The Louis Vuitton Librairie is an ongoing project in which artists are invited to display their favourite books – Gary Hume, Marc Quinn and Chris Ofili have already taken part and Grayson Perry is next. But Louis Vuitton has a particularly close relationship with Tracey. It is a main sponsor of her forthcoming retrospective at the Hayward Gallery in May 2011; she has shown at the label's gallery in Paris and was part of its artists' talks programme in London two years ago –a far cry from the cultural privations of her childhood.
Tracey read her first book, or half of it to be precise, aged 13. It was a Mills & Boon. She thought it was dreadful and wanted to review it for a competition at WHSmith but her school said no, her English was too poor. She sent in a review anyway and came second. The next book she read, aged 17, was David Niven's The Moon's a Balloon, which is on her shelf. 'I laughed so much, I wrote to David Niven to tell him. Then I read a load of Hollywood books, about Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Frank Sinatra. I did the Rat Pack. When I got on to Cecil B DeMille I realised I was in a whole new realm, understanding that Hollywood had its own structure and wasn't run by the stars. I read a book a week until I was 26.' She later devoured Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon, which was 'brilliant and really shocking'.
Tracey's confidence as a reader grew from passion, she says. 'I remember being 20, reading Crime and Punishment at the same time as my friend Maria Tantoni and my [then] boyfriend, the artist Billy Childish.' Tracey famously accused Childish of being 'stuck' in his art and he went on to found the anti-contemporary 'Stuckist' art movement which protests outside the Turner Prize every year. 'We had two copies between three of us – we couldn't afford to buy another – and were all reading it at the same time. One copy stayed in the flat we shared and the other would go to art school with one of us. We would rush home and fight over the books. If the others got ahead, it was agony. The more we read, the more gripping it got. It's one of my happiest reading memories.'
A more recent discovery is Daphne du Maurier: 'My Cousin Rachel is so cruel, so chilling. People think Du Maurier is wanky romance for bored ladies; it's not, it's incred-ibly dark. But it can be read as a romance, it's up to the reader.' That sounds like a lot of Tracey's own work: pretty, domesticated, but with a dark underbelly that some people choose not to see. 'Yes, I've been criticised for being too cute, too superficial, but that is people not wanting to look.'
Her installation My Bed, covered in stains and surrounded by condoms, ashtrays, empty bottles and dirty knickers, that just failed to win the Turner Prize in 1999, was far from cute but it was certainly domestic. It came from the same emotional source as her beautifully crafted quilts whose sewn-on words discuss sex, life, death, racism and alcohol, and the bronze sculpture of an abandoned baby's sock she placed on the steps to the British Pavilion when she represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2007. I was not the only person who thought that sock was one of the best things at the
Biennale, a brutally innocent object resonant with references to Tracey's unexpected birth 47 years ago as the undetected and undersized twin of her more substantial brother Paul (their absent father, Enver Emin, a Turkish Cypriot who fathered an estimated 23 children and seduced Tracey's mother when they were both married to other people, spent three days a week with Tracey, Paul and their mother, three days with his other family and one day 'somewhere else, we never knew where'); her two abortions, the first of which left her very ill and the second of which was twins – the smaller foetus was missed and slid down her leg in the street a few days later; the sexual abuse she endured as a child by a man she refuses to name; her rape by a local youth in Margate aged 13; and the fact that she will never be a mother. It also touched the sense of abandonment we all carry inside us in one way or another, because her work is both self-referential and universal; it is honest.
Do Not Abandon Me is the title of Tracey's most recent show, a collaboration with Louise Bourgeois that opened in New York in October and comes to London in the new year. The catalogue sits in pride of place on her curated shelf and she tells me about meeting Bourgeois, the artist whose monumental spider sculpture, Maman, inaugurated Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in 2000, and who died this year aged 99. 'I first visited her five years ago and I thought she was formidable. I thought she didn't like me. She asked how long I'd been coming to New York and when I said 11 years, she shouted at me, asking why I'd never visited before. And she shouted in French because it was her first language.'
It turned out Bourgeois liked Tracey very much, especially her writing, including a piece Tracey had written about Bourgeois for Parkett magazine, and they began a conversation that continued until Bourgeois' death, meeting every six months or so. They found they had a huge amount in common. 'A lot of people put me down because I talk about what I know, my personal life, my intimate experiences and feelings, but that's my art language and that was her language, too. In terms of self-analysis, it's a journey, an adventure of the mind, finding out about yourself.'
The collaboration was Louise's idea – Tracey says she wouldn't have presumed to ask – and when Bourgeois sent her 'a huge roll' of images to work on, Tracey waited 18 months before her mind was clear enough to begin. She had five exhibitions to work on first and carried the prints with her as she travelled the world from show to show. Finally, she began to overlay Bourgeois' paintings of male and female torsos, heavily pregnant or hugely phallic, with tiny figures that occupy wombs, climb, suck or appear to worship male appendages and, in one case, is crucified on a phallus. Bourgeois saw the work in March and approved it just months before she died. Tracey was shocked by the loss. 'I was sure she'd live to reach 101. It was the week after my father died, aged 89, and I was alone in my house in France when I got the call about
Louise. I always thought they'd have made a good couple. It's weird to carry on with the show without her.'
Much of their conversation was of wombs, pregnancy and childbirth, but a difference between the two artists was that Bourgeois had three children. 'You see the future and you're alone, holding your cat's paw, it's a different place you're going to,' says Tracey, with more than a hint of self-mockery. But not having children is a complex issue for her. 'If I'd wanted them, I suppose I'd have had them,' she says. 'But I never met a man who wanted to have them with me, so that wasn't encouraging, and now I'm too old. Last year I had an operation to prevent pregnancy, to remove the possibility. The idea of getting pregnant at 47 – I'd be grandmother-age bringing up a child. But I don't think I was meant to have them. When a friend gives me one to hold I feel like I'm holding an alien. My friend [and Spitalfields neighbour] Samantha Morton had a baby and I didn't see her for two months. But when she said they had got some kittens I was round like a shot.'
Still, one feels that Tracey is in a constant state of mourning. Her studio is littered with small chairs which, she says, belong to 'all my dead children', referring as much, I think, to dreamed-of babies as to the abortions. Her relationships are long-term and serious; she doesn't do casual. She went out with the writer, curator and gallery owner Carl Freedman from 1993 to 1996 ('We had a clause that we renewed our relationship every six months, we never took it for granted and we're still very good friends'), fellow YBA Mat Collishaw from 1997 to 2002 and photographer Scott Douglas from 2006 to 2010.
Tracey's problem with Christmas is that 'for people with children it is utterly child-centred', and she wishes she knew more childless women. But she manages to find enough waifs and strays to make a party on Christmas Eve at her Huguenot house off Brick Lane, in which the basement kitchen is dominated by a long wooden table with a miniature Nativity scene on it –'from Austria; I go there every January to read and detox' – and each room is painted in 17th-century colours and furnished with carefully sourced antiques. And she has Docket, a cat given to her a decade ago by Mat Collishaw, who is now in a relationship with the taxidermy artist Polly Morgan. 'A docket is what you get before you get your ticket: Docket was my pre-child instruction manual. Now, of course, he is my child.' She laughs. 'For Christmas Eve, I cook chicken soup and vegetable soup, buy big cheeses, and text invitations to friends who I know are on their own. People are usually invited somewhere on Christmas Day or are going away to escape, so Christmas Eve is a good one. Sometimes it's ten people, sometimes 30. I decorate the house with fairy lights and candles and it's quite secular, but we do go to Midnight Mass. A couple of years ago I decorated the church and hired candelabras. When we arrive, it's a bit like Stella Street, neighbours turning round in their pews saying, "That really looks like Bianca Jagger!" Last time, Bianca and Vivienne [Westwood] heckled the vicar because they didn't agree with what he was saying. And I was so drunk I started miaowing during the Amens. But it's nice, not about presents or money, but doing something together.'
This year Tracey's mother Pam, 82, is spending Christmas with her. 'The reason I've never liked Christmas is because my mum used to waitress on Christmas Day and Paul and I sat at home waiting for her. We didn't have decorations, our house wasn't Christmassy. My mum didn't like it because my dad was never with us, he was with his wife and their children. She's always refused to come to mine. I think she agreed this year because I told her I missed her when I was in hospital.' Tracey broke three ribs in October after falling down the steep flight of stairs that leads to her attic bedroom. She had spent a relatively sober evening with friends at a restaurant. Luckily her friend Joe, who lives in the cottage at the bottom of her garden, found her. Tracey's mother lives in a flat near Margate that the artist bought for her, and Tracey is clearly thrilled to have her to stay: 'I'm taking her bowling at Shoreditch House.'
Tracey is usually on her own for Christmas Day. During the four years she was with Scott Douglas he spent every Christmas in Scotland with his son. 'Which is normal – I'm not a child.' In 2004 she made herself a baked potato and 'that was my Christmas'. The next year she was in her studio when Madonna rang and asked what she was up to. 'Working.' 'Come to lunch.' 'OK.' She jumped on her bike, ate fish with Madonna, Guy and the kids, and was back in the studio by 4pm. 'It was so relaxed. She's an old friend and wasn't doing Christmas big-time, I was only there for an hour. But this year I'll make an effort. I'll have a tree, presents, and some friends over. Mark Hix [the art-collecting restaurateur and chef for whose eponymous Selfridges restaurant Tracey made a neon sculpture] says he'll cook a goose – 'Well, I don't think he'd come if I was cooking.'
Her ideal Christmas would be spent in a hotel bed with the right person. Douglas wasn't that man; their relationship was on-off, and they split for good in September. 'I don't miss him in a Christmas-type way, but I do miss him. We're still friends; relationships aren't a matter of splitting up overnight, it's drawn out. He left, but I don't resent him. I understand; life happens. If you really want to know what I resent, it was spending poverty-stricken Christmases waiting for my mum to come home. I resent Father Christmas!' She is now shrieking with laughter.
As to future romance, the men who flirt with her now are ten or 20 years younger. 'David Tang's theory is that younger ones like the idea of an icon but to the older ones I'm scary. Younger men do seem to like me – I tell them I'm old enough to be their mother and it has no effect. It's unnerving. What are they thinking?' She is very keen on the idea of speed-dating, as she thinks she'd be so good at it. 'Sexuality is quite immediate, after that you can decide if you like someone. If I slept with everyone I liked, I'd never get out of bed, it's got to be chemistry first.' But she can't imagine going out, meeting someone and going home with them. 'I'm very old-fashioned. I like getting to know someone, being spoilt. There's no hurry, I've got everything I need anyway,' she pauses for a nanosecond, 'apart from a really big dick.'
Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin's Do Not Abandon Me is at Hauser & Wirth from 18 February (hauserwirth.com). The curated shelf is at the Louis Vuitton New Bond Street Maison Librairie until 28 January

SACRAMENTO (AP) Friends and family of two California journalists were relieved and excited Tuesday after the pair were pardoned by North Korea and released to former President Bill Clinton.
But they weren't ready to start the celebration until Laura Ling and Euna Lee landed in the United States.
"I'm just completely excited for the family and looking forward to seeing them flying home with Bill Clinton," said Marcus Marquez, who went to high school with Ling in Carmichael, a Sacramento suburb.
He added their families were not going to be fully relieved until "they're in their arms."
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il ordered the journalists released after meeting with Clinton, who arrived in North Korea earlier in the day on an unannounced visit. Clinton left the country with both journalists aboard his plane, his spokesman Matt McKenna said. All three were en route to Los Angeles, where the journalists were expected to be reunited with their families.
In June, the nation's top court sentenced Ling, 32, and Lee, 36, to 12 years of hard labor for sneaking into the country illegally and engaging in "hostile acts."
The journalists were working for former Vice President Al Gore's Current TV media venture when North Korean guards seized them in March near the country's border with China.
The journalists' detention came at a time of heightened tension between the U.S. and North Korea over that country's nuclear program. The U.N. Security Council also has imposed sanctions against North Korea for a May nuclear test.
The families of the two women, who had sent letters pleading for the women's release, issued a joint statement thanking President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the U.S. State Department for their work.
"We especially want to thank President Bill Clinton for taking on such an arduous mission and Vice President Al Gore for his tireless efforts to bring Laura and Euna home," according to the statement posted on a website dedicated to freeing the two journalists.
Brandon Yip, who is married to Ling's cousin, said the first thing he'll tell Ling when she returns is, "Don't ever do that again."
Yip, who is the worship pastor at Bayside Covenant Church of West Roseville, north of Sacramento, said he prayed throughout the ordeal and felt confident the women would return home. He said he was grateful someone of Clinton's stature was able to negotiate their release.
"I think it needed to be somebody like that," Yip told The Associated Press at his office. "I'm grateful that they finally got to that point where they could at least come together and talk."
Gore and Current Media co-founder Joel Hyatt thanked the Obama administration and Clinton for "his willingness to undertake this mission."
"All of us at Current are overjoyed at Laura and Euna's safe return," the men said in a statement released by Current Media. "Our hearts go out to them and to their families for persevering through this horrible experience."
Marquez said the families were heartened by vigils held on the journalists' behalf from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. He and Yip said a celebration would be held in Sacramento after they return home.
A neighbor of Laura Ling's father in Carmichael said she was ecstatic when she heard the news on the radio.
"It's been a long wait for the family. It's good news today," said Tomi Kelley, 48, who lives a few houses away.
Curtains were drawn at Ling's father's house and there was no answer at the door. Several television trucks were parked on the street.
The news drew applause from California officials, including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Schwarzenegger said he and his wife, Maria Shriver, were joining all Californians in celebrating the release of Ling and Lee. He wished them a safe return home.
"This has been an extremely difficult time for all involved, and I am grateful that this humanitarian gesture will allow them to begin a new chapter of their lives," Feinstein said in a statement.
Vigils have been held around the nation since the March detention, including at the state Capitol in Sacramento. Last month, Ling's husband, Iain Clayton, told a crowd of about 300 supporters gathered on the west steps of the Capitol that he wrote to his wife every day.
"People often ask me, 'How am I coping? How am I doing?"' Clayton said. "I think there's been better days."

I turned 26 today, guess you could say I'm at the end of my mid 20s, and getting closer to being a middleaged man. It's been nearly a decade since I first started out on the forums. So many old faces I'll never see again.
Well I don't know anymore. The anime part of this forum is slowly dying out (just RPGs are still alive). kiss sites have been constantly shutting down (now it seems that for real), older videos on AR are not working (still trying to finish Inuyasha) , horrible doesn't seem to have some anime I'm watching,
seems like nyaa will be the way to go for older series :/
Hello everyone!
Some of you may or may not remember me from the old AC days, but I am Starlight~ real life got in the way for a few years and I graduate with my nursing degree in July!!
Anyways, figured I would stop by and say hey, and I hope to reconnect and make new friends while I am back
Love you all,

Holy ****! I haven't been here in a long ass while. This adult life thing just takes all of my time.
So, my car have been draining my wallet dry. Need to change the shaft ends and the rack & pinion. IT SUCKS!
Still, I find how to still get dem gaems and ****.
I would tell y'all how stuff is doing over here (I'm an islander if everyone remembers correctly) but I don't want to get depressed at how shitty the stuff is getting over here.

I loved everything about Rapa Nui (ok, maybe not the rain), but what I loved most was watching the sunsets on Easter Island at Tahai. We were lucky to catch amazing sunsets all four nights we stayed on Easter Island. Tahai is the well-known spot to catch the sun's last rays of the day – and it was just a short walk from our cabana at Keu Henua Hostel.
There are three platforms of moai: Ahu Vai Uri, Ahu Tahai and Ahu Ko Te Riku, as well as remains of boat houses (named for their shape), chicken coop caves and the grave of archeologist Mulloy, who is credited for much of the restoration on the island.

Cyber warfare is a growing threat to Britain, the latest government review of the security services suggested yesterday. After a decade in which the primary security concern has been with the so-called "war on terror" this shift of emphasis is to be welcomed. No one should doubt the gravity of the threat from individual terrorists, but greater potential danger comes from lower-grade but far more quotidian threats. There are more than 1,000 malicious cyber attacks on British state networks every month, the head of the monitoring service at GCHQ revealed recently. They use the same technology that ordinary citizens use to go about their daily business. Nations are using cyber techniques to bring diplomatic or economic pressure to bear on one another. Small scale but significant cyber attacks happen every day.
The estimate is that 80 per cent of these can be foiled by basic network security disciplines. But the remainder of the threat is too complex to be addressed by simply building security walls ever higher. Rather it requires a refocusing of a security policy which has in the past concerned itself with Cold War priorities like nuclear deterrents and aircraft carriers. The danger is not merely to the computer systems of traditional military targets. Severe economic disruption could be caused to this country by cyber attacks from terrorists of hostile foreign powers on a wider range of areas from nuclear power stations and reservoirs to water networks and transport networks. The blacking out of power to computers, telephones and fridges could paralyse regions or whole sectors of the economy. And a flourishing knowledge economy needs to be able to protect the intellectual property at the heart of our high-tech and creative industries.
There are questions to be raised about how thorough the Government has been in this review. It has clearly been driven by cost-cutting priorities and has had only limited time for strategic reflection. The criticism from Labour's shadow Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, and the respected foreign affairs think-tank, Chatham House, may have some force on that point.
But what is clear is that a security policy that concentrates on Afghanistan, counter-terrorism, counter-proliferation and organised crime can no longer suffice. There are wider threats. Wider strategies of cross-border co-operation will therefore be required if differences between jurisdictions are not to create weak spots for attackers to exploit. This is an age of uncertainty and it is prudent for those charged with our security to scan the horizon for threats with more imagination.

Lindsay: She'll always have Paris
Paris Hilton is sorry. Really sorry.
Seems the sex-tape-to-reality-TV-star socialite made light of Lindsay Lohan's latest legal drama on her new reality show, "The World According to Paris," airing on Oxygen. When the tape leaked out, Lohan - who is waiting the outcome of her jewelry theft case, which also has her up on a probation violation that could mean jail time - told friends that Hilton, not exactly a stranger to jail cells herself, "is mean."
Apparently that biting assessment was enough to give the hotel fortune heiress pause. On Friday, TMZ.com reported, Hilton issued an apology to Lohan, saying, "I was joking around but it was thoughtless and unnecessary." She also said she was "reaching out to Lindsay so I can tell her myself."
Lohan may have been busy. On Friday, she dove into the first of her 360 hours of community service at the Los Angeles Downtown Women's Center. She has said she's intent on getting her hours in as soon as possible.
Maybe she'll have time for Paris after that.

Canada's Toyota workers poised to vote on joining union
By Susan Taylor and Solarina Ho
TORONTO (Reuters) - Workers at Toyota Motor Corp's (7203.T: Quote) Canadian plants are set to vote next week on whether to become the first at wholly owned Toyota facilities in North America to unionize, a push Canada's biggest private-sector union is confident will succeed.
A "yes" vote would mark a major victory for the union, Unifor, which has more than 300,000 members, including more than 39,000 in the auto industry, even though previous attempts to organize Toyota's Canadian plants failed.
"There's no question, there will be a lot of eyes on this drive," Unifor President Jerry Dias said at a press conference on Monday, where he was flanked by Toyota employees who said they wanted a bigger say in their workplace.
Unifor, which filed for union certification at Toyota with the Ontario labor board on Monday, said it did not want to say exactly how many workers have signed union cards, citing strategy. It said, however, that of the 6,500 workers at the three Toyota assembly plants in Ontario, well over the 40 percent needed for a vote to be held have signed cards.
The results of the vote, which is expected to start on Monday, will not be known until later in April, the union said. More than 50 percent of workers would have to vote "yes" for a union to be formed.
Toyota Motor Co of Canada, which has two plants in Cambridge, Ontario, and one plant in Woodstock, Ontario, said that its workers already "have a package that's at, or near, the top of the industry" and that it was uncertain what more a union could offer.
"We don't know what they're going to be able to negotiate or, frankly, what they're going negotiate away," said spokesman Greig Mordue. "What Unifor can offer is, frankly, a mystery."
He added that Toyota Canada, which began assembling vehicles in Ontario in 1988, has never laid off a permanent employee. Continued...

"Benediction" is every bit the archetypal Hot Creations track, distilled down to the barest elements: classic drum sounds, misty Italo synths and triumphant chords. The song is an ode to domestic bliss and holds itself in a captured ecstasy like the best songs of its ilk, a great way to end a set with a dignified bang. Best of all, Love's vocal is smooth and savvy; the way his voice contours around the beats, sliding seductively on "benediction for my heart and soul," is miles ahead of so much rote vocal house.
The EP comes packed with an instrumental—revealing the track's surprisingly icy skeleton, testifying to the warmth of Ali Love's voice—and a dub mix as well. The latter stutters and climaxes where the original is a slow-burner, something to keep a set percolating rather than wind it down. Things are rounded off with an unnecessary MK remix of "Forward Motion," which takes away most of its personality and replaces it with cheap Kinchen signifiers. Regardless, "Benediction" towers over the EP—a ubiquitous hit for all the right reasons.

Sir: The weekend's decision by the London Conference about military action against Bosnian Serbs still leaves important unanswered questions about British Government policy over Bosnia.
How far are we prepared to press military action - until the residents of Gorazde and Bihac are secure and the siege of Sarajevo lifted; or only until British troops begin to die in numbers?
Why are we taking a firmer stand against Bosnian Serbs? Is it specifically because we feel a moral obligation to challenge military and political leaders who violate human rights? Or is it, generally, because we object to their nationalist agenda that would turn much of Bosnia into part of an ethnically pure greater Serbia?
What sort of political settlement are we seeking? Do we want to restore the integrity of Bosnia Herzegovina as the independent multi-ethnic state to which we gave international recognition in 1992? Or would we settle for a partition of the country, because the British Government believes (according to some reports) that a stronger Serbia is the key to the future stability of the Balkans?
Mr Rifkind ought to answer these questions. We're so busy debating immediate action that we're ignoring the obscurity of underlying aims.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Johns

Clark looked over the newcomer, one eyebrow raised. Hello new cannon fodder. "I'm getting a 'pleased to meet you, hope you've guessed my name,' vibe." He muttered.

Hello meat-shield. He walked down to the hand. "I'll guess that you'd be Clark. My name is Langston, Langston Richards, quickdraw and sharpshooter extraordinare. It's good to see a man with tastes comparable to my own." He turned to the others. "Note that while I do enjoy the finer things in life, it's a lifestyle I had to earn a dollar at a time, with my own skills. I've sent more than one monster's brain out the back of their skull to rethink its purpose in life."

Clark instantly was on guard, though one couldn't tell it from looking at him. He was as relaxed as he usually was, and his hand didn't start toward a weapon. "How do you know my name?" He asked.

The front door guard, a man in SWAT armor with an M4, overheard Kintra's comment and directed her to the twenty first floor of the thirty story tall office building, explaining that that was the one set aside for bounty hunter use. After those who were going up right away had made the treck up, Ross arrived from further up the stairs and gave a quick glance about before addressing them. "Well, I told George about what happened to Fairfax; didn't seem to happy about it. But, he did have a job for us. Turns out those lights up North are some folks that just crossed over the damn lake, and right now they don't have adequate defenses to hold out on their own, so... They're asking for help" Ross explained, heading over to the unorganized pile of ammunition to make sure he was full up. At some point during the hauling of scavenged items upstairs, the camera Dean found at Fairfax made its way to the table in the center of the open room.

On the board was a number of papers; some looked like printouts while others looked more like post-it notes. The most prominent piece of paper on the left hand side seemed to be a printed copy of Cleveland's standard bounty prices, though this copy had some hand-written notes scribbled on.Other papers on the board had similar handwritten notes. Other note worthy pieces included a note warning about a suspected increase in number of monster nests along the Eastern side of the city; and a handwritten bounty that read, 'Get that damn red werewolf and I'll add ten bucks to the twenty you'll get at Hopkins! Signed, Benson at Clark Freeway', to which someone had added prbly alrdy ded to the bottom. There was still a number of other papers on the board, but they looked old. Ross took notice of Kintra looking at the board, and walked over, taking a look at it himself. "Sorry if it seems like a mess; I never got around to cleaning this place up. Plus I figured some of this old stuff might come in handy sometime" Ross said, then looked at the main bounty paper in particular and raised an eyebrow at the notes.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the wide receiver position was the weakest area of the 2012 San Diego Chargers. The meager 1,996 yards accumulated in total by every single wideout on the Bolts' roster was nearly eclipsed by one man as Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions totaled 1,964 all by his lonesome. As embarrassing as that number is, the Chargers have to feel like that number can improve significantly in the upcoming season given the adjustments made this offseason.
Former General Manager A.J. Smith signed what he thought would be significant upgrades to the position last offseason in Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal, but combined they didn't even total 500 yards receiving. An injury to breakout candidate Vincent Brown in the preseason severely handicapped the team as quarterback Philip Rivers had gained quite a rapport with the youngster during training camp. Malcom Floyd was his usual self missing a few games due to injury and racking up a little over 800 yards.
Perhaps the biggest addition to the team was found off the street in Danario Alexander who returns in 2013 with some lofty expectations. In just 10 games of action, his yards per catch average led the team by far at 17.8. His seven touchdowns also led all wide receivers and tied tight end Antonio Gates in that category.
Still the stats don't lie and there is plenty of room for improvement in the upcoming season for this group. With everyone expected to be fully healthy (knock on wood) as well as a savvy choice in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft stealing Keenan Allen, this unit should be solid.
Norv Turner is gone (finally) and Rivers will have a new voice in his ear with Head Coach Mike McCoy calling the shots. McCoy's track record is impressive, especially last season leading Peyton Manning and the division rival Denver Broncos to a 13-3 season as the offensive coordinator. The expectations should be significantly higher for this squad, even after their disappointing performance a year ago. After all, there's no where to go but up, right?

Thanks, that clarifies why HH did not work, So have to use .7. Is there .6.7 ? I am using .6.6 now. I did see the log entry in Node 4, adding a Hint for Node 2 and when Node 2 came up noticed a log entry in Node 4 that 1 row Handed Off - so I thought it was working. About RR - a read in Node 1 or Node 2 indicated a RR (see log entry above) was happening. But dont think that ever happened. Those entries keep repeating every time a read in Node 1 and 2 and kept giving old data. AES assuming Anti-Entropy - Tried nodetool repair, this also did not fix the issue. The only time I saw it being fixed was a read to Node 3 or Node 4 (mostly Node 3 which acted as responsible when Node 2 was down) and then 2nd reads to Node 2 started showing the latest data. Do you think RR and AES should have definitely worked ?

SEMA7A plays a critical role in IgE-mediated neutrophilic airway inflammation
SEMA7A has a role in the development of lung injury
Data suggest that sema7A is involved in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, in the modulation of the immune response and in the neurodegeneration that take place in the CNS.
This study demonstrates that Sema7A controls the assembly of actin-based protrusions that drive Dendritic cell migration in response to CCL21 (show CCL21 Antibodies).
Sem7a and its receptors regulate Chi3l1 (show CHI3L1 Antibodies) in pulmonary melanoma metastasis
These data identify Sema7A as a regulator of thalamocortical and local circuit development in layer 4 and provide a molecular handle that can be used to explore the coordinated generation of excitatory and inhibitory cortical circuits.
these results suggest that Sema3A (show SEMA3A Antibodies) and Sema7A have opposite effects and are involved in different stages of synapse elimination.
SEMA7A was expressed in the liver and was increased in the course of liver fibrosis, both in mice and in humans.
Oncogenic Ras may play a role in epithelial mesenchymal transition via the ERF and regulation of Semaphorin-7a.
We report here the expression and induction of semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A) on endothelium through hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha during hypoxia.
Sema3A (show SEMA3A Antibodies) and sema7A expression correlated with the inflammatory activity of the multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, suggesting their involvement in the immunological process that takes place in MS.
These results suggest that SEMA7a plays a role as a CSF (show CSF2 Antibodies) biomarkers associated with the conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis in clinically isolated syndromes patients
heterozygous missense variants in SEMA3A (show SEMA3A Antibodies) and SEMA7A may modify the phenotype of Kallmann syndrome but most likely are not alone sufficient to cause the disorder
Semaphorin 7A is a potentially important modulator of eosinophil profibrotic functions in the airway remodeling of patients with chronic asthma.
two MTRAP monomers interact via their tandem TSR (show CFL1 Antibodies) domains with the Sema (show SEMA3B Antibodies) domains of a Semaphorin-7A homodimer
Semaphorin 7A protein variants differentially regulate T-cell activity.
Sema7A markedly reduces the production rates of megakaryocytes and platelets from CD34 (show CD34 Antibodies)(+) progenitor cells.
The protein encoded by this gene binds to cell surfaces through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. The encoded glycoprotein is found on activated lymphocytes and erythrocytes. This protein may be involved in immunomodulatory and neuronal processes. Defects in this gene can result in loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

On the day of her sister's death, Rebecca Troyer took her first step away from the Amish.
Rebecca had always strayed a little outside the fold---a job at an Englisch bakery, long weekends with non-Amish friends---but nothing could have prepared her family for what she is about to do: Rebecca is abandoning the community to attend nursing school. She is headed to college, into "the world."
But she has to make it across the country first.
When she stops in West Kootenai, at the home of a lapsed Amish friend from her youth, Rebecca finds a lot more in Montana than she had bargained for---namely a handsome working man named Caleb Hooley.
Caleb is at a crossroads of his own. A daredevil bachelor with high standards, he has decided he'll never find an Amish woman who can quench his thirst for adventure. Needless to say, the pretty Amish girl who has fled her community in secret catches his attention immediately.
As hearts are opened and secrets are revealed, Rebecca and Caleb find they have much more in common than just their Amish background. But can this runaway find love with a risk-taker who has lost his faith in God? All it will take is one week in the wilderness to find out.

My review for book 1, The Memory Jar
My review for book 2, The Promise Box
USA Today best-selling author Tricia Goyer is the author of 35 books, including the three-book Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors series. She has written over 500 articles for national publications and blogs for high traffic sites like TheBetterMom.com and MomLifeToday.com. Tricia and her husband John live in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Tricia coordinates a Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. They have six children.

My review for Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska
My review for Remembering You
My review for Lead Your Family Like Jesus
My review for A Christmas Gift For Rose
My review for The One Year Book of Amish Peace
Of the three books I have read in the series, this is by far my favorite one. The premise is unlike no other Amish story I have read.
Tricia's books always stir up emotions in me, and have me evaluating my own relationship wit God, but this story had me looking at compassion and judgement in a whole new way. The fact that we all judge people, even the Amish do it, mad me stop a think quite a bit. Rebecca's parents were so harsh and judged her for her wanting a nursing education. They see it as an act towards God. Even though what she was doing and doing it for was good. She also judged herself for her choices. It's automatic to question yourself and your decisions, especially if they are big ones. From the outside looking in, I couldn't see why they got so upset, but it's just their way. It had me question what I act like. Do I quickly judge or prejudge people. Sadly, yes. And probably more than I care to admit.
Then there is this love story. Rebecca and Caleb. The whole world, even the reader knows it is meant to be with them. Thankfully they know too and there is no cat-and-mouse game, just good ole romance.
Another hit from Tricia, read in the series or stand alone. Though I urge you to read the series. They are each wonderful in their own way and carry different values in each.

Midland, Spencer Power Way To Win
The Midland Rockhounds had a seven-run first inning, highlighted by a grandslam from left-fielder Matt Spencer, and they cruised to a 16-8 win over Northwest Arkansas.
Alexander Valdez also homered in the first inning (his homer came immediately after Spencer's grandslam). Tom Everidge and Adrian Cardenas each drove-in three runs, while Chris Carter reached base four times and drove-in two. Josh Horton and Archie Gilbert each collected three hits. Gilbert also walked twice and stole his 14th base of the season. Matt Sulentic added two hits and two runs scored. Every Midland starter had at least one hit and one run scored in the game.
Gilbert extended his hitting streak to eight games. He is batting .322 on the season and .356 over his last 10 contests. The Midland lead-off hitter has a .418 OBP and 24 walks against 16 strike-outs this season. Horton is batting .383 over his last 10 games with two homers and 11 RBIs. He has his season average up to .299 and his OPS up to 766.
Carter's double on Wednesday gives him 21 on the season. He has a .490 SLG and an 886 OPS for Midland. Carter has walked 10 times in his last 10 games and is batting .395 over that stretch. Cardenas is batting .333 with a homer and 11 RBIs in nine games since being sent back to Midland from Triple-A Sacramento. Josh Donaldson, who had a double and two RBIs in Wednesday's contest, is batting .425 with two homers and 13 RBIs over his last 10 games. On the season, he is hitting .287 with five homers, 38 RBIs and an 889 OPS.
Carlos Hernandez, who got 12 runs of support his last time on the mound and 24 runs in his first Midland outing, benefited from the Midland offensive explosion once again to move to 3-0 with the Rockhounds. He allowed three runs in five innings to earn the win.
Gonzalez Brilliant In Sacramento Win
With Vince Mazzaro's promotion to the major leagues, Gio Gonzalez is doing his best to remind everyone that there is still a top pitching prospect on the River Cats' staff. The lefty notched his second consecutive solid start, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in six innings to earn his second win of the season in a 3-1 Sacramento victory over Salt Lake.
In his last two starts, Gonzalez has allowed only one run, four hits and five walks over 13 innings pitched. He has struck-out 11 in those two starts. His ERA is now 3.50 and he has 44 strike-outs in 43.2 innings and has allowed only 33 hits.
Gonzalez got some help from a stellar Sacramento bullpen. Ryan Webb worked 1.1 scoreless innings in relief, allowing only one hit. Jay Marshall worked a scoreless one-third of an inning and then Jeff Gray earned his fifth save of the season with 1.1 perfect innings. He struck-out three and lowered his ERA to 1.80 for the season.
Once again, the River Cats had just enough offense to win. Daric Barton, Eric Munson and Cliff Pennington each drove in a run. Chris Denorfia and Munson were the only two River Cats with multi-hit games, while Barton and Jeff Baisley each reached base twice. Denorfia is batting .310 with five walks and a homer over his last 10 games.
Kane County Wins Behind Smalley
Kenneth Smalley moved to 5-1 on the season with yet another outstanding outing for the Low-A Kane County Cougars. The right-hander tossed six shut-out innings, allowing only five hits and one walk. He struck-out four and lowered his ERA to 1.69 in the 3-1 Cougars' win.
Trey Barham (one scoreless inning with two strike-outs) and Justin Murray (two innings with one run allowed) combined to finish off the win for Smalley and the Cougars. Murray earned his second save of the season. Since joining the Cougars from extended spring training on May 25th, Barham has worked in three games, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in 4.1 innings. He has struck-out six.
Sluggers Grant Desme and Jeremy Barfield once again paced the Cougars' attack. Desme homered and walked in three at-bats. The A's 2007 second round pick has nine homeruns and a .516 SLG in 51 games for the Cougars. He is batting .284 on the season despite starting the year with an 0-20 slump. Desme has also stolen 15 bases in 15 tries. Barfield extended his hitting streak to six games. He is batting .462 with six RBIs over his last 10 games and is hitting .348 with four homers and a 937 OPS in 32 games this season.
Ports Split Series With San Jose
After starting the year 0-8 against the San Jose Giants, the High-A Stockton Ports had a chance to take a four-game series against their Bay Area rivals. It wasn't to be, however, as Stockton dropped the series finale by a score of 4-2 and had to settle for a split.
Ben Hornbeck got the start for Stockton, his third since being promoted from Kane County. He allowed two runs in the first and one in the second, but settled down after that before being pulled because of a high pitch count with two-outs in the fifth inning. In 4.2 innings, Hornbeck allowed three runs on six hits and two walks (one intentional). He struck-out seven. Hornbeck has 25 strike-outs in 14.2 innings for the Ports and 72 strike-outs in 51 total innings this season.
The Ports could only muster offense in the fifth inning against San Jose's pitching staff when Christian Vitters hit a two-run homerun. It was Vitters second homerun of the season. The third baseman is batting .277 with 13 RBIs in 20 games since joining the Ports from extended spring training.
A's 2008 first round pick Jemile Weeks had a double in four at-bats. The second baseman is off to a terrific start since being activated from extended spring training on May 27th. He has 11 hits in 33 at-bats, including a double and two homers. He has driven-in seven runs in seven games and has a 934 OPS. Jermaine Mitchell added a hit and a walk in the game. He is batting .300 over his last 10 games and has seven walks. The outfielder has a .364 OBP this season.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I work as and independent contractor for a courier service. I work m-f delivering, must wear a uniform, have a scheduled start time (but no end time), no sick days, no insurance & no vacation (paid or unpaid). I have not missed a day of work for almost 2 years.
My mother (age 70) lives in another country & has been staying with me for the past week. She takes medication for a heart condition & this morning we were afraid she was having a heart attack. I called my boss to tell him I wouldn't be at work because I needed to go to the ER. He argued with me for 20 minutes saying I couldn't miss work, i was not entitled to a day off, I should have given them more notice, etc. Basically if I didn't come to work I was fired.
Can he do this? Now I have a $5000 hospital bill and no job? Help!
There are several issues. First, you may actually be an employee, but misclassified as an independent contractor. For a summary of the issues relating to misclassification go to:
Second, if you are actually an employee, there may be violations of the Family Medical Leave Act or California Family Rights Act, which allow employees to take unpaid time off to care for a close relative.
Third, if you are actually an employee, you should be entitled to many benefits, including but not limited to unemployment benefits. Thus, you should consider applying for unemployment benefits after reviewing the criteria for determining whether you were actually an employee or independent contractor. You may also be entitled reimbursement of the employer's portion of your taxes paid as an independent contractor as well as reimbursement for expenses such as mileage.
You can file a FREE claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or you should immediately consult with an attorney to go over the specific facts of your case.
http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/howtofilewageclaim.htmAsk a similar question
Your employer would have very little chance of showing that you were not an employee. You dressed like an employee, you had a scheduled start time, you served your employer in a role in which an employee would serve, and he fired you for not showing up one day. You're an employee.
Having said that, you only have the right to take time off to care for your mother, or yourself, if the company has at least 50 employees within 75 miles of you. I would doubt that would be the case. You may, however, have the right to obtain unemployment in that you left your position for good cause.Ask a similar question
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's health, but very glad she has a child who cares for her as much as you do. I'm also sorry to hear that you work for such a callous employer.
If you really are an independent contractor, your employer doesn't owe you a thing. But you sure sound like an employee and not an independent contractor. If so, your employer probably owes you additional wages, unemployment and Social Security deposits, penalties and more. This can add up to quite a large amount. If you need attorney's fees to collect what is due to you – and most likely you will – the employer is also responsible for your attorney's fees.
The general rule is that a person is an independent contractor if the employer has the right to control or direct the RESULTS of the work but not HOW the work is done or even WHAT work is done.
Many employers misclassify workers as independent contractors and pay them as "1099 employees" when in fact they should be classified and paid as regular W-2 employees. Employers receive a substantial benefit from doing this, but there is NO benefit to the workers. If a worker is wrongly classified as an independent contractor instead of an employee, that worker will not be eligible for many benefits of employment or eligibility will be reduced. Areas affected include the right to:
– be paid for all hours worked or controlled by the employer;
– the legal minimum wage;
– overtime pay;
– rest and meal breaks;
– workers' compensation insurance;
– Social Security contributions;
– unemployment benefits;
– state disability benefits;
– employer benefits such as vacation, sick leave, pension, medical insurance, etc.
Also, in some states, including California, employers are subject to a penalty if they misclassify employees as independent contractors (see below).
There are different ways to determine if a worker is an employee or independent contractor. Employers must comply with all relevant laws.
FEDERAL TAX LAW: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) looks at three areas to determine a worker's status:
Behavioral Control – This area considers instructions and training. If the employer has the right to direct or control the work, even if it does not exercise that right, the worker is an employee. These instructions might include when to do the work, or how and where to do it; what equipment or tools to use; who the worker can hire or not hire to help get the work done; what supplies and services to buy, and/or where to buy them. If the employer trains the worker in required methods of doing the work or the procedures to get the work done, this is evidence the employer wants things done its way, which indicates the worker is an employee and not an independent contractor. Therefore, if the employer gives the worker detailed or extensive instructions on how to get the job done, the worker is probably an employee and not an independent contractor.
Financial Control – This area considers who has the right to direct and control the business, not just the work. The more of a financial or promotional investment the worker has made in the work, the more likely the worker is an independent contractor. However, there is no requirement for an investment in order to meet the definition of independent contractor. If the worker incurs expenses in performing the work but is not completely reimbursed, the worker is more likely to be an independent contractor rather than an employee, especially if these expenses are high. If the worker has the chance to make a profit or loss on the work, the worker is probably in business for himself or herself and therefore an independent contractor.

(continued from Answer above) Relationship of the Parties – If the worker does not receive benefits such as medical coverage, vacation, or pension, the worker may be an employee or an independent contractor. However, if the worker receives benefits, the worker is probably an employee. If the worker is an employee, the employer must withhold income tax and the employee's portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes. The employer must pay Social Security, Medicare and unemployment (FUTA) taxes on the wages the worker earns. The employer must give the worker an IRS Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, every year showing the amount of wages paid and taxes withheld from the worker's pay. As an employee, the worker has the right to deduct unreimbursed business expenses from the worker's taxes on IRS Schedule A if the worker itemizes deductions and meets the other requirements established by the IRS. If the worker is an independent contractor, the employer must give the worker an IRS Form 1099-MISC Miscellaneous Income to report what it has paid to the worker. The worker must pay his or her own income tax and self-employment tax, and may be required to make estimated tax payments during the year. The worker can deduct business expenses on IRS Schedule C of his or her income tax return. CALIFORNIA LAW: The main test in California is who has the right to direct and control the "manner and means" in which the job is performed. This is similar to the IRS' Behavioral Control described above. California then looks at secondary factors, which include: Are the services provided on a long-term or repeating basis? Is the worker paid based on the time spent working? Are the services an integral part of the employer's business? Does the employer establish the work hours? Does the employer determine how many hours will be worked? Does the employer dictate the order in which job tasks are to be performed? Does the worker spend all of his or her time working for one employer? Is the worker supervised? All of these factors tend to show the worker is an EMPLOYEE. Is the worker in a distinct occupation or trade? Are the worker's services available to the general public? Can the worker hire, supervise and pay assistants? Did the worker make a substantial investment in facilities or services? Does the worker do the job without supervision? Is the worker highly skilled or working in a specialized field? Does the worker supply the tools and other materials used to do the job? Does the worker provide the location in which the work is performed? Is the worker paid at the end of the project? All of these factors tend to show the worker is an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Also under California law, an employer can be fined for "willfully misclassifying" an employee as an independent contractor. The amount of the fine ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 per violation. If there is a "pattern and practice" of willful misclassification, the fine can increase to $25,000 per violation.

CELA is the largest and most influential bar association in the state for attorneys who represent working people. The web site is www.cela.org. Click on "Find a CELA Member" and you can search by location and practice area. Many CELA attorneys represent clients throughout the state. I hope you can resolve your situation and wish you the best.
In addition to the other responses, because it appears that you were an employee and not an independent contractor, your employer needed to provide your final paycheck on the date of employment termination. If you had to wait for it, you may be entitled to one day's pay for each day you had to wait PLUS attorneys' fees and if you ever worked more than 8 hours in one day or over 40 hours in one week, you may be entitled to overtime, interest, and attorneys' fees. If you feel you are owed wages or late payment penalties, call an employment law attorney or if you worked for at least 1 year for your employer and your employer had at least 50 employees within a 75 mile radious, contact an employment law attorney. 949-481-6909.Ask a similar question

FlightGear is a fantastic flight simulator with a huge variety of excellent aircraft, beautiful scenery, and realistic flight dynamics. It can be tricky to install, configure, and run, but the fun of it makes this effort well worth your time.
Great free sim with a lots of possibility.
