Mike Huckabee tours the state of Missouri, where he appears with an important new endorsement, Senator Kit Bond. Bond says, "
As a former Governor myself, I cannot understate the importance of experience to presidential candidates. Mike Huckabee has served the people of Arkansas for ten years, and he has what it takes to carry the Republicans to victory in November. I am endorsing his Presidential campaign, and encourage Republicans to vote for him. He's the best man in the race, and we can win with Mike!
" He subsequently visits Ames and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and holds a series of town hall meetings. He also appears in several rallies with Senator Chuck Grassley.
He then travels to North Carolina, where he is endorsed by Richard Burr, and to Virginia, where he appears with Rob Wittman, Eric Cantor and Frank Wolf, as well as a new endorsement, Represenative Randy Forbes.

Clearly the solution is to privatize presidential elections.
So, in less than four years, get excited for the 2016 MetLife Financial U Pick The Prez Extravaganza. If you tweet a picture of your completed ballot with the hashtag #ivoted, you could win a trip for two to the inauguration or an iTunes gift card.

Tonight on Sean Hannity, conservative writer and columnist Laura Ingram sits down with Hannity...
What do you make of the 2008 race, and who do you support?
Well, I'm surprised there are only three candidates in this race. In open elections in the past, we've seen as many as 10-15 candidates. I think Mitt Romney has definitely benefited with some big name endorsements, including Mark Levin who endorsed him today, and we see him with a large lead in national polling. Personally, I'll go ahead and announce it, but I have decided to endorse Mitt Romney. I'm skeptical our economy isn't quite as good as many believe, and I think Mitt as President could ensure economic security for years to come. His road to the nomination isn't as easy as it may appear. He's struggling against Huckabee in Iowa, and is also trailing by moderate margins in South Carolina and Florida. It also should be troubling to his campaign when he is only winning in Michigan by 8 points.
Thank you, Laura. I also plan on voting for Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday, and I sincerely hope he becomes our party's nominee. What we need now more than ever is a conservative leader who won't raise taxes, and Mitt's the only candidate who fits that bill.

At a rally in Ceder Rapids, Iowa, Mitt Romney thanks his latest endorsers, accompanied by Terry Branstead, former President George H.W. Bush, Mike Pence, and Senator Orin Hatch.
Each day, more and more Americans are joining our campaign, and I thank them for that. Our message is clear and precise: It's time to get a government working for the people, not people depending on the government. Smaller government, lower taxes, and finding alternative fuel sources, like ethanol, are only a few of the major policies that will be implemented under a Romney administration. Let's extend the Bush tax cuts to provide relief to Americans. I can promise you, taxes will not be raised 87 times if I am President of America, and I will not pardon anyone I please. I'm proud of my record on crime, and I'm proud that I'm not the Governor who's given out a record amount of pardons. Thank you all, God Bless, and God Bless America!
- Mitt Romney
After a tour of Iowa, Mitt Romney heads to the Rust Belt, where he makes stops in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Along the way, he is accompanied by Congressman Pete Hoekstra, Senator Arlen Specter, Governor Tim Pawlenty, Andy Reid, and Robert Dole.
America can only stay a great nation if we have great leaders! Mitt Romney is a great leader, and will be a great President. I ask all of you Minnesotans to give your vote to Mitt Romney. Give your vote to a man who will fight for you, not the special interests!
- Tim Pawlenty

Mitt Romney makes two stops in Missouri and Tennessee, where he is endorsed by former actor and Senator Fred Thompson as well as former Senator Jim Talent.
I actually considered a run myself. But one thing that stopped me from running is the fact that we already have a candidate with true conservative credentials in this race, which is Mitt Romney. I endorse him, and I ask all of you to vote for him with me on Super Tuesday.

Mitt Romney holds a massive rally in Marietta, Georgia, where he receives the support and endorsement of the following Georgians:
Secretary of State Karen Handel
Lt. Governor Casey Cagle
Congressman Nathan Deal
Congressman Tom Price
Friends, I am well aware of the importance of Georgia. Many say the South is lost for the Romney campaign, and that Huckabee will sweep this region. Friends, lets prove those pundits wrong. We can win in the South, and we will. We're going to take Iowa! We're going to take New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada, and South Carolina! Georgians, we're going to take this state of Georgia! The people of Georgia and all across this nation are tired of the partisan games being played in Washington. It's time for a leader who can bring everyone together under one banner: Americans. That will be my goal as President. Earmarks will not only be wiped out of liberal bills, but out of conservative ones as well. I ask for your vote on Super Tuesday. Thank you, and God Bless!
- Mitt Romney
My constituents, one candidate sticks out in this race as a true conservative who will fight for our dollars in Washington, and that man is with us today - Mitt Romney. Let's show Washington who's boss and elect an outsider who will go in there and shake things up! Let's elect Mitt Romney!
- Congressman Tom Price

Mike Huckabee pays a visit to Atlanta, Georgia, where he appears with Governor Sonny Perdue and Senator Johnny Isakson, as well as a new endorsement, anti-tax Representative John Linder. In an interview after the event, Linder states that he endorsed Huckabee in part because "
no matter what the Romney campaign says to the contrary, I'm convinced that Huckabee is an opponent of excess taxation. In particular, I very much appluaded his Tax Me More Fund which he established as Arkansas governor. It may make Mike look pro-tax, yes, but it was actually established to call out the hypocrisy of those calling for tax increases. I don't think anyone who's actually pro-tax would do that.
" It is speculated in the media that Huckabee is looking to seriously address the issues of taxation brought up by Mitt Romney.
He then visits Tennessee where he appears with 2 new endorsements, Jimmy Duncan and Zach Wamp, and Missouri, where he is endorsed by Represenatives Sam Graves and Kenny Hulshof. Finally, he makes visits to Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan. He has just recieved 3 endorsements from the state--Representatives Dave Camp, Mike Rogers and Thad McCotter.

Mike Huckabee makes a tour of the state of Iowa. He campaigns with Chuck Grassley, Tom Latham and Steve King, as well as Kit Bond, from the neighboring state of Missouri. In particular, Huckabee appears at a local Republican rally in Iowa City.
My message is simple--we need a true conservative Republican. As far as policy is concerned, I won't reverse my stance from recognizing the sanctity of human life to preserving and protecting a woman's right to choose, or back. I won't sign legislation that makes it even harder to own a gun. More than that, I also have the needed experience to run for president. I've served 10 years as governor of Arkansas, and I've remained on good terms with Arkansas voters. Shortly before leaving office, a University of Arkansas poll indicated that I had a 55% approval rating, with only 32% disapproving. So, if you want a conservative Republican with the experience and what it takes to win, I hope you'll consider voting for me in January. Thank you all, and God bless America!
" --Mike Huckabee
Representative John Linder also stumps for Mike Huckabee in Iowa. Asked about taxation, Linder says, "
Though some taxes have been raised in Arkansas, I think Huckabee's the more conservative candidate, and I think we're ignoring the many tax cuts that took place under his administration. Further, the Tax Me More Fund, despite seeming like a new tax, was actually Huckabee's idea to expose the hypocrisy of those calling for higher taxes. It was a huge success in proving its point, and I don't think it's a very pro-taxation thing to do. For that matter, let's look at Mitt Romney. It's true that he didn't raise taxes--he raised fees instead. And consider this: would you rather pay an additional $100 in taxes, or an additional $100 in fees? Whatever the case, Romney was open to increasing revenue, he simply bypassed the tax label and called the hikes 'fees.'

Mitt Romney holds a series of townhall meetings in the heart of Iowa. He is accompanied by former Governor Terry Branstead.
I'm asking for your vote on the upcoming Iowa caucus. I'm a family man, with sons of my own, and I'm concerned about my kids and grandkids future. I'm running for President in the hopes that I can leave them, and your children, a better world. I'm running as a compassionate conservative, and I will lead as a compassionate conservative. If elected, I will fight for you, your children, and their future. Thank you.

Mitt Romney releases a new ad in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Florida. He also has the ad going in the Atlanta stations, as well as other major-city ones across America...
Crime...an important issue. America has rising crime rates, and more and more Americans are at risk. What has Mike Huckabee done to help this? Nothing but pardon exactly 1,058 criminals. Is that a record America can afford?
I'm Mitt Romney. As Governor of Massachusetts, I didn't pardon criminals. I made them pay the price, many of them who endangered other innocent Americans. Elect me as your President, and I won't be soft on crime, I'll be tough on it. Protecting your children and mine will be one of my top priorities as your President.
Mitt Romney is continuing to campaign across the state of Iowa, but also has planned stops in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee in the coming days.

This is KWWL, channel 7 in Ceder Falls, Iowa...
Reporter 1:
With the important Iowa caucuses coming up, today was a big day with many news stories. Both Republican candidates and Democratic candidate Mark Warner have been traveling all across the Hawkeye state in hopes of clinching a win on caucus night.
Report 2:
Today was a big day for Mitt Romney. Today, former Governor Robert Day, as well as many Iowa state Representatives, Senators, and other Republican leaders all endorsed Mitt Romney at a press conference today. Mitt Romney was not on hand, as he was at the northern part of the state barnstorming with former Governor Terry Branstead. He will be holding a meet and greet/fundraiser with many of these leaders tonight in Des Moine Iowa. This is certainly a boost for the Romney campiagn, and it will be interesting to see how it affects the polls. Here is a complete list of all the Republicans who endorsed Mitt today:
Christopher Rants (Minority Leader in Iowa House)
Paul McKinley(Minority Leader for Iowa Senate)
Former Governor Robert D. Ray
Bob Vander Plaats
Former Congressman Jim Ross Lightfoot
Chuck Soderberg State Representative (R)
Rich Anderson State Representative (R)

Mitt Romney continues a blitz on Iowa with former Governors Branstead and Ray as well as local state representatives and senators.
Now is the time for a true conservative. Someone who will stand up to Washington lobbyists and put the people over politics! Friends, now is the time for Willard Romney to be elected President of the United States! Let's start this journey with a win in Iowa and end it with the White House. Thank you, and I ask you all vote for Mitt Romney on caucus day!

Romney places a call to his top political strategist...
Adviser: Hello, Governor Romney. What can I do for you?
Romney: You can advice me. How do things look?
Adviser: Well, Iowa is looking good for us, but we have to keep the momentum on our side, and not Huckabee's. We're looking great in New Hampshire, Wyoming, and Nevada, and I really don't think we need to spend much more time there besides a stop on election day. From then on, we've fallen behind in Michigan, but I think we'll gain that back, and South Carolina and Florida go either way. If we can win at least three of Iowa, Michigan, South Carolina, and Florida, I think we'll be great going into election day.
Romney: Thanks. We have some free time between Iowa and Michigan. In between, let's solidify Michigan and start peeling away some Southern states, such as Missouri, Tennessee, and Georgia. All are winnable for our campaign. I'm actually surprised we're up in Oklahoma, but we'll take that.
Adviser: Let's focus on a win tomorrow in Iowa. I think we have it, but we need to keep campaigning to make sure.
Romney: Great. Thank you, and God Bless
Romney spends the afternoon touring the Northern half of Iowa, and even attended a Methodist church, saying he was extremely accepting and tolerant of all Christian religions, but recognizes there is a separation of church and state and won't use the Presidency as a pulpit.

At a D.C. press conference, Senator Joseph Lieberman makes a stunning announcement...
The fact is, I'm sick of the partisan politics being played in Washington. That's why I'm proud to be an Independent - someone who will vote for whichever party has the best ideas. I think we need a President who shares the same values which I why I announce my support for Mitt Romney. This evening, I will be driving to New Hampshire, where I am excited to begin my first campaigning of 2008, campaigning for "My Man Mitt".
Also that day, Arkansas Congressman John Boozman endorsed Romney...
I know many expect me to endorse Huckabee simply because we're from the state. But I cannot do that, simply because I have a problem voting for someone for our nominee who raised my taxes as a citizen of Arkansas. I have more faith in Mitt than I do Mike, which is why I'm endorsing him.

Mark Warner's campaign speech in Iowa:
"America believes in change. Change has occurred all across our history, both in good times in bad. We are in a bad place right now Ladies and Gentleman, our economy is mediocre, we are in two foreign wars that are in stalemate, and reputation around the world is a joke. We deserve better, our country is not a joke, our country is the best nation in the world, but we can do better. If i am elected, we will be back to were we deserve to be, the economy will be at it's bets for the first time in seven years, and we will win the wars that we are involved in. But, our campaign starts with everyone of you. You the voters, are the King and Queens of American Politics, as each and every one of you make important decision in the booth every chance you all get. I need your help, vote for Warner in the Iowa Caucus and you all win not be disappointed. Thank You!"

Mitt Romney slams Tom Tancredo in Ceder Rapids, Iowa on term limits and integrity...
Before he remade himself as the "Scourge of Immigration," Tom Tancredo had a successful and lucrative career as a "Champion of Term Limits." In fact, his support of term limits was key to his getting elected in the first place. "I made a pledge, I took the pledge, I will live up to the pledge," said Tancredo in 2001 to the Rocky Mountain News, promising to serve only three terms in the House of Representatives. But then the chickens came home to roost and - guess what? Mr. Tancredo has now utterly broken his solemn vows, and is still in, despite it being more than three terms. Even worse, he has gutlessly tried to conceal his fraud from his constituents.
Right now, Americans need a leader who will act on their promises, not ignore them once elected. That's what I'll do as your President, as your leader. I am asking for your vote tomorrow, so that the America of tomorrow can be better than the America of today.

Tom Tancredo releases a counterattack against Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney flipped on abortion...
Mitt Romney flipped on gay rights...
Mitt Romney supports gun control...
Mitt Romney wrecked Massachusetts' health care system with RomneyCare...
Mitt Romney calls killing embryos for stem cell research "ethical"...
Mitt Romney raised taxes...
Mitt Romney's lawn care company hired illegal immigrants...
In short: Mitt Romney is a LIAR, a LIBERAL, and a HYPOCRITE!!!
America needs someone who knows where they stand on all the issues at one time. Mitt Romney is not that person.
And about his attacks on me - I am retiring at the end of my House term, whether I'm in the Oval Office or not.

Mitt Romney responds to Tancredo's attack at a rally in Burlington, Iowa...
Right now, America needs honesty more than ever, and Tom Tancredo's low blow my campaign clearly shows he does not have America's best interests at heart. I stand by my criticism of him because it is correct. Tom Tancredo lied to the people of Colorado when he promised to serve only three terms then went on to serve more than that. And the reason he's not running again this election is probably so that he could run for President.
Now, more than ever, America needs a true leader who will stand up for our values. As President, I will fight liberals head on so that this nation can get back to where it needs to be, both economically and socially. Right now, more than ever, this nation needs honesty, integrity, and leadership. I believe I possess all three, which is why I'm asking for your vote tomorrow.

DAILYKENN.com -- In spite of the nation being invaded by Islamic hordes, enough sane Britons remain in the United Kingdom to edge out a victory in the Brexit campaign; a national referendum to leave the European Union (EU).
Watch video below
51.89% of Britons voted to leave the EU. 48.11% voted to stay in the EU.
Prime Minister David Cameron submitted his resignation effective in October and Nigel Farage suggested a national holiday to celebrate the historic referendum.
Farage called for the end to the European Union stressing that sovereign nations can work together.
While patriots in Britain celebrated the nation's first Independence
Day, the liberal media declared it "black Friday" and emphasized short term reactions by the stock market and a temporary drop in the British pound.
Jeremy Corbyn, Britain's treasonous head of the far-left Labour Party, is expected to resign and the ruling Conservative Party's prime minister, David Cameron, seemed dumbfounded that his betrayal of British culture was resisted by so many ethnic Britons.
The vote to leave the European Union is expected to force a decline in the invasion of Muslim posing as 'refugees,' and a possible reversal of the subsequent erosion of British culture.
Britain's success may encourage other European nations to leave the EU.
The Guardian published photos of Briton in dispare; some with their heads bowed in depression and others with their hands over their faces. The Guardian declared Britain "divided," ignoring the fact that the Islamic invasion of the nation was the cause of the division.

Dubai is a very cosmopolitan place and modern too. I am used to seeing even the smallest grocery or shops here with scanners in their check out counters. I have never seen a cordless nor bluetooth barcode scanner yet in my vicinity. However, the bigger shops and malls use the high-tech bluetooth scanner in their check out tills.
These modern check-out equipment like touch screen cash registers and barcode scanners really make paying easier and faster. Back in the 70's and 80's when cash registers used to be very big and noisy with every punch on the keypads. The technology these days have made shopping a virtually fast and easy experience.

This one-part Bible study considers the faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abenego. and offers some practical steps to prepare and strengthen Christians as they step out into a world that is going to attack them, as they are striving to be faithful to what they believe.
Topics: Biblical Case Studies, Faith
Download a PDF of the Bible study Faith Under Fire.
Opening Questions & Thoughts:
What are some activities that you or your friends engage in that you don't particularly like or agree with but you/they do it because you/they are trying to "keep up with the Joneses," to stay in a relationship, to maintain your circle of friends, to get noticed/rewarded at work, etc.?
What would be the reaction of others if you decided that you weren't going to be a part of those activities any longer because it goes against your faith?
In the world in which we live, our society and culture dictates what is normal and acceptable. The problem is that most of these standards and requirements are in opposition to what it is that God desires for His people. Just take a quick look at what's on TV, in magazines or what's playing on the radio or at the movie theater to see what the world considers to be appropriate, normal, popular and so forth and then compare it to God's Word. It is easy to see very quickly that the two sides are at odds.
Now, think about how those who stand up for God's Word and refuse to succumb to the world are treated. Would you agree that usually they are ridiculed, shunned, marginalized or ignored? Even so, God has called us to be different than the world and to put our trust in Him. We are to be people of faith trusting that God has a plan, is in control and knows what is right and true. But not only that, we are to put that faith into action by living out what we confess and believe.
That is no easy task, but we are not the first to wrestle with living out our faith within the context of a world that is hostile towards our God. Check out the following passages to get a great example of this battle.
In the Word:
Read Daniel 3:8-15.
What is King Nebuchadnezzar telling Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that they have to do?
What will be the result if they refuse?
Now be honest, what would most people do in this situation?
Yes, most people would bow to the request of the King to save their life. Yet, these three men were so focused on being faithful to their God that they weren't going to compromise that part of their nature. They were willing to remain faithful even if it cost them their lives.
Listen to how they respond to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Read Daniel 3:16-18.
Wow! What a statement. These three men were willing to give up their lives for what is right. That is a powerful thought. We, too, are asked to make a stand for what we believe and these beliefs are highlighted in both the things we say and the things we do.
Chances are that you probably won't be forced to decide between your life or deciding to follow God's command, but the issues that were noted earlier in the Questions & Thoughts section are very real. In making a conscious effort to strive to be faithful in living the life God has called us to will most likely have some painful pushback and consequences in this world.
So what are some practical steps to prepare and strengthen Christians as they step out into a world that is going to attack them, especially if they are striving to be faithful to what they believe?
Consider this:
Realize that there will be a constant struggle for your heart and mind every day. Read Ephesians 6:12.
Rest in the promise that God is completely in control, that He loves you and that He has the very best planned for you. Read Jeremiah 29:11-13 & Deuteronomy 31:6.
Make time to consistently pray for yourselves and others. There is power in prayer. Read James 5:16.
Be strengthened by the fact that you are not alone in these struggles. Others are going through some of the same battles as you and if you can face them together it can serve to encourage all those involved. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego faced the fire together and as verse 25 mentions, Christ joined them as well. Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 & John 13:34-35.
Closing Thoughts:
The world is a difficult place to live and the pressure is ever mounting on the lives of people to conform to the patterns of this world. God is asking for something different from His children, which isn't always easy because of the backlash that Christians receive from others when they stand up for their faith.
May the accounts of those who have gone before us serve to strengthen our faith, as well as the blessing of being able to walk with other brothers and sisters through the trials of this life. Most of all, may we draw closer and closer to our wonderful Lord and Savior who cares deeply for each of us and is there with us each step of the way.
In John 16:33 Jesus says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Amen.

Discussion in 'Graphic Design & Logo Design Critique:' started by eneyekay, Feb 10, 2009.
Let me know what you think
i like the first one, but for some reason i don't like the second - the women-lady-girl just seems to be posing, whereas numero uno is looking away from the camera acting "casual-normal-cool".
I like them both, although I think there are better script fonts out there other than Scriptina, it dones't seem to go well with such a heavy gothic-esque black font.
Really like the styling you've done on these Nik, would you mind telling us what genre of music each is in, I have an idea but would be interested to know for sure
Are they for the same project or same person/group? Just wondering why the same font has been used for both on each cover. I like them both but think there could be a much better choice of font for Heather Lang instead of the same one used in the first one? Unless they're part of a series then I can understand why
I like them both.
cheers for the feedback guys
not sure about genres, but i'm guessing they're urban/rap/r&b or something, which is what most of the album covers I do are for. I know what you're saying about the fonts, they're for different clients, both of whome supplied their own pics to use of the artists, and i seemed to be having a 'Crown Title' font moment, and I agree with the scriptina thing too... there are better scripty fonts, but Heather's agent who contacted me wanted a cripty font and that was the first one that kinda came to mind that I also had on my system, these are both first proofs, so I'm waiting to hear back from both of them, they may change a few things still.
for the first I had this brief:
I want it to kind of follow the theme of the Scarface movie cover but not black and white, all in color!
Other than that, go to town on it and on the background, something flashy.
so I took the idea of a 2 sided cover, poor and rich as the black and white of the scarface poster and having 'God Deini' going from one side to t'other but looking back to the 'poor side' as if he isn't forgetting where he came from... or at least that was my thinking re: the title of the album.
the second:
My artist name is Heather Lang, and this is one in a series of mixtapes compiling some of the features she has been involved in. The title is "Introducing Ms. Lang". The text she would like ALL in a script type font. She wants the cover to be light, ethereal in a way, everything else you can have a free reign on.
and althought they wanted all the text to be in script, i felt it didn't work so made the artist's name bolder in what i would deem to be a kinda gothic more rocky font as that's the impression i got from how she is dressed... but i've not heard either artists music
so yea
Separate names with a comma.

A FATHER has paid tribute to his "selfless" daughter who died of a rare form of cancer caused by chemotherapy.
Stari Gunarathne initially responded well to the drugs she was given after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2010.
But the 26-year-old medical student, from Portlethen, in Aberdeenshire, was told last year she had acute myeloid leukaemia, triggered by the chemotherapy drugs she had been prescribed. She died on December 18 and her funeral was held on Friday.
Loading article content
Her father, Gunti Gunarathne, a reader in electronics and instrumentation at Robert Gordon's University, said: "She knew she was going to die but she was very positive about everything.
"She showed the human side of her feelings, as well as the spiritual - she exposed everything and was an inspiration."

West Indies will bounce back against Australia: Darren Sammy
The visitors were blown away for 70 in the first match, their lowest total in a one-dayer. Australia then raced to victory by nine wickets.
"Australia hit us hard so we know we have to hit back hard in the next game. This is not the first time they hit us hard in the first match.
I remember back home last year we got rolled over in the first game of the ODI series, but we came back with a fight and levelled that series and the series went down to the wire," Sammy said. "We have the ability to bounce back and that is what I will tell the boys," he added.

Ornate and antique, the Greystone traditional 4-light outdoor wall light by Troy Lighting is finished in forged iron with clear seeded glass.More Details >
With its moody sophistication, the Greystone traditional 4-light outdoor wall light by Troy Lighting is refined Victorian inspiration straight from the cobblestoned streets. From a sturdy backplate, this lantern frame in forged iron finish hangs from a dramatically swooped arm - and hosts two tiers with ornamental metal leaves, as well as a scalloped finial base. A clear seeded glass shade on the interior creates a "rainy day" ambience, showcasing the interior candelabra. The Greystone is somber elegance, bringing its regal touch to your front porch or lining your patio.

Radda is a great little town to base yourself while exploring Tuscany. Not too touristy, but plenty of choices for everything. We chose La Bottega Di Giovannino after discovering our first choice, recommended by friends who'd stayed there, was very isolated with nothing for miles around. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we entered we were made to feel welcome. Within ten minutes Monica had adopted us and we were not just treated like family: we were family!
We had adjoining rooms on the top floor; ours with a view straight up Via Roma; our friends view was of the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Rooms were spartan, but more than adequate. The en-suites were roomy and plenty of hot water to wash the miles away. There was no lift, but by then we'd got used to stairs, and help was available to lug those heavy cases up and down. Bed was very comfortable. The terracotta floor tiles gave the room a distinctly rustic feel, there was no escaping the fact you were in Tuscany.
The B&B has a small restaurant and wine bar downstairs, but no noise from this reached us in the upper level. Not that it was a rowdy bar; far from it; but noise was never an issue. We ate at this restaurant on out first night, and it was far and away the best meal we had in Tuscany. We were already adopted family by then, and our hosts, Monica and David, were excellent. They treated us warmly with few formalities. The wine flowed freely, and it was so obvious that they just loved what they were doing. It showed in the service, the warm rustic feel of the eatery, but especially in the food. And this love was contagious. It was just so warm and welcoming.
Monica was a wealth of information on the surrounding areas, and nothing was too much trouble for her. She organized winery tours, recommended other places to go and things to do, even down to how to find a good car park in the usually congested town.
In a nine week tour of Europe, we stayed at some good and not so good hotels and B&Bs. Most were great, but IMO only two were truly outstanding. La Bottega Di Giovannino was one of these. Not so much for the rooms and the views, but for our wonderful hosts Monica and David. We fell in love with Tuscany and Italy because of them. I know we will return one day, and when we do we'll definitely make La Bottega Di Giovannino our base in Tuscany again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Giovannino and his family welcome their guests with their usual warmth and cheerfulness. The comfortable apartments and rooms (each with private bathroom), situated in the historical center, offer a splendid panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.Continental Breakfast is served at the Wine Bar run by the children Monica & David. ... more less

Using Liferay Portal 6.1 Published in Print
Company Blogs May 13, 2013 By Richard Sezov Staff
I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of the print edition of Using Liferay Portal 6.1! For those of you on your toes (and you know who you are), it's actually been available since Friday, but who reads a blog entry that is published on Friday afternoon?
It's a big book. We're getting close to 700 pages now in print, and that does not include the properties reference, which we think is better as an online reference than stuffed into the book (plus, we can lower the price if we excise those pages). I want to acknowledge the hard work of Liferay's Knowledge Management team for a job well done: Jim Hinkey, Stephen Kostas, Jesse Rao, and Cody Hoag. In addition to these guys, some other key contributors include James Falkner, Bruno Farache, Michael Han, Jeffrey Handa, Mark Healy, and Jonathon Omahen.
So if you like big, thick books on your shelf, especially ones with the Liferay logo on them, why not pick one up?
Of course, we're not stopping there. I'm in the midst of working on the styling of the epub version of the book, which we'll release next. Stay tuned!

This week's bankruptcy filings raise the possibility that Delta and Northwest will join United Airlines and US Airways in dumping their pension obligations onto taxpayers. Members of Congress will howl, but it's time for the politicians to admit their own role in co-piloting the airline industry into Chapter 11, says the Wall Street Journal.
The root of the problem for these "legacy" carriers is the burden of pension costs. And one tantalizing option is to use bankruptcy to pass them off to the taxpayer via the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC). Congress created this government-run insurance system in 1974, promising to "protect workers" when companies failed. But as always with such government guarantees, Congress only created a future "moral hazard" that is now coming due, says the Journal.
- Management and labor would agree in flush times on big pension obligations because they knew the taxpayer was their safety net.
- The PBGC charges paltry premiums that in no way cover the huge liabilities rolling in from steel, airline and retail industries.
- PBGC's current deficit exceeds $23 billion, while pensions nationwide are underfunded by an estimated $450 billion.
- Delta and Northwest alone could dump another $12.4 billion in unfunded liabilities on the agency, with other airlines likely to follow.
Northwest Airlines CEO Doug Steenland has been warning about the pension problems for years, and has suggested sensible reforms that might have saved both retirees and Northwest. But Congress typically dawdled, and bankruptcy eventually became the better part of financial triage. Some of the biggest losers could be airline employees who'd receive only a fraction of their promised pension. So the PBGC is one more case of Congress writing checks it can't cover, says the Journal.

Despite its involvement, the international community – including the Arab League – has not been willing to strongly take sides in Syria, as it did in Libya. Short of this type of intervention the future of the revolt seems to depend only on the internal balance of power between the regime and its opponents.
At home, the violence of a prolonged quagmire will have an extremely high humanitarian cost. As regime brutality continues, new refugees will be created and the civilian population will keep paying the price in disrupted and destroyed lives.
Regionally, a failed state in limbo could affect the balance of power. A weakened Syrian regime, for instance, could lose its role as the strongman of Lebanon's politics and disrupt the region's so-called axis of resistance, composed of Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah. Prolonged instability in Syria may also be bad for one of the country's main foes, Israel. It fears the spread of anarchy could affect the quiet of the Syrian-Israeli border.
These concerns make even more urgent the debate over stronger international intervention – first through the creation of a "safe zone" in northern Syria. Such a zone would establish a haven for Syrian civilians fleeing persecution, as well as allow the opposition forces to regroup and get organized politically and militarily. Those are key factors in allowing them to challenge the regime.

Performing at Madison Square Garden and starring in your own movie are some of the typical bucket list items for most performers. Defying the odds, comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias has achieved all of these feats, something that many performers have not been able to do.
Behind so much success lies a great deal of hard work. Iglesias joined Fresh 102.7's Jim & Kim in studio today to discuss his latest motion picture "The Fluffy Movie," as well as his time in New York City and his rise to success.
After three television specials and a series on Comedy Central that pulled in record-breaking ratings, Iglesias' next cinematic project is his motion picture "The Fluffy Movie," which comes to theaters on July 7th.
"It's a standup comedy concert film," said Iglesias. "It starts off with about a seven minute vignette about the life you know of – how my mom and dad met and how Fluffy came to be Fluffy and then it's just, uh, it's a show that I put on."
"Basically it's probably the first time that there's ever been a stand up comedy film that's PG," said Iglesias.
When asked if Iglesias, a West Coast native, enjoyed performing in Los Angeles or New York City more, he chose the latter.
"It's actually more fun because there's… the audience is a little bit more diverse. Here you guys have some serious diversity," said Iglesias.
With a mixture of acting and standup comedy on his resume, Iglesias possesses a wide range of talents. But above all, he favors standup comedy.
"The standup is number one. I love standup, ill never quit doing standup as long as I'm an entertainer. A lot of guys use standup as a stepping-stone and that that was the stone for me. Acting is just frosting on the cake."
It is obvious why he favors standup comedy, having left his steady job at a young age to pursue a career in comedy by doing standup. Standup is where his career as one of the biggest comedians in the world began.
"I had a great job. I mean you got to figure I was 20 years old, uh, my rent was $350 a month, all my bills together was probably $550, and I was making about $4,500 a month selling cellphones. This was when selling cellphones was hard," said Iglesias. "To go from all that and then to be where I'm at now it's, it's an amazing trip."
Be sure to catch Iglesias' movie "The Fluffy Movie," coming out on July 7 and be on the look out for Iglesias' 2015 appearance at Madison Square Garden.

The bipartisan National Governors Association sent a letter on Tuesday to the leaders of both parties in the Senate and the chamber's finance committee reiterating state leaders' request for a six-month extension of enhanced federal Medicaid funding. The letter comes as the Senate gets ready to take up a tax extenders bill that includes enhanced Medicaid payments that phase down over the first two quarters of 2011, which falls short of what the governors are requesting.
"Although the nation's economy shows signs of improvement, states' fiscal condition continues to deteriorate," reads the letter. "Consequently, governors continue to support a two quarter extension of the enhanced [Medicaid payments] provided under the [recovery act] as the most efficient way to help states avoid further layoffs and service cuts that could otherwise slow recovery."

Commonly Used Collection Types
Collection types are the common variations of data collections, such as hash tables, queues, stacks, dictionaries, and lists.
Collections are based on the ICollection interface, the IList interface, the IDictionary interface, or their generic counterparts. The IList interface and the IDictionary interface are both derived from the ICollection interface; therefore, all collections are based on the ICollection interface either directly or indirectly.
Every element contains a value in collections based on the IList interface (such as Array, or List<T>) or based directly on the ICollection interface LinkedList<T>).
Every collection based on the ICollection interface (such as the Dictionary<TKey, TValue> generic class) contains both a key and a value.
The KeyedCollection<TKey, TItem> class is unique because it is a list of values with keys embedded within the values and, therefore, it behaves like a list and like a dictionary.
Collections can vary, depending on how the elements are stored, how they are sorted, how searches are performed, and how comparisons are made. The elements of a Dictionary<TKey, TValue> are accessible only by the key of the element, but the elements of a KeyedCollection<TKey, TItem> are accessible either by the key or by the index of the element. The indexes in all collections are zero-based, except Array, which allows arrays that are not zero-based.
The Array class is not part of the System.Collections namespaces. However, it is still a collection because it is based on the IList interface.
The rank of an Array object is the number of dimensions in the Array. An Array can have one or more ranks.
Unlike the classes in the System.Collections namespaces, Array has a fixed capacity. To increase the capacity, you must create a new Array object with the required capacity, copy the elements from the old Array object to the new one, and delete the old Array.
The generic List<T> class provides features that are offered in most System.Collections classes but are not in the Array class. For example:
The capacity of an Array is fixed, whereas the capacity of a List<T> is automatically expanded as required. If the value of the Capacity property changes, the memory reallocation and copying of elements occur automatically.
The List<T> class provide methods that add, insert, or remove a range of elements. In Array, you can get or set the value of only one element at a time.
The List<T> provide methods that return read-only and fixed-size wrappers to the collection. The Array class does not.
On the other hand, Array offers some flexibility that List<T> does not. For example:
You can set the lower bound of an Array, but the lower bound of a List<T> is always zero.
An Array can have multiple dimensions, while a List<T> always has exactly one dimension.
Most situations that call for an array can use a List<T> instead; they are easier to use and, in general, have performance similar to an array of the same type.
Array is in the System namespace; List<T> is in the System.Collections.Generic namespace.
You can use the Dictionary<TKey, TValue> generic class which implements the IDictionary interface. The Dictionary<TKey, TValue> generic class also implements the IDictionary<TKey, TValue> generic interface. Therefore, each element in these collections is a key-and-value pair.
The Queue<T> generic class is a first-in-first-out collection class that implements the ICollection interface and the ICollection<T> generic interface.
The Queue<T> and Stack<T> generic classes are useful when you need temporary storage for information, that is, when you might want to discard an element after retrieving its value. Use Queue<T> if you need to access the information in the same order that it is stored in the collection. Use Stack<T> if you need to access the information in reverse order.
Three main operations can be performed on a Queue<T> and its elements:
The Stack<T> generic class is a last-in-first-out collection class that implements the ICollection interface. The Stack<T> generic class also implements the ICollection<T> generic interface.
Use a queue if you need to access the information in the same order that it is stored in the collection. Use a stack f you need to access the information in reverse order.
A common use for a stack is preserving variable states during calls to other procedures.
Three main operations can be performed on a stack and its elements:

FOX Sports Detroit kicks of MHSAA football coverage Friday
FOX Sports Detroit's coverage of high school football — which includes a weekly scores-and-highlights show and the eight MHSAA championship games — kicks off this week.
MHSAA Friday Football Overtime, presented by Arby's, debuts Friday at midnight and will air each week throughout the fall. The 30-minute show will re-air on Saturdays at 11 a.m. and will be archived on FOXSportsDetroit.com.
"We are excited for the opportunity to continue our commitment to Michigan high school football by devoting a variety of linear and digital programming," said Greg Hammaren, senior vice president/general manager of FOX Sports Detroit. "The ability to combine our resources in conjunction with the MHSAA and its member schools will help us deliver content that feeds the passion of fans throughout in the communities we reach throughout the state."
Hosted by Mickey York and Rob Rubick, the show will include:
— Scores from games throughout the state displayed on a ticker throughout the show.
— Video highlights from a sampling of games, including the featured game each week
"Friday Football Overtime has done a great job extending the MHSAA's relationship with FOX Sports Detroit beyond its outstanding coverage of our basketball and football finals," said Jack Roberts, executive director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association. "It's a perfect way for the high school sports fan to get a taste of some of the great games across the state, capping off an evening of prep football after taking in their neighborhood game and watching highlights from their area on the local news."
When playoff time rolls around, FOX Sports Detroit will kick things off with the announcement of the qualifiers and the first-round pairings on the annual Selection Sunday Show on Oct. 26.
For the 17th consecutive year, FOX Sports Detroit will televise the Division 1 through 8 championship games Nov. 28-29 from Ford Field in Detroit.
Additionally, FOXSportsDetroit.com will provide live streaming coverage of 16 early-round playoff games — four games shown simultaneously each week through the district, regional and semifinal rounds. All of these games will also be archived for on-demand viewing at MHSAA.tv.
"Being the presenting sponsor of the MHSAA Friday Football Overtime Show on FOX Sports Detroit has been a great opportunity for the Arby's brand to align with a community oriented program and engages with viewers throughout the state of Michigan," said Sarah Reading, vice president associate strategic leader, Doner Advertising, the ad agency for Arby's Co-ops. "With nearly 160 restaurants across the state, FOX Sports Detroit provides Arby's the benefit of partnering with Michigan sports programming in an exciting and customizable way that has helped build Arby's brand awareness and relevancy throughout the state."

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magicall...more Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go -- especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil -- and also her father.To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings -- and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
WARNING: Review contains slight spoilers for 'City of Bones'.
'City of Ashes' promises action from the blurb onwards and Cassandra Clare certainly delivers! The tension spikes higher and higher every few pages, although these developments are more to do with the general plot- I felt that there was a little less emotional development than I'd hoped for, especially where Jace and Clary's relationship was concerned. It seemed like the situation hadn't changed at all throughout the book! At times didn't connect very much with Clary as a character; she sometimes seemed a bit flat, and I lived to see Jace and the Lightwoods appear. I'm surprised by how much I now love Alec and Isabelle, and how Simon's starting to grow on me. The secondary characters are definitely a great strength of this series, because what often happens in third person novels- that you skip the boring parts featuring characters you're not interested in- nevcr happens in the Mortal Instruments series.
Clare's worldbuiliding is as strong as ever, and in this installment we get more of an insight into the 'Downworlder' community. Even though I've mentioned a couple of niggling annoyances, none of them impeded my enjoyment of the book and my qualms with character development probably reflect how much I loved the characters in the first place and wanted them to grow and to get what they were hoping for. The action certainly kept me hooked, and rose to a very intense climatic scene which I thoroughly enjoyed- especially when Jace said something outrageous enough to make me laugh out loud!
As an aside, this is my 100th post- and I'm happy that it featured a series that's wormed it's way into my favorites!

Ireland captain Rory Best and flanker CJ Stander both dedicated Saturday's stunning win over New Zealand to former Munster coach Anthony Foley, who died this year.
Foley died suddenly at the age of 42 in Paris as he prepared to lead Munster in a European game.
Having earned 62 international caps in a decade-long Ireland career, Foley's passing was commemorated by Munster's representatives in the Ireland side forming a figure of eight - Foley's shirt number as a player - as the All Blacks performed the Haka.
Munster back-rower Stander was at the forefront of that formation and spoke fondly of his former coach post-match after a 40-29 win in Chicago ended the All Blacks' world-record 18-game winning run.
"We made a figure of eight; for me personally, [Conor] Murray and all the Munster boys to stand at the front, that was big," said Stander.
"He meant so much to me, he was really the rock in my rugby the last four years.
"He showed me a lot about what he'd learned over the years. I think he pushed me to the next level."
Best added: "It was something that we just talked about, through the management, to the players.
"I think a lot's been made of the really sad news that Munster got a few weeks ago and this was the national team's first time together since his passing. So we felt that it was the right thing to do and then to put the Munster body to the front of that.
"It just felt like the right thing to do and it was our way, as an Irish national team, just to show a mark of respect to Axel [Foley] and his family."

Sons Of Anarchy
December 7, 2011 by staff
Sons Of Anarchy, Episode Title: "To Be… Part 2″ Writers: Kurt Sutter & Chris Collins Director: Kurt Sutter Previously on "Sons of Anarchy": Episode 4.13: "To Be… Part 1″ Story: It's D-Day for the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle club. With Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman) still in the hospital for his gunshot wounds, his stepson, Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) plans to meet with the Irish Kings and the Galindos cartel to forge a gun deal that will solidify the future of SAMCRO. And close by, Assistant U.S. District Attorney Lincoln Potter (Ray McKinnon) has assembled a massive task force for his RICO operation, even if Sheriff Eli Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar) doesn't seem all that impressed. Lincoln rallies his troops and he has footage of Jax and the Sons with the guns. Why, the only thing that could ruin this investigation… just pulled up.
Lincoln and company are confronted by Romeo (Danny Trejo) and his number 2, Luis Torres (Benito Martinez) as well as a government agent who orders the RICO investigation to be shut down immediately as a matter of national security. Lincoln realizes that this means that the CIA is backing the Galindos cartel in Mexico, and they want all of his files and contacts. Meanwhile, Jax goes through with the meeting, but True IRA member Galen (Timothy V. Murphy) is skeptical about Clay's absence and he refuses to deal with the Galindos or Jax until Clay returns.
In private with Romeo and Luis, Jax tries to use this as an excuse to free SAMCRO from their Galindos ties, but they flash him their CIA issued badges and tell him that they need this deal with the Irish to go down or else the RICO investigation will be reinstated and used to destroy SAMCRO. Romeo also admits that Clay set up the hit on Tara through them, but they only tried to take her into protective custody when she was hurt. They also tell Jax that Big Otto Delaney (Kurt Sutter) gave up Bobby Muson (Mark Boone Junior), but they'll try to get him out. The biggest catch is that Jax needs Clay alive to keep the gun deal in place.
Before parting from the almost abandoned RICO staging area, Lincoln gives Roosevelt the file on Jean Carlos "Juice" Ortiz (Theo Rossi), along with an alibi for Juice that will save his life with the Sons. They part on mostly good terms, even as Lincoln acknowledges that he doesn't really like people. Roosevelt brings the file to Juice in lockup and offers him the chance to destroy the record linking him to his black father. Roosevelt insists that he's freeing Juice to get back to being a cop, instead of a blackmailer. Meanwhile, Mayor Jacob Hale (Jeff Kober) is having a city counsel meeting to get his Charming Heights luxury housing approved.
But before that can happen, Lincoln arrives with a bag full of sex toys and a young boy blow up doll for pedophiles as he unmasks Hale's primary investors as a sleezy Japanese prn company. Roosevelt's wife beams as Lincoln lurches out of the city council meeting almost as quickly as he arrived. When Hale confronts him, Lincoln says that he did it to give the good guys a win. Also, he really doesn't like Mayor Hale. In the hospital, Jax gets into Clay's room and dismisses Tig (Kim Coates). Jax then lowers the shades and produces the syringe given to him by Tara. But before he can use it, Clay wakes up and calls out for his son.

While student motivation has been intensively researched, only a few studies cover motivation at doctoral level and even less focus on doctoral education in Computer Science. In this paper we investigate the motivation of graduate students to pursue doctoral studies specifically in Computer Science. We interviewed 63 doctoral students, from two different doctoral models (traditional and structured) in Finland and Austria, on their initial reasons and experiences that led them to enroll in doctoral studies. We identified five disjoint main motivational drivers that relate with different aspects of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Together with a measure of the strength of their initial motivation, we develop clear motivation profiles of different doctoral program models. We observed that students in structured programs were mainly driven by extrinsic motivation while participants in traditional European doctoral studies were mainly influenced by intrinsic factors. Our results give a practical overview of student motivation for the enhancement of student selection, support, and supervision processes in doctoral programs.
