London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 30, 2009 -- CVA or company voluntary arrangement is a viable solution for companies with large cash problems.There are many similarities between individual voluntary agreement (IVA), stroke, but the most striking difference is that an individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) is a personal bankruptcy cases, whereas CVA is designed for companies with limited liability.
Once the CVA has been agreed and adopted at a meeting of creditors, the directors are aware that the attention and care should be provided for the maintenance of stroke for the entire duration of the contract, which can be as long as 5 years.
Directors need to make decisions before and during the stroke, which help protect society, the reconstruction and sale of realistic and achievable profits.
It is important to demonstrate that there is a real desire to creditors, not just the interests of the company at heart, but also to the interests of the creditors to maximize reimbursement.
If the company faces other problems, while the stroke is not always an unbeatable location. If the company is still considered to be feasible, it is possible to reconvene the meeting of creditors at any time request the amendment of the original creditor CVA.It is also important to remember that as an individual voluntary arrangement (IVA ) have no significant changes in the activities of the company, the leader must be informed.
Once the company voluntary arrangement [http://www.iva-debtadvicesolutions.co.uk/company_voluntary_arrangement.html] has been successfully completed, a decision to allow the occupation, and in the IVA, an unsecured debt have been repaid in full from the CVA are written off.The limited company is now fulfilled its legal agreement and is free to move forward, Debt Free.

Angie, Garbine, Serena and the rest: a review of the 2016 women's season
With the WTA Finals now behind us and the Fed Cup the only major title still to be decided, we look back on the women's tennis season.
Kerber rises to the top
Angelique Kerber had quite a year. Having never previously made any of the six major finals, the German appeared in five of them, winning the Australian and US Open titles and finishing runner-up at Wimbledon, the Olympic Games and the WTA finals. It was a breakthrough season that seemed altogether unlikely in the early stages of the Australian Open, especially when she came within a single point of elimination in the third round.
That match ultimately proved to be the turning point of her outstanding season, the only downside of which came at the French. Struggling with a shoulder injury, she went down to a first-round defeat to springtime sensation Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands, who went all the way to the semi-finals.
At the age of 28 years and eight months, Kerber became the oldest player to reach the top of the women's rankings for the first time, unseating none other than Serena Williams in the process. And she did so with perfect timing, right at the very end of a season of which Williams herself would have been proud.

Muguruza joins the big hitters
Garbine Muguruza responded to the loss of the opening set of her French Open first-round match against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in the most emphatic style possible, going on to win 14 sets on the spin and thereby seal her maiden Grand Slam title.
After defeating the Slovakian 3-6 6-3 6-3, the Spaniard saw off Myrtille Georges 6-2 6-0, Yanina Wickmayer 6-3 6-0 and 2009 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3 6-4 in a match of the highest quality. She then disposed of Shelby Rogers 7-5 6-3, last-four regular Samantha Stosur 6-2 6-4, and world number one Serena Williams 7-5 6-4 in the final.
Though her season contained the occasional low note, that stunning run showed her ability to peak at just the right moment and on the biggest of stages.

Records keep coming for Serena and Venus
As seasons go, 2016 was not the greatest for the Williams. Even so, it still brought Serena a 22nd Grand Slam title at Wimbledon (equalling Steffi Graf's Open era record), runners-up slots at the Australian and French Opens, a 309th victory in Grand Slam matches (surpassing the record of 306 jointly held by Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer), and a 186th consecutive week at the top of the WTA Rankings, equalling another Graf record.
As for Venus, it was a season in which she made a record-breaking 72nd Grand Slam appearance and also stepped out for a record 19th time at the French. Just for good measure, she landed a record fifth Olympic medal at Rio 2016, picking up mixed doubles silver to go with the golds she won in the singles in 2000 and in the doubles in 2000, 2008 and 2012.
The siblings also combined to land the Wimbledon doubles crown, the 14th Grand Slam title they have won together. And if that does not exactly represent a vintage season for the Williams, it just goes to show how high they have set their standards over the best part of the last two decades.

Puig scores a sensation
In scooping women's singles gold at Rio 2016, Monica Puig sprang an even bigger surprise than Chile's Nicolas Massu did in Athens 12 years ago. Ranked only 34th in the world, the 22-year-old Puerto Rican disposed of French Open winner Muguruza and two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova before seeing off soon-to-be world number one Kerber in the final. In pulling off the biggest shock in the history of Olympic women's tennis, the disbelieving Puig became the Caribbean island nation's first female medal winner.
Historic moment: first gold medal ever for Puerto Rico. @MonicaAce93 @ComiteOlimpico pic.twitter.com/zv1IqSuArI— Olympics (@Olympics) 16 septembre 2016
Cibulkova saves best till last
The heel injury Dominika Cibulkova sustained last year saw her WTA ranking plummet to 66th back in February. Yet by the time October came around, the Slovakian was winning in Linz and on the verge of making her first ever appearance at the WTA Finals in Singapore, where she capped a remarkable turnaround in her fortunes by winning the title.
Though she lost two of her round robin matches, Cibulkova advanced to the semi-finals on account of having a superior set average to Simona Halep and Madison Keys. Her reward for then defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova in three sets (1-6 7-6 6-4) was a place in the final against the season's star performer, Angelique Kerber.
In securing an unexpected straight-sets win (6-3 6-4) over the German, Cibulkova joined respective 1982 and 2015 champions Sylvia Hanika and Agnieszka Radwanska as the only players to have won the WTA Finals without having ever lifted a Grand Slam title. It should not be forgotten, however, that Kim Clijsters, Amélie Mauresmo and even Chris Evert were also once in that category.
What a way to end! @Cibulkova is the @WTAFinalsSG champion for 2016 #WTAFinals pic.twitter.com/vCsPM8D0qy— WTA (@WTA) 30 octobre 2016
Pliskova makes her entrance
Karolina Pliskova was a key player in the mid-season battle between Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber for top slot in the WTA Rankings. In beating the German in the Cincinnati final, Pliskova ensured Williams would momentarily remain number one, but in then beating the American in the US Open semi-finals, she allowed Kerber to move out front as the world's leading player.
As those performances showed, and in coming within three games of the US title before going down 6-3 4-6 6-4 to Kerber, the Czech has what it takes to one day join the fight for top spot herself. It remains to be seen if twin sister Krystina, currently 61st in the world and a WTA event winner in Tashkent this season, can climb up alongside her.

Mother-to-be Azarenka bounces back
After scaling the heights in 2012 and 2013, during which she proved Serena Williams' most persistent rival, and then suffering two injury-ravaged seasons, Victoria Azarenka stormed back on to the scene with wins at Indian Wells and Miami. But the Belarusian's season came to an early end at the French Open, though for the best possible reason, as she announced that she was pregnant. The question is, will the 27-year-old return to the top after giving birth? Kim Clijsters proved it can be done, winning three Grand Slam titles after becoming a mother.

Doubles honours evenly spread
The women's doubles season was dominated by four different pairings, with each taking their turn in the spotlight. The year began with Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza taking the Brisbane, Sydney, Australian Open and St Petersburg titles before France's Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic took over on clay, with victories in Charleston, Stuttgart, Madrid and at the French Open.
Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina then ruled the roost in the Americas, emerging victorious in Montreal and at Rio 2016 before taking the WTA Finals crown, while Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova took the US Open honours and also triumphed in Wuhan and Beijing. And the end of it all, only 300 points separated the top five in the WTA Doubles Rankings (Mirza, Garcia, Mladenovic, Hingis and Mattek-Sands), with the French duo topping the Road to Singapore Doubles Leaderboard.

Unanswered: MultiRow select to SingleRow output?
Here is what I want to do.
I have a customer table with say id, firstname, lastname. I also have another table called phone number that contains multiple phone numbers based on the customer id (id, customerid, phonenumber).
Ok I want to output a record like this
firstname, lastname, phone1, phone2, phone3
I need one record per customer with as many phone numbers as they may have, I could always limit the numbers to 3 or better yet return a null if there are less then the predefined number of phone numbers.
If I try a simple join I get multiline output which is no good for me.
SELECT firstname, lastname, phonenumber
FROM customer, phone
WHERE phone.customerid = customer.id

Product Documents
Bor8 Rods can be inserted into any wood surface in a staggered, linear or angled pattern.
- Determine the number of Bor8 Rods required. Starting 2 inches from a joint or the end of the wood, the entire length of the wood should be covered in order to ensure moisture will evenly distribute the preservative throughout the target area. Do not exceed 12 inches on center for linear spacing along the grain and do not exceed 4 inches for spacing across the grain.
- Drill appropriate sized holes to accommodate the predetermined number and size of Bor8 Rods required. For a snug fit and to ensure even distribution, drill the holes 1/16 inch greater in diameter than the preservative rods. In addition, to allow for expansion, leave a minimum of 1/8 inch of air space between Bor8 Rods and plug.
- Insert the suitable size and number of Bor8 Rods into the holes.
- Seal the hole with a treated wood dowel, wood filler or caulk.
- After installation, paint or any other type of surface coating may be applied to the wood if desired. Install Bor8 Rods in the general vicinity of where the potential for decay is greatest or where decay exists.

Swain Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey yall! my first build so dont cyber bully me to death. Tell me what u think!
Swain is one of the most underrated chaps in LoL history. When he solos mid he is virtualy unrivaled. The fact is that with these runes and masteries he will be an early tank, and as an early tank he still does verry good damage with his spells. He can take out ashe from karth, ryze ro ezreal. And this build will show you how.
Swain is a powerful champion that can do some massive damage in spells but also has some amazing survivability due to his ult. But he needs to have a good amount of health, MR, and armor to help him along with that. I take magic penatration for the annoying other tanks like mundo and galio who stack enough MR to reduce your spells potential to a freakin annoying degree. These runes will help swain become a well rounded slaying machine.
I used to always get mostly offence runes because i thougt it would help out my AP. DO NOT GET OFFENCE RUNES WITH ANYONE WHO IS MAINLY AP! The offence runes, as i found out a while ago, really only help attack. So when we go with mainly defence runes, we actualy start out with one more ap then we would have with offence. I take preserverence and expanded mind due to the fact that swain is a verry mana and helth reliant champ.
I like these items because they dont only make him good MR and decent health but they also give him some stuff on his AP. Now im not saying that he will be able to nuke like ryze but if you play him right you should be able to take on almsost any champion 1v1. And you will be increidibly effective in team fights from ur ult and your survivibilty and damage. First of all the RoA. I think this is a verry effective item for Swain due to the fact that he needs ap helth and mana, and this item gives a good amount of those things. Its a great startup item. Next you get Rylei's. This is SUPER important as it works amazingly with your ult and can help in either running or chasing. Next we get Bansheees for health, mana, good MR and his kick Michal Jaxons butt passive. After that i get Zhonyas hourglass for that modest bit of armor, a nice bit of AP and a kick Elvis Presleys butt passive. This passive is great if u are being chased or want to get targeted. Especialy if u are low health and are in a battle. Just shove on ur ult in the middle of enemies, turn on the hourglass, then flash out. An instant heal and damage to the enemy. And last but not least I get the Abyssal Scepter
for AP, a nice bit of MR, and a passive that makes it easier to kill annoying tanks who stack MR. Now you might all be wondering why i dont go for a dethcap or a Archangels staff. Its really just because swain isnt a natural tank so to get him near it we need all the defence he can get. And for those who think having his ult on for an hour is cool, well its not. The defence items will save your skin a lot more then the loads of ult time a Archangles would give you.
Skill Sequence
Swains skills really all work together. He doesnt have a dominant skll like karthus or ahse that you want to max out first. When you do this it throws your whole game out of balance. He needs to have a balance of all his skills together which is why i dont recomend you follow the skill sequence i put up there for every game. IN GENERAL IT WORKS. But if you feel you are fighting idiots who dont know how to move then by all means max out nevermore. Or if you are figting a reall annoying quick team with ashe and/or teemo you might want to get the other two spells instead. He really just depends game to game. Usualy the best thing for swain will be the second you get level six to catch them in nevermore, shove on your ult then throw Torment and Decrepify at them. It should easily bring them to half health. This wouldnt work if you only maxed torment for example and ignored the other two, it just wouldnt work. Swain needs balance.
Summoner Spells
Now i used to get ignite every game with swain and i pretty much always got first blood, just because Decripify and Torment both work really well with it. but you will find in later game that flash is a thousand times more useful. Just because swain really is not good at getting our of sticky situations and flash will do that for you. Now some people argue that cleanse is good with him, but swain is so long ranged that you can do the same stuff if you just flash out and turn around and attack. I chose teleport because swain can be amazing solo and is verry good at pushing enemies off your tourets. Many times enemies will be attacking one of my side tourets when i teleport in. thinking it is just one of the other people they wont expect a fully charged swain to jump in with his ult on blasting spells left and righ with his cane. You can esily get one or two kills from this. Besides teleport can just be useful for grabbing a banshees and coming back fast.
Unique Skills
Swains best advantage is that he gets underrated. Use your ult and shove all ur spells into one squishy boob and the whole team will fear you.
Team Work
Swain is best mid. Thats just a fact. But he can be good side with a Xin Zao or a Jarvan. i have had many succesful games whith these champs as partners. Yi or Trynd might not work as well because they are so squishy and dont have reliant CC's. But if you need to lane just play safe. Once you get Rylai's you are an eccelent Ganker and should be bashing bot and top as much as possible. Dont be afraid to charge two other champs if ur ult is on and u have mana. but make sure your team is ready to help you. In many battles when i gank two people they try to kill me fast before my teamates come and engage, but my ult will make sure i stay alive and do a considerable amount of damage befor my team arrives. This will work a million times better if u have Rylais.
Pros / Cons
-Good spell range
-Good spell damage
-good at ganking
-long cooldowns

Kapler stops hating, now willing to say Yankees are contenders
Transitioning from a player to media member requires that we leave our rose-colored glasses and personal loyalties out of our analysis.
Playing in Boston for several years and then in Tampa for two, I learned to know and hate the Yankees. It's extremely difficult to avoid taking on the personality traits of the fans in the city you represent.
In the Red Sox clubhouse in 2003 and '04, we talked openly about how much we hated the Yankees and some of their players. We were an extension of the Fenway faithful who bypassed T-shirts bearing their own logo for garb that read "Yankees Suck."
It was in our best interest as players to not be too friendly with the teams we regularly competed against. It's a whole lot easier to drive a stake through the heart of an enemy than your very likeable buddy. As a player, this enmity was praised and celebrated. As a media member, it's an obstacle and a liability.
Evaluating myself, I don't believe I've been totally unbiased when it comes to evaluating the New York Yankees. I may have had no choice but to despise them when I was on the field, and later as a member of an MLB club off the field, but now, as a man paid to analyze baseball, it's time for me to acknowledge that I've been unfairly (and, in most cases, unconsciously) hammering the organization and its major league club in particular.
Early in the season, Frank Thomas and I chatted on MLB Whiparound about which teams might sit atop the AL East at season's end. I realize now that the second "Yankees" came out of Big Frank's mouth, I built my case about why his statement was absurd. Whether or not it actually was is immaterial. The fact that I stopped listening to him is notable.
As of this writing, the Yankees boast the highest K% in the American League, the second-best FIP, and the lowest BB% in all of baseball. The staff is essentially controlling the elements it can control — the homer, walk and strikeout. Before I even glance at ERA to predict what happens going forward, I'll study these three stats.
Rather than trumpeting the fact that these Yankees have been exceptional on the bump thus far in 2014, I've done the opposite by illuminating their age and the inexperience of their staff. I've been blinded by my personal history as a player and have been uncharacteristically unscientific, leaning on anecdotes rather than metrics.
I'm ashamed.
I'm aware of fans in Boston and Tampa and how they might view my endorsement of the Yankees, but it's time for me to remember that my obligations have changed. I no longer reside in Boston; I call FOX Sports home.
Now, it's perfectly acceptable to hate other media conglomerates, but it's no longer acceptable for me to hate the Yankees. I will never face Vidal Nuno. Yangervis Solarte will never dive to his left, robbing me of a base hit.
On that note, I'm not alone. Media members are consistently accused of being "homers." It's relatively difficult to picture Hines Ward objectively discussing the Steelers-Ravens rivalry or Phil Simms musing gleefully about the Eagles. It's important that we acknowledge those previous biases and work to move beyond them.
In observing myself further, I'm recognizing that I have other biases that absolutely need work. I consider myself to be progressive as an analyst. As a result, I'm finding myself rolling my eyes and turning off as I listen to more traditional philosophies on player development, scouting and analytics.
What a waste of energy, being annoyed at another's viewpoint. An old-school scout's ability to identify baseball speed or "instincts" without a stopwatch, first-to-third times and stolen-base success rates is to be celebrated rather than lamented.
Perhaps he can show me how it's done intuitively and I can introduce him to the value of backing his hypothesis up with data. This is only possible with open conversation.
We as a society love to pit one against another and choose sides. Yankees vs. Red Sox, Miggy vs. Trout, old school vs. new school, organic vs. conventional. These debates can be healthy and productive provided we stay open and objective.
In my new world of analyzing baseball, said objectivity and open mindedness is not just responsible, it's essential.
I'll take my first step now.
Based on the aforementioned pitching, the wOBA about as good as the Orioles, a bullpen striking out substantially more batters than the AL's second club in this category, Baseball Prospectus' playoff odds pegging the club at 47 percent and the team's ability to take on a bad contract at the deadline, I'll say now that they Yankees will be in the AL East race in September.
How's that for unbiased … and safe?
Below is a video of Gabe and Frank's predictions before the season started.

I'm always looking for new pizza recipes, as homemade pizza is such an easy and versatile meal, especially if you already have balls of pizza dough ready in your freezer. I love mushrooms on my pizza, but had never tried a recipe with portobello mushrooms. Lately I've also been loving the flavor that goat cheese brings to a dish, so when I saw this pizza with portobellos, spinach, and goat cheese, I immediately put it on our weekly menu.
This pizza was delicious. It had tons of flavor from the portobellos, along with some garlic and goat cheese. The spinach is placed underneath the cheese, which I'd never done before but it worked so well. It didn't dry out the way that it can when it's placed on top of the pizza, and you can put a lot of spinach on and hardly know it's there. Hidden nutrition is never a bad thing, right?

Pizza with Portobellos, Spinach, and Goat Cheese
Makes one 14-inch pizza
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 (4 to 5-inch-wide) portobello mushroom, stems and gills removed and brushed clean, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper
- 1 ball of whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce*
- 1 cup fresh spinach, torn into pieces
- 1 1/4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 5 ounces)
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (about 1 ounce)
- 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
*You can use store-bought pizza sauce or your own homemade recipe. I made an easy no-cook sauce for this pizza by combining 1 cup tomato sauce, a pinch of red pepper flakes, a little bit of dried basil and oregano, a pinch of salt, and a minced clove of garlic. It was delicious!
- Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position, place a baking stone on the rack and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Let the baking stone heat for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp. of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the portobellos, cover, and cook until wilted and wet, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the mushrooms are dry and browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper to taste and transfer to a bowl.
- Turn the ball of dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, and roll into a 14-inch round. Transfer the dough to a rimless baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly brush the outer 1/2-inch edge of the pizza dough with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edge. Sprinkle pizza with the spinach, mozzarella, goat cheese, Parmesan, and portobello mixture.
- Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees. Slide the parchment paper and pizza onto the hot baking stone. Bake pizza until the edges are brown and the cheese is golden in spots, 8 to 13 minutes.
- Remove pizza from the oven, slice, and serve.

wikiHow to Chant Om
Three Methods:Meditating AloudChanting Om SilentlyChanting as a GroupCommunity Q&A
"Om" or "Aum" is considered to be a universal sound that exists within every word, being and thing. Its origins are in Hinduism and Buddhism, and the chant is also used in yoga.[1] Chanting this sound can help to bring peace and calm to the body, mind and soul. Consider setting aside a time each day to meditate. Chant Om aloud or silently. Silent chanting is viewed as the most effective method because it does not rely on the external (voicebox, facial muscles or lips).[2]
Meditating Aloud
1Set a time of day for chanting. The ideal time to chant Om is first thing in the morning. However, you should choose a time when you believe you'll be the most relaxed and not in a hurry. Sunrise and sunset are great times for deep meditation.[3]
- Avoid chanting right after a meal.
2Decide how long you will chant. How long you choose to chant is up to you. Set a timer so that you are not focusing on the clock. Be determined to continue chanting until the timer goes off.[4]
- For example, you may choose to chant for five minutes, ten minutes, or half an hour.
3Find a calm place to sit in a comfortable position. Make sure the place will be free from distractions. A good position would be to sit on the ground cross-legged, or on your bed. Hold your back straight throughout. Close your eyes and keep them shut.[5]
- Consider arranging an area specifically for meditating, such as a corner of your bedroom or a separate room.
4Think about what Om represents before chanting. Om is said to represent the whole universe. It's considered to be the source of all creation. Om encompasses all time periods, from the past through to the present and into the future. Om is eternal oneness of mind, body and spirit with the universe.[6]
5Relax. Don't worry about chanting perfectly. Om is considered to be the vibration of the universe that no human voice can replicate exactly. The most important consideration is to chant in a relaxed way. Try to do this effortlessly; the more you focus on your effort and technique, the less effective it will be.[7]
- You may need to exert effort at first to clear your mind of thoughts until you master effortless Om chanting.
- Om is about feeling rather than thinking. Feel like peace, bliss and happiness are enveloping your whole body.
6Breathe normally. Repeat Om in a slow, rhythmic way when you exhale. You don't have to chant with every exhale. Match the length of each chant to the duration of your natural exhale.[8]
- For instance, you may chant Om, take a breath or two, and then chant again.
7Pronounce Om. The "O" sounds like the "a" sound in the word "saw," combined with the "u" sound in the word "put." Blend the "m" into the end. These sounds should all merge together into a single sound similar to the "ome" in "home."[9]
- Om is composed of four sounds: "a," "u," "m," and the silence that follows.
- Give equal measure to each sound. For example, "Ooommm" rather than "ommm" or "ooom."
8Draw the sound from your navel. Allow the vibration to rise upward gradually until it rings in your nostrils. Try to do this easily and naturally.[10]
Chanting Om Silently
1Meditate anytime, anywhere. Safety permitting, you can chant Om silently in just about any situation. For example, outside or at work. Sit comfortably and keep your body still. Relax your mind before you begin.[11]
2Chant as long as you feel like chanting. Whereas chanting aloud is usually a long and premeditated practice, chanting mentally is typically short.[12] For instance, you may chant Om for just two minutes while sitting inside your car in a parking space.[13]
- Silently chant Om whenever you feel like you need peace and centering.
3Chant with or without moving your lips. Consider the situation you are in. For instance, if you are in a movie theater, you can move your mouth with the silent chant. If you're in a board meeting, it's advisable not to indicate with your facial expressions that you're meditating.[14]
- If you're going to move your lips, open your mouth wide for the first two syllables. Then purse your lips together for the rest.[15]
- To chant without physically forming the word, repeat the mantra silently to yourself. Don't move your lips or tongue.
Chanting as a Group
1Find a group to chant with. There are over 500 Om chanting groups around the world. Look for a group by searching online for "find an Om chanting group." Or, enter your city or state and add the keywords "Om chanting group." Facebook and Meetup are a couple of places you can find such groups locally.[16]
- Look for Om chanting workshops where attendees sit in a circle and meditate together.
- Look for yoga classes near you. Some yoga classes chant Om before and/or after each yoga session and some don't, so call or email either the organization or the instructor, and ask if the group chants Om during class.
2Join your voice with the others. Try to feel relaxed but confident so your voice doesn't waver. Blend your voice with the chant of everyone so that it is one collective chant.[17]
- Have an open mind about pronunciation. If the group pronounces "Om" in a different way than you're used to, go with it. There is no incorrect way to pronounce "Om," as it differs based on factors like dialect and location. The aim is for everyone to match in tone for a group chant.[18]
- Approach the chant with a sense of reverence and surrender. This will help you to merge into the vibration of the group chant.[19]
3Lead a chant. Tell the participants that if they aren't comfortable chanting, they can meditate silently during the chant, or simply listen. View chanting as a connection to the meaning of the chant, rather than a performance. Take a few breaths before chanting and summon the positive feeling of the chant.[20]
- Try practicing alone before leading group chants.
- Add instrumental background music for the group chant if desired. Alternately, you can bring a recorded group chant to play in the background.

Overview of Our Methodology
At PriceCharting.com, our goal is to track the market price of all video games over time. We collect completed sales from eBay (listings without a buyer are not included). Listing data from Amazon and Half. And sales data from other online retailers.
We then combine this information to calculate the current market price.
How We Combine Sales & Listing Data to Determine Price
We use four methods to combine the sales and listing data based upon how often an item sells and how confident we can be in the price based upon the volume.
This table gives a brief summary and how often each method is used.
|% of Items
|Very Common
|1 Week Average of Sales
|Median Price Of Most Recent Sales
|Most Recent Sale
|No Price
|No price data seen
Below is a more detailed description of each method and example games that use those methods.
- Very Common: We use the average sales price if the volume is high enough that we can say the price is correct with 80% confidence. This is the most accurate method and is used on games like Madden 12 and Halo 3 that sell many copies every day.
- Common: When an item sells less than five times per week we use a method that gives median price of the most recent sales. This is used on games like Duck Tales 2 and Beyond Good and Evil.
- Rare: For items that sell very infrequently we use the most recent sale. This is generally used for items that sell less than once per year like Nintendo World Championships and Stadium Events.
Loose, Complete, and New Prices
We show prices for products in loose, complete (CIB), and new conditions. In order to determine the condition we look at the title and description for the listing.
- New always means brand new, still sealed in the original box. If a listing contains words like "New", "Sealed", or other similar words we classify it as "New".
- Complete means the item comes with the original box and manual. If the listing contains words like "Complete", "CIB", "Item, Box, and Manual", or other similar word patterns we classify it as "Complete".
- Loose means the item does not include the original box and/or manual. If the lising contains words like "loose", "game only", "disc only" or other similar words in the title or description. "Loose" also includes all listings where we cannot determine the condition based upon the title. "Loose" is the default because often times that is what the listing includes if more descriptive words are not in the title. And loose is our lowest condition rating.
If you do see a listing classified incorrectly please click the red 'X' next to the auction title and we will manually review it.
Shipping Costs Are Not Included
The prices shown do not include shipping costs or any other transaction related costs. The price shown is the prices people are paying for the products themselves. You can read more about why shipping costs are not included on our blog.
Removing Bad Sales Data & Flagged Listings
Our prices are based upon actual sales data but sometimes auctions are listed or classified incorrectly. We have two ways to combat this:
Automatically Removing "Junk" Sales: During an audit, roughly 65% of our valuation mistakes were caused by incorrectly listed
auctions. Something like selling a Famicom game as an NTSC game, listing game lots as individual games, or selling
reproductions of the real game.
Our bots now recognize certain keywords as "junk" and automatically remove them. Words like "Famicom", "Reproduction", and "Broken" are examples of junk keywords.
We automatically remove about 200 junk auctions every day.
Users Flagging "Junk" Sales: Some listings are very difficult for a computer to recognize as junk. For example
the auction title says nothing about the box and manual being included, but the photo shows the game is complete.
We rely on users flagging those listings by clicking the "Report" link next to them. Clicking that link flags the listing for manual review. We will then look at the listing and decide if it needs to be removed, reclassified, or left as is.
If you notice listing that is misclassified, please click the "Report" link. It will improve the prices for everyone.
The flag feature is only available for 90 days after the auction ends. At that point eBay removes the listing from their site so we can no longer verify the information.

Letter to The Honorable Dirk Kempthome, Secretary U.S. Department of the Interior
Kerry, 13 Senators Criticize Administration for Proposal to Weaken Endangered Species Act
Sen. John Kerry (D - MA), along with thirteen other Senators, yesterday sent a letter to the Bush Administration condemning their attempt to weaken Endangered Species Act (ESA) regulations.
The revision, which Interior Secretary Dick Kempthorne described as a "narrow regulatory change," would eliminate the requirement for independent scientific review of federal agency actions that could harm endangered plants and animals.
"These proposed changes undermine the Endangered Species Act which has been one of the most successful environmental laws in our nation's history," said Sen. Kerry. "This administration has had a consistently deplorable record of opposing environmental protections. We can't allow President Bush to do any more damage on his way out the door."
The letter was cosigned by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D - CA), Chair of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, Barbara Mikulski (D - MD), Ben Cardin (D - MD), Robert Menendez (D - NJ), Patty Murray (D - WA), Russ Feingold (D - WI), Chris Dodd (D - CT), Daniel Akaka (D - HI), Bernie Sanders (I - VT), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D- RI), Bill Nelson (D - FL), and Dick Durbin (D - IL).
"If adopted, these changes would seriously weaken the safety net of habitat protections that we have relied upon to protect and recover endangered fish, wildlife and plants for the past 35 years," the senators wrote in the letter. "We urge you to withdraw the proposal."
The full text of the letter is below:
October 14, 2008
The Honorable Dirk Kempthome Secretary
U.S. Department of the Interior
1849 C Street, NW
Washington, DC 20240
Dear Secretary Kempthome:
We strongly oppose the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) that appeared in the Federal Register on August 15, 2008. In spite of your assurances that this proposal is a "narrow regulatory change," the potential impact of this change would be both broad and profound. If adopted, these changes would seriously weaken the safety net of habitat protections that we have relied upon to protect and recover endangered fish, wildlife and plants for the past 35 years. We urge you to withdraw the proposal.
The existing ESA Section 7 consultation process prescribes a clear and appropriate role for the expert Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service (Services) in advising other federal agencies on the impact of agency projects on endangered species and habitat. In apparent contradiction to the statute, the new proposal weakens the role of the Services and would allow other federal agencies to independently determine whether their actions will jeopardize a listed species or result in damage to critical habitat. This level of agency discretion is not authorized under Section 7 of the ESA.
While the proposal claims that other agencies have the capacity and expertise to make these determinations, the Services have frequently overridden determinations by other agencies that the impacts of their actions will be benign. For example, earlier this summer, NMFS found "overwhelming evidence" that three agricultural pesticides are increasing the likelihood of extinction for 28 different threatened and endangered salmon stocks. This finding directly contradicted the Environmental Protection Agency's original determination of no threat to protected salmon stocks.
We strongly believe that the necessary expertise to evaluate the impact of federal actions on endangered species and habitat lies exclusively with the Services, and the delegation of their function is contrary to the letter and spirit of the ESA.
The proposal also redefines several key terms regarding Section 7 consultations. These new definitions would allow federal agencies to limit the scope of consultations or avoid them entirely. The changes to the term "indirect effects" are of particular concern. The proposal amends the definition of "indirect effects" by requiring that a given action must be an "essential cause" of those indirect effects in order to merit a consultation. This notion has repeatedly been rejected by the federal courts. Rather than allowing a federal agency to impose additional threats on an already-at-risk species, the Endangered Species Act stipulates that agencies have an affirmative obligation to protect and conserve species. Additional changes to the "indirect effects" definition - including the creation of the new legal standard of "clear and substantial information" - further minimize the likelihood that an agency would be required to seek consultation with the Services.
In shifting the burden of analysis away from the Services, the proposal would allow more agency actions to escape the scrutiny of the formal consultation process. This heightens the importance of the informal consultation process, which currently provides an efficient means of limiting unnecessary evaluation when an agency determines that its actions "are found not likely to adversely affect a listed species or critical habitat." However, this proposal makes additional, problematic changes to the informal consultation process. It allows an agency to perform a single informal consultation for related projects, or for segments of a given project. The agency would have the discretion to determine what projects are similar, or to segment a project to obfuscate the scope of an agency action and prevent consideration of its full effect.
Furthermore, the proposal establishes a new 60-day deadline for the Services to respond and approve or disapprove an agency's decision that there is no adverse impact and therefore no formal consultation is required. If this deadline is not met, the project would be permitted to proceed regardless of its impact on listed species. In light of GAO's 2004 finding that the Services suffer from significant staff vacancies, this time limit could allow projects that may pose jeopardy to move forward by default.
Quite simply, this proposal seeks to short-cut a full and complete evaluation at every stage of the assessment process, deliberately undermining the essential purpose of the ESA.
As a final note, the regulation explicitly states its intent to foreclose the consideration of climate change impacts on species. Given that polar bears, seals and other species dependent on sea ice already are imperiled by the impacts of climate change, the federal government will need a full suite of policy options to conserve and protect these species and their habitat. We should not arbitrarily limit our use of these tools without first evaluating the implications for our ability to address and respond to the full range of climate change impacts.
The ESA is a landmark conservation law that has provided critical protections for species on the brink of extinction for over thirty years. This proposal makes a sweeping set of changes that would serve to undermine the goals and functions of the ESA. We strongly urge you to withdraw this flawed proposal.

'WASTE AWAY' Little Mix petite pop star reveals how she battled anorexia
LITTLE Mix star Jade Thirlwall was left battling for her life as she fought anorexia.
The petite pop star, 23, started losing weight when she lost a close relative aged 13.
She was also bullied at school. Jade says in the group's book Our World: "My periods stopped and things were getting out of control but I don't think I really cared about what was happening to me.
"I felt so depressed at the time that I just wanted to waste away and disappear.
"I felt so depressed at the time that I just wanted to waste away and disappear"Jade Thirlwall
Anorexia is a self-destructive thing and you become stubborn, so when people are trying to tell you something you get it into your head that they're against you and you're not going to listen. "It took going to hospital to make me realise that it wasn't a game, it was something really serious.
"They sat me down in the clinic and were quite tough at first, spelling it out, 'You're destroying your body and if you keep doing this you will die'."
Bandmate Perrie Edwards told ITV's This Morning yesterday that she cannot smell her own farts. The 23-year-old said: "I wasn't born with a sense of smell, I don't know what happened. It's really bizarre, I can taste.
"So when I have food I can taste everything, every little ingredient."

BYU men's basketball: Cougars get back to winning ways with convincing victory over Portland
idablu Idaho Falls, IDJan. 27, 2013 9:27 a.m.
Yeah, I think Haws is still kind of messed up from the Gonzaga game. Something is certainly in his head.
cal cougar camarillo, CAJan. 27, 2013 12:35 a.m.
Carlino is really getting it. At the start of the year, all he could do was take contested 3's off the dribble. He now is using the entire court to score. Way to go Matt.
Haws will get it back. He just has lost some confidence against Gonzaga.
Brock Zylstra has all the talent in the world and will only take 3 pointers. If they don't go in, he is useless on offense. Take a lesson from Carlino and Haws about the midrange game. It is almost like he is too hard headed to change anything. So every third game will be a good one from him.
Davies is bouncing back which is awesome to see.
Turnovers were in the livable range tonight and offensive rebounds by Portland were at 10( a little too high). Box out.
And let me repeat, where is the beef? We need Kaufusi to compete with the big boys. I know he is not ready, but we don't have a choice. Let's get him ready to put the hurt on Gonzaga and St. Mary's. We need to be the aggressor instead of looking at refs to save us from the bully.
LonestarRunner Salt Lake City, UTJan. 26, 2013 11:30 p.m.
Nice bounce back win for the Cougars. Carlino is playing great. Haws still struggling.

Every once in a while a package from my mom arrives with a surprise inside for the kids. Once it was these little cuties, and another time it was Star Wars and Paw Patrol finger puppets. This past week it was a cute Christmas scene complete with its own box. I know that I can thank my dad for that contribution because it looks like one of his cigar boxes. My mom has some serious talents as she dreams up these little figures. I appreciate the up-cycled cigar box for the environmental aspect as well as the storage of this little set. My boys are very lucky to have such a talented grandma to make them toys.

Christmas Crafting – Day 11
I have been on a knitting binge recently, which means lots of leftovers. I haven't been feeding my family leftovers because of my knitting obsession, but rather I have a lot of leftover yarn. What do you do with the little scraps of leftover yarn? This is one project that uses leftover sock yarn. If you don't have big feet then this one is for you. On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love made for me…Knit Ornaments.
Christmas Crafting – Day 6
Today, I am turning the crafting over to the kids. They make ornaments for the family each year, and this year its melty bead ornaments. As they are getting a little older the crafts are getting a little more advanced and by advanced I mean they have moved beyond foam sticker crafts. On the 6th day of Christmas my true loves made for me…Beaded Ornaments.
Christmas Crafting – Day 5
Let me tell you a little secret, I make a lot of crafts from scratch but I also craft from kits. It's even better than baking from a box because everything is included. On the 5th day of Christmas my true love made for me…Felt Wreaths from a kit. Continue reading
Christmas Crafting – Day 4
"He's making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out whose naughty or nice"…on day 4 we are making a Naughty & Nice sign. I bought a naughty and nice sign a few years ago at Target (while they made their brief appearance in Canada), but someone naughty broke it. So I made a new one and pointed at the naughty party.
Christmas Crafting – Day 3
On the third day of Christmas my true love made for me…JOY. For a few years I have been photographing my friends and their families for Christmas. I make props and setup photo areas in my house. I made these JOY letter last year for the photoshoot, after which one of my kids broke the J. Which promoted me to yell "stop breaking my JOY".
Christmas Crafting – Day 2
On the second day of Christmas my true love made for me…A Santa pillow. I saw one of these in a store and it was more than $50.00, which is a little out of my snack bracket for a Christmas pillow. Knowing that I had 2 red cushion covers and inserts at home I figured that I could whip some up for a fraction of the cost. I am adding the stores where I got the supplies not because they are sponsoring this post but because if you want to make these it is advantageous to know where to get supplies.
Christmas Crafting – Day 1
For years I have been doing the 12 days of Christmas crafting, and will continue this year too. The 12 days of Christmas Crafting historically has been a mix of crafts, decorations and baking ideas. This will be year number 4, so there is quite an archive of ideas already on this blog and each day I will throw in past years projects as well. Let's kick off this year with the First Day of Christmas my true love made for me…Pom Pom Ornaments.

Unless noted, all of the child care facilities listed have ongoing enrollment as long as there are openings. Please note that some programs may fill up as early as January or February for the following fall. Typically, the age eligibility listed is the child's age as of September 1st of the upcoming school year. Many programs housed in religious institutions will give preference to members. Call for specific information if you are interested in a particular program.
By law, all child care agencies must be open to children with special needs. However, some facilities may work better for a child with special needs and this should be considered when making your decision.

Welcome to Footprints in Pixie Dust!
by T.M. Brown
- Follow us on Facebook: Footprints in Pixie Dust
- Follow us on Twitter: @footprintsinpd
- Follow us on Instagram: @footprintsinpd
I initially created Footprints as an outlet for myself and my love for writing. Over the years, our family has had some tremendous experiences, as well as some moments we wish we could have changed, and I thought that perhaps, by writing about those experiences, there may be someone out there who would appreciate hearing about of our adventures and who could find themselves having walked in similar footprints.
As I found it difficult to truly narrow down a focus for the site, I figured it would work to simply share the things that we love to do and what impacts our life in a tremendous way. We love to travel, we love Disney, we love seeing movies together and our life is consumed by food allergy awareness. Each of these tend to find a way to bleed into the other areas and it just made sense to keep them all, as they so much define our family unit.
In light of the above, I designed the blog to center around the following fairly traditional categories, as well as a few extras to add some more of a personal touch. You can find these categories to the left and by clicking on the drop down menu.
This one should be pretty self-explanatory. Nearly every family leads a crazy life and ours is no different. Here I share various unusual encounters, obstacles we have faced and victories we have had over the years.
Though we are currently living in the Northeast corner of the country, we have had the opportunity to travel coast to coast, north to south / east to west and have had some amazing experiences along the way. Here I share some of our spectacular adventures and how they have impacted us. If a restaurant cared for our son's food allergies, I want people to know about it. If it's a place I'd love others to explore, I want to share it!
Food allergies
Food allergies have been a part of our life for over a decade. We have seen them disappear and we have seen them intensify. We have learned the ins and outs of managing restaurants, theme parks, family events, school and the family dinner table ~ sometimes the hard way, but fortunately having survived to this point. Perhaps sharing our stories will encourage another food allergy family, inspire others or even educate the masses on how to view this health crisis that seems to be growing in our country.
Walt Disney World is a second home for our family as they take the time and make the effort to create a safe place for those with food allergies, as well as aim to inspire hope, joy and magic into everyone's life. I enjoy sharing reviews, experiences and tips on how to make the most of a trip to this amazing vacation spot.
This category will serve as an opportunity for our family to share our reviews on various restaurants, attractions, adventures and movie releases. As noted above, if the service was outstanding, we want to make sure others know about it.
T's Treasured Thoughts
It felt only appropriate to have a personal category that allows me the opportunity to share my heart or vent a little frustration ~ my own momma moments. No judgments needed ~ just an honest ear and an open heart…the same thing you would want from me.
Aaryn's Two Cents
This category was created for our middle son who enjoys sharing his own teenage perspective on events in our life. He does tend to spend a tremendous amount of writing time doting about Disney, but that's because he is as fascinated with Walt Disney's genius as his mother. Perhaps his teenage view will lend itself to assisting parents in their own trip planning with their teens.
As you enjoy the read, I hope that you find yourself either able to relate to at least a part of our journey or perhaps even walk away from the read just a little more educated on something not on the forefront of your mind. In the meantime, keep making memories and enjoying the journey set before you. I look forward to connecting with you through blog posts.

The Trail of Blue Ice takes hikers and cyclists into the heart of the United States' northernmost temperate rain forest. The trail captures the essence of Alaska with towering peaks and topaz colored glaciers above and wild salmon migrating in streams below.
The US Forest Service wanted a trail that would offer guests the opportunity to become at one with the forest. They wanted a trail that wound past glacial erratics, while treading lightly through the forest. Salmon runs had to be protected during construction and seasonal flooding had to occur unimpeded. One additional requirement: no imported topsoil or seed that might introduce undesirable species to the delicate vegetation hierarchy.
The project was a model of cooperation between Stantec's design team and our client. The determination of where various trail types would be used required an interactive on-site process. Clearing was limited to the direct trail footprint. As a result, there was no revegetation required. All gravel was from sources within the valley, ensuring the colors of trail surface materials matched the local soil palette and did not introduce weed seed.
The final result: five miles of beautiful, low-impact trail in pristine Alaska.

Tahoe City, CA. Alpine Meadows will host Jon Comer, Tony Hawk, and MikeVallely February 25 and 26. Working with filmer and director MattPowers of Southern California's Powers Philms, the three professionalskaters will document the life and skating career of Jon Comer. Thefilm's title, Never Been Done, is appropriate because Comer is the firstamputee to make a professional career of skateboarding.
Professional skaters Tony Hawk and Mike Vallely will accompany/interviewComer throughout the film. "His career and his skateboarding, and whohe is as a person needs to be put into proper perspective. He deservesthat," said Vellely. As one of skateboarding's most talented athletesas well as being a household name, Tony Hawk's endorsement will ensurenotoriety for the already incredible Jon Comer story.
Why Alpine Meadows Ski Resort for a skateboarding film? Comer, Hawk,and Vallely wanted to incorporate a snowboarding segment into the story.Alpine Meadows has revamped its entire terrain park and added asuperpipe for 2003, currently touting the most rails in Tahoe region.With an extensive variation of terrain park features combined withunique natural terrain and backcountry access, Alpine Meadows is fastbecoming Tahoe's most diverse mountain, popular with film crews withinthe ski and snowboard industries and otherwise.

a VirtualTourist member from Vila Real de Santo António
Could any kind person tell me if there is a bus from Sintra to Praia das Macas and if so what is the number. Many thanks.
It's the 441 operated by Scotturb.
The current timetable is here
note that this one starts from the transport interchange at the Portela de Sintra station which is about half a mile outside the town centre. Coming from Lisbon it's the stop before Sintra.
You might like to know that the old trams are running again this summer all the way from Sintra to Praia das Macas on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and this starts from nearer the middle of town and the Sintra Station.
Trams run about once an hour starting at 0920 in July and August, 1015 June and September last ones back 1900 July and August, 1800 June and September.
Many thanks Cubsur. Brilliant response!
This bus suggested by Cubsur has to be the same bus which one can readily take a few meters slightly just outside the Lisboa-Sintra-Lisboa train station.
Praia das Macas is my favorite beach around the Sintra coast.
The bus from Sintra passes thru Praia das Macas and ends up at the tiny village perced atop the rock, Azenhas do Mar, which you ought not missed while there. And the medieval looking wine-producing village of Colares is also highly worth a stop.

NW rallies to beat Pirates
Northwestern pitcher Tori Papp was hoping for an early lead in Friday's game against defending Colonial League champion Palisades.
But Pirate ace Krista Marrone made it close to impossible for the Tigers to honor that request holding them without a hit for the first five innings.
Unable to help out Papp early in the game, Northwestern made up for it late.
The Tigers rallied with a four-run sixth inning to stun the Pirates, 4-3.
"I told my teammates that we had to get on the scoreboard first," Papp said. "But, it obviously didn't happen that way. They got the first three runs, but what counts is that we came back.
"It was amazing. I still can't believe we pulled it out."
In the second inning, the Pirates' Jackie Gruber and Stacey Hanisek recorded base hits off of Papp. With two outs, Tiffany Hendricks delivered a triple to right field, which plated Gruber and Hanisek.
In the fifth, the Pirates' capitalized on a Tiger miscue to take a quick 3-0 lead. Ellie Giovino layed down a bunt, but because of a throwing error she made it all the way around to home plate as the ball rolled into right field.
"Early in game, I had a bad feeling," said Northwestern coach Jen Horner. "They got a couple of hits and we had some errors which didn't help.
"But, I kept telling them if we get a couple runners on and we get that one key hit that we have been looking for, we're going to pull this out. That's what happened. They kept fighting and Tori pitched a phenomenal game."
It took the Tigers until the sixth to finally zone in on Morrone's offerings. Katie Williams got things started by hitting a bullet down the third base line, which ended up going off the Pirates' Sam Sherrard's glove and rolling into foul territory.
With Williams sitting in scoring position, Tiger leadoff hitter Lauren Horner delivered an RBI-triple to right centerfield to put the home team on the scoreboard. Horner then crossed home plate herself when Nikki White reached on a Pirates' fielding error. Jackie Wear followed with the game's biggest hit, drilling a 1-2 pitch for an inside-the-park two-run homer.
"It was intense," Wear said. "I was trying to anticipate what pitch was coming next whether it was going to be a change-up or an inside fast ball. She threw a lot inside. But, once I got that hit to the outfield, I felt pretty good.
"It was an awesome feeling to come through for my teammates."
Papp and her defense then got the job done in the seventh to secure the victory. She was able to do so by retiring the side in order. In fact, Papp retired the final eight batters she faced after the Pirates scored in the fifth.

Albert Haynesworth wins battle, but everyone ultimately loses
Tuesday, December 7, 2010; 11:35 PM
When Prima Donna Player vs. Taskmaster Coach finally ended after 11-plus grueling months, Mike Shanahan's extra, beet-red complexion spared the ringside judges any work.
Albert Haynesworth won - by technical knockout.
He got his money.
He got out of doing a job for which he said his unique talents were unsuited.
He made the employer bend to meet his needs instead of the company's.
And with his Redskins career ostensibly over after being suspended for the remainder of the season, Haynesworth incredibly pulled off the parlay: He also gets the holidays off.
He does not have to suffer the drudgery of preparing for, in all likelihood, an unimportant game on the day after Christmas with teammates in Jacksonville.
Just as well, though. Cliches about teams being families aside, Haynesworth never behaved as if he considered his teammates kin.
The single, most expensive indictment of owner Daniel Snyder's shopping addiction era will eventually leave town with almost $34.8 million for 53 tackles and 61/2 sacks in 20 games over two seasons.
That's $656,000 per tackle, $1.74 million per game and $5.35 million per sack.
Uh, Albert won.
Brian Mitchell, the former player and analyst whose opinion I highly respect, said 60 percent of the blame for Haynesworth not working out in Washington should be leveled at Shanahan. I wouldn't go that far, but clearly the franchise's top decisionmaker on all things football has to own his part in this season-long migraine.

Post-punk/no-wave legends Swans return this week with a double-LP titled The Seer, the follow-up to their 2010 reunion album My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky. At two hours long, The Seer is an absolute behemoth of an album, truly epic and intense throughout. Stoic frontman Michael Gira (also of Angels of Lights) describes the album as 30 years in the making, saying, "It's the culmination of every previous Swans album as well as any other music I've ever made, been involved in or imagined. But it's unfinished, like the songs themselves. It's one frame in a reel. The frames blur, blend and will eventually fade." This is a demanding album for sure, slowly and fluidly evolving over its massive runtime with no standout tracks/potential singles, but for those willing to take the often bleak trip it is well worthwhile. The album's centrepiece is the 32-minute sprawling and cacophonous title track, which comes on like a soundtrack to the apocalypse with its monolithic chords, unrelenting drones, howling harmonica and overwhelming intensity. Elsewhere, Karen O provides some welcome relief on the comparatively soft and utterly gorgeous 'Song for the Warrior', former Swans member Jarboe returns on two tracks (including a collab with Akron/Family members on 'A Piece of the Sky'), and Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker of Low appear on side one opener 'Lunacy'. To reap the full benefits of this primal, cathartic and utterly unique album, you really do need to sit down and devote the entire two hours to it — which is probably a level of patience few still possess in 2012 — but I highly recommend it, as this dark masterpiece is one of the greatest albums of the year, and likely the best album these boundary-smashing leviathans have released.
The Seer is out today. Stream it below (via NPR).
