So, if you had the opportunity to curate a three day festival..
Which headliners would you choose for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
My choices would have to be:
Friday - Animal Collective
Saturday - Burial
Sunday - Bon Iver
I don't have time to curate a festival, sorry
Is what I'd say to them.
Thanks dude
Your one sounds shit and boring, btw.
Bon_Chic_Bon_Genre and Alex-in-Ciderland this'd thisHe's only just heard of Bon Iver since he won that Grammy.
Jumping on the bandwagon.
dis-charge this'd thisSaw him in Glasgow touring their first album, so you couldn't be more wrong.
And you said "he" won that Grammy award.
I think you'll find "they" as the band won the Grammy, Bon Iver isn't his name.
Did you get your information from the Daily Mail's gossip column?
I think you did.
I saw him play in a loft in New York City before he even released his first album. I was working on the organ sounds.
I was there when Panda Bear started up his first band.
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime.
I was in that fucking log cabin with him when he was making his first record
going "come on Bon, Emma was a bitch anyway"
I was the first to play Daft Punk to the rock kids at CBGBs
I bet
Everybody thought you were crazy.
andyvine this'd thisI heard that everyone you know
Is more relevant than everyone I know
I've never been wrong.
I used to work in the record store.

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.39 / 5.00 6,803 ViewsThe entirety of this was made over the course of the last seven days. I'm actually really surprised at how efficient I was here, since I managed to get around 25 seconds done each day.
Even though the actual animation is not pristine or anything and the frame-by-frame is sort of choppy and shaky, I'm proud of how this turned out, mainly due to the atmosphere of it and the story. I think this time it actually has some meaning behind it. Also, this time I actually have some REAL INSTRUMENTS in the music. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? OMG. Except I mixed them in with synthesized versions of themselves so it's occasionally hard to tell. Oh well.
Edit: Wow, I'm genuinely amazed by the quality of these reviews! There's been a lot of thought put into each and every one of them. Thanks so much, everyone!
Very cool video!
Anybody that gives this less then a 10....well FROWNY FACE FOR THEM!
Great Concept
I think it was an all around, well made movie. You did an amazing job on everything, and it definitely shows, great work.
i mean it's a great concept!
plot: "a world where you have to hide your {real} emotions under masks and sometimes even fake it and act like biotic\artifical robots or androids?..just to make people happy or unhappy..a society that forces you to do this day in and day out, wow and those who think differently and choose to be free are persecuted? (seems like martial law to me.)
but it was really good. the frame rate was stable, the emotions they tried to convey showed on their masks well..the music synced perfectly, i couldn't find anything wrong with it.
. this deserves to be in the top 100 great job. .it's funny it feels like this is how the world acts now an days..now all we need is some masks..(preferbly V FOR VENDETTA ones. :D), i feel inspired now to write a story about a society that's governed by a single law. thank you.:) oh and would love to see more of these awesome animations!
well, if "stable" means animated at 18 fps in twos, then I guess so....
Anyway, thanks :)
this messed up world IS our world.
in some cases not really, in others, 100% true. when u leave ur house, do u change ur personality or how u act? (changing masks). if u act the same way no matter where ur at, then good for u cuz u don't have to pretend something ur not. In this case, the boy was forced to act a different way ( the way everyone else is doing) and to not be himself so he can be shuned by society. this is all to familiar with the real world. just be urself, of course shit happens but how u deal with it can change ur future.

Sony misquoted about possible PlayStation phone
Sony's chief operating officer Jim Ryan told the Economic Times of India that a PlayStation phone was "definitely plausible" but later claimed that he was misquoted. A Sony UK spokesperson told ComputerAndVideoGames.com, ""We do have talks with other arms of the Sony family about various topics but I can confirm we are not currently working together on the creation of a PlayStation Phone."
A PlayStation Phone actually makes a hell of a lot of sense. Nobody's been able to make a killer gaming phone, despite sporadic attempts here and there (N-Gage anyone?) and what would basically be a PSP with a 3G connection could be a nice little doodad to add to your collection.

I made a previous thread that had the choices of the H&K USPC and the Sig 226 (if I'm not mistaken). Another pistol caught my eye, which was the Walther P99. The P99 fits my hands very well but if its not reliable, I don't want it. What are your opinions on the reliability of the P99 compared to the 226 and the USPC?
If it's anything like my SW99 you'll find it's very reliable.I love the trigger!
I have a S&W 99 and a Walther P99c and both are excellent weapons. My wife's carry gun is the Walther and it has approx 1200 rounds thru it without a problem. If you get the Walther try to get a German made one as I feel they are better constructed. You can tell from the proof markings. Check out http://www.praxagora.com/lunde/WaltherP99FAQ/ for more info.
I have an SW99 compact and it is a remarkable gun IMO. may be small but I find it manageable even with quite large hands. I am making the assumption that in effect - these are the same guns.
Mine is 9mm which I think is ideal for the size platform.

I have never heard any complaints about either the P99 or SW99. I have always liked them.
In short - just as reliable as your other two choices.
I can tell you this. I do not own one but I wish I did.
I had the chance to buy a Walther P99c about 2 years ago. But, I was somewhat fixated on a different gun at the time, my XD.40sc. Now, I love my XD. I really do. A buddy of mine bought the Walther P99c that I had been considering. He has had it now for about 2 years and has about 2500 rounds through that little gun and not a single malfunction of any kind to report.
I would estimate that of the 2500 rounds through the gun approx. 300 to 400 of them I have fired. That little gun is very accurate and the recoil is very managable. And you are 100% right about the gun fitting your hand. It is really very comfortable. I believe that adds to the accuracy a great deal.
Other than that, I have never heard a really bad range report about one. I have heard people say they didn't like small things but by and large, the majority of people who shoot one seem to really like the gun. Same thing goes for the S&W version.
I am still thinking about getting one myself. The only problem is, you can't find them new with the AS trigger set up anymore as Walther either stopped making it or just stopped selling here in the US. You will just find the QA trigger set up now and I do not particualrly like it that well. But I keep my eyes open on Gunbroker.com for a nice one with the AS trigger.

I saw one operate for 3 days straight during a defensive shooting course... approx 1000 rounds... NO ISSUES...

Common Sense, the rarest of all senses
I have 2 of the P990 (just a P99 w/ DAO trigger) (CDNN closeout at $300). Put about 1,000 rounds through the one for my wife (no problems). 800 rounds through mine, no problems.
Someone mentioned that the AS is no longer available. That is no longer correct. It is being re-introduced in limited quantities. I saw an AS P99 in 40 S&W in Gander Mountain in Erie, PA just a few weeks ago.
Good quality gun. Very comfortable. The only thing I did not like was the feel of the guide rod (plastic). I think you can get an aftermarket metal one.
People report that they really like the feel of the DA/SA trigger. The decocker is definitely one you won't see anywhere else. Some report that they do not like the QA trigger. None of this firsthand.
I planned to use the P990 as house/bedside gun. Easy to use for the wife. When I got them, I was disappointed that to reset the trigger, I had to wait until the 2nd click. I short stroked them alot at first. It is the only concern I have (Will not have the problem w/ AS or QA). I might just get a QA and replace my wife's DAO w/ the QA trigger for my peace of mind.
If the P99 AS had, what I believe a safe way for ME to reholster, e.g., external hammer or grip safety, I would definitely have one for CCW. Since it does not, I only have them for the house or carry w/ the SafePacker.
I own the H&K USP .40c and the Walther (mixed breed) P99 .40 and like both of them.
I have shot probably 2500-3000 rds in the USPc and probably 3-4K in the P99 with no problems with either gun (one mag issue I'll describe later).
I shot ~800 rds in each of two defensive handgun courses without any cleaning during the 3 day courses. NO problems whatsoever.
Only issue I've ever had was baseplate failures (plastic breaks and ejects mag parts and ammo onto table/ground) with the Walther marked P99 mags. This is a well-known problem caused by a bad batch of plastic (since then materials have changed) and S&W replaced them free. It ONLY effects the .40 mags with Walther markings on the plastic mag base. I finally had S&W ship me mag bases that are marked S&W and no problems since that time. This did NOT affect any 9mm mags.
ive never seen a p99 failure. my only complaint is their 3 stage trigger, but i like that better than their DAO or QA options.
The only time I've had a failure is when I was using crappy reloads that were not sized right. It's a damn good gun.

Since breaking up the 3-piece known as the Bens Fold Five, the band's namesake and leader has been busy. Honestly, I am not sure if he even has a record deal anymore, but it doesn't seem to matter. Folds has been releasing EP's etc without a whole lot of fanfare. Here is what Ben has to say on his website.
- "quietly releasing my music as EP's allow me to get it out there as i finish it. with a minimum of hype. it's for people who buy my music anyway. it won't be sold in the big ass chains, because that puts the price up and starts the big ass machinery – press, radio etc. then i have to pose naked at the piano, and really, i'm not a piece of meat, you know. the music will be available at gigs, and online, and on vinyl in some smaller stores."
I procured my copy of Speed Graphic from Itunes after hearing "Wandering" in Kevin Smith's new movie "Jersey Girl." I have always been a fan of Ben Folds, but I was unaware of his new status acting like an unsigned musician with grass roots ep's and unconventional release methods.
As for the music on the EP, it is pretty typical Ben Folds stuff. By that, I mean it is pretty good. From the speedy cover, "In Between Days," to the piano balladeer styled, "Give Judy my Notice," this is something that will tide over Folds fans until he releases a full-length album.
If you try out this EP, do it because of "Wandering." This is one of the most beautiful tracks that Folds has ever written. Although you might never want to hear the song again because it was so overplayed, this song is on par with "Brick." Ben Folds has mastered the grandiose chord progression, while playing it and singing it as delicately as possible. The results are nice. This song will make many mix CD's in the future.

Fascinating, this. As a Windows Phone 7 user, I can attest that it is every bit as good as iOS and Android - heck, in my experience, it is more polished, more consistent, smoother, and faster than either of those two. Yet, despite raving reviews and glowing user comments all over the web, Windows Phone 7 simply isn't selling. Former Windows Phone 7 general manager Charlie Kindel believes it's because neither carriers nor device makers like the control Microsoft exerts over the platform.

The Controversial Photo of Beersheba
For nearly sixty years, the authenticity of this photograph has been hotly debated. See also... | |
Photograph scanned at 300dpi, about 1.5 times original size, uncropped, altered for contrast/brightness | |
The photograph first appeared as a copied snapshot passed around among light horsemen on the Palestine front in 1918. By December 1920, when an exhibition of war photographs toured Australia under the direction of Donovan Joynt, VC, the Beersheba picture was "a notable exhibit". Joynt recorded that the photograph was "under constant discussion" and the theory that it actually showed the Belah re-staging had already been advanced. However, this notion was effectively squashed when Brigadier General Grant (who had directed the charge) and members of his staff examined the photo and pronounced that while the landscape in it tallied with that at Beersheba, it did not match the terrain at Belah. Grant also said that the charge was shown in correct formation, finally declaring, "I cannot and will not take exception to the claim made in the Exhibition catalogue that it is a photograph of the actual charge".

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The owner of the Kansas City Power & Light District has filed a defamation lawsuit against attorneys who claimed in an earlier lawsuit that the district discriminated against minority customers.
Cordish Cos. and two related entities filed a defamation suit this week against two attorneys who filed the earlier lawsuit on behalf of Glen Cusimano. Cordish claims that Cusimano's attorneys knowingly made false statements to the news media that damaged the district's reputation.
Cusimano alleges that the district employed white people to provoke confrontations with black people as a way to eject minorities from district clubs in 2012 and 2013.
Cordish denies it used that tactic.
The Kansas City Star reports (http://bit.ly/RwZnxE ) Cusimano's lead attorney, Linda Dickens, reaffirmed the allegations against Cordish on Thursday.

This example illustrates how one can write Logging Filter servlet to provide control over log file.
TutorialsExample program to demonstrate Logging Filter
This example illustrates how one can write Logging Filter servlet to provide control over log file. You can have additional controls over these log files and these all are available to use by implementing "Filter" class. Filters are very important in servlet access and handling due to number of reasons, for example, it encapsulates recurring tasks in a reusable unit, modularizing codes so that they become easy to manage, transforming request from a servlet to JSP page. Most common task for a web application is to format data sent back to client since most clients require different format (e.g in WML,XML etc.) rather than only HTML so to accomplish these tasks of clients, Filtering is important to develop a fully featured Web Application. Filters can perform many different tasks, in which logging is one of the most important task. You can create filter class by implementing javax.servlet.Filter, which has three methods as follows:
init(FilterConfig) is called once by the server to get prepared for service and then it calls doFilter() number of times for request processing.
In this example there is LoggingFilterExample servlet which is writing Remote Address, URI , Protocol of calling JSP file into log file as server calls LoggingFilterExample via logging.jsp. Source code for LoggingFilterExample.java is given as below:
1. LoggingFilterExample.java
mport java.io.*;
LoggingFilterExample writes content in log file by the following method:
filterConfigObj.getServletContext().log() |
2. logging.jsp
<%@ page language="java" %>   <title>Logging Filter Example</title>
Logging Filter
 This filter writes log file of Tomcat Web Server.
 See log file of Web server.
   |
When this JSP file is called by the server then through the filter mapping LoggingFilterExample filter would be called and it will write content into log file of your web server. To do working we have to do mapping in the web.xml deployment descriptor. <filter> and <filter-mapping> element requires <filter-name> to tell the name of filter to which you want to map a servlet or URL pattern. This mapping is as follows:
3. web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/ xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4"> <display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name> <description>Welcome to Tomcat</description> <filter> <filter-name>LoggingFilterExample</filter-name> <filter-class>LoggingFilterExample</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>LoggingFilterExample</filter-name> <url-pattern>/logging.jsp</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> </web-app> |
To run this example you have to follow these few steps given as below:
By typing above URL, the opened page would be like this
and now go and see your tomcat's logs/localhost.<current date>.log file. Last few lines in this file would be like this.

About time too!
"Nearly 60 percent of viewers polled said they trust the corporation less than they did before two widely-publicized recent scandals,"...The over-65 group showed the biggest decrease in trust, with 67 percent saying they had lost confidence in the BBC.
Lots more reasons not to trust the BBC here.

Jewish World Review December 4, 2012/ 20 Kislev, 5773 Meet the Undressed: Newswomen on TV By Froma Harrop
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
On a recent "Meet the Press," host David Gregory presided in a tailored jacket and tie. Panelists Al Sharpton, David Brooks and Ken Burns appeared similarly professional. But the two female panelists, Andrea Mitchell and Carly Fiorina, seemed ready for cocktails, not coffee, in form-fitting dresses, arms naked to the world.
"Meet the Undressed" -- or, to put it more melodramatically, "Meet the Oppressed." In addition to saying intelligent things, the women seemed required to flaunt their flesh and blink under three layers of eye shadow. They were, sartorially speaking, inferior.
Half naked may be the babe rule for entertainment shows, but must that dress code extend to women of substance on news programs? So it would seem.
I'm not the first woman to be astounded by the dolls on daytime cable news, their overall impression being arms, legs and lip gloss. Why anyone would think "sex sells" on information-oriented news shows is beyond me. The audience can find more and better (sex) on other channels.
Fiorina is a serious woman. She was CEO of Hewlett-Packard and a candidate for a U.S. Senate seat in California. But sleeveless in pistachio green, she looks less authoritative than Al Sharpton. Mitchell is NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent, for heaven's sake. Why does she have to display her bare triceps in a red sheath at the age of 66? (I don't care how good her arms are.) A professional newswoman shouldn't have to do that at age 22.
By contrast, filmmaker Ken Burns gets away with (and looks fine in) the nerd combo of white shirt, brown jacket and matching brown tie. We couldn't see the panelists' footwear, but one doubts that Gregory, Brooks or Sharpton walked on the set tottering on stilettos. Such movement-inhibiting shoes would have been entirely plausible on Fiorina or Mitchell.
What the women gained in attention, they lost in stature. And in many cases, the women would rather not be vying for that sort of attention.
News executives and their stylists are pressuring smart women to serve cheesecake with the expertise -- and justify the ugly business as evidence of gender equality: Ladies, you don't have to prove anything anymore, so forget about those '80s power suits and wear whatever party dress you want to on "Meet the Press."
"Ten years ago, professional dress meant a Talbots suit for women," the head of a marketing firm that consults with news networks told The Washington Post. Things have changed for the better," he said. "The audience has equal regard for female and male anchors. It's given women far more liberty to be feminine."
A crock.
If no one has to prove anything, why doesn't David Gregory wear a cut-off T-shirt and flip-flops?
Ann Curry, former co-anchor of NBC's "Today," told a women's magazine how she was pressed to wear "ridiculously high-heeled shoes." Mika Brzezinski complained that when she started on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," she was pushed into clothes that were "short, skimpy, tight." She somehow escaped and now wears sweaters and collared shirts, which is what Joe wears.

Great Bay Rod Company WB 664-2
Score 2.93
6' 6", 4-Piece, MSRP $329.99, AA 61, ERN 3.12
Jim Stuard's Comments: As with all the Great Bay rods, it has a nice tube that you could probably use as a weapon in a bar fight. The stenciling is difficult to read. I like snake guides and the general aesthetics of the rod. Some of the best wraps and tipping of all the rods in the shootout. Points for alignment dots. On the whole, it's a better 3wt, as it only loads well with a lot of line out. Best of the Great Bay rods but needs a bit more refinement.
Joe Cornwall's Comments: This is a good looking rod that felt shorter than it's 6'6" stature in my hands. While I think the quality of the cork seat is beyond reproach, it's simply too big for the rod. The balance point with the diminutive Bass Pro reel is at the mid-point of the grip, and this makes the rod more apt to throw tailing loops in my hands. Be careful with anything over 3 ounces fully loaded. The rod has speed and power, but I found it difficult to control that power and find a delicate delivery that retained a sense of confidence. I tend to favor slower to medium action fly rods, this is a fast action design. Beyond 25-feet I was hoping to hit my target, not simply delivering the fly without conscious thought. Maybe that's the problem, I had to think a lot about the rod while I was using it. It felt better with the WF3. The DT2 left almost no feedback at short distances. The BP DT3 15-meter line was the very best match, in my opinion. I think this rod might have a place dropping terrestrials into small, protected Pennsylvania spring creeks, but I do so little of that sort of thing that I simply couldn't get excited.
Jeremy Kurtz's Comments: This offering by Great Bay is a graphite 4 piece 6'6" rod. The blank is a nice brown color. Guides are chrome plated single foots. The cork grip is Super grade, and a bit large for a rod this size. The reel seat is cork with two slide bands. While testing the rod, the reel fell off. The cork seat should be turned down just a bit so that the slide bands can get a better purchase on the reel foot. This rod is a bit stiff, and I couldn't get it to load up in short with a 2wt line. It can cast a decent long line though. I think that the rod would be better suited with a 3wt line. Not all that smooth to cast, and a bit sluggish.
Paul Feldman's Comments: The reel seat on this rod is, in my view, the gold standard for a two weight- rod. It's an all cork reel seat with two slide bands. Light weight is a prime factor when buying an ultra-light rod, and a screw locking all metal reel seat can be a significant percentage of the overall weight of the rod. Besides, slide band reel seats just look right on a delicate, 2 weight rod! The grip is very high quality cork, but slightly larger than I like on a rod this size. This rod felt nice and light in the hand, but had lots of body and threw a very tight loop. It threw a very accurate short line and was pretty good at longer distances. This was one of my favorite short rods.

beIN SPORT recently celebrated their one-year anniversary, but there's still no sign of the network on television in Canada, where they have the exclusive rights to Serie A, La Liga and Ligue Un.
In an interview with Yahoo, deputy managing director for beIN Sport Antonio Briceño had this to say:
"We are very keen to launch in Canada. My top priority personally right now is to launch in Canada. We do have the application prepared and ready to go. The regulatory environment in Canada is very particular, and we need to have a sponsor to get coverage there. That's what we are working on. Yes, it's true that if you go to the (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) website, you're not going to find an application pending approval at this very moment. Before we can even apply, we first need to find a sponsor. That has proven to be more challenging than we originally expected. We are working very hard every day, and want to launch in Canada as soon as possible."
In July, I wrote an article about beIN SPORT not being available in Canada and the impact it has had on Canadians not being able to access some prominent European leagues such as Serie A and La Liga. Since it was published, I've had responses from beIN Sport personalities Jeremy St. Louis and Ian Paul Joy, who were both empathetic to the situation. While I was encouraged by their responses, the fact remains that the network still is unavailable to Canadians.
I contacted several of the major satellite and cable providers in Canada, including Bell, Shaw, Telus, and Rogers Cable. Each provider indicated that it was aware that the rights to the Spanish, Italian, and French Leagues were acquired by another entity, but other than the customer making a channel request, there was nothing they could do. The other issue is that the CRTC, the entity that regulates Canadian television and radio channels, has been notoriously difficult when dealing with new TV networks. For instance, the CRTC frowns upon networks having exclusive rights to particular programs and instead attempts to mandate sharing of those rights with Canadian broadcasters. As beIN SPORT has exclusive rights to several of the top soccer leagues, this is a sticking point in trying to get beIN SPORT on Canadian airwaves.
With that in mind, I offer the following two suggestions of how beIN SPORT can make its content available to soccer fans in Canada:
beIN SPORT sub-licenses its rights to another Canadian TV network. I mentioned in my previous article that another network had stated on its website that it was interested in working with beIN SPORT to air its La Liga games. Unfortunately, that interest didn't result in any games being aired last season. Partnering with an existing channel would definitely increase the speed in beIN SPORT getting its games into Canada. However, from a business standpoint, the issue for beIN SPORT would be that it would not generate any more recognition for its own brand. In addition, beIN would likely not have a lot of leverage in potential negotiations with other networks given its situation with the CRTC. If a solution could be reached which was mutually beneficial, viewers in Canada would get beIN SPORT acquired leagues on their televisions fairly soon.
beIN SPORT offers an online service via subscription. Given the difficulty of CRTC's regulations, beIN SPORT could offer a subscription-based service for its viewers. Currently, only individuals with active subscriptions to beIN SPORT with their cable providers in the US have access to viewing the network online (and, even then, only a select number of participating TV providers are offering the online component). Having an online presence would help mitigate some of the damage caused by not having its own network and would allow fans to get easy, clean and stable access to games online. While it wouldn't solve the long-term solution of having beIN SPORT on television, having an online stream would generate revenue as well as give the fans an alternative way to watch their favorite teams in the interim.
Based on the responses I received from beIN SPORT talent, I genuinely believe that beIN SPORT wants to get its content into Canada. While I still take issue with the lack of foresight beIN SPORT had in understanding the CRTC regulations, the bottom line is that as a soccer fan, I'd like to have the network available to Canadians in some form. While the Barclays Premier League remains the most popular league to watch, being able to have regular access to the other leagues will only help the sport's growing popularity in Canada. Hopefully, beIN SPORT will be able to find a timely solution. If that happens, everyone from the viewer to beIN SPORT wins and at the end of the day, isn't that what we all want?

Details of You Say Tomato I Say Shut Up and the Ticket Luck value
You Say Tomato I Say Shut Up is a theatrical presentation of the novel written by authors, Jeff Kahn and Annabelle Gurwitch. Annabelle is a famous writer and actress and she can be seen co-hosting the TBS show called "Dinner and a Movie" and has also appeared as a guest star in television shows such as Boston Legal, The Shaggy Dog and Seinfeld. Annabelle is also the author of her documentary and book named "Fired!" and is a regular columnist for "TheNationMagazine.com". Jeff is also a writer with ample acting experience as well. His most famous writing includes his Emmy Winning wok for "The Ben Stiller Show". Jeff has made appearances in Tropic Thunder, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage.
Their book, You Say Tomato I Say Shut Up was published in 2010 through the Crown Publishing Company. The book presents a hilarious tale of a couple who has realized that their love can only take them this far. Instead of getting into conventional methods to repair and rebuild their intimacy, the couple drops out of therapy and embarks on a medical expedition for their one and only child was diagnosed with VACTERL. VACTERL is a syndrome that presents various birth defects. The defects appear different in each child and can range from vertebral anomalies to anal atresia, radial or renal anomalies, limb defects, and cardiovascular abnormalities. Witness a heart touching tale of a couple who tries to parent their sick child in the best way possible. For them, their marriage and love is like an intense rollercoaster of codependence and complaining.
The book can be called an autobiographical account of Annabelle and Jeff. Throughout the theatrical show you will see that the two are absolute opposites of one another who have to go through tribulations and trials to keep their family together. Watch them struggle as they squirm over money, decisions, romance and children. The name of the book was inspired by the lyrics of a 1937 song called "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" which was written by Gershwin Brothers. The story of the book is similar to the song's point of view and this is why the name perfectly fits.
The seventy five minute show will not only present to the audience the current problems but also trips into the past as the actors reenact previous events. Though the couple may seem as a cliché, what is different about their constant bickering is that Jeff is seen to be the loving one who never forgets anniversaries and is always presenting gifts, while it's Annabelle who is late to special occasions and is very forgetful when it comes to anniversaries and birthdays. If you wish to become a part of a humorous production that is very much relatable, then you should make your way to the You Say Tomato I Say Shut Up show. Get your hands on cheap You Say Tomato I Say Shut Up tickets without any further delay, in order to benefit from the great value being offered.

At one point you love your partner, while you feel like strangling them at another. Judd Apatow has accredited the comedy as being utterly hilarious, even if one cannot relate to it. Lastly Bill Maher described the book to be the most insightful and funniest one he has come across and deemed himself unfit to comment on it.

What are you learning?
The Practice:
Ask questions.
My dad grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. He has a saying from his childhood – you may have heard it elsewhere – that's: "You learn more by listening than by talking."
Sure, we often gain by thinking out loud, including discovering our truth by speaking it. But on the whole, listening brings lots more valuable information than talking does.
Nonetheless, many people are not the greatest listeners. (You've probably noticed this already: at work, at home, when you're trying to work something out with your partner . . .) What's it feel like when they don't listen to you? Or maybe listen, but don't inquire further? It's not good. Besides missing out on important information – including, often most importantly, your underlying feelings and wants – they're sending the implicit message that they're not that interested (even though, deep down, they might be).
Then turn it around: what do you think they feel like if you don't listen that well to them? Not very good either.
Being a good listener brings many benefits: gathering useful information, making others feel like they matter to you, sustaining a sense of connection with people, and stepping out of your own familiar frame of reference.
One of the best ways to listen well is to ask questions. It makes you an active listener, it shows that you've been paying attention, it can get things out in the open (Mommy, is that emperor parading in his boxers?!), and it slows down emotional conversations so they don't get out of hand.
As a therapist, I ask questions for a living. Plus I've been married a long time through thick and thin, and raised two kids. As they say in medicine: good judgment comes from experience . . . and experience comes from bad judgment. So I offer some fruits of my bad judgments!
- Questions can be nonverbal. A raised eyebrow, a nod to say more, or simply letting there be a bit of silence are all signals to the other person to keep going.
- Have good intentions. Don't ask questions like a prosecutor. It's fine to try to get to the bottom of things – whether it's what bothered your mate the most about her conversation with her friend, or what your son is actually doing this Saturday night, or what your role is supposed to be in an upcoming business meeting. But don't use questions to make others look bad.
- Keep the tone gentle. Remember that being asked a question – particularly, a series of questions – can feel invasive, critical, or controlling to the person on the receiving end; think of all the times that kids get asked questions as a prelude to a scolding or other punishment. You could check in with the other person to make sure your questions are welcome. Slow questions down so they don't come rat-tat-tat. And intersperse them with self-disclosure that matches, more or less, the emotional depth of what the other person is saying; this way they're not putting all their cards on the table while you keep yours close to the chest.
- As appropriate, persist in getting a clear answer. If you sense there's still some problematic fuzziness or wiggle room in the other person's answers, or simply more to learn, you could ask the question again, maybe in a different way. Or explain – without accusation – why you're still unclear about what the other person is saying. Or ask additional questions that could help surface the deeper layers of the other person's thoughts, feelings, and intentions.
- Different kinds of questions are appropriate for different situations. For example, trying to get clearer about a project your boss wants you to do is definitely not like a delicate inquiry into what might help things go better in a physically intimate relationship. Questions about facts or plans are usually pretty straightforward. For the murkier, more emotionally charged territory of friends and family, here are some possibilities:
How was _______ for you?
What do you appreciate about _______ ? What bothers (or worries) you about _______ ? Are there other things you're feeling (or wanting) besides ______?
What did this remind you of?
What did you wish had happened, instead?
What's the most important thing here, for you?
What would it look like if you got what you wanted here? (Or: ". . . what you wanted from me?")
How would you like it to be from now on?
Could you say more about _______ ?
If your intentions are good, it's really OK to ask questions. Usually, people welcome them. Take confidence in your good intentions and good heart.

Vehicle Emissions Testing in Pennsylvania
Compare Auto Insurance Rates and Save DMV.com Exclusive!
In Pennsylvania, an emissions test is required for many original registrations, as well as for annual registration renewals. Renewal notices are sent annually to vehicle owners, and indicate whether and by what date an emissions test must be completed, usually no more than two months before the renewal.
A car, van, truck or light-duty truck (9000lbs or lighter) requires an emissions test when:
- It is a 1975 model or newer.
- It is registered in the counties of Allegheny, Beaver, Berks, Blair, Bucks, Cambria, Centre, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Erie, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Mercer, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, Washington, Westmoreland and York.
Emission tests are valid for a period of one year.
A vehicle is exempt from emissions testing when:
- It is a motorcycle.
- It is a vehicle owned for a year and more and has driven less than 5000 miles in the year before the inspection.
- It is a new vehicle and has driven less than 5000 miles.
- Registered antique, collectible or classic vehicles.
- Registered street rods.
For additional information call (800) 265-0921.
Any PennDOT Authorized Emissions Inspection Station can test your vehicle. To save time it would be a good idea to combine both safety inspection and emission testing on the same day.
Fees for the test vary as per the inspection station and it would be advisable to call before visiting.
In case your vehicle fails the emission test, all expenses that will accrue from making the vehicle road-worthy will have to be borne by you. It must then be retested, which if undertaken within 30 days of the first test, will be free of charge. If the vehicle fails the test again, you could receive a one year waiver if proof of spending over $150 in repairs is submitted. This can only be done by a PennDOT Authorized Emissions Inspection Station.
- If you happen to be out of state for over 30 days after the expiration of your vehicle's emission sticker, you will have to retest your vehicle within 10 days of return to the state. It would be advisable to carry proof of having been out of state for the period of time claimed by you.

Why should we have to get
Why should we have to get emission testing in westmoreland and leechburg does not, I think the whole state should have it,we have had it old enough give it to someone eles.let them pay for it and let us have a brake. It sure not fair!
Why am I charged for
Why am I charged for emissions when I am driving a plug-in hybrid. I am doing my part and a tank of gas lasts me a month. Should I not be rewarded for doing so. I thought hybrids were exempt from the emissions test.
I strive to be
I strive to be environmentally strong. I just went through an inspection for the 2002 Jeep Liberty, that I HAD to buy. Because some idiot "t-boned" my old "93 Chrysler. I never had any issues with my 93 vehicle! Now, I had to pay for a "waiver"? I love the earth, and would never do it any harm! I walk around my vehicle when it is running. There are NOT any emissions issues with my vehicle. This is just a scam!!!!
If your vehicle does not have
If your vehicle does not have any emission issues, why did you have to get a waiver? How did it fail the emissions test?
Here's another example of
Here's another example of Pennsylvania corruption: The Philadelphia Parking Authority now writes tickets for expired emissions stickers! Hey, maybe the people who work at the take out window at McDonald's should be given the power to write tickets as well. The PPA is the most corrupt, sleazy organization in the state and I can't imagine how much money they rake in trolling for stickers. Has nothing to do with their mandate!
My inspection station last
My inspection station last year said we failed emissions. Fixed what he thought was wrong...couldn't get the light off. Fixed something else and so on and so on. I mentioned that we should be exempt because we were over $150 and was told that wasn't true. I spent over EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS to get the emissions to pass. That is in addition to the $250 I spent for a new muffler. Now this year that 14 month old muffler is rusted through and isn't warrantied by Meineke. I have to pay over $200 for a new muffler again. Shouldn't that count towards that $150 to repair???
Why do I have emissions and
Why do I have emissions and the other county's around me do not. I drive 9 miles to work and they drive 25 miles in my county. So they are driving 3 times more miles per day and do not need emissions testing. WHAT
Where does this money go ??
Where does this money go ?? Do the whole state are not at all.Ripe off
Owned my 99 metro for 5+
Owned my 99 metro for 5+ years now, 3,343 miles put on it since last inspection. Just paid $53.00 for a "lesser exempt test". Wait what? $53.00 is the full price, and what the heck is a "lesser exempt test"??? When asked i was told, "it went on rollers, not the dynomo." "Exempt means u take a lesser test to pass." Total BS??? If so how do i remedy this situation?
OBD1 95 - OBD2 95 newer all
OBD1 95 - OBD2 95 newer all the way to 75? I'm in OH and I'm blown away by your E-checks how does this work and how can you enforce in this state to pass classic cars (20 years +) ?
Pa. is ripping off people
Pa. is ripping off people with their State Inspections - I just transferred a Leased vehicle from MD to PA - purchased July '14 and has 5150 miles on it. Cannot believe I have to pay for an emissions test on a practically NEW CAR.
Just another way this state takes peoples hard earned money -
How much Pennsylvania
How much Pennsylvania emissions test in Delaware county that each station charges? The station around my house charges $51 plus $5 emission sticker. Is it a normal rate in Delaware County, Pennsylvania?
PA DOT: WAKE UP! The general
PA DOT: WAKE UP! The general public is being screwed by senseless inspection regulations.
Example: Some counties require a gas cap check - about a $15 fee. Although many new vehicles DO NOT EVEN HAVE GAS CAPS, the gas cap check fee is still being assessed on Pennsylvania motorists!
We are being forced to pay for the inspection of components that our vehicles do not even have!!!
PA emissions testing is
PA emissions testing is unnecessarily costly to the general public. The OBDII systems used on 1996 and newer vehicles do THEIR OWN EMISSIONS TEST multiple times every time the vehicle is driven. All that is needed to determine if a vehicle's emissions system is working properly is a $50 OBDII scanner. Instead, the state has mandated an extremely costly system that networks emissions information with Harrisburg. Pennsylvania should follow the lead of many other states and finally get rid of all of this bureaucracy.
My 2010 Totoya Corolla was
My 2010 Totoya Corolla was just in for inspection. I drove less than 5000 miles and the Sticker Issuance Report indicates that is the reason the sticker was issued. Why then did the service department conduct the test and charge me $39.95?
You all are exactly right!
You all are exactly right! Just another way to screw us out of money. Aint enough that we pay all these taxes. Cant get your car to pass....get fined. Much like this Obamacare... so now we are "required" to have health insurance or face a fine! Doesn't exempt us from paying the medical bills. I'm so sick of all these regulations!!! Its PURE BS!
Really see no benefits for
Really see no benefits for this emission testing, other than a way to fill the coffers of this state. Bought a Chevy Volt. Since I rarely use gas will they demand that the car needs a test also? Sheeesh. Robbery.
Get rid of this politically
Get rid of this politically motivated useless PA emissions program. It is additional cost to both the consumer and state to administer. My car passed emissions in Erie County only to find that it won't in Berks County with a recent move. Now I need to spend an additional $150 to try to get it fixed and or apply for a 1 yr waiver. This after I already spent $400 for new brakes all around then I find I fail emissions. Surprise!!!!! DUMP THIS PROGRAM.
The real joke is that you
The real joke is that you can't pass if there is a code stored in the computer that is associated with the check engine light having been on or if the light is on. I went to my GM dealer 5 times with my pontiac Grand prix to get them to repair the issue that turned on the light. They hooked up their computer and then reapired five or six things, even a new gas cap, and my check engine light came back on every time. I'm out over $1000 on top of the cost of testing by the state. I now have to spend even more money to get that light off. Rip off is not the word to describe this crime against taxpayers. By the way have you seen those DOT dump trucks, city buses and semis running around the city billowing black smoke from exhaust to the tune of a thousand times more pollution that the average car....what a joke state testing for car emissions is!!!!!! Test for mechanical safety if you like but dump this tax grab called emissions testing.
What a huge ripoff this
What a huge ripoff this is,Emissions test all vehicles in Pa. or none.Or post guards along county lines to make sure your not driving a non emissions tested vehicle through our county which we have paid for the clean air. Its a hard pill to swallow when i'm paying $70.00 for my inspection and people i work with pay $20.00.
I vote for none....just
I vote for none....just another way for the money hungry government to take your hard earned dollar out of your pocket...it is a big scam

Vonu Pure Lager
December 18, 2009 | 5 Comments
Designed by Fracture | Country: New Zealand
"Objective: The packaging for Vonu Beer was developed as the core component of the brand identity. Vonu Beer is a premium beer, brewed and sold exclusively in the Fiji Islands. The target market are the traditional premium beer buyers, which in Fiji equates to the transient tourist market in bars and resorts, and ex-pats.
Solution: We created a packaging system that combines traditional elements of premium beer architecture with a distinctive "island style". Clean white with gold foils, combined with uncoated board and rough, hand rendered typography helps define the brand personality of Vonu – fun-loving, relaxed and laid back. The brand story is expanded on the packs with a map showing the location of the brewery, reinforcing the message that is authentically Fijian."

WHEN President Bush arrives in London with his wife Laura this week there will be no repeat of the euphoria that greeted Bill and Hillary Clinton's visit to Britain after Tony Blair came to power in May 1997.
Although Mr Clinton's trip was much briefer - less than 24 hours tacked on to the end of meetings elsewhere in Europe - it was so hyped that Mr Blair felt able to boast that the two friends were setting "a new agenda for a new world" with their centre-Left politics.
In a marked change of emphasis, Mr Bush has not been granted the invitation extended to his predecessor to join a Cabinet meeting. Mr Clinton sat at Mr Blair's right hand and delivered a 10-minute homily on the state of the world which won thumps on the table by way of applause.
Nor will there be a repeat of the high-profile evening dinner date when the Blairs took the Clintons to the fashionable Le Pont de la Tour restaurant, overlooking the Thames. The two couples, clearly revelling in each other's company, sat on a riverside terrace only yards from other diners and downed a complimentary bottle of Bollinger. As the party left they were cheered by other guests.
Mr Blair has also previously gone to great lengths to impress European leaders. The celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was called in to cater for an Anglo-Italian summit at Downing Street last year. Romano Prodi, then Italian prime minister, described the meal as "bellissimo". There will not be a "Jamie Oliver moment" for the Bush visit, a senior Government official acknowledged.
Although Mr Bush and Mr Blair seemed to like one another well enough during their first meeting at Camp David in February, there were no signs of the crackling chemistry that lit up the relationship between the Prime Minister and Mr Clinton - nor, for that matter, between their wives.
The relationship between the Labour Government and the Republican administration has been troubled by US plans to build a defence system as protection against missiles from rogue states, dubbed "Son of Star Wars".
Senior figures within the Bush administration have criticised Mr Blair's "wishy-washy" failure to back the project wholeheartedly in the face of opposition to the initiative by many Labour backbenchers.
In contrast, Iain Duncan Smith, the shadow defence secretary and now frontrunner in the Tory leadership race, achieved a coup earlier this year when he pledged full backing for the project.
There has also been some ill-feeling on the American side over Mr Blair's endorsement of the proposed European Rapid Reaction Force, amid fears that Nato will be excluded from its operations.
Mr Bush arrives in London from Washington on Wednesday evening for a visit intended to build on the relations established with Mr Blair when he became the first European leader invited to visit him at Camp David.
Mr Bush has opted for a more traditional approach than Mr Clinton during his longer stay, which includes two nights in England - the first at the elegant Regent's Park residence of America's newly appointed ambassador, Will Farish, an old family friend; the second at Chequers as a guest of the Blairs.
The Bushes, who are believed never to have visited London, will begin with a little informal tourism. On Thursday they visit the British Museum where they will be shown the Rosetta stone and Mexican and American artefacts.
While there, Mr Bush will briefly disturb the quiet of the Reading Room by reading aloud to a group of children as part of his drive to increase the interest of the young in books. He will then visit the Cabinet war rooms near Downing Street.
Lunch at Buckingham Palace will follow, where Mr Bush and his wife Laura will be joined by Mr Farish and his wife, Sarah, and three White House officials.
Mr Bush and his senior officials will spend Thursday afternoon at Chequers discussing issues from missile defence to Kosovo and Iraq, before the Blairs and Bushes sit down to a private dinner.
The schedule mirrors that for the Blairs' visit to Camp David, except that Chequers has no cinema, so the Bushes will be spared having to watch a second-rate movie akin to Meet the Parents, which they watched with the Blairs in February.
There is no danger of Mr Blair inviting the President to stroll to the nearest pub, as John Major once did to Boris Yeltsin. Mr Bush is teetotal and one of his officials said: "That would not really be appropriate."
After leaving Britain the US President will attend the G8 summit of industrialised nations in Genoa, Italy, have an audience with the Pope and visit American servicemen in Kosovo.

Team strategies for choosing finance software
Sponsored by SearchFinancialApplications
Finance software touches every department and function; it's the pulse of the entire organization. Selecting the right software to automate its application processes can mean huge savings in time and money -- and it can boost revenue. Choosing the wrong ERP, accounting or compliance package, however, can spell doom.
In this three-part guide, veteran IT journalist Alan Joch talks to industry observers with advice on how to make sure that doesn't happen -- and it starts with teamwork. Before digging into the high stakes of financial software selection, Joch lays out the steps necessary to put the right people and processes in place. Moving further, Joch emphasizes the importance of marrying specific business needs with the software that is the best fit for your organization. In that piece, Steve Tennant, managing director at Tennant Consulting, explained it this way: "There may be this new mobile app for an iPad available, but so what? What are the benefits to the business?"
To close, readers will get an in-depth look at one company's successful financial application project. And they will find that, true to Joch's word, financial application purchasing is never as obvious as it seems -- and requires significant planning and myriad considerations.

Sir Alex Ferguson's programme column spoke of the need for Manchester United to be "kicking on" in their pursuit of Chelsea. After Nani sealed a familiar fate for Tottenham at Old Trafford by kicking in after he had blatantly handled the ball, even the United manager admitted the goal was "bizarre" while his opposite number Harry Redknapp bemoaned "a farcical way to finish a game".
With seven minutes left, and United defending Nemanja Vidic's first-half goal, Nani tumbled heavily in the Spurs penalty area after a tug of his shirt by Younes Kaboul. The Portuguese winger put his hand on the ball while lying on the turf, which persuaded Heurelho Gomes to put it down for a free-kick. But then Nani, having risen to his feet and determined that the ball might still be "live", sidefooted it into the net.
Ferguson, whose team were also the beneficiaries in 2005 when the same referee, Mark Clattenburg, failed to spot that Pedro Mendes's shot from the halfway line was fumbled over the line by Roy Carroll for what would have been a last-minute winner for Spurs, felt the blame for the confusion lay with Gomes and the referee's assistant, Simon Beck.
"The linesmen didn't flag until after the goal was scored. So he made an error," Ferguson said. "The referee didn't blow his whistle at all, so then Nani went back and the referee said play on. So what can you do? He put the ball in the net.
"The goalkeeper should know better. He's an experienced player but I thought he made a mess of it," added Ferguson. "I thought we should have had a penalty first of all. I think when Nani fell, he handled the ball but the referee didn't blow for it because the keeper had posses sion. He played on. He went to take a free-kick thinking it was a foul, so he has made an error."
Ferguson said he could "absolutely" appreciate why Redknapp, his players and staff were so incensed. "At the time I had no idea what had happened. It was bizarre. The keeper has got the ball in his hands. Next minute it's in the net. So I can understand their frustration."
Redknapp, having been similarly dismayed 18 months ago when Spurs' 2-0 lead at United turned into a 5-2 defeat after a dubious penalty award, was adamant Mr Clattenburg and his assistant had made a "scandalous" decision. "If he has let play go on, he should have been telling Gomes, 'play on, play on'. What a farcical way to finish a game.
"It was obvious for Gomes to leave the ball there because everyone saw Nani handle. Look at Darren Fletcher's reaction: he's pulling Nani back and telling him to get on with it. I've always thought he was a good referee, and he is, but he made a real mess of that. Alex asked me, 'Did you see what happened?' I said 'Yes. Hand-ball'. He didn't know. He hadn't seen it."
The Spurs manager argued that Nani ought to have been shown a yellow card for deliberately handling the ball, adding: "You can't put your hand on it just because you've got the hump over a penalty." He accepted that the decision may not have affected the outcome, yet added that there had still been time for an equaliser had it remained 1-0. With barely concealed sarcasm he concluded that the officials "will come up with a story that will make it look right".
Fletcher claimed Kaboul's challenge on Nani merited a penalty, but conceded: "It's one of those decisions where nobody really knows what's happened. But Nani can't do anything but put the ball in the net. He's got the opportunity to score, so he's got to score.
"If the referee hasn't given the free-kick, the ball's still in play. If the goalie then puts it down, Nani has every right to put it into the back of the net. You're always getting told to play to the whistle and sometimes you've got to do that."
Tottenham's tales of woe: The curse of Old Trafford
4 Jan 2005 Manchester United and Tottenham are goalless at Old Trafford after 89 minutes when Pedro Mendes, the Spurs midfielder, sees Roy Carroll is well off his line and launches an ambitious shot from just over the halfway line.
The goalkeeper races back to try to keep the shot out but he spills the ball at least a yard over his line. He turns instinctively to scoop it away. With the referee Mark Clattenburg and his assistant Rob Lewis too far away from the incident to judge, Mendes is denied what would almost certainly have been a winning goal.
25 April 2009 Tottenham outplay United in the first half in Manchester and go in at the interval with a 2-0 advantage thanks to goals by Darren Bent and Luka Modric. But the game turns on a controversial penalty award by Howard Webb 11 minutes into the second half.
Wayne Rooney hits a throughball into the penalty area for Michael Carrick to chase. Heurelho Gomes is smart off his line and sprawls at Carrick's feet, appearing to touch the ball away cleanly, but his momentum carries him into Carrick and Webb awards a penalty.
Cristiano Ronaldo scores it and in the next 14 minutes United, sparked into life by the goal, score three more times and run out 5-2 winners.

An interesting story.
Reading the track-school articles that have appeared here, I get the impression they are intended for improving riding on the track (duh). But what about the street? Yes, it's true that some techniques transfer from the track to the street, but would it not be better to have a class offering that is completely focused on improving skills on the streets, in traffic, in the wet or low traction, etc.? Skip Barber does that; you can go to classes intended for people who are into club racing or moving up the race-driver food chain, or you can go to classes that are for people who have no intention of ever driving on a track other than to learn how to improve their street driving. |

Mountain cabin
... or phone signal ! We have been exploring the creeks and islands in our own private river at the bottom of the garden (actually a massive wooded and grassy areas) and enjoyed barbecuing on the terrace. There is a fire pit but since it doesn't seem to drop much below 80 F in the evening we haven't managed to use it. A lovely 3 nights before moving on tomorrow ...
Virginia and beyond
... who stay for 4-8 weeks. We chatted to one of the hosts - he and his wife certainly live in reasonable luxury when they are camping. His fifth wheeler is towed by a F350. The vast majority of caravans, fifth wheelers and motor homes make our caravan at 18 feet look decidedly tiny. This is bear country however we didn't see any. We had to sign off that we knew how to store food, rubbish, worn clothing etc. The tent sites have food storage enclosures to secure ...
A Quick Drive
... br> We got as far as Harrisonburg, Virginia where we found a nice little KOA cabin to take shelter in. Now, apparently this KOA was special because not only was there a great place to eat near by, but they actually did deliveries to the KOA! Once we found this out we took the chance to have a nice hot meal brought to our door. And no regrets were had that night.
