Spanish insurer Mapfre posted a solid set of results for the first half of 2014, citing growth in the Latin American market.
The insurer said that at constant exchange rates, premiums would have grown by 8 percent. However, the strength of the Euro during the period meant that premiums were down 0.5 percent to €8.62 billion for the first half of 2014.
The second quarter saw a year-on-year increase in premiums of 1.4 percent which the insurer said was particularly strong in Brazil and Mexico. The life business posted premiums of €3.16 billion, with Brazil performing exceptionally well during the second quarter of the year.
Profits before taxes and minority interests amounted to €942 million, a record figure for Mapfre in the first six months.
Mapfre reported that in Spain, it outperforms the market by 2.4 percentage points, with strong growth in the health, accidents, life and multi-peril lines. The motor insurance business performs on par with the market.
"These results show that the international business continues growing, and Mapfre is noticing signs of economic recovery in Spain. Moreover, the excellent 95.7 percent combined ratio reflects outstanding operational management," said Antonio Huertas, Mapfre's chairman and chief executive officeer.

Quite surreal , there is a blood red blob filling the Tasman Sea but this morning it seemed so safe and tranquil. The only hint ... still night sounds of shunting trains, rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance and then the dawn a crooked horizon marching north, jagged and split from first sun rays like solar flares . There's a red mist on the exposed headlands , but they may as well be a million miles away. Im sure somewhere firing , maybe Mars ?

Roleplay Boy BunniesMature
Table-top roleplayers get really gung-ho to save Grandpa's dying comic book store.
I'm about to tell you a story that will blow your mind. But not just for the sake of entertaining you. There is an important reason for this story to be told. Its heroes need to be recognized for their heroic deeds and their unceasing courage, for they did many truly great things. I can see this story being passed down through generations as a bedtime story for imaginative children all around the world. It is my great honor to have been allowed to be the one to write down these events for all the world to see. Although, in all honesty, I can't think of any other person more suited for the task than myself, because I alone was there the whole time, observing the heroes but not interfering with their adventures; watching the game from a safe but exhilirating distance.
You have to understand that the game they played was not Monopoly. Maybe you've never seen dice with twenty sides before. Well there are some. There are some with ten sides and some with eight and some with twelve. Most of them have numbers on the sides, but not all of them. Some of them have different weather conditions, some have body parts, some have words like "evil", "good", and "neutral." They are all very imporant to the game, but I don't expect you to understand that yet. I only want to familiarize you with some of the equipment that is required to play this game, and to let you know that these heroes had them all, because they took it very seriously. Because the game they were playing didn't revolve around winning $500 landing on "Free Parking".
Who am I? That is hardly consequential. At the most basic level, I guess you may see me as an apostle of sorts, one of the few who know what really happenned. I can only let you decide who was the Hero, because at times I'm left wondering if their story is tragic or comedic. I looked up to all of them. They were all masters of the game.
This game is so rarely understood and I don't think it's meant to be understood by just anybody. Gary Kasparov was a Chess champion who beat Big Blue. His mechanism was faster than an Intel chip. Gary Kasparov would have never known what hit him. Chess literally is black and white, but in this game, the shades of grey are uncountable and your only real hope is to stay ahead of that famous San Franciscan butterfly before it crashes that unwitting plane into a Houston sidewalk.
Erick was what they called the Game Master and Erick would tell them where they were. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but you see, they pretended. Or they thougt they were pretending. Here, let me try it this way, because I want you to understand. You need to understand. Gus, Parker, Hannah and Dwayne were sitting around the folding table at Gus' grandpa's Comic Book Shop. Gus was pretty well the manager of the Shop, but he was so much more than that. And every day they'd gather at 3pm and become their alter-egos.
I was a newcomer then, a misplaced teen in a rural setting looking for a place to fit my identity. I was smart enough to not fit in, and I was looking for people to not fit in with.
I had spent a few days a week milling around the comic book shop. I knew nothing about comics or fantasy settings but was taken in by the sheer vastness of it all. Shelf upon shelf teemed with books and pictures of far away lands. I'd flip through them entranced by descriptions of gnomes who had conquered dragons with song, and of beautiful women who lured men with enchantment. I wanted to be there. Every so often as one of the heroes emerged from the back room to pass me on the way to the single Employee's restroom, I had yearned for them to recognize me. Perhaps one of them would remember me from the day before, and ask me if I wanted to try their game. I was like a screenwriter hanging out outside the parking lot of Twentieth Century Fox watching my mentors come in for the day, on their way out to lunch, and finally again, on their way home.
Grandpa Bunker paid me no mind. I don't think he knew anything about how these games worked, and he'd sit behind the counter quietly placing his attention from the local classical radio station to the excited chatter in the back room. It was a peaceful enough place to be, and I'd sit immersing myself in the game's rulebooks. There was the "Hero's Tome", the "Game Master's Composium", specific rulebooks for each different character type (of which I hoped one day to master at least one), and so many other books. To have read them all, one time each, would have been an incredible feat for me. To memorize them? Impossible. These people blew my mind.
Yet, I got the general point of the game. I would make up a character who I wanted to pretend to be, and I'd sit at a table with others who would pretend to be somebody else too. And the Game Master would tell us all about a world where our pretend people were. He essentially created a Universe, was the Universe, and was allowing us to bring our imaginations into it.
The rules were important but they were secondary to the game, it seemed. Yet, necessary. Everything had a rating and it made so much sense. While the person I made up, I would describe as "strong", the game had a number for that. Let's say, 67. Out of 100. If the Game Master had us meet a dragon, then the dragon would have its own number, and that might be 90. That's where the dice came in and the formulas. This was the immutable law of physics making its way into the game. And the dice provided the random. Every quality of our pretend characters-- strength, speed, physical attractiveness, dancing skills, superpowers-- Everything had its own number, and every interaction its own formula, to be calculated with a roll of the dice playing the X factor.
The more I heard from the back room, the more I thought I'd understand.
I knew the heroes, although I knew much more about who their pretend people were, then their actual identities. That was the thrilling part. The shop wasn't that big, and the clamor in the back room was so energized that I never had any problem hearing what was going on. On the rare times that someone would emerge up the couple of steps leading to the front, I'd do my best to peek in without appearing too obvious.
Gus was almost three hundred pounds, and at first glance you may have shelved him as a roleplay gaming "Dork" with tell tale mustard on his T-shirt. I would caution you not to make that mistake. Gus didn't care about his unkept curls or acne or even hygiene. Because, when he was there, he wasn't there at all. Gus was gone and in his place was Alabastor, the Warrior Prince. The brave, firm yet loveable, leader of the group, usually. He was the idea guy, the one who always remembered to look for treasure or important artifacts in places where it seemed like that sort of thing might be. I marvelled at how accurately he could guess where things would be hidden. Places I would never have dreamed of looking, and objects I never would have thought to ask for. Yet, time after time, I would hear him ask Erick things like, "Behind any of the statues, is there a dusty old scroll that details the destruction of an ancient civilization that once lived in these ruins?" And many times, he was absolutely right. With a brilliant leader like that, how could the team possibly fail?
Seated beside Gus at the table, as always, would be Hanna, who would be playing "Wilteria the Wise"-- a name she had chosen which represented to her the most beautiful elven maiden in all the lands. For the longest time, I had only heard her voice from the back room, and I pictured her tall with a slim light-skinned face, and long, silky white-blonde hair that rippled in the breeze even when there was no breeze. I believe she pictured exactly the same thing. I admit I was a little disappointed the first time I actually saw Hanna-- but that's not important, I reminded myself. The game was about becoming someone else, getting away from the boring person you normally have to be.
Parker was new, he was only 15. Just a kid who used to come into the shop all the time after school, because in a town of 8,000 people a 15 year old kid doesn't have a lot of places to hang out. And soon he fell under the spell. He was more boisterous than I was, and his cherub countenance seemed less threatenning to the divulgence of their secret room. While I had flipped through books by the front window when one of the sought after gamers was caught out front, Parker would intercept them asking when he could play.
Gus had growled that he would put him on the waiting list, and despite Gus' apparent arrogance, I almost understood why. In my opinion, one didn't just jump into this world. It was an 'invite only' kind of scene just as someone didn't ask to be put on a PGA tour. It was an unlikely altercation that eventually brought Parker into the game.
It happened one day when Gus had come to grab a cooler of soda from the front, shuffling past Parker in an effort I think to avoid the inevitable begging he'd have to impatiently refuse. Parker was, as always, perseverent, and Gus, during his quick exit past Parker's pleading, had knocked a bag of beef jerky from his hands.
"You can't have food in the store, kid."
Gus had marched to the front door in order to point the way out, and Parker after a moment of looking lost had pointed his tossled blonde hair downwards over his glasses, clutched the bag to his chest and made his way out.
I did feel bad for him but I also knew the value of waiting one's turn. I racked it up as a coming of age experience. Yet, the conversation that followed had me watching with nothing less than surprise.
"Are those Buffalo ranch flavour?" Gus suddenly asked.
Parker stopped outside the shop. Gus was holding the door open and the boy was directly in front of the open door.
"Yeah, they're new. I don't really like them."
It was there that Parker had been welcomed to join the group in the back room. Was that the way into this elusive, cloistered group? It seemed such a simple thing for the reaction I had. I felt like someone had cut their way past a line with a crisp fifty tucked into a bouncer's palm. That wasn't right either. The kid was willing to leave, and before his invitation I was feeling bad for him. Despite Gus' gruff exterior, he had a heart and I couldn't overlook that. I was almost glad Parker had been invited in before me. At least he had had a strategy, and while it wasn't his perseverance that paid off in the end, it would be almost against the Human spirit for his efforts not to be rewarded. The rule books, by the way, would call that "karma points"-- a tally of rewards aimed at good ideas that turned out fruitless. Maybe Parker did understand the game more than I figured.
Perhaps my aloof distance was the wrong plan. Maybe the iron had been hot all along and I had to revisit my own strategy. It was five pm and I had been there for three hours already, thumbing through the magazines and the DVDs, all offsprings to this game that Parker eagerly bounced off towards that dimly lit shrine in the back room to experience. Gus had stayed behind to gather a roll of paper towels from behind the counter and that's when I noticed Grandpa looking at me. The reality of Grandpa's blindness was semantic. He could not see, yet when he looked, he was staring from behind his eyes.
"Yes, grandpa?" It was an absent minded response. Gus was busy jotting something into a notepad on the counter.
"This young man would be good for your game."
My eyes had met with Grandpa's and for all purposes we were exchanging glances, so much so, that I found myself trying to hide my expression of horror at his announcement. The announcement seemed like an unwelcome intrusion, a seller asking to auction your unfinished painting and the anticipated rejection that one would expect as the outcome.
Gus nodded as he jotted. He hadn't seemed to hear his Grandpa's words, his reaction seeming to be an affirmation of the daily weather. He gathered his notepad into a bundle with his paper towels and looked up, not expecting to meet my attention at the other end across the store.
My reaction to this spontaneous encounter was purely instinctual. I am sure, in retrospect, that I wanted to tell him that his Grandpa was mistaken, that surely he must have meant someone else. That would have insulted his Grandpa, mind you, who had clearly figured out that I had not yet designed a course to help myself, and in his grandfatherly kindness had offered me a hand. I could not refuse that and maybe that was what gave me the courage to respond to Gus' sorely wanted attention with a shrug of the shoulders indicating that I was worth a shot.
And so it was that Gus looked at me, shrugged back and looked defeated.
"Why not? Come on back. Just so you know, new members supply chips. Spend the day watching, you and the kid. If you like us, and we like you, well, let's just see how it goes."

Service-Learning Faculty Comments
"It is quite difficult for college students to fully understand the difference between children's cognitive processes and abilities and their own when students only study theory. It is also difficult for college students to appreciate the power and benefits of folk tales and fairy tales 'in theory.' college students also listen with skepticism when told reading to children helps a child succeed in school. All three of these theories become visible and comprehensible to college students as they participate in children's education at Wilson Elementary School." -- Judith Palladino, THRE 2941: Children's Theatre Lab/Storytelling, spring 2008

Good luck for me my baby sleeps at intervals during the day and then he usually sleeps right through the night. Once or twice I had to get up in the middle of the night to nurse him but thats rare and only for a short period.
I only slept at night in the early stages, he's and co-sleeping made it easier to get as much sleep as possible. She would cry, boob out, fall asleep for 30 min while feeding her then 40 min to bring wind up, sleep again...
I get infuriated when people say 'sleep when the baby sleeps' My baby only sleeps in the day when he's in the car or pram or being held!!! He sleeps at night from 10.30-3am then 4am-6. At least I'm getting a chunk I would rather do that at night.
Keep up with baby's development and yours during pregnancy

Tuesday Night Bites: Can't harness Harnish!
• Northern Illinois @ Bowling Green, 8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN2: NIU sits atop the MAC West this week with just one conference loss to its name (that weird Central Michigan shootout in Week 5) and a head-to-head advantage over Toledo. The Huskies are riding a four-game win streak in which they won the first two games (Kent State and Western Michigan) by a combined margin of 59 points and the last two (Buffalo and Toledo) by a combined margin of four. While NIU's defense is nothing to crow about, hipster MAC Heisman poster boy Chandler Harnish will have to be stopped. It really is that simple. He's the team's leading rusher, can throw when he needs to, and the Huskies score A Lot. Bowling Green contained Temple and Toledo to an extent, but just lost to Kent State. With their rush-averse offense, the Falcons will have trouble slowing down the game tempo enough to keep Harnish off the field for long stretches of time. Oh, and their defense is also quite bad against the run. They're a top-five punting outfit, however, so just hang onto that. • Western Michigan @ Toledo, 8:00 p.m. ET, ESPNU: The Rockets won and broke hearts last week with their 63-60 loss to the aforementioned Huskies. Safe to say they'll be gunning for a feel-good win against a Broncos team that was considered the class of the directional Michigans after beating UConn and playing then-No. 24 Illinois to within a field goal, only to lose to Eastern two weeks ago in a 14-10 slog. Or will the Rockets still be reeling? They can't sleepwalk against Western, which has bowl eligibility in its sights and could drag Toledo down into the scrum of two-loss MAC West teams with a win. On paper, however, the Broncos 97th-ranked defense seems to give quarterbacks Austin Dantin and Terrance Owens and receivers Eric Page and Adonis Thomas the high-scoring edge.

Schoolteacher-turned-winemaker Lindsay McCall has shown an absolutely exceptional gift for winemaking across a range of styles, but with immensely complex Pinot Noir and Shiraz leading the way. The wines have an unmatched level of success in the wine shows and competitions Paringa Estate is able to enter, the limitation being the relatively small size of production. His skills are no less evident in contract winemaking for others. Winery Rating 5 stars. James Halliday
This wine has Paringa's typical complex bouquet of dark cherries, spice and subtle savoury new oak characters. On the palate there is powerful dark cherry/black fruit flavours well integrated with the spicy savoury French oak characters. The fine grain tannins provide weight and structure to the wine. This is an elegant Paringa pinot that will reward careful cellaring.
Bright, light crimson-purple; the expressive bouquet has red and black cherry, a splash of plum and a touch of French oak; the flavours of the palate fall into line with the bouquet, but their depth and the polished tannins are all Paringa markers.

Photo of the day from the Dakar Rally
The most visually stunning images from this year's Dakar Rally.
For 2015, the Dakar organisers ASO want to take the world's toughest race back to its origins by opening up the exhausting marathon stages to all classes. The start and finish line will be back in Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital city, which first hosted the rally in 2009. But not everything will be a nod to the past. Rest day will be in Iquique but on different days for different classes: cars and trucks will rest on January 10th, while bikes and quads on the 12th - that means more Dakar action. The Dakar 2015 makes excursions into Bolivia and Chile on a looping 9000 km route to Termas de Río Hondo and back to Buenos Aires.

Looking for a place to call home for a while. That is quiet, clean and friendly. I am very quiet and tend to keep to myself. My dog is an indoor dog when I am home and an outdoor dog when I am not. I am a non-smoker and am looking for somewhere tidy, pet friendly and close to work.
I am a shy type kind of person, not so chatty bit approachable. Clean and responsible on household.
Keep to myself a bit but also like to spend time with friends and family. Have a 5yo daughter that would be staying with me possibly 4 days a fortnight
I'm responsible, neat and tidy. I like meeting new people and I'm very easy going with a positive outlook.
Hi, my name is Jenny. I am a full time student, studying 5 days a week so I would generally be out of the house for most of the day. I love to socialise, and have a good time, but also of course would need some time to myself to study from time to time. I am a extremely clean, organise and tidy person. Hobbies includes, having a laugh and chilling out with my friends, watching TV shows and movies, listening to music. I like to keep myself busy so I won't be home much, but when I am I'd love to live with laid-back, but social people that would be keen to hang out and have a good time, very sociable, ready to make new friends. I'd probably prefer to team up and start a lease with one or two other people. Would prefer staying with females.
I keep to myself
Hello my name is Jade and I'm studying to be an Aged Care Personal Carer. I love my course and I'm looking forward to making a difference in people's lives by giving people assistance to support their independence in life which is totally close to my heart. Currently I work casual/part time as an Admin contractor however this will be changing once I graduate from my course in July and I begin my new career as a Carer. As a housemate, I'm kind, responsible, respectful and I'm wonderfully housetrained lol. I pay my rent and bills on time and I live a quiet lifestyle. I'm happy to chat to my housemates when we catch up and I'm happy going about my day independently fulfilling what I need to do to make a positive difference in life. My hobbies include, reading, Netflix, gardening, walking, Apple puzzle games and many more hobbies. Ideally I'm looking for a home with housemates who genuinely love life and have past the partying stage of their life. People who have followed their heart or want to make a difference in life. For example in their career or hobby or in their dreams in life or are in the beginning stages of bringing about this type of change in their life. For example, a person who followed their heart to become a singer so they could one day create a choir for people who have a disability to bring enjoyment to their lives or a person who dreamed of becoming lawyer so he could change the legal system to help those who are less fortunate have an equal voice/opportunity as those who are greatly fortunate for example or those who love their job in a Charity Store doing all from their heart to find new ways of selling donated goods so that more and more people will have the funds to prevent them living on the streets for example and many, many more examples a person has chosen to create or change or make a difference in life.

Hi guys, I'm a casual worker at a gymnastics club. I'm a friendly social guy, but i dont mind keeping to myself occasionally. I'm a respectful roommate and i spend most of my time that i'm not working gaming. So happy to help pay for a decent internet connection :)
Early retired due to some health issues, friendly but usually keep to myself not an overly chatty soul but will share a meal and bottle of wine on occasion. I need more space than a single room to do my sewing, painting, paper crafting, outside undercover available for bigger upcycled projects. anything creative. I like to cook, Sci Fi Geek, SoIaF (GoT) sustainability, caring for the planet, gardening. I already have most of the home furniture which is another reason I prefer to establish a place myself/with another person so there is equal identity on the home. Don't really feel it's fair to pay half the properties rent and be confined to a single room. I have black kitten who is my comfort animal and not negotiable. she's very devoted and hardly leaves my side.
Looking for a room available mid-late July. In Northern suburbs or as central as possible to city. $150-$180 a week at max. I'm an introverted, quiet retail worker usually working full day shifts and coming home exhausted. Or, working half day shifts and still coming home exhausted. I like my space, and a quiet evening environment, but am usually pretty happy to go out through the day, I'm not a total loner. I have pet rats that are caged and would only come out of said cage, in my space, you would not be made to interact with them, but they are pretty cute so I wouldn't say no either. I also have an indoor only, who currently lives with my parents, but bringing her with me would be ideal but not a deal breaker if I can't. I'm hoping to move into an established, organised share place, as I've not done this before, but have experience nannying and living with family, and I'd like this to be as uncomplicated as possible. I don't drive, so being close to public transportation is a must. If you'd have anything available then, or want to meet, let me know. I'll be overseas from the 22 may-8th of July, but am always happy to chat. Thanks in advance!
I'm 29, fun, relaxed and easy to get along with. I'm about to commence part time study and am looking for a place with an easy commute into the city. I occasionally work with a group called Riot City Wrestling, running lighting and sound. Apart from that and obviously being a big wrestling fan, I enjoy watching sport and also like to get out of the house and explore my surroundings.

Pressestimmen'... excellent new book ...'. The Guardian 'This is a lucidly written book [and] a rich source of reference to return to time and again, as we read, teach, or write about a Shakespeare play, or need to review one ourselves, and sense the need to enhance the experience by a reliable account of its stage potential.' Folio ' ... a comprehensive, richly detailed and thoughtful record of the period of Shakespearean production under scrutiny. In view of the broad readership which the book is likely to attract, this is to be welcomed ... English Shakespeares addresses in detail a brief slice of what is already theatrical history, but there are valuable lessons to be drawn from it about the possible futures of both Shakespearean production and production criticism.' Cahiers Elisabethains 'Mixing precise references to textual choices with analyses of acting, set design, direction, and the use of theatrical space, Holland sets a high standard with his thoughtful and sympathetic approach ... this book is a must not only for students of drama in performance, but also for theatregoers in general. A reliable if occasionally controversial record, Holland's book is a thoughtful mixture of journalistic immediacy and academic distance.' New Theatre Quarterly Book Reviews

Watain "The Wild Hunt" Track By Track Preview/
** The "Wild Hunt" listening party was held at Duff's in Brooklyn, New York on June 8th. Century Media hosted, with Erik Danielsson acting as infernal master of ceremonies. The track-by-track review was written on first listen at Duff's. Track 1: "Night Vision" Big slow intro build. Heavy metalesque segue, twin harmonic leads cutting the dirty distortion. Tympani drums signal the oncoming assault. Raw mix, up front, clear '80s production. Lots of space, buried guitar solos. Chaotic.
Track 2: "De Profundis" More direct, tremolo Swede vibe. Vocals feel like venom on skin. Could be a Sodom song---tight and riff simple---if it was done by a more musically adept Sarcofago. Then it goes into a Dissectionesque march, but still very much Watain. Triumphant mid-section. Very soundtrack-like.
Track 3. "Black Flames March" The trademark Swedish tremolo riff returns. Windswept in feel but also evil and grimy. The mid-section breaks open, spacey and focused on a drum/vocal call and response. Nice solo transition into a rocking movement that could've been on Tormentor's Anno Domini record.
Track 4. "All That May Bleed" Reading the lyrics to this song as it plays gives it a new dimension. It rolls along, powerful and purposeful. Erik's rolling the "r", too. There's a violent mid-section; feels like something out of South America but sounds like no one. The tight thrash riff that explodes out of the brief solo is Germanic. The amount of production "things" is also of note. Whether it's the bubbling bass or background noises, there's more here than a "song." "All That May Bleed" is the 7-inch single.
Track 5: "The Child Must Die" Very much in line with the black/death of Unanimated. Erik's vocals clear and commanding, a sense of climatic danger. The drum production is of notice. Huge and impactful. The coruscating melodic guitar could be on a Mörk Gryning record, like Maelstrom Chaos. The rocking end, with the bass and guitar lines guiding the song to its inevitable resolution.
Track 6: "They Rode On" Introspective. Singing! Very singer/songwriter. Pensive. Will surprise. Feels a bit like a Root song from The Book, without the Bohemian vibe. Or maybe something like Bay Laurel would do on Days of Joy. Very Swedish in mood. Great end of Side A track. Guitar work is fantastic. Feels like Erik's invoked Quorthon. But this is very much individual. It's a genuine song construction. The solo is fucking brilliant. Slow and melodic, lengthy it takes over before Erik's vocals return.
Track 7: "Sleepless Evil" Brutal. Some kind of nasty, barely unbridled version of German/South American death. The alternating tremolo guitar the only indication this song of Swedish origin. Horror movie piano break. Dynamic. Big production. Drums sound massive. Guitars churn. Thrashy break into a more black metal assault. Solos clash, break. Direct and uncompromising. Consider this a response to track 5.
Track 8: "Wild Hunt" This is the single. To me. Ritualistic. Choir vocals. Sort of what Bathory did on Blood Fire Death. Dark, slow and melodic. There's menace present but it's an ancient menace. Something finally awake after a long slumber. Solo is great. Depressive yet engaging. Funeral march-like. Again, feels like Bathory on Hammerheart. Erik's singing. A bit of a Pink Floyd feel. Outro is great. Big and reflective. Strange flamenco finale.
Track 9: "Outlaw" Pulling in ancient voodoo/religious vibe. Unleashes hell. Fast, spitting black. Cool thrash solo, weird prog movement. Solo's chaotic, wild, recalling the late '80s. Oh, there's a Maybe Voivod if they worshiped the devil and dined on the dead. Not evil just noisy and different. Voodoo vibe comes back. Maybe inspired by the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom soundtrack. Ends suddenly.
Track 10: "Ignem Veni Mittere" Instrumental. A break. Shows Watain's melodic side. An evil bit closes it out. They're developing at a frightening pace. While one one hand, they're brutal and uncompromising, on the other they're nostalgic, reflective, and musical. The marriage of the two styles will surely bring more interesting things in the future.
Track 11: "Holocaust Dawn" Brutal yet experimental. Choirs. Waltz part with tremolo guitars. Arabic section, with talking and atonal strings. Fast blasts dominate. This is Watain in 7-minute frame. This the past, the present, and future of Watain. Certainly, it'll divide the purists, but the purists see only out of one eye. Sadly.
** Watain's The Wild Hunt is out August 20th in North America.

Leading government adviser Professor Ian Fells, who first highlighted his concerns after the New York blackout, said: "We are operating with a vastly underfunded system running on razorthin safety margins."
It is still unclear what caused the blackout. It is believed transformers failed on the 275,000 volt power lines used to bring electricity from power stations around the UK to the edge of London.
This caused power to a circuit serving Wimbledon, Hurst and New Cross to fail. Further problems occurred due to the time it took to bring this circuit back online.
A spokesman for National Grid Transco (NGT) said: "It's rather like having to re-boot your computer. It's making sure the systems are working properly before we put the big bulk supplies back on to the system."
Operated by NGT, the high power lines that are believed to have failed form the backbone of the grid that feeds power to the whole of the UK.
These high voltage lines feed into a second, lower voltage grid operated by EDF Energy, which is responsible for taking power to homes and businesses around London and the South-East.
London Underground, however, has its own deal to receive power directly from the national grid. Until last October it operated its own power station in Lots Road, Battersea. This closed following a £108 million government-backed private finance deal.
EDF Energy confirmed its system had not caused the failure, and had operated correctly throughout the blackout. A spokesman said: "We are waiting for an explanation from National Grid Transco ourselves."
NGT refused to speculate on the exact cause of the blackout, claiming it would need to complete a thorough investigation.
Power experts believe the failure of the high power supply lines revealed a glitch in the computer software that operates the power grid.
Professor Fells said: "It appears a software glitch in the the computers that run the grid failed, causing the loss.
"Originally it seems the problem was a transformer failure, but that's pretty common and should not have caused this amount of trouble. It was really a mini New York, with a small fault cascading into a larger one. I think we were actually quite lucky - this could potentially have wiped out power all around the UK.
"So many of our power stations have been mothballed for financial reasons that we are operating right on the edge of safety margin. Twenty years ago, we kept reserves of up to 28per cent. Now they are into single figures."
Electrical engineering expert Dr Tim Green, from Imperial College, said: "Events like these are normally caused by a mismatch in supply and demand, if you don't have enough supply it can cause a dramatic collapse."
Four years before Lots Road was sold, a 30-year contract for providing the Tube's power had been given to Seeboard Powerlink (SPL), requiring it to "manage, maintain, develop and finance" the system. SPL, made up of electricity company Seeboard, construction giant Balfour Beatty and technology company ABB, provided finances to upgrade the technology to allow the Tube to take power directly from the National Grid.
But in the event of a failure, a smaller power station at Greenwich - equipped with "quick start" gas turbines - was to be used for emergency power. SPL also installed battery lighting at all stations for use in an emergency. During the first five years of the contract, SPL was required to install equipment to provide emergency supplies to the railway "in the event of a major power failure".Reuse content

More Hispanics tell Census that they are "White."
Over the past 10 years, a growing number of Hispanics have changed their race and origin to "white," according to top Census officials.While whites, blacks and Asians generally kept their status between the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census review of the population, Hispanics, especially among younger immigrants, were quicker to change.In a working paper titled "America's Changing Races: Race and Ethic Response Changes between Census 2000 and the 2010 Census," the authors found that at 9.7 million Hispanics changed their racial and origin status.Of those, 2.3 million changed from "Hispanic-some other race" to "Hispanic white," and 417,855 just declared themselves "white."The study, published last week, is the largest ever to look at how Census respondents change their racial status between the population surveys taken every decade.The Census Bureau determined that between 2000 and 2010, 8.3 percent of Hispanics changed their "race and/or Hispanic origin response." For blacks it was 5 percent and just 1 percent for whites.
Quick! More racial polarization!

The governor says his family worked with the Kennedys over the years on a variety of political campaigns. Baldacci served in Congress with Senator Kennedy's son, Patrick, too.The governor says he has a lot of fond memories of Ted Kennedy – some serious, some not so serious. "I remember him coming through the restaurant in Bangor and he came in through the kitchen and he had to stop when he went by the tray of breadsticks and had to grab a couple on his way out. He had a ferocious appetite but he also had a ferocious appetite for public service and he was larger than life."The governor says Kennedy will be remembered for landmark legislation on such issues as education and health insurance for children – and for reaching across the political aisle to find common ground on those issues.

Chile wines
The wines of Chile are influenced by many things, not just the bewildering collection of micro-climates along the flanks of the Andes and in the hot inland valleys, but also by the men and women who grow the grapes and make the wines.
There are the original grape planters, mostly from stout Basque or sturdy Catalan stock. French influence in the industry was prominent from the middle of the 19th century and in later times, German, Swiss, Croatian and American wine-makers and investors have flooded into the country.
But the Italians have had perhaps the greatest impact. Getting off the migrant boats last century, they fanned out looking for good land. No matter what crops they raised, there was always a patch of vines to make the family wine.
Some of these plantings have emerged as noble wines of distinction. One example is the Cremaschi Furlotti family, which concentrates on making a chardonnay and a cabernet sauvignon in an environmentally friendly manner. The result is splendid wines.
At the recent Vinexpo wine show in Hong Kong, Chile stole much of the attention. Among the 50 wineries showing their products was Cremeschi, whose labelling alone is sufficiently persuasive to make you try their wines.
It was the company's first venture into Asia. They tell me negotiations to find an agent are going well and the first shipments of this most drinkable wine should be on sale here soon.

Item description for SIMUL by Mark Patrick Odland..."While serving at a church in 2005 I began to dream about publishing an anthology of poetry written by Lutherans. After personally contacting 28 Lutheran colleges, 8 Lutheran seminaries, and almost 8,000 Lutheran congregations, the poetry submissions poured in by the hundreds, making my dream a reality. When the final deadline had passed, I had received over 1,200 poems written by pastors, professors, and dozens of everyday Lutherans from all walks of life. Selected authors range from newly discovered talent to well-known Lutheran poets and hymn writers. To hear their stories and read their poetry was a great gift to me, and I will be forever grateful for the experience. It is my hope and prayer that these poems might find a special place in your heart, and that they might be a blessing to you and your family now and for years to come." - Mark Odland, editor Mark Patrick Odland is a published poet and visual artist from Alexandria, MN. A graduate of Augustana College and Luther Seminary, Mark currently serves as pastor of outreach and new ministry development at Living Waters Lutheran Church in Sauk Rapids, MN. He is happily married to Rachel, and they are expecting their first child (a little girl ) in September of 2007. Mark feels a strong calling to encourage, inspire, and nourish the arts within the larger church, and believes that the creation of SIMUL - Lutheran Voices in Poetry, is simply one of many ways to help make this a reality.

It took 15 words to bring down accounting giant Arthur Andersen; and those fateful words, as lawyers will not need reminding, were written by one of their own. Last month, a US jury stunned commentators – not to mention US government prosecutors – by pulling out one seemingly innocuous email from the mountain of evidence at its disposal and identifying it as the "smoking gun" to seal the fate of the accountants.
The fateful words were contained in an email written by Andersen's in-house lawyer Nancy Temple to her partner David Duncan, proposing changes to a memo Duncan had prepared concerning Enron's third-quarter results. At 8.39pm on 16 October last year, Temple fired off her now notorious advice and "suggested deleting some language that might suggest we have concluded the release is misleading". In essence, she was proffering the most common kind of advice that lawyers give on a daily basis – "Don't put it in writing". And the rest, as they say, is history.
William Lytton, chairman of the Am-erican Corporate Counsel Association (ACCA), summed up neatly the incredulity of many lawyers. Faced with the post-Enron fallout, he wrote recently in a letter to his members: "Who amongst us has not thought: 'There but for the grace of God go I.'"
Indeed, Temple did "what lawyers do", acknowledges ACCA president Fred Krebs. "She has been pilloried and made out to be a villain in some parts of the media, but there is not much she can do about that," he adds.
Nor are lawyers on this side of the Atlantic quick to judge. Paul Gilbert, the Law Society Council member representing in-house lawyers and former head of legal at Cheltenham & Gloucester building society, believes that the email "almost certainly wasn't written with the interpretation that it was later given". But that is often the lot of the in-house lawyer. "You can have a situation where, almost without any warning, your own innocuous [actions] can be construed negatively against you," he says. "It happens with the gloriousness of 20-20 hindsight."
Lawyers may sympathise with Temples' predicament, but the US politicians and public are likely to be in a less forgiving mood.
Earlier in the month, the Senate passed anti-fraud legislation that included a controversial provision imposing strict ethical responsibilities on lawyers for corporations. In the wake of the Andersen conviction, Senator John Edwards, a lawyer who is behind the proposal, argued that it was no use just blaming managers and accountants, because if they were operating on the wrong side of the law, what exactly were their legal advisers doing?
"Wherever executives or accountants are at work in America today, lawyers are looking over their shoulder," Edwards told the Senate last month. "If the executives and the accountants are breaking the law, you can be sure that the lawyers aren't doing their jobs."
The American Bar Association (ABA) has been doing its own soul-searching and for the last four months a taskforce on corporate reliance has been looking at the lessons that lawyers can learn from Enron, WorldCom and other such cases.
Professional sympathy for Temple is underscored by a growing feeling that the Andersen jury simply got it wrong. Professor Stephen Gillers, vice-dean and professor of law at the New York University School of Law, wrote a recent opinion piece in The New York Times, arguing that the Temple email was bona fide legal advice. "The case against Andersen was worth prosecuting, but the jury's flaw is giving the government a victory that is hard to accept," he concluded. The article appeared on the day that Senator Edwards was arguing in the Senate that "[the] findings in the Andersen case only highlight the role of lawyers in American business today".
The jury found Andersen guilty of obstructing the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) investigation into the Enron collapse. But it arrived at this conclusion only after ditching the case prepared by the government: that Temple and others had instructed employees to comply with their document retention policy, which amounted to a coded signal to destroy documents. The government charged Andersen under the federal law that makes it a crime if a person 'corruptly persuades' another to alter documents.
Instead, the jurors appear to have come up with their own theory. It was the chief juror who, after the trial, told the press that the 16 October email was the crux of their case. "This memorandum was never the basis of the government claim," says Professor Gillers. "I think it's a fairly innocuous document, but the jury pulled it out as 'the smoking gun'."
The brief email comprises three paragraphs, in which Temple asserts that certain losses should not be described as "nonrecurring" in a forthcoming press release. In the first paragraph, the lawyer recommends deleting any reference to herself and the legal group to protect client-attorney privilege; and in the last, she says she would consult with other Andersen lawyers as to "whether we should do anything to protect ourselves more". According to Gillers, both pieces of advice are "quite routine".
But it was the second paragraph – in which she recommended "deleting some language that might suggest we have concluded the release is misleading" – that was key. According to the professor, the jurors focused on this passage because "it suggests Duncan takes something away from what she has written", and they appear to conclude that such advice was tantamount to altering a document.
Gillers detects an irony in the flawed logic. "Nancy Temple was asked by client David Duncan for legal advice and she gave what she and most lawyers would recognise as a kind of legal advice. Maybe she was right or maybe she was wrong," he says. "By virtue of giving legal advice to her client, she not only risked an obstruction charge against herself but she created the vicarious liability of the client for her conduct." There is "a circularity" to the argument that "is really just weird, to say the least", he adds.
But the professor also points to a provision under the US obstruction statute that says the charge "does not prohibit or punish the providing of lawful bona fide legal representation services in connection with, or anticipation of, an official proceeding". The defence, which Gillers calls the "lawyer safe harbour", never came up last month. It is an omission for which the academic has two possible explanations. First, he reckons that no one thought that the 16 October email was relevant and "so there was no reason to raise it".
But there is another explanation that Gillers regards as more plausible. As he points out, Temple was one of four Andersen officials that the government identified as the "corrupt persuaders" whose behaviour caused the destruction of documents. "The government claimed for each of those four that the firm was criminally liable for their conduct," he argues. "Only one was a lawyer; and so the defence lawyers – I'm just surmising – may have been reluctant to raise the safe harbour defence because only one of the four could enjoy it."
Michael Flynn, a corporate partner with Salans Hertzfeld & Heilbronn's New York office, believes that Gillers' analysis in The New York Times is "100 per cent correct". "I don't think you'd find anyone who would disagree with his conclusions," he adds. He believes that the Andersen case goes to illustrate the difficulty of trying to pin corporate responsibility on a company, no matter how obvious its criminal intent was. "At the end of the day, the only thing they could make a charge stick on was a very attenuated obstruction of justice charge resulting from a lawyer's change to a document retention memo," he says.
In the context of an otherwise healthy company, the lawyer does not believe that "anyone would have found the revision in the least bit objectionable". He continues: "To my mind, that points to the extraordinary difficulty under US security laws to bring a criminal charge for even a massive fraud along the lines of Enron."
Krebs at ACCA also "wholeheartedly" agrees with the concerns about the Andersen case. "Nancy Temple did what lawyers do," he says. "You have the sense that the government tried a case on one theory and the jury didn't buy it. However, they wanted to do something and so they came up with their own theory."
|Corporate responsibility: what the American Bar Association does next
"Lawyers sometimes forget that they owe their loyalty to the corporation and to shareholders, not the CEO [chief executive officer] they play golf with," Senator John Edwards said last month. "One of the problems we see in this crisis in corporate misconduct, is that some lawyers have forgotten their responsibility."

Setting and unsetting flags is a no-brainer, but how do you just check to see if a flag such as 'gtk.SENSITIVE' is set for something like a button? Here's an example of how easy it is.
Use the bitwise and operator, '&' with the flag you're interested in.
It's pretty simple but hard to find this answer when you're looking for a method to extract a bool value. I wish it was as easy as using 'is_sensitive()' that returns true if the widget flag 'gtk.SENSITIVE' is set. But use the ampersand with the flags and you're all set.
This is specifically for pygtk and only applicable to buttons, really you should be moving to QT because everything from documentation to implementation of a button is that just much smoother.
Here's a short example of checking for a save button's sensitivity before proceeding to quit the main loop. This is something you may use when a quit button is clicked but changes have been made to a document and you want to give the user one last chance to save before exiting your application.
def quit(self, widget): if self.button_save.flags() & gtk.SENSITIVE: msg = "Save changes before closing?" dialog = gtk.MessageDialog(None, gtk.DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT, gtk.MESSAGE_INFO, gtk.BUTTONS_YES_NO, msg) dialog.set_title("There are unsaved Changes") dialog.set_position(gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER) dialog.set_keep_above(True) response = dialog.run() dialog.destroy() if response != gtk.RESPONSE_YES: return False gtk.main_quit()
