Beach Boys' genius Brian WIlson (John Cusack) as two moments in his life, his creative heyday in the 60s and his 80s unravelling.
A thoughtful portrait of Beach Boys genius-in-residence Brian Wilson, Bill Pohlad's film flits between two distinct phases in Wilson's life: the '60s Wilson (Paul Dano), struggling with his demons to create his masterpiece, Pet Sounds, and the '80s Wilson (John Cusack), a broken, mentally ill man under the shady scrutiny of therapist Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti).
The film is great on the the realities of making music (watch Dano cajole cellists to get the right sound for Good Vibrations) but equally fascinating on Wilson's deterioration as Landy battles for his soul with girlfriend Melinda (Elizabeth Banks). Perfectly played by Dano and Cusack, it's the film Wilson's talent deserves: original, smart and affecting. And it goes without saying that the tunes are sublime.
This is the film Brian Wilsons talent deserves: original, smart and affecting.

Sabres sign 2 draftees, won't keep Hamel
'The Sabres will make qualifying offers before June 30 to their other 12 restricted free agents: forwards Eric Boulton, Curtis Brown, Tim Connolly, Ales Kotalik, Adam Mair, Taylor Pyatt and Miroslav Satan and defensemen Rory Fitzpatrick, Dmitri Kalinin, Jay McKee, Henrik Tallinder and Rhett Warrener. Boulton, Brown, Satan, Fitzpatrick, McKee and Warrener have arbitration rights. They must declare by July 15.'
Regier And Ruff Told Win, Or Else
'Regier acknowledged that this team got too young too fast and is looking for veteran leadership to come on board. Quinn and Ruff both described last year's performance as an "embarrassment."'
Ruff takes pay cut, stays with Sabres
'"I'm convinced we can make this a winner. I see what Tom has done in the business world (as the founder and CEO of Paychex Inc.). I'm also convinced this team lacked direction and Tom brings that."'
Roy gives Sabres talent infusion
'It is much too early to tell if Roy is destined to replace departed Michael Peca as the heart and soul of the Sabres, but he appears to have some of the right ingredients.'
Sabres sign Roy, Thorburn
'Thorburn is a rugged center who finished with 30 goals, 71 points and 124 penalty minutes in 64 games with Plymouth of the OHL last season.'
Sabres coach Ruff, GM Regier to remain with team
'"We need to come to a balance," Golisano said. "We want to win. We have an obligation to the fans to do the best we can, we have an obligation to the players and staff and we have to blend everything together to make something that is viable. The moves to keep Darcy and Lindy take us in that direction. I think these guys have the talent and capability."'
Sabres retain Regier as GM, Ruff as coach
'Calling last year an "embarrassment," Sabres' managing partner Larry Quinn said after an "objective analysis" that both Regier and Ruff stack up well as talent evaluators compared to their peers across the National Hockey League.'
Buffalo inks Derek Roy
'The OHL's Rookie of the Year in 2000, Roy notched 28 goals and 78 assists in 49 games for Kitchener in 2002-03. He also helped Canada win a silver medal at the World Junior Hockey Championships last year.'
Sabres retain coach and GM
'Although Regier had four years left on a six-year deal, there were public questions surrounding his future with the team before Wednesday's endorsement from Golisano and managing partner Larry Quinn.'

The Long Beach State men's basketball team ended its three-game losing skid in Titan Gym on Saturday night as the 49ers defeated Cal State Fullerton 81-71. Behind double-double performances from James Ennis and Keala King, LBSU extended its win streak to five games and remained in first-place in the Big West (10-8, 6-1). Fullerton falls to 10-8 (3-3 Big West).
Ennis notched his third double-double of the season and extended his double-digit scoring streak to 23 games with tonight's performance where he led the team with 23 points, 19 of which came in the second half. Ennis also had three assists, two steals and was 11-of-12 from the free throw line. He and King led the team with 11 rebounds each, while King posted his second double-double of the season, adding 12 points. Tonight's performance is the second straight game King has scored in double-digits.
For the fifth consecutive game, four 49ers scored in double digits. Mike Caffey tallied his seventh straight game in double-digit scoring with 14, while adding five rebounds and five assists. Deng Deng rounded out the top scorers, chipping in 15, while grabbing six boards.
Long Beach absolutely dominated the rebound game, grabbing a season-high 51 compared to CSUF's 31. They held a Fullerton team that averaged over 80 points per contest to just 71 points and 39% shooting.
"This team grew a lot this week," said Head Coach Dan Monson. "These were character wins for these guys. In both games, we got behind on the road and lost momentum, but they were able to trust each other and pull together to win. This is only the third week these guys have played together as a team and I think their chemistry is really starting to show.
"It was great to see James have such an impressive performance since he's been a little frustrated lately. He showed why he's our best player down the stretch."
The game saw 16 lead changes, six of those coming in the second-half. With 7:39 left in the game, the Titans would take the lead at 60-59, but LBSU didn't let that lead last long as they went ahead 62-60 after a free throw by Deng and layup by King.
Fullerton tied the game at 62 all with 6:24 remaining, but LBSU retook the lead after a three by Deng (65-62). The 49ers then went on a 13-6 run to push their lead to 10 (78-68) with just over one minute to play. CSUF would close to within seven, but the 49ers proved to be too much as they would go on to win by 10, 81-71.
The 49ers led by as many as nine in the first half (34-25), assisted by threes from Peter Pappageorge and Deng. They out-rebounded the Titans 25-15 in the first-half, while holding Fullerton to just 34% shooting from the field (LBSU shot 44%).
Long Beach State will return home next Saturday to face UC Irvine in a Black & Blue Rivalry Series game, presented by Duke's Restaurant and Barefoot Bar. Tip-off is slated for 4:05 pm.

Lady Justice (Latin: Justitia, the Roman goddess of Justice, who is equivalent to the Greek goddess Dike) is an allegorical personification of the moral force in judicial systems.[1][2]
The personification of justice balancing the scales of truth and fairness dates back to the Goddess Maat, and later Isis, of ancient Egypt. The Hellenic deities Themis and Dike were later godesses of justice. Themis was the embodiment of divine order, law, and custom, in her aspect as the personification of the divine rightness of law. However, a more direct connection is to Themis' daughter Dike, who was portrayed carrying scales
- "If some god had been holding level the balance of Dike"
is an image in a surviving fragment of Bacchylides's poetry. Ancient Rome adopted the image of a female goddess of justice, which it called Justitia. Since Roman times, Justitia has frequently been depicted carrying scales and a sword, and wearing a blindfold. Her modern iconography frequently adorns courthouses and courtrooms, and conflates the attributes of several goddesses who embodied Right Rule for Greeks and Romans, blending Roman blindfolded Fortuna (fate) with Hellenistic Greek Tyche (luck), and sword-carrying Nemesis (vengeance).
Justitia is most often depicted with a set of scales typically suspended from her left hand, upon which she measures the strengths of a case's support and opposition. She is also often seen carrying a double-edged sword in her right hand, symbolizing the power of Reason and Justice, which may be wielded either for or against any party.
Since the 15th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favor, regardless of identity, money, power, or weakness; blind justice and impartiality. The earliest Roman coins depicted Justitia with the sword in one hand and the scale in the other, but with her eyes uncovered.[3] Justitia was only commonly represented as "blind" since about the end of the 15th century. The first known representation of blind Justice is Hans Gieng's 1543 statue on the Gerechtigkeitsbrunne'n (Fountain of Justice) in Berne.[4]
Instead of using the Janus approach, many sculptures simply leave out the blindfold altogether. For example, atop the Old Bailey courthouse in London, a statue of Lady Justice stands without a blindfold;[5] the courthouse brochures explain that this is because Lady Justice was originally not blindfolded, and because her "maidenly form" is supposed to guarantee her impartiality which renders the blindfold redundant.[6] Another variation is to depict a blindfolded Lady Justice as a human scale, weighing competing claims in each hand. An example of this can be seen at the Shelby County Courthouse in Memphis, Tennessee.[7]
- ↑ Hamilton, Marci. God vs. the Gavel, page 296 (Cambridge University Press 2005): "The symbol of the judicial system, seen in courtrooms throughout the United States, is blindfolded Lady Justice."
- ↑ Fabri, Marco. The challenge of change for judicial systems, page 137 (IOS Press 2000): "the judicial system is intended to be apolitical, its symbol being that of a blindfolded Lady Justice holding balanced scales."

In your case, if the ticket really is in error then maybe you've got something to go on. I don't really know for sure. But if you are actually guilty, this will work at least it does in MD.

I don't know, but I've always had luck by going to court and pleading guilty and not making excuses. Just plead guilty and that's it. I still get the fine, but it's usually reduced, and they take the points away via "probation before judgement". The points are what matter most. The idea is they'll take the points away, but if you get another ticket during the probation period, then you get those points, plus any points from the new ticket. So, like, don't get caught again. LOL. Mind you this only works if you don't have any tickets already on your record. Also, I don't know for sure if they have this in other states. I'm in MD.
In your case, if the ticket really is in error then maybe you've got something to go on. I don't really know for sure. But if you are actually guilty, this will work at least it does in MD.
I've had similar experiences...
in Both Maine (ME) and Connecticut (CT) I've gotten tickets, appealed the ticket so that I'd get a date in traffic court and both times I showed up the prosecutor or whomever was in charge told me if I plead guilty and was able to pay that day I'd only have to pay 50% of the face value of the speeding ticket...
worth a try I guess

+1. Make sure some nip is showing.
Ok, serious answer: contest it and hope the issuing officer can't make it to the court date for whatever reason. (Hint: don't arrange an illegal distraction for the entire PD during that time slot).

Cops get paid to go to court. Unless they screwed up and wrote your court date during a planned vacation of theirs, they get paid to show up there and sit for a couple of hours or however long it takes to get to your traffic case. Sounds better than doing real police work. Also, cops usually set up the tickets so that your traffic court date doesn't fall during their vacation. It's pretty hard to get the cop not to show up.
You're going to lose, OP. The cop is going to walk in and recite a statement about what lane he saw you in, when his radar or lidar device was last calibrated (assuming he used one... if not he's going to recite how he paced you), what lane he saw you were in, the speed limit for that road/lane, how much you exceeded it by, etc. etc. etc. You're going to say "No wai that happened judge!" Judge is going to say "It's this police officer's job to be truthful and its his job to do traffic stops for speeding like this. Why shouldn't I believe him?" You'll say "Uh... because... because." She'll find you guilty and you'll have to pay the fine and if available in your state, go to traffic school to get the points taken off your record if you qualify.

I'd say go for it. My boss got a ticket for something very similar, and actually went in to court with a map and explained how there was no way he should have been ticketed. He won his case, but the issuing officer was not present(that obviously always helps if you are trying to plead your case).
Problem is, whether it was a 55 or 65 zone, he was still speeding. If the cop ticketed him for a 65 in a 55 this could work. But I don't think the judge will be too impressed with you pleading not guilty because you were only speeding by 10 MPH, not 20.
I second show up to court. Don't lie, I've had two tickets. I didn't plead guilty but pled no contest. Which the judge immediately found me guilty. But in both cases I got like 70% of the amount I owed dropped. Plus he gives you a chance to speak, so then you could ask for fewer points because of the MPH discrepancy.

Just got my second this past Friday actually. Some asshole pulled out in front of me and so I went around him, and in accelerating to pass him apparently I was "speeding". Luckily since the last one didn't count for anything, I just have to pay the ticket and a fee (195.00) and I can take an online drivering school course. Provided I do that, I'll get "court supervision" for 3 months. If no tix between now and the end of the "supervision" it doesn't go on my record, like it never happened. I assume that also means I don't get "points" towards my insurance.
Hopefully your state has something similar. I'd say it's too much of a gamble to rely on the officer not showing up to court.

I would contest it if you think you were in the right. If the officer that wrote you the ticked is a no-show then you automatically win. In case he does show, make sure you go over your "case" beforehand so you are prepared. Know what you want to say and how you want to present yourself and the "facts"...
If you dont think you can win it, or think the odds are not in your favor, then I would mitigate the ticket. All you have to do then is go to your court date and speak to the judge. He will ask you basically what happened, where you would explain yourself (e.g. if it was an accident and you didnt know you were speeding, etc.). It usually doesnt matter what you tell them, as long as you show up for the court date, the judge will almost always drop the fine down to the minimum in my experience. The officer who ticketed you has no obligation to appear at a mitigation, as you are basically pleading guilty and asking for a reduced fine when selecting this option. [As an example, when I got a speeding ticket I was obviously speeding. I chose to mitigate, went to my court date, and just told the judge that I was running late for work and that is why I may have been going a little faster than normal. We both kind of chuckled and then he dropped the ticked down from $150 to $75 - the minimum here.]
Just FYI: I have had friends get off on speeding tickets simply because the officer that ticketed them did not show up to the court date (when they contested the ticket). It happens...so dont be shocked if you contest and the officer is a no-show.

you gotta give him a bad look.
Then when he's almost finished writing,
reach over & snatch it outta his hands!
Tell him you're gonna check it over for mistakes!
And then when you're done,
crumble it up and throw it at his feet! And then say..
'Fxck you!! And your ticket, too!!

If you are good friends with a lawyer have them email the circuit court or whoever takes care of it and enter a "plea agreement" with them. My brothers best friend is a lawyer and he did that for me. I didn't have to worry about taking the driving school. I just paid the fine
This guy is right, lawyer is the way to go. I got a ticket for 20 over and the lawyer got it knocked down to 9 over so no points. The extra 120 bucks it cost me for the lawyer was worth it because I didn't have to worry about missing work and he handled everything related to the case.

day 1... what is your plea
if you say you did not do it the judge could say.... okay your hearing is set for xxxxxxxxx
meaning your going to miss 2 days of works and not one..
i got pulled over for a seatbelt and knew i was in the right..
i had a hearing on jan 2011
went down here went in front of the judge and was told i had to come back may of 2011 for the hearing but then all of a sudden the other side dismissed the charges (probally wasnt worth them spending the time to set up a case for 25 bucks
but if they didnt drop it i would of had to come back TWICE not once
first time is to say you didnt to it THEN They set up a time for the case

But yeah, if you can prove it, go to court. If the cop doesn't show, you get off free. If he does, you seem to have enough proof to get the judge to void the ticket and make the cop look like an idiot.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 05:08 AM
Are you speeding? The answer is basically yes from what you have given. You were moving at 75mph in a 65mph zone anyways, doesn't matter if you have changed into the 55mph speed limit zone since you are already considered speeding in the 65mph zone.
So on my way to work this morning on a major highway (I-85) for those in GA, when I start to get off at my exit, let me explain too that this is not a normal exit, it pretty much exits off onto 3 diff roads. 85 speed limit is 65 and the side road/exit is 55. So I'm on 85 going with traffic at 70 or so mph and start to get off at my exit and bam, less than two hundred feet on the right hand side, a motorcycle cop is sitting there and pointed at me to pull over. So I pull over and he just asks for my license and says I was doing 75 in a 55 and I told him "no way" and he just writes the ticket and is on his way. If you see the map below and look up near the top where it says 85 and 109, that's the lane I was moving into. There are three (heck, may be four) exits on that side road and mine is the second so I know to slow down since I've been going that road for over 5 years. So do I go to court and try to explain to the judge that there is no way the cop got me doing 75 in a 55 since I wasn't even in the 55 zone when he popped me. Sorry, this was longer than I expected. Got the ticket, was on my way to the bank and lunch and boom, flat tire, had to change it while it lightly rained. Didn't even go back to work..lol. Knew karma was out to get me. Thx for the rant.
You would win this argument probably if it was about him ticketing you in a 55mph zone instead of a 65mph zone. But this is a speeding ticket, and it all comes down to if you were speeding or not.
I would advise you to go to court and admit you were speeding but tell them it was in the 65mph zone instead of the 55mph zone, this way you are not over the speed limit by 20mph. Don't lie to the judge, he probably heard every story imaginable, tell the truth and they will most likely go easy on the fine.

My wife and I recently updated our wills with the help of Bill Nichols. He was wise and helpful, and we are very pleased with the entire process. Very professional.
Posted by anonymous
We engaged Atty Nichols in order to obtain an opinion about the purchase of a property located in Idaho by a trustee. We needed information regarding the ownership by the trust, payment of various expenses, leasing requirements, use of a mortgage, and proper indemnification, all within the context of the community property statutes of Idaho. We had a very short time frame within which to work.
Atty Nichols responded exceedingly promptly. He provided accurate, concise answers, and explained the impact of each of these issues on community property law. He also drafted a document to protect the trust.
When additional facts came to light that changed the circumstances surrounding the purchase, Atty Nichols again responded very promptly and explained how to address the matter. He also provided additional advice regarding potential future issues which we had not considered. We especially appreciated his foresight in addressing these matters.
An attorney who can take the time on short notice to provide extensive advice to a new client is unique. An attorney who can make what appears to be a very complex issue clearly understandable by communicating at the client's level of understanding is rarer still.
We hightly recommend Attorney Nichols. We expect to engage his services again when we take the next step in the process to create an protective entity within the trust for holding the real estate.

My mother has needed help with her finances and overall well-being for many years. She let me know that she was ready to let me help her by going to see a lawyer to create a general durable power of attorney, a living will and durable power of attorney for healthcare, HIPAA paperwork, authorization to release financial information and living will and testament. My aunt had recommended me to William Nichols. So, I contacted his law office and was able to quickly receive answers and make an appointment. It is key to work with people that would make my mother feel comfortable with such a large step in her life. William and his team were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Also, they directed all questions directly to her in a calm, sincere and clear manner, which I think let her understand that she was in charge of the process. I am finally able to help my mother, communicate with her doctors and take care of her finances. Also, we have sorted out ahead of time answers to questions that would be hard to take care of later on in life. I am very grateful for this and I would recommend William Nichols to anyone.

Croatia is a difficult country to emigrate to if you do not read and understand Croatian, as there are a number of forms that are required that are only available in Croatian. The laws pertaining to Croatian citizenship are difficult to navigate; they were put in place in the wake of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, and have many different provisions for the various states of citizenship that refugees may be in.
Determine your background as a Croatian descendant. This can apply to you if: both parents are Croatian citizens; one parent is a citizen and you were born in Croatia; one parent is a citizen, the other parent is stateless and you were born abroad; one parent is a citizen, the other is a foreign citizen and you were born abroad and registered as a resident of Croatia; you would be left stateless; or, finally, if you were adopted by Croatian citizens.
Determine if you were born on Croatian soil if both of your parents are stateless. This is an option for people under age 14, but your citizenship will be revoked at age 14 if your parents are found to have foreign citizenship.
Follow the naturalization process if you have no Croatian heritage. This requires you to renounce all other citizenship, have lived in Croatia for at least five years, be at least 18 years old, be familiar with the Croatian alphabet and language, and demonstrate respect for Croatian culture, customs and laws.
A facilitated naturalization process is available to those with five years of Croatian residence and who have demonstrated respect for Croatian law and culture.
Marry a Croatian citizen. Along with displaying respect for Croatian laws and culture, this is among the easiest routes to Croatian citizenship.
Show proof of emigration from Croatia. A clause in Croatian law exists that allows Croatian emigrants and their spouses to become citizens. There is no specific clause that allows for descendants of emigrants to become citizens, though you may be granted citizenship if you can show official documentation that links you to the emigrant.
Become a vital member of Croatian society. The ministry can deem your citizenship to be in the best interest of the Republic of Croatia, although the law does not state exactly what this entails.
Provide a written statement that you consider yourself to be a Croatian citizen and respect the laws and culture of the Republic of Croatia without residing in the country. This is a vague clause that will likely be evaluated by the Ministry of the Interior.

It All Started Here
On the morning of September 12, 1866, forty-nine students attended the first day of classes at the University of Kansas. The number of students enrolled would climb to fifty-five by week's end…twenty-six ladies and twenty-nine men. Although annual tuition was a whopping $30, the students were not really ready to attend college as they had a hodge-podge of education under their belts. So, what would turn into a great university, started out more like a high school. The students were not prepared for college and would take college prep courses instead of college level coursework. It would take until 1873 for the first group of students to become University of Kansas graduates.

Stone tables in the Kavkaz
More than 5000 years ago, old builders from Caucasus made dolmens, buildings made of filigree cut and joined huge stone blocks. Nobody knows which was their purpose. Dolmens (in translation "stone tables") are small buildings which remind of the bird houses. Harmoniously placed in the nature around Black sea and westCaucasus. But, they are not just the stones clusters, but the buildings risen by jeweller precision, and some of them are 5000 years old. On westCaucasuswas discovered and described around 2300 dolmens. Most of them are in the area of Gelendžika, Novorosiyskaya and Shapsugska. Around 150 of these objects are totally or partially preserved. However, despite big number of these artefacts, the history of their origin stays the secret. It is only known that the time of their construction, stated by the method of radio active carbon used on the samples of organic origin from dolmen's rooms.
It was stated that dolmens on west Caucasus are built in the period from 3500 and 1400 year before new era. If you ask the locals about the origin of dolmens, they will most probably tell you the legend about the dwarfs who used to live here. They were so small that they used the rabbits for riding. As it was in fairy tales, not far from them the giants lived as well, who built the stone houses for their weak neighbours to hide from bad weather. As the people for some reasons have the need to explain esoteric explanation of how dolmens became, there were the believes , of course without proof, that the dolmens were created by aliens and gave them magic powers which solve love problems or heal disease. Explorers who studied those buildings offered hypothesis on their purpose, from which only two stayed till now. They could have presented or places or tribe rituals or tombs, separate of family ones. During the extraction in many of them were found humans remains who used to live in this area in different periods. Apart from them, there were discovered different things intended for dead ones.
There are many types of dolmens: 1. Plate dolmens most often have four walls, roof and the floor which consists of one big and few smaller plates. The room is in square or trapezoidal shape. In the plates there are gutters which firmly connect all plates. Front plate, framed with side blocks, and pointed marquee shape front entrance. 2. Composite dolmens partly or fully consist of small separate blocks. They have complicated geometrical compounds, and the shape of the room can be different: square, trapezoidal, horse shoe, round or multi square.4. Monolithic dolmens carved from one block of stone or rock and they are very rare. Old builders rose dolmens made of blocks of quartz schist. The weight of every building is between 15 to 30 tones. This should point to the fact that in west Caucasus existed quarries, but there are still no traces which would confirm that, so there is not the explanation how this huge stones were transported to building site because there were no proper roads at that time for such heavy cargo, if it wasn't close to quarries.
Main question remains how the old architects counted the dimension of the plate considering the fact that they were not connected on flat surface, but because of that were made special, top precision grooves. Joins between plates were so narrow that between them the blade of knife can't go in. The fact that the oldest buildings don't have primitive but complex structure is amazing. Dolmens on the mountain Neksis and close to river Zana in the region Gelendzik are the best examples of this top building technology. Today is almost impossible to build precision joined construction. At the attempt to reconstruct dolmens, it was shown that it is almost impossible without the mistake connect those few tones heavy stone blocks. But, in year 2007 started the building of one dolmens of blocks ruined in safari park in Gelendzik, with the aim that the procession and construction of blocks were done by the most perfect electronic equipment. They have made the conclusion that the builders from bronze period were more advanced because the blocks of newly built dolmens stayed apart for few centimeters. When it is the word about the builders who used these perfect technologies, according to Vladimir Markovina, archaeologist who spend big part of his life studying Caucasus dolmens, these people lived in the hut of mud, didn't know steel or pottery wheel and they cultivated the land with the a hoe. Even though they rose buildings which can be admired in our time.

SANTIAGO – Is inflation targeting – the rule that most of the world's major central banks (though not the United States Federal Reserve) use to set interest rates – in its death throes? Many analysts seem to think so.
Mark Carney, currently Governor of the Bank of Canada, has not even taken over his new job at the helm of the Bank of England, yet he has already announced that he might change the BoE's policy anchor. In Japan, the Liberal Democrats won December's general election after having promised a more expansionary monetary policy. And in the US, the Fed has announced that it will keep interest rates low until unemployment reaches 6.5%.
None of this is as new as it seems. Among rich countries, inflation targeting has been on its way out since the 2008-2009 financial crisis. The large-scale asset purchases carried out by the European Central Bank, for example, have little to do with any definition of inflation targeting.
But inflation targeting has also been losing its hold on policymakers in emerging-market economies. Starting in the 1990's, central banks in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, South Africa, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and Turkey adopted varieties of the scheme. But things changed with the global financial crisis. In joint research with Roberto Chang and Luis Felipe Céspedes, we show that all inflation-targeting central banks in Latin America have used a range of non-conventional policy tools, including currency-market interventions and changes in reserve requirements. Again, this is a far cry from the textbook version of inflation targeting.

Please Need Turntable Advice Asap!
Decorating By Jopalis Updated 25 Sep 2008 , 1:39am by Bijoudelanuit
I want to use coupon to get a turntable at Michaels this week. I have 50% off coupon. Are any of the Wilton turntables any good? I have heard horror stories about the tilting one but maybe cake has to be secured better...??? I just have inexpensive non-pedestal plastic one from class years ago.... I know you will have good advice! Thank you thank you!!!
There was a thread on this not too long ago. Maybe someone has the link and can post it for you. I know that the vote was definitely do not buy the tilting one. That it wasn't the cake being secured. And I want to say that no one really liked the next one down either. But I could be wrong about that. Anyway, I'm sure that someone else will post on here and be able to answer your question. I just have the basic white plastic one and it fulfills my needs right now. =o)
I used that same coupon to buy the square pan set that I've been needing for a long time.
My turntable is a simple "lazy-susan" thing from walmart - $5 and it works PERFECTLY. I can stack it on top of anything I need to make it taller (I'm 5'9") Use that coupon on what you want, but you might find something that works fine for a turntable elsewhere!
Look for the thread "what piece of equipment do you regret buying" . . . .there's TONS to say about the tilting turntable. Happy shopping!!!
I used my 50% off coupon today too...to buy a fondant rolling pin
I have the Wilton The Trim 'n Turn® Ultra, and I really like it for decorating my cakes. I decorate as a hobby mostly, so I don't see the point of spending too much on a fancy smanchy turn table right now.
I have the Wilton Professional table and it's fabulous! I've had it for at least 8 years, it's survived home use and bakery use.. and some idiot in a restaurant that I used to work with who would pick it up from the top and slide it off the shelf... it's been used and abused and it still works perfectly. It's more pricy than the other ones, but I think it's the best option for long term use.
I did buy a tilted one, but returned it the day after I bought it. It was very poorly constructed, not stable. I didn't trust it so I put an empty cake pan on the top and the top fell right off!

Magnus Nmonwu, regional director for Sage West Africa, has reiterated the Company's resolve to give 'voice' to entrepreneurs in West Africa through its robust accounting software.
He made the remark during an interview with Nigeria CommunicationsWeek in Lagos recently, adding that Sage's decision to offer its software at a rate as low as N4000 was aimed at assisting entrepreneurs in the West African market leverage opportunities in their environment.
Nmonwu, with more than 14 years' experience in consulting for Multinational and National companies in the areas of Taxation, Payroll Administration and Business Compliance, presently focuses on business and sales development related activities; supporting the SSB, SMB and Enterprise team with a view to increase new customers acquisition in the region.
Before joining Sage, Nmonwu was the Unit Head of the IES, PAYE and Payroll Outsourcing group at KPMG Professional Services in Nigeria.
In this interview with Peter Oluka, he explained how Sage's software can assist Entrepreneurs in the West African market leverage opportunities in their environment. Except.
As A Nigerian Leading Sage West Africa
I really don't look at it as different. I worked at KPMG for 13 years. There, I also rose to the top having joined at the entry level.
So, working at Sage is a more or less continuing my carrier like in KPMG but in a bigger platform; so, I have a lot of responsibilities now. For the fact that I have so many people to report to in-country makes it a lot more interesting.
I tend to be accountable at all times in all my actions and decision-making processes. Therefore, it is an exciting opportunity to be part of the team leading the voice of entrepreneurs in this region.
How Sage Views Nigeria's Business Climate in Period of Recession
The reality with recession in the country is that most organizations are looking to creating efficiencies in their systems. No business wants to close shop, all of a sudden.
That idea to entrench efficiency in the system comes with the opportunity to infuse certain solutions that can help create visibilities for the decision makers; enabling them to have information to make crucial business decisions even on the go.
For us at the Sage, I wouldn't say we are not been hit by the recession, because we spend in the same market like every other person in the country.
But, in terms of Sage business, it has been as usual. Companies are still acquiring our software to ensure they can operator more efficient. They need those business tools to guide them and Sage is here to provide them with such solutions.
Sage's Presence in Nigeria
Our team is recruited from the 'local' market. By virtue of our culture in Sage, anywhere our office is located we tend to recruit the nationals.
Our office in East Africa is led by a Kenyan. On how we leverage the environment, we also tend to get involved with events happening in our immediate environs.
Recently, we joined the Lagos State Chamber of Commerce and Industries (LCCI) technology forum. We publish informative and educating articles via the news media; we continue to contribute our thought leadership into the activities of businesses in our areas.
This cuts across areas we operate. We are also identifying individuals whom we, after training them, 'push' them to businesses to succeed. We have about three business partners who have adopted the skilled manpower we produce.
Areas of Focus in 2017
Cloud is one, because we found out some companies lack the financial capacity to get into an IT environment which requires servers, a team of IT personnel to help them drive the infrastructure. Cloud affords small businesses the opportunity to run IT management tool seamlessly.
With Sage cloud solutions they will remain update, or do not have to fear about legislations that necessitate change.
So, one of the things we are doing in terms of innovation is that we are working on software for account, but not necessarily for accountants only.
Like the Sage X3 you do necessarily need to have prerequisite training to use it. The user interface and the language are in simplified form. The flow chat allows easier navigation.
How Sage Reaches Out to SMEs, Others
Sage is actually doing a lot in the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) space. Sage is the market leader for integrated accounting, payroll and HR systems. Our heritage points to the fact Sage started as a small business too.
The couple started the business way back in Newcastle and it has transcended to having 14,000 employees operating in 23 countries.
We believe strongly that small business power world leading economies and there is no effort that any government puts with regards process, infrastructure or skill acquisition that is a waste. Sage has a solution meant for SMEs segment in the market.
It is the cheapest account solution anywhere in the world. In Nigeria it sells for as low as N4000. In the recent ICAN conference in Abuja (Nigeria), where over 4000 chartered accountants converged, the event was co-sponsored by Sage while Sage One accounting was the solution pitched at the event. You don't need to be an accountant or requiring any IT infrastructure to use it; all you need is a device and connectivity.
Secondly, I do not agree that the only challenge of businesses is Finance. Finance is key, but that is not the basic.
There are certain businesses doing very well today, but started without much financing. The major problem with businesses is knowledge; in the sense that some SMEs do not even know how many people owe them and vice versa.
Building Smart Business Environment
I have been to Fidelity Bank's SME programme and other relevant platforms, and the focus has been: the opportunities are out there, our people perish for lack of knowledge.
That is a Biblical quotation that translates to business environment today. If you know there is software you need to empower your business and enforce efficiency, why not go for it. So people waste man-hours, energy and resources on simply things that technology can easily do for you.
How can you pitch for a business in Badagry and your office is in Victoria Island; you want to commute to VI to process the documents, make order and deliver. Sage is saying 'save your strength'.
With Sage smart technology in your palms, right from the entry to enterprise level solution you do not need to be at the office to use them. As long as you have internet, you can sit at Badagry there, place the order, check your inventory level, and even initiate delivery of the product, raise the invoice and print it.
You close the deal and pursue other ones on your way back to Victoria Island. So, we create opportunities for customers and businesses to do what they know how to do best. So, Sage tries to be the core solution to make businesses successful.
Our entry level solution is web-based and easy to use. Recently, we partnered with a bank to reach out to SMEs in Alaba Int'l market, (Lagos), Enugu and several other places; the aim has been the introduction of software to businesses.
Also in Ghana, we have written article concerning the elections, advising that whoever takes over should have two things.
Create policies and enabling environment to spur up businesses in Ghana. Secondly, the Government needs solutions to ensure accountability in State affairs.
Pirated Software and the Risks Involved
The reality is that in our environment we can't completely eradicate software piracy. But, what we are hoping to achieve that we should be able to minimize it.
When people use software that is not authorized chances are your system can easily be hacked leading to data loss.
Even when there are changes in legislation you do not get the necessary update. Also, if you have problem today that requires legal intervention, you wouldn't know who to sue.
Nigerians travel a lot and when they buy over the shelve software, bringing it into the country, they certainly operate for a while, but they are not meant for this environment. Our software is uniquely designed for Nigerian users; tailored for the environment.
Advice to Entrepreneurs
They should get their hands bus; do not disperse the little beginning. They can get self employment or sign up for internship programmee, hopefully for the first couple of months without pay.
But, we are assuming that when you do get in there and add value you will certainly be admitted. There are some government programmes out there to leverage on.
The reality is that at some point in everybody's carrier, people tilt towards entrepreneurship. Those who have ideas can work meet those with necessary infrastructure as to raise funds.
Partnership is key too in setting up something. They can leverage our internship programme too where 45 people benefited this year. We are supporting them, but my comment is do not disperse the little beginning.

capital punishment whereby a group throws stones at a person until the person dies. No individual among the group can be identified as the one who kills the subject. This is in contrast to the case of a judicial executioner. Stoning is slower than other forms of execution, and hence is a form of execution by torture
Stoning In The Machinima Industry Was Also Used By The Deadly Alliance To Execute Phazon Pete In Order To Destroy His Antibody, His Antibody Remained Immortal Until The Real Phazon Pete Died, Then The Anti Phazon Pete Died As Well. In The Machinima Industry, The Stoning Was Well Used For Incorrect Fetishes As Well. So Shadow And His Gang Would Use A Stoning Execution As Anybody's Punishment.

|Servlets Q. Way to invoke method upon dropped socket?
|Thu, 03 Jan 2002 03:41:43 GMT
Ok, This is a bit of a servlet question vs. Tomcat, although I suppose Tomcat (4.0) could have special support for such a feature. Is there a way to have a method invoked upon loss of the HTTP socket? (Where the method invoked is in a servlet, jsp, or listener class even) So, if a user closes his browser window, and the socket gets closed, I really want to do some cleanup without having to try to do it <later> by looking at a session attribute.

The Cowgirls (7-6) host San Jose State (7-5), at 6:30 p.m. MT on Thursday, followed by Fresno State (9-2) at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
"There are a number of things that make it a little more competitive than the first four weeks of play," UW head coach Chad Callihan said. "Conference play is different, but there is a little bit of familiarity with teams that you play twice every year. It still comes down to execution and making the plays that you need to in order to win. We know we typically play well at home, and what we want to become is a good road team as well. We had the idea that Idaho would be a challenge, so to come away with a win on their home court was a good thing for us. These next two teams are definitely good teams with different styles. It is a good opportunity for us to see where we are at looking ahead for the rest of the year."
Thursday's match against the Spartans is fraternity and sorority life night, while Saturday's match will feature the Mike English Award. Presented by Nancy English, the award will be given to the senior with the highest grade-point average.
