ISSN 1743-0526 Full text not archived in this repository. Abstract/SummaryDespite the fact that the Harry Potter books have won a place in the cultural consciousness and have had enjoyed immense commercial success, they were not accepted within many faith groups at the outset. Using the term 'religion' to refers to any system of belief that may be recognised by symbols , I look extracts from three of the novels, alongside their subsequent cinematic adaptations, in order to consider the construction of representations of religion in the films and the contribution made by the films to this debate.

Hello All, I just saw this dedicated AirPrint daughter board, so I thought I would repost some info I found on network printing with the iPad. I hope it helps. I trolling over at ModMyI, and came across this post from one of their members. My boss has been going buggy because he can't print from his iPad, so I've been keeping an eye out. Now, I'm not tech head, but if I follow this right, you can print to all networked printer this way from you iPad. Mac users go here: High Caffeine Content: Return AirPrint sharing to Mac OS X v10.6.5 or AirPrint Hacktivator Netputing Win Users go here: How to Install AirPrint to Enable Wireless Printing on Windows? | Jaxov The original post from ModMyI is here. Hacktivate AirPrint on Mac, Windows Shared Printers I hope this helps! I'll be using it when I get my iPad (22 days & counting!) Hal
Well, yes, provided you have a machine up and running. It would be nice to be able to print to a networked printer with nothing else booted up. I'm certainly not going to create the AirPrint folder on a server. Since the App Store sells wireless printing enabling software, it's clear the hooks exist in the OS and Apple has crippled it. Why? I don't know.
Probably legalities over drivers given how much litigation is currently going on. Overall impression is of a late holdup. Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon.
I think this will be a help to people (like me!) with older equipment and wireless home networks. The computer my printer is hooked up to is on all the time anyway.
It would be a help, but unfortunately, my Samsung printer shows up on iPad but doesn't receive any information when I try printing. With 4.2 GM and iTunes 10.1 beta it worked. Apple has me really pi**** here as I was bying their office apps exactly for the reason of printing from my iPad. Now I have an "Office" on my iPad and always have to sync with my PC. Pointless, as I'm running a full blown office suite anyways.
I went messing around with my HP D110 eprint printer and now I cant print from my PC or laptop,I can send an email to the eprint center and it prints but not direct from my printer or ipad. All I get is cant find printer or net work, however the status sheet from network test I print says everything is OK. It prints fine when I hook up the USB cable to the PC and laptop,however my cable is not long enough when I travel so I think a call to HP is in order.
Update to the above post. After a couple of hours of frustrating trouble shooting (which is almost useless,) I read a report that most Routers are the problem with the wireless hook-ups,so I read upon routers and did what they said would fix my problem and what do you know, my printer works fine and my Ipad finds my printer and prints.,my room is full of sheets of paper after trying all my programs to see if they would print. make sure you hold down the button for 30 seconds or disconnect the power from the wall. Hope this will help you all out
Instead of fretting about airprinting and all that entails, why not just get a piece of software that will allow you to print seamlessly from you ipad or iPhone. I use Printopia. No extra steps to print. just select the action icon, select your printer and finally select Print. It easy as pie. Also the is another piece of software that will work almost the same way. It's called FingerPrint. They both worked great. I was able to print on a network laser printer and also my color inject that is connected via USB to my iMac.
Jim, how are those apps working? I bought an app for that recently, and the next best thing this app could do for me was sending my pages document via e-mail. I'd need something similar to the apple airprint function. Open document -> select print -> chose printer -> print. Is there an app that doesn't need any client software on a running PC? I have a win7 laptop that is running connectify. So it's actually acting like a hotspot. I have my samsung all in one color laser hooked up via USB. But I'll also look up the description of the apps you mentioned. I just checked printopia, but couldn't see if it works with windows...

It may be possible to summarize Christianity as aiming at the economy of Love; a world in which the primacy of Love is something perpetually lived-by.
Since the incarnation, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ were necessary to the salvation and divinization of Men; then it seems to follow that Christ came to earth for something-to-do-with Love.
And by 'Love' must be meant Love as it is known and experienced by Men (because God already knew all about Love from the divine perspective - the incarnation of Christ would not have been necessary if that divine type of Love was sufficient).
So, perhaps we could say that one reason Christ came to earth was to be loved as a Man, and himself to love as a Man.
If so, then the two loves of Christ we know most about from the Bible are: 1. Mary's love for her son Jesus; and, 2. The love of Jesus for his disciple John - 'the disciple 'whom Jesus loved'.
I think it likely that Jesus was loved by, and personally loved, other people than these - but these two we know for sure. So, if Jesus became a Man in order to experience love from the perspective of a Man, then we can say that he both was loved, and himself loved.
I suspect that this experience of love may have been a very important fact in enabling the Atonement.
Note: It may or may not be significant, I am not sure, that (according to some Christian understandings) neither Mary nor John the Evangelist have (yet?) died - Mary was translated directly to Heaven while John's ministry continues on earth.

Above is a clip in which Bea Arthur and Rock Hudson sing an up-tempo number all about drugs. "Sniff, swig, puff and all your cares are gone," the pair belt out on the 1979 Emmy-nominated Beatrice Arthur Special (which actually might have been the gayest event on television, as it also featured Wayland Flowers and his puppet Madame). The song, called "Ev'rybody Today Is Turning On," is from the late-'70s Broadway musical I Love My Wife — directed by Arthur's then-husband Gene Saks — that looks back on the days of yesteryear when people got high off the simple things in life, when "glue was pasted instead of sniffed." How tempted are you to now refer to getting high as "getting turned on"?

Setting up at my first show in years. Any advice???
I have been back in the hobby for almost a year. I've been selling a lot on eBay but next weekend I will be setting up at the first of many shows I plan to sell at this spring and summer. I haven't setup at a show since I was about 15 so I feel like a rookie all over again. Is there any advice/suggestions that any show veterans here think would be helpful for me?
One thing I notice at shows is that every dealer seems to be way over priced. Some guys are selling singles for 2-3x what I would price mine at. Will I be ruffling any feathers by pricing my stuff lower than other dealers? I don't want to create enemies but I also don't want to put douchebag prices on merchandise that I know should be sold lower. I'm hoping to have a table that really appeals to buyers and even other dealers. What types of items sell best? What stuff doesn't sell so well? I plan to do singles, wax boxes, wax packs, and some autographed merch. About 95% of my stuff is baseball 2010-present. I already purchased a tablecloth, display cases, storage boxes, a dolly, cash box, etc. Is there ANYTHING else I should be considering? Thanks for the help guys. |

Price your stuff to move and where you are making a profit you are happy with. If the other schmucks in the room are trying to get full book for their cards....just laugh your ass off all the way to the bank when you move more then everyone else in the room.
People love to dig so if you have dime, quarter boxes etc......people will dig all during the show. Showtards love to flock to tables that have some action. Good luck and watch out for any guys ripping wax with their teeth then dropping trou and pissing on the floor.
Maybe if I stick your head through that window over there you'll get unconfused. Give me the feckkin money. -- Nicky Santoro http:/www.photobucket.com/nd3 |

Um, okay... forget what I said about lamenting the fact that
wasn't a Friday cliffhanger...
I have to draw WHAT?!
A recurring comment one will encounter while listening to
commentaries is that the writers write whatever they want without worrying about the fact that someone will have to draw whatever complex madness they've come up with later.
As someone who both writes and draws his own comic, I have nobody to blame but myself when that happens, and panel five of this comic is an example of that. I'd been dreading that panel for
"I have to draw Cheerleadra Elliot falling from the sky and landing in the middle of traffic?! Who wrote this--oh. Right."
Thanks a lot,
Jurassic Park
I don't know if it originated with
Jurassic Park
toys, but that's where I first remember encountering the term "battle damage" with toys. The idea was that you could remove parts of the dinosaurs to reveal "battle damage!"
Even as a kid, I found this disturbing. Not because of the basic concept of having a way to make the toys look like they've been in fierce battle, but because the
Jurassic Park
dinosaur battle damage basically involved removable plastic skin that would reveal red flesh and bones underneath. A bit freakishly gory for kids toys, no?
Anyway, the point I'm laboriously reaching is that whenever I draw characters in injured states, I imagine the words "BATTLE DAMAGE!" as though they were being said in a toy commercial. Good job there, brain. You really know what to
latch onto...
Come to think of it, I seem to remember the JP toys referring to it as "Dino Damage", so maybe I heard "Battle Damage" somewhere else. It's no surprise the damage of the dino variety is what I remember, though. Seriously, what was up with that? I was a kid with a T-Rex toy whose side you could rip off to reveal a bloody ribcage, and then I lost that flesh so it was always dino damaged, and... gah. Bizarre and gross.

With an administration that has continuously assaulted all manner of consumer and environmental protections, lawsuits and punitive damages have been one of the best protections ordinary citizens have against corporate maleficence. If Bush is successful in removing or severely limiting punitive damages, corporations will have a lot less compunction about covering up illegal dumping of pollutants, lying about the effectiveness of their products, and concealing negative side effects of their new drugs when they know that even if they are found out the damages will be, say, $75,000 instead of $5 million.
Make no mistake, some tort reform is needed, especially medical liability reform, but blanket limitations on all tort settlements of the type Bush is proposing would be a severe blow to one of the most important protections ordinary citizens have against the soulless profit-seeking of large corporations - the ability to sue them in the face of government inaction - and would in some cases quite literally allow corporations to get away with murder.

The vast majority of people think that even legal tax avoidance schemes are wrong, according to new polling.
A new survey by YouGov found that 59 per cent of people think it is "unacceptable" to legally avoid tax, compared to only 32 per cent who think it is reasonable.
Strong opposition to the practice was recorded despite pollsters going to great pains to emphasise the difference between legal tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion.
Many legal tax avoidance schemes are openly advertised by financial services companies and some Conservative MPs have gone as far as to defend the practice.
In a debate on tax avoidance in Parliament this week Conservative MP Jacob Rees Mogg said that "respectable families" engaged in the practice and argued that it was totally different to illegally evading taxes.
"There is no obligation on anybody to pay more tax than the law requires and even the most respectable families have schemes of arrangements to minimise things like death duties, whereas tax evasion is a very serious criminal offence which should be come down on with the full force of the law," he said.
In 2003 a young George Osborne appeared on BBC Two's the Daily Politics programme advising a caller on how to avoid paying tax using "clever financial products".
Although the public as a whole are against the practice, respondents were spilt by social class: Those in the upper middle class ("ABC1") were far more likely to defend the practice than those in working class occupations.
Labour, Ukip and Green supporters believe that avoiding tax is wrong by large margins, while Conservative and Lib Dem supporters tended to think legal tax avoidance is acceptable by a small margin.
The wording of the question asked by YouGov, who conducted the survey on behalf of the Sunday Times newspaper, was:
"As you may know, there is a difference between tax AVOIDANCE, whereby companies/people use artificial but legal methods to minimise the tax they pay, and tax EVASION, where companies/people act illegally to pay less tax, or no tax at all. In general, do you think it is acceptable or unacceptable to LEGALLY avoid paying tax?"
The UK's tax authority HMRC estimates Britain's tax gap to be £32bn a year, though some researchers have suggested it could be even higher.

Benjamin Lawsky has worked hard to earn his moniker in France these days: L'homme qui fait trembler les banques, the man who makes the banks tremble.
The head of the fledgling Department of Financial Services in New York has certainly shaken BNP to its core.
The record fine of nearly $9bn (£5.3bn) imposed on the sanctions-busting bank – confirmed last night with accompanying restrictions on clearing dollar transactions – was so tough that it has led to squeals on this side of the Atlantic that Mr Lawsky and his regulatory ilk in the US are acting with an eye to patriotic, rather than legal, duties.
It is not a new claim against the man widely compared with Eliot Spitzer, the former New York governor who pursued Wall Street's titans remorselessly before being laid low by a prostitutes scandal.
In fact it was back in 2012, during Mr Lawsky's run-in with Standard Chartered, that such complaints first arose. The case is most widely remembered for Standard Chartered's now-departed finance chief, Richard Meddings, supposedly having raged against "fucking Americans" telling the rest of the world how to behave. The bank furiously denies any such quote, but the words carried within them a widely held feeling in London, and now in Paris, that New York and Washington are protectionist bully boys looking to shore up Wall Street.
But the statistics do not entirely bear that out. Take JPMorgan Chase, the posterboy for all-American financial savvy during the financial crisis. US watchdogs fined it $1.7bn in January over the Madoff affair; $13bn in November 2013 over toxic mortgage-backed securities; and $920m last September for the London Whale scandal (although part of that fine went to UK regulators). It also paid part of a shared $25bn settlement in February 2012 for unfairly foreclosing on Americans' homes.
Bank of America, too, paid $11.6bn and $9.5bn in US fines over duff mortgage assets it sold the state-owned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, plus $8.5bn to investors sold duff mortgage-backed securities.
Of the Europeans, meanwhile, fines ranging from $1bn to $2.6bn have been levied by the US on Credit Suisse, HSBC, Rabobank and a few others. They were mainly for money laundering, sanctions busting and Libor fixing.
Big fines, of course, but when set against some of those on US banks, even BNP's does not seem too outrageous.
The banking analyst Chris Skinner argues in his blog: "The difference in the fines is not the scale but the rule. American authorities are punishing overseas banks for breaching US rules on trading whilst fining their own banks for screwing their customers and the government."
The issue with Mr Lawsky, as the Columbia Law School professor John C Coffee Jr points out, is that he has huge powers over foreign banks that outweigh even his jurisdiction against many US banks. Pretty much all overseas banks operate through his state.
He also tends to muscle in on other investigations to get a cut for New York. So it was that he scraped $715m from the $2.6bn Credit Suisse paid federal authorities over tax evasion. As James Cox, professor of law at Duke University, says: "Somebody else has already tackled the company, is taking them down, and he climbs on top of the heap."
Whether he's putting his own team to work, or climbing on others' backs, the result for banks on both sides of the Atlantic will be the same: more fines. Mr Skinner predicts another five or six major new areas including ripping off customers, insider trading and general mis-selling of financial products.
And that all means hundreds of millions more dollars in fines for Mr Lawsky and his fellow watchdogs.

Fill a jar a little more than half full with fresh water. Make a solution of salt water, and add a drop or two of food coloring to it. Pour the salt water solution into a plastic cup with a small hole in the bottom, and then place the cup in the jar with fresh water. (The only connection between the fresh and salt water should be via the hole in the bottom of the cup.) With the right combination of hole size and salt concentration, you will see an oscillating current develop in the jar. Experiment to find which hole sizes and salt concentrations work best.

This paper presents the influence of different types of transformer winding connections on the propagation of voltage sags caused by symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in the power system. Single and multiple transformers are considered. A particular propagation of voltage sags from customer buses to industry facilities through the transformers employed at the entrance of the facilities is highlighted in the study. Different winding connections, dominantly used in the U.K. distribution networks, were modeled at the service transformers. The study was performed on a generic distribution network, and a bus from the 11-kV distribution network was randomly selected. It was found that the performance of voltage sags inside the industry facility is a function of transformer connections used at the service transformer.

Debbie Chatman Bryant—an award-winning nurse who is working to prevent cancer in medically underserved communities—traces her current work to the early days of her career as a medical-surgical nurse in South Carolina's coastal region.
In those days, Bryant, RN, DNP, was struck by what seemed like a revolving door at the hospital where she worked. "I saw patients I knew come back over and over again," she says. "They were almost like family."
One patient in particular—a woman with diabetes—stands out in her memory. Bryant had counseled the woman about proper dietary goals and self-care, but members of her family would visit her and bring the kind of high-fat, high-sugar foods she was told she should avoid: fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, cakes, and pies. The family was supportive, but the food they brought was not helpful to the patient or the family, and the woman kept coming back with avoidable complications, Bryant said.
The patient's family saw food as a way to express love rather than as a way to nourish the body, Bryant realized. And that, she thought, needed to change. But Bryant—herself a native of South Carolina's Lowcountry and a devotee of the region's cuisine and culture—knew change would only come with a culturally sensitive approach to health care. Bryant's patients, in other words, were not about to overhaul their entire diet to meet certain health goals, but they might be willing to tweak their favorite foods to make them more healthy.
Armed with that epiphany, Bryant pursued a doctoral degree in the practice of nursing and took a position as assistant director of Cancer Control and Outreach at Hollings Cancer Center Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, S.C. The program addresses population-based research that will lead to a reduction in cancer morbidity and mortality in South Carolina through focused efforts in tobacco control and cancer health disparities.
"I've seen families provide incredible support to one another in sickness," she said. "Now we need to support each other in health. And that means making healthy foods part of our family traditions, or taking a walk together after a family meal. We can do this. We have to."
Bryant is also an assistant professor at the college of nursing at the Medical University of South Carolina; president of the Charleston Chapter of the Alliance for Digital Equality; president of the Tri-County National Black Nurses Association; and a 2012 recipient of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Community Health Leaders Award, which honors exceptional men and women who have overcome significant obstacles to tackle some of the most challenging health and health care problems facing their communities.
Targeting Medically Underserved Communities
In her role at Hollings, Bryant aims to help medically underserved communities overcome the many barriers to health and health care in a culturally sensitive way. To do so, she:
- has expanded outreach efforts and changed the center's approach to communication;
- organizes and trains lay patient navigators to help with diagnostic follow-up visits and treatment;
- developed a voucher system to cover the cost of co-payments and eliminate financial barriers;
- utilizes mobile screening vans to provide care in non-traditional sites and help address patients' fears of costs and distrust of the existing systems; and
- has shared information about opportunities to participate in clinical trials and to take advantage of other treatment options.
"A lot of the problems involved infrastructure," she said. "We're trying to get the systems in place to make this work."
Bryant's ultimate goal, however, is to reach healthy individuals in a culturally sensitive way to prevent health problems from occurring in the first place, and to educate them about how to control and treat them when they do arise.
The work has paid off. The number of the center's mobile unit screenings increased from 1,300 in 2006 to more than 2,000 yearly since 2010. More than half the patients screened were uninsured or underinsured, and nearly two-thirds of those served say they would not have been screened without access to the mobile van. The program has decreased the number of patients who do not return for care following an abnormal screening test from 11 percent in 2009 to fewer than 5 percent since 2010.
She has also successfully launched "Community Compass: Navigating Toward Healthy Living," a series of grassroots health information sessions. The first, which took place in 2011, drew nearly 300 people. Guest speakers educated the audience about the importance of reducing their risk of cancer, healthy lifestyle choices, and opportunities to participate in clinical trials.
That "phenomenal" event led to efforts to ban smoking in a local community, and to tailored nutrition and active-living interventions to address obesity and healthy lifestyles. In 2014, Community Compass will focus on increasing physical activity through dance. "Dancing and music are rich to our culture," she said. "We're thinking about exercise through non-traditional means but in a way that is important to our culture."
Recognition as a 2012 RWJF Community Health Leader is certainly helping Bryant achieve her mission. The award carries a prize of $125,000: $105,000 to enhance the leader's work and $20,000 as a direct award for the leader's accomplishments. Bryant is using the personal award to pay off her student loans and is using the rest to help local organizations meet area needs.
"I'm very passionate about what I try and do every day," she said. "I hope the family I used to see in the hospital has taken a different approach to health and health care as a result of our work. I hope a new message is delivered about how to stay out of the hospital, rather than what to bring when visiting."

Jewish World Review Feb. 7, 2011 / 3 Adar I, 5771 Damages and Penalties By Alan Douglas
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Drachenfutter is an important German custom. The doctrine of Clean Hands is an important principle in old English law of equity. If you are not familiar with these, allow me to introduce you to them. By remembering these two items, Drachenfutter and Clean Hands, you can be spared some pain with future contracts, and personal relationships.
In the ancient times, before there were laws, codes, legal rules, and regulations, if a dispute occurred, it was left up to the deity to decide the consequences. Ancient priests, oracles, witch doctors, caliphs, and kings ruled with divine authority, making it difficult to appeal. As the status of the people went from being slaves, subjects, and property, to citizens with rights, rules were developed by Hammurabi, Napoleon, and Martha Stewart.
When someone hurts another person, an issue may well arise regarding who caused the injury. This essay does not address causation, just damages and penalties that are called remedies. To "even the score" the legal system imposed damages and penalties. Some legal systems contain built-in remedies. In England the losing party in a lawsuit pays damages, penalties, plus the winning side's legal costs and fees. Civil law has formulas to calculate what damages and penalties you're entitled to. If you are injured on the job, there are Worker Compensation tables that will determine how much a finger, arm, toe, leg, or eye is worth in your state. Citizens involved in dry-cleaning cases are shocked to discover their favorite dress or shirt that was ruined by the cleaners is worth what a four-year old shirt is valued at Goodwill. If you want replacement value get insurance and sentimental value is best discussed with your therapist. Since in America you pay your own lawyer, the net amount is the amount of a four-year old shirt less your legal fees and costs. You won't have sufficient funds to buy another four-year old shirt! The courts make it nearly impossible to come out ahead, or even.
The English laws of equity which we inherited require that before you can ask for a remedy, you have "Clean Hands". You cannot come into court asking for justice if you have done something bad. George Orwell said, "Restatement of the obvious is sometimes the first duty of a responsible leader. There is a lot of talk about our rights and duties but legal systems really need common, self-interest as their primary tenet. This reminds me of a sign in the bathroom of a grocery store which summed up this principle with the warning, "All Employees Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Protect you, our customers, and our jobs!" Restaurants and food stores know that if infectious diseases are spread due to the negligence of their employees, it will result in lawsuits, criminal charges, and maybe even the closing of that business. If customers are afraid, or do not trust a company, that company is doomed. It doesn't matter if the employees did not exercise sufficient care, or if it was caused by intentional acts; the result is the same either way. Breaking the rules can endanger us all, and it can disqualify you from legal protection. So, if you are naughty, you may not be entitled to be compensated for your damages.
When you sign contracts or agreements, you can agree in advance on what the compensation for a mistake up will be. If it's outrageously high and not logically related to your damages, the courts may designate it as a "penalty" and refuse to enforce it. You can place a clause in your agreements called "liquidated damages" with the amount of damages decided in advance (or by some formula agreed on in advance as well). If you are hurt because of the other party's misconduct or negligence, you are entitled to the agreed amount. Every day the builder is late in finishing the construction of your house is worth�" Thinking about damages before you sign agreements is a good way to protect yourself. It also helps to avoid problems. It forces both parties to talk about what each of them is responsible for and what will happen if either one fails to perform as promised.
Reviewing what can go wrong and how it will be fixed before you work with partners is not considered negative thinking. In fact, it is smart thinking. Business and relationships could use more "what if" conversations. Liquidated damages can take many forms. "Drachenfutter" is a German form of liquidated damages. Before going out to carouse, drink till all hours, and party hearty, German husbands go out shopping to buy their wives a nice gift. The husbands have the gift wrapped and ready to bestow upon their angry (and appreciative) wife upon their late arrival home.
In personal relationships you have to appreciate what you are going to pay in damages and penalties. In comedian, George Burn's autobiography he describes how his wife Gracie responded to a guest who admired an exquisite chandelier in their home. Gracie thanked the guest for their compliment and said it was a bit extravagant and lavish, but it had been a present from George, after he had an affair. Gracie sighed, and added, "If George would only have another affair there's this wonderful antique armoire I would like to buy."

He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a San Diego cosmetic surgery doctor ,to fit into those blue suede shoes of yours. But Elvis said in the Ghetto nobody can afford a San Diego plastic surgery doctor. Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger. Then I'm gonna go round and see Michael Jackson and we're gonna watch a waaaay cool make-over show featuring some Tijuana dentists on the TV in the back of my Hummer.

Scotland wing Webster has only registered two replacement appearances for Edinburgh so far this season after suffering a hamstring injury.
Now, after starting for Scotland A last weekend, he has reclaimed Edinburgh's number 11 jersey for the visit of high-flying Ospreys - much to the delight of Moffat.
Moffat said: "Webbo (Simon Webster) is looking sharp and has got some game-time under his belt - we're looking forward to welcoming him back into the starting line-up.
"We realise that Sunday's match is going to be really tough; Ospreys are top of the table because they have been consistently good.
"But league positions can change very quickly and it is important that we make the most of our home advantage to put ourselves back in the play-off spots."
Webster's inclusion into the starting line-up is one of four changes with flanker Ross Rennie returning after a knee injury, lock Steve Turnbull promoted into the side after captaining Gael Force and Mike Blair being handed both the scrum-half berth and captaincy for the match.
As a result, it will be the first time that Mike has lined up alongside younger brother David in Edinburgh's starting team since November 2007.
Meanwhile, hooker Andrew Kelly - impressive against Munster - will record his 100th Magners League appearance for Edinburgh on Sunday.
Now in his sixth season as a professional, the 27-year-old becomes only the second Edinburgh player to reach that career milestone; following in the footsteps of front row colleague, Allan Jacobsen.
Full-back Jim Thompson is ruled out with a minor knee injury, but the Scotland A internationalist, who signed a new deal on Wednesday, is expected to be back for the visit of Scarlets on Friday 26 March.
On the bench, hooker Sean Crombie returns to the squad after a lay-off with an ankle injury and he is joined by Scotland internationalist Phil Godman.
Long term casualty Simon Cross is still out with a knee injury along with Andrew Easson (knee). Allister Hogg is still ruled out with a hip injury and Chris Paterson is expected to be out for eight weeks with a damaged kidney.
Edinburgh 15 Ben Cairns 14 Mark Robertson 13 Nick De Luca 12 John Houston 11 Simon Webster 10 David Blair 9 Mike Blair (captain):1 Kyle Traynor 2 Andrew Kelly 3 Geoff Cross 4 Scott MacLeod 5 Steve Turnbull 6 Alan MacDonald 7 Ross Rennie 8 Roddy Grant

Cheap Android tablets are all over the place, and generally not any good. They often have resistive touch screens instead of capacitive ones, are slow, or have no access to the Android Market. For Ice Cream Sandwich, MIPS Technologies is trotting out its existing Honeycomb tablet - which, you guessed it, uses a MIPS processor - licensed to Ainovo. For some reason, that makes this $99 tablet with capacitive screen kind of interesting.

RE: How much of an effect on compatability

in reply to "How much of an effect on compatability"
does this have? Many Android apps use native ARM code to get around pitfalls of the Dalvik VM. I'm assuming that none of those will run on a MIPS-based Android system without a recompile.
Not that many. Since NDK restricts usage of Assembly, you would mostly have to change the NEON functionality.

Are you going to vote on Tuesday?
She voted when she had to pay *poll taxes. How many of you would pay for the right and privilege and honor of voting?
She voted during the many years where people with her skin color wouldn't have been allowed to share a lunch counter or a water fountain with people who have my skin color. How many of you would have cared so passionately about a country who seemed to care so little about you?
She voted this year when she was too weak to travel to the polls. She cared so much that she had 2 of her children help her fill out a mail in ballot. How many of you have missed a vote because you were too sick or too busy to go?
Its people like Amanda Jones who have made this country great. She cares and she exercises the RIGHT and the PRIVILEGE of voting. I have voted in every national election since I was old enough to vote. I am ashamed to admit there are a few local elections I have missed voting in. I'm going to do my best to never miss another election. I want to be like Amanda Jones when I grow up.
I don't care who you vote for...I just want you all to get off your butts and VOTE!
*Poll taxes were meant to keep black and poor people from voting.

I believe that my generation of women was the first to come of age with most of us believing that the world would be fair to us.
This isn't always true but I am strengthened by the inspiration of countless suffragettes.
Can you even imagine being a woman and NOT being able to vote?
Thanks to the suffragettes, America has women voters and wide range of women candidates, and we are a better country for it! Women have voices and choices! Just like men.
But few people know ALL of the suffering that our suffragettes had to go through, and what life was REALLY like for women.
Now you can subscribe FREE to my exciting e-mail series that goes behind the scenes in the lives of eight of the world's most famous women to reveal the shocking and sometimes heartbreaking truth of HOW women won the vote.

You bet we are going to go and vote.
Sometimes, I wonder though who exactly is in charge of counting these votes and if they are truly being counted in the correct way.
Makes you wonder is it really worth it?
Do others really read those booklets and read both the pros and cons before voting?
Sometimes the signs that you see along the roads and in the yards can be misleading. Such as a no vote means yes or a yes vote can mean no. Confusing isn't it?
Just like ads the Media plays for one candidate more than the other. What happened to the other candidates? I thought there were more than two parties.
These are questions that come to my mind whenever it is time to vote. - 11/1/08, 12:39 AM

VINCENT I. WATSON (pyramids of mars)
VÖ-Datum: 04.03.2013
Musikstil: Ambient
Artikelnummer: 1816143 / POMLP001
Once in a while, something comes along that really grabs your attention, makes you take notice and after a time you grow to love it. Very rarely does something come along that you can call a Masterpiece.
2013 will see the release of Vincent I. Watson�s 8th studio album on Pyramids of Mars, entitled �Serene�. Matt Edwards aka Radio Slave�s selected this Album to be the follow up to �Maxxi & Zues - Quiet Village Remixes: Too High to Move� on his new imprint dedicated to the cutting edge of audio and visual art.
This brings the birth of a new species in Watson�s enigmatic and versatile producers career, and one which announces the arrival of music for TV and Film under his full name: Vincent I. Watson.
In the past 18 years, his releases on Planet E, Tresor, Delsin, and his own label Bio have had a big impact on the global electronic music scene for setting a personal, hypnotic perspective of groovy, melodic and atmospheric sounds. His hardware-only live performances and high quality releases have earned him great critical acclaim and the title as one of the world�s leading electronic musicians.
Having made the transition, Vince has recently released a sample DVD free on the front cover of Computer Music Magazine, and has also had his music featured on Sky One�s TV Series Mad Dogs series 2.
While the aspect of moving pictures for this project is yet to be disclosed, the cover image is from a series called �Today�s Levitation� by contemporary artist and photographer Natsumi Hayashi. http://yowayowacamera. com/
With classical training at the Royal Academy for Art, Music and Drama in Glasgow, Vincent mastered the Piano before electronic and ambient music grabbed his attention. These influences are all clear in his productions which are elegant and seductive with emotional ambiences generated by his skills of manipulating a keyboard, to bring complex multi-chords and dense yet fully melodic patches to contemporary electronic music.
Many will compare thi

The life of D.H. Lawrence: an illustrated biographySince his death in 1930 at the age of 44, D H Lawrence has become a legend as both a writer and a man. In The Life of D H Lawrence, Keith Sagar has written an authentic, vivid biography, drawing on the five thousand five hundred Lawrence letters now available, and the many accounts of him by his relatives, friends and contemporaries. He tells the story directly and dramatically, revealing the dynamics of Lawrence's worldwide quest (both as traveler and as 'thought-adventurer') for a way of life he could recognize as both fully human and deeply religious. The book is illustrated throughout with 150 pictures, many in color, including those of his friends and associates, places he lived in and wrote about, and his paintings. In The Life of D H Lawrence, Keith Sagar has written not only about Lawrence the creator of some of the finest works in every genre of modern literature, but also the creator of 'that piece of supreme art, a man's life'. |

The Cumberland Three Biography
This short-lived US attraction was formed in 1960 at the behest of Roulette Records, who were anxious to find a group similar to the Kingston Trio. Folk duo John And Monty, John Stewart (5 September 1939, San Diego, California, USA, d. 19 January 2008, San Diego, California, USA) and John Montgomery, were joined by bass player Gil Robbins to form the new act. The Cumberland Three remained together for 18 months, but although their debut album, Folk Scene U.S.A. , showed promise, two successive sets were less rewarding. Mike Settle, later of the New Christy Minstrels, augmented the trio in concert, but the group broke up when Robbins left in the summer of 1961. He subsequently joined the Highwaymen, while Stewart, already an accomplished songwriter, replaced Dave Guard in the aforementioned Kingston Trio.
