Tasks / Journey To The End Of The Night London
A pursuit across London in 6 parts.
The city spreads out before you. Rushing from point to point, lit by the slow strobe of fluorescent buses and dark streets. Stumbling into situations for a stranger's signature. Fleeing unknown pursuers, breathing hard, admiring the landscape and the multitude of worlds hidden in it.
For one night, drop your relations, your work and leisure activities, and all your usual motives for movement and action, and let yourself be drawn by the attractions of the chase and the encounters you find there.
No bikes, no cars, just feet and public transportation.
Document your experience.

this task is retired
I feel i should probably elaborate a little more on this taskevent.
The Journey To The End of the Night London already happened on May 11th, as part of Hide and Seek, Londons first pervasive games festival. Run with the permission of Sam, Sean and Ian (Annoyingly we couldnt scrape together enough funding to fly them over, this time around.)
The Journey and the other games at the festival netted SF0 several new players so i feel it was certainly a worthy venture.
And of course with all Journey To The end Of The Nights, here the people who played it can record their own journeys.
I love it. If SF0 is going to continue to grow, it'll need to spread/organized like this. Hell yeah.
I just read all three of the praxis and now I get it. I am of the opinion that you should really rewrite this task.
I enjoyed reading the task thinking that I would have to stumble all over my town (LA) on foot or public transportation, leaving behind all my motives, friends and avoiding the pitfalls of bars or nightlife.
BUT that's not what this is now is it? It's a city wide game of tag organized with rally points, safe areas, set chasers and runners not to mention other rules that are not written in your description.
Am I being a total bummer? sorry. I'll shut up now.
Hmm yes i do see your point. I was keen to make sure the london journey was as close to the original, the manhattan, and the brooklyn, so keeping the same text seemed right. But as were in a new era and have a huge influx of new players who arent familiar with the shenanigans of the impossible exchange..
Then again.. what am i saying.. if you did run through LA.. stumbling over town and so forth.. id vote for you! Do it!

The Renin Group of companies has been granted protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, "to preserve the company as a viable operation and preserve 300 jobs" Ontario Superior Court Justice Mesbur noted in her endorsement of its application for "immediate relief."
The Renin Group is the parent corporation of Renin Corp., Renin Corp. US and Kingstar Products (Western Inc.) based in Brampton, Ontario. All three companies are named in the court's order.
Renin is a leading manufacturer of closet doors, wall décor, system and hardware and fabricated glass. It has manufacturing and distributions centres in Concord and Brampton, Ontario; Vancouver, British Columbia; Tupelo, Mississippi; and London, England. The Group supplies a variety of products to the big box, home centre, distributor, OEM, fabricator, builder direct and specialty retail home improvement channels.
In its court filing, the Group said that its operations are sound, but that it has suffered from the impact of the recent cyclical downturn in the US housing industry. Renin and Renin US are in default of a 2007 credit agreement with five private lenders, described in their counsel's factum as "2nd Lien lenders." The three applicant companies are at an impasse because one of these lenders has been unwilling to agree to a waiver and extension agreement pushing the maturity of their loans back by two years and continuing the paid-in-kind interest arrangements currently in place.
As of November 30, 2011, Renin and Renin US owed the 2nd Lien lenders more than $57 million. These loans are secured by a first ranking security against the debtors' fixed assets, some excluded cash assets, a pledge of Renin shares and a second ranking security against their working capital.
Four of the five lenders, who account for 80% of the value of the outstanding 2nd Lien loans, have agreed to the terms of a restructuring proposal presented by Renin, but the fifth has declined. On November 24, 2011 the fifth lender sent a demand letter requiring that the business be shut down and the assets liquidated, prompting the application for CCAA protection.
According to the applicants' counsel, none of the other stakeholders favour a shutdown of the business. In fact, the applicants said that they would be in breach of their agreements with their primary lenders if they attempted to conduct an out-of-court sale process.
But their default on their 2nd Lien loans has triggered defaults on a credit agreement with their primary lenders who have declined to renew their credit agreement without a restructuring or refinancing of the businesses.
In granting the Renin companies immediate relief under the CCAA, the court also approved the appointment of FTI Consulting Canada Inc. as monitor of the proceedings.
The Court has granted an extension of the stay of proceedings up to March 31, 2012.

The 2,200-strong workforce is planning to ring in sick to get round employment laws that would prevent them legally joining a Europe-wide day of inaction.
So when German, Belgian and Spanish employees go on strike, Britons will catch colds, suffer stomach bugs and wake up with splitting headaches.
An organiser of the protest said: "Employment laws leave us with no alternative. General Motors did not consult us before they decided to shut the plant."
General Motors is to shut Luton with the loss of 2,200 jobs in 15 months. A similar number of jobs are due to go in Germany. The unions accuse the company of breaking past commitments to invest in Luton and failing properly to consult the corporation's European works council. A strike ballot is to start in Britain next Friday but will take two weeks, and a further seven days' notice is required before industrial action can start.
The idea of "sickies" as a form of industrial protest was pioneered by British Airways staff in a dispute during the mid-1990s. Union leaders, if pressed, would be forced to disown the action to protect their funds from court sequestration if they were proved to have backed it.
A march and rally are planned today in Luton town centre. Sir Ken Jackson, head of the AEEU engineering union, said: "Vauxhall cannot be allowed to close a profitable plant and dump thousands of loyal workers on the dole."
The Manufacturing, Science and Finance union calculates that Vauxhall has made about £100,000 profit per employee over the past decade.
A spokesman for Vauxhall said: "We are not speculating about the future. We look forward to a full week's production next week."

The United States will probably soon remove North Korea from its list of states sponsoring terrorism, visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said Friday.
Yang made the remark during a meeting with Social Democratic Party President Mizuho Fukushima, according to an SDP official who attended the meeting.
China chairs the six-nation talks on denuclearizing North Korea and wields some influence over Pyongyang.
Tokyo has strongly urged Washington not to delist North Korea until the hermit state convincingly resolves the issue over its past abductions of Japanese nationals, as this remains a highly emotive matter for Japan.
Yang also told Fukushima he hopes other countries will move forward "in the same direction" as the U.S.
Later the same day, Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said he had not heard anything about the North's delisting from the Chinese side, adding the U.S. has promised to consult with Japan over such a move.
"There is no (consultation) from the U.S. now," he told a regular news conference.
Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda said that when he met with U.S. Ambassador to Japan Thomas Schieffer later in the day, the two did not discuss the issue in question.
Instead, Fukuda said, the ambassador briefed him on recent progress over negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington on the North's nuclear weapons program.
Yang paid courtesy calls Friday on different party leaders and also met Machimura and Fukuda. Machimura said he explained to Yang the strong reaction by the Japanese public to the recent food-poisoning cases caused by imported "gyoza" dumplings from China, urging Chinese leaders to give more consideration to the impact of the incident on relations.

Scarlet Tanager / Photo by Vincent Lucas (a.k.a. leppyone)
Occasionally I see questions about why bird banding is useful (or even assertions that banding is outdated). Banding can serve a variety of purposes, from identifying the birds present at a location to tracking individual birds to studying avian diets or environmental toxins. Here is one example of how even the most basic measurements can be useful, if they are done consistently over a long period. A station in western Pennsylvania has been banding birds since 1961 and taking measurements of the birds' weight and wing chord. ("Wing chord" is the distance from a bird's wrist to the tip of the primaries.) Over the period from 1961 to 2007, the birds' measurements steadily decreased.
They examined the records of 486,000 individual birds that had been caught and measured at the ringing station from 1961 to 2007.According to a biological principle known as Bergman's Rule, individuals that live further north will be slightly larger than individuals within the same species that live further south. The reasons for the link between climate and size are unclear, but the link is well attested. Thus if the climate is warming, one would expect birds to become gradually smaller. That appears to be what is happening in this case. The link to warming is strengthened by the fact that species that spend part of the year in the tropics have shrunk faster than resident species.
These birds belonged to 102 species, arriving over different seasons. Each was weighed. It also had the length of its wings measured, recorded as wing chord length, or the distance between the bird's wrist to the tip of the longest primary feather.
Their sample included local resident bird species, overwintering species, and even long distance migrants arriving from the Neotropics.
What they found was striking.
Of 83 species caught during spring migration, 60 have become smaller over the 46 year study period, weighing less and having shorter wings.
Of the 75 species migrating in autumn, 66 have become smaller.
In summer, 51 of 65 breeding species have similarly reduced in size, as have 20 out of 26 wintering species.
The differences in size are not big.
"On average, the decline in mass of spring migrants over the 46 year study was just 1.3%," says Dr Buskirk.
"For a 10g warbler that's a loss of just 130mg."
But some species are losing more weight.
For example, the rose-breasted grosbeak has declined in mass by about 4%, while the Kentucky warbler has dropped 3.3% in weight and the scarlet tanager 2.3%.
Whether this will affect the birds species' long-term viability remains to be seen. So far, there does not seem to be a link between smaller physical size and population declines. Many of the species that have decreased in physical size are doing quite well otherwise. Those populations threatened by climate change appear to be struggling with other climate-related problems, such as droughts or the timing of migration. Still, the trend is worth monitoring, for what it tells us about the changing climate and the bird populations.

Deshaun Thomas agreed to a contract to play for a team in Paris, France.
Thomas was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the 58th overall pick in the June draft.
Thomas made the decision to play overseas, rather than shoot for the Spurs' final roster spot, for financial reasons.
"In this business, you have to think about family (Thomas has a 17-month-old son)," he said. "I still could have gone to (training camp) and tried to make the roster, but with my son and a family to provide for, I had to look at that. And developing a year ain't going to hurt.
"It was kind of tough, because I wanted to make the roster. But if training camp didn't go well, I'd be in the (NBA Development) League, and that (pays) like a part-time job."

Tombotia has worked for Eden Projects in Kalamboro from its inception.
Before Eden Projects, Tombotia and her family lived off the land farming rice. Sadly, her husband died many years ago, leaving Tombotia to find ways to make the family farm continue to produce a subsistence living. Out of survival necessities, each of Tombotia's three daughters was required to take part in farming their rice fields. As a family, they were barely able to make ends meet and then her daughters married off one by one. At age 65, and without the help of her daughters, the rigors of farming became too great for Tombotia. The rice fields fell fallow, and she faced what seemed to be a short and destitute future. But, unbeknownst to her, help was on the way! When her future appeared to be hopeless, Tombotia was hired by Eden Projects to plant mangrove propagules. Today, due to the steady cash income provided through Eden Projects, this industrious and innovative widow is able to provide for herself and for a few others by offering seasonal employment to rice field cultivation assistants. Tombotia is grateful for the gift of employment, which meets her basic needs and enables her to reinvigorate her family's rice fields.

The Cannon Strike (キャノンストライク Kyanon Sutoraiku?) is one of Cammy's, Juni's and Decapre's special attacks, being used primarily by Cammy, and then used by Juni in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and by Decapre in Ultra Street Fighter IV.
|All appearances
|+ (forward jump only)
DescriptionEditExecuted by pressing a quarter-circle backward motion and kick during a forward jump, Cammy/Juni/Decapre performs a stylish focused turning motion into a diagonal down-forward one-legged driving kick with deadly force. There is negligible difference between Cannon Strikes using different kick buttons. Prior to the Street Fighter IV series, the move could only be used at the apex of a forward jump.
In the crossover games, the attack could knock down on even on grounded hit and possessed a "Psycho Power" effect on Cammy's leg. It also made Cammy dive down at a much faster speed, though she will not dive fully all the way towards the ground as the move may stop mid-way depending on how high she's jumped. This trait carries over to Street Fighter IV, where Cammy also dives down slower than before compared to previous games.
The EX Special version introduced in the Street Fighter IV games has Cammy use both legs for the kick in the style of a drilling dive, and can be executed during any kind of jump, not just a forward one.
As of Ultra Street Fighter IV, in the style of the aforementioned crossover games, Cammy can now perform a Cannon Strike from her Hooligan Combination as well.
Also in Ultra Street Fighter IV, Decapre can now perform a Cannon Strike from her Scramble as well.
In Omega Mode, Cammy gets a version of Cannon Strike, called Target Strike, and Decapre gains the ability to make a Cannon Strike out of Scramble.
This move is a solid crossup tool, and good choice for closing in through the air or to quickly punish a whiffed attack especially on counter hit. However, if performed too high, the move may hit too early before the user recovers, making it less effective and very easy to punish. This is quite true for the Street Fighter IV series incarnation where Cammy doesn't dive down as fast and the move does not exactly last all the way to the ground. In older games, one also has to be aware of it being blocked due to Cammy/Juni bouncing off upon a blocked-hit, which also warrants an easy punish from those with solid gap-closers.
Mainly as of Street Fighter IV's removal of a specific height restriction, this move is now most effective when performed as close to the ground as possible (with proper spacing based on the starting height). The EX version can also confuse and catch foes by surprise in this regard, and its input can even be "Tiger Knee'd" for better results (via quarter circle back-to-back-up).
- This move was originally used by Cammy in Street Fighter II V against Chun-Li's father, Dorai.

JUBA, Sudan (Reuters) - Heavily armed fighters have killed more than 200 people in raids on villages in South Sudan, where bloody tribal disputes over cattle are jeopardising peace efforts in the oil-rich region, officials said on Sunday.
The commissioner of Pibor County Akot M. Adikiu told Reuters he had seen more than 200 bodies, but had heard reports that hundreds more may have been killed in a string of attacks over the past two weeks.
The surrounding Jonglei State, where Malaysia's Petronas is searching for oil and France's Total owns a huge concession, has long been plagued by tribal violence, often sparked by disputes over livestock.
But ethnic fighting has escalated, fuelled by the huge supply of weapons left over from Sudan's two-decade north-south war that ended with a 2005 peace deal.
Africa's longest civil war also left painful divisions between ethnic communities that have frustrated efforts to bring peace to South Sudan, in the run up to national elections and a referendum on southern independence, both promised under the 2005 accord.
Scores of people have been killed at a time in one-off cattle attacks in South Sudan. But officials said the number of reported deaths in Pibor and the appearance of a coordinated campaign against a series of villages, was unusual.
"We believe about 453 people have been killed, based on the bodies and information from chiefs and members from villages," Adikiu said. "Many of the deaths are women and children."
He said at least 17 villages controlled by the Murle tribe were attacked from March 5 to 13 by armed members of the Lou Nuer tribe. The attacks were reportedly in retaliation for the theft of around 20,000 Lou Nuer cattle in January.
Adikiu said that about 6,000 people had also been displaced by the recent attacks and thousands of cattle were taken. Cattle are highly prized by southern pastoralists and represent wealth, status as well as stability in fraught times.
The head of South Sudan's U.N. Office of Humanitarian Affairs Andy Pendleton confirmed officers had received reports that a large number of people were killed in the fighting.
"The situation is rather alarming," he told Reuters. "Usually the fighting is between cattle-guarding combatants. But this time it's different. You also have people caught in the middle and they lost their lives."
U.N. officers have already made a quick visit to the area and are planning to send a full team in to assess humanitarian needs this week, he added.
Analysts have said the fighting could destabilise the south's delicate peace established by the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement.
"The south's government needs to address these internal problems urgently or risk inheriting what some might even call a failed state in 2011," a researcher for Human Rights Watch, who asked not to be named, told Reuters, referring to the date of the south's promised independence referendum.
Efforts by south Sudan's semi-autonomous government to disarm communities have been patchy and in some cases have descended into bloody battles when civilians fight back.

My friend that encouraged me to get a bread machine also told me that this was her favorite bread machine book. I ordered it with my bread machine from Overstock.com. I think my husband has more fun going through the book and asking me to make something that he would like. I like that the book has a spiral spine and spill proof pages since it spends a lot of time in the kitchen with me.Read More
I was so excited to order this book after reading all the favorable reviews. The problem is that the font is so small on the inside it is extremely difficult to read. To make matters worse, they alternate between black font and a light orange font for the next line. It is a horrible layout, way too difficult to read, and makes me a little dizzy, too. I am so disappointed in this. The cover of the book is just beautiful, easy to read. Not so on the inside. Whoever approved this for printing should be ashamed. I simply cannot use it.Read More

Hazelnut and Turkey-Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Hazelnuts add a bit of hearty crunch to this appetizer that puts a spin on that perennial cocktail party favorite -- the stuffed mushroom.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8
- Yield: Makes 24 pieces
Source: Body+Soul, November 2008
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ounces raw turkey sausage (about 2 links), removed from casing
- 24 medium white button mushrooms (about 1 pound)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped blanched hazelnuts
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat or plain dried breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add sausage and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove stems from mushrooms, trim ends, and finely chop. Add chopped stems, hazelnuts, garlic, shallot, and rosemary to sausage; season with salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
To cooled sausage mixture, add egg and breadcrumbs; stir to combine. Place mushroom caps on a large rimmed baking sheet and season cavities with salt and pepper. Stuff caps with sausage mixture, packing tightly.
Bake mushrooms until tops are browned and caps are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with additional rosemary before serving.

Today will be Brian Burres' third appearance but first start of spring for the Pirates. He got the win in relief on Feb. 27 against the Rays, pitching two scoreless innings with three strikeouts and one hit, and also pitched two scoreless innings in relief against the Phillies on Friday. The 29-year-old right-hander made 13 starts with the Pirates last year, going 4-5 with a 4.99 ERA in 20 games.
Also, it's been mentioned more than a few times that base-running has been a focal point this spring. The Pirates no longer lead the majors in the stolen base category – they have 16, tied with the Dodgers and behind the Angels with 17 and the Royals with 20. However, an interesting note is that going into today's game they've stolen 16 bases in their first 11 games. Last spring they stole 16 bases in all of spring training, a total of 29 games.
Here's are the lineups for today:
For the Pirates – Andrew McCutchen (CF), Jose Tabata (LF), Pedro Alvarez (3B), Lyle Overbay (1B), Neil Walker (2B), Garrett Jones (RF), Ronny Cedeno (SS), Ryan Doumit (C), Burres (RHP).
For the Twins – Ben Revere (LF), Tsuyoshi Nishioka (2B), Danny Valencia (DH), Matt Brown (3B), Matt Tolbert (1B), Brian Dinkelman (RF), Jason Repko (CF), Alexi Casilla (SS), Drew Butera (C).
Coming tomorrow, a four-inning starting appearance by Kevin Correia at the Yankees. It will be the first of back-to-back night games for the Pirates, who host the Orioles on Thursday.

CROWD 7669, at Skoda Stadium.
KARMICHAEL Hunt might have given the AFL its feel-good story of the year but Greater Western Sydney yesterday gave the league another hit in its bid to spread its tentacles into new frontiers.
And No. 1 draft pick Jonathon Patton has already been ruled out by coach Kevin Sheedy for the Giants' trip west next week to take on Fremantle.
In front of 7669 fans, including a decent portion supporting Adelaide, the Giants yesterday copped their second 100-points-plus hiding in as many weeks, taking their combined losing margin in the past four games to a whopping 453 points.
With percentage likely to play a huge bearing in the jockeying for positions in the eight, rival clubs are unlikely to spare the Giants any sympathy in the coming weeks.
The Giants' next home game is in a fortnight against Collingwood, which will be looking to bolster its percentage in its hunt for a top-four berth.
''I think probably there's going to be sides who will keep ruthless against them where they can,'' said Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson.
With seven matches still to come for the Giants, whose percentage plummeted to an abysmal 43 with their eighth consecutive loss, there are fears about the damage repeated thrashings can have on the psyche of the club's young list.
''I tell them not to take any notice of it,'' Sheedy said.
''The difficult part of coaching the AFL side is if you're going to be any good you're going to suffer some penalties along the way and get some smackings from other clubs.''
Sheedy defended the club's recruiting philosophy last summer in which the fledgling Giants resisted the temptation to target players from rival clubs in the prime of their careers even if it gave them more chance to be successful in their early years.
''If you look at other codes and they might want to buy top players from other clubs, we went and got experienced players that will play a year or two,'' Sheedy said.
''The easy thing is to go and get experienced players around the 26-years-of-age mark. They all retire when this team's going to peak and all of a sudden you're back in the middle of the AFL.
''We're going to bring all our young players in together.
''We're probably a six-cylinder car driving on four. We just need those other two cylinders and we'll get them as these players get maturity, fitness and strength.
''Most of the time our players go out and play against guys who are better than them. That happens sometimes in your first 50 games of your life.''
Israel Folau yesterday created a stir in the first half when he played topless for several minutes after landing a bruising tackle on Richard Douglas and having his jumper ripped off in the ensuing scuffle.
The Giants are likely to make at least two changes next week with Patton set to be rested and former Docker Rhys Palmer in doubt to face his old club after being concussed yesterday.

Last week's appeal of Rafters Food and Spirits special use permit request by Stillwater Ward 1 Councilman Menikheim has cast a light on the city's special use permit process.
City Planner Mike Pogge explained what a special use permit is, how requests are reviewed and who can appeal a permit ruling to the city council.
Most often, Pogge said special use permits go to the city Planning Commission which reviews the requests. A committee meeting is set and members discuss questions, issues and concerns related to the permit. Any conditions needed are addressed, then a report is prepared and presented to the commission.
Rafters owner Larry Cramer said last week that the Planning Commission unanimously approved his special use permit for a rooftop serving area at his business.
Pogge said if someone disagrees with the Planning Commission ruling on a special use permit, they can file an appeal after 10 days and have the permit request to the city council.
"Any individual in the Stillwater area, any resident, can appeal the decision of the planning commission," Pogge said.
Although some special use permits must go the council, the Rafters' permit did not need council action because it was simply a restaurant expansion.
Special use permit requests needing council action are sent with a Planning Commission recommendation. The council then approves or denies the requested permit.
"If the council wanted to review all of the special use permits they could. They don't here, but in other places like Liberty, special use permits must go before council." Pogge said.
The council has final say about Rafters' special use permit at their Aug. 21 council meeting. Cramer will learn the fate of his requested permit at that meeting.
Whether the permit is approved or denied, the option exists to appeal the decision to district court, According to Pogge.

Male', 14 July 2015 ,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Her Excellency Ms. Dunya Maumoon has welcomed the deal reached between The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States, United Kingdom, China, France, Germany and Russia with regard to Iran's nuclear programme.
The pact is the culmination of many years of negotiations and marks an important step towards achieving nuclear disarmament and global peace. This historic accord redesigns Iran's nuclear programme to only enrich small amounts of uranium for civilian use and creates an inspection regime to ensure Iran's compliance. The negotiations resulted in agreement from the United States and European allies to drop their economic sanctions against Iran, opening up Iran's access to global markets for oil sales and other areas of economic exchange.
Hailing the peace accord, Foreign Minister Dunya stated: "Today's agreement is a major contribution towards better diplomatic relations and peace in the region. The Maldives has always advocated for countries to stand together, side by side and choose to close this dark chapter of human history through the eventual prohibition and comprehensive destruction of all nuclear weapons. The Maldives continues to call for nuclear disarmament and looks forward to all countries involved approving this agreement".

Sons Of Anarchy leading lady Katey Sagal is returning to her comedy roots with a guest stint on Fox's musical dramedy Glee as the never-before-seen mom of Artie (Kevin McHale). "So thrilled to announce my friend Katey Sagal is playing Artie's mom on Glee!" Glee co-creator/executive producer Ryan Murphy wrote on Twitter, announcing the casting. "There is nothing this woman can't do!" Sagal also is attached to a comedy project at FX written by her husband, Sons Of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter.
Katey Sagal To Play Artie's Mom On 'Glee'
6 Comments
Awesome news… Hopefully, the show will focus more on the Lima side, because it's way better than the sad awful NYC drama.
I've heard Katey Sagal sing and she's really good. Excellent casting.
Sagal is a great performer and I'd watch her on anything….except Glee.
Great choice for a great show. Happy to see Artie's story! Love this show!
Let's not forget that Sagal is also the female lead in Comedy Central's "Futurama".
Katey will nail this as she does all her performances. She is a truly amazing talent. Here signing voice (and her speakign voice) will add such depth to Glee. I look forward to anything with Katey in the cast and she will be a great addition to Glee. God Bless.

What's being said
What will "embolden" U.S. to target more Wall Street white collar frauds are "more" prosecutions of white collar frauds. For nearly a decade, those on Wall Street were considered Too Big to Jail. Now, those who were previously protected - including wayward attorneys - are now being prosecuted (as they should be) for their bad faith acts; which are destroying our country. Especially destroying the integrity for which we "use" to stand. http://www.startribune.com/business/158560485.html

Catalina, the grand-daughter of Spanish refugees is a disciplined student with the School of the Paris Opera Ballet. Little gets inthe way of her career until the visit of an otherworldly being, who leaves her a mysterious pair of golden earrings.
Given a quest, Catalina realises she must explore her own Spanish heritage and makes the connection between the visitor and 'La Rusa', a young Andalusian flamenco star.
La Rusa died in exile in Paris in 1952, her death ruled as suicide. But as Catalina begins to discover, there were those in the Spanish émigré community, amongst them her grandmother, who had good reason for wanting La Rusa dead.

"Needed to get halfway through to begin enjoying it"
I kept with this book, even though the first half bored me. I normally love Caroline Lee as a narrator, but she kept falling out of the accent (for example, sometimes rolling her Rs, sometimes not, in the same sentence). That, along with too much emphasis on describing ladies' dresses and such, made the book seem shallow for quite some time. Halfway through, the plot began to thicken and I began to feel a bit more empathy for the characters. A good listen, if you can make it to that point.
"Fabulous story"
I loved this story and was so sorry when it finished. Belinda Alexandra is a fabulous story teller and this is yet another of wonderful story. This time set in Spain and Paris which is quite different to her previous novels. I did not know much about the Spanish civil war or Spanish culture and I found this fascinating. It was well researched. The characters are varied and complex. I am hoping that there will be many more novels written by this author.
Highly recommended.
"painfully poor Spanish pronunciation"
I wish I had read instead of listening. The painfully bad Spanish pronunciation, especially of the names of some primary characters, was a constant irritant to the listening experience.
Rich and interesting story that unfolds beautifully.
Not if she had to pronounce Spanish words!
I so enjoy Audible...helps me get my to-do list accomplished.
"Too much political storyline!"
As a woman of Spanish decent, I was so excited to be reading a story I thought would go more into the details of Spanish life both present and past; however, their was so much one dimensional political story telling that I was left blah and somewhat disheartened. several times I had decided not to finish the book, but the basic story was good and intriguing. I have loved the other books I have read maybe because the unrest of the characters were not so close to home. Maybe because my father's account of Franco was different. oh well I still look forward to another one of Belinda's books.
Yes, I would because it is a good story about a time and place in history few of my friends know little about. I loved how we get carried into te history of the Spanish civil war in all its grusomeness.
The author's formidable knowledge of history, and her ability to tell it in an interesting way. I also loved her way of describing the family relations, and I loved how all the little mysteries all comes together in the end.
I like that she manages to keep the story interesting!
La Rusa! She is an interesting woman with an interesting history, and maybe she could have finished off the meal with a little dance?
"Distracting narration of beautiful tale"
More about the narration. Many of the passages in the book shift between the three main characters. Bolinda Audio has many talented female narrators (Caroline Lee, Kate Hood, Deirdre Rubenstein, and others), so it would have been a better listening experience having the points of view shift between multiple narrators.
Caroline Lee is normally a good narrator, but her accents and dialogue in this book are not up to par. As both a French- and Spanish-speaker, I am a stickler about pronunciation. This book has so much potential, but a better narration would have gone a long way.
Definitely... a historical drama, with the riots and the dancing... it would make an amazing movie.
I will read this one in print, and listen to Caroline Lee's other performances with greater caution.
Katrina L. Deisenroth
"I just wanted it to end."
I spent most if this book just wanting it to end. I've enjoyed her other books, but this one just wasn't interesting to me.
"Sad tragedy and yet beautiful story"
Life Love Dance
At the end, when Paloma meets La Russa and they dance together...their strength and love
I did not really enjoy it, It took me a long time to get use to her voice, found it strained, <br/>but in the end she "pulled it off"
La Russa....I would love to watch her dance...she is the most powerful in the story!
I found the beginning slow and hard to get into, confusing between the different characters and their places in the story, Got better abot third way through the book......
"Insight into the Spanish Civil War"
I did not read the print version, but I think it would have been less distracting than the audio version for American English-, French- and European Spanish-speaking audiobook listeners.
There were several intriguing characters, but it was fulfilling to experience the story through the eyes of Catalina, the granddaughter. She began the story as an insulated, insecure 18-year-old and grew into a more self-aware and worldly young woman, without sacrificing her innate gentleness of spirit.
I usually think of Caroline Lee as an excellent narrator, but I don't think that she was the right choice for this book. Her Spanish and French pronunciations were often awkward. This factor, combined with her Australian English narration accent created discord to my American English ears. I'm sure her Aussie accent would not have been distracting to Australian listeners--that part is just a matter of perspective.
"Enthralling and heartwrenching"
Fantastic characters who share their emotion and growth with you. You are frustrated when they are angry, you are sad when they are remorseful. I wanted to stay in the present at first in the world of competitive ballet in Paris in the 70s, but as the story line develops and the mysteries draw you in, I wanted to stay in the Spanish civil war story. I had been wary of this since there weren't a lot of reviews although this is not a brand new audiobook. However, this gamble payed off. I could hardly stop listening. Even plugging in with my eyes closed for a few more minutes at night before falling asleep. Great ties between family generations portraying the love and both the misunderstanding and understandings across generations.
"Highly recommend!"
Yes but only after some time has elapsed and I've forgotten some of the finer details.
La Rusa, I liked her strength and loyalty and found the chapters revolving round her some of my favourite parts of the book.
There's too many to pick a favourite and don't want to give anything away to spoil it for others.
Again there were quite a few, I particularly liked how some of the characters dealt with some really awful experiences but managed to stay hopeful and brave.
This is my second Belinda Alexander book, the first book being 'Tuscan Rose' which I found a very enjoyable read (unfortunately this is no longer available onAudible, which is a shame). I was not disappointed with this book either, I found it on level with the first and they both now rank as two of my favourite audio books, and I have listened to many. This book is set in two periods of time, Barcelona in the earlier part of the 20th century, telling a story which spanned over many years, and Paris in the 1970's. It was both sad and uplifting at times but also kept me hooked all the way through, I was always looking forward to my next listen to see how the story was going to unfold.
"The cost to families of Spanish civil war"
One of several novels stimulated by Spain's apology in 2007, the survival of traditional Spanish music and dance being part of gypsy culture which was targeted by Franco. Linked to tradional ballet in Paris. Real characters stunning story with ghostly associations
"Loved this book"
Great story, narrated fabulously. Had me , stomping my feet and clicking my castanets and swishing my skirts. First listen from this author, thoroughly enjoyed, will look for another.

Shilpa Shetty couldn't have been more generous and loving. When her fan Mahi Hussain from meerut was given the option to live in Shilpa's shoes for a day, the girl was more than happy, but little did she know about the surprise Shilpa had for her in store.
Shilpa welcomed the 18-year-old to her house here, and chatted with her in her lounge as part of UTV Stars' show "Live My Life 2".
Maahi had a huse collection of Shilpa's photos and she was ecstatic the meet the actress. Drinking hot water, to working out in the gym, Maahi was doing everything Shipa does on a regular day to day basis.
She even met Shilpa's close friends, designer Nandita Mahtani and business associate, Kiran Bawa.
Both Nandita and Kiran were more than happy to meet the girl, and they shared insights about Shilpa. Nandita even gifted the girl a designer dress in Shilpa's favourite pattern and Kiran ensured that she got a hair spa treatment and styled her hair exactly like Shilpa.
However, the highlight of Maahi's day was a meeting with Shilpa's husband, businessman Raj Kundra. He sent her to their house, where Shilpa surprised her.
The show featuring Shilpa and her fan will go on air Sunday.

big deal . she bought some poor girl a dress?? why didnt she give her some money so she can pay to educate herself. no one knew who she was, she had to go on big brother and show the british how a thick big nose actress is better than them. she can prance around naked showing off. who cares??? that is why India is a joke full of stinky poor beggers paying their last penny to watch crappy films turning actors into royalty. she has a second hand husband who she thiefed from someone else.
but shilpa actually is useless actress ….. she got more popularity after big brother and then the ppl forgot her
that just your opinion!
i'll never forget her!
she's my favorite actress!

About 35 firefighters tackled the blaze at 1300 BST on Tuesday at Thomas Muir Metals in Den Road in Kirkcaldy. The fire was extinguished at 2100 BST.
It is unclear how the fire broke out in the waste materials, which included scrap metal and tyres.
Fife Fire and Rescue said they had received dozens of calls.
A spokeswoman for Fife Fire and Rescue said firefighters assisted by a mechanical grab used three main jets to control and extinguish the fire.
"By 1800 BST about four appliances were tackling the blaze and the fire was extinguished at 2100 BST," she said.

Catching up after the long weekend? Here are the stories that had TODAY Moms talking recently.
Is it a boy or a girl? We'll never tell. Gender-neutral parenting is being taken to the extreme by one Canadian couple who refuses to divulge the sex of their newborn baby. They claim they want to raise four-month-old baby Storm "genderless" because "gender expectations constrict and damage children." Guess we'll all just have to wait until little Storm decides to tell us him (or her) self...
So, Mom, what grade did you get in Freshman English this year? How was your class participation? When kids are struggling in school, who's to blame? States are increasingly pointing the finger at parents and legislating for more parental accountability. Alaska and California have recently passed legislation which allows parents to be fined or brought up on charges if their kids are chronically truant. Meanwhile, Florida is considering legislation that would allow schools to give parents report cards based on their involvement in their children's education. Has educational accountability merely become a game of hot potato between schools and parents?
Here's one for the head-shaking file. A mother who apparently wanted to be the "supportive type" actually encouraged her 16-year-old daughter during a fight with a classmate. Mommy Dearest, who became a YouTube sensation after videos of the fight hit the internet, was originally charged with child abuse, which was later downgraded to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. That mom was recently sentenced to both a full day of parenting classes and 75 hours of community service, which has many saying she got off lightly.
If a kid's a brat, who's to blame? Are they naughty by nature or are they acting up because their parents just don't understand (how to discipline them effectively)? While some experts fall squarely in the "it's all the parents' doing" camp, others see it as more of a nurture/nature mix. A TODAY Moms survey revealed that 57 percent of respondents feel a child's bad behavior derives from a combination of both the child and the parent, but that a "good parent" would be able to curb even the most "spirited" child. 28 percent felt that the blame belonged solely to the parents, while 15 percent voted to let parents off the hook entirely for the actions of strong-willed kids.
Are women getting too posh to push? A recent survey of British women who'd had elective C-sections found that upper-class women were more likely to have the procedure than lower-income women. However, given the recovery period involved in C-sections, some argue that these aren't being performed merely for the sake of convenience and believe more research needs to be done to find out not just who is getting C-sections but why they are as well.

Promoting exclusive breastfeeding in Benin: a success story
According to the 2006 Benin Demograhic Health Survey, more than 9 out of 10 children are breastfed. But the rate of exclusive breastfeeding is still rather low. Only 2 out of 5 children under 6 months are exclusively breastfed.
Support for mother does work
It is a fact that family environment heavily affects exclusive breastfeeding in Benin. So, these women groups work to spread a better understanding of the necessity for an exclusive breasfeeding. Henriette Akouta, leader of one of the supporting groups explained that ancestral beliefs have so much rooted themselves in the people's mind that they think "decoctions led to more robust and livelier new born". "They also intuitively believe that yellow milk – milk with colostrums- is not a good one since milk is always white" said Ms Akouta. In addition, they think that milk alone cannot satisfy the babies hunger and thirst. This is why they feed under 6 month babies on water and food to cover up what they believe is its nutritional needs.
Involving men in social change
Thus, women were called in to mobilize their peers on the need to exclusively breastfeed under 6 month babies. They then committed themselves to smoothly ridding the community of retarding beliefs. To do this, they receive training with the financial support of UNICEF and are sent to the ground. Then they organize educative talks with small groups of 5 pregnant women, recruited after antenatal clinic. It is an opportunity to establish a participative dialog with those future mothers on the advantages of exclusive breastfeeding.
The community supports its mothers for the benefit of all
Two years later, results are humble but encouraging with a 14 per cent increase in the rate of exclusive breastfeeding. This has been possible because of the progressive change in perception and beliefs. As Henriette Akouta put it "children exclusively breastfed are stronger and more resistant to diseases"

A new unfinished 'You Don't Mess with the Zohan' trailer has been leaked out and can be seen online.
Apparently, another trailer of Adam Sandler's upcoming comedy "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" has leaked out on the interwebs. JoBlo.com has posted the more than two minutes video footage on their site. On the article accompanying the trailer, JoBlo explained that the new trailer might be the almost-finish version of the supposed new trailer.
The trailer begins with a shot over an Israeli city and quickly changes to a glimpse showing Sandler's character preparing his gun before going on with a shot of a military camp. The new version of the film's trailer shows a completely different take of the film. Unlike the first one which explained how Zohan gets into New York City, it focuses more on the incredible hair-styling techniques possessed by Zohan.
To be opened in theaters on June 6, "Zohan" follows the story of a Mossad agent who fake his death to become a hairstylist. Helmed by Dennis Dugan, the Judd Apatow co-written film also features Emmanuelle Chriqui, John Turturro and Rob Schneider among others as the stars. The new trailer can be seen below.

YORK'S council leader has backed Government plans which would smooth the path of major developments by cutting the time and opportunity for legal challenges.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said disputes over large-scale projects will be fast-tracked through a new planning court, with specialist judges working to fixed time limits.
York has seen a number of prolonged attempts to block two of its biggest schemes in recent years, the 655-home Germany Beck development and the Derwenthorpe project.
James Alexander, leader of City of York Council, said: "Due process should be followed and people should have the right to appeal, but legal challenges one after the other must end."
"I would like to see the debate move from some people being against the development of homes at any cost to working in partnership with councillors and developers to ensure new homes meet the needs of local communities."

Steering a Course for Southern's Nevada's Future: Washington, D.C. Day 3
Thursday was our final day in Washington, D.C., full of robust policy discussions on issues important to our member businesses and the future of Southern Nevada. We had the opportunity to meet with experts from two top think tanks in Washington: The Brookings Institution and The Tax Foundation.
During a breakfast meeting at Brookings, Mark Muro and Robert Lang, shared information on how Las Vegas compares to its peer cities in the Intermountain West, primarily Phoenix, Denver and Salt Lake City, in areas such as transit and medicine. Our group had a lively discussion on potential next steps our city can take to expand its economic future.
Next stop was The Tax Foundation, which since 1937 has been doing research and analysis of tax issues at all levels of government. Joseph Henchman, vice president of Legal & State Projects, shared his perspective on tax policy around the United States. The Foundation's principles of sound tax policy include: simplicity, transparency, neutrality and stability. In addition, the best tax systems are generally broad-based with low rates. For more information on their research and analysis of tax issues, you can go to www.taxfoundation.org.
In the afternoon, we met with Eric Seleznow, Deputy Assistant Secretary and Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training Administration at the Department of Labor. We discussed several aspects of job training. As Nevada still has the highest unemployment rates in the country, finding resources to help out of work Nevadans have the right skills to obtain good jobs is vital.
The Obama Administration has been awarding significant grants to community colleges across the country in order to help workers get the training they need, and Mr. Seleznow recommended Southern Nevada's community college, College of Southern Nevada, work with the business community to apply for one of these grants. In Denver, for example, a $25 million grant was awarded to several of its community colleges last week. He emphasized that community colleges and workforce boards need to be tied to the business community so that they are teaching the skills and degrees that employers need today and tomorrow.
As we conclude this trip, the conversations in Washington reinforce the fact it is essential that we look beyond our own borders for solutions. Whether collaborating with other states to address regional needs, looking at best practices in other cities and states or going to Washington, D.C. regularly to address issues on a federal level, the Metro Chamber is advocating, forming partnership and seeking the necessary resources to build a strong future for Southern Nevada.

Ms Mayer, chief executive of the US web search company, revealed the move in a leaked memo, pouring cold water on reports that Yahoo! would reinvest the money in products or target start-ups.
"Today we reached a very important milestone in our relationship with Alibaba - we closed a transaction selling some of our Alibaba Group shares for $7.6bn," Ms Mayer wrote, according to Business Insider. "After taxes and fees, we have received approximately $4.3bn.
"We have reviewed our strategy for the proceeds with the board of directors and have agreed that we will be returning approximately $3.65bn to shareholders. This amount includes a 'down payment' of $646m that we made over the past few months in the form of stock buybacks since the transaction was announced, as well as an additional $3bn from today's proceeds."
Ms Mayer went on to hail the "terrific" outcome for Yahoo! as it "generates liquidity to create substantial value for our shareholders, while retaining a meaningful amount in the company to invest in our future".
However, the move is a huge about-turn for the 37 year-old, who originally blocked the plan upon taking the top job in July - two months after the deal was announced by Yahoo!'s board.
In May Yahoo! revealed it was selling half its 40pc stake in Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba for $7.1bn (£4.5bn).
The sale of the stake, which Yahoo first purchased for $1bn in 2005, paves the way for Alibaba to launch a flotation within the next 12 months.
