Opera Atelier's Acis and Galatea
Elgin Theatre, Toronto (full credits below)
continues to November 7
Love on her breast sits panting and swells with soft desire, no grace or charm is wanting to set the heart afire...
Opera Atelier's co-Artistic Director Marshall Pynkoski mentioned that the show that opens their 25th season is a simple production by Atelier standards - only one costume per singer/performer, and only one stage setting. Other than the dancers, the action on stage was fairly limited, with the lovers Acis and Galatea often simply entwined in each other's arms. Credit then the core strengths of the company - the music and performance - for delighting the audience with Handel's retelling of the Greek legend.
The story (in its abbreviated, simplified version - you know those Greek myths!) goes like this: the shepherds and shepherdesses of Arcadia live an idyllic existence in the woods, along with the water nymph Galatea. Galatea has fallen in love with one of them, Acis, who returns her devotion, despite the warnings of the spirit Damon about the dangers of loving an immortal. They are very happy... but as in all Greek myths, mortal happiness cannot last. Enter Polyphemus the monster, a Cyclops who is also smitten by Galatea's beauty. Acis wants to fight him off, but Galatea persuades him not to. Polyphemus throws a boulder on Acis, killing him in spite. Galatea, who is after all semi-divine, cannot bring him back to life, but transforms him into a stream wherein she can dwell and he can murmur of his love for her forever as he irrigates the Arcadian fields.
Soprano Mireille Asselin brings just the right pureness of tone and sparkling immortal charm to the role of the affectionate water nymph, and she's perfectly matched by a soulful Thomas Macleay in the role of the devoted shepherd. Earnest and sincere, they created a lovely romantic chemistry on stage. While the two lovers played it straight of necessity, they were wonderfully constrasted by the roles of Damon and Polyphemus.
Lawrence Wiliford struck just the right note as the sometimes good, sometimes questionable supernatural being Damon, providing many of the piece's comedic moments in his reactions to the lovestruck mooning of the couple and complications of the Monster Cyclops. He's also a marvelously athletic dancer, with an acrobatic leap here and there to punctuate the words. Baritone João Fernandes attacked the bad guy role with gusto, featuring a nice dramatic sensibility and a powerful voice to match.
I think it's a sign of Opera Atelier's deep familiarity with the work that they were able to play with it, introducing notes of humour both intentional and not in the original early 18th century score - as in the Happy, happy, happy are we! chorus and some of the staging. And though "simple" by Opera Atelier standards, the setting was imaginative, using a pastoral painted backdrop and a layer of curtains that provided depth, along with a nifty cave opening device that revealed the nymph's lair. The costumes were gorgeous, with Galatea's sparkly green gown a stand out (as the dress of an immortal should be).
It's a thoroughly enjoyable evening of Baroque Opera to continue the company's longstanding legacy.

Looking for something special for the investor in your life? These books represent some of the year's best writing on personal finance, market behaviour and investing strategies. There's something here for everyone from market mavens to debt-challenged consumers.
Models. Behaving. Badly.: Why Confusing Illusion with Reality Can Lead to Disaster, on Wall Street and in Life
(Emanuel Derman, Free Press, hardcover, $29.99)
When you pick up a book penned by a former theoretical physicist and Goldman Sachs strategist who now teaches something called "financial engineering" at Columbia University, you expect a brain workout. You also hope to gain a new perspective on the workings – and failings – of the financial world. This book doesn't disappoint, on any of those counts. Mr. Derman weaves a tale that is equal parts science, economics, philosophy and memoir. From all these angles, he drills to the heart of why finance is not a science – and why treating it as a science is a dangerous thing. At the heart of his argument is a crucial misunderstanding by the investment community, which doesn't always grasp that financial models are just that – models. Mere representations of reality, models lack the critical essence of the thing they are meant to represent. That essence? Human frailty. David Parkinson
Santa Claus is Alive and Well and Living on Wall Street
(Bruce Gauthier, iUniverse Inc., paperback, $12.95)
Just in time for Christmas comes a book that says having faith in financial markets to deliver your retirement security is as stupid as believing in Santa Claus. (Read it to the kids. It'll be a real eye-opener – once they stop crying.) Toronto resident Bruce Gauthier is no financial expert – just another regular Joe whose nest egg has floundered in the hands of the financial industry. Like the kid who found out there's no Santa, he feels betrayed, lied to. At times he's paranoid and irrational, seeing conspiracy theories all over the place. But beneath it all, there may be more truth here than most of us are comfortable admitting. His rants about regulatory oversight, stock options and short-selling are over the top, but they address some hard questions that maybe we all ought to be asking. Plus, it's a strangely cathartic read – I feel like he's more than angry enough for the both of us. David Parkinson
The Strategic Dividend Investor: Why Slow and Steady Wins the Race
(Daniel Peris, McGraw-Hill, hardcover, $25.95)
Do you "play" the stock market? Are you convinced that the secret to building wealth is to "buy low, sell high and repeat frequently?" U.S. fund manager Daniel Peris makes a strong case that using the casino approach will doom you to a life of sub-par returns. Instead, most investors would be far better off treating the stock market as a mechanism to purchase stakes in companies that reward them with growing cash payments. Dividends are "the acid test of a business's basic profitability," he writes, and they account for the vast majority of the stock market's long-term returns. Plus, they're a lot more predictable than the day-to-day gyrations of stock prices. The book focuses on U.S. companies, but the theory and practical advice here will be useful to Canadians who want off the market roller coaster. John Heinzl
Crushing Debt: Why Canadians Should Drop Everything and Pay Off Debt
(David Trahair, John Wiley & Sons Canada, paperback, $19.95)
Arriving in timely fashion – right before those ugly post-holiday credit card bills roll in – Toronto accountant David Trahair's book is a quick read that paints a disturbing picture of the debt monster stalking governments and individuals. It also highlights the risks excessive debt poses to Canada's supposedly secure chartered banks, which "have a very slim cushion of shareholders' equity with which to weather a potential storm of payment defaults from consumers saddled with excessive household debt levels." If that sounds like you, Mr. Trahair lays out options such as credit counselling and bankruptcy, and offers hope in the form of stories from people who wrestled their debts to the ground. Buy this book if you've got room on your credit card, or better yet, save the $19.95 and order it from the library. John Heinzl
Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World
(William D. Cohan, Doubleday, $34)
Ordinary investors can take away at least two valuable lessons from William Cohan's monumental history of the "vampire squid" of Wall Street. First, no matter how smart you are, there are armies of even brighter people – many of them at Goldman Sachs – who are working flat out to develop ingenious ways to make money off you. Second, even geniuses screw up, as demonstrated in Goldman's surprisingly frequent brushes with calamity over the decades. Mr. Cohan does a superb job of depicting the investment bank's velvet-gloved rapacity, while demonstrating the more admirable qualities that have helped the firm succeed when so many of its rivals have failed. Most important is its staunch belief in recognizing reality, marking assets to market and hedging its risks. Anyone who is attempting to make money in today's volatile economy should pay heed.

The postal clerk asked the typical and mandated question: "Does this parcel contain anything fragile, liquid, perishable, or potentially hazardous, including lithium batteries and perfume?"
(Technically, I believe she did not mention "including lithium batteries and perfume.")
I responded, "I don't think so. Are words perishable or hazardous? It's a book. I guess words can be perishable or hazardous."
She half-smiled.
"I guess you have a point."
Upon post-shipping reflection, I concluded that words can indeed be fragile (the infinite space between yes and no is but one fragile example), liquid (flowing in several directions, pliant, not solid, moving, healing as a balm), perishable (even set down on paper, words can be lost, burned, evaporated, forgotten), and potentially hazardous (yes, subversive too; think of the Declaration of Independence, or a declaration of war or marriage vows or divorce decrees or papal bulls or misreadings of traffic signs).
But I nevertheless betrayed my vocation and craft by answering "no" to the clerk's query.

Having been sold into slavery for a supposed treachery to the King, English gent Dr. Peter Blood hatches an escape that leads him to stealing a Spanish galleon. In so doing, he turns from gent to pirate, taking on the mantle of Captain Blood, scourge of the high seas, but soon enough he is drawn back to rescue Port Royal from a French attack.
Errol Flynn and his swaggering gait were unheard of before director Michael Curtiz plucked him from the veils of obscurity for this splendid piratical jaunt. It proved the call of destiny, the film launched a career of grandiose and high flung swashbuckling, a new form of heroism that struck its time, Depression hit America, like a bolt of electricity. Yet, to put the success of this tale of sweet revenge down to the star alone is to ignore Curtiz's lavish shots of the sun caressed Caribbean seas and the ease with which Casey Robinson relays Rafael Sabatini's novel with all its Defoe-like textures.
This is shaggy dog history, of course, the pirate captain as dashing rouge, as tanned as a teak deck. A further cry from the scheming brutes of reality you could not reach. Yet, in Flynn's hands, Blood becomes a more complex roustabout than you might expect. This is a man wronged in the past and broken free from slavery — that he was owned by Olivia de Havilland's arch and spoiled Arabella Bishop and would eventually revisit her adds a deft sexual power game to all the polished spills of swordplay. Life has led to Blood, he swaggers because he is proud, he flaunts the rules because they have turned against him, but his moral core, nestled close to his heart, will ignite when a just cause is shown. He is certain, a magnificent, unironic gleam of old Hollywood.
And Curtiz, who would go on to make a dozen films with Flynn despite rumours of mutual hatred, matched his star's flamboyance with a gorgeous sense of spectacle very much his own. The film is constantly spoiling for a fight, and Flynn's glorious talents with a blade are shown to full effect, especially when he duels nefarious rival Basil Rathbone. That pair would join Curtiz for the splendour of The Adventures Of Robin Hood, the signature film of the age, but in many ways Captain Blood is a more layered and memorable film.
Lavish pirate adventure that launched Errol Flynn onto 1930's screens and ensured that buckles would be swashed for a good few years to follow.

Lego Ice Cube Tray
Love this! I gave this to a friend for Christmas and he loved it as well. I think it's a genius idea and even if you don't drink alcohol, it's still perfect to use to cool down your favorite beverage!
I have an aunt that collects salt and pepper shakes. She has some really unique and quirky sets. I'd use those adjectives to describe this set. So cute.
These grass woven bowls and holders provide nice, natural decor. They have a real rustic look. I love anything with earth tones anyways.Tags: home, kitchen, cooking, dinnerware, home decor, dining, entertainment, patio, home accessoriesAdded 9 Years Ago from West Elm

August Is the Cruelest Month (for Hackers)
Wednesday, July 28, 2004; 11:09 AM
Most people take it for granted that e-mail correspondence should be as private as a telephone conversation, but according to a recent federal appeals court decision, it's not. This has led Reps. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and William Delahunt (D-Mass.) to introduce a bill that would hold e-mail to the same privacy standards as phone conversations.

Okay, so, there's this guy I like. He's attractive, shares many of the same opinions and interest as me and is single. Where do I start with the problems... for starters, he lives in California and I live in the Midwest and I've only spoken with him a few times. I want to start out as friends, but I'm too shy. I also have had problems with low self-confidence and sometimes feel like this will hinder me in romantic relationships. I'm not sure that I'm the type of girl that guys pursue rather than see as a little sister. Also, the guy I like is 17, almost 18 and I'm 15, 16 in April. Is that a big age gap?
How do I approach this guy?
He does have a girlfriend, wowowow. Boy, am I embarrassed.
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
There might be another problem here... YOUR DAD.
Just sayin' here... since I am a Dad with a 15 year old daughter.
Look, it's long distance... he probably has a girl in CA or will find one eventually. It's just gonna end up in heartbreak.
Just calm down... there are plenty of "hot" guys and you have plenty of time to find them. You feel insecure about yourself because, well - you're a teenager... and that's kind of normal.
It's a crush - so just forget about it. A day will come for you... but it will not be this day!00|00|0

Does any one use the KopyKake Projector? And if so is it worth the investment?
yes and no.
yes as can make tracing an image easier especially on "normal" size cakes
no as...
for really large cakes have to do image in parts and shift cake around and get it all to line up.
your hand blocks the image sometimes
has limits to the amount it can magnify or reduce
the lens can work loose and shift focus
lots of nooks and crannies to clean.
buy it used if at all possible -- craigslist, store/bakery closeout, etc.
I have one and I use it all the time for images on cakes.I can't freehand for the life of me...Doug is right on most things but I still like mine!!
How is it for use on cookies?
Excellent..You just have to find a clear enough image and print it off fairly small.I usually print my images off on a 4x6 sized card.If I have to do it on a larger 11x15 or 12x18 cake then I make it larger.
Thanks! That's going to be my next big investment -- but not anytime soon.
The lense inverts so you can use it really small or larger...You just have to adjust it up or down to focus.It really has been one of my best investments...but then again I do alot of kids cakes!!!
Thanks all, I think I'll invest in getting one. Doug will take your advice and look for one used.
love,love, love mine. i use it for drawings, writing, have used it for cookies, used it when making detailed fondant plaques. There are 2 kinds, the 300xk has one bulb and the 1000k has 2 bulbs making it brighter. Get the 1000k if you can.

Title explains all.
Personally I'd like to see more from the Outbreak cast, maybe even a reappearance of Bruce McGivern from Dead Aim. But what I'd probably want the most is the tG-virus to be explored a bit more. I thought the whole concept of combining the two viruses was pretty awesome, however Dead Aim wasn't exactly the best RE game released. It'd be great to see the tG-virus given another shot in a future title.


text: Mummymon is Arukenimon's partner. He too was created from the DNA of Oikawa. Like Arukenimon he can disguise himself in a humon form. He pretty much just follows Arukenimon around once he shows up. He is deeply in love with Arukenimon, but she is not interested in him. He appears to rescue her when her defeat was close at hand by the Digidestined. He seems to be the only Digimon who ever actually falls in love. Later in the season he mostly serves as a comic relief. MaloMyotismon finally destroys him.

Guidance for those giving advice
The purpose of the Disputes and Prosecutions forum is to provide advice for anyone who has encountered difficulties during or after their rail journey.
Regardless of whether the person in question admits their guilt, or believes that they are completely innocent, everyone who seeks help is entitled to receive advice. We would usually expect these 4 aims to be addressed in a disputes thread:
1. Establish the facts of the case
2. Ensure the correct process was followed by the rail official dealing with the issue
3. Check the OP understands what has happened
4. Explain the options available to resolve the matter to the OP
For the benefit of the OP we will not permit off topic discussion, any such posts are likely to be deleted. For instance a debate about whether current rail industry practice could be improved, or about the complex nature of the railway ticketing system is not helpful to the OP. The Disputes section of the RailUK Fares & Ticketing Guide covers current practice; should you wish to discuss such practices or your ideas for changes to them, you must post this in a separate thread in the appropriate forum.
If you spot any problem in a particular thread, please report relevant post(s) to us using the report button () rather than calling for moderator action in public. Due to the sheer number of posts on this forum, we are unable to review every single thread therefore unless reported to us, we may not notice every request made in this manner.

On rare occasions one of our Windows 7 x64 clients will not see newly created folders on a network share. The share is on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 machine. In the most recent example my computer could see the folder and all it's sub-folders and files but my boss's computer did not. The files are created by our Visual Studio Team Foundation Server machine and copied (or created, not sure) on this network share.
We tried accessing the share via mapped drive and UNC path. He rebooted and it resolved the issue. The folder in this case was about an hour and a half old when he first tried to access it. Any ideas and what would cause this and how it could be random? I'd say it is a caching issue if it wasn't on a local network share.

Apr 11, 2012 at 1:57 UTC
I dealt with a similar issue for a long time. The solution in my case was the DirectoryCacheLifetime: http:/
Apr 11, 2012 at 2:03 UTC
Thanks for the help. What did you do in your case? Set the registry settings on all workstations to zero?
Apr 11, 2012 at 2:12 UTC
Yeah, I set it to zero, used group policy preferences to roll it out. As I recall it takes effect immediately without a reboot, so I tried it on some test machines first. Haven't seen it since pushing it out a few months ago.
Apr 13, 2012 at 12:21 UTC
Try one of these or combination of these fixes:
1-) On the client PC login as Local Admin and run these commands:
nbtstat -c // c is Lower case - this will list all the cached server that pc has communicated with.
nbtstat -R //clears the cache - R is upper case
ipconfig /flushdns
2-) Create a HOST file in the client pc and add the file server in the file.
3-) This part may be irrelevant to you but just check:
- Open the Control Panel | Administrative tools | Share and Storage Management
- Right click the audited file share and select Properties | Sharing
- Click the 'Advanced' button and select the 'User Limits' tab. Set the 'Enable access-based enumeration' flag.
The first 2 always worked for me as I had few issues with shared folders for users at my remote sites. But my issue not quite like yours though. Mine was more of a can't access at all.
Hope this helps.

What to Do and Ways to Uncover Wonderful Food on Your Amazing London Holiday
Nothing is rather so great as a minor miniature vacation to the capital city of London, exactly where living seems to continue devoid of abate 24 / 7 and no matter how frequently you might have long been there in times past, there often appears to be something new and even different to relish. It is usually such a lot of fun to point out to an individual's kids those items which may have long been your very own favorites around community. As an example, since their very own inception, there will not have been an occasion when Madame Tussaud's waxworks weren't popular, perhaps since they're continuously getting kept up to date to be able to reflect stars associated with the actual time, amid them numerous ones that tend to be no doubt a person's children' absolute favorites. There are the particular sky-high landscapes that exist like the London Eye opposite Parliament.
The Zoo is actually easily situated, not to mention, the West End seems to always have a number of great shows like matinees intended for the main benefit of children, however which adults will love at the same time. There's the instructional part of lots of historic structures open to tour to take into consideration, and the observatory around Greenwich is commonly a great experience. If you perhaps were able to leave the little ones at home, then you and your passionate interest will probably discover good market booths and shopping close to Covent Garden, and you can find stand up comedy clubs, clubs and casinos as well as eating places all over the place. Not everybody knows that you will find vegetarian restaurants in london, however they can be found, and so are outstanding. You can kick back in your motel and search on the net for the purpose of "places to eat near me" and even obtain a proficient, GPS influenced list that can read as a foodie's who's who.
If perhaps incredible food tends to be your objective, overlook the "near me" trick, and choose the particular gold, inputting "top 10 restaurants in london," or maybe, if maybe you've got particular preferences, "halal restaurants in london." It could be smart to prepare to drop some pocket change, however, not all beneficial food is expensive. Several provide a much more intimate interior decoration while others focus on big organizations getting ready with regard to an evening around town. And others are actually associated with live music suitable for dancing, or maybe a dinner theatre. In case the celebration which will grabs a person's attention is a popular one, it could be well worth making a reservation, and receiving seats beforehand.

Can you fully explain the Incomplete Payment window?Asked by nystea on November 24, 2015 at 06:53 PM
The note on it says things are held until JotForm hears back from the gateway. I show a submission from J Piali as well as a pending payment. Does this mean he made two attempts and one failed?
I don't understand how the Pending function works.

AGGRAND Fertilizer Organic Series 4-3-3 (OSF) is a multipurpose liquid concentrate
that promotes vigorous growth, increased root development and improved stress and
disease tolerance in vegetables, fruits, nut trees and field crops. It is Listed
by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in organic production.
AGGRAND Fertilizer stimulates microbial activity in the soil and provides essential
macronutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in a ratio of 4-3-3.
AGGRAND Fertilizer Organic Series 4-3-3 is intended as the alternative to AGGRAND
Natural Fertilizer 4-3-3 (NOF) for growers who must use fertilizers certified to
NOP standards.
AGGRAND Fertilizer uses kelp from the North Atlantic Ocean to provide potassium
for increased plant health and development. Kelp also helps increase plants'
resistance to drought and cold temperatures.
AGGRAND Fertilizer is made from menhaden fish that provides a natural,
environmentally friendly source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, to
enhance plant growth and development. Menhaden fish emulsions represent the
primary source of nitrogen in AGGRAND Fertilizer.
AGGRAND Fertilizer is OMRI Listed and ideal for use by organic growers certified
to National Organic Program (NOP) standards. AGGRAND recommends NOP-certified growers
verify approval of their inputs with their NOP-accredited certifying agent prior
to use. AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash (NKP) also is part of the AGGRAND
Organic Series and can deliver enhanced results when used with AGGRAND Fertilizer
where appropriate.
AGGRAND Fertilizer features a balanced formulation with menhaden fish emulsion
and kelp as the basis, and additional natural and organic ingredients for optimum
AGGRAND Fertilizer increases bacterial activity in soil, leading to stronger, healthier
plants. Aerobic microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa feed on carbon
sources, causing a process known as mineralization. Mineralization produces plant-available
nitrogen and phosphorus that helps plants grow and develop.
The amount of bacterial activity in soil is determined by measuring the carbon dioxide
(CO2) produced by microorganisms. Higher levels indicate more bacterial activity,
hence more potential nitrogen and phosphorus available to plants.
Although chemical-based fertilizers have high nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
levels, plant-use efficiency can be very low. In addition, they are often high in
soluble salts that are toxic to soil bacteria and help create compaction and anaerobic
conditions, resulting in plant stress.
Research shows soil treated with AGGRAND Fertilizer demonstrates increased CO2 levels
compared to a leading chemical fertilizer, meaning increased bacterial activity
for healthier plants.
AGGRAND Fertilizer is recommended for, but not limited to, the following crops:

Israel Eyes U.S. Carrot For Stalling Settlement
The White House has offered Israel a package of incentives in exchange for a 90-day freeze on construction in the West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brings the proposals before the Israeli cabinet Sunday. Host Liane Hansen gets the details from NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro in Jerusalem.
LIANE HANSEN, host:
A new push by the White House to break the impasse in Middle East peace negotiations is being discussed in Israel today. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with his cabinet to present a package of military and security incentives the U.S. has offered in exchange for a 90-day freeze on construction in the West Bank.
NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro is in Jerusalem with the details. Hi, Lourdes.
LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO: Hi.
HANSEN: Explain what are these initiatives being offered by the Obama administration?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: This really has the sense of a last-minute attempt to save the peace process. Prime Minister Netanyahu and Secretary of State Clinton met in the U.S. for over seven hours, if you'll remember. And this is apparently the deal they were working on.
What we've heard, in return for accepting a 90-day settlement freeze, the U.S. is offering $3 billion worth of state-of-the-art airplanes, a promise that the U.S. will veto any resolution that comes up in the United Nations that adversely impacts Israel's interests, and - this is key - including any unilateral move by the Palestinians to declare an independent state. That's something the Palestinians have been talking about doing recently.
Finally, the United States promises not to ask for another freeze again. So, a lucrative package for a 90-day freeze. The U.S. clearly deciding that it's going to adopt the carrot and not the stick approach with Israel in order to get the Middle East peace process moving.
Now, the reason a settlement freeze in the occupied territories is so important is because since the last one expired six weeks ago, talks have been on hold. The Palestinians saying, and the Arab League supporting them, that they won't negotiate while land they want for a future state is being illegally built on.
HANSEN: What's been the reaction to, as you say, the carrot so far?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Well, unsurprisingly, the main settler organizations are furious. They are threatening to topple Netanyahu's government over the issue. Pro-settler parties form a large part of Netanyahu's coalition, and if they decide to withdraw from the coalition, it would be a big problem for Netanyahu.
The Palestinians, on their part, are mulling what to do. The problem for them is that the settlement freeze proposal currently being considered would only be for the West Bank and not East Jerusalem, and that's an area they want for the capital of their future state.
Beyond all this, Netanyahu needs the support of his cabinet before the rest of anyone else has a say in this to reinstate the freeze. And it's not clear he could get the majority to approve it. So, what happens if this doesn't go through? Well, the peace process essentially collapses is what analysts here are telling me. It's been teetering on the brink for a while now.
HANSEN: Ninety days isn't a lot of time. How much progress can realistically be achieved?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Well, 90 days is an extremely short amount of time, but the idea is that they would focus on one issue, and that's the issue of borders. If in that time the Israelis and Palestinians can agree on what is Israel and what will be Palestinian territory, then the issue of settlements becomes moot in a way. Because Palestinians and Israelis would agree to certain land swaps and then presumably Israel could build on the land that everyone had agreed was theirs and they would stop building on land that everyone had agreed would be Palestinian.
But 90 days is a really short amount of time to basically resolve one of the biggest issues in the peace process. And with this deal, the Americans have basically tied their hands, because they're promising not to ask for another building freeze.
HANSEN: There was a new report released today by Peace Now, the settlement-monitoring group. It shows there's been a building boom in the occupied territories. We have only a few seconds left. How much has been built?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Yeah, the report basically shows that settler groups are building at a furious pace - some 1,600 new buildings have gone up in the occupied territories, basically erasing what the 10-month moratorium had achieved.
HANSEN: NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro. She's in Jerusalem. Lourdes, thank you so much.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: You're welcome.

Wipe the venison dry, sprinkle with salt, and cover with writing paper
rubbed with clarified fat; cover this with a thick paste made of flour
and water, round which, tie with packthread white kitchen paper, so as
to prevent the paste coming off; set the venison before a strong
fire, and baste it directly and continue until it is nearly done, then
remove the paper, paste, &c.; draw the venison nearer the fire, dredge
it with flour, and continue basting; it should only take a light
brown, and should be rather under than over-done; a large haunch
requires from three to four hours roasting, a small one not above
three. Serve with the knuckle, garnished with a fringe of white paper,
and with gravy and red currant jelly, either cold or melted, in port

It didn't strike his players as particularly odd when the inscrutable Fred Shero scribbled 28 words on the dressing-room blackboard in the mid-1970s, the coach wanting only to fire up his Philadelphia Flyers for what would be a successful run at the Stanley Cup.
To them, it was just "The Fog," as they called him, being himself.
"Hockey," Shero wrote, "is where we live, where we can best meet and overcome pain and wrong and death. Life is just a place where we spend time between games."
But it sure feels odd today.
Life and its inseparable partner death have taken on new meaning for hockey in these weeks between seasons, let alone between games. And on Wednesday, when news came that a plane had gone down in Russia with an entire Kontinental Hockey League team aboard, it seemed there was nowhere to be found, inside or outside a rink, where it was possible to "meet and overcome pain and wrong and death."
Chicago Blackhawks star Jonathan Toews, the last Canadian captain to raise the Stanley Cup, called this "the worst summer ever for hockey."
But much, much more than summer. Nine months into the calendar year, 2011 has seen a hideous stretch launched New Year's Day when Sidney Crosby, the game's greatest player, was clipped in the head during the Winter Classic. It includes the deaths of three National Hockey League enforcers – Derek Boogaard in late spring, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak in late summer – from various causes that seem more than coincidentally linked to the stresses of what fellow former enforcer Georges Laraque has called "the toughest job in the world."
Wednesday's plane crash that killed all but one member of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl – including Saskatchewan's Brad McCrimmon, a popular former NHL player and coach of the Lokomotiv – sent more shock waves through an already shaken hockey world. René Fasel, the head of the International Ice Hockey Federation, called it "the darkest day in the history of our sport."
Since hockey has become such an international game, with players often moving between the North American professional leagues and the European, many of the Lokomotiv players lost were familiar to North American fans. Several had known great popularity in Canada, including Russian Igor Korolev, once a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Slovakian Pavol Demitra, a fan favourite as a rookie with the Ottawa Senators and again as a veteran with the Vancouver Canucks.
Canadians will not soon forget Demitra's spirited play in the 2010 Winter Games, when but for an inch or so in the final moments he would have put the seemingly possessed Slovaks into overtime against a collapsing and panicking Team Canada.
There were 43 deaths in total, including coaches and team officials, with two people surviving but badly injured. The team was flying to Minsk, where Lokomotiv was to open the season Thursday against Dynamo. Shortly after takeoff, however, Lokomotiv was no more. "First we did not want to believe," said team spokesman Vladimir Malkov. "But now there is no hope."
The late Canadian poet Al Purdy once said there was "only a hyphen between me and death," but such stark realization is a difficult fit with sport. Play, after all, is the opposite of reality, and professional sport, which grew out of harmless play, has forever been regarded as a welcome escape from the harsh realities of life.
Not lately, though. Fred Shero's definition of life as merely a holding pattern between games doesn't hold. Death has claimed its own space between games.
In an unfortunate coincidence, news of the magnitude of the Lokomotiv tragedy was spreading just as Sidney Crosby and his doctors were about to hold a news conference in Pittsburgh to discuss the Penguin captain's progress in his long recovery from postconcussion syndrome.
While no one would dare equate "90-per-cent" functionality with no function at all, Crosby's nine-month-and-counting absence from the game he is the face and future of is a major concern for hockey. An inability to return would be a disaster both for the National Hockey League and for future enrolment in minor hockey.
Crosby, fortunately for both the professional game and the child's game, says he will return when fully recovered and dismisses the chances of not coming back this season as "slight." However confident that sounds, it will not be until Crosby actually does return, and performs at his previous elite level, that the game's jittery nerves will be somewhat calmed.
While some thought that Crosby might have cancelled his news conference in deference to the Russian tragedy, the fact that he went ahead with it on such a dark day produced the first light the game has seen in weeks when he called for a complete ban on hits to the head. As he put it, "I don't think there's a reason not to take them out."
Such a statement obviously has no relevance to air safety in Russia, but given the recent tragedies involving the troubled enforcers, Crosby's call for NHL action could conceivably lead to lives being saved in the future.
All this has had the effect of making fans see sport as something other than mere distraction and something that, to those who play the games, is in fact life itself.
Scottish football coach Bill Shankly once ridiculed those who saw games as matters of life and death. "I can assure you," Shankly said, "it is much, much more important than that."
Great quote, only he got it backward, as has become all too evident in the a nnus horribilis of hockey.Report Typo/Error

Mobile Gaming News | Reviews | Information
2016 has been a pleasant surprise for all of us Mobile Gamers out there. With awesome game releases and new tech coming into mobile gaming, new features are constantly introduced into mobile games and bringing it to new heights. Retro-games such as Super Mario Run and indie-developed games has also been wonderful thus far since Mobile Gamers consists of various group-types.
2017 will no doubt be even more awesome with the upcoming new mobile titles that are slated for release using the latest game techs such as Age of Wushu 2 3D. Other than that, PC Games has also been seen moving and porting into Mobile devices such as Tree of Saviors mobile, or Icarus-M. We do hope that 2017 brings us more joy in mobile gaming. Here are the 5 best mobile games that we think is the best in 2016 with no rank order!
Being one of the most popular Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy 9 has made it to your mobile devices! This is the 2nd series that was ported over to the Mobile platform since last year's Final Fantasy 7. Although you might be expecting Final Fantasy 8 instead, 9 definitely brings back a lot of memories as well. Being 1 of the more unique in the series, FF9 sets in a more medieval period where machine guns weren't actually in the game. Instead Daggers (oops definitely reminds us of Princess Garnet!) and Swords are all you need in this popular series along with awesome-ness soundtrack and memorable characters just like Princess Garnet and Zidane! The port was done by Silicon Studios and is easily 1 of the best work on the mobile platform. Final Fantasy 9 definitely top as 1 of the best mobile games easily.
Yet another of Supercell big hit, and with the characters off from Clash of Clans. The game effectively rewrote the success of mobile gaming. Clash Royale, the real-time player versus player card battler was simply on the top grossing list since released. With it, Supercell demonstrates the ever-growing updates along with the mobile game. Clash Royale was made playable regardless if you were a Free player or Player who purchase in-app purchases. If you aren't playing Clash Royale yet, you are definitely missing out some fun there.
Released by Singapore developer XIIBraves, Valiant Force is a turn-base grid style battler which was just launched in November 1st 2016. Being a relatively new game this year and only released to the APAC region currently. Armed with wonderful voice actors and beautiful illustrations, the game has won the hearts of many in the APAC region. Valiant Force has been one of the successful hit on mobile for a Singapore developed mobile app. The game continues to grow and hope to expand the game to other regions in 2017. The game play is simply unique and Gamersaur is definitely stuck onto this game as well! You can find various guides on our website as we dive deeper into this awesome game!
We can't say bye to 2016 without a MOBA game! MOBA has been popularly trending this year on mobile devices and we definitely can't miss one out on our best mobile games listing. Coming off this year's list would be Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, which was released by Moonton. Having optimally infused MOBA elements with the mobile game controls along with over 2 million fans on their Facebook page, We can't deny that this is probably one of the best mobile MOBA out there other than vainglory (released in 2014). They definitely deserve 1 spot on the list! If you haven't tried it out yet, you should! The game is also constantly updating with new contents as well as optimized user interface to perfect MOBA on Mobile.
It wasn't just a game, it became a trend and culture! Released this year, Pokemon Go was simply overwhelmed with new players and fans of Pokemon. This GPS-based game had people moving their butt out from their home and basically spending hours on the greens just to catch Pokemon! Some even went to the extent of travelling to countries with region-exclusive Pokemon all over the planet just to capture the unique Pokemon. Niantic Lab definitely did it right, and has been consistently improving and updating the game with updates as well. Although you might see the decrease of mobs running around catching Dragonites. Players are still around playing the game and fighting the gyms! This is a very unique game in mobile gaming history since the use of GPS has not been widely used. If you haven't tried it yet, you should!

Pittsfield man gets 4 years for pot deliveries
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A Pittsfield man has been sentenced to four years in prison for accepting deliveries of marijuana from FedEx.
Daniel Martin was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to charges including misdemeanor possession to distribute marijuana and possession of a firearm without a license.
The Berkshire Eagle (http://bit.ly/16bymGE [1] ) reports that the 29-year-old Martin was arrested in March 2012 when a police officer disguised as a FedEx driver delivered marijuana to him.
Police were tipped off by FedEx after a driver detected the smell of marijuana from a package.
Police say Martin received nine packages of marijuana from Oregon in a month's time. A search of his home also turned up a sawed-off shotgun.
Martin's lawyer says his client had no criminal record and the secured shotgun belonged to a relative.

Photos of The Last Song's Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth Getting Lunch in LA
Miley and Liam Do Dinner Before Their Movie
Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth headed back to their car yesterday after grabbing a sushi lunch in LA. The duo is spending lots of time together after recently hitting the red carpet for the West Coast premiere of their movie The Last Song. Liam's gearing up to give Taylor Lautner a run for his money with his many shirtless scenes, while Miley recently shared with us about how the cast and crew conspired to get them together on set. Miley also tried to clarify her recent comments about how she and Liam are deeper than average people, and we'll see if their chemistry translates into box office gold when the film opens this week.

What are Disguised Chords
Disguised chord is like a police officer in plain clothes (nobody expects that he is who he really is). This kind of chord normally is a chord inversion that, by its structure, doesn't let clear by the first sight its harmonic function in the song.
See the following example:
| F7M | Gm6 | A7(b9) | Dm7 |
In this case, Gm6 is disguised as Em7(b5). Notice that these two chords have the same notes:
- Gm6 notes: G, Bb, D, E
- Em7(b5) notes: E, G, Bb, D
By the previous progression, Gm6 was appearing to be the 2nd degree of F, when actually it was the 2nd degree of D (IIm7). It is interesting to highlight that, in this case, we had an imperfect cadence.
Using disguised chords to do non usual cadences
Disguised chords are interesting when you wish to do a non usual cadence. You can try to play with chord inversions in many contexts creating cadences that don't indicate to the listener the real intention of the movement.

SLP's supercharger system for 2014-2016 Chevrolet and GMC trucks boosts performance an additional 170 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and 130 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm. The result is an incredible 41% horsepower and 28% torque increase over stock. Our supercharger systems are developed in-house by SLP design engineers using OEM CAD data to optimize available space for the best possible fitment and maximum performance.
Boosting performance of this direct injected (D.I.) highcompression platform to nearly 600 engine horsepower, the SLP 1900 supercharger system is part of the TVS (Twin Vortices Series) line of superchargers developed by SLP, raising the bar for performance and reliability. Eaton's TVS technology rotating assembly delivers more power and better fuel economy in a smaller package, and is part of the same technology that has been used and proven for years in OEM high-performance applications like the Cadillac CTS-V and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
The SLP 1900 TVS supercharger is a positive displacement supercharger that features twin four-lobe rotors that are twisted 160-degrees. By comparison, the original Eaton supercharger rotating assembly featured three lobes twisted 60-degrees. The fourth lobe and the added twist provide a long list of benefits including: vastly cooler discharge temps vs. competitive twin screw designs, higher volumetric capacity, higher operating speeds, a smoother, more efficient flow of air into the engine, and improved noise and vibration characteristics. Unlike turbocharging, the SLP 1900 TVS supercharger provides instant throttle response and can generate increased power through the engine's entire power band.

WILL MORFORD goes straight into Cirencester Town's matchday squad for the visit of struggling Guildford City on Saturday.
It is the second month-long loan spell at the Corinium Stadium this term for Morford, who finds himself slipping down the pecking order at Gloucester City again with the Swindon Town goal ace Connor Waldon.
The 19-year-old Waldon scored seven goals in 10 games on his previous loan stint with the Tigers earlier this season.
Despite an apparent lack of strikers at the County Ground – Nile Ranger is believed to be out for the season and Miles Storey has gone out on loan to Shrewsbury – Waldon has packed his kit bag again.
Cirencester Town manager Brian Hughes is delighted to have Morford back on board.
"We had Will for three games at the start of the season while he was doing his rehab from summer back surgery," said Hughes. "But he looked a much sharper player when he joined in with training on Tuesday night.
"We always think of Will as one of our own anyway as he works as assistant to Steve Lowndes at the Cirencester Academy."
Cirencester, six points behind table-topping Merthyr, whom they meet on Saturday week, but with three games in hand, maintained their excellent form with a 1-0 win at Wimborne on Saturday before yet another postponement at Taunton on Tuesday night will add to their hectic end-of-season schedule.
They beat Guildford 5-0 away earlier in the season and despite a new manager and a radical change of personnel, Saturday's visitors were crushed 12-0 by Merthyr recently.
However, Hughes refuses to take them lightly. He said: "The form book suggested we should have beaten Fleet easily but we struggled to get a draw.
"We never treat any team lightly; having said that we are praying that this game can go ahead as it looks a good time to be playing them.
"We were a long way from our best at Wimborne, but I will take another scruffy 1-0 on Saturday."

"Great experience with ADSU (Hernia repair)"
About: Royal Berkshire Hospital Royal Berkshire Hospital Reading RG1 5AN
Posted by Ian Hughes
I went into the ADSU for a Hernia repair on 25th SEptember and have to say that the overall experience from admission to recovery after surgery was great. All the staff made me feel very calm and comfertable for what was my first ever experience of surgery and general anesthetic. I was slightly put off by the large group of patients waiting in the corridor for the units doors to open at 7.15am, but as soon as they opened for business I was immediately put at ease by the very smooth and efficient process of being shown to my bed and briefed on what to do and what was going to happen. The anesthatist was great and everyone else who spoke to me as I went to the anesthetics room was cheerful, reassuring and calm. When I woke up in the recovery room I feel good an didn't have any pain from the operation. One patient was experiencing some discomfort nearby and I was impressed with the way in which all the staff (including surgeon and anesthatist were quickly on the scene to take care of them. My post op experience in the ADSU was also very good and I must make mention of the nurse responsible for my care. She was really great, rushing around to see to everyones needs but still having time to chat and have a joke with us all. All in all a very good experience, which completely changed my previous perceptions of RBH service.
Response from Royal Berkshire Hospital 2 years ago
Thank you for posting such positive comments about the service we provide. We are sorry that you experienced some anxiety, when met with a group who were waiting to be admitted into the Day Bed Unit. It is difficult to know how we could manage this any differently, as our patients need to arrive early to ensure they are seen in a timely fashion prior to the theatre lists starting. We try to open promptly but there is often a crowd waiting to be let in when the doors are opened. We will ensure that your comments are passed on to those who were involved in your care; they will be delighted to know that you had such a positive experience with us and that you have taken the time to write. Thank you again.

Former retired Metairie resident now living in Cheraw, South Carolina following Katrina.
It seems like we have been trying to hold "The Projects" together for years and have always resented people who lived in "The Projects."
With all of the funds that have been spent for the redevelopment and refinement, there also must be a required component on how to take care of your home. These homes must continue to be preserved showing respect for where you live and how you live. They must be representative of our city and continued growth. There can no longer be a stigma attached to living in these fine homes, rather an honor to live there.
I would love to see when we could take 'steps forward in Louisiana' rather than going back to the Dark Ages in society. If the state's educational system was above par, then I would hope they had a plan that would involve all kids into the system rather than exclude those who do not meet their expectations. This is all so wrong!
So grateful that the endearing couple picked up Tawana at Walmart and gave her an opportunity to get her feet on the ground and make a new life for herself and her son. She has experiences she can relate and an understanding of problems and concerns since she has been there and done that!
If we had more troubled younger people read something like this or at least speak to this man, maybe it would stop their dangerous behavior down the road. He could actually be a good spokesperson behind bars and give the reality of the picture in jail to others!
Since Katrina, I have been living in South Carolina where we have our strange assortment of wild critters that roam the area. The majority of my friends are in the greater New Orleans area and reporting seeing very strange animals off Jefferson Highway. Would strongly suggest everyone use caution in both their homes and yards. Have a good flashlight to go outside with at night.

We'd have a great time talking. But I can't, so I wish I could give you a book instead.
Here's why.
God seems to bring me into contact with a lot of different women. Most of them say,
"Anne, I don't want my life to be filled with a bunch of made-up rules. I just want to live my life to please God. Only thing is… I'm not sure what that looks like!"
I agree! That's my ambition, too.
And as helpful as websites are, sometimes I just need a book. Books are great. I can lay them on the bathroom counter while I'm putting my makeup on. I can prop them on the kitchen counter and read them while I'm burning everything in sight cooking dinner.
So I write, hoping to make a difference in someone's life like other authors have made a difference in mine. If I could physically come to your house, these are the things I'd tell you. Since I can't, I'm hoping my books will help out instead — so you can put "feet" onto your spiritual goals.
My Books:
- Juggling Life's Responsibilities: Biblical Help for the Married Woman — Do you feel like you're being pulled in too many directions? Find out what God's Word says about all the roles of a woman — and how you can juggle them.
- Foundations Bible Curriculum — Our "curriculum" is a guide to reading aloud from the Bible and is popular with homeschoolers, yet practical for any family.
- Homeschooling P.E. (for the P.E. Challenged Mom) — A set of simple lesson plans that can walk you through this often neglected subject.
- The Four Foundations of Lifelong Learning: Preparing Your Little Ones for School — So much to teach, so little time… where should a wise mother start?
- Blessed to Be a Blessing — Have you ever wondered why God saved you? Join me in this study of the book of Ephesians.
- Biblical Home Education — Discover what the Bible has to say about educating your children.
- The Organized Homeschool— This guide to home organization is filled with practical advice to help you make homemaking a priority.
- Just Tell Me What to Order — This E-book lists my favorite curriculum choices from kindergarten through 8th grade, with ideas for high school and plenty of teacher-training resources listed, too.
- The Too Tired Series — I'll show why so many women are struggling with fatigue and how this fatigue affects your body. Best of all, I'll give you lots of practical tips to help you get your energy back!

Weeks past the actual event, Cafe Drake invited longtime gal pal Jen Lazzaro for a cozy-caj dinner celebrating her latest birthday. Knowing J-La's tastes thoroughly we constructed a tailor-made menu of Cabbage and White Hominy Soup (drizled tableside with herb and chile-infused olive oil), followed by Soy, Anise and Marsala-Braised Pork Chops with homemade Quick Pickled and Spiced Pears (recipe of sorts below) and Scalloped Potatoes. Espresso came with candy and cookies festooned with candles and a birthday serenade by tone-deaf Cafe Drake. Festively obscene amounts of champagne were consumed over hours (first, in Kir Royales; later, alone) along with plummy Pinot Noir and German honey liqueur digestifs. The Birthday Girl lit up our evening as expected, especially with her sing-along renditions of an eclectic playlist including Mika, Lily Allen, Rufus Wainwright (of course), Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and Diana Ross.
Quick Pickled and Spiced Peaches
This is an adaptation of a Nigella Lawson holiday favorite. Per Ms. Lawson's dictate only canned peaches in heavy syrup will suffice - no fresh fruit or peaches in fruit juice allowed!
So simple, basically: take a large can of peaches in heavy syrup and heat to a low simmer with star anise, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, several slices of fresh ginger, approximately a teaspoon of kosher salt, several dried red chiles and 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes and allow to cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Better over the next week. Serve with any light meats, such as poultry or pork.

(Adds details on investigation)
RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Brazil's Supreme Court authorized the questioning by police of ex-President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in a broadening corruption case focused on state-run oil company Petrobras, a representative for the court said on Friday.
The original motion for permission to question Lula as a witness, which was filed last month, said the popular leader "may have benefited" from the political kickback scheme.
Lula may have "secured advantages for himself, for his party ... or for his government by maintaining a base of political support sustained by illicit business" at the company, investigators wrote in the motion.
Prosecutors say there is no investigation into Lula or any evidence tying him to crimes, but they said they think the corruption scheme started with the former president's chief of staff, Jose Dirceu.
A representative for Lula in Brazil declined to comment.
In the motion, investigators said it was necessary to question Lula because the probe, and evidence obtained in plea bargain testimony from officials already convicted in the scandal, "reaches the political and partisan nucleus of his government." (Reporting by Eduardo Simões and Stephen Eisenhammer; Editing by Chris Reese and Ken Wills)
