Review: Twin Dragons aka Brother vs. Brother (Hong Kong 1992)
Twin Dragons is simultaneously very stupid and very fun. The tale of two brothers, separated at birth and both played by Jackie Chan, is both a cross-cultural fish-out-of-water tale and a rollicking action flick. It's not one of the better … Continue reading

I asked my father once if he would mind me writing about his experience. "What experience?" he inquired. "Your experience in the Civil War",[1] I said. He responded immediately "I did not participate in the Civil War". My father does not count himself as a participant in the Civil War, despite the fact that he spent half of his life carrying a rifle in Beirut's "Western" and "Eastern" suburbs, and he spent the other half paying for the first half.
He preferred me not to write about it, but his experience is also mine; present in my present as in my past. I feel my chest tighten when I see pictures of the dead, or mothers of the disappeared, or when former militia men appear on TV as the "new" statesmen. When my mother speaks to me of long nights waiting for my father to come home, my own head aches.

Good luck on your move….I moved 5,300 miles away last year and I know how stressful it can be. Best of luck.

When I got my customized banner, I was pretty excited too, it just makes you feel all warm and gushy inside…
Although we ARE warm and gushy inside, I guess it just makes you more aware of it.
Anyway, I like it!

That's a really nice banner. Impressive work!

Thanks everyone. I can't help but peek at it daily and feel a bit of excitement to see some of Faith's work put to use. I am thrilled everyone likes it. 😀

The White House has vetoed a U.S. International Trade Commission order that banned Apple from selling some older iPhones and iPads that it deemed violated Samsung patents.
The move is a rarity for the Obama administration, and the president's office in general. The last time such a veto occurred was in 1987, according to the Wall Street Journal. Last month, the trade commission banned the imports of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 3G and iPad 2 3G distributed by AT&T, essentially banning their sale in the United States, USA Today reported.
U.S. & World
U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman notified the commission via a letter Saturday of the decision and that he was acting on the president's authority.
"My decision," Froman wrote, "does not mean that the patent owner in this case is not entitled to a remedy. . . . On the contrary, the patent owner may continue to pursue its rights in the courts."
Not surprisingly, Apple was happy about the decision and Samsung was not.
"We applaud the Administration for standing up for innovation in this landmark case," Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said in a statement. "Samsung was wrong to abuse the patent system in this way."
A Samsung spokesman said the company was "disappointed" in the decision.
The move by the Obama administration is an odd one, especially when there are so many other causes to be championed, such as seriously awful patent trolls. Apple with all its wealth and apparently influence, likely doesn't need championing. Unfortunately the decision shows that Apple and the White House may be too close for comfort.

I'm a mom of 3 and I haven't found a swimsuit I really loved in years. But I love these!!
I bought a swim suit and two shirts and I absolutely love them. The color, quality and appearance were all perfect.
These shoes were so cute and comfy I ordered a surprise pair for my mom. They are true to size and shipped quickly. I get so many compliments!
These are so cute that I ended up buying them in 3 colors, brick red, black, and white! These shoes exceedes my expectations; the online pictures don't do them justice! Perfect for summer and super comfortable!
Best bottoms I have ever worn!! They keep the tummy ticked and I love where they sit on my bum.. no cheeks showing!! Will be buying more from Lucy!!
I have bought 2 swimsuits from Lucy Ave and both have fit so well! I love the beach bum sweetheart top! It's super flattering and cute!!! I'm a 36 DD and a size large fits good and snug but not too tight! Since I had a kid 2 years ago, swimsuit shopping has always been terrible!! But when I found Lucy Ave on Instagram I was surprised at how many cute but modest swimsuits there were!! So glad I could find a swimsuit that made me feel sexy instead of giving up and wearing a frumpy old lady one piece!!! THANK.YOU.SO.MUCH!!!!
Lovely shirt great fit and the material is soft. I would purchase from this company again. I trust the product quality.
These shoes are perfect for what I was looking for! I like how they're a little different than the classic slip on style and they look so cute with jeans or joggers. I immediately wore them to take my dog on a walk and the memory foam made them so comfy. I'm usually in-between a 7 and 7 1/2 and I got the 7 and could even wear really thin no show socks. Great buy!
Lucy AVENUE boutique is definitely the place to shop for stylish and quality clothing. I absolutely loved every item I have purchased and in cases when items didn't fit, customer service was quick to help me return my items with no hassle. I will definitely be shopping from this boutique more frequently. Thank you Lucy AVENUE for spicing up my wardrobe! If you're looking for a boutique to shop at, this is the one.
I loved this top. The material was so soft and the quality was fantastic. The only reason why I returned it was because it was a little bit too big on my petite self. For reference, I am 5'1 and 145 lbs and ordered a small. If you like the looser relaxed fit, I would stick with the small but for a little bit of a tighter fit, go with the x-small.
Great pair of sandals- love the pattern and they are so comfy too!
Would definitely recommend me. The mask is comfortable and machine washable, and of course cute!
Fits well and looks super cute
Love the comfortability in these shoes. They not only fit good, they look good too! True to size and so easy to wear! Love them! :)
I was nervous to buy a bathing suit online without being able to try it on but loved the way it fit!! So excited to wear them to the beach!
You will totally love them! I got the wrong size because of the reviews but I would recommend getting you every day size. Lucky my daughter has a smaller foot so I let her have them. She loves them. She loves that she can wear them with anything.
I love them!!! I went based on reviews and almost everyone said to down size but DO NOT down size!! They are true to size. They are really pretty so you will not be disappointed. I had to give mine to my daughter lucky she has a smaller foot but they're sold out and I really would love a pair for myself.
Loved my shopping experience with Lucy Avenue! The shipping was super fast and the items are very very good quality! I will definitely be buying from them again!
Such cute items. It's a little more than I like to spend on tops but the quick shipping is worth it plus the company is the USA.
Super fast delivery and loved my leopard top!! Just placed another order!!
My quarantine shopping addiction really paid off with this top. It's so cute. The fit is true to size. It was also delivered really fast. I'd give more than two thumbs up if I had more hands.
Elaina Button Up Top Blue
These are so cute! Such great quality! I got myself and my 2 year old daughter matching ones! ❤
Love the simple colors
This was my first purchase from Lucy Avenue and I am absolutely in love with the tops I purchased. The online ordering process was easy and I received my items quickly. In fact, I just placed another order. I can't wait!
Loved the print and great quality
I really enjoyed the experience I had with Lucy Ave. I purchased a pair of shoes — which by the way are very cute and GREAT quality. The company did a great job processing my order in a very timely manner and always kept me notified with where they were at in the process. I will definitely be purchasing more from this boutique in the future!
Loafers were shipped and arrived promptly and were well made and exactly as expected. Loved the BOGO!
They are comfy and super cute!
My mother received a pair of shoes from Lucy and loved them! Thanks for the quick customer service as well when I placed the order with the wrong shipping. address.
Knot Top Bondi
Stylish and comfortable
I love this top! I got an XL and it fits perfect. I'm between a L and XL and sometimes when ordering online you never know but this is true to size, cute and different.
Great quality and fit
I have ordered from Lucy Avenue several times and I am so happy with everything I have received! When something did not fit the exchange was so easy!
Flowly. Fits well. Soft. Love the look. Comfort yet stylish.
Great experience with my first order!
fits comfortable and I love it
Great fit and very comfy!
Excellent customer service. Would order again.
I got the knot top bondie in cheeta print. I am a 34DD and a medium fit perfectly! I am so excited to wear this all summer! Awesome quality.
Royce Tie Dye Top Olive
Love this boutique. I've ordered now 3 times. Things come quickly and the quality is great.
These are my new favorite shoes!
Allways love ur shoes
I had some issues with my order that happened to work itself out. I still got a quick response and the assistance I didn't end up needing. My order arrived so fast and I'm absolutely in love with my dress. Can't wait to order more!
I ordered a medium top and am a DD. It fits perfectly and is very supportive. There are adjustable shoulder straps and a great amount of coverage. The suit is really high quality. I'm really happy with my purchase!
These shoes are so cute and comfortable. I will say they run a little small. I usually wear a 9.5, so I ordered a 10, and my heel was at the very end of the shoe. But, I make them work because I love them. Shipping is always super fast and the quality of the items are always great. Love this boutique!
I'm so glad I found Lucy Avenue. Their clothing is well-made and super adorable! I will order from this boutique many times I am sure!

Poverty summit in Dublin ends with focus on practical solutions to urban povertyFeb 21, 2013
Dublin – The eighth biannual Forum of the World Alliance of Cities Against Poverty concluded in Dublin today with bold promises to put words into action. More than 500 delegates from cities around the world met for two days to debate, discuss and deliberate on solutions to urban poverty challenges.
Thousands more attended virtually online, as this was the first WACAP Forum to take advantage of crowdsourcing, tapping into the experiences and expertise of people throughout the world for ideas and examples of how to best make cities smart, safe and sustainable. Through its social media approach, WACAP8 reached an astonishing number of 2.8 million followers online.
Hundreds of best practices in reducing urban poverty were presented at WACAP8, which concluded today in Dublin. Cities from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas attended the Forum. Among the best practices that were show-cased, UN Women brought city delegates from Port Moresby, Quito, Kigali, New Delhi and Cairo to showcase its "Safe Cities Free of Violence against Women and Girls" initiative. Dublin is the first developed city to join this programme, which is a big step forwards for the programme and is expected to have a positive impact on the safety within Dublin and other cities worldwide.
The delegates to the global forum were particularly interested in Edmonton's efforts to be a zero-waste city, and also its experience in working through public-private collaborations to make the capital city more efficient and responsive to citizen needs. This is one example of a number of concrete solutions to real problems that WACAP8 has presented to city leaders and that will contribute to creating smarter, safer and more sustainable cities.
Sally Fegan-Wyles, Executive Director of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, emphasized that "in order to end poverty in cities and to create a safe environment for all citizens, it is of the outmost importance to foster balanced partnerships between the public sector, the private sector and civil society." City leaders, she said, should identify what needs to be done, who is best placed to do that and what can they do to help them make that happen.
Peter Finnegan, Director of the Office of Economy and International Affairs said the Forum "created a link between the challenges that urban areas are faced with and the solutions that city leaders, in close collaboration with other actors, can offer to address these challenges and to enable their citizens to enjoy the right to a dignified life in the city."
The outcomes of this Forum will be shared with hundreds of cities through the WACAP network in order to ensure that the inspiring ideas, suggestions and solutions will enable city leaders to build on the momentum of this event and translate the outcomes into tangible results in their own specific context.
The World Alliance of Cities Against Poverty (WACAP) is a network of more than 900 cities working together to confront development challenges collectively. It was started by the United Nations Development Programme in 1996 following the Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements. The Dublin Forum is the eighth summit of city leaders. The Alliance supports its member-cities to mobilize individuals, governments, and all sectors of society to confront the many challenges of urban poverty and to share successes - and failures - with other cities.Contact information

International Standard Name Identifier (ISO 27729)
ISNI is the ISO certified global standard number for identifying the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers, producers, publishers, aggregators, and more. It is part of a family of international standard identifiers that includes identifiers of works, recordings, products and right holders in all repertoires, e.g. DOI, ISAN, ISBN, ISRC, ISSN, ISTC, and ISWC.
The mission of the ISNI International Authority (ISNI-IA) is to assign to the public name(s) of a researcher, inventor, writer, artist, performer, publisher, etc. a persistent unique identifying number in order to resolve the problem of name ambiguity in search and discovery; and diffuse each assigned ISNI across all repertoires in the global supply chain so that every published work can be unambiguously attributed to its creator wherever that work is described.
By achieving these goals the ISNI will act as a bridge identifier across multiple domains and become a critical component in Linked Data and Semantic Web applications.

Voter's Guide to Berkeley Measures HH and JJ
MEASURE HH City Expenditures
Shall the appropriation limit under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (or ceiling on city expenditures) be increased to allow for the expenditure of taxes previously approved by voters for parks maintenance; libraries; emergency medical services (EMS); and emergency services for severely disabled persons for fiscal years 2009 through 2012?
Majority Approval Required
City of Berkeley Measure HH is a product of the so-called Gann Initiative, the Constitution amendment originally passed by California voters as Proposition 4 in 1979 during the Prop 13 tax revolt era.
Under these measures, California cities may raise property taxes for specific city projects through a two-thirds majority vote of its citizens. But, in order to maintain those raised taxes, the cities are required to have them renewed by a majority vote of city residents every four years. In separate ballot measures between 1988 and 1998, Berkeley residents voted by two-thirds majority to raise city property taxes for libraries, city parks (1997), emergency medical services (1997), and emergency services for severely disabled persons. Rather than having separate ballot measures to renew each of these tax increases, the City of Berkeley has combined the four projects into one renewal measure. That's what Berkeley voters will be voting on in Measure HH. If approved, the raised tax revenue will continue to be in existence through 2012.
The measure has drawn some hyperbole from proponents.
In their ballot argument in favor of Measure HH, Mayor Tom Bates, Councilmember Darryl Moore, Berkeley Library Trustees Chair Therese Powell, Center for Independent Living Executive Director Jan Garrett, and City of Berkeley Disaster & Fire Safety Commission Chair Zachary Weiner all argue that "if Measure HH does not pass, the City will lose tens of millions of dollars in already approved tax revenue—forcing dramatic reductions in city services." And in the companion rebuttal argument to the argument against HH, Bates, Powell, Councilmembers Laurie Capitelli and Gordon Wozniak, and North Berkeley Hills resident Barbara Allen calls the anti-HH campaign a "backdoor attempt to subvert the will of the voters," adding that "the opponents of Measure HH do not accept the will of an overwhelming majority of Berkeley voters and are now attempting to overturn their decisions by denying the reauthorization of these voter-approved revenues."
Both of these arguments are a little disingenuous.
While rejection of Measure HH would mean a reduction in some level of city services (opponents put the amount at $25 million while proponents say it amounts to "tens of millions of dollars"), it is not true that this will mean a reduction in "already approved tax revenue." The various measures by which Berkeley voters approved the original property tax increases were done so only for a specified time period, with the understanding that voters would be able to come back when the time period expired to approve or disapprove renewal. The time period of the original measures has expired. And since that is the case, opposition to Measure HH cannot properly be called a "subversion of the will of the voters" or an attempt to "overturn" previous decisions by voters, since Berkeley voters earlier expressed their will on the property tax increases under ballot language that specifically said that such re-evaluation would later come back to them.
Prop HH opponents (which include Berkeley Alliance of Neighborhood Associations President Marie Bowman, Council of Neighborhood Associations Laurie Bright, Claremont-Elmwood Neighborhood Association President Dean Metzger, Le Conte Neighborhood Association President Karl Reeh, Oregon Street Neighborhood Watch member Betty Hicks, CAN Vice-President David Krasnor, former Housing Advisory Commission Chair Gregory Harper, Blake and California streets neighborhood activist Robert Baum, and Berkeley Property Owners Association President James Kilpatrick), do not argue that the city services to be supported by Measure HH (parks maintenance, libraries, emergency medical services [EMS], and emergency services for severely disabled persons) are bad services that should be eliminated. Instead, the opponents are arguing that the City of Berkeley has essentially engaged in a "bait-and-switch" operation over the years.
"Yes, we approved these taxes in the past," the ballot argument against Measure HH reads, "but we were deceived. We thought we could get improved streets, parks, EMT and other services. Instead, what the City did, was for every penny we added as additional taxes, the City took away City funding. So the amount of funding for these essential services has not increased. This is why, although we are paying for more taxes, we don't receive better services. Council has used our regular tax dollars to pay for pet projects, and then asked us to pay for essential services."
Opponents conclude that "it's time to tell the City to prioritize essential services."
It would seem that this is the heart of the battle over Measure HH, and how voters can make their decision.
For those who believe that the Measure HH services (parks maintenance, libraries, emergency medical services) are overfunded, not important, or not as important as other city services, the decision is easy. Vote no on Measure HH, and funding for those services will be reduced.
For those who think the Measure HH services are some of the most important in the city—and also think that Berkeley's tax rates are within reason—the decision is also easy. Vote yes on Measure HH, and both the funding for the HH measures and Berkeley's current property tax rate will remain the same.
For those who support the Measure HH services, but believe the opponents' "bait-and-switch" argument, the decision is more difficult. Those voters will have to gamble that if Measure HH is voted down, City Council will continue to support the Measure HH services at something near their present level by making cuts in other parts of the city budget, either voluntarily or under pressure from Berkeley citizens.
MEASURE JJ Medical Marijuana
Shall the City's ordinances be amended to eliminate limits on medical marijuana possessed by patients or caregivers; establish a peer review group for medical marijuana collectives to police themselves; and permit medical marijuana dispensaries as a matter of right under the zoning ordinance rather than through a use permit subject to a public hearing?
Majority Approval Required
If Measure JJ looks awfully familiar to Berkeley voters, there's a good reason. The issue originally appeared on the November 2004 ballot as Measure R, with Alameda County declaring the measure a loser by 191 votes out of more than 50,000 cast. Measure R proponents filed a lawsuit charging that the ballots were improperly tallied by the old Diebold electronic voting machines. But in large part because the machines were returned to Diebold and erased, thus making it impossible to verify if the count had been accurate, a Superior Court judge ordered the measure put back on the ballot for this November.
So here we are again.
Measure JJ adjusts the laws governing legal medical marijuana growing and dispensation in Berkeley in several ways.
To help the city regulate existing medical marijuana dispensaries and to try to ensure that new dispensaries have a proper management and safety plan, Measure JJ proposes establishing something called a Peer Review Committee for such purposes. The Peer Review Committee will consist of appointed representatives of the marijuana dispensaries themselves, and will have no enforcement powers, only the power to make referrals back to city officials. While this would not eliminate the Berkeley Police Department from the regulation and law enforcement process, it would appear to serve to put the police in more of a criminal law enforcement mode with regard to the dispensaries, rather than the city's first line of regulation. Whether this is a good or bad thing is up to voters to decide.
The measure would raise the amount of marijuana that a single medical marijuana user could keep or grow in the City of Berkeley, as well as limiting the amount in the possession of a dispensary itself, substituting a statutory quantity for "a reasonable quantity of dried cannabis and cannabis plants to meet the medical needs of patient members." If Berkeley residents who use marijuana for medical purposes need more marijuana than is called for in the present Berkeley ordinance, the raised amounts in the new ordinance would serve to reduce the amount of illegal marijuana bought by legal users in Berkeley. On the other hand, if the medical marijuana need is actually less than the newly proposed amounts, the excess will probably make its way onto the illegal market. Again, voters have to decide which is the best way to go.
Probably the most significant change proposed by Measure JJ would allow medical marijuana dispensaries to open in the City of Berkeley "as a right" with the status of a retail sales outlet in locations zoned for that purpose, rather than having to apply for a use permit under the current process. Medical marijuana advocates will say that the current ordinance allows the city—intentionally or unintentionally—to freeze the number of dispensaries in the city, eliminating a legal and medically necessary treatment for some residents. Opponents will say that eliminating the need for a use permit—which can only be granted after a public hearing—also eliminates any say residents might have in keeping medical marijuana dispensaries out of their particular neighborhood. Again, Berkeley voters will have to decide which right is the more important.
The ballot argument in favor of Measure JJ was signed, in part, by Councilmembers Kriss Worthington and Max Anderson.
No argument against Measure JJ was submitted.

1,000-foot felony: Charges dropped in 2 drug cases
Two of three recent arrestees charged with selling drugs within 1,000 feet of a school–- a controversial drug war tactic–- have now seen their charges dropped.
In October, three alleged cocaine dealers snared by the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement task force picked up an extra felony charge for allegedly hawking their wares within one-fifth of a mile of a school, as Virginia state law makes it illegal to sell drugs within 1,000 feet of a school–- even if the dealer isn't targeting children as clientele and even if the dealer has no idea the school is there.
Jose Cano, 26, from Woodridge and Jorge Rosales-Garcia, 26, from Fredericksburg were arrested October 20 behind Kohr Brothers Frozen Custard in the Woodbrook Shopping Center, according to Rosales-Garcia's attorney, Jessica Smith. They were charged with possessing with the intent to distribute 4.5 ounces of cocaine within 1,000 feet of Woodbrook Elementary, a school that is not visible from the parking lot where they were busted.
The two men were in court November 19 for preliminary hearings, and the 1,000-foot charge was dropped for each, although for different reasons.
For Rosales-Garcia, the charge was nol prossed as the result of an agreement with the Commonwealth's Attorney, says Smith.
"He waived the preliminary hearing, and the school charge was dropped," says Smith, declining to say whether her client would plead guilty as part of an agreement with the prosecution.
At a preliminary hearing the same day in Albemarle General District Court, the 1,000-foot charge also was dropped against Cano.
"The judge did not find probable cause the event took place within 1,000 feet of a school," says Cano's attorney, Nick Reppucci. Cano was certified to the grand jury on the cocaine possession charge.
The third man who allegedly tried marketing illicit wares too close to a school, Carlos Wifred Garcia Sanchez, appears in Charlottesville General District Court December 10. He was arrested October 22 and charged with possessing 500 grams of cocaine on the 2200 block of Barracks Road and within 1,000 feet of UVA–- even though the only nearby sliver of UVA is a softball field popular with law students.
Critics say the law means getting charged twice for the same crime, and isn't much of a deterrent if the defendants don't know the schools are there.
"I think it looks good for politicians," says Lynchburg attorney Joe Sanzone. "It looks like a problem is being solved."
Sanzone defended an Amherst star quarterback whose misdemeanor pot charge turned into a felony when the prosecution determined the bust was with within 1,000 feet of a school as the crow flies, even though by public street the distance exceeded 1,000 feet.
Virginia Code 18.2-255.2 makes it a felony to sell drugs near school bus stops, libraries, and publicly owned community centers as well, and it carries a minimum of one year in jail and a maximum $100,000 fine.

Question: Why would smeone knowing put his neck on the chopping block and beg you to swing the axe?
Answer: you can't kill a dead man,
This is not a joke.
People do not think a little bit of a drug can hurt them.
See what happens when they turn up positive for hep c.
Rehab is not cheep.
Also do not do the crime if you can not do the time.
Joe Smith.
You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With the love grass in his hand
Oh but the pusher is a monster
Good God, he's not a natural man
The dealer for a nickel

A Unesco City of Literature, Dublin is justly proud of its literary heroes, and their footsteps are there to be followed at Dublin's literary landmarks
Is Raglan Road is one of your favourite poems? Take a seat beside the bronze sculpture of poet Patrick Kavanagh and join him gazing out at the Grand Canal. Did Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest leave you in stitches? Tip your hat in thanks to Oscar as you pass his statue in Merrion Square.
A certain Samuel Beckett is remembered with a bridge over the River Liffey. A theatre in Trinity College recalls the Alma Mater of Booker Prizewinner, Anne Enright. If My Fair Lady will always be Pygmalion to you, then George Bernard Shaw's birthplace should make your literary Dublin list.
But that's not all…here are another five Dublin literary landmarks to add to that list.
James Joyce penned Ulysses, possibly the finest novel in literature, and it's set in and about Dublin. The city's nod to him is the annual Bloomsday bash on 16 June, when Joycean types celebrate the book by dressing Edwardian and going on a Ulysses-reading binge. Any time of the year, you can enjoy Joyce in Dublin though: high-five his bronze self on North Earl Street, pop into the James Joyce centre or pick up lemon soap at real-life Ulysses relic, Sweny's.
You'll find literary heroes nicely packaged in places like the Dublin Writers Museum. Grainy sepia photographs of a louche-looking Oscar Wilde; postcards from playwright Brendan Behan in Los Angeles; Samuel Beckett's telephone; and a first edition of Patrick Kavanagh's poem The Great Hunger written in his own hand… if you're in the mood to while away an entire day in literary immersion, this is the place.

Lady Augusta Gregory could well be considered the queen of Ireland's early 20th century literary revival. She was a dramatist, a folklorist and you can add theatre manager to that. Along with WB Yeats, it was Lady Gregory who co-founded Dublin's Abbey Theatre with WB Yeats, thereby beginning the Irish Literary Revival. Yeats himself, George Bernard Shaw and John Millington Synge are just some of the names that were made in the Abbey.
Today, it remains firmly at the centre of Dublin's literary life by hosting talks, lectures and top theatrical productions.
Also on the Yeats theme, The Yeats Exhibition at the National Library delves into the life and work of possibly Ireland's greatest poet. According to the New York Times: "The exhibition draws its power not only from nimble navigational tools but also from the intimacy of the encounters."
The Dublin Literary Pub Crawl eloquently demonstrates Dublin's affection for literature in verse and monologues, all on a journey of the pubs and places on which the city's literary luminaries left their mark.
Neary's, McDaid's, The Old Stand, and The Palace Bar – all the classics are on the menu. The thought of Kavanagh, Behan, Flann O'Brien et al, bickering, drinking and dreaming makes these places more than just boozers.
With the right book, you can sample Dublin before you even arrive. You just need to know which one to dip into. For Literary Pub Crawl guide Colm Quilligan, the choice is an easy one: "Without a doubt Dubliners by James Joyce…a book written in a style of 'scrupulous meanness'."
Maeve Binchy's passing in 2012 was met with sadness, but her work is still eliciting grins and giggles worldwide. And perhaps the odd teardrop. Circle of Friends, Tara Road and Evening Class flew off the shelves and into bestseller lists.
Maeve is fondly remembered in the boutique seaside village of Dalkey, home to the Dalkey Book Festival (503179), where she used to read her short story about the town; and Finnegan's pub on The Sorrento Road, where she and her husband Gordon even had their own regular table.

Microsoft has announced several developer opportunities to extend Office 365, specifically around Outlook encompassing mail, contacts and calendar. All those initiatives focus around the business side of Microsoft's email, contacts and calendaring, until now.
On October 30, Microsoft announced a similar initiative to have developers build apps to extend the consumer side of their email, contacts and calendaring called Apps for Outlook.com. This initiative will let developers build extensions that target a potential user base of 400 million.
In a sign of Microsoft "merging" the back-end technologies across business and consumer product lines, they also said that even though this functionality will be available only in Spring 2015, developers can start now by building apps against Outlook Web App. In other words, apps built for Outlook Web App today will work seamlessly with Outlook.com too. This is good news for developers, obviously, because now developers building productivity apps don't have to worry about enterprise vs consumer our Outlook vs Hotmail/Outlook.com.
Per Microsoft:
Whenever a customer reads or composes an email or calendar event, your app could be there, helping them get the job done. If you have a great idea for how our customers should interact with their email or calendar, now is the time to make it happen. Not only are these apps simple to build–they use open web technologies such as HTML and Javascript–but you can start building them today. To learn how to get started, check out Mail apps for Outlook on MSDN and the Office Dev Center.
It should be noted, Google has already built APIs to enable developers build apps against Google Apps which include GMail, Google Contacts and Google Calendar. These APIs also allow access to several other entities in Google Apps.

Testing out the Vail Colorado head cam. Super sunshine and corn snow in the Back Bowls. But snow is predicted to start at 2:10 a.m. this coming evening. Hopefully some powder tomorrow.
The video above might take a bit to download because the tunes are so good. Click it, then go to the kitchen and make some cookies while it downloads. Nothing special about the skiing on the film except for some fun GS turns in the Back Bowls and a lesson on how to get on the chair lift. Excuse the spelling error on "Emperor's Choice". No new snow the last few days, but it doesn't matter. Nice spring skiing, corn snow in the back, groomers on the front. Chris R.

Remember last week, when Braylon Edwards said some nasty things about the New York Jets' management when he took to Twitter to defend Mark Sanchez? I believe he referred to those "calling the shots" as "idiots." Surely, the Jets wouldn't want anything to do with a guy like that.
Oh. Well, at least now Mark Sanchez will have someone around to raise his spirits the next time he buttfumbles.

Janney Montgomery Scott says it has recruited a Morgan Stanley (MS) advisor in Greenville, Del.
Vincent Crognale is joining the Philadelphia-based broker-dealer with close to $80 million in client assets, Janney said Thursday. Crognale is an 18-year industry veteran who spent the last 13 years at Morgan Stanley and was with Wheat First Butcher Singer from 1995 to 2000.
"With close to two decades of financial-services experience under his belt, Vince is highly regarded in the industry," said Regional Manager Tom Simcik, in a statement. "He shares Janney's exemplary focus on the advisor-client relationship by constantly keeping clients' needs in the front of our minds. I am confident that his clients will benefit from all that Janney offers."
Janney, which is based in Philadelphia, is a unit of Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. In June, the broker-dealer had 741 financial advisors managing more than $58 billion in client AUM.
In late July, Janney recruited two veteran advisors on the East Coast with more than $90 million in client assets; one of them previously worked for Morgan Stanley.
Morgan Stanley says that it had 16,321 advisors as of June 30, an increase of 37 reps from the prior quarter and a decrease of 157 reps from the year-ago period. Total client assets were $1.78 trillion at quarter end versus $1.79 trillion in the earlier quarter and $1.64 trillion last year. Fee-based assets currently represent 35% of total assets, according to the company.

Monday, 26 September 2011 11:22 AM
JERUSALEM (AP) — Two thousand years after they were written and decades after they were found in desert caves, some of the world-famous Dead Sea Scrolls went online for the first time on Monday in a project launched by Israel's national museum and web giant Google.
The appearance of five of the most important Dead Sea scrolls on the Internet is part of a broader attempt by the custodians of the celebrated manuscripts — who were once criticized for allowing them to be monopolized by small circles of scholars — to make them available to anyone with a computer.
The scrolls include the biblical Book of Isaiah, the manuscript known as the Temple Scroll, and three others. Surfers can search high-resolution images of the scrolls for specific passages, zoom in and out, and translate verses into English.
The originals are kept in a secured vault in a Jerusalem building constructed specifically to house the scrolls. Access requires at least three different keys, a magnetic card and a secret code.
The five scrolls are among those purchased by Israeli researchers between 1947 and 1967 from antiquities dealers, having first been found by Bedouin shepherds in the Juddvean Desert.
The scrolls, considered by many to be the most significant archaeological find of the 20th century, are thought to have been written or collected by an ascetic Jewish sect that fled Jerusalem for the desert 2,000 years ago and settled at Qumran, on the banks of the Dead Sea. The hundreds of manuscripts that survived, partially or in full, in caves near the site, have shed light on the development of the Hebrew Bible and the origins of Christianity.
The most complete scrolls are held by the Israel Museum, with more pieces and smaller fragments found in other institutions and private collections. Tens of thousands of fragments from 900 Dead Sea manuscripts are held by the Israel Antiquities Authority, which has begun its own project to put them online in conjunction with Google. That project, aimed chiefly at scholars, is set to be complete by 2016, at which point nearly all of the scrolls will be available on the Internet.

You Can't Go Wrong with Sliders at Eat Rite Diner in St. Louis
Eat Rite Diner
622 Chouteau, St. Louis MO 63102 (map); 314-621-9621
Cooking Method: Griddled.
Short Order: Budget prices, priceless experience.
Want Fries With That? No idea—I haven't had the fries there in 10 years.
Price: Six sliders with cheese, $6
When planning a recent trip to St. Louis with Nick Solares's review of 11 different New Jersey slider emporiums on my mind, I hatched a crafty plan. I would not call my friends to come pick me up until long enough after my Megabus got into Union Station that I would have time to make my first trip to Eat Rite Diner in about eight years. And since I spent that particular visit at this 24/7/365 joint sleeping (yes, we'll call it sleeping) with my head on the counter, joining the legions of people before and since then who have done the same, this would be my first time actually eating at Eat Rite in 10 years.
Located on Route 66, Eat Rite has remained virtually unchanged since it opened more than 60 years ago even as its surroundings have shifted from a major transcontinental highway to Busch Stadium (two blocks away) and the Purina world headquarters (across the street). The small shop has 13 stools with dark green vinyl seats in various states of disrepair. The countertop is worn down and the tile floors and walls appear to have been around as long as Eat Rite itself. There are two pinball games (one old, one new) and a jukebox—that's it. This place is as bare bones as it gets.
When I walked into Eat Rite at about 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, there was just one other person seated at the counter. The friendly woman in charge asked what I wanted and there was really only one option: six sliders with cheese for $6. I watched as she opened the residential-quality refrigerator that stands right next to the stove and pulled out six raw patties and then put them on the oiled griddle topped with some fresh onions. After a couple of minutes, she flipped the burgers, putting the onions underneath the patties, and returned to the fridge for a plastic-wrapped stack of American cheese that may or may not have come from the same company that supplies public schools. The final cooking touch was to spoon out some melted butter onto the griddle and then put the buns face down in the pool for less than a minute.
When the burgers were taken off the griddle and a couple of pickle slices were added, I knew I was in for a treat. The beef itself is not particularly flavorful, but it's texturally outstanding. The onions and pickles, along with the watered-down yellow mustard I added, were the predominate flavors, though the taste from the meat definitely came through.
Texturally, the patties were cooked well done and came with a beautifully crisp edge that made each bite a pleasure to chew. The patties have enough heft to make the bun to meat ratio work, but by the time I got down to my last two, I put two patties on one bun and was very pleased with the result.
Also in the burger family at Eat Rite is their Slinger. The Slinger is a St. Louis diner and chili house tradition that is made of hamburger patties topped with fried eggs, hash browns, and chili, and then finished off with a whole lot of cheese and onions. I was tempted by the ever-present large pot of chili sitting on the stove, but I opted to stick with just the sliders on this particular visit. I regret that decision.

Q. What's so great about soy-based ink? I didn't even know regular ink was bad for the environment. –Aimee, Tulsa, OK
A. Soy-based inks do have a smaller environmental impact than do traditional, petroleum-based inks, says Sevim Erhan, PhD, a Department of Agriculture chemist who researched soy ink as part of the USDA's attempt to address a soybean surplus in the 1980s and 90s. Manufacturing traditional ink is a pretty dirty business -- it produces a lot of pollutants called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Soy ink produces a lot less. Plus, when it comes time to recycle, paper printed with soy ink is a lot easier to de-ink, and anything that makes recycling less energy-intensive and more cost effective is a good thing.
It's worth noting, though, that most inks out there labeled with the "SoySeal" do have at least some petroleum-based oil in them, and that the actual soy content in some types might be as little as 6 or 7 percent, according to the labeling standards set up by the American Soybean Council. Newspapers can actually be easily be printed with a high soybean oil content ink; 90 percent of US papers choose it -- probably not because they're particularly environmentally-conscious, but because it's a practical, affordable option for them. Greeting cards, wrapping paper, and posters also lend themselves to soy-ink-printing. We've even heard tell of soy-based tattoos.
Magazine printing, on the other hand, is less soy-friendly. Since the magazine-compatible soy inks on the market today contain pretty high percentages of petroleum, Plenty has elected to forgo soy ink for our print magazine for the time being. We use soy-ink in the office, though!
But a good general rule of thumb is to choose soy-based inks over petroleum-base ones, whenever possible. Fewer VOCs will wind up in the atmosphere, and you'll be helping to make it easier to recycle paper.
Story by Sarah Schmidt. This article originally appeared in Plenty in September 2008.

Thought I'd jump in to introduce myself.
My names Jonny, and over the past year or so I've been teaching myself java in my spare time. I have a fair amount of experience using Java SE (least I think so :rolleyes: ), and I'm currently in the process of teaching myself Java ME mobile applications, and hoping to move onto Java EE Serverside stuff after I've got my head round that.
When I'm not messing round with Java & C#, I enjoy snowboarding, cooking and heading to music gigs.

text: Whether it's your first or fiftieth visit to the Aquarium, there's always something new to discover! Here are our top 10 insider tips for making this next visit even better than the last: Visit During the Week Visiting National Aquarium during the week gives you access to all the Aquarium has to offer...with plenty of time to linger. Be an Early Bird Start your day off right—with US! Arriving before 11 am gives you a head-start checking out Blacktip Reef and all our other exhibits. Plus, there's so much that happens as the animals start their day, and you can be a part of it. More of a night owl? A visit after 3 pm means you'll experience our animals during a less busy time. Make a New Friend Starting every morning at 9 am, a special meet-and-greet lets you get up close with a new best bird or lizard buddy. And throughout the day, Aquarium staff members are on-hand to share information about what they love—the ocean and all of its inhabitants! From animal encounters and educator talks to feedings and diver presentations, there's something going on at all hours starting right when the Aquarium opens. Check out the schedule at the digital message boards in the Aquarium and on the back of the guide map. Buy Online to Pick Your Time Purchasing tickets at aqua.org means that you can pick the entrance time that works for you. Our timed entry is designed to ensure that everyone has a great experience. What could be better than that? Look in Every Nook and Cranny Yes, the exhibits are lovely to look at, but there's so much more to explore if you take the time to look beneath the surface. See if you can find the sandbar shark pup in the Atlantic Coral Reef. Search for hidden gems—Upland Tropical Rain Forest is filled with them, like the tarantula who makes its home in the log or the tortoises up on the top level. Check out the wolf eel in the Kelp Forest rock and the amazing mantis shrimp in the Adaptations Gallery. Take your time—no matter where you look, there's something incredible to discover. View Blacktip Reef From Every Angle National Aquarium's newest exhibit is a wonder from every perspective. Whether it's through our floor-to-ceiling underwater viewing area or from above at multiple levels, there's always something exciting to see. Turn Your Visit Into an Adventure Go behind the scenes with your favorite animals and exhibits! Immersion Tours give you an inside look at what makes the Aquarium and all of its inhabitants so special. Take Great Aquarium Photos Capture an amazing visit with incredible photos. Skip the flash, boost your camera's ISO for low-light conditions (if yours has the ability to do that!), aim straight into the tank, and be patient. By experimenting and taking tons of shots, you're bound to get a few gems. Planning to post your photos online? Be sure to share them with us via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and we might just highlight YOUR photo! The jellies are ready for their close-ups... Join Our Community Apply your purchase to a membership and maximize your aquarium experience all year! Support from our members is absolutely critical to the amazing work we do to conserve the world's aquatic treasures. And, with free unlimited admission, discounted parking, and access to many other great benefits, membership makes sense (and cents) for everyone who loves the Aquarium. Take the Aquarium Home With You The residents of National Aquarium are happy where they are, but there's a lot you can do to extend the experience at home. Visit aqua.org for access to incredible webcams of Blacktip Reef and the Pacific Coral Reef, information on conservation opportunities near you, and blogs from our Aquarium experts on everything from animal rescue to marine mammal training. Explore a stream near you, looking for reptiles, amphibians, and birds that make their homes near water. Go to the library or explore online resources to learn more about the animals you met during your visit. Make sustainable choices that will help conserve our oceans and waterways.

The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program is a Federal-State cooperative effort in which monthly estimates of total employment and unemployment are prepared for approximately 7,300 areas, including counties, cities and metropolitan statistical areas. These estimates are key indicators of local economic conditions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for the concepts, definitions, technical procedures, validation, and publication of the estimates that State employment security agencies prepare under agreement with BLS. Estimates for the remainder of the substate labor market areas are produced through a building-block approach known as the "Handbook method." This procedure also uses data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES program, State UI systems, and the decennial census, to create estimates that are adjusted to the statewide measures of employment and unemployment. Below the labor market area level, estimates are prepared using disaggregation techniques based on inputs from the decennial census, annual population estimates, and current UI data

I believe in karma. That you get back what you give to the world, in goodness and in energy. Sometimes, it's easy to see this happening and find connections between events; other days it's challenging to see even a remote link between actions and circumstances.
Nevertheless, I think that consistently putting out as much good as you can helps positivity return when you need it most. Maybe in small doses, and maybe after a long wait, but without fail.
I don't think karma is magic, however; there's nothing official to it and no guarantees. Buying a stranger's Starbucks doesn't entitle me to lottery winnings and letting someone pass me in traffic doesn't equate to a bonus at work.
Despite the somewhat inconsistent return on investment, I still believe in this wholeheartedly. It's like that scene in Harry Potter…until Harry fully believes in Hogwart's and wizardry, he can't miraculously fly into the brick wall in the train station. Or something like that.
I can't fly into brick walls or cast spells, but last week I randomly bought someone's breakfast in the cafeteria at work. Then two days later, a stranger bought my dinner.
A few days after that, I passed a homeless man en route to Home Depot. I didn't have any cash so I bought him a bottle of water when I left the store. He was gone when I drove back but I kept the water bottle in case I passed anyone else who looked thirsty. It's approximately one million degrees in Phoenix during August so I have to think water's as valuable as money.
Today, almost a week later, I passed another homeless man who was clearly tired and needed help. I parked and approached him, asking if there was anything I could do. I gave him the water bottle and went into the closest coffee shop to get him a muffin. The girl behind the counter saw that I was getting it for him and didn't charge me, and he seemed mostly content with my offerings, despite also asking for a beer and a ham sandwich.
A few hours later, I made yet another trip to Home Depot (we're moving…it's a sinkhole for savings accounts). Afterward, I went back to the same coffee shop for lunch. As I paid for my food, I was offered a free drink out of nowhere. Thank you Luci's.
These are, perhaps, random coincidences and fortunate twists of fate. I like to believe there's a greater connection though, and that at times, the universe aligns perfectly.

SKF OK Couplings
Slash connection times for shafts and flanges
Mounting and dismounting shaft couplings can be time-consuming operations that take hours or even days to complete. SKF OK Couplings can significantly reduce the time required to connect rotating shafts and flanges in heavy mining and cement machinery.
An SKF OK Coupling does not require a keyway in the shaft or hub to transfer the torques. This is a major savings and helps avoid shaft stress raisers. These Couplings incorporate a thin tapered inner sleeve, designed to fit over the shaft, and a thick outer sleeve, with a taper matching that on the inner sleeve. Oil is injected at high pressure between the mating surfaces and the outer sleeve is driven up the inner sleeve with an integral hydraulic jack. Once correctly positioned, oil pressure is released and the resulting powerful interference fit enables high torques to be transmitted.
- Easy, safe and quick to install Keyless
- Increased equipment performance
- Extended service life
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Reduced Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)

Tim O'Reilly, the driving force behind the concept of Web 2.0 and a genuine social media thought leader, details why Twitter is becoming the leading social network in today's social media world. The interview is conducted by FORAtv.com President & CEO Blaise Zerega. Asked to compare social networks to human "senses" and to name the most important social network, O'Reilly nails it with these ideas:
- Unexpected impact: "I don't know if there is a single new thing, right now, or if we will notice it right away. People didn't know how big Google would be in 1998. . . if there is anything in that category today I would say it's Twitter."
- Twitter's Impact: "The thing that has impressed me the most about Twitter is it's brought real time to a peak on the web"
- Trend: Twitter's impact on how we expect real time information is "making the web more sensory like. . . "
- What Does it mean?: "It means you start to build systems for stimulus and response."
- Humans & Computers: "There is a whole part in what we're building here, is this new hybrid human computer machine"
- Constant Factor: We are moving toward a "Collective Intelligence" which will cause a "Revolution in Business."
