The Carroll Foundation Trust one billion dollars "cross-border" international organised crime tax evasion case took a further disturbing new twist with yet another UK Law Society firm "named" in the compelling criminal evidence FBI Scotland Yard Carroll Trust case files. Sources have confirmed that the City of London law firm Penningtons Manches LLP premises were "penetrated" by the international crime syndicate which "removed" Carroll Foundation Trust archival administrative records within a co-ordinated criminal seizure operation attempt targeted at the trust's primary Carroll Global Corporation group of companies world wide interests.
It is understood that the FBI Scotland Yard Carroll Trust "Blue Files" compelling criminal evidence dossiers are currently "held in custody" under supervision of the elite law enforcement officers charged with this massive fraud and embezzlement operation which stretches the globe. These further shocking revelations which involves another law firm in the Carroll Case follows on from British and American media reports concerning the "criminal destruction" of the Gerald Carroll Trust life tenant estate records at a firm of solicitors in the County of Essex which has been "named" as the merged firm of Prestons Kerlys LLP + Pinney Talfourd LLP with offices in Hornchurch and Brentwood Essex "directly linked" to horrific weapons attacks and ongoing "threats to kill" targeted at Gerald Carroll's person in his capacity as the "life tenant sole beneficiary" of the Carroll Foundation Trust.
UK Government sources have confirmed that Mark Field MP for the City of London and Westminster representing the primary victims "in concert" with Dominic Grieve QC MP Attorney General also continue to retain the explosive compelling criminal evidential prosecution files in the Carroll Foundation Trust case. Further sources have disclosed that the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Scotland Yard is "personally co-ordinating" the tasked organised crime officers to finally arrest and prosecute Britain's most dangerous white collar crime syndicate which continues to operate in the City of London and in offshore tax havens including Gibraltar British Virgin Islands and Nassau Bahamas with impunity.

Travel To Go Presents Green Travel Tips As Part Of Their Anniversary Celebration
Jeanette Bunn and Tommy Middaugh, travel executives, are pleased to announce the 23rd Anniversary of Travel To Go, San Diego. Travel To Go San Diego offers affordable quality luxury vacations creating dreams to last a lifetime.
January 23, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Since 1990, Travel To Go has been offering affordable luxury travel. In observance of the 23rd Anniversary of Travel To Go, Jeanette Bunn, President of Travel To Go, and Tommy Middaugh, Executive Vice President, have designated this year to focus on enhanced customer service and to expand their green travel program.
The terms "green travel" or "ecotourism" evoke a wide variety of images ranging from sleeping in hammocks to purchasing pricey hemp luggage from the newest "hip" shopping center. However, to travel green one does not have to do without luxury or inversely to spend a lot of money. It simply means doing ones part to preserve the ecology of the place(s) visited. In fact, green travel can save travelers money at the same time. Jeanette Bunn and Tommy Middaugh have provided the following list of ways to save money through green tourism, while at the same time helping to "save the planet".
Packing and Planning
1. Pack light, especially when flying. It not only saves on extra baggage fees, but less baggage equals less weight equals less fuel.
2. Print maps and tourist information before leaving. Better yet, borrow a guidebook from the local library and save a tree.
3. Purchase empty travel bottles and fill them with favorite shampoo and other products. By reusing them on multiple trips travelers save money and keep dozens of travel size bottles from local landfills.
4. Bring one's own digital camera instead of purchasing an expensive disposable camera that can only be used once before being dumped in a landfill.
5. Whenever possible get around town using public transportation.
6. Take short trips by walking or using a bicycle.
7. If travelers have to rent a car get a small one, or better yet rent a hybrid. Many car rental companies are now offering hybrid vehicles. Sure they might cost a little bit more to rent, but typically save on fuel prices.
8. If taking one's own automobile, take some or all of the following steps to increase your fuel efficiency and save on gas costs while reducing emissions. Have a tune-up before you leave, make sure your tires are properly inflated and reduce the number of unnecessary items you might have stored in the back seat or in your trunk. Turn off the air conditioner whenever possible. Reduce any drag on your car by removing roof racks and driving with your windows closed.
During The Trip
9. Eat locally produced food. It is a lot healthier and less expensive and it saves on all the shipping costs and emissions from transporting them across the country.
10. Buy locally produced souvenirs. Handicrafts made by locals are not only sustainable but they are often a fraction of the price of items shipped in from out of town.
11. Visit local, state and national parks and reserves. The costs are usually very reasonable and the fees are used to support these protected areas.
12. Bring one's own reusable water bottle instead of filling up landfills with old ones. If the tap water is not safe to drink at a destination, purchase a gallon size or larger of water and use it to refill the smaller bottle. It saves money buying in bulk and saves the environment from billions of water bottles.
13. Stay with family and friends whenever possible. Hotels use a lot more energy and resources than homes through daily cleaning, mini bottles of shampoo, hallway lights constantly lit. Whenever staying in hotels remember to turn off the lights and TV, turn the A/C down whenever leaving, and when an option reuse the towels and sheets instead of changing them daily.
14. Look into a home exchange whenever possible. This type of tourism not only saves money over an expensive hotel, but travelers can more easily practice green living while away from home.

Sky's Gary Neville accuses employers of 'media terrorism' over Spurs Tim Sherwood [Best tweets]
After Tottenham's 5-1 in over Sunderland, Sky Pundit Gary Neville spoke about Tim Sherwood and the reports that emerged today regarding his sacking.
Sky Sports News today broke the story that Tim Sherwood would be relieved of his duties as Spurs boss at the end of the season.
Speaking after the match about the rumours, Neville described it as 'media terrorism'.
Does that mean Gary Neville works for a terrorist organisation?

Does anyone else feel this way about literary names?
I quite like a lot of literary names- Keats, Harper, Tennyson, Auden, and Ray (Bradbury) are among my favorites- but a part of me finds them a bit pretentious. As great as names like Atticus and Salinger are, and I do truly like them, when I hear them used a part of my brain rolls its eyes and thinks, "yes, I read those books in 8th grade too. You're not especially cultured for knowing them."
Does anyone else feel this way, or am I crazy?
May 7th, 2013 03:50 PM #3
I don't really care. If I was crazy about Atticus, I'd use Atticus because 1.) I like it, 2.) Atticus Finch is one of the most badass characters in the history of books, and 3.) Because why the heck should I care about what other people thinks - if someone told me they thought a name I like sounds pretentious, I'd tell them that it's good for them that they have an opinion that they're choosing to share with me, but that I'm gonna use it anyway because it's special to me.Zelia • 20s • Exporting names from Greenland & Inuit mythologyAlexander Adelin Lórien "Sasha" • Henry Ásgeirr Ivik • Asa Bjørnstjerne Jem • Nor Valdemar Olórin • Marcel Endymion Sejr • Julian Saxo Dante

lol. I have heard that idea, and I know for a fact you're not the only one who feels that way, but at the same time--I'm not one of those people. Literature is a huge part of who I am, all the books I've read have formed me as a person, and, imo, for the better, and I love the idea of honoring that (and, of course, the idea that my children will fall in love with these characters just as much as I have!). I never really had imaginary friends as a child, but I had friends from books, and as a shy kid books meant just about everything to me. So it doesn't come across as pretentious to me at all--it's like honoring friends or family that have been there for me through everything, that have taught me wonderful lessons and opened the world to me. Besides, some literary names don't sound pretentious at all--like Elizabeth for Lizzy Bennet, or Jack for Jack Worthing, or Emilia in A Comedy of Errors. Just amazing names.Ashley | storyteller | Christian

Yes, I feel exactly as you do. Especially with names inspired by To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye. It feels a bit like the parents are trying to be impressive and just chose the first literary name they could think of, from a book that everyone has read because it is required. I am a bit of a hypocrite though, because part of the reason Raymond is my top boys name is after Ray Bradbury because he was me and my dad's shared favorite author. I guess the pretentiousness comes from the intent. If a parent just loves the name and the book and feels super excited and connected to the name, that's fantastic! It does seem, though that many people are just using random literary names to project a certain image on themselves as creative, scholarly, and of course, cool.

I've never really thought about it, but I can see where you're coming from. I love literary names, but I've been a huge reader all my life and am now an English major. But unless that book or author held special significance, I wouldn't name my child after it just because it's a literary name. I'm a huge fan of The Great Gatsby, and I think Gatsby would make an adorable name. It's a bit out-there, though, and I'm actually considering using it for a dog.

Right now, Robert Downey Jr. is the man with one of the most powerful franchises in his hand. If it were up to Marvel, they would have a new Iron Man film out every year, since the last film was a billion dollar hit. But for now, all parties involved are holding steadfast on Downey Jr.'s contract, which stipulates two more Avengers films and no further solo Iron Man adventures. Could Downey possibly change his mind about not coming back to the solo films?
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly (who seriously have the Marvel hookup), Downey reveals that he's absolutely up for more, but that it depends on "negotiations." Which is what people like Downey Jr. call money.
"It's down to Kevin [Feige, Marvel Studios president] and Ike [Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment] and Disney to come to us with what the proposal is, and that's on us to agree or disagree. When things are going great, there's a lot of agreement... It's that thing of: Why give up the belt when it feels like you can barely get jabbed?"
Downey finished 2013 as the year's highest paid actor due to the massive $75 million he recouped through back-end deals in Iron Man 3. He'll receive a similar amount for next year's Avengers: Age Of Ultron, provided the film performs up to expectations and makes a comical amount of money. And outside of that, his career is going swimmingly: later this year he's got The Judge and he can always return to the Sherlock Holmes films. Beyond that, it seems certain we can find an A-List director willing to work with him. That Robert Downey Jr. is sure to make something of himself soon.
In other words, Iron Man made him what he is, but Downey doesn't need the suit anymore, nor does he wish for it to define him. Early reports on Avengers: Age Of Ultron, however, suggest he's got a smaller supporting role this time around. Is his desire to downplay Tony Stark going to result in the marginalization of his most beloved role?
The flip side is, does anyone want to see a 55 or 60 year old Tony Stark? Downey basically thinks there's a chance they could run this character ragged, but that hasn't stopped Marvel from getting Captain America and Thor into four movies in five years with next year's Age Of Ultron. Is Robert Downey Jr. basically questioning the Marvel model? Or is wearing that suit just a cumbersome pain in the ass?
Perhaps Downey knows the limitations of the character. How many more Iron Man stories can you tell? There are a number of good ones in the comics, but many of them either render Tony Stark static, depict him as a jerk, or find a way to re-establish just another status quo. Maybe Downey realizes the pratfalls of repeating himself: after all, that second Sherlock Holmes collected over half a billion dollars at the box office, but no sequel is forthcoming. Robert Downey Jr. holds the keys to the Tony Stark empire, and he's not ready to relinquish them yet.

Graywalkers: Purgatory - Update #14, Environments
Dreamlords Digital has posted the next update for Gray Walkers: Purgatory that goes in to details about super typhoons, and the games environment.
Due to the nature of how the country-sized island of Purgatory was formed, the land is composed of various types of terrain and environments close to each other.
Normally, when people say it is a post-apocalyptic game, the idea is always a desert like wasteland. Though a lot of those exist in the lands of Purgatory, the mystical nature of the entire place makes the environment much more varied and much more dangerous.
You will find yourself in environments such as sandy deserts, rocky plains, thick jungles, barren roads, cities over run with plant life, mystical swamps, snow-covered peaks, burning hellish locales, dark forests, magical Eden-like gardens, and many others. Take note that it is possible to have different kind of environments not too far from each other.
Environmental Game Effects
In the game itself, we are looking at environment to be a factor not just in combat , but also with regards to survival. In normal mode, you won't have to worry too much about food, water and the environment. However, at a higher difficulty level, these things suddenly come into play.
For example, with normal gameplay, you don't need to manage food and water with regards to survival, You only need food and water to simply speed up your recovery of health and energy.
In a higher difficulty rating, you will need food and water constantly to survive. Not having enough food and water on a daily basis will deteriorate your character's stats. Eventually, if it takes too long without food and water, they can also eventually die. The environment your character is in will determine how fast you need the food and water. For example, if your character was in a settlement that sold any food or water, even without really buying anything, your needs will practically be suspended. Your body will be in a "safe zone" of sorts. The moment you step out though, well that changes everything. The type of environment you are in will determine what you will need more. Some environments will require you to need more water than food, and vice versa. To minimize management, there will probably be an auto-consume function. As long as you have food in the team, you don't have to worry about it until you're close to running out.
Other effects of the environment will be on movement, both in the strategic view and in the tactical view. In the strategic map, the environment affects your travel speed. Really bad terrain will slow down your movement as you travel across some parts of the land.
On the tactical level, the environment affects your movement as well. In combat, moving over difficult terrain will cost you more action points to move through them.
Also, the environment affects things like visibility and cover. Using your environment to your advantage will make a big difference between success and failure.

Continental, United announce integration team
Continental and United announce integration team
Published 5:30 am, Thursday, May 20, 2010
Continental and United airlines Wednesday named executives from each airline to lead their merger integration efforts.
From Continental, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Zane Rowe and Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Jim Compton will sit on an integration steering committee.And from United, the committee will include Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Kathryn Mikells and Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Pete McDonald. Continental CEO Jeff Smisek and United CEO Glenn Tilton will lead that team.
Once the two airlines merge, Smisek will become the CEO of the combined carrier.
Also, McDonald and Lori Gobillot, Continental's staff vice president and assistant general counsel, will lead an "integration management office," which will oversee the daily integration planning and make recommendations to the committee. That office will create five groups, each led by a Continental and United employee.
The committee will operate between now and the merger closing, expected by the end of 2010.
It will ask employees for their views on a variety of issues, including uniforms and their travel passes, Smisek said in an employee bulletin made public Wednesday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Planning work is expected to begin in June.
"The merger integration planning will require a detailed and very organized examination of how our businesses will best fit together," Smisek said in the bulletin. "Now that we have a planning structure in place, we will begin to work together with our colleagues from United to review the many issues and make the planning decisions that will help us create the world's leading airline."

Lehighton hires a new principal - Craig Reichl returns to district
MICHAEL A. HEERY/special to the times news Lehighton Area School Board recently hired Adrienne Fedor as full-time art teacher assigned to Mahoning and Shull-David Elementary Schools. Pictured are Fedor and Aaron Sebelin, elementary principal.
A familiar face will soon return to the halls of Lehighton Area High School.
Earlier this week, the school board approved the recommendation to hire Craig Reichl as high school principal.
Reichl had previously served as assistant principal in the district until Nov. 30, 2011 when he resigned to become assistant principal at Colonial Academy in Wind Gap.
He will replace Tim Tkach who is currently serving as both high school principal and coordinator of curriculum, instruction, and grants for the school district. Reichl's first day will be in mid-to-late October. Tkach will continue in his other administrative position.
The school board also approved the hiring of Adrienne Fedor as full-time art teacher assigned to Mahoning and Shull-David Elementary schools.
"I consider myself extremely fortunate to be a part of the Lehighton Area School District community," said Fedor. "I look forward to sharing my passion for art with both Shull-David and Mahoning Elementary students and staff alike."
"Miss Fedor was selected from an impressive group of art educators through our interview process," said elementary principal Aaron Sebelin. "Her experiences at the elementary and middle school levels set her apart from other candidates.
"Her most impressive contribution to our students will be her willingness to work with other teachers to provide cross curricular lessons for the children. She'll be an asset to the Lehighton Area School District for many years to come," he added.
Also, the board approved Michelle Blasiak as paraprofessional and Lisa Crum as part-time cleaner assigned to East Penn Elementary School.
Shaun McElmoyle resigned as supervisor of special services.
Concerning McElmoyle's resignation, board president Rocky Ahner said "it is truly a loss for our school district."
Meggyn Hauck also resigned as long-term language arts substitute teacher
The board approved tenure for the following LASD teachers who were all hired in 2009: Felicia Amorim; Jennifer Boyle; Jessica Corliss; Pamela Firkel; Melissa Geiser; Jessica Grasso; James Gurka; Catherine Hontz; Michele Kirsch; Jacob Marushak; Jacob Molchany; JoAnn Schoenberger; Jessica Scholl; Marianne Slaby; Stephanie Smith; Melissa Volcskai; Jena Wank; and Amanda Yusella.
Under his legislative report, director Dave Krause read an excerpt from the written testimony that the Pennsylvania School Boards Association submitted to chairman Brubaker, chairman Wozniak, and committee members regarding Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1400:
"While PSBA understands the need to alleviate the burden of property tax on local taxpayers, to reach a comprehensive and lasting solution, action must be taken to examine and address the factors driving the cost of public education.
"The only way to ensure that a property tax reform plan has the intended impact on local property taxpayers and does not negatively impact the quality of education in the school district is to address those factors that continue to drive up the cost of education.
"Eliminating property taxes without addressing cost containment and state funding fails to address the elephant in the room."
Delegates to the PSBA Legislative Policy Council will meet in Hershey on Thursday, Oct. 18 to adopt an official platform for the association.
In other business, the school board approved the Junior-Senior Prom at Woodstone Country Club in Danielsville on Friday, May 10, 2013 and the Senior Outing at Split Rock Lodge in Lake Harmony on Friday, May 17, 2013.
The next meeting of Lehighton Area School Board is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. at the LASD Administration Building, Conference Room A.

I am building a research bare-metal hypervisor for testing of shared cache partitions. The platform is an Intel i7 processor, 06_1Eh family/model. I am trying now to force a miss in the level 3 cache and observe the miss in the general performance monitor on the first core. The other cores have not been initialized. I have set the performance monitors to monitor events 0F.20, 2E.41, CB.10, and an uncore monitor event 09.03. Each of these events should report a miss in L3. I read one of the counters twice in a row and the values are different. I have verified that the memory types are WB, and caching is enabled CD,NW = (0,0). Why am I reading multiple L3 cache misses performing a back to back readback of the performance counter? Another researcher recommended disabling the prefetcher, but I cannot see how to do this on the Nehalem family processors. Is there a way to disable the prefetcher, can't find it in BIOS? Overall, I guess my question is, how do I read the L3 performance counters back to back showing no cache misses and then read > 8MB of memory and show a cache miss?
Ok, so for an update, I have downloaded the PCM code and compared it to how I am implementing my performance monitoring. There were some slight difference that I modified to make it match the PCM. I also modified my code so that my rdmsr macros only perform a rdmsr assembly instruction. This has allowed me to perform two reads of the program counter 0 msr back to back and detect no L3 cache miss. Again I am using the 0F.20 performance event. However, every instruction that I execute between the performance checks cause a L3 cache miss. The performance event should only count the number of L3 misses on retired loads. Why does every instruction then cause a L3 cache miss. I implement a large loop and I still get cache misses. The only related instructions that do not cause cache misses are: rdmsr, wrmsr, and rdpmc.
In the VMM i have verified that the cache is enabled, paging is enabled, the PAT indicates WB memory, and the MTRRs indicate WB memory for all user space. My performance counting code is as follows:
(In the VMM before VMLAUNCH)
#define wrmsrl(MSR, val) \\
do { \\
unsigned long eax, edx; \\
eax = (u32)(0x00000000FFFFFFFF & val1); \\
edx = (u32)(val1 >>32); \\
__asm__ __volatile__ ("wrmsr" : : "c" (MSR), "a" (eax), "d" (edx)); \\
} while(0);
#define rdmsr(MSR, eax, edx) \\

HOUMA — Erin Brockovich, the environmental and consumer advocate, will be in Terrebonne and Lafourche this week to speak to local people who say they have been sickened by dispersants used to break up the oil spill.
Brockovich, best known for the 2000 Julia Roberts movie that bears her name, said in an interview Friday that she had been contacted by fishermen whose cleanup work with BP had exposed them to the chemical.
"I'd like to come and find out what's happening," she said. "I'm concerned something deceitful is going on. If that is happening, I intend to help them."
She will spend Monday in Lafourche and Grand Isle, and is scheduled to host a town-hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the Bridge Side Marina, 2012 La. 1, spokesman Justin Bloom said.
She plans to spend Tuesday in St. Bernard Parish and Wednesday in Terrebonne, where she is scheduled to appear on the "Bayou Time" program on HTV-10. Throughout, she plans to visit with local officials and tour the spill by boat, Bloom said.
HTV owner and commentator Martin Folse says he expects Brockovich to appear in the 6 p.m. hour Wednesday.
"It should be an interesting show," he said.
Brockovich first rose to fame in 1993 when as a law clerk she helped build a case in California against Pacific Gas and Electric Company for pollution in drinking water that made nearby residents sick. A 1996 judgment gave the plaintiffs $333 million in damages, which at the time was the largest award for such a case. That story became a movie staring Roberts, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the role.
Since then, Brockovich has hosted TV shows on ABC and Lifetime, and wrote a book, "Take It From Me. Life's A Struggle, But You Can Win."
She continues to work on environmental and consumer cases and is president of her own consulting firm, Brockovich Research & Consulting.
It will be Brockovich's fourth visit to Louisiana since the oil spill first originated, she said, but her first time in Terrebonne and Lafourche.
Her trip was spurred by fishing families in Lafourche who contacted her for help, she said. Upon signing up for BP's Vessels of Opportunity Program, they were told their job would be to lay boom and sop up oil. Instead, some have told her they're being asked to mix and apply dispersant to oil they find in the ocean. They say the chemical exposure made them sick.
She's received about 10 such complaints so far, she said.
Deception from BP would insult to injury on top of the "horrific" damage already expected to plants, animals and ecosystems, Brockovich said.
"My goal is to find out from them what's going on," she said.
On Friday, Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals and Department of Environmental Quality asked the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration to investigate conditions and potential health risks for cleanup workers.
Brockovich says she is expects to be upset by oil spill's continued impact.
"It's frightening because it's so big," she said. "You know it's lurking out there and don't know where it's going to hit. I almost can't wrap my head around it."
Much of her work has been to help heal the effects of past environmental damage, but this case is different because there's still time to act.
"We're living in real time," she said. "If we can't learn from this and protect these folks before it gets there, then we're screwed."
But she wants to help take the message of what's happening to a broader audience.
"I want to be there for local people," she said. "None of us ever listen to the people we should be listening to. They are the ones living and breathing this, even after the media's long gone."
Nonetheless, she's anticipating enjoying the visit to a region dear to her.
"I'm looking forward to coming," she said. "I mean it from the bottom of my heart. The people are so unique, the beaches are beautiful, the Gulf provides so much. I just feel sick in my heart. This is a hearty group of wonderful people. They will rise again."

The Easy Star All-Stars album by album
Dub Side of the Moon (2003)
The band's initial foray into the covers' album was a smash hit, selling more than 85 000 copies and resulting in the formation of the Easy Star All-Stars as a live band. The band's version of Money, which opens with samples of someone taking bong hits while coughing, probably had stoners the world over skinning up.
Breathe (In the Air) has a great lilting reggae groove, and the band's recreation of Time is one of the album's highlights.
Michael Goldwasser says Pink Floyd's Roger Waters sent the band a fax thanking them for sending him Dub Side of the Moon, but he added that he had a policy against endorsing covers of his work.
"But we did get an indirect Pink Floyd endorsement because we heard David Gilmour being interviewed on BBC1 Radio, and he told the interviewer that our album was 'great fun' and that he wished that he had seen us when we had recently been in London!"
Radiodread (2006)
The Easy Star All-Star's second album, Radiodread, was no less ambitious than their first. Reimagining one of the 1990s greatest albums was always going to be a tall order, but the band pulled it off with aplomb.
Highlights include the band's version of Let Down, featuring legendary roots-reggae artist Toots Hibbert on vocals and Sugar Minott's version of Exit Music (For a Film).
Goldwasser says that, through their management, Radiohead told the band that they all really love Radiodread and appreciated the attention to detail. Moreover, Thom Yorke made an announcement praising Hibbert's vocal performance on Let Down from the stage at a concert in Philadelphia.
Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009)
By 2009 the Easy Star All-Stars had established that they were not scared of taking on some of rock's classic albums, so they upped the game by taking on one of the biggest records in music history, the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, featuring Frankie Paul on vocals, retains its trippy feel, but is augmented by a deep reggae groove, but it is tracks like Fixing a Hole and Within You Without You that are served best by the psychedelic reggae feel given to the songs. When I'm Sixty Four is reimagined as a killer roots-reggae number. Goldwasser says the band had not heard anything from Paul McCartney or Ringo Star, or the families of John Lennon and George Harrison. "But that's not to say that they won't contact us in the future," says Goldwasser.
Dubber Side of the Moon (2010)
Easy Star Records co-founder Lem Oppenheimer says the band's new album is a full-length release, featuring the complete sequence of the original Dub Side of the Moon, which has been remixed track by track by other producers, with some bonus tracks.
"We brought in some serious dub masters, like Mad Professor, Adrian Sherwood and Scientist, with some new-school dub producers, like Canada's Juno Award-winning Dubmatix and the mysterious 10 Ft Ganja Plant," says Oppenheimer. "It was also important to us to go more modern, touching on Dubstep and some other current trends influenced strongly by dub and reggae."

Her husband Fikret is a Reformed pastor of the Izmir Protestan Kilisesi (the Protestant Church of Smyrna) and heads up the Turkish Standard Version Bible Translation project, to make an essentially-literal translation of the Bible into Turkish, the first of its kind. As a pastor's wife in a Muslim country, she has a great vision for making the gospel accessible to the public through fiction and non-fiction, and her writing ministry is for this end.
A native of San Diego, California, she received a Bachelors in Social Science with an Ancient Middle Eastern emphasis from Westmont College, and elementary and secondary teaching credentials from Southern California College. She is connected to Westminster Seminary of California through her husband.

As the Qatari government launches the American version of their news outlet Al-Jazeera, they face accusations of attempting to foment citizen outrage by allegedly airing hoax videos of Muslim Brotherhood protesters suffering faked injuries.
The first video shows a protester who seemingly suffered fatal injuries apparently lifting his leg.
On Saturday, Infowars also reported on another video that purported to show Muslim Brotherhood crisis actors posing for photo ops of injuries and deaths.
The supposed staging of these acts is puzzling as there is undoubtedly plenty of actual chaos to report on where real Morsi supporters have been killed by the Egyptian military junta.
In the past, the Qatari government has been known to use Al Jazeera as a propaganda tool against their political enemies.
Qatar also has historic ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
According to one report, "…Qatar is the home of one of the most prominent and outspoken Muslim Brotherhood theologians, Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Dean of Islamic Studies at the University of Qatar, who also works out of London as head of the Islamic Council of Europe." Al-Qaradawi, the report says, could have been the Muslim Brotherhood influence that disrupted a deal to turn over Khalid Sheikh Mohammed – the supposed "principal architect of the 9/11 attacks" according to the 9/11 Commission Report – to American authorities.
The Qatari government has also reportedly backed Al Qaeda elements in Mali and is working with Al Qaeda in Syria to topple the al-Assad regime.
Last April, The Tower.org reported that "In Libya, Qatar was at the forefront of Arab military and financial support for the NATO and Libyan rebel forces that unseated Muammar Gaddafi."

How would you rate the best class-d
Hi again..
ive had a charlize amp from diyparadise for the last two months and have being very happy with it. Im starting to get the itch to upgrade and get some tubes into my system.
Im happy with the sound of the charlize but how much do you reckon id have to spend to better it? Would a chinise valve amp for 500 euros be close in quality/sound?
Part of the problem being ive never owned an amp that cost more than 300 euros second hand. The charlize is far superior to the other amps Ive tried.
its the air core inductor version I have..
Hi Ruaneg,
I've built Greg Balls 150W SKA amp and find it excellent for vey little money.
I have an SI t-amp with modded input caps & new output inductors - sounds great & detailed & initially impressive but SKA is easier to listen to long term & silky smooth.
I know you may be more interested in tube amps but the SKA is a cracker.
hi jkeny...
well i bit the bullet and bought a ming da mc-3r tube preamp. Cost 150euros and 150euros for delivery!! Im a little too impatient to wait 2 months for it to arrive so i went for express delivery.
I cant find anything bad about this amp and it seems its modified by response audio so i may be able to play around with it and even copy the upgrades theyve done on my own!!
anyway Im just curious what the fuss is about tubes..just hoping it doesnt raise my noise floor too much. .. . Now what tubes to buy
Don't worry about noise floor. And don't go nuts over tubes. Lots of high-price tubes are no better, sometimes worse, than many low-price tubes nobody wants. It's all about having the "right" brand. Octals usually cost more than novals, despite being inferior. So don't worry.
You won't get disappointed. Should you want more than you have later on, just build one. There are nine components per channel in a chip amp, if I'm correct. That's about the same number of components as in a SE EL34.
Good luck with your tube amp.
thanks for the info phn!!
Looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about with valves. Hopefully i wont be disapointed:)

His top piece of advice: Try to have something to say. "There is a strategy that potential winners sometime employ, which is called 'I'm sure I'll think of something great once I get up there.' History teaches us that you will not. It simply doesn't happen," he said as the audience at the DGA theater exploded with laughter. "You will stammer; you will embarrass yourselves -- and those of us in the audience will be covering our eyes and looking down.
"Think about it a little," he added. "After all, this is a time you can get up and say something heartfelt about whatever the product was that won you the award."
His second point: This is not about gratitude. "It used to be called an acceptance speech, and now we call it a thank-you speech. That's heading in the wrong direction," Davis said. "My rule is you get three thank-yous. It means if you are going to thank a deity, you may have to drop your mom. And frankly, neither one of them really had a helluva lot to do with the project you were working on. Give them a nice call afterwards."
Davis' final point: Keep it short. "You will never in your life run into a person who says, 'I wish you had gone on for another half-hour," he said. "Short, significant ... and people will remember you with great affection."
During the evening -- which was hosted by ICG president Steven Poster and ECA committee chairman Jim Matlosz -- Emerging Cinematographer Awards were handed out to Steve Romano for "String Theory;" David Mahlman for "Numb;" Yueni Zander for "Dead Grass, Dry Roots;" Alison Kelly for "Spring of Sorrow;" Joseph Arena for "Applebox;" Gregory Wilson for "Somewhere Else;" Stefan Tarzan for "Absaroka;" and Michael Nie for "Not Your Time."
Abe Martinez (Little Candy Hearts) and Brian O'Carroll (8for Infinity) received honorable mentions.
A jury of leading cinematographers selected "Absaroka" and "String Theory" as the best films of the evening.
A screening of the ECA films will be held Oct. 2 at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York.

Antonio Chella at the University of Palermo, Italy, is working with a Telenoid robot, developed by the Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratory in Japan. To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to mimic the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, as well as associate parts of music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these associations to improvise - choosing movements and vocalisations that complement its human duet partner.
Intelligence is often defined as the ability to find connections between existing entities - understanding that a key goes in a lock, for instance. But Chella suggests that a conscious organism should be able to go a step further and introduce novel connections - between, say, musical phrases - that result in the creation of something new. That, in essence, is the idea behind improvisation.
Jazz musicians interviewed by Chella talked of having a mental library of musical phrases that they were able to combine in new ways when prompted by other musicians. Importantly, however, this combination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming", he says. Not really conscious, but not unconscious." Chella wants to replicate these states in a machine. Consciousness could be linked to these moments of combination," he says.

Oh So English Muffins
Now that I live in France, I find it amusingly à propos that I should want to make English muffins 😉 The truth is, we had just moved here in mid-December and in the unusually hectic run-up to Christmas I had forgotten to buy the English muffins for our traditional Christmas day breakfast of Eggs Benedict. Or rather, English muffins are not readily available in French supermarkets and the nearest Marks and Spencer is a mere 90-minute drive away. And while I consider myself lucky to have access to a Marks and Spencer in France, alas it is closed on Christmas Day – and I am mighty glad it is.
But never fear, Thermomix is here and so is the World Wide Web and its millions of happy Thermomix cooks who blog their recipes and creations. So on Christmas morning I searched the web and found an interesting English Muffin recipe on The Opies: Family Food blog. It looked pretty good so I decided to take advantage of the hard work and research that the author had already done – so grateful, many thanks! – and use this recipe. I looked at it long and hard and there was something puzzling me about the first two steps of the recipe so I simplified it by combining the first two steps into one. Lo and behold, I made the most amazing, light, delicious and authentic-looking English Muffins that were even better than store bought. They are full of the wonderful nooks and crannies that typify English Muffins and they are marvellous when split with a fork. ThermoHubby John loved them and they solved our Eggs Benedict problem quite nicely, thank you!
Because there are only two of us and it looked from Mrs Opie's photos that the recipe made quite a few muffins I actually halved it quite successfully and still made 12 beautiful English Muffins – well, ok then, eleven beautiful and one mutant muffin. But all delicious, rest assured!
So with renewed thanks to Mrs Opie (Andrea) and to my Best Friend in the Kitchen, here is the simplest yet recipe for Thermomix English Muffins!
Simplest Yet Thermomix English Muffins
I have simplified this delicious recipe for lazy cooks like me, and also halved it. I used extra strong bread flour instead of plain flour and the muffins turned out beautifully. Makes 12 muffins.
120 g milk
15 g sugar
1 sachet (7 g) instant yeast or 20 g fresh yeast
120 g water
25 g butter
375 g plain flour or extra strong bread flour
1 tsp. salt
- Place milk, sugar, yeast, butter and water in TM bowl and heat 37°C/5 minutes/Speed 1 to activate the yeast. Leave for about 10 minutes (go make yourself a cup of coffee or even take a quick shower!) then whisk 2 seconds/Speed 5 to froth it up.
- Add the flour and salt and mix 20 seconds/Speed 3 or until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Set the speed dial to the lid locked position and knead for 2 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with oiled cling film or a clean tea towel and let rise for about 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled in size. (Here I was wrapping the final Christmas presents and setting the table.)
- Punch down, then roll out to about ½ inch thick. Cut rounds with biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or empty tuna can (what a wonderful idea, Mrs Opie!) and place on a sheet of waxed paper/baking parchment sprinkled with cornmeal or polenta. Dust tops of muffins with cornmeal/polenta, cover and let rise ½ hour. (This is where I opened the Champagne on Christmas morning and I'm sure you can find something to do for 30 minutes or so!)
- Heat a greased heavy-based frying pan or flat skillet. Cook the muffins for about 15 minutes in total – the first 5 minutes with the lid on (this helps them to rise and reduce the density of the muffin) – then flipping them every few minutes until cooked through. Using a simmer mat on a gas hob will allow enough heat through to get a good rise but prevent the bases burning. I used an induction hob and watched them carefully. When cooked, place on a wire rack to cool, then split and enjoy.
In New England we have a thing about "fork split" English muffins and to me that's the best way to serve these beautiful babies. Insert the tines of a fork all the way around the edge of each muffin and then gently break apart to reveal beautiful nooks and crannies that will catch the lashings of butter that melt into them. This to my mind is infinitely superior to slicing English muffins open with a knife!
We ate our English muffins fresh from the pan as Eggs Benedict with poached eggs, smoked salmon and Thermomix Hollandaise Sauce (of course). If you and your guests can resist these homemade delights and there are any left over, they can be stored in plastic bags and then fork split and toasted to a crispy golden finish.
Many, many thanks again to Andrea Opie for her brilliantly clear recipe and for rescuing our 2013 Christmas Day breakfast. It was very comforting to be able to respect our family traditions so soon after moving to our new home in France.
ThermoHubby John and I wish you all a fabulous end to 2013 and a brilliant New Year in 2014, filled with fast, easy, healthy, economical and creative Thermomix cooking!
Bon appétit !

Can't wait to try your recipe as we go through 6 muffins in a sitting easily and they are EXPENSIVE!!! What size cutter works best? Do they rise outwards as well as upwards? Thanks!
Amanda12 May 2014 at 04:56
This was AMAZING!!! Best english muffin recipe I've ever made. I didn't leave them to rise for a half hour after cutting them out due to time restrictions, and they still turned out fluffy an delicious! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Klara10 April 2014 at 11:00
This is the second time I have used your English muffin recipe. The first lot I cut with the biggest glass I had in the house but they ended up a little small, nevertheless delicious! This time around I used another glass we had stashed and never use, which is the perfect size to make generous sized muffins. They again turned out super yummy and they look so beautiful! Just to let you know, I get sick from milk so I used thermie almond milk, half home made thermie butter and half olive oil and they turned out perfect! Thank you so very much for sharing this great and easy recipe! 🙂

Hi! Excited to try these. Do you think I could shape them then refrigerate overnight to cook in the morning? Thanks.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Hollywood actress Madeleine Stowe says she has been helping volunteers bury unclaimed bodies in Haiti.
The "Revenge" and "Last of the Mohicans" star blogged for People.com about a recent trip to the country, which is still trying to recover two years after it was devastated by an earthquake.
Much of the actress' time was spent at the General Hospital morgue, working alongside the Rev. Rick Frechette, a Catholic priest and doctor who has dedicated his life to caring for the poor.
"We're about to pull out as many bodies from the morgue's lockers as we can possibly carry in three trucks," Stowe wrote in her blog, which was posted during the weekend on People.com.
"It's a devotion the team performs because of their belief in all human dignity -- where the dead are lost or forgotten with no one to claim them, Rick and his men retrieve their broken bodies and give them a proper burial," she continued. "Raphael and Conan open the first locker, bodies spill across the room, their limbs in all directions, resting atop one another. Each man and woman, some with IVs still in their veins, has a story we'll never know. The babies are the toughest to take in. They rest there, unclaimed, no one to give them passage to the next world. ... For 2 hours we work away, lifting bodies, placing them in clean linen, a new rosary on each chest, then zip their bags. The men beat a rhythm on the walls, singing, willing the dead to be lifted from this earth and sent to a better place. For incomprehensible reasons, I don't want our work to end. There are two more lockers and it seems wrong to stop before each body is pulled away to safety."

Specifies the maximum number of processes that can be created on a system. Includes system processes and user processes. Any value specified in /etc/system is used in the computation of maxuprc.
This value is also used in determining the size of several other system data structures. Other data structures where this parameter plays a role are as follows:
Determining the size of the directory name lookup cache (if ncsize is not specified)
Allocating disk quota structures for UFS (if ndquot is not specified)
Verifying that the amount of memory used by configured system V semaphores does not exceed system limits
Configuring Hardware Address Translation resources for x86 platforms.
Signed integer
10 + (16 x maxusers)
266 to value of maxpid
Yes. The value is compared to maxpid and set to maxpid if it is larger. On x86 platforms, an additional check is made against a platform-specific value. max_nprocs is set to the smallest value in the triplet (max_nprocs, maxpid, platform value). Both SPARC and x86 platforms use 65,534 as the platform value.
Changing this parameter is one of the steps necessary to enable support for more than 30,000 processes on a system.

Aw, thanks morris. I have forgotten all that now. I am learning all over again. Most of the time I use automatic on the digital. I bet you are excited about getting yours.
It shows on the photos you take take with the digital camera, that you know something about photography. I never had a "real camera", where you had tu make manual adjustments. It shows you always took nice pictures!!
morris, have you ever taken the driving circle tour around Lake Michigan? It is wonderful. There is so much to see, especially in upper and lower Michigan. Sleeping Bear Dunes is awsome up near Traverse City. And if you do it in mid July, the cherries and blueberrys are inseason. Sometimes peaches if they are early.
Thank you morris. I didn't think about a painting. This is from a 35mm camera back in the day.
Excellent photo, chickie!!! I like everything about this one. It would make a nice painting!

Maserati has become the latest brand to target the Porsche 911, with reports from Italy suggesting the company is working on a new two-seat, mid-engined sports car.
While all the recent talk surrounding the Fiat-owned brand has focused on its new SUV and sedans, it seems it hasn't forgotten it made its name building two-seat sports cars.
According to the reports from Italian website MotoriOnline Maserati CEO Harald J. Wester has hinted that the new car would be positioned to take on the likes of the Porsche 911 and Audi R8. The car is likely to carry the GranSport name, last used on the front-engined coupe that finished production in 2007.
Although it would be similar in concept to the Ferrari 458 Italia from Maserati's sister brand, the GranSport is expected to undercut the Ferrari significantly on price to compete directly with the 911 and its increasing number of rivals.
The most likely drivetrain is a mid-mounted V8 and seven-speed dual-clutch, borrowed from Ferrari.
Even though it would be positioned to compete against the 911 it would most likely still be built in limited numbers of between 1500 to 2000 cars per year.
Maserati's last mid-engined two-seater was the Ferrari Enzo derived MC12 in 2004 that was only built in limited numbers. Its current range consists of the GranTurismo 2+2 coupe, GranCabrio convertible and Quattroporte sedan.
As part of a plan to grow sales to 50,000 units by 2015 the company will stretch the next-generation Quattroporte and add a mid-size sedan (expected to be based on the Chrysler 300C platform) and the Kubang SUV (which is based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee).
The GranSport joins a growing number of cars looking to compete against the iconic 911, which has long been held as the benchmark for sports cars. Current rivals include the Audi R8, Lotus Evora and Aston Martin Vantage while cars from McLaren (unnamed project), Mercedes-Benz (AMG SLC) and Jaguar (F-Type) are in the works.
In the meantime, while its rivals have taken aim at the 911, Porsche is looking to add a Ferrari 458 Italia rival to its line-up.
