Despite what many people would say, I do not believe this is Windir's crowning achievement. I would say that would have to go to one of their later sounds, either 1184 or Likferd.
Valfar was a very talented musician. Although he did not play all the instruments on this album, this album was composed entirely by him. For many (including myself) this album started the whole fandom of Windir, as all of their previous releases before this are highly inaccessible. It is easy to see how this album got most Windir fans. The album contains very fast complex songs, likewise with the drumming and all other musical elements on this album (for instance the synths). However, there are no real easy listening/intermission parts on any songs on this album. However, the album contains Windir's only easy listening song: The Beginning.
Throughout the entire album, the album switches from both excellent to just good songs. For instance, Arntor was an excellent song but then the album progresses to Kong Hydnes Haug, which is only a good song and so on. This is why I do not believe that this album is the jewel in the crown of Windir's achievement; nevertheless, however, it is a solid piece of black metal.
The vocals here are slightly more high-pitched (both clean and black metal wise), probably because Valfar was younger on this recording. This album has more clean vocals than any other Windir release I have heard. This may or may not be a good thing for you, depending on how much you like clean vocals. This album is about 60% black metal vocals and 40% clean vocals. Unlike their later albums, which were more like 85% black metal vocals as to 15%, clean vocals.
It really was a shame that Valfar died at such a young age. He really had a lot of potential and in my opinion, was yet to reach his creative prime. If he had or not, we will never know, but what we do know is that he left behind a great musical legacy. Personally, I think the guys from Windir should have contacted Vratyas Vakyas, the guy from Falkenbach to fill in for Valfar, as he plays a very similar type of music to Windir. He certainly would not put Valfar to shame. To any who is new to Windir, I would suggest you get yourself a copy of this.
Conclusion: The above is recommended for purchase. If, it is however, your first Windir album, I suggest you download it.
ASIDE: You could be forgiven for thinking this is a concept album, as there is an intro song called "The Beginning" and a song at the conclusion called "Ending". Furthermore, there are two songs on the album Kampen (The Struggle) and Saknet (the longing), which seem to be related. However, this is not the case."

The Aurora Board of Election Commissioners this week knocked 2nd Ward aldermanic candidate Steven Schoppe off the February primary ballot because of his status as a convicted felon.
"The law says that a convicted felon cannot serve in any municipality as alderman or mayor or anything like that," said Carole Holtz, executive director of the commission. With Schoppe off the ballot, incumbent Ald. Bill Cross is in a three-way race with challengers David Marquez and Tony Lopez-Cisneros.

Photo Flash: South Coast Repertory Presents THE PRINCE OF ATLANTIS
Family dynamics and the importance of connection will rule the stage when Steven Drukman's The Prince of Atlantis has its world premiere March 30 – April 29. The production is part of the 15th Annual Pacific Playwrights Festival (PPF), which featured a staged reading of Drukman's instant comic hit last year.
Check out the production photos below!
The play begins and ends in a minimum security prison outside Boston, where seafood mogul Joey Colletti, played by John Kapelos ("The Breakfast Club") landed after getting into a little trouble for mislabeling some of his imports. Only nine months of his sentence remain when the adult son Joey never knew contacts him, hoping to meet. Joey concocts a plan in which his brother, Kevin (Matthew Arkin of SCR's Our Mother's Brief Affair), will put the kid off for a few months. What follows is a hilarious tale about the legacy we leave and what family really means.
Rounding out the cast are Jeremy Glazer, who will make his SCR debut as Joey's son, and Nike Doukas as Joey's tough-talking girlfriend. SCR audiences have seen Doukas in more than a dozen shows since 1993, including The Happy Ones in 2010, while Glazer has appeared on "Desperate Housewives" and "How I Met Your Mother."
Drukman's relationship with SCR began when his play Truth and Beauty was presented at PPF in 2002. Other produced plays include The Bullet Round (Arena Stage) and Flattery Will Get You (Connecticut Repertory Theatre).
The artistic team is comprised of Tom Buderwitz (scenic design), Peter Maradudin (lighting design), Angela Calin (costume design), Kelly Miller (dramaturg) and Chrissy Church (stage manager).
Honorary Producers are Yvonne & Damien Jordan. Media sponsors are PBS SoCal and OC Metro.
TICKETS: Can be purchased online at www.scr.org, by phone at (714) 708-5555 or by visiting the box office at 655 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa. $20-$68.

Six reasons why this job could be perfect for you.
Employment Growth
As Americans get older, it is anticipated that an increasing number of elderly are going to choose to remain in their own homes as long as they can. This is increasing demand for caregivers to provide services in residential settings, assisted living facilities, and adult day care programs. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics rates the job outlook for home health aides as "excellent." In fact, it's the second-fastest growing profession in the U.S. (behind registered nurses). Careerinfonet.org estimates job availibility for Home Health Aides will grow by 69% or over 700,000 more jobs dueing the ten year period 2010 to 2020.
Variable Schedule
Home health aides carry out duties which can be needed on a range of schedules. Which means you are often permitted the option for a flexible or non-traditional job schedule. For example, you could visit a client at their home daily, weekly, or on any other schedule. You may also elect to work overnight shifts for patients who require over-night monitoring. Home health aides in Sunnyside, WA can easily work part-time or full-time. This can be very helpful if you are looking for a job that permits you to satisfy child care duties, continuing education, or any additional commitments.
Employer Variety
Being a home health aide means you could have different employment routes to choose from based upon your work preferences. HHAs are employed by home health agencies, adult day care programs, non-profit organizations, assisted living facilities, and private parties (families). You'll receive a different degree of benefits, assistance, and workplace depending on the kind of employer. Some caregivers opt to be independent and do private-duty work so they have more control over their careers and clients.
Gateway Occupation to Additional Medical Careers
For those who are considering a health care career, training to be a home health aide is a good entry point. This allows you to obtain working experience in the field, as well as to keep working, as you pursue becoming a CNA, licensed practical nurse, RN, or any other occupation in the medical field.
Local Opportunities
Ordinarily there is enough demand in the local community that home health aides do not have to travel very far for work, unless they choose to. If you would like to have the ability to easily relocate, the demand is such that you shouldn't have a problem doing so. However, training and certification requirements may differ from state to state so you will need to make sure that you have the necessary certifications to meet local requirements.
Make a Difference
Lastly, and most significantly, this career allows you to do work that can make a difference in the lives of the patients you aide. For anyone that is a caring person that values the chance to help people live their life with dignity, becoming a home health aide in Sunnyside, WA is likely the ideal career for you!

Obama says he'll want $5 billion to clean up Great Lakes
Democrat Barack Obama says he'll want $5 billion to clean up the Great Lakes if he's elected president.
The campaign will spell out its plans today (Tuesday), after it made a general commitment last week at the Great Lakes Restoration Conference in Milwaukee.
Media reports say Obama will ask Congress to approve the $5 billion over a 10-year period.
To pay for it the Democrat would scale back the federal tax breaks oil and gas companies now receive.
Obama also pledges a zero-tolerance policy for invasive species which arrive on freighters from overseas and kill native plants and fish by gobbling up their food.
Obama also vows to create a Great Lakes czar to handle water management issues and coordinate various clean-up projects like sewage plant upgrades, wetland restoration and the removals of toxic chemicals.
Republican John McCain has also supported a Great Lakes clean-up plan, but he refuses to commit to a dollar amount.
At the urging of President Bush, a task force came up with a $20 billion plan a few years ago which Congress has pretty much ignored.
Meanwhile, McCain's camp accuses Obama of excess spending, saying the $5 billion would go above and beyond what the original clean-up strategy called for.

The Relationship Of Mind To Brain
Conceptualizations and theories of mind differ as a function of chronological time, religious belief and culture as well as ancient and modern philosophies. In early theoretical accounts of mind (Plato and Aristotle and, later, the medieval philosophers) mind was associated with soul, itself being considered immortal and divine. Most accounts, including modern views, characterize mind as thought and consciousness in the context of experience and environment. That the mind is often considered a property of the private self as is evident in such popular expressions such as "make up my mind", "change my mind" and "know my mind". Memory, attention, logic, insight, problem-solving, the ability to communicate and, depending on the theory, emotion, depression and unconscious processes are among the main characteristics of mind.
The relationship of mind to brain is evident in all discussions of mind, and most recently in psychiatric and neuroscientific discourse. Cognitive science and neuroscience are presently engaged in understanding how brain processes, behavior and cognition interact. Cognitive neuroscience is actively involved in investigating how human beings, active and thinking organisms, use their brains to achieve their goals and fulfill their needs in the context of complex and changing environments. This research shows inextricable links between cognition, which is considered to be mind-based, and environment and between cognition and action, which is considered to be physically based[1]. Recent fMRI research [2] shows that specific aspects of basic sensory and motor cognition as well as higher level processes of face and word recognition as well as thought, all considered mind-based, are supported by brain regions that are highly and uniquely specialized for those processes, suggesting that the mind-brain interaction occurs through highly specialized unique brain mechanisms. Episodic memory, for example, the ability to remember what happened to the self and when, and believed to be uniquely human, is an important ability of the human mind. It has been well researched [3] using neuroimaging research and specific frontal lobe episodic memory brain regions (different from those associated with semantic memory) have been identified that further link the brain to the mind.
The relationship of brain and mind is especially important for the field of psychiatry which has long implemented treatment within the brain vs. mind dichotomy. Gabbard 2005, claims that the brain and the mind are not separate entities but that "the mind is the activity of the brain". Gabbard, 2005,[4] deplores psychiatry's broad association of genes, medication and biomedical factors to the brain entity, and environment, psychotherapy and psychosocial factors to the mind entity, and argues for the unity of the mind-brain entity by stressing the inextricable nature of the interaction between genes and environment, as well as that between psychosocial factors and brain structure. Polarization of brain and mind in contemporary psychiatry, and the subsequent view that medication is indicated for biological or brain-based disorders whereas psychotherapy is appropriate for psychological or mind-based disorders, is, in his view, a misconception and it retards the implementation of comprehensive treatments that are bio-psychosocial.
In this context of psychiatric brain research, there is neuroimaging evidence that mind-associated mentalistic variables play a role in the neurophysiological basis of behavior in humans[5]. This conclusion is reached based on the results of neuroimaging investigations of the effect of psychotherapy in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder or unipolar major depressive disorder, which show that the functions and processes implicated in the psychotherapy affected brain activity and plasticity. Results from studies on the placebo effect also converge towards the same conclusion that mind-based mentalistic processes occasion brain activity[5]. Those studies show that the mere belief and expectation created by ingestion of a placebo medication, modulated brain physiological and chemical activity.

Jeremy Marshall-King will blow out the candles on his 18th birthday cake on Monday. What he wishes for is anybody's guess but it could well be the chance to make a name - his own name - for himself in the NRL.
This is no easy feat given he plays for the same club - and occasionally in the same position - as his big brother, Benji Marshall.
The fact that Benji has moved on and another sibling, Jordan, has done likewise means he is the last Marshall at Wests Tigers. Not that Marshall-King is concerned.
''I just want to make my own name,'' he said. ''He's my brother but you can't just keep following him, you've got to do your own thing. It's given me a bit of inspiration, the stuff he's done for the NRL and the club. Me coming through, it would be good to make my own footsteps through the club and not follow his, to do my own stuff.''
While there are similarities in playing style - Marshall-King is also a noted goalkicker - there are differences on and off the field.
''I'm a bit shy at times,'' Marshall-King said. ''We sort of play the same but we're different. He's a bit louder than me, he's got a bit more communication than me. I'm going to have to work on that.''
But then, he joked: ''There's a different Marshall coming through. A better one.''
While the older Marshall made the Tigers No.6 jersey his own, Marshall-King has played predominantly at halfback. After being left out of the opening three rounds, he forced his way into a Balmain S. G. Ball side that went on to win the title for the second consecutive year.
His emergence - along with fellow young guns Luke Brooks, Mitchell Moses and the Sironen brothers, Curtis and Bayley - gives the Tigers arguably the most exciting young halves talent in the NRL.
''It's exciting because we are all mates there at the Tigers - everyone knows each other,'' he said. ''To go out and play with your mates would be good, a lot of fun.''
The New Zealand-born playmaker will train with the Tigers' under-20s squad and has set himself the goal of making his debut in the under-20s competition this year. He is hoping to further develop a game that has been refined under S.G. Ball coach and former Dragons halfback Mathew Head.
''It's good because he's a half as well so he's taught me a few things I can do kicking-wise,'' he said. ''That's good because my kicking wasn't that good at the start but doing practice with him has taught me a few things.''
The Hills Sports High graduate arrived in Australia at the age of 10 but considers himself a proud Kiwi, solving any potential eligibility issues. For now, however, he is hoping to work his way through the grades with the ambition of making it to the NRL. He does so knowing advice from Benji is just a phone call away.
''He says nothing comes easy, you've got to work hard,'' Marshall-King said. ''That you can't worry about anything else, just train hard and work hard.''

It's the final Undercover session ever in the little round room—we're moving down the street soon—and what better way to send us off than with a bone-shaking performance by those beloved scumdogs of the universe in GWAR. The final song is "Carry On Wayward Son," the big ol' 1976 smash hit by Kansas that still lives a healthy life on classic-rock radio today. It was one of the first songs to make this year's list, and we couldn't have dreamed that it would be performed by huge, angry aliens. (And you wouldn't believe the bands that were attached to cover it at one point or another throughout the year...) We were of course delighted that GWAR would not only grace us with their presence, but also choose the little round room as the public debut of new lead guitarist Pustulus Maximus. We are quite sure you'll enjoy this, and perhaps stop accusing us of only allowing puny indie bands into our office. GWAR tour dates are below, too. Oh, and we'll start the voting for your favorite of the year very soon...

An APP developed by a Trowbridge charity has been commended at an awards evening.
The free Amber Homeless Helper app was developed by homeless charity Amber to help people access information and advice about homelessness.
It was highly commended at the 2012 Charity Times Award Ceremony last week in the best use of technology category.
Chris Bath, based at Amber's Bythesea Lodge in Trowbridge, thought of the idea for the app.
He said: "It's basically a directory of services to help people who are homeless. Very few people who are homeless are actually sleeping on the streets, they may be sofa surfing, in temporary accommodation.
"The first question we're always asked is 'Do homeless people have smartphones?' Well yes, they do, by and large.
"The second target audience is professional people working with homeless people, and thirdly, concerned members of the public."
"It was nice to get nominated. We were up against some quite big players, including the Salvation Army and JustGiving so to get highly commended we exceeded our expectations. It was just brilliant."
Up to 30 young people live at Bythesea Lodge at any one time and stay for about six months, working to turn their lives around.
Services that would like to be included on the app can contact Mr Bath on 01225 759905 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Spider-Man: The Movie
Review by The Clam of DOOM
"Why not Spider-Clam!? They're racist!!"
Honestly! How many clam themed shows, movies or video games do you see today? None! But enough pro-clam ranting I'm here to review Spiderman: The movie for the...don't make me say it..PS2. Why the italics? Why not!? It's MY review and I can do WHATEVER I want! *Reads submission guidelines*..Well I can do lotsa stuff anyway! Stop holding my back from my reviewingness! Like I was saying Spiderman: The Movie is based on Spiderman..the movie..yep..and it has pretty much the same controls and what not as the 2 PSX Spiderman games (I'll get more in-depth about that later), but don't listen to Tom (that stupid Toonami robot). This game does NOT follow the movie ''to the letter''. To make it longer they added battles with The Shocker, The Vulture (you know him right? The old guy in the bird costume?) and Scorpion and they changed some parts of the story a little so you would fight more, but much like the bottle of Distilled Vinegar that is life...I don't know where I'm going with this.
Gameplay 8.5
Swing around town, crawl on walls, beat people up and feel good doing it (or something like that), but to be honest there really isn't much town to swing around. About 1/3 of the game takes place in the same skyline area (if you fall down to far you die. kind of weird since you can swing and all) and you never get to explore the streets. You're either on rooftops, in buildings or in the sewer. And I'm starting to think Actionvision (they made the game right?) is starting to overdue the sewer bit. They did it in Spiderman for the PSX and they did it here. That's twice in three games. Almost crazy. Much like the boss battles. In most levels you just beat up easy jerks so the bosses come as a surprise. Why? Because some of them are SO hard! And by some of them I mean Scorpion. What's with him anyway? Could he be any cheaper!? The only other thing I find a bit frustrating about the game is webbing. You only have a limited amount of it(it's displayed under you're health meter) and even though you can get more by picking up blue powerups, but running out of web in the middle of a battle gets annoying. Now for some random crap I can't fit in the review fancy like. Finding Golden Spiders hidden in each level gives you a new combo (you know punches and kicks and what not). No it doesn't just tell you how to do it, but it let's you do it. It doesn't make sense, but what does.
Controls 9
Everyone complained that they were too hard to get used to, but guess what. They're NOT! They're so easy! At least I think so. Square punch, O is kick, X is jump, Triangle is web (used to up enemies or hit distant switches), Up and Triangle is Impact webbing (Powerful webbing that damages enemies), Down and Triangle is Web Yank (Yank enemies off of walls, into walls, into water, off buildings, but for some stupid reason they took out the diagonal Web Yank from previous games! What's up with that!? It was uber useful!), Left and Triangle is Web Spikes (is that what they're called? You're hands are coated in webbing which greatly increases the power of your punches), Right and Triangle is Web Dome (which protects you from attacks then explodes damaging enemies), R1 is web zip-line (zip up to ceiling, across rooms or use while climbing buildings), R2 is swing (You know in air? Your main mode of transportation?), R3 (I hate calling it that. Press in the right analog stick) makes a cursor appear which helps you aim (duh), L1 locks onto enemies, L2 centers camera, and press L3 (ditto what I said about R3) to duck. Simple no? It's not nearly as mind-wrenchingly difficult as it sounds. Trust me. Better yet. Don't.
Graphics 8.8
Real realistic like. Really! Though there are some jagged polygon edges (keep in mind this is PS2 we're talking bout') it's still a pretty sight like the sun glazing a donut with it's tender… transparent stuff that tastes good. Though I can understand why they went for the realistic look (after all the movie was live action) I prefer the comic book style of the PSX Spidey games. Still.. very nice like.
Sound 7
He'll be singin'. When he's swingin'. Well actually he doesn't, but if he did I'd give this game a at least a 9! Anywho… the uh sound. It sounds…like.sound. But seriously The game has some pretty good sound. I'm really overusing the word sound no? *clears throat*. Spiderman The Movie is a nice sounding game. Nice in the aspect that the sound doesn't suck. The voice-overs are done pretty well like Spidey sayin' stuff bout' stuff and the thugs yelling generic phrases at you over and over. Well the second part is actually kind of annoying, but it's nothing that will scar the game like an Atma Weapon to the spine. I hate it when games contain spine piercing Atma Weapons. No real music is a minus though.
Replay 7.3
The game is fairly short (round 2 hours) , but four levels of difficulty, hidden areas, unlockable costumes and 2 playable characters (I guess saying who the other is could be considered a spoiler. Not like everyone doesn't already know) keep the game alive longer than.. well longer than it would be alive without those things! And don't forget Pinhead Bowling! Stupid yes, but is stupidity really a bad thing. Yes it is. And that's what makes Pinhead Bowling great. I do however refuse to explain Pinhead Bowling…. Oh all right! You start out in front of a lane with a 10 thugs at the end (replacing pins). You press the swing button and kick when you get close. Yay.
Overall Spiderman: The Movie is good. That's all I have to say.
Note: I do NOT own a PS2. God forbid! I played this game on my friends PS2. The friend shall remain nameless.
Final Score: 7.7
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

Cabela's a Top Gainer
Cabela's (CAB) is a top-five gainer on the NYSE today. The sporting-goods retailer is up more than 14% on very heavy trade following this morning's pre-open earnings report. CAB's strong results sparked a powerful gap-higher open that lifted the stock 7%. Shares continued to climb in the early trade easily taking out heavy resistance near the $62 area. At midday, the stock is stabilizing near $65 on triple its average daily volume.Cabela's (CAB) Source: TradeStation View Chart » View in New Window »
The breakout action today leaves behind a significant bottom just below $55. Six weeks ago, CAB exploded to the upside on heavy trade after the company made positive comments about business acceleration. The March 12 ramp, which ended with a 12.5% ramp, left behind an upside gap at $54.80. After weeks of tight, sideways trade while volume slowed to a trickle, CAB was in need of a pullback. Resistance near $62 proved too heavy and, coupled with a highly overbought condition, CAB was headed for a pullback. Last week the stock filled the March 12 gap and, despite falling below its supportive 50-day moving average on heavy volume, support below $55 held....83 more words left in this article.

What happens in Sherman's Lagoon doesn't always stay in Sherman's Lagoon. In this, the fourteenth collection of Sherman's Lagoon comic strips, we examine the once-taboo subject of sea turtle courting rituals and conclude that, although sea turtles may be remarkable navigators, it's a cruel exercise in Darwinism when they show up at the right place without the right pickup line.With 280 strips featuring the adventures and misadventures of Sherman the great white shark and undersea entourage, Confessions of a Swinging Sea Turtle gives fans of the strip a much-needed dip in Sherman's Lagoon.

The USA ESTA or Electronic System for Travel Authorization is a travel document that you need to get when traveling to the USA. This is a requirement for nationals of countries on the Visa Waiver program only as all other nationals will need to get a visa to enter the United States. There are a number of facts that you need to know about the USA ESTA if you are thinking of traveling to the US.
You Must Have A USA ESTA
You need to have an approved ESTA if you want to travel to the US because without one you are unlikely to be allowed to board the plane. The ESTA is also necessary if you are stopping in transit in the US. If you are unsure about whether or not you need an ESTA then you need to consider if your plane is going to land in the US because if it is then you need to have one.
You Fill Out The Application Online
The ESTA application is completely online and will need to be completed through the official Department of Homeland Security website. When you complete the application you need to take note of the reference number that you are given and keep it somewhere safe. It is recommended that you print the authorization page if your ESTA application is approved and take it with you when you travel.
It Costs $14
The application will cost $14 to complete and this will be payable upon submission of the online application. You will need to pay the fee with a credit card, but it is important that you look at the card used. If you do not use the correct card you could be charged a foreign exchange load fee which will increase the costs of the application.
Be Aware Of Fraud Sites
When you Google ESTA you will notice that there are a lot of sites that pretend to be the official ESTA website. There are also other websites that offer to complete the application for you for an additional fee. You need to stay away from these sites are they are scams and you always need to complete the application yourself.
The ESTA Is Valid For 2 Years
Once your application has been approved your ESTA will be valid for 2 years or until the passport you used in the application expires. If you are issued a new passport you will need to apply for a new ESTA. If your ESTA is still valid then you will be able to travel to the US without reapplying.Tags: USA ESTA

Default behaviour of BT4 is to group all similar tasks in the taskbar when this is full (option GroupWhenFull from taskbar settings).
Personally i find it very uncomfortable, so I prefer to use option Never.
My problem is that i use a BT4 live DVD , so at every boot i have to enter in the taskbar settings and change the option to Never.
Does exist:
a) a konsole command able to set the Never option ?
b) a configuration file containing the chosen option, so i can override it copying a "good" one ?
c) whatever else which allow me to set the Never w/o going in the taskbar options?

"Dogs appear to experience a range of complex, unpleasant emotions such as jealousy and pride, scientists have discovered."

Given your penchant for .22 target pistols and Smith & Wessons, I would think the Smith model 41 would be a natural choice for you. Do you have any thoughts on these?
Must be cat folks. See Breda's post for cats experiencing well ...something catlike. ,
"Scientists noted that dogs hate to see their owners being affectionate to other dogs" It's as if the study was done by 'scientists' who never had dogs. Just like the people who describe baby development in my collage psychology text books. Once I finally had a baby, I realized it was all crap.
Yeah, and many other things for which someone paid millions of dollars when all they had to do was ask someone who knew. LOL!
I read your baby story and it gave me chills.
Cats, dogs....many animals - if you observe and/or care for/about, work with - long enough show us different sides of personality --- if someone is looking or cares they see it - if capable --- that's why it can hurt so much when we lose them - they feel, we feel.
probably not part of the study and sorry not part of the blog but -
People should not use (abuse, torture - in the name of science) animals for testing - and that is what it is - torture. Just check into animal experiments. It is a terrible thing. Science/industry has advanced enough to use other and or new testing practices - not animals.
One day I may buy a S&W 41. I came close on a package deal once, $800 for two barrels, two grips multiple mags and of course, the pistol itself, but I passed. I regret that. I will probably never see a deal like that again.
Science stating the obvious. I've got three dogs. If there's anything dogs experience in negative emotions, jealousy, anger, sneakiness (sp?), and grudges are certainly among them. But the Golden is worth it. The other two will make fine furry slippers some day.
hey Pete, I bought a model 41 about a month ago, great deal on a used one. The local gun shop has had 4 used ones in the last 3 months (two there now). I love it, the trigger is very nice- like breaking a glass rod. I assumed that it and a ruger were more accurate than I am, so what sold me on the 41 over a cheaper ruger (and I was looking at the hunter mkiii )was how easy it is to take it apart. after doing it once, I can take it apart and put it all back together in a minute. I had really wanted a ruger too, and it would have been new and stainless, but I made the right choice.

BRADENTON, Fla. – Quiet day in Bradenton as the Pirates and Blue Jays were rained out. Too bad because the Blue Jays were bringing a strong lineup of regulars up from Dunedin and Jason Grilli and Wandy Rodriguez were scheduled to throw. Alas, Grilli will have to wait until Friday to make his Grapefruit League debut and Rodriguez will also have to wait another day to take another step forward in proving the health of his elbow.
On a slow news day, I thought I'd share some observations from the Pirate City complex where I spent some time on Wednesday afternoon. …
*The first thing that jumps out at you is the size of these pitching prospects. Tyler Glasnow now lists himself as at 6-8 (though still a lanky 220 pounds, but stronger than he was). Nick Kingham is built like a man. Not only is he 6-foot-5 but he's thickly built throughout his frame. He's build a little bit like Gerrit Cole … only he's got an inch or two on him. Luis Heredia appears to be in really good shape. He's slimmed down as previously reported to give the Pirates another 6-foot-6-plus right-hander. The thing is they're not even the biggest kids in camp. Twenty-year-old Jen-Lei Liao, a signing from Taiwan, is 6-foot-6 and an easy 270 pounds.
*Austin Meadows is dealing with a Grade 1 (mild) hamstring pull. No timetable on his return, Too bad. Wanted to see him at work.
*Don't forget about Josh Bell. He's a rare athlete on a baseball field, remember he was recruited to play baseball by the University of Texas before the Pirates filled up a suitcase with $5 million. Bell looks like he could play outside linebacker or small forward. He's physical and confident. I'm not sure the bat will ever play enough but he demonstrated he has plus power in batting practice. There's not many switch-hitters with power in the game. He's blocked by a number of quality outfielders, but if the hit tool comes they'll find a place. Maybe first base? Or maybe he becomes an attractive trade chip.
*Stetson Allie is a real wild card. His conversion from pitcher to hitter when better than anyone expected … until he was promoted to High-A.
*Reese McGuire appears to come as advertised. Hard to evaluate pitch framing on spring training backfields but everyone raves about his defensive acumen: the release, the strength, the accuracy of his throws … his understanding of how to call a game at such a young age. He doesn't look like an overwhelmed teenager. I think he has a chance to be the Pirates' Francisco Lindor, which is high praise: a plus-plus defender at a key position with at least an average bat and plus instincts and intangibles. Prediction: he's a consensus top 50 prospect next spring.
*JaCoby Jones is an interesting guy. The Pirates still had him taking grounders at shortstop on Thursday but I have to think his long-term home is int he outfield. He's a really good athlete with a Hunter Pence-type of body. He's a lottery ticket who has had his swing completely rebuilt.
In closing, I haven't been around any other No. 1-rated farm system's backfield but I would think this is what they look like, and Polanco and Taillon are in major league camp.

The project is now in the early filming stages and the actress claims it will be 'funny and quite different than anything else that anybody's seen before.'
Susan Sarandon is set to turn her passion for ping pong into a new reality TV series. The 63 year old is an investor in Manhattan's SPiN club, which launched in September 2009 and offers table tennis fans a place to hang out and perfect their skills.
And now she's taking her love for the sport to a new level - she's making an episodic documentary about the growing trend and ping-pong professionals - including young players with dreams of making it to the Olympics.
She tells People, "We're just in the early filming stages now. I'm not sure where we're going to land in terms of our home because we want the tone of it (show) to be funny and quite different than anything else that anybody's seen before."

This is one of my favorite shapes because they are cheaper to buy and display great in a group. I only need the largest size witch I have seen either broken or $1200 asking....it measures 3/12"h x 10"w.
You can see it in cameo, enamel decorated, iridescent, and most often in tango. By tango I mean two colored in contrasting detail but there are exceptions... Patty has a bowl in the third picture upper left corner with three colors (hopefully she will someday sell it to me). This bowl is at the center of my theory that these pieces were made by kralik too, since this shape is marked in both the oval and script czech mark. Oval marks are for late 20's Loetz while the script signature can be found on kralik tango- In this same "cased glass" style...
...So cased tango = Kralik, Script signature = Kralik; Just because these shapes are the same doesnt mean they were made by the same glass factory.

HARLEM FIGHTER STILL UNBEATEN; Robinson Scores With Long Range Blows to Whip Zivic in 10-Rounder at Garden
By JOSEPH C. NICHOLS ();
November 01, 1941,
, Section SPORTS, Page 12, Column , words
Ray Robinson is still the proud possessor of a ring record that contains nothing but victory. The speedy young welterweight from Harlem scored the most important triumph of his short career last night when he decisively defeated the former 147-pound champion, Fritzie Zivic, in a ten-round clash at Madison Square Garden.

While cleaning out her files of old papers, Deborah Abercrombie noticed an envelope for an egg cooking contest she participated in almost 30 years earlier.
The Flowery Branch woman said she couldn't believe she still had the 27-year-old paperwork from the third annual Georgia Egg Commission's Egg Recipe Contest. She won third place that year when the competition was at Lakeshore Mall in Gainesville, she said.
"I went down stairs and pulled it up on the computer," Abercrombie said. "Sure enough they were still having the contest. So I called and said I'd love to enter."
The deadline for submissions was only two days away and Abercrombie had to come up with an original recipe as her submission. With no time to lose, Abercrombie said she spent the next day trying to come up with a recipe.
"You're not going to believe this," Abercrombie said. "But I made up the recipe that night. I sent it in the next day. I didn't try it, I just knew that it would work. I just knew in my mind that it would work. So I sent it in."
Abercrombie's recipe, Eggcelent Sausage and Cheese Roll won first place in the Georgia Egg Commission's 2013 Egg Recipe Contest on May 15 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry.
The contest required the recipe be original, serve four, use four whole eggs, be prepared in 60 minutes or less and meet the contest theme "Eggs, Any Way, Any Time, Any Place!"
Abercrombie said when it comes to cooking, simple is always best. She doesn't want to make something that's going to take a lot of time.
"There are some recipes that have, oh my goodness like 25 ingredients," Abercrombie said. "Mine has six ingredients not counting salt and pepper. It's so simple."
Since winning, Abercrombie said her family has grown fond of the slightly spicy and filling breakfast.
Abercrombie whisked a few eggs at her sister Kay Herrin's house Monday morning in Gainesville. Herrin said her sister has never entered a contest and not won, but this time she didn't expect to win.
"I told Kay, no matter what happens I'm going to have fun," Abercrombie said.
Herrin said her sister always enjoyed cooking eggs and would often pull a chair up to the kitchen counter as a child to help cook.
"Our mother was a good cook too," Herrin said. "She was a good teacher."
Both women grew up around chickens. Their grandfather, J.N. Wallis, was a successful businessman in the poultry industry. He died in 1928.
Herrin recalled having a daily routine of tending to the family's chickens in the early mornings before school. The women shared a laugh about the memory of catching several hundred chickens one afternoon.
Since the contest will not be held again because the commission will disband at the end of June, Abercrombie said she will look for other competitions.
She eventually hopes to put together a recipe book and has compiled and personalized more than 75 recipes so far.

I am here to let everyone know if you see anyone running around named Maniac thats a fake Maniac... I am the real Maniac writing this thread. This fake SoB has stolen my account that I have worked hard to build since the release of FFXI on Playstation 2. I have completed all of CoP, ZM and up to date on ToAU plus gotten my Magnetic Earring. Ive worked hard to pimp out my character and get endgame armor and now its all gone to waste to someone who doesnt know ANYTHING about any of the jobs I have level'd. All im trying to say is you see this player trying to apply for a linkshell or if he is in a party with you to not even give him a chance. He is a unskilled player and deserves 0 respect from everyone. So far he has been kicked from Final Chapter and RabidMoogle who know about the incident. This is what I get for trusting someone with my account and its my fault at the same time too. Playonline wont do anything but I can take legal action since its illegal to steal someones account. I will not do this since its just a video game and I will get over it. I have made many friends with on this game and its sad to say goodbye since I cant really get my account back. So everyone on Gilgamesh plz be by my side and not give this pathetic person a chance to any LS. Now I feel how Gbf felt when his account was stolen. Goodbye Gilgamesh, these past years were fun and exciting.

The creators managed to strike the perfect balance, with a quick file hosting service that allows the user to customize their file, set passwords and more very quickly. Today, WikiSend gives users another free way to host and share files online.
What makes WikiSend stand out is the ideal balance the application offers compared to other similar file hosting sites. Some are very watered down and include absolutely no extra bells and whistles while some have too many or cram advertisements and other unwanted clutter in the user's experience. WikiSend keeps everything toned down while offering a handful of highly effective features.
WikiSend has a very pleasant, attractive design that doesn't even come close to feeling busy. The user is presented with the upload tab in blue complimented by the image of a night sky speckled in tiny stars. This goes quite well with the small blue rocket ship logo the site has adopted. The second tab, which gives the user access to download options, includes a background consisting of a whimsical blue sky and refreshing green blades of grass.
One of the more appealing aspects of WikiSend is the lack of a registration requirement. Users can access the service whenever they want without creating and account or logging in. All the tools the user needs are available the moment they arrive on the site. This is a great way to save the user time and prevent them from creating another password and username which must be remembered (unless of course they add a password to an individual file, but that is optional).
It is hard to charge a fee when a website does not require an account. WikiSend took the easy route and gives every visitor access for free. There are no subscription fees or other charges for using the service. Everyone gets the same access to all the features and file settings. The amount of time the user chooses for the file's hosting period determines the speed and status of the file, which is a good way to encourage users to post for a shorter amount of time rather than requiring a payment for faster speeds.
WikiSend is a great tool for anyone who has a file that the want to share online. It is best for users who need to access their file for 90 days or less. Even better if the user only wants the file hosted for around one week (because that gives them access to faster speeds and primary status). There are other free file sharing services that offer more than the maximum allowed file size of 100MB.

It kept me wanting more and I cared about the characters. It always
amazes me how they get these productions to look so authentic. I will
certainly recommend it to my friends. I gave it a 10 because it kept me
engrossed and I couldn't wait for the next episode.
It's violent, contains scenes of torture and mutilation though you don't actually see it. So it handles this part well as I am amazed that the current 24 (9) shows Jack brutally torturing someone - it has gone OTT as far as I'm concerned. This show deals with it correctly as it needs to be in it to tell the story.
So I highly recommend it.
Looking for a hero? Well Sky 1 served up a good one with John Porter
(Richard Armitage).
This series has six 45 minute episodes which equates to actually three films. Sky 1 decided to bundle two episodes and so they ran the series over three weeks. Each film has its own flavor.
Situated in Iraq, the first sets up the main characters with lots of tension and action enough to satisfy. There is a damsel in distress (nice performance by Orla Brady),some mystery, tension between characters (Andrew Lincoln does a nice job as Porters nemesis & boss, Collinson), two rescue plots and lots of action. Oh, and lets not forget the smell of betrayal in the air. It ends with a cliff hanger.
Second two episodes involve Porter rescuing (if that is what you call it) an exSAS operative and it becomes like a 'buddy' movie. There is an unsuccessful assassination attempt,prison cock fights, nuns in trouble, kids in trouble, a jump off a cliff, and plenty of our Hero doing what he does best - thinking and acting his way out of impossibly tough situations. Armitage & Shaun Parks are great together. Cliff hanger again. You'll be anxious to see the next story.
The Third episode is much more intense than the first two - more action, more head count, more explosions, more blood and tension plus more close ups. Porter is sent into Afghanistan to extract a renegade computer geek - This episode has a few funny moments, the computer geek played by Ewen Bremner is really fun to watch and beware of the veiled ladies! O, did I mention we have the CIA with their nose in the plot and Porter is protected by the two ladies of Section 20 Layla & Danni (Jodhi May and Shelley Conn turn in nice solid performances also) This film really showcases what an amazing actor Armitage is and what a nice performance in this episode by Lincoln. The ending is really tops.
So to recap Exciting new Hero in three films 1. Fast, 2. Faster & 3. Fastest... you'll really enjoy every minute and wish for more...
I completely enjoyed watching all episodes of Strike Back. It is very deserving of all the publicity that was given to it.It was a little slow to start in episode 1 as it laid down the story line, but still kept my interest. I would not want to miss out on the rest of the great episodes just because of that. It definitely had my heart pounding with the fast paced action as the story developed. All the actors are outstanding, but Richard Armitage is completely magnificent! The range of emotions he delivers in each scene is astounding! I do hope that the producers decide to continue with the series. The ending leaves that option open. I will absolutely be watching it that happens!

Everyone in my family, of both sexes, really enjoyed this. We found it
the most entertaining show we have seen in a long while. Production
values were very high, the cast were all outstanding and the scenery
was magnificent. I felt really pleased that the Brits could pull off
something like this with panache.
Although some might consider the story-line a bit clichéd, we all sat on the edge of our seats and couldn't wait to see the next episode. So they must have been doing something right. I think that you need to see all 6 episodes before passing judgement because there is a very good over-arcing story that runs throughout. The resolution of this plot-line was not only very exciting but also very moving. Well done, Richard Armitage and Andrew Lincoln! You were both magnificent in that final scene.
These two actors were outstanding throughout. Lincoln held my attention as the man with a secret and Armitage, who seemed to appear in practically every scene, was a superb hero; he was the perfect choice for John Porter. The supporting actors were also wonderful. We particularly enjoyed Orla Brady as the hostage in episodes 1 & 2, Shaun Parkes as the imprisoned SAS man in episodes 3 & 4 and Ewen Bremner as the bi-polar technical geek in episodes 5 & 6. Armitage played out some wonderful tender/macho/funny scenes with all of them. Back in the office, Jodhi May also had impact as the gutsy operative determined to get to the truth.
I loved everything about this production including the beautiful African scenery and the pounding music. The final episode finished on a cliff-hanger. PLEASE, Sky, don't abandon John Porter in the desert. Give us another series - he's too good a character to waste.
Extremely violent version of a "24"type show with much better locations and modern effect as it is about covert UK military operations and all THAT entails rather than homeland type US security.I'm HOOKED.It's basically about a special branch called "section 20"which travels all over the world in search of terrorists and weapons of mass distraction.It has its "secrets""double crosses"and other intrigue that the hugely popular series "24" had but MUCH more violent and action packed and I saw it on cable TV cinemas. Now over 2 seasons and 14 episodes I like it much more than 24 but fans in the UK should understand that were it NOT for the HUGE success of 24,would there be a strike back series. It would be very hard to unravel the series many plots and sub plots but it revolves around Philip Winchester as Sgt. Michael Stonebridge,who is SAS trained and the main" in the field "operative and Sullivan Stapleton as Sgt. Damien Scott a disgraced former US Army Iraq war vet.There seemed to be a earlier 3 episodes that weren't shown here but may be available as a movie,but the 14 TV episodes so far are well worth it and they continue.Anyway,these 2 characters bond and have each others backs thru combat and intrigue and personnel crises.The FX work well and don't kill the acting and the"real time"satellite imagery views are fascinating.MUST SEE TV.
After reading all 3 comments so far I can't understand why your
complaining about clichés when many shows if not all use them but to
hate a show based on them is nuts, especially after you watched 2
episodes. I have watch 4 episodes and yes there are still clichés but
this show is far from bad if fact I find it rather entertaining.
Strike Back episodes so far have been action filled and like usual Richard Armitage doesn't disappoint us, this show is on equal footing with many great, TV shows such as Ultimate Force, The Unit and Over There. Which all should of never been cancelled in my opinion and have seen many shows "reality especially" that should be cancelled yet they continue to bore a good majority of people. If I had to choose this show up against any reality garbage out there this show would win hands down.
I not a huge fan of Chris Ryan novels and I have read a few and is a good writer but to be honest I prefer Andy McNab's work. I gave this show a 9 only because 1 person who wrote a comment under rated it because it deserves more than a 5 rating. It's well acted well written the only thing that is bad is that its only 6 episodes. I would of loved to see more than 6 episodes, and for those who have yet to see a single episode, yes I do recommend you watch it if your a action TV show fan.
OK so it's pretty much unbelievable, probably isn't half as good as the
books (I wouldn't know I haven't read any of them), but if you want
fast paced action with hot sexy actors then this is the one for you.
You shouldn't look too deeply, shouldn't really question much of what is going on and you really do need to suspend disbelief. But if you want something that entertains, provides lots of action, has a deep enough for what it is plot line then this is for you. It reminded me very much of Ultimate Force in the first couple of series. Richard Armitage is just too hot to handle and is credible as the tough, damaged (ex) SAS officer who just seems to keep coming back for more - plus he takes his shirt off a lot which for the shallow amongst us is a definite bonus. Great supporting cast including the fabulous Andrew Lincoln, gorgeous Shelley Conn(although I think she could have had more to do) and Jodhi May who's character is strong and definitely "kick ass".
I hope this manages to get a second series - not much on TV at the moment that both my husband and I can watch together but this certainly ticked that box.
I cannot believe so many people hate or just dislike this TV show. In
my opinion it is a great show brilliantly put together great cast and
well written. Chris Ryan did a great job creating this TV show.
I have looked at a few reviews on this show one person said this should have more episode's i agree loads more episode's in my opinion, he/she also mentioned the fact other great TV shows like ultimate force and the unit etc shouldn't have been canceled, i disagree ultimate force should have been canceled it just wasn't exciting enough to watch the unit on the other hand was a brilliant TV show and shouldn't have been and strike back is also a brilliant TV show and i hope it stays on TV for years to come and become greatly popular because it deserves it.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Sky spent a lot of time advertising this show and I have it certainly
lived up to the trailers. The production values were excellent and the
energy in all the scenes were brilliant.The script was tight and at
times humorous.It was like Bond or Bourne for TV very superior in every
way to Ultimate force.
Each two parter was linked by the Collinson/ Porter tension over what had happened in Basara 7 years before the story began.
Richard Armitage as John Porter was excellent it is hard to believe that this is the same actor who played John Thornton in North and South and Harry Kennedy in the Vicar of Dibley. He captured the dilemma of being a paid killer with the moral issues that raises quite brilliantly.The expression in his eyes and the inflection in his voice when he is telling Ewan Bremner the techno geek about how his daughter won't look him in his eyes because he was incorrectly accused of causing the deaths of his men was mesmerising. Richard Armitage is an actor who realises that you do not have to chew the scenery to convey depth of emotion.
Andrew Lincoln was also very good as Collinson the man who destroyed Porters life in a moment of cowardice. I am guessing that a lot of Chris Ryan fans will be disappointed that by confessing and sacrificing himself he earns redemption from Porter unlike the book where Porter gets his revenge.
Jodhi May really grew into the role of Layla and episode 6 was her strongest I loved how she kicked ass with Collinson.
Shelly Conn's character was great as the analyst but I disliked the honey trap element she could have just fancied Porter.
All the guest stars were wonderful and the chemistry between them and Richard Armitage was fabulous. So Kudos to them I would have like to have seen more of Poters home life as I felt this was rushed especially his wife's death Like other reviewers I hope this gets recommissioned.
There is no show or film that has bought this level of war-fighting
realism to the screen. It seems that Strike Back through the author
Chris Ryan was able to retain the services of real SAS and SBS
instructors, something that is a first and omg does it show. Combine
that with dedicated really talented actors which again is unheard of,
usually your typical action star has the acting range of a brick yet
the casting agency has really pulled off a winner. And what about
locations? INCREDIBLE, the British intelligence teams operate all over
the world in some of the most beautiful areas of the planet.
This show has all the class of James Bond and the barrel-end of SAS-level military realism, America could learn some real lessons from this show.
The Brits could dominate TV if they invested in more shows like this.
This is Bravo Two Zero.....out.

Faith Drives Some To Refuse Patients Medication or Care." It has been in my queue since then. I think I kept putting off posting about it because I knew I'd have to read it thoroughly, and I just couldn't bring myself to do so. I guess you might say that this issue - people allowing others to die because of their faith and anti-science beliefs - is one of my sensitive areas. As a scientist and a helping professional, this type of story hits me at home.
Around the United States, health workers and patients are clashing when providers balk at giving care that they feel violates their beliefs, sparking an intense, complex and often bitter debate over religious freedom vs. patients' rights.Health providers who believe in superstitious nonsense that prevents them from providing effective services should not be allowed to provide health care. When one's medical welfare is at stake, one should not be burdened with fears about whether the treating professional is a religious fanatic who will base treatment on anything other than the best medical science available. Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, but this does not seem to be a difficult concept.
"If your religious orientation is such that you can't discharge your professional responsibilities, then you shouldn't take on those responsibilities in the first place," said Ken Kipnis, a philosophy professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. "You should find other work."You've all seen cop and lawyer TV shows that have used some version of the line that "Your freedom to swing your fist ends where my nose begins." The idea behind this entertainment cliche is important: individual freedoms are accompanied by responsibilities. If your exercise of religious freedom causes harm to another, then you are liable and should be disciplined or fired.
According to this article, "Congress and more than a dozen states are considering laws to compel workers to provide care -- or, conversely, to shield them from punishment." Shield workers who cause harm to others through religiously-based inaction? What century is this?
"The issue is driven by the rise in religious expression and its political prominence in the United States, and by medicine's push into controversial new areas." Look closely at the first part of that last sentence. This is a serious problem and remains one of the primary reasons I keep this blog active.
Let this article serve as a wake-up call to anyone who is still questioning the merits of religion's intrusion into politics. Let this article run through your mind the next time you visit your doctor. Most of all, let this article renew your inspiration to be an active atheist who promotes rationality and opposes superstition.

During the monologue with movement Are You Okay, her latest collaboration with playwright and actor Michael Healey, Peggy Baker gets exactly one line, if you want to call it a line: "Okay, we're good."
Baker directs these words to the lighting booth after the audience has settled in. They are an instruction to get things started, but they are also an answer to the title's unpunctuated question and a succinct summary of the show and its message. The next 60 minutes are, essentially, reiteration.
Over the course of Are You Okay, Baker dances, Healey acts (as himself) and, in a rectangular pit a few feet in from the lip of the stage, sound designer Debashis Sinha sits with a laptop and summons up an occasional electronic bleep or bloop to back things up.
If you are listener rather than a looker, Healey is the undisputed focus of the show. He wanders about the stage reenacting his daily walk to and from work while pontificating amiably about the human condition.
Basically, Healey makes an argument something along the lines of:
Whereas we are only conscious of a tiny sliver of the world around us; whereas most of what we do in life consists of repeated actions; whereas the sources of our desires are hidden from us and choice is largely a myth; be it resolved that it's pretty amazing that the human race accomplishes anything positive at all, eh?
As Healey outlines this cynical but sunny outlook on life, Baker attempts to prove that human beings are impressive despite their limitations by moving her body about.
Occasionally, Baker's dance seems to directly mirror Healey's monologue. For instance, she appears to be struggling to make her way through a doorway while Healey talks about how difficult he finds it to leave the house in the morning.
At other times, her movements echo his themes more abstractly. As Healey describes the repetitious nature of life, Baker performs the same frantic movement over and over. It consists of putting one arm out as if leaning on an invisible wall and then thrusting her other arm over it in a pecking motion. It looks like a swan operating a cash register on Boxing Day.
The tone of Baker's writhing is always in contrast to the monologue, however. Healey is relaxed and rambling, while Baker is intense and exact. Always focused, she looks like she is practising some unknown martial art, her strong sinewy arms and legs constantly pushing and pulling at invisible forces.
Though Healey gingerly steps out of her way whenever she comes near, in truth, he dominates the space - psychically at least. Director Daniel Brooks gives the show to him, matching the aesthetic up with his pseudo-casual delivery.
In this atmosphere where no one wants to be seen to be trying hard, Baker's rigorous display of dance ends up coming across largely as ludicrous. Everything around her - the stark lighting, the minimalist sound, the understatedness of it all - seems to be an argument against physical expression and exhibitions of effort.
According to Healey's philosophy - or the philosophy he espouses here, anyway - it is rather incredible any time we do something that is not harmful, given all the factors working against us. With that in mind, it is only fair that to acknowledge that Are You Okay is better than a war, superior to a petty fight with your significant other, and contributes more to humanity than ignoring a person in need on the street.
"I'm not trying to bring you down," Healey repeats several times in the show. And he doesn't, but the answer to the show's title question is: Yes, but just okay.

text: On Slide 2, you'll see a reminder about the risks associated with any forward-looking statements.And on Slide 3, you'll see our acknowledgment that CSC's presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. So in accordance with SEC rules, a reconciliation of these metrics to GAAP metrics is included in the tables of the earnings release and in the appendix to our slides. Both documents are available for your review at the Investor Relations section of the CSC website. Finally, I'd like to remind our listeners that CSC assumes no obligation to update the information presented on this conference call, except, of course, as required by law. Now if you'll kindly move to Slide #4, I'm pleased to turn the call over to Mike Lawrie. J. Michael Lawrie Okay, thank you, Bryan, and welcome, everyone. Thanks for taking some time with us this morning. I am joined by Mike Mancuso, who will cover the numbers. And as you probably know, this will be Mike's last earnings call with CSC as he will be retiring, and I just wanted to thank Mike for, what, almost 4 years of service, somewhat tumultuous, but service, but thank you very much. And as I think, earlier this week, we announced Mike's successor CFO, Paul Saleh. Paul's recognized and a very much respected CFO for leading brands such as Gannett and Sprint Nextel and Walt Disney International. And he's led global finance functions for companies in the midst of significant change and industry transition, and knows the role that the finance community plays in that type of turnaround environment, and has a long track record of achieving profitability improvements and increasing shareholder value. So Paul will be on board May 23. And I'm sure at that point in time, he will begin to outreach to some of you on the call today.

London - A year after the international community set the target of eliminating hunger by 2030, 50 countries around the world are failing to provide their people with enough food.
According to the Global Hunger Index for 2016, close to half of all developing countries received "serious" or even "alarming" ratings based on levels of malnutrition, growth stunting and child mortality.
Overall, the world is getting better at addressing the issue of extreme poverty-driven hunger. But in some regions, particularly central Africa, there is still a long, long way to go to eradicating the problem.
"Simply put, countries must accelerate the pace at which they are reducing hunger or we will fail to achieve the second Sustainable Development Goal [of ending global hunger by 2030], said Shenggen Fan, the director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) which has been producing the index annually for the last 11 years.
Africa accounts for six of the worst 10 countries in the ranking this year, with three - Central African Republic, Chad and Zambia - coming in the last three places.
The rest of the top 10 is completed by Haiti, Madagascar, Yemen, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Timor-Leste, and Niger. South Africa came 68th on the list.
Among the 118 countries ranked, only two have seen their scores get worse in the years since 2008 - Sri Lanka and Jamaica.
But there are 13 other countries for which a lack of data means it wasn't possible to calculate an index score - and they include some of the most concerning malnutrition crises in the world.
The IFPRI said that even without a complete score, partial indicators for things like child stunting, wasting and mortality were cause for concern in Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and Syria.
"Armed conflict is a leading cause of hunger and undernutrition in many of these countries," said Bärbel Dieckmann, President of Welthungerhilfe, one of the organisations involved in the report. "Zero hunger will only be possible if we significantly increase political commitments to conflict resolution and prevention."
This year, no single country scored so badly as to fall in the "extremely alarming" category - but the nationwide figures mask the fact that within some states there can be acute malnutrition crises.
Mexico, for instance, has a low level of overall hunger, but contains areas where child stunting - an indicator of malnutrition - is relatively high.
Dominic MacSorley, CEO of Concern Worldwide, called it "unacceptable, it is immoral and shameful" that there were still 795 million people "condemned to facing hunger every day of their lives".
"Agenda 2030 provides us with the ambition and commitment to reach zero hunger," he said. "We have the technology, knowledge and resources to achieve that vision. What is missing is both the urgency and the political will to turn commitments into action."
"The 2030 Agenda set a clear global objective for an end to hunger - everywhere - within the next 14 years," said David Nabarro, Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Climate Change. "Too many people are hungry today. There is a need for urgent, thoughtful and innovative action to ensure that no one ever goes hungry again."
The 10 countries that are worst at feeding their people according to the World Hunger Index:
1) Central African Republic
2) Chad
3) Zambia
4) Haiti
5) Madagascar
6) Yemen
7) Sierra Leone
8) Afghanistan
9) Timor-Leste
10) Niger
