" Brand: Volcom / Type: Money Belt - Wallet / Gender: Female "
==Volcom Purse==
This Volcom purse of mine was sort of a Birthday present from my best friend. I say sort of because she had actually bought me a large brown purse made by Rusty but the popper fastener on this was terrible so it was lucky she had sealed up the receipt for me to take it back if need be. I knew it would have cost around £20 because this is the price we always spend on each other.
So I decided even though I didn't especially need a new purse, I would take it back and exchange it for another purse and this was how I have come to own this Volcom Purse.
I can't say that this bright pink colour is something I would usually go for but it was clear that my friend has picked the best looking purse with the brown Rusty one and it took me a good half an hour to decide on this one (and even then I was slightly dubious).
I had to pay an extra £4.99p as it was priced at £24.99p but this was in my local surf wear shop and prices here are usually a lot higher on line so I would suggest looking around on the internet for it and I suspect you could find it a fair bit cheaper.
The purse has really grown on me and the pink colour is something I really like now. At first I wasn't too sure but having had several comments from shop workers I feel proud to pull out my large pink purse! Not only does it look pretty good but because of the bright colour it is super easy to find when hunting for it in the depths of my "Mary Poppin's" Style bags!
The pink purse is made from a leather material and has slight wrinkles over it which makes it look slightly worn already. This is good for not being too upset when the purse does really being to show its age. The material inside the purse is cool too as it has a sort of black and white zebra print on a smooth satin material. Both the inside and outside are easy to wipe clean although mine is not especially dirty yet, having only had it the 5 months since March.
There are two main sections of the purse and these are the side which is sealed by a popper button and although on the outer section of the purse it appears to be sealed with two poppers at each end of the flap, this is just an illusion and under the flap sits one easy to open and close popper. The other section of the purse is opened via a pink zip. I have attached a key ring to this meaning that the zip is less fiddly as it is on the small side.
The side which is sealed with poppers, is where I store all my cards. I have tons of store cards and loyalty cards and this manages to hold more or less all of them. There is a section for six cards but these can be doubled up and there is one large slot at the back which I have tucked even more in and the wallet has expanded nicely to make room for them. There is also a section to put your driving licence so that the photo can be seen when ID is required to be shown, easily. Again behinds this section there is another large storage section which I have put a few little notes and old receipts.
The zip part of the purse is where I have all my real money. Not that I have a lot as I usually use my cash back credit card for all purchases. Inside the zip is another zip up section which holds all the coins nicely and because this smaller part is in the middle of the large zip section is has seemingly made two areas in which other items can be stored such as receipts, photos or the odd chaps telephone number!!!
The purse may be large in length but it is not especially bulky considering how much bits I have stored inside it. I have to say that it is a real statement purse and I have grown to love it! Especially when people have commented to me about it!
It's got to be a top mark for this Volcom purse. It has been made to a high quality, looks good, fits lots of bits in, feels good and looks the business! 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommended!
Many thanks for taking the time to read.
I do hope that this has been of some help/interest to you.

Healthy Westbrook finds new admirers
In order for Russell Westbrook to acknowledge he likes being appreciated by the basketball world that once simultaneously loved and loathed him, the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard would have to confess to caring about the endless criticism that used to come his way.
Of course, he knows that most people get it now. After a meniscus tear in April sidelined him, coinciding with the Thunder's second-round elimination from the playoffs, and his subsequent setback surgery in October brought another scare, his absence has made the hearts of even his most ardent critics grow fonder than ever. Scan the news media landscape that surrounds him, and you'll find enough love letters to stock at least a few Hallmark warehouses.
Post-injury, after the long-overdue realization that his strengths outweigh his weaknesses and with the Thunder (13-4 after Wednesday's 111-104 loss at the Portland Trail Blazers) looking like title contenders again, he was the guy who could wear a tutu on the court and still command respect. And in what has been the unofficial cherry on top of his image makeover, Westbrook is being paid handsomely for that funky fashion sense that somehow permeated the pop-culture realm.
Pre-injury, he was seen by some as the guy who shot too much and shared too little -- of both the ball and of himself. He didn't help his cause with the media, often clenching his teeth and oozing impatience during interviews and -- intentional or not -- feeding into his devil-may-care persona that came in such stark contrast to fellow Thunder star Kevin Durant. And in an unexpected side chapter, he became the guy who took on postgame media sessions with lens-less glasses and funny-looking shirts that became punch-line material.
From his days as a late bloomer at Leuzinger High School in Los Angeles County, Calif., to bona fide NBA star, Westbrook's days of dealing with doubters might finally be behind him. As for getting him to acknowledge that the change in tone warms his ice-cold veins? That's another story altogether.
"The outside voices and those people kind of look at (him) in a different way, in a different view, but it all depends on who's saying it, to tell you the truth," Westbrook told USA TODAY Sports. "If it's my teammates, and my teammates appreciate (his play), then I'm good. Everybody else? I don't really care about. It doesn't matter if they appreciate what I do or not. I'm not playing for them."
These are the riddles that define one of the NBA's most compelling characters, this enigma of a man who has returned with all the same fury and fervor as before on the floor but is more fascinating than ever off of it.
In some ways, Westbrook is baring more of himself these days -- not the least of which is his recently signed underwear deal that put him on the shelves of stores such as Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue.
His smile isn't as much of a stranger as it was before, even if it's clear that competitive fire burns so much hotter than most. Case in point came Tuesday night, when he was too filled with frustration to conduct interviews after the Thunder barely survived against the Sacramento Kings, but -- in a move that might not have happened in years past -- agreed to chat by phone a day later when those pistons that drive him had finally cooled. Little by little, it seems, he's letting the outside world in.
"It's just getting older, man, just getting older," Westbrook said of the maturation process. "That's just part of it. Getting older you learn more, you see more, you know who's who. You know who's what."
In other ways, the 25-year-old is the same as he ever was: steely, stubborn and too smart to let anyone take that infamous chip off his shoulder.
This is the quandary that so many elite athletes are eventually faced with, the reality that there's a downside to being fueled by doubt. Once it fades -- if it fades -- then how does one's edge remain?
Asked if he was finally letting his guard down after all these years, Westbrook chuckled and said, "Nah. My guard is just how I was brought up. That's the only way I know. That's what got me to this point, to where I am now. If that comes down, I'll be in trouble."
It goes beyond the Westbrook narrative, though.
Stars kept falling around him, point guard peers such as Rajon Rondo and Derrick Rose lost to injuries and others such as Deron Williams who simply aren't what they used to be. This golden age for the point guard position had been unfairly tainted, and Westbrook suddenly found himself as the most unexpected of saviors. This, whether he acknowledges it or not, is the silver lining of his story.
Westbrook had, in an odd way, spoiled the public with his presence since coming into widespread prominence in the basketball world. Before going down in Game 2 of the first round against the Houston Rockets, Westbrook had enjoyed an incredible run of health that spanned his high school days in Los Angeles County, his two seasons at UCLA and his first five seasons in the NBA. He played in 394 out of 394 possible regular-season NBA games and 45 out of a possible 45 playoff games.
When he was gone, the Thunder -- who were adjusting to life without James Harden after he was traded to the Rockets at the start of last season -- no longer looked like contenders.
The nitpicking will surely return at some point, but it's unlikely to ever be as bad as it once was.
Westbrook's field goal percentage since he returned in the third game of the season is significantly lower than it was last season (39.3% entering Wednesday, compared with 43.8%). His assists-per-game are down (5.6 from 7.4), along with his scoring (20.6 points a game from 23.2), and his turnovers are up (3.8 from 3.3). Despite all this, the talk surrounding the Thunder is that they've managed to look like themselves as a whole again. The end result, as it should be, will be all that matters.
"He came in just playing good basketball, All-Star level basketball, and he hasn't slowed down one bit," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He's just fearless. He has a mentality that you better be ready to play tonight, otherwise it's not going to look good for you, and he brings that to the game."
And so long as he's healthy enough to play, that's more than enough for the masses.
"(The criticism) was always something that I never really paid attention to personally, because those (people) weren't playing with me," Westbrook said. "My teammates weren't ever complaining about anything I was doing, so I never really worried about it. Obviously it looked different to different people. Everybody wants me to play a certain way and all that, and they think it'd be best if we play this way and we win.
"But it's more than just shots or how many shots I shot and if I shot more (than others). That ain't the whole game. There's a lot of other things that go on in the game that you help your team out with."

Elias Nazario
Hispanic male
Age at time: 26
Weapon: unarmed
Samer Hasan
White male
Age at time: 28
Weapon: gun
Case type:
Citizen enforcing the law
Defendant's Property
Case year:
Location details: Sam's Food Mart, owned by defendant in Fort Myers, Lee County, on July 15, 2005
What happened: After sending employees outside twice to tell a man to leave the parking lot of his grocery store, Samer Hasan grabbed a handgun and went outside himself. He told the man he believed was trying to buy drugs to leave or he would call police. Hasan told investigators that's when Elias Nazario hit or slapped his face and backed him against the side of his store. Hasan responded by fatally shooting Nazario in the chest with the Glock. Hasan previously had been threatened by local government officials with the closure of his store if he did not take steps to reduce drug activity near his address. Hasan was charged with manslaughter after an investigation.
The outcome: Hasan's attorney said he argued his client was "standing his ground." The judge at the bench trial agreed and acquitted Hasan even though Florida's self-defense law had not yet changed.
Investigating agency: Fort Myers Police
Case decision made by: Judge
Trayvon Martin's death became controversial because circumstances leading up to the shooting cast doubt on who was to blame. The Tampa Bay Times reviewed other "stand your ground" cases for similar circumstances. The Times relied on available information, some of which may not tell the whole story. When the situation was unclear, that was noted.
Did the victim initiate the confrontation?
Was the victim armed?
Was the victim committing a crime that led to the confrontation?
Did the defendant pursue the victim?
Could the defendant have retreated to avoid the conflict?
Was the defendant on his or her property?
Did someone witness the attack?
Was there physical evidence?

This is the hard part. I have been working on this my entire life. I will get back to it later.
Despite a few decades of military service I am exceedingly liberal. Damn near neo-Marxist. I never truly fit in the military culture.
Military service has been the closest approximation I have ever had to a career, but the military and I see things very differently. As I have increased in rank and responsibility these differences have become more difficult to bridge.
It is long since time I moved to a different career field. I have been working toward that goal between deployments.
Acquiring and learning new information.
Conveying information and ideas.
Calculated risk taking.
Effecting change where needed. Or at least fighting for it.
Making a cat pur.
Navigating in the wilderness with a map and a compass.
Really bad at parallel parking.
Sometimes my eyes.
Books: Philosopher's Toolkit, Chances Are: Adventures in Probability, Good Omens (Neil Gaiman in general), Game of Thrones series. I work in international affairs so I read a great deal of non fiction and scholarly articles.
TV Shows: Deadwood, Game of Thrones, Firefly, Madmen, Walking Dead, The Big Bang Theory, Breaking Bad, Daily Show, Colbert Report.
Music: Radio: NPR. Music: Lyrics seem to matter most to me. If the song has something to say that is passionate or interesting there is a good chance I will appreciate the song. Some bands that stand out; *Post Modern Jukebox*, Lindsey Stirling, Cake, Living End, Good Riddance, Of Monsters and Men, Social Distortion, Imagine Dragons, Lana Del Ray, Gotye, Birdy. I frequently listen to iTunes University and Audible Lecture courses.
Food: Thai, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Sushi, Avocados, strawberries, iced coffees, cakes. I will try almost anything and have a fondness for different dishes from all over the world.
I am interested in learning about and collecting art. I like interior design. Love steampunk, art deco, and mid century modern styles. Fantasy and science fiction conventions and festivals.
The ability to communicate.
Creatures in the world. Especially the fuzzy ones.
I would hate to be in a world where you no longer saw kindness in peoples' eyes or a genuine smile on their lips.
Danger/risk - freedom without the risk of consequences is boring and irresponsible.
I know this is a dating site and I left out anything romantic. I just feel love is not one of those things that you can say you can or cannot live without. It is too transitive. If you try too hard to hold onto it and make it part of your life you wound it. I have been in love for years at a time. Though you never stop having love for someone that you once shared your life with, when they are gone, life remains. It may feel like you did not survive the loss, like it changed you into a different person, but you did survive. You just grew a little and gained more wisdom and insight about yourself and those you shared your life with.
Political economics, particularly with respect to social justice and the effect of economic interests and policies on human rights.
Probability and the law of large numbers. I am particularly fascinated with the aggregate effects of decisions or events on long term results and how it applies to free will and determinism.
Why a zombie apocalypse seems like a much easier and more enjoyable problem to deal with than the problems we have already created for ourselves.
I am into pretty much anything dorky from tech to sci-fi/fantasy to conventions.
I was arrested by the Army for sedition when I was a young sergeant. The charges were dropped.
Years ago, I used fake documents to get into Turkey so I could catch a plane to Crete to see a girl I loved.
The time investment is minimal considering the potential payoff. Think of the mounting opportunity cost as you wait to message me.
Seriously, don't be too hasty in dismissing any interest in me. The military recognizes me as a natural leader, however, people follow me more out of curiosity than confidence in any of my plans.
Knowing me is unlikely to be boring.

Edited press release
A total of 22 nominees have been put forward by the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame's Thoroughbred and Standardbred Nominating Committees. The nominees consist of six Thoroughbred horses, four Standardbreds and 12 people.
Smart Strike, who set a single-season world record for earnings by his progeny in 2007, heads a list of three Thoroughbred males nominated for induction into Canada's Horse Racing Hall of Fame in August. Owned by Sam-Son Farms of Milton, Ont., the son of Mr. Prospector dominated the sire list in North America as his offspring earned more than $14 million. A grade I stakes winner and a half-brother to champion Dance Smartly, Smart Strike is now 16 years old and stands at Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Ky. Also nominated in the male category were two Canadian Triple Crown winners and Horses of the Year -- Peteski and Wando. Peteski was owned by Earle I. Mack of New York. Wando, the 2003 Horse of the Year, is owned and bred by Gustav Schickedanz of Schonberg Farm near Nobleton, Ontario. Wando earned more than $2.5 million from 23 starts and also stands at stud at William Farish's farm at Lane's End along with his sire, Langfuhr .
Nominated in the female category were Alywow, the 1994 Horse of the Year, owned and bred by Kinghaven Farms; Rainbow Connection, Canada's champion filly in 1980 and 1981 and champion broodmare of 1994.

In the people category, three-time Sovereign Award winning trainer Robert Tiller, who headed into the 2008 season with 1,458 victories, heads a list of three trainers. The other two are veteran Western Canadians -- David Forster, who had considerable success in British Columbia, Alberta and Washington State, and R.A.

Pacing sensation Real Desire, Canada's Horse of the Year and North America's Pacing Horse of the Year in 2002 with over $3.2 million in purse earnings and the sire of Tell All, Canada's co-Horse of the Year in 2007 was nominated in the male horse category.

Clark has driven horses to in excess of $26 million and trained winners of $18 million while Wall has driven horses to earnings in excess of $56 million. Pinkney has driven winners of over $2 million lifetime and has campaigned numerous stakes and invitational winners in the Atlantic Provinces throughout the years.
Nominated in the veterans / builders category were owner-breeder Robert Burgess from Campbellville, ON, who has also been actively involved in several industry associations over the years, Quebec based breeder Pierre Levesque, founder, owner and operator of Angus Farm and the late Cliff Chapman Jr., former owner and publisher of The Canadian Sportsman as well as race secretary, bid spotter, legal bookmaker and trainer.

This quarter's altar is really a three-in-one. I'm limited for altar space around here. While this doesn't look cluttered, there's a lot going on. From left to right:First, there's my Israeli stoneware cup, or chalice, which I find I don't really use very much. The blue votive holder is back. It's really my Holy Mother candle votive. It was made by a friend as a going away present when we moved from the Bay Area. Flanking it are two peacock feathers (hard to see against the black heater … [Read more...]

New quarter, new altar
Navratri, as seen through Feri eyes
Navratri is a major Hindu celebration of the Shakti, or feminine, aspect of the Divine, celebrated over nine nights. I don't understand Hindu astrology or calendar systems, but I'm sure it is no coincidence that it occurs close to the autumnal equinox and starts at the dark of the moon. Navratri celebrates Durga, who I see as the Dark Mother. The first three nights celebrate her fierce qualities, and focus on purification. The second three nights focus on her aspect as Lakshmi, goddess of … [Read more...]
A note on re/sources
This weekend I spent my time recovering from jet lag and getting things sorted for the next quarter: changing out the altar, getting my daily practice sorted, etc. It would have been nice to seamlessly transition from tradition to tradition, but international travel and children will complicate things. And that's ok! I'm realizing that there is no rush. Even though I'm devoting a mere three months to each tradition, I can always come back later. There is no perfection.With that last thought … [Read more...]
The Left Hand Path
Today is all about change. This evening I leave the US to fly back to my current home in the UK. I said goodbye to Hinduism last night (bittersweet) and this morning I woke up enthusiastically embracing the Feri tradition.* A discussion of the 'left hand paths' is an appropriate segue between these two traditions. They might appear radically different, but you might be surprised. I was!Like all dualities, the split between left and right hand paths is a bit of a false dichotomy. Each side … [Read more...]
The end is nigh
My blessed time with Hinduism is coming to a close. On Wednesday I begin with a new tradition, as well as fly back to the United Kingdom after a frustrated month on a vacation that wasn't much of one. This month isn't how I wanted to close out my time with Hinduism. Hinduism is beautiful, rich, lovely, and challenging in ways I never expected. There were several things I wanted to do and experience that just didn't happen: draw yantra, visit a temple, attend yoga classes, settle into meditation, … [Read more...]
More of the same
My vacation stopped feeling like a vacation and has felt more like a holding pattern for at least the last week. My spiritual practice has suffered tremendously. As it goes, so do I. While I recognize in myself the fruits of my previous efforts -I am slower to anger, more compassionate, and more patient with the unexpected and the waiting - I am far more in thrall to my whims and moods. Oh what an inconsistent creature I am! I rise and fall according to the chemical dance of my blood sugar, I … [Read more...]
Letting go
My time with Hinduism is winding down. I feel a variety of emotions as I think of the quarters to come. Sad: Hinduism is so beautiful, so rich, and so surprisingly fulfilling that I am loath to move on. Grateful: I've learned so much. I feel joyfully changed from my experience so far. I feel like I am a better person, a more complete me. Excited: Feri is next and I look forward to getting back to that. Plus, there are many similarities between tantra and Feri. I had no idea. It's an exciting … [Read more...]

Damien Hardwick has long had a reputation as a straight shooter, and he didn't miss when he turned the torch on his players after Richmond was beaten in its round one clash against Gold Coast.
Asked about the performances of his leaders Trent Cotchin and Brett Deledio, who were both outstanding, Hardwick quietly but firmly put the acid on their teammates to lift, and he wasn't afraid to name names.
"The disappointing thing for us second-tier mids didn't stand up," he said. "I thought we'd get more out of Reece Conca and Brandon Ellis today, but unfortunately they just didn't lift their game to the standard that was required. Whereas for [the Suns] guys such as Prestia had a good game, Rischitelli as well."
The forwards weren't spared, either. "I thought Jack [Riewoldt] was well below his best. As was Ty Vickery.
"We just didn't make the most of our opportunities inside 50. I think the count in the last quarter was 21 inside-50s to nine, and we were probably attacking pretty hard. But, as tends to happen, the reality is if you don't make the most of your opportunities they [go] the other way.
"We were probably a six out of 10 tonight. Take nothing away from Gold Coast – their pressure was terrific, they're a much improved side; we've just got to play a hell of a lot better than what we've dished up tonight."
Guy McKenna didn't miss either, but that was in praising his players after his team dug in after losing its best up-and-comer, Jack Martin, as well as Charlie Dixon in the first half, putting it down to the developing physical and emotional maturity of his side.
The Suns were already missing some very good players last night – their best defender Rory Thompson, best ruckman Zac Smith and silky midfielder Harley Bennell among them – but it didn't matter. Steven May and excellent debutant Clay Cameron held down the Suns' suspect defence, and forwards Tom Lynch and Sam Day stood tall in attack.
"We're trying to get Dixon, Lynch and Day forward, and I think we saw a glimpse of that in the first quarter and a half, the result we can get out of that with our midfield on top and quick ball movement forward," McKenna said.
"Sam Day on Chaplin was crucial early for us, and then we had to swing him into the ruck to help out Tommy Nicholls, and rucking/centre half forward, and Tommy had to go back with two blokes down, and their bodies aren't conditioned for that … For them to get through the game I thought was pretty special."
"The efforts of Danny Stanley – I think they were 0-8 inside 50s early in that last quarter so we were under siege – and the young backline, with Clay [Cameron] and Sean Lemmons were holding up as well as they could.
"We sent David Swallow down there and I thought he almost turned the game for us – a couple of his dashes off half-back, through the wing, when everyone was looking around for an inspiration … We'd normally turn to the fellow who wears number 9, but Junior's ability to stand up was pivotal, I thought, late in that second half."
Martin dislocated his left shoulder, an injury McKenna said the hyped West Australian had had before, and would receive scans during the week.

Target (TGT) finds itself in a lawsuit after a training document used at one of its warehouse's offended employees.
The lawsuit was filed by three former warehouse workers, who claim that a document used to train managers on how to deal with Hispanic workers is racist.
The document, titled "Organization Effectiveness, Employee and Labor Relations Multi-Cultural Tips," stated the following, reports The Huffington Post.
- a. Food: not everyone eats tacos and burritos;
- b. Music: not everyone dances to salsa;
- c. Dress: not everyone wears a sombrero;
- d. Mexicans (lower education level, some may be undocumented);
- e. Cubans (Political refugees, legal status, higher education level); and
- f. They may say 'OK, OK' and pretend to understand, when they do not, just to save face.
"It is never Target's intent to offend our team members or guests and we apologize," Molly Snyder, a spokeswoman for Target, told The Huffington Post.
The plaintiffs Robert Gonzalez, Bulmaro Fabian and Pedro Garcia-Ayala, also claim that managers frequently used racial slurs when addressing Hispanic employees, such as "Only a 'wetback' can work this hard," and "You got to be Mexican to work like this,", reports Courthouse News Service.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hi, I have a 2007 Kia sportage. The ac runs cold then hot like a post from 5/21/2010. you said it was probably the thermistor that was going bad, but if not that a connection in the under hood fusebox. My mechanic said he tested the thermistor with scan tool and then found a loose connection inside the actual fuse box but it could not be tightened the little metal piece was broken, so I bought a new one fuse box and fuses relays were in it. He installed and ac still is blowing cold for a minute and then hot (outside air) could he have missed the scan somehow? He is not a kia mechanic. Do you know how much thermistor fix may cost. what else could it be? Thank you!
Hi Beth,
My name is XXXXX XXXXX I am a professional here at Just Answer. I noticed that your question was not getting a response and thought I would ask to see if you still need help with this.The first thing that should be done is to check and make sure the vehicle isn't low on freon,if low on freon this indicates the ac system has a leak and is allowing freon to escape.This can cause the ac temperature to go from cold like it should be to warm or hot and back like described here.This would need to be checked with an ac machine to see if it is low,if it is then the leak needs located and corrected and the freon filled to the proper level for the vehicle.If the ac is over charged it can also cause this as well.It may also be a fault with the evaporator temp sensor as this sensor will detect when the evaporator is starting to freeze and cause the ac to shut down like this and the cold to warm air issue.If the sensor thinks the evaporator is freezing up off and on then most likely it is at fault needing replaced.I would start with getting the freon checked to see if it is low or even over charged.If these are o.k. let me know so we can continue.I hope this has helped in some way here.If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask thats what I am here for.If you are not satisfied with my help here let me know before rating my help.Thanks Pete
Hi, Thank you so much for answering. My mechanic checked the Freon and its good. So I think it muse be the sensor. I am taking it back tomorrow and will see what he can do. Thanks again!

|Re: Maintain last indexed information in a file or DB

Not sure if it's a fit here, but the 2.9 (not yet released) release of Lucene allows you to specify metadata when you call commit, ie commit(String userData). This way each commit point can record "something" application specific to describe it. Mike Ganesh wrote: > My application is similar to google or msn desktop but the data > would be voluminous.

Macfarlanes and Wall Street firm Cravath Swaine & Moore have secured key roles on a £4.3bn counter-bid for Corus in an intensifying battle for the Anglo-Dutch steelmaker.
Brazilian group Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) made a last-minute offer to trump that of Indian giant Tata in October. CSN and Corus held failed talks in 2002.
CSN instructed Macfarlanes as its European counsel, with corporate partner Charles Martin and head of debt finance Tim Lewis acting. Cravath M&A partners David Mercado and Peter Wilson are advising CSN on US aspects of the deal.
Slaughter and May won the high-profile Corus instruction, with partners Anthony Newhouse and Andrew Balfour on the finance side. De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek is advising Corus on Dutch law aspects and Shearman & Sterling is lead counsel on US law and competition issues.
Meanwhile, Tata Steel UK instructed Herbert Smith for its offer, led by corporate partners David Paterson and Malcolm Lombers, with assistance from senior corporate consultant Nimi Patel, who has been instrumental in building the firm's relationship with the Indian company.
Tata made a 455p-a-share cash tender for Corus, while CSN is looking at a possible 475p-a-share cash offer. Tata's offer will be put to Corus shareholders for consideration next month.
It is understood that the Brazilians will look to sweeten the deal by arguing that CSN has unlimited access to iron ore, the prime component of steel, while Tata will not be allowed to import iron ore to Europe because of strict Indian regulations.

One of the best things about creating a natural garden is that wildlife will visit and maybe even live there. But even the most diehard wildlife lovers don't want squirrels in the attic, raccoons in the trash, or bears in the bird feeders. Fortunately, you can have a thriving habitat garden and also prevent conflicts with wildlife.
Block entry points to your home. Animals need shelter, and your home can be a good place to find it. Before you plant a wildlife-friendly garden, it pays to critter-proof your home. The old saying about an ounce of prevention applies here. Don't wait until animals have moved in to worry about critter-proofing. Dealing with shredded insulation, smelly droppings, nocturnal antics in the attic, or chewed electrical lines will cost you far more than being proactive.
Animals often gain entry through the roofline or the basement. Inspect these areas to make sure there are no potential points of entry. Trim branches away from the roof. Even a space less than 1 inch is big enough for mice or bats to squeeze into, so be thorough. Use all-weather caulking and metal mesh to cover any entry points. (Make sure you don't have any critters already inside before you do this.) Call a professional if necessary.
Keep food locked away. Wild animals are drawn to natural foods like the insects and plants in your garden, but many will also knock over your trashcans or tear into pet food or birdseed bags. Store your trash and other edible items indoors, and don't leave full trashcans outside overnight.
Never deliberately put out food scraps or pet food for wildlife. They'll attract mammals such as foxes, skunks, opossums, and raccoons, as well as stray cats. You might think you're doing a good thing, but such foods are often unhealthy for wildlife. Being fed in this way also causes animals to lose their natural fear of humans and associate us with easy meals. Wild animals that don't fear people can become dangerous, and as a result, don't survive long.
Be careful with bird feeders. Bird feeders are a great addition to the garden. Birds don't lose their fear of people and don't pose any biting threat. That said, feeders are not without their own problems. Squirrels, raccoons, and bears don't know or care that the feeder is supposed to feed only the birds, and they won't hesitate to take advantage of such an easy food source. The best approach, if this happens, is to take down your feeders and provide food for the birds through the berries, seeds, and nectar of your garden plants. Your plants will provide food and shelter for mammals, too, but won't draw them to your yard in unnatural numbers or cause them to lose their fear of people.
Trap and Release?
A seemingly humane solution to wildlife conflicts is to use a "live trap" to collect the offending critter, then release it in a wild area.
Unfortunately, this approach isn't as humane as it seems. Many wild animals have territories that they defend against others of their species. When you dump an animal in an unfamiliar park, forest, or meadow, that animal has no idea where to find food and shelter and is likely to be attacked, driven off, and possibly killed by the current residents. Newcomers typically don't survive.
The real solution is prevention. Help wildlife by restoring the natural plant community in your garden. Avoid attracting wildlife with unnatural food sources like trash and pet food, and make sure your home is critter-proofed. Then you'll be able to enjoy the critters and feel good about helping them.

text: Hi! Got a gold issue... We have a Cray XT5 system which is starting to run about 7000 jobs a day. I post process the Torque accounting log each night and create gcharge records for posting to gold. With 7,000 gcharge records and each taking approximately 5-8 seconds each it is taking 15 or more hours to process the accounting records. (bad!). The gold database and gold daemon are on an infrastructure server and the gcharge is done on the Cray directly. What can be done to the post processing process, gold daemon or the gold database to speed up the processing of these gcharge records? I wish these gcharge commands would take less than a second. Maybe they have always processed in more than 1 second, maybe even more but when we had 1000-2000 or less jobs is wasn't really noticed. These records in Gold are being used to copy information to another postgres database using gold commands to collect the info and then subsequently these records are posted to an off site database. With these three things going on (charge posting, processing charges into the other database, and sending the charges offsite) gold is doing quite a bit and seems to get bogged down with these requests. Also gold is getting queried at the job submission to make sure there is time available in the account. All this is putting pressure on gold and it seems to be slowing significantly (or noticeably I guess) under the pressure. Thanks for any help you can provide. -Victor Victor Hazlewood, CISSP Senior HPC Systems Analyst National Institute for Computational Science University of Tennessee http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/ <http://www.nics.utk.edu/> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Accepting the conception of a child out of love—and out of wedlock.
The results are shocking: 96 percent of babies born to African American high school dropouts are born out of wedlock.
This recognized family rights when paternity is established, whether a child was born in or out of wedlock.
Nearly half of all children born to Hispanic mothers are now born out of wedlock.
This is a country where nearly half of all children are born out of wedlock.
"You think it is an offer of wedlock from a churchyard knight," he said.
Beside this, it was a most perilous time for a priest to think of wedlock.
Suppose that you get him to break this wedlock, will you give him another woman to deceive?
This he consented to do, and we were accordingly united in the bonds of wedlock.
Love is sometimes said to be blind in the days of wooing, but wearing magnifying glasses after wedlock.
Old English wedlac "pledge-giving, marriage vow," from wed + -lac, noun suffix meaning "actions or proceedings, practice," attested in about a dozen Old English compounds (cf. feohtlac "warfare"), but this is the only surviving example. Suffix altered by folk etymology through association with lock (n.1). Meaning "condition of being married" is recorded from early 13c.

For the early Jewish sages, during the first 40 days of gestation, the fetus was nothing more than "mere fluid."
He specifically defends the use of "gestation crates"— tiny pens where pregnant pigs live before giving birth.
He suspects that Emanuel has been widely leaking news of the talks while they were still in a gestation stage.
How, then, can gestation happen if no one is carrying the fetus?
The term "gestation," for instance, is derived from the Latin verb gestāre, used to describe a mammal carrying a burden.
In the season of love, and during the period of gestation, they are met with only in pairs—a male and female.
The development of the ovule in the womb is known as gestation or pregnancy.
Of course commercial and political events often interrupt the gestation of the arts, or break our idols in pieces.
The period of gestation in both these apes is a matter that cannot be stated with certainty.
If this pregnancy terminated normally, a gestation of 20 days or less is indicated.
1530s, "riding on horseback, etc., as a form of exercise," from Latin gestationem (nominative gestatio) "a carrying," noun of action from gestare "bear, carry, gestate," frequentative of gerere (past participle gestus) "to bear, carry, bring forth" (see gest). Meaning "action or process of carrying young in the womb" is from 1610s.
gestation ges·ta·tion (jě-stā'shən)
The period of fetal development from conception until birth; pregnancy.

IT WAS the flaw that made Roald Amundsen's superhuman feat seem mortal after all.
A century after the methodical Norwegian achieved the impossible by being first to the South Pole, there is new light on a breakdown in his expedition.
A dispute over tactics led to Amundsen being called a coward in front of his own men by a key expeditioner, who was then sidelined.
Recently translated expedition diaries detail how, even as news spread of Amundsen's achievement, the troubled Frederik Hjalmar Johansen was separated from the victory.
Though Johansen's suicide less than a year later is blamed by some on this disgrace, Amundsen was not being vindictive, according to the Norwegian polar historian Olav Orheim.
It was just business, Dr Orheim said. The pragmatic Amundsen had to keep his exclusive newspaper and book deals intact.
The world first heard of Amundsen's win in the race for the pole by telegram from Hobart 100 years ago next Wednesday.
So focused was popular attention on conquering Antarctica that this was the early 20th century equivalent of winning a race to the moon, said Dr Orheim, a visitor at the University of Tasmania's Antarctic co-operative research centre.
It was the outcome of meticulous preparation. ''Without exception, Amundsen's great ability was to plan. It goes way beyond the others: Shackleton and Scott.''
As Amundsen sent the message from Hobart to Norway that, decoded, said: ''Reached the South Pole. All Well'', Britain's beaten Robert Scott and his companions were struggling to their deaths on the Ross Ice Shelf. Their fate would be unknown to the public for a further year.
But the best laid plans of Amundsen nearly came undone too, in September 1911, when he set out on the polar trek early in the season and extreme cold forced the party back to base.
In the dash for safety Amundsen struck out ahead, leaving Johansen, a former champion gymnast and seasoned adventurer, to rescue tail-end straggler Kristian Prestrud from freezing to death and bring him in.
Next day Johansen confronted Amundsen.
''Amundsen said he returned as quickly as possible to reduce the frostbite among the party,'' Dr Orheim said. ''Johansen said this was cowardly, and the leader should have waited to get the last one.''
The falling out never healed. Amundsen marshalled the rest of his team and excluded Johansen from the successful attempt on the pole.
Later, on the expedition's ship the Fram's arrival in Hobart, Amundsen ordered all crew to stay aboard and refuse any communication with the locals while he went ashore disguised as an ordinary seaman.
Protecting an exclusive deal with European newspapers, he sent the coded telegram to his brother Leon in Norway, suddenly making himself globally famous.
''In those days there were no movie stars. Geographical exploration was intensely followed,'' Dr Orheim said.
Amid the celebrations that followed in Hobart, Johansen was told he would not be travelling back to Norway on the Fram with the other expeditioners.
''He was sent back anonymously, as in disgrace, because of the episode in the south,'' Dr Orheim said. ''I always felt that Amundsen was being vindictive, but then I read Johansen's diary. In it he said he wanted to separate and not follow the Fram. It is likely he was being ostracised.''
Dr Orheim said despite this, he did not believe Johansen's suicide in January 1913 at the age of 45 was a direct result. ''His wife had left him, many things were going wrong in his life, and he was alcoholic.''
As for Amundsen, his demand that Johansen stay anonymous and give no interview about the expedition was based on the financial imperative of maintaining the newspaper and book deals that financed the expedition.
''Amundsen wanted to control all of the news,'' Dr Orheim said.

This comprehensive survey of indigenous languages of the New World introduces students and general readers to the mosaic of American Indian languages and cultures and offers an approach to grasping
There is no better introduction to American Indian languages than this volume. Highly readable and accessible to a general audience, it is a fine read for anyone interested in the subject.
Native California
[There are] no less than 160 languages or language families of North and South America on which substantive information is given, from Inuit to Araucanian and from Eyak to Creek. Along with topics long familiar to specialistssuch as Sapir's discussion of the northern origin of the Navajo, and Haas's work on Koasati genderlectsthere is much fresh material from Silver's and Miller's own field research.

It would be the perfect, authoritative book for that ideal course on American Indian languages that we all yearn to teach. But there is so much in it, so lucidly explained, that it could serve equally well as the organizing text for the more general courses on the anthropology of language that we more frequently give.

their subtleties. Authors Silver and Miller demonstrate the complexity and diversity of these languages while dispelling popular misconceptions. Their text reveals the linguistic richness of languages found throughout the Americas, emphasizing those located in the western United States and Mexico, while drawing on a wide range of other examples found from Canada to the Andes. It introduces readers to such varied aspects of communicating as directionals and counting systems, storytelling, expressive speech, Mexican Kickapoo whistle speech, and Plains sign language. The authors have included basics of grammar and historical linguistics, while emphasizing such issues as speech genres and other sociolinguistic issues and the relation between language and worldview. They have incorporated a variety of data that have rarely or never received attention in nontechnical literature in order to underscore the linguistic diversity of the Americas, and have provided more extensive language classification lists than are found in most other texts. American Indian Languages: Cultural and Social Contexts is a comprehensive resource that will serve as a text in undergraduate and lower-level graduate courses on Native American languages and provide a useful reference for students of American Indian literature or general linguistics. It also introduces general readers interested in Native Americans to the amazing diversity and richness of indigenous American languages.

Published: September 29, 2011 at 9:08 PMI put 20,000 leagues because it was so unique and I remember being mesmerized just watching it when I was young. No other park had anything like it at the time.
Mr. Toads would be the second place for me of what is on the list. I also miss "If you had wings" that was in the Buzz Lightyear spot, and of course "Snow White's Scary Adventures (too soon?)..... but loosing both of those made way for new rides that I also enjoy too. I wish they would not have taken so long to do something with the 20,000 leagues space after it closed. I also hope one day they will utilize the submarine ride system for something in the Florida resort again like they did at Disneyland. Maybe do something with the subs at Animal Kingdom?
Published: September 29, 2011 at 11:53 PMThere really needs to be an "all of the above" choice. All five were great and greatly missed
Published: September 30, 2011 at 12:00 AMMr Toad takes first place for me, followed by a tie between 20000 Leagues and The Skyway.
I still love the original toad in Disneyland, but the was just something about the 2 track WDW version that made it special (and I am not referring to the painting of the naked lady that hung in the pub scene).
One attraction I really miss that opened a few years after the park was the House of Future Living, which was a short diversion that occupied the Speedramp that takes you out of Space Mountain. It was a blatant commercial for RCA products, but it was a fun blatant commercial for RCA products.
Published: September 30, 2011 at 4:07 AMI sincerely miss all of these attractions. I do believe in the old saying that you never change a winning team and this applies to all of these. What you have to ask yourself is :
Published: September 30, 2011 at 7:29 AMNot necessarily original attractions but I miss these:
Alien Encounter
If You Had Wings - nostalgia, Soarin' is much better
Snow White - oh wait that's still there for now.
Published: September 30, 2011 at 7:59 AM20K easily. Just remember how awestruck I was at the notion of going underwater in a vessel. Granted, you technically weren't fully submerged, but only sitting at the lower level. Still it was totally thrilling. Miss that ride everytime I go.
Published: September 30, 2011 at 10:52 AMYou have it screwed up. The main attraction to be killed by Disney was the Diamon Horseshoe Revue -- that is REVUE! It was closed in Sept. 1986 after being put together by Walt Disney and Wally Boag at Disneyland in 1955. It played to pack houses up to the final day. Sadly the picture on Life magazine was not reshot on the 40th with the living cast memebers -- I was one of them and the now management of Disney has forgotten the many that spent hours of over time with no pay to operate and build the theme park.
Published: September 30, 2011 at 11:48 AMI'll be there! And will offer up PLENTY of pics!
I have been on all of the aforementioned rides.
Sort of related to this topic: My cast member pals are all keeping their "eyes and ears" open awaiting word on the final day for "Dumbo's Flight" -- which will close in lieu of the dueling Dumbo attraction slated for the Fantasyland expansion.
Published: September 30, 2011 at 11:44 AMFor clarity, I only experienced the WDW version of these rides, but I'd have to pick 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, as I've always had a fascination with underwater adventure and I loved this ride as a boy and still found it fun as a recent college graduate years later. I don't miss the line queue, however. Mr Toad's Wild Ride would be second, but that doesn't compare to my love of Snow White's Scary Adventure in the darkride arena.
Published: September 30, 2011 at 3:43 PMI never got to ride the Skyway, but I would LOVE to get a bird's eye view of the park!
Published: September 30, 2011 at 5:56 PMI picked 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea as well. I live in Florida so I am a little jealous that Disneyland in California still has both the Submarine Voyage(even though it's been re-themed to Finding Nemo, but they still have it) and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride because those two attractions are quite nostalgic. I know its pretty impossible for the 20,000 Leagues attraction to return to Magic Kingdom as the spot where it used to be is going to be occupied by the new Little Mermaid attraction being built, but they could've replaced the soon to be closing Snow White's Scary Adventures with Mr. Toad instead of a Princess meet n' greet. As for the Skyway, I do miss it a little as it did provide some nice views and made it easy to get to and from two of my favorite Magic Kingdom attractions(Space Mountain and It's A Small World). The Keelboats i've completely forgot about, but I do miss the canoes as i remember seeing them when i was little, but wasn't able to ride them and by the time i was old enough, they had been removed. Oh well, I am glad at least one of my all time favorite Disney World attractions ever(Captain EO)did return and I see it every time I visit. Thank You to Disney for that.
Published: September 30, 2011 at 10:39 PMI've never ridden any of these but:
Published: October 1, 2011 at 6:19 AMHey it's Amy - I'm typing this from my iPhone and I don't remember my login but I'm right in front of the castle waiting for the special show or announcement. The park maps today look like ticket books and the inside has the original map with the old attractions on it. They gave out free 40th buttons at the turnstiles. Will comment again with more when it happens - according to cast members there is a huge announcement being made either this morning or tonight. :)
Published: October 1, 2011 at 8:58 PMRob, I had forgotten how boring the line for 20,000 was. It was one of the most unique attractions, but the line que was pretty terrible (back and forth..... back and forth). I'm glad Disney got better about that as time went on.
Published: October 3, 2011 at 5:52 PMI am surprised that most people picked 20000 leagues under the sea! For me Mr. Toad MK version will always be my favorite Fantasyland (any fantasyland) ride. It was fun, creative, surprising and simple. It is a proof that you don't need hundreds of millions to build a nice attraction.
I really would like to see a 2.0 version of it, with the trackless ride system used in Tokio's Pooh ride (also scheduled to be used in the newFrance's Ratatoille ride).
Published: October 4, 2011 at 1:50 AMI have not been to WDW since 1980 (I know it's been a while!) However, I have a few distinct memories from that trip. First 20k, second some kind of boat ride that had elephants with water coming out of their trunks. Then I remember the Hall of Prsidents and Country Bear jamboree. What a fun time to be there!
Published: October 5, 2011 at 6:37 AMI LOVED 20K. Really wish they still had that.
What i really loved about Disney was all the recorded voices, seemingly from the 50s. I especially remember this from the People Movers. it just made everything feel homey and hearkened back to a simpler time. I am not doing a very good job describing, but i loved the old voice overs/narrations. And i loved the kitschy old rides, like the Mars ride.

Usually about once or twice a year, I break down and make an appointment for a massage. As all the hours add up of providing manual therapy for my patients, as well as my moderately rigorous exercise routine, I feel like I need some relief to start fresh again. It's one of the best gifts I give myself. I am a new person after those massages. My body feels more relaxed and my mind appreciates the hour of total silence. Actually, as I write this, I realize it's about time for my semi-annual massage. I should make an appointment soon.
A good friend of mine used to see a personal trainer. Two or three times a week, she would set up an appointment to increase her weight training, cardio and balance skills and was really happy with the results. After a month of seeing the trainer, she could not believe the results. She dropped a few pounds, fit into her clothes better and her self-esteem was the best I had seen in years.
My father-in-law occasionally sees a chiropractor. Every once in a while he will "tweak" his back and need an "adjustment" to relieve the pain. After a handful of sessions, he feels normal again and no longer needs the services of the chiropractor. (As a side note, I have offered many times to educate my dad-in-law about exercises and stretches he could do to maintain a healthy back, but so far no luck in persuading him to change his routine!).
I have friend who has been trying to conceive a child for many years. This year, she started trying other methods to reproduce, including seeing an acupuncturist to improve her fertility. After a few treatments (as well as other treatments and medications), she is now the happy (and tired) mom to a beautiful baby girl.
So, what do a massage therapist, personal trainer, chiropractor and acupuncturist all have in common? They all have direct access. Anyone can make an appointment and walk right into the offices of these practitioners without a note from their doctor. Why doesn't physical therapy fall under those same standards? PTs have more education than most massage therapists. PTs work alongside chiropractors, often treating the same patients. What needs to change so that if patients need physical therapy, they can make an appointment with their therapist directly and bypass the step (and extra time required) of seeing their physician?
I know not all PTs are on the direct-access boat. Some PTs like the way things are. I can understand that side of the argument. But given that so many other clinicians in the health care field practice without physician referrals, it makes sense that physical therapists should be included in that group.
What do you think? Why are the rules so different between PTs and the professions I listed above? Is there less risk to see a personal trainer than a PT?
I think you need to look at insurance as being one reason. As a Massage Therapist and CSCS,medicare isnt going to pay for any massage or personal training sessions I provide. However, I am also an LPTA and with a Dr. order medicare will cover the physical therapy services I help provide. I think younger PTs will embrace it more , especially those with the DPT. Older PT professionals, at least the ones I know, are very used to the guidance from the physician.

The largest class size within the department is the Marketing Principles class, which is capped at 40 students. Most other classes have limits of 25-35 students. All MKTG classes are taught by faculty (no teaching assistants) with over 75% of all classes taught by professors with a doctorate in the field. At WIU, classes are small enough that our Marketing professors know our students by name in nearly all classes.
