Boothroyd hails 'massive' win
Northampton manager Aidy Boothroyd is urging his side to kick on following their first win in nine games with a 2-0 win at AFC Wimbledon.
Last Updated: 05/10/13 10:03pm
Northampton manager Aidy Boothroyd is urging his side to kick on following their first win in nine games with a 2-0 win at AFC Wimbledon.
Lee Collins poked home 20th-minute opener when he raced on to Darren Carter's free-kick - Northampton's first away goal of the season.
Stuart Dallas made sure of Northampton's second league win of the season with 16 minutes remaining as he scored a fine solo goal to double the visitors' lead.
Matt Duke made a fine save to deny promotion-chasing Wimbledon's Harry Pell an injury-time consolation and Boothroyd hopes this is where the Cobblers' season picks up.
"We've got to build on this, Wimbledon were in fantastic form and it's a good result for us," he said.
"We know we've had a bad start, but I've been really, really pleased with the last two games.
"We stuck at it and we were very, very solid. If anything we could've scored more goals, the opportunities were there.
"They're where they are in the league for a reason, and we knew it would be tough to beat them, and two clean sheets in a row make this a massive, massive result.
"When we're away from home we're there to frustrate and to upset. Our away record in my time hasn't been great, but our home record has been fantastic.
"If we can get it back on track, and pick up the odd result like this, in the next 10 games we'll be a lot happier. I'm not getting too excited, but I'm genuinely very, very happy."

Casseroles > Vegetables > Broccoli Casserole >
Broccoli Casserole
1 LB frozen broccoli florets, steamed (or use fresh broccoli)
1/2 C chopped onion
1/4 C butter or margarine
2 cans condensed cream-of-mushroom soup
1/4 C shredded cheddar cheese
Steam the broccoli until crisp-tender; drain. Shred the cheese. Place the steamed broccoli and shredded cheese in a 2-quart casserole dish. Sauté chopped onions in butter; add to casserole dish. Mix the casserole ingredients together. Bake in a 350-degree F oven for thirty minutes. Note: Instead of baking, try microwaving the casserole (covered) for about four minutes. The only advantage to oven-baking might be the formation of a crust.
Variation: Add fresh-sliced mushrooms, cooked chicken breast (chopped) and a can of cream-of-chicken soup into mixture before baking (as pictured above).

Kathy Griffin Talks Smack About Hollywood's Biggest Names
PHOTOS: Kathy Gfriffin Live In-Studio
No one is off limits when it comes to Kathy Griffin… she's a love all, hate all kind of comedian and just like the rest of us, she's knee deep in trashy Hollywood gossip. That is, after all, where she gets her best material!
In her upcoming NYC show, "Bite My Big Apple" at Carnegie Hall as a part of the New York Comedy Festival, she's warned that some of her targets will include Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift (just to name a few).
The three-time Emmy winner attributes her success to keeping current. She told Elvis Duran and the Morning Show that she stays relevant by doing jokes about the latest Hollywood scandals. Kardashian "mom-a-ger" Kris Jenner even publically asked Kathy to lay off making fun of her reality TV show family. Of course she refused.
There is one celebrity she speaks the praises of, "I'm all about Miley….. I love slutty Miley. I don't care for Hannah Montana. I find her to be boring. I like nudity on a wrecking ball. I like that she's bringing back 'Doc Martens'…… I'm grateful that she's bringing back a comfortable lesbian shoe."
Recently Griffin set the world record for "Most Comedy Stand-Up Specials by a Comedian". Her 20th comedy special is set to air this December on the Bravo Network.
Check out her LIVE In-Studio interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show below:

What was the cost of this project?
You don't want to know. Start by multiplying the cost of the serial RGB matrix by 64 then add in a couple hundred hours of engineering and assembly. I'm sure we could do if for much cheaper now, but we learned a lot.

Half a Life (original 2001; edition 2001)
by V.S. Naipaul
Work details
Half a Life by V. S. Naipaul (2001)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Literature, Novel, creative nonfiction, fiction, autobiography, history, India, Nobel Prize,
Reads as a long short story of an Indian finding his way in life and love. Would have been better as a short story.
Read Oct 2006
Young Willie Chandran asks his father to explain why he has been given the middle name of Somerset, as Willie is being teased about it at school . The father tells the boy of the tiny acts of rebelliousness that led to meeting a famous English author, but also to the unwanted and unsuitable marriage between his parents. Learning of his father's feelings towards his beloved mother, Willie begins to hate his father and carries that hatred into adulthood, with his focus in life being to escape from his family and India's caste system. His father's connections lead to an Oxford scholarship and autonomy for the first time, with Willie making choices about his future and dealing with social relationships he really doesn't understand. 4.2 stars
Read my review of the book here:
wonderful writing, one can immediately see why this author is so highly rated
''Half a Life,'' the fierce new novel by V. S. Naipaul, the new Nobel laureate, is one of those rare books that stands as both a small masterpiece in its own right and as a potent distillation of the author's work to date, a book that recapitulates all his themes of exile, postcolonial confusion, third world angst, and filial love and rebellion while recounting with uncommon elegance and acerbity the story of the coming of age of its hero, Willie Chandran.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 037570728X, Paperback)Half a Life finds the veteran Booker and Nobel Prize-winning author V.S. Naipaul on familiar territory, blending autobiography and fiction in an exploration of the "half lives" of individuals brought up in the English colonies and educated in metropolitan cities.
Naipaul's protagonist is Willie Somerset Chandran, named after Somerset Maugham's encounter with Willie's father in the 1930s while traveling "to get material for a novel about spirituality." Willie travels to England for his education, where he becomes "part of the special, passing bohemian-immigrant life of London of the late 1950s." Willie soon realizes that his colonial background allows him to write short stories for well-meaning white liberals, and he begins "to understand that he was free to present himself as he wished" and that he could "remake himself and his past" through his writing. The effect is suffocating rather than liberating, and he marries a vaguely sketched "girl or young woman from an African country," who has read his one published book. Willie begins another "half life" in colonial Mozambique, where he soon tires of the domestic and sexual tedium of plantation life and flees to Germany, mournfully reflecting that "I have been hiding for too long."
This is classic Naipaul, with its effortless dissection of the damaging personal consequences of post-war decolonization, but its virtue seems its primary vice, as the novel feels like a conflation of several earlier Naipaul books, including The Mimic Men and the brilliant A Bend in the River. Consequently, some readers may well find that Half a Life reads more like half a novel. --Jerry Brotton, Amazon.co.uk
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:21 -0400)
"Half a Life is the story of Willie Chandran, whose father, heeding the call of Mahatma Gandhi, turned his back on his brahmin heritage and married a woman of low caste - a disastrous union he would live to regret, as he would the children that issued from it. When Willie reaches manhood, his flight from the travails of his mixed birth takes him from India to London, where, in the shabby haunts of immigrants and literary bohemians of the 1950s, he contrives a new identity. This is what happens as he tries to defeat self-doubt in sexual adventures and in the struggle to become a writer - strivings that bring him to the brink of exhaustion, from which he is rescued, to his amazement, only by the love of a good woman. And this is what happens when he returns with her - carried along, really - to her home in Africa, to live, until the last doomed days of colonialism, yet another life not his own."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

It's very hard to wax poetic about the mundane
... to compose symphonies about the everyday
or write haikus about non-events
To talk about something you're not even sure of...
I feel as though I'm spinning around a bit and the
universe is completely still...And silent.
...I'd like a crystal ball and Joshua Radin's
album to help me sift through...
It seems I care...
Trying to be so understanding of a situation I do
not actually understand...
Keeping silent to prove a point... Then realizing
it's not a point I should have to proove
Having to be "mature" about things
I bloody HATE it
In the process of long-distance and constant
compromise what gets inside the pie chart and
what's left out cold on the white un-lined paper?
Nobody said it was easy...
But nobody said it was this hard
But then when I juxtapose d confusion with the
moments of akward perfection... Your kooky ears and
non-rhythmic dance... Your jokes that sometimes
aren't funny to anyone but you... Your kind spirit,
How you always want to make everything alright...
Your ability to just "be".
The meals that you believe you can make...
Moments of great take-out...
The fact that I get to "be"
Sunshine... Warm breezes and sandals...
Joy & Story & Character & Honesty
Who understands the gander?
The goose
It is possible to be part of something
yet outside looking in on it?
Is it possible to not know everything there
is to know about a person yet feel a part of their core?
Is it possible to participate minimally but
be invested maximally? Or the reverse?
Or create a median of the two?
Is it possible to make time move backwards,
then forward and just stop suddenly.
Then make it pick up again and start
spinning against its own axis?
Is it possible to confuse yourself even
further when writing to make sense of things?
Your certainty unnerves me...
So I'm leaving this one to the universe, Sia & time.
Jesus take the wheel.

ADP: A Good Jobs Indicator, an Even Better CompanyBy
ADP reported today that the private-sector added 209,000 jobs in March, and the company revised its February number up, from 216,000 to 230,000. Not bad, considering there was some concern that we'd see a dip in hiring because warm weather seems to have pulled economic activity forward into January and February. That dip may be yet to come, though.
The ADP employment report typically precedes the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics non-farm payroll number by a few days, giving the market a preview of the official government jobs number, which includes both public and private non-farm payrolls. The March report will be released on April 6.
For the most part, the ADP private-sector report has been a strong indicator of what to expect from the government, although its accuracy does waver at times. Over the last six months, ADP came closest to the Labor Department's private-sector jobs number back in October, when it overstated the gain by 6,000, according to Bloomberg. Going back a decade, the ADP and BLS numbers track pretty closely with each other. From April 2002 through April 2012, they've differed by a monthly average of about 69,000.
That includes a couple of periods in which their paths diverged dramatically—most notably in the spring of 2010, when the government added thousands of temporary workers to conduct the Census. As a result, the BLS jobs number spiked to 516,000 in May 2010, only to fall over the next four months. Since June 2010, ADP's private-sector payrolls have outpaced the BLS numbers, with 371,000 more jobs than the BLS-reported payrolls, evidence of government job cuts over the last two years.
While ADP's payrolls report acts as a strong barometer of the country's total employment picture, what about ADP as a company? Founded in 1949 by accountant Henry Taub, Automatic Data Processing is the largest payroll company in the U.S., with a $27 billion market cap and a business-model that's about as dependable as they come. Each month, ADP, based in Roseland, N.J., processes payrolls for more than 500,000 businesses, taking a tiny cut from each processed paycheck. As long as companies are paying their employees, ADP's revenue (now more than $10 billion) seems safe. The company's profit margins have averaged 14.8 percent since 2005; with virtually no debt on its books, ADP is one of just four companies in the S&P 500 with a AAA credit rating—a distinction Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway lost last year.
Its stock is also a darling among dividend investors. Last year ADP increased its cash dividend by 10 percent, to $1.58 per share, the 37th consecutive year of raising its dividend. Companies that combine a low credit risk with a healthy cash dividend don't exactly grow on trees. With virtually no debt of its own and about $17 billion of cash in client funds, ADP would actually prefer an environment of higher interest rates, as Seeking Alpha pointed out in January. The fact that the company has done so well amid such low rates is to its credit. Should interest rates rise in the future, so could ADP's share price.

mmm, not sure now what to buy, really like Nokia, i have yet to have a bad Nokia phone. Currently using a 6110 Navigator, and love it, probably the best phone i have had ,but was thinking of a change. The X6 has mixed reviews, same with the N97 mini, both phones that i really fancied. Think i will stay as i am for a bit longer unless anybody has some good suggestions.( not I-phone )
@DB What is your Budget? What features are you looking for in your next phone? I.e. Touchscreen, GPS ect? What do you want to use your phone for (i.e. mobile internet, music player)
A good place to look is the GSM arena as you can search for the features that you are interested in having, then check out the reviews on each phone individually
If you want to stay with Nokia's, and youre not that fussed about having a touchscreen (I know im not, I text and do short messgaes much quicker on a touchpad than a touchscreen) then maybe the Nokia E75?
If it helps any I'm up for renewal at the end of the month and I'm looking at either the Motorolla Milestone or the N900. Nexus One is intriguing but ideally I want a keyboard
@db what sort of reviews did your 6110 Navigator get? I often find it best to strip out all the judgements from the reviews, just read them for the factual info and then make your own judgement.
I have an N97 mini, on Orange (not orange branded though), and I thoroughly recommend it. I haven't had any problems with it. It's true that the interface isn't as slick as competitors, but that's an inconvenience rather than a major problem. And you have to weight that against the better spec (screen res, keyboard, camera, etc).
Thanks for the comments Stelph, as for budget, this is not a problem, i was going to spend up to about £400 pounds. I always buy sim free now as i have the deal i want from my current operator.
I've had one of these handsets from Orange now for almost 2 months now, and although the handset itself is nice and sturdy and the interface is Ok and quite user friendly, I'm looking to get rid of it, these handsets are awfull with signal strength (side by side with my old trusty N95, one has 4 bars the N97 has no service) and random crashes/power offs (on the latest software), I'm on my 3rd handset now with the same problems and Orange have decided to pull the product from their range I just found out. It's very unfortunate !
Just bought an N97 mini, and love it. The screen is excellent, the operating system seems to be ok, had no problems with freezing and the battery life is good. No probs, recommended

I really enjoyed the interactions between Ledo the protagonist, and all the people he meets because you get to see him evolve over time and change ...Read more
Fantastic! Better than a lot of other anime!When this series started airing i thought that the cover picture looked interesting so i decided to give it a try. I watched a little of the first episode and turned away from it because it seemed too confusing(thought i had to read the Manga/Light novel first)Read more

Different take on Sci-Fi, Well Executed!First off, before I get into the pros and cons, let me say that this anime has one of the most interesting settings, and if you are NOT looking for something new and unique, you should not watch this! =]Read more
With that said, on to my actual review:

Probably one of the best anime series in 2013Thirteen episodes of really good personal devlopment of the main protagonist. This show starts off on a bang and then slows down and then picks right back up where it was.Read more
The story is great, probably one of the best twists I have seen in an Anime. Literally is one of the best twists since Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, but not quites as big since it is only a 13 episode series.

An excellent anime to watch while you're waiting for your favorite anime's next release.The cover art first had me thinking it was going to be some ONE PIECE type of anime with a mech running around, though, this was very much to my surprise a well written story. Without ruining any of the story giving away too much about it. I will say the main character reminds me of the movie [Soldier] with Kurt Russell. A soldier who basically knows only the life of a soldier & the mission ...Read more
Sad it ended with 13 episodes. I want more!I wish it was more then just then just 13 episodes. They could of gone into more depth, but even for scratching the surface it was AMAZING. I loved the language barrier, love the characters. There was a little lollygagging around the early middle, but it was a great watch.
Surprise! This isn't a Mecha anime...Despite the prominent mecha on the title art, you can't really call this a mecha anime; the role of the robots is minimal at best. The Mecha's AI, on the other hand, is a major player, and is well used as a narrative device to explain the more subtle details of the world. The characters are realistic and develop in ways that make sense. Romance is lacking; much is hinted at a future between the ...Read more

Mistakes that Happen in Gold Investment
Gold is still rated as the most profitable investment compared with other investments, such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds and bank deposits. That's because the gold price is predicted to still have the potential to handle and secured than other investments. Although seems profitable, sometimes there are some disadvantages that inadvertently you do when investing in gold. Curious? click here and see the common mistakes made:
– Buying Gold Without See the Physical
More advanced technology to make the investment can be performed online. Except for gold investment, you should never try to do it because it is very risky. Never you want to invest in physical gold without receiving gold, although given the benefit bid. If you've already bought gold without physically, make sure the party store trustworthy gold and gold was kept in a safe place that can be taken at any time.
– Irresponsible in Saving Gold
Treat gold as a property that needs to be kept, so that you do not keep it irresponsibly. Choose a safe place gold deposit. When the amount of gold that you have been a lot, start a gold deposit into a bank or pawn shops to make it more secure. Although saved, you can still take the gold, whenever you need.
– Buying or Selling Gold in Time Not Right
When you buy gold, you need to estimate when the right time to buy because the price of gold is volatile. We recommend that you buy when the price of gold is cheap, and sell it once the price is high. Therefore, you must be patient to wait for the selling price of gold that you want if you want to sell or buy them back. Do not rush.
– Buying Gold in Large Size
Actually buying gold in large sizes are more profitable than the small size for the price "gram" will be cheaper. But to buy in large measure, you must have substantial funds. But you should also know that gold in the form of bars or large size will be more difficult to sell than the small sized gold. Therefore, if you want to use gold to be withdrawn at any time, you need to invest a small sized gold. So, just adjust the gold investment needs. Or you can just combine between small and large sizes.

A real breakthrough in breeding, this rare and unusual Hyacinth makes a dramatic specimen plant for your spring beds, borders and containers; producing highly fragrant black-purple blooms in March and April. Plant Hyacinth 'Midnight Mystic'® in groups for a truly breathtaking display. For the darkest black blooms grow Hyacinth 'Midnight Mystic'® outdoors, as flowers will have more purple tones when grown indoors. Height: 25cm (10"). Spread: 8cm (3"). Supplied as bulbs.
Useful links:
How to plant bulbs, corms and tubers
Caution: irritant to skin and eyes, harmful if eaten. For outdoor displays, plant hyacinth bulbs in October and November, with the pointed end facing upwards, at a depth of approximately 10cm (4"). Choose a sunny or semi shaded position in moist, free draining soil.
For an attractive indoor display, plant Hyacinths in containers of bulb fibre or potting compost with the tip of the bulb just visible above the soil surface. Position them in a cool garage or other well ventilated, dark position at a maximum temperature of 7°C for around 6 weeks. Only water bulbs when necessary to keep the compost moist. When the growing shoots reach a height of 3cm (1") move the containers to a cool bright position indoors.

MOSCOW – A Moscow court on Thursday convicted Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky of tax evasion, provoking fresh outrage more than three years after his prison death.
Magnitsky was convicted along with his former boss, the U.S.-born British citizen William Browder, the head of the Hermitage Capital investment fund, who was sentenced in absentia to nine years in a prison colony.
The case against Magnitsky ended with the verdict and a refusal to exonerate him because the authorities can't take a case against a dead man any further.
The trial of a deceased person was almost unprecedented in post-Soviet Russia, raising concerns the judicial authorities under Putin had continued to persecute Magnitsky because of the political furor over his death.
Washington criticized the court's ruling in a case that has strained relations between the two countries.
"We are disappointed by the unprecedented posthumous criminal conviction against Sergei Magnitsky," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "The trial was a discredit to the efforts of those who continue to seek justice in his case."
Russia's authorities should instead have prosecuted those responsible for his death, she added.
Rights group Amnesty International denounced the posthumous verdict as the "pinnacle of absurd." Convicting a dead man instead of investigating how he died sets a "dangerous precedent," it said.
Journalists packed the tiny courtroom of the Tverskoy District Court in central Moscow where the judge read the verdict so quietly it could only be heard through headphones of television crews with microphones.
The metal cage, where defendants normally hear the verdict, stood empty. Browder is based in London.
The financier, who for several years has overseen a campaign to bring to justice officials implicated in Magnitsky's death, vowed to continue his efforts despite the conviction.
"Today's verdict will go down in history as one of the most shameful moments for Russia since the days of Josef Stalin," he said in an emailed statement. "The desperation behind this move shows the lengths that Putin is ready to go and to retaliate against anyone who exposes the stealing and corruption he presides over."
Magnitsky had accused interior ministry officials of organizing a $235 million tax scam against Browder's investment company, Hermitage Capital, but was then charged with the very crimes he said he had uncovered.
He was placed under pre-trial detention in 2008 and died of untreated illnesses less than a year later at the age of 37.
Browder and many Russian rights campaigners have said Magnitsky was tortured to death with beatings and the refusal of proper medical care.
However, after Putin said late last year that Magnitsky died of a heart attack, Russia dropped the probe into his death, citing "lack of evidence," and acquitted an official of Moscow's Butyrka prison where the man was held.
The dead man's mother and his widow have boycotted the trial sessions and asked Moscow's legal community to do the same, but the judge appointed two lawyers to the case at risk of disbarment.
"I have not been authorized (by the family) to do anything, so I will say nothing," Nikolai Gerasimov, who was appointed to represent Magnitsky, told reporters after the trial. Browder's defense lawyer, Kirill Goncharov, said he would appeal the verdict.
President Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania, which assumed the presidency of the European Union this month, said the ruling was "symbolic and should be assessed negatively."
Magnitsky's death led to one of the biggest Washington-Moscow rows in years.
Late last year the U.S. passed the "Sergei Magnitsky Act" which imposed a visa ban and froze the assets of Russian officials implicated in the lawyer's death.
The move infuriated Moscow, which in retaliation passed legislation prohibiting Americans from adopting Russian children.
Russia's Constitutional Court made it possible to try deceased people under a July 2011 ruling that allowed families of late defendants to push for their exoneration by the courts.
The first posthumous conviction was handed down just last week when a Moscow court convicted a woman of causing a head-on car collision in 2010 in which she was killed.
Olga Alexandrina was behind the wheel when she collided with the car of an oil executive. Her family had tried to have her exonerated by arguing that she had stayed in her lane while the executive's car swerved into oncoming traffic.

Question Details:
Maryland is what is known as a "contributory negligence" state. With contributory negligence, the plaintiff is totally barred from any recovery at all if they contributed at all to the accident. This is a very strict standard.
As far as "no fault", sometimes the adjuster will use the words "no fault" when they are referring to "personal injury protection" (PIP). Virtually every Maryland car insurance policy includes PIP coverage; although it is an optional coverage which requires an affirmative waiver from the named insured. PIP benefits should be paid no matter who was at fault in causing the accident, although it is typically a very low amount (it covers lost wages, medical expenses, funeral costs).
If the medical expenses exceed a predetermined amount or if the accident is deemed too severe, the at-fault party can be held responsible for the other driver's damages. Therefore, Maryland motorists are also required to carry a minimum bodily injury liability policy in the amounts of $20,000 for injuries to an individual and $40,000 for injuries to multiple people as well as property damage liability in the amount of $10,000 for repairs to property and the other person's vehicle.
You can contact an attorney in your area for further information.
Maryland is a contributory negligence state, which is much, much different than no-fault. Most states have something called comparative negligence, which means you compare who is at fault, and apportion responsibility. With contributory negligence, if the plaintiff contributes to the accident, they are totally barred from any recovery at all. This is a very harsh doctrine, and there have been attempts to switch to the rule applied in other states.
PIP protection is an entirely different concept and is designed to award a very limited amount of money under your own policy to cover a small amount (no more than a few thousand, generally $2500) toward lost wages / medical expenses. PIP is not sufficient to cover anyone's expenses in a serious accident and is not mandatory.
Minimal insurance is mandatory for all Maryland drivers.
You are strongly encouraged to consult a licensed MD attorney.

The 2004 Fleur Cowles Flair Symposium
This February 19 -- 21, 2004, the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center will host its biennial Fleur Cowles Flair Symposium, named in honor of her exuberant, famously innovative magazine. Coming at the culmination of our six-month long exhibition, Make it New: The Rise of Modernism, this year's symposium is entitled THE STATE AND FATE OF MODERNISM. Panels will address issues such as the "Institutions and Political Contexts of Modernism," as well as "Collecting, Marketing and Publishing Modernism." Featured speakers come from a range of different fields -- scholars, professional librarians and archivists, publishers, collectors and booksellers. The list of participants includes George Bornstein (Michigan), Morris Dickstein (CUNY Graduate Center), Stephen Enniss (Emory University Library), Glenn Horowitz (Bookseller), Breon Mitchell (Lilly Library), Michael North (UCLA), Joseph Parisi (Poetry Magazine), Marjorie Perloff (Stanford), Richard Poirier (Rutgers) and Max Rudin (Library of America).

Registration is limited to 130 people, with a fee of $75 for early registration or $100 at the door. This Symposium offers a unique opportunity to hear and join in discussion with some of the leading figures in contemporary debates about modernism in an intimate and convivial setting.

The United States of America is currently at a stage of confusion regarding the right of gay people. Several states allow gay couples to marry, the armed forces are protecting the rights of gay couples to benefits, but in many states there is no such thing as gay rights. A same-sx couple in Kentucky is asking a judge to grant them the same rights as provided a married couple regarding issues of testifying against a spouse. Bobbie Jo Clary is accused to murdering a man in Louisville in October, 2011. The prosecution is demanding that her same sex partner, Geneva Case testify in the trial against Clary. The defense filed a motion to block teh subpoena on grounds is violates spousal privilege against testying when the issue pertains to a spouse.
Kentucky law exempts spouses from testifying when their spouse is the subject of a crime. So, what gives, do gay couples enjoy the right to be truly gay and protet a spouse? Ah, the never ending issues raised by failure to have national legislation dealing with same-sex relations.

Make mine Baer
Definately a Wilson or Nighthawk in a officer sized frame for carry. Nice tight fitting slide there eh Dredd.
I also,Les baer SRP.
How ironic that military special forces, swat teams and other specialists of the culture, seek and demand 1911 pistols in 45 ACP; while amateur, wanna-be gunfighters denegrate a fairly asked question with off-topic banter.
I view a semi-automatic handgun as a close-range, defensive weapon. To that end my favorite 1911 is one that is loose and reliable, such as my Springfield Mil-spec, or a GI version from Springfield, Colt or other reputable companies. I see no real life context for a 1911 that is so tightly constructed that it may jam under fire. Loose and functional are the words. At close range the accuracy of the GI models, or Mil-specs is more than adequate.
Changed my mind. I want a Wilson Combat Master Grade 30th anniversery.
Brisk 21, have you ever used a 1911 in combat, where it was dirty, soaked with water and mud? The loose, mil-spec ones will fire under those conditions. That's what they were made to do. The tigter, custom 1911s, and I have one, often will not. Perhaps that is why Mike naively considers them "range toys".
I purchased a Smith a couple of months ago. My first 1911. I've run about 500 rounds of white box Winchester thru it so far without a hitch. I wouldn't know the difference between an ED Brown or a Wilson or any others cause I haven't had the opportunity to shoot one. Hope to some day. I like the gun. I've had to concentrate on my trigger squeeze a little more than my 229 or 686, but now I seem to be on at 15 yards, which I usually shoot at. I've been told the trigger is crisp and the safety seems to click well according to my friend who is the range master at our range. Any other comments on this gun. I might be in the market for another 1911 if I can find a deal on one. Maybe a Wilson or a Les Bear if there is that much of a difference against my Smith.
Les Baer Commanche, heavy barrel, then my mission in life would be complete.
IF I could have any 45 and $$$ were no object, it would be a "Jan Libourel Special". It's a super contoured 45 that shoots like a dream. Take off the target sights and instal trijicon night sights. Check it out:
In the right hands it can shoot a 1" group @ 25 yards. It doesn't get much better than that.
For a do all piece I would be happy with the Wilson KZ series full or compact size. 1 each KZ Full size and compact in 45 and 1 KZ in 9mm and I'd probably be done aquiring pistols and looking towards long guns. But 4 grand in one slug I'd also be divorced so it's not likely to happen. Guy can dream though.
Right now I am waiting on my Kimber Custom Crimson Carry II. Or I should say its waiting on me. I will pick it up when I go on my Mid-tour leave from Iraq.
I'm waiting on my dream 1911 right now - Springfield Custom Shop is making it - a Springfield Custom Shop FULL rail operator. It will be like a Pro, except with the full rail. Also, it will be completely matte hard chromed, and in 9mm. Also, getting white ringed Novaks (instead of the night sights Springfield usually uses) and the rear of the slide will be serrated. also, it will have a bull barrel.
If cost was no object, I'd like a Ed Brown Kobra Carry full size. A friend has one and I shoot that gun so well, its not even fair. For a "budget gun" I really like the Kimber Gold Combat model.
But back to reality. All of these comments about how the 1911 is not reliable or needs a bunch of special attention is not true. My most recent 1911 is the SA GI champ and it is totally reliable out of the box. I didn't clean it, oil it or anything special. I took the mag that it came with and put the gun to works, no problems. My main 1911 is a SA Black Stainless Target, I've shot 1000's through that gun with no malfunctions. I bought it used, had a trigger job done by preference, not necesssity. I shoot the crap out of that gun. Before that was a Kimber Tactical Custom. I put a couple thousand through that gun before I sold it to fund a AR purchase, No trouble. Before that I had a SA Officers model that wouldn't run too good, sent it back to SA, they fixed it up, it worked when it came back but I sold it. That was a long time and many guns ago, I wish I had that one back now. My next purchase will probably be a Kimber TLE or a Dan Wesson Bobtail. I would expect good service from either one of them.
I don't generally clean my guns too often because I shoot them every week. A dirty 1911 has never malfunctioned for me but a dirty Glock gives me trouble.
I've seen many 1911's jam over the years but there is usually a good reason. And I've seen many other brands have trouble as well, and they usually require a trip back to the factory.

Automation will make a significant impact on your business, so be sure you pick the right partner for your automation needs.
To be successful, pharmacists need fully integrated prescription-filling systems that provide the technology for higher levels of patient care and also help control costs.
At ScriptPro, we have more to offer than automation and technology solutions for your pharmacy. We back it all up with service and support to ensure that you get the most out of your investment.
ScriptPro provides innovative, seamlessly integrated, robotics-enabled systems to optimize retail and ambulatory pharmacy services.
Read the latest about ScriptPro and Pharmacy Industry News.
ScriptPro has developed a system for use in sterile rooms to more safely and accurately prepare chemotherapy intravenous compounds. Our system, referred to as SRMP, allows the clinical pharmacist to remain outside of the clean room while inspecting the preparation of a chemotherapy drug via images taken of the medication, physician's orders, vials, and pullback syringe. Electronic images are stored for future reference.
This system eliminates the costly and time-consuming process of scrubbing and gowning to enter the clean room for verification. The process is safer for the pharmacy staff and the patient, as there are many barcode steps and checkpoints to ensure drug accuracy.
Importance of "real-time" Verification
Real-time verification with audio and video provides the most stringent method of verification and reduces medication waste. Errors are caught before the medication is injected into the bag, thus reducing errors and waste. The workflow can proceed smoothly, without waiting for the pharmacist to enter the clean room, or for the technician to step out of it.
Standalone vs. Complete Hardware/Software System
As a customer, if you buy the standalone software, it is your responsibility to buy the hardware and configure it yourself. Those components will not be supported by the software vendor.
ScriptPro handles all of the details of installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting the equipment and software. Our 24x7x365 customer service includes both telephone and remote dial-in support.
Customer service is all-inclusive, meaning fully supported and maintained software and hardware, including inspection camera, desktops, touchscreens, etc.
ScriptPro incorporates robotics, workflow, and pharmacy management software within a unified architecture. We call this Perfect Integration-the complete solution for your pharmacy, engineered and supported by ScriptPro.

Telepharmacy System in a Pharmacy Layout
Sterile Room Medication Preparation System in a Pharmacy Layout
"ScriptPro's SP Central Telepharmacy System for Sterile Room Medication Preparation (SRMP) is comprehensive, but also userfriendly and visually appealing, with easy to read screenshots. We can make modifications ourselves, such as adding comments on the label. We feel we have control over the system, but also have access to the phenomenal ScriptPro customer support if we need it.
"In our hazardous drug preparation room we put three Telepharmacy stations next to sterile hoods, one station in the non-hazardous compounding room, and two verification stations in the main pharmacy. The technicians work inside the sterile rooms and the pharmacists are in the pharmacy."
She finally found the solution while at the ASHP Conference - ScriptPro's Telepharmacy. Using telepharmacy would allow North Country to provide onsite pharmacy services at the health centers in the Grand Canyon and Kingman, AZ.
However, Arizona currently does not have rules and regulations for telepharmacy. Mary Lou explained, "We had to present to the State Board of Pharmacy to request a waiver to operate telepharmacy. ScriptPro helped guide us through the process and came with us for the presentation to the Board. We were granted the waiver for the Grand Canyon and Kingman locations."
A pharmacist in the North Country HealthCare pharmacy in Flagstaff uses telepharmacy to verify prescriptions and counsel patients while certified pharmacy technicians working at the Grand Canyon and Kingman medical centers dispense the prescriptions.
"We went with ScriptPro because it has many safety checks that other systems don't have. As a pharmacist, I needed to be comfortable with the security level at the remote location. With another system we considered, the stock bottle isn't scanned during the dispensing process. If the technician chooses a stock bottle of the wrong strength, there wouldn't be a process to catch it.
"With ScriptPro's Telepharmacy the prescription is scanned by the technician and entered into the system. If the technician presents the incorrect bottle of medication or the wrong strength, the prescription won't be processed. The technician takes a picture of the medication and I see it with the original prescription. Then I counsel the patient via a video and audio connection."

About the WHP "rating"
About the "WHP" rating
Often when one reads an internet discussion forums cars have a tendency to be rated by wheel power, or more like the peak wheel power figure which is then used to benchmark drivability. Also person who have limited experience of powerful FWD cars often shout out that a FWD with more than 200whp does nothing else than spins wheel etc.
To rate cars by their peak "whp" would of course not be a problem, if the power band for a motor would be "fixed" to a certain shape. Then the peak WHP value would just scale the curve up or down, but as we know in real this is not the case and the following tries to explains in more detail why and also how the whp, tq, gearing etc. link together.
Lets us first look at a bone stock Viggen which will roughly produce the following figures when put into a dyno (blue curves)
and with stage III kit the power output is normally percentually lifted through out the rpm registry and resembles the red curves in the same picture.
The plain curves themselves may not open up to all, how the link to performance and traction and a good known approach is look into the calculated acceleration curves in various gears, since the limit of traction can be expressed as a function of acceleration [G's], normally around 0.5G for FWD cars.
For the bone stock Viggen the calculated acceleration curves are shown in the picture below as a function of speed [km/h]. The "height" difference in curves for different gears are due to gearbox, which multiplies the crank shaft Tq with the total gear ration (drive shaft Tq curves www.stcf.net/slip/slip1.gif).
From the chart we can note the following.
1) acceleration in any given gear is the highest at peak tq rpm/speed, not at peak hp
2) tq from the bone stock motor is enough to spin wheels in 1st but in 2nd requires one to pop the clutch, a bump in the road etc. to get the wheel spinning, since steady state acceleration falls shy from the traction limit.
Lets us now add the stage III acceleration curves to the same plot and we get
And we can note that 2nd gear acceleration also exceed the traction limit and driving WOT in this gear will result to wheel spin on steady state. From the curves we can also see that for instance in 3rd gear the acceleration begins to fall quit heavily after 110km/h mainly due to std turbo which is beginning to run out of breath and by rev limit the reduction in acceleration is around 50%. It should be remembered that in modern turbo cars the turbo is mainly used to up the low/mid rpm torque and not the peak whp. This is easy to understand when its known that an N/A engine can produce up to 100Nm/liter, 100bhp a liter, meaning that if the Viggen would be without tbo figures would read 230Nm/230hp at the best. Also turbos have quit a narrow operation range, and if the unit has been chosen to kick in around 2000rpm it will not carry effectively past 5k rpm. Anyhow there isn't much that can be done to raise the Tq curve and higher rpm's without modifying the Hw, but if wanted more "grunt" can be taken into use in the are where the stage III tq curve is "flat". Personally drove around in the early days with a "balls-out" stage IIIx and its curves print out in the same plot as follow
from the curves we can note that the lower rpm grunt was increased over a "normal" stage III and 3rd gear pushed closer to the traction limit. This type of tune creates the feeling that the car has lots of power, but when run up the gears one does not use the rpms where the extra Tq was obtained, so no improvement in that type of go.
At this point based on the curves we do see that 2nd gear traction has already been lost with the raised tq but 3rd gear there is plenty of marginal to work with until you begin to spin the wheels on steady state acceleration. So lets swap some HW and move on
to a 350+whp set-up (my ex. 3071 with std cams etc, dynoed to 412hp/527Nm)
Thus the whp increased by 100whp or so it did change much in terms of traction since the Tq did not exceed the tq max. obtained with the stage IIIx set-up. From the graph we can however note that acceleration when running up the gears was greatly improved by moving the rpm registry upwards, but since tuning is a newer ending process the request was for more.
Often when you move forward from this type of bhp level the restriction in the engine HW will begin to pop up (cams, tbo etc) and if not taken care of the breathing at higher rpms will be limited and will set the roof how high the whp can raise. Of course if the tbo is of good side and you just keep upping the boost you can get the "big" peak numbers like in this manner
but drivability due to high tq will not be the greatest not the running up the gear performance since the higher rpm grunt is missing.
Next up are the curves in the same plot form my 500bhp set-up and they print out as follow against the 412hp curves. Tq in this set-up was mapped against traction limit in 3rd gear
So with bhp once more lifted by nearly 100whp the 3rd acceleration curves remain beneath the traction limit, but instead of just "touching" the limit at 100km/h the remain close to it for a much broader rpm/speed range, but as we can note there still is margin to go at higher rpm's where the GT3071 was inadequate to pump enough air anymore. So Hw swap once more to current Holset Hx40 set-up and those curves plotted in same graph.
And with this set-up so far the tq in the mid range has been limited to same figures as before, but up at higher rpms raised and from the curves we can see that the acceleration lies at traction limit from 100km/h to 150km/h J and the aim is to have it carry on all the way to 170km/h (7k rpm).
Comparison of the current to std Viggen
and we do note that the all day drivability on WOT has not suffered that much, thus more than double whp. In first the Holset set-up provides more tq to drive shaft from 30km/h, and in second 55km/h, in 3rd 85km/h and in 4th 110km/h .
All torque curves and rpm vs. speed for all of the set-ups
and yes "theory" works with practice as well, here is a in-car film form this summer
where no wheel spin is seen on after 2nd gear. Rougly 460whp was in use and the curve did look like this.
and as for the a conclusion to rate a cars drivability based on a whp figure will not work alone, nor will a a fb-ft limit work either since saabs do come with diffent gearboxes with different gear rations etc. Hopefully this post shined some light that it is possible to have tons of whp, thus no more show with spinning wheels than what is the case with a stage III set-up.

excellent and thorough write up vigge. i love how you always back up what you say with hard data...and not just conjecture or hypothesis. thanks for this.
Great writeup and interesting insights you revealed there! Can I borrow some of your hardware that you're not using?
EDIT: Also, I just looked up your Hx40 turbo. According to Cummins, that model is intended to be used on 7-10 liter bus engines!??!?!! Where do you keep that thing, in the trunk?

Some nice comparisons there, but as you have said, mapping can have a big influence on the how the car runs, some people like tons of torque and spinning the wheels.
It is possible to short shift a car with high torque and run faster than winding it out where a smaller turbo is not efficient, I proved that myself on the drag strip.
Finally, even a car with loads of torque past the traction limit can be driven by a good driver with some good right foot control to keep the car within traction limits and still go faster and with combined short shifting, make an aggressive high torque mapped car run fast.
You made many good points and the bottom line is many people want to know what the peak bhp is, not what the drivability is or where the peak bhp is made, just what that peak power is.
I think its very hard to get around that simple fact, people want to know numbers...
my 2 cents,
but the hard part without traction control is to control the slip to be small enough in order to not loose on traction compared to when there is noslip. Also to have the engine produce the max tq as rpm "rush" up rapidly when traction is first lost becomes an issue.
In my car I have played around with the slip issue a few times and have found that its not much slip the normal tires allow before the acceleration suffers.
Here are two runs, in the other slip 5% and it the other allowed to increase to 25% and as one can see the acc curve takes a nose dive pretty much directly as the slip begins to increase
How much that is due to traction and how much to boost which dips with rpm rush is hard to say, but here you can see the MAP, rpm etc curves for both of those runs.
Here though is a datlog from one fast saab running ~12s/210km/h (1ft roll) on street with big slics and has hard time to manage .5G on average in 3rd gear
On first and second gear the acceleration is very good (0-100km/h < 5s), but in those gears it easier to control since there the engine will always deliver "plenty" tq thus rpm hops and map sinks... Here are a few runs from mine
Sadly though far too few people have enough interest to look into these issues, so it not really possible to develop the discussion to deeper levels than feeling based.
So, what kind of fuel octane do you have in Finland? Do you have any idea what level of octane of the fuel they run in Sweden or wherever maptun is located? I swear their timing maps are as aggressive as my w/m injection map that I showed you, its nuts!
B205 can cope with far more timing due to its comp.ration 8.5 in case you a looking at a map meant for that engine.
I've got maptun about 100km's from here btw.
Well, that would explain a lot, which one do you think they tune with, the 98 or the 100+?
I wonder how they expect cars in the USA that can get from 89-93 octane to run on those maps? Plus, here in the mountains, we only get 91 octane and then its mixed in with 10% ethonal in the winter and it actually seems to make them run worse, some places have "pure" 91 fuel with no ehtonal and it definetely seems to run better.
This is what I thought and is probably the biggest reason I have had to address so many of those tunes from M. There is no way you can tune a car on 98 octane and then expect it to run fine on 91 pump at elevation where the hw, ic's and other compents run less efficiently.
RON 98 is 94 PON
RON 95 is 91 PON
Yea, that is about what we calculated, around 95pon, so we were pretty close in our estimates,
I don't have a conversion for you.
There are three octane related "ratings" for fuel. Research Octane, Motor Octane, Anti-Knock Index. RON, MON, AKI
The rating system in Europe is based on Research Octane Number (RON).
Here in the states we use the Anti-Knock Index (AKI) which is the RON and the MON (Motor Octane Number) averaged.
Most race gas focuses on the MON.
When I was tuning Jags, we used to figure 98 RON was nearly identical to 93 AKI. However, that was before there was any ethanol content in the AKI fuels so how that affects things I couldn't begin to say.
Great information, Vigge.
Just wondering, what's the modification you spoke of after your Super 40 went in, that was reflected in another graph you gave? I don't recall you changing something after the Super 40.

On Friday morning, the Commerce department reported that consumer spending fell slightly — by 0.1 percent — in April. This fits with a larger pattern that has been emerging throughout the first half of 2014, namely retail sales have been weak and retail companies have generally been underperforming with a couple of exceptions.
If you look at retailers broadly through the SPDR Retail ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT), you'll find that retail stocks have significantly underperformed the broader market. This fund is down over 5 percent year-to-date versus the S&P 500, which is up about 4 percent.
A look at some individual companies is even more telling. Many retailers are seeing profit declines even if their net sales figures are rising. Companies that fall into this category include:
- Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT)
- J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP)
- Panera (NASDAQ:PNRA)
Furthermore, there are several retailers that are growing their sales, but which are growing their profits at substantially lower rate. Costco (NASDAQ:COST) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) fall into this category.
This is due to margin contraction: input costs such as agricultural commodities and energy costs are rising, and retailers are put in a position in which they either have to raise prices or accept lower profits.
But not only are quality retailers (from an investment standpoint) such as Costco and Panera suffering, but there are many retailers with their own individual problems. For instance, we are all aware of the difficulties that Target (NYSE:TGT) has been having after the December data breach, and this company is going to suffer so long as consumers are concerned that their credit card information will be stolen if they buy something at a Target store. We also have specific sub-sectors of the retail industry that are suffering, such as the office supply sector and the sporting goods sector. Last week, Staples (NASDAQ:SPLS) and Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS) reported weak earnings, and while these situations have possibly created some intriguing contrarian speculation plays, I think they also serve to shed light on this troubled industry.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive our first child for 2 years now. I'm 21 and he is 22 years old. I have irregular, usually very short cycles. Just for reference, my last cycle was 21 days long, the cycle before that was 27 days long, and the cycle before that was 14 days long. I just started temping my basal body temp, so I'm not sure when I ovulate or if I ovulate at all. What could be wrong? What can a doctor do to help me? Will I ever be a mommy?

cursor where I want. And if I click a Input/Output sell to select, all
the Input/Output sells are seleceted.
Why does this happen? How can I turn it into normal shape?
One more question. In mathematica CD ROM, there are 2 kinds of linux
version. One is in /linux directory and the other one is in
/linux-aout. I am using Red Hat 5.1.
What is the differences btn these two linux versions? Which one is right
for me?
Thanks in advance.
