"I'm not saying that's what I want to do right now. A lot depends on what happens between Cain and Junior dos Santos. [Moving to Light Heavyweight] is a potential plan B if Cain becomes champion again, which I think he will. Imagine that: Me and Jones standing across the cage from one another. That would be crazy because you know I'm putting him on his back."
After winning the Strikeforce HW Grand Prix with his victory over Josh Barnett, Daniel Cormier is guaranteed a slot on the UFC's heavyweight roster.
However, his teammate, Cain Velasquez, may disrupt these plans and force the Olympian to pack down to the weight class below to try his hands at light-heavyweight.
Can Cormier make an impact amongst the UFC's elite 205'ers?

Rep. Brian Ellis was happy to welcome a group of visitors from Butler County Community College to the State House in April.
Rep. Brian Ellis attended the House Majority Policy Commitee's hearing on Feb. 13, in Donora, Washington County, to hear testimony about the state's drug epidemic and how it is impacting our communities. In 2015 in Pennsylvania, there were 3,505 overdose deaths. The number of overdose deaths exceeds those caused by car accidents and guns combined. Thus, the greatest public health threat in Pennsylvania is drug addiction and related overdose deaths. Testifiers offered suggestions on legislative actions that could be taken to better tackle the epidemic. Several testifiers discussed how data collection on drug use, blight and economic development could be used to address the growing crisis.

ebook reader app that sorts by series (calibre)
I have been attempting to use Stanza with my iPad 3 but I figured it was time to move on. Is there an ebook reader that sorts by series as provided by calibre or tags at the very least? Sorting by author seems too limited.
All I want is the ability to download from calibre content server, some font options, brightness, and night/black background reading. Basic margin options would be nice as well as a dictionary but they are not necessary for me.
I have read multiple threads in this forum and it seems that megareader, shubook, and i2reader might be the most popular ones. Can these sort by series?
I find it very ironic that a free ebook app such as Stanza had so much more features and was overall a better app than all the pay ones out there...

APPRENTICE runner up Luisa Zissman has been accused of rigging a TV award in which she beat Helen Flanagan to a gong.
The 26-year-old lads' mag favourite, who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, is alleged to have hired in computer experts at a marketing firm called seo77 to rig an online vote which gained her more votes than actress Helen, aged 23 — winning her a National Reality TV Award.
Luisa has denied being involved with any underhand dealings and said someone was "making money out of me with false allegations."
Helen is yet to comment on the matter.

the dried fruit rings refuse to remain forgotten in a box in your parents' home.
they decided to write their own story since you were too busy dancing around france for two years.
first they decide to get published. all by themselves. no advertising, no promoting – somehow they caught the eye of people who wanted to put them in a book. this you excitedly agreed too since it was a call for photos and not the work themselves. easy enough to co-ordinate from abroad.
so while you were busy traveling around europe, they were busy traveling around french bookstores. they even wandered over to amazon. design culinaire is the name, stéphane bureaux and cécile cau are the authors.
but then you finally meet the book in november 2010 at the book release party in paris. you lived an hour away, how could you say no?
it will be nearly a year later before you get to sit down and really flip through the book since your copy was shipped to texas.
but those rings are never satisfied. they wanted to be on american tv. unfortunately since they had also faded the people who sought them out ended up rejecting them.
but it's okay. because those rings don't give up.
they then decided they wanted to be published in germany. in a calendar.
how could you refuse such a request? EAT design with food is the name, and EIGA Design is the author.
then the rings got clever.
they caught you at a moment in texas where you could not pull the "i am living in france and currently cannot do any metalwork, sorry!" excuse each time someone sent you an email.
because an email came.
an email from the museum of arts and design in new york city.
those rings want to be on display.
back in 2009 you had a feeling. a feeling that one day you'd have to step back into the field of metalwork without the studio that you were spoiled with at ut austin. so in addition to preparing your final projects that last semester at ut, you also used expensive equipment for potential future projects that make your life easier that you knew you wouldn't have access to in 2011.
MAD museum doesn't want the wilted and faded rings.
so a few days ago, fresh pears and orangers were sliced and dried.
a fire hazard was set up in your parents' backyard.
you know your metals professor would lose it if she saw all the unsafe things you did.
you overheated and melted a few things since the torch you are using now is cumbersome. that is the difference between $15 and $300.
but with enough practice, cumbersome will do the job. and that is all that matters.
the rings got what they wanted. they got remade.
their original vibrant colors that they wanted, they got.
even if the exhibition for the MAD museum falls through (because things can happen, such as: the rings fall apart, the museum changes their mind, the show is cancelled, etc, etc) you don't care because you proved to yourself that you are indeed capable of stepping back into the metals field without depending on the studio at ut austin.
that was your fear since graduation. the fear of not being able to do what you used to do because you no longer have the same tools. but now you know that you in 2011 is just as capable as you in 2009 without access to the things you had before.
just for kicks, you played around with some new forms. but not too long since you really do need to be concentrating on mali.
after mali – the you in 2014 – will once again step back into metals.
let's see where these rings decide to go, since they've obviously decided to choose their own adventures that are separate from yours.

The Cove Herald
FEMA and the FCC conducted a nationwide Emergency Alert System test Wednesday afternoon.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Communications Commission conducted the test from Washington, D.C., at 1 p.m. Wednesday. It lasted approximately 30 seconds and aired on all radio, local television, cable and satellite systems simultaneously, according to a news release.
The test was a success, and radio and television ads warning people of the test in advance succeeded in stemming confused or panicked local 911 calls.
"I would say it flowed smoothly," said Sgt. Kevin Keller with the Copperas Cove Police Department.
No influx of calls was reported during or after Wednesday's test.
"Everybody apparently got the message and it worked," said Fire Chief Mike Baker, emergency management coordinator for the city.
Baker said the city takes part in First Call, a localized "reverse 911 system" that notifies people in case of local emergency.
"It's for emergencies, such as an evacuation notice, shelter order or a declaration. It's not used to tell people 'Hey, it's gonna rain today,'" said Baker.
Like the national emergency alert system, First Call is tested periodically.
The First Call system is sponsored by the Central Texas Council of Governments. There are no fees for the service, but standard text messaging rates apply for text alerts.
Residents of Bell, Coryell, Hamilton, Lampasas, Milam, Mills and San Saba counties can sign up for CTCOG's First Call system with their cellphone or home phones by calling (866) 484-3264 for voice registration or going to http://alertregistration.com/CTCOG.

I have tried madwifi 0.9.3 and various other branches
And the one that seems to work best (on both brcm-2.6 and ixp4xx)
is madwifi-hal-0.9.30.10
0.9.3 I get wierd connection spikes (for 4 seconds every so often which is annoying) and it segfaults completely with xscale.
105-109 are not needed anymore.
110-111 maybe should be resynced from madwifi-refcount branch (there is a lot of fuzz and I don't know enough about it to know whether it is correct or not) - does apply though and compile.
comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by jhansen@…
I think we should just start with the base madwifi 0.9.3 release and pull in some patches as we see fit (new HAL, refcount, etc.). As far as I can tell, 0.9.3 works at least as well as 0.9.2 so far.
Changed 10 years ago by jhansen@…
Use Madwifi 0.9.3
Changed 10 years ago by jhansen@…
Patch up to latest refcount changes (fixes several crashes)
Changed 10 years ago by jhansen@…
refcount patch against 0.9.3, use this instead (first patch was against current trunk)
Changed 10 years ago by ffrrrr at gmail
changes to 200-no_debug.patch for 0.9.3
comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by ffrrrr at gmail
I think 112-fixed_ibss_bssid.patch is no longer needed either.
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by jhansen@…
That is correct. 112-fixed_ibss_bssid.patch can be removed. This set of patches gives me less crashes than I had before (but still does crash with multiple BSSID and AP/STA WDS bridging configurations). Of course station and AP modes are completely stable.

Does MAC changing via 'iwconfig ath0 hw ether XX:...:XX' and channel noise reporting working correctly with this new 0.9.3?

Without a Doubt
October 23, 2004
By Bridget Gibson
The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to
buy what they are selling their ideas, their version of history,
their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember
this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need
them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On
a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. Arundhati Roy
The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to
buy what they are selling their ideas, their version of history,
their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember
this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need
them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On
a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. Arundhati Roy
is the most precious gift we are given. Without life, we have no
opportunities to love, to learn, to explore, to share, to give,
to bring new life into this wondrous world, to begin and be and
end all of creation and it is within us all.
Every decision we make has ripples of effects upon everyone and
everything that we touch. When we choose to spend money, it makes
ripples within or without our communities. Every product we use
has to be made or bought or sold somewhere.
I question myself and my decisions all the time. I wonder if I
am leaving the world in better shape than I found it. I wonder if
I am putting another American citizen out of work and a family without
food or housing if I buy something that is not made in this country.
I try to find alternative products whenever possible sometimes
it is not possible. There are so many things that we just dont
make and sell here in America anymore.
Things that I cannot find become more numerous every year; shoes,
clothes, televisions, radios, toys. Even simple things, like tarps
to cover wood from the rain come from someplace else.. What I can
find are unemployed American workers. The latest count is eight
While we have been distracted by cheap and easy, we have forgotten
what it means to be free.
Free. What a bad word this has become. We know better. There is
nothing in this world that is free. Everything has a price and a
cost. We are being played like cheap fiddles by the nameless faceless
The worst part of this is that we all long to be free. But at the
same time, we truly dont understand what free would really feel
like. Would it be free to never worry about how much money was
in our accounts? Would it be free to never have to work for someone
else? Would it be free to roam without worry of borders or boundaries?
Because we have come to associate free with cheap, our freedoms
are only a shiny bauble to be given away for some phantom baseless
security coded in yellow, orange and red. To watch our liberties
being willingly traded away for shiny baubles makes me angry.
We have been taught that America is the land of the free and the
home of the brave. What is this bravery? Is it facing our personal
demons without turning away? Is it answering to no one? Is it looking
death in the face and laughing? Is it donning a uniform and following
orders? The definitions are endless, but we try to live up to the
word, whoever we are.
Some wield freedom like a sword. They tell us that shadowy others
hate us for our freedoms, while under guise and guile they begin
removing them. Recently, an acquaintance told me that she had no
problem trading freedom and rights for security. By turning freedom
into a cheap and tawdry bauble, it becomes just something else to
throw away. When so many feel that freedom is cheap and easily surrendered,
we all become enslaved. Slaves to the rulers, whoever they may be.
Right now we still have an opportunity. We still can choose to
understand freedom and bravery. This may be our last chance to cast
our votes to claim our freedoms. This is our one voice for one person,
piece of paper, or computerized button-pushing moment. If there
is not a huge cry for true freedom and not for shiny baubles, then
the dominating autocratic unilateral rulership will remove the last
vestige of democracy. This is our opportunity to pass democracy
to our children and our childrens children.
We, the people, can make certain that our government is not taken
over and run in an authoritarian way by zealots and fanatics.
We need a change in Washington. With all our votes, hope is on
the way.

Date of Defense 2005-12-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractI estimated when juvenile tail molt occurs for several commonly harvested duck species, mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), northern pintails (A. acuta) (hereafter referred to as pintails), gadwalls (A. strepera), lesser scaup (Aythya affinis), and redheads (A. americana). Tests showed that aging mallards by notched tail feathers became unreliable the earliest (early September), followed closely by pintails (mid-late September), with gadwalls being the latest of the dabbling ducks to lose reliability in aging by notched tail feathers (late November). Lesser scaup and redheads retained their notched tail feathers throughout January and the completion of hunting season. Based on initial banding and band recovery data I was able to separate birds into three age classes, juvenile (59), 1.5 years old adults (11), and adults 2.5 years old or older (23), creating a total sample size of 93 birds. From this sample of known-age banded birds I recorded five morhpometric variables including weight, wing length, bill length, tarsus length, and total length to determine if body size is related to ages over 1 year. Tests revealed that the only significant difference between the age classes was in wing length. However further tests showed that differences were not apparent between the 1.5 year old and 2.5 year old or older adults. Files

Starring together in 'On the Road', the actress found it difficult to bond with the teenager at first but found out that she's 'lovely' in the end.
Amy Adams admits she felt "very intimidated" by her "On the Road" co-star Kristen Stewart, insisting it took time for the pair to bond onset. The Oscar-nominated actress appears alongside the "Twilight" star in the new movie, but Adams reveals she was worried about working with the 20 year old.
She tells E! Online, "I guess I'm getting to the point in my life where I'm suspicious of teenagers and I'm intimidated a little bit. She's not a teenager but she's close enough and I was very intimidated." But Adams is glad she made the effort to get to know her co-star properly because she found Stewart "incredibly gracious and lovely."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/3/2011 (2344 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IT'S a tool rescuers hope they won't have to use during this spring's flood, but one they're happy to have at their disposal.
This week, the province is training a team of rescue technicians who will be able to swoop down in a basket lowered from a helicopter to reach stranded people.
In the past, the Office of the Fire Commissioner, which handles rescues, has used helicopters to spot stranded people as well as to direct rescues -- including during the flooding at Breezy Point in 2009. But until this year, provincial rescuers haven't had the equipment or training to swoop down with a heavy-lift helicopter and transport someone to dry ground.
"It's exactly the same type of rescue that you'll see with Coast Guard applications," Chris Jones, the province's fire commissioner, said Thursday.
The province has several privately owned helicopters at its disposal in case of an emergency. The choppers involved in rescues will have a pilot, co-pilot, two spotters and a rescue technician, who will be deployed in the basket, Jones said.
Rescuers have already identified spots along the Red River that can be used as staging areas for the whirlybirds. The same goes for western Manitoba, where severe flooding is also predicted along the Assiniboine River.
Helicopters with specially trained technicians and proper equipment will be on call at both Winnipeg and Brandon. The province is also looking into whether a third chopper will be needed along the border with Saskatchewan.
"We've got a whole deployment communication response plan that we've developed," said Jones. "It runs very quickly. In the event... someone needs help, it's a very, very quick response."
Of the eight rescue technicians being trained, four are with the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner and four are from the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Service.
The new chopper rescue system can also be used in other situations, Jones said. "If a hiker has fallen and they're not in good shape, it's a lot easier to utilize this piece of equipment than put them on the back of a quad and try and bounce them out of the bush."
The rescue choppers will be used in tandem with a special helicopter ambulance the province is leasing from Alberta throughout the flood period, just as it did in 2009.
Potentially, rescuers will lift someone out of harm's way and then give way to the medical chopper -- if a person is hurt and needs to be transported to hospital quickly, Jones said.
Health Minister Theresa Oswald said the province is continuing to develop plans for a permanent provincial helicopter ambulance. She said it could be put in place as early as this year.

The series of books beginning with His Majesty's Dragon has been getting great reviews, and when Naomi Novik won the Campbell Award at the recent WorldCon, I knew it was time for me to see what all the fuss was about.
Here's the deal. It's the Napoleonic Wars, but this time with dragons. Dragons, it seems, hatch from the shell able to speak English (and French, too), and they choose their partners at once. Will Laurence captures a dragon's egg from a French frigate, little suspecting that he will no longer be captain of his own ship but a member of the Aerial Corps, fighting sky battles from the back of the dragon Temeraire.
For whatever reason, corps members are practically outcasts from society, and Laurence isn't looking forward to becoming a member. He has no choice, however, and soon he's trying to adjust to the informality and strange ways of the group. He's noble, fair, and right-minded in the extreme, however, and he makes his way without too much difficulty. Soon he and Temeraire have bonded in a way that makes any thought of a return to his old life impossible.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit, and I've already obtained the next two in the series to read at a later date. If you like fantasy, dragons, or alternate universes, check it out.
Note: Some of you might not be aware that Novik is the wife of Charles Ardai (sometimes known as Richard Aleas), of Hard Case Crime, so I just thought I'd mention it.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Hello from JAThere is no good evidence that this product does anything.There is only one study presented by the company, it is not peer reviewed or published in any major journal, and all that it shows is that HGH levels increased after the use of the supplement, but nothing else.So, amino acid precursor therapy is doing a lot of different things and can support neurotransmitter and hormonal function.The product is unlikely to hurt you, if you are supervised in its use by your doctor.However, there is no evidence that it will do anything for you.Stuides on increasing HGH in adults have generally failed to show any long term benefit at this point.
Let me know if you have further questions. If you have any concerns just use reply to expert until you are ready to rate a positive for your satisfaction..

So, if I understand correctly hgh is a amino acid prodcuded by the pituitary gland. We know hgh production decreases with age. Article says "in Sept 12, more than 500 more than 500 scientist met in Texas (Obesity Sociey 30th Annual Annual Scientific Meeting) and the resulst of a double blind clinical trail revealed that orallly administered compound capable of increasing mean serum growth hormones levels by 682% had finally been found" I note: scientist not doctors, and does not mention SeroVital hgh explictly in the study. Comments?

ST. PETERSBURG — Tensions are high. Twenty guests in T-shirts and flip-flops eagerly await the most riveting words in poker: "Shuffle up and deal!" • It's a Texas hold'em party at Christine Sterling and Gary Mayfield's waterfront home and it's time to "Roll 'em!" • "What exactly is the dress code?" I ask Christine in my instant reply to her e-mail poker party invitation. • "Please do not outdress the hosts who will be barefoot, or in flip-flops at best," she responds. "Florida or poker shirts are the preferred attire." • There are many ways to throw a poker party, but I've discovered that "casual and comfortable" are the keys to a successful event. • Poker — hold'em especially — has been riding a wave of popularity in the last few years in large part due to the TV coverage of big-money Las Vegas tournaments. At-home weekly poker parties are common, too, and the type of poker varies among singles events, couples parties, ladies' night out, guys' night in — you get the picture.
Avid fans love the game, perhaps because it offers so many challenges. It takes patience, a decent memory, a few elementary math skills, but most important, the ability to read and learn about other people.
Most poker players know that the game is a formidable challenge. Thankfully, planning a good poker party is actually quite simple.
Where once the word "refreshments" at a poker home game meant grabbing a bunch of chips and a cold beer, today avid poker fans are not only crazy about poker, but crazy for good "poker food."
What is poker food?
As you might guess, food fit for a poker party should be:
• Easy to eat.
• Not so messy that the food sticks to the cards, greases up the tables or slops up the carpet.
• Plentiful and delicious.
Since poker can be a draining experience, it's crucial that guests be refueled with lots of food and drink. Also, since players who lose their chips will be hanging around for the next game to begin, snacking will keep them entertained.
"I read a lot of poker books to get ready for my parties and since everyone contributes drinks and food the setup is easy. No need to spend all week preparing," Christine says.
Christine's and Gary's poker parties typically begin around 7:30 p.m. "The secret," she says, "is to make things comfortable and easy for the guests — and us."
For Christine, personal style is everything. "We love entertaining and having friends over but we especially enjoying winning in our home!"
Play, then eat
After a few rounds of play, it's break time. Guests eagerly grab their plates, ready to sample an assortment of nibbles. The table groans with all the choices.
Judy Wagnitz's Over the Top Meatball Pitettes with a spicy piccata sauce and her Check-Raise Cheesy Crab Rounds made with sharp cheddar are a smashing success.
Lenny Kostas stimulates interesting conversation with his Green Eggs and Ham What Am dish. He makes it with fresh-cut honeydew melon and cantaloupe and skillfully molds it into a unique centerpiece, garnished with imported prosciutto, perfect for wrapping around the fruit.
The host creations are simple but luscious: Super Satellite Salmon Pinwheels by Gary combine seedless cucumber slices with fresh wild Alaskan salmon, fresh dill and sour cream.
Christine's World's Fair Deviled Eggs are perfectly seasoned with a savory brown spicy mustard.
There's a tantalizing basket of red and golden cherries with cut-up citrus, garlic-cheese dip with fresh vegetable crudites, and a variety of cheeses.
With this sort of food, nobody is terribly disappointed if they lose. Well, almost nobody.
Cookbook author Joyce LaFray is a freelance food writer based in St. Petersburg.

In what seems to be one of the better hosting announcements of the recent past, NBC announced late Monday evening that leading lady duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have been tapped to host the 2013 Golden Glob Awards. Clearly this puts the viewers at the winners table. NBC has not only been on top of the fall TV season ratings wise, they are making even smarter moves forward!
Tina Fey, leading lady of 30 Rock, and Amy Poehler of Parks & Rec are not strangers by any means. Besides their work together in the feature film Baby Mama, they have been seen together on SNL, each other's sitcoms and other special events. NBC President of Alternative Programming, Paul Telegdy, notes that having them
"on board to host this year's festivities is a major coup. Tina and Amy have a proven chemistry and comedic timing from their many years together on SNL to their successful co-starring roles in Baby Mama."
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association notes that they are thrilled to have these two ladies on board for the night's festivities, as they praise their "unparalleled comedic timing." The Golden Globes celebrate their 70th anniversary and will air on January 13, 2013 on NBC!

Good financial reporting makes investing and lending more efficient. Historically, financial reporting standards were developed by each country individually. Sometimes they were set by government, in other cases by the accounting profession, and, in still other cases, by an independent board. National standards made sense when companies raised money in, and investors looked for investment opportunities in, only their home country.
But a huge change occurred in the 35 years from 1975 to 2010—the globalisation of the world's capital markets. Now, investors seek investment opportunities all over the world. And companies look for capital at the lowest price anywhere. Almost daily we read about cross-border mergers.
In globalised capital markets, accounting differences make financial reports less understandable and complicate comparisons that investors and creditors want to make—hindering the efficient allocation of capital. This is true equally for both equity capital and debt capital, and also for both large companies and small ones.
High quality global financial reporting standards—carefully applied and rigorously enforced—benefit capital providers by:
Global standards also benefit companies that seek capital by:
Global standards also Improve consistency in audit quality and facilitate education and training and software development.
In 1973, the accounting standard setters in nine countries acknowledged the need for global accounting standards by jointly creating the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC). The IASC was a part-time body that produced a series of International Accounting Standards (IASs 1 to 41). However, by 2000, there were only a limited number of voluntary adoptions of IASs by listed companies, and very few adoptions by unlisted companies.
In 2001, the IASC was reorganised in the form of a full-time International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). To date, the IASB has produced the first nine in its series of International Financial Reporting Standards and has also improved virtually every one of the IASs that it inherited. By late 2010, IFRSs had been adopted as a requirement for listed companies in over 120 countries. Europe was the catalyst for global adoptions of IFRSs—making the use of IFRSs mandatory in the consolidated financial statements of listed companies from 2005 onwards. Once Europe made the decision, dozens of other countries followed. And many other countries that did not adopt IFRSs directly instead converged their national standards with IFRSs.
This growing use of IFRSs around the world (directly or via national convergence) occurred at the same time as IFRSs themselves were greatly expanded, made more rigorous and more detailed, and (by addressing tough issues) made more complex. Not surprisingly, small companies began expressing concerns that these complex and detailed standards were beyond their needs and capabilities—and the resulting financial statements, while suitable for investors in listed companies, were not aimed at the kinds of credit decisions that most users of the financial statements of small companies have to make. And, the little companies said, the volume of required disclosures is burdensome and amounts to 'overkill'.
Consequently, in late 2003 the IASB began a project to develop a separate, simplified IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs). Six years later, that standard was issued in July 2009.
The IFRS for SMEs is tailored for small companies that are not publicly accountable. That is, it focuses on the needs of lenders, creditors, and other users for information about cash flows, liquidity, and solvency. And it takes into account the capabilities of SMEs to prepare financial information and the costs to them of doing so.
The IFRS for SMEs is much smaller than full IFRSs—only 230 pages as compared to over 3,000 pages for the complete set of full IFRSs. It is organised by topic. And compared with full IFRSs, and with many national requirements, the IFRS for SMEs is less complex in a number of ways. Topics that are not relevant to SMEs have been omitted, and many principles for recognising and measuring assets, liabilities, income and expenses in full IFRSs are simplified. Two examples of simplifications are amortisation of goodwill and accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures at cost.
Moreover, where full IFRSs allow accounting policy choices, the IFRS for SMEs allows only the easier option. For example, in the IFRS for SMEs, there is no option to revalue property, equipment or intangibles (though values can be disclosed), and there is no 'corridor approach' for actuarial gains and losses. SMEs would use a cost-depreciation model for investment property and agricultural assets unless fair value is readily available without due cost or effort.
While there are significantly fewer disclosures required (roughly 300 versus 3,000), the required disclosures are tailored to the needs of lenders, creditors, and rating agencies. To further reduce the burden for SMEs, revisions to the IFRS for SMEs will be limited to once every three years.
Why would lenders and creditors want smaller companies to adopt the IFRS for SMEs? Lenders worry 'if I lend to this company, will they be able to pay the interest and principal when due?' And creditors worry 'if I sell goods or services to this company on credit, will they be able to pay the invoice when I send it?' Financial statements that conform to the IFRS for SMEs provide information that is useful in assessing shorter-term cash flows, liquidity, and solvency. Many national GAAPs for small companies today do not require even a cash flow statement. And often, under national SME GAAPs, relatively short-term obligations are off the balance sheet entirely—for example by measuring derivatives at cost (which is nil) or by not recognising them at all, and by ignoring deferred tax, employee benefit, and warranty obligations. Assets are overstated when SMEs fail to recognise impairments of both financial and non-financial assets on a timely basis. And often related party disclosures are minimal under national SME GAAPs. Capital providers want transparency. They know how to assess and balance both good news and bad news. What they abhor (and impose a price for) is uncertainty.
Comparability of financial information is just as important to investors, lenders, and other creditors as the quality of information. A global financial reporting standard for SMEs will improve comparability with other companies in an SME's jurisdiction and across borders. At the same time, it can reduce the burden for entities in jurisdictions where full IFRSs or full national GAAP are now required.
To enhance the quality of implementation of the IFRS for SMEs, the IASB is providing support that includes training materials, workshops, Q&As, and a monthly newsletter. By late 2010, over 70 jurisdictions all over the world either have adopted the IFRS for SMEs or have publicly proposed or indicated a plan to adopt it in the next three years. In my judgement, the IFRS for SMEs will result in better quality reporting, tailored for the capabilities of small companies, tailored for the needs of lenders and creditors, and understandable across borders. An SME's ability to obtain the capital it needs improves if capital providers understand and have confidence in its financial figures, Ultimately, the economy in which the SME operates will also improve as a result.
Olá! Estou estudando IFRS e preciso que me enviem publicações e comentários.

Vision of the Seas Denmark/Norway August 26th 2009: Vision of the Seas Cruise Review by Garyorient
Overall Member Rating
Vision of the Seas Denmark/Norway August 26th 2009
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Copenhagen
I booked a full package with Royal Caribbean including flights and transfers. Had I packaged it all myself, it would have been more expensive, and at least it avoided any potential hiccups with same day flights.
The flight and transfer was seamless and we arrived at the ship at about 1100 to 1115. Despite the fact that I had transposed my wifes and my passport number when checking in on line we were on the ship and walking around by 1125. Totally stress and hassle free.
Initial thoughts were that the ship did look a trifle dated, but it took a very very short space of time for us to realise that this only added to the charm of this smaller Vision Class ship. First day lunch in the Windjammer is always a thrill for me, and this was no More exception. Good quality food with a great window table overlooking Copenhagen docks.
Lunch over, cabin sought out and entered with luggage already there. How cool was that? Inside cabin, but for a 5 night cruise no problems. Cabin was plenty roomy enough, and after a couple of minor problems with the safe we were unpacked well before 1400hrs.
As it was a beautiful day we decided to do a little bit of relaxing by the pool outside. Not much to tell there apart from the fact that it was most enjoyable.
Sailaway bang on time, and before we knew where we were we were in the Main Dining Room at 20.45 for our second sitting dining. I had opted for a large table, as, being somewhat of a social animal, good food and good conversation is integral to my cruise enjoyment.
In no way did the Vision disappoint. The table we had was superb. A mixture of young(ish) and old(ish) American and British, but all really good people, who's presence on the table only enhanced and improved the whole cruise experience.
The first day was a sea day. Miserable weather, but who cares when you are at the indoor solarium and all you need to worry about is whether to spend 15 or 30 minutes in the jacuzzi.
The day was enhanced by my trip to the casino and my first hand on 3 card poker yielded a straight flush.......happy days.
Evening meal on day 2, just as pleasant as day 1. The next day we arrived at Bergen to beautiful skies (a complete contrast to the forecast given by Captain). We were breakfasted and walking in the beautiful town of Bergen by 0800 and by 1000 was back in the ship in the jacuzzi. This was one of our better decisions, as just after this, the heavens opened for the rest of the day.
and so it proceeded. Every night the same superb food, the same superb company.
At this point I must emphasise how superb the service levels were on this ship. From the Dining room staff, to the room attendent, to the Viking Crown Bar staff, to the Guest Relations and especially to the casino staff, eho all insisted on dealing me winning hands through the entire 5 days.
I loved Bergen and adored Geiranger, but for me the essence of cruising is the peace and tranquility that the Vision gave us on the Sea days.
This was as enjoyable a 5 day break as I have ever had. The ship was wonderful, and I would love to do a repositioning cruise on her at some point in the future. As it is I will have to resign myself to a 7 night cruise on the Mariner of the Seas in October.
Please do not have any reservations about going on an "older" ship. She has charm, class and everything you would enjoy in a cruise holiday. Less

The Military Duffel by Whipping Post
A simple, rugged leather bag with no zippers inspired by the standard GI issue
Building on the success of their previous vintage-inspired leather messenger bag, leather goods producer Whipping Post's latest offering is a rough-and-tumble duffel. Originally from Georgia and now NYC-based, founder Ryan Barr (who started making leather goods after he needed a new guitar strap) was inspired by his father's bag from his service in the Vietnam War. The Military Duffel is handmade from vegetable-tanned full grain leather and contains no zippers; simply a fold-and-clip closure—just like those found on the classic bags used by GIs for decades. As a kid, Barr recalls using his father's bag for everything, from carrying tools to sporting goods. "I wanted to make a similar bag that was constructed of better materials and sized a little bit more appropriately for a few days away rather than a combat deployment," he explains. Whether you're at home in the woods or the city, the Military Duffel is just the right size for a carry-on bag and makes for a heavy duty, adventure-ready companion.
A major aspect of Barr's design philosophy is rooted in simplicity and focuses on what's essential. You won't find any flashy logos or frivolous features in his goods: "I have a minimalist aesthetic that I try to stick to—less stitching, no lining when possible," he says. With fewer seams and no zippers, the Military Duffel has serious staying power. "This bag's lifespan will be measured in decades," Barr predicts.
The Military Duffel is available online for $319, along with Whipping Post's full line of leather bags and accessories.

Malee: Oregon and Stanford enter showdown on two very different paths
Stanford and Oregon enter their much-ballyhooed showdown on Saturday as two programs with plenty of similarities.
For the second consecutive year, both are ranked in the top 10. Both are led by multidimensional quarterbacks from Texas. Both carry prolific offensive attacks buoyed by defensive units underrated for their stinginess. And both are rising powers in a Pac-12 conference once dominated by USC.
Or, at least one of them is.
You see, what I came to realize this week is that 2011 may be the tip of the iceberg for Stanford. It's all or nothing at this point. Andrew Luck@@CE@@ will depart next April to become the next Peyton Manning@@http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/1428/peyton-manning@@ (literally, since the Colts seem determined to stumble their way into him) and so too will Chris Owusu@@http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/owusu_chris00.html@@ and half of the offensive line.
From there, it's hard to say where Stanford will go. The program may well be on the map for good, but its future is far more uncertain than that of its opponent this weekend.
Oregon (potential NCAA sanctions aside) is far from a one-hit wonder and closer to a well-oiled machine set for years to come. In comparing Oregon and Stanford, you might say the Ducks are simply further along in the program-development process. They had their breakout year (think to 2007 with Dennis Dixon's@@http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=70150@@ Heisman campaign and Chip Kelly's entrance as a flashy offensive coordinator) and built on that success with a clear recruiting agenda and innovative development formulas for their players. Dixon was replaced by Jeremiah Masoli,@@http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=1550447@@ who was in turn followed by Darron Thomas@@CE@@. Jonathan Stewart@@changed from Johnathan: http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=177405@@ gave way to LeGarrette Blount,@@http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=1550406@@ then LaMichael James@@CE@@ and Kenjon Barner.@@CE@@ Lather, rinse, repeat.
That's why, despite losing 11 starters to graduation last year,@@http://bleacherreport.com/articles/828236-oregon-ducks-football-10-under-the-radar-players-who-are-key-to-the-2011-season@@ the Ducks have barely missed a beat in 2011. That's why, when Thomas and James and Barner move on, Bryan Bennett@@CE@@ De'Anthony Thomas@@CE@@ and Tra Carson@@http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=205237442@@ will be ready to match — perhaps even eclipse — the accomplishments of their older peers. There's a system in place, and it's proven many times over to be an effective one.
Contrast that with Stanford. Already, just this past offseason, head coach Jim Harbaugh@@http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/harbaugh_jim00.html@@ departed for the NFL.@@http://www.49ers.com/team/coaches/jim-harbaugh/0168f05e-4fc6-4b7d-bdff-db27c0224ea7@@ The primary force behind Stanford's resurgence — the man who famously told his teams, "We're going to win with character, but we're also going to win with cruelty" —@@CE@@ was gone. Just like that. That alone is more upheaval than Oregon has had to deal with over these past few years.
David Shaw@@http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/shaw_david00.html@@ has done a great job in Harbaugh's place, making the transition seem damn near seamless (as that No. 3 ranking can attest@@changed from No. 4@@). But he's doing it all on the wings of players Harbaugh recruited, including the golden child himself in Luck. In stark contrast to Kelly, Shaw has no proven track record to bank on, and it remains to be seen whether he can sustain the path Harbaugh helped forge.
To be clear, I'm not saying he can't. Shaw's resume is impressive, and there's no reason to believe that he'll stumble as Stanford's head coach. The point is that it's no sure thing, especially when compared to the speed machine Oregon has become.
With two straight BCS bowl appearances, including a painfully close miss in the BCS National Championship Game last year, Oregon has established itself. Losing this weekend to Stanford would be a setback, but the Ducks appear to be well set for the future. Anyone who has watched De'Anthony Thomas or Bryan Bennett recently can confirm that sentiment.
Stanford is a bit more in limbo, and as such, this game could not be much bigger for the Cardinal. Win, and they're on the fast track for a Pac-12 title and maybe even more. Lose, and … well, what then?
Buckle up, everyone.

In the mid-1940s, operators started bringing their aircraft to newly established Airwork at Millville Municipal Airport, N.J., for engine repair and overhaul. Soon Airwork had earned a reputation for excellent service. Over the years the company expanded and changed ownership several times. In 1998 Dallas Airmotive acquired the operation from GE and further expanded services. But last month Dallas Airmotive revealed it will close the Millville operation and consolidate engine work at its Dallas and Neosho, Mo., locations. No specific timetable was given, but a Dallas Airmotive executive told AIN that it will take a "few months" to make the transition.

I love acting. Before 'Scream For Charity', before I changed it to state that I was a writer, my Twitter profile said that I am a singer first, a writer and author second. In a way that is still true; my biggest passion still lies in ars musicae, I just seem to be more successful at the writing side of things- this occurrence, I believe is from the connections I have had in the writing field!
However, as much as I play down my acting desires, they are there, just as clear as my literary wishes. The first thing that makes this clear is that it was not English Literature (English Language is not offered as an A-Level at my Sixth Form) or Music that I chose to take as my creative-outlet subject- though we have a complete free-choice, most take three 'serious' subjects, and one 'creative' that they will drop in A2, the next year- but Drama, or Theatre Studies as it is known here. Yes, it is not fully performance-focused, but I find that little change useful, as I am able still to fuel the literary side of my attentions.
There are only three students (myself included there) who have chosen to take this subject from our relatively small Sixth Form. This point makes choosing the right play to put on for our performance mark- worth 50% of the first-year half of the course- difficult; we needed a play that we could get the most marks on, with three characters, equal amounts of lines for each actor. And, to make matters more complicated, it has to be a fifteen minute extract, five minutes per student, as the scheme goes. (So, if we had gathered more students, the time would have been more anyway!)
We originally chose to focus our ideas on Naturalism, the kind of performances that one sees in TV-programmes and films, or on stage in plays such as 'An Inspector Calls' (JB Priestley), 'The Mousetrap' (Agatha Christie), and 'The Cherry Orchard' (Chekhov). The downside of choosing a Naturalistic play, despite the fact that Naturalism is all we have ever experienced in our lower-school performances, is that, unlike lower, GCSE exams, the props are taking into account and marked too. So, if we had chosen 'Top Girls' (Caryl Churchill), we would have needed to recreate scenes such as an 80s kitchen and an 80s employment agency.
In the end, the beginning, we came to the conclusion that it would be too difficult to get the top grades doing a Naturalistic production; we needed to select a style of theatre that was completely different, abstract: Physical Theatre.
Hence the title of my post- I, a traditional, Stanislavski-based actress, having performed in such local productions as 'Bugsy Malone' (Knuckles), 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' (Susan), 'Great Expectations' (Magwitch), would need to change my entire acting style, experiencing theatre as I had never experienced it before.
Steven Berkoff, famed practitioner, actor, writer, of the Physical Theatre genre was our chosen influence. His style involves: a use of the actor's body as props and voice as sound-effects, with everything exaggerated. Costume is often limited to black or white, with lighting being the same constant. Actors move together and are often robotic or fluid, since Berkoff was influenced by the French Mime artist, Jacques le Coq.
From those specifics, we chose to perform his adaptation of the tale of 'Agamemnon', a king returning from troubled war into a more troubled homeland. Strife blooms, Queen Clytemnestra (pronounced C-lie-tem-ness-trah) gets restless, and the curse of the House of Atreus- cast when a former king, Thyestes, who was tricked, by his brother, into eating his own children- comes down to ruin Agamemnon.
Berkoff's adaption includes a chorus, multi-rolling (not having a sole character for a sole actor) at the beginning of the play, their words harsh, 'gritty'. This adaption of Berkoff is meant to make the audience feel uncomfortable, mentioning cannibalism, vomit and various other physical features that fit the theme of children as food. This…uncomfortable-ness is probably what I find the hardest to overcome. The idea is morally grotesque; I am not too pleased with the idea that I will be shocking my audience with controversy. Oh, well; I should begin to get used to this novel style of theatre!
Though we are all finding it a big change from traditional theatre performances, having to push past our 'emotional barrier', putting on a piece of Berkoff is very rewarding I just have to remember to keep my eyes wide, my expression loud as well as my voice.
For more information on Steven Berkoff, I would recommend the dissertation that my class-mates and I used to begin our research into Berkoff, by Craig Rosen and found on Iain Fisher's website: http://www.iainfisher.com/berkoff.html

Basically, in a pretty entertaining movie, we see a few people transform their lives through temporary juice fasts. These are not smoothies with yogurt, berries and protein powder (not that there's anything wrong with that!). These tend to be hardcore juices made mostly from leafy green veggies, some citrus, some apples.
Though I generally resist any fad diets, I do see that there are great benefits here. I got interested, bought a juicer and have been doing it for about 7-10 meals per week for the past month or so. When I am pretty consistent, I feel a great energy boost and know that I am getting far more vitamins from all of the veggies. I am used to a "full" or bloated feeling from junk food and it feels great when I choose the juice instead.
On the downside, you go through a ton of veggies (because you are only drinking the juice, not eating the pulp), it can seem to take more time, and the taste of the Mean Green juice is honestly, nasty.
But is it worth it?
If a wizard came to you with a magic pill and said that you would lose a lot of weight, you would totally grab it. What if the wizard said it's not really a pill, but instead a recipe that you would have to make each day which would take some extra time and the recipe would taste nasty but could be consumed in a few minutes...then would you want it? Oh, and it would be totally healthy for you and would quickly reduce your dangerous bmi score.
Yeah, I'd do it. In the documentary, the guy does a doctor-guided 60-day juice fast. They don't recommend most people do that, but instead suggest plans between 3 days to 15 days.
So, I'm going to do the juice fast for the next three days and will let you know how it goes. I won't be totally hardcore, because I will still have some coffee (with a small amount of cream) and may have a Sunday afternoon beer. I'm not trying to do this perfectly...I just want to make some changes on the food I eat.
Big Clyde
P.S. I also did this thing called "exercise" today. I did about 6.8 miles on a stationary bike (only 93 miles to go by 7/21) and walked 1.5 miles. More tomorrow.

Welcome to our Web Site. We make Natural and Baroque Trumpets based on the trumpets produced in Nuremburg in the 17th and 18th centuries.
We are very keen to encourage as many players as possible to try out and have their own Natural or Baroque Trumpet. Unfortunately because they are handmade, and often made to a customer's individual specification they can be very expensive! We therefore decided to produce a range of instruments, from a basic starter outfit to a complete, bespoke instrument suitable for professional players at what we feel are very competitive prices.
We always customise every trumpet to an individual's specific requirements, so no two instruments are ever the same. They can be built in any combination of keys, from high F down to Bb in modern, Classical and Baroque pitches.
- Bells are handmade from 0.45 brass sheet
- They can be either one piece or two piece
- Bells can have rim wire or a garland with or without bezel wire
- Tubes on standard instruments are seamless, but can also be seamed
- Ferrules have engraved lines on them, and can be made from either brass or nickel silver
- Trumpets come with two mouthpiece receivers. One is tapered and accepts a modern mouthpiece, the other is parallel, for a Baroque style mouthpiece

RESIDENTS have less than a week left to help shape where thousands of houses and businesses will be built in the district.
Wycombe District Council's public consultation over its new Local Plan closes on Friday, April 4.
The authority said about 1,500 people had attended its exhibitions and 34 public meeting, while a video box was also set up in Eden last weekend.
But the council said it had only received "about 400 detailed comments".
Councillor Neil Marshall, WDC's Cabinet Member for Planning and Sustainability, said: "There has been a wide range of comments and issues which people have flagged up so far in the consultation, and obviously lots of food for thought.
"We know we've got some really tough decisions ahead of us and we need to hear what people think about them.
"The decisions we do make for the Local Plan are going to shape the future provision of homes, jobs and infrastructure in the district, as well as set out how we'll work to protect our precious local environment.
"So please, if you haven't had your say, there's still time - email us or write to us with your comments."
WDC has said may have to build between 500 and 700 new homes every year between now and 2031 to keep up with growth.
Up to 400 dwellings are currently built around the district every 12 months.
All local authorities have been told by the government to work out how many homes and jobs are required and plan to meet that need.
Visit www. wycombe.gov.uk/newlocalplan to view a document summarising the options in the Local Plan.
Email your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com or you can write to the Planning Policy Team at WDC in Queen Victoria Road, High Wycombe, HP11 1BB.

Pundits are split on how to tackle a spate of "offensive" naked photos taken by tourists at the Angkor Archaeological Park in recent weeks, with suggestions ranging from ignoring the antics to overhauling visitation to the World Heritage site.
In less than a month, the Kingdom has kicked out seven foreigners for public nudity, including two American sisters and three French tourists who, in separate cases, disrobed at different ancient temples in the Siem Reap complex and posed for pictures.
Further, the Apsara Authority, which manages the archaeological site and has vowed to boost security in response, is investigating two more sets of naked pictures taken amid the ruins, including one captioned "hakuna matata" that features a naked couple wearing animal masks.
Citing a past trend to flash while on rides at theme parks, professor of tourism at Queensland's James Cook University Philip Pearce suggested ignoring the fad would see it die out.
"Maybe not immediately, but more cheaply than security guard use," he added.
But Elizabeth Becker, former Cambodia correspondent and author of Overbooked: The Exploding Business of Travel Tourism, disagreed.
"This is not a theme park, and you do not allow this," said Becker, who recently spoke at the UNWTO/UNESCO World Conference on Tourism and Culture in Siem Reap.
"This is Cambodia, and if Angkor, which is so much the embodiment of what Cambodians think of themselves, is starting to be treated by foreigners like a theme park, Cambodia's in trouble."
Sometimes called "naked tourism", nude shots by travellers featuring well-known monuments aren't exclusive to Cambodia.
Last year, Peru's Ministry of Culture began cracking down on tourists stripping down and streaking at the 15th-century Inca site Machu Picchu.
Pearce said disrespect for local culture was indicative of less-experienced travellers, while taking nude travel shots spoke "predominantly to the need to proclaim difference and identity".
"It is a 'clever' twist on the theme of achievement and 'I am/have been here statements by also proclaiming I am liberated and can break the rules in an exotic place," Pearce said via email.
Becker said the incidents should serve as a "wake-up call" to authorities to consider better regulating visitors at the site, which, according to official figures, saw more than 2 million tourists last year.
She suggested seriously studying the park's visitor capacity and looking at ways to improve the flow of people through the site, including introducing electric trams.
"It's not a question of restrictions, it's a question of preserving this amazing sacred space, these are temples; this is not Disneyland."
The president of Cambodia's Association of Travel Agents, Ang Kim Eang, suggested more education for visitors about local customs and laws, including information at hotels and tourist sites.
"Awareness is very important," he said. "Not just about culture but also the law. [Public nudity] is prohibited by the law."
But Greg Richards, a professor of leisure studies at the Netherlands' Tilburg University who has researched local backlash against naked foreigners in Barcelona, warned against any further laws if the incidents don't die down, instead suggesting grassroots action such as publicising local customs through tourism operators.
"I guess with more tourism and more tourists taking selfies, there's almost bound to be more naked pictures appearing," he said, via email.
Far from being harmless fun, the behaviour was deeply offensive to Khmer culture, said National Museum director Kong Virak, echoing previous statements made by the Apsara Authority.
"If I went into a Catholic Church and did the same thing, how would people feel?" Virak, who welcomed the beefed-up security, asked.
"This is not just an archaeological site but a live site where many Cambodians go to worship, it is a sacred place and foreigners have to respect our culture."
Gareth Butler, humanities lecturer at Flinders University in South Australia, said the consequences of being caught, particularly deportation, were probably enough to deter most, but not all, people from taking naked photos at Angkor.
"There will be some that will see this as an even more enticing challenge," he said.
