About New York
New York (IPA: //) is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States of America. With 62 counties, it is the country's third most populous state. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania, and shares an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Its five largest cities are New York City (also the largest city in the United States), Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse.
New York City is known for its history as a gateway for immigration to the United States and its status as a transportation and manufacturing center.
New York was inhabited by Algonquian, Iroquois, and Lenape indigenous people at the time Dutch and French nationals moved into the region in the very early 17th century. First claimed by Henry Hudson in 1609, the region came to have Dutch forts in Fort Orange, present day Albany, NY, in 1614 and was colonized by the Dutch in 1624, at both Albany and Manhattan; it later fell to British annexation in 1664. About one third of all of the battles of the Revolutionary War took place in New York. The state ratified the United States Constitution in 1788, the 11th state to do so; its own constitution was enacted in 1777."

Shields, N. D" July 2—Is the green
worm which is destroying the Rus

factor or a menace? That's the ques
tion that is being discussed in this
locality. On the Afolden farm near
here, which was infested with Rus
sian thistles the worms were first
seen. They are about an inch and,a
half in length and about the size of
a wheat slraw.
Their favorite diet is Russian this
itle and they are completely destroy-
The professor announces that the
worm is related to the army worm.
It first, attacks Russian thistle, then
lamb's quarters, then ray weed, and
will also eat buckbrush, flax and
wheat. While it prefers thistles to
anything else it will not. go to 3leep
hungry even if it has to eat wheat.
The state entomologist does not
fear the worm will become a pest as
it can easily be destroyed by spray
ing, and while it confines itself ex
clusively to Russian thistle it is cer
tainly helpful to the farmers in the
eradication of that pest.

manger wall to drop gutter. The man
ger is 2 feet 6 inches wide at the top
and 2 feet at the bottom, with one
tace sloping up to the feed-alley lioo'r.
The depth is 7 Inches, measured from
the stanchion setting, and 8 inches
from the alley floor. The food al
lo£. is 4 feet 6 inches wide. The
.irop-gutter has a width of 18 inches.
It is 8 inches deep ganged from the
stall floor, Which is 2 inches higher
than the 8-foot driveway. For es
tablishing grade lines a carpenter's
spirit level (or a water level) and a
chalk line are very helpful.
To prevent possibility of the floor
settling, remove aM manure before
grading the surface of. the earthen
floor. Carefully tamp back the dirt
around water pipes and the drains
which carry waste water and liquid
manure to the water-tight concrete
manure pit. Do all filling for the
stall floors proper, place a 6-incli
thickness of coarse broken stone or
screened gravel to keep the floor from
direct, contact with the ground. Since
the stall floors are of prime import

Shane Carwin Caught in Federal Steroids Investigation
Federal Prosecutor Links Shane Carwin to Steroids Conspiracy Case
Say Something »
8/14/2010 1:25 PM ET By Mike Chiappetta
Mike Chiappetta
MMA Writer
Top-five ranked UFC heavyweight Shane Carwin has been named as one of 22 professional athletes who obtained steroids from an online pharmacy based in Mobile, Alabama, according to the Alabama news site, Al.com
Carwin was named as a past customer of Applied Pharmacy Services (APS) after a federal judge handed one of its pharmacists, J. Michael Bennett, a four-year prison term for selling anabolic steroids produced in Mobile.
Carwin had no comment, but plans to make a statement at a later date, his manager Jason Genet said when reached by MMA Fighting.
The government's case against the pharmacy, which earned convictions against five men, charged that APS shipped over 750,000 dosages of steroids to 17 different "rogue" doctors and clinics over a two-year span from Aug. 2004 to Aug. 2006. Prosecutors reportedly referred to the defendants as "drug dealers in lab coats."
Carwin was named as one of the recipients by Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Dobbins. The 35-year-old Carwin made his mixed martial arts debut in Oct. 2005 but did not join the UFC until May 2008.
After starting his pro career with 12 straight wins, Carwin rapidly ascended the ranks of the UFC's heavyweight division, capturing the interim title in March 2010 and earning a championship match against Brock Lesnar.
Just last month, Carwin nearly won the belt, overwhelming Lesnar in the first round before falling to a second-round arm triangle submission.
Carwin has never failed a drug test in his professional fighting career.
According to AL.com, the other pro athletes referenced in court documents include baseball players, bodybuilders and pro wrestlers, most notably former WWE champion Kurt Angle. The report does not detail whether prosecutors plan to pursue legal action against any of them.
According to previous reports, a key witness in the case was a Greeley, Colorado doctor named Kenneth Olds, who admitted writing fraudulent prescriptions as part of the APS conspiracy. He eventually became a prosecution witness and received a sentence of probation. Another Greeley doctor, Dr. Kelly Wade Tucker, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for his role in the case, while a third, Dr. Scott Corliss, also pled guilty to taking part in the ring. Carwin is a resident of Greeley, though no reporting or evidence mentioned in news accounts connects him to the men.
APS was also one of the pharmacies named in The Mitchell Report, an investigation of rampant steroid use in Major League Baseball. Among the players linked to the pharmacy in the report were Jose Canseco, John Rocker, Garry Matthews Jr., and Jerry Hairston, Jr

More seriously, we have no family within 2000 miles, but my parents-in-law will come before the birth and look after Antoine (who will be 21 months old).

If for some reason I stay longer, I'd consider asking the in-laws to bring him for a very short visit, but honestly I'll be recovering myself, the new baby will be recovering, and it's probably just best to wait till home.

International Standards of Corporate Social Responsibility
The article deals with internationally acknowledged standards and norms in the sphere of corporate social responsibility. It introduces the concept of social responsibility, the so-called triple-bottom line, in terms of which the company focuses not only on the economic growth but it also takes into account environmental and social aspects of its business activities. The article presents five norms and standards which stem from the triplebottom line concept. The norms and standards are in the article briefly characterised, which is followed by their comparison based on four previously stated criteria.

The Sculptural Stool -- Clear Design, Reduced to a Minimum.
Three identical parts made of shaped plywood combine with an elegant sweep to form a seating surface. This is hoc, the modern interpretation of the archetypal stool. Purity reduced to an absolute minimum. Rather a sculpture than a piece of seating furniture. Its form, open to all sides, allows for flexible seating that strengthens one's back and encourages for relaxed communication. With its high-quality manufacture and finish, hoc fits into every modern environment. The stool is available in two heights: as a barstool equipped with a circular foot rest, and in a shorter version – which even is stackable. Tables matching the stools, barstools and benches are available in two different heights. They are manufactured from shaped plywood parts, stabilized by a diagonal metal brace in an elegant chromed finish. hoc is made of threedimensional shaped laminated wood. The face veneer can be beech, oak or white HPL. In this way, islands of communication can be created that are beautiful to look at while being reduced to the essentials, inviting relaxed conversation. The series is complemented by matching benches that take up the purist design of the hoc series, creating an overall impression that's all of a piece.

This post is getting back to square one – talking about the very basic and essential makeup brushes that everyone needs in their makeup kit. I have been blogging for years, and I hardly get a chance to share my thoughts on the essential products, and introducing them to girls who just started their venture into the fancy makeup world which can get confusing. I am a makeup brushes collector who started collecting brushes from the mainstream brands, and later advanced into more premium brands. Not everyone is willing to buy brushes from the very exclusive brands such as Suqqu and Chikuhodo, and this post is inspired by my most frequently asked question from my girlfriends "What MAC brushes should I invest in".
Why starting with MAC..? Perhaps it's to do with their successful brand image and a lot of their products truly stand the test of time. I have had some MAC brushes for more than 10 years and they are still in good condition. Though I am having a lot more options these days , the MAC brushes in this post are still the most used and practical, and I highly recommend them in a heartbeat to everyone.
Starting with Eye makeup brushes. MAC offers an abundance of options for eye makeup brushes – some are nice to have, and some are absolute essentials in my opinion. I have lots of them, and the must-haves for me are:
1. MAC 217 Blending brush – If you can only have one blending brush, make it this one! I have 3 of them – one for blending powder eye shadows, one for applying cream eye shadows, and one as a stand-by! Perfect size for blending color across the eye lid, and it's soft but not super soft so it picks up pigments easily and does a good job for blending with some degree of resistance.
2. MAC 224 Blending Tapered brush – Bigger, less dense and more fluffy than 217. This brush picks up less pigments, and it is great for applying a sheer wash of color. I mainly use it for applying shading color to the eye socket area all the way to the upper nose bridge for contouring. Very easy to use and it's fool proof!
3. MAC 226 Small Tapered Blending brush: The 3rd blending brush you need is the MAC 226. It's slightly slimmer, smaller, more dense than 217, and it has a more tapered pointy end which gives you better precision control. Great for blending the colors in the crease area.
4. MAC 219 Pencil brush: Pencil brush is for drawing lines then smudging it for a softer blended finish. This is a firm and dense brush so it picks up lots of pigments, and the pencil shaped tip allows precise application around the eye corners and along lash lines. Absolutely must have if you like to smudge a soft wash of color along the lower lash line.
5. MAC 227 Large Fluff brush: Last but not least for blending, the MAC 227 is magical! It's a big, fat and round-shaped brush that is the best brush for softening any harsh lines. All you need is to dab a beige color and blend it under the brows for a cleaner eye makeup look.
6. MAC 239 Eye Shader brush: Having a couple of shader brushes is also essential, and you can't miss MAC 239. Perfectly designed for laying down the shadows on the lid and prevents fall out to build a more intense finish.
7. MAC 242 Shade brush: Designed for laying cream based color. It's made of synthetic fiber, quite soft and very flat, and I like to use it for packing on the colors on to the eye lids, or drawing lines using the tips. It can also be doubled as a concealer brush over smaller areas. MAC also have the bigger sister version 252 which is more ideal for applying concealers than eye shadows.
Face Brushes – I have less recommendations for the MAC face brushes than their eyes. Simply because I think there are much better options from other brands for face brushes, so I have only picked a few that I absolutely love.
MAC 168 Large Angled Contour brush: If I could only have one MAC face brush, it would be the 168! I have had this one for more than 10 years and it is being used on a very frequent basis, and the condition is still excellent! It's very soft, doesn't shed, and it's a versatile brush as it can be used for applying blushes, as well as for buffing highlighting/shading colors for contouring purposes with the slanted angle design.
MAC 129 Powder and Blush brush: A good and basic design for a dome shaped blush brush. It has the right size and shape for multiple ways of application for the cheeks, as you can use it in a swiping motion, or pat it and swirl it for a wash of color effect. The full rounded shape gives an even and smooth finish. Not the softest brush, but it means it will pick up the pigments from even the most sheer blushes.
MAC 130 Short Duo Fiber brush: Stippling brushes are great for buffing face colors into the skin in a natural effect, and it works well with both powder and cream products. I love the size of 130 and the flat-top design, as it is perfect for blending concealers for under the eyes areas, or applying highlighters over the T-zone, and applying cream blushes over the cheeks!
MAC 159 DuoFiber brush: Another super versatile brush. The paddled-shaped brush is great for applying foundations and concealers for a natural finish. Also works well for applying a sheer wash of powder and cream blushes. Overall you can pretty much do your whole face with this brush! Experience slight shedding during the first few washes.
In Australia, the MAC Brushes are available here online.

Everyone should know how to care for their eyes. Your eyes help you see and make sense of the world around you. To learn more about proper eye care, keep reading. Keep reading this piece to gain some basic knowledge about eye care.
To keep eyes protected, wear sunglasses. Buy a good pair with strong protection from UV rays, and keep them with you. The sun can injure your eyes and the delicate skin which surrounds them. Avoid tempting fate with bad practices.
One easy way to protect the eyes is by wearing sunglasses. UV rays can cause eye and skin damage, even on cloudy days. Buy sunglasses that have UV protection. The price tag is often higher, but your eyes should take priority.
Check your eyes often at a professional's office. You should obviously get them checked at the first sign of trouble, but some conditions won't be evident. That's why a consistent schedule of eye check-ups is a good idea. Many eye problems are treatable when early detection is feasible.
If you blink often, your eyes may have a problem. If your eyes are not dry, the possibility exists that you may have a tic due to stress. Allow yourself time to relax. If a tic can be ruled out, talk to an ophthalmologist.
Wear a quality pair of sunglasses and help your eyes. These can keep the eyes safe from dangerous UV rays. Pick up a pair of sunglasses that offer at least 99 percent protection from UVA and UVB rays. If you drive a lot, get polarized lenses. They also help you reduce glare. Lastly, even if you are a contact lens wearer who gets some protection from your lenses, wearing sunglasses is still a good idea.
Heating and air conditioning systems can affect your eyes. Many times an HVAC system can cause dry eyes. If the heater is bothering you, try keeping a humidifier on so that the air stays moist. Moisture helps keep your eyes from becoming dry and irritated.
If you use your computer a lot, know that your eyes may be suffering. If your eyes become dry, blink more frequently. You should also focus on cutting glare on display screens. An anti-glare screen will help you with this. Lastly, position your computer so that your eyes are level with the very top of your monitor. You should look down on the screen.
Saline Solution
It's a good idea to have plenty of saline solution on hand. Protecting your eyes on the job is easy because you can just wear goggles. Many people do not wear them when they clean their homes. If something gets in your eye, like soap, make sure to wash it out with a saline solution.
As you begin to age, your eyes will become dryer. Adding omega-3 to your diet can really help. Cold or hot air can make dry eyes worse. Make sure you don't have air blowing in your eyes, causing dryness.
Quit smoking to help better your eye's long-term health. You can lower your risk considerably for having any nerve damage issues or for suffering from macular degeneration. If you have unsuccessfully attempted to quit before, try again. You can succeed, no matter how many times you've failed!
You must know how to approach eye care so that you can maintain adequate eyesight. Reading this article should have taught you something. Now is a great time to wisely use this information. After this, you can share this valuable information with those you love.

The public toilets in Finsbury Park are set to be repainted and repaired following recent bouts of vandalism.
The toilets will also undergo increased cleaning over the summer period.
Lewis Taylor, parks operations manager at Haringey Council, responded to a letter sent by Cllr Karen Alexander setting out complaints by Finsbury Park residents.
He said: "It is of course unfortunate when some small sections of the community can affect the enjoyment of genuine park users, however, we are confident that these occurrences are isolated to the greater degree and we are constantly working with the police and various support agencies to tackle these issues."

Flutters about.

Bloodsail Admiral am I, and adventured across open sea and land along side my trusty parrot have I. But alas my hat he is much too fond of and of it no longer am I. The smell of my adventuring and of things worse hangs heavy about it. So I tasked myself to find another such companion to accompany me while I in my cleaner wear, even if be he only poor. I found such a rare friend, and his rare cockroach friend, and as thanks for his friendhship I have sacrificed his friend.
The Dark Red and Black skin is the same as the parrrot summoned by the Bloodsail Admiral's Hat. If you can find one in that skin you can have the parrot with or without the hat.
If WCP's data are correct, then the three colours that this pet comes in are currently all unique to it: White/Yellow, Brown and Dark Red/Black.
So if you want a parrot in every colour, then you really need to use your three slots to capture one of each of these.
I finally got a Rare Parrot just after I was beginning to believe they didn't really exist! I've been hunting this one for many weeks in the Swamp, Un'Goro, and Stranglethorn but found it in Swamp of Sorrows directly across from Stonard near the mountains (the Shifting Mire where the Lost Ones are). Coordinates were 46.72, 33.99 and it was the primary pet.
I did find a few of these in Stranglethorn, but they're much more common in the Un'Goro Crater zone. They seem to be in most parts of the zone.
These can be found as the primary battle pet, not just secondary.
Also find mine as the second critter in a battle in Northern Stranglethorn.
I found mine as an add-on in a battle in Northern Stranglehorn
Zenhunter does not seem to be wrong with regards to finding this pet in Stranglethorn. I did not find one in North Stranglethorn but I found two in The Cape of Stranglethorn, both as another pet that had joined the battle.
I found him after engaging a Shore Crab in the Northern Stranglethorn, had to choose between an uncommon Shore Crab and a Parrot which I did not own at all. I chose the Parrot.
It's a very nice bird, but why doesn't it actually look like a parrot? Or macaw, cockatiel, etc. Downrated appearance for that aspect.
Was going through Swamp of Sorrows to level up, fought a Moccosin and there were 2 Parrots in the battle with it. One uncommon and one rare, glad I got lucky enough to grab the rare one
I killed crabs along the entire coastline of Stranglethorn (Northern and Cape, including rivers) and came across a single uncommon parrot. It took over 50 battles.
Caught mine in a fight while looking for a rare Strand Crab in Stranglethorn. Tamed an uncommon because i didn't have one yet, and haven't looked back since! By far the best pet i have for fighting snakes, and regluarly masters snakes several levels higher.
Mine summons in mostly white (the color when captured),some browns and a yellow. Just now, he came to a battle dressed in the Blue/red. Yeay! I'm wondering if the frequency of skin color is tied randomly to the pet, the region caught, or just a set factor.
You're wrong Zenhunter. Found one flying around near the entrance of Swamp of Sorrows.
Couldnt seem to find this one, all I found in those areas were polly's

In an effort to appeal to a generation hooked on extreme sports, automakers are using outlandish stunts to draw attention to their vehicles. In this Video Find, French rally driver and professional skier Guerlain Chicherit attempts an unassisted backflip in a rally-modified Mini Countryman S All4 John Cooper Works.Chicherit speeds through a dock dodging shipping containers and forklifts toward the ramp. While the video shows the Countryman JCW launch toward the sky and begin to rotate in the air, the video is cut short before we find out whether the Mini crossover and rally driver make it safely back to terra firma. A second video is expected to be released to show the Countryman JCW's landing.The Countryman JCW Chicherit uses in the video may have similar modifications as the four Countryman JCWs prepared for the Monster Energy X-raid Team for the 35th Rally Dakar, which begins January 5 in Lima, Peru. Chicherit participated in the 2009 and 2010 Dakar rally and is currently preparing for this year's 14-day rally.The rally-prepped Countryman JCWs on the Monster Energy X-raid Team are powered by a BMW-sourced twin-turbo 3.0-liter diesel engine that produces about 300 hp at 3250 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 2100 rpm, giving the 4200-pound crossovers a top speed of about 110 mph.Mini isn't the first automaker to use and extreme stunt to market their vehicle.

NEW YORK Two weeks ahead of New York Fashion Week's showings, American Eagle Outfitters gathered local fashion editors for a preview of its summer 2011 collection. The breakfast presentation on January 26, which didn't seem to suffer a shortage of guests despite the day's snowstorm, showcased more than 100 items from its American Eagle, Aerie, 77kids, and little77 collections in the showroom space above its 34th Street store. To help style the space, the retailer tapped freelance design consultant Scott de la Cruz of DLC Creative, who used driftwood, blown glass, surfboards, and draped fabric to fashion a suitably tropical setting for the event.
Separated by brand, the clothing was arranged into a series of vignettes; a painted wooden signpost helped attendees navigate the space. Soft hues and black-and-white posters established a more feminine setting for Aerie, American Eagle's collection of intimates, while bright colored rugs, leafy plants, and patterned beach loungers produced a vibrant look to match the wares of its namesake brand. Most noticeable was the build-out for 77kids, the year-old line of garments for children, which constituted a free-standing cabanalike structure, complete with a thatched roof, bamboo details, and surfboards.
To complement the decor, the menu of bite-size nibbles from Callahan Catering included tropical flavors, such as coconut smoothies and mini mango lollipops.

From a musical perspective, Vienna, Austria, remains best known as the birthplace of the waltz, a dance that is as beloved today as it was during the nineteenth century, when Viennese composer Johann Strauss Jr. was first recognized as "the waltz king." But for aficionados of the international club scene, the city's proudest contributions come by way of more contemporary royalty: Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister, a pair of down-tempo mixologists whose potent amalgamation of dub, bossa nova, ambient and old-school rock is among the most intriguing aspects of Nineties electronica.
Like Air, a Seventies-influenced Parisian duo, Kruder & Dorfmeister seamlessly mingle retro vibes with the latest sounds emanating from the electronic nether regions. According to Dorfmeister, speaking from his Vienna base of operations, this collision of genres is a key element in The K&D Sessions, the cohorts' excellent new disc, and the remix work they do for popular acts such as Depeche Mode and Madonna. "We listen to quite a lot of different music," he says in a suave, lightly accented voice. "Of course, we have old funk and soul records; those are styles of music we really like, because it's such brilliant stuff. And we also love hip-hop." He adds, "I don't think you can put it down to one specific style, because we like it all. We take the best out of everything and give it our own signature."
Pigeonholing their approach isn't easy, Dorfmeister notes. "When we think about our tracks sometimes, it's hard for us to find the right words to describe our sound to a record company, for example," he admits. "All of our music has a very dubby feel, but it's not really dub. So what do you call it? Is it Latin?"
Hardly--but neither is it particularly Austrian: There's precious little correlation between the mannered classicism associated with Strauss and his successors and the wild experimentation that makes Sessions so thrilling. "There has always been an interesting cultural scene in every century of Vienna's history, but it hasn't really been an influence on our work," Dorfmeister says. "It's nice to live in Vienna and have that atmosphere around you, to be inspired by the city--but it is not reflected in our work."
Indeed, Kruder & Dorfmeister seemingly have had a greater impact on Vienna than their hometown has had on them. Their renown has helped incite others to follow in their footsteps, and Dorfmeister talks fondly about the music that has resulted: "Vienna has a very interesting and healthy scene, with a lot of different artists, and we have a lot of colleagues we greatly respect, like Rainer Truby and the boys behind the Mego label and the Uptight label." This admiration is returned in spades, even by representatives of the Austrian government. Last October, when world delegates gathered to celebrate the establishment of Vienna as the seat of the European Union for 1999, Kruder & Dorfmeister were near the top of the bill during the attendant festivities.
Obviously, the two have come a long way since 1993, when their partnership was established. Back then, Kruder was involved in a project called Moreaus, while Dorfmeister was part of Sin, an act that still holds a warm place in his heart; a Sin track, "Where Shall I Turn," appears on The K&D Sessions. But these allegiances changed after a chance meeting at a Vienna record store. Following a conversation about Antonio Carlos Jobim, Dorfmeister says, "we went to a club and soon realized we really liked the same music. So we hooked up and started doing music together in the studio."
Shortly thereafter, the new pals completed G-Stoned, a sensational EP on Quango, a subsidiary of Island, that remains their only studio recording to date. The four songs on the disc sport fleshy bass lines, jazzy smarts and flute-tastic grooves that nod to the Sixties, a decade that's also recalled by the CD's wonderful black-and-white cover art, which parodies a shot on an early Simon and Garfunkel long-player. The image isn't meant as a tribute to Paul and Art, Dorfmeister says. "We like a few of their tracks, but I wouldn't say we were fans. But we really liked the idea. It came from the photograph that we worked with. It just seemed to look like their cover."
G-Stoned was instantly embraced by clubbers, paving the way for a 1996 entry in the long-running DJ Kicks series issued by the Studio K7 imprint. This remix compilation--a precursor to The K&D Sessions --was a bona fide smash, selling over 100,000 copies worldwide at a time when few acts that existed outside the dance mainstream were moving anything close to that number of units. So why did it do so well? Part of the answer lies in Kruder & Dorfmeister's burgeoning reputation for transforming the songs of other performers into unique and passionate opuses. A case in point is "Bug Powder Dust," a nod to William Burroughs that first appeared on the 1994 Bomb the Bass EP Sandcastles. The cut, which layers vocalist Justin Warfield's flawless rapping over a warm, soupy bed of vibes, so impressed Bomb the Bass founder Tim Simenon that he immediately signed the two to remix "Useless," Depeche Mode's then-current salvo. His instincts proved to be excellent: Their work effortlessly surpassed the flawed electro-pop of the Depeche Mode blueprint.
A feeding frenzy ensued in the wake of "Useless," with Kruder & Dorfmeister whipping out mixes for the likes of Roni Size, Alex Reece and hip-hoppers Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. (They turned down opportunities to do the same for U2 and Elvis Costello in an effort to guard their underground cachet.) In the process, they further blurred the lines between remixing and songwriting. Since the only part of the source material that appears in most of their mixes is the vocal, they are able to distribute their dub-happy bliss to record buyers around the globe using their famous friends as messengers.
The K&D Sessions, also on Studio K7, displays the duo's versatility over the course of a generous double CD in which remixes (many of them previously unreleased) appear alongside "Boogie Woogie" and "Lexicon," two intriguing original compositions. "Speechless," a drum-and-bass reworking of a tune by Austria's Count Basic, is typical: It's a percolating melange of echoed vocals, rhythmic bursts and eerie horn undercurrents that resonates with the unsettling ambience that has become their trademark.
This technique is apt to get an even bigger boost from the boys' remix of "Nothing Really Matters," the newly available fourth single from Ray of Light, Madonna's critical and commercial hit from last year. The project was a natural: "Million Town," a highlight of Sessions, began its life as a song by Strange Cargo, a group assembled by Ray of Light producer William Orbit. "William liked our production," Dorfmeister says, "and the people at Maverick [Madonna's label] enjoyed our work as well, so they asked us to do it. We were very pleased to do this, and we think people will be pleased with our remix. It's wonderful doing a remix for Madonna, because we have much respect both for her music and for Madonna herself. We really liked the whole Ray of Light album.
"I can't really see the point of view of some who think she just moved over into dance music, because she has always been there," he goes on. "She's been doing dance music for years. I don't know about in America, but here in Europe, she's done a lot for it over the years. She always works with interesting artists for the remixes of her singles, and she has always had elements of house music on her tracks. She has been in the clubs from the very first day."
The same can be said of Kruder & Dorfmeister --but it's been a while since they were admitted on the basis of songs they conceived independently of anyone else. However, Dorfmeister hints that the long-awaited followup to G-Stoned may arrive in the not-too-distant future. "It's just a matter of time," he insists. "We are working on tracks for a full-length album, probably to be released early next year, even though it is a lot of work to accomplish such a task."

Kruder understands the truth of this comment all too well: Even as he and Dorfmeister were working on the album, he was putting the finishing touches on a disc he plans to put out soon under the P Orchestra moniker. Fanatics shouldn't interpret this as an indication that the turntable jockeys are about to go their separate ways, though. As Dorfmeister tells it, he and Kruder keep their relationship healthy by refusing to allow it to become co-dependent. "We each have our own studios, G-Stone 1 and G-Stone 2," he points out. "We work both separately and together, so I can have my own ideas, which I can then take over to his place." He acknowledges that "we sometimes have disagreements of an artistic nature, but we always rise above that to a common level. Such things can be fruitful for us, and it allows one or the other of us to see a sound in a new light."
Their journeys to America have provided them with fresh perspectives, too. "We did some video shooting when we traveled to Las Vegas, where we discovered some very nice areas in the desert," Dorfmeister says. "We're not sure what form we are going to use the film in or how long it is going to be. Maybe it will be some kind of video clip. We're not sure."
In the meantime, Kruder & Dorfmeister are embarking on their most extensive tour of the States yet--and you can bet that anyone waltzing to their music will be in the minority.
Kruder & Dorfmeister. 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, Soma, 1915 Broadway, Boulder, $10 in advance/$15 day of show, 303-938-8600.

As you probably know, if you're in the US, you can't stream the Olympics without an active cable or satellite TV account. NBC has it locked up. If you live practically anywhere else in the world, no problem. Only in the good ol' USA.
Well, actually you can...with a VPN.
We're streaming Canadian (CBC) coverage of the Olympics using justfreevpn. Not as easy to set up as, say TunnelBear, but it's free and their site has a setup guide.
It's funny how much more slowly events go without all the background pieces, human-interest stuff, and of course commercials. (The CBC does throw in a few ads every so often. No comparison with the goddam ads on US TV though.)

GAO report questions viability of deploying U.S. missile defense system in Europe
By JOHN VANDIVER | STARS ANS STRIPES Published: December 22, 2010
STUTTGART, Germany — The missile defense system that the Obama administration intends to deploy in Europe faces numerous development challenges, raising questions about the overall viability of the system, according to a Government Accountability Office report released Tuesday.
The European Phased Adaptive Approach, which includes a combination of land- and sea-based inceptors, also faces potential cost overruns because of insufficient oversight during the acquisition process, the GAO reported.
As a result, "going into production before fully demonstrating system performance has led to rework, cost increases, delays and uncertainties about delivered capabilities," the report stated.
The report comes one week after an interceptor missile launched from California missed its target over the Pacific Ocean, marking the second test failure this year for the defense system.
The report warned that the timeline for standing up the system, set to deploy in Europe next year, could be too ambitious. The administration's policy committed the Defense Department to a schedule "that could be challenging to meet based on the technical progress of missile defense element development and testing programs, and committed DOD to this schedule before the scope of the development efforts was fully understood," the report stated.
The Defense Department disputed the findings, saying the GAO "inaccurately portrays the department's acquisition plans."
The report did not include recommendations on how to improve oversight of the program's development. However, those recommendations will be part of a second report to be issued soon, the agency said.
In 2009, President Barack Obama canceled the Bush administration's more ambitious plans for missile defense in Europe in favor of a more flexible program that relied on existing technologies.
The Phased Adaptive Approach will be integrated with European systems. The Defense Department has described the new approach as more cost-effective. Sea-based Aegis Standard Missile 3 technology is less expensive than the ground-based interceptors that were to be used under Bush's plan, which called for sending 10 inceptors to Poland and an advanced radar to the Czech Republic.
In addition to concerns about integrating different forms of technology, questions persist over how NATO allies will be incorporated into the plans.
"Interoperability with friends and allies is uncertain; who will contribute, how, and the degree of technical feasibility and investment to interoperate with other nations has yet to be determined," the GAO said.


text: (I'm not sure if this is right area, but I think that this has more to do with lightning than color slides generally) This is something that I have noticed first time perhaps around year 2003 and suffered since. The E-6 color slide films tend to have magenta color cast (varies from light to heavy) when the slide is exposed using hotshoe mounted flash. It's usually stronger with direct flash than with bounced flash. This has happen since with other Nikons I have: FE2, F601, F100, ... And with different flashes (SB-25, SB-26, SB-28, Sunpak 120J, Metz 45 CL-4,...). With manual and TTL. I haven't pay too much attention for this, as I have mostly used studio flashes and/or B/W films or colour negative films. Until I recently begun to take more colour slides from normal family life which requires quite foten camera mounted hotshoe flash, even direct flash... Then I took this serious. I need better colors for my 'memory photos'. My thoughts so far: It could be developing error. But it's visible in the slides regardless of lab - and even in those that I develop myself It could be the color of the flash. But why it occurs with all flashes (and when same flashes are used with digital, the result is neutral) It's mostly visible when wall's (and ceiling) are white, but that probably just because it's easier to spot. Can it be simply feature of the films - but if it is, why there's no CC filtration specified for flashes in the film's datasheets? At least Sensia, Provia, Astia, especially Velvia 50, Ektachrome E100G, Elitechrome 100 and 200.. they all suffer from this. Why I am not seeing this with studio flashes? Perhaps the all reflectors/softboxes and the careful exposure gives more neutral result? As the colour temperature of the flashes should be quite near to daylight (perhaps bit colder), then why photos taken outdoor does not suffer from this issue? Is there anyone who has run to same problem? If I cannot solve this otherwise, I guess the best solution is CC filter, but how to determine the correction? Next I will take some photos with gray cards included, then I can at least get some readings with densitometer from something that I is known to be neutral. Here's sample of Provia 400X, photographed on light table. These are taken with Nikon FE2, using TTL and giving one stop more exposure from the body to compensate light wall's that would otherwise fool the TTL metering.

Eighteen years have passed. Two women, Susan Henchard, dressed in the mourning clothes of a widow, and her now-grown daughter, Elizabeth-Jane, walk along the same stretch of road toward Weydon-Priors. As the two make their way toward the fairgrounds, they speak of the sailor, Newson, whom Elizabeth-Jane believes to be her father, and his recent death at sea. Susan explains that they are there to look for a long-lost relative by the name of Henchard. Once at the fair, Susan recognizes the furmity tent and its proprietress, and she takes a private moment to ask the woman whether she remembers a husband selling his wife. After a moment, the furmity-seller does remember, and she states that the man guilty of that deed came back to her tent a year later to ask her to send anyone who came looking for him to the town of Casterbridge. Susan thanks the woman and sets off with Elizabeth-Jane for Casterbridge.
As they approach Casterbridge, Susan and Elizabeth-Jane pass by two men who, they believe, mention the name Henchard in their conversation. Elizabeth-Jane asks her mother if she should run after the men to ask them about their relative, but Susan, fearing that Henchard may be a disreputable citizen, advises against it. They arrive in Casterbridge, hungry from their journey, and ask a woman where the nearest baker's shop is. The woman tells them there is no good bread in Casterbridge because the corn-factor has sold "grown wheat," grain that has sprouted before harvest, to the millers and bakers. Susan and Elizabeth-Jane find some biscuits at a nearby shop and head off toward the sound of music in the distance.
Susan and Elizabeth-Jane arrive in front of the King's Arms Inn, where a crowd is gathered before large, open windows. When Elizabeth-Jane asks an old man what is going on, he tells her that there is an important dinner taking place and that Mr. Henchard, who is the mayor of Casterbridge, and other prominent gentlemen of the community are attending. Susan and Elizabeth-Jane are greatly surprised to hear that Henchard is the mayor, and Susan is unsure whether to make her presence known. As the two watch the diners eat, Elizabeth-Jane notices that Henchard's wineglass is never filled, and the old man tells her that the mayor has sworn an oath to abstain from all liquor.
As Susan, Elizabeth-Jane, and the other bystanders watch the proceedings, someone calls out to the mayor to explain the current bread crisis. Henchard assures the crowd that the damaged wheat was not his fault and that he has hired a manager to ensure that the same situation does not happen again. "If anybody will tell me how to turn grown wheat into wholesome wheat," he tells the crowd, "I'll take it back with pleasure. But it can't be done."
A young Scotchman who happens to be passing by hears the discussion about the wheat. He writes a note and asks a waiter to deliver it to the mayor. The stranger then makes his way to the Three Mariners Inn. Having witnessed this interaction, Elizabeth-Jane is intrigued by the stranger. She and Susan are also looking for a place to stay, so they decide to follow the young man to the Three Mariners Inn. The note is delivered to Henchard, who reads it and seems quite interested. Privately, he asks the waiter about the origin of the note. Upon learning that it came from a young man who has gone to spend the night at the Three Mariners, Henchard also makes his way to the inn.
Compared to the high and often unbelievable drama of later chapters, little happens in Chapters III through VI. Given that eighteen years have passed since Henchard's sale of his family at the fair in Weydon-Priors, the function of these chapters is largely expository, and they serve mainly to provide necessary information rather than dramatic development. Here, we learn that Henchard, whose prospects for the future seem limited (if not doomed) after his shameful introduction, has managed to become one of Casterbridge's most prominent citizens. Interestingly, Hardy chooses to bypass the story of Henchard's rise from a young, emotionally volatile hay-trusser to the mayor and primary grain distributor of a small agricultural town. Susan and Elizabeth-Jane's ignorance of Henchard's rise to power emphasizes Hardy's decision to eliminate the story of Henchard's development from the narrative scope of the novel.

All of the characters (besides the troubled Henchard) are almost completely shallow and almost petty. Isn't it odd how Frafaer had no difficulty getting back together with Elizabeth-Jane after he hurt her so terribly by going for Lucetta? And how Lucetta practically refuses to own up to her own actions by claiming it was a misfortune she fell into? Although it is almost annoying how Henchard never learns from his mistakes, he truly does seem like the only "deep" character in this book.

I didn't like most of the characters, but that does not imply that I disliked the book. The book was fantastic and the story was gripping. I was initially fond of Farfrae, but then I grew to dislike him. I despised Lucetta since the first time she was described, and my hatred kept increasing as the story progressed. Elizabeth-Jane was the only character I liked; whereas, my feelings towards Michael Henchard were those of confusion. I disliked him at times. Other times, I felt pangs of sympathy towards him, and anger towards how others treate

The shadow of that one horrible sin committed at the fair chases Henchard all his life. Even after so much repentance, he knows there is no penance.

The bullpen isn't doing any better than the rotation tonight.
The Red Sox have hit six home runs, the last four off Orioles relievers.
Jacoby Ellsbury took Jason Berken deep in the sixth inning. Pedro Viola replaced him in the seventh and gave up consecutive bombs to David Ortiz, Josh Reddick and Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Red Sox 10, Orioles 3.
I guess this is rock bottom.
Viola walked the next batter and was gone. He didn't record an out.
It was the first time that the Orioles surrendered three straight home runs since May 20, 2009 at Yankee Stadium.
Surrender might not be a bad idea.
Manager Buck Showalter reportedly tore into his club after last night's game. What's left to say tonight?
Update: Showalter told MASN's Gary Thorne that he wasn't happy with Jake Arrieta's tempo tonight.
Showalter still has tentative plans to start Alfredo Simon on Saturday and Mitch Atkins on Sunday, but they'll be changed if he needs to use either pitcher in relief tomorrow night.

In this deeply revealing and engaging autobiography, Herb Silverman tells his iconoclastic life story. He takes the listener from his childhood as an Orthodox Jew in Philadelphia, where he stopped fasting on Yom Kippur to test God's existence, to his adult life in the heart of the Bible Belt, where he became a legendary figure within America's secular activist community and remains one of its most beloved leaders.
Never one to shy from controversy, Silverman relates many of his high-profile battles with the Religious Right, including his decision to run for governor of South Carolina to challenge the state's constitutional provision that prohibited atheists from holding public office.
Candidate Without a Prayer offers an intimate portrait of a central player in today's increasingly heated culture wars. It will be sure to charm both believers and nonbelievers alike, and will lead all those who care about the separation of church and state to give thanks.
©2012 Herb Silverman and Richard Dawkins (foreword) (P)2012 Pitchstone Publishing
I noticed that some other reviewers didn't enjoy the author's reading style so I felt compelled to write a quick review to say that I came to rather like it as the book progressed. I'm not from the US, and that may be why I often don't connect with US narrators. To generalise rather broadly, I haven't come across many who can convey a good range of accents and voices, and some narrators that rate highly with USans sound to me as though they're auditioning for a super hyped up commercial. Cultural difference probably, and I could well change my mind as I consume more audiobooks. Professor Silverman's reading style has the great virtues of being deliberate and clear, and I'm not at all sure it would have been better read by a professional. The book's content is engaging and thought-provoking, and I enjoyed it tremendously.
"Humanism vs religious intolerance"
Almost never do I enjoy a narration of a book by the author. Guess I am spoiled by the stage-trained skills of people like Simon Jones and Wil Wheaton. Herb Silverman's reading of his book is not very great. But the content is funny, touching, and illuminating. I didn't know him before listening to this book but I learned a lot. This is an intellectual look at our politics and culture, mixed with the attempts of Silverman to bring a little light and education into the discussion of religious/political interactions. It is well worth listening to.
"The coolest autobiography"
Herb Silverman's account of his life is a delight to read or hear. He sheds light on the inequality of atheists of any class or profession. That he narrated the book himself was lovely.
Mr. Silverman had the audacity and bravery to go up against the Christian establishment. His tale is inspirational to atheists everywhere.
I adored his humorous tale very much and look forward to more books from him in the future.
"An Interesting Autobiography"
Herb Silverman provides a good and reasonably-ordered autobiography for events along many branches of his life. Although not as earth shattering as I thought it might be, I did enjoy the book throughout. I do believe that the author could have chosen a better narrator, and that may have significantly improved the value of the book as entertainment.
"Audio was not edited/produced. Read way too slow."
The audio was not properly produced. Multiple times, he reads part of a line, and then stops and reads it again. It as if he is actually reading a book, making mistakes and getting distracted, and no audio producers are editing that before it was uploaded. The story was fine. Some good stuff there. But the editing and reading were horrible. He read way too slowly. I listened on 1.5x speed and it was still odd at times. Not a smooth flowing narration. He's a good man, though and a great speaker/thinker for society. He just should have had a professional narrator do the book.
"Boring, boring, boring!"
I had big expectations for this book, with Richard Dawkins writing and reading the forword.
The book, which Herb Silverman claims his step-daughter couldn't stop laughing about, is probably one of the most boring books ever to have been published. I admit it does have a few pearls of atheistic wisdom, thank you Mr Silverman, but other than that most of the time its contents is as lacking in significance or wit as you can ask for. To make matters worse, Mr. Silverman cannot even correctly read his own autobiography. I am still at odds which is worse: his pronunciation or his intonation, but both are well under par.
"Not what you expect"
Unfortunately, Mr. Silverman does not have much of a story to tell. While sold as a narration of his run for public office, this is a rather mundane biography of a Jewish boy from Philadelphia teaching in Charleston. A nice story to be sure, but not anything worth the effort. His reading style is rather poor.
"Should have hired a voice over actor."
I must have listened to at least fifty or so audiobooks from audible, but the narration on this was the worst I`ve come across. Coming home on the bus from work tonight, I was subjected to the author saying a sentence, pausing, and then saying it again before continuing! The monotone delivery and lack of passion in his voice don`t help things, and to make matters worse, it`s more of a simple autobiography than the experience of a non-believer, that part seems almost incidental. I really was expecting more, there are so many better books relating to the rejection of religious beliefs, and then don`t confuse the terminology either.
"Entertaining Book - Humorous and thoughtful"
I enjoyed the story. Nicely delivered atheist views, lightly given. Nicely written style. narration generally good, but sometimes a bit slow and sounded more like somebody reading the material for the first time rather that the author.
But I did listen to it all, and it brought many a smile to my face.

A powerful king, ruler of many domains, was in a position of such magnificence that wise men were his mere employees. And yet one day he felt himself confused and called the sages to him. He said: "I do not know the cause, but something impels me to seek a certain ring, one that will enable me to stabilize my state. I must have such a ring. And this ring must be one which, when I am unhappy, will make me joyful. At the same time, if I am happy and look upon it, I must be made sad."
The wise men consulted one another and threw themselves into deep contemplation. Finally they came to a decision as to the character of this ring, which would suit their king. The ring they devised was one upon which was inscribed the legend: "This, too, shall pass."
I just love this folk tale as it makes me think about the power of neutrality. It is easy to get swayed by the ups and downs of life, but if we can walk the middle ground, there is a steadiness that we experience that is powerful in its own way.
I also enjoyed sharing this folk-tale as it makes me think of the objective listening skills necessary of a good mentor or coach. The mentors must be discerning, warm and kind, and disciplined enough to not jump to rash decisions or recommendations when listening to a client. I feel this is a valuable asset as a coach as I find that sometimes people want answers fast, and yet, I must remember that the full story must be taken into account so that I may best understand why someone is going through a certain health journey and process.
The story of the ring helps all of us to remember to be an observer and that sometimes the experience, which seems to grab our attention, may gently shift and pass. We feel that at times it takes the right facilitator to listen, ask specific questions and be able to be a positive force for healing and upliftment. Just when it seems as though one door closes, another opens and new found health and awareness emerges.

Although Davis High has one of the top defenses in the state, it was the Silver Wolves' defense that came up big in securing a 20-7 victory over the Darts in the Region 1 battle.
After going 3 and out on its first couple of possessions of the game, the Fremont defense came up big by blocking a field goal attempt by Davis in the first quarter. Davis, however, would score later on in the second quarter to go up 7-0 over Fremont with time winding down in the first half.
Fremont then moved the ball down the field, and on the last play of the first half, Cooper Kelly threw a touchdown pass to Travis Stringham. However, there was a controversial flag on the play, with pass interference called against a Fremont receiver on the opposite side of the field. The referees negated the touchdown and ended the half on the penalty.4 comments on this story
Frustrated with the call, Fremont came out of the locker room fired up and ready to take control of the game. Kelly connected with one of his tight ends, Brock Smith, for a 65-yard touchdown pass down the middle of the field to make it 7-6 after the extra point went wide right. Later on in the quarter, the Fremont defense did it once again as Jordan Preator intercepted Tyson Denney's pass and returned it 38 yards for another touchdown to make it 14-7 after Fremont completed a two point conversion on a pass from Cooper Kelly to Rowdi Stucki.
Later on with the game winding down, the Fremont defense forced and recovered a fumble on its own 25-yard line and Nick Vigil scored a few plays later on a 7-yard run to seal the victory for Fremont as it took control of the top spot in Region 1 with three games left to go in region play. Vigil finished the night with 108 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Silver Wolves as Kelly threw for 185 yards and a touchdown. Denney threw for 159 yards and a touchdown in the loss for Davis.

Bill Me Later
Complaint 14680 Details
- Date Occurred: 07/16/2013
- Reported Damages: $609.57
The complaint is against an online dating profile
The complaint is a listing fraud posted on public forums or sites against an anonymous entity
The complaint is mobile text spam or smishing related against an anonymous entity
The company or person contact no longer exists
International boundaries
I normally charge my airline fare's through this company, and I alway's pay on time in full.
On 8-8-11 I noticed my account had a balance of over $1,200.00, and when I called this company they said to call a company called
Overstock.com. My first call on 8-8-11 the woman whom I talked to
told me Overstock know's this is a fraud and that there is another
fraud charge of $608.25. She explained that Overstock know's that
both charge's are fraud, she told me they know the address where
the fraud took place. She explained that the order's where for 2 lap
top computer's, and the address was in Brooklyn, NY. When I asked
for their address she said by law she could only give me the city name. She said once the first fraud was removed from my account
the second one would also be removed from my account, and to wait a week and then check my statement balance.
After a week went by the fraud charge was still on my account, I
called Bill Me Later, I was given a reference number and to call Overstock. When I talked to Overstock they said it was Bill Me Later's responsibility to remove the fraud charge's. I again called Bill Me Later and was told it was Overstock's responsibility to remove the fraud charge's. They told me to call Bill Me Later, which I did, and they again assured me it was Overstock's responsibility to remove fraudulant charge's since it went through them. I again called Overstock and they said they would take the charge off of my account, but they didn't do it. I called them back and talked with "Noel" and he got smart with me. I explained to him what the
first lady I talked to on 8-8-11 explained to me. He was very uncooperative with me and said even if it's a fraud case his company work's with many companies. He went on in a sarcastic tone of voice saying even though when I called his company the first time and the item's had not been shipped they could not stop
the shipment's. I explained what the first lady did and what she told me and I was told there is nothing his company can do.
I then called Bill Me Later and was told to file a police report with the local police department, which I did. Then I was told they would call me on 8-23-11 to let me know what would be the result of the
fraudulant charge. When I didn't hear from them by 5:00PM, I called and asked to speak to their fraud department. They gave me a number where no one answer's, I tried it 50 or more time's and then later tried it again and didn't get an answer. When I called Bill Me Later's customer line I was told that there is no number for the
fraud department and when I told her I had it she put me on hold. When she returned to the phone she transferred me to the same number I was dialing and didn't get an answer. I called the number again and left my name and number and a brief message as to what I was calling about and they were suppose to get back to me. I then called the customer number again and was told that they would only speak to the local police in my home town where I filed the report. As of 8-24-11 at 2:17PM I have'nt heared from anyone.

- Why would you ever use Bill Me Later to pay for anything. It's just a revolving credit line with usary law breaching rates and perhaps slightly less punitive and forgiving than a mob racket when it comes to paying late (which seems to be an arbitrarily designated date that oddly always works in their favor). This is not some unique or novel method of payment.

Paring down the commission's 51 field offices, reorganizing headquarters, taking complaint filings online and establishing a national call center are among changes recommended for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in a new government report.
Expect many of these plans to take effect in the next few years. Find a summary of the National Academy of Public Administration study at www.napawash. org/pubs/eeoc_summary.pdf.
