith.Me domain name.
Although Bar Refaeli of under.me doesn't own kiss.me [yet] she decided to launch a catchy campaign under this jingle:
Three letter domain names are scarce, sort of. With 26 letters, there are only 17,576 of LLL.ME ones. When it comes to pricing, deriving the right number can be difficult. Brands-and-Jingles, being currently busy with one premium transaction, has compiled some small research on the subject. This post will present the respectful findings.
At a faith forum in Columbia, Mo., on 3rd February 2012 ,Rick Santorum said that elderly people in the Netherlands wear bracelets that say "Do not euthanize me" because euthanasia accounts for 10% of deaths in Holland and half of those people are euthanized involuntarily. In fact, Santorum's statistics were overblown and the bracelets nonexistent. A joke website was soon selling mock bracelets "for travellers going to the Netherlands who would like to return alive," priced $15.
Source: ti.me
Last year we have discovered quite few LL.ME domain names. Two of them, namely di.me and me.me were taken since then back by the registry as the projects didn't take off. They are now available again via the official premium programme.
The market of short names is not sitting still and London based Turbulenz got its hands on a nice domain hack ga.me. The domain name was updated last time on 12 July 2012.
As .ME registry announced yesterday and made it official, we now have 650,000+ jingly .ME domain names. More to it, the most sexy internet extension keep maintaining the position of the fastest growing one.
The details are in the press release enclosed below.

Owning a handgun doesnt make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician. Jeff Cooper
22 long rifle ....love my S&W 2213 :) and CCI Stingers, Velocitors, or Mini Mags ....! Just my personal choice . The cheap bulk stuff does not like to cycle in my Smith . Never had a issue with CCI
Given the choice between the two, I'd probably opt for the .22LR like the majority of the folks on here. I'd probably save my money and by a Ruger Bull barrel though, so you could actually hit something you were shooting at.
Believe Brad commented about buying ammo instead, and that really makes more sense than either small piece. Even in an EOTWAWKI situation, ammo will be better barter material than a cheap handgun, that isn't reliable.

Because we had many different grantmakers with many different needs and focus areas involved in the initial development of Foundant GLM, you'll find the system is highly configurable. We built Foundant GLM from day one to be a commercial software solution for all grantmakers. You decide what features you want to use and how you want to run your grant programs. We support all of our clients using the exact same software and hardware components. This technical environment allows us to provide the outstanding customer service we are known for while quickly and inexpensively making the software improvements that our customer community request. This helps Foundant stand apart from the competition.
Many grant management software providers start off as consultants helping a single grantmaker solve their grant management problem. After the initial release, they look at the market and decide how the custom solution developed will meet the needs of more foundations and a new grant management company is born. In this scenario, if a new client needs a new feature or workflow, they sell them consulting and program a customization. Quickly they run into the problem of supporting dozens of clients running slightly different solutions. New feature development becomes impossible and support cost becomes expensive. The past is riddled with failed grant management companies that made the same mistake.
We look to our client community to help determine what we add to our solution, so instead of charging clients for customizations, we ask for suggestions, solicit feedback from our community and prioritize based on what will improve our solution as a whole. This process keeps software development more focused and well thought out, so we do not end up with an unstable solution overloaded with loose end features.
Finally, every potential Foundant client must first participate in a one-on-one, custom demonstration so we can understand your organization and show you how we can meet your specific needs. The custom demonstration is the best way to understand if Foundant GLM is a fit for you. We promise with our money back guarantee that we will be upfront and honest, only recommending our solution if it is in the best interest of both our organizations.
