A Rollercoaster of Emotions
... to act as the liaison between the airport and I. He even picked me up from my hotel in the morning where we went to his office to scan and provide documentation to the airport. I honestly don't know what I would have done without these people. It had also been on my immediate to-do list to get a sim card for my phone so I would be able to make local calls, particularly in the event of an emergency i.e. lost luggage, non working credit/debit cards etc. ...
Last Days in India
... the same Cafe as the previous day and relaxed. I had some good pizzaish dish and a brownie. We Contemplated what to do from there and in really looking at the map I discovered we could walk back to the hotel but stop at a fancy mall on the way. So we set off down park past some sad men exploiting monkeys as street performers. The walk wasn't bad and I was able to judge streets and directions pretty easily. We stopped at one department store which I later figured out was not the ...
A day in the life. Though a day unlike the others.
... Unfortunately for them, soon after I arrived it was bath-time. All the boys went to one part of the complex, and all the girls went to another, and we spent the next hour or so getting splashed while trying to get around two dozen little girls clean and suds-free. (They wouldn't stop getting more soap!) It was ridiculous amounts of fun, watching these kids get water poured over their heads, and then having them come up to me crying ...

To add to that, we had such a wonderful evening catching up with Dan and Mel again, who looked so well and so happy midway through their "mega-moon", that in the end, as we left for Darjeeling in our cab ride to the hills we left feeling like we were destined to fall in love with this remarkable ...
Calcutta or Kolkata
Yesterday we saw remnants of the British empire and also the many faces of India today! We drove around the old part of Kolkata where the various British governmental agencies had been located. The red brick Writer's Building, built in 1777, was where clerks of the East India Company kept their records and did the bookkeeping. The West Bengal State offices now utilize the building. We then visited ...

New Delhi, Jan 7 (UNI) Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium today informed the Supreme Court that UP Governor T V Rajeswar and Delhi Lt Gov Tejender Khanna have agreed to sort out the controversy over the registration of an FIR in the Amar Singh phone tapping case and sought more time from the court for resolving the issue.
A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices R V Raveendran and J M Panchal granted four weeks time to the state government to resolve the issue amicably.
Uttar Pradesh had come in appeal against the Delhi High Court order initiating contempt of court proceedings against UP police officials for registering an FIR in the same case and for interfering with the investigation being carried out by Delhi police in the phone tapping case despite the orders of Delhi High Court not to do so.
The apex court had earlier requested the two governments to put their heads together to resolve the issue at the highest level.

You will wear a flying suit and your trained professional crew will clip the cable onto your body harness before you jump so there is no jerkiness or bouncing and you will be upright throughout your experience. The fan descenders which are used to decrease your speed as you near the ground are the same technology used for stunts in movies and for parachute training simulations, creating the feeling of riding on a pocket of air throughout your jump. Take some time at the top to admire the surrounding city before stepping off for the jump of your life!

I watched the human stopped by the water I had planned to sing to today. He was rough, his hair messy and dark black as the darkest sky, and his skin was sunned from many days labour. Swiftly and silently I swung myself up in to a tree, circling the clearing to get a better view. I noticed his dagger first, he was armed. His clothes were simple, and yet he held himself as a king would, or even another of my elfen kind. On reaching a branch opposite him I was startled to see that his eyes, as startlingly beautiful as they would have been when blue, had also a faint lavender colour in them. I stared for a long while as he watered is horse, and then as he gazed at his reflection I decided on what action i would take.
Surely my father would wish to see this man who travelled in our woods? And so I must lead him there. Swiftly making my way behind him again I rustle the branches and make my footsteps heavy for a while. He looks around but cannot see me. I see he is ready to defend himself. A hunter then.
"Who's there?" I step a few steps back, and then rustle another branch. He steps forward, wary, but intrigued. Taking his horse he follows the sounds I make. Soon we are on the edge of my home, and so I will leave him, knowing he will soon be discovered. Before I go, I let him glimpse my back, so he will not recognise my face and I laugh my most enchanting laugh. Slipping away I watch him stand stunned and then pick his way towards where I stood.
It is strange to think he is as fascinated with me as I am with him. I run lightly up to my rooms and change from my jerkin and trousers in to the dresses that my father makes law for me to wear, at least in court. He does not like that I am not as fragile as some maidens, but I have his pride and strength and will not back down. As soon as I am dressed in my green velvet dress with the decorative brown leather corset on top I head to the halls of my father, for I know that he will soon arrive. I take my place behind my father's chair as a messenger announces a human has been found. My father waves for him to come forward.

Greetings. Probably you have had hair fall due to stress of surgery and weight loss. Also due to nutritional deficiency post surgery. This will slowly improve with the supplements you are taking. Getting back to your previous hair status may take many months. But if hair loss is still continuing you may need further therapy. You can send further queries on follow up chat or see a qualified dermatologist near you.

Wrapping gifts never looked so clever.
Gift wrap bows can be so boring. Throw that bag of old Christmas gift wrapping paper and bows back into the closet and grab a pair of scissors, a stapler, and newspaper instead. You are going to spruce up your Christmas gifts with a DIY gift wrap bow made of newspaper. Who knew newspaper could be so useful?
Not only can you use newspaper to wrap gifts, you can use it to make a DIY newspaper gift wrap bow. To top of this super cool newspaper bow, it is easy to do.
How to Make a Newspaper Gift Wrap Bow
- Lay out all the paper you want to use.
- Cut paper into strips. You'll need four strips for each layer of the bow. You can cut each strip in different sizes or the same, depending on how you want your bow to look.
- Fold each end of the strip into the middle so they touch in the middle and staple. Do not crease.
- Fold and staple the next strip on top in a T shape.
- Fold and staple the next two strips to make an X shape.
- You can stop or keep layering strips. If you choose to keep layering, make sure your next four strips for the next layer are shorter as each layer's strips should be slightly shorter.
- Add a pearl, tiny ornament, button, frilled construction paper for your center and attach to your gift.
How cute is that?! If you are not into newspaper, use comic book paper or old book paper. You can also opt for intrinsic craft paper.

Visit artsy to view all works for sale. Join Sirona Fine Art as we welcome Artist Irvin Rodriguez on Saturday April 1st, 2017 for his first solo exhibition "Human Nature". Rodriguez's practice is centered on painting, primarily figurative work that is grounded in reality. Painterly brushwork and moments of abstraction are utilized to explore these narratives and ideas. The work serves as a vehicle to investigate the figure, art history, race and identity. What makes Irvin Rodriguez so wonderful is his bravado in utilizing loose, sweeping movements in the areas of his painting that surround the central figure. His brushwork has virtuosity and utter majestic flair, yet all to a purpose of the painting as a whole. There is dynamic and joyous movement, whether it is bristling backdrop of brush worked, painted air space behind and around the subject, or a figure in a natural setting, with broadly suggested foliage which itself seems to be in rippling, active motion, swirling about a gorgeously painted central figure.
Visit artsy to view all works for sale. Join Sirona Fine Art on Saturday December 3rd, 2016 at 6pm for an extraordinary Artist Panel presented by Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, featuring Artists Erin Anderson (who's piece Felix Looking Forward, Looking Backward is on the cover of the November/December 2016 Issue of Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine), Jules Arthur, Alia El-Bermani, Santiago Galeas, Jason John, Author Ana Menéndez, Irvin Rodriguez, Victoria Selbach, Daena Title and Michael Van Zeyl. "Chévere is such a project, identified only as work "inspired by the Romance Languages of Latin America" curated by Didi Menendez herself a Cuban expatriate. The project, curated by Menendez and collaborator Sergio Gomez, manifests as an issue of Menendez's Poets/Artists magazine, and as an exhibition at Sirona Fine Art in Florida, and online as an Artsy show. Some of the artists are from Latin America, others not. Therefore some of the artists draw on memory and experience of their own countries and peoples, and others on their encounters with cultures foreign to their own, and others still on imagination and images cobbled together from film and art and literature. The project becomes a great act of communion and empathy, a celebration of being together." — Excerpted from Artist and Novelist Daniel Maidman's piece on huffingtonpost.com Chévere's intention is to break stereotypes. We will feature over 50 works by 40 national and international artists displaying figurative, narrative, environmental, emotional, street, poetic, and history depicting works.

Date: Wed, 16 Aug 95 10:06 BST From: email@example.com (David Robinson) Ahh well, I'm not surprised it doesn't work; no one mentioned log files over NFS before. I've justed checked; 0.8.8 hangs on a restart if error_log is NFS mounted. File locking on a file mounted over NFS is TERRIBLE BEHAVIOUR. Apart from the dire server performance this incurs, lock daemons are notoriously buggy. This can be solved for the moment by locking the scoreboard file (which is, for now, guaranteed to be in /tmp); if we move the scoreboard file elsewhere, then at that point we could open a file in /tmp, and immediately unlink it; this would allow us still lock it, with fcntl() at least (though not with flock()), while keeping files from piling up in /tmp. (And, clearing up another mystery, the reason this shows up only on Solaris is that the accept()-locking is #ifdeffed out on other systems). Apache should NEVER be trying to lock a file that is mounted over NFS. And this is yet another reason why the scoreboard file should not be in the logs directory, performance will suffer again. Actually, it's the first such reason I've heard --- it may not be a bad one, though... FWIW, the scoreboard machinery doesn't require any locking at all on the scoreboard file per se (it's arranged so that there's only one process which should be writing a given byte in the file at any given time), so it ought to *work* over NFS. -1 on releasing 0.8.9 for 1 day to give me a chance to fix this. Locking the scoreboard file instead of the error log should be adequate for the moment... something like this: (warning: am testing now...) *** http_main.c~ Sat Aug 12 10:45:01 1995 --- http_main.c Wed Aug 16 09:26:23 1995 *************** *** 140,151 **** #ifdef FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT struct flock lock_it = { F_WRLCK, 0, 0, 0 }; struct flock unlock_it = { F_UNLCK, 0, 0, 0 }; void accept_mutex_on() { int ret; ! while ((ret = fcntl(fileno(server_conf->error_log),F_SETLKW, &lock_it)) < 0 && errno == EINTR) continue; --- 140,152 ---- #ifdef FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT struct flock lock_it = { F_WRLCK, 0, 0, 0 }; struct flock unlock_it = { F_UNLCK, 0, 0, 0 }; + static int scoreboard_fd; void accept_mutex_on() { int ret; ! while ((ret = fcntl(scoreboard_fd, F_SETLKW, &lock_it)) < 0 && errno == EINTR) continue; *************** *** 158,164 **** void accept_mutex_off() { ! fcntl (fileno(server_conf->error_log), F_SETLKW, &unlock_it); } #else /* Default --- no serialization.

Wisconsin troopers go to holdouts' homes
Fri., Feb. 25, 2011, midnight
Assembly closer to vote on public-employee unions
MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin state troopers were dispatched Thursday to the doorsteps of some of the AWOL Democratic senators in hopes of finding at least one who would come back to allow a vote on a measure to curb the power of public-employee unions.
The stepped-up tactic ordered by the Republican head of the Senate came amid reports that at least a few of the missing senators were returning home at night to pick up clothes, food and other necessities, before rejoining their colleagues in Illinois.
Meanwhile, the state Assembly appeared close to voting on the bill after more than two days of filibustering.
Democrats agreed before dawn Thursday to limit the remaining number of amendments they offer and the time they devote to each one. More than 12 hours after the agreement was announced, Republicans voted to cut off discussion on all amendments. Democrats then spent hours delaying a vote on the measure that Gov. Scott Walker insists is necessary to ease the state's budget woes and avoid mass layoffs.
Democrats urged Republicans to accept a compromise that would keep collective bargaining intact.
But Republicans summarily rejected every Democratic amendment in the marathon session.
Democrats, who are in the minority, don't have the votes to stop the bill once the vote occurs.
But even after the bill passes the Assembly, it cannot become law until it also passes the Senate, where action has been stymied by the Democrats' absence. At least one of them needs to be there in order for Republicans to take up the bill since the GOP is one seat short of having a quorum.
The Senate convened at 7 a.m. Thursday just long enough to take a roll call, which allows for the sergeant at arms' staff to go to missing lawmakers' homes with police.
Troopers went to multiple homes but left after finding no one home, said Sergeant at Arms Ted Blazel.
Wisconsin law does not allow police to arrest the lawmakers, but Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said he hoped the show of authority would pressure them to return.

Comments about Curt Class 2 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount:
Does not fit a 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5xt. The mounting brackets in the hitch are not wide enough to fit. After that was kind of fixed the hitch was an inch+ from the tow hook.
Comments about Curt Class 2 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount:
While the listing says it's a direct fit, it did NOT fit my 2008 OB Wagon without a lot of work. While I'm not a professional mechanic, I do all my own work from head gaskets to wheel bearings, etc., so I'm no novice at this. There are 2 brackets on the frame above the mufflers that need to be loosened (no mention of that in the directions) and even with that, the holes in the hitch don't quite line up. It appears the hitch should fit into slots in these brackets but there's no way it would go. Once the mounting bolts were in (2+ hours?), the hole for the tow hook at the rear was nowhere close to lining up. I had to go out and get a much longer bolt and elongate the hitch hole just to get it tied into that mounting spot. Even with that the hitch is about 2" below the tow hook.
This was a total pain the rear to install and it's apparent the company techs have never tried installing this on a real car. Choose another brand that hopefully fits.
Comments about Curt Class 2 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount:
Pretty easy to install and was an exact fit for my 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon. Only challenge I ran into is two of the mounting bolts went in place of two existing bolts which were tight and right above the mufflers.
Comments about Curt Class 2 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount:
I ordered this hitch after speaking to an AA rep on the phone and he ensured that this would fit directly on my frame without any modifications. It also states that install is about 75 mins for a novice. I attempted an install myself but it required the lowering of both exhaust pipes so I opted to have it done professionally to save me time and aggravation.
When my car was put up on the lift and the exhaust was lowered it appeared as though it would be a quick install. This was not the case because the holes in the hitch did not match up with the existing holes in the frame. The hitch had to undergo some fabrication to get it hooked up correctly. IT IS NOT A DIRECT FIT ON A 2008 SUBARU LEGACY 2.5i
After the install problems I've had no other issues using it for a bike rack or camping tray so far.

Canadian dollar slides against rallying greenback
By John McCrank
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar dipped against the U.S. dollar on Monday as renewed confidence in the U.S. financial sector following the U.S. government's takeover of the two biggest U.S. mortgage finance companies convinced investors to buy the greenback.
Canadian bond prices were mixed as investors considered the implications of the bailout of Freddie Mac FRE.N and Fannie Mae FNM.N.
The Canadian dollar ended the North American session at C$1.0647 to the U.S. dollar, or 93.92 U.S. cents, down from C$1.0633 to the U.S. dollar, or 94.05 U.S. cents, at Friday's close.
The currency spent the session in a wide range of C$1.0551 to the U.S. dollar, or 94.78 U.S. cents, to C$1.0715, or 93.33 U.S. cents.
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae own or guarantee half of all outstanding U.S. mortgage debt, and the government bailout gave the market confidence that even if the worst of the U.S. housing crisis was not over, it would be contained.
The Canadian dollar initially held its own against the rallying greenback. But as the U.S. dollar strengthened, commodity prices, which investors had been buying into for a lack of better alternatives, fell and the Canadian dollar came off with them.
Canada is a major exporter of many key commodities and its currency is often influenced by the direction of their prices.
Commodity prices and moves in the greenback will remain the main drivers of the Canadian dollar over the short term, said David Bradley, director of foreign exchange trading at Scotia Capital. Continued...

Russia's foreign minister has claimed Moscow has "absolutely no intention" of ordering its armed forces to cross the Ukrainian border amid growing fears of an invasion.
Sergey Lavrov appeared to rule out a move into eastern Ukraine following Russia's annexation of Crimea.
"We have absolutely no intention and no interests in crossing the Ukrainian border," he told Russian state television on Saturday.
"We [Russia and the West] are getting closer in our positions," he added, saying recent contacts had shown the outlines of a "possible joint initiative which could be presented to our Ukrainian colleagues".
Mr Lavrov will meet US Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris on Sunday, as both sides move to ease tensions in what has been called the worst East-West standoff since the Cold War.
The news came after Barack Obama urged Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops from near the Ukraine border, in the first direct contact between the two leaders since takeover of Crimea.
The White House said that Mr Obama had urged the Russian President in a telephone call to ease tensions by removing soldiers and respond to proposals for a diplomatic solution put forward by the US.
The Kremlin said Mr Putin had suggested "examining possible steps the global community can take to help stabilise the situation" and said the foreign ministers of the two countries would hold discussions.
Tougher sanctions could be imposed on Russia on top of visa bans for some of Mr Putin's inner circle.

12/12 Ukraine crisis
Crimea's pro-Moscow leader Sergei Aksyonov speaks to the media in Simferopol on the 8th March. He has defended a decision to hold a referendum on whether the region should join Russia, saying on Saturday that "no one" could cancel the voting.
Vitaly Klitschko has instead thrown his weight behind Petro Poroshenko, a billionaire confectionary oligarch hailed as one of the most influential people in Ukrainian politics.
His withdrawal sets up a contest between the man known as the " Chocolate King" and Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Prime Minister, on 25 May.
Mr Poroshenko, 48, confirmed his candidacy late on Friday but several opinions polls already had him in the lead even before he said he would run to succeed ousted president Viktor Yanukovich.
He was an early and influential supporter of the popular uprising that toppled Mr Yanukovich in February, three months after he spurned a deal on closer ties with the European Union, sparking protests across the country.
Mr Poroshenko's pledges include strengthening Ukraine's armed forces and protecting its borders.
"We need to build a new, efficient and modern Ukrainian army, which will defend the sovereignty and integrity of our country," Interfax news agency quoted him as saying in Vinnitsa.
Mr Klitschko told a meeting of his UDAR (Punch) party, urged supporters to back Mr Poroshenko and announced he would run instead for mayor of Kiev.
"The only chance of winning is to nominate one candidate from the democratic forces," he said.
Ukrainians will vote under the shadow of Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Black Sea Crimea peninsula.

Our new range of birth prints are now on the website and we are so excited! The range has been given a freshen up and also had new designs added to it. We love birth prints - they are one of our most popular and most loved products and we wanted to create a new beautiful range. We hope you love it too.
I still remember the day I thought of creating a birth print. It would have been around the time we had our second son in 2008. We then created our first range. It only included a few designs but they were so well received. Seven years later, our little baby is growing up fast, and we have created thousands of birth prints for lots of little bubs all around Australia and beyond.
See the new range here.

We needed a modern-day Dynasty, and boy, did Fox deliver. From the director of Precious and Monster's Ball, Lee Daniels' and Danny Strong's Empire is a sort of re-imagining of King Lear—but with three sons and a whole lot of bling.
The drama centers around the family of Empire Entertainment, led by Terrence Howard's Lucious Lyon, a former drug-dealer-turned-hip-hop-music-mogul (à la General Hospital's Sonny Corinthos, if the mobster could carry a tune). Right as the company is about to go public, Lucious assembles his sons to groom one of them to take over his "legacy." Unbeknownst to those in his inner circle, Lucious has ALS—and only three years left to live. Meanwhile his charismatic ex-wife, Cookie, has just been released from prison after serving a 17-year sentence and is coming back for hers.
Cookie, played by the incomparable Taraji P. Henson, had taken the fall for Lucious in a drug bust years earlier. The money from that same drug deal allowed Lucious to spearhead Empire Entertainment, so she returns to the city enraged, determined to reclaim her stake in the company and a role in her adult sons' lives.
The oldest, Andre (All My Children's Trai Byers), is a Wharton graduate and married to his college girlfriend, Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday). He also struggles with bipolar disorder and a dependency on his wife for keeping it a secret.
Jamal (Jussie Smollet) is our indie darling, a gay singer-songwriter determined to make it in the music industry without selling out. He has a rocky relationship with his homophobic father, but a strong one with Cookie, who longs to elevate him to star status. His songs are, for the most part, about his father's reckoning with his sexual orientation.
Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray) is the youngest. He's hot-headed like his mother, and the two don't get along due to her leaving for prison when he was so little.
It's all here, folks: family, power, and money. And don't forget about music. This hip-hopera relies on collaborations from Timbaland, Snoop Dogg, and countless others, and its soundtrack topped the Billboard Top 200 chart upon the season finale's airing.
Bottom line: Empire is an addictive nighttime soap that manages to address issues like misogyny in hip-hop and the marginalization of gay artists in the music industry as well as the black community. It also serves as a great melodrama, a genre typically reserved for daytime that we desperately need more of in our primetime hours.
So come on Boo Boo Kitty—loosen up that ascot and let's binge-watch Empire.
Number of Seasons: 1 (12 episodes)
Time Requirements: One week. Every episode is an hour long, but trust us, they go quickly.
Where to Get Your Fix: Hulu, Fox Now
Best Character to Follow: Cookie or Hakeem. Cookie is the show's fiercest character and her outfits are on point. It's all stilettos, fur, and one-liners. But her youngest son, Hakeem, evolves in a surprising way, so keep an eye out for him. Plus, he sings "Drip Drop," which is probably the show's most underrated song.
Seasons/Episodes You Can Skip:
The Season 1 finale is pretty disappointing, and it includes a rather disturbing portrayal of mental illness, but you sort of have to watch it for the sake of a cliffhanger. Sorry!
Seasons/Episodes You Can't Skip:
Season 1: Episode 1, "Pilot" For obvious reasons, the setup here is important. The cliche scenarios will bother you at first, but you'll get over it. Cookie has some great entrances in this one.
Season 1: Episode 2, "The Outspoken King" After one of his artists is involved in a shooting, Lucious has to do damage control given the company's impending IPO. This episode has arguably the best musical performance of them all—between Jamal and Hakeem. It's just one of many to take place in the family's "nightclub."
Season 1: Episode 8, "The Lyon's Roar" Jamal makes a surprising announcement in a very public way, with the support of (most of) his family. He also sings his father's hit song "You're So Beautiful" (a track you're going to hear a lot throughout the show even though it's not that great) at a party for Empire Entertainment.
Season 1: Episode 10, "Sins of the Father" With plot points like a potential undiscovered parentage and a hostage situation in the Lyon mansion, this episode is totally over-the-top, and you'll love it. Oh, and there's an appearance by Raven-Symoné!
Why You Should Binge:
Yes, many of the scenarios on Empire are totally nuts and hard to fathom (like, uh, two famous CEOs pointing guns at one another on the Hudson River) but the show is not pretending to be anything other than the soapy family melodrama that it is. Bonus: If you like songs that are under two minutes, then you'll enjoy the Empire soundtrack. Plus, Jussie Smollett was just signed to Columbia Records.
Best Scene—A Man Love a Man
Jamal comes out to his family, and the entire world, on stage.
The Takeaway:
The nighttime soap is back, folks, and it's basically a musical.
If You Liked Empire, You'll Love:
Scandal is a less glamorous (it's Washington D.C., after all) melodrama, but Shonda Rhimes' show is just as addictive. For another series featuring great hair and a musical rivalry spanning generations, Nashville is your best bet.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

BioShock 2 - DLC Canceled for PC
View Single Post
October 13th, 2010, 11:48
We love to cover a wide range of games with rpg elements in them. Elemental is definitely a strategy game, but it's the closest thing we got to MoM now…..well that's not exactly true, the closest thing would be a few of the mods for Civ IV or III. Especially Fall From Heaven II which is weird since the guy who made that is now the Project Manager for Elemental.
With more and more games having rpg elements in them it's not so surprising to see more and more of the hybrids showing up here. I'm sure DHruin, myself or one of the others will be covering Bioshock 3 since it will be of at least some interest to some of the people who come here.
Despite all my rage.
I'm still just a rat in a cage.

New court moves are expected after a group of major record companies failed to re-instate a temporary block on High Court action in which they are accused of operating an illegal price-fixing cartel for music videos.
The ban was imposed in March last year, but last November the judge refused to extend it further. Now his decision has won the unanimous support of three Court of Appeal judges, paving the way for further action.
Master of the Rolls, Sir Thomas Bingham, sitting with Lords Justices Millett and Schiemann dismissed an appeal by the record companies and backed the High Court judge, Mr Justice Evans-Lombe, who in the November hearing found no grounds to extend his earlier order.
The temporary six-month order blocking action was granted to record giants BMG, EMI, Polygram, Sony and Warner in respect of an action launched by the music television channel MTV Europe over allegedly exorbitant royalties charged for their promotional videos.
In its action MTV Europe seeks declarations and damages for alleged breaches of European competition law.
MTV claims the way the big five record companies negotiate royalties through the UK collection society Video Performance and pan-European group the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, violates articles of European law which prohibit price-fixing cartels and abuse of a dominant market position. The record companies, which produce the majority of CDs, cassettes and vinyl discs sold in the UK, deny this and sought to extend the temporary stay of action.
They claim that the European Commission before which MTV has a parallel complaint pending had shown a change of attitude to the case which would merit the further stay. And they say they should not have to fight complex and expensive disputes in two venues at once.
However, the Appeal judges held that the High Court had been entitled to reach the decision it did and to refuse to prevent the action here going on.

Elden Ketler Rita Barber John M Manley Bond issue Local air opinions on failure of package Editor's note This is the debut of a weekly feature designed to give you a chance to let your views be known Future topics will deal with local, state, national and international events. By CINDY RICHARDSON Staff writer Some local folks had a chance to voice their opinions on why the the recent New Braunfels Independent School District's $9.3 million bond issue failed. That bond issue, which was voted down February 12, would have financed a wide variety of improvement* at existing schools, a new elementary school, air conditioned of all facilities and a new administrative office, among other items. Many people questioned did not know a great deal about the topic, and this seems to support the idea bv some that lack of information caused the issue to be voted down. Those who did know what it was all about told us the following: "I suspect there was not enough public information to document the needs," said Rev. R.W Bizer. who lives in the Comal Independent School District "As far as I can see. the needs are there." "I think it was a lack of information on the part of whoever runs these* elections. The information didn't get around much," Charlie Hoerig said I can't understand it." said I mn Boa met, "As a former president of the school board. I am .strongly in favor of the improvements. I think, number one. not enough people got out to vote. And. number two, people didn't understand the issue." Some people thought tin* bond issue failed because of a lack of interest, but one woman disputed this. "I hate to say it vs as because of a lack of interest," said Kite Barber "I think people arc interested, I think they are just disenchanted with politics right now." Others attributed the failure to e onot11ic reasons "It was just such a large sum of money that I think it shocked people," said one woman. "I guess people didn't want more taxes." said John M Manley. "People were afraid their taxes would go up." Martha Fritsche said "They asked fur too much all at once." said Elden Ketler. "It was too much for tile people of this district to handle." The same thing happened when fit* was living in Houston, he noted. That bond issue was originally voted down, but when it was broken down into smaller bond issues, each ended up passing It took several years, but the district got what it needed, fie said. • Footnote NBISD trustees indicated Tuesday they planned to call a second bond issue for May 141. New Braunfels and Comal Independent School District teachers md educators have joined with surrounding school districts to form iii ai ca reading council. Such councils arc organized to encourage students to read outside die school environment and to inform teachers of methodology. Dr Bonnie Long Ilion, reading instructor at Texas Lutheran College, was the guest speaker at a meeting attended recently by 45 educators from New Braunfels, Comal, San Marcos, Navarro, Marion, Schertz* ( ibolo-Umver.sal City and Stockdale. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the need for an area reading council, affiliated with tile International Reading Association. Educators present elected chairmen of a program, membership, nominating, publicity and public relations committees. Kara Edged of Comal Independent School District was elected head of the membership committee. The council will meet again on March 24 in Bnesmeister library in Seguin to determine the amount of dues and the name of the newly organized group. Teachers are encouraged to participate in the council. Individual membership in the International Reading Council is optional.

it can give energy, but i am suffering from cvs but from candida as well. Flares up candida
Does ok

I only have this once in the morning with tea and I'm not sure if thats the proper way but it seems to work for me. Not drastically but noticable. By late afternoon I start to lose energy and since I can never remember to take it to work with me, I just deal with it.
Works a little
Posted by Reviewer1764220 on May 12, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Got this for the energy benefits and took it before working out here and there. The first day I used it, I was JACKED UP and extremely energetic, but it might have been placebo because I never felt that way again with use. I will say that I've noticed slight improvements in energy here and there, though. It has a sweet taste but it's not great in water. In any sweet drink, however, it blends perfectly and is not at all a problem.

SImblesimpkin the evil perpurtrator?
Simblesimpkin stands on the stand, her chin raised each whisker bristling with indignation as the big bad bailiff asks her to swear. Judge Wicked E Witch peers over her glasses and swings her gravel idley from side to side.
Wicked E WItch: Narrator, can you fill us in before we have Simblesimpkin's testamony please?
Narrator: (Sweeping bow and curtsey) Of course your most delectable honour!
Now Simble, dear Simble had formed a dark plan, so she packed up her bags and dusted her hands.
She walked through the woods and up to a mill which was nestled serenley atop a black hill.
She saw the old miller who was struck down by her beauty and his heart did beat and he now knew his duty.
He walked up to old Simble and bent down on one knee and said "Simble! Dear Simble! Won't you marry me?"
(Gasps from the crowds)
Yes it is true! I can hear you say wow but old Simble did step up and take marriage vows!
Wicked E Witch: (drops her gravel in shock) So! Let me get this straight! If the old miller married Simble then that must mean-
Jury: Dun! Dun! DUH!
Wicked E Witch: That Morinder is Simblesimpkins daughter!
(Gasps from the crowd!)
The Old Miller: (Stands up) Its true I tell you! I love you fuzzy wuvvy kins! Mwah! Mwah!
WIcked E Witch: Alright! Alright! thats enough! (whispers) I've just eaten!
Now Simblesimpkin we will hear your testamony! And I want the truth!
Simblesimpkin: Okay! Okay! I'll tell you about my evil plans!
It's true! I left the dark woods and headed up to the mill where I saw the old miller who lived on the hill!
I married him there, I had him a daughter, I cooked and I cleaned like all good wifes oughta!
Narrater: (mutters) Simply awful rhyming! Simply awful!
Simblesimpkin: But my heart was still heavy and life hung on my mind, so I vowed that my brothers and mother I'd find.
I schemed and I plotted, I fumed and I planned, to get lots of money for me and my man!
(Wiggles her fingers at The Old Miller who blows a kiss back)
Now I heard that the King was looking for gold so as a part of my plan my daughter was sold.
I stuck on a beard and sneaked into her cell where my sweet little Morinder was horribly held!
I taught her to weave and showed her my power, I taught her to spin gold (It took like an hour!).
Now I knew that Rumple longed for a child, so much so that it drove him quite wild!
So Morinder I told she could keep her fair King, and she swore to me I could have anything!
So the first child she had I told her I'd claim unless she could guess and figure my name.
Now this is the best part of my wonderful plan because my dear daughter thought me a man!
Identical brothers all covered with grime would all be arrested and charged with this crime!
Now my devious daughter sent out her best spies to peek and to peer and to listen to my cries!
I danced and I jeered, I cackeled and grinned and I cried to the moon, my names Rumplestiltskin!
Morinder the queen reported the crime and my dear brothers were made to do time!
I escaped to the hill to be with the miller but something had happened, now heres the real killer!
My old mother was ill and I felt bad, because this was the only real family I had.
So I'm telling the truth and now they can go free but here is my moral please listen to me!
My heart was dark and my mind was cold, for all I could think of was vengence and gold.
So don't be evil and try not to be sly because theres no "happy ever after" for the bad guy!
The wicked witch falls of her chair, the bailiff spits up the stenographer in shock, Morinder sits with her hands over her eyes, the king gazes lovingly at his mirror! Regaining her composure and pulling herself back onto her seat the Judge glares at Simblesimpkin!
Wicked E Witch: Now you all heard her! She confessed under duress! Now place this small woman under arrest!
Narrator: (Claps) Oooh! Well done! Simply marvelous rhyming your honour!
Wicked E Witch: (Looks a little confused) Ok has the jury come up with a plan to punish this woman for this evil scam!
Juror No.1: My name is Grumpy, I am head juror and a Dwarfe, I serve under the tenth kingdom of dwarfedom, praised by the commander Guzzledorf, trained by the masterful mountain dwarves! RULED OVER BY KING MORK! RULER OF ALL DWARF-
Wicked E Witch: (bangs gravel) Will you just get on with it you berk!
Juror No.1: (ahem!) We the Jury of magical creatures find Simblesimpkin......
Guilty of perverting the course of justice! Guilty of framing her brothers!
We also find her husband The Old Miller! GUILTY of trafficking a human and selling his own daughter for profit!
Simblesimpkin: Nooooooooooo!
The Old Miller: Noooooooooooo!
Wicked E Witch: Its about bloody time!
I sentance you both to a year of back-breaking labour and both of your pictures will be in the paper! You will harvest jewels for the angry Dwarfe King Mork for crimes against nice people and being a dork!
Narrator: Really your honour thats splendid stuff!
Wicked E Witch: How do I make it stop?
Narrator: Oh you can't! Its an awful life long disease! (smiles innocently)
Wicked E WItch: (sighs) Now before the big bailiff takes you away! I have a few things that I want to say.
Revenge can be cold and it always tastes bitter, so don't be a fool and don't be a quitter!
Stay good and nice or you'll find out why......
Theres never a happy ever after for the bad guy!
Case closed.
The End.

Things We Masturbated To Before We Had Access To Porn (Of The Day)
"Before the invention of the world wide web, before we even knew porn existed, you best believe we were masturbating. And in a lot of creative ways. We feel bad for the young people today who can just log onto their computers and have a world of whack off materials with a single click. "Back in the olden days," we'll brag to our kids, "we had to use our imaginations to stimulate our genitals."
If you were fortunate enough to grow up in a house with cable, and were doubly blessed to have it in your bedroom, you made excuses to stay in on Saturday nights and wait until everyone was sleeping to watch movies like "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" or "Gas Pump Girls" on Cinemax.
"I would force my Sims characters to have sex in the kitchen and then masturbate to the blurred out image and chirping Sims sex sounds." --Anonymous
Full coverage bras, control top underwear and girdles. Mmmmnnnn. But seriously. Hot, young juniors in the Sears catalogue in their PANTIES! A young man's paradise!
Christopher Pike books, some weird subscription romance novels that were delivered to my house/purchased for a dime at a garage sale, my grandmother's copy of Lucky Chances by Jackie Collins or any VC Andrews paperback. The sex scenes from these were all on the wank list.
"My friend's dad was a doctor and he had an illustrated anatomy book in his study. We found the page with penises and vaginas and then I would go home and touch myself and think about it." -- Anonymous
Even if you didn't get it, you could still sometimes hear the sounds of sex and moaning through the scrambled signal if you sat close to the TV. That was enough.
You stared the pictures until you were certain you could make out a faint nipple or bush through the fabric. You couldn't.
See the rest here.
What other ways did we find to take care of business?

I used to stare at these before I even knew what masturbating was or how to touch myself. True story.
We always had cable (thanks, Dad!) and Harlequin Romance novels (thanks, Mom!)ReplyDelete

The Joy of Sex books (and yes, Frederic's of Hollywood too)ReplyDelete
We spent far too much time trying to see something through the scrambled Spice channel video. Sometimes you could hear, sometimes you couldn't. It was a lot of work for not much payoff, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Or so I have heard.ReplyDeleteReplies
When I was 13 a buddy of mine built one of those cable descrambler boxes you can buy the plans for. Guess whose house we all slept over at nearly every weekend?Delete
For years his mom couldn't figure out why he was so popular. When she found out she was pissed.
I nabbed my fathers penthouse and playboy.ReplyDelete
Also, when VHS tapes came around, he had a few of those as well.
Totally agree with Cary. I spent a lot of time pretending I understood what was going on behind all that static and white noise on The Movie Channel and Showtime. HBO didn't have as many late-night nudies back then, but there were enough topless women in Conan to make up for it!ReplyDelete

Wow, I slept for nine hours last night. It was so needed, after last week. I normally only get a few hours a night. I have to admit, in the past few months that time frame has grown. I guess it has something to do with age. I find it necessary get more than four hours a night a little more frequently now. I still get on a insomnia like kick every once in a while though. The physical exertion of last week took it's toll no doubt. I haven't worked that hard in a long time. We didn't even feel like fishing after work, the two nights we spent at camp. Now that is tired!
Today Was productive in it's own way. I learned a few new tricks for the templates. I'm really torn between a couple of templates I really like the look of. The problem is they don't have some features I'm looking for. So I went on a feature hunt if you will. I learned a few new ways to add what I want to existing templates. HTML, accompanied by a little Java script can do wonders. There is so much open source code out there, free to use. I'll have to test some of it to make sure it doesn't slow page loads significantly. I would love to find a way to make the sidebar not refresh every time you click a link, only loading the post your interested in.
I also found an answer to something I've been working on for The Pub. I've been trying to build a slide show that will be easily copied by members to their own site. I think I may have the answer in hand. Unfortunately it will take some code work to load on pages, and not that many people are comfortable tinkering with their template HTML. I think I'll need to work on an answer for that. I really want to make a widget they can just copy a snippet of code, and paste into an HTML widget and be done. I'll figure it out, it only takes time.
