It was always going to be a dangerous mission. Trevor Churchill's brainchild, THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICAN POP, had been in development for some time and the prototype was about to be launched into the fray with a bundle of seemingly undifferentiated repertoire. The potential embarrassment factor was high with risk of heavy flak on the way and snipers on the ground in the landing zone. Trevor was calling for volunteers. There was a lot of nervous shuffling among the ranks. Some of the lads took to studying their toecaps, while others took an inordinate interest in the state of their cuticles, or tried to look inconspicuous by melting into the background.
The buckle-polishers and skirt-swirlers are back! Presenting 28 rare goodies from Louisiana and South East Texas. The variant of rock'n'roll that emanated from the Gulf Coast of South Louisiana and South East Texas in the 1950s-60s is as evocative of the area as chicken gumbo, crawfish étouffée and red beans and rice. The youthful Cajuns of the period threw themselves into r'n'r like teenagers across the globe, but had additional influences, not just the hillbilly and blues that created rockabilly, but the ethnic music of their parents and, most telling, the R&B sounds carried over the airwaves from New Orleans.
This high quality 8 CD box contains 7 One Artist albums, the most important Motown artists (Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson & Jackson 5, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Lionel Richie & The Commodores, Mavin Gaye, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and The Temptations) and CD with the biggest hits of other Motown sizes.

We are a manufacturing company north of Seattle. North of Everett to be more precise. We have a SQL Server that was configured for us by a group of consultants in October of 2007. That was before any of us here on site knew anything about SQL.
We are slightly more informed now. For example, we know that we ought to have our data files on a different disk than our log files, and that our peroformance would very likely improve dramatically from that configuration change. At present though, we do not have the capacity to do that.
So we are looking to upgrade our server. In the process, I like to imagine that our existing server might be beefed up to serve as a sort of D/R type of backup device.
But these are all just semi educated guesses on my part.
How would I go about identifying an appropriate consultant to help us configure a new server appropriate for our usage?

Hi Kathleen - I'm pretty sure Dice.com and monster.com places consultants, and I'd imagine there would be a ton near Seattle. Those are 2 of the top IT job sites...
Apr 13, 2011 at 10:16 UTC
Dell is pretty good at working with businesses to see what fits your need, but you just have to keep in mind that they are a vendor and they do want to make money.
You can start at their SQL Solutions page.
They have a tool to help spec out a SQL Server but it seems to be down right now.
That's just one option available to you. We use Dell and have been happy for the most part.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Be very careful, hiring a SQL pro will NOT get you the skills that you mention in your post (where to put the data files, for example.) A SQL person is a programmer (SQL is a language.) So getting someone who writes in SQL is not going to get you a DBA (database admin) which appears to be the skills that you are looking for.
If you have ANY question about what you need, you should not be hiring - get a consulting firm who brings all of the necessary skills to the table. You'll need a company that understands the complete picture. Without knowing enough to do the job internally, you will be struggling to find the right person, vet them and determine their suitability.
Likely what you are looking for is an MS SQL Server DBA. Very different from a SQL person - who may have never worked directly on a database and might never have written for SQL Server.
Apr 13, 2011 at 11:26 UTC
The way I read this is that the "configuration" is the kicker, and you could go about that by finding a consultant or with Dell.
PASS (Professional Organization for SQL Server) has a chapter up there and there may be some resource in that. http://pugetsound.sqlpass.org/
You may be able to contact the group's president (Ron Talmage) to see if he could put you in touch with someone.
Apr 13, 2011 at 11:29 UTC
Just to echo what Scott mentioned: You need a DBA.
Just like any other position, develop a job description that identifies specifically what your needs are. If you are not sure, go to job sites or other company's job section and look up what a DBA job description is and make sure it is covering everything you need done. You can use this as a template to narrow what you do need if you dont need all of it.
Also, go to DBA web resource websites such as SQLServerCentral.com and post a job openening. In this economy, you may be able to net a great resource. Good luck!

Thanks, gentlemen - we did use the Dell configurator thing when last we looked at this. I have been tracking how long it takes our server to crunch through an MRP Regen, and for a while it was all over the map. It settled down a couple of months ago, so I stopped actively worrying about it. But now it is creeping up again.
(Benchmarks - it used to take 3.5 hours - then it creeped up to 5 - then overnight on Sep 11 (!!) it took 10. I feared my server was about to bite the dust and fretted and asked about replacments, etc. At one point in the past 6 months, I had a RAM failure on that server. I have the date somewhere, not exactly handy... can get it though. We borrowed the RAM from our Test Server to get us back up and running, then replaced all of the RAM, doubling it while doing so, but it didn't make whit of difference in MRP processing times. Then, after we made some changes in our data, the time dropped to around 6 hours. In the past month, MRP time has been creeping back up again, and we will need to address this pretty quickly).
I did a quick Google search for SQL consultant and pulled up a company remarkably called "SQL Consulting" (sqlconsulting.com), and the appear to do what I need - look at what we are doing and recommend configuration changes.
IT is tricky - because it's like medicine for machines - everyone is a specialist :)
Thanks for the advice, folks! Y'all are great~!

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
But if you don't have a DBA on staff that can vet the potential hire, then you need to get a consultancy, not a consultant. A consultant may or may not have the skills that you need. A consultancy should contain an entire database practice so that they can get you the necessary skills whether you know exactly what they are or not.
Having been a senior Dell engineer, I can't recommend against them enough. The people that they send out are just whatever random person is available to work that day between other gigs. You might get someone good (like me, wink wink) or someone who has never worked with Dell before and is no better than grabbing any random, out of work IT pro off the street.
Apr 13, 2011 at 11:47 UTC
Just do some research on whoever you use. Check LinkedIn, SQL Blogs, SQL sites, etc. Ask for referrals and follow up with it.
I found one article that guy wrote on a SQL site back in 2005.
There's a good bit of tweaking you can do yourself by just looking up how a SQL instance should be properly setup. One place you could look is this checklist by Brent Ozar.

Author | exchange4media Chennai Bureau | Tuesday, May 06,2008 8:20 AM
After Mumbai and Delhi, it is now Radio Mirchi Chennai's turn to celebrate five years of operations. Apart from the usual celebrations, the FM station has embarked on a 10-day fund raising campaign from May 5 in association with Times Foundation.
As part of the fund raising campaign, Radio Mirchi RJs would visit prominent locations in Chennai and encourage college students to actively take part in the campaign. The station is also exhorting popular actors, corporates and government officials to donate for a noble cause. Listeners, too, can make their contributions to the Mirchi RJs visiting various places or by dropping in their contribution in a collection box placed at the Mirchi office.
The station will donate the proceeds to Mahesh Memorial Trust, which would utilise the money to create a recreation room for children at The Cancer Institute.
Commenting on the initiative, Sandeep Sud, VP & Cluster Head, Radio Mirchi Chennai, said, "It has been a memorable journey in the last five years and we would like to celebrate the occasion in high spirits and make it special by giving something back to Chennai. Moving forward, we will endeavour to provide our listeners with a musical retreat by continuously introducing new innovations in programming and content."

I have a 2008 R2 on one of my sites which the service pack has failed on.
I know the issue after using the readiness tool postinstall (possibly a gate after "insert creature here" has bolted scenario but there you go)
packages in the %systemroot%\servicing\packages have failed and technet posts imply to replace them from a like minded server
I have the packages however i cant get permissions to the above folder even after taking ownership and modifying priviledges, all attempts come back with "access denied" permission from "System" required.
Any thoughts please?

I've had similar issues w/ 2008 Service Packs in the past. Stopping all services but the critical windows ones and reapplying the SP has worked every time. The services I typically stop are SQL, WSUS, IIS if present.
Dec 15, 2011 at 3:08 UTC
I'll go with Chad on this.
I was brave enough to do this remotely on Windows Server 2008 Ent R2 (Hyper-V). Actually 2 of them and they took about 20 mins to get back online after reboot. I was freaking out and was almost ready to drive back to work.
Jan 5, 2012 at 8:25 UTC
Sorry all for the late acknowledgements, I work on a number of sites and as this has not caused a problem unfortunately it dropped to the bottom of the list.
I will be attempting these fixes remotely shortly and will update to confirm if resolved.
Thanks again for all the help
Jan 12, 2012 at 6:53 UTC
tried stopping services various different options to no avial.
Any other thoughts before I rebuild?
Jan 30, 2012 at 3:33 UTC
after trying a number of the above and other from various searches / articles nothing has brought the server roles back online.
I have deployed a second server and will rebuild once transferred

Hi Laura-
I am really new to cake decorating, too. I am from Florida, but am stationed in the Netherlands.

I am so inspired by everyone here. I have learned so much in the past couple of months! I now need to find more reasons to make cakes so I can get more practice!
Thanks for posting this. I have never responded to a forum because I don't feel like I know enough to answer any questions!!!
Good luck to you-

Happy baking!! oh i am in odessa, tx.
Thanks so much to all of you who responded, both newbies and not so newbies.....It sure made me feel much more welcomed.
Oh I hear you Heidi (hsterling), with everybody knowing so much, and wanting to be able to post something, anything, but not knowing what since I am not expertise in many things regarding cake decorating. Finally got the courage to post this......I figured someone has to feel like me.LOL.

The above statement is really necessary. It's not that the sound is bad as this was professionally filmed by the crew at the facility. It goes without saying though, that these jet engines are extremely loud, especially if you're standing just 10 feet away.
Recorded at the Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, the 7th Component Maintenance Squadron were conducting a routine test on a new engine for a B-1 Lancer. Having built the engine in the back shop as outlined in the description, the engines need to be strapped in and checked for performance, leaks as well as temperature variations and weird noises.
Noise is all you'll hear in this video.
They crank this General Electric F101 engine to full afterburner at one point. These engines were first designed in the 70s and pack a massive 30,780 lbf. each with full afterburner. They're the reason that the B-1's were able to win 61 world records for speed, payload and range.
We do have a question though. How strong are those beams? This jet engine is doing a hella pushing and the whole test facility seems to be shaking, yet, somehow stays in one piece.

Spiral and Modular Staircases – Area Saving Techniques
Spiral stairs have always been an excellent structure for small areas. Even though, new, cutting-edge designs for spiral Staircases Sheffield have resulted in designs that use minimum one sq. meter or maybe in some designs about 3.3 sq ft of area.
Any spiral staircase is a really reliable option to connect several floors in your home. Such staircase is usually quite small and also can have very pleasant look. You'll find spiral stairs made from a variety of materials as well as their combinations including metal, iron, wood, aluminum and many others. In case you have a difficult structure situation, curved staircase is the best option for you.
To meet structural requirements for staircases, the stairs must be created from steel or stainless steel; however, the steps may be created from variety of materials such as wood, metal, glass and stone. Spiral staircases may be available in do-it-yourself kits which can be adjusted easily; however you also need to examine your local code specifications.
Modular staircases can be manufactured as spiral stairs with straight and flipped styles. These types of stairs are usually useful for lofts and attics. Modular stairs are available in kits that have the treads, handrails, balusters and all sorts of hardware necessary for design and installation. Most of these are flexible stairs can be manufactured in different ways. Loft and attic ladders are usually installed on walls or can be manufactured as flip-style or sliding ladder-style stairs that disappear when not in use. This idea is being explored more by architects.
One common guideline is always that a lot more small a spiral stair is, the more dangerous it's to go up or go down. You definitely need to keep a hand on the handrail constantly. It's also advisable to keep your feet toward the external edge of the treads as they are wider there, and your feet are even less likely to slip off.
Thestaircompanyuk.co.uk offers a variety of design options. They offer a few ideal styles of spiral staircases you could find best for you. Just call at 0114 285 4994 and discuss your requirements with experts.

Just as spring is the perfect excuse to add to your wardrobe or try out some new approaches to style, a fresh haircut can give you just the pep you need.
This year, it's all about variations on three classics: long hair, the short back and sides and the crop.
That's according to Adam Brady from award-winning UK-based barbershop Ruffians. Here, he breaks down 6 great options for the months ahead.
From: Esquire UK.
What is it:
For those with a substantial amount of hair on top, you can now afford to go messy and wild without much hassle. The shorter your back and sides are, the more dramatic the cut will be; but just make sure there is ample texture on top to create movement and an exciting silhouette.
How to style it:
It's very easy to style this look. Allow your hair to dry naturally. Once it's damp/dry, apply a paste to the roots of the hair and just go a bit mad with your hands. Spray in some salt spray for extra lift and volume. Let the elements dictate your hair throughout the day – it's *meant* to look natural after all…
Who does it suit:
This is only achievable if you have a decent amount of medium thickness hair on your head, otherwise it could look a bit limp and lacklustre. It will work for most face shapes, but less so for round/square shaped faces, as this could further widen the silhouette.
Facial hair verdict:
Best with clean shaven looks or with close stubble so the attention is on the hair.
Ruffians Styling Paste, L'Oreal Beach Waves
What is it:
Also popular during men's fashion weeks, this look is easier to maintain than the side fringe. Leave some length longer on top and ensure that enough texture is being chopped in by point cutting. The fringe should fall half way between your hairline and your eyebrows.
How to style it:
Apply a styling paste to the roots of damp hair, and blow-dry it forward, using your hands to create texture, by fanning out the fingers and pushing down.
Who does it suit:
Because of its bluntness, this works well with strong bone structures and prominent cheekbones/jawlines; the geometry works well together. This and other fringes will not work if you have a widow's peak or a cowslick.
Facial hair verdict:
A short beard can add a bit of interest to the look; but clean shaven is best for letting the hair do the talking.
Ruffians Styling Paste
What is it:
Seen a lot at London Collections: Men, the fringe comes into its own around springtime – the wind and rain has subsided so the fringe stays in place; and it's not so hot that it makes your forehead extra sweaty and greasy. It's a relaxed style that can shorten a long face, or conceal a receding hairline, giving a youthful look.
How to style it:
Spray sea salt spray into damp hair and blowdry it forward, using your fingers to push it to the side. The product will give it a matt texture and a bit of extra volume and lift, so the fringe isn't plastered to your face.
Who does it suit:
It being a youthful look, best not sport this if you're looking a bit haggard. It's best for the babyfaced and unbearded. If you've got a long face, this will shorten it slightly, making it seem better proportioned. Avoid going for a fringe if you've got a round face, as this will further widen it.
Facial hair verdict:
No beards here – otherwise it looks like you're concealing too much of your face for a reason.
L'Oreal Beach Waves, Ruffians Daily Facial Moisturiser
What is it:
A simple, classic style favoured by a more 'mature' gent, as it can accentuate a good masculine bone structure and give the illusion of finer hair being thicker.
How to style it:
Blow dry and sprinkle a texturising powder into the roots of the hair.
Who does it suit:
It's a great look for those with square jaws, as the close back and sides will emphasise the strong bone structure. Also perfect if you have thinning hair, as this will make the hair you do have look plentiful and healthy.
Facial hair verdict:
Why not opt for a light beard? This can add a bit of interest to a cut which runs the risk of looking boring.
L'Oreal Super Dust, Ruffians Argan Beard Oil
What is it:
Once the hair has grown to a point of no return, it's time to start training it backwards, behind the ears. You may have a few weeks/couple of months of annoying ringlets bouncing into your face, but if you style it out like this you should be fine.
How do you style it:
Unless your hair is dead straight, do NOT blow-dry the hair – this will just create a whole load of frizz. Towel dry your mane (don't rub too vigorously) and scrunch/squuze out the water. This will also help to create volume and shape in the hair. Apply a water based pomade with your hands to the roots and rake through to give the hair some malleability and shine.
Who does it suit:
Those with thick and full hair. There's no point trying this out if you have thinning hair – sorry. Best left for the most patient among us as well, as it will take around 4-6 months to get to this length with visits to the barber to tidy up the ends.
Facial hair verdict:
Best served with a short beard, to further increase virility.
Ruffians Classic Pomade, Ruffians Argan Beard
What is it:
You have arrived at long hair heaven and are well past the awkward middle bit. Now you'll just need a trip your barber every three or four weeks to tidy up the split ends.
How to style it:
Shampoo and moisturise the mid lengths/ends of the hair – the roots aren't so important, as they are closer to the skin which produces its own natural oils. You'll need to wash your hair every few days, depending on how much you play with it – the less you run your hands through your hair, the less you have to wash it. If you have dead straight hair, you can blow dry it but best is to allow the hair to naturally dry. If the ends appear a bit hay-like, just scrunch some paste in. For curly hair – towel dry and use a pomade instead (from mid-length to ends).
Who does it suit:
Masculine faces – otherwise you could run the risk of looking quite feminine.
Facial hair verdict:
Whatever you want – you've attained 'peak hair'. Beard or no beard, you'll get the attention you deserve.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries secretary Robert Barham holds the key to the 2015 recreational red snapper season.
The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission did that when it took no action after a lengthy presentation from state marine biologists.
The five attending members of the seven-man commission decided to let stand current state regulations that allows Barham to open, then adjust, a recreational red snapper season that will open the Saturday before Palm Sunday — March 28 this year — and run Friday-Sunday periods only through Sept. 30 with a two-per-angler daily creel limit with a 16-inch minimum size on the species.
Exceptions to the three-day "seasons" allow for four-day runs on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day holiday weekends.
State biologists Harry Blanchet and Joey Shepard told the commission that the LDWF's now two-year-old LaCreel survey shows Louisiana anglers fell more than 130,000 pounds short of their historical catch during 2014.
LaCreel numbers produced by the state team showed Louisiana recreational fishermen brought in an estimated 621,353 pounds last year, far short of the 14-percent historical recreational catch for Louisiana anglers. That allowance from the Gulf's total allowable recreational catch is 754,600 pounds.
LaCreel data also showed the recreational take during the nine-day, June 1-9, federal season last year was estimated at 164,499, or 456,854 pounds short of the take during 2014's season that ran nearly 10 months and ended Dec. 31.
After the meeting adjourned, the LDWF's Marine Fisheries Section confirmed Barham will have an announcement about the opening of the recreational red snapper season in the coming weeks.
The commission also heard a report from State Waterfowl Study leader Larry Reynolds, who outlined a dramatic shift in the way states and the country's four flyway councils will interact with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in setting future waterfowl seasons.
Reynolds said the 2016-2017 migratory waterfowl and migratory bird seasons frameworks will be ready for state action at the same time state wildlife managers announce resident-game seasons. Those dates are presented to the commission each February.
Other commission action included:
Telling Reynolds to come back to the commission for its April 2 meeting with options for distribution of the state's annual donation to improve waterfowl habitat in northern breeding areas;
Approving a March 16 opening of state oyster grounds and public seed grounds north of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet. The move came despite objections from as many as seven oystermen from St. Bernard Parish;
Approving an extension of a Declaration of Emergency for the Louisiana Fisheries Forward Program until final regulations can be ratified. State fisheries manager Jason Froeba said regulations should be finalized for the commission's May 7 meeting;
Re-establishing the Big Lake Wildlife Management Area in north Louisiana as part of the state's WMA program;
Learning state Enforcement Agents issued 691 citations, and worked three boating accidents, including one fatality, during February;
And, approving its July meeting date for July 2 in Baton Rouge.

After triumphing in the midterm elections largely on the strength of his performance as commander in chief, President Bush signaled today that not even a popular wartime president can ignore or escape the political peril of a weak economy.
In ushering the leaders of his economic team out the door, Mr. Bush was making a deliberately dramatic if messily orchestrated statement that he now intends to focus on the issues that are closest to home for most Americans even as he leads the nation toward a showdown with Iraq.
''The economic news is mixed and the American public is concerned,'' said Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster. ''This is the administration's way of saying, we hear you and we're doing something about it.''
But the changes seem likely to be limited to personnel rather than extending to a rethinking of the president's philosophy of lower taxes, less regulation and more trade. The departures of Paul H. O'Neill as treasury secretary and Lawrence B. Lindsey as chief White House economic policy adviser had less to do with a desire to change policy in the face of a troubled economic outlook than with a need to shed the considerable baggage taken on by the two men. A fresh team, administration officials said, should be better able to sell the president's pre-existing agenda.
''This is more about perception than about policy,'' said Thomas D. Gallagher, a political analyst at ISI Group, an investment firm. ''It's about putting a better face on the economic policy rather than on changing it.''Continue reading the main story
Still, the move held considerable risks for Mr. Bush. Democrats, who failed to make an effective case in the campaign as to why the president and his party should be held accountable for the economy's sluggishness, immediately cast the departures as an admission of failure by the White House and stepped up their efforts to portray Mr. Bush as the enemy of the working family.
''I hope this represents an acknowledgment by the president that his administration's policies have failed to produce economic growth and create new jobs,'' said Representative Charles B. Rangel, Democrat of New York. ''President Bush calls himself a compassionate conservative, but his actions on the economy seem more like indifference than compassion.''
Republicans on Capitol Hill fretted that the resignations would complicate efforts to roll out a short-term economic stimulus plan in the next month and would undermine the administration's long-term plans to overhaul the tax code and remake the Social Security system. To the financial markets, the creation of a vacuum in economic leadership, however temporary, was one more thing to worry about.
But in some ways, Mr. Bush had little choice. Two years into his term and with his party assuming control of both chambers in Congress, political responsibility for the economy rests squarely with Mr. Bush.
Since taking office nearly two years ago, Mr. Bush has effectively and with varying degrees of justification blamed last year's recession and the sluggish recovery on the bubble economy of the 1990's, his predecessor, Senate Democrats the terrorist attacks.
But he has also gotten all his major economic initiatives passed, including last year's tax cut, and is likely to win Congressional approval for new measures next year. Having prescribed and dispensed the economic medicine, Mr. Bush cannot easily blame weak vital signs on anyone else.
The patient, however, is not responding in the way the White House had hoped or expected.
The unemployment rate rose to 6 percent in November from 5.7 percent a month earlier. The stock market, which rose after the resignations were announced this morning, remains jittery. Administration officials are concerned that a war with Iraq, especially if it drags on, will upset oil markets and undermine consumer and business confidence.
''At this point, the president is so enormously popular that the only thing that can derail the George W. Bush express is a recession or something going catastrophically wrong in the war,'' said Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth, a conservative political action committee. ''This was a precautionary measure. He was saying to himself, we've got to make sure the economy performs, and it's time to bring in some new people.''
It has become almost a political cliché in Washington to talk about how the current president learned from the mistakes of his father. The senior Bush was defeated for re-election a decade ago in part because he allowed himself to be portrayed by Democrats as out of touch with the economic concerns of working people. In campaign appearances all this year, the current president has stressed that he will not be satisfied until every American who wants a job can get one.
But in announcing the resignations of Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Lindsey, the White House steadfastly denied any suggestion that the change was an admission that economic policy was anything less than it should be. And in making the shift, the president did not betray any preference for one policy approach over another. Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Lindsey, in fact, often found themselves at odds, with the treasury secretary concluding that the economy was basically in good shape and in need of little new fiscal stimulus, and Mr. Lindsey more focused on the economic risks and more willing to consider aggressive tax cuts.
After months of debate, Mr. Lindsey and Mr. O'Neill left on Mr. Bush's desk a set of options for a short-term economic agenda that the White House could still unveil within weeks.
In addition to Mr. Bush's longstanding call to make permanent last year's 10-year tax cut, the two main parts of the proposal are a reduction in the tax on stock dividends paid by individuals and a tax break for businesses in the form of a change in the way companies write off investments they make in new equipment. It could also include speeding up the individual income tax cuts that are scheduled to phase in over the next few years under last year's tax bill.
Mr. Bush has not yet signed off on the package, and many details remain to be worked out. But outside advisers to the administration say little is likely to change in the basics of the package no matter who replaces Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Lindsey.
''I don't mean to sound callous, but from a policy perspective I don't care about Larry Lindsey or Secretary O'Neill leaving,'' said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, a conservative advocacy group. ''It doesn't matter in terms of where policy is heading. There is unanimity on where Republicans want to go on tax policy.''Continue reading the main story

Kurdish forces, or the Peshmerga, continue to battle militants from the Islamic State in northern Iraq. Peshmerga troops attacked Islamic State militants 40 kilometers southwest of the Kurdish capital of Arbil Wednesday, Reuters reports.
The offensive came after militants made a rapid advance through three towns near Kurdistan on Sunday.
"We have changed our tactics from being defensive to being offensive. Now we are clashing with ISIS in Makhmur," said Jabbar Yawar, Secretary General of the ministry of the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.
According to Reuters, Islamic State militants are now closer to the Kurdish semi-autonomous region than ever before, prompting Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to call on the air force to help Kurdish forces earlier this week.
Militants from the Islamic State swept through northern Iraq in June and declared an Islamic caliphate. Thousands have fled the ongoing violence and strict laws imposed by the extremist group.

Why Phil Mickelson Will Win the Masters
For the rest of the day I will be randomly presenting different top-notch golfers and explaining why these guys have a chance to win the Masters over anyone else in the field. Mostly, this will just be stupid "stats" that really don't matter once the golfers tee it up Thursday morning. To recap, skip everything I'm about to write. This afternoon we're looking at two-time winner Phil Mickelson.
For all the hype coming with Masters week, Phil Mickelson has done a pretty decent job of flying under the radar. All this "Tiger Will Win Screw Everyone Else" talk that is coming from Magnolia Lane, we need to remember - since 2003 Lefty has won twice to El Tigre's uno. I wonder why Phil Mickelson will win this year (Fades into "Saved by the Bell" type dream scene)....
He's Obviously a Fan of the Course - You know, Phil has played Augusta pretty damn well over the years. Ok, maybe better than well - the guy had as stretch from 1999-2006 where he never finished out of the top ten at the Masters. During that stretch he went third-third-third-win-10th-win. Yeah, I think he knows the greens.
I've heard Putting is Key - He might not be the best putter on tour (honestly, not close - 72nd this season), but it seems when these major things come around, his putting clicks a touch better. If there is ever an advantage Phil has over everyone, it's his chutzpah around the greens.
Even Years? - For sure the dumbest thing I've typed in a while (and that's saying a lot), but he won in '04 and '06, so who knows? The only problem with this theory would be that in '02, '00 or any other year in the history of this earth that the Masters were played on an even year and he didn't win. Yeah, maybe the percentages are actually against us.
I like Schmickelson this week actually, like you care.

How do we decide which songs to sing in church?
What criteria should we use? ?Should we pick songs simply because they feel good or move us emotionally? ?Should we pick them because they give us some kind of ?worship experience??
In Why Johnny Can?t Sing Hymns, T. David Gordon says that in the past, churches did not include the criteria of ?contemporaneity? (whew – I can barely say that word) when selecting hymns for their hymnals. ?In other words, hymnal revision committees didn?t select songs just because they had a cool contemporary sound. ?He gives the following list of some of their main criteria:
- theologically orthodox lyrics
- theologically significant lyrics
- literarily apt and thoughtful lyrics
- lyrics and music appropriate to a meeting between God and his visible people
- well-written music with regard to melody, harmony, rhythm, and form
- musical setting appropriate to the lyrical content
In other words we should choose songs that:
- Are doctrinally sound (Is it biblically accurate? ?Years ago, we sang a song about blowing a trumpet and victory and when I looked up the passage in the Bible it was about God?s judgment on his people)
- Are significant? (?Joy is the flag flown from the castle of my heart when the king is in residence there? – wave your handkerchief above your head as you sing -? it's probably true but is it significant?)
- Have creative lyrics (Come on now, we can do better than ?You saved my soul and made me whole?), yet "literarily apt and thoughtful"? (One man I know once said, "God is so good – he's like a greasy piece of fried chicken" – creative, but the metaphor doesn't work too well)
- Have good music (Raise your hand if you want boring music and melodies)
- Have music that?s appropriate for the lyrics (Does a snarling death-growl vocal fit lyrics declaring the holiness and majesty of God?? Maybe it could to some, but if possible we should seek to appeal to a wide audience).? We should seek music and melodies that highlight the lyrics.
Sometimes a theologically sound and significant hymn can be revitalized by giving it some fresh music. ?Sometimes cool contemporary songs have powerful music, but shallow or biblically inaccurate lyrics.
It?s not a question of old versus new or hymns versus choruses. ?It?s not so much a matter of musical style. ?We want to sing the truth. ?And we want the music to serve the lyrics.
We want to choose songs with lyrics and music that will best enable us to fulfill Colossians 3:16: ?Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.?

I did some test toward Vit vs Rank Lvl vs Hp
As marauder every point of Vit before the cap gave 15hp and 0hp over the cap
Rnk........Vit cap...........Rnk.........Vit cap..........Rnk......Vit cap
1 .............. 30 ..............6 ...............40.............11...........52
2 .............. 32 ..............7 ...............42.............12...........54
3 .............. 34 ..............8 ...............44.............13...........56
4 .............. 36 ..............9 ...............46.............14
5 .............. 38 ..............10 .............50..............15
At rank 10 without any gears on me and 50Vit i had 1130 HP
I wanted to see if the Vit you get from gear was able to actualy give benifit even after the cap.
So equiped 2 pieces of gears with +1 Vit each, My vit went from 50 to 52 on attribute and gears menu
but my hp did remain the same. I then removed those gears and reasigned attribute point,gave 48 Vit wich gave me 1100 hp. So i equiped the +vit gears and Vit went from 48 to 52 but my hp didnt changed. with 50 Vit(48+2) hp was still at 1100. So i gave myself 2 other vit point and HP went to 1130 again.
So even if the Bonus stats from gears add up in your attribute info i am ready to guess that its
somehow broken and dont work. Tomorow i will do the same test with Gla and lancer to see if Vit cap is the same and if the vit from gear work for them. I ll also keep updating the scaling on vit Cap aswell.
Tested if other class would work the same toward Vit added with gears and yes it's the same, even if the bonus add up to your total you dont get any benifit from it.

Yes, I have been called a bitch. It's not one of the insults that can hurt me.
Have an opinion?
Probably, you do a lot of swearing in highschool.
A good female friend often calls me like that :(
but I do call her the same thing, lol,
bitch is just the new word for gal.
Ya, by my girlfriend at the time, in front of coworkers...
Only once by a guy I used to meet. I laughed about it. Calling me a bitch just because I told him to leave me alone, is ridiculous. :) Plus he didn't even say it in my face 😏
Yes, I've been called a bitch on here many times. I'm sure some people in real life may have called me that too behind my back but, it's never been said to my face.
Like on a daily basis. It makes me laugh.
Many times. I just ignore them.
I have been called a bitch multiple times, typically over stupid things. It very rarely upsets me because every time it has happened to me it was when I was just being stern.
My friend and I call eachother bitch. I don't really care because I know she doesn't mean it.
I don't remember but I've been called worse
I was called one because this guy, I didn't know was trying to hook up with me and I rejected him.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

Rita Ora is set to star in two more Fifty Shades of Grey films, according to a newspaper report.
The first movie isn't due to be released until February 2015, but The Sun claims Rita has confirmed she will continue to play her on-screen character, Mia Grey, in the next two instalments of the erotic film trilogy.
However, Rita has apparently implied that her film career will be taking a back seat as she focuses on being singer, telling the newspaper: "Music is obviously my main focus in life, but the movie was planned for when I had time to focus on it."
Rita has previously revealed that she got so flustered on set that she had to resort to using an earpiece to remember her lines as she acted opposite her on-screen brother, Jamie Dornan.
Speaking to Access Hollywood, she confessed: "I had to have someone in my ear on set telling me what to say before I said it because I was honestly like so nervous I forgot everything that I had learnt."
Actress Marcia Gay Harden - who plays Rita and Jamie's on-screen mother, Grace Grey - shared how The Fall actor Jamie was happy to serenade the cast with Rita's songs in between takes.
She told Entertainment Weekly Radio: "Behind the scenes, he'll jump into an Irish ditty, or he was singing a lot of Rita Ora."

The Big Rat
The first comic book launched by the collective The Comics Cafe brings the adventures of The Big Rat. Its importance for the national comics is due for being one of the pioneers to have its stories published in the form of webcomics – Central do Rato website, which ran between 1999 and 2004.
With the release of The Comics Cafe website, the character was rescued and now have compiled its stories in special editions that will be released throughout the year. The first edition marks the transition from web to paper, with his adventures in the format that were originally planned.
The main character:
The Big Rat is an unemplyed cartoon who lives in Sketchtown, mecca of the comics industry in the West. The city is ruled by authoritarian Falex The Publisher, owner of Control Comics. The cartoons are locked up and enslaved to keep alive the entertainment industry. It is against this system that the voice of The Rat stands in order to someday see his people free from oppression of humans.

Fukushima revisited
March 11, 2014
Read this in the Guardian just now.
Currently about 400 tonnes of groundwater is streaming into the reactor basements from the hills behind the plant each day. The plant has accumulated about 300,000 tonnes of contaminated water, which is being stored in 1,200 tanks occupying a large swath of the Fukushima Daiichi site.
Eventually Tepco hopes to have enough space to store 800,000 tonnes, but fears are rising that it will run out of space sometime next year because it can't keep up with the flow of toxic water.
They think it would be safer to pour contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean. The trouble with the Nuclear Power industry is that it has no real solutions the problems imposed by meltdowns. How much will nuclear safety have cost us 100 years from now? If Nuclear Energy is costed honestly it must incorporate premiums for accidents that can be bought back by safety record. It only takes one disaster to bankrupt a power company.
A better solution is to make all homes self sufficient using renewable energy. Power is still required for industry, but it is a politically achievable and meaningful result that has a positive effect on everyones' life.
Nuclear Warming
March 7, 2012
The risk to the nuclear industry posed by flooding caused by global warming has entered the media in the UK, in the Guardian, it is reported that by 2080 12 of 19 reactors will be flooded. The cost of decommissioning far outweighs the benefits of nuclear over using nature to generate energy. The economic crisis that this will create appears to be beyond imagination.
Nuclear Inflation
January 30, 2008
"The cost of decommissioning Britain's 19 ageing nuclear plants has jumped from £61bn to £73bn in two years and could land the taxpayer with even higher bills in the future, a report by the National Audit Office reveals today."What? How? Why? Is the cost to the taxpayer of the nuclear industry figured into the real costs of this energy source. Put another way, this kind of cost differential when its not exactly a moving target, is £12bn. So, the cost of decommisioning goes up by 10% per annum. The UK had better get cracking before they can not afford to do it.

Sara Gallagher is a thirty-three-year-old single mom, with an adorable six-year-old daughter named Ally, she's engaged to a great guy, and owns her own business restoring antique furniture. Yet she can't stop wondering about her birth mother and what genes she might have passed on to her daughter, and any children she might bear in future.
When she finally succeeds in locating her, the woman wants nothing to do with her. Sara can't shake the feeling that she is hiding something, so she hires a private investigator. The truth soon comes out—Sara's mother was the sole survivor of the Campside Killer, one of the worst serial killers in Canadian history, with at least thirty victims. Sara's mother managed to survive, after he shot and killed her parents and raped her, but the assault left her pregnant with the daughter she gave up for adoption—Sara.
When the story is leaked to the press, Sara and her family have good cause to be afraid—if the Campside Killer is still alive, he now knows he has a daughter. Then the calls begin, some are obvious pranks, but amongst them is one who claims he is Sara's father and sends her one of the earrings he took from her mother as a souvenir as proof. He says he wants to get to know Sara and sends her dolls made from his victims' clothes and hair.
The police want to use Sara to capture the notorious killer, but poor Sara finds her formerly happy life begins to crumble and fall apart under the pressure.
This was a fascinating, fast-paced book, with each chapter staged as a one-sided therapy session, with Sara telling her story to a silent therapist named Nadine. This is the second book I've read by this author and I was not disappointed. I will be eagerly awaiting her next one.

New Delhi, Dec. 25: Amendments to the Wild Life Protection Act have proposed heavy penalties for wildlife crimes and restricted states from shifting the boundaries of national parks and sanctuaries.
Wildlife offenders will now be sentenced to a minimum of one to three years in prison, with a maximum sentence of seven years. Fines have been doubled from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000.
Informers working with forest authorities will now receive half the value of the seizure of wildlife items meant for sale. In addition, those who assist in the detection of wildlife crimes will be rewarded with Rs 10,000.
National parks and sanctuaries occupy only 4.7 per cent of the countrys geographic area but account for nearly 50 per cent of the worlds surviving tigers and Asiatic elephants, besides the Asiatic lion and 65 per cent of horned rhinos.
The amendments hope to curb poaching and illegal trade in wildlife articles, which have spiralled over the years. Suggestions have been made so that hardcore criminals with a track record of wildlife crimes are dealt with firmly and their assets forfeited.
The provisions are similar to offenders booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
To put an end to the phenomenon of killing dangerous animals, the amended Bill stipulates that only those animals which cannot be tranquillised and/or captured alive will be ordered to be killed.
State governments, henceforth, will not be allowed to redraw the maps of national parks and sanctuaries without the permission of the National Board for Wildlife, which has been given statutory powers.
Sale of forest produce removed from national parks and sanctuaries has been banned as also construction of hotels and tourist lodges within their boundaries.
People who claim to own wild animals have been given one chance to declare them before the authorities.
The legislation classifies wildlife reserves into two categories conservation reserves and community reserves.
A conservation reserve area denotes land located near national parks and sanctuaries that is owned by the state government.
State administrations will now have the power to notify any community land or private property as community reserve land with consent from members of the community who will protect its flora and fauna.
