Dear Warrior {08-09-12}
Dear Warrior...
I work at an adorable pizza place. It's one of those small-town restaurants where the customers are fairly regular, and you pretty much know the tastes of the people who come there. I'm a waitress there, which is super fun, since it means that I get to bounce around, talking to people and smiling a lot and generally being as obnoxiously cheerful as I care to be.
Oh, and I also have to answer phones. That's scary. Anyways.
Last night, as my employer and I were closing up the dining room (there's the dining room where people dine in, or else they can call in for delivery or carry-out), my employer asked me to sweep the floor. So I did.
I went into the backroom and retrieved the broom and dustpan. Then, I began to meticulously sweep off every. single. tile., moving every. single. obstacle. out of the way.
My employer watched in amusement for a couple minutes before taking the broom from me and showing me how I'm supposed to sweep the floor. Instead of being insanely thorough (and insanely slow) like I was, she swept the floor in quick, brisk sweeps. It took her, what, all of five minutes?
I laughed. "Sorry. I was being sort of meticulous."
She laughed, too. "It's okay. You'll learn."
And for some reason, that stuck with me. You'll learn. Because I will. I will learn how to be less of a perfectionist. I will learn to stop letting the little details that go awry make me anxious. I will learn to get rid of this all-or-none attitude.
Right now, it feels like the rough patch I'm going through will last forever. I keep telling myself, "Get over this already!" I keep thinking that recovery (yes, recovery, because I do have real problems) should be so much quicker. Will I be fighting this my whole life?
To some extent, yes, I believe that perfectionism, anxiety, and all that stuff will always try to pop up in my life. But the healthier I become, even now, the more I realize that those psychological demons are fading away, ever so slightly. This is getting better. It's getting better. I can do this, I think.
Just like I'm going to learn how to sweep the floors at the pizza place without being downright perfectionistic about it (ooooh, that's gonna be hard), I will learn how to go through life without seeing it as one big mess to be set perfectly to right. And you will learn how to go through life without letting your baggage weigh you down.
God is going to get us through this, Warrior. He'll make sure that the pain in our lives is recompensed fully. And by "recompensed," I'm talking jewels and mansions and golden streets. :)

On this day, the entry point was open and there were only a couple of other boats nearby that had snorkelers in the water. We secured the kayak to nearby buoys and snorkeled through the entry point.

Owned by an English Family now living and working in the Dordogne, we fell in love with the unique charm of Domaine Le Ruisseau when looking for our little bit of heaven in Southern France.
Harris Raphael purchased this chateau / country house in 2002
Domaine Le Ruisseau, set in a magnificent 50 acre private estate, is one of the most beautiful and tranquil locations you could imagine, yet very close to local amenities and all the area's main attractions. It is a perfect place to relax, a real 'swallows and Amazons' paradise for children....and a haven for their parents and grandparents!
The wonderful 14x7M heated, chlorine Free swimming pool and activities complex is a focal point of summer activities, and in the autumn winter period Chestnut Cottage is a cosy property with wood burning fires and central heating
Some three years after we had undertaken major restoration and renovation work fully sympathetic with the local style, using traditional materials and techniques, Domaine Le Ruisseau was recognised as one of the most beautiful properties in the Dordogne in a visitor survey.
Chesntut Cottage has the special charm of being set in the heart of such a magnificent private estate surrounded by woods, stream, boating lake, and gardens, and yet being close to all local amenities and activities.
The 300yr old spacious and warm property is made entirely from stone, wood and materials from the estate itself and other local sources.
Chestnut Cottage is a five star holiday home set in the most beautiful, tranquil gardens with the bonus of a fabulous pool to relax in.
The house has everything needed to make your stay stress free, including really comfortable beds!
Genuinely lovely, charming owners on hand should any questions arise and with sound knowledge of the area.
We left Chestnut Cottage feeling happier, healthier and more relaxed than we had for a very long time...,wish we'd booked for longer, we'll be back!
I would definitely recommend this place and its owners. We arrived as a family of 12 and were greeted well with some treats to see us by for our first night/morning.
The place is well sized and the grounds are perfect for kids to venture. The real selling point is the Pool and summer house facilities. These were great for both adults and kids to use. The place would benefit from some updating in places but all in all it was a fantastic stay. Ashley/Alexandra/Penelope.
Excellent setting and facilities which made for a memorable holiday. Chestnut cottage has ample room for a family to relax , play and dine together in a peacefully valley setting full of wildlife. The owners were unobtrusive yet provide a warm welcome . In particular their extra services helped us enjoy local cuisine and wines as well as the delicious home made orange cakes ! Proximity to some highlights of the Dordogne was a bonus but we were always eager to return to Chestnut cottage .
A truly beautiful property that is even more lovely in reality than the the photos depict. The living room and kitchen are particularly spacious and well equipped with stunning tranquil grounds and a lovely big pool. A real gem with helpful and friendly owners on site.
We had a lovely, relaxing time at Chestnut Cottage, perfectly located to tour the Dordogne and a great place to spend time with the family away from the hustle and bustle.
with 20 years of renting gites in France, I can honestly say that we have never found such a beautiful location or a more comfortable, clean and welcoming holiday home. With the owners on site but not obtrusive, there were answers to any practical questions, and excellent information supplied upon arrival. The domain is stunning and the swimming pool magnificent. Local eating is fantastic and local markets/shops all top notch. No need to stray far, but should you wish to, there is so much to see. The river Vezere is more beautiful than the Dordogne for kayak enthusiasts, being peaceful and quiet. I would strongly recommend Chestnut Cottage, and full praise and thanks to the charming owners!
Chestnut Cottage is set in the "Périgord Noir", the heart of the Dordogne, with easy access to the region's chateaux, rivers and market towns.
The house is five minutes from the town of Les Eyzies, a major site of prehistory, two minutes to the nearest restaurant, and five minutes to a bakery, pharmacy, shops and a small supermarket.
Within 15 minutes are the towns of Le Bugue and St-Cyprien, with large supermarkets and a range of other facilities.
This is an ideal spot for anyone who enjoys exploring. From the house, one can enjoy miles of walks through forests and countryside, by rivers, lakes and medieval villages.

Russian gamer's cry from the heart, who hopes to be heard
Russian gamer's cry from the heart, who hopes to be heard.
Good day! My name is Vladislav, I'm 23 years old, 20 of which I play video games. I live in the third most populous city in Russia - Novosibirsk. I want to appeal to the leadership of Playstation, although I understand that it's probably not likely to get ... As to the question of pricing for the products of Playstation in Russia.
Was recently announced the price of the PS4, which in the U.S. is $ 399 (12 000 RUB). I want to honestly say, even for Russia, this price is very good! But there is a problem: Russia is associated with European countries, where the price is 399 euros (16,000 RUB). The difference is 4000 RUB - it is almost 30%, which is significantly for us. However, our country can not be compared on the incomes of the population with Europe and the United States. If you do not take into account the Moscow region, where incomes are sometimes can be compared with income in Europe (1000 euros), 90% of Russia's population receives an average of 400-500 euros per month. And this is especially true for Russian gamers - pupils and students, who often have fewer opportunities! It is no secret that most of the players in our country - people 14-20 years of age.
If you follow the simple logic, it is not clear why the population with incomes below twice or three times, pays the same - the maximum cost in euros? Why to Russia (and maybe other countries) do not enter a price based on the price in dollars? Again, for many, this is very important. This is compounded by the fact that many retailers and speculators inflate those prices (not to mention online stores, some of which have already put up the price 19,000 RUB = 470 euros instead of 399).
I did not even mention about the price of the game, which will further hit on the pocketbook Russian buyer. For example, buying a game entirely in English via the Russian account, will have to pay 2500 RUB = $ 83, although through a U.S. account the same game can be purchased for $ 60. Why? After all, this is a digital store Sony!
I would not be writing this message, if Russia does not have an official representative Sony. I understand that the Russian market is not the highest priority. However, a vicious circle: a lot of gamers can not buy products Playstation corny because of lack of funds. It's not your fault and I'm not complaining. I want you to understand me correctly. I propose to follow simple logic. I and millions of Russian gamers do not understand the pricing policy, which, if acceptable, only for the Moscow region. 90% of the general population remains behind. Let me remind you that our population is over 140 million people. Russia may become one of the most important markets for Sony. To achieve this, in my opinion, we should at least set prices based on the dollar value. We do not ask for discounts, please do prices in Russia for what officially established, for example in the United States. Especially, the PS4 has no regional restrictions. And control it. I assure you that you will see the console and games in Russia will be bought in several times better. You will be amazed.
Thank you for your attention.
Re: Russian gamer's cry from the heart, who hopes to be heard[ Edited ]
The company has to make money. Since the exchange rate is different, they can't simply charge UK people (or Russian, or Chinese, whatever) the same equivelent amount as the U.S. price. Not only are there exchange difference, but there are also taxes and stuff that must be taken into consideration. It's not a matter of simply looking at $400 and translating it to the exact same amount somewhere else. It has to be exchanged at a rate that is profitable for that region. For example: if the cost for Sony is $350, they are making $50 profit when they sell it at $400 in the U.S. If they sell the console in, I don't know, India - that $400 could translate to $200, which means Sony is taking a $150 loss. Not accurate numbers of course, but I think my point is clear enough.

I had my resume on career builder. GBC contacted me through email and telephone, niether the call or the email was informative about what I would be doing. I went in for an interview and was asked a couple of general questions and then was asked to come again for a second interview. I left this interveiw feeling exicited and confused at the same time, which caused me to question the whole thing. I havent had very many interviews, but in all the ones I have had they have always explained the job i would be hired for and the general duties of it. With that being said GBC seemed unprofessional not telling me anything about the job i would be doing. I was told that it was a management training program and the end goal was to have my own office but that was all. So anyway.... I was looking for reviews on this business and found this I just thought id add my own opinion. I should also say that i read some good reviews on glass door but seemed kinda fake since there wasnt a bad thing to be said about gbc for the first four reviews. Also I read this was a 100% commission job on door to door sales. I am a high school graduate with NO experience in any kind of business this just seems a little to good to be true, i will be cancelling my next interview.

Sandwich is now about two miles from the sea, but the River Stour used to be large enough for big trading and war ships to sail to and from the quay. This large harbour was called Sandwich Haven.
Can just about squeeze this into Sandwich Haven
It was also large enough for invading ships, and the town was invaded many times in the past. For example, in 1457, the town was attacked by 4,000 Frenchmen (mainly from Honfleur) under Marshal Pierre de Breze or as English accounts call him, Peter Brassey. The Mayor of Sandwich, John Drury, was killed along with many citizens. In memory of this event, the Mayor of Sandwich still wears a black robe.
All is forgiven today however, and the town of Honfleur is now a twin town of Sandwich.
Sandwich was and still is a principle Cinque port. Originally, the Cinque Ports were a confederation of five harbours, Sandwich, Romney, Dover, Hythe, and Hastings. They supplied the Crown with ships and men for over 300 years. In return they received freedom from tolls and customs duties, freedom to trade and to hold their own judicial courts plus many other privileges.
Today, these towns are still known as the Cinque Ports, but the coastline has changed considerably over the centuries and only Dover retains its major port status.
Sandwich still retains the tradition of collecting 'Ship Money' from its associate towns, the ceremony is held in the ancient Courtroom in the Guildhall every year.
No need to invade Honfleur - we have a Key
Not too keen on paying Ship money today

AMD planning to release four new power-saving CPUs in 2009
45 nm technology is emerging fast and so are AMDs plans to release new processors.
AMDs new product offensive on 45 nm CPUs will begin in October, introducing new processors to the server market. The company is planning to release new desktop processors on January 8th. The second quarter of 2009 will bring new Quad-Core-CPUs which focus on saving energy. The estimated TDP is 45 Watts.
Less power seems to mean less speed. The 45 Watt CPU reaches its maximum clock rate at 2,4 GHz and there is no Level 3 Cache anymore. AMD calls the new CPU cores Propus. A slightly faster version (up to 2,6 GHz) will have a power consumption around 65 Watt.

Very well kept hotel with excellent spacious and clean room. Reception excellent - very quiet location. Seemed a very well run hotel - well maintained throughout. Restaurant was closed on the Sunday night - suspect mainly used for business travellers
the Czech speciality food in the restaurant was very good the buffet breakfast was disappointing
Everything is new, very clean, 80% of the staff is really nice, -They couldn't find my reservation in the computer, so I was lucky there was a room available.the breakfast was really bad, The staff who was handling the breakfast was in a very bad mood.
Attractive location. It was difficult to find. Parking space was limited.
Just thought it was a pleasant suprise to find such a nice hotel tucked away in Teplice, the staff were great and although it met the expectations of the regular traveller it still managed to have the feel of a family run Italian Albergo....Great location in a nice street and so close to the station perfect for me!
Hotel sent taxi driver to pick us up at airport. Enjoyed looking out of the bedroom window onto the square. Bedroom was fine with modern bathroom with bath & overhead shower. Spa, restaurants, bars, cafes, parks, cinema, theatre and shopping all within walking distance. Great location. Definitely recommend to all.
Very old hotel. Old facilities. Would not recommend it to anyone!!!! No
friendliness and helpfulness of the reception staff; cleanliness of room; good quality breakfast
Internet works very well, room interior was clean and well maintained. Overally decent hotel, but not even close to high standards. Hotel itself is very old, restaurant, elevators, parking - all have a taste of '70's. Breakfast is poor.
never again! old terrible toilette, terrible smell (in elevators mostly), and very-very cold everywhere.
Apart from bathroom it's a decent place
The accommodation part of the hotel was very good - secure, clean and comfortable. Generously sized bathroom. Mine host spoke German and English and suggested and served an excellent breakfast. Nice beer/lunch garden in good weather. The room was too small for 2 people and needed more ventilation (road too noisy to open window). The only TV stations were in Czech. The over-large Sunday evening meal (pork knuckle promoted in menu and on board outside) was dire to the point of inedibility; we left 99% of it. Waiting staff could only speak Czech (so why advertise the hotel abroad?) and were fairly indifferent to customers.
Very nice hotel, good service.

|Fast Break: Celtics survive another Wizards scare
|11.07.12 at 10:21 pm ET
Thanks to double-doubles from the Big Three, the Celtics survived a second straight game against a Wizards team missing two of its best players. It wasn't pretty — and required OT — but the Cs' evened their record at 2-2.
Rondo's 18 points and 14 assists in the 100-94 victory moved him alone into third place in NBA history with 28 consecutive games with 10-plus assists (behind John Stockton's 29, Stockton's 37 and Magic Johnson's 44).
Garnett (20 points, 13 rebounds) committed what could've been a costly technical foul when he jerked his elbow in Kevin Seraphin's direction late in the fourth quarter, but two Paul Pierce (15 points, 10 rebounds) steals and a Rondo 20-footer with 26 seconds left helped force overtime as Rondo's 3-pionter at the end of regulation fell short. The C's defense arrived just in time to salvage the game in OT.
First things first: The Celtics repeatedly assure the offense will come once they can get back to playing the kind of defense that's been the trademark of their success the past five seasons. Wednesday night's first quarter was a start. Led by Garnett and Lee, the Celtics held the Wizards to 29.2 percent shooting (7-24 FG) in the first 12 minutes, building a 21-16 lead that should have been bigger if not for five C's turnovers.
Garnett gold: Since nobody else put forth any effort in the opening 24 minutes, Garnett exerted twice as much. By halftime, he had 10 rebounds, seven points and two blocks. His final first-half defensive stand was remarkable, singlehandedly guarding the right side of the court and eventually blocking a Trevor Booker layup attempt with two seconds left on the shot clock. Without KG on the floor, the C's finished minus-13 before the break.
Forward progress: Finally given an opportunity to contribute midway through the third quarter, Chris Wilcox ran the floor with Rondo, made his only field goal and got to the line five times for six points to go along with two boards and a block. In just four minutes of action, he finished a plus-11 — while Garnett sat on the bench.
Very Terry: After admitting it was an adjustment to mesh with a new system, Jason Terry finally asserted himself into the offense. He took 15 shots, made seven of them and scored 16 points off the bench. Somehow, the C's reserves still got outscored, 53-41.
As a member of Mark Cuban's ever-changing Mavericks, Jason Terry saw his share of rookies, castaways and veterans enter the turnstiles attempting to adjust to the Dallas system. Even last season, a year out from winning the NBA championship, the Mavs lost five of their top 12 rotation players. Now, Terry's the one adjusting.
"We had a lot of turnover in Dallas where we'd bring in new guys every year, it seemed like, so this is nothing new, but for me it's definitely an adjustment," said Terry, who averaged 15.1 points, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals last season. "And I know for the guys that have been here, it's an adjustment for them, because they're used to playing one way and now you're implementing guys who are used to playing another, so it's difficult."
Even if last year's Mavericks lost Tyson Chandler, Juan Barea, Caron Butler, DeShawn Stevenson and Peja Stojakovic, they returned nine players from the title team while adding Vince Carter and Lamar Odom. Yet, Dallas dropped from a No. 3 to a 7 seed during the lockout season and got swept by the Thunder in the first round.
"For us, it never jelled," said Terry, who made his desire to keep the championship core together clear at the time. "It never happened. That's why we were out in the first round. It can happen, or it won't."
This season, the Celtics returned only four players from the roster that lost Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Heat. Even when you include Avery Bradley, Chris Wilcox and Jeff Green, coach Doc Rivers still has eight fresh faces in his locker room. What's to say this team never jells?
|Celtics notes: Doc Rivers announces, 'If we can't win with [KG] off the floor, we just won't win'
|11.06.12 at 2:32 pm ET
WALTHAM — It's been a recurring theme of the first week of the season. The Celtics need more out of their bench — much more.
Doc Rivers underscored that after open practice for special guests and clients on Tuesday. Rivers has told his team he's not going to lean on Kevin Garnett for more minutes when he's already trying to conserve the big man for an 82-game season. Rivers hinted the same could be said for Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo, though he feels he has some more wiggle room with them.
"No, no, I'm not going to let him do more. I'm going to play Kevin the same amount of minutes," Rivers said. "With Paul, Rondo you can go anywhere but if we can't win with him off the floor, we just won't win. And I told our bench that. We're going to play the minutes that I'm giving them. The bench will play the minutes they should get and if they've got to do something or we just won't win. It's that simple."
Garnett is averaging a reasonable 29 minutes a game in the first three games. Pierce is at 35 minutes and Rondo is playing 41 minutes per contest. Rivers has not yet seen the consistent production he would like from Chris Wilcox, Brandon Bass and Jeff Green but he feels it will come.
"Not yet but when you take Kevin out, you're not going to get Kevin," Rivers added. "That's why he's on the bench. But I don't think that's been an issue. When he's been off the floor, like last year, when he was off the floor, it had a dramatic [effect]. I don't think that's been the case so far this year at all. I think the guys that have come in have tried to do what they should do. I think the other guys with him have to do more."
Tuesday's practice featured detailed instruction from defensive guru Mike Longabardi, who was teaching trapping principles and defensive rules within the system, especially important to the newer players, like the three rookies and Jason Terry and Leandro Barbosa.
"Today was just a practice," Rivers said. "It's easier here because it's in your natural surroundings. It was a good practice."
Rivers again preached patience when talking about the newer players picking up the defensive scheme.
"We're getting it," Rivers said. "It's just going to take time. I thought we were a lot better today. We're working a lot of principles and tendencies. Offensively, it's just moving the ball. Defensively, just running the coverages and talking. It just takes time.
"There's no date," Rivers added when asked if there's an expected time by which everyone should be on board. "Every group is different because if one guy doesn't get it, it brings the whole team down. Every year, it's a different group. There's no expiration date on anybody. It's just takes time."
|Box and 2: Inside Celtics, Bucks and Wizards, oh my
|11.05.12 at 2:39 pm ET
Friday: Bucks 99, Celtics 88; Saturday: Celtics 89, Wizards 86: Observations about the box scores from Games 2 & 3 of the C's (1-2) 2012-13 NBA season.
— Called upon by Doc Rivers Friday night to protect the paint against the Bucks, when smaller lineups weren't working, Darko Milicic played 4:30 of the first quarter. He missed his only shot — an air-balled baby left hook — and committed more turnovers (2) than he totaled rebounds (1) or blocks (0). Then, he didn't play Saturday.
Kevin Garnett: "We're still playing with the chemistry. We have different lineups in which Doc is playing with simultaneously, and we're still working. No one said this was going to be an easy process."
Translation: "The Darko Experiment is called that for a reason. Let's just hope it doesn't blow up in our face."
— Over the weekend, Brandon Bass finished a minus-11 in 40:52 without Jared Sullinger on the floor. The Celtics outscored the opponent in just two of his 10 stints sans Sullinger — by one in the final 3:53 of the first quarter against the Wizards and by two Terry free throws in the final 1:35 of that game. Without Bass on the floor, Sullinger finished a plus-14 in 33:29, and the C's outscored opponents in five of those eight stints. (In case you were wondering, the two played 14:40 together, finished a minus-9 and only outscored opponents once in six stints.)
Rivers (via the Herald): '[Sullinger] brings a different component, more importantly rebounding. He knows how to play without the ball. He's a great passer. He blends well with our starting group.'
Translation: "Sorry Brandon, but you're going to see a lot more Sullinger in the starting lineup."
Celtics guard Jason Terry submitted his second diary entry for ESPN.com. Here are 10 highlights.
10. No self-respecting team loses to the Wizards: "I had said [Saturday night] was a must-win. The reason is when you play a team like Washington, which has had some injuries and might be short a man, you definitely want to win these games. These are the type of games you just have to win."
9. The difference between Sully and Bass was negligible: "I know the starting lineup was changed a little bit with Jared Sullinger starting and Brandon Bass coming off the bench, but really I didn't notice that much. Everyone who came into the game tonight was focused on our defensive coverages."
8. Terry is clutch, according to Terry: "I was happy to contribute in our win with two free throws down the stretch. It's definitely in my DNA to make big shots, especially when the game is on the line, whether that's with free throws or making a play or an assist or a shot to win or tie the game — that's just who I am."
7. The JET hasn't quite arrived in Boston yet: "I'm still trying to get comfortable within the structure of the team. I'm a work in progress. I'm very optimistic. I know we have the making of a championship team. I know we have to continue to grow and there are going to be some speed bumps along the way."
6. For now, the Celtics are going to struggle against elite teams: "The Heat are the champions, and the core of that team has been together and had two full seasons for the most part. They're going to know each other very well, while we're still trying to figure it out. We're going to struggle in a situation like that."
|Jason Terry: 'These are growing pains'
|11.02.12 at 11:25 pm ET
The Celtics didn't plan on starting off 0-2, but through the first two games of the season it's clear that the roster — with the additions of the likes of Jason Terry, Courtney Lee, Jared Sullinger, Leandro Barbosa and the return of Jeff Green, among other roster alterations — hasn't quite hit its stride yet.
The C's looked slow and admitted to a lack of communication defensively in their 99-88 loss to the Bucks, a game in which they trailed by anywhere from 16 to 20 for much of the night.
Terry, playing in his second game as a Celtic since signing a three-year deal in the offseason, finished with 10 points, two assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench on Friday. After the game, the veteran guard diagnosed why the C's have gotten off to such an unproductive start.
"These are growing pains," Terry said. "This is what the NBA season, this is what the journey is all about. We're going to look back at this and say that we grew from it. It just happens, whether it's injuries, whether it's what we're going through right now, there's always bumps in the road along your journey that you can look back and say, 'OK. We got through that, we persevered.'
|Irish Coffee: 18 milestones 2012-13 Celtics will eclipse
|10.30.12 at 5:13 pm ET
Before the Celtics renew their rivalry with the Heat in Miami on Tuesday night and both teams begin their march toward what seems like an almost inevitable second straight Eastern Conference finals showdown, let's predict 18 franchise and NBA milestones the C's will eclipse during the 2012-13 season.
18. Considering he totaled 620 assists in just 53 games last season, Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo will shatter his own single-season franchise record for assists (794) and pass Bill Russell for fifth on the C's career assists list. In doing so, he could become the first NBA player since the turn of the century to average 12 assists per game.
17. Kevin Garnett will score his 6,000th point in a Celtics uniform, passing Ray Allen (5,987) for 21st on the franchise scoring list. He should also surpass 3,000 rebounds, 1,000 assists, 400 steals and 400 blocks in green and white before the year is through, climbing a few more rungs on his ladder to the rafters.
16. Five ways Celtics captain Paul Pierce piles even more cement on his franchise legacy: 1) If he plays all 82, he'll surpass Robert Parish by a single contest for second behind John Havlicek on the C's career games played list; 2) If Pierce plays 2,941 minutes, which he did in 2008-09, he'll pass Russell for second behind Hondo; 3) If he takes his usual 1,000-plus field goal attempts, he'll pass Larry Bird for second behind Hondo; 4) If he makes 500, he'll pass Parish for third behind Bird; and 5) Like Rondo, Pierce will pass Russell for fourth in career C's assists.
15. When the Celtics win their 53rd game of the year — topping Bovada's over/under of 50.5 — Doc Rivers passes Tommy Heinsohn for second behind Red Auerbach among coaches on the franchise's career wins list.

GOLD: Corridor is in the fuzzy boundaries
Leonid Varfolomeev
Frequent intersection of STD1 with STH4 signals the flat which is bounded by 5/8 (1265.63) and 2/8 (1218.75) levels. It should be noted that the price has been fixed above the level 3/8 again, whereas STD1 has changed its color. Therefore, the growth scenario to the area of level 5/8 is possible. However, the breakdown STH4 (1241.00) will lead to testing of 2/8 level which defines lower bound of the flat. At the moment, the key marks are 1241.00 (STH4) and 1250.00 (level 4/8), therefore the trade should be conducted in both directions upon the breakdown of the corresponding mark.
Trading recommendations:
1. Buy – 1252.00; sl – 1240.00; tp – 1265.00.
2. Sell – 1238.50; sl – 1245.00; tp – 1222.00.

TOWN OF WALLKILL � Officials say the toxic odor that forced the evacuation of the Courtyard by Marriott hotel Friday was likely caused by pepper spray.
Mechanicstown fire Chief Joe Andre said the substance apparently was sprayed on the emergency bar of a door leading to a stairwell.
The smell became toxic when it mixed with cleaning fluid. Two hotel workers were treated at a hospital for mild irritation to their throats, Andre said.

A work in progress
The evening was threatening and lonesome. A fire burnt in a dark fireplace. Although dangerous, it remained in the safety of the grate, barely fighting to be free. It burned most fiercely like passion, anger overcame it and it died down with loss and grief. A young girl sat at the hearth, not taking in its heat but staring into the fire, mermerized by its potential. By the age of sixteen Alyssa had experienced many things that most people would not experience in their lifetime. She had lost her father at the age of ten, her mother died seven months later and her only surviving relative Uncle Sam passed away just one year ago today. The day is January fifteenth two thousand and ten. It is not unlike yesterday or any other winters day but Alyssa dd not move from the fireplace since lunchtime. She could not move from it, something about how the flames moved today fascinated her and comforted her.
When she closed her eyes, Alyssa could still remember her mother and father. Their smiles and laughs, the way her mother floats not walked and the way her father would kiss her before he went off to war. She could still recall how her mother's red hair shone in the sunlight. It was darker and more vibrant than Alyssa's but everyday people were commenting on how Alyssa seemed to become more like her mother. Her eyes shone a shade lighter than her father's blue eyes, the only thing she inherited from him. She wished that one day she could have her mother's hair and her father's eyes just so that she had one thing that reminded her of them forever.
Because she was an only child and had no living relatives, Alyssa was put into foster care but was saved from ,oving from her home town by a lovely old couple Jim and Jean Meander. They had never had children themselves but when Uncle sam dies they stepped forward and asked permission to adopt the child of sixteen as their own. Witht the fact that Jim was a part of the police force and served in the army and both were valued members of the community of Thorte, it was not long before the adoption was finalised and Alyssa moved into their small but cozy home.
Alyssa was small for her age but only a little bit, her voice was not loud and she was polite and courteous. She had a button nose that wrinkled when she laughed just like her mother and sje was beginning to show signs that she would catch all the boys eyes, just like her mother, Alice, did. With her vibrant red hair and middling blue eyes Alyssa was a true Marin. Her parent and uncle moved to Thorte months after Alyssa was born but no one knew from where they came from. They neveer told the community and the only people Alyssa's parents talked to where the Meanders, although Uncle Sam never liked them very much. Alyssa about this subject before but all he woud say was that they travelled from the west and Thorte seemed the right place at the right time for them. The answer always seemed enough for Alyssa at the time but as days passed she would find herself questioning everything again but afraid to bring it up.
Owning to the fact that it was the day of her uncle's death, Mrs Meander did not bother Alyssa much but left her on her own. Alyssa was smart and funny Mrs Meander thought, she will snap out of this mood, it was part of becoming a teenager, she concluded.
At seven o clock, the clock struck like it did every hour since it had been placed on the mantelpiece nineteen years previous. Alyssa felt a chill down her neck from a breeze. She turned to see if a door was open but none were. Confused Alysaa turned around to find the fire had burst to life. It was now licking the wood that fed it, nearly touching the inside of the chimney. In a moment of fear she jumped back, not knowing how the fire had changed so quickly. Then looking closer she seen seomthing that she had been suppressing all day, her parents. It was not a snapshot of them, they were moving, laughing, like they were in front of here but could not see her. Then, without warning, Mrs Meander came into the room diverting Alyssa attention and the fire died down. Upon seeing this rapid shrinking of fire Mrs Meander dropped the tray she was carrying and stared at Alyssa and then the firs. A moment or two passed before anyone moved and then Alyssa rose and started to clean up the chaos on the floor. Seconds later Jean leaned down to help her and in silence they cleared the clutter up. The Jean disappeared with the mess and left alysaa alone once again.
She did not go back to the fire. She did not know why but even though she wanted to see her parents, she did not feel safe, she felt like someone was watching her. She felt perplexed, torn between fear and seeing her parents again. Alyssa went to her bedroom and lay there for what seemed like hours before she drifted off to sleep.

Are mangroves in the tropical Atlantic ripe for invasion? Exotic mangrove trees in the forests of South Florida

Two species of mangrove trees of Indo-Pacific origin have naturalized in tropical Atlantic mangrove forests in South Florida after they were planted and nurtured in botanic gardens. Two Bruguiera gymnorrhiza trees that were planted in the intertidal zone in 1940 have given rise to a population of at least 86 trees growing interspersed with native mangrove species Rhizophora mangle, Avicennia germinans and Laguncularia racemosa along 100 m of shoreline; the population is expanding at a rate of 5.6% year−1. Molecular genetic analyses confirm very low genetic diversity, as expected from a population founded by two individuals. The maximum number of alleles at any locus was three, and we measured reduced heterozygosity compared to native-range populations. Lumnitzera racemosa was introduced multiple times during the 1960s and 1970s, it has spread rapidly into a forest composed of native R. mangle, A. germinans, Laguncularia racemosa and Conocarpus erectus and now occupies 60,500 m2 of mangrove forest with stem densities of 24,735 ha−1. We estimate the population growth rate of Lumnitzera racemosa to be between 17 and 23% year−1. Populations of both species of naturalized mangroves are dominated by young individuals. Given the long life and water-dispersed nature of propagules of the two exotic species, it is likely that they have spread beyond our survey area. We argue that the species-depauperate nature of tropical Atlantic mangrove forests and close taxonomic relatives in the more species-rich Indo-Pacific region result in the susceptibility of tropical Atlantic mangrove forests to invasion by Indo-Pacific mangrove species.

Get the most from your trace mineral program with MAAC®
Trace minerals play a significant role in most bodily functions including enzyme and hormone activity, which support reproductive function. Trace minerals are also important for minimizing early embryonic mortality.
The roles of trace minerals in reproduction include:
Deficiency in trace minerals such as copper, manganese and zinc have been reported to depress estrous, decrease fertility, and cause abnormal fetal development. However, proper trace mineral nutrition can increase the number of cows bred in the first heat cycle, shorten calving intervals and eventually increase weaning weights by as much as 50 percent. This is especially important in first-calf heifers since they are still maturing. First-calf heifers have higher nutritional requirements, so it pays to meet their nutrition needs differently.
Unfortunately, traditional inorganic trace minerals have low natural bioavailability and absorption in the animal. Therefore, they must be supplemented to meet the animal's requirements and enhance reproductive efficiency. The highly bioavailable MAAC® and MINTREX® chelated trace minerals from Novus have been shown to enhance reproductive performance.
The objective of an on-farm trial in Wisconsin was to determine if feeding MINTREX chelated trace minerals would help increase conception rates in a beef cattle herd that had been struggling in that area. The herd's ration was supplemented with free-choice MINTREX for nearly six months. Palpation results showed a 97 percent conception rate for the first-calf heifers (an increase of nearly 10 percent), even when under the stress of first-calf birth, milking and continued growth while becoming pregnant during a hot and dry summer.1
Fertility problems with the Oklahoma State University (OSU) Beef Cattle Center herd were found to be caused by a copper deficiency. As a result of the findings, the herd was placed on a free-choice mineral program including MAAC chelated trace minerals. Subsequent blood profile data confirmed the copper deficiency was corrected and performance improved.2
Later, the OSU Beef Cattle Center conducted a trial to determine if a more bioavailable source of minerals could help improve first-calf heifer breeding performance, which usually lags behind that of mature cows. The herd's first-calf heifers were divided into two groups supplemented with either inorganic trace minerals or a combination of inorganic and MAAC chelated trace minerals. Heifers supplemented with MAAC showed significantly more estrus activity (185 percent more heifers in heat) and had 286 percent more first service conceptions for heifers exhibiting estrus than those supplemented with inorganic minerals.2

Trace minerals are divided into two categories, inorganic (ITM) and organic (OTM). Organic minerals are best described as minerals such as zinc, copper and manganese that are chemically bonded with an organic molecule such as a protein, amino acid, organic acid or carbohydrate. The type of organic molecule, and the way it is bonded, defines the class of OTM within the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). The most effective trace minerals are able to avoid dietary antagonisms and thus provide a more useable mineral. Many organic minerals available on the market fail to achieve these goals.
Inorganic mineral salts are poorly absorbed. According to the National Research Council (NRC), absorption rates of mineral salts are reported to be as low as 1 to 5 percent. Organic minerals are much more bioavailable, depending on how they are manufactured. Quality organic minerals have improved stability in the digestive system and are less likely to encounter interferences from antagonistic minerals, fiber and phytates.Characteristics differentiating organic minerals are:
There are six different classes of OTMs within AAFCO, each of which offers different levels of quality, bioavailability and stability. The different classes include: metal methionine hydroxyl analogue chelate, metal amino acid chelate, specific metal amino acid complexes, non-specific metal amino acid complexes, metal proteinates and metal polysaccharide complexes. It is important to understand the different categories and benefits in order to get the most value from your trace mineral supplementation program.
As the halfway point of the year approaches, Novus is already starting to plan for NCBA Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. This year's convention will be eighth year Novus has exhibited and participated and there are some exciting things in store. As Novus continues to build its understanding in trace mineral nutrition, exploration has begun into understanding the value and impact trace minerals have on animals all the way from conception to birth and beyond to growing and finishing or their replacement into the breeding herd. Looking forward, there is a busy summer and fall ahead with hay and grain crops coming out of the fields in full force and we look forward to meeting with you in Nashville! Look for Novus at more industry events this summer and fall!

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) — You've heard of tech companies starting in a Silicon Valley garage. What about on a ship?
That's the idea being floated by the California startup Blueseed Co. They propose docking a vessel off the coast to house foreign entrepreneurs who have dreams of creating the next Google but can't get visas to work in the United States.
The ship would be a remodeled cruise ship or barge that Blueseed leases. Residents would pay $1,200 a month for work-live space. A ferry would speed them to the mainland for meetings in Silicon Valley.
Critics say investors should put their money behind American entrepreneurs. But Blueseed says many foreigners are behind successful American companies.
Blueseed wants to raise up to $30 million over the next 18 months and launch in late 2013.

The shares crashed to a two-year low of 172 3/4p before closing 14 1/2p down at 187 1/2p after the broker slashed its target price from 260p to 150p, on fears that revenue growth from licences is under severe pressure. Now valued at only £1.9bn, ARM looks set to fall through the FTSE 100 trapdoor on June 12.
Warburg analyst Laura Baker believes ARM is reaching saturation point with its customer base in its key markets. She forecasts that licence revenues will grow by 22% next year while revenue from royalties will fall 2%. As an additional irritant, ARM has been landed with another patent lawsuit in the US by technology company Nazomi Communications. It claims that ARM infringed one of Nazomi's patents on a chip, which uses Java software technology. ARM dismissed the action as 'frivolous'. Sage, another IT stock threatened with relegation from the Footsie, edged forward 1p to 180p.
On the defensive following Wall Street's overnight fall, the Footsie moved within a narrow range of 30 points before closing 8.8 points better at 5083. Sterling eased to $1.4603, while the euro improved to 63.77p. The Dow eased another 0.6% as accounting worries resurfaced after oil services group Halliburton said it is under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Engineer GKN reversed 4p to 341p after returning to the Footsie. It replaces Innogy, taken over by German utility RWE. Patent paranoia dragged AstraZeneca down 49p more to 3017p. AZ said new research suggests its drug Seroquel may help schizophrenia patients.
Director Andrew Slater's purchase of 7,000 shares at 379p after the disappointing 69% decline in profits helped Durex and Scholl footwear group SSL International rally 15p to 392 1/2p.
Dealers expect further weakness in fashion group Arcadia (3 3/4p easier at 371 3/4p) after chief executive Stuart Rose sold £936,000 worth at 374 1/2p.
Money broker ICAP rose 32p to 883 1/2p after it unveiled an 18% hike in full-year pre-atx profits to £89.1m before one-offs and goodwill. Chief executive Michael Spencer aims to top £100m for the current year. Numis says buy and has a target price of 950p.
Hoping to tie up a deal soon with niche broker Evolution Group (1 1/2p up at 70p), Beeson Gregory rose 6 1/2p to 110p. Evolution's annual general meeting heard that its Christows broking side traded profitably in the first quarter.
Property group Quintain Estates, in which Jack Petchey owns 12.6% through his Trefick vehicle, rose 7p to 254 1/2p. The Meridian Delta consortium, in which it has 49%, hopes for first property sales by 2005 from its contract to redevelop London's Millennium Dome and surrounds.
Engineer Bodycote slumped to 202 1/2p before closing 36 1/2p lower at 212 1/2p after sales fell 11% in the four months to April. Reports of a major US disposal helped bus maker Mayflower edge up 1 1/2p to 80 1/2p.
Strong buying on recovery hopes lifted Danka Business Services 9 1/4p to 64p. Bob Holt's Aim-listed support services group Mears firmed 1/2p to 101p after he told shareholders at the annual general meeting that it continued to make excellent progress. Current-year trading is in line with expectations.
Irish explorer Kenmare Resources gained 1 1/2p to 19 1/2p after signing an agreement to sell ilmenite - a titanium dioxide mineral - to a major consumer, believed to be Dupont. Two more big contracts should be signed soon.
Celtic Resources, the Irish gold producer, firmed 2p to 16p on an investment recommendation. This week it announced a £2.56m placing to buy the Suzdal Gold Mine in Kazakhstan.
After UK postal regulator Postcomm delayed plans to deregulate mail delivery by 12 months to allow Consignia, the former Royal Mail, time to restructure, Business Post was sold down to 386 1/2p. But it bounced to finish only 13 1/2p off at 415p. Postcomm reaffirmed plans to introduce competition to 30% of the UK letter market.

Understanding Point of View What is Point of View? by Sarah Marchese and Jessica Wheeler Point of View is what allows you to 'see' and 'hear' what is going on in the story.
It is used to help readers understand the story and comes in three varieties:
First Person, Second Person, and Third Person. First Person Definition First Person is used to hear the thoughts of a narrator and see the world through their eyes. Determining First Person To tell that you are reading first person, the character narrates the story using words such as I, Me, and Mine. First Person Example Second Person Definition In this Point of View, the author has made the reader a character in the story through your eyes. The author speaks directly to the reader. Determining Second Person The author speaks directly to the reader using words such as 'you' and 'your'. Second Person Example Third Person Definition Third Person is the point of view that is of an outsider looking in on the story. There are three different forms of Third Person: Third Person Omniscient, Third Person Limited, and Third Person Objective. Third Person Definitions In Third Person Omniscient, the thoughts of every character are open to the reader.
In Third Person Limited, only the thoughts of one character are open either throughout the story or in a specific section.
In Third Person Objective, the facts are reported by a seemingly neutral, impersonal observer. Third Person Example: Third Person Limited Questions and Answers on All Three Points of View First Person Questions: Which sort of words are used in the First Person Point of View?
What story was used as an example of First Person? Second Person Questions: Which sort of words are used in the Second Person Point of View?
What story was used as an example of Second Person? Third Person Questions: What are three kinds of Third Person Point of Views?
What are some examples of stories that Third Person was used in? First Person Answers: Which sort of words are used in First Person Point of View? The words I, Me, and Mine can be used in First Person as many as many others. What was the example used for First Person? Second Person Answers: What sort of words are used in Second Person Point of View stories? The narrator could use words such as You and Your in Second Person Point of View. What story was used as an example of Second Person Point of View? Third Person Answers: What are the three kinds of Third Person Point of Views? There is Third Person Omniscient, Third Person Limited, and Third Person Objective. What are some example of Stories that used Third Person?

Parenting the non-girlie girl
Jared Sperli stashed this in nyt
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
Yes. This paragraph encapsulates it nicely:
On the bright side, I have accidentally achieved what many mothers strive for: a non-girlie girl. The other mothers in my Facebook feed share posts from A Mighty Girl ("For smart, confident and courageous girls") and Amy Poehler's Smart Girls ("Change the world by being yourself"). This was the kind of mother I'd planned on being. I'd anticipated conversations about why there were more important things in the world than being beautiful or having a tiara. But these conversations never even come up. I purchase the book "Rosie Revere, Engineer" in an effort to show my daughter that you don't have to be a boy to invent things or have a job. We read it a few times but she doesn't like it because Rosie wears a dress.

Collins (right) commits fouls better than anything else. And not the good kind of ridiculous. In the blowout loss to the Clippers on Thursday, the Celtics starting center played 17 minutes and grabbed one rebound. It was the only thing he did that showed up in the box score, unless you count turnovers (1) or fouls (3). In 3 of his 4 starts Collins doesn't have a field goal attempt, and he's scored a total of 7 points in those contests. He is still looking for his first assist of the season. I understand that Collins is out there for defense, but the C's are basically playing offense with just 4 guys when he's on the floor. Over his four game tenure as a starter, Collins has a total of just 19 points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks combined. In fact he has almost as many fouls (18) as everything else put together. Maybe he contributes in ways that don't show up in the box score, but there's no excuse for a starting center to average only 2.25 rebounds per game. It'...

Satisfaction with congressional Republicans also has sagged. By 47%-36%, those polled say the country would be better off if Democrats controlled Congress. That's the best showing for Democrats since the GOP won control of both houses of Congress in 1994.
Q: Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?
Approve: 46% Disapprove: 50% No opinion: 4% Full poll results
Americans express more concern about the price of gas than they do about the high-profile dispute over Democrats' filibuster of Bush's judicial nominations, the survey shows. And they are holding Republicans, who control the White House and Congress, responsible for their unease about the economy and Iraq.
"If people are not happy with the way things are going, the people in charge get the heat," says Andrew Kohut, director of the non-partisan Pew Research Center. A Pew poll released Thursday showed similar trends.
"We don't get caught up in week-by-week polling," White House press secretary Scott McClellan says. Bush "is going to remain focused on the big priorities and build on the progress we're making" on job creation and "spreading freedom."
In the sample of 1,006 adults, 36% call themselves Democrats, 29% Republicans. Including those who "lean" toward a party, 51% are Democrats, 40% Republicans. The survey isn't "weighted" for party ID, which fluctuates from poll to poll. Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, says the poll findings are "dubious" because the breakdown "does not accurately reflect the partisan makeup of America."
Bush's overall approval rating was 46%, down 4 percentage points since early May but higher than the 45% low in March. On specific issues, 40% approved of his handling of Iraq and the economy, 33% of his handling of Social Security.
Only on handling terrorism did Bush receive a net positive rating: 55% approve, 40% disapprove.
Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg says Bush is losing ground on "big, defining issues," including the economy and Iraq. "On Social Security, he's moved from being the person offering interesting ideas to the guy who wants to cut Social Security benefits."
Republican pollster David Winston says gas prices and Iraq violence have "unsettled the electorate" and affected Bush's standing.
There are red flags for Bush on two standard measures of a president's political health. The proportion that says he has "the personality and leadership qualities a president should have" fell to a new low of 52%. A record 57% say they disagree with him on the issues that matter the most to them.
On the filibuster confrontation — defused by a compromise announced late Monday — those surveyed favored the Democrats by 48%-40%. But they saw merit in the arguments of each side. A 53% majority say the filibuster — the ability of at least 41 senators to continue debate and delay a vote — should be preserved. Still, 69% wanted the Senate to hold up-or-down votes on judicial nominees.
Interest in the issue wasn't particularly high, though. A 57% majority wasn't following the news on filibusters closely; more than one in three weren't following it at all.

Everything but the Brits would have been a decent rule of thumb for discerning live music fans this week. The industry jolly laid on its usual array of spangly performances and celebrity hook-ups on Wednesday night for an armchair audience. But it was the week's alternative economy of rival or loosely affiliated gigs - all attempting to steal some of the limelight - that made for the real entertainment.
The NME has always organised a series of gigs to honour its own awards ceremony at this time of year, but have there ever been so many? Time was when "the Brats" (as they were once known) staked their reputation on providing a short, sharp antidote to the industry pomp of the Brits. Brattish no longer, the music weekly's shindig is now preceded by a month's worth of concerts in five cities, as well as a separate nationwide tour. Proceedings will culminate on Thursday night with a giant stadium show at the O2, but it's the month-long NME Awards shows, a collection of indie flotsam and jetsam incorporating old friends, new contenders and musical anomalies, that supplies a broader take on where our ears are directed in early 2009.
Texan three-piece the Secret Machines, who headlined Monday night's show at the Islington Academy, are out of sync by approximately 10 years, mining the proggiest excesses of Seventies rock while the Eighties revival is in full swing. It's hard not to be impressed by their sonic brawn - guitars make like misfiring depth charges on "Atomic Heels" - but by the time we get to rock melodrama "The Walls are Starting to Crack", the band's skybound Floydisms are starting to sound more than a little hammy.
Support band the Big Pink deal in a different kind of musical anachronism, seemingly beamed direct from a Thames Valley student union circa 1992. Normally a duo, but expanded to a six-piece live, they were shortlisted in December for BBC's influential Sound of 2009 industry poll, and if new rave still has legs, their combination of shoe-gaze and the more blissed-out moments of baggy could have more propulsion than its woozy gait would suggest.
Thursday night sees Britrap take its turn with young hopeful Master Shortie supporting old hand Roots Manuva at the Camden Koko. Former Brit school pupil Shortie delivers a set big on volume and brio if short on engaging wordplay. He should play well with the Skins crowd though. Roots Manuva is offbeat at the best of times but seems more than usually distracted, and his co-MCs have to do most of the work. There's some entertaining rap whimsy all the same and "Dreamy Days", though a bit of a shambles tonight, is enduringly lovely.
If the NME gigs have quietly dropped their hostility to the Brits, Wednesday's War Child gig, celebrating 15 years of the rock-affiliated charity, makes no secret of its allegiances. The audience is packed in long beforehand but proceedings don't start until 11pm, giving joint headliners Coldplay and The Killers plenty of time to digest their ceremony dinner across town before heading for Shepherds Bush.
The pay-off is the gig's status as the unofficial Brits aftershow, and a rumour mill buzzing with speculation about who else will appear onstage tonight - a "special guests" slot is scheduled. The chatter on the venue's bush telegraph has Brits presenter Kylie reprising "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" with Coldplay - the British four-piece covered it during their Glastonbury headlining slot in 2005 - and more far-fetched speculation involves a Chris Martin/Iron Maiden hook-up. But besides these fantasy collaboration pub games, much of the evening's fun involves gawping down at the venue's VIP-only first floor to see which stars are in attendance. Before the fun of the guest section can begin - a quick scan downstairs reveals that Richard Ashcroft, Courtney Love and Neil Tennant are all present and possible contenders (though unlikely in Love's case) - there's the small matter of the two scheduled gigs.
A concise hour-long performance suits co-headliners the Killers well, allowing them to deliver a terrific Noughties jukebox of a set without delving into the dustier corners of their so-so second album. "Mr Brightside", "Human" and "When You Were Young" are present and correct, but the conspiracy theorists among us take note that their barnstorming usual closer "All These Things That I've Done" is suspiciously absent.
Almost 10 years in a rock-star bubble have done nothing to diminish Chris Martin's populist touch or his heroic levels of uncool. Skipping across the stage at the start of Coldplay's set, fidgeting and chattering excitedly, he might have been custom-built for a feelgood occasion like this, the idea that nice guys win and Hollywood actresses dig nerdy dancing made flesh. Coldplay focus on their notionally conflicted (though really very accessible) latest album Viva La Vida, and also lay on a generous smattering of past hits while various audience members leave their seats and slip backstage for the encore.
Iron Maiden, heart-breakingly, aren't among them, nor is Kylie, but the appearance of Gary Barlow alongside Coldplay for the first of two collaborations makes better musical sense. Take That's mid-Nineties songs provided an early template for some of the piano-led sob stories on Coldplay's 2000 debut; Coldplay returned the favour by inspiring the stadium sound which has driven Take That's hugely successful comeback.
"Back For Good" is an obvious choice and as wonderful as ever, though neither Martin's nor Barlow's vocals are particularly audible above the communal singalong. But they call in back-up for the final salvo, a rousing version of "All These Things That I've Done" with the Killers lending the song and some extra heft, and a messianic Bono pacing in midway through to consecrate the group jam. "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier," sing representatives of four of the world's biggest acts, as 2,000 cameraphones are held aloft to capture the moment. In the early hours of Thursday morning, Brandon Flowers's famously nonsensical lyric feels like the most affirming sentiment in the world.
This is how every major charity gig since time immemorial has ended of course; everyone onstage, hugs all round and Bono having the last word. But whatever your musical allegiance or feelings about celebrity charity fests, it's impossible not to marvel at the sight of a stadium supergroup gracing a stage more used to hosting indie mid-leaguers. Only a committed cynic would wish they'd stayed at home to watch the Brits.
