Edd Roush (07-19-2014)
No to the part about helping the bullpen in 2015. They aren't going to burn an option on him for that. They would go with Lorenzen or Stephenson in that role if they were going to do something on that path, though I don't see either of those happening either. Now, whether or not they promote him aggressively or not is another story. Do they get him to Double-A in three weeks so he is easier to qualify for the AFL? Or do they put him in the AFL as their one slot for a guy below Double-A? Do they send him to the AFL at all?
Makes sense. I didn't think it through. They certainly would not want to burn an option if they were going to convert him to starter. That might take several years to get him to the majors. I had not considered the AFL. IIRC, that was the beginning of Lorenzen's transition to starting. If it worked once....

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Who would buy Manitoba Hydro?
As the next election approaches, Manitoba's NDP government will likely try to scare the public by trotting out its favourite hoary old political chestnut -- privatization.
The NDP will increasingly accuse the opposition of "dark plans" to privatize Manitoba Hydro, just as it did in past provincial elections. It will bank on the general public not being in favour of selling the monopoly utility, and will recall, again and again, the Progressive Conservatives' sale of the telephone company MTS during the Filmon years.
That sale is lauded by many who point out MTS is stronger than ever, now paying taxes while providing competitive prices and modern services. Add to those advantages MTS's investment/borrowing risk goes to shareholders, not taxpayers.
Never mind, and for good measure the NDP will also throw in Manitoba Public Insurance as another potential PC sacrificial offering to the privatization bogeyman. When they launch these allegations this time around, however, the NDP will encounter a different response.
First, many voters don't really care anymore. The young "click to buy on the Internet" generation has a more modern mindset -- and prefers competitive choice and customer-oriented service delivery to a dreary government-directed and owned monopoly any time. Second, immigration brings new voters with little or no prior allegiance to Crown-owned enterprises. And, for those who remain preferring government ownership of business enterprises, they, too, are likely becoming less supportive of Hydro and MPI. Why?
Hydro's $34-billion development plan, with the above-inflation rate hikes and large-scale borrowing, is risky and potentially highly damaging to ratepayers and taxpayers. As for MPI, many policyholders prefer competition and suspect new options and lower prices would develop if MPI's comfortable monopoly was removed. Both Hydro and MPI have swollen personnel complements and low productivity and both avoid transparency and too often operate for political purposes (at a hidden but real expense to ratepayers).
Nonetheless, the opposition parties are not likely to espouse or promote privatization, despite ample evidence of the lower performance of state-owned enterprise both in Manitoba and the world over.
And this time, when the opposition categorically denies any intention of privatization, most voters will believe them and ignore the NDP's time-worn scare-mongering. Many voters will remain unengaged with the issue, largely because Hydro and MPI have long lost their way.
MPI fought the Public Utilities Board over justifiable rebates, regularly hides its approach to both program options and the extension business and has lost control of its operating expenses. A private insurer would do better. Hydro is a much bigger and more urgent problem. It continues to hide information about its export contracts and the $224 million it spent on First Nations negotiations. Hydro is a massive monopoly driven by the present government's political needs, not those of ratepayers.
A private utility simply couldn't borrow tens of billions of dollars and bet the farm on a huge dam-building program when the electricity-export market the plan relies on has substantially changed. Only the highest political direction (overriding more cautious advice) and the ability to charge whatever the costs to ratepayers enables this hugely risky venture.
Tragically, the plan ignores huge and unnecessary price increases for consumers -- especially ironic for an NDP that traditionally positions itself as a champion of the poor. The path the government is following will especially harm lower-income households dependent on electric heating.
As matters now stand, it would be amazing if any private firm even had an interest in acquiring Hydro or MPI. Hydro's retained earnings (the government's equity in the Crown) of $2.5 billion is composed of intangible non-earning assets, not cash. And, it would be difficult to extract the utility from commitments made to American utilities and First Nations. As for MPI, its investment portfolio is heavily exposed to fixed-income bonds, which will fall in value as interest rates rise. To top it off, both Crowns undertake tasks for the government and have unfunded pension obligations and outsized personnel complements (slimming down would cost big money).
Hydro and MPI are both ensnared by legislation and require approvals for policy and rate changes. A prospective new owner would have to be satisfied its actions to improve operations and reduce risks wouldn't be blocked, while also requiring solid assurances that rates would be set sufficient to meet the costs of operation (without subsidizing the government), and provide for acceptable industry financial ratios and an adequate return on its investment.
In short, neither Hydro nor MPI will be privatized following the next provincial election. Despite a strong case for getting government out of business and bringing in real market expertise, first messes have to be cleaned up and certainty must replace avoidable risks.
The best that can be hoped is that after the next election, and whichever party wins, government will focus on ratepayers' concerns and not its own.

Welcome to Otter Tail County MNGenWeb |
Nidaros Twp & Vining Village |
From Trygg Historical Maps, Trygg Land Office, Ely, MN www.trygglandoffice.com/maps.html b=bottom land, m=marsh, p=prairie, s=swamp |
Basic Facts: Township N132, Range W39 |
[Copied by Lory Brasel,
email@example.com, from the book "History of Otter Tail County" Volume I - 1916 by John W. Mason]Nidaros township first made its appearance among the townships of Otter Tail county on September 5, 1871. The first election was held at the house of Mathias Oleson on the 23rd of the same month. The petition for the erection of this township was dated September 1, 1871, and contained the names of fifteen legal voters, every one of whom was a native of Norway. The list follows: Mekal Amunson, Ingebrit Hogenson, Petter Petterson, Peter Albert, Mathias Olsen, Andrias Olsen, Haagen Peterson, Ole Jorgensen, Hans Mikelsen, Roland Haagensen, Iver Anker, Bernt Bersen, Seffenias Borsen, Andrias Maalson and Thon Hartvik.
Nidaros township is bounded by Girard on the north, Folden on the east, Leaf Mountain on the south and Clitherall on the west. Parts of two large lakes are to be found in the township, Stuart and Clitherall. Other lakes within the township are Syverson, Brederson and Bull Head. The surface of the township is rolling, but most of it is under cultivation.
The township was greatly benefited by the building of the Northern Pacific branch through the northern part in 1882. This brought the township in touch with the county seat and afforded a better market for farm products. The old paths through the woods and around the lakes have given way to good roads and in this way the farmers have been enabled to reach the railroad with their products. Early in the history of the township a Lutheran church was built on the western end of Syverson lake, in section 21, and this is still the center of an active religious life.
There are two flourishing villages in Nidaros, Clitherall and Vining, both being located on the Northern Pacific.
The present township officers are as follow: Supervisors, T. B. Duhn, Christ Johnson and J. A. Anderson; clerk, O. C. Ukkelberg; treasurer, O. F. Herbranson; assessor, C. H. Leth; justices, O. F. Erickson and E. R. Moulton; constables, Arthur Anthony and Isack Olson. Clitherall.
The village of Clitherall is the oldest village in Otter Tail county, although it was not platted until several years after it became a thriving little trading center. It was settled in 1865 by the nonpolygamous Mormons, who were the first settlers in the county. The Whitings were among the first settlers in the village and it was on the land of Lucius A. and Diademma Whiting, that the village was platted by George A. Burbank in the fall of 1881. The original town stood on section 6. The plat was recorded in the office of the register of deeds on October 17, 1881. According to the petition asking for incorporation which was presented to the commissioners on September 1, 1898. the village covered about one hundred and twenty acres and contained one hundred and seventy-six inhabitants. The following legal voters signed the petition asking for an incorporation: G. W. Whiting, S. N. Lundquist. J. S. Kotschaver, K. H. Robbin, L. E. Larson, S. Halverson, Jul. Morstad, J. T. Bjerkvedt, Tom Tornquest, Ed. Johnson, A. Taylor, J. E. Curtis, Martin Iverson, B. Otterdahl, W. Smith, Lars Assleson, A. M. Bader, A. Wilson, E. E. Whiting, L. I. Langness, R. H. Smith, A. L. Fletcher, Alonzo Whiting, Lin Lundquist, J. B. Hoff, Ben Whiting, E. Fletcher, B. J. Hoff, Bert Whiting, Andru O. Moe, Chancey Whiting, Albert Rots and Robert Halvorsen.
The petition was granted by the commissioners on September 1, 1898, and an election ordered for the fourth of the following month. Of the twenty-seven votes cast all but one were in favor of incorporation.
The present village officers are as follow: President, A. Gustafson; trustees, L. I. Langness, R. T. Robinson and H. A. Gosslee; clerk, A. Larson; treasurer, J. Severson; assessor, L. C. Whiting; constable, H. O. Saetre. Vining.
The village of Vining is located in the northeastern part of Nidaros township on the branch line of the Northern Pacific running between Wadena junction and Fergus Falls. It was laid out by L R. Lathrop in the fall of. 1882 for Ole and Anna Johnson, J. F. and Johanna Geysler and Andrew T. and Anna K. Lund. When a number of citizens, interested in having the town incorporated, took a census on March 17, 1909, they found two hundred and ten inhabitants scattered over the seven hundred and sixty acres which they asked to be included within the incorporated village. A petition was presented to the commissioners on March 23, 1909, asking for a special election on the question of incorporation. This petition was signed by the following legal voters of the proposed incorporated village: Charles A. Lund, Ole T. Nyhus, O. A. Lund, Andrew T. Lund, Ole C. Olson, Lander Manson. Harry Olson, T. H. Froslie, G. Gulbranson, Edward Lund, Carl F. Berg, Christ F. Berg, A. B. Trana, Andrew Walseth, George Monson, H. R. Hogenson, Andrew Gunderson, John Funderud, Jr., Richard Haugenson, Nils N. Kloystad, Hans Christenson, William Timroth, John A. Timroth, M. S. Nyberg, J. F. Olson, H. A. Lund, John O. Hoff, and Oscar Anderson. The petition was granted and the election set for Tuesday, April 20, 1909. The vote showed that there were only nine voters in the village out of forty opposed to incorporation.
Vining is now a village of. about. two hundred and twenty-five. There are two Norwegian Lutheran churches in the village. There is at present a bank, hotel, creamery, but the chief industry of the town is the buying and selling of the grain and the trade along this line has risen to such proportions that it requires three elevators to take care of the season's crops. This is also good evidence that the farms are very productive. The elevators are owned by the Andrews Grain Company the Farmers Elevator Company and Thowald H. Froslie. A. B. Trana is the present station agent.
In addition to the two villages, there are four summer resorts which have been platted since 1902, namely: Sunny Side, Nirvana, Fox Park and Camp Idlewood.
The great poet, Shakespeare has said "What's in a name," and he who named the attractive summer resort in the northwestern part of Nidaros township with the bright name "Sunny Side" must have had a hearty appreciation of what it takes to attract the wayfarer. It was platted by Martin Aalberg for Andrew T. and Anne K. Lund and the plat was recorded August 26, 1902.
One of the most pleasant summer resorts of Otter Tail county rejoices in the name of Nirvana. Located in the northern part of Nidaros township, on the east bank of Stuart lake, it occupies a picturesque spot pleasantly suggestive of the poetic name which it bears. It was platted by J. Q. Burbank for Charles G. Bade in the fall of 1904, the plat being recorded in the register of deeds office on September 15.
The plat of Fox Park was recorded June 20, 1905, by J. Q. Burbank for John N. and Mildred M. Fox. It is located in section 4, on the shores of Stuart lake.
The plat of Camp Idlewood was recorded November 16, 1907. It was laid out by Martin Aalberg for H. L. and Bertha L. Shirley. It is located in section 4 on the western shores of Stuart lake.

Grimsby firefighters get a helping hand
Posted by web-chief on Apr 20, 2012 @ 8:16AM
GRIMSBY, ON - In the world of fire fighting, it is not unusual for departments to reach out to each other. But it is a little more rare for a private fire company to lend a hand to a department in need. The fire and security department at U.S. Steel Canada handed over 21 Scott air packs, roughly 45 air bottles and a number of masks to the Grimsby Fire Department Tuesday. The Hamilton-based metal processor recently replaced the equipment of its fire force, which consists of a few members of the Grimsby volunteer department, with a new brand and offered its old equipment to the Grimsby Fire Department. The estimated value of the equipment is $70,000. However, if the fire department were to go out and purchase new units, which it has outlined in its four-year capital needs, it would cost upwards of $100,000 said fire chief Mike Cain. �This donation, is the single most significant donation this fire department has ever received,� said Cain. �The specific products provide new technology and enhance safety for our firefighters because of their lightweight design and higher capacity.�

Nonono key item? (Maybe spoilers)

Ceiyne posted... As far as I can tell from the wiki, I've done everything I'm supposed to for Nonono's key item (manganese batteries) to show up in the shops. I'm past the point in the flowchart that says it should be available, and I've had the conversation with Mio about the scouter repair. Any ideas? After the conversation with Mio, you should be able to see the battery on sale in the 2nd shop. --- Previously Known as raging Hitomi. | |
Thanks for trying but I just went to the 2nd shop again, and no battery. :/ | |
I figured out my problem. I didn't catch the part on the wiki that said I had to buy the batteries immediately after getting them flagged from Mio. I kept talking to Nonono before I went shopping so I guess I missed my chance. After that bad end I did a speed run and got Nonono this time. :P | |
Hi i keep getting bad ending with Nonono. How do i get to the point when i talk to Mio it never shows up for me!? Help with great thanks!!!! | |
gaah i missed the apron item and wondered where i went wrong...wish they told us clearly in game D: o well, time to speed run mian~ |

Is anyone still watching TOWIE?
(41 Posts)Isn't Arg a complete dick? Even amongst that lot of complete fucking twats he manages to stand out just a little bit as being even more fucking annoying. I do like the show
I'm watching it now. It is making my insides mush I'm cringing so hard. I feel like my eyes might pop out.
Arg is a DICK. Poor Lyd indeed. His 'singing'... he is a fucking joke.
Kirk managed a caricature of an actual human didn't he?! Better than his usual dead in the eyes, creepy lost boy shit.
Speaking of which, Charlie is insane. Why doesn't he just find a nice young man?
Hehe, Arg is like mole, I hadn't seen it till you said. Him doing that stupid dance to singing in the rain that someone obviously choreographed for him when he was about 14 was SO embarrassing.
Charlie is a right short arse. The live show was hideous. Seeing them all waiting for their cues.
Arg is like a big mole. The underground type.
Just comes across that jasmine wants any man
And yes kirk is just as bad
And Charlie must be gay/bi
Why is Jasmine a slag for going on a date with Charlie and Kirk but it was ok for Kirk, who to be honest is an absolute scumbag, to spend the nignt with Lauren? Double standards much?
And why in Gods name will Charlie just not come out of the closet?
Bibi - yes I saw that - it was DANNI and she backtracked lol
Jasmine seems to be a slag getting about with the male towie lot
Arg then kirk then Charlie and when he tried to kiss her - jasmine kissed him
Yes I thought kirk could sing an Arg couldn't let alone Chloe / soooooo tone deaf but so am I
Was cringeworthy esp with granny wright having a spray tan/naked in booth are Arg trying to find his trousers
But in the end they made money for breast cancer and that's got to be a good thing
I love Bobby, me and dd bumped in to him in Covent garden one day.
He was a complete sweet heart, very charming and chatted to us for ages.
When we were leaving he gave us both massive air kisses, and generally made a fuss of us.
Of course we had not a clue who he was at the time.
I watched it with my hands in front of my eyes.
Did anyone see Jasmin look at the producers as if to say 'Was that OK?' after her argument with Charlie?
Kirk's singing voice only sounds OK when compared to the rest of those muppets.
And what was Carol and Debbie's sketch supposed to be about?
arg's gut hanging out under his cumberbund boak
I couldn't believe how dreadful it was. Omg it was beyond cringe. It's lost all of its charm. It jumped the shark a few series back though it was still watchable...but last night
it was so bad its good, totally cringe worthy.
jasmine deserved what she got. stupid girl. why did they do this? i dont understand.
Kirk was the best thing about that show...
It was cringe cringe cringe but I had to keep watching
Really? You liked his singing?
Yeah Kirk surprised me he can actually sing
Arg is awful. How he thinks he can make it in the West End I'll never know. He looks embarrassed on stage. And so he should. Kirk is a much better singer than him.
Mind you I don't know what is worse - Arg's laughing face or Arg's singing face. Ugly fucker.
What the hell were they thinking?
Acorn Antiques is about right.
Oh god - this show is my guilty pleasure but this live version is AWFUL.
Arg is ghastly. Can you imagine having sex with it? Poor lydia.
This is making me cringe to death.
Missed that BiBi
Think whoever came up with this idea needs sacking pronto
did you see the girl walk into the background during Charlie and Jasmins argument, then try and sneak back out again? It's getting worse by the minute, yet still I cannot avert my eyes!
It's a bit like like an Essex version of Acorn antiques.
This really is terrible.
It's like the sort of shit we used to do in 'improvised' school plays...shockingly bad!
I want to turn it off too, but I can't, I just can't. It's compellingly bad.
it really is a pile of steaming shite isn't it? I don't know why I can't just turn it off but I just can't believe what I am seeing.
If Alex 'Reidinator' Reid turns up I won't be able to cope. He makes me feel queasy.
It's even more awkward than normal.
Why have they done this?!

White was educated at the state comprehensive St. Gregory's Catholic School, Tunbridge Wells, followed by the University of Manchester, where he obtained a BEng in Engineering, and an MBA from the University of Bath.[2]

He was subsequently named as a "Social Value Ambassador" by the government.[9]

If a material has an index of refraction of 2.25, what is the speed of light through it?
1 Answer | Add Yours
To solve, apply the formula of index of refraction which is:
n - index of refraction
c - velocity of light in a vacuum ( 3 x 10^8 m/s) and
v - velocity of light in a medium
So, plug-in n=2.25 and c=3 x 10^8 to the formula.
Then, multiply both sides by v.
`2.25*v=(3xx10^8)/v * v`
And, divide both sides by 2.25.
Hence, the velocity of light in the medium is `1.33xx10^8` m/s.

Comment - How Litigation-Funding Helps Davids Tackle Goliaths in Court 4 August 2014
Last month, UK-headquartered soft drinks company Nichols was hit with a legal fine in Pakistan. The PKR1.4m (US$13.8m) payout to its bottling partner in the country, Gul Bottlers, hit Nichols' bottom line hard. The ruling in Gul's favour carried echoes of David beating Goliath. Mark Beaumont, a director at UK-based law firm Annecto Legal, considers the well-established, yet little-known method of funding litigation that could help a slighted minnow chalk up a victory against a bigger partner.

Anyone else keeping an eye on YAK-CN? It's a frighteningly small company ($7 million market cap) trading on an obscure exchange. They do have an interesting business model (selling picks and shovels in mineral rich Mongolia). I stumbled across YAK because it's being run by Harris Kupperman, who I think many people know from his investment blog. I googled around a bit and found a few odds and ends. A picture of Kuppy in his Mongolian office: http://images.businessweek.com/slideshows/20110720/foreign-c... An interview from June: http://thedailygold.com/featured/interview-with-harris-kuppe... This is a guy the Occupy people should love. As CEO, he gets no compensation of any kind: "Nothing. No stock options. No salary. No bonus. No performance allocation. Nothing." He owns a major piece of the company so he will do well if the company does well. Looks extremely risky but I'm sufficiently intrigued to do some more digging. |

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
120 mistakes
Directed by: Robert Zemeckis
Starring: Christopher Lloyd, Elizabeth Shue, Lea Thompson, Michael J. Fox, Thomas F. Wilson
Continuity mistake: When Marty (the Marty wearing the dark clothing) is at the dance and the Marty of 1955 is on stage is about to sing Johnny B. Goode, you can hear the 1955 Marty saying "this is a blues riff in B, watch for the changes and try to keep up" through the microphone. Yet in the original, Marty looks away from the mike when he says this and is unamplified. The quote is different as well. He says "this is a blues riff in B, watch for the changes and try to keep up" in part I, but in part 2 he says "this is a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes and keep up, OK?"
Continuity mistake: In the beginning when Doc takes Marty and Jennifer to 2015 for the first time, they are descending towards Hill Valley. Doc turns the steering wheel to the left but the car goes right and down.
Continuity mistake: When Marty is in Mr. Strickland's office trying to take back the almanac, it shows a wide view of the office with two flags right next to each other. After cutting to a close up view of Marty they are apart, then Marty moves them together.
Deliberate mistake: When Old Biff and Young Biff are sitting in Biff's car, the car's rear-view mirror vanishes during all shots of Old and Young Biffs together. Presumably this made the split-screen effect easier to do.
Continuity mistake: In the part where Marty is trapped in Biff's garage, Biff's rear view mirror on his car is at the very top of his windshield. Later on when Marty is holding on to the car with the hover board the rear view mirror is in the middle of his windshield. The rear-view mirror was lowered about six inches or so.
Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the famous court yard chase scene when Griff and gang crash through the courthouse windows, you can see in plain sight the reflection of cables and the mechanisms that held them in the air. [Corrected in 25th Anniversary edition.]
Visible crew/equipment: Right as Young Biff starts to chase after Marty through the tunnel, there is a shot of the wheel spinning around, and you can see the camera crew reflected in the hubcap.
Continuity mistake: Notice Marty's hair in the scene when he's playing "Johnny B. Goode." It's quite larger than when he says, some seconds later, "I guess that you're not ready for it yet." That's because when he says that, it's a recycled shot from the original BTTF, whereas most shots showing he's playing the guitar are newly made for BTTF2. However, Marty's hair is considerably longer in the new shots.
Continuity mistake: When Marty avoids Griff and his thugs by jumping in the water off his hover board, his hair gets wet. After his coat dries his hair he rubs his hand through it. It gets all messy and crazy and uncombed. The very next shot shows him talking to the girls with perfectly combed hair.
Audio problem: When Doc and Marty return to the year 1955, you hear the squealing sound of tyres braking heavily, but the DeLorean is flying.
Continuity mistake: In the Café 80's just after you hear Marty say, "It is Wild Gunman", notice the three people sitting in the second booth from the back wall. When the scene changes to Marty throwing his hat on top of the game, you can see that the people have changed tables. You can also see that they are gone again when it shows a close-up of the two kids.
Continuity mistake: If you look very closely, after Marty flips on the little girl's hover board and is laying on his stomach, when he goes to get up you can see that he's wearing regular lace style tennis shoes and not the auto-lace high tops that Doc gives him as soon as they get to 2015. You may need to pause it to see them.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the 1985 Jennifer is in her 2015 home and says "I get married in the Chapel-O-Love?" right before she picks up the picture note the Chapel-O-Love picture and frame on the bookcase behind her. After she picks it up and drops it leaving it on the floor she looks for a place to hide. Later on when the old Lorraine and George are in the living room, take another look at the picture on the bookcase; the Chapel picture is set back up. You could argue Lorraine would have had enough time to set it back up. But look at the Chapel picture; it's inserted in the frame upside down. You can tell by looking at the frame stand behind it. Meaning someone physically removed the picture and put it that way.
Continuity mistake: When Biff is trying to get Lorraine to go to the dance with him, (the bit when Lorraine is looking at her dress) you see the same extra walking past her about three times.
Revealing mistake: When Doc and Marty arrive in 2015 when the car is landing in the alley you can see the mechanism that is lowering the car. Just as the scene switches from the front of the car (right after the headlights go out) to the back of the car, look between the car and the building at the same level as the back bumper. There is something that is moving down with the car.
Audio problem: After Doc and Marty return to 1955 in an effort to steal the almanac back from Biff, they land the DeLorean. Doc says, "Here's some binoculars" then says "and" but watch his lips as he says "and", it just doesn't match. You could argue that it is a bad angle but even at the angle it's at, you get an OK view.
Continuity mistake: When Biff punches Marty in the stomach, he falls to the ground between Biff's henchman. The camera angle changes to a wide shot and Marty is still on the floor but he's about 3 feet in front of the henchman now.
Visible crew/equipment: When Old Biff says, "Something very familiar about all this," a crew member is reflected in the restaurant window behind him.
Plot hole: When the "old Biff" steals the time machine in 2015, as Doc and Marty attempt to retrieve Jennifer, it shouldn't be possible for Biff to return to the world that exists around him, as he gets out of the car back in 2015. Doc, Marty, Jennifer, and the world around them ALL should no longer exist, while still trying to escape from 2015. An alternate time line should have been created the moment "old Biff" left 1955. (Thus, Doc's explanation to Marty via the chalkboard explaining an "Alternate Reality"). This all started in 1985, and one result of old Biff's ventures, we learn that Doc is committed to an institution and couldn't even invent, or at least complete, the time machine by October 26th, 1985, which is the starting date of the initial film.
Visible crew/equipment: If you look at the money case that Doc brings with him that has all the different types of money for each year, you will see where it says 1864 the reflection on the glass or plastic of what appears to be a tripod most likely for lighting.

Explore Brussels The Grand-Place The Lower Town The Upper Town East of the centre: the EU quarter and Le Cinquantenaire South of the centre: St-Gilles, avenue Louise and Ixelles North of the centre: Jette, Laeken and Heysel Around Brussels: Waterloo Share Brussels can hold its own with any international city when it comes to eating out, and whatever your taste, price range or preferred type of cuisine there is almost always something that will suit. Look out particularly for traditional Bruxellois dishes, canny amalgamations of Walloon and Flemish ingredients and cooking styles, whether rabbit cooked in beer, steamed pigs' feet or waterzooi (for more on Belgian specialities). As for where to eat, the distinction between the city's cafés, café-bars and restaurants is fairly elastic, and there are great places over the city, with particular concentrations on place Ste-Catherine and rue du Flandre in the Lower Town and place Boniface and place du Châtelain in Ixelles. Drinking in Brussels, as in the rest of the country, is a joy. The city boasts an enormous variety of café-bars and bars: sumptuous Art Nouveau establishments, traditional bars with ceilings stained brown by a century's smoke, speciality beer bars with literally hundreds of different varieties of ale and, of course, more modern hangouts. Many of the more distinctive bars are handily located within a few minutes' walk of the Grand-Place and also in Ixelles, but really you'll be spoiled for choice. There's no smoking in any establishment that sells food, along with bars and clubs. Restaurants Restaurant opening times are pretty standard – a couple of hours at lunchtime, usually noon to 2pm or 2.30pm, and again in the evening from 7pm to around 10pm; precise hours are given with the reviews below. At all but the cheapest restaurants, advance reservations are recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Bars and cafés Belgians make little – or no – distinction between their bars and cafés: both serve alcohol, many stay open late (until 2am or even 3am) and most sell food as well. What you won't find (thank goodness) are lots of the coffee house chains which beleaguer so many big cities. Read More

This was exactly what I needed to get my Fedora 8 up and running. I refer back to this tutorial often when I want to add some new feature. I originally had trouble getting the Fedora DVD to load due to some needed command line parameters. Maybe a mention of this possibility at the very beginning of the tutorial would help in the future. Thank you for the excellent tutorial.
Wait a minute! Lots of people have problems trying installing Fedora with their new computers.
I don't want to boast about it, but I am stuck. I have a q9550 processor and lots of problems. I managed to install SuSE 11.0, which sucks like hell. I can't stand the bloody thing. I want to go back to the old SuSE 9.2 Pro and Fedora 8 but unfortunately I can't install any.
SuSE 9.2 gets stuck formatting the hard drive.
Fedora 8 can't find the bloody CD/DVD driver.
If anyone has encountered these problems and managed to overcome them, we would love to hear from them.
Best wishes to everyone,
You wrote:
cp all-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs/
But, after a default install there isn't a "/usr/lib/codecs/" directory.
thanks for the hint - Changed the corresponding step.

Dying woman's Christmas wish is your morning cry
Before Brenda Schmitz died of ovarian cancer in 2011, leaving behind four children, she wrote a letter to 102.5 in Des Moines asking for three wishes to be granted. She gave the letter to a friend and told the friend to hold onto it until her husband had found another woman to share his life with.
In the letter she asked 102.5, which grants Christmas wishes every year to send the new family somewhere "magical," to give the new wife a day of pampering and to give the staff who took care of Brenda at the hospital a night of "drinks, food and fun."
Beware of the onions. The mountains of onions.
And here's an interview posted at the Des Moines Register .

Trouble Finding Jobs? It Might Be The Software
By editor
Many job hunters are downright frustrated. But one expert says it's not you, it's the employers and a flawed electronic application process that may be preventing qualified people from finding work. Host Michel Martin speaks with University of Pennsylvania's Peter Capelli. He's the author of Why Good People Can't Get Jobs.

R: ARCHIVE, S: REVIEWS, D: 01/23/1997, B: Chris Wright,
Not-so-odd couple Rappaport by Chris Wright I'M NOT RAPPAPORT. Directed by Herb Gardner. Adapted by Gardner from his play. With Walter Matthau, Ossie Davis, Amy Irving, Boyd Gaines, Matha Plimpton, and Craig T. Nelson. A Gramercy Pictures release. ALT="[Rappaport]" width=200 height=187 align=right hspace=15 vspace=5> Adapting plays for the screen can be a tricky business. A too-faithful rendition can seem to labor under the dialogue-heavy conventions of the theater -- or worse, can seem contrived and pretentious. An overly ambitious interpretation, on the other hand, can stray so far from the original it loses the virtues that made the work worth adapting in the first place. The film version of Herb Gardner's play, I'm Not Rappaport, overcomes these potential difficulties with flying colors. Thanks in part to Gardner's sensitive adaptation, and in part to the talent of his actors, the film retains the delightful blend of humor and pathos that earned the stage version a Tony Award. Far more than being just a passable cinematic version, I'm Not Rappaport turns out to be funny and charming -- A Grumpy Old Men with soul. The film follows the adventures and misadventures of Nat (Walter Matthau) and Midge (Ossie Davis), two old geezers who spend much of their time occupying opposite ends of a bench in New York's Central Park, not to mention completely opposite views on how they should go about living through their twilight years. Nat seems to have taken Dylan Thomas's imperative -- "Do not go gentle into that goodnight" -- to heart. He is a romantic, a wag, a pot-smoking, wisecracking dreamer, and a master of Walter Mitty-like self-invention. All the things that old people aren't meant to be. Midge, on the other hand, seems content to sit and read his paper, to go quietly about his business with as little fuss as possible, to live out the rest of his days in peace and obscurity. But with the hell-raising Nat around, there's little hope of that. The less-than-dynamic duo play off each other marvelously. As well as refusing to submit to the present, Nat also refuses to relinquish the past. Holding on to unfashionable ideals of social justice, he crusades for the rights of workers, consumers, and anybody else he sees as a victim -- whether they want him to or not. As the main beneficiary (or victim) of Nat's extravagant efforts to secure justice for one and all -- and as the target audience for many of Nat's outlandish fabrications -- Midge is driven to distraction, and even ineffectual violence, by his friend. Matthau is adorable, making full use of his doughy charm and impeccable comic timing to make Nat both irresistible and infuriating. His character is also, it turns out, surprisingly wise. When berated by Midge for his constant lying, Nat says, "They're not lies, they're alterations. Sometimes the truth don't fit. I take in a little here, I let out a little there, until it fits." Davis, reprising his Broadway role as the shortsighted, curmudgeonly Midge, is the perfect straight man to Matthau's oddball. He endures Nat's antics with a mixture of outrage and resignation -- and, we suspect, a little hidden pleasure, too. In a perverse way, Nat may even be good for Midge. When the smarmy yuppie Danforth (Boyd Gaines), head of the tenants' committee at the building where Midge is superintendent, attempts to ease Midge out of his job, Nat stands up to him in a way that Midge never could. "You collect old furniture, old cars, old pictures," he fires at the quivering Danforth, "everything but old people. They make bad souvenirs, they talk too much; even quiet they tell you too much. Well, they haven't stayed late to ruin your party." It's the kind of speech that Hollywood usually minces into a slush of sentimentality; here it's effective: touching and right on the mark. Despite the surface acrimony, and their seeming incompatibility, Nat and Midge are a match made in heaven. In one hilarious scene, they smoke a joint of government-supplied "medicinal" pot and giggle like schoolboys; they sing, they dance, they reminisce. Central Park becomes their playground, a place of magic and music. But the park also plays host to darker forces: predators and thugs who remain impervious to Nat's sleight of mouth, who have the ability, and inclination, to cause the pair great harm. When Nat and Midge come to the aid of a junkie (Martha Plimpton) who owes money to a vicious drug dealer (Craig T. Nelson), things turn decidedly nasty. Even more of a threat to their lifestyle is Nat's well-meaning daughter Clara (Amy Irving), who is determined to have her father interred in an old-folks home. The trials that they go through strengthen, but also threaten to shatter, the bond that forms between the two friends. Like Tom and Huck, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, or Batman and Robin, Nat and Midge are an unforgettable twosome. And I'm Not Rappaport is an unforgettable film. |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Linda Porter can now die happy.
Hopefully the 29-year-old will lead a long and prosperous life, but she checked off a bucket list item at SouthPark mall Saturday afternoon: Meeting celebrity Jessica Simpson.
This is the number-one thing to do on my bucket list before I die, the fan said as she waited first in line to meet the singer and her sister, Ashlee Simpson, at Belk.
The Simpson sisters signed photographs for fans who had bought at least $50 worth of items from Jessica Simpson s fashion line. About 200 people waited in line to meet them.
Some were from Charlotte while others came from Kentucky, like Porter, and some even drove 13 hours from Illinois.
Allyssa Paulsen, who is 19 and from Morris, Ill., drove with her sister and two friends to meet the sisters. She said she s been a fan since sixth grade when she went to her first concert where Jessica performed. Ever since then, I ve loved her to death.
The sisters descended an elevator as they arrived and then met privately with 27-year-old Laurah Zeek, who has spinal stenosis. Zeek, who had met Jessica before, said she drove nine hours from Pennsylvania to see them. She called Jessica an inspiration, saying, She s just the most wholesome celebrity out there.
The Simpsons arrived more than a half hour later than they were expected, and did not address the crowd that eagerly snapped photos of them with their smartphones.
We ve had a great time, the visibly pregnant Jessica said when asked by the Observer about her Charlotte visit, but the sisters declined to answer any more questions. Jessica recently revealed that she will be having a boy.
Porter couldn t have been happier to meet her inspiration.
She inspired me to lose weight, she said, adding that she recently lost 50 pounds. Jessica Simpson has been a spokesperson for Weight Watchers. I said, if she can do it, I can do it.
