Financial globalization and the Russian crisis of 1998
Russia had more-or-less completed the privatization of its manufacturing and natural resource sectors by the end of 1997. And in February 1998, the annual inflation rate at last dipped into the single digits. Privatization should have helped with stronger micro-foundations for growth. The conquest of inflation should have cemented macroeconomic credibility, lowered real interest rates, and spurred investment. Instead, Russia suffered a massivepublic debt-exchange rate-banking crisis just six months later, in August 1998. In showing how this turn of events unfolded, the authors focus on the interaction among Russia's deteriorating fiscal fundamentals, its weak micro-foundations of growth and financial globalization. They argue that the expectation of a large official bailout in the final 10 weeks before the meltdown played an important role, with Russia's external debt increasing by $16 billion or 8 percent of post-crisis gross domestic product during this time. The lessons and insights extracted from the 1998 Russian crisis are of general applicability, oil and geopolitics notwithstanding. These include a discussion of when financial globalization might actually hurt and a cutoff in market access might actually help; circumstances in which an official bailout could backfire; and why financial engineering tends to fail when fiscal solvency problems are present.

It's difficult to get on CD
Unless you get a really good clean original and write it to CD
and make a nice label and envelope printed with the photo you took of it, and so on.
I have it right here..

"heart and soul" by joy division could be a perfect one chord song just excluding those 'fake' chords from barney that add some color post verses (there are no key changes anyway so there you have it)

"Born in the USA" comes close...
Saw a few suggestions of "Exodus" by Bob Marley, "Run Through the Jungle" by CCR, "No Diggity," "Forever In My Life" by Prince ...
Keith Urban has a song called "One Chord Song." What is "Showbiz Kids" by Steely Dan? I guess a lot of these songs can be played with one chord on guitar, though the recordings may not necessarily stick there.

love thy will be done IS NOT a one chord song, try humming the vocal melody and you will realise there are at least 2 or 3 chord changes during the verses

I'd just like to say that it's _my favourite thing ever_ when there is a triad or an open 5th that drones on for the song's entirety... chord changes, bass movement may happen, but that chord stays on, regardless. "2nd Thought" and "Of all the things we've made" by OMD are key examples
― poxen, Thursday, 10 May 2012 12:43 (five years ago) Permalink
Yeah, 'Of All The Things We've Made' is great. Love the way the bassline moves around while the guitars stay on the one chord throughout.

yeah, that's what I always thought but listening to it recently, I realized the bass stays on the one note the whole time. of course there are some other notes played by the synth and I agree that it feels like there are more chords though.

From the internationally bestselling author of The French Gardener comes a sweeping and sophisticated romance about an aristocratic English family shocked by the revelations of a beautiful stranger from Paris.
When Lord Frampton dies in a skiing accident, a beautiful young woman named Phaedra appears at his funeral - claiming to be the Lord's illegitimate daughter. In his will, Lord Frampton has left the priceless Frampton suite of sapphires to this interloper, confirming her claim and outraging his three adult sons and widow. Eventually, however, Phaedra's sweet nature thaws the frosty relationships. She becomes the daughter that Antoinette Frampton never had and a wise and compassionate granddaughter to the formidable Dowager Lady Frampton. But an attraction grows between Phaedra and the eldest son, David. It seems an impossible love - blocked by their blood connection and by the fury of one family member who is determined to expose Phaedra as a fraud. Filled with the luscious scenery and enchanting characters her fans adore, Santa Montefiore's The Woman from Paris is an unforgettable story about family, forgiveness, and the power of love.

"Too perfect heroine and annoying voice"
Heroine was too perfect. Too cookie cutter and her whiney voice almost made me stop the book. Usually love this author but this is not her best.
"Worth the time..."
I'm new to author Santa Montefiore, having read only (and thoroughly enjoyed) "The Mermaid Garden". But even with just a taste of her writing style, I find her storytelling enchanting. Her choice of setting, this time in the countryside with the vibrancy of plants, woods and humorous dogs, her genuine talent in creating complex characters with views that lead to conflicting behaviors and her unrelenting commitment to the strength of hope and love all add up to a satisfying story. Another reviewer wrote that "The Woman from Paris" read "more like a Harlequin romance than an SM book," but since SM wrote the book, I chose to give a try and I'm glad I did.
"Delightful Read"
A great storyline which reminded me of the PBS DAbbey series. Enjoyable great read with twists and turns to it. Multigenerational, very descriptive of a English countryside estate. Ups and downs of generations of country Lords and Ladies

Andre Villas-Boas could give Scott Parker his first start since coming back from injury, but the FA Cup clash might come too soon for Benoit Assou-Ekotto, who is lacking match fitness.
Tottenham's big stars may be rested, giving the likes of Parker, Andros Townsend, Tom Huddlestone and Yago Falque a chance to impress.
Brad Friedel could be set to make his return to the Tottenham line-up, making his first start since signing a new contract at the club, keeping him at White Hart Lane until 2014.
The Sky Blues come into the game following their first defeat in 10 games, losing 1-0 on New Year's Day to Shrewsbury and will undoubtedly be going all-out against Tottenham, making amends for last year's exit in the third round of the cup.
Despite starting 2013 with a defeat, it is unlikely Mark Robins will make many changes to the line-up, with his team keeping an impressive eight clean sheets so far this season. However, he will have to make one crucial change as top scorer David McGoldrick has left to join Ipswich Town, so loan signing Leon Clarke could come in.
- Tottenham reached the semi-final of the cup last year, losing 5-1 to Chelsea, who eventually went on to lift the trophy.
- Coventry beat Tottenham in the 1987 FA Cup final, grabbing a winner in extra time in a 3-2 thriller.
- Steve Ogrizovic, who played over 500 times for the Sky Blues and was the goalkeeper in the 1987 FA Cup final, remains at the club as goalkeeping coach.
- Tottenham have won the FA Cup eight times, the most recent being in 1991. They are 10/1 to beat Coventry 3-1 with bet365.
- Coventry boss Mark Robins won the FA Cup once as a player, with Manchester United in 1990.
- Tottenham have not conceded this season when Scott Parker (pictured) has been on the pitch.
- Spurs have conceded only two goals in their last five Premier League games.
- David McGoldrick is Coventry's top goalscorer so far this season, scoring 18 times.

According to reports, the plan is for products from the newly acquired Evolution Juice brand to be sold in Starbucks stores, and then for the first juice bar to open on the West Coast in mid-2012. Of course, the big question will be whether or not the company can do for the juice bar industry what it did for coffee shops.

These efforts have shrunk Albuquerque's domestic per capita water use from 140 gallons a day to around 80. The city "anticipates another 50 years of water, economically and sustainably supplied, even with a growing population," says Yuhas. After that there's the option to desalinate brackish water nearby and new technologies such as dual plumbing: one set of pipes to deliver highly treated potable water and another to recycle less treated water for flushing toilets, watering lawns, and other nonpotable uses. Albuquerque already uses wastewater—from treatment plants and from industry—to irrigate golf courses and parks. Other municipalities have gone a step further and collect wastewater—yes, from toilets—filter and disinfect it to the nth degree, then pump it back into the local aquifer for drinking. There are similar schemes worldwide: Beijing reportedly aims to reuse 100 percent of its wastewater by 2013.
Industry, too, is adapting to less certain water supplies. Frito-Lay will soon recycle almost all its water at its plant in Casa Grande, Arizona; Gatorade and Coca-Cola remove the dust and carton lint from beverage containers using air instead of water; and Google recycles its own water to cool its giant data centers.
This is all reassuring—until you remember that irrigated agriculture accounts for 70 percent of the fresh water used by humans. Given this outsize proportion, it seems obvious that farmers have the greatest potential to conserve water.
Standing on the banks of a trickling ditch, Don Bustos—sunbaked and thickly bearded—demonstrates how he irrigates 130,000 dollars' worth of produce on 3.5 acres north of Santa Fe. "I lift this board"—he points to a plank that forms a gate in the ditch—"and I shove in a stick to hold it up." Gravity does the rest.
For 400 years farmers in the arid Southwest have relied on such acequias—networks of community-operated ditches—to irrigate their crops. The acequia diverts water from a main stream, then further apportions the flow through sluiceways into smaller streams and onto fields. "Without the acequia, there would be no farm," Bustos says. He's also built a water tank with drip-irrigation hoses that feed some of the acequia water directly to the plant roots—and cut his water use by two-thirds as a consequence.

Building Identity Loyalty Through Social Media
February 1, 2014
When a consumer deeply connects with a brand's values identity loyalty is created. Savvy marketers can use social media to help cement this connection by committing to authenticity, communicating brand identity, and inviting customers to co-develop brand identity. To begin this process, marketers need to create an internal loyalty framework that includes a positioning statement. The positioning statement should outline the brand's purpose, ideals, and value proposition, as well as the behavior of the target customer.

The regulation of the legal profession in Canada is carried out by provincial and territorial law societies, which have always regulated the lawyers within their jurisdictions under their own regulatory "Codes of Professional Conduct."
The problem for lawyers and clients was that the regulatory code of conduct of one province might well be different than the code of conduct in another. As Canadian lawyers have had, since the early 2000s, mobility rights enabling them to practice law in other jurisdictions without specifically qualifying in the those jurisdictions, what does the B.C. lawyer do when she's practising Ontario law and she encounters a potential ethical issue where the Codes of the two provinces differ, say on a matter of a potential conflict of interest?
This year, Canadian law societies have been replacing their regulatory codes of conduct with variations of the new Model Code of Professional Conduct that is expected to apply across Canada. The Model Code was developed by the Federation of Law Societies in Canada as part of a drive to standardize regulatory frameworks across the country.
So why should the business community care?
First, your business may need legal services from a number of lawyers in many provinces, especially in transactional work where the vendor is in once province, the purchaser is in another and perhaps the assets being acquired are in a third province (or in many different provinces). Different professional conduct codes in different provinces could affect the lawyer's ability to act and adversely affect the client. Indeed, if your lawyers have to deal with a professional conduct issue relating to the transaction that applies in two provinces but not all ten, this could complicate the transaction through no fault of the client. Arguably, standardized regulation through a Model Code that is similar throughout Canada also will assure the public that lawyers are held to the same high level of competence and ethics, wherever lawyers practice in Canada.
Second, if you live in one of Canada's larger cities, your business may be utilizing the services of one of Canada's large national firms that have offices across Canada. Standardization of the regulatory environment across Canada makes it easier for law firms with particular expertise to do your legal work in whatever province you are in from whatever province they are in, regulated under a code of professional conduct common to all jurisdictions. It also assists with lawyer mobility across Canada.
One of the most contentious issues in developing the Model Code, and the most visible area of difference between the provinces that affects both lawyers and clients, is the determination of conflicts of interest. There are two major questions:
1. Can a lawyer who has acted for a client in the past, act against that client in the future?
2. Can a lawyer who currently acts for a client, act against that client on unrelated matters? While the answers may seem obvious, they're neither obvious nor straightforward.
For example, in a small town where there may only be one or two lawyers, not allowing a lawyer to act against a former client could all but render that potential client without any available legal counsel at all, even though the former client's matter was unrelated and concluded years before. The new Model Code deals with this issue by only permitting a lawyer to act against a former client with the consent of that former client or, if the former client does not consent, where the current and former matters are unrelated and do not put the former client's confidential information at risk.
In cases where lawyers wish to act against current clients (this happens regularly in banking, foreclosure, governmental and some insurance work now anyway), to ensure protection of the public, the Federation of Law Societies believed that a lawyer must not act against a current client – even if the matters are unrelated – unless both clients consent.
However, the Code permits that consent to be obtained in advance when a lawyer and client negotiate the original engagement agreement. In some circumstances, where the clients are government, a financial institution, a publicly traded entity or similarly sophisticated client, a lawyer may infer client consent to its lawyer acting against it on other matters.
With respect to lawyers acting against current clients, the Canadian Bar Association has a different view than the Federation of Law Societies. It argued the Federation's approach to conflicts was too broad and that, in unrelated matters, client consent should not be required if the lawyer believed there was no conflict of interest and there was no real or substantial risk to the representation of a client. In the end, the Federation did not accept the Canadian Bar Association view and decided that requiring client consent in most circumstances was in the public interest.
Since then, law societies in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador have implemented their own versions of the Model Code, with some changes to reflect local practice and conditions.
Yet, the debate continues and will be tested in a case now before the Supreme Court of Canada – Canadian National Railway v. McKercher LLP. The case involves CN's request to have a law firm disqualified from acting for a plaintiff because the law firm had acted for CN on other matters.
While the legal profession awaits that decision, clients in those provinces that have approved new model code can expect to be asked for consent for their lawyers to act against them in some circumstances when potential conflicts of interest might arise. A provision such as this is expected to be included in the firm's engagement letter it has with clients.
Lawyers may not be happy about the work involved, particularly when it may not always be easy to determine whether a disqualifying conflict of interest prevents the lawyer from acting against a current or former client. However, from the perspective of the public, including small business, clients now enjoy greater protection from potential conflicts of interests by their lawyers.

Dem curls. XD I love making costumes that involve styling wigs, and this was one that really made me think about how I wanted to tackle it. The coat is made from a sturdy cotton twill that's lined in a really comfy suede. The wig was actually my old Daria wig. XD For the curls, I took curlers and glued the wig fibers to them. For the sword, I took a piece of pvc and cut it to the length that I wanted. I then traced out the design on poster board, cut it out and glued it to the pvc. Then I built up the shape with tin foil and covered the whole thing in paper clay. The end product is super light! The armor is made from polyvinyl sheeting and craft foam.

People who do that in lieu of purchasing a cheaper bronze plan probably do so because they anticipate having a lot of medical costs.

Diego Garcia
Arc, Xenia Dunford
69 Kilmarnock Street
Boston, MA, 02215
This event is 21 and over
Prior to his successful solo career, Diego Garcia made his mark on the indie music scene as front man for the popular indie act Elefant. Drawing from his Argentine roots, he explores his Latin heritage on his new solo album 'Laura' with a sound that conjures the spirit of 1970's troubadours like Sandro and Jobim as well as singer-songwriters like Leonard Cohen and Harry Nilsson.
Garcia became a breakout star with the release of his debut solo album 'Laura.' NPR named Diego Garcia's debut "one of the top 25 albums of the year (so far)." He was 'Artist of the Month' at tastemaker radio station WXPN-FM in Philadelphia and 'CD of the Month' at WFUV in New York City. He has performed live shows for key radio shows across the country, including KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic and WXPN's World Café.
Garcia's poignant first single "You Were Never There," which was co-written by Dhani Harrison (George Harrison's son) is a perfect example. With lush string arrangements, delicate Spanish guitars, and distinctly Latin flavor, the song is worlds apart from Garcia's former band Elefant. "You Were Never There" was a Starbucks 'Pick of the Week' (750,000 download cards), marking one of the only times that Starbucks has ever selected a Latino artist for this special opportunity.
"Garcia's debut album is a warm, lush and beautiful collection of baroque/chamber inspired classic singer-songwriter material. Fans of Sondre Lerche and Ray LaMontagne should definitely check this out."
"With a flickering, old school touch, Diego Garcia's croon is one for the bedroom. "You Were Never There" is today's aural aphrodisiac — a gentle flush of guitars and strings, yelping hooks, and love-worn lyrics."
"Diego Garcia has a new single, "You Were Never There," and I can't stop listening to it… The tune has lush string arrangements, guitars and vocal intonation. It's romantic and blissful."
"The best love album of the year… is full of romance, introspection, pop sensibility and singable melodies."
Singer-songwriter Xenia Dunford has been evolving as a musician over the course of the past few years. Her 2011 self-titled EP featured heavy amounts of jazz, piano ballads and piano pop, while her second release, 2012's Lonely Streets EP, saw her mixing those same elements with more rock and acoustic sensibilities. With the release of her first full-length album, His & Hers, Dunford's evolution continues as she adds even more musical variety to her repertoire with hints of folk rock, country and Americana appearing throughout this album. All of this is a far cry from where she started.
"With that first EP, what drove me to play the piano in general was that I was a singer with no means of expression," Dunford says. "It was just an experiment. I was just a girl playing a piano because that was the one sensory thing that I had. I didn't really look at the bigger picture of what my songs could be."
Fast forward a few years and listeners—and Dunford herself—now have a much clearer idea of what her songs can be. While in a number of ways His & Hers remains similar to her first two releases—all three incorporate jazzy elements, healthy doses of piano, Dunford's honey-sweet smoky vocals and insightful lyrics—the album also stands out as the most cohesive piece of work she has created. Produced by Charlton Pettus, the twelve songs on the record—which features nine new tracks and three from the Lonely Streets EP—navigate through the ups and downs of life and encourages the listener to blaze their own trail. This is fitting considering Dunford's desire to do her own thing, musically.
"I taught myself how to play piano, but I haven't been classically trained or anything," Dunford says with a laugh. "Anytime I play piano people say my hands are pretty much backwards and I play weird, but I love that I've developed my own style!"
Whether singing about how difficult it is to leave all you know behind on the piano ballad "Home Waits For Me," crooning about a handsome stranger she can't get out of her mind in the bluesy piano rock number "A Way About You," or extolling the virtues of being yourself and accepting others for who they are in the soulful Americana rock number "Rhyme and Reason," Dunford gives impassioned performances throughout on His & Hers. Musically, "1963" stands as the best example of how His & Hers creates a bridge to Dunford's musical past and future while immersing itself squarely in the present. The song's upbeat pop-meets-folk-meets-Dixieland-jazz sound, combined with guest vocals by Parker Richey, showcase many of the familiar and new dynamics that are to be found on this record.
"The album title goes back to the fact that my guitarist and songwriting partner, Scotty Mlodzinski, and I pretty much did everything fifty-fifty here," she says. "I love folk, country and Americana music, but at the same time I bring elements of jazz and some soulful pop as well. Scotty played in blues and rock 'n roll bands and he brings that rootsy blues vibe to the table. So we have this melting pot of genres that makes the record sound like it has a lot of music from the past on it, but it also has a modern, unique sound to it at the same time. We meticulously crafted these songs and spent a lot of time working and arranging every little detail."
This attention to detail paved the way for Dunford, Mlodzinski and bassist Forrest Pettengill to create an album that is full of diverse sounds, emotions and experiences that will resonate with many listeners. Fans on both the East and West Coast have been listening over the past year as the band has played in noteworthy venues and festivals. They have performed at the Cape May Singer Songwriter Festival in New Jersey and Conserv Fest off the coast of Rhode Island, and they have performed at a number of venues on The Sunset Strip, including The Viper Room, House of Blues, The Hotel Café and Key Club. Between this support and having "Killing Kind of Love" from her debut EP being used in ads for ABC's Revenge in 2012, the buzz is starting to grow for Dunford. And with an appearance at the Canadian Music Festival in Toronto in March among her touring plans, the excitement will only increase in 2013 once people hear His & Hers.

This is one of the first teas from DAVIDsTEA that I fell in love with. Not THE first — that honour goes to a spring collection tea that they've never brought back — but it's up there. I rarely treat myself to it, because it's on the more expensive side, but I was getting a little of a lot of teas, and I felt like treating myself.
Having it now reminds me of how much I love and miss it. Oh goodness. It's got a lovely white chocolate/nutty quality to it, and it's got a smooth, creamy feel to it. Not too bold, yet strong enough, and patient — I don't think it's going to start tasting oversteeped any time soon.
I think I'm falling in love all over again….

It's safer than tobacco and alcohol?
Let you ask you guys something. Tobacco and alcohol are causing trouble, why is it those two drugs are spared? It's kind of going off topic, but what is it the nation sees in those two drugs? Is it those drugs got a hold on the nation before people realized they were bad?
To get back on topic,
weed is a plant right? So why is it weed is being put into brownies and you have to smoke it? How come I don't hear about weed pills where weed is legal? I know some places in California have weed brownies and stuff for those with a prescription.

Nacho Mama's Mexican Grill(01/03/2009)
"Located on quaint Magazine St., with some great local bars nearby, it's a great place to meet up with friends and hang out. Also, the food's not too bad either."

"We ate at the location in Harahan next to Office Max. The chicken fajitas I had were dry and bland. My girlfriend's beef chimi was hard, and there were black, burnt pieces in the bottom half. The black beans were also pretty bad, they smelled almost like cigarette ashes and tasted worse. I'm not ... "

West Ham's quest to add more firepower to their squad this summer could see them make a move for Juventus striker Simone Zaza.
The 24-year-old looks set to leave the Serie A champions having struggled to establish himself in Massimiliano Allegri's squad since he made the switch from Sassuolo 12 months ago, scoring eight times in all competitions having been predominantly used as a substitute.
Despite a lack of action in Turin, Zaza still managed to secure a place in Italy's provisional 30-man squad for Euro 2016 and looks likely to wait until after this summer's tournament to make a decision on his club future.
West Ham and Premier League rivals Southampton are both thought to be keen on Zaza, with the Hammers having made improving their attacking options their top priority for the summer.
With deals for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette and Leicester hero Jamie Vardy appearing unlikely to come off, Zaza represents a more viable option for boss Slaven Bilic.

Beyond the Basics
Maintaining Order on your Hard Disk and Tips for OrganizationSubmitted by Adam R Guha on Sat, 12/01/2001 - 04:00
You have a nice, decent sized 20GB hard drive in your new iMac... but you notice that only 10GB is left! Yes, you did install a number of programs- but not 10GB worth. Or you may have an old Performa with a 1GB hard drive and find you only have 50MB left. What happened to all that space? Well, the truth is that you probably have many duplicate files on your hard drive. How many? It's hard to say, but there are a few common things to look for.
Contextual menus in Mac OS XSubmitted by Adam R Guha on Sat, 11/10/2001 - 04:00
Since Mac OS 8.0, the Mac OS has featured something seen in Windows since as long as I can remember. Contextual menus. These are menus that can be brought up virtually anywhere by clicking the right mouse button (on a PC), or by holding down the control key and clicking the mouse button.
Macintosh Key CommandsSubmitted by Adam R Guha on Sat, 10/27/2001 - 04:00
Starting with the original Macintosh system software, key commands were available to speed up your work in the OS. However, they were not really fine tuned until System 7.x and the introduction of several new commands such as "make alias" (System 7.1.2). Many of the key commands from System 7 or 6 are still used in the latest Mac OS, version 10.1.
So, what are some of the key commands that might be considered useful?
How to Conserve a PowerBook's Battery PowerSubmitted by Adam R Guha on Wed, 10/10/2001 - 04:00
Starting in the late 1980's, people have been able to take their computing with them on the road. Computers appeared with all different types of screens (most unusual was the original Compaqs, which used a special red display- instead of being shades of grey, it displayed shades of red), disk drives, and of course, batteries.
Starting with the original laptops, battery power was important because it allowed you to use your laptop in places where there is no electrical power, such as on an airplane.
Creating a Low End G3Submitted by Adam R Guha on Sat, 09/01/2001 - 04:00
So, where do you start? How about with a NuBus Power Macintosh. You have basically two choices if you want to add anything at all to your system. These choices are the 7100 series or the 8100 series. The 7100 is a desktop machine, with a single hard drive bay, a CD-ROM drive bay, a floppy drive, 3 NuBus slots, and one PDS slot. The 7100 has 4 RAM slots and 8MB built in to the logic board. The 8100 is a minitower Mac, and has 2 hard drive bays, one capable of holding a full-height drive. The 8100 also has 8 RAM slots, 8MB on the logic board, 3 NuBus slots, and one PDS slot.

Cartagena faces sentencing on tax-fraud charge
Candace Cartagena who faces sentencing next week on her murder conviction for suffocating her 8-year-old daughter nearly four years ago in her Clarence home also will be sentenced on her guilty plea to a tax-related charge.
Cartagena, 35, pleaded guilty as charged Tuesday in Erie County Court to first-degree offering a false instrument for filing in connection with her 2010 state income tax return, reportedly resulting in a $10,000 refund.
The defendant claimed two boys who were not her sons and were not in her custody as her dependents on the return she filed on Feb. 16, 2011, according to Assistant District Attorney Kristin A. St. Mary.
As a result of that false statement, Cartagena fraudulently received a tax refund that she was not entitled to, the prosecutor said.
Judge Thomas P. Franczyk indicated he would sentence Cartagena to time served on the false instrument conviction at the same time he sentences her at 2 p.m. Tuesday on her second-degree murder conviction from July.
She faces a minimum prison sentence of 15 years to life and a maximum of 25 years to life on the murder conviction.
Her attorney, Joseph J. Terranova, told the judge he would waive a new pre-sentencing report on his client for the false instrument conviction so that she can be sentenced in both cases next week.
She has been held without bail since she was indicted in May 2013 on the murder and false instrument charges.
Franczyk found her guilty of murder July 21 following a nonjury trial.
She was convicted of suffocating Bianca Cartagena during a Nov. 29, 2010, visit at her home on Greengage Circle where she lived alone after her estranged husband moved out and Bianca went to live with her maternal grandparents in North Tonawanda because her mother could not take care of her.
After Cartagena failed to return the girl to the grandparents' home the next day, Bianca's grandfather and Cartagena's sister found Bianca's body in her mother's bed and called police. After examining the bedroom, police found Cartagena in a backyard shed, where, according to prosecutors, she pretended to be semiconscious.
The defendant claimed that she had taken numerous pills in an attempt to kill herself because she was distraught over her ongoing divorce, prosecutors said. When police asked her if anything had happened to Bianca, she said she didn't know because she had taken the pills. When police told her that Bianca was dead, Cartagena did not respond, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors contended that Cartagena asphyxiated Bianca in a jealous rage because her daughter had chosen to spend Thanksgiving with her estranged husband, Ruben, and his girlfriend, and because Bianca planned to accompany them on a trip to Disney World.
In a story Sunday in The Buffalo News, Cartagena acknowledged that after trying to commit suicide by a drug overdose, she may have accidentally rolled on top of her napping daughter, triggering the girl's asphyxiation and heart failure.

Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014 | 4:40 p.m.
The 34-year-old son of a Nevada rancher who hosted armed protesters against federal agents in a cattle-roundup dispute in April is being released from jail in Las Vegas in a separate case stemming from his felony conviction on burglary and weapon charges.
A judge granted Cliven Lance Bundy's release Thursday, about a week after he was arrested on charges of criminal contempt and violating parole. He has been ordered into an intensive drug-treatment program.
A warrant was issued July 8 after he failed to appear before a judge overseeing a drug-diversion program in Las Vegas. Bundy said last month that he underwent surgery that day for a nerve pain condition.

Hi! As some of you might know, the debian-installer uses GTK+ on DirectFB as its front-end. We were thinking of adding an integrating terminal window to the graphical installation process. I have looked at libvte [1] which is part of GNOME libraries and can provide a terminal emulator in the form of a GtkWidget. [1] http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/vte/ This library seems exactly what we need to add this feature to d-i. Unfortunately, it does not work correctly on the DirectFB backend of GTK+. After having hooking the integrated debugging of libvte, I know that the terminal itself fully works: the process is there, I can type commands and the resultings characters are processed by libvte. But I happen to see nothing on the screen except a black empty square. It's probably some incompatibilities between the way libvte displays characters on the screen and the DirectFB backend for GTK+. I would really like to get that issue fixed, but I don't have a clue about the process of debugging such issues. Maybe someone familiar with GTK-DFB could just look at libvte's code and figure out pretty quickly what is going wrong, which could be great. But I would also be dilligent to try to work out what's happening myself, but I won't be able to do so without some tips or pointers on how to do that. :)
(CC'ing d-boot)Adding a graphical terminal to the GTK frontend is in the wishlist [1] from a long time. In the past i successfully managed to have libvte running on top of gdk/dfb, but two things discouraged me from going further this road
1) Adding libvte and related stuff to the installer requires some non negligible space in the ISO
2) Need to mantain over time patches to vte: we already maintain the directfb flavour of gtk and that's already complicated enough
I know libzvt is somehow smaller than libvte, but IIRC it's not maintained from a long time and i'm not even sure it compiles against gtk-2.0

Sloths aren't the most exciting creatures to inspire a Lego creation, but 222Doc has left us thoroughly impressed with this quadra-ped robot called X-4 that's able to autonomously climb a ladder—even when inverted.
Surprisingly, it's powered by just a single Mindstorms NXT that controls eight servo motors, four smaller Lego motors, and a set of four sensors. And while it's as slow as a sloth—if not slower—that just makes the attention to detail and accuracy here all the more impressive. [222Doc's Blogspace via Make]


text: What is the best option now for me? I do wanna aim for pro, so should i just wait months until it goes away? I havent played tennis for 3 weeks already and its still here, i kept a lot of my style after 3 weeks, but still cant hit correctly with my forehand, or any motion that extends my right arm. It does not hurt in normal activities, only in sports or any quick arm action. When i played tennis today, i could feel my forehands joint(i think) I think what i felt was like 2 bones away from each other, which off course is the arm and the shoulder bone, part, i don't know any scientific names. So, how long is the average time for this injury to die off? Is there a fast way? or some equipment intentionally made for the pain to stop while playing tennis? What should i do in the mean time? And is there any way to keep my tennis style, until the shoulder is fully healed? If you could answer this questions i would be very happy, and hope that the answers will be positive. Thanks for reading.

Jordan Zimmermann pitched well to earn his fifth win of the season and Ryan Zimmerman hit his first home run since recently returning from the disabled list. He later scored another run when Michael Morse homered to give the Nats the lead for good. The team goes for the sweep of their geographical rivals tomorrow afternoon.

Over the past few months we have been going over a lot of tips and tricks to get your Craigslist.org postings for your new homes looking perfect but now we need to go over how to maintain those perfect postings.
NewHomesDirectory.com lists 700-1,000 postings a week on Craigslist and we are still growing. The Craigslist crew here at NHD daily check each posting to make sure that they live up to the high standards we have before they are live for all the world to see. When we check them we make sure that the follow items are always accurate: price, picture and correct community/other home information such as square footage, bath count, HOA information etc. within the description.
There are always certain things that we sometimes overlook when we get into the routine even though they may seem like common sense. Make sure you check your spelling, grammar, whether the content is appropriate for your target audience, as well as length of posting. A long or wordy posting can make buyers run away rather than want to buy.
Lastly, we make sure to change around the look of the postings very frequently because after awhile those who are looking for a new home on Craigslist will start to recognize the same posting and thus it will get flagged. Depending on how many posts you maintain, you should change the wording and/or layout every other week.
In the words of W. Clement Stone "Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying."
Happy posting!

Chapter 3 : Morris Dancing, Moody and Mundungus
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 10
Background: Font color:
Mum and Dad thought it would be a nice place to bring up children, but having a child as conspicuous as me probably meant they changed their mind about it being a good place to bring up children. I apparated into their back garden, hoping no one would see me do it. They lived on the edge of the village, so there shouldnt be any passers-by observing the strange occurrence.
Then again, they did do Morris dancing here, and that was pretty strange. Seeing grown men dance around with bells around their ankles and wielding swords was possibly weirder than me appearing out of thin air. I had always wanted to try Morris dancing, but Mum thought it was safety risk letting me hold a sword. She said there was an extremely high chance of me falling over and impaling myself with it, and that was that.
The weather had drastically changed over the past few days. The brief summer spell had long since disappeared and heavy grey clouds had replaced the sun. My parents garden had turned into a potential death trap for me, and I was trying my best to shuffle up the lawn which had been submerged in several inches of water.
Dora, arent you going to say hello to your old dad then?
I turned around so fast, that I lost my balance on the slippery ground and ended up falling over. I heard some footsteps hurry towards me, and I was greeted by Dad offering his hand to me.
I can see that your balance still hasnt improved then, he teased.
Shut it, Dad. You dont know how embarrassing it is to visit the Apothecary and ask for more bruise healing potion," I grumbled. "They must think Im some violent person who cant help but get into fights.
Alright, but dont mention it to your mum, you know how she can worry, Dad said.
Yeah I know. I remember when I forgot to send her an owl once in first year, and I got a howler instead, I replied grimly. Even reliving that experience was horrible.
Nymphadora, is that you? Mum emerged from the kitchen just in time to see me wiping the mud off my robes. Have you gone and fallen over again? Honestly, youre an adult now, not a five year old. Anyway, do you want a cup of tea? The waters just boiled, and its jolly well freezing out here, so a warm drink would do you good.
Sorry Mum. Dad distracted me, and I couldnt help but fall, I apologised to her. A cup of tea would be lovely though.
As Mum headed back into the kitchen to sort the tea out, Dad shot me a conspiratorial wink and followed her into the kitchen. Going home never changed, I thought happily, as I trundled into the house.
We gathered around the fireplace in the sitting room, and Mum brought out a packet of digestives and began proffering them around. They were some odd Muggle biscuit that Dad had introduced to Mum, and she promptly became addicted to them after eating her first.
So hows work then Nymphadora? You have dreadful bags under your eyes; theyre not making you work too hard, are they? I glared at Mum at the mention of Nymphadora. She never learned. I told her to tone down her worrying too.
Its fine. Nothing interesting has really happened I paused sensing this would be a good time to bring up the Order.
But? Mum cut in, impatient to get to the details.
Ive joined this secret group. I dont know whether you know it, but its called The Order of the Phoenix. I waited to see if there was going to be any reaction, but there was none so I simply carried on. The main aim of the Order is to fight Voldemort and all of his cronies. Were not doing anything major now, so theres nothing to worry about Mum. Were recruiting new members and doing simple surveillance work. Easy stuff really.
Mum and Dad sat there in silence, both looking down at the coffee table. I didnt really know what to do, so I began chipping off the red nail varnish I had put on the day before. I didnt expect them to be so shocked, and this wasnt even the proper bombshell. I was beginning to wonder whether mentioning Sirius really would be a good idea, or whether I should wait another day and see if they were more open to shocking news then.
Suddenly, Mum broke the silence. Thats great new Tonks. Someone needs to stand up to the Ministry and people like my sister. You must promise me that you wont purposefully land yourself in dangerous situations, as I dont know what I would do if I lost you.
Oh God. I didnt know whether to be pleased or not. At least she hadn't brought out the shouting and forbade me from joining it. I mean, she actually said it was great, but the protective Mum was so annoying as she was such a neurotic.
Of course Mum, you know I wouldnt do that to you, I replied jovially. I did try to avoid danger, it was just my coordination skills seemed to land me in it most of the time.
Im proud of you Dora. I would join myself if it wasnt for my dodgy hip, Dad piped up. I glanced over to him and I swore I could see tears glistening in his eyes. Gosh, this was an odd feeling having my parents be proud of me. Id better go and crack open the champagne.
Wait. Theres one more thing, I interjected. Here it goes Tonks. Now or never. Well, it wasnt really never as I could tell them another time, like next week perhaps. That sounded better. No, I had to do it now. Damn, now they were both giving me strange looks for not continuing my sentence, Id best say it now then. Sirius Black is innocent. Hes a member of the Order too. Its his house, twelve Grimmauld Place, which acts as the headquarters.
There were both silent again. Mums face was agog and Dads fists were clenched. I decided to continue my inane rambling in the hope it would stun them out of their stupor.
Well, the thing is, it turned out it was actually Peter Pettigrew who betrayed them. But he framed Sirius, faked his own death and ran away. Of course everyone thought Sirius was the culprit, and you know what Barty Crouch was like, so he never got to have his say and was just banished to Azkaban. Then you know how he escaped. Merlin, that was an awful explanation. Hopefully they would be able to get the gist of it.
Is this true, Nymphadora? We were back to using full names; it must be serious.
Of course its true. I wouldnt make something as extreme as this up.
Excuse me, I need to go and just think things through, Mum muttered quickly, before sweeping out of the room. It probably was best to bring this up before bringing the champagne out then.
Its not your fault Dora, Dad said, noticing my confused expression. Its just hard for her, as Sirius was the only one she trusted and liked. For that to be taken away from her, she began to hate him, so just imagine how shes feeling now. Id best go after her.
Dad quickly followed her out of the room, and I was left by myself. I guess it could have gone worse, I mused, at least there was no screaming and shouting. I noticed that the digestives had been left uneaten; well, it would be a shame to let them go to waste.
The rest of the visit was fairly awkward with Mum not really speaking and being immersed in her thoughts most of the time. It was left to me and Dad to have a stunted conversation during dinner. Hopefully this Order meeting wouldnt be as bad, I thought, while pounding the pavement of Grimmauld Place the following Thursday.
I was determined not to make a fool of myself in front of Remus. I had managed to embarrass myself in front of him on all of the other occasions, so I was dearly hoping this time would be different. Ringing the doorbell, it was answered a few minutes by a very flustered looking Molly Weasley.
Hello there, Tonks. If you could try and not use the doorbell in the future that would be wonderful, as it sets Mrs Blacks portrait off, Molly said, while sweeping some hair out of her eyes.
Of course, Molly. Are you alright?
Im fine dear. Its just incredibly stressful with all the Order business, trying to clean the house and making sure none of the children get into trouble, she replied wearily as she opened the door to the hallway.
There was a sudden bang, and I felt water drench me. What on earth was that? And who on earth did it? I looked down on the floor and saw a bucket with water rolling out of it. Aha. It was a well-known Muggle prank. Dad had taught me it, when you balanced a bucket of water on top of the door, and it attacked an unsuspecting victim. I was rather impressed that they managed to pull it off, as I had never been able to do it. Molly didnt seem any way near as impressed though.
Fred, George get down here immediately or you'll both be in a big trouble, she bellowed loudly. It was so loud that a serpent figurine on a shelf nearby began to shake.
A loud pop announced the arrival of a gangly pair of ginger twins.
Mother! How are you on this fine day? This was Freds attempt at charming his mother? Frankly, it was terrible. And Tonks, long time no see!
I didnt realise it had been raining. Is it really that bad out there? George asked me seriously. I was trying to hold back my laughter, as I knew Molly wouldnt appreciate it in the slightest.
You two, quiet at once. Do not think you will get away with this. I will be having words with your father during the meeting. I may even mention it to Professor Dumbledore if I see an opportunity arise, Molly threatened them. Tonks, just go through. Theres no need to stay.
I was glad that I could make an escape, as I hated being in situations like that. I ended up sauntering into the kitchen with water dripping from my hair onto the floor.
What on earth happened to you, Tonks? Did you happen to catch the only grey cloud in London? Sirius accosted me with questions as soon as I walked in. Oi, Remus. Doesnt Tonks look like Caradoc Dearborn after that time when we dumped him in the lake?
Crap. Why did he have to draw Remus attention to this? I could have just cast a drying spell on my hair and forgot all about it. But no, Remus was going to think I was just a walking disaster.
Its a very fetching look Tonks, Remus chuckled while strolling over to us. How did you end up drenched?
Fred and Georges stupid prank. At least Mollys dealing with them now, so they should face harsh repercussions. I laughed a little too darkly and it drew a strange look from Sirius. Fortunately, Mundungus Fletcher strode into the room, caught sight of Sirius and headed over to us.
Alright Sirius. Sorry bout those cauldrons. I was bout to get caught, so I had to ditch em and scarper otherwise Id be in the nick. Should be another shipload soon, Mundungus muttered quietly. He hadnt seemed to have noticed me then.
You bloody well should be sorry. I had to spend a whole hour with John bloody Dawlish in Regents Park looking for you, and then to find out youd run off to Holland. Dont be apologising to Sirius, be apologising to me, I burst out.
Remus and Sirius chuckled at my heated outburst, and Mundungus didnt seem fazed at all. I would have to work on being scarier then.
Blimey Tonks, you sound like my old mum, and that ain't sumfink you wanna sound like. Ill be less spicuous next time Tonks, dontcha worry. Mundungus winked at me. I should report him to Kingsley, but as he wasnt here yet, I might just give him the slip.
I was trying to think of a great comeback, but Dumbledore and Kingsley strode into the room before I could reply.
Hello everyone. Its wonderful that you could all make it to this meeting, if you could all be seated so we could start this meeting promptly, Dumbledore announced.
I shuffled behind the others and ended up next to Remus and the woman who wore the carpet slippers. I think her name was Arabella Figg. Molly rushed into the room looking even more flustered once we were all seated. Unfortunately for her, the only free seat was next to Snape who was sitting alone. I guess everyones feelings towards him were mutual.
We have some important topics we need to discuss today. I have managed to gain some excellent information about Voldemorts current aims. It appears he is looking for a weapon in the Department of Mysteries. I do not know what it is or what it does. But it is very powerful and dangerous, so we must keep it safe before he can grasp it. Hopefully we will be able to have someone guarding it all the time and I will be grateful for anyone who does so. Dumbledore paused for a minute to shoot us a twinkly grin. He really did have a way of persuading us do things.
Secondly, as some of you may know Harry Potter is currently very exposed to Voldemorts forces by being at his aunt and uncles, so we must remove him from there as soon as possible. However, we will require a minimum of five people to do this. Dumbledore was promptly cut off by a surly Moody who was even more hidden than Snape. I would have gone and said hello if I knew he was there.
Albus, dont be so lenient, five will not do. Constant Vigilance is a must, and this is the boy who lived. I recommend around ten, and they must be experienced. Mad-Eye shot of look of disdain towards Mundungus.
Ill do it, I piped up excitedly. I managed to make the whole room look at me. Crap. And it had to be on a day when my hair was looking awful.
Thank you for your enthusiasm, Nymphadora. I am sure your training and skill as an Auror will be highly beneficial to the mission. Dumbledore smiled at me. At least he didnt seemed bothered by my outburst, unlike Snape who was scowling in the corner and Bill who seemed to think the entire situation was incredibly hilarious.
Ill go too. Harry knows me, so it will be nice for him to have someone he recognises, Remus said proudly and gave me a conspiratorial wink. At least there would be someone nice going who could help counteract Moodys insane personality.
There you go Alastor, Im sure you wont be short of volunteers, Dumbledore chimed in. Again, this is only a short meeting as there isnt much to discuss at this moment in time, so you may leave.
I was almost tempted to mention the thing Dung said to Kingsley, but he was in another serious looking conversation with McGonagall, Dumbledore and Mad-Eye. I decided I would rather hang out with the more fun people such as Bill, Remus and Sirius. Well, Sirius was usually fun but he seemed to be in a foul mood right now. He looked as if he wanted to punch someone.
I see you were a victim of the twins' prank then Tonks? Bill asked cheerily. Oh I forgot to say, dont mention Fleur around my mum. Its still earlier days yet and if she finds out, shell be begging to meet her.
Didnt you want to go and boast to mummy that you managed to get a date with a Veela then? I was glad I could get a dig at Bill. It was revenge for him laughing at me. I will do though. Are you excited for the rescue mission, Remus? I asked in attempt to draw him and Sirius into the conversation as they were both looking blankly at the table.
It should be fun, and it will be nice to see Harry again. I cant imagine Moody being a nice person to lead us though.
Yeah, he is a slave driver. You should have seen him during training; he would make us swim in water which was minus ten degrees. It apparently strengthened our character. I still hadnt forgiven him for that incident, and I didnt think I ever would.
Sirius perked up at this point and decided to join in the conversation. How do you think I feel? I had to do that for hundreds of miles!
I suppose, but you didnt have Mad-Eye throwing tickling jinxes at you if you dared stop, I replied. My reply must have been louder than I realised, as it caught Mad-Eyes attention.
Is that you complaining, Nymphadora? I still have the power to make you do it again, and dont think Im too afraid to use it. You will be swimming to the Arctic before you can say nox. He had a sadistic look on his face, almost as if he was reveling in the pain he could inflict upon me. He had evidently become more twisted with age.
Ill take that as my cue to leave. I have yet another report to write, and Id best it get done before Kingsley gets his knickers in a twist. See you soon guys. I stood up and made my way over to the door, when I heard another chair scrape on the floor and footsteps follow.
Er, Tonks, sorry if this sounds a bit forward, but did you have a chance to talk to your mum about Sirius? As hes really down at the moment, and Im sure a visit from her will cheer him up, Remus asked gingerly.
I did I paused not really knowing how to describe her reaction. I think she still needs time to get her head around the fact hes innocent before she sees him.
Oh, ok. Remus voice fell a little. I can understand as I was shocked when I found out the truth, I think anyone would be. I had better not keeping you waiting, Tonks. See you soon.
See you, I replied cheerily before continuing on my way. Wow. My first assumptions of Remus being some sort of quiet, boring fellow were changing. He was actually a rather good laugh, and he was a good friend to Sirius too.
Author Note: Hello again! I hoped you liked the meeting the parents part it was a lot of fun to write. For you Downton Abbey fans out there, they filmed some of the exterior shots in Bampton which is a real town. Morris dancing is also real, and recommend watching some videos of it, as it is funny!
How did you like the twins prank? They wont feature much, but will pop up now and then. How did you like Moody and Mundungus cameos? They were so much fun to write, so they should appear more:D
As always I will shower you in cookies if you leave a review, as they really do make my day! Thanks for reading :)

Welfare variations and the comparative statics of demand
By employing order-theoretic comparative statics, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the direct utility function (alternatively, on the indirect utility function) to guarantee that the compensating and equivalent variations are monotonically increasing in income. We also show that these conditions are sufficient to guarantee normal demand. Our results do not depend on the smoothness or strict quasiconcavity of the utility function, and can be extended to a setting with non-linear prices. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2013

What is this oozing scab on hand?
My son had IV drip in hand for 2 days, it was taken out 3 days ago. Since it was removed it has left a large scab,oozing,full of puss,bright red surrounding mark,hand very hot and swollen too. I have been cleaning it with Dettol and keeping it covered but it seems to be getting worse. The site of IV is a scab about half a centimetre wide, from past drips it's normally a pinprick mark left.
He had IV drip in same hand week before and when it was taken out it left no mark at all.
Anyone know what this could be or ever had something similar after IV drip removal?
Re: What is this oozing scab on hand?
Infection of some kind.

Online: For more information on the land-use plan go to newcommons.wordpress.com
Two nonprofit organizations are circulating a plan for what they're calling a "A New Commons in Encinitas" in hopes of stimulating discussion on future land uses in the eastern part of the city.
The Leichtag Family Foundation and the Thomas C. Ackerman Foundation provided $35,000 for San Diego-based Estrada Land Planning to develop the plan, which is generating criticism from some civic activists on local blogs.
The area includes huge swaths of land along El Camino Real and Quail Gardens Drive, bounded by the Batiquitos Lagoon to the north. The "commons" would be anchored by the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, San Diego Botanic Garden, Magdalena Ecke YMCA and the San Dieguito Heritage Museum.
The concept envisions a "well functioning and integrated core located on a corridor between Saxony Road and Quail Gardens Drive, connected through trails (including pedestrian and bicycle bridges over Interstate 5) and open spaces south and west to Cottonwood Creek and Moonlight Beach."
The goal of the project is to "create some conversation" as the city moves toward updating its general plan, a document that governs land use citywide, said Jim Farley, spokesman for the Leichtag Family Foundation.
Farley said the plan has been submitted to the city and is being presented at homeowners association meetings.
The nonprofit groups worked with civic activists and community leaders — including the city's downtown guru, Peder Norby, and Pacific Station developer John DeWald — to draft the plan. The groups came up with ideas, such as developing a preschool to the east of Quail Gardens Drive in cooperation with the Encinitas Unified School District. A hotel could be built at the northeast corner of the Quail Gardens Drive and Leucadia Boulevard intersection, overlooking open space. A pedestrian bridge over Quail Gardens Drive could provide access to the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, the plan states.
Farley emphasized that the plan is only a starting point, and no developer is proposing a project.
"The vision was not intended to be a template for any development," Farley said. "It was intended to stimulate a discussion."
Mayor Dan Dalager said he appreciates the attempt to build community consensus. "My view is that those things work a lot better from the bottom going up, than vice versa," he said.
Civic activist Bruce Ehlers said the plan resembles failed ballot measures that sought to develop agricultural land.
"I immediately notice this vision is consistent with the previous proposal to move the library to Quail Gardens Drive. It has many of the same players, with the same goal … to develop more of Encinitas," Ehlers wrote in a comment on theleucadiablog.com.
Encinitas Planning and Building Director Patrick Murphy said that the report will be reviewed and discussed like any other comment on the general plan update.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc. said that a panel of European Union regulators recommended marketing approval for its drug Adasuve, an inhaled treatment for agitation in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
The company and its partner Grupo Ferrer Internacional said the advisory panel recommended that Adasuve be approved for the control of mild to moderate agitation in adult patients. The panel recommended that patients receive regular treatment as soon as their agitation symptoms are under control, and that Adasuve be administered only at a hospital under supervision of a health care professional.
Alexza does not have any products on the market, and Adasuve is its most advanced drug candidate. If the drug is approved in Europe, the companies will be able to market it in all 27 EU countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. A decision on the drug is expected in the first quarter of 2013.
Privately held Grupo Ferrer is based in Barcelona, Spain.

Greenpeace activists unfurl the banner reading "Stop Ocean Destruction" in front of the Divine Mercy, a commercial fishing vessel anchored near the port of Pio Duran, Albay Province, around 500 kilometers south of Manila.The vessel does not have a proper license to operate. The Greenpeace ship, M/Y Esperanza is in the Philippines for the "Ocean Defender Tour of Southeast Asia 2013." The tour aims to tell the story of the richness and the beauty of the Philippine seas, expose destruction that causes marine degradation and sound the alarm to call for urgent government action to save the Philippine seas from crisis. Greenpeace and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) today vowed to end illegal fishing, which they said was the "scourge of the Philippine seas." Greenpeace is calling for more stringent measure to stop illegal fishing in Philippine waters.

Eight Greenpeace teams travelled to well-known remote areas across three continents to collect water and snow samples, and test them for PFCs, the hazardous chemicals used to make outdoor gear waterproof.

Thanks to all of the contributors. Your captions were hilarious!
I agree - ROTFL!
Failing to come to a complete stop, Ferdinand managed to get in a crap load of trouble. The end result: a mooving violation. Ferd thought the officer beefed up the charges due to catching a whiff of ethanol and methane.
Did you see the sign not? there is a stop!
Popping a wheelie, bull style.....
Jeez, what a place! No pastures, and McDonald's at nearly every corner! This is no place for a tender heifer like myself. I'm out of here!
And they said bulls can't do ballet...Ha!
Billy, still an apprentice, had to practice his moves for the china shop outdoors.
Stop signs don't apply to bulls on the lam.
Lean beef. ((sorry, had to. LOL))
I could make better time if I could only get more than one foot on the ground at a time. Or. Where did she go??!! Where did she go??!!
Barely into the intersection, the sign changed to "Don't Walk" so Ferdinand did the cha-cha.
Yeehaa! I'm outa here!

Ok, I wiped the drive and put on a fresh install of Windows 7. It never even touched a mouse before it crashed. (I did install a mouse AFTER it crashed, to facilitate in getting the dump file).

Others of the BOSD team may well drop by and pick it up.
The stop code is 24, this is usally hard drive issue. Also, ntfs.sys is hard drive controller driver. Therefore I would suggest you to run a disk check and Hard drive diagnostic to find out if there is any problems with the hard drive.
Disk Check

Amdxata.sys with description Storage Filter Driver is a driver file from company Advanced Micro Devices belonging to product Storage Filter Driver.
You have checked your RAM and you know that it is OK. You have checked your hard drive and you know that is OK. Before we do more hardware testing, I suggest you run Driver Verifier.
Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Drivers
Please follow these instructions in order to run it:
(quote) Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Windows 7 Startup Repair feature).
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.

Thanks again.
Did a format/fresh install once again. I had a suspicion that the Intel HD Graphics drivers are making my system unstable. Therefore, I did not install them -- and let the system run/idle for 2 hours. It hasn't crashed yet. This situation obviously isn't a short, nor long-term solution.
Clearly something in the driver set from Intel is pissing off Windows 7. Or, I could have a faulty i3.
I wish there were a way to check the integrity of the Core i3....
I have been monitoring temps. within the BIOS and with Everest...no issues there. Reseated the processor. Checked the HD, RAM.
It's gotta be the drivers/processor...

Wait a day or two and see if it crashes without the Intel drivers loaded - then you will know for sure whether you have a hardware problem or not.

Nope, it went down again, sans Intel drivers...
