Marie Antoinette - The Soundtrack
From the classical "Concerto in G" to the electronic sounds of New Order's "Ceremony" to the hard rocking "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow, this soundtrack has a little bit of everything. Somehow the diverse elements sync together to become one cohesive whole . . . and a fabulous soundtrack.

DETROIT - To me, the obvious location for having a NHL Winter Classic game in the Detroit area is right downtown at Comerica Park.
But the rumor is the NHL is eyeing a game at Michigan Stadium between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings.
This came as a bit of a surprise to me. I didn't think it made much sense to have the Detroit Red Wings not play in Detroit unless there was not a great venue like Comerica.
Getting fans downtown for another sporting event is always a positive for any city. Detroit, of course, can use the extra traffic as much as the next city. Having the Detroit skyline as a backdrop for a Red Wings game would be nothing short of awesome. Fans could get downtown early, get some food, and stay late at the restaurants and casinos. Our Canadian neighbors could skip over the bridge or through the tunnel. Windsor would benefit, too. A drive out to Ann Arbor is that much longer.
What, exactly, makes the Big House a better venue for an outdoor NHL game?
I've heard the attendance argument: A bigger venue would mean getting more people to the game and a chance to set an attendance record.
Sure, the Big House did a fine job of hosting the Michigan and Michigan State outdoor game. Fans flooded the stands and there were rave reviews of being part of the largest hockey crowd to date.
But, as a Red Wings and hockey fan at heart, those factors still don't have me sold on putting the game outside of Detroit.
As I write this, reports are out that the University of Michigan is working to lock up the game at the Big House.
I consider this a huge loss for the city of Detroit and many Red Wings fans who, I think, share my point of view. When it comes down to it, the Red Wings are a Detroit icon. Not an Ann Arbor icon.
This being said, a Winter Classic in Michigan, anywhere, is long overdo. I would rather have it in Ann Arbor than nowhere at all.
What do you think? Comerica or Big House?

HOUSTON - Intruders shot a woman in southwest Houston after breaking into her house Thursday.
According to Houston police, the home invasion happened in the 5700 block of Vendi Drive around 12 a.m. Investigators said a 60-year-old woman was putting out her trash at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday when two males suddenly approached her and tried to force their way inside.
The woman managed to close the door and trigger her alarm, officers said, but one of the men pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and fired through the door, hitting the woman twice in the leg.
Emergency officials transported the woman to the hospital in stable condition. Her name was not released.
Police said both suspects ran away, and no arrests have been made.
Investigators said they do not know if anything was taken and why the house was targeted.
Neighbors are now concerned for their safety.
"We were all sleeping already and we just heard the gunshots. There were two. And that's when we all woke up. We were scared," resident Rocio Marmol said.
The suspects were between 15 and 25 years old. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

So, here's the dilemma. Keep a "despot" in power since he is the devil we know, or replace him with a more democratic govt. and leaders who are the devils we don't know. Gee, a real hard decision here! Keep +Jonah the devil we now know, or replace him with a conciliar Met. who really believes in an American Church, the devil we don't know. Boy, a tough one!

First, the comparion to the devil is in bad taste,e specially in reference to a Metropolitan. I was taught to respect all Bishop and Priest, even if I do nto a gree with them.
Hving said that Assad is a stablizing factor, and the future could be more democratic or worst off. I Chose Assad.

This speaks volumes about the ruthless behavior of Metropolitan Philip as well. His brutality and insecurity, not to mention his supporters ( who by the way also are supporters of Assad). Like seeks like.

If history teaches us anything, it is that all dictators fall and all repressive regimes eventually come to an end, usually violently and with retaliation from those whom they have oppressed. All who would support such regimes out of their own self-interest would do well to remember this.
Particularly relevant are the examples of the Roman Catholic Church in the French Revolution and the Russian Orthodox Church in the Russian Revolution. Both had chosen stability over justice, supporting an unsustainable status quo in which they held high position; both suffered terribly when the oppressed majority finally revolted both against the oligarchic regimes and against their supporters and fellow travelers.
Christ does not call us to self-preservation, but to martyrdom. He does not ask us to make bargains with the devil; he asks us to love one another as he loved us, even to be willing to die for him and for each other.
The church in Syria has been played. The more it continues to align itself with injustice and oppression and to forget Christ's declaration that the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church, the less it speaks up against ALL oppression and injustice, the less indeed that it truly bears witness to Christ and all he taught us, the greater the chance that it will share in the eventual fate of the Assads and Alawites in their inevitable downfall.
That said, I do not envy the position of the Church in Antioch, and I thank God that I have not found myself in such a difficult position as it finds itself in now. Let us all pray for their safety and salvation.
John Congdon on 2011-09-29 05:07
Dear Mr. Congdon:
I didn't find your post very helpful.
How often, how extensively, and how recently have you actually traveled in Syria? I am guessing not at all. I only went once for a half week or so back in 1998, under the administration of Assad pere, but it left a real impression.
Your analogy to the French and Russian revolutions clearly fails, I believe, because in those situations the religion in question was the only state religion and had been for many centuries. And boy were church and state enmeshed in the formulation and execution of oppressive state policy in ways that filled church coffers.
In Syria professional estimates suggest that all Christians amount to perhaps 10% of the population, spread among several churches, each with a fraction of the 10%. The various Churches have minor roles in the everyday administration of such institutions as education and marriage. But they are allowed
near the engines of political policy formulation or enforcement, let alone getting rich off the spoils thereof.
You seem to assume, mistakenly, I believe, that when Syrian Christian leaders cooperate with the state, or argue against an inchoate revolution liable to be heavily influenced, if not hijacked altogether, by radical Islam if it should succeed, they are doing so as collaborators in oppression. That's far too simplistic. I prefer to see them as favoring the political stability that enables their communities to exist and bear basic witness to Christ in places where they are vastly outnumbered by several different varieties of Islam, including the militant, gun-shooting and bomb-throwing fundamentalist kind.
And the oracular call to Syrian Christian martyrdom is duly noted, issued, one presumes, from a computer desk in a nice safe corner of America where there are few if any gun-toters tasked to pay careful attention to your views.
Personally I prefer to trust that God has spoken to that Church through His local representatives, the Patriarch and Synod, and that they have a better idea than you or I do just which of the many forms of martyrdom the Church has been called to in that country at this time.

Look, Assad is a despotic ruler who suppresses all who oppose him by crushing them - even mass murder. This is not ANYONE any church should support. I know Met. Philip supports him, but he also supported Saddam. What does this tell you? Conciliarity does not really exist in the Antiochian Archdiocese. Met. Philip only cares about those who wield power, money & influence. He is also a despotic ruler and wants this to continue after his reign. This idea of "Eis Polla Ieti DESPOTA" is not how Orthodox bishops are to behave. This aberration was adopted by bishops after the demise of the Byzantine Emperor. Therefore the crown, the saccos (emperor's garb), etc. It REALLY is time for bishop and church reform. CONCILIARITY is how the Church should operate - in the OCA, Antiochians, Greeks, etc.

One brief Thought, under the Shaw in Iran there were many Christians, after the Islamic Revolution most of the Christians are gone and Strict Islamic law is enforced in Civil Laws, if the Assad Goverment fall I feal the Same in syria were we have many Sacrad Orthodox Shrines, Or Lady of Saidyana Convent, that have an Icon painted by the Apostle Luke; St. Thelka Convent in Maloula (sp?) - actual place where the marty was Martyred; St. george Monastery in homs; St. Simeon the New Studite in Alepo; The Head of Johnt he Baptist (in a Mosque in damacus) to name a few. christians are free to workship and convert anyone (even Moslem) the governemnt is non religious.
I am not saying Assad is not a dictator, but the country is stable. The cuyrrent Revolution has the influence of Iraq Sunnie and the Moslem Brotherhood, who want conttrol to amke is a Islamic State. Iif this happens all Christians and its holy sites will disappear like Iran!
wE SHOULD PRAY FOR A PEACEFUL OUTCOME, AND MORE IMPORTANTILY THAT THE sUNNIES DO NTO TAKE POWER THERE.
Anonymous on 2011-09-29 13:36
You see, your logic does not work. You say, "We need to keep Assad in power to protect the Christians." You are assuming the Christians will be in danger without him. Assuming radical Moslems will come to power and get rid of all Christians. I say, BALONEY! Assad is a murderer. He is no better than Saddam, Khadafi or Ahmajinedad. To prefer a murderer over any reform of justice isn't logical.

How much of the money from the Antiochian Archdiocese of America is filtered to Assad by Met.Phillip?
Stephen on 2011-09-29 16:34
Call the Antiochian Archdiocese and ask them for a copy of their detailed, independent audit report. I'm sure you'll find the answer you seek in that report. And by the way, ask them for a complete list of their banks and bank accounts.

After reading the article on this website on sisuation of Christians in Egypt between Christians and Moslem (Sunni), in contrast to Syria where the government is trying not have religion and the state be too conncted, with Moslem extrimist from outside its boarders trying over throw the goverment. This do nto justify Assad crackdown, but he is trying to prevent his country from being drown ion to a secretarian and civil war.

This question is best directed to His Grace Antoun. Who, even as we speak is dilgently preparing his report as Chairman of the "Special Financial Whatchamacallit Was Hoping You Had All Forgot About It By Now" Committee.

Just wondering maybe, those covert operatives of the Detroit AOC who doctored documents during the unwedding (Or was it mass annulment?) of the former Diocesan Bishops could get their whiteout and magic markers going again?
Ya know there are lots of pictures and articles showing Met. Philip with his bff Assad Jr. still in the archives. I think a little historical revisionism might be in order. Just in case the old brutal crackdown, mass executions and lawless incarcerations don't pan out..
Granted it may involve a lot more time and effort than it took to alter a fax or two from the Patriarchate but the obvious expierence and demonstrated willingness to tamper, conceal and coverup might just come in handy, when the damascan chickens come home to roost?
Shred all the flowery articles extolling the virtues of the soon to be in the company of Col. Qadaffi and every picture of Met. Philip with,.. what's his name? Replace all such images with Jamie Farr or his stunt double and everything should just be fine.
If you folks here are tempted to despair as you contemplate the sorry state of your leadership take heart and dwell upon the sorrier state of your brethern in the AOC and be comforted. You at least have the opportunity to fix your messes even if you may not always have the will. We have no opportunity and only the will of His Eminence.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The No.18-ranked Saint Leo men's tennis team (14-5, 3-3 SSC) ran its winning-streak to six matches as they toppled Sunshine State Conference foe Eckerd College (0-15, 0-6 SSC), 9-0, Tuesday afternoon from the Turley Athletic Complex.
The Lions, who finished the SSC schedule with a .500 record, surrendered six total points in three doubles wins, before registering six consecutive, straight-set wins in singles.
Saint Leo's third-flight tandem of Jake Fleischer and Alou Adjenak started the day with a dominating shutout win over Robby Breece and Madison Durley, 8-0. Meanwhile, the Lions No.3-ranked pair of Matt Nicholson-Lewis and Victor Lozier overpowered the Tritons' team of Dylan Randazzo and Stephen Felman, 8-3. Meanwhile, Antoine Raffaelli and Jacobo Gonzalez-Tarrio equaled their teammates performance at No.2 doubles as they defeated Connor Ohlsen and Brian Hill Jr., 8-3.
In singles, Fleischer held serve the entire match as he routed Eckerd's Levy, 6-0, 6-0, at No.5 singles. In addition, Raffaelli went 6-1, 6-0 over Durley at No.6 singles, while No.32-ranked Nicholson-Lewis and Gonzalez-Tarrio earned identical 6-1, 6-1, wins at No.2 and No.4 singles, respectively.
Lozier, ranked No.27 in the latest ITA rankings, defeated Felman in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1.
The No.43-ranked Adjenak bookended the victory with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Randazzo at top-flight singles.
With both the men's and women's teams collecting dominating wins in their conference finale, head coach James Bryce detailed his thoughts. "I am really happy for both teams in their final SSC regular season match today," said Bryce. "The women clinched third place in the conference, and guys fourth. This is a great improvement for both teams, especially the women. However, we still have plenty of tennis to play in the coming weeks with Embry Riddle this weekend at home and the SSC Tournament next weekend. I am excited for us to continue excelling towards our end goals."
Saint Leo will conclude the 2012 regular season on Saturday, April 14, when they play host to Embry-Riddle. It is also senior day for the men as both Yves Jacobs and Jose Morales will be honored before the match. Doubles is set to begin at 1 p.m. from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.

A PAIR of firefighters have been suspended after animosity between them allegedly impacted on their work and ability to lead their team at Drove Road station.
Retained watch manager Chris Studley and retained crew manager John Bolton were relieved from duty in September after they each lodged complaints against the other. Their allegations are being investigated.
Depending on the outcome of the case the on-call firefighters could face anything from dismissal to a written warning, according to the Fire Brigades Union.
FBU secretary Brent Thornley confirmed the claims made by both men were being investigated by Wiltshire Fire & Rescue and the union.
He said: "They have both complained about each other. It's a professional conflict. We have taken the step to avoid further conflict while we wait for the result of the investigation. We will then know how we are going to deal with both of them.
"It's quite a sensitive issue. They work together but the relationship has become very strained which affected the rest of the retained crew. We thought it was the best decision to remove them from Drove Road station. There is long history behind it and needs to be sorted.
"There is the potential for one of them to be dismissed or they could get a written warning or anything in between."
Unlike their full-time colleagues, retained firefighters only attend the fire station when they receive an emergency callout.
In similar types of conflict between full-time firefighters, one party can be transferred to another station. Yet, moving one of them would not be an option as neither would be able to report to another station further away in the required five minutes.
The union said it would be supportive of each of them until such time, if at all, as one of them was found guilty of misconduct.
"As a union we represent both individuals and if we believe they are 100 per cent guilty we will withdraw our support. The union investigation will conclude next week."
A fire service spokesman said: "While we cannot confirm why they were suspended, we can say that it was not for fighting. The disciplinary process is on-going and it would therefore be inappropriate for us to make any further comment."
John Bolton declined to make a comment.
The Adver was unable to contact Chris Studley.

Harlequins fly half Nick Evans has one medal he'd dearly love to have on his mantlepiece and might only have this season to claim it.
The 32-year-old New Zealander, who suffered a very rare off-day against Saracens last Sunday, is in the final year of his contract at the Stoop and already has Amlin Cup and Premiership winners medals in his collection from his five-year spell in the capital.
Quins are yet to make a significant impression in the Heineken Cup – although the doomed run to the quarter finals in 2009 certainly brought the club to the attention of rugby fans on the continent for all the wrong reasons.
Evans is yet to commit his immediate future to the club and has revealed extending his stay hangs on the amount of rugby he will be required to play as the twilight of his career approcahes.
That means it is likely understudies Rory Clegg, Ben Botica and new academy youngster Louis Grimoldby are likely to have to shoulder more of the workload if the mercurial Kiwi is to remain.
And the former All Black international admitted the time has almost come for those behind him in the pecking order to come out of his shadow – and that time might be next year.
"This the last year of my contract and there are a number of options open to me, but it has got to be right because this will probably be the last contract I sign," he said.
"Things are going a little slower than I would have liked but there is no pressure to rush things. I've just go to take my time.
"I came to Quins to play every game – I played 28 games last season – and I love playing for the club, but it is time to be a little bit selfish and decide what is right for me, my body and my family.
"If I was going to go somewhere else and play the same amount of rugby as I do here I may as well stay with Quins. I love living in London and playing my rugby here.
"All three fly halves have fantastic qualities they can bring to the Quins style of rugby now and in the future.
"It is hard for them not playing an awful lot of rugby but I went through the same situation.
"Sometimes you learn as much from watching and really studying the game and how other players perform, as you do from playing the game.
"Their time will come."
Quins, who have started the season where they left off in May, kick off their Heineken Cup campaign with the visit of Biarritz.
And while Evans would love to put another title in the trophy cabinet he insisted director of rugby Conor O'Shea's men would not run before they could walk.
"A Heineken Cup medal would look nice on the mantlepiece and would complete the collection," said the Kiwi.
"But there is a long way to go in that competition. We've got a tough group to get out of. Biarritz are one of the giants of the French game so to get past them would be a hell of an achievement. We know what is ahead and it is a case of taking each step at a time."

Assassin's Creed III launched earlier this week on the Xbox 360 and PS3 and the response to the game has been somewhat mixed. However, Ubisoft has been touting an exclusive DLC pack for the PS3, featuring Benetict Arnold. These missions are meant to provide more gameplay and might actually sway your decision on what version to get of the game.
However, in playing the Xbox 360 version yesterday, Pixel Related noticed something odd.
As big as the subject of Benedict Arnold is, I'm betting on timed exclusive.
You know what happend to the gtaIV dlc right??
So it's possible.

Huckleberry History Volume XXIV, Number 4
Huckleberry History Volume XXIV, Number 4 ... 15 December 2002
Soldier was born c1745 [Johnston, later Dobbs, then Wayne County NC]; Probable son of Moses BOYT. One record gives his name as William B. BOYT. He m: Jane (b. c1750 of Duplin Co., NC and d. after 8 March 1834). His brothers are believed to be Arthur, Ephraim, and Samuel. William was taxed in 1814 in Duplin Co. He was between 80 and 89 in 1830 and was still living in 1834 when he applied for a Rev. War pension. During the war he served from Wayne and Duplin Counties, NC. He was drafted under Col. [James] KENAN and Capt. Hardy HOLMES for 3 months. He was sent to Fayetteville, then down river to Elizabethtown in Bladen Co. NC. Then served a tour under General [Thomas] EATON and Capt. Hardy HOLMES. Drafted for 9 months started from Duplin County, he joined the army at Elizabethtown NC, and went on through SC to Augusta then to Burke Co.[GA] where he was stationed. During his second term of service, he was a spy in the Creek Indian Nation and fought at Brier Creek [March 3, 1779], but was defeated and swam the river on retreat. In his deposition he stated that he "dropped his gun to save a man from drowning" and saved his life. He managed to catch up with one American officer on the "Duplin side" of the Savannah River in SC. One statement shows that he entered service at the fork of Little and Neuse rivers. He was discharged in GA in 1779. During his 3rd term of service, he was drafted for 6 months just before the close of the war. He started from Duplin, met army or joined it at Elizabethtown, marched toward the SC line then towards Brunswick, crossed into NC twice, then marched to the NE river to the big bridge about 10 miles from Wilmington. The bridges were gone, but they stayed there 5 or 6 weeks. Col. McMUDDAY joined them. William was in the company with Major [Abraham] MOLTON, Major James GILLISPIE. They left the bridge area for Duplin County to ascertain the movements of the British, but the British had gone [August 1781] to Newbern. He pursued the British as far as Newbern, then returned and helped mend the bridges. He was discharged soon after "Cornwallis was taken"[Oct. 19, 1781]. He deposed that he "never received any pay while in service" and was given $50 in continental money when discharged in Newbern "and he give it for a piper" [Inn]. All total he served 18 months. He received no pension prior to 1834. He stated that he lived most of his life before, during, and after the Revolutionary War in Duplin County, except one year when he lived in Lenoir County NC on the Tuckaho. He served under Gen. ASHE of New Hanover, Major [Abraham] MOLTON of Duplin, Col. KENAN, Col. Charley WARD, Stephen MILLER, Capt. James GILLISPIE, Maj. James LOVE, Capt. Hardy HOLMES and Sgt. Joseph MAO (Moore) all of Duplin County NC. Also General [Thomas] Eaton, Col. MALMUDDY, and Major HENDERSON.

"I just love a summer cookout or even a tailgate party every now and then! However, to have a successful meal centered around grilled items, you need key dishes to support and round out the menu. These Lobster Rolls do just the trick for any party or tailgate venue and to be honest, it's just down-right delicious," Chef Lee said.
Lobster Roll
Serves 4
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Lobster Sauce:
- 1 cup white wine (HEB Cooking Connections)
- 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 large shallot, chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 sprig fresh tarragon
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1 pound cold HEB sweet cream butter, medium dice
- Lemon juice
- Kosher Salt
- Kosher Salt
- 4 (1 1/2 pounds each)
Lobster Rolls:
- 4 brioche hot dog buns
- HEB salted butter, as needed to toast the buns
- Mayo Mustard, recipe follows
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 2 lemons, quartered
For the lobster sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-heat, reduce the white wine and tarragon vinegar with the peppercorns, shallots, bay leaf, tarragon and thyme until the mixture is nearly dry, about 10 minutes. Add the half-and-half and reduce by two-thirds, about 5 minutes.
Decrease the heat to low and whisk in the butter, chunk by chunk, stirring constantly until each piece is nearly melted. Remove the lobster sauce from the heat and season it with lemon juice and salt. Strain the lobster sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Hold the lobster sauce warm in a saucepan over very low heat until the lobster is ready.
For the lobsters: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare a bath of icy water. Drop the lobsters in the boiling water for 20-30 seconds and immediately shock them in the ice bath to stop the cooking. Extract the tail, claw and knuckle meat from the lobsters. The meat will still be translucent and raw. Remove the mud line from the tails and dice the tail meat into bite-size chunks.
Add the lobster meat to the lobster sauce. Very slow warm the meat until it is just barely cooked through. Be sure to agitate the pan frequently to prevent the sauce from breaking. If it does start to break, sprinkle it with a few drops of cold water and take it off the heat for a moment. For the lobster buns: In a sauté pan, toast the sides of the buns with butter until crispy and golden. Spoon the cooked lobster meat into the prepared buns. Add as much lobster sauce as desired. Drizzle the lobster rolls with Mayo Mustard, drizzle with HEB yogurt and sprinkle liberally with chives. Serve with a lemon wedge.
Mayo Mustard Recipe:
- 3/4 teaspoon dried mustard, such as Coleman's Mustard Powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon HEB Dijon mustard
- Dash hot sauce
- Kosher salt
Combine the dried mustard with 1 1/2 teaspoon water and lemon juice. Whisk in the mayo, Dijon, hot sauce and salt to taste.

Federal IT managers are moving into the heavy-lifting phase of buying and supporting cloud computing, where they will confront an often-confusing array of challenges in matching agency needs to the technology's capabilities.
"It's the end of the hype cycle for cloud services," said Mark Day, deputy assistant commissioner, integrated technology services at the General Service Administration's Federal Acquisition Service. "The real work is ahead" in establishing tried-and-true acquisition strategies for federal agencies looking to get cloud capabilities, he said.
Programs such as FedRAMP, aimed at providing uniform security capabilities for cloud services and providers, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology's efforts to provide underlying cloud standards have proven effective, Day said. But there is still a considerable amount of practical acquisition experience to be gained.
In March 26 remarks at an FCW-sponsored panel on buying into the cloud, Day said some federal CIOs still confuse managed services with cloud services. Managed services, he said, provide services for enterprise operations on a more-or-less fixed scale, while cloud services depend on a huge user base to support service prices. "Cloud shares risk across many customers. It's a matter of scale," Day said. "Shared services carve up the scale, shrinking savings and scalability."
"With managed services, the buyer pays for the cost of capacity not used," he said. With true cloud services, he explained, a user may use only 50 percent of what they expected, but the costs are absorbed by the vast user base of the provider.
Frank McNally, a former federal contracting officer who is now content developer for ASI Government's virtual acquisition office, likened cloud services to a utility company, with many users drawing from a large source, paying only for the amount they actually use.
A sometimes-hazy understanding of the cloud business case is not the only challenge, Day said. Established federal contracting vehicles can also be tricky to apply to cloud capabilities, which often cross traditional contracting lines.
"There are proponents for IDIQ [indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity] and fixed-price contracting for cloud services, said Michael McFarland, director of the office of acquisitions at GSA FAS. "A requirements contract could fit" if strong service-level agreements and performance metrics are included. "GWACs [government-wide acquisition contracts] have been used too."
The intricacies of contracting and the fluidity of vendor terminology, they said, also complicate McNally's utility analogy. "[Cloud] is like a utility model," said McFarland, "but we see cloud providers all have different models" with different pricing.
Cloud brokers -- third-party entities that act as intermediaries between cloud providers and buyers -- present an even more complicated acquisition proposition.
Ultimately, Day and McFarland said, federal contracting officials are still working on how to handle cloud acquisition.
To come to a more practical acquisition strategy, they said, federal IT managers must more effectively communicate cloud's business model and what it can accomplish. At the same time, federal contracting officials should more clearly communicate their complicated work to IT. Defining what cloud services are and what is expected from them will also help.
McNally offered some practical advice, using commercial business cloud services as a guide. He said contracting officers shouldn't prescribe details like the number of servers and their configuration, site inspections and audit requirements.
"Stay within commercially acceptable lanes. Lengthy service level agreements can also hamper some of the cost efficiencies for cloud services," said McNally. "Focus on outcomes. Stay out of the weeds."
Despite the complicated environment cloud services inhabit, Day expressed confidence that federal contractors and IT managers will get the hang of it. "We will figure out the answers and this will take off," he said.

Congress and watchdog agencies have dinged the IRS for lacking an enterprise cloud strategy seven years after it became the official policy of the U.S. government.
The General Services Administration posted detailed data on how the $50 billion Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions contract might be divvied up.
The White House announced a long-planned move to elevate Cyber Command to the status of a full combatant command.
Verizon says it will carve a dedicated network out of its extensive national 4G LTE network for first responders, in competition with FirstNet.
The Heritage Foundation is recommending that hundreds of thousands of federal jobs be replaced by automation as part of a larger government reorganization strategy.
Defense officials hope the Common Access Card's days are numbered as they continue to test new identity management solutions.
Mr. McNally is not saying anything new. Contract Management Magazine published an article "Utilitization of Cloud" 2 years ago. The problem with the analogy is looking at it as a utility for the purposes of understanding cloud, and treating it as a utility for contractual purposes, are two completely different things. Does it matter who provides your kilowatts to your home? No. A kilowatt is a kilowatt. Does it matter who provides your water to your home? No. A gallon is a gallon. Company aside the end product is no different. The same cannot be said of cloud. Differences in the pricing, structure, delivery, and terms exist. A CO needs to be more aware of this, and analogies can over simplify and confuse.
Agreed, cloud should no longer be a mystery and nor should the already available (and proven) acquisition strategies to make it happen. Ordering Agencies should simply state their objectives or identify specific SOW tasks, issue the requirement on GSA Schedule 70, and allow any of the hundreds of primes to compete for the business that have Cloud Service Provider (e.g. AWS, Microsoft, Terremark, etc.) SKUs on their contracts already or form CTAs with Schedule 70 primes who do. End the hype, the unecessary "specialty BPAs" and tax dollar wasting limited competition GWACs and Agency IDIQs and let's get to work.

"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"I am so happy with these invitations! They are simple, yet beautiful and classy. I wanted to put all the information (reception and all) on one card, and I needed to make a second set in another language. The designer followed my instructions perfectly and made great suggestions to fit the text on the page. They turned out even better than expected. The paper quality (I used the shimmer paper) was excellent. I would recommend the shimmer paper. I can't say enough about the service as well. The proofs were done so quickly, the people on the phone were amazing and friendly and the package was delivered days ahead of time. The only hiccup I had was that they were unable to tell me what the customs/duties would be so I had to just keep my fingers crossed. In the end, it wasn't so expensive (about $60 for Canada). I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to any bride-to-be!"
"Beautiful cards. I got them printed on the shimmer paper and put them into laser cut envelopes I got from another source. So elegant and clean. Staff is AMAZING. Very kind and attentive, everytime I called them, they were very helpful and patient. My invitations arrived 1 week before scheduled delivery. Fast service! For canadian customers, please remember you will be charged the current exchange rate and duties via UPS (a few little surprises I forgot about when paying)!"
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"These invites were perfect for our Late August rustic themed wedding. Designing was simple and they arrived earlier than expected! Terrific experience!"

HOUSTON - A 7-year-old girl was thrown out of a pickup truck during a carjacking at a north Harris County Walmart Wednesday, according to deputies.
The crime happened in the Walmart parking lot at 155 East Louetta near Interstate 45 around 8 p.m.
Harris County deputies said the child's mother had just buckled her daughter inside her pickup truck after shopping at the store when two men approached her, forced her away from the truck and took off. At the same time, she was trying to free her daughter from the vehicle.
"I opened the door and I was like, 'My daughter's in there,' and they took off," said the mother, who did not want to be identified.
The woman caught up with the truck a second time and found the door was locked. The thieves took off, but the commotion had attracted the attention of other shoppers.
The carjackers then pushed the girl from the truck before driving off.
"Another guy chased him down," a parent said.
The mother and daughter suffered scrapes and bruises but no serious injuries.
Deputies are searching for the suspects.

MCALLEN, Texas - A South Texas woman is appealing for mercy from Mexico's brutal Zetas drug cartel, which she believes is behind the March 30 abduction of her husband by three gunmen who stormed into their home.
Marina Morfin tells The Monitor of McAllen the three smashed through their glass front door and held her and her 4-year-old daughter at gunpoint. She says when her husband Armando Morfin arrived home, they took him away.
"Please, just let him go," she said in an interview with the newspaper. "I don't know what he's done wrong that they had to take him away. Just let him go. He's sick. He's more use to us than to them. His kids need him. His family needs him. I need him."
The three who stormed the house acted professionally, she said. They wore matching camouflage outfits, including caps and face masks, and spoke only fluent Spanish.
"They told me who they were and they told me not to look at them, so I closed my eyes," she said. "I was so scared. I really thought they were going to kill me."
Instead, she said they bound and gagged her and her daughter and waited until Armando Morfin arrived home.
"Next thing I know, I hear him coming and he gets off the car," she said of her husband. "And that's when he opens the door and yells out loud, `What the (expletive)?"'
After a struggle, the three overpowered the man and took him, the family's cellphones and their car keys, she said.
"Thank God that they didn't touch me," she said. "They didn't do anything to me or to my daughter. I just don't know what they're doing to my husband."
Armando Morfin, 40, has not been seen since. He owns a landscaping business that provided "no luxuries," said his wife, whom The Monitor reported has moved out of Texas. Doctors had diagnosed him in December, she said, as having multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system.
Morfin drew an 8-yaer prison sentence in 1999 after pleading guilty to felony drug possession, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety database.
Morfin's family is offering a monetary reward for anyone with information as to his whereabouts, The Monitor reported.\
"I have to have hope because if there's no hope, there's no life," his wife said. "I know he's going to come back to me. He has to. He has three wonderful kids who love him, and I adore him."

POLICE are appealing for help searching for a missing Berkshire man whose car was spotted in Dorset earlier this week.
Richard Brockbank, 27, from Thatcham, was last seen at a petrol station in Newbury at 10pm on Monday (MAY 19). Officers believe he is in the Dorset area as his car, a black Ford Fiesta, has since been found in Wareham.
Chief Inspector Rob France said: "We are increasingly concerned for Richard's welfare as he hasn't been seen since Monday, neither has he been in contact with family and friends, which is very out of character for him."
He is described as white, 5 feet 9 inches tall and of average build, with short black hair and a trimmed beard. He was last seen wearing a light green hooded top with a large logo on the front and dark jeans.
Contact Thames Valley Police with information on 101, quoting "URN 77 of 20/5".

Ahhhh, the virtual world, (you can't help but rub your hands together like a mad scientist on the verge of discovering the formula that will take over the world when you approach your portal of choice), whether it's the:
- iPad
- iTouch
- laptop
- Wii
- Dsi or
- your cell phone
They are all brimming with possibilities, to take you to unknown lands, to solve the mysteries of the moment in your life, to transport you to vivid worlds of escapism, to help you diagnose every ailment within a 10 mile radius and to connect you with your "village." This is the world we have been waiting for, ever since Captain Kirk beamed up Scotty and the Jetsons popped a tiny pill in a machine and poof! There was dinner. It's our turn now, our chance to make magic happen in the palm of our hands. With one finger swipe, we've got the power. Alas, if only life were that simple. For in reality, there's the yin and the yang. And too much of a good thing is never a good thing. We need to strike a balance.
That begs the question, what is a balance? In this case, my simple answer is, we are in balance when we feel no pain, discomfort or uneasiness. When we can flow, we are in balance.
Now, let's apply that to the myriad of digital technologies that many of us use day to day, for many hours of the day and shine the light on our balance, or lack there of.
(WARNING: before we go any further, if you are reading this on your phone, please look up every few sentences, we wouldn't want you to end up face down in a water fountain that would be a "float" not a "flow".)
Consider these scenarios:
You wake up and text your co-workers, so you are all on the same page about the day's projects. You are up, out the door, on the road and on time. You are flowing with your technology.
You are skyping with your lover who is in some far away land and you only manage two hours of sleep, causing you to miss your dental appointment for the third time. Although, many would sympathize with your Billy Dee and Diana Ross-type love affair. Clearly, this is out of balance and not good for your teeth.
Your 7-year- old is having a tantrum on the family room floor because he wants to play the "Batman Lego" game on his PSP one more time, but he hasn't practiced piano, eaten his dinner or finished his homework AND it's a school night for heaven's sake. This is pain for you, pain for him and pain for the school counselor who has to navigate his shoddy school record and piece together some semblance of a college application when the time comes.
And finally, you are on the road to a small town in northern Michigan to attend your husband's new supervisor's family soiree. You WILL be late if something doesn't change, because your good eyes tell you that you've past that general store and the blue house with the ducks on the front lawn at least three times, but your good sense tells you to keep quiet. When your other half pops into the gas station to pay for gas and buy snacks (directions are the last thing on his mind), you quickly punch up the the new boss' address on your pocket GPS and voila, mystery solved, marital mood intact and your hubby's new higher -paying job is secure. You, my dear, are flowing with your technology.
Humor aside, the larger question that looms, as our technologies and digital opportunities seep deeper and deeper into our personal and workplace lives, is are we better for it?
When some statistics, just discussed on the "Today" show, say young American teens are spending on average 53 hours per week online, we have to wonder what that's doing to their parents' Internet bill and our teens' developing perception of their lives and our world. Can you tell the philosopher in me is going to chime in? After the shocking Columbine shootings in 1999, our country was left searching for answers. I was most impressed and changed by the sociologists who went as far as looking at how urban planning and architectural design of our country's cities and homes respectively, had come to assist in creating mass DISCONNECT, leading to isolationism and creating more opportunities for misguided, hormonally driven teens who are already on the fringe to act out in a veritable vacuum. Key word here: DISCONNECT. If our USE of technologies is contributing to our families, friendship circles and other communities being more DISCONNECTED, then I would say we are out of balance.
How do we incorporate this deluge of digital delicacies into our lives and into the lives of our families without creating a disconnect and being out of balance? My answer, don't let it take over you, you take over it. Set boundaries and parameters for your digital dalliances.
A. For yourself, set a time limit for e-mails. And why bother with all the forwards that are like chain letters that implore you to send this same e-mail to 10 more friends, or else you break the vibe and don't get the $500 coming your way. Real friends don't junk up your inbox with these time wasters.
B. Don't text when you are with your children and you know you should be interacting with them. They see it, process it, emulate it and internalize your apparent priorities. Save it. That's the beauty of texting, it's not immediate and it'll be there when you get to it.
C. For your family, set some "techno time and place limits." Consider the Obama family plan, no digital anything, including TV, until Friday night after school, Saturday and Sunday. As for place limits, really, at the dinner table? Do I even have to speak on that?
D. Incentivize digital usage by your family. It seems to me that most of the time spent on DSis playing games are "brain drain" video fun, like when we played "Galaga" (my favorite) or "Pac Man" before remote controls were invented. Mind you, I couldn't just hang out at the arcade for hours on end. Consider this: an hour of book reading can net your child a half -hour on the Wii.
E. Tune in to how you feel and how your children are behaving. If your eyes are burning and turning red, only your thumbnails are breaking and you haven?t heard your 10-year-old say a thing in an hour at home, well you may be enjoying the peace and quiet, but the price of that quiet is all the childhood moments you can't get back, moments full of those "kids say the darndest things" times, moments when you could be connecting.
While, our digital technologies continue to expand and evolve, we are living during an especially amazing time in history. Let us not lose sight though of the purpose for which we've toiled to innovate. Correct me if I'm wrong, but our goals are to improve upon our current state of affairs, not drown out and disconnect from our lives. I do enjoy the new world of technologies at my fingertips, but I am careful with my time. We only have so much of that and I don't know about you but when my time is up, I hope to have USED the virtual world to do more of what seems to matter the most, stay in balance and connect. Somehow a condolence message sent via text just wouldn't do.
That brings me to another thing........we'll look at that next time!

SANFORD, Fla. - A man was shot in the chest and killed Wednesday night in Sanford, and police continue to search for two assailants.
Marcus Killingsworth, 23, died in the shooting, which happened around 10 p.m. at a home in the 1100 block of 12th Street.
According to Sanford police, two men approached Killingsworth in an apparent robbery attempt and an altercation ensued. One or both of the culprits shot Killingsworth multiple times, and he died while being taken to Central Florida Regional Hospital, police said.
No details about the shooters have been released.
Much of the neighborhood was blocked off with crime tape and several evidence markers were placed at the scene.
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to call Sanford police or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Going to be moving there soon, looks like lots of crime. Any advice on areas to rent in before buying a house, specific places to stay away from, etc?
Married with 2 dogs and no kids if that makes a difference. People on city-data seem pretty pessimistic but I tend to not take people serious if they consider tourist attractions like the Alamo and 6th street in austin as the positives for a great city to live in.
Any input on living in this area?
Any input appreciated.

I'm trying to accomplish something like the above screen. Can anyone give me some tricks? My ideal solution would be to use just one background image because later on I'll use the same perspective effect on blocks with different height. So maybe a background like this would help, and just control it with background-position?
Any ideas are appreciated!
Just wanted to point out that, using the arcane magick known as [CSS triangles, it's totally possible to recreate this effect with just CSS. [url=http://jsfiddle.net/TVkUw/]Here's my attempt.](http://davidwalsh.name/css-triangles)
The best part is, it works in all browsers!
...Because it uses a bunch of empty, extraneous HTML!
...And it won't help you at all when it comes to variable heights, because you have to do a lot of ugly, explicit size declarations.
...not to mention how much of a pain it would be to change and adapt to new elements...
But hey, it saves you an HTTP request :/
Likewise, I would do it with CSS, perhaps like so:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">

Hey All!
I built a slideshow using jQuery Elixon Theatre and am having trouble with how it initializes across different browsers. For example, the images might zoom in and freeze momentarily in Chrome as it initializes or load over-sized and disproportionately in Safari but corrects itself after a few seconds. Is there any way to have it load and initialize properly across different browsers?
Thanks, Sean
Do you have a link to your page so we could take a look at it?
I do!
Thanks Michael
Did that link work for you?
Hi,Don't hold me to this but try encompassing your javascript call in the following
$(document).ready( function(){
// Javascript stuff here...
This would stop the jquery actioning before the page is fully loaded.
Let me know if it helps.
If you move the script to just before the </body> tag (which is where JavaScript belongs so that it doesn't slow the loading of the page) then you may be able to get rid of the code that tests if the page has loaded because at that point you know it already has.
It is just before the closing body tag isn't it?
Well if it is there then why are you worrying about onload or ready. Just run the code straight away as tat that point the page has already loaded.
Well adding the check appeared to fix the issue. But the OP hasn't tried it out yet.
I just moved it all down there but it doesn't seem to be getting rid of the zoom and other onload issues. Thanks felgall for the pointer though!

About the Book
In a city of northern Thailand, Sampol is a college student with no real
direction. When on a school
archaeological expedition to a cave temple near a small village, robbers raid the temple. They steal, amongst other things, a sacred sapphire.
Sampol winds up in the possesion of a pair of mystical armbands. Soon after, he discovers that he has unusual powers. As his powers grow, Sampol starts to find his direction. He spends his nights putting a stop to criminal
activities to become a Jungle Shadow.
The stolen gem has powers of it's own and the abbot of the small village implores Sampol to retrieve the artifact before the thieves realize what they have, or is it already too late?

Everyone, how would you describe him and/or his music? I recently referred to his music as lo-fi eerie melodrama for the ear. Use as many or as few words as you want.
Here's what some other people had to say:
Ariel Pink wrote:John Maus is a maniac on a bloody crusade; a tortured evangelist on a mercenary quest to rid our world of villainous defilers of The Gospel of True Love. By turns shockingly infectious and disarmingly unpredictable, his music conflates a perplexing marriage of Moroder's 'Never Ending Story' and classical 12-tone renegades of 20th century past, harking THE NEW path which resurrects romance from its post-modern shackles, and reignites the promise of a better world.
Upset The Rhythm wrote:John Maus lives and works in Austin, Minnesota. Although best known as a core member of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and keyboard player with Animal Collective's Panda Bear, Maus is a musician with a distinctive sound of his own.
Myspace of the Maus wrote:It took this Ariel Pink cohort five years to write and record his debut album, and only five minutes to become more annoying than Ariel Pink.
For me, this is just too weird. The first couple of tracks make this the most skip-able album of 2006.
-Subba Cultcha
Apparently, Maus spent five years working on this album, which is a shame because, frankly, its awful.
There isn't one song you could call 'good' on the whole album.
-Music Zine
Overall, I can't recommend this album even as a novelty listen. Maybe I just don't get it. It seems as if Maus sabotages practically any hint of an interesting melody, lyric, or instrumental part with a blatantly grating one at almost every turn.
-Indie Workshp
Maus's baroquely deadpan voice - and thats being polite - effectively spoils many a song. Some will hear a little Nick Cave in it; others will hear a man crapping out of his mouth.
-Drowned in Sound
If it is supposed to be funny, it is not. If it is meant seriousy, then Maus needs some SERIOUS help.
-Another Zine

"The Jumanji" Honeycomb Fumed Spoon4.68 out of 5 stars from 25 reviews.
How It's Made
Glass Spoon Pipes
Despite their straightforward nature, making hand pipes requires a large amount of training and experience. Glass artists start with a tube about four inches long and decorate it with a variety of techniques such as fuming, linework, etc. Next the artist starts to create the shape of the pipe by stretching the neck and forming the mouthpiece. The artist then carefully blows into the end of the tube to expand the glass and shape the bowl. They then push the bowl and pop the carb before placing it in the kiln to finish!

According to Bishop Nikolai Velimirovch in The Prologue from Ohrid:
And when the fullness of time was come, God sent His only-begotten Son` (Gal. 4:4), to save the human race. And when the ninth month had come after the archangel Gabriel appeared to the most holy Virgin in Nazareth, saying: `Hail) thou that art highly favoured... thou shalt conceive and bear a son` — at that time a decree went forth from Caesar Augustus that all the inhabitants of the Roman Empire be taxed. In accordance with this decree, everyone had to go to his own town and there be inscribed. Therefore righteous Joseph came with the most holy Virgin to Bethlehem, the city of David, for they were both of the royal House of David. But, there being a great many people in that small city for the census, Joseph and Mary could not find a lodging in any house, and found shelter in a cave which the shepherds used as a sheepfold. In this cave the most holy Virgin gave birth to the Saviour of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ. Bearing Him without pain, as He was conceived without sin of the Holy Spirit and not of man, she herself wrapped Him in swaddling bands, worshipped Him as God and laid Him in a manger. Then righteous Joseph drew near and worshiped Him as the divine Fruit of a virgin womb. Then the shepherds came in from the fields, directed by an angel of God, and worshiped Him as Messiah and Saviour. The shepherds had heard a multitude of angels singing: `Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill among men` (Luke 2:14). At that time there also came wise men from the East, led by a wonderful star, bearing their gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh, and worshiped Him as King of kings, offering Him their gifts (Matt. 2:11). Thus He came into the world Whose coming had been foretold by the prophets and Who was born in the way that they had prophesied: of the most holy Virgin, in the city of Bethlehem, of the lineage of David according to the flesh, at the time when there was no longer in Jerusalem a king of the tribe of Judah, but Herod the stranger was on the throne. After many types and prefigurings, messengers and heralds, prophets and righteous men, wise men and kings, finally He appeared, the Lord of the world and King of kings, to perform the work of the salvation of mankind that could not be performed by His servants. May His be eternal glory and praise! Amen.
This Icon This product is a laminated and mounted high quality icon print. The icon`s low luster laminate finish seals and protects it from dirt and moisture. It is mounted on high-quality wood and the edges are beveled and then painted in a traditional red color. The icon is keyholed on the back for immediate hanging.
This Icon`s Sizes Since these icons are mounted prints, the exact final size is dependent on the original print`s dimensions. The manufacturer of this Icon sizes their Small and Large size icons by fixing the vertical dimension and letting the width adjust proportionally. For example, a Large (8 x 10) Icon could be 8 1/2 x 10 or 7 x 10. Regardless of the proportional width, the height of a Large Icon will always be 10; the height of a Small Icon will be 6. However, the XL icon size is determined by fixing the width at 11 and then the vertical dimension is fluid depending on the original icon`s proportions.
Availability of these Icons We will strive to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. However, many of our icons are made-to-order and may take up to 10 business days. XXL and Iconostasis Icons are considered custom items and may take up to three weeks. We are not able to accept returns of XXL or Iconostasis size icons for any reason other than product defect or damage.
If you need a particular icon any sooner than two weeks, we suggest that you specify your need-by date in the additional notes area on our order form.

TO link with National Bike Week, a safety initiative has been launched to make sure that a trip in the saddle does not lead to a hospital bed, or worse.
The awareness drive, by Warwickshire and West Mercia Police and the Safer Roads Partnership, is a response to warmer weather and lighter evenings, when a spin on two wheels is a more inviting prospect for many people.
Vicki Bristow, communications manager for the Safer Roads Partnership said: "Cycling is popular within this region and the culture is growing, however people need to take care in order to ensure they are doing it as safely as possible.
"With the right precautions cycling can be safe form of transport. Our road network now is increasingly becoming a shared space for many, so we're not only encouraging cyclists to be more aware and take on board some of our advice but also urging other motorists to take more care on the roads and watch out for other road user groups, giving them plenty of time and space. "
Police are urging cyclists to take care at junctions, to wear bright and visible clothing, and to always wear a helmet.
Cyclists are also being asked to be aware of pedestrians, just as motorists should be aware of bikes.

At summer camp
Sorry for the long radio silence. David, Joey and I have been away at summer camp.
Or rather, we were teaching in the Neural Systems and Behavior course at Woods Hole, which is like summer camp for scientists, complete with nerdy songs and t-shirts, late night ukelele playing, morning lectures, intensive lab work, and a marathon weekend at the beginning where we had to set up a functional neurophysiology rig from scratch in three days. It was a blast.
None of this would have been possible with my parents, who graciously agreed to accompany us and take care of Joey. I'm not sure they realized quite how much laundry this would entail. At any rate we were very grateful they could join us.
I've done a little sewing since we got back. I finished my olive twill skirt (pictures soon) and I'm slowly finishing up a blouse I started before I left. To be honest, I've mostly been thinking about fall sewing. And buying fabrics for said fall sewing (bad roo!). Since the weather's been nice we've been taking Joey out for walks in the evening. I started going to yoga again and taking Joey to a dance class for toddlers. Which means I often want to collapse as soon as Joey is in bed.
Anyway we are having a great summer and I hope you are too!
