Stevens announcements about the Chinese situation
The RBA's Governor Glenn Stevens said that, China's slowdown in the growth target will still allow one measure of its gross domestic product to beat the euro zone in a few years even matches the U.S. economy in a decade.
Also, Stevens said that the Chinese growth slowdown from 10% to 8%, and according to some economists it's a major crash, yet to reduce the inflation rate some slowing was necessary and to put growth on a more sustainable path.
Although, Australia's economy grew at half the pace in 2011's last quarter and the unemployment rose last month for the first time since August, yet Stevens's confidence in China was underscored by the RBA's decision to pause interest-rate cuts for the past two months.

ASUS had much success selling the EEE PC since its launch in October 2007. With prices ranging from USD 399 to USD 550, this tiny laptop with a solid state hard drive sold over a million units within the 10 months.
While on a trip to Calcutta, India, I saw ASUS sold in roadshows & kiosks and the crowd interested in this tiny laptop (more popularly called netbook ) seemed to be school goers who spend a lot of their time messaging friends, browsing the internet & chatting.

Straban Township appoints 2 for tax-financing committee
There are 22 comments on the Evening Sun story from Oct 9, 2013, titled Straban Township appoints 2 for tax-financing committee. In it, Evening Sun reports that:
The Straban Township Board of Supervisors recommended two officials serve on a tax increment financing committee for the development of Discovery Gettysburg, a proposed active-adult community near Gettysburg.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Evening Sun.
#1 Oct 9, 2013
I thought this seemed like a smart idea. I was for it right from the beginning
#2 Oct 10, 2013
The developer of the proposed shopping center in Straban Township is also requesting TIF assistance. Do you support this proposal as well?
#3 Oct 10, 2013
Yes, I've always supported TIF if it would bring quality businesses to town.
I htought I had made that obvious a while ago
#4 Oct 11, 2013
Even if those businesses are not historically relevant?
#5 Oct 11, 2013
If they were quality bsuinesses that would benefit the community. We don't need any trashy little stores giving the town a plastic trinket appearance
#6 Oct 13, 2013
So you are OK with a Super Wal-mart or chain restaurant at the site of the proposed shopping center?
#7 Oct 14, 2013
It all should be in keeping with the history of the area. The zoning should be changed to only include businesses that are tied to our history. Wamart, chain resturants and shopping centers have a place, just not in Gettysburg. The aea should be reverted back to the 1800's and everyone should be required to wear period costumes to delight the tourists.
United States
#8 Oct 14, 2013
These hick morons already wear period dress: current-day hillbilly gear. Boots with horse manure in the treads, plaid flannel, blue jeans. Dumb locals.
#9 Oct 15, 2013
Unfortunatly Gettysburg is a tourist town that relies on the "atmosphere" of the area to attract people to come and spend time and money. With locals not getting into the spirit of the history it only detracts from the image of the community.
#10 Oct 15, 2013
Absolutely untrue. Gettysburg and it's history are important, but it's not the only game in town. Guess you didn't hear about the record turnout for Apple Harvest Festival this year? Did you go? Yes, people DO come to Gettysburg for things besides the battlefield. And people do live, work and raise their families here. What would cause this town to fail would be trying to keep this area like 1863. BTW, I did notice that you skirted the question I posed to you in post #6 of this thread. So how about an answer?
#11 Oct 15, 2013
I believe I addressed that question and answered it sufficiently. Obviously, you didn't like what I posted so you chose to ignore it, pity.
We need to keep Gettysburg historically correct. Unfortunatly, there have been to many years of those who were, "asleep at the wheel" so to speak and allowed undersirable businesses to infiltrate sacred land. Its time those types of businesses should be removed and zoning laws be tightened to only allow history themed businesses in the area. These businesses need to enhance the history and not detract from it
#12 Oct 15, 2013
The truth is that most visitors to Gettysburg today are not purists, and enjoy other attractions besides those which you consider acceptable. I would also love to hear your rationalization of how a huge housing development would be considered historically correct and a shopping center is not. Ready, set, go!
United States
#13 Oct 15, 2013
Stupid hick, your town bites wind. Apple Picking Festival? Really? You're counting on that?
You'd be better off taking the Gettysburg Child Rapists on an autograph signing tour of Denmark and Thailand.
Gettysburg slurps green diarrhea through a coffee stirrer.
#14 Oct 15, 2013
I count on not caring what you think. Take a hike, Jasper.
#15 Oct 16, 2013
please re-read my post
#16 Oct 16, 2013
Which one?
#17 Oct 16, 2013
the ones that continually tell you how I have my finger on the pulse of Gettysburg. My vast knowledge on matters in around Gettysburg has made me a valued part of the community.
After those in local government discovered that I am a direct descendant of a famous Civil War figure its no wonder my staus in around the community was elevated to such a high level.
Some, such as yourself, try to discredit me but I won't be deterred by petty squabbling by some locals. I realize its done out of jealousy, and don't let it bother me.
#18 Oct 16, 2013
If you are such an important and valued member of the community, why is it nobody has ever heard of you here?
I haven't heard anyone here making any of the statements you have been making, and I am sure if they had, it would have made the local newspapers, especially with your claimed relationship to a "famous Civil War" figure.
United States
#19 Oct 16, 2013
Child Rape makes the local newspapers because Gettysburg Men have done a lot of child molesting and other forms of sexual abuse lately in Gettysburg.
Gettysburg: The Child Rape Capital of the United States.
United States
#20 Oct 16, 2013
What kind of town counts on an Apple Picking Festival for its economic well-being? A desperate cesspool with NO other options: Gettysburg.
What kind of moron champions these little meaningless flea markets and bake sales in a lame attempt to make Gettysburg look good? You: a dumb hick.

"Black and White"
The simple elegance of black and white has always been an aesthetic lure, from costume designer Cecil Beaton's black-and-white Ascot scene in My Fair Lady to Truman Capote's Black and White Ball at the Plaza Hotel in 1966, termed by some the party of the century. But even Capote found the need for a splash of color — the tablecloths at the ball were red. No such variation is to be found in "Black and White" on exhibit at Gallery Sonja Roesch. The group show's ten artists adhere strictly to the show's black and white mandate. The pieces are either painted or constructed, and use either new or found materials. Even though they are reduced to the essentials, the results vary drastically with oil paintings, Plexiglas, wall illusions, river-submerged canvases and more on display. The artists are Ruth Pastine, Hills Snyder, Mario Reis, Gilbert Hsiao, Raimund Girke, David Simpson, Myke Venable, Mac Whitney, Alma Tischler and Dirk Rathke.
Gallery Sonja Roesch, 2309 Caroline. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays. Through June 28. For information, call 713-659-5424 or visit gallerysonjaroesch.com. Free.

I know some moms who are truly creative artists, it is not something I do, not very creative in that way; so when I found this Ignatian exploration of God and faith, I had to blog about it.
This type of journaling takes you deeper into the bible passage you are reading/studying. It takes your creative talents to express your deepest feelings and meaning out of what you have read. You become intimate with God and His word.

The Princess Comes Across
William K. Howard
This film's screening has
passed already
passed already
Seamlessly blending mistaken-identity romance with high-seas whodunit, this charming caper from William K. Howard has it all. Hoping to land a movie contract, Brooklyn girl Wanda Nash (the ever-game Carole Lombard) dons her best Garbo accent and pretends to be Swedish Princess Olga while crossing the Atlantic. Unbeknownst to her, she's picked a boat full of blackmailers, thieves and con men—not to mention Fred MacMurray as the cool concertina-playing bandleader King Mantell.

Total ankle arthroplasty provides an alternative to arthrodesis for management of ankle arthritis. What is the outcome of total ankle arthroplasty implants currently in use? We conducted a systematic literature search of studies reporting on the outcome of total ankle arthroplasty. We included peer-reviewed studies reporting on at least 20 total ankle arthroplasties with currently used implants, with a minimum followup of 2 years. The Coleman Methodology Score was used to evaluate the quality of the studies. Thirteen Level IV studies of overall good quality reporting on 1105 total ankle arthroplasties (234 Agility™, 344 STAR, 153 Buechel-Pappas™, 152 HINTEGRA®, 98 Salto™, 70 TNK, 54 Mobility™) were included. Residual pain was common (range, 27%–60%), superficial wound complications occurred in 0% to 14.7%, deep infections occurred in 0% to 4.6% of ankles, and ankle function improved after total ankle arthroplasty. The overall failure rate was approximately 10% at 5 years with a wide range (range, 0%–32%) between different centers. Superiority of an implant design over another cannot be supported by the available data.
Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Wrestling, taekwondo joins SportAccord exodus
By Karolos Grohmann
MUNICH (Reuters) - The international wrestling federation (UWW) and the world taekwondo federations (WTF) on Monday pulled out of the sports umbrella organization SportAccord until relations improve following a row with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
"Our decision, which is based on our full commitment to the Olympic Movement and its leadership, implies that for the time being, United World Wrestling shall refrain to participate in the activities and games organized by SportAccord, until the relations with ASOIF has improved to the latter's satisfaction," UWW President Nenad Lalovic said in a statement.
The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) has suspended links with SportAccord after its President Marius Vizer's scathing attack on the IOC last month.
"This was a difficult decision, in particular as we have worked closely with SportAccord in the past to secure additional opportunities for wrestling and traditional wrestling," Lalovic said.
"I sincerely hope that the crisis within SportAccord can be resolved soon, in the best interest of sport."
The WTF also joined the string of departures following a board meeting on Monday.
"After consultation with the WTF members, the WTF Council has unanimously decided to suspend the WTF's membership with SportAccord with immediate effect," WTF President Chungwon Choue said.
"It is with regret that taekwondo will not participate in the World Combat Games. However, we will continue to promote taekwondo and the Olympic values around the world and develop our sport for our athletes and our millions of fans worldwide. Continued...


text: These are my system specs: Motherboard: Intel DG965RY (latest bios version) CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13ghz 2mb L2 Cache RAM: 2x2gb, 2x1gb DDR2 800mhz (PC6400) memory, totalling 6gb Video: 256mb MSI NX8600-GTS OC (Nvidia 8600 GTS series) When installing windows 7, it took about 2 or 3 hours. This was particularly a problem during the 'copying files', 'extracting files', and 'migrating settings' phases. Often times, it would get to about 14%, and stop there for up to 10-20 minutes, with zero progress being made during that time. On bootup, it gets past the glowing windows logo part pretty quickly, but the 'welcome' screen is even slower than it was in Vista. Once I see my taskbar, it takes forever to actually be able to run anything because it's spending another 2-3 minutes trying to finish loading here. Chuggin' slowly. Once that's finally done, I get decent performance. I don't have anything running at startup other than poweriso, avg, and intel audio studio. The rest are stuff that windows provides automatically. Nothing unusual is running in the task manager process tree, either. Now, Vista had similar problems when I -freshly- installed it, but not nearly as bad as this. The reason I upgraded instead of fresh installed, is because 64-bit windows installs have a major problem with my hardware. For some reason, 64-bit vista or windows 7 during a fresh install at bootup use up 100% of my CPU even when idle, even after the install is finished, and I must reboot after the slooooooow installation is complete to get normal performance. I'm aware this is a windows 7 board, not a vista board, but the problem persists into 7. Is my system too weak for 64-bit? Or is this a problem with 64-bit 7 (and vista) with my hardware? Others I spoken to say their installations went smooth and quick, especially in comparison to mine.

When asked if the Patriots have interest in safety Ed Reed, who was waived by the Texans on Tuesday, Bill Belichick said today: "I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment on players that aren't on our team."
Earlier, Belichick was asked about the process the Patriots go through to determine if they will sign a player that gets waived such as Reed.
He explained that the team usually has an indication that a player could become available, which allows time for the personnel department to gather more intelligence.
"We try to stay ahead of that, and of course, sometimes that depends on what our situation is," he said. "There are a lot of players that could be available out there [and] if you have a need at a certain position and it's a fit, then you're more interested or more apt to do something."
Along those lines, Belichick was asked his thoughts on the Patriots' safety spot, where starters Devin McCourty and Steve Gregory have been backed up by rookie Duron Harmon, with 2012 second-round pick Tavon Wilson and special teamer Nate Ebner rounding out the depth chart.
Gregory broke his right thumb on Nov. 3 and was expected to miss a "few weeks" at the time, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
"I think overall, we've had pretty solid play out of the five guys," Belichick said, noting that Wilson and Ebner have missed some time with injuries with their primary contributions coming on special teams.
"Devin, Steve and Duron have kind of been in a little bit of a 3-for-2 situation, or sometimes 3-for-3 when we go to a dime defense and all of them are on the field at the same time. … I think those guys have all worked hard and when they've been on the field have all been solid contributors. We've certainly had a lot less problems this year than we had last year, the last couple years, with balls getting thrown over our head. We've made more plays on the ball back there. That's been a pretty solid part of our defense. Tackling has been good; not perfect, but good in terms of not giving up big plays.
"There is always room for improvement and you always get tested every week, like I'm sure we will this week with a guy like Cam Newton. He can launch it as far as any anybody, [they have] a good group of receivers. It doesn't really matter what we've done before, it will be what we do this week."

The reference in your editorial to "low-skill sectors such as social care" exemplifies so many problems ("Time to learn from post-crash economics", Comment). Caring is not low skill. It is hugely demanding and needs a broad skill set – empathy, basic pharmacology, low gag reflex. I have a PhD and years of academic experience but faced with the task of nursing my elderly mother I floundered.
The problem is presumably that the skills needed for caring are the traditional "womanly" skills and these have always been belittled and devalued by the job market. This is why the people who perform this most crucial (and skilled) of functions are paid miserable wages, have to cope with zero-hours contracts and are being laid off because politicians think anyone can do their job. And should. For no money.

Feminists, face the ugly facts
If we really want to challenge the sexism in our culture, then there are two uncomfortable truths for feminists to confront ("Maybe we can develop an app for gender equality", News). The first is that the prediction that ubiquitous sexually explicit material in the mass media would be hugely socially harmful was right. It is difficult to uphold female dignity in an ultra-permissive society. The second is that female repression is so persistent because women are complicit in it.
History is full of women spurring each other on to damage their bodies out of sexual competitiveness: foot-binding, corsets, plastic surgery, high heels, excessive slimming. Tell it straight and teach our daughters that women who place physical beauty above character, intelligence and wellbeing are mugs, morally wrong, or both.

School sums don't add up
Innumerate politicians are squabbling over "facts" about the relative performance of a handful of free schools ("'False' data on free schools attacked", News) when neither party realises these numbers are not statistically significant. Compared with the other 21,162 state schools in England, they would not be meaningful even on a longer timescale, unless there were a really marked difference.
When New Labour introduced "value added" measures, the Department of Education didn't understand that individual Sats results for each child at primary school, and not their levels of attainment, had to be compared with GCSE results to have any semblance of validity. Silliest of all are the new tables for "GCSE and equivalent results" for pupils in each council ward. The results are for schools and not the local population, leaving some very odd blanks and distortions in the data, while A-level results are only given at the local education authority level. If the Ucas system can access university applicants' full postcodes, then why can't exam boards and the Department of Education get their act together?

Take the long view on the UK
Your articles on housing and energy reinforced the general point that we should be planning for posterity, not austerity. The UK has been living off capital for decades when it should have been investing. As a consequence, social divides have widened. We should learn from countries such as France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, which all have state investment banks and local authorities that take a much longer and wider perspective. A short-term freeze on energy or any other prices is not enough.

The fathers who suffer still
Yvonne Roberts's article about adoption ("I lost my son for 29 years", Magazine) captured the pain of birth mothers but unfairly dismissed the grief of birth fathers in one sentence: "The men, at worst, had to endure shotgun marriages." Celia Witney's research, published in 2004, showed that nearly 80% of birth fathers saw the emotional impact of the adoption as deeper and more lasting than anything else in their lives. I am one of the 1960s' generation of birth fathers who have found it difficult to deal with the loss. Many of us felt we had let down the mother as well as the baby.

Railroaded by the railway
While it is right that any profits from a publicly subsidised service should be returned to the public purse ("Profitable and publicly owned – so why sell it?", News), the state-owned Directly Operated Railways appear to have adopted Ryanair as their business model: ruthlessly enforcing the conditions of carriage in circumstances where a bit of humanity, common sense, or simply understanding that running the trains is not an end in itself, would suggest some flexibility is in order. While passengers should pay for the service they are using, it is equally important for a company to ensure that clients should get the service they have paid for.

But life is not always sweet. With war and love how will the two lovebirds deal with it all? With a nine-month rollercoaster how will Ginny and Harry get on?
It was 02:00am in the morning and harry woke up to the sound of someone being sick. Harry ran to the bathroom to see Ginny throwing up in the toliet. He rushed over to her and held her hair back.
"Are you ok?" Harry said rubbing Ginny on the back.
"I think so" Ginny replied.
Ginny looked up for a minute and passed out, harry caught her. He looked worried at the now passed out Ginny in his lap. Harry picked Ginny up and carried her into the living room and lay her on the sofa. Harry gently kissed Ginny until she was awake.
"Do you feel any better?" Harry asked Ginny
"Yes a bit" Ginny replied kissing harry on the cheek.
Ginny had been having this morning sickness for a while now, she hoped she would not get ot today because Hermione was coming over this morning to visit. Ginny got dressed at went down for breakfast, waiting for Hermione to come over. Luckily Ginny did not get morning sickness today so she felt happier. Harry had already gone out to work and would be back about 6:00pm. Hermione knocked on the door and Ginny ran to answer it.
"Hello, Gin" Hermione said walking through the door.
"Hi Hermione" Ginny replied sitting down on the sofa.
"So how are you and Harry?' Hermione asked.
"Good how are you and Ron?" Ginny replied.
"Good Ron-
Ginny stood up and ran to the bathroom Hermione could hear Ginny throwing up in the toliet. Hermione rushed to Ginny and held her hair back.

"Are you ok?" Hermione asked.
"I think so" Ginny replied but as she said that she was sick again.
"Ginny how long have you had this for?" Hermione asked.
"A month" Ginny replied catching her breath.
"Ginny you don't think you are pregnant do you?" Hermione asked.
"What? No!" Ginny replied.
"Will be back in a minute going to get a muggle pregnancy test" Hermione said standing up.
"I am not pregnant" Ginny cried after her but she was gone.
Hermione gave Ginny a muggle pregnancy test and left. Ginny was in the bathroom using the pregnancy test.
'I am not pregnant, I am not pregnant' Ginny thought to herself.
Ginny waited a minute and looked down at the pregnancy test.
It read: Positive.

Stroke is the leading cause of permanent disability, including post-stroke dementia, pain, depression, and personality changes. While large clinical trials reflect information about large stroke populations, the presentation of each and every stroke patient is individual and special. More Case Studies in Stroke presents a new selection of stroke cases from seven countries prepared by practising stroke physicians. The book includes both common and unusual cases, as well as misleading cases of diseases mimicking stroke. The aim is to reinforce diagnostic skills through careful analysis of individual presenting patterns, and to guide treatment decisions. Each case consists of a clinical history, examination findings and special investigations, followed by diagnosis and discussion. The outline of the actual diagnostic process, including the use of modern diagnostic tools, decision making and course, challenge the reader at all stages of their career from medical students to neurologists and stroke physicians.

APRIL IS POETRY MONTH: 'Uproar: Antiphonies to Psalms' by Brooks Haxton
As he writes in his preface, "I take psalms less as doctrine than as outcries, and I cry back in these poems from whatever vantage I can find." The result is lucid, touching verse that connects the exalted language of scripture with everyday experience. In a poem called "Dark," for example, Haxton riffs on the gorgeous line "The night also is thine" (Psalm 74) as he stands on his front stoop on a particularly black night. "Thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures" (Psalm 36) brings forth a poem about the perilous joy of bodysurfing. And his response to Psalm 58, "The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance," becomes a poem about Westmoreland in Vietnam.
These vibrant scraps of ancient text reverberate with intimations of the immediate present, and Haxton's poetry, in response, is fresh, funny, and tender. In the pain of doubt, and even in the burlesque of irreverence, he explores the mystery of our abiding passion for the sacred.
Fists I Thought Were Made To Hold the Reins
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse...He maketh peace... - Psalm 147
Catfish, lacking scales, are beautiful
in their repulsive way, but they will give you
an infected wound if you're not careful.
The filets I rubbed with cayenne, chili, salt,
and ginger, skillet hot and dry, then drowned
with lemon. Even the kids, who don't eat fish,
left none. My wife and I stopped brooding,
and my right hand opened with me staring
into the empty palm, long having, if I ever
knew, forgotten when and how the reins
slipped free. I love equestrians,
but I let go the reins, unlike my heroes,
lacking their authority, and wishing now
to lack my lack as well. An unimaginable horse
is rippling at a gallop far away, unshod,
with hoofbeats as impermanent as stars.

Pollo Asado
Mexican dishes are delicious, including pollo asado (pictured), carne asada, gorditas, cochinita pibil and arroz con pollo. Jonesin' for something sweet? Try mole or champurrados, 2 traditional Mexican dishes made with chocolate.
Angel of Independence
We enjoy sightseeing in some of Mexico's biggest cities, including Tijuana, Puebla, Guadalajara, Ecatepec de Morelos. Don't forget to stop by El Ángel de la Independencia (pictured) aka The Angel of Independence in Mexico City. The Angel was built to commemorate the centennial of the beginning of Mexico's War of Independence, celebrated in 1810.
Dia de los Muertos
Mexicans take their festivals and celebrations seriously, and Dia de los Muertos is no different. Day of the Dead, a national holiday, is a special time when families honor the deceased with parades, private alters, leaving gifts on graves and eating favorite foods and beverages of the dearly departed. Cinco de Mayo, Sombrero Festival and Under the Volcano are a few other Mexican celebrations.
We love the passion of Mexican soccer fans, and what's not to love about watching an exciting game at Estadio Azteca. Fútbol aka soccer is the most popular sport in Mexico, followed by boxing, charrería, baseball, basketball, lucha libre and bullfighting.
Explore ancient ruins at Tulum, one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayan. It's located along the east coast the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea. There are 3 major structures: El Castillo (pictured), the Temple of the Frescoes and the Temple of the Descending God.
Tamales can be traced back to the ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations when they were used as portable food to support their armies, but also to feed hunters and travelers. According to taste, this tasty treat can be filled with meats, cheese, fruits, vegetables, chilies and a variety of other ingredients.
Los Cabos
Take a trip to Los Cabos, one of Mexico's renowned beach vacation destinations. We also enjoy relaxing on the beaches in Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita, Cancun, La Paz and Playa del Carmen.
Lopez and Longoria
We enjoy watching comedian and actor George Lopez and actress Eva Longoria. Other well-known actors of Mexican descent include Delores Del Rio, Gael Garcia Bernal, Anthony Quinn and Ricardo Montalban.
Mexican Beer
We enjoy sipping on a Corona, one of the best-selling beers in Mexico and one of the top-selling beers worldwide. Dos Equis, Modelo Especial, Estella, Noche Buena and Carta Blanca are a few other popular beers brewed in Mexico. And we can't forget about a few of our favorite Mexican spirits like tequila, mescal and pulque.
Oscar de la Hoya
Boxing is one of Mexico's most popular sports. We enjoy watching boxing and admire former boxer Oscar De La Hoya for being the first American of Hispanic decent to start his own boxing promotional firm.
We love the Mexicans' sense of adventure. Go kayaking on the Sea of Cortez, fishing in La Paz, hiking in the Copper Canyon, golfing in Puerto Vallarta or diving along the Yucatan's Caribbean Coast.
We marvel at the pyramids of Teotihuacán, located near Mexico City. Take a stroll down the Avenue of the Dead, from the Pyramid of the Sun to the Pyramid of the Moon.
Selma Hayek
Mexican-American Selma Hayek is known as one of the first Latina actresses to establish a successful film career in the US, but she's also known for her work behind the camera as a producer and director.
We enjoy eating the popular Mexican street food, quesadillas, a flour or corn tortilla filled with a savory mixture containing cheese and other ingredients.

Formed in Deptford, London, England in 1974, Squeeze came to prominence in the late 70s as one of the most talented of the new wave of post-punk bands. After playing for a brief period as Captain Trundlow's Sky Company, original members Chris Difford (guitar/vocals), Glenn Tilbrook (guitar/vocals), and Jools Holland (keyboards/vocals) named the band after a disreputable Velvet Underground album. With the addition of Harry Kakoulli (bass; ex-England's Glory), and original drummer Paul Gunn replaced by Gilson Lavis, Squeeze released an EP, Packet Of Three, in 1977 on the Deptford Fun City label. Featuring the tracks 'Cat On The Wall', 'Night Ride' and 'Backtrack', it was produced by former Velvet Underground member John Cale. The EP's title in itself reflected the preoccupation of the band's main songwriters, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, with England's social underclass.
The release of Packet Of Three led to a recording contract with A&M Records (an earlier major label flirtation with RCA Records had proved unsuccessful) and a UK Top 20 hit in 1978 with 'Take Me I'm Yours'. Minor success with 'Bang Bang' and 'Goodbye Girl' that same year was followed in 1979 by two number 2 hits with 'Cool For Cats' and 'Up The Junction'. Difford's lyrics were by now beginning to show an acute talent in capturing the flavour of contemporary south London life, with a sense of the tragi-comic most evident on the sublime 'Up The Junction'. This began to flower fully with the release of 1980's Argybargy, which spawned the singles 'Another Nail In My Heart' (UK Top 20) and the sublime 'Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)'. The set was Squeeze's most cohesive album to date; having finally thrown off any remaining traces of a punk influence, they now displayed some of the finest 'kitchen sink' lyrics since Ray Davies' peak. The album also featured the band's new bass player, John Bentley.
In 1980, Holland left for a solo career that included performing and recording with his band, Jools Holland And The Millionaires (which displayed his talent for the 'boogie-woogie' piano style) and hosting the UK television show The Tube. His replacement was singer/pianist Paul Carrack, formerly with pub-rock band Ace. He appeared on East Side Story, which was mainly produced by Elvis Costello (with Dave Edmunds handling opening track 'In Quintessence'). Carrack stamped his mark on the album with his excellent performance on 'Tempted' and with the success of 'Labelled With Love', a UK Top 5 hit, the album became the band's most commercial to date. Carrack departed soon afterwards to join Carlene Carter's group, and was replaced by Don Snow. The follow-up, Sweets From A Stranger, was an uneven affair, although it did spawn the superb minor hit 'Black Coffee In Bed'.
In 1982, at the height of their success, amid intense world tours, including selling out New York's Madison Square Garden, Difford And Tilbrook dissolved the band. However, the duo continued to compose together, releasing an album in 1984. The following year they re-formed Squeeze with Lavis, the returning Holland, and a new bass player, Keith Wilkinson. Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti was hailed as a return to form, and although not supplying any hit singles, the tracks 'King George Street', 'I Learnt How To Pray', and Difford/Holland's 'Heartbreaking World' stood out. The line-up was augmented on tour by a supplementary keyboard player, first Holland's brother Christopher Holland and then Robyn Hitchcock associate Andy Metcalfe. In 1987 Squeeze achieved their highest position in the UK singles chart for almost six years when 'Hourglass' reached number 16 and subsequently gave the band their first US Top 40 hit, climbing one place higher. '853-5937' repeated the transatlantic success, breaking into the Top 40 a couple of months later. The accompanying album, Babylon And On, featured further contributions from Metcalfe.
After the release of 1989's Frank, which contained one of the most sensitive lyrics ever written by a man about menstruation ('She Doesn't Have To Shave'), Holland departed once again to concentrate on television work. With Matt Irving joining as a second keyboard player, Squeeze released a live album, A Round And A Bout, on their old Deptford Fun City label in 1990, before signing a new recording contract with Warner Brothers Records. The release of Play confirmed and continued Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook's reputation as one of the UK's finest songwriting teams, with 'Gone To The Dogs' and 'Wicked And Cruel' particularly resonant of earlier charms. A number of guest keyboard players joined Difford, Tilbrook, Lavis and Wilkinson on tour, including the returning Snow, Carol Isaacs and Steve Nieve of the Attractions. Long-serving drummer Lavis was then replaced by another member of the Attractions, Pete Thomas. The 1993 album Some Fantastic Place saw Difford and Tilbrook reunited with A&M Records and former bandmate Carrack, although there was some critical carping about their insistence on a group format that did not always augur well for their more adroit and sober compositions. One of the best tracks, 'Third Rail', returned Squeeze to the UK Top 40. Both Thomas and Carrack departed the line-up during the following year, with session drummer Andy Newmark and former member Metcalfe both helping out on a tour which featured singer-songwriter Aimee Mann.
Difford and Tilbrook recorded 1995's Ridiculous with Keith Wilkinson and new drummer Kevin Wilkinson (no relation), with additional keyboards from former associate Don Snow aka John Savannah. The set was Squeeze's strongest album in years, showing them back to writing sharp, humorous yet provocative lyrics on the up-tempo tracks and poignant love songs on the ballads. The lively 'Electric Trains', for example, managed to make the unlikely pairing of Julie Andrews and Jerry Garcia in one lyric! 'Grouch Of The Day' cleverly delivered self-deprecating honesty, while the minor hit 'This Summer' has the wonderful lyric: 'nights we spent out of control like two flags wrapped around a pole'. This was a tremendous set of songs that strangely missed the record-buying public by a mile, leaving many to wonder if they had fallen into cult obscurity in the same manner as those other outstanding craftsmen of the classic English pop single, Andy Partridge of XTC and Ray Davies of the Kinks. Like Davies and Partridge, Difford and Tilbrook were still writing perfect hooks and middle eights mixed with intelligent, interesting, and often bitingly accurate observations of life.
Following the demise of A&M Records, Squeeze issued Domino on their own Quixotic Records label. They displayed the material to the music market place in Cannes at the annual MIDEM festival in January 1999 by playing a blistering set. With little fanfare, the album was issued in the UK, and proved to be yet another gem, rife with great songs and melody. Featuring Christopher Holland (keyboards), Hilaire Penda (bass) and Ashley Soan (drums, ex-Del Amitri), this version of Squeeze sounded as good as any previous incarnation. Stand-out tracks included the painfully observant tale of the result of family divorce, 'To Be A Dad', and the honest confession of infidelity, 'Sleeping With A Friend'. Difford and Tilbrook proved they were still capable of writing top-notch material from their hearts, without pandering to musical trends. Sadly, these prized upholders of the great English pop song tradition disbanded Squeeze not long afterwards. Tilbrook released his solo debut, The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook, in summer 2001. Difford followed suit in 2002 with I Didn't Get Where I Am.

Bush was responding to a wave of corporate scandals at some of the country's biggest companies that has undermined investor confidence and threatened political damage to the White House.
He said: 'We will use the full weight of the law to expose and root out corruption.' He proposed doubling the maximum prison term for certain types of fraud to 10 years and strengthening laws outlawing document shredding and other forms of obstruction of justice.
He also announced a new task force for the pursuit and prosecution of corporate criminal activity. Bush likened it to a 'financial crimes swat team.'
Wall Street appeared unexcited about the changes, many of which had been made public before the speech. Stocks drifted mostly lower while Bush spoke, but the losses were in keeping with the tone of trading earlier in the session.
'I don't think the speech had that much of an impact. Everybody expects him to say something that's going to foster some kind of confidence in corporate America,' said Jack Francis, managing director and head of Nasdaq trading at UBS Warburg. 'I think actions speak louder than words. If somebody goes to jail, maybe people will take corporate America a little more seriously.'
Bush said the mushrooming corporate scandals threaten economic recovery and the financial well-being of workers. 'The business pages of American newspapers should not read like a scandal sheet,' Bush said. 'I am calling for a new ethic of personal responsibility in the business community - an ethic that will increase investor confidence, make employees proud of their companies and regain the trust of the American people.'
Bush, wearing a Big Apple lapel pin, spoke from a hotel ballroom on Wall Street. He pledged to:
Enhance the ability of the Securities and Exchange Commission to freeze improper payments to corporate executives while a company is under investigation.
Persuade publicly traded companies to prevent bosses from receiving loans from their own companies.
Ask stock markets to require that a majority of a company's directors - and all members of the company's audit, nominating and compensation committees - have no material relationship with the company so that they are truly independent.
On Monday, Bush was bombarded by questions about his own record as a director at Harken Energy in the early Nineties. The SEC forced the company to amend its books to reflect millions of dollars in losses that had been hidden by the sale of a subsidiary to a group of insiders.
The President said: 'There was an honest difference of opinion as to how to account for a complicated transaction.'
Bush, who was on the company's audit committee, was the subject of a separate insider-stock trade investigation. The SEC took no action against Bush in that inquiry, which also found he had disclosed his sales of Harken stock later than the law requires on four occasions.

The 47-year-old French First Lady was secretly pictured earlier this year in a bikini, and is suing for invasion of privacy.
The barrister defending Closer magazine, which caused a public furore last month when it published topless photos of Kate Middleton, said:
"You can still be dignified with a bit of cellulite. Valerie Trierweiler is a grown woman who knew these harmless photos would be taken."
In a statement, Closer's controversial editor Laurence Pieau wrote:
"How dare she complain? She was on a private beach in full view of the boats hired by the paparazzi. In other words, she must have known."
In defence of publishing the pictures of a topless Kate, she also said that the photos were not shocking:
"They show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches."
It seems Pieau wouldn't seem to mind if personal pictures of her were surreptitiously taken, published, viewed and commented on by millions...Reuse content

- Hexameter | Glossary Terms
A metrical line of six feet, most often dactylic, and found in Classical Latin or Greek poetry, including Homer's Iliad. In English, an iambic hexameter line is also known as an alexandrine. Only a few poets have written in dactylic hexameter, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in the long poem Evangeline:
Now had the season returned, when the nights grow colder and longer,
And the retreating sun the sign of the Scorpion enters.
Birds of passage sailed through the leaden air, from the ice-bound,
Desolate northern bays to the shores of tropical islands.

Trade Balance
Tuesday, July 19, 8:30 a.m.
The foreign trade deficit for goods and services is projected to narrow slightly to $8 billion in May, from $8.4 billion in April. That's the median forecast of economists surveyed by MMS International, a division of McGraw-Hill Inc. For goods alone, however, the trade deficit probably widened to $12.4 billion in May, from $12 billion in April. Exports, which fell 4.2% in April, rebounded slightly, while imports continued to increase for the fifth consecutive month. If the forecast proves right, the foreign trade sector, which robbed more than one percentage point from growth in the first quarter, could have been a drag in the second quarter as well.

- reinforced plastic outer shell, 0.8mm Steel body ATX Full Tower
- USB2.0 x 2, audio x 1, MIC x 1 Front Ports
- 5 External 5.25" Drive Bays
- 5 Internal 3.5" Drive Bays
Just bought 11/20/2010
This review is from: SilverStone RAVEN RV02B-EW Matte black reinforced plastic outer shell, 0.8mm Steel body ATX Full Tower Computer Case
The new design is everything you could ask for, its still sleek and quiet but the new fans help pull more cool air into the case. The case only comes with one bay that's hot-swap able if you want more you have to upgrade. overall this case a good buy
I would rather have seen an ssd mount that held 2 2.5 SSD's instead of one because there is enough room back there. i have done it myself since silverstone didn't. Instead of 5 hot-swap able bays 4 could have been done and kept that 8th expansion bay. those are the only REAL cons. overall the case is still worth the money
Other Thoughts:
I bought this from another vender because with tax and shipping it came out to $181.99 sorry newegg im a loyal customer but you guys fell short on the pricing. :(

Human activities emit 60 or more times the amount of carbon dioxide released by volcanoes each year.
Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull Volcano roared to life on April 14, 2010, injecting billowing clouds of steam and volcanic ash into the atmosphere.
In this short video from ClimateCentral, host Jessica Harrop explains what evidence scientists have for claiming that recent global warming is caused by humans and is not just part of a natural cycle.
This is a classroom activity about the forcing mechanisms for the most recent cold period: the Little Ice Age (1350-1850). Students receive data about tree ring records, solar activity, and volcanic eruptions during this time period. By comparing and contrasting time intervals when tree growth was at a minimum, solar activity was low, and major volcanic eruptions occurred, they draw conclusions about possible natural causes of climate change and identify factors that may indicate climate change.

Memory & Hope
I sank back down into the water. As I did so, I finally noticed how... calming it was to be submerged, with the water flowing over and around me, without needing to hold my breath or surface for air. It was wonderful, really, and I suddenly realized how little I had ever taken the time to savor the joys of life during my adventuring days.
Which of course was why I had been returning to the land of my birth when I got caught up in this.
Something suddenly occurred to me as the grotto's crystal light sparkling off the treasures refracted through the water in broken beams before my bemused eyes.
The mermaids had said the land of humans was not far from here.
It had to be Lilyden. The small province where I had been born.
I closed my eyes, the beauty of the dazzling light in the water paling to my rosy-hued memories of Lilyden. In the spring, lilies sprouted all over the valleys, carpeting them in oranges and pinks and whites. In the evenings, frogs would chorus in croaks while resting upon silvery lilypads. The moonlight would paint the lilies in pastels, the sunlight in brilliant colors.
I remembered running through the trees and lilies as a young boy, chasing after deer. Now, I'm sure they were simply spooked by me, but back then it seemed that they were playing tag with me, darting to and fro.
And I could run. I've always been in tip top shape, especially once I grew into manhood. Running is one of my great skills. It serves me well when escaping from collapsing ruins or chasing after bounties when the trap didn't go as planned.
But when I was small, I ran not for a reason, but for the sheer joy of it.
I hadn't been to Lilyden in nearly ten years. But it still haunted my dreams. And now, adventuring had lost its thrill. I desired nothing more than to get home.
So... thoughts spun through my head. If I could take the mermaids with me, I could work around the geas and swim up to Lilyden. I could take some of this treasure with me and use it to pay a mage to un-magick me.
My aqua-breath quickened as hope welled up inside me.

MonoCross is a C# .NET Model-view-controller (MVC) framework where the Model and Controller are shared across platforms and the View is implemented for every specific platform and/or target architecture. It allows the development of both native and HTML5 web apps that share business logic and data code. The pattern enables cross-platform portability of business logic and data access code, (Model + Controller), while supporting full, native and/or platform-specific presentation (Views). [1] This enables separation of the presentation layer, (View) from the application code (Model + Controller). This modification enables portability of application code across multiple platform targets.
It uses MonoTouch to produce native iOS applications for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, Mono for Android to creating native Android applications, and ASP.NET to support HTML5 apps using AJAX, CSS, and Javascript. [2]
The framework is mentioned in books,[3][4] and is being used by large Fortune 500 enterprises in production. [5]

Clifford Chance has seen its average profit per equity partner (PEP) break £1m for the first time.
PEP has increased by 25 per cent in the last year, from £814,000 last year to £1.015m this year.
Managing partner David Childs said: "This progress is true testament to the hard work and high calibre of our people everywhere in our network and the strength of our client relationships."
The magic circle firm's provisional figures, which will be finalised in July once they have been audited, shows that revenue increased by 16 per cent from £1.029bn to £1.194bn.
Clifford Chance said that excluding the effect of exchange rate changes, underlying growth was 18 per cent.
Childs added: "Each of our regions in Asia, Europe and the Americas has performed extremely well and, given current market conditions, we are well positioned to achieve future growth."

A Guest who Cannot be Anything Other
Evie and Ray were escorted to a room inside the castle. The castle itself was so large, that her entire sprite ring could live inside and not see a peep of each other for days. It was built to impress, she supposed, to emphasise the might of this particular kingdom, whatever it was.
"Stay here," a guard ordered. "Please."
Evie stared blankly at the guard until he left. The twiddly turrent was not as stable as the homes the great mother provided for her. She felt constricted by the stone walls that surrounded her. This was not how a sprite was supposed to live. This was a doll house at best.
"Well, that was interesting," Ray commented idly, as he parked his wolfy behind on a rug, not at all concerned about the human presence.
"You don't mind all the... humans?" Evie asked hesitantly.
"Not at all, I'm actually part human, didn't you know?"
"But you're not."
Ray looked a little put out by her blunt manner. "Well obviously, bright spark."
Evie grinned and lit up a psark at the end of her finger, she admired it briefly and then flicked it towards Ray. A strand of fur singed with a sizzle.
Ray pretended to take a snap at her. And paused unexpectedly.
"Wait, why can't we leave?"
"The metal one told us not to."
"The guard? He didn't lock it though, I was listening," Ray flipped an ear up and wriggled it.
Evie shrugged.
Ray leapt up and shook himself. "Anyhow, I'm gonna go exploring."
"You're not coming?"
"I'm tired," she yawned. She pointed towards her wreath, the previously lily-white flowers had become a shade of putrid brown. She edged towards the single bed which certainly looked a more comfortable resting spot than the places she had settled with for the past few days.
Ray bit down on the hand and pushed with his shoulder at the door, the well-oiled hinges gave no resistance and the door popped open without a creak.
Just as Evie began to snuggle into the sheets and the thick blankets, Ray sidled back into the room, his head between his knees.
"We're not allowed to go past the hallway." he said forlornly. He gave a snort and and continued, "Stay in your room, please. Is there anything you need, esteemed guest?" he rolled his eyes. "Give me a break, be glad I'm not hungry." Ray continued to rant.
And with the thoughts of their helpless situation in mind, Evie drifted off and began to dream of her comrades.

Faded Realm
As I gaze through dead and frozen eyes,
I wonder what there is is to see
In a realm as neglected as this
The world was not alike this at the times when I roamed this earth
The tide has changed its rhythm,
And the seasons has morphed into a undecided mass
The earth is pale and white, yet still it is "summer"
I wonder where Nix went, perhaps he froze to his death
For his pond is iced and sealed for all thirsty creatures
I walk among them, these animals cast away…
When I lift up my flickering eyelid,
The one thing I see is an black and white scenery
Which is of tree, snow and northern lights
The stream I used to drink from,
Is now forever cold and damned by brother Njord
I wonder if I will make it,
To stand among the bravest of warriors aboard the Naglfar
I will tell my greatest regards to sister Sun and brother Moon,
And if I fail, there shall be another life for me
I walk this path of broken bones and bleaked woods,
And I shall wander 'til I find my promised land
Will you accompany me in the quest for the truth?
Or am I forced to wander this road all alone?
…. Not like it would be fairly too unfamiliar…
I have been deceived countless, and countless times again
By frightened and uncertain beings like the new kind…
I hope I shall not ever meet one old friend as one of those!
I yearn for your strength, my heathen god!
To salvage these foreign men who do not even dare a fight!
I shall protect this land for as long as I can,
Yet when I finally die, will you carry my soul?
To sail above the serpent's head, and enter your ancient hall
I hail thee, Odin of Valhalll!
And I hope for your ravens to warn me, when the tide has changed

text: I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64 on my XP machine which has realtek audio integrated into its geforce 6100sm-m motherboard. I've installed the latest vista 64 drivers for the audio and checked all the connections, but when attempting to configure in 7's audio configuration only the two main speakers are responsive when I click on them. Additionally, when I try and configure them using the Realtek HD audio manager utility that hangs out in the taskbar overflow, I can choose 5.1 speaker under the drop down menu, but the utility doesn't change or seem to register the switch, and reverts back to a blank option when I click ok. Was just curious if anyone else was having a hard time getting their surround sound to work.
