You didn't mention any sort of requirements or preferences, if you like old names that have fallen out of use or names that aren't traditionally considered names like Sargent etc. so I'll suggest some older names that are very rarely used.
The one l like best is Hezekiah nn Ki
Good luck

text: Title: Excite Truck Out: Now (US, JPN, EUR) RRP: £35.00 Published by: Nintendo Developed by: Monster Games, Inc Genre: Racing Number of Players: 1-2 You start off with four Stages to complete – Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. You can complete each stage on to different modes – Easy and Hard. Each stage has five areas to unlock and complete, the main idea is to get the highest grade on each area – a S-Grade this requires you to collect a certain number of stars. You gain stars by coming in first, second or third place, by drifting, catching big air, smashing other trucks, driving through trees without smashing into them. You can get 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 stars but its best to try to aim for the big 5 which awards you with a point which adds on to your award points – more about that later. Excite Truck isn't the prettiest game for the Wii but it does have some good moments like when your in mid air you get a nice view of what's below and ahead of you, the reflects of the water and the water effects while driving through it, the truck detail and the flames which come out of your Truck. Excite Truck displays a great sense of speed while boosting everything turns blurry and looks amazing. Awards – you get them by getting a five star on various stuff, which I mentioned above. By getting a five star on something you get one point nearer to a gold award. There are icons around the track which when to drive through them they either - Shape the land for your advantage or add a set of rings in the middle of the air which if you go through them you get stars - hit each of them and you get five stars. There is also another Icon which will make your Truck invincible this is often near a set of Trees - use this to your advantage - use it while going through trees to get a five stars tree run without crashing or hit another opponent and that truck goes flying to give you a 5 stars truck smash. While boosting you Temp (shown at the bottom, right) will increase if you get over the red mark then you engine will blow – you think that is it but no, you can still continue playing the game but at a slower pace. When the needle goes down back to the blue section you can boost. To make the Needle to go down quicker and your engine not to blow you must drive in water or in the air – the needle doesn't go up while your boosting in your in the water and sudden ping blears out of the Wii remote speaker when your about to blow your engine and a warning sign appears. Now this may sound all good but there are just a few things that do get on my nerves. Controlling the Truck can be a pain, because it is Motion sensitive you can end out not turn enough ending up into a tree or turning to quickly again ending up into a tree. There's another point – If your going to play this game be ready to get smashed into a lot of trees – not by the opponents but by the controls of different trucks. To get the most out of the controls the truck would need to be with full stats. Each truck has a different set of Stats – Some are good at speeding, some are good at catching air etc. You unlock different Trucks by completing areas with a good enough set of stars. Overall: This isn't such a shabby game – worth a look in if you are sick of playing the same game on your Wii. Sure some parts make you just want to give up but if you don't you get a good experience out of it. Controls: Like every other racing game – Simple. You hold the Wii remote horizontal. Press and hold down the Number 2 button is to accelerate, Press any direction on the D-Pad to Boost. Using the tilt-sensitive to control your Truck. Number 2 button is mostly to select options from the main menu; Number 1 is to go back a menu. Graphics: Not exactly pushing the standards of the Wii but it looks lovely when you're in mid air, shows off the speed of your Truck very well. Sound: Rock and thrash music, which sounds the same. Little sounds from the Wiimote speaker get annoying after a while. Option of using Music from a SD card is a good feature to replace that awful Thrashing music. Gameplay: Can be Challenging. Four stages to complete 2 different difficulty levels, Multiplayer, challenge mode that offers 3 difficulty levels. And finally a Tutorial.

When I decided to enroll at Carrington-Spokane, I will admit, I was scared to death. As an older student I thought I would find my breaking point. And in FA100, I found that point and I wanted to just quit! But I made a major discovery…..I found ME….and I like that me. That me now has the self motivation and highly set goals like never before. And little did I know how much it would change my whole outlook on life. I had gone to college before and had no clue what else I could do to continue my education. From day one until the last day of class I still questioned myself. "How am I going to do this?" But with the staff beginning with enrollment to the end of my externship I was guided and instructed with compassion and caring and so much encouragement I could not fail. It has built up my self-esteem, confidence and knowledge like I could never imagined!! I have completed the Medical Assistant program with honors AND PRIDE! I also had the privilege to be an Ambassador for the afternoon MA program, that gave me even more confidence. During my externship I knew I had made the right decision!! And it has inspired me to continue on with my education. I am now attending online for my Associate's in Science-Health Studies. And after that…..the sky is the limit and time to spread my wings!! I want to thank Hilary Padilla, my FA100 instructor, and Cody Stevens, my instructor for the duration. Thank you Steve Vawter and Marisa Muzatko, my enrollment reps for having faith in me and for your encouragement from the get go. My thank you list could go on and on. So to EVERYONE at Carrington College THANK YOU for guiding ME to redirect and change MY LIFE!
A new beginning

This Week in TV Blogs
I've already given you some of my highlights from the week, but today, I wanted to check in with some of the web's best TV bloggers to see what they were buzzing about. To see what was making headlines this week, just
Marcia returned from the Edinburgh TV Festival with tales of Heroes and Doctor Who, straight from the showrunners' mouths. Also, new site design! (Pop Vultures)
Rae's spent the Summer with her nose buried in a book, and it's finally paying off for us with her review of the Burn Notice novel The Fix. (RTVW Online)
A reason to check out the new season of Greek: chicks in socks. (Scooter McGavin's 9th Green)
Vance loves Gavin and Stacey and insists that you all watch it too, so that you too can fall in love. (Tapeworthy)
This week, Jace took an early look at the first three episodes of the new season of Gossip Girl and offered up which new and returning series he'll be watching this Fall. (Televisionary)
Before the conventions started and we got all partisan, Sara got all "thinky" and discussed the optimistic nationalism of the Olympics. Never fear, we'll soon return to our guttural reactions on Project Runway. (TiFaux)
Raoul got excited about the possibility of a (re)animated Buffy Summers. (TV Filter)

Sorry but I haven't posted lately as I've been preparing my materials for tenure review here at West Chester University of PA.
But, after attending a recent conference hosted by the Association for Technology in Music Instruction (atmionline.org) I have some great new apps to share with you. I'll roll them out over the next few weeks. Here's the first.
If you play an instrument and use a fakebook, iReal Book ($7.99) may be of interest. Its name is based on a fakebook many jazz musicians use called the Real Book. Only this app just displays chord symbols without melody so it's very similar to another fake book called Pocket Changes. As you can see from the screen shots, you can either browse or search the song list (730 to date) in different ways. You can also create your own custom playlists. More songs are being added by other users and you can create your own and submit to the developer for consideration to include in the next revision release.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
What makes this app useful beyond the hard copy version is its ability to change keys. So, if the singer you're accompanying is having an off night and wants to sing All of Me in the key of A, you can quickly alter the chord changes. It also can display in the reverse type style of black background and white text making it ideal for use in low light settings.
There's also an editing program for desktop computers (so far Mac-only) that makes creating your own chord charts much easier. From the editor you can email the chart to yourself or others who have the app or upload to the forums that the developer hosts.
All in all this is an excellent addition to my iPhone and one I'm sure many musicians can put to good use.

Kodak Ektar sample scans!
warning, posted this in nikon d300-100 forum also, but thought some others may like to have a look as well. please forgive my transgression of cross-posting. I've gone thru two rolls and decided i would try to help some others, if i can offer my humble and modest abilities to show this new or rejuvenated film.
personally, i'm not sure it's right for me. my local film supplier gave me a roll, along w/ a roll of Fuji Across 100 b&w, and a roll of Fuji Provia 400x (chrome/transparency) to 'test' and give feedback on... all are 35mm film. and it goes without saying, YMMV.
personally... i'm not sure ektar is for me. i'm a fuji reala guy, and still in love w/ film for this very reason. i want the saturated tones and color channel separation that reala strikes my eyes as having... tough to get in PP, although some others (pursits?) would call bubble-gummy colors, perhaps.
the first roll of acros was NOT good. i dint realize it should've truly been rated at ISO 64. ran first roll at ISO 100 (rated), xtol 1:1... pretty flat unremarkable results. second roll (yes, i went and BOUGHT a second!)... beautiful: rated ISO 64, xtol 1:1 processed at rated (100 ASA).
Provia 400x. well, not sure i'd go slide film at ISO 400, but this is truly the only player in that game i s'pose. i'd prolly stay w/ others (sensia... or UGH! kodak vc400), but don't care to shoot ISO 400 color film too often anyways.
small ektar scans below. LARGE scans in next post (if you're still on dial-up, you've prolly got more to worry about than viewing my modest film scans- eh? scans varied... 'ektar1' files are processed by my local pro lab (NewLab) and scanned by me thru my microtek artixscan m1 pro w/ silverfast, no add'l PP. 'ektar2' scans are local costco, w/ processing- just to 'test' color space difference of my scanner as well as get valid outside reference.
used: F100 w/ nikon 135/2 DC:
used: F100 w/ mostly sigma 24-70/2.8 AND b+w kaeseman CPL:
i dunno, might've used a vivitar series one 28/2 lens on the ferry building shot... don't remember. yes, on the right of last image is Amit Gupta- founder of photojojo. shot during treasure island photo event last weekend, here in san francisco bay area. if it matters, shot w/ couple on pier w/ bay bridge and shot w/ amit are using my nikon 135/2 DC.
again, large scans in next post! you've been warned!

You don't have to say it: Paul knew you'd been missing him. That's why he put himself up for sale at this exclusive speed-dating site. Now you too can, for a small fee, have what special bloggers get free: a date with the Iron Chef of date rape. Don't think eight minutes is long enough to get properly molested? Think…
Click to viewI went on a "date" with self-professed "Casanova" Paul Janka last night. Or well, I went to his apartment. He sniffed my feet. He showed me his bunk bed. It was more like a "play date" actually, only with a dog in heat. It was kind of fun! But not as fun as telling people about it after I narrowly escaped.

Emerson College Renaming School
For the day, that is.
The Boston communication school will be renamed as 'The Ron Burgundy School of Communication.' On December 4th the school will name the school after Will Farrell's 'Anchorman' character.
Farrell will appear in character that day, and deliver a speech about his fictitious rise to journalism greatness. Also on tap, a news conference and a screening of the latest 'Anchorman' flick 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.'
Why couldn't we have done this when I was a student at the New England School of Communications!? Just saying…

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 17 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say a phenomenon called an "extreme supermoon" could create abnormally high tides as the moon makes its closest approach to Earth in 18 years.
Experts say the moon will appear 10 to 15 percent larger than normal and could create high tides from Friday through Sunday that might bring beach erosion and minor shoreline flooding, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Thursday.
"The tides are definitely going to be higher, not only in Florida, but worldwide," astronomer Arnold Pearlstein said.
When it rises on Saturday at sunset will be the best time to view it and the moon should look "huge and orangey," Pearlstein said.
Some believe the supermoon is a foretelling of global chaos including earthquakes and hurricanes, but Pearlstein doesn't buy that.
Still, he said, "It's going to be interesting to see if there will be more wolves howling at the moon."

Puresophistry - Why a Moral Choice in Gaming Is Awful
View Single Post
April 18th, 2013, 17:34
If the whole idea of the game is based around "Good vs Evil - which will you choose" its one thing. But if its a general purpose RPG, I think most of the choices are absurd. Most seem to go something like this:
"You reach the top of the hill. You can now clearly see that the smoke is from a few burning cottages. It appears that the village is being attacked. Will you:
A) Charge your courser down the hill, sunlight glinting off your radiant & heroic smile, slaughter the rogues that are attacking the village, and see justice done!
B) Charge your courser down the hill, help the invaders slaughter the villagers, and bathe in their blood (you evil, evil villain you)!"
Maybe, I don't want to get involved. Maybe I want to sneak in, and get a better view of the situation. Maybe…

Christmas Ideas Nothing Nasty Natural Skincare
Nothing Nasty Products make lovely gifts for the Christmas season! They are thoughtful, healthy, pretty and ethical gifts! We even have some that are festive, like these lovely lip balms. They contain about 3 times as much as most normal lip balm tubes and pots, so are really good value too. We think our Honey and Vanilla Lip balms are just the best (and so do our customers)!
We have been stirring up our own home made delicious Christmas puddings for years, and this year we have made a few to sell too! Our puddings are of course of the highest quality! They are gluten free, and indeed flour free. They contain a much larger percentage of dried fruits than shop bought ones, and this makes them incredibly tasty, full flavoured, yet light. We have tested them at our traditional Christmas Dinner for years, and they always win, hands down, even when eaten along with the best and most expensive puddings around.
But - we only have a few to sell this year, so it is a case of first come, first served. They come wrapped in gorgeous festive fabric (pictured on the right), and you can get them for an introductory price of £10 for a pint sized pudding (ca 500g).Please email us to buy!
Because we are so nice, and because we do not think it is at all fair that the discounts only appear after the C-day, we wanted to give you a little pre-season gift of 10% off your order (and that even includes the delivery charge). To use, enter C11NN at checkout.
UK: Tue 20th December
Europe, USA and Canada: Fri 9th December
South & Central America, Caribbean, Africa, Middle East, Asia, Far East (including Japan), Australia and New Zealand: Monday 5th December
We thought we'd share a lovely testimonial with you:
"Just wanted you to know that I received all four(!) of my packages and your nice note. Everything arrived in very good shape and most has already been put to good use by me and my daughter...We absolutely love your products! It is a very, very dry climate here and the oils have really helped with the never-ending scratchy skin dryness we endure. Many thanks for making our lives better! M. E. Ford, USA

Technology gap, competition and spillovers from direct foreign investment: Evidence from establishment data
Direct foreign investment (DFI) has been argued to be an important channel for international technology diffusion. This has led to extensive liberalisation of DFI regimes in many developing countries, including in Indonesia. Using detailed micro-data from the Indonesian manufacturing sector, we examine the effect on productivity from DFI. The results show DFI to benefit locally-owned establishments, but the effect differs between groups of industries. Spillovers from DFI are found in sectors with a high degree of competition. Moreover, it seems that the larger the technology gap between domestic and foreign establishments, the larger the spillovers.

Even if you don't buy Rihanna's music, you're probably familiar with her name and her pop stardom. That's the brand marketing that her record company does so well.
But that hard-sell marketing may be a double-edged sword in an age when music lovers love nothing more than discovering the next big thing on their own.
"You're having so much stuff thrown at you, like you have Rihanna just blasted at you from all directions," said Jon Pareles in The New York Times Popcast. "And you think: 'Wait a minute, I want something that's mine. I want something that I'm curious about, where my curiosity hasn't been smothered by the barrage of marketing."
On The Daily Circuit Tuesday, Jan. 15, we'll discuss how music fans find new music and how that's changing with musicians finding stardom on the Internet outside traditional marketing methods.
"Pop performers can become truly famous by building their careers themselves online, maybe more efficiently and faster than a major company can help them to do," said Ben Ratliff, jazz and pop critic for The New York Times.
Ratliff will join The Daily Circuit along with Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot.

Wall of hands for cancer1:53
Sarah Murdoch and Gail Kelly joined other women to "put their hands up'' for a future free of breast cancer.
BREAST cancer claims the lives of seven women each day, yet almost half of all women aged over 50 are shunning the chance to have a free bi-annual mammogram.
And the government's failure to increase Medicare rebates for breast scans for 14 years means that when a lump is found, many women are struggling to find around $345 in out-of- pocket costs to have it diagnosed.
An Institute of Health and Welfare report released during breast cancer awareness month shows that on average, one in eight women will develop breast cancer and one in 37 will die from it before the age of 85.
The average age at first diagnosis is 60.
Around 2700 women will die from the disease each year, making it the second most common cause of cancer-related death for women.
However survival rates are improving, 89 per cent of women now surviving five years after diagnosis.
Although it is the most common cancer in women, just 55 per cent of the target group of 50-69 year olds are taking advantage of the opportunity to have a free mammogram every two years.
Women aged over 40 are also elgible for the scans.
Cancer Council of Australia chief Professor Ian Olver says it has proved difficult to raise awareness about breast screening among indigenous women and those who speak English as a second language.
Women should be aware that "the earlier breast cancer is detected the easier it is to treat and the greater the chance of a cure," he says.
The Cancer Institute of NSW, which runs Breastscreen NSW, says many women fail to present for screening because they don't perceive themselves at risk.
"It's an uncomfortable procedure and that also puts people off going," Professor Sanchi Aranda, the institute's deputy chief executive, says.
The Cancer Institute is sending women SMS reminder messages about screening and is trying to incorporate reminders about screens into GP software.
The institute is also purchasing 18 new mobile breastscreen vans so people can walk in and have a scan without the need for an appointment.
Professor Aranda says while the two-year rate for screening is low the three-year rate is around 67 per cent.
"Often people get their reminder at two years and it takes a few months for them to get an appointment," she says.
Meanwhile radiologists are using Breast Cancer Awareness month to warn the Medicare rebate for a private diagnositic mammogram has only increased by $5 since 1998, - and the out of pocket costs have reached a hefty $185.
Similar gap fees apply to breast lump biopsies and there is a $75 patient gap payment for an MRI of the breast.
A spokeswoman for the Health and Ageing Department said "it is the case that all diagnostic imaging has not been indexed for an extended period of time".
However she said the bulk billing of scans is now over 75 per cent and "there is no indication that the public cannot access diagnostic imaging services that they need".
Professor Aranda says women can get follow up scans in the public sector if a lump is found but many women are choosing to go private.

text: Hi, I have no knowledge of Kiev cameras so I need your help. This camera is offered to me as a Kiev model 2 or 2A (II or IIA). It comes with a 2/5cm Jupiter-8M lens. Here are some images from the seller: But looking at these sites I think it is a model 4A, because it hasn't two "stabilizing feet" beneath the bottom plate? http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Kiev_rangefinder Its serial number is #6504396. Is it correct that the first two digits are the production year, making this a 1964 model? I believe the model 4A was made between 1959-1980. The model IIA seems to be made between 1955 - 1959. Asking price is Euro 99 (about USD 130). Is this a fair price if the camera is in good working order? I don't really mind if it is a 2A or a 4A. They look almost the same and I only want it to shoot film with nice older rangefinder cameras. And I like this model, also being a copy of a Contax. A real Contax is a bit more expensive so I'm willing to settle for a Kiev. The seller said he didn't want to lower his price because it is an early model 2 or 2A. I don't think he is lying or cheating, but maybe just mistaken about the model. If I can show him it's a model 4A, maybe he will lower his asking price. I'm driving over tomorrow, so I will see. An other question: is this a good & reliable camera to shoot with? I don't expect Leica quality but don't know what russian copy models are worth the effort or not. Thank you for your help!!

My boyfriend got a violation of probation for a misdemeanor DUI his last day of probation for April 4th his court date is April third I was wondering since it's that close to his last daay of probation what do you think they will do to him he is the sole provider for my daughters and I and I am really scared of losing my home over all of this mess because I have no 1 only him I have no money to get a lawyer so he will be using a public defender I just need to know what I am looking at and what I'm up against for the sake of me in my daughters.
2 Answers from Attorneys
You need to either hire an attorney or get the public defender. He needs counsel in order to help him stay out of jail. Just because the date is close to the end is not going to be a defense. If he gets a PD, they may be able to talk to the judge about keeping him out of jail but you will need to explain the reasons for the violation so a defense can be formed. Since public defenders are overwhelmed a private attorney would be better but there are many qualified public defenders though.
If he is in violation, he faces the original sentencing that could have been imposed (including jail time). The court will look at his general criminal history, his history on probation (was he largely in compliance) and the reason for the violation (eg. did he get a new charge, did his urine test positive for controlled substance) among other factors.
He should communicate with his Public Defender and discuss ways to avoid jail time. He can discuss options such as work release, more community service hours, advanced classes etc. If he has minor children, he should provide this information to his public defender and ask that his PD provide as much evidence as possible on his behalf in an effort of leniency in the event he has no viable defenses.

Complaint Review: Food Lovers Diet
- Food Lovers Diet
United States of America

- Web: foodlovers.com
- Category: TV Advertisements
Food Lovers Diet Refused to Return Product after Lying about timeframe and information content Internet
After 21 days of reviewing and trying the diet, I found it really did nothing for me. I contacted the company to ascertain IF there was a return time frame, as the television ad stated. I was told, like several others who have filed complaints here, that I was to wait til just before the payments were complete to return the package. I explained that I knew at that time that the diet wasnt working for me and would like to return it now.
They stated that I needed to keep the diet system AT LEAST 90 days before I could return the materials. After 90 days, I called for a return sticker and was told that I had waited too long to return the merchandise. I asked if they had any record of my previous phone call and they said no. I told them what had been said to me about the time frame. The person, a male, got EXTREMELY rude with me and told me no one would have said such a thing and all I had to do was look at my materials. I told him there was no information in my box so I called at the 21 day mark because there was no information to state the return date. He told me that was not true, that all packages go out with that information. After much arguing back and forth, the 'dude' told me that they WERE NOT refunding a dime of my purchase, that people like me who lie don't deserve a thing. I asked for his supervisor and he hung up on me.
I called back, asked for a supervisor, was told no one was available at that time and the person took my name and phone number. Of course, I did not receive a call back....even after I called and left 3 MORE MESSAGES!

If you live in Nevada, Oregon, Montana or Delaware, you're in luck. Otherwise, go to Canada or Europe, or those rogues in New Jersey and get your bet on for the NFL weekend! All games are Sunday unless otherwise noted.
Green Bay (-2.5) at Cincinnati — Road favorites are never a real popular pick around here, but if there was ever a time to take one this might be it. The Bengals are a chic pick to make a lot of noise this year, and they very well might, but they've been rather unimpressive so far this year. Green Bay rolled to an easy win over Washington last week and should be able to handle the Bengals by at least a field goal.
Atlanta (+1.5) at Miami — The Dolphins are definitely a pleasant surprise this season behind a suddenly pretty good Ryan Tannehill and his new favorite target, Mike Wallace. And that Dolphins defense is always pretty solid. The Falcons will be by far the best team they've faced though, and that Miami homefield advantage isn't a world-beater by any means. Look for Matt Ryan to have a pretty fun day of tossing the ball to Julio Jones over and over again.
Indianapolis at San Francisco (-10.5) — This game has lots of intrigue. You have former Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh going against former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. You have the Colts marching into the Bay Area fresh off their acquisition of last year's No. 3 pick in the draft and new running back Trent Richardson. And most of all, you have the Niners coming off an embarrassing loss in Seattle that will surely have them ready to beat someone, and beat them good.
Buffalo (+2.5) at New York Jets — The Bills have shown some life, and they have some players in C.J. Spiller and rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel, who almost beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in his NFL debut. The Jets just aren't very impressive. The Bills aren't either, but they're less unimpressive than the Jets.
St. Louis (+3.5) at Dallas — The Cowboys might very well win this game, and if they want to be a contender, it's a game they have to win. But don't expect a blowout and don't be shocked if the Rams pull this one off. It could end up being a battle of field goals between Dan Bailey and Greg Zuerlein.

Paul Simmons, Easyjet's general manager for the UK, talks to BBT editor Martin Ferguson about the airline's move on to the GDSs and its growing credibility in the corporate travel arena
BBT: How successful have the agreements with the global distribution systems (GDSs) been?
PS: I brokered the original deals with Amadeus and Galileo. It started quite slowly and it was definitely a steep learning curve for both Easyjet and the trade. In the beginning there was a lot of scepticism as to whether or not we were in it for the long term. But we've spent the last few years with the Guild of Travel Management Companies [GTMC] and Institute of Travel & Meetings [ITM] members explaining what we're about, and in the last 10 months we have seen strong growth from the GDS and application programming interface [API] channels. About 20 per cent of our overall business comes from the business travel sector, with about half of those bookings made on the GDS and half made direct on Easyjet.com.
BBT: What impact will the recent deal with Sabre have on your business and what will it mean for the trade's perception of Easyjet?
PS: It was important for us to complete a deal with Sabre and have our inventory on all three of the GDSs in the UK market. We needed to be on all three platforms, I think, to be recognised as a serious player in the business travel sector. It was also important for us to do the Sabre deal as it serves American Express Business Travel. That was one of the last pieces of the jigsaw for us in terms of our distribution infrastructure in the UK.
BBT: Can travel buyers and travellers expect to see the introduction of an Easyjet loyalty scheme for its frequent flyers?
PS: We almost certainly won't be introducing a loyalty scheme because of the cost involved. We are a low-cost airline and are working with low margins, so if we started adding frequent flyer schemes and such like we'd start to look like any other legacy carrier - in fact, we'd be in the 'neither/nor' category. We will be pushing the Easyjet Plus card to business travellers - a sort of speedy boarding season ticket. We are also looking at new areas of functionality for business travel that may include benefits, such as parking and passing through security faster.
BBT: What do you still have to do to convince the trade that Easyjet is a genuine alternative to the full service carriers?
PS: The building blocks are in place. Strong reliable schedules to major airports, flexibility for the traveller, GDS and API connectivity, a business dedicated/friendly section in our contact centre - and, of course, better prices than the dinosaurs. Oh, and we fly more passengers every year than BA and Virgin combined. The more enlightened members of the trade have already figured out that the best way to save a client money on short-haul air travel is to switch to Easyjet.
BBT: How well is Easyjet positioned for coming out of the downturn?
PS: We have a great and growing network with a focus on value and quality. We think that's a good place to be in a downturn, and now operate over 500 routes across 29 counties.
BBT: Did Easyjet benefit from the British Airways' cabin crew strikes?
PS: To a small extent. But to be frank we were already beating them. Interestingly, we did see a high volume of BA Gold cardholders take up our free Speedy Boarding offer on strike days.
BBT: Do you predict more consolidation in the airline sector?
PS: There was overcapacity in the airline sector for too long. It became blatantly obvious when the economy faltered at the same time as oil prices hit record highs. The number of people flying fell and there were too many empty seats in the air. Most airlines have adjusted capacity to match demand, but further consolidation is probable over time, both in the low cost and high cost sectors of the industry.
BBT: Would Easyjet ever consider joining an airline alliance?
PS: No. A traditional alliance structure is not compatible with the business model.
BBT: As part of an anti-trust immunity agreement with American Airlines, British Airways will have to relinquish slots at Heathrow. Would Easyjet be tempted to move in?
PS: We always keep our options open, but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath.
BBT: What will Easyjet's new chief executive bring to the business?
PS: This is an exciting time for us. Carolyn [McCall] has a proven track record of successful operational delivery in a fast changing online consumer-facing business combined with extensive plc-board, government and lobbying experience.
BBT: Do you expect more full service carriers to pursue the unbundling model?
PS: As they lurch from one stolen idea to another they are quite likely to have a look at unbundling. But until they address their unsustainable cost bases and outmoded working practices, playing around with unbundling is likely to be a distraction rather than a financial salvation.
- Paul Simmons is Easyjet's general manager for the UK, responsible for the commercial programme and revenue delivery airline for the airline across 10 bases. He joined in June 2006 as head of brand marketing, product and distribution. He led the initiative that saw the airline join the GDSs for the first time. Prior to Easyjet, Paul was EVP sales and marketing for Oberoi Hotels after InterContinental Hotels, where he was VP global brand marketing. Paul is married with two young sons, two dogs and two cats. He lives in Great Brickhill in North Buckinghamshire and is a West Ham United fan.

Do You Have a Good Home Remedy to Stop Japanese Beetles?
They're the summertime bane of Iowa plant lovers. The Japanese beetles are back for another season.
They seem to be very partial to Julie's Cannas. They turn the beautiful leaves into something that resembles lace when they're done. The little fella above was devouring one when I got home tonight. He's no longer with us.
I know the answer isn't those fancy bags that you can buy in stores. Those just attract even more of these, uh, characters.
We purchased a very expensive over the counter "repellent" in the past that seemed to do the trick. However, if you've got an inexpensive home remedy that works, I'd love to give it a try. I'm willing to bet many other people in Eastern Iowa would give it a shot as well.
In the meantime, they'd better watch for my fast hand and heavy foot…

Some of the best things about Tygart Lake are its beauty, the relaxation it offers and the weekend getaways it offers.
But officials are concerned an upcoming project at a nearby mine could change things.
Robert Choff has lived across the street from the park for 18 years and said he absolutely loves it.
"Peace and quiet and being associated with the lake and the camp grounds and just the recreation," he said.
But Choff is concerned that peace and quiet he has learned to love may soon become a thing of the past.
Arch Coal's Leer Mine is planning to install a ventilation shaft in May that is right next door to his home.
"Leer mine is going to drill a 10 foot diameter shaft, 660 feet down to connect to their long wall operation," said Jim Browning, Tygart Lake State Park. "This mine will blow air out of the mine. It will be blowing 1 percent methane."
"Right now I'm not too satisfied. I mean, we are going to have all this noise. There is going to be a 800-1000 horsepower motor up there running all the time. 7 days a week, 24 hours a day," Choff said.
Choff and officials from Tygart Lake State Park recently took a tour of a shaft in Pennsylvania, which will be similar to the one coming to the park.
"It's noisy for a good way. We stopped at the entrance to the mine where we went to. There is a gate. We stopped there and listened. It actually sounded louder there, to me, then it did when we were up close to it," Choff said.
"The ventilation shaft is adjacent to state park property. It's about 4,000 feet from the lodge, 4,000 feet from the marina, and the topography of the area is such that the noise will be an impact to not only the lodge and the marina but to the adjacent neighborhood," Browning said.
Residents and park officials said they support coal and are not opposed to the project. They just wish it would be located elsewhere.
"It's just in the wrong place in my opinion. It should be somewhere where it isn't as populated," Choff said.
"Tygart Lake State Park in itself is not opposed to the operation of the mine. We benefit greatly from the coal miners in the area. We would like to discuss the location of the air ventilation shaft," Browning said.
The group, Friends of Tygart Lake is asking people to voice their concerns about the shaft to the DEP.
That address is:

We know Kareena never had any really good friends in bollywood, but it was surprising when she agreed to Ranbir's statement in Koffee with Karan4 saying how she hates her colleagues. Here's how the conversation went.,
Ranbir Kapoor made a statement that said "Kareena hates all her colleagues" and Kareena did not really deny that (as any other actress would probably have done) and said that she wasn't in the Hindi film industry to make friends.
Kareena then talked about how she made friends with Ranbir's alleged girlfriend Katrina Kaif when she was shooting for a film with her husband Saif Ali Khan and she went to visit him. She talked about how she even had coffee with her at the time. Ranbir cut her short saying "Also you have not been friendly with any colleagues of yours?…she hates all of them."
Karan Johar then added, "Anyone who is a contemporary actress, Kareena can't be a friend with." To which Ranbir said, "You (Kareena) always liked somebody who is 10 years senior to you or somebody who is just born."
And this is how Kareena reacted to all this, "A.I am not here to make friends and B.I am here to work. C. I have too many friends already so why I would I want to make friends."

ALBANY, N.Y., May 19 (UPI) -- A quick-thinking physician in Albany, N.Y., detected a tick that caused a 2-year-old girl to become partially paralyzed, hospital officials said.
The mother of Jenna Tomlins said her daughter had become weak, lethargic, unable to walk and unable to keep her eyes open, and doctors in Poughkeepsie sent them to the Albany Medical Center because they didn't know what was wrong with the toddler, the Albany Times Union reported.
Hospital officials said the girl had already had a CT scan, spinal tap and blood work and the tests all were normal.
However, Dr. Karen Powers, a pediatric neurologist at Albany Med, examined the girl and said she had seen a similar case when she was training to be a physician in Virginia.
She combed through the little girl's hair and found an engorged American dog tick. The tick was removed and the girl recovered within hours and needed no further treatment, Powers said.
Hospital officials said a study published in the American Journal of Medical Toxicology showed partial paralysis from the tick is well-documented in dogs, but only 50 cases of human tick paralysis were reported in the United States from 1946 to 2006.
American dog ticks attach to dogs and small mammals, and the female tick is believed to inject a poisonous neurotoxin into the host that can cause paralysis.
"Cases can be fatal if the tick is not discovered," Powers said at a news conference attended by Tomlins and her mother.

Amid strikes, mumbling from colleagues and strained brotherly relations at the top of the party, Ed Miliband is finding out the hard way that the Labour movement does not always live up to its language of fraternity. The Inverclyde byelection, however, was his fourth byelection as Labour leader, and – against expectations – it was his fourth solid win.
Previously Miliband's Labour held on to Oldham and Saddleworth handsomely, even though the previous MP, Phil Woolas, was kicked out by the courts for dishonest and racially tinged campaigning. The party also sailed home in rock-solid Barnsley, despite the incarceration of the previous MP, Eric Illsley, for fiddling his expenses. And then there was Leicester South, a Midlands byelection that Labour brought on itself after the sitting MP, Peter Soulsby, resigned to stand as mayor, where sizeable swings of 8% and 9% for Labour's Jonathan Ashworth were respectively won against both the Lib Dems and the Tories.
Of the four contests so far, however, Inverclyde was the one to worry party high command, seeing as it was the first to take place in the very different political ecology of Scotland. Only two months ago Alex Salmond's Scottish Nationalists had raced so far ahead of Labour that he took a crushing overall majority in the parliament at Holyrood, where the electoral system is specifically designed to encourage perpetual coalition. The constituencies for Holyrood now have different borders, but in May's notional contest within the boundaries of this Westminster seat the Nats came within 500 votes of overturning Labour's 14,000 majority.
Since then Salmond's media bandwagon has, of course, only continued to roll in the media. What is more, in this Scottish contest Labour started from a strong base, seeing as Gordon Brown (always more popular in his own country) had turned in a good Scottish showing in May 2010, holding on to every one of his Scottish seats even as he was pummelled in England. In sum, everything seemed in place for Labour to take a dive, and a shock SNP gain did not seem out of the question. Certainly, odds for the bookies suggested an upset was a real possibility.
And yet Iain McKenzie's win in Inverclyde saw Labour down by only 2% of its vote share from its very respectable May 2010 performance. It was almost as if this year's tartan revolution had never taken place. The SNP surged as expected, but at the expense not of Miliband's party but of the Lib Dems. They lost five-sixths of their share of the 2010 vote, which coming on top of their abject crushing in Holyrood just two months before is the type of result to pose existential questions for the party's Scottish wing. Nick Clegg is fast be becoming as toxic north of the border as the Tory brand has long been.
The Lib Dems, and before them the SDP and the old Liberal party, ordinarily do well in byelections, so this is quite a turnaround. Voters regard byelections as a way to snub those in power, and because the Liberals could traditionally be relied on to be a long way from office, they could always cash in on this effect. Now, however, there is only one UK-wide mainstream party of protest, and it is the party headed by Miliband.
While some of his own side still mutter about him, and while his performance in the council elections of the south was dismal indeed, the byelection has traditionally been one of the most closely watched yardsticks of opposition performance. And four contests in, by this measure at least, Miliband's record looks solid. His challenge will be persuading his doubters that this is not only because he can be relied on to remain a long way from power.

Modesto Senior Pictures
I had the pleasure of taking Julia's senior portraits the other day. Julia is a senior at Enoch High School and will be graduating this coming June. Julia's mom and younger sister joined her for the session and they couldn't have been nicer to hang out with for the afternoon. Julia is a natural in front of the camera and it really shows in the images from the session. We started in the studio and ended the session at one of my favorite outdoor locations where we were greeted with an absolutely stunning sunset and with beautiful warm colors that bathed the entire area in perfect light. I've become known for my images from certain outdoor locations so I like to change things up occasionally in order to continue to offer something new to my clients and keep things fresh for me as well. While Julia and I were walking the area we discovered a couple new locations with beautiful background vistas and took full advantage of them. I'll certainly be adding these to my shot list for future sessions. It was a wonderful session with Julia and we created a number of beautiful images perfect for wall portraits, here's a few images from the day.
Are you graduating or know someone who is and are looking for more than your typical boring senior pictures? Then you've come to the right place. Give me a call today 209.541.1815 or send an email to schedule your senior consultation. Modesto Senior Portraits.

If Double Fine paved the dusty road between game players and game developers, it was Obsidian that turned it into a two-way street.
Double Fine proved that crowdfunding game development is viable, but it was Obsidian that made its fans feel like they were part of the team. Through constant updates, fan forums, and a constant back and forth feedback loop, the team's "Project Eternity" feels like a crowd-developed game.
More importantly, Obsidian represents a developer quickly adapting and thriving in what is a rapidly changing game development world. The studio had been struggling with bad deals and draining triple-A work, but thanks to crowdfunding, it may have reinvented itself while playing to its core strengths.
If the studio is able to sustain with Project Eternity, and even have a follow-up developed in a similar way, it will have proven that a decently-sized studio can survive and thrive by independently making the games it wants to make, for fans that want to play them.

Last game you finished, tell us about it

Halo: Combat Evolved
I was planning on covering both of them in one post but since I had enough notes on the first one I opted for a more organized approach.
First of all, I have to make clear that I wasn't expecting too much going into the game, only picked it up to satisfy my sci-fi craving and for what its worth I can say about 1/3 of the game certainly did that. The Halos are, at least amongst the gaming communities I frequent, generally looked down upon as mainstream kiddie shooters alongside the Call of Duty and Gears of War series which lowered my expectations even further. With that in mind I expect to be somewhat lenient.
Gameplay-wise the original Halo was average, it certainly wasn't a classic but still nowhere near downright bad. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by how challenging it was, I set off playing on the 3rd of the 4 levels of difficulty but had to revert to what the game considered Normal (2nd out of 4) about a third of the way in. The handling of difficulty also surprised me because it wasn't a simple change of damage and/or health bar, the game tweaked both the number and the type of enemies and encounters when changing difficulty. I can imagine most of the battles/tactics later on in the game being completely different on Legendary.
To its detriment there were plenty of occasions where my having a hard time had more to do with the absolutely terrible gunplay, the worst offender of a tube-like FoV I have experience and most importantly the overly retarded checkpoint system. Having finished the game I still got no clue how checkpoints worked, there were occasions (including the very last part of the game) where I had to do a fairly lengthy sequence 3 times and only after that would I get a checkpoint. The gunplay was anything but advanced, there were a total of 8 weapons in the game (3 of them useless), no recoil whatsoever and the crosshair was about 1/20 of the screen. Quintessential console shooter.
The developers were wise enough to let the player occasionally take a break from the shooting and included some very fun driving bits. While easy they were far less limiting than those present in modern shooters and I have to give Bungie a huge thumbs up for including a machine that let you fly unrestricted on all 3 axes, a brave inclusion even for a 2013 game.
Not sure what the budget for the game was but there was a noticeable reuse of assets. About half way through the game the experience felt strongly like a corridor shooter although it did pick up later. The point about the reuse stands however as there was a grand total of less than 7 enemy types and about 50% of the action took part in structures used 2-3 times without any alteration whatsoever.
If Halo's gameplay was average there is a stark contrast between the game's memorable audiovisual presentation and its low quality story and writing. The story was nothing to write home about and was at best an excuse to shoot things and visit places. And while I feel there wasn't much of an attempt as far as the story is concerned the game can't hide how comically bad the writing is. There were about as many cliche dialogs per minute as in a low quality Hollywood action film. Most notably, the marines (think of any bad American patriotic film), the single alien race encountered(either straight up monsters or some speaking jar-jar like English(?!), whose idea was that?) and the captain (about the 4th most important character) who was easily the worst written - most cliche character I've even seen in a video game. Suffice to say I had a trouble picking the most cringe worthy aspect. Oh and if there's a reason Master Chief is a huge video game "persona", it wasn't included in Combat Evolved.
Not sure why I left the game's highpoint for last but I guess it will be the one that stays in mind. I wanted beautiful sci-fi and got at some parts exactly that. It's not the technical fidelity that impressed me, it's a 2001 game that probably wasn't impressive back then, it's about the beautiful vistas (limited in number but deserving a mention) and the use of colors that seems very liberal and in stark contrast to today's browny games. Even alien corridors were impressive for the first few minutes of exploring them. Crysis' trip into the heart of the alien mountain is the closest similar example I can think of (BTW does anyone know if Crysis 2 or 3 had more of that?).
Halo's music and ambient sounds also deserve a special mention. The music was an interesting mix of ambient space, world and tribal sounds (I suck at describing music) and it was good enough for me to add
to my favourite music soundtracks. The battle music was at times so good that my death annoyed me mostly because they interrupted the music. All in all it enhanced the sci-fi atmosphere more than I could have hoped for.
The artists that were involved in the game were much more passionate about it than anyone else.
The effect the game had on the shooter industry is easy to see. Probably the most obvious is the fact that cutting it down by about 60% wouldn't really worsen anything apart from the campaign's buck per hour value. I'm also not sure if this is the kind of game that deserves a remake or one that is the exact opposite.
I'd just like to interject here and point out that I'm not going to say anything to spoil the mood, Chief. I'll just float here and watch. Don't mind me, just sitting here, floating and watching, that's me.

Today, most self-storage trade organizations provide training programs designed to improve your skills in a variety of areas. Many of these allow you to learn at your own pace, and successful completion is rewarded with a manager certification, often invaluable to future advancement within the industry. Local, state and national association meetings and conferences provide the perfect "hands-on" training, allow you to meet other professionals and, compared to the value of the experience, are relatively inexpensive.
SelfStorageTalk.com, the industry's largest online forum, provides an incredibly diverse source of knowledge via the experience of thousands of peers within the industry. The benefit of this ever-expanding network of professionals cannot be overstated. Registration is open to self-storage managers and others at no cost, making participation a no-brainer.
There exists near-unanimous agreement among industry professionals with respect to the evolution of the business, and as they vie for a limited number of jobs, storage managers are discovering the same. Continued improvement is a vital part of the self-storage career. Obviously, training is a must—not only for the "newbie," but for experienced managers who desire to expand horizons and set the stage for greater heights within their own vocation. Education is the key, and training is mandatory.
Hopefully, your organization provides its own comprehensive manager training, and you have ample opportunity to improve your skills through the program. Regardless, the wisest manager is one who takes control of his own career by exploiting every educational opportunity. As the industry evolves, self-storage managers with a well-rounded education will be better positioned to prosper and thrive.

Speaking In Code
Speaking In Code
a film by Amy Grill
sQuare Productions, 2009
What drives, obsesses, and eventually breaks impresario David Day in the new documentary Speaking In Code is that most elusive of quarries: getting something started in Boston.
The something in this case being the techno music scene. A Midwestern American art, electronic dance music has moved so deep underground in its home country you'd forget it was ever here. But Europe continues to dance to it, and it's to Berlin and Barcilona that David and his wife, Amy Grill, economy-jet to be a part of it; and to meet and get to know the people who live around it, people who—like journalist Philip Sherbourne—move clear across the world in search of "a more complete techno lifestyle."
Electronic dance is a music of fluorescence, of squatters in abandoned buildings, clubs so dark you can't see the DJ. It's also a music of bright, empty mornings. Fittingly, Grill places her interview subjects off-center, counterpointed by stray graffiti or AV cables. There is an off-and-on color rhythm as schemes alternate between the pale light of northern mornings and the powdery dark of clubs.
In their drive to get closer and closer to the music that defines who they are, the filmmakers go broke and split up on camera (filming David, studying him, Amy begins to see him differently; he grows apart from her as he lives more and more for the scene). Though the breakup could easily feel gimmicky or tacked-on, it ends up providing a necessary foreground to the story, which involves lots of lightly sketched characters, locations, and great stretches of time. The movie ends up being about time, too, and about growing older, making choices, seeing how they play out, then making new ones.
Ironically, the music itself seemed hardly there. Maybe because we're so inured to electronic, repetitive film scores, the background tracks tended to blend together or fade away. What we're left with are the people who make the scene, their idiosyncrasies and tics. Surprisingly, this turns out to be enough.
"What's our plan?" director Grill asks the on-camera David Day. He squirms away: "It's party time. I think. I don't have a watch… so…" He rents a loft space for music gatherings, but the space is shut down. What next? A rave in Thuringia at 4am.
Will electronic music ever find a home in Boston? "It's going to take someone, somewhere, from someplace," muses David, abstractedly. He's facinating to watch—an ultimately appealing dreamer who hasn't quite had the space and time to think things through—he carries the film. His passion does, his absorption. We leave the theater hoping the best for everyone involved in Speaking In Code. It speaks well for its world.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Standing 6-foot-3, senior Octavious Washington has quickly become senior quarterback Reggie Lindsey's go-to receiver.
On Oct. 2, Lindsey connected with Washington for a 34-yard touchdown — his third touchdown catch of the season. The catch also gave the Mustangs an early 7-0 lead over visiting Manatee.
But Lakewood Ranch's lead would prove to be short-lived as Manatee, led by quarterback Brion Carnes, responded and eventually pulled away in the fourth quarter, defeating Lakewood 35-14.
After falling behind in the first quarter, Manatee (4-0) scored a pair of touchdowns to take a 20-7 lead into halftime. The Mustangs (2-3) responded in the fourth quarter when running Taryn Laws lunged into the end zone from a yard out, cutting the Hurricanes' lead to six.
But that would be as close as Lakewood would get as Manatee added a pair of touchdowns late in the fourth quarter.
"We need to protect the ball better," coach Shawn Trent said. "We had a couple of chances to score in the first half and didn't, which really hurt."
The Mustangs will look to get back on track tomorrow night as they open their district season at Port Charlotte. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Port Charlotte enters the contest coming off a 29-21 victory over Lemon Bay. Last season, the Mustangs lost 21-0.
"We need to play more consistent and not make mistakes that are putting us in bad situations," Trent said.

What happened here is that you recompiled directory without recompiling the things that depend on it (e.g. GHC). This is a problem because compiled Haskell libraries don't have a fixed ABI: if you recompile the library, you get a different result, and all the compiled clients of the library must be recompiled. For libraries that GHC depends on, this is a problem, because it's usually not practical to recompile GHC. You can usually install a newer version of these libraries without conflicting with the old version, though. We do think this is something that needs to be fixed in a future version of GHC (hopefully 6.12). Cheers, Simon

In one of the songs he addresses the ongoing NFL Investigation of his signing of Jets quarterback Geno Smith. Here is what Jigga had to say.
