Villain of Star Trek Into Darkness Finally Revealed
By Josh Lyons on Apr 26, 2013 with Comments 0
We've known for a while now that Benedict Cumberbatch was playing the villain in J.J. Abrams highly-anticipated Star Trek Into Darkness. However, we haven't been made aware who the character actually is that Cumberbatch was playing.
Rumors were always circulating that the actor would be playing the role of Khan. However, the studio made rebuttals saying the character was actually "John Harrison". Sounds like a cover-up to me and still doesn't explain who he is exactly or his purpose. Well now that has changed.
Due to an early review, it has finally been revealed just who "John Harrison" is. As suspected, Benedict is actually playing Khan.
Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. All that bullshit of him not being Khan and really "John Harrison" was just a cover to hide the truth from moviegoers. Oh, he does go by "John Harrison" in the movie…but that's not his real name. He reveals his name to Kirk later in the movie.
So, looks like fans were right all along and Abrams and company were just pulling our legs and trying to be all secret (as Abrams does).

Catholic views on creation are set forth in the Humani Generis: no theory of evolution that contradicts the theological view of one Adam and one Eve may properly be taught in a Catholic school. Because current theories of evolution do generally deny one Adam and one Eve, they are prohibited by Catholic doctrine.
Liberals within the Church, particularly those who hold professorships, tend to ignore traditional Church doctrine and often go along with the liberal belief in evolution that dominates many academic institutions.
In 1909, the Pontifical Biblical Commission ruled that the historical sense of the creation account in Genesis 1-3 cannot be excluded.
In 1950, Pope Pius XII forbade the theory of evolution being taught as true, although said that evidence for and against evolution should be considered.[1] In the Humani Generis, the Pope forbade any Catholic from teaching anything contrary to the existence of one Adam and Eve as the parents of all mankind.[2] The theory of evolution, as it is commonly taught today, denies the existence of one Adam and Eve and thus undermines the concept of original sin that made necessary the Passion of Christ.
On October 23rd 1996, Pope John Paul II made a speech to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and said:
"Taking into account the state of scientific research at the time as well as of the requirements of theology, the Encyclical Humani generis considered the doctrine of 'evolutionism' a serious hypothesis, worthy of investigation and in-depth study equal to that of the opposing hypothesis. Pius XII added two methodological conditions: that this opinion should not be adopted as though it were a certain, proven doctrine and as though one could totally prescind from Revelation with regard to the questions it raises. He also spelled out the condition on which this opinion would be compatible with the Christian faith, a point to which I will return. ...
Today, almost half a century after the publication of the Encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition of more than one hypothesis in the theory of evolution. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favour of this theory. ...
Consequently, theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider the mind as emerging from the forces of living matter, or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man. Nor are they able to ground the dignity of the person." [3]
This statement has sometimes been translated as saying that evolution is "more than a hypothesis",[4] and used to support the claim that the Pope has recognized the truth of evolution. Regardless of which translation is better, the Pope was certainly not saying that evolution was a single hypothesis that must now be accepted. He was saying that scientific advances have made the situation more complicated than was previously recognized. He went on to say that "we should speak of several theories of evolution". Some of these theories are compatible with Catholic teachings, and some are not.
In an interview that was published in 1997, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) stated:
Part of faith is also the patience of time. The theme you have just mentioned - Darwin, creation, the theory of evolution - is the subject of a dialogue that is not yet finished and, within our present means, is probably also impossible to settle at the moment. Not that the problem of the six days is a particularly urgent issue between faith and modern scientific research into the origin of the world. For it is obvious even in the Bible that this is a theological framework and is not intended simply to recount the history of creation. In the Old Testament itself there are other accounts of creation. In the Book of Job and in the Wisdom literature we have creation narratives that make it clear that even then believers themselves did not think that the creation account was, so to speak, a photographic depiction of the process of creation. It only seeks to convey a glimpse of the essential truth, namely, that the world comes from the power of God and is his creation. How the process actually occurred is a wholly different question, which even the Bible itself leaves wide open. Conversely, I think that in great measure the theory of evolution has not gotten beyond hypotheses and is often mixed with almost mythical philosophies that have yet to be critically discussed.[5]
2007 speech
While speaking with priests in July 2007, Pope Benedict XVI appeared supportive of intelligent design in saying, "There is much scientific proof in favour of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such," but "it does not answer the great philosophical question 'where does everything come from?'" The speech also stressed the importance of environmentalism.[6]
This remains, as of August 2008, the most recent clear statement of Pope Benedict XVI's personal views on the subject. He has not delivered an official address on behalf of the Catholic Church on the topic.
Intelligent Design
The position of cardinals in the Church on intelligent design are nearly as diverse as the cardinals themselves. The Cardinal archbishop of Vienna has spoken out in support of intelligent design. The director of the Vatican observatory, Father George V. Coyne, has been critical of it. The Vatican itself has never taken an official position on the issue[7], though Catholics professors tend to be liberal like their peers.[8]
2009 Conference
In early March of 2009, in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, a five-day conference titled "Biological Evolution: Facts and Theories" was held at the Pontifical Gregorian University. The symposium censored presentation of intelligent design and instead invited evolutionists who are hostile to it. Cardinal William Levada, who heads the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, stated that it is "absurd" for evolution to try to eliminate the possibility of God's existence; he added his personal, unauthorized view that those who "have a fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible which they want to see taught to their children in the schools alongside evolution or instead of it." Monsignor Gianfranco Ravasi, head of the Pontifical Council for Culture, claimed that there is "no a priori incompatibility between evolution and the message of the Bible".[9] No intelligent design researcher or advocate was allowed to rebut these comments.

A rep for the 'Guys Do It All the Time' hitmaker states that the Nashville memorial has been set to honor the late singer, but the exact date and location are still unclear.
A memorial service for Mindy McCready is already in the works, the late singer's representative confirmed on Monday, February 18. Mindy's "friends in music" have planned to organize a tribute to the country singer in Nashville. However, the exact date and location of the memorial service are still unclear.
In the Monday statement, the rep said, "To complement formal family arrangements, preliminary plans are being made by Mindy's 'friends in music' to organize a memorial in Nashville in the coming days."
Mindy was found dead in her Arkansas home on Sunday. She was 37. The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office later issued a statement to confirm the singer's death. "Ms. McCready was pronounced dead at the scene from what appears to be a single self-inflicted gunshot wound," it said.
"At this time family members have been notified of the incident. Ms. Mcready will be transported to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy and the matter will be fully investigated."
Mindy's death news came as a big surprise since her boyfriend, David Wilson, had just passed away at the age of 34 around a month ago. There was no specific details on the cause of his death, which caused Mindy's life to go on a downward spiral.

Watching Terence Crutcher walk away from armed police officers and back to his stalled SUV where he then put his hands down was a bit like watching a B-rated horror flick. You know the kind. One of the many protagonists or otherwise dispensable characters walks into a dark room, warehouse, forest — you name it — only to get bludgeoned, eaten, or sawed in half. All the while you've been yelling at the TV, knowing full well what was in store and marveling at the irrational behavior of the poor victim (which you, of course, would never be guilty of yourself). We think this way fairly often, recognizing that bad decisions often lead to bad outcomes, and I suspect that most of us feel completely justified in such considerations. Yet somehow it has become impossible to apply this same logic to real life situations involving real life people without hearing those trite and fashionable accusations that we're now beginning to "blame the victim".
I don't think anyone in his right mind believes that Mr. Crutcher, Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, or any of the others who died at the hands of the police deserved to be killed or can be considered wholly responsible for their own untimely deaths. But I also don't understand how anyone in his right mind can note the behavior of these individuals and then still be surprised at what finally transpired. In virtually every publicized case over the past few years there almost always existed some form of aberrant conduct (or at least questionable conduct) that certainly should have been handled better by police, but which also never should have occurred in the first place. And yet to draw attention to this factor is immediately to brand oneself a racist, as if we don't apply this same standard to white men as well. Spare me, please. We're all perfectly happy to tell you that we do. It's what led police to shoot an unarmed Dillon Taylor as he kept one hand hidden behind his back. It's what brought about the demise of Devin Guilford after a church basketball game. It's what got Andrew Henson killed back in June, and then Dylan Noble just over two weeks later. And it's what got the deaf Daniel Harris shot dead this past August, and shot by a black trooper to boot. And this is only a partial listing. In all fairness to Harris, I might add, one does need to recognize that he may have been attempting to use sign language when he was killed, which may or may not be true. But even assuming for the moment that it is, our principle here remains the same: belligerence and unconventional movements often lead to unfortunate results.
I'm reminded of a portion in Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink, where he addresses the caution with which policemen approach drivers, usually advancing from the rear and shining their flashlights during those stops which take place in the evening. "Why can't the officer stand and talk to me face-to-face, like a normal human being?" he asks.
The reason is that it would be virtually impossible for me to pull a gun on the officer if he's standing behind me. First of all, the officer is shining his flashlight on my lap, so he can see where my hands are and whether I'm going for a gun . . . The police procedure, in other words, is for my benefit: it means that the only way the officer will ever draw his gun on me is if I engage in a drawn-out and utterly unambiguous sequence of actions.
Of course, this is what happens in an ideal situation where the officer supposedly has complete control and is engaging his suspect properly. In those cases where protocol isn't followed or where uncooperative suspects have brought about increased tensions, there then exists a chance that something somehow may go horribly wrong — fatally wrong.
In explaining the perils of excessive stress upon the brain, Gladwell appeals to, former military man and author, David Grossman who suggests that when under pressure we think most clearly when our heart rate is somewhere within the range of 115 to 145 beats-per-minute.
"After 145," Grossman says, "bad things begin to happen. Complex motor skills start to break down. Doing something with one hand and not the other becomes very difficult . . . At 175, we begin to see an absolute breakdown of cognitive processing . . . The forebrain shuts down, and the mid-brain — the part of your brain that is the same as your dog's (all mammals have that part of the brain) — reaches up and hijacks the forebrain. Have you ever tried to have a discussion with an angry or frightened human being? You can't do it . . . You might as well try to argue with your dog." Vision becomes even more restricted. Behavior becomes inappropriately aggressive . . .
It would be interesting to know where Betty Shelby's heart rate was at a time when she had ostensibly never been so scared in her life. And quite frankly, if she really was that scared, then we can probably all agree that Bill Maher is right: she's in the wrong line of work.
None of this is to suggest that the archetypical racially-prejudiced dirty cop doesn't exist. Quite the contrary. One study, in fact, which found that officers are no more likely to use lethal force against African-Americans also found that officers are more likely to use non-lethal force against this same group — a study carried out by Roland Fryer from the National Bureau of Economic research, himself a black man, should you insist on making that an issue. If we're honest with ourselves, we know it's entirely probable that some — certainly not all, but undoubtedly some — of this non-lethal force must have been the result of biased authority figures abusing their power. People are people, after all. And if cops are people, then it's reasonable to suppose that they too are subject to many of the same strengths and weaknesses as the population at large.
But however true this supposition might be, however many rogue patrolmen like to rough up suspects of color (or unjustly profile black men in general for that matter), we ultimately find ourselves faced with a narrative that is quite different from the one being told by those involved with the Black Lives Matter movement, which has often implied (or in some cases maintained quite explicitly) a concerted effort on the part law enforcement to exterminate the African-American male. Given the data in Fryer's study, however, the psychological research, and the existence of similar incidents perpetrated against white victims, it seems entirely disingenuous to assign this kind of blame to the responsible officers as if we can assume that these officers intentionally singled out minority victims simply because, well, "they're racists and want to kill black people." To do so is no better and not much different than convicting an innocent African-American for a crime simply because "he's black and must have done it" — a travesty of justice which is part of what got us into this situation in the first place. More likely, various psychological stressors are at play which have continuously been exacerbated by the egregious rates of crime within the black community and which have been further aggravated by growing anti-cop sentiment. We shouldn't be surprised, then, at the number of shaky trigger fingers. We should expect them. And in the absence of more complete evidence, we should simply assume that mistakes were committed, not murders.

Women are drawing penises on their eyes.
The shocking new look has become a viral trend among makeup fans who are bored with the usual cat flick look and
they've decided the shape of man's genitalia works well drawn across the eyelid.
The new craze was sparked by makeup enthusiast Asia Brautigam but the 19-year-old insisted she didn't intend to poke fun at professional makeup artists and traditional looks.
Asia told Buzzfeed: "I think they're all creative and amazingly talented! My dick-liner will never compare!"

This footage, taken in Roosevelt National Forest in Colorado, appears to capture a dark fur covered creature jumping from one rock to another. The footage, taken by Gary Bouvier's father during a Boys scout survival camping trip in 1962, is the earliest Bigfoot footage known to exist. Mr Bouvier, the scout leader who captured the footage, stated the creature was covered in brown fur and paused to look directly at him before walking away. The scouts were then instructed not to wander away from camp at any time during the camping trip.

We'll be lucky enough to have at least two of our grandkids come visit for Christmas (or near enough to count as a Christmas visit). Maybe all four will make it.
Drought is over - in terms of fire bans - so I hope to be doing a fair amount of cooking outdoors while they are here.
We always smoke something (brisket, ribs, pork butt, etc.) when we know we have company and family coming, and will during the holiday.
I hope to try some things that I am out of practice with, like cast iron (dutch oven) cooking, grilling over a camp fire, and other activities we could not do when it was so dry.
I'm sure the girls will want to make s'mores, and the adults will want something with less sugar.
What are your holiday outdoor cooking plans?

No outdoor cooking plans here, will likely be too cold or wet. :(
Your plans sound great, though! I would LOVE to live in a climate where I could be outdoors most of the time and do some cooking there as well.

We are fortunate in this regard.
All over the state you hear "God Bless Texas" - it was the way a former Texas Speaker of the House ended each and every session.
It sounds a lot like "God Blessed Texas" - which is also true.
We can cook anytime of the year, and do.

I live in southern CA so it's not fair for my input :) I grilled steaks yesterday for dinner lol. But I will be smoking a pork butt next week when I have some friends over for drinks. Everyone think's its cold being 32 at night
Dec 6, 2011 at 3:30 UTC
southern california with a 32 degree night... I can't say I remember too many of those. but then, I'm in the pacific northwest now, and trying to do any outdoor cooking isn't happening. I can wish though, missing the summer cookouts already.

i'll be throwing a 10# brisket in the electric smoker for christmas eve at my parents.
Dec 6, 2011 at 7:45 UTC
If we're buried in snow by the holidays, and I can't shovel out either of my grilles, then I'm crashing my uncle's place outside Galveston. He better have bacon.
Dec 6, 2011 at 9:31 UTC
Been thinking about grilling something but it's so cold here, the fire froze. Oh well, spring is coming!

text: Right ive got a list of things i want to do. (well my mechanic) And wont to get the required parts for him. So any help on what i need would be great. Im a real novice when it comes to car parts *Remove the intakes to do some decarboning around valves etc *Drop the sump and desludge/ replace pickup (engine very ticky and had oil sensor flash up recently) *Fit new clutch switch as i read they tend to be a common fault and i have jerky gear changes. Thought id try switch before DMF/Clutch *New temp sensor (gauge never seems to move once warm) So question is what parts do i need? Gaskets, Sensors etc.... If someone could find me parts numbers it would be really helpful as my local dealer doesnt like giving them out if im not buying from them. And TPS arent always to sure. P.s I also keep getting these codes: MAP/MAF <-> Throttle Position Correlation P0068 - 007 - Short to Ground - Intermittent Air Intake System: Flow too Low P307A - 009 - Open or Short to Ground - Intermittent Which i assume is probably a dirty MAP sensor from the K&N filter???

Grapefruit Juice is a favourite of mine, and when the topic 'liquid' came up, I thought of this just as I was pouring the last of the juice that I had in the fridge.
It wasn't an overly striking photo, so I decided to highlight the liquid – to be more in theme with the challenge, and to practice my spot colour skills.

How can I save energy at home?
Julian Paren has lots of suggestions! See his presentation called Energy in the Home: Trying to save my 20%
Emily Thomson writes about installing a multifuel stove, and the benefits it brought.
How draught-proof is your house?
by Martin Sherring, TBI energy convener.
Everyone knows they should improve the insulation in their houses, but draught-proofing tends to be taken for granted. Even the phrase "draught-proofing" brings up images of draught excluders made out of old stockings and rolled-up newspapers, and maybe we all think we've got beyond that. But, even in new houses, it's quite possible for up to half of heat losses to be due to ventilation.
I was shocked to discover that, in a well-sealed living space, the normal assumption is that all the air is replaced due to draughts every hour – so all the hot air being produced by your central heating needs to be replaced every hour. The situation is even worse if you have an open fire-place – in that case you can expect the air in the room to be changed five times an hour. And comfort isn't just about temperature – even a relatively warm draught feels uncomfortable, and the easy answer is to turn up the thermostat and burn more fuel.
So, what can be done about it?
Well, it seems like the first thing to do is to block the chimney – a chimney balloon is cheap and does the trick, what's more it can be deflated and removed for the times you want a fire.
After that, it depends on your house and whether the leaks are obvious. If not, the easiest way of tracking them down is with smoke. There are specialist smoke pellets, but these are really designed for tracking down faults in flues, and they produce more smoke than you probably want in the living room. Alternatives are joss-sticks, or if that sounds too 60's, a snuffed out candle – but don't forget to disable your smoke alarm before you start.
Windows and doors are likely culprits, and there are various rubber and foam strips available to reduce the problem – but if the gaps are big, then more serious joinery work may be called for. Letter boxes are maybe less obvious problems – wall-mounted external boxes are better, but if you already have a letter box, consider one of those internal boxes to keep the dog away from the post. Cat-flaps are difficult too – in the days when we had cats, we never found a solution to that one, but if any reader can help, let us know.
Once you've dealt with the obvious gaps, check out the junctions at the top and bottom of skirting boards, between door/ window frames and walls, and around pipes into the house – for electricity, water, overflows, in fact anywhere there's a joint or a hole. Suitable materials for sealing the gaps are decorators caulk or expanding foam.
But don't forget that we do need ventilation.
Most houses these days have extractor fans which remove moist air from bathrooms and kitchens, and the more the other gaps are blocked up, the more we need these. In other rooms, trickle ventilation from window frames is normal, and if you have a boiler or stove in the room, normally there will be a vent to ensure it gets enough air. Don't block any of these!
The motto for newly built houses should be "Build tight, ventilate right" – so we get the ventilation when we want it, where we want it. Mostly though, especially in older houses, the amount of ventilation depends on how windy it is, so even if it's the right amount on still days, the draughts whip around our ankles when the wind gets up. So, even with older houses, we should be taking back control and getting rid of the draughts.

@ adamfeuerstein Expecting an article from you about $ZGNX FDA approval..Take Care and continue your excellent review— Green Wizard (@901Wizard) May 6, 2013I don't know the exact reason behind the FDA's delayed approval decision on Zogenix's ( ZGNX) painkiller Zohydro (an extended release formulation of hydrocodone that doesn't contain acetaminophen.) I am fairly confident that whenever FDA does get around to deciding Zohydro's fate -- Zogenix said a decision could come this summer -- the news will be bad. Bottom line: FDA is no longer approving painkillers with abuse potential. Zohydro is abusable, therefore will be rejected. I agree with the bearish take on Zogenix and Zohydro published last week by Jake King at PropThink.
Yesterday sold $ARNA to buy more $SRPT - Could not be happier. RT "@ adamfeuerstein $ARNA withdrawing EU application for Belviq. Oooops!"— Matt Stohl (@mattstohl) May 2, 2013Excellent decision. Speaking of Sarepta Therapeutics ( SRPT), here are my two, new favorite eteplirsen data slides, unveiled by CEO Chris Garabedian during his presentation last week at a healthcare investor conference. He also spoke about them on Thursday's first-quarter conference call. The first slide, showing studies in which untreated kids with Duchenne muscular dystrophy decline on the six-minute walk test, supports the decline in walk distance recorded by placebo patients in the phase II study.
@ adamfeuerstein.Time to change your opinion on ARNA?— carl s (@mikezzz111) May 7, 2013No. We had two pieces of expected news from Arena Pharmaceuticals ( ARNA) in the past week: The rejection of Belviq by European regulators and the completion of the long-delayed DEA scheduling that will finally allow the weight-loss pill to launch next month. The latter did not produce the "mother of all short squeezes" envisioned by the Arena longs because investors shorting (or planning to short) Arena want Belviq to launch. Weak efficacy and questionable heart safety plus big out-of-pocket expense for patients will equal poor Belviq sales.
@ adamfeuerstein Well I'm sure they will try to raise money soon. What's your opinion on $OMTH?— Eminatorus (@Eminatorus) May 7, 2013Omthera Pharmaceuticals' ( OMTH) market value ($166 million) is cheap relative to Amarin ($1 billion market value). That's about the most positive thing I can think to say about Omthera. I struggle to be excited about a third, prescription fish-oil pill for lowering trigylcerides. Amarin ( AMRN) is having enough troubles selling Vascepa, making it hard to see how Omthera would have any better luck with its Epanova pill.

Old News - Newsletter February 2003
I start work on the 3rd March. That suits me, and gives
me a whole month 'off' before hitting the treadmill
again! Very very nice, especially as my Mom is staying
with me at the moment. She's just landed a job in the
Yorkshire Dales, and starts in a couple of weeks, so
we're having fun spending money we *will* have!
Florence was an interesting trip. The town is lovely, and the artwork stunning, but unfortunately 5 days living solidly with Northerner brought an abrupt end to a fading relationship. He's a lovely guy, but not for me perhaps... A great pity, but I hope he finds someone more suited.
That's about it really. I'm free now at weekends if anyone is doing anything interesting! And my new job location is more convenient for travelling into London easily I think, so please start inviting me for pub-quizzes and dinners again - I am back in society again!

I'm a pretty slow reader which can get very frustrating when I see long articles that I have to read. I have seen programs before that say they can make you a speed reader in no time. Whether they work or not is a good question; I normally believe them as much as I believe those diet pills that can shed 50 pounds in a week!
ZAP Reader is different though. It isn't some crazy program that starts you off with "eye exercises" that make your eyes want to bug out. It works on a concept that I have never seen before. You can customize how many words you want it to display on the screen at a given time and how many words per minute (wpm) it should display. ZAP Reader defaults to 300 wpm and one word on the screen.
According to this reading test I currently read 200-250 words per minute. Just like in the demonstration below I changed the ZAP Reader Settings to 600 wpm and had it display 2 words at a time. At that speed I can comprehend everything as well as I did before, but I am doing it more than twice as fast.
You're probably wondering what you need to install to use this. Well, nothing. ZAP Reader is completely Web based and works in browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox without any problem. Here is how you use it:
- ZAP Read – Right-click on the "ZAP Read" link and choose "Add to Favorites" (for Internet Explorer) or "Bookmark this link" (Mozilla Firefox).
- Select text on a page and then click your new "ZAP Read" Favorite or Bookmark to ZAP Read the selected text.
Plug-ins for applications like Microsoft Outlook and Word are going to be available soon as well. There is also a WordPress plug-in that will be made so that a ZAP Reader button can be added to all of your posts. You can see the button being used at the ZAP Reader blog.
If you want to see ZAP Reader in action without testing it out yourself then watch this quick video that demonstrates all of the features:

Yesterday I meet with my classmate outside school and we talked for a while until she said she had to, I was so damn nervous... anyway, I shook her hand I guess too hard because her hand bones cracked and she didn't say nothing but it she looked more rushed after that. Is this a define turn off?
Are hard handshakes a turn off to women?

Top Review by SharonChen
This thing is freaking delicious!!! Couldn't find sun-dried tomatoes, so I ended up cutting some fresh tomatoes for this recipe. Someone in my family can't handle spicy food, so I only added one chipotle pepper from a can into the mixture, then used chipotle chili pepper to make up for the flavor. My family LOVED it! Will make it again!

The Hallé's Shakespeare theme this season gave Mark Elder the perfect excuse to dust down the score of Richard Strauss's rarely heard first tone-poem, Macbeth. Strauss himself eventually came to disparage this youthful effusion, and for memorability and individuality it hardly rivals the tone-poems he was on the point of writing, namely Don Juan and Death and Transfiguration. Yet at the time he rated Macbeth highly enough to revise it twice, and it still makes an enjoyable concert-opener.
In common with many late-Romantic orchestral works (Mahler's First Symphony for one), Macbeth pays homage to the portentous opening of Beethoven's Choral Symphony. But it soon develops a harmonic pungency of its own and a characteristic relish for orchestral opulence. No slave to detailed programme, the structure unfolds with an assurance remarkable for a 23-year-old, ably reinforcing the message of failed ambition. This Elder himself pointed out in his nicely judged prefatory remarks, and he suited the action to his words in a performance of authority and sweep.
Beethoven's First Piano Concerto could easily have been anti-climactic, but Elder and his soloist, Lars Vogt, had other ideas. It took Vogt a minute or so to get into the groove, but once settled he had fresh and stimulating ideas about almost every phrase. The big first movement cadenza - sometimes reckoned an embarrassment because of its loose construction and moments of apparent dottiness - epitomised his recreative freedom. The slow movement was balm for the soul, the finale a riot of colour and verve.
Not to be outdone, Elder persuaded the Hallé strings to play without vibrato throughout and the whole orchestra to aim for maximum transparency, as if playing the best period orchestras at their own game - and winning. Except that competition played no part in this performance. It was all about opening up space for us to relish Beethoven's idealised Enlightenment drama of nobility, playfulness and wit.
Dvorak's Seventh Symphony is a near-contemporary of Strauss's Macbeth, and it speaks in the same glowering D minor tones, albeit with a more distinctive regional accent and cocooned in the kind of Brahmsian protective coating Strauss was in the process of sloughing off. Elder's instincts were fundamentally sound, but orchestral balance never quite settled, and some of the nuances felt applied and calculated, rather than organic and spontaneous as they had been in the Beethoven.

Microsoft is developing the sequel of the popular Windows Phone game, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I, in such a way that you will be able to play the Sonic Episode 2 on both Windows Phone and XBOX Live platforms.
Ken Balough, Digital Grand Manager for Sonic Episode 2, says that Sonic Episode 2 that saves on Windows Phone will load up on XBOX 360 and vice-versa. "So when you pick up the Windows Mobile 7 and you'll be able to play Sonic Episode II, save it, stop, boot up your XBOX 360 and pick up right where you left off."
Software giant Microsoft has been commenting about such sort of integration for some time now. In March 2010, six months before the launch of Windows Phone 7, it demonstrated an Indiana Jones platform that could run across XBOX 360 and Windows Phone using the same save file stored in the Cloud. But Sonic Episode 2 is going to mark the first instance of this being made available to the end users.
By the time the Sonic Episode 2 is officially released by Microsoft, you can hone your gaming skills by playing the currently available Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I.

PACT Act Passed by Senate Committee
Members had no objections to the amended law preventing online cigarette trafficking.By Mehgan Belanger
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With unanimous support, S. 1147, the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act (PACT Act) was approved yesterday by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and will head to the full Senate.
If passed, the bill would prevent illegal untaxed cigarette trafficking and access to tobacco products by youth by prohibiting online and mail-order sales of tobacco. If the bill is signed into law, its regulations would go into effect 90 days following the enactment by the president, according to the version passed yesterday by the committee.
The PACT Act was passed in the House in May.
The Coalition to Stop Contraband Tobacco -- a group made up of several trade associations, public officials and a unit of a major tobacco company, among others -- gathered on Capitol Hill earlier this week to urge the committee to pass the legislation.
Some trade association members of the Coalition to Stop Contraband Tobacco include NACS, AWMA, FMI, NATO, NATSO, PMAA and SIGMA. Altria Client Services, a division of Altria Group, is also a member of the coalition on behalf of Philip Morris USA and U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co.
"At the very time when states have undertaken extraordinary efforts to restrict minors' access to cigarettes and continue to increase cigarette excise taxes, the Internet still offers minors a virtually risk-free and attractively priced means to easily obtain them," Hank Armour, president and CEO of NACS, said in a statement ahead of the committee's passage. "The PACT Act addresses long-standing concerns that law-abiding neighborhood convenience stores have with respect to tax evasion and underage sales."

France coach Didier Deschamps unsurprisingly refused to reveal his tactical plan ahead of Thursday's Euro 2016 semi-final with Germany but said he has decided on what system will be used in the game.
"I have finished thinking about it but it is in my head and no one will get in there before tomorrow," he joked with reporters at a news conference Wednesday.
France thrashed Iceland 5-2 in the quarter-finals but both midfielder N'Golo Kante and centre-back Adil Rami are available again for the clash in Marseille after suspension.
There is also a question mark over whether Antoine Griezmann will continue to play off main striker Olivier Giroud or if he will be switched to a wide position.
Deschamps has appeared unsure of his strongest XI throughout the tournament and France emerged as winners of Group A despite unconvincing late wins over Romania and Albania, and a draw with Switzerland.
Even Ireland, in the last 16, led them at half-time before a Griezmann double saved the day.
Now facing World Cup winners Germany, who Deschamps described as the "best side in the competition," there can be no room for error.
"We've always had this confidence, and desire, to get to where we are today," he said. "It's not been a linear process but the players have done everything needed to get to this point."
Rami is likely to be recalled in place of Samuel Umtiti alongside Laurent Koscielny at the heart of defence but Kante presents a bigger dilemma, if he returns at all.
Blaise Matuidi has been one of the few players Deschamps has considered undroppable in the tournament and Paul Pogba finally hit his full potential against Iceland.
So if Pogba is not dropped, Moussa Sissoko is the obvious fall-guy from the right of midfield but that would leave the side effectively in a classic 4-3-3, with Griezmann and Dimitri Payet either side of Giroud.
With Germany having conceded only once - a needless penalty at that - in their five games, it remains to be seen if that will suffice to trouble their backline.
"Germany are always used to dominating the opposition, hogging the ball – they typically have more possession than the opposition – but we can't think about simply defending and trying to catch them out," Deschamps said.
"We simply have to play to the best of our ability."
France are seeking to become the first hosts to win the title since they themselves lifted the trophy in 1984, a precursor to their 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 triumphs.

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Friday put an interim stay on an ACB court order directing the anti-graft agency to probe allegations against Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu with regard to "cash-for- vote" case. Justice Raja Ilango also directed the ACB to file its counter and posted the matter after eight weeks.
Naidu had filed a petition in the HC on Wednesday requesting it to quash the private complaint filed against him by YSRCP MLA Alla Ramakrishna Reddy in the "cash-for-vote" case. Ramakrishna Reddy, in his petition, alleged that Chandrababu was also a conspirator in the case and "committed" the offence of offering bribe to a nominated MLA of Telangana.
On August 29, the ACB court had asked the anti-graft agency (ACB) to probe the allegations made in the complaint against Chandrababu Naidu with regard to the cash-for-vote case involving TDP's Telangana MLA A Revanth Reddy, and submit a report on its investigation in the case on September 29. Naidu also urged the court to quash the order passed by the ACB court.
When contacted, P Sudhakar Reddy, the counsel for the YSR Congress MLA, said that the court has not stayed the overall investigation by the ACB into the case. In May 2015, nominated MLA in Telangana Assembly Elvis Stephenson had lodged a complaint alleging that he was offered Rs 5 crore by Revanth Reddy to vote for Telugu Desam nominee in the election to the Telangana Legislative Council on June1.
On May 31, ACB arrested Revanth Reddy, Bishop Sebastian Harry and Rudra Udaya Simha when they were allegedly handing over an advance sum of Rs 50 lakh to Stephenson. TDP MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah was arrested in the case later. All of them were subsequently granted bail.
A charge sheet filed by the ACB on July 27 last year had mentioned TDP chief Naidu's name, but not as an accused. An audio tape of Naidu's purported conversation with Stephenson over phone on May 30, a day before the ACB arrested Revanth, found its way to the media.

Channel 4 short to highlight Green Party's election agenda
The Channel 4 Political Slot today (19.55, Thursday 25 February) will set out the Green Party's stall ahead of the general election.
The film, to be broadcast after the Channel 4 evening news, will feature party leader Caroline Lucas, the Green MEP for South East England.
The three-minute film, made by McDougall Craig North for Channel 4 and directed by Daisy Leitch, was filmed in Brighton, where Caroline Lucas has been tipped by bookmakers and opinion pollsters ICM and YouGov to be on course to win the Pavilion seat in the coming general election.
The film starts with Caroline Lucas asking the question: "What do you want your MP to fight for?" and surveys the responses of a number of members of the public, highlighting concerns about jobs, pensions and the NHS – and the Green Party's response in its general election campaign under the banner Fair is worth fighting for.

Vehicle2009 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited 4dr SUV AWD w/VDC (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 4A)
Review7 mo/7000 miles, so far so good. Almost bought a RAV4 V6, but didn't like paying extra for accessories and hated RAV4 looks. However, would have bought a V6 Forester if available vs turbo-4cyl. While the car is fun, sometimes it seems it can't decide whether to downshift or use turbo, so performance is jerky with some lag at times. Could be due to 4spd auto tranny (or my driving style, which is avg to a little aggressive). MPG is ok, 20-23mpg avg, with up to 25 seen during a recent 1000 mile trip. I installed aftermarket oil temp and turbo gauge b/c I like to be more informed about engine status vs silly idiot lights. However, I still think its the best small SUV on the market, no regrets.
Best Featureshuge moonroof, looks (wheels, hood scoop, rear wing, and optional sport grill look awesome!), handling, AWD, stereo controls on steering wheel, size, visibility (vs RAV4), ground clearance, leather heated seats with lumbar support, rugged package, safety features
Worst FeaturesBetter interior materials/exterior paint (mine already has lots of scratches/dings inside/outside after only 7 months!), update tranny, offer V6, bring back a real temp gauge! Put turbo gauge on turbo models (seems like a no-brainer), round cup holders, larger mud guards (seem like an afterthought).

STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY Oct 2015
Amsterdam: Thomas van Schaik photography
"After picking up a camera some 20 years ago, I started experimenting with still life and landscape photography. In the meantime I have graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague, and started my own studio, based near Amsterdam.
Over the years I have focused mainly on still life and product photography.
I recently started working on bigger sets in my studio but I also like shooting on location. I have shot a lot of products and by doing this I have learned to look closely and find the right angle for each object. This knowledge helps me today to see what would work best for the product and the set in general.
Recent clients include Staples, Philips, EYE Film Museum and &Klevering.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days. When your Mercedes-Benz GLE300d rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who wants European styling in their automobile. You purchased your GLE300d because its performance and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
Fortunately for you, your vehicle contains a means to eliminate the odors from the heat or air conditioning before it enters the passenger compartment. Once only standard equipment in luxury vehicles and European imports, cabin air filters can be found today in vehicles like your Mercedes-Benz GLE300d. Based on the same style and construction as the intake air filter, the cabin air filter is made of a paper or fiber element that removes dust and other debris and can be optionally charcoal-impregnated to eliminate odor.

Hi we have exchange server running on our Serevr 2003 Small Business Edition.
Were likely to be moving offices in a few months. i want to start planning the move
My biggest concern is keeping the email server up during the weekend of the move. whats the best way obviously ill need a new exchange server for the new site when the move is in progress. but how do i get it to autoroute stuff to that email server? Just ue MX Records?
Any advice would be great.

Olive Labs is an IT service provider.
store and forward, postini does this, trimmail does this along with being really nice spam filters and antiviruses... i'm sure there are many others...
basically point mx record to the store&forward box and if your mail server goes down... as you plan to have it... it will keep messages and check for the mail server to come back online, as soon as the mail server comes back online it'll forward all mail to it.
we did this last year by putting a trimmail box in a colocation (data center) and its still setup that way today. so if i loose my internet connection at corporate or i need to reboot my mail server or take it offline to do a defrag... etc etc... i will not loose any mail.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

This past Monday, the sports world got to see the inaugural NCAA College Football Playoff Championship game. The 13-2 Oregon Ducks (Pac 12) took on the 14-1 Ohio State Buckeyes (Big Ten) at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Gametime was 8:30 PM ET and it was seen on ESPN TV. Let's recap how the Buckeyes took over this game.
The Ohio State Buckeyes surprised most with their 42-20 win over the Oregon Ducks. And the incredible display of running talent from Buckeyes RB Elliott who scored 4 touchdowns in the game, and accounted for almost 50% of the offensive yardage for Ohio State, with his 246 yards gained on his 36 carries.
The Buckeyes had 28-1st downs with some 538 total offensive yards, with 242 passing and 296 rushing with 4 turnovers, and ball possession for 37:29 minutes. On the other side the Ducks had 20-1st downs on 465 total offensive yards, with 333 passing and 132 rushing, with 1 turnover, and ball possession for 22:31 minutes of the game.
The offensive leaders for the Oregon Ducks in the game, was QB Mariota who completed 24 of his 37 passes for 333 yards, with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. RB Tyler & QB Mariota combined for 22 carries for 101 yards and no touchdowns. Receivers Marshall and Stanford combined for 12 receptions for 230 yards with Marshall scoring 1 TD.
Leading offensively for the Ohio State Buckeyes was QB Jones, who completed 16 of his 23 pass attempts for 242 yards, with 1 TD and 1 interception. RB Elliot and QB Jones combined for 57 carries for 284 yards with Elliot scoring 4 touchdowns and Jones scoring 1 TD. Receivers Smith & Thomas combined for 6 receptions for 129 yards and no touchdowns.
The Ohio State 3rd string QB Jones had another amazing game, but the star of the game was MVP Ezekiel Elliot who rushed some 36 times in the game and scored 4 touchdowns, and Elliot only lost yardage on one of his 36 carries. His coach Myers said Elliot is one of the best post-contact players I've ever seen. In the second half of the game, he was the difference as he scored 3 times as he averaged 6.8 yards per carry.
The unmentioned phase of the game was the Buckeyes dazzling defense that only allowed the Ducks to only gain a 1st down on 2 of their12 third downs, and that was against a team that during the season converted some 52 percent of their 3rd downs.
So football fans, who bet on college football at SBG Global, what happened in this game for the Oregon Ducks, was that the Ohio State Buckeyes simply outplayed, out executed, and outmuscled the Ducks as the Buckeyes were much more physical in this inaugural playoff game. That topped with the Oregon defense that allowed the Buckeyes to gain 538 offensive yards, and an offense that struggled, even after they got the ball back on four of Ohio States turnovers.

What a freaking mess! I have been trying to straighten my ribbon so I can fit it all in one drawer and I have to tell you, it is a bigger job than I expected! This is only a small portion of my ribbon, I'm ashamed to say and I have been trying to sort through the mess and tie up loose ends. I have worked on this for a couple of days and I'm getting close to giving up! It is overwhelming!! The reason I have so much is I inherited my Mom's ribbon from all her craft projects and I received a bunch from an online store I used to purchase from often. That was back when I was working. She would send a piece of ribbon with each purchase and they came in a little plastic bag all nice and neat. Well those plastic bags just do not store well for me. They slip and slide and so you never know what you have. If anyone has any suggestions for storing ribbon, please let me know! I'm at my wits end with this mess!
Well that is what is on my workdesk this morning! Please forgive the mess! It has begun to slid off into the floor and I have had to go crawling after several little spools. This old lady is way to old to be down on her hands and knees chasing spools of ribbon!
Have a wonderful day! And remember to breathe! In and Out....that's it! It can be a very calming thing and Lord knows I need to be calm today!

I'm hoping this was a scheduled post, as it is 11:25PM here and I'd see why you are losing it. Much too late to think about a ribbon mess. I sorted mine my color, wanted to use a dowel to hang them, but with 2 cats who play not the solution, so they are in drawers standing so I can see the texture and color. Have fun, good luck and you better keep Breathing..

I used dowels too... but ended up with too much ribbon even for that. I now have a CD storage unit with little 10"x6" drawers about 6" deep, and I colour-code all my ribbons into the little drawers. I have seen a box with little holes in, especially for ribbon storage - and a friend once made some out of show boxes. Basically, you poke the end of the ribbon through a hole in the box, and pull it out when needed - of course, the drawback is that you can't see how much of that ribbon you have left.
Well, I think your desk looks beautiful... all that ribbon atop of it looks gorgeous ! *lol*
Have a wonderful WOYWW!

Hi Glenda, I have the perfect solution to your ribbon problem ! Buy an embroidery hoop, quite a large one and hang your ribbons by making a loop and threading the two ends through !Then hang the hoop on a hook !
It works for me and your ribbons dont get creased !! Hope this helps....
love and hugs
chris richards

By the way Glenda, I only buy lengths of ribbon so that I can them on the hoop but you could cut lengths from the spools to store this way or hang the spools on the hoop/hoops !
good luck !

You think you have a problem, ha, not seen anything to match my ribbon mess yet. I tried to sort it out the other week, took all of spools wrapped into hanks about 8 inch long and then did a loose overhand knot. Looks a lot tidier - but then I haven't tried to unravel any since.

Most of my ribbon are in jars, still in their packets or on a dowel, not in camera shot...which is why I always forget where they are!, I still think the dowel idea is a good one, if the ribbons are on a spool that fits it, it's nice to see what you have! Some people like draws though, but tried that and made an even bigger muddle!!

I love ribbon but it can be such a pain to store. I keep my spools on what looks like recycled kitchen towel holders, but they were made for me by my husband. Basically they have a round, flat base, with a length of dowling sticking up from the centre that I put the spools over. Of course, I've also got a drawer full of odds and ends too though!

Love all the ribbon, especially the thought of you chasing ribbon. Mine is in 2 drawers, on the wall on two ribbon spaces and in a basket. Pieces go nice in a drawer, you can put your favorites on a upright dowel, if you don't have wall space, like an upright paper towel holder. I wish you luck with your ribbon and hope you have a wonderful day.

All fit in 1 drawer?? Oh honey, you don't know from ribbon. I put my rolls into plastic boxes sorted by type (satin, organdy, metallic, wired, etc). The boxes sit on shelves and can be slid out to view the contents. This sound organized, but it regularly gets out of control and needs straightening often.

Ohhhh, I love ribbons too but they are a pain to store. I've seen them in jars, stored by colours but who has room for that? I keep mine in clear plastic shoe storage boxes so I can see which bolt of ribbon is where. That works for me but probably not for everyone. Good luck! Thanks for the visit and have a great week!

Ah Glenda, you're leaning on an open door - ribbon must be the hardest storage., I have some on reels in drawers, some in long lengths on book rings hanging on the back of the door, and 'pieces' in a large and tangled blob in a huge glass jar. I've blogged about it several times. I have no answer. But.....am kinda glad not to be alone!

I've got a couple of paper towel holders on my peg board that I put some of my ribbons on – unfortunately I've got some spools with very small holes in the centre and the dowel on the towel holder won't go through them, so they are in a box. Small scraps are loose in a drawer. I don't have that much ribbon compared with some of you as I don't use it all the time but it's nice to have for occasional projects. Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #84

My word, but you have a lot of ribbon. Looks like heaven to me, I am a ribbon junkie! LOL at the image of you crawling on the floor, if I had to do that I would have to crawl to the nearest wall to help myself up again.
My wonderful DH made me a ribbon storage that works like a charm. It is basically a wooden frame with dowels spced at intervals of about 6 inches. The spools then just slide on and it looks pretty cool too!
Happy ribbon sorting (it always looks worse just before it is sorted)

My ribbon is completely out of hand again, too. I have one drawer all neat and tidy, sorted by color, and a basketful of ribbons rolled up and bagged up, sorted by type. However, more ribbon has been added and I haven't dealt with it yet. I like to keep my ribbon spools loose so I can carry them to my stamp table. I really need to get a grip on my ribbon and paper obsession.

When participating in intense sports it is important to have information about sports nutrition. Often people workout without proper knowledge of how the body works, what nutrients are required to sustain a workout and how the body utilizes the nutrients that are provided. People are also unaware about the essentials of a sport drink and post-workout feeding.
To increase your athletic performance, a balance intake of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fluids is necessary. The right balance of nutrients will improve the body composition which increases strength, speed, and coordination. Your diet plan must include a balanced of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy products lean meats, beans, and essential fats. Sports nutrition will also help recover swiftly after an intense workout.
An optimum sports nutrition intake should ideally be that of:
This translates to eating healthy i.e. diet high in carbohydrate and low in fat and protein than average. The key ingredients in sports nutrition are carbohydrates, protein, fats, fluids and iron. A consistent exercise requires a good supply of high-quality energy to the working muscles.
Carbohydrate is a very important fuel for the exercise. It is essential because:
Therefore aim at consuming about 8- 10 grams of carbohydrate per kg of body weight per day. It's best to cut back on fat and increase the carbohydrate intake.
Let your main meal be based around carbohydrate foods such as potatoes, brown rice, pasta, chappatti, bread and so on. As these complex carbohydrates take a bit longer to be digested and absorbed into the body. As it takes a longer time to breakdown, it provides energy at a slower rate than simple sugars.
Starch and fiber are also good complex carbohydrates as it is broken down and stored as glycogen, however as fiber takes a longer time to get digested it is not available as a source of energy. Foods high in starch include whole grain breads, cereals, pasta, and grains. Porridge is a good high-carbohydrate choice to start the day with. Drink fruit juice with meals and a milky drink at bedtime. To avoid burn out during your training session consume fresh or dried fruit, crackers, wheat bread and jam as this cuts down the glycogen loss and boosts your performance. Eat a balanced breakfast and continue eating a variety of high-quality foods throughout the day.
Fluids are very important for people engaged in serious sports. Dehydration is something to watch out for. Even a small percentage of fluid loss means that the body operates at less than 80% of the potential. And severe dehydration can be dangerous to the health.
Consuming enough water, particularly in hot climates or if you are a champion sweater. It's a good idea to consume sports drinks as they have a slight edge over plain water.

Going the LIC way, LIC Housing Finance has decided to have a roster of agencies to cater to its growing business.
In spite of having Mudra as its advertising agency for the past two years, the housing finance company has recently roped in Radeus Advertising, the sister agency of TBWA India.
Its latest campaign under the banner- `No worries', has been created by Radeus Advertising and the media buying has been assigned to TBWA Media.
Speaking to Business Line, Mr Ashok Dasgupta, Managing Director, LIC Housing Finance, said: ``Quite a few agencies have already introduced themselves to us and we are in the process of empanelling some.''
Added Ms Usha Sangwan, General Manager - Marketing, LIC Housing Finance, ``At the moment, we are still test marketing this new campaign and depending on our marketing strategies, we might decide to continue with it.''
Having increased its advertising spends over the years, the company has decided to appoint agencies on a project-to-project basis and depending on the kind of work they do, would be retaining them on their roster.
For instance the `No Worries' campaign created by Radeus is expected to run for a period of three months and is being treated as a new project by the housing finance company.
Added Ms Sangwan, ``Depending on our marketing needs and the response we get from this campaign, we will decide whether we would want to continue with it or not.''
Explaining the strategy behind the latest campaign, Mr Kurien Mathews, Director, TBWA India, said: ``The `No Worries' campaign is about the insurance linked product which is unique to LIC Housing Finance. The size of the account will depend on a quarter-to-quarter basis.''
Meanwhile, both Mudra and Radeus Advertising are also in the fray pitching for LIC's lucrative advertising along with a host of other agencies.
