Today, Keiji Inafune, founder of Comcept, and iconic video game producer with responsible for gaming canon essential MegaMan, published a short piece [link] on mightyno9.com, informing the rest of us of the final release date of the long awaited kickstarter, Mega Man, Shapeshifting, power stealing, nostalgia fueled platformer. Or in his words "Mighty No. 9 is going gold."
The game has had a rocky development since being introduced in August on 2013 with a Kickstarter. There have several delays and much hand wringing anticipation which Inafune addressed directly in this statement: "Firstly, I would like to say again how sincerely sorry we are for how long we have kept all of our fans waiting. We are finally able to deliver some long awaited news regarding Mighty No. 9. We have now confirmed the following release dates for Mighty No. 9: June 21st (North America & Asia) and June 24th (World Wide). We understand that as a result of the various delays we have disappointed and let down our fans, but we are happy to finally be able to deliver the game to everyone who brought us this far."
Comcept also has plans for portable versions to be made available for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS, but there are no hard dates for that yet.

A young ninja must cut down his enemy … with the help of a dubstep soundtrack.
With over 72 hours of footage uploaded every minute, it's physically impossible to keep track of the content on YouTube. But in YouTube Guide, the Daily Dot will curate its five favorite finds for each workday.
1) scottdw, "Fruit Ninja in Real Life to Dubstep!"
A lifetime of training has led to the ultimate test for one young ninja. Faced with a never-ending assault of fruit, he must cut his enemy down with dubstep in the background for inspiration in this IRL version of the popular smartphone game Fruit Ninja.
2) CorridorDigital, "The Glitch"
Many of our favorite video games are filled with glitches, and instead of resetting the game, one soldier decides to rescue his rifle, threatening the very existence of every video game character.
3) teddiefilms, "The Walking Dumb"
It's hard to get by without getting killed in the zombie apocalypse. The walkers have put out their own PSA to parody the Melbourne Metro train PSA with a list of ways not to get killed by Rick Grimes and the gang.
4) allegiancebway, "Fifty Shades of Takei"
George Takei took a leaf out of Gilbert Gottfried's book and recorded a promotion for Fifty Shades of Grey and can't help but put in his own commentary as he reads some of raunchier excerpts. Oh myyy!
5) KirillWasHereCom, "Top 10 Champagne Facials in Slow-Motion"
Kirill Bichutsky celebrated the end of 2012 with a holiday party, and what other way for the man behind Champagne Facials to ring in a new year but feature a series of girls receiving champagne facials in slow-motion?

I investigate the effects of differences in market context and governance arrangements on undergraduate education and separately budgeted research at both public and private universities. Public universities faced with little competition and universities that rely heavily on government subsidies relative to tuition tend to have larger undergraduate enrollments, fewer small classes, lower graduation rates, and are more likely to engage in separately budgeted research than universities with the opposite characteristics. In addition, Catholic universities offer fewer small classes but have higher graduation rates than independent private universities, while other church-affiliated universities spend less on separately budgeted research.

Justin Verlander has easily been the worst starter in the rotation who would benefit the most by taking a break. Nate Robinson has equally been as bad but Verlander has more of an upside. The hope would be JV would work on his delivery & mechanics, take a break and come back and be the ace-type pitcher he has been in the past two years.

All quotes tagged Saddam
(157 quotes found)
"I think it's critical that the president lay out whatever evidence to suggest that [Saddam] poses a bigger threat than he did five years ago."
"But figuring out Saddam Hussein was one our greatest mysteries. He marched to his own drummer and frequently as this unfolded he made decisions which were sometimes inexplicable to us and sometimes didn't look very smart."
"We were able to tour the premises, and we were able to speak to Mr. Saddam Hussein in private without any witnesses present."
"We were unprepared for what we were going to face, what we are facing, in a post-Saddam Iraq. And this is just one more manifestation of the problem."
"I absolutely think that Saddam has made up the allegations and used them to ambush the judge and distract from the testimony."
"(Saddam) took the first strike, that is against the radar sites in the south, as a sign that we really didn't have much stomach for this, and that he could get away and take advantage of it and maybe split the coalition further. So, he starts to fire off some missiles,"
"The stated policy of my administration towards Saddam Hussein was very clear. Like the previous administration, we were for regime change,"
"Had Britain so insisted, Iraq after Saddam might have avoided the violence that may yet prove fatal to the entire enterprise."
"The invasion of Iran in 1980 was definitely one of the crimes committed by Saddam. We want the court to investigate the charges brought by Iranian people."

Aug. 13, 2014
Source: GrainCorp news release
GrainCorp today announced the appointment of Mark Palmquist as the company's Managing Director and CEO.
Mr Palmquist is currently the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Ag Business at CHS, a leading global agribusiness, diversified in energy, grains and food. He oversees all CHS's international grain-related business units and has held several leadership roles in the food and agricultural industries over a 35 year career spanning North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
Mr Palmquist is scheduled to commence at GrainCorp on 1 October 2014, and will be relocating from Minnesota, USA, following his departure from CHS on 31 August 2014.
GrainCorp Executive Chairman and interim CEO, Don Taylor said GrainCorp's Board was pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Palmquist following an extensive international search.
"GrainCorp's Board is delighted to have secured a candidate of such high calibre and international standing," Mr Taylor said.
"We are confident that Mark's skills and extensive experience will be invaluable to the ongoing growth of GrainCorp as a global agribusiness and food ingredients company. The company remains focused on building shareholder returns through the program of strategic initiatives we have been implementing since 2012.
"Mark brings a valuable combination of deep industry knowledge and global management experience to GrainCorp. We are all excited about working with him as he leads GrainCorp into its next phase of growth, enhances our customer offering and grows value for our investors."
Mr Palmquist said: "I have worked around the world and GrainCorp is by any measure an outstanding company. GrainCorp's board, management team and people have transformed the company into a leading agribusiness with a strong international reputation. It is a privilege to be joining the company at such an exciting time."
Mr Palmquist will be assisted in terms of handover by Mr Taylor from commencement, following which Mr Taylor will resume his role as non-executive Chairman.
GrainCorp's board expressed its appreciation to Mr Taylor for his strong commitment to the company during his period as interim CEO, noting in particular the substantial progress on the regeneration of the Storage & Logistics business, the optimisation of GrainCorp Oils' processing footprint and the growth of GrainCorp Liquid Terminals.

A genuinely overflow crowd showed up for the Roeland Park City Council meeting with dozens of people forced to listen to the proceedings from a room a floor below the second floor city council chambers. Once again, the proposed anti-discrimination ordinance that would add protection for sexual orientation and gender identity was the topic that drew the crowds and a large number of public speakers.
Also, much like the council meeting in May, councilors only discussed the ordinance behind closed doors as they retreated into an executive session, citing attorney-client privilege. Only eight members of the public waited out the return to public session.
Monday night had originally been scheduled for a vote on the ordinance, but that is now expected to come at the council meeting in June which will be moved to a larger site. New councilor Michael Rhoades was sworn into office Monday night. His vote on both the anti-discrimination ordinance and a KCP&L franchise fee exemption could be critical. A vote on a new council president also was deferred to allow Rhoades more time to acclimate to the process. Both Marek Gliniecki and Jennifer Gunby were nominated for the role by fellow councilors.
While some of Monday night's speakers were repeats from several other public comment opportunities and sometimes repeated their message, the council did hear from some new voices and most of Monday's speakers supported the ordinance. The council chambers held its maximum 50 people and speakers had to be called up from the first floor overflow room where another 30 people could listen to the proceedings.
Sandra Sanchez, the first to speak, did not take sides on the ordinance, but rather chastised councilor Gunby for her sometimes heated exchange at the last meeting with Dale Schowengerdt, an attorney representing the Alliance Defending Freedom. "If you can't refrain yourself from showing anger and outrage," Sanchez said, "(you) should consider stepping down." Sanchez said that regardless of whether she agreed with Schowengerdt's views, she would defend his right to speak.
Proponents of the ordinance compared it to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. One Roeland Park resident said. "I hope when the dust settles, I will be proud of living here." A couple of speakers talked about the religious freedom issue that has been raised. Judy Hyde said she is a practicing Catholic and supports the ordinance. Referencing Westboro Baptist Church and the recent Overland Park shootings, Matt Thomas said the ordinance can be a strong statement "that we are opposed to hate" in Kansas.
A woman from Kansas City told the council that her six-year-old daughter is transgender. "(We) need protections for people like my daughter," she said. Not everyone, though, favored the ordinance. One speaker called it "a monstrosity" and another said "the beliefs of most people of Roeland Park are under attack."
The council has now taken public comment on the ordinance at multiple sessions, including a community forum.

Full announcement from the city of Asheville:
Several public meetings will be held in March to present the details of a proposed business improvement district for downtown Asheville. Business improvement districts are special assessment districts set up to benefit residents and property and business owners in a downtown area.
"We're working very hard to reach as many property and business owners as possible," said Susan Griffin, Chair of the Downtown Management Committee. "It's important for folks to get educated about what these districts can do for a downtown area."
A business improvement district was recommended in the Downtown Master Plan. The Downtown Management Subcommittee has been working for the last two years to bring the proposal forward. An Interim Board of Directors was formed in early 2012, working on specific details of the district.

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
(Page 2 of 2)
The trust deed offerings were securities, but they weren't registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the California Department of Corporations, charged the suit.
A number of people who have not been paid have joined in the involuntary bankruptcy filing. When he lines up others he knows about, their losses may be above $2.5 million, says Shustak.
Galuppo, Holbrook's litigation attorney, says, "When his business fell apart, he asked me to intervene and help him to do workouts with existing lenders. His entire business operations have fallen apart. He is continuing to do real estate brokerage and short sales. He lost a few homes to foreclosure. Some homes he built — some subdivisions, other things — he couldn't keep up the payments on. He is having difficulties throughout the entire organization. Homes and developments got in trouble in this market." Galuppo says he doesn't know where all the money went, "but Shustak doesn't have enough information to make the statements he is making." There are other creditors, such as banks, Galuppo says.
So what does Shustak say? Holbrook "commingled all the money that came in from these other investments. At most, maybe 10 percent [of the money Holbrook took in] went where it was supposed to go."
As Holbrook himself says, the bankruptcy court will have to straighten all this out.
Trust Deeds are pure scams in San Diego, and anyone targeting the elderly should be prosecuted for elder financial abuse.
Don, was Gary Naiman the guy that ran Pioneer????? That was a petty big scam, and after the BK attorneys looted the remaining funds the investors only received like 7 cents on the dollar.
Response to post #1: Yes, Gary Naiman was the one who ran Pioneer. He spent his prison time at a Vegas air field in a trailer off base -- a la John Alessio many years before at a different location. Naiman is reportedly now in Orange County. And, yes, the Pioneer attorneys took a bundle on that one. I wrote a lot on that, both for the U-T and the Reader. Finally, the bk judge replaced them. Since the Naiman episode, there have been several other trust deed scams in San Diego. Best, Don Bauder
Don, many of the names in your article read like a 'Who's Who' of swindlers and San Diego is a world class city of swindlers and scam artists.
-Jim Fawcett
Response to post #3: Yes, as you say, "San Diego is a world class city of swindlers and scam artists," and all too many of them hold elective office, or work for somebody in high elective office. Best, Don Bauder
Holbrook is a putz. When i first moved to San Diego he showed my wife and i around and constantly left his keys in sellers homes, was late to appointments, misplaced his Real Estate access super key,...a total bumble****. Finally, we decided on a house after endless visits and late appointments. We get down to the negotiations and Holbrook leave town with an offer pending, telling no one, including us and his own staff. I fired him and bought the home by making my own offer and saving over $30k in fees. Thanks Dan!!
Response to post #5: You're very fortunate. You saved $30,000. Look at all the people who LOST much, much more than that. Best, Don Bauder
I'm surprised Holbrook didn't take off like Walter Wencke and Foto-Mat founder Clifford Graham. He's a fool for sticking around.
Response to post #7: Wencke and Graham: there were two characters in SD history. Wencke never showed up on the day he was to be sent to prison. Graham disappeared and nobody knows where he is. He had a gold scam, Au Magnetics, as well as Foto-Mat and others. Best, Don Bauder
Wencke, a democrat, was apparently at one time Sol Price's law partner. He ran against Bob Wilson as a democrat and was defeated for a seat in Congress. Wencke was born in 1926. He is either dead, or close to dead. I wonder what will happen to his embezzled millions when he dies. Will his children obtain access to the money? Will they control the money through an offshore entity? Many unanswered questions.
Response to post #9: I have followed that Wencke tale through the years, as both editor and writer, and never heard that he had been Sol Price's law partner. I remember that his wife, who was in the business with him, had to take her punishment, but he vanished. Through the years, people would report having seen him -- sometimes offshore -- but he was never identified and nabbed. I doubt if his children will have any legal call on his money. He may have set up something illegally, however. Best, Don Bauder
I never knew Sol Price was a lawyer!!
I think he may have claim to being the oldest, living, licensed lawyer in California.
Response to post #11: Oh yes -- a lawyer and entrepreneur. Best, Don Bauder
Sol and his shareholders got taken to the cleaners when that German investor bought Fed-Mart for next to nothing. Fed-Mart owned the large shopping center at Balboa and Genessee where Home Depot and Target is located, and the massive shopping center on Sports Arena Blvd., among other valuable properties that were underutilized. Sol was not aware that the land under Fed-Mart's stores alone was worth far more than what the German paid for Fed-Mart's stock. About a year after the German bought Fed-Mart, after he had run it into the ground, he shuttered the stores, subleased Fed-Mart's empty stores to Target, and crammed the shopping centers with more space for big box outfits like Home Depot. Sol got taken big time.
Hugo Mann was the German investor who bought Fed-Mart.
Sol Price was admitted to the Bar in 1938.
Sol has to be the oldest living lawyer in CA- I have never seen anyone who had a valid law license for 70 years.
Sol must be working out with fitness guru Jack LaLanne who turned 94 last month, and is in better condition than I am.
Response to post #14: Yes, Hugo Mann was the major German shareholder in Fed-Mart. He and Sol Price could not get along. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #13: The German Fed-Mart management was berated for mismanaging Fed-Mart. Sol Price once told me that the German fumbling would make a great case study for Harvard Business School. If, indeed, Hugo Mann did that well on the underlying real estate -- and I believe he did -- then both sides came out well. The Prices founded Price Company and the warehouse concept. However, Price management faltered, and when the company merged with Costco, the headquarters wound up in Washington State without the Prices in charge. But at least the family and some executives got very rich. I always thought the Germans bought out minority Fed-Mart shareholders at a low price. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #15: Sounds like a long time ago. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #16: Is Sol still practicing law? He has been involved in some civic projects in recent years. Best, Don Bauder
The funny thing about Costco is that it was a former Price Club employee that stated Costco with venture capital.
Then they did a better job of running their stores, using the Price Club concept.
Sol Price's law license is inactive, so he is not curently practicing (and why would he with his success), but I do find it amazing he has had a license that long (and that he is still alive at his age).
Response to post #21: Yes, Jim Sinegal, CEO of Costco, is one of the best around. He pays good wages and fringes. He himself takes a very low salary and doesn't get filthy rich on stock options. He did work for Sol Price at one time: I believe it was when Sinegal was in college and worked for Fed-Mart, but I would have to check that. He is a remarkable CEO and Costco's success proves it. Best, Don Bauder
Sol Price has retail in his blood... Jim Sinegal is also a very hard working and incredible retail brain... after studying under Price he teamed up with Jeff Brotman of Seattle to start the first Costco. Jeff Brotman is like a Seattle version of Sol Price. He also had retail stores and investments. They recruited a lot of the Price Club people in their early days and many of the Costco employees are old Price Club veterans.
Response to post #23: Sinegal is a great success story. The fact that he was paid a sane salary while succeeding brilliantly should make him a model for all industry. Unfortunately, it won't. Sinegal is probably a pariah among other CEOs for refusing to fleece shareholders. Best, Don Bauder
I worked for Dan Holbrook during the episode with the Chernofskys. Dan was an imaginative guy with really bad ADHD, had a new idea every day...never finished other ideas...no follow through.
I recall the day I was laid off. The sheriff was hours away from evicting Dan from his Carlsbad office and their was the mad scramble to get assets out of the office before the sheriff came.
Only thing inaccurate about the story, Dan didn't have a large paid staff. Most were real estate officers, brokers, agents etc..he only had about 5 full time paid employees.
Unfortunately for Dan, he failed to see or acknowledge the big picture, and refused to focus on tried and true methods in the industry...big money only come through hard work...seems Dan went from one big get rich quick idea to the next.
As for the investors who lost money, I can say that some of those assets were in my opinion to pay operating expenses, ie...even my salary.
I know Dan's life post the implosion of Atvantage hasn't been rosey with financial and persona family issues because of the financial issues. I am not going to defend Dan, it certainly sounds like from the article that he did some dishonest things, I can look back and see clearly that he must have.
I think deep down Dan is a great guy, that got really in over his head and made some terrible decisions, that hurt a lot of investors. I could be wrong...and he could be a total Bernie Madoff type that deserves to be tarred and feathered..but from working with him, I think he really believed he was able to live up to the promises he was making..he believe in himself.

There are a lot of great graphic editors out there and you would be amazed at how many of them are free. One of them is a little bit different than the 'norm', but don't take that as a bad thing. It has lots of cool functions and things to play with.
1Be sure that you have Chasys on your computer.
3Be sure that your colors and textures (if you want them) are already enabled before using the TextArt editor.
5Select a font. You have quite a few choices as to the types of fonts you can use and are probably only limited by your ability to download new fonts.
6In the actual textbox, put in the text that you want to work with. You will see the changes to your work as you make them.
8Consider using symbols or webdings in your art. Your symbols are very much font specific. If the font you are in doesn't have the symbol that you desire, check out another font. One that is all symbols is Webding and different versions of that name.
9Decide if you need to rotate your text. If you are going to put it on the side of a notebook or need it to be vertical, experiment with the rotation.
10Fit your TextArt selection to your text. Click on the Fit to Text button and have your selection fit your text.
11Make your text transparent. If you are using it as a type of background, you will want it pretty transparent. If you want to catch people's eye, you won't.
12Go back to your original graphic. Once you are done editing your text, just click onto the desktop. If you need to work on it again, go to Window >> TextArt Editor.

Oyo State Governor's Wife Arrest: The Bitter Truth
Oct 31st, 2012 – Oyo State Governor's Wife Arrested: Florence Ajimobi's Arrest, The Bitter Truth
Since the news of Florence Ajimobi, Oyo State Governor's wife arrest leaked yesterday through a reliable source in the UK, different news have started circulating. www.naijagists.com
Several Naija bloggers who didn't do their research well stated she was not arrested without facts.
To set the record straight, Mrs Florence Ajimobi, the wife of Governor Ajimobi was arrested in the UK few days ago after she was caught with foreign currencies (400,000 british pounds and an unspecified amount of US dollars), a money laundering case.
Unlike Nigeria, in developed countries, you're not allowed to carry such huge stash of money since you might be considered a subject of fraud.
Her arrest wasn't the type where you're handcuffed or whatever however, she was called for an investigation and detained.
The result of the investigation wasn't revealed to us and that is why she is still in the UK to clear her case.
We learnt she was detained briefly before her husband's brief visit to the UK to secure her release.
PMNews, the most reliable news source in Nigeria confirmed with London Met Police yesterday before publishing the news of her arrest and here is a report from them.
London Metropolitan Police has confirmed the arrest of Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, wife of Oyo state Governor, over money laundering.
The Met confirmation came this afternoon following an enquiry by P.M.NEWS on the story making the rounds that Mrs. Ajimobi was arrested in London, with the sum of 400,000 pounds and thousands of US dollars, valued at N500million.
The Met simply said 'Yes' to our question, seeking confirmation about the arrest.
However, the organization declined to give further information about the matter, citing a UK law.
"I am sorry, we are unable to disclose any information to you under the Data Protection Act," an officer in the MET Lambeth Office responded.
Few hours after the news leaked, Governor Ajimobi sued PM news and another news organization for leaking his wife secret.
That's no news as this is not the first time these organizations are being sued for leaking out corrupt Nigerian politicians secrets.
Let's get our facts right guys even if a thief is caught red-handed, he or she will deny being a thief.
Nigerian politicians irregardless of their Political party affiliations are corrupt bunch of thieves.
Former Nigerian Governors including James Ibori of Delta State, Bayelsa governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha and several others who were arrested in the UK for corruption and money laundering indicate clearly that corruption is an epidemic in Nigeria today.
May God deliver us from the hands of these taskmasters who instead of using Nigeria's wealth to enrich her citizens took it upon themselves to embezzle it by enriching themselves.
Naija politicians! God is watching you. (Article by Kolawole Bodunwa, London)

Party Recap
This year for Halloween we really wanted to a Masquerade Ball. We didn't have renting a ballroom in the budget so instead we decorated the apartment out to be as close to a bewitching ball room as we could get!
We rented a fog machine to really get the mood going and covered the ceiling in black gossamer. A friend created a paper chandelier for us that really became a fantastic centerpiece.
We created two signature cocktails, "My kind of Magic" and "Satan's Soda". The food was all kinds of appetizers that were inspired from the web. We noshed on kidneys stones, bat wings and more.
I also added in a candy buffet so guests could bring home traditional treats.

Yuummmm. Better than I remember! This one's quite strongly orange-citrus, which fades into a sort of citrusy caramel at the end of the sip. I really quite like it. I know I initially thought it was rather like Glitter & Gold, but I'm quite wrong. It's not really all that cinnamony, and far more citrusy. And caramelly. Tasty! I'm glad I requested this one as a sample from DT in one of my orders…. but I wish I had a bit more! I think it might still be on the wall in my hometown, so when I go back for Christmas, perhaps I can pick a bit more up.
Also, this one has withstood the thermos treatment all afternoon – important to note, as I don't find all teas do!
ETA: Second cup a little oversteeped (oops), but still pretty good! Lightly orangey, spicy, and caramelly. With some bitterness. I ate the lone mulberry, so I think that's it for this one.

Ranchester's town council gave first-reading approval to annexation of the water tank and town lagoon sites during the regular council meeting Tuesday night. Two more readings are required before the annexation becomes official.
In other action, the council tabled until the April meeting a proposed annexation of a portion of U.S. Highway 14 through town.
City fathers took under advisement a request by Chris Powers for permission to buy water from the town. Powers told the council he is currently purchasing water in Sheridan to haul to his place near Ranchester. Council members agreed they would like to provide water to him, but the matter needs additional study.

If you build it, will they come?
March 18, 2002,
With April market just under four weeks away, most suppliers are hoping fervently that this market will boost the nascent upturn in business for the industry that now seems under way.
Walking the half-empty corridors of the industry's major showroom buildings last October, it wasn't unusual to hear suppliers fretting that buyers might not ever return. If they can carry on their business without one market, the thinking went, might they not decide they can carry on without any markets?
Just as many suppliers, of course, expressed a contrary view. In their judgement, it was easy for buyers to stay away during what had become a turgid year for retail, and the fact that buyers had been forced to sit out an inning would ensure that they came roaring back even stronger in the spring.
We shall soon see to what degree either of those theories is borne out. But if one glances back just six weeks, one could be tempted to offer a third conclusion: that it is the timing of the markets that is out of whack, not the idea of markets themselves.
To the extent that the February market serves as a barometer, it reinforces this view. Many of the suppliers whose showrooms should have been bustling with activity were instead twiddling their thumbs. The majority of their orders had been locked in already, and once they'd touched base with their regular customers there was little left to occupy the time.
Simultaneously, many suppliers for whom mini-market would traditionally be a minor event — e.g., Croscill, Divatex, WestPoint Stevens, Springs et al. — did a remarkably steady business as buyers used the occasion to get a jump on their Back-to-School and fall programs.
Nobody is arguing that what occurs on Fifth and Sixth Avenues in February serves as a precise gauge of what will take place there in April. Certainly, the fact that fewer retail companies exist today contributes to the declining buyer population.
But other factors resonate just as profoundly. The increasing amount of offshore production being done by suppliers requires far longer lead times than the current April/October schedule can comfortably accommodate. Add to that the burgeoning number of retailer-exclusive programs, with their own peculiarities of schedule and development lead times.
In truth, there are still two heavy product previewing periods in the industry — early winter and late summer. They simply no longer coincide with market dates.
Perhaps it's time for those who have an interest in preserving the validity of market weeks and the beneficial spin-offs that come with them — the supplier heavyweights, the retailer heavyweights, HFPA and GLM — to band together and reconsider the timing of the spring and fall events. It would go a long way toward enhancing the value of market week for all concerned.

I agree with the rating, I don't agree with the review.
what the hell is a non-singer
Troll review.
Digging: Polaris (AUS) - The Mortal Coil
Worst review I've ever read.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offreview aint too bad but what the hell is a non-singer[2]
amazing review man, keep it up
Album Rating: 1.0A Real Singer is Someone like: Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Geoff Tate
A Non Singer (Someone who cant sing - may be enjoyable or not) is:
UDO - Former Accept Non-singer and now fronting his own solo career -
UDO is an amazing non-singer
Lemmy - From Motorhead - Another Great Non-singer
Cronos from Venom - Great
Brian Johnson - ACDC - Love him on Back in Black and For Those about To Rock
but than his terrible voice became apparent - But he is still good at his craft
James Hetfield - He is not a great singer but those first 5 Metallica Albums he sounds real good - its only lately that his worst vocal isms are apparent
He went from a Good Non-singer to a pretty bad non singer - Last Example
Dave Mustaine: Right off the starting gate he was a terrible Non-Singer -
a person who should have never stepped up to the mic - The Guy is a genius Guitar Player and Riff Writer but he is the poster boy for a bad Non-singer
On the Last Three albums he has actually found a way to vocalize which hides the worst aspects of his non-singing voice - unfortunately Megedeth is now trying to be like they were in the earlier days and it sounds forced - it sounds like Generic Megedeth - But the Last three are much better than anything he has done since Countdown, which I consider the last good - "Classic" - Megedeth Album. On Countdown they toned down the Riffery apparent on RIP and went in a more commercial direction but it was still good. But Whatever period of Deth is always plagued by Daves Terrible Non-singer Vokills - Sometimes its not bothersome, most times it is, especially live. Its a shame that he did not either get a Good singer or good Non-singer as he clearly is one of the best riff writers and always has a top notch band - But the Vokills always suck, especially live - So essentially Megedeth are a great Instrumental Band. Its apparent to the entire world that I what I say is true but most people are in denial of this.
One other thing about Vocalists: All Vocalists will decline with age, its just a part of life - For Instance Both Bruce and Halford have declined greatly - Bruce sill sounds great in a Live situation but Halford is really struggling - of course Halford is older than Bruce and 5 to 8 years can make a giant difference -
But for Non-Singers the affect due to age is even worse
Album Rating: 2.0Bad album
Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Zac Efron shirtless
One of the most requested gay amateur sites online today
is a site called Sean Cody. If you like to see amateur guys
most of them being joe average then you will find this site
delightful. Most of these guys have never gotten off on a
camera or been on a porn site before so thats whats makes
this fun for the viewer to see how they react to people watching
them get off for the first time.
If you have not been to Sean Cody online then what are you
waiting for? Everyone else has that wants to see amateur boys
do it for the first time. I do like how they show the models
being interviewed before they jack off on cam but sometimes
its a little too much for the camera man to always be talking
- the last thing I wanna hear is some happy mans voice in
the background when I am trying to focus on some hot boys
going at it. One disadvantage to Sean Cody online is that
you cannot view the video after you are not a paying member
(even if you download it).
I recommend Sean Cody for the trial period at least then
may more after that but dont forget to cancel your card before
the recurring billing takes over. Also make sure you check
out the Mardi Gras Boys Gone Wild type scenes.

The attorney shares responsibility with the plaintiff for items related to Medicare's claim as well as to protect Medicare's "future interest". Ramifications of non-compliance can be severe.

Go Daddy Releases First Super Bowl Ad
View this video on YouTube
Well, it is the best Go Daddy commercial yet, if only because it actually gives you a real, tangible reason to use their domain registering service.
The spot is specifically pushing .co domains. It will run during the fourth quarter of the game, a week from Sunday.
Unfortunately, the ad ends on a stupid note, as the "hero" who first registered the winning idea utters a non-joke, "More of everything, sky waitress!" Everybody then laughs, for some reason. My guess: They're laughing at their many critics who have called their previous commercials sexist, boring shit.
That's Danica Patrick making a cameo as the pilot.
She and model Bar Refaeli will star in a second Super Bowl spot that may or may not be released ahead of time.

Staging Identity: Performance and Irony in Contemporary Middle Eastern Photography
The photograph has a long tradition of fashioning identity and shaping one's self-presentation to the world. In Staging Identity, Galerie Kashya Hildebrand focuses on artists from the Middle East who use photography's performative aspects and ironic potential for the creation of identity in order to consider how each artist consciously utilizes them to stage a particular experience. The historical legacy of culture, society, and politics plays a role in the work of these artists – both those who live in the Middle East and those in the Diaspora. However, in this exhibition, we do not examine the general effects of these legacies on the artists' work. Instead, we explore how the theatricality of the photographs creates a space where artifice is laid bare and directly confronts viewers and their expectations. The result is innovative, daring statements about authenticity and about the tensions between individual selves and their cultural context. The artists' struggle to assert their individualism allows for the production of works that give us insights into the artists' intimate worlds.
By concentrating on the staging of identity, the intention of this exhibition is to present a more nuanced and layered understanding of the forces bearing on the artists' relationship to the Middle East. The staged, ironic, and performative aspects, which link all these works together, are compelling because of the way they enable a construction of realities that offers a safe way to critique regimes and discourses without making overt political statements. These constructions act as a neutral place to challenge stereotypes, defer truth, and imagine other realities. The theatrical artifice helps form interventions of the imagination as an effective 'under-the-radar' approach to deal with social critiques of the state.

Greek debt totals 120 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), twice the U.S. figure. But debt alone tells us little about a country's fiscal condition. Economists call this the labeling problem because governments can describe receipts and payments in any way they like. Payroll taxes to fund pensions and health care can, for instance, be labeled as borrowing, with the future benefits called repayment less a future tax. Measured thus, the U.S. budget deficit is 15 percent of GDP, not 9 percent, says Laurence Kotlikoff, professor of economics at Boston University.
The Greek fiscal gap is staggering, says Kotlikoff:
- Calculations developed with his colleagues at Freiberg University put it at 11.5 percent of the value of Greece's future GDP; and this huge figure already incorporates Greece's recently legislated fiscal policy retrenchment.
- But the U.S. figure, based on the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) just-released projections, is even larger -- 12.2 percent.
Clearly, Greece is in terrible fiscal shape, says Kotlikoff:
- To get its books in order it would have to pull in its belt each year by another 11.5 percent of GDP.
- But the United States is in much worse shape, because the CBO's projections that reveal the 12.2 percent fiscal gap already assume a 7.2 percent of GDP belt-tightening by 2020.
But the assumptions underlying this 7.2 percent adjustment are highly speculative, including a substantial rise in the share of taxpayers facing the alternative minimum tax, once called the "millionaires tax" for targeting only the rich. The CBO also assumes that real wage growth will push all workers into much higher tax brackets, and that Congress will slash discretionary spending as well as greatly limit growth in Medicare and Medicaid benefits. Each supposition runs counter to recent experience, says Kotlikoff.
Wishing won't fix America's fiscal mess. The United States is one foot away from a deep and permanent economic grave. It is far past time to do meaningful long-term fiscal planning, level with the public and implement radical reforms that permanently put America's fiscal house in order, says Kotlikoff.
