Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini admits he needs his forward options to deliver as he prepares for his first taste of the Premier League against Newcastle tonight.
Pellegrini, who replaced Roberto Mancini following the Italian's dismissal at the end of last season's trophy-less campaign, lost Carlos Tevez to Juventus in this transfer window, but has added Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic to his attacking options alongside Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko.
Now the Chilean faces his first striking dilemma as he debates who will start up front in his opening competitive match in charge at Eastlands.
City have not lost an opening-day Premier League game since a defeat by Aston Villa in 2008 and Pellegrini's front men will be expected to continue that run.
"I do not know my team yet because on Thursday all the players that played for their national squad arrived back. I am not 100 per cent sure," Pellegrini said.
"We have four important strikers, that is why they are here in this squad as we want them for the whole season. We have four strikers because I think we need four strikers. We will see who is the best for each match."
Newcastle, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are looking to halt an unwanted run of seven successive defeats against City, a sequence that stretches back to October 2008.
But they head to Manchester with several injury worries.
French forward Loic Remy, the new arrival on a season-long loan from QPR, is likely to miss the first month of the campaign with a calf injury.
Italian full-back Davide Santon has a hip problem, defender Steven Taylor required an injection in a toe injury, and Argentinian midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has a hamstring strain.
However, boss Alan Pardew welcomes back Tim Krul, with the Dutch keeper set to make his first Premier League start since April after recovering from shoulder surgery.
Pardew is happy for the pressure to be off his side after their struggles last season, but he remains in the market for further attacking reinforcements, with Remy Newcastle's only pre-season signing.
"We're starting with a clean slate and it possibly suits us a bit more that there's less expected of us this year than last," Pardew said. "But at the same time when we finished fifth two years ago it was very important that you are not thinking you've arrived and everything is going to be hunky-dory, because obviously it wasn't for us.
"We think there were problems in the squad last year and we need to address those. We need to carry more of a goal threat."

|Re: Errors occured when parsing a seemingly valid WSDL file
|Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:49:58 GMT
Hi Ken, There's no native support in Xerces for loading schemas from a WSDL so presumably you're trying to do this by extracting the individual schema documents and then passing them to the schema loader. Am I right? How to get it working probably isn't obvious, particularly if there are imports between the inline schemas. You might find this JIRA issue [1] (from a few years back) helpful. Thanks.

The basketball player lay on the basketball court dead, having suffered a fatal heart attack, and officials promptly called the game.
Bob Messersmith, who was guarding the now-deceased player, didn't understand the officials' actions. He wanted to continue playing.
"Heart attacks aren't unusual. Dying happens all the time at our age," Messersmith, 79, said.
Messersmith has a point. At an age when many of his peers are sitting in assisted care facilities or in front of their televisions, he and his group of 75-and-older basketball-playing buddies are circling the globe in search of victories. And more often than not, they find them.
Most recently, the team, which calls itself USA 75 and features six players from Orange County, won the Federation of International Maxibasketball Association World Championships in Brazil.
But this group of seniors isn't some Johnny-Come-Latelys. The San Juan Capistrano-based team, led by player/coach Messersmith, previously won World Championships in Australia at age 65, in Utah at age 70 and now Brazil five years later.
They also won the USA National Championships in all three age groups, and have medaled 75 times throughout the U.S. and world since forming a team 13 years ago.
"We're tenacious. We do this at a whole other level," said Ernie Miller, 76, of San Juan Capistrano. "But of course, this is the way we played as young guys, but it's still surprising that we are doing some of these things at our age."
Their knees creak, their backs ache and sometimes their pacemaker alarms sound during a game. Some of them, such as Miller, have artificial knees, while others take prescription heart medication or have had prostate cancer. Ben-Gay is their best friend.
But that doesn't stop this group of basketball players, who vow to play until they can no longer shoot, guard or breathe.
"Age is mental, it's a mindset," Messersmith said.
Messersmith should know. He ran his first marathon at age 64 on a dare and finished in 4 hours, 29 minutes.
After running a few more marathons, Messersmith, a retired Air Force colonel, turned his attention to longer races and eventually competed in a 100-mile race.
"Every race I've ever run, I've finished," said Messersmith, who ran track at University of Maryland. "My creator blessed me with good genes."
Messersmith eventually became bored with running and joined a friend's softball team.
After a few tournaments, Messersmith again found him self yearning for something different and joined another friend on a basketball team.
"I was spastic, I couldn't even dribble," he said. "But after a year, I learned how to play."
Messersmith also discovered there were dozens of senior basketball tournaments in Southern California and entered his team in a tournament San Bernardino.
"We did pretty good there, which stoked our egos," he said.
There would be no stopping these seniors now.
The group competed in tournaments all over California, winning their first major title in the 65-year-old division at the State Masters Tournament in Pasadena 10 years ago. They then turned their sights to tournaments in other states.
The senior team had won titles in shooting contests, small tournaments, large tournaments and senior Olympic events. By 2004 it was national 65-69 champion and repeated the following year.
Last year, the team traveled to Oregon, where it competed in the 2010 FIMBA championship tournament against teams from the Dominican Republic, Panama and Brazil.
"The message to older people is that there is something beyond the couch," Messersmith said.
Their success led to a profile a few years ago before a Lakers game, an invitation to play in Cuba, recognition by the San Juan Capistrano City Council and a letter of congratulations from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
Their biggest honor, however, came last month when USA 75 was asked by the Russian Federation of Basketball to stage a re-enactment of the 1972 Olympics game when the Russians beat the U.S in a controversial game.
"My intentions are not as hospitable as they think," Messersmith said. "I want to kick butt and win back our country's gold medal."

I'm short and slim. but my bodytype isn't too curvy but I Really love the high waisted bikinis. Yet I don't know if it'll look bad on me since I'm short and I'm not too curvy
Are high waisted bikinis attractive on short slim people?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 3
Personally, I don't think high waisted bikinis look good on ANYONE , regardless of body type or size. As a matter of fact, I don't like the high-waisted look on any form of bottoms, whether it be shorts, pants, jeans, etc. I think it looks childish to be honest.
With this being said, wear what you want. Who cares what people thinks?00|00|0
ok, thanks for your comment :)
@Asker No problem! Just be yourself.
I prefer high waisted clothes on women.00|00|0
I actually like the high waist thing. I think it would look good00|00|0
What Girls Said 3
I also really like high waisted anything. Because even though I don't have much curves (a big butt) I do have a small waist. And anything high waisted emphasizes this. But you should just take a good friend or your mom and try one on. Because even though high waisted pants look good on me high waisted bikinis don't. This can be the same.. or not.00|00|0
i think it'd look fine00|00|0
I need a picture to decide whether it would look good or not.00|00|0

|By The Snowbold
|Part of the Myths of the Empire and The Reclamation of Arein continuity.
|The Red Sun
|General information
Lirin, Navigators
|Notable members
The Red Sun is a crime syndicate that is the underworld network organization for Emperor Lirin. They are a massive spying network that sees throughout the empire. Their vices businesses include gambling, assassinations, prostitution, drugs, smuggling and various other businesses and vices.
The Red Sun is a powerful spy network turned crime syndicate formed by Avatar Lirin. In the aftermath of the Razing of the Temple, Lirin spoke with the agents who had successfully informed him of the enemy. He collected them together and named them the Red Sun after the very sun rose that day red.
The Red Sun became a very powerful organization that did a myriad of tasks for the Emperor; ranging from espionage and assassination to archeology and science experiments. They followed his will without question and were loyal above all others. Some were trusted to watch over the Emperor's descendants to ensure loyalty amongst his own ranks.
The operations of the Red Sun used to be purely covert until a dangerous underworld started to grow that had no respect for the authority of the public or the covert Red Sun. Under a powerful captain called Kita, the Red Sun took over the underworld and monopolized organized crime under its banner.
While this made Red Sun's existence public, it served as a cover for Red Sun activities as most thought they were just petty criminals and not in fact spies.
Red Sun had many businesses that made great profits and allowed them to remain solvent even without Imperial funding.
- Gambling- Red Sun had a massive investment in gambling, both legal and illegal. It provided massive revenues as well as information on seedy events around them and leverage on politicians and businessmen.
- Surplus- Red Sun sold many of their legal equipment through legitimate fronts as a way to keep local law off their backs.
- Smuggling- Red Sun used their massive network of agents and resources to smuggled various items, both legal, rare, and illegal. Smuggling was used as a way to train agents in subversion and espionage. Smugglers also sold and moved priceless items that the Archeology department used to dig for.
- Prostitution- One of the most efficient and dangerous businesses of the Red Sun is their prostitution rings. High class and highly protected. Only vetted people are allowed in to have access to courtesans. The Madams are in fact high-ranked members of the Red Sun who serve as information collectors and distributors as well. Some of the most dangerous assassins in the organization are also courtesans.
- Spices- Where there is want, there is a market. Red Sun made a lot of capital on selling illegal or restricted substances for both personal and professional uses. This included narcotics, poisons, and even hard to get antidotes.
- Apex- An enhancer derived from an old chi-enhancing tea. It can amplify bending and other physical traits to make a human a hundred times stronger.
- Arms Trading- As a branch of the organization was research and development, the Red Sun sold prototypes after successfully making better models in order to make money on old hardware. This business helped arm local law, though they were unaware of it.
The Red Sun had some very critical projects that required much skill, funding, and secrecy. They were the absolute treasure of the Red Sun and its evil heart as well.
- The Apex Project - A project that involved using enhancers to give benders strong abilities and powers.
- The Kodai Project - An archaeological dig as much as a syndicate operation. The Red Sun scoured the world for the missing Ish Kash.
- The Synthetic Project - A name that is wrapped in mystery. It was active until the death of Lirin, at which point it was abandoned. All that is known is that it has something to do with Spirits and that anyone who was involved went mad.
- The Plan - The most secretive operation of the Red Sun. Even how its details fit together was unknown by the lieutenants. Only the Navigators knew it and followed orders to carry it out.
The Red Sun has a very focused leadership structure.
Red Sun is led by the 'Navigators' who answer to the emperor.
Kita (North), the chief captain and leader of the Red Sun. This leader is the de facto commander of the Red Sun and answers to the emperor himself.
- Kita (Apex) - This Kita focused funds to create a super drug enhancer called Apex. She was overexposed and her bloodbending powers had to be dealt with by Lirin himself.
- Kita (Wolf's Eye) - Lirin's bastard son, this Kita was prepared for his ultimate plan. With Lirin's death, he has made his own plans to take over the world.
Minami (South), the second captain and leader of southern operations. This captain rarely has the same formal command as the other navigators, instead, they have no known identity and could be anywhere, but have access to all the resources of the organization.
- Minami - the sleeper agent in the Southern Kingdom.
Nishi (West), the third captain and leader of homeland operations. The secretive Nishi is the ultimate spy who stands at any Fire Lord's side under command of the Emperor. Each Nishi has a new name incorporated into their title based on their purpose and their era.
Names of Nishi's:
- Saisho no Nishi (The First West)
- Rakuen no Nishi (West of Paradise)
- Shi no Nishi (West of Death)
- Kage no Nishi (West of Shadow)
- Ryūketsu no Nishi (Bloody West)
- Saigo no Nishi (The Final West)
Higashi (East), the final captain and leader of central operations and most things concerning their criminal activities. Higashi is the most public navigator as they forego their names and become the Higashi.
Beneath the Navigators are the lieutenants, who are much more numerous. There are several ranks in the story who are equal to the lieutenants.
Commander of the Death Guard: The Leader of the elite warriors who were made from the former Metal Guard and Royal Procession. The current commander is Peshmar.
Amir- A lieutenant by virtue of his time with the Red Sun. He considers himself an 'affiliate'.
Lieutenants meet though not often, If all are present, it means something important.
Red Sun agents have tattoos on their back identifying them as members as well as detailing their personal histories.
Characters- Each character tells a story about the members, further detailing them to other members.
- Red Sun- All members have a red sun on the top of the portrait that looks over the entire mark.
- Samuraii- A warrior who can vary between muscle, enforcer, or trusted leader.
- Ninja- An assassin.
- Geisha- A madam or courtesan.
- Dragon- A traveler and powerful warrior.
- Wolf- A good group worker and cunning agent.
- Lake- Specializes in smuggling overseas.
- Mountain- Solitary or low population zones.
- Forest- Specializes in arms trade.
- Castle- City and other urban operations.
- Snake- Manages money and accounts.
- Road- Specializes in smuggling on land.
Fighting Style- may be identified by their weapon on the marks.
- Katana- A warrior who fights honorably and face-face.

- Daggers- The weapon of an assassin. If a Geisha has them, it means they have dual roles for the organization.

- Storm- A warrior who prefers to be in the thick of it.
- White Clouds- An agent who stays out of the grittier affairs.
- Burning House- An agent who 'cleans up'.

- Shield- Higashi agents have their marks all within a shield design.
- Wheat- Minami agents have wheat hanging on the edges of their marks.
- Island- Nishi agents have their marks enclosed in an island design to denote their region.
Color- Colors denote bending discipline if the member has one or not. The main character of the marks (a samuraii, ninja, or geisha) will wear these colors to denote bending or other traits. There is no determined color for airbenders as the Red Sun has yet to successfully recruit them without giving them Black. As such, they often employ Qatil's if needed.
- Green- Green denotes earthbending. Silver with it means they can metalbend while brown means sandbending.
- Red- Red denotes firebending. Gold entwined with it means they have lightning generation prowess.
- Blue- Blue signifies waterbending. Thin red stripes signify bloodbending.
- Grey- Grey means that they are not a bender.
- Black- Black is reserved for officers. This is often to those who were recruited for their prowess and given respect, so were given black as a sign of authority. It is also a way to keep their powers a mystery.
- White- White means that the Red Sun had refused to give the ability of the member public. This is reserved for some of the most dangerous members who need to have their skills kept secret.
- Red Sun leaders are named on the Japanese words for north, south, east and west.
- The Red Sun marks are inspired by the Yakuza marks that will often mark most of the body.
- By and large, the Red Sun resemble any organized crime group, but more specifically imitate the Yakuza.
- Red Sun agents have various backgrounds and skills, not all are violent thugs, though the group puts on that front intentionally.

Four people arrested for robbery of WSOP Champion
Four people have been arrested for last week's brazen daytime home invasion, beating, and robbery of 2012 World Series of Poker Champion Jonathan Duhamel according to the Montreal Gazette. Mark David, a spokesman for the Agglomeration de Longueuil police department, stated that four people (three men and one woman) have been arrested in conjunction with the crime.
According to earlier reports, two men rang the doorbell of Duhamel's home just outside of Montreal, Quebec at 9:15 AM on December 21st. When Duhamel answered the door the men forced their way inside and beat the 24 year-old Canadian before stealing his WSOP Championship bracelet, an engraved Rolex watch given to Duhamel by his sponsor PokerStars, as well as large denomination Euro bills and Canadian currency.
According to David, a 20 year-old woman was arrested on December 24th and charged with conspiracy. Two days later police arrested the two men (Aged 22 and 26) believed to have attacked Duhamel and charged them with breaking and entering, assault, forcible confinement and possession of stolen goods. A fourth suspect (a 20 year-old male) was arrested on December 29th. The police are still trying to determine if Duhamel was specifically targeted by the group due to his exposure for his 2010 WSOP victory which netted the youngster a whopping $8.9 million payday.
Three of the four suspects were arraigned at the Longueuil Courthouse on Wednesday, December 28th. According to the Montreal Gazette:
"Bianca Rojas-Latraverse, 20, of St. Sauveur, and John Stephan Clark Lemay, 22, of Pointe Claire, were charged with armed robbery, forcible confinement, breaking and entering, assault and conspiracy. Lemay and André Perron, 26, of Pierrefonds, were charged with possession of a stolen watch worth more than $5,000."
The 20 year-old suspect remains unnamed and has not been officially charged at this point in the investigation, which police are calling "ongoing".
Cbc.ca is reporting that, "Duhamel's agent confirmed to The Canadian Press that the woman was someone the poker player dated over a short period and is the only person among the accused his client actually knew."
According to the police the Rolex watch was recovered but Duhamel's WSOP Championship bracelet is still missing. Duhamel has offered a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of the thieves and the recovery of the stolen items. Should anyone turn in the thieves without the return of his WSOP bracelet and watch Duhamel offered up $5,000.
Duhamel dialed 911 and was taken to a nearby hospital following the harrowing ordeal. He was treated and later released from the Hospital. On his website Duhamel issued a statement detailing the events and his injuries:
"I spent (Dec. 21) at the hospital and (I was) black and blue all over but no broken bones, no blood clots, nothing to worry about. Today, I am exhausted, both physically and mentally but I'm happy to be alive."
Hopefully the bracelet (a one of a kind item that will be difficult to unload for anything other than its melt value) will be recovered. If the bracelet is lost, my suggestion would be for the WSOP to create an exact copy, designed by the same jeweler who fashioned the original.

3G dongles: a buyer's guide
If you want to start using mobile broadband you'll probably need to get hold of some additional hardware. While some tablets and laptops support mobile broadband SIM cards, the most common route into mobile internet is with a mobile broadband dongle.
They're available in various shapes; if you're completely new to mobile broadband the choice can be confusing. So read on for our guide to comparing and buying a 3G broadband dongle.
USB or Wi-Fi: does the dongle really matter?
A quick glance at the comparison table above will reveal that you've got a couple of choices for the dongle itself.
The cheapest option is a USB dongle. They look like big memory sticks and just plug into a spare USB port on your desktop or laptop computer. You can't really share the connection though, and they are not generally compatible with tablets or anything other than Windows and Apple Mac OS.
On the higher end of the scale are Wi-Fi dongles (also called pocket Wi-Fi or 'MiFi' - the latter of which is a Three brand). These devices do not need to be physically connected, instead they send out a wireless network signal that any nearby Wi-Fi capable hardware can use. That means they'll work with stuff like tablets and games consoles as well as computers.
If your requirements for mobile broadband are fairly basic - light and/or infrequent use on a single computer at a time - then the cheap USB dongles will be perfectly sufficient. Some of the fancier USB models include swivel heads which claim to improve reception, however you can simply purchase an inexpensive USB extension lead and place the dongle on a high shelf to get a better signal.
Wi-Fi units are best if you need to share the connection with friends and family, or want to get hardware hooked up to mobile internet that would not support a USB dongle.
There should not be a great deal of difference in performance between the various dongles, the biggest impact will come from signal strength and the speed supported by the dongle.
At a minimum any dongle will be able to handle the standard 7.2Mb 3G service, but newer models may have a top speed of 21Mb or 42Mb. If you're on Three then it is worth considering one of these because they have been upgrading the network to support these 'ultrafast' speeds, and it can genuinely provide a faster service.
Contracts, data usage and coverage
The offers listed above are all contract mobile broadband packages, so just like a mobile phone you're entering an agreement with the network for a set amount of months.
While many contracts will be in the 12-24 months range, we do also provide rolling monthly deals. These you can cancel with 30 days notice and not get hit with any extra charges, while cancelling early on the longer contracts means paying a fee.
However, rolling monthly contracts do require an up-front payment while the lengthier contracts may be free.
When you compare any kind of contract package you'll want to take particular note of its data usage allowance (in the downloads column on our table) as well as the price. Heavy users will want to look for 5GB or more, but if you only require mobile net access on occasion for some web browsing and email you can get away with a smaller limit. We'd also recommend reading our incredibly useful guide "how much download usage do I need?".
But before you buy anything, it's vital to check network coverage. Without a 3G signal you'll find the internet is very slow...if you can get online at all. Click the logos below to access the network mapping tools.
3G or 4G - should you upgrade?
4G mobile broadband is finally here in the UK. The next generation of mobile networks provides some impressively rapid speeds, in excess of 20Mb under real world conditions. That means mobile broadband shoppers are faced with the decision of 3G or 4G in addition to everything else.
We would generally recommend purchasing a 4G dongle. They are not expensive, and it's becoming harder to buy new 3G dongles from the networks anyway. If you're in an area covered by 4G it does make a very nice alternative to fixed line services - and when you're outside of 4G coverage, your dongle or mobile Wi-Fi unit will simply grab the nearest 3G signal instead.

This Surah began with a series of oaths, the Fig, the Olive, Mount Sinai and the peaceful city (Makkah) then Allah gives us the response of the oaths, "certainly we created man in the best of fashion".
In this lesson we'll study:
1- The connection between Surat At-Teen and the Suwar before it?
2- What does it mean when Allah takes an oath by the Fig, the Olive, Mount Sinai and the peaceful city?
3- What is special about the sequence of oaths beginning with The fig and ending with "this entrusted city?
4 - Why was the Fig mentioned before the Olive?
5- The miraculous nature of the Quran proven once again through the word "Seneen"
6- The parallels between Surat Al-Balad & Surat At-Teen.

This weekend, as I meticulously organized my planner + Gmail calendar so they were perfectly in synch, I realized I have seven weddings to attend this year.
Not even a minute later, one of my best friends called to tell me she got engaged.
I let out an excited "Eep!"
Congratulated her + her new fiancee.
And the reality of my own dire relationship status, or lack thereof, was made obviously apparent to me once again.
I wanted a drink, preferably with alcohol.
But not before I wondered when I got so Type A about my calendars.
So I went out with two friends, ate andouille sausage pretzel dogs, drank too much beer and woke up to a dull headache and a mighty fine jar of oatmeal.
1 almost empty almond butter jar
1/2 cup oatmeal + 2 T brown rice protein powder
1 1/4 cup water
1 T brown sugar
1 T maple syrup
1 mashed banana
2 T dried pineapple chunks
Then, I listened to this song 21 times in a row.
Played around on Photoshop, which my friend Thomas so lovingly bestowed a copy of on me.
Spent $6.49 on a cherry red lip stain pen that makes me feel très Parisian chic.
And took 29 pictures of blood oranges.
I cleaned my apartment, which required a sinkful of four day old dishes and a bicep workout scrubbing them, and headed back out on the town Saturday night, red lips in tow.
I ended the night with a drink called "The Regret."
Death's Door Vodka. Rosemary-infused simple syrup. Lime juice.
Luckily, the only regret I woke up with didn't involve a man, but rather the realization I should have been drinking this most delicious cocktail all night long instead of crappy Bud Light.
Then, I fed myself PB+B toast, coffee, water and eventually lunch.
In the process, I proceeded to eat this entire bag of SunChips.
I recommend you go buy them.
Like now.
Then, my dad called me to tell me he can't find my W-2 forms I gave him, which puts into jeopardy my much-needed tax refund due in 15 days.
So I made Banana Bran Muffins.
Ran to the gym, took a 75-minute yoga class and ran home.
Now, I'm blogging.
And still pretending my dad didn't tell me that.
When I get done, I will most likely eat another muffin (my third) slathered in peanut butter, shower, rewatch Jake Gyllenhaal's appearance on The Daily Show for the 7th time and call it a weekend.
Fill in the blank: This weekend, I __________.
Don't forget to enter my Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanut Butter giveaway! You have until Monday night to enter before I announce a winner.

The mate is holding a sextant, a navigation instrument typically used to measure the height of the sun above the horizon at noon, which gives a measurement of one's latitude. At dawn, he might just be using it for the small telescope that is typically part of the instrument. This isn't the normal use of a sextant, but you could do it if you needed to.
You can also sight - horizontally - the angle between the dawn sun and a landmark, which will give you an absolute bearing from the landmark.

Sometimes the dead need our help and sometimes, we need theirs.
Angela Panther has a perfect life: A lovely home, an attentive, successful husband, two reasonably behaved children, a devoted dog and a lot of coffee and cupcakes. But while her life might border on mundane, she's got it under control. Until her mother, Fran, dies - and returns as a ghost. It seems Fran's got some unfinished business and she's determined to get it done.
Now Fran's got some nifty celestial superpowers and isn't opposed to using them to levy a little ghostly retribution on her granddaughter's frenemies and even her own daughter, which doesn't make Angela happy.
While Angela's shocked and grateful to have her mother back, she's not thrilled about the portal to the afterlife Fran opened upon her return. Now every ghost in town is knockin' on Angela's psychic door, looking for help - and it's a royal pain in the butt. Now Angela's got to find a way to balance her family life with her new gift and keep her mother in line. And it's a lot for one woman to handle.

Not even death can put an end to motherly love.
Yes. It is so fun. And besides, who has not wished to keep in touch with their loved ones that went ahead of us to the other side?
I liked the mother-daughter relationship. Even though one of them is dead, it is funny and so real, you can relate at so many levels.
She is amazing at making you see the characters right in front of you. She specially brings Fran to life, "back" to life, that is! Her voice has so many facets it is so easy to go from a Grandma to a teenager to a boy on the same sentence. Kathy Poelker's performance enhances the story.
I wouldn't change it. It is perfect for the story.
This has been my first audio-novel and I think Kathy Poelker has set the bar very high for my future audibooks!
- Monica
Highly Recommend - Moving and Touching story
Listening to the audio was very enjoyable. Kathy Poelker did an excellent job. I enjoyed it very much. She has a way of speaking that draws you in and keeps your interest!
There were a lot of moments that I could relate to and made the story memorable. The relationship between the writer and her "ghost" Italian Mom, was classic. It reminded me of my own experiences with my family. This book made me, laugh out loud, smile and even cry.
My favorite character was Angela. Being a mother and a daughter, I could relate to her story and experiences.
From Here to Beyond... Unfinished Business
I highly recommend this book to everyone! If you are a mother, a daughter, an Italian family member, believe in life after death or if you enjoy, smiling, laughing or crying, this is a MUST Read! It is a delightful story that takes you on a roller coaster ride. We all can relate to the family dynamics in this story and it is just hilarious and a heart-felt tale. Definitely buy this book, because once you start it, you will not want to put it down.

After just a decade of operation, Switzerland- and U.S.-based Comlux (Booth 387) has a lot to be proud about. At EBACE the company is celebrating its 10th anniversary and five years of operations as Comlux USA in Indianapolis, Indiana. There are new VIP aircraft in the Fly Comlux fleet, and completions projects rolling into the hangars on both continents, as well as some intriguing plans for the future.
Fly Comlux's fleet of Bombardier Global jets now numbers six, and this year the company has added a Boeing BBJ for charter. "Our growth during the last 10 years could not have taken place without the loyalty of our customers, the motivation and dedication of the 650 employees and the vision and determination of the company shareholders," said Richard Gaona, president and CEO of Comlux.
David Edinger, CEO of Comlux America/Comlux Aviation Services, told AIN that, along with new projects in 2013, the company, at least in the U.S., in undergoing some restructuring. "Where Comlux Aviation Services used to be all about refurbishing and maintaining business jets, we've decided to make a change. Now Airbus and Boeing refurbishments and maintenance have been added to that division's list of services," he said. "What that does is free up Comlux America to focus only on green completions."
The new hangar in Indianapolis has allowed the company to process up to four completions inside the hangar at once. "This means we can have four aircraft in active completion, with a couple more in the various beginning or planning stages at any one time," said Edinger. "That is, for now, our perfect scenario."
Among the new business that Comlux has added is a scheduled maintenance and cabin rework project on an Airbus ACJ319 operated by Jet Premier One in Kuala Lumpur. "We are proud to be selected by the government of Malaysia, and our team is looking forward to welcoming the aircraft to our premises next month," Edinger said.
And in the next decade? Edinger hinted that the company could consider performing widebody aircraft completions. "We have a layout of what that kind of facility would look like and land set aside, but we don't want to move too quickly. We are known for good quality and on-time deliveries and we want to grow slowly, so that we can keep focused on what our customers clearly want," he concluded.

106 Min. | Romance – Sci-Fi – Thriller | March 2011
IMDB Rating: 7.1
Director: George Nolfi
Staring: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Lisa Thoreson
The Adjustment Bureau Review: Fate, coincidence and free will come at odds with one another in this sci-fi romance re-imagined by George Nolfi from the short story, "Adjustment Team", by sci-fi legend Philip K. Dick. Nolfi's plot can go from interesting and intriguing to downright silly at times but the main attraction is not the narrative. The Adjustment Bureau is the pulsating chemistry between lead stars Matt Damon and the sensually beguiling Emily Blunt set in all the famous spots of Manhattan and NYC. Young Senate candidate for New York City, David Norris (Damon), is rehearsing his speech in the men's restroom when a beautiful stranger (Blunt, right, with Damon) emerges from one of the stalls and starts chatting with him. Before she leaves – in quite a hurry – they have an impulsive, passionate kiss, and he is smitten. Their next encounter in a city bus has to be by chance – and he learns that her name is Elise. He is determined to call her.
And then David comes across a bunch of Men in Black suits and hats, led by a Mr Richardson (John Slattery), who says bluntly, "We are the people who make sure things go according to plan." David's relationship with the free-spirited Elise is not part of their plan and he must not see her again – for both his and her own good. The rest of the movie is, of course, the tussle between Love and Fate for David. After being charmed by Elise, a rising star ballerina, we can understand why David is bent on seeing her. We can also understand how their relationship would possibly wreck their careers – and why David would want to take a chance on that. In The Adjustment Bureau, David and Elise seem so perfect for each other that we root for them.
The Adjustment Bureau, is good that Nolfi has written such a romantic angle into this Dick tale instead of turning it into another action flick like "Total Recall", "Paycheck" and "Screamers". He could have polished up a bit more on the second half to keep it from becoming childish, though. Still, the notion of Fates personified could not be taken too seriously – and it would be better to just go along with the flow of the love story so charmingly portrayed by Damon and Blunt – and supported by a sympathetic Anthony Mackie and menacing Terence Stamp as members of the Adjustment Bureau. Emily Blunt has such captivating eyes that look into your soul and make you weep. Overall, The Adjustment Bureau is an excellent film.

Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Doesn't Have Ugly Headlights
Last year, Alfa Romeo launched its 4C sports car at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and this year the Italian automaker returned with a 4C Spider variant, previewing the future convertible sports car.
The soft-top 4C Spider is scheduled to enter production next year and remains an ultra-lightweight, high-performance driving machine. To retain the Alfa Romeo 4C's focus and purity, the Italian automaker extensively used carbon fiber along with low-density Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC) to keep the 4C Spider lightweight and agile. But the most interesting component on the 4C Spider preview are the headlights. Perhaps the automaker listened to the feedback on the 4C's funky headlights and decided more traditional units is the way to go.
SEE ALSO: 2014 Geneva Motor Show Coverage
The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is designed by the Alfa Romeo Style Centre and given that structural reinforcement is required by safety regulations for open-top vehicles, the convertible will weigh more than its coupe counterpart. But through the use of all those lightweight materials previously mentioned, the 4C Spider is about 132 lbs heavier. In addition, Alfa Romeo teamed up with Akrapovic to design a unique dual-stage center-exit exhaust system for the 4C Spider.
Under the hood is the standard Alfa Romeo 4C's powerplant, a turbocharged 1,750 cc engine. It will have nearly identical performance to the 4C coupe, accelerating to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed in excess of 155 mph.

The European Union and future with the South Caucasus
The European Union (EU) has eyed the South Caucasus for the past two decades, and after the successful union expansion to parts of Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus could be next.
The European Union's relationship with the South Caucasus has been gaining traction ever since the initiation of the "Eastern Partnership" programme. Although the EU has no borders with the South Caucasus, the EU believes that it has a responsibility to play a role in the political and economic development of the region, ever since the region gained independence from the Soviets. The European Union's expansion plan has been continuously legitimised with platitudes regarding "peace", "security", "democracy" and "human rights".
The South Caucasus states' transitions to market economies naturally bring them closer to the European Union due to trade interests. Despite the platitudes, what is the reality behind the relationship between the EU and the South Caucasian states? It is essential to look at this relationship with the basis that the South Caucasian states have historically been unable to create their own alternatives and have felt obligated to choose between the great powers around them.
Georgia is the closest to integration with the EU out of the 3 South Caucasian states. This is largely down to the tenuous relationship that Georgia has with Russia. Due to Russia's involvement in the separatist-inclined states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, since the Russian-Georgian war of 2008. Georgia has been keen to express its "European" identity since the "Rose Revolution".
The pro-European direction set by former President Mikheil Saakashvili made future EU membership appear realistic. Recent developments show the EU implemented a visa-free travel regime for Georgia.
Georgia is the closest, in the South Caucasus, to a "liberal democracy" exercising the "rule of law". Georgian social values are closer to the "liberal"-leaning social values of Europe.
Armenia joined the Eurasian Economic Union in 2014, hurling a blow, to its relationship with the EU, as the country pivoted to Russian political and economic influence. The EU continues to play a significant role in Armenia.
An Association Agreement, a treaty between the EU and a non-member with the aim of improving cooperation, was in negotiations in 2013, but never implemented. A new plan for better cooperation is in negotiations and due to be implemented in 2017.
The EU plans to provide 7 million euros worth of financial support of electoral reform. The EU expressed its desire for a peaceful solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, that has indirect geopolitical consequences, for the EU and expanding capabilities.
Armenia's reliance on Russia for security, its participation in the Eurasian Economic Union and lack of "liberal democratic" credentials makes the country a weak candidate when compared to the "values" of the EU. Significantly, Armenia's geopolitical position as a "gateway" to the Middle East and Iran makes it a point of interest for the European Union.
Due to the huge revenues from oil reserves, Azerbaijan is the least-likely state to integrate with the EU. It is also the state with the least amount of "liberal democratic" values. This is due to a heavily oligopolistic economy, nepotistic political rule and mass human rights violations. However, Azerbaijan is an attractive ally for the EU because of its mineral riches.
Azerbaijan is sensitive in regards to its independence and sovereignty due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and its human rights violations. This has evinced the caution with which the Azerbaijani state approaches the European Union. And, to a certain extent, explains the rejection of Azerbaijan signing an Association Agreement with the EU.
The future
When the UK voted in favor of Brexit, the EU has been in a state of turmoil and in somewhat of an existential crisis. It is up to the EU whether to concentrate on solving its internal problems, especially with the rise of populistic and nationalistic sentiments across the continent, or to keep its eye expanding eastwards.
One of the main reasons for Brexit, is the issue of immigration and the influx of migrants from the eastern reaches of the EU, per the additions of Romania and Bulgaria. It is quite possible that further expansion eastwards could result in more unrest within the current borders of the EU.
The institutional pressures that membership expansions puts on the EU and its members are well documented, however the EU continues to entrench its influence on neighbouring non-member states in terms of spreading liberal ideology and interest in economic growth. Further expansion will irritate Russia, as it has done with the teasing of Ukraine and Georgia memberships.
Georgia is the most likely candidate from the South Caucasus to join the EU due to the domestic will, development of "liberal" values and fear of Russian political influence within the country. The political elites of Armenia and Azerbaijan are not as keen or politically inclined to join the EU. Armenia has its own geopolitical commitments already and Azerbaijan is able to stand on its own two feet economically, despite inequalities and political repression.
The European Union continues its activities within the South Caucasus, however, whether integration is possible in the future is dependent on the will of the EU to expand, taking into account its domestic problems, and the internal and geopolitical situations of the South Caucasian states.

An Army chaplain arrested last month on a charge of obscene Internet contact with a child was using a government computer at Fort Gordon to communicate with a south Georgia sheriff's investigator posing as a 14-year-old girl, authorities said Tuesday.
Lee County sheriff's Sgt. Tommy Goodwin said Lonnie Locke, an Army major, first contacted him Dec. 1 in an online chat room. Goodwin gave his age, sex and location as a 14-year-old girl in south Georgia, but told him to leave the conversation.
Locke continued contacting him throughout December and into January, Goodwin said Tuesday. At one point, Locke sent a nude video of himself, then shipped a Web camera in a dinosaur puzzle box to an address he believed belonged to the girl with instructions to do the same, Goodwin said.
Goodwin said a lot of the correspondence occurred in the morning, including at Locke's home in Columbia County and at his office at Fort Gordon. By the time he was arrested Jan. 18 on the Lee County charge, "we'd had multiple contacts at that point," Goodwin said.
The FBI was asked to get involved because some of the crime occurred on federal property, Goodwin said. He said he wasn't sure whether Columbia County or federal investigators have charges against Locke, but said Locke has one charge of obscene Internet contact with a child in Lee County.
Goodwin said Locke has posted bond.
"The man was very apologetic when I interviewed him," Goodwin said.
In another case, 2nd Lt. Brian Tepe, of Martinez, was arrested Feb. 3 at Fort Gordon by Greene County sheriff's investigators and the FBI. He was charged with obscene Internet contact with a child and electronically furnishing obscene material to minors as part of an undercover operation by the sheriff's office. His arrest is not connected to Locke's, Goodwin said.
A Greene County news release says that Tepe participated in online chats with a person he thought was a minor and that additional charges are possible.
Fort Gordon spokesman Buz Yarnell refused to comment Tuesday on theofficers' status at the post or whether military police at Fort Gordon were pursuing criminal charges. Neither the Columbia County Sheriff's Office nor the FBI has pressed charges against the suspects.
Army records show that Tepe, originally of North Dakota, joined in 1996 and was commissioned into Fort Gordon's Signal Corps on Oct. 1, 2011. Locke, a veteran of the war in Iraq, joined the Army in 1986 and became an officer and chaplain in 1993. He reported to Fort Gordon on June 1, 2010.
