"Great Authors - Very BAD Short Stories"
The story lines were not good to me, very unrealistic
No, I like variety
Probably all of them
The only story worth listening to is the first. After that it all goes down hill! In my opinion!
"Wasn't bad"
some story lines were better than others it was ok! my favorite stories were the first and third one.
"2 stories were ok "
I'm just glad these were short stories. They seemed very random and ill told. I found Nuttall zoning out and it became a chore to complete. blah.
"Great read"
I absolutely loved this book. All of the stories were wonderful. These ladies definitely did the damn thang!!
"great book!!"
Narration was great. Story lines were interesting. Easy listening, and easy to follow. I loved it!!

Inverted GAPPS; you are on your own to figure out. Everything you need is in this forum. However, I would recommend making a nan droid before you attempt to replace and invert GAPPS.

Between the outbreak of the second intifada, in late September 2000, and the implementation of Israel's "disengagement plan" from the Gaza Strip on 11 September 2005, Israeli security forces killed at least 283 Palestinians near the fence surrounding the Gaza Strip. At least 105 of those killed were civilians not taking part in hostilities. Between September 2005 and the end of September 2012, Israeli security forces killed 213 Palestinians near the fence. At least 154 of those killed were civilians not taking part in hostilities, among them 17 minors.
The large number of cases has given cause for concern that the army has classified broad swaths of land adjacent to the fence as a "no-go zone", in which soldiers are allowed to open fire at anybody who enters, even if the person poses no threat. Army officials, among them the judge advocate general, Maj.-Gen. Avichai Mandelblit, have strongly denied any such order exists.
Despite this denial, in early 2010, the army disseminated leaflets in the Gaza Strip warning residents that it is forbidden to go within 300 meters of the fence, and that all means, including gunfire, will be used against persons who violate the prohibition. An announcement by the IDF Spokesperson, made on 28 April 2010, stated that, "The area next to the perimeter fence is a combat zone".
The lax rules of engagement in these areas endanger farmers and residents who live nearby. The danger is especially great given that the area is not signposted, in breach of the High Court of Justice's ruling that "special security areas" must be clearly marked. B'Tselem and other organizations have documented dozens of cases of army gunfire at persons who posed no threat and were much more than 300 meters from the fence (up to 1,500 meters). In many cases, no attempt was made to arrest the persons, and no warning was given before soldiers opened fire. Where warning was given, it was given only in Hebrew.
According to UN figures, the area of the formal no-go zones, together with the area in which entry effectively restricted due to a real risk of gunfire, covers 62.6 square kilometers, which amount to 17 percent of the total area of the Gaza Strip. The no-go zones affect 113,000 Palestinians (7.5 percent of the population of the Gaza Strip), causing harm to their homes, land, workplaces, and schools (seven schools are located in areas in which entry is restricted).
B'Tselem asked the IDF Spokesperson for clarifications on the borders of the no-go areas, the rules of engagement applying in the area, and the means used to prevent harm to innocent persons. In its response, dated 24 May 2010, the IDF Spokesperson provided a general and unsatisfactory statement claiming that the army's policy results from the "fear of terrorist actions".
Harm to agriculture
The area in which entry is dangerous – the space extending 1,500 meters from the perimeter fence – comprises about 35 percent of the land in the Gaza Strip that is suitable for farming. Closing these areas harms the income and routine of tens of thousands of farmers and their dependants.
In the past, the farmers in the area grew fruit trees and built greenhouses. Some of the land was used for grazing sheep and cattle for the production of meat. After the army destroyed much of the crops, many farmers chose to grow less labor-intensive crops that did not block the army's field of vision. Common crops now being cultivated in the area do not require irrigation, such as wheat, barley, beans, and vegetables. Farmers working land there suffer, as do farmers throughout the Gaza Strip, from Israeli restrictions on marketing their produce.
According to UN figures, $308 million worth of property has been destroyed since 2005 in the area lying near the fence (this figure includes the damage caused during Operation Cast Lead). The destroyed property includes 18,000 dunams of fruit orchards, 5,800 dunams of greenhouses, about 1,000 residential dwellings, more than 300 wells, and six factories. The harm to crops and restrictions on access to land create a potential annual loss of 75,000 tons of agricultural produce, valued at $50 million. Non-cultivation of farmland in this area is liable to impoverish land resources and may even cause desertification of these areas in the future.
Harm to gravel gatherers
Another occupation that has developed in the Gaza Strip is the collection of fragments of buildings destroyed during Operation Cast Lead and from the Erez industrial area and settlements that were evacuated in the northern Gaza Strip in order to produce gravel. Some of these areas are classified as "no-go zones." Salvaging these materials has become vital due to the harsh restrictions on entry of construction materials, and it has become a relatively profitable occupation (NIS 40-80 a day). B'Tselem's investigation indicates that most persons engaged in this work are young; many are youths under the age of 18 who have left school to support their families.
Although the work is profitable, it is dangerous. B'Tselem and other human rights organizations have testimonies and video footage of dozens of instances in which soldiers have fired at and wounded Palestinian civilians working in areas near the perimeter fence.
In some of the cases, according to testimonies given to B'Tselem, the gravel gatherers were less that 300 meters from the fence, in an area the army has declared a closed military area. In other cases, the Palestinians were much further away, outside the prohibited area. Witnesses stated that they were given warnings in Hebrew, which some of the gravel gatherers did not understand. It was also contended that the army ordered them to leave within a few minutes but opened fire before the time expired. Some of the witnesses reported they were wounded, in most cases in the legs, others said warning shots were usually fired, and that their pack animals were shot.
Following the official declaration on prohibiting entry of Palestinians to the areas along the perimeter fence, the Popular Resistance Committees demonstrated for a few months against the army's policy. The participants were from the area and from Palestinian organizations. In a number of instances, the demonstrators threw stones at army posts, but none of the demonstrators used weapons. The demonstrations began in Beit Lahiya in 2009. Then, in the first few months of 2010, they were held throughout the Gaza Strip, with activists from abroad taking part.
Testimonies given to B'Tselem indicate that in several cases, the army fired at demonstrators who approached the perimeter fence, even though the protestors did not did not pose a danger to the soldiers and did not try to cross the fence. For example, in a demonstration that took place on 24 April 2010, demonstrators tried to plant Palestinian flags about 50 meters from the fence. Soldiers opened fire, wounding three demonstrators. Video footage of a demonstration that took place on 28 April 2010 shows a group of demonstrators about 100 meters from the fence. They were throwing stones at soldiers on the other side of the fence. The soldiers opened live fire, killing one demonstrator, Ahmad Saliman Salem Dib, 19.
The sweeping declaration of extensive tracts of land, which provide a livelihood for thousands of persons, as an area into which soldiers are permitted to shoot at any person present there, even if they pose no threat whatsoever, is illegal. Firing at persons who do not endanger security forces or Israeli civilians breaches the primary principle of international humanitarian law – the obligation to distinguish between combatants and civilians.
Israel has the obligation to defend the border area and prevent hostile activity against Israel, but it must do so within the framework of the law, in a way that does not harm persons who do not threaten its security. Israel must change this policy immediately.

Best way to kick off a brand new year? Why, a salad recipe of course! Sure, maybe it's a bit cliché to go all clean eating at the beginning of January. If I was a real rebel, I'd post a brownie recipe or something, but I've always been a rule follower. So, you get salad. AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT.
(Kidding. If you don't, that's totally okay. I still love you.)
I actually have a big ole post coming up next week that talks all about how I've recommitted to healthy eating, active living, and *gasp* weight loss. Lots more on that next week, but for now, you should know that we've been cleaning up our diet like whoa. It's not that we've ever gone fully off the wagon—no drive-thru trips here*—but the past few months have been the normal holiday indulgence. Lots more sugar, caffeine, booze, butter, and cream than my body likes.
Gone are the days where I'd beat myself up for the indulgent eating of December. Long ago, I accepted that it is a glorious part of the ebb and flow of life, and that I more than make up for the dozens of cookies I eat in December with the dozens of kale smoothies I drink January through November. Everything in moderation, including moderation.
*Actually, now that I think about it, that's a lie. My husband and I definitely split an order of Rally's fries while we were out Christmas shopping one day in December. BEST. FRIES. EVER. Totally worth it. No regrets.
But, alas, now that the holidays are over, it's time to get back to normal. And just as I stripped my house of Christmas decorations and it felt so, so, SO good to pack it all away, I'm stripping my diet of the Christmas food, and wow, it feels so, so, SO good to be back to eating nutritious, beautiful, glorious healthy food.
I've been really on the dinner salad train lately. I used to not be much of a salad person, because honestly, they were boring as all get out. But a dinner salad? One that is packed with layers of flavor, texture, and color? One that is filling and hearty? I'm all about those kinds of salads!

|More information:
Battleground Berlin is the definitive, insider's account of the espionage warfare in Berlin between CIA and KGB from 1945 to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Two intelligence veterans - major players on opposite sides of the Cold War - have joined in an unprecedented collaboration to tell the story. Basing their narrative on personal recollections, interviews with other CIA and KGB officers, and documents never before made public, the authors provide a vast number of new details of CIA's infiltration of the new East German intelligence service; the construction, operation, and uncovering of the Berlin tunnel; and many other initiatives and countermoves dealing with the series of crises that racked Berlin and jeopardized an uneasy world peace during this period.

Then I read other tasting notes about adding cream and sugar and how much of a difference that made. So I decided to do so.
Zomg! This tea is so amazingly dessert-ish with cream and sugar. It makes me so happy inside. I wish I could eat it with strawberries and cream and enjoy the two together. The strawberry flavor in this is so awesome, I really enjoy the way this tea is flavored.
Thanks to Ricky and Soccermom for both sending me samples of this. I will covet them until payday when I can pick up my own tin!!!!

Arsenal want to sign Southampton star Sadio Mane and could sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Leicester to help fund a deal.
Mane has been a revelation with Saints, and boss Ronald Koeman will be determined to keep hold of the 24-year-old, who was signed from Salzburg for £11.25million.
However a bid of around £17million could be too good to turn down and the Gunners will raise the cash by selling Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The 22-year-old has been out of action since suffering a serious knee injury back in February, but he should be fit for pre-season, and there is a good chance he will be at another club by then.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is planning changes to his squad this summer and is willing to let Oxlade-Chamberlain go, so he can keep Theo Walcott.
Southampton have been linked with a move to re-sign Oxlade-Chamberlain, but reports claim that Premier League champions Leicester are leading the race for his signature.
Wenger will want £15million for the winger so he can put it towards making a move for Mane.

Today there is accumulating evidence from animal experiments that regeneration can be induced after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Consequently in the near future, new therapeutic approaches to induce some regeneration will be included in the treatment of patients with SCI. The aim of this proposal is to provide the required clinical basis for the implementation of novel interventional therapies. The establishment of combined clinical, functional and neurophysiological measures for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of spinal cord function in patients with SCI at different stages during rehabilitation represents a basic requirement to monitor any significant effect of a new treatment. Therefore, several European Paraplegic Centres involved in the rehabilitation of acute traumatic SCI patients build up a close collaboration for standardised assessment. The aim is to get knowledge about the natural recovery after spinal cord lesion in a larger population of patients in the sense of a historical control group and to bring new standardised assessment tools to the clinical setting.

There are hearts of many kinds ....5h and fav.
KGH you got it. Give the man a cigar!
Its Elvis' wooden heart. Cool.
My point exactly, my dear.
This is such a heart touching drawing! Wish I would have seen it before! The detail to the little wooden heart is perfection, quiet the contrast to love. I would not want to be love proof, but broken hearted proof :) That, I would love :) 10++
Nice play on words. Very good grain work, no splinters. 10
I'm amazed at the thoughtful comments this pic has provoked...thanks everyone.
Love hurts but till you have loved and lost you can never truly appreciate what you had. I would rather feel the pain because when we lose our love for others we have lost life itself. Great draw Brutus.. It really helps to stop and smell the roses.
I wood belive this is a heart of gold...that's my opinion, wood u agree? Gold stands the test of time and remains true even under fire... :D
Such a beautiful detail! Such a wonderful little heart...wood is warm and alive, better then gold :D

The festival's main prize New Talent Grand PIX is awarded to Bulgarian filmmaker Ralitza Petrova for her debut film 'Godless'. The awards Nordisk Film Fondens Best Children's Film went to 'Girls Lost' by Swedish Alexandra-Therese Keining. The winner of Politikens Audience Award went to 'Heartstone' by Icelandic Gudmundur A.

Winner of Politikens Audience Award: Heartstone

Winner of Politiken Fondens Best Short Film for Children: 'Ztriwer'
The winner of New Talent Grand PIX
Friday afternoon, this year's international jury consisting of Philippe Grandrieux (FR), Erika Wasserman (SE) and Manuel Alberto Claro (DK) appointed Bulgarian Ralitza Petrova the winner of CPH PIX's main competition, New Talent Grand PIX. 10 debuting directors from all over the world competed for the award and a cash prize of 10.000 euro.
'Godless' is a Bulgarian, Danish and French co-production.
"We were looking for a filmmaker and talent who is not afraid to grab the world with the possibilities of cinema itself and use all its means to invite us inside this process. In such kind of cinema, there is no hierarchy: a scene of eating a soup is shot with the same intensity as a scene of a sex orgy. That is why we have decided to award the New Talent Grand PIX to the daring and interesting voice whose future films we are looking forward to look out for - Ralitza Petrova," the Jury states about the winner.
Winner of Nordisk Film Fondens Beste Children's Film
For the very first time, the award Nordisk Film Fondens Best Children's Film and a 3.000 euro cash prize has been handed out during CPH PIX in relation to the school- and family programme BUSTER. A jury consisting of four children between the ages of 11 and 14 named 'Girls Lost' by Swedish director Alexandra-Therese Keining their favourite film out of the 10 nominees.
"We chose this film, partly because it uses different techniques to express emotion, but mostly because of the messages that the film presents to the viewer. Taboo subjects like gender identity and sexuality is relevant to most teenagers," the children's jury said about their decision.
Winner of Politikens Audience Award
During the first eight festival days, audiences voted for their favourite of 12 chosen features, and once again an Iceladic director arose victorious, as debuting director Gudmundur A. Gudmundsson won over the crowd with his danish-produced feature film 'Heartstone'. The film presents a strong portrait of life in a small Icelandic fishing village.
Second place was awarded to melodrama 'The 9th Life of Louis Drax' directed by French Alexandre Aja, while third place was awarded to '24 Weeks' directed by German Anne Zohra Berrached.
Winner of Politiken Fondens Best Short Film for Children
Danish director Amalie Næsby's 'Ztriwer' was declared the winner of this year's Politiken Fondens Bedste Kortfilm for Children. Elaborating on the decision, jury member Helle Strandgaard Jensen said:
"'Ztriwer' is a solid film where the visuals, the sound and the narrative come together to from a fun and relevant story, that will really tug on your heartstrings.
Protagonist Søren is so annoyingly charming and irresistible when he dances us through a story of friendship and the courage to march to the beat of your own drum. The Jutlandic narrator's voice-over is a daring choice that gives this film an edge and makes it stand out."
This year's short film jury consisted of Charlotte Brodthagen, director at production company Made By Us, Helle Strandgaard Jensen, lecturer in History at Aarhus University with a focus on Media History, and Nikolaj Tarp, director, screenwriter and specialist in film and theater dramaturgy.

The decision is a victory for the Communications Workers of America, which is seeking to represent nearly 10,000 employees who work at airports or in reservations.
American on May 2 asked the U.S. District Court in Fort Worth to block the NMB from holding the election, which originally was scheduled for May 17 to June 19.
However, "the Carrier has not requested a stay, nor has a stay been obtained," the NMB said in its order. "Therefore, the Board has determined to proceed with the election in this matter."
According to the CWA, the NMB has set this schedule for the election:
-- June 14: A notice of election and sample instructions will be sent to American Airlines
-- June 21: Instructions for voting by telephone or Internet will be mailed to employees
-- June 21: Voting begins.
-- Aug 2: Voting ends
-- Aug 2: Ballots are counted at 1 p.m. CDT in NMB offices.
Because American refused an April 24 order from the NMB to provide mailing address labels of eligible voters, the agency will use a list provided by the union May 15.
American had challenged the election because Congress changed the Railway Labor Act in February to require that at least 50 percent of eligible employees had to sign cards seeking a union election. Prior to the new law, the requirement was 35 percent.
The CWA filed its petition seeking an election in December, before Congress changed the law. The union and NMB have stated that the 35 percent floor should apply.
The NMB didn't rule on the sufficiency of the cards until April, after the law went into effect, and American thinks the 50 percent rule should apply.
American also wanted the NMB to count hundreds of furloughed workers as part of the class, a stance that would have required the CWA to collect more signatures to reach the threshold, whatever the threshold is.
In explaining its action, the labor board said (we've excluded the legal citations):
"It is well-settled that the Board's actions in representation matters are generally unreviewable. Judicial review is only available where the plaintiff has established that the Board's decision involved 'patent official bad faith'; violated the constitutional rights of an employer, employee, or union; or was a 'gross violation' of the RLA. The Board's decision to authorize an election in this case does not constitute 'bad faith'; nor did the Board act in 'gross violation' of the RLA or violate the constitutional rights of the participants.
"... the Carrier's actions in this case have already delayed the election by more than four weeks. The RLA requires 'the prompt and orderly settlement' of labor-management disputes. Additionally, the Board has a duty to protect the stability of the voting process. The Carrier has presented an insufficient basis for the Board to further delay the election in this case. Since American refuses to comply with the Board's orders, the Board exercises its authority pursuant to 45 U.S.C. § 152, Ninth, to 'utilize any appropriate method' and will proceed with the election using the mailing labels provided by the CWA."
An airline representative said the carrier was "disappointed" that the NMB decided to proceed before the court has a chance to rule on the election's legality.
"We believe a court review is necessary and prudent in this case and are evaluating the NMB's decision to determine the company's next steps," spokeswoman Missy Cousino said.
The CWA said that American "has been doing everything it can think of, legal and not, to stop nearly 10,000 agents from exercising their legal right to a union representation vote."

Poor advice to alleged drunk driver prompts dash from crash scene
Belfast — A Belfast woman who police say took the advice of a bystander who reportedly told her to leave the scene after backing into a vehicle at a local pub Friday night, March 21, is now facing charges that include operating under the influence.
Following the incident, police arrested Alicia Kinney, 30, of Belfast on charges of leaving the scene of a property damage accident and operating under the influence.
Belfast Detective Sgt. Bryan Cunningham with the Belfast Police Department said police were alerted to the situation just after 11 p.m., when an individual approached Belfast Sgt. Brian Lunt, who was patrolling in the vicinity of Front Street Pub.
"They said they just saw Alicia Kinney back into another car and then take off," said Cunningham Monday, March 24.
Cunningham said Lunt then went to Kinney's residence at a nearby apartment complex and spotted her vehicle parked outside. Cunningham said the car had visible damage to the rear drivers' side.
"She answered the door, she was visibly intoxicated and they did field sobriety tests on her," said Cunningham.
From there, Cunningham said, Lunt transported Kinney to the Waldo County Jail, where a breath test showed her blood alcohol content was above the legal limit.
Cunningham said Kinney told the officer she knew she hit the vehicle before she left the scene.
"She said she knew she hit the car but then somebody told her she should leave, so she did," said Cunningham.
Kinney is scheduled to appear in court May 6.

Personal Injury Claims - Assault and Battery
By L. Ty Wilson, PC, Georgia
Law Firm's Profile & Articles
Law Firm's Profile & Articles
In the event one person injures another in a violent and intentional manner, the victim may likely be entitled to compensation for pain & suffering, medical expenses, and damages suffered as a result of the injury.
While often treated as a single instance, in reality, "assault" and "battery" represent two individual but linked actions. Assault is defined as any threatening or intimidating action, which causes the victim to fear an imminent bodily injury. Battery is the physical act of injuring another person. The main distinction between assault and battery is the existence of harmful physical contact. The physical component negates "assault" although assault is commonly understood to involve subsequent bodily harm.
There are degrees of assault and battery (simple and aggravated) based on the nature and specific actions of the perpetrator. For instance, assault against a protected class of people (such as pregnant women or the elderly), assault in a public transportation vehicle or station, and domestic assault are treated more severely. Assault is raised to the level of a felony in cases where robbery, rape or murder is threatened while in possession of a weapon or firearm. Battery is subject to similar protected class modifiers and increased penalty if the injuries are particularly severe (permanently damaging or disfiguring).
Assault and battery, like other types of personal injury, is subject to both criminal and civil liability. The State of Georgia sets guidelines for criminal justice based on the facts of the specific case, and takes into consideration any mitigating circumstances (such as self-defense, or the defense of another person or property). In the event one person injures another in a violent and intentional manner, the victim is entitled to compensation for pain & suffering, medical expenses, and damages suffered as a result of the injury. Assault and battery is considered an "intentional tort" (distinguishing it from other types of personal injury, such as food poisoning or injury from a defective product or medication). Depending on the specific circumstances of the case, the claimant may be entitled to other forms of compensation, such as emotional distress, or punitive damages.
In determining fault for battery, the claimant must demonstrate that the perpetrating party caused bodily harm, without "privilege." Privilege refers to specific circumstances in which the injury resulted in the context of some protected form of action. Consensual participation in a sporting event (as injuries are inherent to the activity), reasonable force employed by a police officer, force used in defending oneself from attack, and protection of property or a storefront are all regarded as actions taken with some form of "privilege." In the absence of any privileged action on the part of the perpetrator, the victim of assault and battery has a reasonable expectation of compensation for injuries incurred.
The specifics of each assault and battery claim are different and should be discussed with an experienced personal injury attorney.

A timeless fabric, this fall the usage of houndstooth has amped up a notch, leaving customers itching to get their hands around the pattern.
Be it furniture, clothing, or accessories, there is a houndstooth piece for everyone, from a pattern so slight that it appears to be checkered to houndstooth so big (a la Alexander McQueen) that it engulfs the wearer.

"I think I screwed up." - President Barack Obama on the Daschle nomination.
The crash-and-burn of Tom Daschle's nomination to head the Health and Human Services Department wasn't the first bad news to hit the new administration. Nor will it be the last.
Many in the media depicted Daschle's fall from grace as a disaster for the president. But this episode is really no more than an unsettling blip. It reveals little about how President Obama will handle the great challenges of the day.
Presidential mettle can only be measured by serious trials that test character and leadership. President Obama will face plenty of real challenges over the next four years, and we'll know them when we see them. Odds are they'll start arriving faster than he wants -- or expects.
The White House has tried to look like it's moving fast on many problem areas. In less than two weeks Obama had: announced plans to close Guantanamo Bay and other terrorist detention facilities; vowed to solve global warming, and appointed czars for global problems ranging from cyber threats to Middle East conflicts.
Yet the administration has shown little interest in actually driving the world agenda. In the real hot spots -- like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan -- Obama's policies look an awful lot like Bush policies. Elsewhere, the administration has signaled only an interest in "dialogue" -- the diplomatic equivalent of "let's do lunch."
This is understandable. Like all presidents, Obama wants to focus on his domestic agenda for the "first hundred days." But passive global leadership cedes the initiative to others, and some of those "others" are more than happy to drive the agenda in ways that can create real crises.
No issue carries greater potential for crisis than the growing threat of missile attack. Last week, Iran launched its first homemade satellite into space. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi assured an alarmed world that "Iran's space advancement serves no military purpose."
He is probably right... today. But Americans should be worried today, for the same reason they worried when the Soviets launched Sputnik in 1957: the launch demonstrates the increasing sophistication of a hostile nation's ballistic missile program.
Layer that on top of Iran's rapidly progressing nuclear program (which they also claim has no military purpose), and you have to wonder when Iran will drop the other shoe -- a "surprise" test of its first nuclear weapon.
North Korea hasn't been quiet either. Pyongyang has just abrogated a bunch of agreements with the South, and media reports indicate a new long-range missile site is 80 percent complete, with another round of missile tests imminent.
It may be only saber-rattling intended to cow the leaders in Seoul. With Kim Jong-Il, you never know...And that's the problem.
Also troubling, though, are the administration's early signals on missile defense. It said nothing when Sen. Carl Levin, D-MI, declared, "We are going to cut weapons systems" and singled out the missile-defense program.
Also worrisome, some of the newbies have suggested they might try to make nice with the Russians by reneging on our commitment to build missile defenses in Europe.
The surest way for the administration to set itself up for a colossal crisis is to abandon missile defense. To do so in the face of provocative actions by tinhorn tyrants in Iran and North Korea -- or in response to mere complaints from Russia -- is to look weak and inept. And that would invite disaster.
To paraphrase Lt. Gen. Henry "Trey" Obering, the recently retired director of the Missile Defense Agency: "When all else fails -- when all the negotiations have broken down -- you must be able to destroy a missile in the air. Otherwise, all you can do is apologize to those who died."
In matters of life-and-death import, like missile defense, "I screwed up" won't cut it.

We've been asked to serve as the house band for the Paul Simon Tribute at Carnegie Hall, NYC on March 31, 2014. The concert is a benefit organized by Michael Dorf of NYC's City Winery benefiting groups who do critical work promoting and developing musical training and audience opportunities for youth around New York City. These groups include: The American Symphony Orchestra's Music Notes, Church Street School for Music & Art, Young Audiences New York, FIKS (Fixing Instruments for Kids in Schools), Little Kids Rock, and The Center for Arts Education. The list of performers and collaborators is pretty amazing, from rock to folk to soul, punk and funk. Each of the performers will be performing a Paul Simon piece from his 57+ year career. We'll be backing some but not all of the performers for the concert, so it should be interesting, fun, and adventurous as is the case any time we step outside of our typical musical environment. The list of confirmed performers includes: Josh Ritter, Joe Henry, Bob Mould, Ben Sollee, Dan Wilson, Bettye LaVette, Joy Williams, Brett Dennen, Madeleine Peyroux & Jon Herington, Allen Toussaint, Judy Collins, Isobel Campell & Andy Cabic, Antibalas, and others to be announced.
If you can't make it to Carnegie Hall, there's also a warm-up concert the night before (on March 30) at City Winery with some, but not all of the performers from the Carnegie performance the following night.
Please join us!

Yikes, was everyone else aware that the holiday buying season is almost over? The good news: there are plenty of good-looking comics to give as gifts. The bad news: there isn't a lot of time! Here are a few noteworthy, stand-out books that would make perfect presents for the comics reader in your life.
For the music buff: The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story by Vivek J. Tiwary, Andrew C. Robinson, and Kyle Baker: The cultural fascination with the Fab Four will never wane so long as new stories continue to be unearthed and told. Here, The Beatles' manager and visionary, Brian Epstein, receives his due in this dreamy, eccentric graphic novel. There are three editions of this book, depending on how "fab" you want to get: standard hardcover edition (and digital edition), a collector's edition (with bonus materials), and a limited edition (only 1,500 copies) with a slipcase, bonus materials, and a signed tip-in sheet by writer Tiwary.
For the goofball: Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh. This famously bizarre and manic webcomic is finally available as a collection (with new stories!) and it does not disappoint. Amazon editor Mari Malcolm had this to say in her glowing review: "Neurosis has rarely been so relatable and entertaining." Brosh captures her childhood and adult awkwardness in deceptively simple illustrations, allowing for a universal appeal and accessibility. Parp!
For the lit major: This is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz was already a critical hit when it first published in September 2012, but this new slipcased edition includes illustrations by beloved indie artist Jaime Hernandez (Love and Rockets). There are full-page illustrations for each story, and Hernandez's deep, economical lines perfectly suit Diaz's layered tales [Hope I find this one under the tree!]. Speaking of layered stories, if your special someone does not yet have a copy of The Sandman on his or her shelf, now is the time to remedy such a void with The Sandman Omnibus Vol. 1 by Neil Gaiman. Presented in a sturdy, richly detailed hardcover (with over 1,000 pages), this is the gift edition to make any Grinch's heart swell.
For the history buff: The Boxer Rebellion is told from two perspectives in Boxers & Saints (Boxed Set) by Gene Luen Yang. Appearing on many Best of the Year lists (including ours), Yang's ambitious examination of the human condition as told through one of the most controversial moments in Chinese history is not as daunting a read as it sounds. Rather, this is a treasure, both in narrative and packaging.
For the superhero fan: Daredevil Vol. 1 by Mark Waid and Paolo Rivera and Hawkeye Vol. 1 by Matt Fraction and David Aja: Two street-level heroes received fresh starts in 2013, and these handsome hardcovers collect their very accessible, humorous and visually inventive stories. They both belong on the shelves of any super-fan. (For more on Hawkeye, see our Omni spotlight.)
For the adventurer: Say that special someone in your life has a thirst for the wild, then Dark Horse Comics has two gigantic releases that will sate the thirstiest of readers. The first is Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan: The Sunday Comics, 1931-1933 by Hal Foster—and it's a doozy! It weighs almost eight pounds and its format is newspaper-sized, making this an object special enough to shout from the treetops. The second tome is The Colossal Conan, a massive, 13-pound (!) omnibus that collects all of writer Kurt Busiek's run with Robert E. Howard's iconic character. At over 1,200 pages, even the most voracious appetites will be in the shadow of this beast.
Happy Holidays, Omni readers!

Dear Omnivoracious,
I love your new blog! Perhaps your readers, like me, would like to see more thrillers. Since I didn't notice any mention of new techno-thrillers, you might be interested in one that's centered on the human genome - it's GRIDLOCK. Based on real science, GRIDLOCK is a book thriller that took seven years of research.
"Alvin Ziegler's GRIDLOCK is just what the Dr. ordered for any reader looking for a fast-paced thriller that features hard science and up-to-the-minute medical research. Give this a read! You won't be sorry." --Seth Harwood, Author of JACK WAKES UP

The good dreams are more painful than the bad ones. Because every time Max Mancini dreams something good — like Molly being OK — he is inevitably reminded that, in fact, Molly's gone. "I wake up and have to relive the whole thing over again," Mancini says.
Mancini, 27, an accomplished Colorado freeskier, bears a four-inch scar on the right side of his head from the car accident. It also left him with a crushed skull, broken ribs and lingering neurological problems that occasionally cause him to trail off in mid-conversation. But Mancini is coping with these things.
Reconciling his mind is another matter. Because on the afternoon of Sept. 30, 2007, Max Mancini survived when Molly Jackson — then six months pregnant and the love of Mancini's life — did not. In the two years since that day Mancini has undergone countless hours of therapy, trying to, as he explains it, "relearn who I am."

Great Short Films - Sam Taylor-Wood's Love You More
by Alex Billington
September 4, 2008
It was the first night of Telluride and I decided to catch a screening of a film called Kisses. Right on time the lights dimmed, and without an introduction the film started. But after about 2 minutes, it seemed clear that this wasn't Kisses. Did I go to the wrong movie? Did they put in the wrong reel? Eventually I realized it was the short that preceded Kisses, titled Love You More, but instead of loathing every minute, I ended up loving every minute. Love You More is a 15 minute short film directed by Sam Taylor-Wood about two high school kids in 1978 who end up together while listening to the newly released Buzzcocks single "Love You More". So why am I writing about it? Even after 5 days, it's still one of the most memorable things I saw.
This is probably the very first time I've ever mentioned a short film in FS.net history. And that's because this was such a great little short that I had to write something about it, especially when I discovered that it had an entire website and a short preview online. Not only was it one of my favorite films of Telluride, but I haven't been able to forget it ever since. It does have some rather graphic sex, but it was just a cool little short that I thoroughly enjoyed and there's nothing more to it. I've featured the preview below and a little bit of info afterwards as well. Hopefully everyone will have the chance to see this in its entirety.
After watching this short, I realized that I was familiar with the name of the director, Sam Taylor-Wood, and tried to figure out where I had heard of her previously. After some quick research, I discovered that it's Taylor-Wood who is directing the upcoming John Lennon biopic titled Nowhere Boy that was just announced last week. That film is being written by Matt Greenhalgh, the same guy who wrote the Ian Curtis biopic Control from last year. Control was also directed by a visual-artist-turned-director named Anton Corbijn, and now Taylor-Wood is following the same path. I can definitely say that I'm excited to see what she'll do with John Lennon and The Beatles, considering this was such an enjoyable short film that certainly showed her capabilities as a director, albeit within just 15 minutes.
Love You More is the second film from visual artist Sam Taylor-Wood, known for her contemporary photography and video. The script was written by Patrick Marber, of Closer and Notes on a Scandal previously. This short first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and has been playing at numerous film festivals around the world. We expect it to debut online once it finishes touring.

Business Managers
Management is found in every industry, including food, clothing, banking, education, health care, and business services. All types of businesses have managers to formulate policies and administer the firm's activities. Managers may oversee the operations of an entire company, a geographical territory of a company's operations, or a specific department, such as sales and marketing.
Business managers direct a company's or a department's daily activities within the context of the organization's overall plan. They implement organizational policies and goals. This may involve developing sales or promotional materials, analyzing the department's budgetary requirements, and hiring, training, and supervising staff. Business managers are often responsible for long-range planning for their company or department. This involves setting goals for the organization and developing a workable plan for meeting those goals.
A manager responsible for a single department might work to coordinate his or her department's activities with other departments. A manager responsible for an entire company or organization might work with the managers of various departments or locations to oversee and coordinate the activities of all departments. If the business is privately owned, the owner may be the manager. In a large corporation, however, there will be a management structure above the business manager.
The hierarchy of managers includes top executives, such as the president, who establishes an organization's goals and policies along with others, such as the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief information officer, executive vice president, and the board of directors. Top executives plan business objectives and develop policies to coordinate operations between divisions and departments and establish procedures for attaining objectives. Activity reports and financial statements are reviewed to determine progress and revise operations as needed. The president also directs and formulates funding for new and existing programs within the organization. Public relations play a big part in the lives of executives as they deal with executives and leaders from other countries or organizations, and with customers, employees, and various special interest groups.
Although the president or chief executive officer retains ultimate authority and responsibility, a manager called a chief operating officer or COO may oversee day-to-day activities. Other duties of a COO may include serving as chairman of committees, such as management, executive, engineering, or sales.
Some companies have an executive vice president, who directs and coordinates the activities of one or more departments, depending on the size of the organization. In very large organizations, the duties of executive vice presidents may be highly specialized. For example they may oversee the activities of business managers of marketing, sales promotion, purchasing, finance, personnel training, industrial relations, administrative services, data processing, property management, transportation, or legal services. In smaller organizations, an executive vice president might be responsible for a number of these departments. Executive vice presidents also assist the chief executive officer in formulating and administering the organization's policies and developing its long-range goals. Executive vice presidents may serve as members of management committees on special studies.
Companies may also have a chief financial officer or CFO. In small firms, the CFO is usually responsible for all financial management tasks, such as budgeting, capital expenditure planning, cash flow, and various financial reviews and reports. In larger companies, the CFO may oversee financial management departments, to help other managers develop financial and economic policy and oversee the implementation of these policies.
Chief information officers, or CIOs, are responsible for all aspects of their company's information technology. They use their knowledge of technology and business to determine how information technology can best be used to meet company goals. This may include researching, purchasing, and overseeing the setup and use of technology systems, such as intranet, Internet, and computer networks. These managers sometimes take a role in implementing a company's Web site.
In companies that have several different locations, managers may be assigned to oversee specific geographic areas. For example, a large retailer with facilities all across the nation is likely to have a number of managers in charge of various territories. There might be a Midwest manager, a Southwest manager, a Southeast manager, a Northeast manager, and a Northwest manager. These managers are often called regional or area managers. Some companies break their management territories up into even smaller sections, such as a single state or a part of a state. Managers overseeing these smaller segments are often called district managers and typically report directly to an area or regional manager.

Solid-state disk (SSD) storage has been creeping into cloud data centers because of its efficient and fast retrieving capabilities, and vendors are slowly starting to roll out more SSD solutions to make cloud services operate at peak efficiency. The latest expansion into the market is Intel (INTC), which unveiled the Solid State Drive DC S3500 Series this week at the Cloud Computing Expo in New York.
Intel is no stranger to the SSD market, but this line of SSD offerings is geared toward cloud data centers. Although SSD has had great success in the consumer device market on mobile devices, SSD is still a growing concern within the data center realm because of its higher prices. Things seem to be changing, though, as our sister site The VAR Guy pointed out (kind of strange to call The VAR Guy a "sister site.")
According to Intel, the new SSDs give cloud data centers the ability to save significant costs by moving to an all-SSD storage model. That may not be entirely feasible for all cloud data centers yet, but it's easy to imagine the growing trend in SSD becoming the dominant form of storage in time—particularly as organizations shift more and more to the cloud and expect more efficient and faster services.
"The Intel SSD DC S3500 Series breaks through barriers—like the need for high throughput/low latency storage with a low total cost of ownership—to deliver the storage solution that meets the needs of the cloud, and its demand for storage, which has exploded in recent years," said Rob Crooke, Intel corporate vice president and general manager for the Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group, in a prepared statement. "Intel's data center family of SSDs helps make cloud computing faster and more reliable, enabling more transactions and richer experiences."
That's the goal, anyway. The drives will range in size from 80GB to 800GB, and the price tags will start at $115 and cap out (so far) at $979. That's still a significant cost increase over traditional magnetic storage, although less than what SSDs were priced at just a couple of years ago, so for the time being, it's likely this will remain the purview of premium cloud services. Over time, though, as prices continue to fall, expect that to change.

OCP ink for Epson 1400?
Sep 26, 2010
I currently have the original ink that came with my CIS in it, and I plan to soon replace it with some InkJetFly ink. I figured I would also give OCP ink a shot to see how I like it. My one problem is that I can't seem to find OCP ink for this particular printer. I see people mention here and there using OCP ink for it, but they never give details. The best I can find is OCP saying it is under development. Does that mean people are just using inks made for other printers? If so, which ones work best and should I try that?
One other question. I assume I would have to purge what little ink remains before switching types, right? How do I go about doing that? In case you can't tell, I'm VERY new to the whole CIS thing.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Perry's money test
Juana Summers flags Rick Perry's latest thoughts about a 2012 decision:
"One of the tests that I put in front of folks and myself is are there going to be people who will make resources available so that you don't run out there and embarrass yourself and/or those people who have said they'll help you," Perry said. "That is still going on. That answer is still yet to be formulated."
As we've reported, Perry appears to be getting mixed responses in the New York donor world about a potential run, but it's expected he'd be able to raise heavily from the thick well of Texas campaign cash.
Story Continued Below
UPDATE: Jason Embry also has some added detail about a meeting that Jonathan Martin and I reported some major GOP donors are having about a potential Perry run in Austin today, including that the governor will meet up with the group for dinner tonight.

Are You Willing to "Freeze for Life"?
By. Steve Hartman
Some people dash like warriors while others run marathon after marathon in order to help raise money for charitable causes. Would you water ski in a nearly frozen lake to benefit pancreatic cancer research?
That's what the "Freeze for Life" event is hoping you would do. Earlier this month at Gage Marine on Geneva Lake in Wisconsin participants were able to take a lap around the lake on water skis even as wind chill temperatures were nearing negative territory. If water skiing isn't your thing you can try wakeboarding, surfing or tubing as well in these frigid waters.
So, how did this all begin? It started a few years ago after a teacher who taught for 37 years lost his life to pancreatic cancer. To honor him, this event was created. With the money raised, "Freeze for Life" will be donating 100% of the proceeds to college scholarships for local students as well as cancer research.
A lap goes for about seven minutes which is estimated to be the longest you can push your body to this extreme of discomfort. Waiting for you at the end though is a warm towel and a hot tub.
The five hour event brings in over 300 people and raises around $25,000.
Would you be willing to take on this lap in the freezing cold temperatures for charity?

The latest Nike Air Max A Lot comes to us in a colorway that's most true to the mid-late '90s sneakers it's based on. Both the Air More Uptempo and Air Pippen II came in black/red palettes to match Scottie Pippen's Chicago Bulls uniforms, so it's only natural to see a bred Max A Lot. It'll probably be a while before either of this sneaker's parents are retroed again, so grab a pair of these today from Finish Line.
